Mona successfully used her Astrology Defense Technique to block the energy shockwave, but she was left exhausted and slumped on the ground. Merely defending against the aftershocks had drained her of strength; one could only imagine how terrifying it must be at the center of the explosion.
"Illustrious, don't die! If you die, who will I find to be my girlfriend?" Mona murmured in a low voice, looking toward the energy ripples.
The Wolf of the North used its cold power to drop from the wall to the ground. Then, looking at the energy ripples, it laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! Thou art indeed a strong one, but compared to Me, thou art still far behind! That thou couldst last this long before dying is definitely something thou shouldst boast about for the rest of thy life."
But the Wolf of the North's laughter didn't last long before it suddenly stopped. From within the energy ripples, the voice of Illustrious could be heard: "You're the one who's dead. Trying to deal with me with your amateur skills is a huge joke."
"What! How is this possible? Why have you not died?" Upon hearing this voice, the Wolf of the North's eyes immediately widened in shock.
Illustrious waved away the thick smoke around her, a cold sneer appearing on her face. "Hmph! It seems the Wolf of the North is only so-so. If this is your strongest move, then it looks like this battle will be over very soon!"
The Wolf of the North stared intently at Illustrious. When it noticed her tattered clothes, it finally felt relieved. It seemed she wasn't completely unscathed after all. It sneered and said, "Thou dost not look entirely unharmed either. Since that is the case, what right hast thou to end this battle!"
Hearing the Wolf of the North's words, Illustrious felt a bit strange. She was indeed unharmed! She wasn't injured! When that cold energy ball hit her, she had fortunately used her Extreme Ice Power in time to condense a close-fitting protective shield, so she wasn't hurt at all.
Illustrious looked down and discovered that her white off-the-shoulder dress was actually torn. Her panties were directly exposed to the air without any concealment.
Seeing herself in this state, Illustrious's face immediately turned crimson. She wrapped her arms around herself and crouched on the ground shyly. Glaring at the Wolf of the North, who was staring fixedly in her direction, she said angrily, "Ah! You pervert, don't look! If you keep looking, I'll kill you!"
The Wolf of the North said expressionlessly, "I do not deign to admire thy body. If one speaks of beauty, it is the bodies of Us wolves that are more to My liking. However, seeing thy state, thou canst not continue to fight Me. Go and produce some clothing first, then I shall battle thee once more."
After saying that, the Wolf of the North turned around quite gentlemanly, not looking at Illustrious, and waited for her to fix her clothes.
Seeing the Wolf of the North turn its back, Illustrious finally stood up slowly. She first rapidly condensed Extreme Ice Power on her body, and the Extreme Ice Power instantly restored her white off-the-shoulder dress to a brand-new appearance.
Gazing at this brand-new white off-shoulder dress, Illustrious was filled with emotion; this Extreme Ice Power was truly quite useful! Not only could it be used for combat, but it could also be used to repair clothes.
"Wolf of the North, I'm done. Let's continue our battle from just now!" Illustrious shouted toward the back of the Wolf of the North.
"Thou still wishest to fight me? How interesting. Then I shall satisfy thee," the Wolf of the North sneered upon seeing that Illustrious still wanted to fight.
"Hee hee hee! Come on! Let me see how much power you have left," Illustrious said with a smile.
A powerful aura erupted from within the Wolf of the North, and countless cold forces enveloped its body like flames. It looked quite striking, making one feel unable to muster even a hint of resistance.
"As expected of the Wolf of the North! Your aura is truly terrifying, but you are unable to pose even the slightest threat to me," Illustrious said indifferently.
"Thou art only smug for now. In the next second, watch how I destroy thee." After the Wolf of the North finished speaking, it immediately began running across the plaza.
The Wolf of the North continuously ran in circles around Illustrious in Boreas Plaza. It was so fast that it left behind a series of afterimages wherever it passed.
The Wolf of the North continued to accelerate, making its power even stronger. When it reached the point where it could no longer increase its speed or strength, the Wolf of the North immediately shot toward Illustrious.
"You're spinning around so much that my head is getting dizzy. It's really making me sick. Just die!" Illustrious said quite angrily as she watched the Wolf of the North spinning around.
"The one who shall die is thee! Behold my move: Heavenly Wolf Descending the Mountain!" the Wolf of the North shouted as it charged toward Illustrious.
The power of the Wolf of the North's dash was terrifying as it continued to accelerate. The surrounding air was completely driven away, and countless cold forces swirled in front of it. That unstoppable, fearsome threat seemed as if it would completely destroy any obstacle in its path.
Facing the charging Wolf of the North, Illustrious did not panic. She lightly raised her right hand and snapped her fingers in mid-air. With a snap, a circular block of ice nearly ten zhang wide fell from the sky like a meteor.
Gazing at the suddenly appearing ice meteor, the Wolf of the North was greatly surprised. It hadn't expected Illustrious to have such a terrifying ultimate move, which scared it out of its wits. It had to dodge; otherwise, if it were hit, it would suffer heavily if not die.
However, dodging was not that easy for the Wolf of the North. Because its speed was too high, inertia made it impossible to stop abruptly, and it could only continue charging forward.
Looking at the rapidly approaching massive ice meteor, the Wolf of the North couldn't help but feel that it wouldn't be able to dodge even if it tried, because the speed of the ice meteor was not a bit slower than its own charge.
The massive ice meteor easily broke through the protective barrier formed by the Wolf of the North's cold power and slammed solidly into its defenseless body.
The Wolf of the North felt a sweetness in its throat, its face turned pale, and a stream of blood flowed from its mouth. Its eyes went white, and it appeared to be seriously injured.
"Boom!" A world-shaking explosion rang out as firelight shot forth. A snow-white mushroom cloud instantly rose into the air, and countless energy shockwaves erupted from the point of impact before spreading in all directions. Wherever they passed, the terrifying Extreme Ice Power actually completely froze the surrounding trees into ice sculptures.
The entire area within a ten-kilometer radius turned into a world of ice. It looked quite spectacular, making one marvel at its terrifying power.
Mona, who was watching the battle from afar, was very agile. When the energy shockwave of Extreme Ice Power generated by the explosion was about to reach her, she quickly formed an Astrology Barrier and struggled to defend against the impact of the explosion.
Defending against the aftershocks left her exhausted. Seeing the environment changed into a world of ice with a single move, Mona had to re-evaluate Illustrious's strength as truly terrifying. It would likely be very difficult for anyone to defeat her; even the Seven Gods might not be her match!
