Chapter 111 Descends, God of Thunder and War!
Unlike any of the Old Gods of Freeljord, Voliber, the God of Thunder, is the only Old God with his own lineage.
Bears.
The bears are the creations of Volibel, and they possess a formidable physique, sharp teeth, and the power of thunder derived from Volibel.
Volibel is the old god of thunder and war, and his creations are as furious as he is.
If it weren't for the fact that the Bears' territory was located in the extreme north of Freljord, and the Freljord Continent was separated by a sea of ice, then more people would have died at the hands of the Bearmen.
Because of the nature of the bear-people and the countless crimes they have committed, the Freljords generally try to stay away from the bear-people as much as possible.
But today, Winterclaw is about to hold a ceremony to summon the Bearren to descend!
The desperate Claws of Winter must cross the river and breach the city in front of them, or they will be left with nothing but death.
In this case, summoning the Bear-People became Sejuani's only option.
Except for the Bearmen, Freljord had no one else willing to help Winterclaw, and the old gods, they simply didn't care if mortals lived or died.
Summoning the Bearren Clan, although there is also a certain price to pay, Sejuani has no choice.
As long as she can break through the city, whatever the bears want to do, let them go, she just wants to be able to get supplies.
On the snow, a huge bonfire roared, and the flames were three people high.
Sejuani's army stood around the campfire, looking at the flames in front of them with tiredness and doubt.
Sejuani stood beside Steelmane, and Udir was behind Sejuani.
Even at this time, Udir still did not give up admonishing Sejuani, he wanted Sejuani to understand the cunning and murderous nature of the bear people, but Sejuani, who was cornered, obviously couldn't listen to it.
Looking at the persistence on his mother's face, Udil's fists clenched, fully mobilizing his strength to the extreme.
He knew the origin of the Bear-People better than Sejuani, and he could only pray now, they had summoned only the Bear-People, not the .
Ahead, the firewood from the campfire forms an interlocking triangle in the pattern of dead knots, and the stacks of firewood form a series of burning spires, and the outer perimeter of the spires is the only remaining material of the Claws of Winter.
In the center of the flame spire, the Frost Priest held a quaint wooden bowl aloft in his hand, and the pungent smell of blood was constantly coming from the bowl.
The shawl made of raven feathers in her hand reached into the bowl, and the hot blood of the beast flowed out, carving strange patterns on the ground.
As the emblem symbolizing the bearren was drawn, the Frost Priestess spilled blood from the bowl around her as a low, muffled chanting began to sound from her mouth.
The ashes of the campfire flew into the sky, and the bits of starfire leaped upwards to point at an approaching storm.
Suddenly, the voice of the Frost Sacrifice, which had been whispering prayers, became extremely heavy, and even a strange giant bear roar began to come from her mouth!
"It's coming!" Beside Sejuani, Udir growled.
Sejuani also saw the dark clouds that were gradually spreading in this direction from a distance, and there seemed to be countless shadows flickering in them.
"Click!"
The first thunderbolt descended from the sky and slashed at the flame spire, followed by an increasingly dense thunderbolt.
The whole world became extremely oppressive, whether it was the frost wolf, the war mammoth, or the steel mane of Sejuani, all began to let out a low roar like a great enemy.
Then, Sejuani noticed a low roar in the forest ahead, and an upright bear-man rushed out of the forest to Winterclaw, and more came after him.
Although Sejuani had heard of bear-people lore more than once, this was the first time she had actually seen them.
It was an erect bear-man creature more than two meters tall, covered in brown and white fur, covered in iron armor, and with sharp teeth.
And just behind these bear people, there was a huge figure nearly five meters tall, covered in lightning and armor.
Just as he came to the front of the bears, all the bears stood in a neat line, exhaling white mist from their mouths, and waited quietly.
He didn't look at Sejuani, much less at the sacrifice in front of him, but straight towards Udir.
"Udir, my old friend!"
Sejuani's brow furrowed, and she quickly turned to look at Udir behind her.
Udir's face was gloomy to the extreme, and he roared in a deep voice, "Lord of Hunting! ”
"Why suppress your talent any longer? Udil. ”
The huge bear-man who was called the Lord of the Hunt by Udir laughed cruelly: "Look at these bear-people around me, they were all your teachers and your kindred, but now, they are all bear-people, and they have more power than the beast spirit walkers!" ”
“!!!”
Hearing the words of the Lord of the Hunt, Sejuani's heart was even more surprised, and she knew that there must be a great secret hidden in it.
Sejuani was tempted to ask Udir about it, but it was at this moment that the Lord of the Hunt withdrew his gaze and looked at Sejuani.
"Daughter of Winterclaw, what do you want?" The hunting lord's voice was hoarse and bloody.
"I ask for the power of the Bears."
Sejuani said word by word: "Please fight side by side with me and crush the city ahead!" ”
"You're asking for the wrong person, Winter's Claw."
The Hunting Lord's huge eyes suddenly flashed with a glint of piety, and he whispered, "I have no right to command the Bearren Clan, no one can, except my gods. ”
Sejuani frowned slightly: "As his representative, now the leader of the bear people, I can accept your request."
"I'm not qualified to represent him, I'm just his tool. If you ask, then go and talk to my gods! ”
At the moment when the words of the Hunting Lord fell, a thunderbolt suddenly flashed through the dark clouds above.
"My gods go with me!"
“!!!”
At that moment, Udil's body began to tremble violently, and the beast spirits in his body began to be restless, but this restlessness only lasted for a moment, and then began to become weaker and weaker until it disappeared completely.
Just like all beasts facing absolute gods, all the beast spirits in Udil's body are hidden out of fear.
There was an arrogant and primitive will in his mind, which was constantly destroying Udil's psychological defenses, and the roar of the giant bear began to continue from Udil's mouth, and there was an extremely obvious giant bear phantom on the surface of his body.
The last thing Udil wanted to see happened.
He's coming.
In the woods behind the Hunting Lord, huge black-leaved trees crackled and were constantly being pushed down, and a figure several times taller than the war mammoth was walking in the woods.
It was a city of pitch-black muscles, its ancient tattered ancient armor made of dark metal plates, and the blood stains from countless battles clotted into a thick layer of blood scabs.
On his back and shoulders were many broken weapons, all rusted with age.
Half of its face was gone, revealing sparkling bones, teeth, and horns, and strange black blood was pouring from its mouth.
As the War Bear drew closer, the clouds of the Endless Storm in the sky followed.
At last, he walked out of the woods and came to Sejuani and Udir.
He stood in front of Winterclaw, his strange eyes sparkling with thunder and lightning, and he looked directly at Sejuani and Udir in front of him.
"Daughter of Winterclaw, what do you want!"
Looking at the giant bear in front of him, who was nearly thirty meters tall and seemed to have experienced countless wars, there was a strong fear in Sejuani's eyes.
Sejuani didn't expect that with the little sacrifice she had, in addition to the bear-people, there was actually this ancient god who had lived for an unknown number of years!
Normally, the few sacrifices that could summon the bears would be very reluctant, and if you wanted to summon the god of thunder, Volibel, it would be terrifying.
Even if you had offered enough sacrifices, Volibel would not have answered your call, but now, he was actually in front of Sejuani.
What makes Sejuani even more incomprehensible is what Voliber has gone through to become what she is now.
Compared to the god of thunder recorded in the scroll, Volibel, who now stands in front of her, is no different from a ghost.
Can anyone really destroy an ancient god to this extent?
Behind Sejuani, although the Winterclaw warriors outnumbered the bears a hundred times, her warriors were terrified in front of Volibel.
Huge war mammoths, battle-hardened veterans, they've fought men, they've fought trolls, they've fought Skaldvastaya, but now they're all trembling.
Looking at the war bear in front of her, Sejuani's hand clutched the ponytail on the side of her steel-maned head, and gradually, her gaze began to become crazy and ambitious.
"God of Thunder and War, I ask for your strength, and I ask you to fight alongside the Claws of Winter!"
"Who will you sacrifice as a sacrifice?"
Volibel's voice rang out again, his voice low and muffled as he spoke, and a strange light flashed in his huge eyes.
Sejuani looked up, separated by lightning and snow, and met Volibel's eyes.
Sejuani's eyes didn't seem to have anything left but obsession and madness.
"My One"
"No, Sejuani!" Suddenly, Udil's roar interrupted Sejuani's words.
With such close contact with Volibel, Udir only felt that he was going crazy, and he could barely control the violent will in his body.
This is one of the most terrifying abilities that originates from the god of thunder and war.
His aggressive will violently break into the bodies of the Beast Spirit Walker and replace the Beast Spirit within them, turning the Beast Spirit Walker into a bear man.
Almost all of the bearmen behind the Hunting Lord were beast spirit walkers who had been changed by Volibel's will!
Once, Udil had witnessed his own people being turned into rampaging bearmen who had abandoned their human sanity under that violent will.
It can be said that most of the bearmen in the bear-people are bear-people who have been transformed by Volibel, and only a few bear-people like the Hunting Lord are created by Voliber himself, and their strength is much stronger than that of ordinary bearmen.
Now, Voliliber's furious will is constantly trying to invade Udir's mind.
However, the results of Udil's years of cultivation in Ionia still played a role after all, and Udil resisted the erosion and gradually regained some sanity.
It was at this moment that he snapped out what Sejuani was about to say.
Udir roared at Volibel, "We only offer the war and the people who died in battle, Spirit Bear, don't be delusional about getting involved with my war mother and people!" ”
"Roar!"
Volibel's mouth suddenly let out an angry roar, and the sound from his mouth even directly overturned the army of Winterclaw, causing the frostwolves to lie on the ground in terror.
It was just a short time before Volibel could get the perfect sacrifice.
What a wonderful picture it would be to be able to reincarnate the three Ice Sisters, who had ruthlessly plundered his faith, the people he hated the most, and to be able to transform their reincarnation into bear people.
But it's a pity that Udir still saved his mother after all.
At this moment, Sejuani's body shook violently, and an unprecedented fear rose in her heart when she came back to her senses.
It was only then that she truly understood the horror of an old god, and she had just come close to sacrificing herself and her people to Volibel.
Udir came to Sejuani's side and stopped her behind her, while she looked at Voliber in front of her:
"God of Thunder and War, will you grant our request, will you be afraid of war!"
"Whew~"
Voliliber's half-left nose exhaled a hot breath as he slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing the snow curtain and looking at the city ahead.
After a long time, Volibel withdrew his gaze.
"I will never be afraid of war!"
