"Wonderful. Well, let''s get to it, then."


    As he said the words, a ck ball appeared in Dalton''s right hand. It grew bigger and bigger, radiating an icy, ck miasma. Dalton then controlled the ball with both hands, hurling it into theke.


    The next second, the water in Pulsa Lake froze over, with icy snowkes dancing across its surface. Ayer of ice formed over theke, the raised frost lifting the


    boat up.


    Icicles began to climb up the boat, quickly covering it with ayer of frost including Augheimer.


    Wilbur''s eyes turned bloodshot. "What the hell are you doing, Dalton!"


    Dalton sneered. "You managed to defeat me thest time because I was careless, Wilbur. I''veid down the most powerful Dark Formation at the bottom of theke, and it''s going to keep everything within Pulsa Lake frozen. With how frozen your little friend over there looks, I doubt he''s going tost more than an hour. If you can''t defeat me by then, Augheimer is going to die!"


    "You''re not going to get away this time, Dalton!"


    Wilbur summoned the Magic Dragon de, leaping into Pulsa Lake. He was getting closer and closer to the wooden boat when a wall of ice appeared to block


    his way.


    "You fell for it, Wilbur!" Dalton was practically beaming from ear to ear.


    "Anyone who stands in my way shall perish!"


    Wilbur''s eyes were bloodshot as he struck the icy wall in front of him. It only left a small dent. The wall was far stronger than Wilbur had expected.


    "What? Why is this happening?"


    Just then, more walls rose up from the ice around Wilbur. The next second, he was trapped in a dome of ice.


    Wilbur looked up, trying to jump out of the dome from above.


    All of a sudden, Dalton appeared above Wilbur''s head with an attack. A gigantic ck hand appeared, and Wilbur deflected it with his Magic Dragon de. The attack crushed the sword, breaking it into pieces.


    Wilburnded on the ground rapidly as Dalton flew backward. The heavens were freezing over, forming a hollow pir that trapped Wilbur inside.


    ...


    Wilbur struck the walls inside the pir with his sword, but it did nothing apart from making some thumping sounds. Under the power of the Dark Formation, the ice was even harder than a rock.


    "Master!"


    Felix flew forward, anxiously making a beeline towards the icy wall. Yet just as he was about to reach it, a ck figure appeared to strike him in the chest.
