Chapter 304 Troublesome.
Chapter 304 Troublesome.
"What the hell happened here? These monsters are not weaklings..." A man asked with sweat on his face even though it was frozen cold. "Over there. It's the same monster that we fought from the previous rift, the Frosthorn Wolf," he added and looked at the white wolf twenty meters tall, white as snow with long four icicle horns on its forehead.
"What we fought was a lot smaller than this one. It can be said that we fought the young wolf, but this one is like the adult one," A woman with short purple hair said and looked at the corpse of the Frosthorn Wolf. "It took all of us to kill one, but if that man killed this on his own, how strong can he be?" she asked as she gulped.
"Not to mention none of these bodies have any wounds on them. They're not unconscious either, they're all dead," A man in fit armor pointed out after he checked the bodies around him. "How did they die?" he asked with a troubled and anxious expression.
"We can know the answer once we find that man. For now let's keep moving and track where he went," The paladin man said as he led the whole group forward.
They all followed him and looked at the corpses and they found more dead bodies of the adult Frosthorn Wolves as they tracked where Mykel went. They were nervous, in disbelief, and terrified by the man who killed all of those monsters on his own.
When they walked miles away, they kept seeing dead bodies and there was no sign of Mykel. Their hearts were racing and the further they walked, the more dead bodies of unknown monsters that were as big as the wolves around them. They were so nervous and anxious that the cold didn't bother them anymore.
"Shh!" The paladin put his index finger on his lips as he signaled to everyone to stop moving.
They stood still and listened to their surroundings, and then they could hear a faint roaring sound in the far distance. The moment they heard that, they all ran toward it as fast as they could to meet Mykel.
They ran through the forest and got rid of the frozen bushes as they didn't care anymore if they made loud noises. They ran as fast as they could, but then the paladin stopped because he saw a frozen lake in front of him. The others stood right behind him and they all made the same expression, shocked by what they saw.
Hundreds of gigantic monsters were scattered on the frozen lake and they saw Mykel walking so casually with hundreds of Frosthorn Wolves in front of him. The wolves were whimpering as they took steps back when Mykel approached them. When one of the wolves decided to fight, before it could reach him, the wolf collapsed and died.
All the Awakeners were dumbfounded as to what had happened to the wolf, but then they saw more and more of the wolves collapse. They finally got one of the answers on how the monsters died without a single wound on their bodies. When they watched Mykel, they saw him looking over his shoulder and glanced at them.
"He came here in a suit?" A man crossed his arms with his eyebrows furrowed. He was the leader of the Jenevive Guild with a long spear in his left hand. "Does any of you know who that man is?" he asked and looked over his shoulders.
His guild members shook their heads and the others behind them also shook their heads.
Everyone entered the palace and they were affected by frostbite, but thankfully the potions that they had prepared were enough to remove the frostbite. They all then carefully explored the palace, and there was no monster inside which only made everyone more anxious.
"This is the only door left that we haven't checked, and by the look of it, this door might lead to the main hall which only means one thing," Alaric said as he looked at the ice door with carvings on it.
"Alion is behind this door, waiting for us," Devlin responded.
Everyone was busy building up the courage to open the door, but suddenly Mykel kicked the door open because he had no time to wait. The moment the door was blasted open, a cold chill came out and struck everyone's faces. The cold was too powerful even the potion couldn't stop the frostbite and their feet were frozen and became one with the ground.
The mist was blocking Mykel's vision, but then he squinted his eyes and dispersed the mist in front of him. When he could see the demon that resided in the palace, he was quite surprised when he saw the demon.
"Remember what I said? The reward is inside this world, and you can say that this is one of your rewards if you do well," Aevia said as she put her hands on Mykel's shoulders from behind.
Mykel looked at Kiersha who was sitting on the throne of ice, but she had two long icicle horns. Her gaze was as cold as the ice enough to make everyone's blood freeze when they looked at her eyes.
"You're saying, all the mess that happened in this world. It was all because of my own people?" Mykel asked as he walked down the hall.
"Remember when you were drowned? The abyss inside your body got washed up in the current," Aevia answered as she stood right behind Mykel and kept holding his shoulders. "Let's just say that I accidentally stole their souls and put them inside the clock," she added with a huge smile that could be seen behind the white cloth.
"So, you're telling me to get rid of the accident in this world where the accident itself was created by my own people?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.
"Something like that, yes. Also, you can either kill them or take them with you back once it's over," Aevia answered and acted innocent. "But you need to remember. They were bathed in the current as well, so they're not the same as the ones you knew. You need to be careful and of course, have fun," she continued.
"So a bunch of troublemakers," Mykel sighed as he flicked the cigarette. "But I might enjoy this," he continued and stared into Alion's eyes with a smirk on his face.
"And I'll be watching from here," Aevia chuckled.
