Chapter 66: The Winter Legion

The leopard is about two meters in size, its stride is graceful, and its body seems to be extremely light, leaving no visible marks even when walking on soft snow.

After changing into [Frost Form], Systm noticed that the leopard was walking straight in his direction, as if the leopard's target was him.

"It's clear that the sound of trees cutting down there is more violent, why are you looking for me?"

Heatham felt the frosty energy gathered around him, perhaps it was the frost fluctuations that gathered in the air that attracted the leopard.

Above the branches, Systm waved his tentacles with some uneasiness, gathering the frost energy in his body, making the [Ice Spikes] on his tentacles sharper and stronger.

If it's an ordinary leopard, it's fine.

At least he hides in the trees, and although the leopard has the ability to climb trees, he is far less agile than he is in the woods, and he may be able to use the powerful [Ice Spike] and [Ice Slime] to kill the leopard.

But it was clear that this leopard was not ordinary, and Systm saw anthropomorphic expressions on the leopard's head, especially the leopard's serene and serene eyes, which reminded him of the feeling he had when he faced an old druid.

"Could it be that this leopard is the old druid's transformation?"

Druids have the ability to transform into various animals, and it is not impossible for them to transform into a giant bear, an eagle, a wolf, or a leopard.

However, Systm felt that this leopard did not look like the old druid, although the eyes were very similar, this leopard did not have the unique aura that the old druid exuded.

If anything, this leopard gave Sistemm the feeling of being controlled by an old druid from a distance.

……

The leopard walked in the direction of Sistem, staring at the oak tree that had been cut down by the goblin giants for a moment.

It didn't take long for it to come to the diagonal underside of the branch where Heatham was and to aim its eyes at Heatham.

The leopard opened its mouth and spoke an unknown language to Systm.

This language is supposed to be the same as when Sistemm heard the words of the goblins and gnolls, and Sistemm only understood one of the words, which was the Lord of the Glacier, and it was clear that the leopard's words were related to the frost dragon.

But what the leopard said about it was impossible to guess what Systm could not guess.

However, although Heatham did not understand such words, he was no longer himself at this time, and he also had the aperture Nellis above his head to act as an interpreter.

Questioning Nylith with a psychic message, Systm soon learns what the leopard is talking about, roughly the Goblin Giant's act of chopping down oak trees with his axe, violating the covenant between the Lord of Glacier and Winter Wonderland, and the forest will be subject to unimaginable disaster.

Hearing Nellis's translation, the head of the Heatham worm took on a strange expression.

Why did the leopard tell him all this in all seriousness?

He didn't cut down this oak tree, he was just a grasshopper who was unlucky enough to gain the power of frost, and then made a pact with Nellis and became a half-hung magical being.

Could it be that he came to him because the frost blood born from the yawn of the Lord of the Glacier was very special and similar to the breath of the Lord of the Glacier?

……

Heatham did not answer the leopard's words above the branches.

His telekinesis does not work against leopards, and he does not have the organs to make sounds.

The leopard, also not far below Sistem's diagonal slope, looked at him at the top of the branch, as if waiting for him to answer.

A tentacle grasshopper and a leopard are silent with each other......

Not long had passed, and Systham's [intuition] suddenly felt something, and he looked up at the sky.

Heatham saw a faint icy blue glow in the clouds of the sky for thousands of meters.

The ice-blue halo in the clouds quickly turned from dim to dazzling, eventually forming a pillar of ice-blue light with a diameter of nearly five meters.

In the blink of an eye, a pillar of light suddenly fell from the sky, and the leopard had been frozen into ice......

"The Covenant? The Covenant had ceased to exist since three hundred years ago. ”

As the pillar of light fell, the deep, majestic voice of the frost dragon came out, slowly echoing in the area around him.

The Glacier Lord's voice was tinged with anger and regret, and Systham felt that there must be some untold story in it.

Sistemm had expected the voice of the Lord of the Glacier to disappear as a result, but he did not expect that after only a short while, the voice of the Lord of the Glacier would reappear.

"Huh, this eye of yours? It's familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere. ”

This time, the voice of the Lord of the Glacier was not so deep, and it seemed to be spoken directly to him face to face, which made Sistemm a little uneasy.

The eye contact with the Frost Dragon, the Frost Dragon may have forgotten, but he will never forget that experience.

Sistemm turned his head slightly, scanning the surroundings, he didn't notice the Glacier Lord's figure, but his body was clearly being watched by the Glacier Lord.

The Lord of the Glacier is arguably the most mysterious being Sistemm has ever seen in this world, even more mysterious than the old druid.

Sistum's body involuntarily trembled slightly, after the third metamorphosis, his [intuition] has always been able to function well, but in front of the glacier lord Ora, he has no effect at all, he can't feel Ora's next move, even if it is good or bad.

Mortal, magical, transcendental, legendary, fantasy......

According to the Ice Elf Nelith, Ora, the Lord of the Glacier, belongs to the fantasy rank, which is far more powerful than the transcendent and legendary rank of ordinary dragons.

Aura possesses unimaginable powers, and he has inherited a part of the Will of Winter, and is the closest being to the God of Winter, and perhaps one of the most powerful beings in this world.

……

Ora, the Lord of the Glacier, scanned Sistm's body back and forth for a few minutes, causing Sistm's trembling body to become numb.

"Why can't I remember, I've seen it somewhere, forget it, your eyes are very good, then join the Winter Legion, maybe the next time I see you, I'll remember when I saw you."

As with the previous meeting, Ola, the Lord of the Glaciers, quickly became impatient and gave up thinking further.

The gaze on Systham's body vanished, and everything calmed down.

……

"Nellis, do you know what the Winter Legion is?" Listening to the words spoken by the Lord of Glacier as he left, Systm sent a spiritual message to the aperture Neris above his head.

Although she had been living in the spiritual world of Sistm, Nellis did not hear the words of Ora, the Lord of the Glacier, to Sistm, and she asked suspiciously, "Winter Legion?" How did you know the name? ”

"Didn't you hear? It was the Lord of the Glacier who just said. Heatham continued.

Systm noticed that the aperture above his head fluttered slightly, and Nellis uttered words of nostalgia or emotion.

"Winter Legion, the legion that guards the will of winter......"

As he waited for Nylise to continue, Systm noticed that the frost energy in the air around him seemed to come alive, forming an ice-blue mist that enveloped him......
