Othua's War Banner

Chapter 554 0402: Cloud Vortex

Ken wrapped his cheeks in felt, leaving only his eyes out, his warm clothes flapping in the strong wind.

He could feel the fluttering beast fur wrapped around the handle of the giant sword behind him, and the unnatural pull made him miss his battle ax from time to time while walking.

Both claws of the werewolf leader are legendary weapons. Even so, they failed to defeat the legendary Frost Spirit.

Ken didn't make any preparations for this trip, and naturally he didn't imagine defeating a legendary beast.

He didn't bring an army, he didn't bring any weapons he could take with him, he didn't even bring his own Wolf King Fei.

Ken didn't know: why did he go to the top of Moni Snow Peak so persistently?
He was like a pious martyr in the rumors, relying on a certain intuition, walking among the broken black stones, letting the dark clouds and storms dance wantonly above his head.

Ken briefly lost the concept of time in the howling wind.

[Rumor: If you stay outdoors in La Boao for a long time, ordinary adventurers will even suffer from severe insomnia and tinnitus. 】

He felt obvious ups and downs in the terrain under his feet, and there were obvious signs of fighting on the hillside, some of which were very new, and some could only be discovered with the help of the gray vision.

The teleportation array Alcott mentioned was not recorded on any map, and he pointed out the direction swearingly.

Ken detoured against Xuefeng's routine uphill path, and found the traces left by the "Uncoverer" organization not too far away. Perhaps because of the increase in his magical background, he began to have an epiphany about those mysterious rules.

When he was still some distance away from the teleportation array, he noticed the folds of space magic.

Ken does not have the strength of [Wei] or [Selina], but after he opened his gray vision, the magic circle hidden behind the snow and phantoms was clearly exposed in front of him.

The scorched stones formed a labyrinth, and at first glance, it looked like a messy gravel field.

Shallow footprints remained in the places not covered by snow, and in the air that could not be disturbed by the strong wind, there was also the special beasty smell of werewolf hair wet, which only the wolf spirit holder could detect.

Ken continued to explore in this direction, and then saw more dense footprints in a collapsed cave.

The [Emblem of the Uncoverer] embedded in his hand began to emit light, reflecting a special shape in the palm of his hand, and the teleportation circle at the other end of the wall seemed to echo.

The walls began to peel off, dust fell down, and then the light of the same color outlined complex lines.

The price that Alcott urged did not appear, perhaps thanks to the convenience of members of the Unmasked.

Ken's teleportation will be "free".

He kept moving forward until he entered the range of the magic circle.

The light surged up and swallowed it, and the slow feeling of passing through the mist has not been fully adapted, and a new fall ushered in, the consciousness was pulled, and the body was constantly flickering.

……

In the deadly silence of the air, Selena caught the ripples of magic vigilantly.

Suddenly, a line of sight appeared on the magic weapon in front of her, indicating that a revealer borrowed his own magic.

Each badge issued has a unique imprint, and Ken Bouvier's whereabouts have also been exposed in the air.

Selina was a little puzzled: "What is he doing there?"

Just as Wei was about to talk, she suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck. She couldn't help but look behind her. In the silent night, the cold curtain of moonlight fell to the ground.

Wearing a heavy hood, the stranger appeared here silently.

There is almost no silver moonlight in Palotus, so Wei knew who was in front of her in an instant.

Selina felt that there was a force mixed in the magic ripples. The other party wanted to snatch the space coordinates, so she crushed the magic she had arranged without hesitation.

The strange visitor looked up.

Wei hid behind her tutor nervously. She knew that in front of her was the mortal enemy of the Uncoverers organization. Although everyone was digging history, this group of people were outright lunatics.

The visitor also raised his head slowly.

Wei's face was illuminated by the silver light, and her eyes widened—there was no human face in the hood, but a vast moon.

……

"Huh!"

Ken shuddered all over.

He woke up from a brief coma, frowning and covering his head. "What the hell."

The high-level werewolves had already tried the teleportation circle. Logically speaking, the members of the Uncoverers should be more stable, but the teleportation was only halfway through, and it was violently fluctuated.

For a brief moment, Ken felt the malice of the extreme cold, and then, the turbulent flow of space scratched his skin.

The wolf spirit started to get restless.

Ken straightened up, turned his head, and his eyes became sharp.

In front of him was a completely collapsed ruin, like a toy played by wild beasts, and what made people shudder was the corpses of dozens of high-ranking werewolves lying all around.

Ice froze the mutilated bodies, and blood and stagnant water pooled in a mottled pattern on the ground.

Ken couldn't help but clenched the giant sword that Alcott had given him.

The top of Moni Snow Peak is much wider than he imagined, maybe half the area of ​​Ambera Ice Harbor, and there are obvious signs of landslides on the edge. It seems that the orcs who climbed to the top decades ago made a fuss. There was a lot of movement.

And it was exactly as Alcott said—everything on it was destroyed.

Ken turned and looked around.

There was indeed no suspicious movement at the top of Xuefeng, surrounded by a vast sea of ​​clouds, beige waves mixed with beautiful white, the spacious space that was originally thought to be very small at this time.

Clouds swirled slowly around the snow peak.

The place where Ken is standing is like a small island in the ocean, no, it should be said to be a reef, and the endless clouds continue to stir up thunder and storms.

The dangerous climate and the desolate and lonely city are all covered under this cloud vortex.

Above the head is the faint blue sky, revealing a solemn blackness, mortals rarely have the opportunity to feel the breath of the morning star so closely, it is a kind of mist visible to the naked eye.

Ken's line of sight traced an arc following the tail of the penetrating sky, connecting the two ends of the sea of ​​clouds.

No one knows who disturbed the cloud vortex, but the rhythm of the rotation was wrong, there was a slight tremor from the mountain peak, and then there was a crackling sound from the frozen battlefield under the feet.

[Frost Spirit is coming, you can choose to avoid it, or face it calmly. 】

"This is someone else's home, there is nowhere to hide." Ken said.

He looked at the dying corpses around him, and there were more and more miserable adventurers near the ruins. This group of people might not understand what they were facing until they died.

"Come on, I'm waiting for you."

Ken is holding the broadsword. Although [Dawn and Twilight] has entered the forging stage, [Yun Hui] is connected, and the blessings brought by legendary weapons seem to be still effective.

[Passive: Ancient Battle Skill]

He wields the giant sword very maturely and looks like a seasoned warrior.

[The monster is climbing on the cliff, and you gradually realize that you are surrounded. 】

The trembling on the top of the mountain became more and more dense, voices came from inside the ruins, the stone road strewn with corpses gradually cracked, and pairs of thick arms rested on the edge of the building.

The stones collapsed down the road, exposing the dust behind them, and the surrounding things inside.

[Hostile: Mountain monster group]

【quantity:-】

Remarks There is no way to count the number of enemies?
Ken was a little surprised, and soon realized that this mountain was the habitat of snow monsters, and they lived together in groups. Maybe disturbing one group would offend another group by the way.

The vortex of the sea of ​​clouds was broken, and the group of crystal angels rushed to the sky against the cliff, circling around Ken.

【Hostile: Crystal Angel】

【Quantity: 27】

Ken grasped the giant sword and felt the beating of his muscles. Instead of entangled with Frost Spirit, he turned around and rushed into the relatively narrow and broken corridor.

The mountain monsters roared and rushed towards him, their thick limbs were closer to the soil, their fangs were full of saliva, and their backs were covered with knotted hairs.

Several nearby mountain monsters stepped on the rocks that were about to collapse and crossed the terrain.

Ken held the giant sword and used [Frost Whisperer]. The icy chill penetrated the blade, and a white mist of extreme cold floated out. When he turned around, he swung it from bottom to top.

The mountain monster flying into the air let out a wailing sound, its bloated body was cut in two immediately, and its internal organs splashed all over the ground.

Ken's fighting power made the mountain monsters a little panicked. Just before the remaining monsters were about to collide, they suddenly separated towards the surroundings and circled around him keeping a distance.

The thick hoofs stirred up dust on the ground, and then a surprise attack broke out in the shadows that flashed by.

Ken released the frost magic in his hand, and the aroused ice cone filled the ground with blood. Then the steel sword stirred up a storm, moved and slashed easily in the team, beheading one monster after another.

With the sound of piercing through the air, the crystal angels rushed into the smoke.

The names of this group of monsters come from a story in the old divine calendar, but under the seemingly beautiful names, they are carnivorous in nature. Their sharp and thin heads, full of thin teeth and ferocious faces are the biggest characteristics.

Ken held the steel sword and drew a shallow circle on the ground.

After that, all kinds of ice cones shot out involuntarily, and the frozen shield wall became an obstacle in the smoke. The monsters that swooped down hit the hard ice one after another, and some of them broke their necks on the spot.

But as monsters living on high mountains, most crystal angels can still break through the ice smoothly.

Green fluorescence began to emerge from the corpse. In the chaotic battle, only Ken could see the [source of life] gathering in his body.

Ken did not find any leader-level monsters among the mountain monsters.

He kept waving the steel sword in his hand, spraying out clumps of dark red blood in the smoke, and the feeling of humidity and heat deepened the weird atmosphere in the air.

Ken calculated the progress of obtaining [Essence of Life], and at the same time, he was also paying attention to the shaking of the ground.

Crystal Angel's sneak attack didn't get any benefit from the smoke.

Ken already had a deep understanding of ice magic. With the swing of the steel sword, neither the vicious mountain monster nor the dexterous monster could survive.

He felt the creatures around him retreat.

"That's not good news."

The rules of natural selection in Palotus are applicable everywhere, whether it is ferocious beasts or monsters, they all follow the rules of the territory. If the powerful leader-level monsters do not appear, it means that the things that come are more terrifying than that.

Ken crossed the ruins of the ruins and waited nervously against the shelter, worried that the entire mountain would collapse under the continuous shaking.

The dust soon fell down.

Ken saw that the surrounding ruins were all hidden rubble, and all kinds of broken battle axes and broadswords were intertwined on the cracked ground.

By the time he realized that something was wrong, the top of Moni Snow Peak had been locked by a huge force.

Ken turned his head slowly, looking at the sea of ​​clouds swirling behind him.

A huge claw gently pressed against the cliff.

The vibration it brought out caused the ruins to be covered with gravel, and the outline of the sea of ​​clouds was vaguely seen under the surge.

A chill swept across the land at the top of the snow peak, and the corpse that had just died was instantly frozen, cooling and hardening under Ken's eyes.

The illusory fear has turned into a bulky and gigantic beast, the silhouette of its body is vaguely visible in the sea of ​​clouds, it is as tall as a fully oared beast sailboat.

"It should be right, this is the Frost Spirit that Alcott mentioned."

This legendary creature that had fought a bloody battle with Frengundo looked like a long-haired lion, but it had three heads, and the ice picks hung on both sides of the head in braids, with a dignified demeanor...

[You found a legendary creature, reputation +100. 】

Its eyes seemed a little heavy, and the pupils inside looked terrifying.

[Legendary Creature: Frost Spirit]

【Grade: S】

Thousands of beasts once fought Frengundur here, and now the frost spirits occupy this land.

Ken saw thunder in the cloud vortex creating a thunderstorm when his body made contact.

It climbed to the top without noticing it, then looked around, barely stopping at a position a stone's throw away from Ken, and the terrible chill swept around it as the center of a circle.

Whether it is the crystal angel or the mountain monster, they all surrender to this terrifying force at this time.

Ken looked in from the corner:

Frost Spirit was entrenched in the potholes of the ruins, his gaze was scanning back and forth on the top of the snow peak, and the whole world strangely fell into a state of stillness.

There are large and small blood spots on it, so the whole hair is not so clean, and the frost spirit blood circulated by Alcott and other adventurers comes from these places.

Palotusbi had given up on finding the mystery of Frengundo at the top of Monic Snow Peak.

But everyone aimed at Frost Spirit, constantly challenging it, and taking the desired materials from it.

Ken fell into some kind of thinking at this time.

Frost Spirit only reappeared about ten years ago, which means that it may have been healing the wounds left on it by Frengundor for a long time in the past.

But with so many snow peaks around, there are countless suitable habitats...

Why did the Frost Spirit occupy this place?

Why has it been disturbed repeatedly by humans and has not changed its territory?
