When the five of them turned their eyes to the slightly eerie castle, the ground shook suddenly.

As if it had been electrocuted, the surface of the ancient and magnificent building stirred up a dark green electric light! The irregular friction sound sounded at the joints between the rocks, like a painful cry coming from afar, which made people feel frightened.

Strange runes spread from the center of the castle, like a disc enveloping the castle in it. The runes of plants and vines form ever-changing patterns, but they resemble poems composed of ancient words. Sylvia's face suddenly turned pale.

"Ro, Romesa!"

At this time, the elemental elves who were reveling above the Mirror Lake seemed to have been instructed by someone, and they whined and hummed, as if they were a happy ensemble. Only then did Ivan understand why those elemental elves were so excited just now - their king was about to reappear in the world!

The wizards stopped the commotion, and only those elemental spirits who could not control themselves were left on the surface of the lake.

In the eyes of the people in horror, the northern tower fell to the ground with a bang, setting off layers of pitch-black waves.

Immediately afterwards, the stone wall in the north also collapsed, and a very oppressive black object shot out of the wall, although it was only two people high, giving the illusion that the mountain was pressing on the top.

That's a humanoid thing!

The eyes are scorching and sparkling in dark green, and they are gems with rough shapes. He let out a low roar as if he had thunder in his mouth.

"Yafil!"

Hearing Clarence's exclamation behind him, Ivan realized that he was too close to the monster. The monster covered in black rocks seemed to be spewed out by a volcano, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed in front of him. Suddenly, he was hit hard by someone.

In the next second, his whole body was immersed in the icy lake water.

The bitter cold made him shudder, someone grabbed his arm tightly, and someone was with him in the dark lake.

Crash!

The boat, which had been in the midst of the storm, finally couldn't withstand the impact of the blackstone monster, and rose on the surface of the water and turned upside down. Before that, however, Clarence had prepared a spell as fast as he could.

The flat ice appeared at his feet, and the buoyancy of the ice quickly lifted him up. Sylvia knelt at his feet, coughing violently from choking on cold water. If it weren't for Sylvia's constant tugging on his clothes, she would have drowned.

Then, the crows also appeared.

The crow with the Wind Attribute Magic Wizard was very light and was pushed by the wind next to the ice floe, and he peeked his head out of the water and looked at Clarence in surprise.

"Hey, was that the Earth Elf King just now?"

Clarence's face was very ugly, and he shook his head decisively, but he paused as if his neck was stiff.

"I guess that's the incomplete Earth Elf King. Clarence looked down, his pitch-black eyes as if he could see through the black waters of the lake. In the pitch-black water, the green light is crystal green, like a lurking water snake watching its prey.

The incomplete Elf King of the Earth is in the lake.

Not far from the ice floe, Aisha clutched Ivan's arm. Although he heard Clarence's voice, it seemed to be very vague, and he didn't know what he was talking about. The waves were still pushing and shoving them, and if they went on like this, they would sink before they could get close to the ice floe!

"Ha ......"

As soon as the swaying of the lake subsided, Aisha hurriedly stepped on the water and floated up, and as far as the eye could see, the lights on the boats were like fragile fireflies, and every qiē was so ethereal. Ivan was beside her, also struggling to tread the water, with a look of astonishment on his face.

"Hey—"

Hearing the crow's shout, Aisha turned her head to look in the direction of the ice floe, and she gestured to Ivan and swam towards it. The heart is up and down.

What the hell was that thing just now? That thing sank, didn't it? That thing looks heavy, it should sink, please sink it! Don't come up again!

An ominous premonition gripped Essia's heart.

"Uhhh

A terrifying roar that caused cardiac arrest suddenly sounded, and an eerie echo erupted beneath the lake. Aisha was startled and hurriedly turned back.

Ivan, who was supposed to be following her closely, didn't know when he was left behind. Ivan looked at her for a moment, as if hesitating, and then, taking a deep breath, he plunged headlong into the cold water.

That guy can't drown in water, and there's no way he's going to get trapped in water, Ivan thought.

If it was the "Earth Elf King" summoned by the Great Elder of the Wizarding Society, then it would definitely catch up!

So, can't let it catch up with Ishal!

Perhaps because he was a little accustomed to the temperature of the lake, Ivan no longer felt very cold, and even the injuries on his body became unconscious. He stretched out his right hand, and the silver light was like the reflection of a crescent moon, but it was more dazzling than the light of a full moon.

The sword of light illuminated the monster, like a man with a thick body and limbs, black stone covering its entire body, it folded its limbs like a frog, and its face did not resemble a mouth, but it still let out a terrible roar.

Just as it was about to pounce, a light flashed in Ivan's mind.

He could make out the thing's pronunciation in the muddled cry! not "Uhh......h

Lure?

Is it a name?

The silver light became brighter and brighter, and in the icy lake, Ivan could not wave his heavy arm at all, and could only continue to inject magic into the wrist chakra, preparing to deal with the monster's attack. But at the moment, he felt a little strange.

The light was so natural, so bright, but Ivan didn't feel tired from the magic exertion. It was as if that was Lightgill's will, that Lightgill was responding to the voice.

Something similar has happened before.

On the day he first met Aisha, he took out the dazzling Lightgill from his father's purse in the face of the terrifying Kraken. Lightgill's will, and his will, became one in that moment.

The feeling of being strange and familiar even made him a little nostalgic. For a while, the tense feelings disappeared, and the depths of my heart suddenly became extraordinarily quiet.

I see......

That's the name. The god of light that Sylvia spoke of belonged to the soul of Lightgill.

"Ivan!"

The surface of the lake was full of brilliant points of light like a galaxy of stars, and the silver brilliance was mixed with a little bit of gold, as if she were floating in the skirt of the goddess. Aisha's perception of the Origin Magic was so strong, of course she could feel the magic of light emerging from the water.

It must be Ivan! What the hell is going on?

Just as Aisha was about to dive underwater, there was a thud beside him, and the crow jumped down like a waterfowl.

"Stay with the scholars!" the crow's tone was very stern, and he pointed impatiently at the ice floe that was rapidly approaching, "Please bear with me, this kind of thing is difficult to solve the Elf King!"

"That's why I can't leave Ivan behind!"

Ai Xia, who had just finished saying this, was quickly grabbed by the other hand. She broke away angrily, but when she turned her head, she saw a shivering Sylvia lying on the edge of the ice floe.

"Come on......! You don't know what an Elf King is...... You're just going to do it! You, you come up for me first!"
