Chapter 122 Scam! Udil, the power of the demigods!
Fast forward a few days, and Olaf was once again in front of Sejuani's tent.
Olaf knew that once Sejuani had made a certain decision, she would implement it, and the same was true now.
In order to be able to carry everyone in Winterclaw through this winter, Sejuani will definitely go to Voliber's territory to steal the Lord!
And after thinking about it for the past few days, he has already made his choice.
In fact, just as Olaf thought, Sejuani was ready for everything at this time.
Pulling back the curtain of the tent, Olaf came to Sejuani:
"Sejuani, do you need me to go back to Lord Udir?"
"Nope."
Sejuani shook her head, her eyes full of determination:
"Udir may be at a critical juncture to improve his strength now, so don't bother him. In this kind of action, the fewer people, the less likely it is to be exposed, so it's good for me to go myself. ”
"And what about me, Sejuani, you should take me with you!"
Olaf's tone was resolute, his hands gripping the hilt of the double-plate axe tightly.
"Olaf, this operation is very dangerous, if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe!" Sejuani said in a deep voice.
"But that's what you promised me! It's the reason why I became your warrior! ”
Olaf did not back down at all and looked at Sejuani: "Do you think I will be afraid of death?" That's exactly what I'm after! ”
At one time, Olaf was born in the far northwest of Freljord, on an island called Lockfa, which was one of the most inhospitable areas in all of Freljord.
There, where rage is the only flame that warms a frozen body, combat is the only way to keep blood flowing, and there's nothing worse than getting old, weak, and forgotten.
Olaf was a fighter of Lockfa, and even in Lockfa, which was known for his ferocity, Olaf was still an extremely formidable fighter.
One evening, as he and his people brag in the embers of a freshly razed village, an older warrior grows tired of Olaf's bragging.
The veteran warrior used the method of agitation to ask Olaf to do a fortune divination to see if his fate was in line with his current pretentiousness.
Olaf went with confidence.
As a result of the divination, Olaf became the laughing stock of the entire village.
Because the divination hexagram shows that Olaf will live a long life, and will live a quiet life, and finally die in happiness.
The result of the divination is unacceptable to Olaf in any way, after all, he is a powerful warrior known for his battle and anger, but his final outcome is not to die a glorious death in battle, but to sit in a tent with a fat brain and wait for old age!
Since then, Olaf has embarked on his journey to the death, challenging all kinds of powerful monsters and fighting countless powerful men in close quarters in order to die in a glorious battle.
And the result is that Olaf can't accept it anyway.
No matter what kind of strong man he challenged, whenever Olaf came to the brink of death, the powerful physique given to him by the Ice Bloodline and the special berserk attribute hidden in the bloodline would make him lose his mind and kill his opponent in the rage.
By the time Olaf regained his senses, he had already won, and he didn't even know how he had won.
He even single-handedly killed the Frost Serpent.
Eventually, in search of an honorable death, Olaf chose to leave the village to challenge the most powerful Winterclaw warband in the entire Freljord West.
It was here that he lost to Sejuani.
But just as Olaf was about to accept his death, Sejuani held out his hand to him.
"It's not a fair fight. In the future, I will find the most glorious way for you to die, I promise! ”
Sejuani promised that she would find the glorious death he longed for for Olaf, and that he would be her warrior at the price.
Olaf agreed.
In the years that followed, Olaf fought alongside the warriors of Winterclaw, and the bond between him and Winterclaw grew deeper.
And now, Olaf knows that the glorious death he longed for was likely to come!
There is no more honorable way to die than to die in battle in the realm of the God of Thunder.
Even if his deeds are passed back to his hometown, he will be praised by many people in the future.
"Sejuani, let me walk with you, I can!" Olaf repeated again.
In the tent, Sejuani stared at Olaf's bloodshot eyes, and after a long silence, Sejuani nodded slowly.
"Berserkers and Blood Warriors escorted us across the Bridge of Ice, and then we entered Bearman Island together."
"Good!"
Hearing Sejuani's words, Olaf nodded emphatically.
"Let's leave in the afternoon and get ready."
After Olaf left Sejuani's tent, he did not go back to his quarters, but instead walked straight to the place where Flena, the second in command of Winter's Claws, Scarmother Freina, was.
Looking at Frena, who was grooming Ice Fang, Olaf whispered:
"Freina, after my mother and I left, if Lord Udir returns, you can just tell him where Sejuani and I are going, and let him reach the shores of the Ice Sea as quickly as possible, and pick up Sejuani's return. If you can, drop by to the Avarosa tribe."
Freina's body shook, and she turned to look at Olaf.
According to Freina's understanding of Olaf, he has always been the kind of rough old man who fights hard, but I didn't expect him to be able to say such a thing now.
Under Freina's astonished gaze, Olaf continued:
"Sejuani has given me this opportunity, and I will use my life to help Winterclaw get what she wants. Lord Udir only needs to escort Sejuani back safely. ”
Freina nodded slightly.
"I understand."
It was fast into the afternoon, and the faint sunlight still couldn't penetrate the thick clouds of Freljord.
It seems to be getting colder.
"Roar!"
Steelmane's mountain-like body sprang out of the edge of Winter's Claws, followed by a group of battle-axe-wielding berserkers and blood warriors.
A team of more than a dozen people, led by Sejuani, sped towards the sea of ice.
The territory of the Bearren is located in the northernmost part of the entire Freljord continent, across the sea from the main continent.
There is only one way to get from the main continent to Bearren Island, and that is the bridge that crosses the Sea of Ice.
It is also the first obstacle to Bearman Island.
The bridge is said to have been blessed by a demigod seal nun, so it can always stand on the icy sea.
However, despite the fact that the bridge runs through the frozen sea and has been standing here for an unknown number of years, there is no sign of any living creature in the past.
The monsters that exist in the sea of ice will devour the living creatures that come near them for no reason.
Bears may not have to be afraid of the monsters in the Sea of Ice, but for ordinary Terrans, the existence of these monsters is deadly.
After nearly a day's trek, Sejuani, Olaf and the others finally arrived in front of the Ice Sea.
The vast expanse of the icy sea seemed to be calm, except for the jingle of the ice cubes crashing against each other in the waters along the coast.
In front of them, a majestic bridge stretched across the sea of ice, spreading into the depths of the sea.
Sejuani sat on the back of the steelmane and gazed at the bridge ahead with Olaf.
They all knew that once they crossed the bridge, there was no turning back.
Sejuani and Olaf looked at each other, and Sejuani tugged at the reins of the steelmane.
"Let's go."
The wind and snow in the sky seemed to be bigger, and the sharp snowflakes cut across the exposed skin, giving Sejuani and her group a faint tingling sensation in their skin.
But at the same time, the stinging pain was constantly stimulating the nerves of the group, allowing them to concentrate their attention to the limit.
On the long and boundless bridge, more than a dozen people in the claws of winter were like ants on the sand table, moving forward little by little.
Suddenly, just about a third of the way to the group, the sound of the sea being cut began to be heard in their ears.
Almost as soon as the voice came, everyone clenched their weapons tightly.
"Pedal Pedal ~~"
The footsteps continued, and in the next moment, a pair of bloody maws leaped out from beneath the surface of the sea, heading straight for Sejuani, who was at the head of the group.
"Drink!"
In the face of this sudden huge sea beast, Sejuani waved out the ice chain flail in her hand without hesitation, and the ice wrapped in huge power slammed into the sea beast's head.
With a blow that was enough to crack the mountain, the sea beast's skull shattered almost instantly, scarlet blood and stinking brains flowed all over the ground.
"Speed up!"
Sejuani knew that this was just the beginning.
There are definitely no shortage of sea beasts lurking in the icy sea, and their journey is destined to be full of ups and downs.
In this way, the berserkers, led by Olaf, surrounded Sejuani and Steelmane in the middle, and marched forward as fast as they could.
Along the way, countless sea beasts rushed onto the bridge, trying to swallow these rare human flesh and food, and they all died on the bridge without exception.
As Winterclaw's group approached the Bearren territory, the bridge behind them piled up the corpses of sea beasts.
At the moment when these sea beasts died, the sea beasts in the sea water immediately appeared, swallowing the corpses of these same kind into their mouths, leaving only the stinking blood stains all over the bridge.
Finally, after a long time of killing, just as the group had become numb, they finally saw the coastline gradually emerging on the horizon.
In front of the bridge, a huge rock arch looks like a hell's gate to the ghost gate, and behind the gate is a thunderstorm and the faint roar of a giant bear.
Once they pass through this rock arch, they are truly in the territory of the Bearmen.
Slowly passing through the rock archway, Sejuani couldn't help but look up.
The rock arch was very high, I don't know if it was an illusion or something, Sejuani always felt that there was an extremely strong sense of crisis in her heart, which made her heart extremely depressed, but she couldn't find the source of this sense of crisis.
She had obviously determined that not long ago, the bear people had rushed to the monster ranch, and there should only be some scattered bear people in the bear people's territory at this time.
But why do you still feel uneasy in your heart?
Shaking her head violently, Sejuani continued to walk forward with Olaf and the group.
It was Sejuani's first visit to Bearman Island, and she had to admit that it was very different from what she had imagined.
Numerous towering and hideous mountains dot the perimeter of Bearren Island, forming a natural shelter from the wind, and the interior is a flat and vast plain.
Although Volibel's attitude towards the Terrans is very unfriendly, he is still extremely friendly to the bears under his command.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have lowered his face to beg Orn to build equipment for his bear-man warriors, and the landscape of Bear-Man Island should have been shaped by Volibel.
Stepping on the snow, Sejuani's movements suddenly paused, and then she suddenly raised her hand and gestured to the people behind her.
Look ahead with Sejuani, where, at the end of the valley, there are two bears patrolling back and forth!
Sejuani chose to leave the Berserker and Blood Warrior behind her here, waiting for her and Olaf to return, while she and Olaf touched forward a little bit.
When there was enough distance, Sejuani's hands began to glow with a rich icy blue, and Olaf also clenched the double axe in his hand.
In an instant, just as the two bears turned around, the Ice Flails in Sejuani's hands shot out towards them without hesitation.
"Extremely Cold Hell!"
Steelmane let out a low roar, and stomped heavily on the snow, rushing forward with the Ice Flails.
Olaf also threw his plate axe, and rushed towards the bear-man after Steelmane.
“!!”
Sensing the sound of the air breaking behind them, the two bearmen turned sharply, but it was already too late.
Almost instantly, the Extreme Ice Hell exploded in the middle of them, and the blazing ice energy completely enveloped them, completely freezing them into an ice sculpture.
Then, Sejuani and Steelmane lunged at one of the bearmen, their arm-covered arms slamming into the ice sculpture's head.
"Click!"
The ice sculpture was instantly covered with cracks, and finally shattered completely, spilling ice ballast all over the ground.
Obviously, both of these bearmen were just bearmen transformed from ordinary beast spirit walkers, and their strength was much inferior to the bearmen created by Volibel of the Hunter Lord.
Just after Sejuani had dealt with the first bearman, Olaf came to the other bearman.
The axe in his hand slashed wildly at the ice sculpture, dismembering it in a short time.
"Whew~!"
With a long exhale, Sejuani and Olaf glanced at each other.
There was a solemn look in the eyes of both of them.
Just two normal bears are enough of a headache for them, and once there are more bears behind them, it will be extremely difficult for them to move.
After exchanging glances, the two continued to walk towards the interior of Bearman Island.
Now that they've walked out of the valley, all they need to do is head to the center of Bearman Island to find the traces of the big man!
Starting from the outskirts of Bearman Island, Sejuani and Olaf are a little closer to the central area.
Along the way, although the two encountered several patrolling bear people, they were easily evaded.
Much like the Winterclaw's quarters, there are many tents in the Bearren territory, but the air here is filled with an extremely strong fishy smell, and bare bones can often be seen on the ground.
Finally, after walking cautiously for nearly half a day, Sejuani and Olaf finally came to the very center of the entire Bearman Island.
Along the way, except for the two bears at the exit of the valley, Sejuani did not encounter the slightest obstacle, which made Sejuani feel that things were going smoothly and a little unreal.
Sejuani attributed it all to the fact that the Bearren had gone out to the Monster Ranch and that Bearman Island had never encountered invaders, so it was negligent in its defenses.
After all, this is the home of Voliber, the god of thunder, and what fool would dare to come here to steal, and it's normal to have a loose defense.
Walking through the dense tents in the center of the station, Sejuaniolaf kept an eye out for the Elder while avoiding the lazy bear-man guards.
Both Sejuani and Olaf had heard the old shaman talk about what the old man looked like, so they were sure that if they let them see it, they would recognize it at the first time.
After searching for a long time in the most central area of Bearman Island, Sejuani's body suddenly jerked.
She grabbed Olaf's hand beside her, her eyes fixed on the front.
Olaf was at first a little confused, but as he followed Sejuani's gaze ahead, his eyes widened in an instant.
"Great!"
The moment Olaf spoke, he immediately covered his mouth, but the light in his eyes trembled violently.
Right in front of them, a raging flame sits on top of a huge earth-gray clay pot-like cauldron, from which the mechanting aroma of meat is constantly emanating, and the constant bubbles spill the aroma of the broth into the air.
This cauldron is almost one person high, and the three of them can't be embraced, and the appearance is very simple, but there are many strange magic patterns engraved on it.
Judging from the appearance, all the characteristics of the cauldron in front of him matched the description of the old shaman.
Sejuani's eyes were fixed on the big man in front of her, her hands were clenched, whether the claws of winter could survive this winter comfortably depended on this moment!
Pushing down suddenly, another group of bear-man guards walked in front of him, and Sejuani overheard a few bear-man conversations.
"That's all for today, rest for a while, no one will come anyway."
"What's the matter, what fool who is not afraid of death dares to come to the territory of the bear people to spread wild."
Seeing the pair of bear-man guards leave, Sejuani exchanged a look with Olaf again, and rushed forward without hesitation.
Before reaching the Lord, Sejuani's hands grabbed the rim of the Boss and dragged him down, spilling the golden flesh and soup on the ground.
After doing all this, Sejuani ignored the high temperature that the eldest man was emitting, and directly carried it on his back.
Then she jumped on Steelmane's back, and without hesitation, she turned her direction in the direction she had come.
This set of operations was smooth and was completed almost in an instant.
However, just as Sejuani had already turned around and slammed her legs into the back of the steel mane, she suddenly noticed that the steel mane under her body was trembling violently!
"Steel Mane?"
"Click! Bang! ”
In an instant, a huge lightning bolt that seemed to split the heavens and the earth went from above the sky to below the horizon, followed by a violent roar.
And at the moment when the thunder fell, a deep voice full of banter sounded.
"Daughter of Winterclaw, are you leaving? Do you want me to have someone bring you some more meat? ”
“!!!”
Sejuani's body shuddered violently, then she turned her head sharply to look into the sky behind her.
It was also at this time that Sejuani saw clearly the dark clouds and thunderstorm that were always filled with endless thunder, to be exact, the towering shadow hidden in the thunderstorm!
In the midst of the dark clouds, and then flashes of lightning, Sejuani saw a war bear almost as high as the sky, and beside him, many bears were laughing sarcastically.
"My god really expects things like gods, they are really here, hahahaha!"
Sejuani's body trembled violently, and a strong sense of death appeared in her eyes.
She knew she had lost.
Or maybe all her actions were watched by Volibel!
Sejuani jumped off Steelmane's back, the Ice Chain in her hand hanging from the ground, and she slowly raised her head to look at the towering shadow in the sky.
Central Freljord, Auenkar Rocks.
It was once a sanctuary shared by the Avarosa and Winterclaw tribes, and was a frequent pilgrimage to Ash and Sejuani as children.
It became a sanctuary because it was once the place where Orn and his fellow demigods met.
Although the old gods no longer come here, there is still a remnant of their powerful old god aura here.
In front of the Frost Altar, a figure that had been sitting cross-legged for an unknown amount of time slowly stood up.
At the moment when he got up, countless phantoms of beast spirits suddenly erupted from his body.
The beast spirit phantoms collided and intertwined with each other, and in the end, only four beast spirit phantoms were suspended by his side.
These four beast spirit phantoms are: giant bear, wild boar, ram, and ice phoenix!
After returning from Ionia, Udir thought he had been able to control the power of the beast spirit in his body and use it to benefit Winterclaw.
However, the last battle in the city of Noxus had severely damaged Udil's confidence.
Even though he had mastered the beast spirit in his body, he still couldn't resist Volibel's will.
When facing an ancient god, he was still too weak after all, and if it weren't for the timely appearance of Zuochi and Anivia, Winterclaw would probably have completely become a slave of the Bearren Clan.
After arriving in the territory of Winterclaw, Udir is determined to change all this, and he must increase his strength.
And all of this starts with contact with more powerful beast spirits!
Now, with his strong will, he has completely mastered the aura of the ancient gods that remain here, and has gained some of their power.
It's time to go back.
Udir stepped out of the Frost Altar in the Rock of Ornkar Sanctuary and rushed towards the territory of Winterclaw.
However, not long after Udil's departure, many Frostwolf Knights of Winterclaw appeared in front of him.
"Huh?"
Approaching, Freina quickly came to Udir's side and told Udir all about what Olaf had told her before.
"What!" Udir grabbed Freina's arm.
After forcibly stabilizing his emotions, Udil rushed towards the north without hesitation.
"Ask for help from the War Mother Ash, and be sure to ask her and her blood alliance to come over!"
Udir knows Voliber's cunning better than anyone else, so he must stop Sejuani before she makes a big mistake.
A burst of ice blue energy suddenly erupted in his body, and the phantom of an ice phoenix flashed away on Olaf's body, and the violent wind and snow blew, and his speed was also increased to the limit at this moment.
