After encountering the ice crystal phoenix Anivia, who was possessed by the Yaomuro Phoenix, although they were greeted with a cold and stern warning, Red certainly did not let go of his goal.

"Anivia, now that you and the Fleur have become one, you should know that the Darkest Night is coming—and it will endanger the scale of the Almighty Universe."

The light ring flashed in Red's hand, and wrapped in the red light energy, he slowly flew in front of Avinia, staring directly at the primordial god of Freljord.

"If you want to deal with the Black Death Emperor, the power of every lamp beast is necessary, let me leave here, but I will take you with me."

Avinia stared at Red in front of her, the frost whirlwind around her calming down slightly.

"If a few days ago, I might have chosen to let Yao Murohuang separate from me and hand it over to a more suitable child...... But not now, it's different. The battle in the south awakens the ultimate evil in the abyss of weeping...... Destructive forces beyond the spectrum. ”

"Soon Fredjord will become a battlefield, and if we fail, we will have to seal off the whole of Fredjord as the last barrier in the Runeterras."

Red frowned, and was about to ask Avinia when the latter suddenly seemed to sense something, nervously turned his head to look north, and then quickly spread his wings and flew into the air.

"Oh no, they're coming out-"

"Who are they referring to?! Is it a void creature or a ......"

Red hurriedly asked, but the icy wind howled in front of him, and the ice crystal phoenix soared above the clouds in a matter of seconds, turning into a blue arc of light and disappearing from his field of vision.

Tsk, is this blue light power a Riddler buff, why don't you make it clear one by one.

If he drives the red light energy with all his might, Red will probably be able to catch up with Avinia, or stop him if he attacks.

But Red hesitated, still did not use force, but slowly floated back to the ground.

"Ash, you can still sense the Yaofu Phoenix...... Direction of Avinia? ”

Ash was stunned for a moment, then she looked down at the lamp ring and nodded affirmatively.

Since the target will not be lost, there is no need to rush.

Red breathed a long sigh of relief, and he vaguely sensed that Avinia was not hostile to them, but had a deeper consideration.

"Let's go back to the Avarosa tribe first, though if I'm not mistaken......"

Red looked at Ash solemnly and said in a deep voice.

"Now your tribe, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic."

——

"How can this be ......"

Ash looked at the Avarosa tribe in front of him, completely covered in ice and snow and everyone turned into ice sculptures, and fell to his knees in despair.

"It's all my fault...... I shouldn't have left my tribe, my people...... I forgot my duty as a war mother......"

Ash's shoulders trembled violently, and Red could clearly sense her remorse and chagrin.

However, compared to Ash, Red was much calmer, and he walked up to one of the ice sculptures, touched it lightly with his hand, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"Wait, Ash...... These freezes don't seem to be meant to kill your people. ”

I saw that as the light ring in Red's hand lit up with a faint red light, I could see that the ice sculpture in front of Red began to spread out a subtle crack centered on the location he touched.

Bang dang!

Under Red's precise control of the red light energy, with a crisp cracking sound, the ice sculpture in front of him instantly turned into countless tiny ice chips and dispersed, while at the same time, a blonde girl with a wet body appeared from the ice mist and sat weakly on the ground.

"Estrid? Estrid, are you alright? ”

Seeing this girl, Ash's eyes lit up with hope, and she pounced on the girl with her hands and feet, and then hugged her tightly.

"Lord Warmother? I'm ...... Tribal Celebration ......"

The girl whom Ash calls Estrid looks a little confused, but she doesn't appear to have any external injuries on her body.

Red raised his hand and dried the ice crystals and water stains on the girl's body through the control of the red light's energy.

Ash stood up in surprise and looked at the members of the Avarosa tribe who had been turned into ice sculptures around her.

"Red, they should all be alive, if you thaw them......"

"Don't worry, Ash."

However, Red did not act immediately, but crouched down and looked at Estrid thoughtfully.

"Do you remember what happened before you were locked in ice?"

"At that time, it was like we were in the middle of a celebration...... Then I suddenly felt a cold storm rolling up around me...... And the purple eyes in the storm......"

Purple eyes?

Red's pupils suddenly shrank, grabbed Estrid and Ash, and jumped into the air.

"Be careful!"

Rumble!

Where they had just been standing, the ground suddenly exploded, and a monster with no eyes but sharp teeth dug through the ground and appeared in front of them.

An ominous purple light can be seen flashing on its back.

"Lexie? No, it's just Axel's ordinary miscellaneous soldiers......"

Although it was inconvenient for Red to move because his two arms were hugged left and right, under his command, the Spirit Star flew out of his shoulder at high speed like an auto-homing missile, instantly penetrating the body of this unknown monster.

Airplanes! Woohoo!

However, it was clear that it was not the only attacker, and it didn't take looking back for Red to know that Sana and Aretha had also encountered the enemy.

Red put Estrid and Ash back on the ground, only to see that behind the large and small Xiaoice sculptures, a steady stream of strange creatures appeared, some of them looked like large insects, some looked like small beasts, but without exception, these monsters were lit up with a strange purple light.

"Stay away from my people!"

Ash Tooth clenched and raised the Ice Longbow in his hand, but at that moment, Red held down her arm.

"No, Ash, you can't fight them here...... Otherwise, it will definitely affect your people, and these things are almost endless, and there is no point in fighting them. ”

Red could feel through the Ring of Lights that these monsters had no human emotions at all, and he didn't intend to waste energy on these things meaninglessly.

And what to do with these guys......

Anivia told them the answer from the beginning.

"Everybody stops and gets together as much as possible."

Under Red's command, everyone gathered back to back, and although the strangely shaped creatures had surrounded them like a tide, everyone trusted Red's judgment.

"Ash, I need you to combine the power of the Ice Magic and the Blue Lantern Ring to create a barrier that will enclose us."

Red looked at Ash, who seemed a little uneasy.

"But I haven't tried."

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to do it."

The monsters around them were getting closer, and in the distance there seemed to be a blurred figure taller than a mammoth, and if they broke into the Avarosa tribe, they would surely wreak havoc on the tribesmen who had been turned into ice sculptures.

Finally reassured, Ash raised her longbow and gently tugged on the bowstring that wasn't attached to the arrow with her hand with the blue lantern ring.

"Avarosa, please protect us."

Airplanes!

Although it was empty, the moment Ash loosened the strings, it was obvious that a blue energy fluctuation spread out towards the surroundings, and instantly formed a translucent blue embodied structure like an upside-down pot lid, enveloping everyone.

And Red could clearly feel the icy chill attached to the blue light structure.

Gada, Gada, Dada......

I saw that those ugly-looking monsters, suddenly as if they had become blind, began to wander aimlessly, and in just a few minutes, they scattered one after another and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.

"Sure enough, these void creatures ...... It doesn't lock onto a target that is shrouded in cold temperatures - no, it's a deliberate bypass. Anivia has sealed off your people with the icy wind to protect them. ”

Red looked at the scene in front of him and muttered thoughtfully, then his eyes were fixed on the earth-digging void creature that had been dealt with in the beginning.

"That's supposed to be Lexey's race, a creature named Axel...... However, it stands to reason that the origin of these fellows should be the Void of Acacia, that is, near the Shurima Desert, but even the presence of Freljord indicates that ......."

"Has the Void used this as the main battlefield to carry out a large-scale invasion?"

——

"I'm sorry, Estrid."

In front of the little girl who had just been freed from the ice sculpture, Ash raised the Ice Longbow apologetically.

The latter, on the other hand, clasped his hands together and did not look afraid, but smiled happily.

"I know that the War Mother is doing this to protect me...... When I wake up again, I'll be able to see Freljord return to peace. ”

"Yes—I promise you."

Ash let go of the bowstring, and the magic crystal arrow hit the ground in front of Estrid's feet, and the ice magic with the blue light energy burst out in an instant, turning Estrid into an ice sculpture again.

After all, it was safer to let her stay here with the rest of her clan in the form of an ice sculpture than to take the child on an adventure with her.

Red cleared his throat and looked at the group with a serious expression.

"The current situation is that although we have found the embodiment of hope, the Shining Room, it seems that unless the Void Invasion problem that Freljord is currently facing is resolved, she will not leave with us for a while and a half - and it seems that this Void Invasion will not be simple, as Anivia said, if left unchecked, it is very likely that not only Freljord, but the entire Runeterras will face extinction."

Red paused, and he turned to look at Sauna.

"In that case, it seems that you, the ambassador of Demacia to Freljord, will not take office until a little later. Of course, if you wish, you can ask Aretha to send you back to Demacia first......"

But the fairy smiled and walked up to Red and took his hand, and although she didn't speak, Red knew her answer very well.

In that case, there was no need to say more, and Red looked at the others.

Aretha and Lingxing were originally tasked with retrieving the Shining Room with him, so of course they would be involved in the next action.

Ash, on the other hand, smiled resolutely and resolutely when he met his gaze.

"Naturally, I don't want to say anything, in order to save the Avarosa tribe - no, it's the whole of Freljord, and I am duty-bound as the Mother of War."

"In that case, let's get ready to go, this should be the final stop of my trip."

Red clenched his fists, and he could vaguely feel that he might encounter an enemy of a different level than before.

"Go, Target—Frostguard Fortress!"

——

Frostguard Fortress, the northernmost building in Freljord, is the headquarters of the Iceguard clan.

It is also the residence of Lisandro, the Frost Witch.

The name Lisandro is more of a living legend than a human being.

At a time when the primordial gods were still roaming the wilderness of Freljord, the three sisters Lisandro, Serelda, and Alvarosa were born, who were the hope and leaders of the Freljord humans, and under their leadership, Freljord gradually crossed the control of the gods and came to the era of human domination over the ice fields.

But the price behind it is unknown.

In order to gain the power to confront the gods, Lisandro secretly made a pact with some unknown force in the Wailing Abyss, hiding from her two sisters; But when Lissandra discovers this power called the Void, whose ultimate goal is to destroy the Runeterras, she changes her mind and seals the Void in the Wailing Abyss at the expense of her two sisters.

Lisandro herself as a caretaker, using dreams to control all the void monsters in the Wailing Abyss; At the same time, Lisandro has her followers use all their power to rewrite history and hunt down all members of the Frost Bloodline who could be reincarnated as the reincarnations of her two sisters.

Except for Ash, who is believed to be the reincarnation of Avarossa, and Sejuani, who is a descendant of Serelda.

However, this long period of detention has now come to an end.

"Lisandro, I won't forgive you for what you did...... But now is not the time to talk about this, we must be united in the face of the void, just as we were then-"

Anivia's wings spread, and she summoned an icy blizzard, and a dazzling blue light of hope shimmered in it.

"Shut up, ancient gods, don't stand in my way."

In front of Anivia, however, a woman with the upper half of her face covered stood on top of the ice field, still unmoved in the blizzard.

And behind her, the endless void creatures of the Shadow Shadow were constantly emerging.

"I'm tired of continuing to evade my contract—and now I know how wonderful it feels to accept the power of the Void and surrender to it."

In the woman who was called Lisandro by Anivia, a wicked and bewitching smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

At the same time, she exuded a rich purple void breath.

"Now I'm going to fulfill my old pact—"

"Become the vanguard of the Void's destruction of this world!"
