Chapter 56: The Enrollment Mission of the Apostolic Order (I)
The howling wind and snow swept across the land with a biting cold, and it was the northern land in December, when the angels were away, and belonged to the season when the beautiful goddess of ice, Siva, ruled.
In this snowy land where everything is silent and not even a bird can be seen, a small group is searching for prey.
There were not many members of this small group, and almost all of them were women, and in this white and snowy land, it was as insignificant as a small dot. It seemed that a single storm of the magnitude would have drowned them all in the snow.
A demon leopard lurking in the snow also thinks so, and it knows a lot about humans as creatures. Based on its hunting experience, the more people a team has, the more likely it is to starve. On the contrary, the kind of human who walks alone in the snow is often a very scary monster.
A few months ago, it had seen a blue-eyed girl with a small appearance and a large sword on her back slaughtering the snow bears near her lair. Of course, the biggest reason why those stupid people couldn't recognize the situation and attacked that monster girl en masse was the biggest reason.
Sneaking, sneaking, using his natural stealth ability, the snow-white snow leopard silently followed to the back of the team. It aimed at the girl at the end who seemed absent-minded. This young girl, dressed in green, looked like the weakest one in the group.
In such a harsh wind and snow, it is still in a daze, that careless pace, that posture without a sense of vigilance, this kind of weak and powerless prey is really rare.
After a minute at a safe distance of 100 meters, the Snow Killer couldn't wait to take the first drop of blood. It lowered its body and began to sprint and prepare to take the weak girl in one gulp.
If only one of the weakest members is taken away, most teams will not send people to chase them, which is the experience of the demon leopard who has attacked the human team many times in this snowy field.
However, before its sprint had even begun, it saw the eyes of the maiden in the green maid decoration.
It was a pair of eyes full of terrifying demonic nature, which seemed to lead directly to another world. There, life and death intertwined, lodged in a mysterious way in the clear green eyes of the maiden.
Those eyes couldn't see emotion, whether they were looking at the earth, the sky, or the ocean, they couldn't make her fluctuate. It was a colder and more terrifying eye than this cold ice and snow world.
"Horn!" After a strange sound, the white killer in the snow, the demon leopard who had eaten many people, suddenly found that the world had become bigger and taller.
No, it's not the world that's changing, it's itself. It was horrified to find that its snow-white fur and sharp claws had disappeared without a trace at any time.
Now it's just a round lump of flesh that can be seen with blood vessels and nerves. Crimson blood flowed through its body at high speed, exuding a completely different aura than before.
Its incomparably sharp eyes turned into two large round bulges, and then it automatically gained a free viewing angle of 360 degrees.
"Quack?" With the intelligence of the snow leopard, no matter what, he couldn't understand why he had become such a piece of meat in the blink of an eye, or a living finished product.
"Huh?" said Arcelia, who was at the front of the line and was on a vanguard mission, looking at the back of the group with some surprise.
The aura of the snow leopard a hundred meters away suddenly disappeared, and she had planned to get rid of it if it got closer, but she didn't expect it to disappear all of a sudden. In its place, the breath of another weak creature remained.
Saya still had that absent-minded expression, and even the two Hydra and Angela beside her were not interested. Hydra, who didn't like the north in the first place, yawned incessantly, and almost didn't fall asleep.
"Arcelia, haven't you found it yet? I want to go to my dear's side. In such a monotonous environment, even Miharu, who has always been full of energy, is a little uncomfortable.
Rather than investigating in this kind of snow, she wanted to go to the warm embrace of Ulysses and do such and such hot things.
"It should be around here. Arcelia looked at the map in her hand, and if it looked at it, their destination was in the mountains not far away.
"Why do we have to go to school to defeat monsters, that headmaster is not kind at all, he is a bad grandfather. Mihalu was angry at the unfair treatment he had received.
If it had gone well, she would have been with her dear by now. Unexpectedly, the bad-hearted principal insisted on coming up with a bunch of regulations, requiring their group of transfer students to complete a difficult and difficult task, otherwise they would not be given admission qualifications.
That mission is to take down the Ice Crushing Dragons that have recently infested the Radiant City.
Although it is said to be a dragon, it is not actually a dragon, but a giant beast that lives in the northern land. It is said to have the terrifying power to smash a mountain with a single claw, and at the same time it can fly into the water, and it is a very powerful monster.
"It just so happens that the shortcomings of the material cultivation demon soldier, you can solve it by the way and bring these back. By the way, there are many parts of this monster that are very nourishing, and the maid team also went together to collect the ingredients. Aya, who was the deputy head of the regiment, took out a list for the apostles, and sent them to the mountains.
There are a total of eight members of the Shattered Mountain Dragon Raiding Team.
The second apostle, Arcelia, the leader and vanguard of the team, the eighth apostle, Mihalou, who rode the black and white Earth Bear King, and the genius magician Rasteptin, who is the third lineage.
Then there is the team of maids who provide backup, and Saya and Hydra, Kanai, and Angela all set off with the team.
The remaining members of the Apostolic Order, Silas, Iphia, and Mina, were on other missions in the Radiant Academy, and the First Apostle Helen was still in Aya's confinement and could not go out for the time being.
Although it is strange that the maid team occupies most of the places in one team, it is clear that the tragedy will not be this team, but the ice dragon that has recently taken over the mountainous area and does whatever it wants.
After being lucky enough to escape the search for the first two days by sleeping, the Ice Crusher that was attacking a herd of fleeing snow goats was finally discovered.
"Ah, I found it!" Mihalou, who was in love and didn't want to be separated from Ulysses for a day, raised his right hand high, hoping that the fist lock would shine brightly.
That's light, it's passion, it's love!
"It took a lot of time. Rustine, who had a calmer personality, also smiled happily and raised her right hand, the tricolor dream crystal charm shining in her hand.
A huge amount of magic swept through Rasputin's body, and a huge magic array appeared behind her, and then converged into a steady stream of magic storms and began to attack.
"Attack!" Arcelia's figure sliced through the wind and snow, and the silver armor turned into a brilliant silver light and rushed towards the massive body of the Ice Shattering Dragon.
"Roar!" clapped the claws of the Ice Crusher as it was disturbed from eating.
"Boom!" Countless huge blocks of ice emerged from the ground, and then turned into layers of ice waves that rushed towards Arcelia and the others.
This is the tracking ice wave that will fall into the death freeze as long as it is contaminated with a little bit, the ice forbidden technique that sweeps the heavens and the earth, and the natural skill of the ice crushing dragon.
However, this ultimate move that can sweep through a group of humans has no effect.
A huge amount of silver light erupted from Arcelia's body, and the magical weapon she was wearing automatically eliminated the erosion of this freezing gas, and the knight girl wrapped in silver light pierced dozens of layers of ice waves like a sharp sword, and the first sword of the invisible sword cut off half of the claws of the ice dragon.
"For love, burn!" Mihalu clasped her hands together, hoping that the chains on the locks of her fists would wrap around her wrists, glowing with a dazzling white light.
Break through, break through, break through again! Mihalu's momentum continued to rise, and when the ice waves rushed in front of her like a tidal wave, her whole body was already enveloped in white light.
"One!" Mihalu threw his first punch, hitting the swept ice wave hard.
The huge ice wave came to an abrupt halt, as if it had encountered some invisible wall.
"Two!" Miharu's wrists began to tremble violently, hoping that the outstretched chains on the fist lock would reach the ground beneath her feet.
The ground centered around her began to twist wildly, and something was extracted.
"Three!" Mihalu burst out with a sky-high momentum all over his body, and his right fist suddenly rose upward, blasting back the rushing ice waves in one breath.
Like a waterfall flowing backwards, the waves of death ice that rushed down from the mountain were returned untouched by Mihalu's fist, which was the result of her recent training, a more powerful and domineering punch than before.
"Quack!" The Ice Shattering Dragon, which was hit by the ice wave sent out by itself, had a layer of ice ridges hanging all over its body, and its movements suddenly slowed down a lot.
"Come and pick up my magic, too. Behind Mihalu, Hasputin confidently manipulated the dream crystal talisman in his hand.
"Thunder Talisman, Large Lightning Storm!" The Thunder Talisman that Hasputin had chosen as the main talisman appeared with a clear triangular coat of arms, and then countless thunderbolts lit up half of the sky.
The lightning bolts were faster, more ruthless, and more accurate than before, and each lightning bolt slammed into the Ice Shattering Dragon's body from different angles along a different trajectory. Although the Ice Shattering Dragon had summoned dozens of one-meter-sized ice shields as if it were facing a great enemy, under the baptism of crazy thunder and lightning, its huge body was still electrocuted out of one black spot after another, if it weren't for its high magic resistance, I am afraid it would have been electrocuted into a roasted dragon long ago.
"Whew!" another half of her claw was cut, and Arcelia's attack was still clean.
"Meow, leave that thing underneath, Aya named the guy to make soup. Kana hurriedly reminded Arcelia, who had already participated in the battle, to pay attention to Aya's ingredient requirements, in case they evaporated this rare large ingredient to the world on impulse.
