Chapter 276: D97. Fantasy_2

"Forbidden Melting Peak surrounds the Central Volcano on the highland, true to its name, the entire mountain range is composed of rocks that are difficult to melt, acting like a dam storing water.

"If the volcano erupts, Forbidden Melting Peak will become the first barrier to hold back the devastation. It is said, this is also a part of the ancient seal."

"Seal... A man-made mountain range?" The Cruising bishop couldn’t hide his surprise at his sudden realization.

"Unclear," the Sergeant shook his head.

"We are also unsure whether it was a defensive line built by ancient humankind to counter the Great Demon or Nature’s own suppression of the Great Demon. The era is too far gone for us to conduct a detailed investigation under the conditions of the highland.

"What is clear, however, is that whatever the original purpose of the Black Gate Sect was, there’s probably no opportunity left now, so all they can do is..."

After explaining to the Cruising bishop, the Sergeant’s expression turned serious.

"Let’s hurry up. Although we have the advantage in military strength, the enemy isn’t the kind to confront us head-on."

The vastness and complex terrain of the highland make it difficult for the plans of the Black Gate to proceed smoothly, and just a brief interference from them nearly ruins everything, but this doesn’t mean that Nature is the Kingdom’s ally.

If it were a head-on battle, the Sergeant would not fear a Bomber who has not reached the Fourth Transition in the slightest.

However, the reason the Black Gate has been able to dominate in the Kingdom’s shadow without being destroyed is precisely because these practitioners of Space Magic often avoid getting surrounded.

The reason the Border Count has sent him, one of the highest combat forces, to lead an elite team deep into the highland, is clearly not just to deal with ordinary Black Gate Sect Followers.

Yes, in the worst-case scenario...

"Fallen Phoenix..."

The dark box on his back trembled slightly, the Ghost Warrior, who had killed countless Magic Creatures, bowed his head with a resolute look in his eyes.

At the same time, atop the snowy highland mountains, by the Near Heaven Ice Lake.

Here, the clear blue sky seems just within reach, the worldly noise is far away and isolated, with only the silent wind echoing gently, bringing a frosted and moist breath.

Unaware of the intense chase unfolding on the other side of the mountain between the Black Gate and the Border Guards, the Hero, accompanied by the Frost Matron and the Snow Woman Archer, has once again arrived at the shore of this ice lake.

Although the water level of the lake has dropped considerably since before, the lake has now regained its tranquil azure calmness, the waters clear, like the surface of a frozen mirror, occasionally rippled with a ripple.

This scene could certainly inspire Bards to wax lyrical in emotion, tears streaming on the spot, but it couldn’t calm the Hero’s somewhat anxious heart.

Strictly speaking, her association with White Snake was only a brief encounter, not close enough to be considered an intimate relationship.

She and her Snow Woman sister have gotten to know each other through exchanges, but White Snake... maybe it’s just me who frivolously regards her as a friend?

What should I say if she asks why I’m trying so hard?

The Hero self-consciously feels her motivation is not pure; her strenuous journey here was not so much to help White Snake and the Snow Woman, but rather a settlement of past obsessions for her own satisfaction.

Although the Hero doesn’t think that what she is doing is bad, she can’t help feeling uneasy.

However, before she could sort out her thoughts, the tranquility of the ice lake is broken as a large White Snake emerges from the water, coming to face the Hero.

Her scales have returned to being flawless white, barely distinguishable from the snowy landscape, White Snake’s pure blue eyes narrow slightly; she lowers her head to look the Hero in the eye.

Then, a gentle voice resonates in the Hero’s heart.

"We meet again, Xiao Qing."

After White Snake appears, both the Frost Matron and the Snow Woman Archer slightly bow their heads.

While Magic Creatures and Demons do not have the same formal etiquette as humankind, the class disparity between Species is even more harsh and insurmountable. Even though the Frost Matron is the ruler of the Snowfield, on this land, all beings are clear about who is the true sovereign of the Snow Domain.

White Snake symbolizes the oldest and most powerful force of the Snow Domain and the mountains. Her presence is not only an object of worship by the Snow Woman Clan, but she is also the origin of this Snow Domain.

And at the feet of the Hero, the Gleaming Scale Serpent looks up with shock, gazing at this overwhelmingly strong peer of its own kind.

D100=d100(100)=100

"...No, perhaps I shouldn’t call you that anymore."

But at the moment, the true king of the Snow Domain, White Snake, just looks at the girl inches away with emotion.

"Thank you, Hero."

That gentle voice, like a breeze, disperses the unease in the Hero’s heart, making her smile shyly.

White Snake’s icy blue eyes reflect the face of the Hero.

The first time she met the Hero, the other party was neither a transformation of Phoenix nor had any significant Strength, just a Magician with the special ability to transform into a Green Snake.

It was merely because of the Hero’s transformation that she took a liking to her that she granted her some Magic Power.

However, that was but a momentary kindness, White Snake had hardly considered it thereafter.
