Chapter 517 The Final Boss of the Thousand Cang Ice Garden
Guild headquarters, underground prayer room.
On the towering prayer platform, a faint smile appeared on Uranus's usually impassive face as he said, "The children of the Loki family from the Astrea Familia have entered the core area of the Thousand Ice Garden."
"Is there a problem?"
Fels keenly noticed Uranus's unusual behavior. He had been a private soldier of the guild for hundreds of years and had been in contact with this old god for many years. The old god was as calm and steady as an ancient mountain and rarely showed any emotional fluctuations.
In other words, every time Uranus experienced an emotional fluctuation, it meant that something big was about to happen.
A smile from an old man, and life or death is unpredictable!
"They are about to touch a corner of the truth, but do they have the courage to bear the truth, and the determination to move forward even with everything on their shoulders?" Uranus asked. As a god, he also came down to seek "fun," but his "fun" was different from that of the other gods.
Upon hearing this, Fels' heart sank. The truth? What exactly is inside the Thousand Cang Ice Garden?
Roy, Alphia, and the others are heroes who fought against the black dragon. Judging from Uranus's tone, even Roy and his group couldn't handle that place.
Fels and Roy were close friends. He took out the eye crystal, intending to remind Roy, but found that he couldn't make contact at all, and the image inside the eye crystal was blurry.
"That place is special."
Uranus said that the Azure Ice Garden could even affect Roy's spatial magic, and the eye crystals used for communication by hand would also be limited, failing if the distance was too far.
Fels felt a strange sense of suffocation and silently prayed for Roy, hoping nothing bad would happen to him.
at the same time.
Roy and his companions continued their advance inside the dungeon!
Roy, wielding the elven holy sword, raised the surrounding temperature. The ice crystal monsters were dealt with by the girls, while Riveria, whose magic resonated with that of the Thousand Ice Garden, led the way towards the core area.
Occasionally, a level 9 monster will appear, but it will be blasted to pieces by Alphia's sonic cannon.
Although the Thousand Cang Ice Garden is extremely difficult to conquer, the outer areas are clearly no match for Roy and his group.
The group had been traveling straight for more than two hours when Alicia exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this area is huge! In theory, it should be easy to find."
The girls nodded; this place was too eerie.
"It should be a spatial technology. For example, it may appear to be just an ordinary room, but once you enter, the actual area is hundreds of times larger," Roy replied. In the original timeline, when the Orario Alliance was fighting against the Filthy Fairy, they broke through the floors, and "Thousand Cang Ice Garden" fell to an even deeper floor.
"They can do something like this? These ancient heroes are truly amazing," Daphne exclaimed in amazement.
The number of powerful individuals in ancient times was far less than that of today.
But those few who can stand at the very top in any era are not to be underestimated, no matter where they are placed. The more than thirty ancient heroes on the Hero Bridge have been passed down through the ages, and their value is beyond doubt. With the help of the great immortals, they have a bunch of fancy abilities.
"Commander, look over there!"
While slaying monsters and chatting, the team approached their destination. Deep in the blizzard, the temple that Roy and Riveria had once seen appeared faintly.
The moment they saw the temple, the blizzard suddenly became even more violent, as if it had its own consciousness and wanted to keep the intruders out.
"All troops, charge!"
Roy made a quick decision: the temple interfered with spatial magic and could not be directly teleported; otherwise, he and Riveria would have gone in last time.
Before he finished speaking, Roy swung his sword, and a fierce crimson slash tore through the blizzard before him, hurtling straight toward the temple and clearing a path.
The storm that shrouded the sky was forcibly torn apart by Roy.
Alphia, Tione, Tiona, Ais, and Riveria led the way, followed closely by Daphne, Cassandra, and Haruhime, while Roy stayed at the back, cautiously observing the unusual surroundings.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Just as they crossed a certain boundary, the ice crystal guards of the guardian temple suddenly raised their heads, their eyes flashing with blood-red light, and charged towards Roy and the others like a thousand troops, raising dust and shaking the earth.
Roy and Alphia instantly realized:
These ice crystal guardians have average stats far superior to the monsters on the perimeter, with a minimum level of LV.8, and some mixed in with LV.8.
9, imposing presence.
"Don't get in my way!"
Alphia led the way, her elegant and beautiful figure tumbling and dancing, yet she crushed through like a ferocious Tyrannosaurus Rex, her small pink fists shattering the body of a LV.8 Ice Crystal Guardian with ease.
Even the level 9 Ice Crystal Guardian is no exception; it's just a matter of taking two or three more seconds.
Alphia's true combat strength is extraordinary.
She is capable of fighting opponents of higher levels, and with her dragon physique, she defies common sense. Without top-tier equipment, Roy could at most go toe-to-toe with her. Any other adventurer of the same level would have been crushed by Roy long ago.
Roar!
With a thought, Alphia activated the skill "Shadow of the Dragon Emperor," and a massive dragon materialized from the void, charging straight down and flattening a large group of ice crystal warriors.
Tiony, Tiona, Ais, and the others were not to be outdone and killed the ice crystal guards on the left and right sides.
thump!
Fighting their way through the ice crystal guards, Roy and the girls traversed the vast ice plains and entered the temple.
As soon as they stepped into the temple, the ice crystal guards that had been relentlessly pursuing them stopped and returned to their original positions. The shattered ice shards floated up lightly, returning to their original state, completely unharmed.
"Immortality?"
The girls were taken aback by what they saw.
"No, it's a special magical item, probably provided by the Thousand Cang Ice Garden," Roy said. Having been promoted to V.9, he chose the "Mysterious" development ability and saw through the secrets of these ice crystal guardians at a glance.
Fels also has similar clay dolls that will continuously repair themselves as long as they are not completely destroyed and continue to receive magical power, similar to biological Imperial Arms.
In comparison, the ice crystal guardians of Qiancang Ice Garden are many times stronger, so generalizations cannot be made.
In any case, they managed to get in.
"It's a success!"
The girls cheered with joy. The temple was silent, the freezing blizzard kept out. All that was left was to find the "Demon Saint's Staff" and the game would be over.
"How do you feel?" Alphia asked Roy.
Roy always felt that Alphia treated him like a danger sensor, that she knew the amazing nature of his "intuition" ability, and that "there is no danger for the time being."
From the moment he saw the temple, Roy pushed his "intuition" to its limit, entering a brief state of precognition. The Ice Crystal Guardian seemed to be the final obstacle.
As Roy looked on in confusion, two small hands grabbed his clothes at the same time. He turned around and saw that it was Ais and Rivera. "What's wrong?"
Ais looked confused. "There's a windy smell."
Rivera said, "I also have a bad feeling; the Saintess's magic is very strange."
Both of them looked at the very center of the temple at the same time.
Following their gaze, the most striking thing in the temple was undoubtedly the ice coffin carved entirely from ice, filled with thick ice mist, where a blurry figure could be vaguely seen lying quietly.
Although they entered the core area of the Thousand Cang Ice Garden without any major incidents, no one dared to underestimate the place, as the eerie situation there was truly breathtaking.
Roy said, "Don't open it for now. You can move around freely, but be aware of your companions around you."
"good!"
The girls spread out, pairing up to look after each other, and carefully searched the temple.
Roy remained where he was, examining the ice coffin inside the temple. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. He frowned; the style was somewhat similar to his Frost King's coffin, and the "corpse" inside was most likely left behind thousands of years ago.
He touched it and, as expected of an ice coffin for preserving corpses, a chilling coldness spread up his arm. Fortunately, his LV.9 physique was not to be underestimated.
A moment later, the girls returned.
Roy glanced around, and the girls gently shook their heads. They cautiously and excitedly searched the entire temple, but found nothing unusual.
"It seems the only thing that's wrong is here." Everyone's attention returned to the ice coffin.
Lefia asked curiously, "Could it be the corpse of the 'Primordial Saintess' Celtia inside?"
"I think it's just a treasure!"
"Who uses a coffin to hold treasures or burial goods?"
"Ideally, the key we want should be inside."
The girls offered their guesses.
Riveria pursed her lips, a hint of hesitation flashing across her small face. If it was the corpse of the progenitor Celtia, would she be considered to be insulting the remains of her ancestor?
"rest assured!"
Only Roy knew that Celia's body couldn't possibly be here. He had dug up her grave in the underworld before, and he had even obtained the bloodline of the elven royal family and the elven holy sword because of her.
Hearing Roy's voice, Rivera felt relieved and trusted him even more.
Tiony asked, "Captain, shall we open it?"
"Hmm, everyone be careful!" Roy pondered, realizing that since they couldn't find the "Demon Saint's Staff," this was all they could do.
Tiona, Ais, Alexie, and Kaguya—without exception—stepped back five meters, aimed their weapons at the ice coffin, and showed solemn expressions. Daphne held a large shield to protect Cassandra and Haruhime.
The truth about Qiancang Ice Garden is right in front of them.
"call!"
Tiony took a deep breath of the cold air, placed her two small hands on the huge coffin lid that emanated coldness, and with astonishing strength, pushed it forward.
Although the coffin lid was heavy, Tione had already reached LV.8.
Squeak! Squeak!
The heavy coffin lid was pushed open a crack, and a dense, chilling white aura surged out. Wherever the aura passed, it condensed into fine ice crystals, which fell down in a flurry, causing the surrounding temperature to drop another notch.
Tiony continued pushing, and the heavy coffin lid was pushed open, crashing heavily to the ground.
Everyone instinctively held their breath, their eyes fixed on the center of the churning, cold mist.
As the icy chill dissipated slightly.
The scene inside the ice coffin was revealed to everyone: a young man's body, almost perfectly preserved, with a peaceful expression, as if he were simply in a deep sleep.
The other person's skin had an eerie, jade-like luster, without the slightest sign of decay.
A long, simple scarf was wrapped around the young man's neck, which seemed out of place and conveyed an indescribable sense of loneliness and mystery.
Two objects were placed beside him: on his left was an ancient-style longsword, and on his right was a deep blue staff, its slender shaft flowing with a faint yet chilling magical aura.
"impossible!"
Upon seeing the young man's face inside the ice coffin, everyone present changed their expressions. Daphne, Alexie, and Kaguya's pupils dilated in shock, Cassandra and Lefia covered their mouths, and Ais and Riveria were stunned.
Alphia also frowned.
They're so familiar, they're so familiar!
Or rather, everyone who has ever lived in Orario knows of his existence. Even after thousands of years, the statue of this handsome young man still stands in the center of Heroes' Bridge.
The great hero Albert!
The strongest ancient hero who defeated the black dragon, his body lies quietly in this ice coffin.
"Commander!"
"Lord Roy!"
Tiony, Daphne, Haruhime, and the others instinctively looked at Roy, the pillar of the team.
Roy frowned. Other statues that have survived to this day would have changed to some extent, but the Hero Bridge was built by the god Gubernius. Thousands of years is nothing to a god.
That's why the statues are so similar to the ancient heroes that people can recognize them at a glance.
Roy quickly spotted the staff to the right of Albert's corpse, which was their target—the Staff of the Demon Saint that opened the passage to deeper floors.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!"
Ais's breathing became rapid, her golden eyes fixed on the young man inside the ice coffin, feeling a connection of blood, as if the surrounding wind was calling to her.
A strong wind began to rise, wrapping around Ais's body.
Just as everyone was stunned by the frozen remains and the strange artifacts.
Click!
A faint cracking sound rang out, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Roy quickly pinpointed the source of the sound.
A crystal-clear ice coffin.
Resonating with Ais's wind, a turquoise gale surged from the youth's body. Impacted by the gale, countless cracks appeared inside the massive ice coffin, spreading wildly until it became dilapidated.
Roy withdrew his hand; it was too late. He foresaw the future and continued to grasp at the Demon Saint's Staff, knowing his hand would be torn apart by the wind from the father and daughter.
Rumble!
The ice coffin in front of them shattered instantly, and countless fragments shimmering with a cold, eerie blue light shot out.
The girls, who had already distanced themselves, handled the situation with ease, making it impossible for them to hurt Roy.
Ice dust filled the air!
In the heart of the still-lingering chill, the young man lying on the ice crystal shards suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed for countless years.
An even more terrifying, extreme chill, accompanied by a storm and a heavy pressure, erupted from the youth, sweeping across the entire temple.
Those below LV.9, such as Tione, Riveria, and Daphne, all felt immense pressure.
Then, the "corpse" moved.
Albert supported himself on the ground with one hand and slowly stood up. His body, which had been frozen for many years, made a sound of strain, as if it were glass and might shatter at any moment. His pupils were empty and lifeless, coldly sweeping over everyone present.
Between the staff and the longsword, Albert chose the latter, picking up the ancient longsword.
