Surdak knelt half-kneeling on the gravel-filled slope, watching the rushing stream of ice and rocks fall overhead, filling every inch of the hillside with a mist of snow.

In the face of the powerful coercion of the Headless Horseman, the only thing he could do was to raise the golden shield with difficulty and draw the runic words of 'Ancient Oath' on his chest.

At the same time, Delia rolls over and steps onto the magic handle with the help of Basil.

She only felt that her body was swallowed by the snow mist, as if she was about to be frozen, and even her movements became slow, and with each breath, a large amount of ice slag rushed into her lungs, making her upper body feel as if it was being frozen, and the cold almost penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

The magician Basil was also frozen in the snow and mist, and he was extremely stiff in his grip on the magic handle.

The next moment, the floating device of the magic handle trembled violently, but fortunately, the propulsion device at the tail of the magic handle did not fail at the critical time, and under the continuous injection of mana, a huge thrust made the magic handle carry the two out of the snow and mist......

】

The Headless Horsemann stood in the snow mist, the cold apparently affecting it, but it stood still in complete obsession with the surging mist.

The flow of ice and rocks overhead was already too late, and it was too late to dodge.

He stared at Surdak, who was half-crouching on the ground not far away, and the cyan long sword in his hand stretched out and crackled towards Surdak.

It didn't dodge the ice and rock flow at this time, and obviously had enough confidence.

Surdak's heart suddenly felt cold, but at this moment, when he saw the headless horseman's long sword cracking, he could only grit his teeth and raise the gold shield in his hand, ready to catch the blow hard.

After all, it was the strength of the third-turn sect master, Surdak recited the words of runes, and then showed his 'potential'.

The ancient oath made the surface of the golden shield appear the pattern of the Naga Sea Clan, the silver cross pattern of the divine shield, and the large cross pattern of the blessed shield, and the three overlapped together, which was particularly messy.

And the archangel's shadow with its wings spread became extremely solid, and its body exuded divine light, and it held Surdak in its arms with its wings, making it look like it was protected by layers.

The Headless Horseman slashed down with a sword.

Layers of shields were broken.

Finally, the cyan sword cracked on the golden shield before it stopped, and at this critical juncture, Surdak's left hand of the Kurwin sword also blocked the cyan blade, and Surdak used the sword and shield to parry the headless horseman's sword at the same time.

It's a pity that even so, Surdak still couldn't completely block the huge momentum transmitted by the cyan blade.

The tremendous force slammed into the shield, and the golden shield slammed into Surdak's chest, but fortunately he was wearing the epic armor of Sheft Stembu, and the magic patterns that instantly appeared on the armor completely blocked the headless horseman's fierce blow.

Surdak only felt a thrust like a tidal wave rushing over.

He couldn't resist at this moment, and his body was pushed down the hill by the huge force......

In the face of the surging ice and stone flow, the demon leader did not escape, and just a second before an ice cube smashed into the headless horseman's body, the headless horseman's body was covered with a layer of jet-black armor.

In the next moment, the cracked glacier wrapped around the boulder like an earth dragon, completely devouring the demon leader.

The figure of the demon general completely disappeared into the ice and stone flow.

This was the last sight of Surdak who had fallen down the hill to see the Headless Horseman.

At this time, Surdak, who was no longer able to stabilize his body, looked up at the incoming ice and stone flow, and it was unavoidable.

He silently recited 'Aphrodite' in his heart......

Just as a piece of ice with a diameter of one meter hit his chest, a void door opened behind him.

Surdak couldn't hold up the golden shield at this moment, and the heavy ice smashed on Surdak's body, and the Sheft Steinbu armor burst out with a golden shield of light for the second time, and then the huge impact pushed him into the Void Gate.

……

Aphrodi sat in the courtyard, looking at the messy backyard with some speechlessness.

Although this small courtyard is not large, it is a rare place to cool off in the summer, especially when the dense foliage of the creeper completely obscures the cloister and the gazebo, and Aphrodite has set up a wicker chair on a small meadow.

Until then, this rattan chair had been placed on the terrace on the roof level of the rent.

The courtyard had been so comfortably furnished by her that her daughter, Vivien, could even run around chasing a kobold.

Just now, Surdak, dressed in epic armor, flew out of the Void Gate in a state of embarrassment, followed by some ice cubes mixed with rubble.

Surdak fell into a wall of thorny roses that nearly buried most of her in stone and ice.

If it hadn't been for Aphrodite closing the Void Gate in time, I'm afraid there would have been more ice stones pouring out.

Benson, the gardener next door weeding, was so frightened that he dropped the flower scissors in his hand to the ground, and he crouched on the ladder in horror.

The painter who was painting on the roof almost fell from his cigarette, but fortunately he was strapped to a safety rope and hung him on the slope of the roof in time.

Aphrodite's yard was filled with ice stones, which made it a lot cooler.

Instead of rushing to rescue Surdak from the ice pile, she waited for him to push a few blocks of ice from it and crawl out in embarrassment.

Looking at Surdak's face covered with dirt, lying weakly on the grass, the sword and shield in his hand were casually discarded aside, without the slightest treatment that an epic weapon should enjoy.

Aphrodite then got up from the wicker chair and walked over to Surdak with her skirt and squatted down.

Lying on his back on the grass, Surdak looked at the blue sky and the white clouds and rooftops, knowing that he had escaped this with the help of Aphrodite.

He exhaled all the chill in his lungs, then closed his eyes and let his body relax completely.

Aphrodite held half of his cheek in one hand, leaned his head closer and said:

"I find that you are getting more and more bold, if that demon commander is calculated according to the hierarchy of the Green Empire, it should be a third-rank grandmaster, do you think you already have the strength to challenge a third-rank grandmaster?"

Surdak opened his eyes and grinned, probably pulling the wound, and his expression was a little painful.

"It suddenly ran out of the demon legion, what can I do?" Surdak said casually.

He paused, glanced at Aphrodite's face, and then added:

"Originally, I wanted to call Yinsel for help, but Basil said that an avalanche could be used to bury it, so we tried, who would have thought that this avalanche would be a bit big, and I also thought that by the way, I also wanted to rescue the aboriginal female warrior so as not to be buried in the ice and rock flow, but I didn't expect the headless horseman to target me."

His tone was pretending to be lighthearted, and then he added:

"It's good to run fast." I don't know if this sentence is referring to Basil and Delia, or to himself.

Delia let go of her hand and washed her hands in the basin on top of the stone pillar beside her, before she said to Surdak:

"You should thank Lady Luck, not every time the Void Gate can be opened just right, and you will not have such good luck every time."

Surdak struggled to get up from the lawn, ignoring how dirty he was, and gave Aphrodite a big hug, then whispered to her forehead, "All right, I know you can do it." ”

Aphrodite's face finally changed, and she looked at the mess in the courtyard and complained:

"What now! The yard is full of ice, and someone has to clean it up...... It's a nuisance. ”

Unexpectedly, the gardener, who was mruning the greenery in the garden next door, climbed the ladder and looked out of the wall and said to Aphrodite:

"Madam, if you want to clean up this garbage, we are willing to help you, and finally we will restore the lawn and flower wall for you......"

Surdak knew that Aphrodite was murderous at this moment, but then she changed her mind.

He said to Benson, the somewhat unruly gardener, "Then finish these things before the evening, and remember to recover exactly as they did in the morning." ”

"I will, ma'am!" Benson, the gardener, said happily.

What the gardener didn't know was that just now, he was really walking on the edge of life and death.

Watching the gardener happily carry the ladder out of the back garden next door, Surdak stood beside the stone pillar, washed his face with the water in the stone basin, felt full of strength again, and then said to Aphrodite:

"That...... Can I go back now? ”

Aphrodite glanced in the direction of the door and suggested to Surdak:

"Actually, we have time to eat something first, at least until the collapsed glaciers stabilize and open the Void Gate so that the ice stones will not be re-buried, and I've heard that the pies in the pie shop across the street are very good."

Surdak then remembered that he hadn't even had time to eat lunch, and when Aphrodite said this, he felt a little hungry.

"Well, it's been a long time since we've had lunch together!"

……

The waiter at the Golden Oak Pie Shop crossed the street with a plate and arrived at the gate of Aphrodite's courtyard, where he found the nanny waiting for her.

"Plates can be ...... when we send them back before we close"

The waiter said to the young nanny, and as he turned to leave, he glanced fiercely at the babysitter's bulging chest.

The young nanny was hired by Aphrodite in the winter to take care of her daughter Vivien, and at first, the nanny thought that Aphrodite was no different from the other single ladies in the city, just a very wealthy single woman with an illegitimate daughter.

Later, after getting along for a long time, I found out that this hostess was actually a great magician, and she had an extremely large property in her hands.

She was usually in awe of Aphrodite, and only when she took care of Vivien would she be a little more relaxed.

When she was holding Vivien upstairs, she saw Surdak suddenly appear on the lawn in the backyard, and she was startled by Surdak at first, but now she was also very careful......

Surdak sat on a wicker chair in the courtyard, he was wearing metal armor, so he hugged Vivien with great care.

Vivien stared at Surdak with a pair of big blue eyes, occasionally giggling at him, and her two small round white hands always tried to grab Surdak in the face.

Seeing his daughter Vivian, Surdak's face showed a trace of tenderness.

The beautiful daughter was still so young, and her eyes were full of curiosity about Surdak.

Probably felt this kind of family affection that blood was thicker than water, which made him start to miss Wente in Luyinte City a little.

Aphrodi sat quietly on the sidelines, smiling as Surdak put Vivien to sleep with his own hands.

The daughter slept in her arms, and the nanny who was standing next to her even passed......

Surdak sat at the front of the small table, took a piece of pie from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, Aphrodi didn't seem to want to eat it, she picked up a cup of tea, and talked to Surdak, who was sitting opposite, about the affairs of the indigenous tribe.

Probably worried about the situation on the battlefield side of the North Mountain Pass, Surdak seemed a little absent-minded, and the two talked about some topics about Delia, and Surdak also said casually.

Also talking about the awakening of Nephilim's power, Aphrodite told Surdak that every female demon actually had the ability to awaken Nephilim......

Aphrodite soon found out why the Headless Horsemann was chasing Deria:

"It should be the 'Blessing of the Ancestors' that attracts the Demon Leader, and this high-level blessing power often gives birth to a trace of the Ancestor's breath!"

"That headless horseman should be a strong man who has lived in the dark places of the abyss for a long time, and it is estimated that he should also be a big lord in the demon army, but he lost his head in a major battle and lost all his memories, but he once met the warriors of the Agrod tribe on the battlefield, and now it acts according to instinct, so it will lose its mind and chase the aboriginal female warrior all the way."

"It's very strong, it's lived so long, it's not so easy to die, you have to be careful when you go back."

"Alright, it should be almost time." Aphrodite said.

When Surdak heard Aphrodite say this, he immediately stood up.

A void door appeared in front of me.

"Got it......"

With that, Surdak strode through the Void Gate, and the next second, he stood on top of the collapsing iceberg.

There are fragments of ice and rocks all around.

The ice and rock flow that rushed down from the summit almost filled the foot of the mountain, and the place where Surdak stood now should be halfway up the mountain, and the original terrain had been completely buried.

The snow and fog cleared, and although the temperature was extremely low, at least a gentle slope had formed.

Surdak scanned around the place, looking for the demon leader buried in the ice and snow, but unfortunately it was all white, with the occasional frost-stained stone exposed.

Surdak saw a huge bulging block of ice, and hurriedly ran over, rushing to the boulder with an arrow.

It wasn't long before Basil flew from the sky with Delia......
