Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 555 Sad Ending
As the ice dragon's head killed itself, the howling wind and blizzard around it gradually dissipated. When Angel was no longer able to maintain his "frost" ability, it turned into ordinary snowflakes, falling on the "King of the North" one by one. On the headless body.

The dragon head that had spit out the last trace of ice flames fell to the ice with its spine hanging with flesh and blood, making a bang. The pair of dead blue eyes looked at Grossel, who was in a sluggish state, as if he was the one who killed him. own culprit.

Then, in everyone's eyes, the headless dragon corpse and the head that betrayed it turned into a blue-white stream of light, gathering together to outline an arc-shaped arch above the ice field.

The light dissipated, and a double door appeared on the ice. It seemed to have been standing here for thousands of years. It was heavy and quiet. The top of the door arch was covered with a thick layer of ice, and the ice edges even built in front of the door.

Without any prompting, everyone immediately understood that this was the exit from "Grossell's Travels".

"Finally...we succeeded!"

The first person to speak was Grossel, whose silver armor was gradually disappearing and a huge wound opened by a dragon's claw on his side. He laughed a few times and raised his feet forward, as if he wanted to touch the door that had been waiting for thousands of years. , but fell forward and hit the ice with a bang.

"Grossell!"

Shaitas realized something was wrong, walked to the giant with a fast pace befitting an elf, took off the "rose necklace" from his neck, and wanted to put it on him, but found that a necklace of this size could not even be made into a bracelet for him. Feng, and looked anxiously at the ascetic monk Snowman.

The latter used "notarization" too many times and cooperated with Angel to fight against the strongest ice power of the "King of the North". At this time, his thin body was swaying. With the help of Mobet, he came to the giant's side. He looked at the huge wound that reached deep into his internal organs, frowned, and said nothing.

The flanks that were originally disemboweled are now intact, showing healthy gray-blue skin.

Edwina expressed everyone's thoughts. She then looked at the cave that was almost buried in snow and shouted loudly:
"Daniz, come out, the battle is over."

He put his right hand wearing an ordinary glove into the huge wound, pressed one side, as if dragging a heavy object, and "transferred" the wound to his shoulder with difficulty, and then to his left arm, leaving a wound at the elbow. There was a scar that was deep enough to show the bone.

he sighed.

Naturally, not a single bit of the so-called extraordinary characteristics remained.

Seeing her approaching, Klein took the initiative to speak.

This sentence seemed to remind others that this place was still in a false world. Everyone, including Grossel, who had just climbed up on his own and caressed his injured left arm, turned their attention to the huge door. .

"Punishment Knight" Longzell, who was wearing black armor, came to the other side and shouted into the giant's ears, which were bigger than the palms of his hands.

"Grossell, can you hear me?"

Klein put down the exhausted Angel and let her be held by Edwina, while he half-knelt beside Grossell.

"She promised to give me the formula of 'Ocean Singer', and I will exchange it for a relic obtained from the ruins of Goshinam."

"Let me do it."

"Let's get out as soon as possible. No one knows how long this door will last. If we miss it, how many years will we have to wait for another 'King of the North'."

The four-meter-tall body shook.

This will probably make Lie Yan lose his last bit of confidence... Angel recovered some of his strength, stood up from Edwina's arms, muttered something silently, approached Klein, and found that he was talking to the elf singer Shaitas. , and then handed the pen and paper he carried to the other party, who took it and started writing.

"I feel much better……"

The giant's already weak breathing immediately became heavy, and the sound like a bellows made everyone feel relieved.

Klein also stood up and looked at the ancient double doors. He searched around the area with his eyes. He was disappointed but not surprised to find that the body and flesh of "King of the North" Yurisian had completely disappeared, as if he had never been there before. Existed the same.

His top hat flew away during the battle. At this time, his eyes were burning under his gold-rimmed glasses, and he could clearly see the spiritual thread extending from Grossel's body. This meant that the giant was not dead yet, but was just seriously injured.

"It seems that it is different from us and is a false creature created by this travel book."

This gasping reply made everyone sigh in relief. Xiatasi, whose serious injury had not yet been completely healed by the "Rose Necklace", even sat directly on the cold ground, which made Mobet nervous for a while and Anderson trembled. Shaking the ice shards from his hair, he silently sheathed his dagger. The ascetic monk Snowman closed his eyes, crossed himself on his chest, and prayed in a low voice. Angel walked towards the crowd with the support of Edwina, Both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

"Ocean Singer" is the next sequence that Alger of the Hanged Man needs, and Coshinam... Angel quickly recalled in his mind a certain Tarot meeting, when the Fool almost admitted that he was in charge of the authority of "Poseidon" The name of the "Queen of Scourge" mentioned.

By the way, at that time, Klein was still pretending that he was just an ordinary believer and not from the "world"... Thinking of this, she glanced at the other party with some resentment, but was seen by Shatas who handed over the potion formula.

This elf with a soft voice but a somewhat irritable personality chuckled, returned the "Rose Necklace" in his hand to Angel, and said:

"I have nothing to do with him, it's just a transaction."

No, you misunderstood, and it is easier to misunderstand if you say it this way... Angel was speechless, and just as he was about to explain, Daniz had already walked out of the cave with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He looked at the huge door that suddenly appeared. Everyone was injured, but could not hide the smiles on their faces, and lowered their heads in silence.

It seems that he was not able to participate in this battle and had no chance to show off in front of the captain, which made him even less confident in his own strength... Angel sighed secretly and found that the blond hunter Anderson was approaching him with a strange smile, as if Be prepared to say something.

Maybe a few words of provocation could cheer him up a bit.

Angel no longer paid attention to that side, but looked at the black-haired and pointed-eared elf Xiatas, and asked:
"Did the arrows you just used come from the power of your own path?"

"You mean 'Storm Arrow'? That is not the power of potions, but a way of using power taught by our king. Multiple arrows attacking the same position can increase subsequent damage. If there are more than three archers launching them at the same time, Even the 'King of the North' can't resist the attack."

Shatasi replied with a proud look on her face. Sure enough, this is the "Gathering of Storms", or in other words, the prototype of "Gathering of Storms", and I don't have the memory or knowledge in my mind to use it as an arrow, which means that what I know is the "copy" …

Angel's guess was confirmed. He stopped talking and looked at the opposite door in the wind and snow.

At this time, everyone had gathered and came to the door. Team Grossel didn't even bring tents or survival tools, but looked at the door expectantly.

Even Long Zell, who was the last to enter, has experienced more than 160 years in the book. They should all be returning home... Angel looked at everyone who had become companions in the short battle with relief, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

But, what happens after they go out...

A strange idea suddenly came to her mind.

Grossel comes from the Giant King's Court, but Mr. "Sun" said that place has been destroyed for thousands of years; Shatas's fellow elves have long been lost in time, leaving only the elven ruins all over the Sunia Sea; Momo Bete came from the Solomon Empire in the Fourth Age, but the Northern Continent has been replaced by Loen and other countries; Longzell did come from Loen and Backlund, but everyone he knew died a hundred years ago...

Most importantly, they themselves...

"Where do you plan to go after you get out?"

A whispered exchange interrupted her thoughts.

Ronzel energetically asked Grossel, who was twice his height, and was no longer as confused as Angel was when he first met him.

The latter touched the wound on his arm and replied in a loud voice:
"The King's Court of Giants."

"I guess so," Long Zell said, dusting off the snowflakes on his shoulder armor, "I want to go back to Backlund and go back to my home in the northwest district..."

His voice became lower and lower, and the last word was almost inaudible, but Angel recognized it as "Mom" by the shape of his mouth.

She turned her head and met Klein's eyes. The latter was also a little sentimental, but did not speak.

Backlund's northwest district had been redivided a hundred years ago and no longer existed. Moreover, not to mention Long Zell's mother, even if she had left an heir, she was no longer alive.

Everyone slowly walked through the field where they had fought just now, stepped through the ravines captured by the ice dragon, and came to the huge door with traces of flames, frost, and lightning raging everywhere.

Grossell put one hand on the ice-covered door and looked at the others.

Shaitas, Mobet, Longzel, and then the taciturn Snowman, each held out a hand and pressed it on the side of the door.

Angel, Klein, Edwina, who had just joined the team within a few days to a few hours, and Danitz, who had re-energized under Anderson's "encouragement", also raised their hands and pressed on the door on the other side. .

"Let's go."

Grossell said, and everyone worked together to push open the door.

The next second, the ice and snow, the gate and the endless ice fields in front of Angel's eyes became illusory and transparent and disappeared without a trace. Oil lamps lit up, followed by bookshelves, navigation tables and several armchairs that turned brown under the light.

She returned to the captain's cabin of the Golden Dream.

Ten people suddenly appeared and almost filled the entire room. The tall Grossel hit the ceiling directly. He lowered his head carefully and bent over to avoid pushing through the wooden ceiling, but his face was Wear a genuine smile.

"We really came out..."

Mobet stroked the asymmetrically buttoned buttons on his chest with one hand, and reached out to the elf Xiatas beside him with one hand. The latter hesitated for a moment and held the other person's hand.

"I didn't expect that I would still be on the boat after I came out."

Long Zell murmured, slowly stretched out his hand, touched the navigation table beside him, and pressed his finger on a point on the map, which was the Loen Kingdom in the northern continent.

Whispering, the sound of the pages turning made everyone turn their attention to the desk. The "Grossell's Travels" placed there automatically turned to the last few pages without any wind. The pages that were originally stuck together were already filled with content. , passed before everyone's eyes until the end of the story.

"Grossell fulfilled his promise. He led the teammates he met on the road, and with the help of the lost pirate, the lady who controlled the ice, the crazy adventurer and the powerful hunter, he killed the 'King of the North' and returned triumphantly. "

"Triumphant return……"

Grossell silently recited the last few words, blinked his vertical one eye, stretched out his uninjured right hand, and patted his chest.

Suddenly, he found that the gray-blue skin on his arms became pale, then dried up and wrinkled, and the strong muscles inside began to atrophy.

He lowered his head in surprise and looked at the other teammates in the room.

The smiles on the faces of Mobet, Shatas, Longzell and Snowman also disappeared in an instant. Their eyes moved from the giant that instantly became old to other teammates, and finally to their own bodies.

In just a few seconds, these powerful Beyonders who had just challenged and killed the "King of the North" became old and on the verge of death!
