Chapter 2241 Leveling up to Duke
Ice Blue Knight King reached his hand out and pulled Han Sen’s frozen form through the sky toward him.
Seeing that Han Sen was about to get sucked into Ice Blue Knight King’s hands, the previously-frozen Bao’er suddenly moved. She pounded the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum repeatedly.
A shockwave shot out to batter Ice Blue Knight King’s head. They were at extremely close range, and Ice Blue Knight King had relaxed his defenses. The Knight King’s face didn’t change, though. His body flashed blue and deflected the sonic forces that came against him.
When Han Sen saw the acoustic force of the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum fail to make a dent, he immediately flapped his wings to get the hell out of there. He cast Jadeskin first, then made use of Break Space Flash.
Other powers might have been able to trap Han Sen, but luckily, the Knight King had attempted to trap him with cold. A power like that didn’t stand a chance of holding Han Sen against his will.
He had spent a long time practicing Jadeskin near that jade toad. Even deified cold powers couldn’t harm Han Sen in the least. Ice Blue Knight King had a fierce cold power, but he wasn’t in the same league as the jade toad. He was unable to trap Han Sen in that wintery grip.
Han Sen had planned to slip away from the Knight King after Bao’er dazed him, but he hadn’t expected the sonic forces to fail when employed at such a close distance.
Ice Blue Knight King looked very surprised that a Marquise was able to block his Ice Blue powers, though. That was completely unexpected.
Han Sen kept teleporting, but Break Space Flash came from the dragon wing gene. He didn’t have the ability himself, so there were limits to his use of the skill. He would show up somewhere and then teleport away again. Even so, he was incredibly fast. Ordinary Dukes couldn’t keep up with Han Sen if they were moving at full speed, that much was certain. But against someone like Ice Blue Knight King, that speed wasn’t enough to maintain a lead.
Ice Blue Knight King smiled. “You truly are Knife’s student. You can escape my Ice Blue power. In that case, try to repel my Deep Blue Abyss.”
After that, Ice Blue Knight King moved. The Ice Blue colors suddenly deepened to a navy blue. It was like a demon that could swallow the earth was now coming for Han Sen.
Han Sen kept teleporting around, but he still couldn’t escape that rapidly approaching navy blue color. As he rose high into the air, the power condensed into a navy blue crystal around him.
Ice Blue Knight King moved slowly toward the frozen Han Sen. “For Knife’s sake, I won’t kill you. But you will have to hand the item over. If you give it back, then I will pretend nothing happened. And the reward you are owed will still be yours to claim.”
Ice Blue Knight King moved close enough to touch the blue crystal. Just as he reached out his hand, however, his face warped.
A jade power was spreading inside that blue crystal, and the crystal itself was starting to crack.
Ice Blue Knight King was shocked. His blue powers weren’t just cold powers; they also had sealing effects. But it looked like even those powers couldn’t trap Han Sen.
Han Sen’s body was running Jadeskin at full strength. His Jadeskin had been on the verge of becoming Duke, and under the pressure of the Deep Blue power, it finally achieved the breakthrough it needed.
Jadeskin power spread all across Han Sen’s body. His flesh had been red because of the Blood-Pulse Sutra, but it suddenly changed to look like ocean ice. Han Sen’s entire body seemed like it had been made from crystal.
It was so pure and elegant; he didn’t look human at all.
The angelic power he received from Little Angel had imbued Han Sen with a pure energy. It changed along with Han Sen’s breakthrough and was transferred into Jadeskin energy. It pushed Han Sen’s body to become Duke.
Marquises could develop skills for the element they were associated with. When they became Dukes, those skills would change. Dukes combined more completely with their element, which allowed them to use it more fully.
That pure element touched the edge of the rule. It wasn’t quite like the power of a King, which could be used to directly affect an enemy without the activation of a skill. It did, however, provide a nice power increase.
Han Sen didn’t know what element Jadeskin belonged to. It might have possessed some icy powers, but it wasn’t completely ice-bound.
Boom!
Defying the sealing powers placed on him, Han Sen moved. The blue crystal that had trapped him cracked. Han Sen flapped his wings and teleported again. This time, he did so much faster.
Ice Blue Knight King was stunned. He waved his hand and sent more of that Deep Blue power after Han Sen. The Knight King tried to drown Han Sen with it as he attempted to flee.
The next second, Han Sen was rushing out of the blue. He shrugged off the sealing powers without difficulty.
“Ice Blue Knight King’s Deep Blue power was unable to seal him. It looks like his elemental associations are strong, and he has a high resistance to sealing powers.” Edward’s gaze was disturbingly intense.
When Han Sen was trapped by the Deep Blue power, Edward had planned to help Han Sen escape.
But Han Sen had managed to get out by himself before Edward could take action. Han Sen had broken Ice Blue Knight King’s Deep Blue power using his own strength.
“Ice Blue Knight King has struck twice now, and still, he hasn’t been able to stop Han Sen. No wonder Night River King failed to kill this maniac. You are right. He is a scary guy!” The Ice Blue Knight seemed unsettled.
The Knight King continued his attack, but Han Sen kept sliding out from under that Deep Blue Abyss. The Deep Blue powers couldn’t stop him.
Han Sen felt as if his body had been crystallized. He couldn’t release any energy, but the powers launched against him couldn’t penetrate his body, either.
It felt very weird, and it reminded him of a time before he started practicing geno arts. He could only use his own physical strength, and he was unable to unleash energy.
But his body was stronger than ever; that much was certain. It gave him the illusion that he could break everything in front of him with his raw strength.
Ice Blue Knight King, watching Han Sen slide effortlessly out from under the Deep Blue Abyss, felt powerless and frustrated. He moved forward to catch up with Han Sen, gathering a frightening power as he went.
This wasn’t just an icy sealing power. This one possessed great destructive strength. Ice Blue Knight King looked serious, and Han Sen could see in his eyes that he had given up on the prospect of simply sealing him.
Dong!
Ice Blue Knight King’s power came slashing down on Han Sen, but a ghostly shield suddenly appeared to block his attack.
It was Han Sen’s only undamaged Demon Bug King Bai Sema: the one he had taken from Han Yan.
