Facing Wen Wen, who was charging at him, the Ice Queen did not even glance before unleashing an ice wall in Wen Wen's direction. Based on her combat experience, this wall should have been enough to stop him.
However, at this moment, Wen Wen's body suddenly turned into a green phantom, entering the ethereal space!
After evading the ice wall, he violently leaped out from the ethereal space and appeared before the Ice Queen.
The Ice Queen was utterly shocked, but she was already powerless to stop Wen Wen.
If she hadn't focused most of her attention on Song Ling earlier, Wen Wen's maneuver might not have succeeded. But there are no "ifs" in combat, so this punch landed squarely in the Ice Queen's abdomen!
The immense force shattered the ice armor around her abdomen, and the ice armor on her back was also blown open. A large area around her was destroyed by the colossal power.
She spewed out a mouthful of icy blood, her internal organs even displaced. She instantly lost most of her strength.
This was Wen Wen's strongest punch. Even in perfect condition, she would have found it difficult to withstand it, let alone be caught off guard.
Lying on the ground, the Ice Queen's expression was still a mixture of grief and indignation. She gazed at Song Ling with eyes full of hatred.
Her relationship with the Lion King was considered the only warmth among the royal family of this fairy tale town.
It was she and the Lion King who had supported each other, establishing a city-state in the inner world. Although this castle was eventually seized by the 'Terror Hominids,' their feelings for each other never changed.
With her husband of a hundred years dead, she lost her composure and, in her carelessness, was ambushed by Wen Wen, rendering her incapacitated.
Then, several sharp threads pierced through her joints, locking her in place. This rendered her even more incapable of resistance.
Looking at the Ice Queen's sorrowful gaze, Wen Wen scratched his chin. Why did he suddenly feel like the villain?
Thinking carefully, although this group of monsters harbored ill intentions, compared to other monsters, they seemed to be exceptionally harmless.
And he, the hunter, was like a robber who raided homes, breaking into their town, destroying their home, capturing their daughter, and killing her husband…
The more he thought about it, the less he liked himself…
"Pitiful, so pitiful,"
Wen Wen sighed, shook his head, drew his Blade of Filth, and was about to end her life. Since he had already come this far, he might as well go all the way.
"Wait, don't kill her. It's better to keep her alive," Sifolmo stopped Wen Wen.
"Why?"
Sifolmo explained, "She is no longer a threat. It's best to hand her over to the Association for disposal."
"Moreover, with the death of the Lion King, the maddening effect of the giant barrier has disappeared. If you kill her now, the barrier will vanish, and the things in this town will escape. The helpers outside cannot stop the creatures here. It's better for us to wait for the Association's people to arrive before lifting the barrier."
Wen Wen nodded, agreeing with his reasoning, and then said, "Then it shouldn't be a problem for us to divide the spoils, right? I want that sword."
Sifolmo shrugged and smiled, "Then I'll take that ice sphere. It should be better than the sword."
"Are you sure you only want that ice sphere?" Wen Wen narrowed his eyes.
"Of course. Are there any other treasures on her that I haven't found?" Sifolmo looked at Wen Wen strangely.
Wen Wen said sheepishly, "No, no, I meant her jewelry, her crown, and such…"
"You can have whatever you want. What do I need these feminine trinkets for?" Sifolmo said indifferently. Sudan Novel Network
"You don't know the cost of living until you've managed a household. Then I won't be polite," Wen Wen said with a sly grin as he approached the Ice Queen, took her Frost Longsword, and tossed the ice sphere to Sifolmo.
Then, under the murderous gaze of the Ice Queen, he began to rummage through her belongings.
Crown, rings, earrings, necklaces, hairpins… In short, anything shiny, Wen Wen wanted it!
Although these were not supernatural items, they were inscribed with runes of the ice attribute. And after being worn by the Ice Queen for hundreds of years, they had also absorbed some of her ice powers.
Even Wen Wen did not spare her ice armor. This ice armor was actually a super-powered armor, but its abdominal section had been shattered by Wen Wen's blow, greatly reducing its value.
But in Wen Wen's eyes, this thing could still be used with modifications. He had a large group of subordinates, and thriftiness was a virtue.
Finally, Wen Wen used a large syringe to draw a substantial amount of blood from her. Except for the close-fitting undergarments that protected her vital areas, he took everything else.
This act caused Sifolmo to stare with wide eyes. Was this how thoroughly spoils of war were collected?
And now, the Ice Queen's murderous gaze had turned into outright tears. She looked utterly pathetic.
Always the Snow Queen, she was now as fragile as a young girl. Her husband was dead, and she had suffered such humiliation. She truly wished she were dead.
But under the control of those threads, she couldn't even decide her own death.
"Pervert, you've gone a bit too far," Sifolmo said speechlessly to Wen Wen.
"It's already showing mercy that I left her clothes. After these monsters kill, they don't just take the clothes, but also… Don't call me a pervert," Wen Wen raised an eyebrow.
"Alright, Brother Wen, as you wish."
Sifolmo sighed. He wasn't sympathizing with the Ice Queen, but rather felt that a strong individual deserved basic respect.
"Brother Wen… that sounds a bit strange."
Wen Wen's eyes flickered a few times before he realized what was strange. The way this guy said his surname, the intonation had risen…
Finally, Song Ling pointed his finger, and two large banana leaves grew, wrapping around the Ice Queen. This way, she at least looked less disheveled.
After all, they had spent three years together, and Song Ling couldn't bear to see her lying on the ground without any dignity.
Sifolmo then wound some threads around the banana leaves, further wrapping the Ice Queen and leaving only her head exposed.
This was their way of showing care for the Ice Queen, but Wen Wen felt it looked even stranger. Leaves tied with threads, wasn't that like a zongzi (rice dumpling)?
Wen Wen thought this might be the most expensive zongzi in the world.
The Ice Queen's expression became even more humiliated.
…
For the next few hours, the injured Sifolmo guarded the Ice Queen, preventing her from escaping.
Meanwhile, Wen Wen and Song Ling began to maintain order using the strongest forces available in the town.
Whether it were the monsters in their true human forms or the humans who had acquired some monster characteristics, all of them were valuable. They could not afford to have them annihilated in mutual combat.
It was unclear how Song Ling managed it, but with the death of the Lion King, several demon hunters from Songtao City appeared, assisting him in maintaining order.
Originally, the strength of ordinary demon hunters was unremarkable in this town. However, as the monsters' strength generally declined and the top monsters were all dealt with, ordinary demon hunters were now sufficient to control the situation.
Song Ling, being the highest-ranking individual in the town besides the royal family, naturally became the highest authority after the royal family was incapacitated.
With the assistance of the demon hunters, the town quickly restored order.
The humans and monsters who had almost beaten each other senseless were now merely glaring at each other, but they dared not act out.
