Chapter 171
The second prince narrowed his eyes, raised his head, and felt the strong pressure from the clouds.
"What is that?"
In the clouds, it seemed that something was rolling, raising waves of air!
It twisted back and forth in the air, and dense white air currents were wandering around it.
The clouds covered it, and the wind around it stopped.
Dick stood beside the second prince, and even he felt something was wrong.
Having stayed in the far north for many years, Dick had long been accustomed to the cold, but this kind of weather made people inexplicably irritable and fearful.
He stood beside the second prince and said respectfully.
"Your Highness... How about we stop investigating here today?"
This was already an abnormal situation.
The wind stopped in the northern border, which was always snowy.
He had to go back quickly and report this matter to the general.
But the second prince did not respond to him.
As if he noticed something, the second prince looked at the knights who were still investigating.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"Don't get close to there!"
The second prince's voice rang out loudly, and the knights who were leaning against the ruins of the temple and planning to check couldn't help but turn their heads.
But suddenly, their bodies froze.
It seemed that there was a pair of huge eyes, staring at their backs in the wind.
In the silence, they could only hear the voice coming from the distance.
"Escape..."
Boom--! ! !
A roar, accompanied by a storm, swept across the sky!
A huge and dazzling light flashed across, as if a storm had descended on the earth.
With destructive power, it plowed the snow on the entire ice field and headed straight for everyone on the ruins.
In an instant, Dick quickly grabbed the staff at his waist and raised it.
The staff instantly emitted a dazzling light.
[Glorious Shelter]
A huge energy barrier suddenly rose up, as if inlaid with countless shining gems, flashing dazzling light.
But in front of the violent wind, it seemed extremely fragile.
A terrifying scene appeared in front of the two.
The storm raged, with terrifying pressure, swallowing everything.
Even the seemingly solid barrier was crumbling in the storm.
Finally, a crack appeared in the barrier.
Only a "click" sound was heard.
It was like shattered glass, which could no longer withstand the surging storm.
Dick was pushed back hundreds of meters by the aftermath of the storm, and hit a wall of ice hard, and immediately lost consciousness and fainted.
Only the second prince was left, still standing there.
Unconsciously, black stripes climbed up his face.
The storm did not shake his body. Several thorns rose from the ground beside him, tightly binding him.
Until the storm dispersed, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and half-knelt on the ground.
Seriously injured...
Just being affected by the terrifying attack, or the barrier taking away a lot of force.
He suffered such a serious injury.
The second prince looked at the scene in front of him in great shock.
Everything around him disappeared.
The ruins of the abandoned temple and the knights around him.
Just like the wind, everything disappeared under the amazing storm.
What on earth was that?
He looked up suddenly and saw the sky.
He saw its appearance clearly.
It seemed to be a...huge worm.
Its claws seemed to be thicker and stronger than a dragon. It grabbed a dark cloud and gradually revealed its head.
A huge dark head.
It was as dark as a cloud, and it seemed to have two tentacles on its head.
The inky black body kept rolling in the clouds.
"...Snake?"
The second prince widened his eyes and looked at the sky in horror.
That huge monster that could freely shuttle in the sky.
It was definitely not an existence that humans could defeat.
It definitely couldn't be a snake.
Suddenly, its head moved.
As if it had sensed something, its eyes, like two bright lights, looked in one direction.
It suddenly swam its body and shuttled back into the clouds.
The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the weather gradually recovered.
Feeling the ice and snow falling on him again, the second prince finally moved.
He sat on the ground, gasping for breath.
For the first time, he felt the feeling of death spreading in his heart.
That feeling was so close to him.
"... Greed, are you still there?"
"What was that just now?"What?"
Under his inquiry, Yem's voice trembled slightly.
"That is...disaster."
The second prince was stunned.
Disaster?
What on earth is that?
"Don't ask me too much."
"Don't be discovered by it. Don't provoke it."
Yem's voice gradually faded.
The second prince was silent.
He raised his head again and looked at the sky.
Looking at the figure of the terrifying monster as it left.
The direction it looked when it left.
"The Pale Mage will..."
...
[Second-level magic: Water Curtain]
The layers of magic circles surged around Erica, combining with the surrounding wind and snow.
It was like water waves flowing, rippling out from around Erica's body.
"Splash..."
A clear spring water came out from the sky. Falling down, like dancing water, it gathered beside Erica, gradually forming a small vortex, wrapping her in it.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
As the mist became thicker and thicker, Erica in the water curtain became blurred.
Suddenly, the mist spread violently, covering the entire water curtain.
In this water curtain, every part of her body seemed to be washed over and over again by the water flow.
Erica closed her eyes and let the water vapor diffuse around her without moving.
"Not bad."
Beside her, Amelia stood beside her, holding a lollipop in her mouth.
She looked at Erica quietly and nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that your control over your own magic has improved a bit."
The water curtain persisted for a while and gradually dissipated in the wind and snow.
Erica remained calm, opened her eyes, and smiled politely at Amelia:
"Thank you. "
Today's magic practice has ended, and she sat down on the steps nearby and began to rest.
But her expression was a little more worried.
The second prince came from the capital just to investigate the demon incident.
She knew this very well.
Although Erica didn't know whether the second prince could find out anything, she was a little worried.
After all, the demon was summoned by Professor Victor.
"Woo--"
Suddenly, an alarm sounded, and Erica suddenly raised her head.
She had never heard such an urgent alarm in so many days in the North.
"What happened?"
Amelia stood beside her and said quietly.
"If this alarm is sounded, it generally symbolizes the occurrence of two things."
"Barbarian invasion, or, some natural disaster is about to happen. "
Erica nodded in realization.
But the two most powerful forces among the barbarians are almost extinct.
And the remaining barbarians have long since become insignificant.
So...
"A natural disaster?"
"No."
Amelia stretched out her hand and felt the wind around her, which had calmed down without her noticing.
She raised her head and looked directly at the sky, where the half-revealed horror was.
"I'm afraid it's worse than that."
Suddenly, Erica's heart sank slightly.
It seemed like something was calling out.
She raised her palm.
It was as if she was being summoned.
In the palm of her hand, a stream of air rose up involuntarily.
Erica raised her head and also looked at the sky.
The half-revealed horror had huge eyes like light bulbs.
"! "
Erica knew it very well.
The look in the eyes of that terrifying monster.
It was looking towards her.
Suddenly, it retracted its gaze.
The body rolled back and forth between the clouds, stirring up waves of air around.
Instantly, it raised its head and howled to the sky!
"Ah--!!!"
It was like a dragon's roar, resounding over the entire territory.
Then she looked up and looked at the sky.
The amazing wind blew again.
And this time, the cold wind seemed to have a knife-like cutting feeling.
...
Vladimir was wearing a fur coat and standing on the top of the snowy mountain.
Feeling the dangerously cold wind around him, he stretched out a hand and pinched the cigar in his mouth.
Took a big puff.
"Hiss..."
Behind him, stood several wizards in white robes.
Vladimir said lightly without looking back.
"Are you all gathered? "
"Almost done."
The person behind him reported.
Vladimir raised his head and looked at the huge thing in the sky.
The huge worm kept twisting its body, bringing an unparalleled sense of oppression..
The wind around him howled, blowing the fur coat behind him.
He felt a pain on his cheek, and he reached out and touched his face.
A trace of blood ran down his hand.
Even the wind had such a terrifying power.
Facing such a terrifying existence, Vladimir was not panicked at all, and laughed out loud.
"I have never seen such a thing since I was a child."
"It must be something that only gods can make."
He took another puff of the cigar in his mouth, threw it hard on the snow, and stepped on it hard.
"It's a pity that I don't believe in God."
"Tell the other guys to take all the children, the elderly, and the women who can't fight in the territory to the north."
Since the Delin family changed people, and there were politicians like Kefla to deal with them.
The relationship between the Pale Mage Association and the Northern Knights has eased a bit.
And now, they had to seek the protection of the knights of the North.
"Oh, yes, and the little girl Erica."
"She is Levi's child, and she can't be allowed to participate in the battle."
Hearing this, the people behind him became anxious.
"General, what will you do?"
If he could avoid fighting, he definitely didn't want to fight with this kind of thing.
"If this guy can communicate, maybe there will be some explanation."
Unfortunately, the visitor is not kind.
The monster was obviously coming for the Pale Magic Guild.
A gust of cold wind whistled past, mixed with flying snow, and the biting cold forced his cheeks to turn red violently.
He frowned tightly, his eyes fixed on the sky in the distance.
Its huge body tumbled in the air, and the dark scales flashed with evil light. The eyes were as violent as a hurricane, as if to devour everything.
"If I leave, how can I cover your retreat?"
Vladimir grinned, and his smile seemed to be a bit crazy.
"Even if I die, I have to peel off a few skins of this long worm."
The voice echoed in the wind, full of unyielding courage.
The cold wind was biting, snowflakes were flying, and the violent wind and snow were fiercely rolling behind him.
The white hair fluttered in the wind, like a flag, flying high.
He tightly grasped the huge battle axe on his gloves, and the coldness of frost emanated from the axe blade. Even the surrounding air had condensed into ice crystals.
The wind and snow intertwined, the coldness was pervasive, and the tense atmosphere filled the air.
At this moment, he was like a god of war, cold and fearless.
