The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 653: Chapter 653: If it doesn’t work once, I’ll try again!_1

Carson Flores flew through the air on his sword, gradually feeling the air turn biting cold.

The continuous mountain range ahead appeared covered in snow, presenting a vast expanse of whiteness.

The Profound Ice Mountain Range.

This was Carson’s destination; he had come here to seek out the Snow Dragon Leopard that inhabited the Profound Ice Mountains and recharge the Water-Fire Mirror.

The Snow Dragon Leopard’s most proficient attack was transforming Spiritual Energy into Cold Ice Energy, which wasn’t merely cold to the touch, but possessed the terrifying power to instantly encase its victims in ice, extinguishing their life force in an instant.

If Carson didn’t have the Water-Fire Mirror, facing such a creature that not only had wings but also moved with incredible speed would be extremely dangerous. However, with the Water-Fire Mirror, dealing with beasts proficient in ice or fire spells was easy and enjoyable.

In the past, whenever the Water-Fire Sage needed to recharge the Water-Fire Mirror, he would seek out such powerful demons skilled in water and fire spells, provoke them into attack, and then use the Water-Fire Mirror to absorb their attacks, converting them into Spiritual Energy to be stored inside. The more energy stored, the greater the power when unleashed.

The Water-Fire Mirror was miraculous in that the amount of energy it could store was unpredictable. The Water-Fire Sage became famous in the Cultivation Realm by using the accumulated Spiritual Energy in the mirror to unleash attacks far beyond his own capabilities, slaying stronger enemies several ranks above him.

As incredible and almost comical as it sounds, this method was indeed direct and effective, as a single spell attack from a powerful demon beast could unleash a colossal amount of Spiritual Energy.

After crossing several mountain peaks, Carson found a Snow Dragon Leopard as big as an elephant, with wings on its back.

The Snow Dragon Leopard’s body emitted a strange luster like ice crystals as it sauntered leisurely through the valley. The moment Carson entered its territory, it sensed him.

The Snow Dragon Leopard raised its head, its massive pupils displaying cold indifference and brutality. Its wings gently flapped twice, as if preparing to ascend and hunt Carson.

Carson dove down proactively, donning the Black Tortoise Shield in the process and taking out the Water-Fire Mirror.

A Spirit Art cast upon the Water-Fire Mirror seemed to awaken it from its inert state; one side shimmered with water, mist rising, while the other flickered with fire, as if flames could burst forth at any moment.

The Snow Dragon Leopard, seeing Carson diving down, raised its head and let out a low roar in his direction.

Boundless Spiritual Energy surged like a raging river, and space itself seemed to create an invisible black hole that voraciously consumed the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

The Spiritual Energy converging into this invisible black hole quickly transformed into endless Cold Ice Energy, instantly forming an Ice Storm that shot rapidly towards Carson as he descended.

No sooner had the Ice Storm formed than the surrounding air seemed to drop in temperature by dozens of degrees. The trees, already covered in snow, were instantly encased in solid ice, transformed into statuesque ice sculptures.

Carson’s heart was tight with tension. Although he had run experiments before, this was his first time facing such a formidable opponent, and any mishandling could have been fatal.

Carson flipped the Water-Fire Mirror so that the Water Mirror faced the oncoming Ice Storm, and he began controlling the mirror to activate it.

In what seemed like a hundredth of a second, all the Runes on the Water Mirror side lit up. A deep blue radiance burst from the Water Mirror, extending out like a massive funnel of light, entirely enveloping the space in front of Carson.

The Ice Storm arrived instantly, striking the light funnel, and immediately rushed down the funnel towards its end—the surface of the Water Mirror.

Upon contact with the Ultra-Cold Ice Storm, the mirror’s surface appeared to become ethereal for a moment, like a gentle ripple in water.

The ferocity of the Ice Storm surged through the ripple and, like a clay ox entering the ocean, disappeared instantly. The water-blue color of the Water Mirror seemed to deepen by just a shade.

Success!

Carson felt exhilarated; the Water-Fire Mirror was indeed awesome!

This adult Snow Dragon Leopard’s strength was at least at the Golden Core Realm; logically, he should have had a tough time dealing with it, but because of the Water-Fire Mirror, everything was so effortless.

The Snow Dragon Leopard was baffled.

Why wasn’t this happening as it had imagined?

How could that human not have become an ice sculpture? How could he still be jumping around alive?

The Snow Dragon Leopard couldn’t figure it out, so it decided to try again.

By now, Carson was no longer nervous. He activated the Water Mirror again, easily absorbing the terrifyingly powerful Ice Storm.

The Snow Dragon Leopard became furious!

Again!

Once!

Twice!

Thrice!

...

The Snow Dragon Leopard had no idea how many times it had attacked, but all its attacks had disappeared without a trace, just like clay oxen into the ocean. The Water Mirror was like a glutton, swallowing up all the Spiritual Energy attacks, and besides the water light deepening by a shade, there was no other anomaly.

The power of the Ice Storm grew weaker with each attempt, and finally, the Snow Dragon Leopard’s Spiritual Energy was completely depleted,

Although the Snow Dragon Leopard possessed a strong physique, it wasn’t accustomed to close-quarter physical combat, so it neatly turned tail and fled.

The human before it instilled an inexplicable terror!

Carson, having noticed the Snow Dragon Leopard’s weakness, saw it trying to flee. He flipped the Water-Fire Mirror so that the Fire Mirror faced the escaping beast and cast down a spell.

Infinite rays of firelight engulfed the Fire Mirror, brightening the sky!

Countless fiery red dots surged out, instantly converging into a gigantic semi-circular Fire Blade about ten meters tall, which shot out towards the Snow Dragon Leopard.
