Crypto Gold in Fairy Tail

Chapter 16: Reign over the Frosted Heavens



Night falls quietly, and the fruit farmers rest early after a busy day.

Of course, this is also what Arden requires.

After all, they are ordinary people. To put it bluntly, not only can they not help, but they may also get in the way.

The opponent only has one lizard man so he can do it alone.

Arden sat on the tallest fruit tree, looking at the lake in the distance, and on his lap was a tachi that exuded a chill.

The moonlight was bright, Arden yawned and waited silently.

The surroundings are quiet at the moment. If there is any slightest movement, Arden will be able to detect it immediately.

"Wow..."

Suddenly, just as the moon was high in the center of the sky, Arden's ears heard a crisp and sudden sound of water breaking. The sound broke the tranquility of the night and made his heart tighten.

Arden quickly stood up without hesitation, standing firmly at the fork of the branches, staring sharply at the water in the distance.

I saw layers of fine ripples rippling on the surface of the water.

They seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, sweeping towards the orchard at an alarming speed.

These ripples do not appear to be natural but are caused by waves caused by an unknown object moving through the water. Arden couldn't help but feel vigilant. He stared closely at the approaching water patterns, trying to catch any clues. As time passed, the ripples grew closer and larger.

"Come to daddy..!"

With a thought, Arden's black hair turned to gold, and a pair of white dog ears poked out.

The next moment, a jutsu kunai shot toward the water.

The sudden attack alerted the underwater creatures, and a huge wave suddenly rushed toward the kunai.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a sound breaking through the air, and Arden appeared next to Kunai. Looking at the huge waves, he unsheathed his sword and suddenly slashed it out.

"Wind Blast!"

The wind roared like a ferocious beast, roaring with its teeth and claws. And this powerful hurricane was also mixed with a biting chill, which seemed to penetrate the bone marrow.

At this moment, a huge wave collided head-on with the hurricane.

In an instant, the originally turbulent waves were frozen into hard ice! Immediately afterward, this huge ice sculpture was ruthlessly torn into countless tiny ice shards by the hurricane, which scattered down one after another, like a feast of ice and snow.

These ice shards are flying in the air, shining with cold light, giving people a dreamlike feeling. They are intertwined with the strong wind, forming a spectacular and mysterious picture.

"Crack."

Arden landed on the water but did not sink. Looking under the water, Arden sneered and said, "Want to run?"

The next moment, the kunai was shot out, and Arden blocked the opponent's attempt to run.

"Reign over the Frosted Heavens: Hyōrinmaru!"

After the beginning, there was a chain with a half-moon shape at the end behind the hilt of the Hyōrinmaru sword, and the entire tachi was wrapped by an ice dragon.

"Come out!"

With a slash of the knife, the ice dragon roared and rushed into the water. The entire lake cooled down rapidly from the ice dragon, and the lake water quickly condensed around it.

"boom!"

The water surface exploded, and a large dark green lizard rushed out and landed on the ice.

The lizard-men are humanoid in shape, and their scales are extremely defensive. They also can resist water. They are extremely difficult to deal with in places with water sources.

but...

The entire lake is freezing rapidly. Arden doesn't believe that he can still mobilize the lake water to attack!

"Hiha!"

The lizard man roared at Arden and suddenly rushed towards Arden, with water surging above his claws.

"Well done!"

Arden drew his knife, and the ice dragon roared and rushed towards the lizard man.

The lizard man's vertical pupils shrank rapidly, his legs suddenly squatted down, and he used the slippery surface of the ice to glide while grabbing the ice dragon with his claws. The sharp water blade was like a blade, leaving deep scratches on the ice dragon's body.

Arden looked at the approaching lizard man, sneered, turned the blade, and an ice wall blocked his face.

The lizard man's other claw collided with the ice wall, leaving deep scratches on it, but it did not break the defense.

The next moment, the hurricane roared, and the terrifying wind injury set off strong winds, directly shattering the ice wall in front of it. The hurricane, mixed with a large amount of broken ice, suddenly slashed at the lizard man.

The lizard man hurriedly put his arms to protect the vital parts of his head. However, it was too late. The extremely powerful hurricane smashed into it with countless broken ice.

These pieces of ice were like sharp ice knives that shone with cold light, mercilessly cutting through the hard scales of the lizard men. In an instant, the lizard man felt a sharp pain coming over him, and the scales on his body flew everywhere like leaves blown away by the strong wind.

At the same time, the lizard man was also hit by the huge impact and flew dozens of meters away, falling heavily to the ground.

Although the lizardman looks a little miserable, it only has to pay some scales to block the wind damage. It is proud enough!

"Hiha!"

The lizard man roared, swung out his claws, and slashed at Arden's head with several water blades.

"Hyōrinmaru."

Hyōrinmaru slashed out, and the place where the tip of the knife crossed completely turned into a frozen area.

The water blades entered it and turned into ice lumps one after another, losing kinetic energy and falling down.

But this was not the lizard man's attack, but his interference. While Arden was dealing with the waterblade, he took the opportunity to distance himself and ran away like crazy.

"Shadow cloneJutsu."

Three figures rushed out, and the kunai pierced the ice as fast as lightning. The three figures blocked the lizard man's retreat.

The lizard man roared again, but in his voice, there was already an aura of lust and inner lust.

"It doesn't feel too strong. I think even Erza can handle it easily."

Arden chased after him, the ice dragon roared and roared directly toward the lizard man.

Just when the ice dragon was about to devour the lizard man, a water blade suddenly slashed out from under the ice. The ice dragon was cut off without noticing for a moment.

"There's more of you?"

Looking at the same water blade as the lizard man, Arden retreated violently, while the clone held the Rasengan in his hand and suddenly blasted it towards the slashing point!

"boom!"

The ice exploded instantly, and a huge lizardman that was more than three times the size of the previous lizardman rushed out.

The opponent opened his mouth, and a huge water column swept across, and the three clones were directly beaten into smoke.

"That's right. I said the commission is worth 200,000 J. Why are the lizard men so weak?"

Looking at the giant lizard man's swollen chest, he immediately understood that they were a mother and son.

but...

Arden flicked Hyōrinmaru suddenly and laughed: "I like to see if defeating you will allow me to level up!"

The next moment, Arden disappeared from the same place, and when he reappeared, he was already in his previous clone.

Hyōrinmaru slashed out, and the hurricane caused by Wind Damage slashed towards the two lizardmen, large and small.

The large lizard man protected his child, and the wind wound struck her body, making a series of sounds, but did not break through her scales.

"Tough enough, what about this move!"

The art kunai was shot out, and when it reappeared, Arden hit the large lizard man with a Rasengan.

"boom!"

The large lizard man was blown away. It was obvious that compared to the wind injury that caused group damage, the single-target Rasengan was stronger!

The scales on the large lizard man exploded, and blood continued to flow.

The small lizard man roared and kept throwing water blades to attack Rasengan.

"Die."

 Rasengan suddenly swung the ice bullet, and countless ice bullets attacked the small lizard man like a flock of birds.

"Roar!!!"

The huge lizard men let out a deafening roar, but that didn't change anything. The cold and biting ice bullets flew away like bullets, easily penetrated the waterblade, and mercilessly smashed into the body of the small lizard man.

The small lizard man was horrified and his face turned pale. He tried to escape or resist, but it was too late. The ice bullet hit it mercilessly, instantly freezing it into a crystal-clear ice sculpture.

Immediately afterward, a weak vibration spread quietly, and subtle cracks began to appear throughout the ice sculpture.

These cracks were very small at first, but spread quickly in the blink of an eye, covering the ice sculpture like a spider web.

Accompanied by a crisp "click" sound, the cracks suddenly intensified and eventually evolved into an earth-shattering fragmentation.

In an instant, countless ice cubes flew everywhere, like a grand ice and snow carnival. The ice sculpture completely disintegrated and turned into ice shards flying in the sky, falling one after another. This scene is both beautiful and cruel, revealing a sense of indescribable poignancy.

"Roar!!!"

His child died in front of him, and the large lizard man went crazy and attacked Arden desperately.

"I feel sorry for you, but this is work."

Looking at the other party's appearance, even though the species was different, Arden was also touched.

"So, let me give you peace."

The disorganized lizard man is no longer Arden's opponent now!

With a flash of his body, Arden disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, Hyōrinmaru flashed past the lizard man's neck.

The lizard man froze on the spot and then fell to the ground unwillingly.
