After moving a bit, the creature suddenly raised its head and looked around itself.
It lazily looked around at first, but then it suddenly opened its eyes that had still been filled with drowsiness.
As soon as its eyes opened wide, it started sniffing the air as if it had suddenly noticed something. It kept sniffing the air around itself until it finally turned right in Lin Fan’s direction, or rather the pile of corpses right in front of Lin Fan.
Lin Fan waited for a few seconds to see if it would turn away, but it continued staring right in his direction which told him that he had been noticed.
He never expected that this creature would have such a good sense of smell, being able to smell him through all of these corpses and the blood scattered all over.
Since he had been found, he knew that there was nothing that he could do about it. The only thing that he could do was face this creature head on and see how he would handle it based on how it reacted.
So with a single thought and a flick of the hand, there was an ice wall that suddenly appeared in front of the only exit to the cave.
The creature on the pile of bones was shocked to see this wall of ice that suddenly appeared, but it didn’t stay surprised for long as it knew that there was someone here. So it fell onto four limbs and then jumped off the pile of bones.
Lin Fan was surprised to see how nimble this creature was as it jumped from the bone pile onto the walls of the cave. He was also surprised to see how sharp the claws of this creature were as they pierced right into the walls, allowing the creature to stick right to the walls without falling off.
After sticking to the wall, it started running against the edges of the cave, heading towards Lin Fan.
Lin Fan knew that he couldn’t let it get closer. This thing hadn’t attacked him from afar, so it was clear that it was a creature that only had close range physical attacks.
Since that was the case, it was best for him to keep it as far away as possible from himself and slowly wear it down with long range attacks.
So with a wave of his hand, there were flames and icicles that appeared all around him.
This was a new technique that he had just figured out which he had never used before since it was too hard to control the clashing elements of fire and ice, but after getting the Magic Manipulation Skill, he was able to better control his fire and ice elemental energy. This allowed him to combine the powers of fire and ice to create an even more powerful attack.
The flames wrapped around the icicles before they flew out at the creature that was running along the walls.
The creature was able to dodge the first few attacks, but as more and more icicles rained down on it, it had no choice but to jump off the wall that it had been clinging to. It was like a wall of flaming icicles that it couldn’t get through at all.
It knew that it couldn’t face the flaming icicles head on, so it had no choice but to dodge.
But the creature didn’t give up after jumping onto the roof.
The creature started running from the roof down towards where Lin Fan was currently standing, but Lin Fan didn’t give it a chance to go far.
He shot another volley of flaming icicles right at the creature running at him and once again, the creature was forced to jump off the roof and cling to one of the walls on the side. This time, it clinged to the wall on the opposite side of where it had been before because there were still flaming icicles sticking out of the wall that it had been on before.
However, Lin Fan had been prepared for this already.
While he had been shooting flaming icicles at the creature, he had also been forming flaming icicles that he kept near himself. He always created more flaming icicles than he shot at the creature, so there were extras that were currently around him.
He shot these flaming icicles at the creature the moment that it landed so it didn’t have a chance to react at all, but to his surprise, the creature was still able to react. As soon as the creature landed on the wall, it immediately pushed off again and jumped to the complete opposite side of the cave of Lin Fan.
This was the only place that was left for it to run, so it had no choice but to go there.
However, once again, Lin Fan had already planned for this. The moment that the creature landed on that wall, it was completely surrounded by flaming icicles.
But this time, Lin Fan didn’t send flaming icicles at the creature right away. All he did was have them floating in the air all around the creature, as if he was telling the creature that he could kill it at any moment.
The creature knew that it was in a bad position and didn’t move right away as it looked at the various flaming icicles around it.
Seeing this, Lin Fan tried saying, “Can we stop here? I just want to talk if possible.”
He knew that it was very unlikely that this would work since the Appraisal Eyes had already told him that this thing had limited intelligence. However, he wanted to capture it and if he could talk to it, that would be even better.
Not to mention that there was nothing to lose for him to try communicating with this creature, so he decided to give it a try.
“Roar!”
That was the only response that he received from this creature.
After this roar, the creature didn’t care about the pain and decided to go all out against Lin Fan. It could see that if it didn’t do anything, it would be finished, so it decided to charge at the flaming icicles and use its body to tank through it.
It was just too bad that Lin Fan didn’t give it that chance.
The moment that Lin Fan saw what the creature was planning, he waved his hand as soon as the creature jumped from the wall and four walls of ice appeared around the creature. The creature saw these walls appear and it immediately raised its claws to attack the ice wall right in front of it.
The moment that the claws of the creature made contact with the wall, it suddenly stopped moving forward. It was as if all the force that it was moving forward with had been absorbed.
The ice wall that was hit by the claw suddenly started to glow as if something had been triggered. This glowing lasted half a second before a force was suddenly released from the ice wall that was stronger than the force that had been absorbed.
The creature was immediately sent flying by this force that had been rebounded and at the same time, there was a layer of frost that appeared on its body.
As it was sent flying, it went flying straight backwards until it slammed into the ice wall that was behind it.
When it hit the ice wall behind it, it suddenly stopped just like before as all of the force that had sent it flying was negated. The ice mirror that it hit also lit up for half a second before it was sent flying again.
This time, the layer of frost around it became even thicker and whiter.
This creature was just bounced around inside of four mirrors again and again, being rebounded back and forth between them.
Finally, after bouncing more than twenty times, it finally landed on the ground completely covered in white from the frost that covered it. At the same time, it created a large crater on the ground from the amount of force that it was thrown with.
If its first attack hadn’t hit the ice mirror at an angle, then perhaps it would have been rebounded again and again between the four mirrors until it was completely frozen. But with the angle that it had hit it at, it eventually reached a point where the creature didn’t hit another mirror and instead was bounced into the ground.
There was also the chance that it would have been able to bounce up into the sky where there was another opening, but Lin Fan had taken care of that. He had put another ice mirror up there, so even if it had bounced up there, it would have been rebounded into the ground anyway.
Once the creature was sent flying into the ground, Lin Fan finally released the ice mirrors that were around it.
The creature saw these ice walls disappear and wanted to make a move to escape, but it found that it could hardly move its body. It was as if every part of it was stuck and it was very difficult to make it even move.
That was the effect of the frost that surrounded this creature.
But it wasn’t just that that stopped it.
While the creature had been bouncing around inside of the ice walls, Lin Fan had already created a bunch of flaming icicles around the walls that only revealed themselves when the ice walls dropped.
The creature was completely surrounded by these flaming icicles and there was nowhere for it to run.
