[Grade-3 Frost Magic: Hand of the Ice Dragon!]
Shin pointed his cane towards the sky and a gigantic magic circle appeared on the ceiling.
'I don't have much mana left; I can only cast one more grade-2 magic and I will run out of mana at that point…'
Although Shin looked composed and calm, he was having serious doubts in his mind.
He cast high-grade teleportation barriers on so many students, which cost him a vast amount of mana. Although his mana capacity was indeed huge, right now he has to fight a Grade-2 monster right now.
Fighting someone below your level is much easier and much less tricky than fighting someone at the same grade as you.
Moreover, Cyclops have an extremely strong physique compared to a human mage.
Thus, Shin has to always keep his barrier to the maximum output to avoid being hit by the massive body of the Cyclops.
…
Once the magic circle fully formed, it glowed brightly and a gigantic claw of a dragon appeared from the magic circle.
The mana in the air trembled from the mere presence of that condensed ice claw.
"Heh, let's see if you can keep up with this one!"
The Cyclops remained unfazed despite Shin's mockery.
[Great Giant's Blessing: Body of domination!]
The Cyclops, who has fought many wars and survived for over a century, was no small fry either.
The blood of fearsome Cyclops warriors ran through his veins; obviously, he had a few of his own techniques too.
Using the 'Blessing,' the Cyclops stared at Shin and said in a loud voice:
*I am the son of a Cyclops general, Upon my pride as a warrior, I must defeat you today, human!*
"Then come!"
The Cyclops raised its hand, punched with immense force and faced the giant frost claw's attack head-on.
*Baamm!*
The Cyclops's fist collided directly with the nails of that frost claw and an insanely strong shockwave was created from the collision of those gigantic forces.
Several of the monsters on the ground instantly became deaf as their eardrums burst apart from the impact of that shockwave.
And the weaker monster even fainted on the spot with blood dripping out of their ears.
The ground cracked and the air trembled, even the walls of the dungeon started to crack from the air pressure caused by that attack.
*Crack*
A huge crack appeared on Shin's mana barrier, Shin hurriedly focused his mana and healed that crack instantly before it could widen further.
*Step**Step*
Due to the impact caused by that ice claw, the Cyclops was forced to step back. Each of its steps seems to make the ground tremble.
*I admit! You are a strong human! But I will kill you today!*
The previous attack created a small wound on the hand of the Cyclops but it didn't hinder him much.
Ignoring its wounds, the giant rushed ahead and punched at the giant claw with tremendous force repeatedly.
*RRAAAAARRRRRGHHH!*
The ice claw was not unharmed either; the giant magic circle in the air started to crack little by little as the Cyclops kept attacking repeatedly.
The ice claw blocked all of the attacks and counter-attacked from various angles.
These back-and-forth attacks continued for ten seconds straight and in those ten seconds, the cyclops punched at the ice claw at least three hundred times without stopping and caring about counterattacking.
As the Cyclops wasn't focused on the counterattacks of the ice claw, he totally ignored its own defense and continued to attack without stopping.
Due to this, hundreds of claw marks appeared on his body and purple, acidic blood flowed out from his wounds.
The acidic blood fell on the ground and created large holes in the ground by dissolving the stones and rubble into mist.
…
Several of the students gathered outside the larger barrier on the upper floor and watched Shin fight with the Cyclops with concerned looks on their faces.
Seeing that purple blood corrode the ground like some kind of lethal acid caused them to feel Goosebumps.
The originally good situation seemed to have started to develop into a disadvantageous situation for Shin as the Cyclops kept causing his magic to break slowly.
The situation seemed to be getting unfavorable for Shin, but he still had a smile on his face as if he still had the plan to turn this dangerous situation in his favor.
*Crack!* *Shatter!*
After another five or so seconds of waiting, the ice claw finally couldn't hold the onslaught any longer and after suffering from various cracks and damage, it finally shattered and disappeared into nothingness along with its magic circle.
The Cyclops didn't seem to be in good condition either; he had hundreds of cuts and claw marks all over his body and purple blood dripped out of his wounds like a fountain.
Several monsters on the ground died from being dissolved in that purple, acidic blood.
*Rahahaha human, your tricks won't work on me! Now die!*
After shattering that ice claw, a look of pride appeared on the Cyclops's face and it immediately attacked Shin with a punch.
Shin ignored his words and smirked:
"Too late!"
Shin pointed his cane towards the ground with a wide smirk on his face.
"You took too much time dealing with that mere distraction, now I have already prepared the magic circle for you…!"
[Grade-2 Frost Magic: Condensed type: Frost Domain!]
A field containing immense frost element expanded in an instant and covered the whole area inside the larger barrier that Shin cast earlier.
When the 'Frost Domain' expanded, all the lower-grade monsters instantly froze to death on the spot, only the Cyclops remained unharmed.
Hundreds of chains made up of condensed ice sprung out of the snow field and immediately confined the cyclops on the spot.
*Graaaahhhh!*
The Cyclops tried to pull the chains and break free, but his resistance was useless.
"This is the end, farewell!"
A gigantic needle made of extremely condensed ice appeared in front of the Cyclops' chest and it slowly moved forward to pierce right through the heart of the Cyclops.
The Cyclops tried its best to move and break free but those chains didn't even budge, and thus the condensed needle pierced slowly right through his chest without any resistance.
Purple blood flowed like a fountain but the blood immediately froze into ice due to the frost domain before it could even fall to the ground.
Once the ice needle fully pierced through the chest of the cyclops, it started to freeze the Cyclops from inside out, causing the Cyclops to freeze without putting up any effective resistance.
Seeing that the Cyclops finally stopped moving, Shin heaved a sigh of relief.
'Finally, it's over… I barely have any mana left now…'
…
