Chapter 811: Chapter 426 ’Dead’ Ice and Snow Queen_2
She fell silent for a few minutes, then suddenly turned to Ivita and said, "My Heart Eye tells me to go straight in this direction. But as I crossed the valley, the Heart Eye then told me to go back."
"Come back to the front of the valley."
"But standing before the valley, both the Heart Eye and my hunting instincts urged me to move forward. Ivita, do you know what’s happening?"
Before Ivita could speak, the Hearthstone Witch shuddered, "This means that this place is concealed by magic. It must be powerful magic, your majesty. Shall we leave this place and discuss this further later?"
"I always feel there is something complicated about this place."
Ivita gave the Hearthstone Witch a meaningful look, almost as if she were speaking nonsense.
This revealed how deeply the person behind the scenes was affecting her mind.
It was right to come and find the person behind the scenes on her own.
She worried that if the Hearthstone Witch delayed for a few more days, she would go insane just like those high-level professionals who entered Ambros had.
Ivita stated, "I just checked, Miss Kristin, this is a little trick favored by witches and wizards. The witches in Ambros are generally not this powerful, so it’s normal that you wouldn’t know."
Ivita locked onto the Concelment Curse magic in the valley with the Light Soul.
He placed his hand in the void, then after a sound like shattering glass continued intermittently, an invisible barrier shattered and tilted like mercury, exposing a different valley to everyone present.
Whereas it had been spring in the original valley, it had now transformed directly into winter.
Harsh winter had taken over, everywhere was covered in ice, some of which was even black.
Ivita suddenly thought, opened a Dark Door instantly, and used the Hand of Mana to grab both the Hearthstone Witch and Kristin into it.
Kristin exclaimed, "Ivita?"
The next moment, the three of them appeared a thousand meters away from the valley in a dense forest, and they all saw the land where they originally stood sprout an icy rock shaped like the Black Iceberg Crown;, all the trees that touched the icy rock quickly died, the life not lingering for a moment longer.
Kristin’s eyes widened in horror, "Is this the methods you witches and wizards use? The creatures of the night are much gentler in comparison."
Ivita’s face turned grim.
He recognized this black ice; he had once fought the Lich Lord who used black ice magic in a vanished domain.
It was a combination of Undead Magic and Ice magic.
Now that he thought about it, it actually represented the Winter Law.
The entity that was sealed within the valley was closely related to the Winter Law.
From the valley, thirteen black tendrils made of both shattering ice and death magic stretched out; these tendrils, upon touching the soil, would instantly absorb life from microorganisms in the soil, thereby destroying the fertility of the land.
When the tendrils touched trees, they would cause them to wither.
When touched the sky, they could even erode voids in the heavens.
"Give me... I need more... I want more..." the entity lying in the valley seemed to awaken from Ivita’s magic. "Hurry, feed me, I need more."
Ivita used the Flying Spell to lift the two of them into mid-air, overlooking the valley, only to see that the previously ordinary valley was now streaming with terrifying death magic and ice magic from its fissures.
A woman, neither alive nor dead, lay quietly in the valley.
But she had only her left half, sleeping in the valley on a bed made of magic energy, her handsome and beautiful face was unforgettable at a glance.
If one only observed her from one direction, the observer would conclude that she was one of the rare beauties of the world, whose allure was enough to make suitors hesitate even in her slumber.
But Ivita, looking down, saw firsthand that she had only the left half of her body.
She was like a woman hollowed out from within.
The Hearthstone Witch whispered to Ivita, "I have seen her. I have seen her; she never noticed me. This person is the ruler of the Northern Winter Law territory, the Ice and Snow Queen."
"The Ice and Snow Queen hasn’t walked for a long time. I didn’t expect that she was sealed. This is too tragic. Has she been split into two parts?"
Ivita pointed out an issue. "If that woman really is the Ice and Snow Queen, then she hasn’t been divided into two parts either. Did you see her eyeballs? Half of her body now lacks eyeballs. Someone took away her eyes. Is she the one who’s been secretly watching us from behind?"
The Hearthstone Witch shook her head. "How could this be possible? Who could make her into this? She was sealed. Look at the sealing formations surrounding the valley."
Ivita also noticed that around the valley, there were eight stones emerging from the ground as if they had naturally formed.
These stones together constituted a very ancient and powerful sealing magic—the Octave Seal.
But there was more to it, including some unique strengths Ivita had never seen before.
While Ivita was distracted, the Ice and Snow Queen, who was only half a body in the valley, suddenly began to swing her left hand and foot wildly. Her face, once dignified and exquisite, now appeared very angry. "Give me food. Hurry up and give me food, do you want to starve me?"
"Hurry up and give me food!"
With her cry of anger, dozens of tendrils, created by a combination of undead magic and ice magic, attacked everything around the valley.
These tendrils were still sucking the life energy from their surroundings.
All this life energy returned to her, maintaining her unchanged appearance and trying to heal her injuries, allowing her to grow the other half of her body back.
But the life energy of just the soil and the trees was very low.
Thus, as soon as her other half had somewhat recovered, it collapsed naturally due to just being a form and her body returned to its original state.
"I need to eat, I need more things to eat." The Ice and Snow Queen instinctually used her magic to capture more life energy to fuel her recovery, even trying to break the seal while unconscious.
Ivita saw the Octave Seal resonating quietly, penetrating into the minds of living beings and then inducing panic in them, causing them to continually stay away.
But the Ice and Snow Queen, in her attempt to restore herself, seemed to send out mental thoughts, bewitching the life forms that came near and trying to pull them closer.
Ivita finally understood why there was a risk of madness among Ambros’s high-level professionals. It turned out that the conflict between this seal and the power of the Ice and Snow Queen caused the professionals to be unable to locate the source and unable to escape from the conflicting forces inside their brains.
Finding the source would require at least a fourth-level Hunter, who never existed before, but this hunter also had to be a genius to comprehend a skill that a fourth-level hunter wouldn’t normally know—the "Heart Eye."
Even with such a hunter, a Witch Marquis would still be needed to break the magic enveloping the valley.
Ivita pondered. "I’m afraid it’s not that no one knows about this place, it’s just that the ones who know have no need to tell the public, and the public has no means to find out about these things."
While Ivita was thinking, the tendrils from the Ice and Snow Queen suddenly attacked him.
Ivita dared not directly contact the Ice and Snow Queen’s magic and immediately used the Dark Door to teleport away from the spot.
But the tendrils still followed Ivita, drawing even closer to him.
Ivita mentally noted, "The person who’s been watching me from the shadows all this time must be this Ice and Snow Queen’s magic. As long as my power exceeds a certain limit, it should break the spatial distance and attack me directly."
"I can’t shake it off now."
Ivita again tried to use the Dark Door to teleport, but the tendril kept following right behind him, constantly narrowing the distance.
Facing the danger, Kristin furrowed his brows, ready to act at any moment to help Ivita.
The Hearthstone Witch had a sudden idea. "Let it take some of your magic power and see if it will retreat on its own."
Thinking it made sense, Ivita casually threw a Hand of Magic at the tendril. After receiving the magic power, the tendril indeed satisfied itself and quickly retracted.
The Hearthstone Witch said, "Just as I thought. Right now, the Ice and Snow Queen is like a living dead. She mentally knows how much magic power it takes for the tentacle to return to her body once."
Ivita looked back at the queen in the valley with a grim expression. "This really does pose a dilemma for me. Why did this guy suddenly come to Ambros from the North? Just to trouble me specifically?"
"Could it be that when the Northern Undead invaded the South in the past, the Ice and Snow Queen was defeated here and had her body divided and suppressed?"
"But now the most important thing is how to prevent her from threatening me."
