I had realized that the Frost Queen had smartly created this challenge so it wouldn't be easily cheesed by long ranged magicians that could cover wide ranges. She granted the soldiers that appear here to invade the orb equipment and buffs that boost their resistance to long-ranged magic spells through the roof, while keeping them normal in everything else.
This means that they can actually receive pretty substantial damage from point blank attacks. Physical attacks that combine magic are also okay, and apparently Benladann's breath attack not pulverizing them as it should had been because of their resistance to long-ranged magic attacks, which dragon breath are at the end. However, when she approached them while enchanting her body and weapons with her Chaos Aura, she was able to easily kill them after weakening them with her breath attack.
A second observation of mine is that my Khione's Divine Judgement Divine Spell has some sort of Curse Effect! I had not seen it before because nothing that faced this Spell survived, but most if not all my Divine Ice Attribute Spells come with this special power that makes it so those that survive this devastating ice attack become slower and weaker. When I checked the Ogre's Status, I saw several of them with the [Frost Curse] Status, and when I inspected it, this is what it said:
[Frost Curse (Divine)]
A Status inflicted by the power of an incredible Divine Ice Attribute attack or spell. It is extra potent as it come charged with the power of the [Unique Skill: Winter Magic] capable of achieving levels of Ice Magic that surpass what this world has ever conceived before. The Curse causes the following effects:Decreases Speed by -50%.
Reflexes become duller and slower.
The user's body is half-frozen, making it fragile to physical attacks.
This Curse cannot be dispelled naturally and will remain in its target until they die.
What's this?! It's insane! So my spell still worked and helped the rest! With this they'll be slower, stupider, and also take bonus damage from physical damage, perhaps this is also another factor that can explain why Benladann is taking them down so swiftly.
"Let's go for round two then!" I roared, as I flew into the air and almost reached the ceiling, assessing the situation, I quickly conjured the [Magic Transfer] Spell into the magicians below me and my hundred slimes. This spell allows for me to transfer my magic into a target that I've connected with through a contract and grant them the ability to conjure the spell I choose.
"Are you guys ready?" I asked down below."We are!" Pekora said bravely.
"C-Can I even do anything to help?!" Charlotte asked in disbelief.
"Very well, my lord!" Rose answered.
"Yeaaaah!" The Slimes replied in unison.
"Magic Transfer: Khione's Divine Judgement x10!"
TRUUUUMMM…!
Using the others as targets that can conjure the spell for me, increasing my ability to conjure a spell consecutively at the same time, I brought the power of Khione's Divine Judgement ten times consecutively over the back of the army of Ogres, as hundreds of them were instantly frozen by the grace of ten beautiful giantesses made of ice!
"GRUOOOGGH…!"
"GRAAAGGH…!"
"RAAAGRR…!"
The groans of the Ogres resonated across the hall, as they immediately realized this was not a good thing! Their bodies immediately freezing for as much as five seconds. The spectacle quickly ending as only 20% of them truly died, while the others remained alive, continuing to charge forward.
"Again with this Spell, it didn't work the first time!" Yuki said angrily, as she began jumping in the heads of the Ogres. Shew as wearing a special armor I designed for her that enhanced all her physical capabilities, making her more agile, like a ninja.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
She used her long and sharp metallic claws to slash the necks of the Ogres, some of their attacks were about to reach her, with their enormous arms and maces, but she evaded them swiftly. She was like a fly moving so fast not even the most concentrated hand could catch her. bodies were dropping one after the other.
"Oh, now that I think about it, they got way weaker!" She said with a smile, slashing through more of her opponents.
"Of course they have gotten weaker! The power of Lord Drake had made them slower and easier to kill!" Tisha roared. The Ice Elf Warrioress was not someone of a bright mind, but she had a great heart and even greater physical prowess. Her enormous blade danced across the battlefield; the Ogres couldn't even keep up with her masterful movements despite the titanic size difference.
SLASH! SLASH! CLAAASH!
She spun around the skies and then jumped over the largest Ogre near her, slashing through his neck and slicing his head with the titanic blade I've give to her. A second after that, ice spikes emerged out of the ogre's corpse, piercing through the body of the surrounding Ogres in an instant!
"GRUUAAAH…!"
"GRAAH…!"
"GREAGH!"
"Huh, you're not as strong as I imagined… My Lord Drake's powers are truly making you all easy prey!" Tisha said while smiling maliciously. She began swinging her blade around, slashing through more of her foes.
Meanwhile, I also inspected the rest of our group, they were all doing rather well enough. Even Rakasha who had been practicing his fighting style by using a giant hammer in the past was now demolishing Ogres with the aid of Hector and the two other Lizardmen, Kraxka and Larzak, the four of them kept each other closer. I suppose that between men that are rather weaker than the ladies, they know that it is their best chance for survival and also to defeat their foes with efficiency.
Hector was wearing the Cursed Armor and the Bright Lance which I had infused into the Blue Slime with him. Now that the Slime was "upgraded" some time ago with divine power, the armor, and the weapon it could summon had become stronger as well, gaining divine elements to them, the black clad knight wielding a lance of light was demolishing his foes with fast movements, and resisting blows with amazing defense!
TRUUMMM…!
However, things suddenly began to change for the worse, the left and right walls began to tremble as two enormous new tunnels opened. And from within… an army of beasts emerged, all of them rushing towards us to target the Orb we had to protect! The Second Wave of foes already began, and the first one had yet to even be finished.
