Tia trembled in Alan's arms, not from fear, but from a sharp discomfort that caused her intense uneasiness.

"It doesn't matter if he's forbidden or not, it's the truth before our eyes now!"

Ilt roared angrily. He really should be angry, who is there to face the human who is about to turn into a monster in front of him? The reason why Alan and the others chose to leave the royal city was not only to find the truth of their own existence, nor just to break the curse, but also to simply want to leave here. They want to understand the world and protect it. No matter how weak their own strength is now, it cannot stop them from pursuing hope. However, the cruel status quo in front of him made Allen and everyone present feel as if time had gone back 20 years, and everything was not going in a better direction. The ugly history hidden in the past is still around people even today.

-- How can human suffering be ended?

The teenagers thought about it but never found the answer, but as long as they didn't give up, life was the most precious proof that this world still exists.

"Be careful, everyone!"

Eren and Dusty, who was closest to the leader, stepped back in unison. Seeing that the round hole on the other party's body has swallowed up the flesh. After a brief silence, 'Bang! 'There was an explosion.

The sudden expansion of white light filled the entire field of vision, and the screams and moans were all swallowed up by the loud explosion. The gale that swept through the body was colder than expected, and the biting sensation was accompanied by the explosion of white light that cut through every inch of skin on his body.

Dusty used all his strength to protect his head. Eren protected Thea under him, arched his back, and buried his head in front of his chest. At the moment of the explosion, Gille spread his huge wings, and Ilt rolled over and hid in the safety of the fortress. There were crazy whistling and crackling sounds all around, and everyone tried their best to protect their bodies, and they couldn't think at all.

The aftermath of the explosion faded quickly, even feeling a little sudden, as it did when this explosion came

Tia slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she met was Allen's concerned gaze, and after the two confirmed that they were not injured, they shifted their gaze to the side, but at this moment Dusty looked at the place where the explosion occurred in a daze, and his face was full of shock. Tia only felt that the air around her was cold to the bone, and the air she inhaled into her lungs seemed to freeze her body, and her whole body stiffened. She and Alan followed Dusty's gaze, and the huge wings on one side had also turned into falling feathers and scattered one after another, only the sound of inhaling cold air could be heard, and everyone held their breath.

A huge crater was left in the place where the previous leader was, and all the flowers and trees around it were uprooted and disappeared, and the ground became a smooth slope, and white smoke continued to rise from the center of the huge pit.

"Ilte, are you alright?"

After making sure that Dusty was safe, Eren asked in the direction where Ilt and Chiller were.

"We're fine."

The white smoke blocked each other's vision, and after hearing Ilt's answer, Tia exhaled a breath, but this breath turned out to be miserable, and immediately frightened Tia - how could the forest, which was still full of greenery, suddenly become like a deep winter? Aware of the change in temperature around her, Tia's body shook violently.

-- It's cold.

Tia looked up at the sky, it was still as clear as ever, and the sun was so strong that she couldn't help but squint her eyes. However, the exhaled breath was white, and the body was shaking from the cold, as if the sky was just a realistic oil painting, and the warmth of the sun could not be transmitted to any part of the body. Looking around again, I found that the entire forest seemed to be shrouded in this cold white mist, and everything as far as the eye could see became white. Of course, Tia was not the only one who felt the cold, but Ilte, who also lived in Sunshine City, was also very cold, especially the mechanical arm in his left hand, which seemed to be useless, and swayed weakly on one side. And Dasty, who was born in Dax and lives on the border of Dax all the year round, and Dasty, who lives on the border of Dax, and the ghost clan seem to be better, although he does not tremble, but Allen's lips have also been frozen purple, and Dasty is even more frowning, keeping his whole body tense to resist the cold. Qile waved his wings and rose into the air, using his huge wings to start fanning in the direction of the white smoke.

The white smoke above the crater was blown away by the strong wind, and Alan narrowed his eyes slightly as the thick fog that rolled into a whirlpool dispersed, and then he saw something that sent chills down his spine.

"What's that?"

This sentence is not only a question from Dasty, but a question from everyone present.

In front of me was a four-legged monster, and the reason why even a monster couldn't call it was because it couldn't feel the heartbeat and body temperature that a creature should have. Because what appears there is simply a collection of ice cubes.

――Ice cubes in the shape of monsters.

This is a word that Tia finally summed up in her mind after seeing the thing in front of her. Because it's like a model-like thing made up of countless icicles. The whole is surrounded by sharp sharp angles, and the conical limbs are stuck in the ground, supporting the huge body. The ground seemed to be eroded by limbs, and a thin layer of ice appeared. There was the sound of the monster's 'whirring' breathing, and every time it breathed, a cold wind blew. The white smoke and the surrounding white mist seemed to be caused by this ice beast, and the chilling cold air also emanated from its body.

"Ice Demon"

Dusty called out a name, a name befitting the monster in front of him. Tia shivered in Alan's arms, and the sudden cold made her unable to resist her thin clothes for a while.

"What the hell is this, I've never seen anything like this, is this a demon?"

Tia exhaled a white mist, and her mind began to think,

"Fire Elf, burn the scorching flames and melt the snow and ice all over the ground."

Tia summoned the spirit of fire to keep everyone warm so that they wouldn't freeze. But as soon as the fire elves were summoned, as soon as the little elves touched the cold air on the ground, they immediately turned into sparks and disappeared into the air!

"How so?!"

Tia's eyes widened, and she looked at the ice beast in disbelief.

"It seems that ordinary fire magic has no effect on this monster, and I don't know if our sword can hurt it."

Alan frowned, looking at the monster's hard shell, and couldn't help but be a little worried. (To be continued.) )
