Chapter 218: Tacit Understanding

The King of the North Ulyssan’s scream rapidly became a roar. Outside the cave, a blizzard immediately rose, so violent that one could not see anything beyond five meters.

The howling wind carried dense “goose feathers,” filling every inch of space in a wild flurry. At the same time, an ice-blue halo rapidly expanded, spreading outward along the ground. Everything it touched froze from bottom to top into an ice sculpture.

Klein’s vision and hearing were both affected by the blizzard, but a corresponding image suddenly surfaced in his mind. He hurriedly bent his knees, exerted strength through his ankles, and leaped straight upward, allowing the ice-blue halo to sweep past beneath him.

Mobet Zoroast, who was not especially skilled in combat, discovered the ice-blue halo only when it was already quite close, leaving him no time to jump.

At that moment, someone grabbed his shoulder and yanked him upward. Beneath his feet, a violent hurricane surged into the air. Combining both forces, he was passively flung high, avoiding the fate of being frozen.

Mobet turned his head and unsurprisingly saw Siatas’s stern face. Because flight was prohibited here, the elven singer could only control the gale and slowly glide forward.

Anderson, Edwina, Snowman, and Longzel each reacted in their own ways, jumping in time and avoiding the attack without much danger. Only the giant Groselle had just freed himself from the snowdrift while carrying his broad sword when he encountered the ice-blue halo. Unable to dodge in time, his feet were touched by it.

A thick layer of ice crystals instantly surged upward. Groselle froze in place like a corpse locked in ice for ten thousand years.

Woo!

The exaggerated blizzard blocked the Beyonders’ vision, making them completely lose their lock on the frost dragon Ulyssan. They could only defend passively against attacks.

At that moment, Snowman, the ascetic who had not yet landed, once again opened both arms. In a solemn voice, he spoke in ancient Hermes:

“God says: it is ineffective!”

The raging blizzard instantly subsided considerably. Whether violent hurricane or dense goose-feather snow, all were weakened out of thin air, or nearly half of them disappeared.

Vaguely, Siatas saw a huge, ugly lizard-like face. Part of the broken long arrow remained embedded in its forehead.

The frost dragon Ulyssan had used the previous opportunity to close the distance between both sides!

Siatas did not panic. The gale abruptly changed direction, pushing her and Mobet backward. At the same time, her lips, pale from cold, opened, and she sang in ancient, obscure Elvish:

“Reefs shall be torn apart by waves;

“Great trees shall be felled by storms;

“Mountains shall be shattered by thunder…”

Because each Elvish word was rich with meaning, the sentences they formed were extremely brief. These lines did not take Siatas much time to sing. And from the very first word, from the moment the beautiful yet forceful melody began to emerge, the wind inside the blizzard changed!

The howling wind instantly became chaotic, scattering in all directions. The enormous body of the King of the North Ulyssan reappeared before Klein and the others.

As Siatas sang the third word, the Punishment Knight Longzel had already extended his right palm and spoken in a deep voice in ancient Hermes:

“Imprison!”

In an instant, the frost dragon that was about to crash into Siatas and Mobet solidified in place. Around it seemed to appear layer after layer of transparent walls.

At almost the same time as Longzel’s low command, Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina, who had just steadied herself, suddenly saw her pale-blue eyes turn black. Inside them flowed a viscous liquid that seemed formed from every evil thought at the bottom of a living being’s heart.

Her right palm only lightly clenched, and the King of the North Ulyssan roared as it reared upright, instantly tearing apart the effect of Imprison.

The frost…
