Chapter 144: The battle rests
An avalanche of scale swept through several neighborhoods of the city, and ironically, the Malthus-induced avalanche helped cleanse the city of some of its evils, causing heavy losses to the undead legions gathered here thanks to the Soul Seat.
But there was really nothing to rejoice about, after all, those undead had all been residents of this city before that.
The avalanche swept through the streets with unrivalled force, collapsing houses, crumbling wagons, and destroying the dead.
The snow turned into white waves and roared in the city, and Charlotte and the others used their magic powers to block the avalanche. In the aftermath of the disaster, several blocks were reduced to snow-colored flats, and near the edge of the snowfield, only the skull of a bone dragon was half buried.
The skull shook slightly, and the scepter bone dragon let out a breath that didn't contain any attacking breath, just blowing the snow around it away. Soon, screams could be heard in the snow.
Moon shuddered, so he was blown away by the scepter bone dragon's spit. The Wandbone Dragon scoffed, shaking its now larger and larger body, and along with it, it also rescued its comrades from the snow.
"Hmm-Jane, it's colder than Icewind Castle!" a lovely and immature female voice trembled, and a lovely fairy flew onto the head of the scepter and burrowed into the hole in its ear, "Quinn! Quinn, warm me with your soul fire!"
ββ¦β¦ I'm Eagle Scepter, not Quinn. The Scepter Bone Dragon seemed to be quite helpless, "And my soul fire can't warm you......"
"Hmm! it's getting colder!" the goblin shivered as if he was about to cry, "Gram, Claire, help!"
However, it was not Claire who caught her, but another silver-haired young girl with an IQ of (9). Elle held the goblin in her hand in a flash, and grinned and breathed hot air at her.
"Lily, long time no see!"
"Whoa! the silver-haired demon is going to eat peopleβ"
"Shut up, you two idiots!"
"You're going to have to shut up, Bone Scumbag Quinn!" Al retorted unhappily.
"It's all said I'm not called Quinn!" the scepter dragon, known as Quinn, shook its head in disgust.
Elle pulled her eyelids, "Don't you deny it, didn't even Claire call you Quinn?"
"That's just for convenience, and since Lily gave him a name, I'll call it that. On the other side of the snow, Claire said as she patted the snow on her body, and then he reached out to the slightly bulging snow next to her, "Are you going to spend the winter in it?" β
"No......" Snow moved, and then Charlotte's muffled voice came, "I'm just being weighed down by this bastard." Please, take the Broken Mouth Assassin up, good brother!"
Claire laughed as he helped clear the snow, and in the process, Neham, Zenas, Elbert and others came up one after another. The first person to come out greeted Claire, except for Moon and General Verus, everyone present had known Claire in some way.
"Quinn, that's a good name!" Charlotte, who finally came out of the snow, kicked Judson in the ass, and greeted Eagle Scepter and the goblin Lily, "Lily, long time no see!"
Lily, who returned to Claire's side, hid in Claire's collar and nodded to Charlotte like a little adult, "His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, long time no see!"
Charlotte smiled and nodded, and then asked Claire, "So, you are the one that Malthus and Gloria are trying to deal with?"
"If nothing else...... Claire shrugged, "I guess so." β
Charlotte threw a punch in his shoulder socket and laughed, "I'm relieved to do that!
"You're great, too!" Claire slammed Charlotte's shoulder socket as well, "Looks like you've finally got the Shadow Orb." Are they your red eyes?"
"yes!"
"Pretty good for you. β
"If you know how powerful it is, you don't just say two words that fit for you. β
"It's okay, the next thing I have is time to listen to your bragging. β
"I'd like to know how you deal with the bones in the far north. Charlotte pretended to be angry, "May your bones be as clean as ever!"
"you! Charlotte. β
Two best friends who hadn't seen each other for many years smiled and hugged each other.
"I'm sorry for interrupting the communication between the two of you best friends. Neam interrupted the conversation, "But don't you think we have more important things to do now, like purging the city of the remaining undead?"
"And saving the survivors. Elbert added.
Zenas glanced at Elbert, "That's exactly what I was trying to say. β
Charlotte shrugged, "So, the game continues?"
"Why not?" said Claire.
"But before that, Al, I'm grateful that you're here to help me, but what about Vivien and Lolita? are they alright?"
"Rest assured, they and my disciple Leonard are staying in a safe place. β
"Then I'm relieved. Come on, the game begins! Let's see who of us can clear out more of the undead and who can save more of the survivors. β
"I'm sure you won't beat me, you know, I'm an expert in my field. β
"Hah! Then we'll see. β
When you're with Claire, it's like time goes back in time. Even if the undead natural disaster is about to break out, even if the affairs of Evan and Fei Wenli are still overwhelming. But now, right now! Charlotte felt extremely relaxed.
It's like even if you face a big thing, you know that there are brothers who can share it with you. And unlike Sylvia, who also cares about you, you don't have to worry about this brother misunderstanding and understanding what you're doing, because his way of thinking is almost the same as your own.
However, no matter how happy Charlotte was, it couldn't change his subsequent defeat.
In the race against Claire, he lost without any suspense. Even though he now has the Eye of Vientiane and his own combat power is far greater than it was back then, his attainments in the realm of necromancy and spells are even more different from Claire.
Today, Claire has grown rapidly in the Soul Seat, and he has become a pivotal force in the Soul Seat after achieving the Eight Rings as early as a year ago. In terms of attainments in the field of necromancy and spells alone, he is definitely not weaker than Charlotte's achievements in the field of illusion and mind at this moment.
However, the so-called competition is just a way for friends to distance themselves and test each other's recent growth. It has long been said that Charlotte and Claire are not only the closest partners, but also rivals who admire each other.
In fact, not only Charlotte and Claire, but also Elbert and Zenas are also faintly competing. Without the manipulation of Malthus and Gloria, the group quickly cleared out the large number of dead in Dominco's city in such an atmosphere of competition between each other and comparing each other. The remaining remnants of the undead can only be handed over to the soldiers of the lighthouse to clean up.
And after that, no matter how hostile they are to each other, they have to get together to exchange information and cooperate with each other to face the impending undead disaster.
