Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods! - Chapter 528

Chapter 528: Chapter84-The Third Princess Explodes!
A tier-diamond mage skill—no matter the faction—was incredibly precious.

If the third princess really handed it over, how would it be divided among so many people? That was indeed a real problem.

When that moment came, this seemingly united group would instantly turn on each other.

So even though they all knew Alan was deliberately sowing discord, they silently distanced themselves from one another, wary.

Just then, Beatrice shot a cold glance at Alan and said:

“Everyone, these two are as cunning as foxes. Let’s capture them first!”

The others nodded in agreement.

They still remembered clearly how Alan had toyed with them earlier.

In an instant, all their auras locked onto Alan and the third princess like a dark, oppressive tide.

These people were the top prodigies of their respective factions, and with them joining forces, Alan and the third princess felt like mountains had descended upon their shoulders.

Alan glanced at the charging crowd and quickly said, “Third Princess, you go first—I’ll hold them off!”

But before he could finish, the third princess suddenly stepped forward. Her sharp gaze swept across the crowd, and her voice, cold as a winter wind, rang out:

“You’ve forced this on me!”

The crowd sneered. They had the numbers—no matter how strong she was, she wouldn’t be able to escape their net.

Today, neither of them would leave alive.

But just as that thought crossed their minds, they felt a chilling mist begin to rise from the third princess’s body.

The moment it touched them, thick layers of frost rapidly formed on their skin. The piercing cold made them shiver uncontrollably.

“What terrifying energy fluctuations… Could this be that tier-diamond magic skill?!”

The same thought echoed in everyone’s minds as frost began crystallizing on their bodies.

The aura emanating from the third princess made them feel a deep and imminent danger—something only a tier-diamond magic skill could produce.

Whoosh!

Just as they tried to speed up and stop her, the third princess plunged her long blade into the ground.

“Frozen Winter!”

Crystalline ice rapidly grew from the blade’s surface, spreading across the earth and radiating outward in all directions.

In an instant, the ground froze with a thick layer of ice nearly half a meter deep. Even the vegetation it touched became lifeless ice sculptures.

Beatrice, who was charging ahead, was the first to be struck by the wave of cold. She was forced back, ice crystals forming all over her body, until she was sealed in a block of ice like a frozen amber.

The other mages rushing toward the third princess were no exception—each was turned into a motionless ice statue!

Alan stared at the sudden eruption of power from the third princess in awe.

So this is the terror of a tier-diamond mage skill?!

No wonder so many were willing to stop at nothing to claim it. With just one move, it had frozen all these top-tier prodigies in place!

If the third princess had mastered this skill more thoroughly, these people might not just have been frozen—they might’ve died outright!

Alan couldn’t help but exclaim, “Amazing—my Third Princess!”

Still kneeling, hand clutching the frozen blade, the third princess replied in a hoarse and weak voice:

“Go! With my current strength, I can only use this one attack—it won’t hold them for long!”

Alan nodded repeatedly.

He could already feel that the magical elements were surging within the frozen figures. Cracks had begun to form across the ice—the freeze wouldn’t last.

But just as he turned to leave, he realized the third princess wasn’t moving.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. “I’ve used too much magic and suffered backlash… I can’t move.”

Alan quickly hoisted her onto his back and rushed away from the scene.

Not long after they left, the ice before Beatrice began to creak.

Dense cracks spread across the frozen block like shattered porcelain, and with a burst of expanding magical energy from within, the ice exploded into shards.

One by one, the other frozen prodigies also broke free, their bodies still trembling from the cold.

“Damn it! They got away!”

The woman in the red dress bit her lip hard. Flames surged from her body, driving away the cold as she took off in pursuit.

The others followed suit.

Having personally experienced the might of the tier-diamond skill, their desire to possess it had reached a fever pitch.

Just a crude casting of it by the third princess—who was only at tier-gold—had such devastating power.

If they could fully master it, none of their peers could rival them!

…

After bursting through the portal of light and arriving on the island in the middle of the lake, Alan scanned the surroundings, then dashed toward a rugged mountain range.

That area was far from Ironblood City, full of towering trees and rugged terrain—perfect for hiding.

As a magus, Alan had an enhanced sense of his surroundings, allowing him to avoid danger more effectively.

After half an hour of sprinting and finally reaching the deep woods, he followed a riverbank, though the pain in his back kept worsening.

Seeing a wild boar scratching against a tree up ahead, Alan suddenly had an idea.

He set the third princess down by the riverbank, then used earth element magic to restrain the boar.

Next, he took off his bloodstained shirt and tied it to the boar’s back.

The boar, unaware of Alan’s plan, struggled wildly. Alan released the restraint and gave it a solid kick.

With a howl of pain, the boar took off charging wildly in the direction they’d come from.

Then, without hesitation, Alan turned to the third princess and dove into the river, pulling her into the water with him. They ducked into a dense patch of aquatic plants, submerged beneath the rushing current.

From above, the vegetation was so thick and the current so fast, it was impossible to see where they were hiding.

Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed nearby.

Alan instinctively gripped his staff-sword tighter.

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out: “The blood trail is up ahead—after it!”

The pursuers quickly rushed past.

Alan didn’t emerge right away. He waited patiently until he was absolutely sure they were gone. Then he turned to the third princess.

Her lips were pale, and the magic inside her body was in disarray. Her limbs had grown stiff.

Clearly, using a magic skill far beyond her current tier had taken a heavy toll.

She had no combat ability left.

“You’re really experienced with this kind of thing… have you been hunted down before?”

The third princess suddenly opened her eyes, looking seriously at Alan.

Even if she had been in charge, she couldn’t have handled the situation better than he had.

Alan twitched his mouth awkwardly. That… wasn’t the point! Shouldn’t she be praising him for being clever, calm under pressure?

The third princess continued, “The backlash from the skill is severe. I’ll need two days to recover.”

Alan’s face darkened slightly.

Two days might not seem long, but with so many people searching for them, it could be a death sentence if they were discovered.

As Alan began to feel frustrated, the third princess shifted slightly in his arms.

That small movement, combined with her soaked clothes clinging to her body like a second skin, made her appear almost completely transparent.

Her soft skin brushed against Alan, and he immediately felt his body heating up.

As expected of a hot-blooded young man—especially with someone as beautiful as the third princess in such an intimate position—his body reacted on its own.

And, unfortunately, that reaction was pressing against a particularly sensitive part of the princess.

At first, she didn’t notice, but after shifting again and feeling the change, her eyes widened. She turned to stare at Alan.

Alan looked mortified. “I-I swear I didn’t mean to!”

He had never been close to a woman before. Faced with someone like the third princess, it was a miracle he’d lasted this long.

If he hadn’t reacted… now that would’ve been unnatural.

Time passed quickly.

Two hours later, as dusk settled over the land, Alan emerged from the river with the third princess still on his back.

He didn’t head toward Ironblood City.

Instead, he made straight for the secret realm.
