In his hand, the spear developed a strange circular pattern of ice blue. Following that, bursts of pure frostfire bloomed from the tip of the spear, stabbing towards the abdomen of the mechanical suit.
“Winter Frostfire! Seal!”
The ice-blue flames opened up and spread, turning into an intense chill. With the environment’s enhancement, it began at the suit’s abdomen, and in just two seconds, the entire mechanical suit was encapsulated in ice.
Within the dark eyes of the armor, a dim light gradually faded, as if ceasing to operate.
Watching the encased armor, the guards let go of their held breaths.
“The team leader’s move was really beautiful!”
“Worthy of being a Second-tier Winter Knight! Our team leader is almost Third-tier, right?”
The captain of the guards roared, “Quiet!”
He stared intently at the armor he had frozen.
Logically speaking, hit by his strike, unless the person inside the armor also had the strength of a Second-tier sublimated person, they shouldn’t be able to muster enough strength to break the ice, a pressure exerted from the Tier of internal Yuan Su.
The weak handling an Essence Power suit are still weak in the end.
Of course, a sublimated person with Second-tier capabilities wouldn’t be frozen so easily by him either.
But how to put it, the controller inside the armor had too poor a sense of battle and fighting qualities.
Poor as though they had never undergone systematic battle training.
Isn’t that a joke?
How did someone without any battle training get their hands on a functioning mechanical suit?
The captain of the guards felt his heart ignite with anticipation.
Regardless of whether he could keep this mechanical suit, just capturing this person with thoughts of rebellion, he would have contributed a great merit.
Combined with his previously accumulated wealth and exploited materials, could he possibly exchange them for enough resources to step into the Third-tier, truly become a Winter Knight, and from there enter the power circle of Winter City?
Many Mutant Patients in the settlement were frightened, dared not show their faces, while only a few individuals stood outside.
Lek watched incredulously at the armor that was frozen in the distance.
Wasn’t that the big iron shell Elderly Alte from the craftsmen’s workshop had given to Wei’er and the others?
Hadn’t it been said it had lost its power core long ago?
Who’s controlling it inside?
If Elderly Alte were here, he surely would’ve known something, but the elder had always been in contact with the city and had left their group early on, now his whereabouts unknown.
Lek clenched his fists again.
Actually, ever since that young man suddenly rushed out wanting to stop the guards from continuing to beat the mother and daughter, Lek’s heart had been in turmoil.
Isn’t that young man a pure-blood human?
Why would he intervene for Mutant Patients?
And the person inside the suit.
Lek thought of the young man by Wei’er’s side.
Could it be him?
They could have ignored it all, just like Lek’s previous choices, full of anger but not daring to speak, pathetically hiding in a corner, watching, hoping such things wouldn’t happen to himself.
Under such thoughts, he was filled with some anticipation, hoping for a miracle to happen.
But this thread of hope was soon cruelly shattered by the cold reality.
How many miracles could there be in this world?
“There really are no miracles,” murmured the burly Bear man, looking down and sighing softly.
“You can’t say that,” someone sang softly beside him, “Miracles do exist.”
Lek quickly turned his head.
An elderly man with white hair, bird feathers adorning both sides of his head, had unknowingly landed beside him.
Lek said in astonishment, “Mr. Alte, hadn’t you left already?”
“I had a cup of tea with an old friend I knew from before and wanted to ask him to give us a hand so we could have a better couple of days. But I never expected such an incident to occur.”
The elder glanced at the encapsulated armor, his eyes flickering, and said softly, “So-called miracles, one interpretation is the ability to turn death into life, like us craftsmen who endow mechanical devices with spirit. If he can make a suit that has lost its power move again, what else but a miracle is that?”
Lek’s lips moved slightly, “But the miracle I spoke of isn’t…”
“The kind of miracle you want requires striving for it yourself,” the old man patted Lek’s shoulder and sighed, “Merely wishing for the mercy and charity of others, in the end, we return to the starting point. Even if a ‘miracle’ helps you temporarily, for how long can it assist you?”

Luo Xi shifted his body.
Squeak, squeak—
Heck, frozen solid.
His body inside the cockpit could still barely move, but the extended mechanical body was completely immobilized.
It was then Luo Xi realized that he was lacking in many aspects of fighting, or to put it another way, he had insufficient understanding of the various abilities in this world. The opponent had merely used a simple evasive move combined with a control skill, and he was trapped in a state where he couldn’t move an inch.
Well, it looks like I’ve screwed up.
To think he had wanted to laugh at Chu Tian for going up only to feed, yet after only two exchanges, he himself was going to be done for.
Luo Xi leaned back, waiting for his death and preparing to use Moonflow to rewind afterward.
‘Zzzt—zzzt—zzzt—m—master—’
Suddenly, a noise like static appeared by his ear.
‘Master… zzzt—’
Before Luo Xi’s eyes, a cluster of golden light appeared, and a barrage of chaotic voices began to emerge.
“?”
Luo Xi had a feeling something incredible was about to happen.
Then, the static noise began to clear up, turning gradually crisp and smooth, sounding gentle and mild, somewhat reminiscent of the AI synthesized voices of virtual singers like Miku and Tianyi in reality.
