I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

Neuj and Timon felt the subtle discomfort of constant teleportation as their figures, with their subordinates, appeared in a familiar open area.

They heaved slightly, stopping themselves from throwing up, their gazes scanning the surroundings as they processed the information in their brains.

"Lord Neuj, we seem to be in the Free Zone". Sora muttered, walking up to her master.

They were surrounded by rubble, demolished and incomplete buildings.

A few of the buildings had remained standing, despite the constant battles that wagered in this particular place.

It was a testament to its strong foundations, though that strength would be tested today.

Timon swung his greatSword over his head and placed it back in its sheath, a click resounding as it did so.

He glanced at Neuj, a scowl forming on his face.

"We should have attacked her the minute we had our chance. We made a blunder".

"We did not. We didn't expect the Blind Swordsman to escape from the Energy Binders".

"Those shitty things didn't do half the work I paid for". He clicked his tongue in annoyance, his gaze wavering around the area.

"We are here, but I do not see anyone".

Neuj sighed. "Neither do I". He turned back, towards Rafi, a knowing gaze written on his expression.

She nodded in acknowledgement and looked up, materializing a red orb. She broke it and a red light permeated the air, igniting and disappearing as soon as it came.

"An attention orb? You think calling more women will give us a better chance?"

In this world, there are five different kinds of orbs, Attack Orbs which contain elements, mana or aura for offensive attacks, Defense Orbs for creating domes of mana for protection, Escape/Return Orbs for escaping enemies, Memory Orbs for storing images and events and an Attention Orb, meant for calling aids and backups.

Neuj glanced at Timon, a disapproving gaze written on his face as he turned away.

"That shouldn't be our worry now. We are in trouble; we tried to sell the Blind Swordsman, but that didn't work. Now, he wants revenge".

"Revenge?".

Raph's voice pierced the air, grabbing their attention like a magnet as a cold chill crept up their spines.

Neuj and Timon glanced around, their subordinates doing the same as they searched for his figure.

"If the King isn't worth my revenge, what makes you think you are?"

It didn't take long before they looked up, and high in the skies was a boy with snowy white air that cascaded with the wind. Peerless, white eyes that bore through your very soul and a glowing, blue double-blade katana, exuding a malevolent hue.

He rode atop a fearless beast, a werewolf, with onyx fur the colour of the depths of darkness and crimson, glowing eyes, the shades of blood. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Their bodies flinched at the sight, their gazes widening in shock.

Neuj especially, found his mouth hanging open. Why? Well, maybe it was because Raph's appearance was a little too familiar.

"....Raffaelo Jun". His words came out like a whisper, but the people around him heard it loud and clear.

Timon found himself in a dilemma, shock evident in his bulging eyes on hearing the words omitted by Neuj.

"Neuj Rakarf and Timon Lukwood".

Their names being called out grabbed his attention once again, his gaze stretching up to the sky to find a black dot descending at a remarkable speed.

BOOM!

An explosion of snow and ice occurred, ice glaciers spreading across the ground like wildfire as Raph stood at the epicentre in all his icy glory.

A few feet away from him, a dome of light disintegrated, revealing the six figures, untouched by the cold, as Sora fell to her knees, heavy breaths escaping her lips.

"Good work, Sora". Timon said with a sigh as he walked out of the group, his great Sword held firmly across the air.

His steps were heavy but purposeful, a heavy-duty resting on his shoulders.

"So what if you're the son of the Jun household?" He asked, a cold chill emanating from his mouth as he did so.

The cold ice crept up his armour, forming a resistance that began to work its way in stopping his movement.

"I am Timon Lukwood. A level 100 Gladiator Knight!". A piercingly, undignified laughter spread through the air as his body jerked from the force of his laughter while it was forced to a halt by the ice.

Neuj sighed, a magic staff materializing on his arm.

"Girls, take Timon's soldier out of here, and don't come here till I ask you to".

He instructed, taking measured steps forward as well, but Rafi stopped him before he could go any further.

A tense silence descended between them, a gaze filled with hidden emotions tugging at Neuj as he pulled his arm away. "I will be back". He took a step on the icy floor, an invisible force stopping the ice from spreading across his leg.

"I must say…Raffaelo Jun, I thought I was the deceiver". He said, a heavy sigh escaping his lips. "It all makes sense why nothing went our way now….but it's too late to take back our decisions".

He stood next to Timon, stumping his magical staff on the icy floor while his gaze lingered on the ice. "You froze sand? What's worse, it's working perfectly well in a desert?". He scoffed. "What are you?"

Raph watched silently, a smirk forming on his lips as he pointed his blade forward.

"Come at me and find out".

He said when his gaze picked up something from Neuj. He raised his brow in surprise, but his attention was quickly cut off when a gush of mana suddenly exploded out of Timon's body, the sheer force causing a sudden eruption of sound as it shattered the ice that crept up his leg.

"We're level 100, don't you forget that".

"We will gladly come at you". Neuj said when mana suddenly erupted out of his body.

With a sudden burst of wind and space, the ground shattered as Timon suddenly appeared next to Raph, a sudden after-breeze carrying a destructive force crossing their paths.

He groaned slightly, slamming his great Sword like a guillotine downwards.

BOOM!

An explosion of power occurred but sadly, Timon's attack had not gone through.

He raised a brow as he glanced at Raph, his gaze furrowing in surprise when he noticed the struggle in his arms as he attempted to pull his sword but failed.

He cursed bitterly, his pride greatly wounded by Raph's careless display of power as he held the tip of his sword, but he seemed to have bought enough time.

"Master skill…"

Neuj appeared directly in front of Raph, a newfound power brewing within him as he pointed his staff towards him.

"Gravity shot".

A vibration of the earth occurred as a purple orb sparked to life at the tip of his staff, growing into a ferocious size that caused the air to sizzle with pressure at the intensity of its sheer intensity.

The ground shattered as it suddenly exploded forward towards Raph like a projectile, causing a sizzling vibration as it erupted into a mist of gravitational energy.

"impressive".

The air warped as Raph appeared above him, swinging his sword across the air as a crescent arc of ice trailed in its wake.

It slammed against the heavy pressure surrounding Neuj, who was suddenly slammed away by the force of the strike.

Neuj skidded across the ground, his body floating slightly above it as he maneuvered his body to regain momentum. His staff swung around as he did so until he finally stopped, barely touching the wall of an incomplete building.

At the same time, Timon growled as he swung his greatSword upwards towards Raph, who suddenly parried it to the side with his, spinning in the air and stretching his left hand to grab the back of Timon's armour as he landed behind him.

He pulled Timon upwards into the air, uprooting him from the ground with a swooping power and slammed him into the ground with a fierce thud. An eruption of power occurred as a crater formed, descending the two figures into the sandy soil.

Neuj hissed bitterly as he swung his staff and pointed it forward, vibrations occurring around him as the rubbles began to rise from their solid state.

"10th circle spell; Rock Plain Shots".@@novelbin@@

They spun rigorously, projecting towards Raph like rockets, the air whistling with the force of their movements.

Raph looked up as he slammed Timon to the other side of the ground, his sword, an extension of his arm, igniting in a pool of concentrated aura.

He swung it through the air, slicing one off and grabbed Timon upwards, slamming his figure into an incoming rock, its size twice as that of both of them combined.

Timon groaned in pain, as he was suddenly thrust into the ground again and slammed against another incoming boulder before he was suddenly swept into the air and flung towards Neuj with great precision.

He groaned, his body aching from the pain as his body crashed and spun on the ground, rising up as soon as he got next to Neuj.

"With me" Neuj instructed and charged forward without waiting for a reply.

He stretched his staff forward, twirling its tip around as purple balls of gravity sparked to life around him. It shot out towards Raph within the next second

"Master skill; Rapid Gravity shot".

Raph jumped out of the way of one, the mass of gravity crashing against the ground and causing a blast that erupted the sand into the sky.

His body became like a flowing dragon, skidding across the icy ground as he dodged, and spun out of the way of incoming mass of gravity. His gaze flicked towards Neuj, and a daring smirk formed on his lips as he swung his sword across the air.

"You can do better than that!"
