A group of shadow archers appeared in front of Suho, standing proudly with black steam billowing.
In their hands were bows made of shadows, and at the command of the guardian, they drew the bowstrings without hesitation towards the enemies.
Swaaaah!
At that moment, several shadow arrows were produced from their bows.
“oh my god.”
Sirka, who realized their true identity, could not help but be shocked.
“To take back the soul that was stolen by the spirits!”
The souls of the ice elves were finally freed through true death.
And now Sirka finally realized the true meaning of the words ‘son of Chacha’.
Chacha, no, Cha Hae-in’s husband, Sung Jin-woo.
He is the one who rules over death.
The king who rules over death.
‘Shadow Lord’
And the fact that the one who inherited his blood was Seong Su-ho.
“All forces advance.”
At the command of the Guardian, the Black Archers aimed their bows at the enemies.
* * *
On the other hand, in contrast to Suho, who is attacking the Echo Forest from the outside… … .
The scavenger hunters who came in with Suho had already been wandering deep into the Echo Forest for quite some time.
Shushu shu shu shu shush!
Ice arrows flying from all directions.
“Here it comes again, damn it!”
“Stop it!”
“We can’t stop them this time! There are too many of them!”
“Then, first, behind that tree… … !”
Unlike Suho, who fell alone, these two fell into the Echo Forest from the beginning.
If Suho hadn’t tried to glide through the blizzard with a storm slash while falling, he might have fallen this way from the beginning.
However, even though it wasn’t in the same way as Suho, they were able to calmly and successfully land with their lives intact, each in their own way.
Anyway, these are the members of the guild of scavengers representing the United States.
Just being a member there was proof of their skills.
But even after landing safely, they didn’t have a moment to catch their breath.
At that moment, as if they had been waiting, ice spirits began to attack them from all directions.
“… … An ice elf possessed by a spirit.”
Likewise, Essil, who had fallen into the Echo Forest and was continuing the battle, clicked her tongue as she looked at the possessed ice elves.
With an expression of utter bewilderment.
“What a sight. The Yetis were eaten by ice spirits? How weak were they in their lifetime?”
If the King of the Snowmen, the Lord of the Cold, were to see this sight right now, he would not be able to close his eyes peacefully even after death.
“A Yeti who specializes in spirit magic is not only unable to command spirits, but is instead having their souls eaten.”
The demon noble Essil knew very well the true terror of the ‘Yetis’.
Ice elf warriors who went into battle in the War of the Lords were always accompanied by the protection of the ice spirits.
So, even if they held a bow or any weapon in their hands, all of their attacks were imbued with the ‘curse of the cold’.
If you get hit by an arrow they shoot, that area will freeze.
When you get cut by the blades swinging from their hands, no blood spurts, and the cut surface is completely frozen.
If you accumulate just a few of those cold and ruthless attacks, your opponent’s whole body will start to freeze and their movements will become slower.
As such, the Ice Elves were warriors who displayed even more incredible power the longer the fight lasted.
‘If it weren’t for the Ice Bear robe I received from Suho, I might have been in danger… … .’
Damn it!
“Aww! My arm is broken! Healer! Healer!”
“W-Wait! I’m going now… …!”
During the fierce battle, one of the scavenger hunters suffered a casualty whose body part was shattered by an ice arrow.
At that moment, Essil’s eyes sparkled.
Once it got to that point, it was impossible to heal the wound using normal methods.
Swack!
Eshil quickly approached the injured hunter and grabbed the wound on his shoulder with one hand.
“Kwaaak!”
“Hold on. You have to extract all the cold air that has penetrated your blood vessels before you can be cured.”
Bloodstone creation.
Swish!
As the Hunter screamed in pain, Eshil quickly pulled the frozen bloodstone out of his wound.
Then he gave an order to the healer who had just arrived next to him.
“Now regenerate a new arm! The others too! First, I have to cut out all the frozen wounds, and then I have to heal them!”
“Yes, yes!”
In this melee, the healer found himself unknowingly obeying the demon noble’s orders due to her charisma.
And that charisma completely influenced other hunters.
“Everyone, don’t get hit by arrows, and don’t even get grazed by them! Even a slight graze will cause the curse of the bitter cold to seep into your body!”
Since there were many hunters with very strong bodies in the scavengers, there were many hunters who fought by just taking attacks with their bodies.
But if you happen to get hit between the armors by a blind arrow, it’s a fatal hit at that moment.
Essil encouraged the scavenger hunters in this way, and gradually increased his power by gathering his scattered comrades one by one.
Of course, among the hunters, there were some A-class hunters who were stronger than Essil, but even so, their experience level was only two years since they became hunters.
The charisma displayed by the demon noble Essil, who has lived fiercely in the demon world since birth and has been eaten, was not comparable to that of human hunters in the first place.
As a result of helping each other and joining forces.
As the numbers on this side increased, the situation that had initially been one-sidedly chased gradually became stable.
“Are you slowly getting used to it?!”
“Anyway, you can just destroy it all!”
“But where on earth did our guild leader go!”
“Thomas! Thomas Andre! Can you hear us?”
As we began to breathe a little easier, we began to seriously look for our most important core player, Thomas Andre.
But it wasn’t easy at all.
With the snowstorm swirling all around me, I felt dizzy.
“Where on earth did Suho fall?”
Essil was trying to find the spirit of protection rather than Thomas Andre.
Then suddenly.
Creepy.
“What, what is it!”
Eshil suddenly felt a creepy sensation and raised his head in panic.
Whioooooo!
As I wandered aimlessly through the forest, I soon found myself in a whirlwind of gray snow.
“… …gray eyes?”
Essil’s eyes widened.
‘No! This isn’t snow!’
Essil was a demon who was fundamentally accustomed to blood and corpses, so he could be sure.
“This is… … ash! Ash from the burnt corpse is flying around, mixing in with the snow!”
In this bitter cold, the corpse didn’t freeze but burned?
It wasn’t such a simple matter.
Because the identity of the energy felt from this tiny speck of gray ash like dust made me feel truly absurd fear.
“Could this be… a dragon?”
The aura of the dragon was clearly felt in the gray ash.
Eshil, who realized the identity, was startled and looked around urgently.
But there was nothing to see, and only one thing could be guessed.
slap!
Essil’s gaze pierced the direction where the gray ash was swirling more and more.
“Somewhere over there, a dimensional rift has opened up! And it leads to the world of dragons… …!”
No, maybe it was a completely different world.
Because the war between the Shadow Army led by Sung Jin-woo and the monarchs took place in all dimensions along the dimensional rift.
And no matter how much I thought about it, the only being who could kill the entire ‘dragon’ species so brutally that it was reduced to ashes was actually Sung Jin-woo.
Surely it is not possible for dragons of the same species to fight each other.
‘This is… … not good.’
Essil had an ominous feeling.
If you were to pick the most dangerous of all the races living across all dimensions, there would be only two.
Giants and dragons.
In particular, the bodies of the Dragon Clan were armed with tremendous magical power and authority, and the bones and corpses they left behind after death were treasures of immense power in and of themselves.
‘But the corpses turned into ashes and were scattered all over the ground like this?’
This is absolutely not good.
‘The curse of the dead dragon was spreading across this land!’
Eshil looked back at the hunters who were urgently fighting the forest spirits and shouted.
“Go back the way you came! We have to get out of here as fast as we can!”
“What? Why are you suddenly like that?”
“This forest is cursed! These gray eyes… … !”
That was when.
For a split second, a silhouette passed through the gray snowstorm in Eshil’s field of vision.
“… … !”
For a moment, Eshil’s eyes filled with shock.
“It’s a dragon!”
The silhouette was that of a giant dragon.
The shadow of a dragon with its large wings spread wide was fluttering beyond the gray snowstorm!
And the Scavenger’s hunters who saw that sight couldn’t help but be terrified.
“crazy.”
“Hey, what is that?”
“A dragon!”
Among the demons that have appeared on Earth in the past two years, there has never been a single instance of a race called a dragon.
There were gargoyles that looked like dragons, but even they were not that big.
“We have to run away!”
“Ah! Where on earth did Thomas Andre go at a time like this?”
“Retreat! Retreat!”
“We can’t do it alone!”
The hunters hurriedly retreated before Essil’s order was even completed.
When I looked at that dragon, I realized that ice golems were really nothing.
But how much of a commotion did they cause on their way here?
It was a fight to survive, but the noise seemed to have upset the dragon that was quietly sleeping deep in the forest.
“……shit.”
Eshil, who was retreating while watching the dragon, swallowed dry saliva.
The dragon flying over the blizzard suddenly turned towards us.
And then he opened his mouth wide and let out a roar full of life.
At that moment.
Grrrrrrrrrr-!
“… … !”
“… … !”
Dragon Fear.
A suffocating and horrible murderous aura engulfed their entire bodies.
At that moment, everyone’s bodies froze stiffly on the spot.
I just realized it.
A frog in front of a snake.
That they were nothing more than prey before that mighty being.
But in that critical situation.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeek-
They could see.
Just then, a new dragon flew in next to the dragon that was flying towards its prey through the snowstorm and collided with it.
Tuqwaang!
“… … !”
“… … !”
And the bodies of the hunters caught in the enormous shockwave that erupted in all directions were helplessly thrown backwards.
But even at this moment, Eshil, who had been holding onto her senses tightly, was able to clearly see the scene unfolding before her with her own two eyes.
And then his eyes opened wide as if they were going to pop out.
“… … W, really?!”
I just saw it.
The second dragon that appeared had its entire body shimmering with black steam.
And is it an optical illusion?
Someone was riding on that dragon’s back.
The distance was too far and the snowstorm made it difficult to see the detailed face, but the silhouette was…
It was a woman holding a dagger in both hands.
