Chapter 426 The Saintess's Legacy, The Elven Holy Sword Upgrades!
Woohoo! Woohoo!
Like the howling of countless souls wailing in the depths of an icy abyss, the razor-sharp gale, carrying blizzards, emitted a chilling shriek that sent shivers down one's spine.
An environment even colder than the "Glacier Region"!
The raging wind and snow intertwined to form an incredibly thick, pale white veil, compressing the field of vision to its extreme. Through this churning chaos, one could vaguely glimpse the surrounding scenery. The entire ice field was covered by a stretch of deathly silence and gray, monotonous, cold, and devoid of life.
Even with Roy's top-tier LV.7 physique, he was finding it hard to withstand. The chill invaded his brain, and frost formed on his body at a visible speed. Even the all-attribute fairy essence protective cloth couldn't block the chill.
Roy wasn't completely frozen because another force within him was at work—his elven royal bloodline was subtly resonating with the surrounding magic.
Rivera next to her was the same.
Click!
Roy struggled slightly, and with a crisp sound, the frost on his body cracked.
Looking out, this pale land is dotted with ridges of varying sizes and jagged shapes. At first glance, they could easily be mistaken for ice rocks sculpted by wind and snow over thousands of years or natural hills and valleys.
But this is a fatal illusion!
Their truth is that they are "frozen corpses"!
The enormous frost lion gaped its massive jaws, its fangs menacing; the colossal ice serpent coiled like a mountain, its body poised to strangle; and even the frost dragons spread their wings, ready to take flight—countless ferocious, roaring creatures were instantly sealed away by the absolute zero cold.
They are all powerful deep-seated species that inhabit the area below the sixtieth floor, and each of them possesses the terrifying power to destroy a top-tier adventurer team! Despite being frozen in ice, these monsters still exude a powerful aura that is both chilling and tangible.
However, even such a thing exists.
These monsters, too, could not escape the icy chill of this desolate land!
Thousand Cang Ice Garden!
When Roy realized where he had been dragged into, he was startled; this was uncharted territory that even Zeus and Hera's Familia had failed to conquer.
No, it's a sealing domain!
Right here in this desolate, frozen world!
Deep in the snowstorm, a figure as black as ink suddenly tore through the pale curtain without warning, moving with extreme speed, leaving only a twisted trail, carrying a chilling killing intent, and rushing straight towards Riveria!
"!"
Rivera caught a glimpse of the approaching afterimage out of the corner of her eye, and her expression changed drastically. So fast! That chilling aura of death locked onto her throat, and even with her LV.7 reaction and speed, she didn't have time to make an effective dodge!
At the critical moment!
A strange spatial fluctuation occurred, and an invisible ripple spread out around Riveria.
Roy stepped forward, his strong arms encircling Riveria's slender waist. The next moment, the spatial ripples shook violently once more! The two figures suddenly blurred and vanished from the spot!
"Whoosh!"
The jet-black claws, accompanied by a biting wind, fiercely grabbed at the spot where Riveria had been standing, but only tore through the remaining air and swirling ice crystals.
A few dozen meters away, space was slightly distorted.
Roy and Riveria's figures solidified again.
Their gazes locked onto the dark figure, revealing its true form: an elite lizardman clad in translucent ice crystal armor, radiating an abyssal chill! The ice crystal armor covered its entire body, with sharp ice spikes growing from its joints. Its eyes were devoid of emotion, making it seem like a killing machine born for this frigid death zone!
One of the monsters from the deep layers.
"roar!"
Missing its target, the Ice Crystal Lizardman roared angrily, its narrow, ice-blue vertical pupils locking onto the two once more. Its figure transformed into a streak of ice-blue lightning, traversing dozens of meters in an instant, its ferocious momentum unleashed as it pounced once more.
"Hmph!" Roy scoffed. It was one thing for the other party to sneak attack Riveria, who was a rear-guard mage, but to dare to be so presumptuous in front of him was tantamount to courting death!
Roy's arms were firmly wrapped around Riveria's soft, graceful waist, protecting her at his side. He exuded absolute confidence and dominance, multitasking as he dealt with the Ice Crystal Lizardman's frenzied charge.
Holding Roy so intimately in her arms, Riveria's beautiful face flushed with an irresistible blush. Her innate elf reserve made her feel a little flustered and strange.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Roy's handsome profile, with its strong, confident lines, and felt the warmth and strength emanating from his steady, powerful arms—an unprecedented sense of security replaced her panic.
Rivera pursed her cherry lips, suppressing all her distracting thoughts. What exactly was this place?
Click!
Just as the Ice Crystal Lizardman's claws were about to strike Roy's clothes...
In a flash, Roy activated his magic, his right palm suddenly shooting out. Dazzling golden lightning erupted from his palm, and with his hand covered in lightning, he neither dodged nor avoided, grabbing at the incoming ice crystal claws.
boom!!
Golden lightning clashed with azure ice crystal claws, blinding sparks mixed with shattered ice shards, and bursts of fiery light erupted at the point of impact, the terrifying energy shockwave pushing away the surrounding wind and snow.
As he parried, Roy tensed his waist, twisting it like a powerful bowstring, and his fully charged left leg swept out with a piercing sonic boom.
boom!
The dull, drum-like impact.
The powerful whip kick landed precisely on the lizardman's abdomen, which was covered in ice armor!
Even a deep-seed species with potential reaching LV.7, further amplified by the Ice Garden, could still produce a shocking, muffled cracking sound from its powerful body under the terrifying blow.
The ice crystal lizardman's body flew backward uncontrollably, landing more than a hundred meters away.
"hiss!"
It carved a deep trench in the ice, barely managing to raise its ferocious head.
The space rippled slightly, and Roy's figure reappeared above it like a ghost!
The enormous hand, imbued with the power to shatter mountains, pressed down on the head of the ice crystal lizardman with an irresistible pressure, like the judgment of a giant god.
Boom!
A terrifying force penetrated through his body.
Roy pressed the Ice Crystal Lizardman's head down, driving it into the incredibly hard frozen ground.
The earth trembled violently, and countless deep, spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly from the point of impact, forming a shockingly huge crater! Ice fragments and rocks shot up like fountains.
Bang!
The Ice Crystal Lizardman dissipated into countless ice crystals, and a crystal-clear, dazzling magic stone fell into Roy's hand, completely different from ordinary magic stones.
Roy played with the special magic stone, sensing it through magic, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Where is this?" Rivera's dignified and elegant phoenix eyes swept around, and she also noticed the difference between this place and the "Glacier Domain". Her cherry lips pursed tightly.
Roy replied, "The Thousand Azure Ice Garden!"
Upon hearing this, Rivera's emerald pupils contracted sharply. No wonder the blizzard swept her and Roy here, leaving everyone else out.
This field will resonate with her and Roy!
Roy was not surprised by Riveria's reaction. The Thousand Ice Garden was a place that the Loki Familia had been searching for, and he did not expect it to end up here at this crucial moment of defeating the true form of the Filthy Fairy.
The Thousand Cang Ice Garden is located on the sixtieth floor, but it is not a "creation" of the underground city. It is likely a special area created by the Elf Princess Celtia.
It has a history of over a thousand years.
Very few people are able to enter this field.
Even the once-powerful Zeus and Hera clans were defeated by the "Thousand Ice Garden." Without the bloodline of the Elven royal family, it was impossible to conquer this realm. Anyone else who entered would either be frozen to death at absolute zero or be assimilated into icy beasts by the realm.
"The Primordial Saintess (Celtia)!"
A complex look appeared deep in Riveria's eyes. The Thousand Cang Ice Garden, which she had been searching for for many years, had appeared before her in such an abrupt way.
This special field has a deep connection with her.
Besides that, there's another reason!
By chance, Zeus's Familia also entered the Thousand Cang Ice Garden. In addition to bringing back a small number of adventurers' relics, they also brought back a special creature.
Little Ais, frozen for thousands of years!
The Thousand Ice Garden, created by Celtia, contains frozen objects that can only be unsealed by members of the Elven royal family. It wasn't until Zeus's Familia handed over that huge "block of ice" to Riveria that Ais was released.
In order to find out Ais's background and untangle the girl's knot, the Thousand Ice Garden is a place that the Loki Familia must conquer, but information about this area is being tightly controlled by the Guild's Royman.
Riveria felt helpless about this and regarded the guild boar as a disgrace to the elves.
All the intelligence was discovered by the Zeus Familia. They didn't care and casually tossed it to the guild, but it became Royman's trump card to manipulate other Familias.
Swish!
Roy sensed something and took out the Elven Holy Sword from his spatial ring. This powerful legendary weapon now looked desolate. Countless spiderweb-like cracks covered the slender blade, winding and intertwining, like a piece of glass art that could shatter at any moment.
That was a terrible wound left from the all-out battle with Ota, and even now it has not fully recovered; it was barely usable before.
When the Holy Sword of the Elf was exposed in the Thousand Ice Garden.
A sudden change has occurred!
The faint glow on the sword suddenly brightened, and the mysterious and fantastical inscriptions lit up one by one, creating a wonderful resonance with the vast, icy, and pure magic power that was omnipresent in the Thousand Cang Ice Garden.
hum!hum!hum!
The elven holy sword trembled gently in Roy's hand, subtle and lively, filled with indescribable joy and delight, like a child who has been lost for a long time and has finally smelled the scent of home, unable to help but cheer.
"This—this weapon is—"
Riveria stared blankly at the elven holy sword in Roy's hand, her lips slightly parted, as if she sensed a kind of intimate call from the depths of her bloodline.
In fact, Riveria had this feeling long ago and was the first to realize the truth about what Roy's elven holy sword really was.
Rivera subconsciously reached out her delicate, boneless hand, with maternal tenderness, and gently stroked the cold cracks on the sword.
"You—"
Her voice trembled with a hint of helplessness at the end.
Rivera felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but look up, her eyes, like a shimmering emerald river, filled with a mixture of anger and tenderness, as she glared reproachfully at Roy. He was really neglecting this priceless treasure.
It was just that slight glare!
Rivera's captivating charm, evident in the way her eyes and brows exuded a noble yet indescribably vivid and charming quality, was in no way inferior to Freya's, yet she possessed none of evil or seductiveness; instead, she evoked a sense of holiness and elegance.
It makes your heart race and makes your heart flutter!
And also the instant her fingertips touched the blade.
A miracle happened!
Roy gripped the hilt of the sword, while Rivera stroked its spine. As if activating some special program, the vast and pure magic around them found its home and rushed toward the elven holy sword.
A hint of panic flashed across Riveria's beautiful face as she watched the violent surge of magical power unleashed by her touch on the holy sword. Thinking that her actions had been reckless, she instinctively tried to pull her hand back.
Her fingers had just loosened slightly.
Roy reacted even faster, his broad and powerful hand gripping Riveria's slightly cool, flustered hand along with the hilt of the elven holy sword.
The warmth and strength of their palms touching made Rivera's heart tremble, and she looked up to meet Roy's calm eyes.
It was as if he understood what Roy meant.
At the same time, they could feel the elven holy sword pulsating with increasing joy as the two came into contact!
Rivera's slender fingers no longer retreated, but instead stretched out obediently and proactively, passing through Roy's fingers and interlocking tightly with his.
Their hands intertwined perfectly, gripping the hilt of the elven holy sword together. At that moment, their will, power, bloodline, and even souls were perfectly connected through this armor, guiding together the surging torrent of magic.
Buzz—buzz—!
With the two of them holding it together, the elven holy sword emitted an even clearer and more cheerful sound!
Greedily absorbing and merging with the surging magic, brilliant light flowed along the cracks, and the shocking cracks on the sword were repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye—the shattered glory was being reforged.
The special magic stone that Roy had just killed the Ice Crystal Lizardman dropped also turned to ashes in his hands, its internal energy drained by the Elven Holy Sword.
Using the magic left behind by the elven saintess Celtia in the Thousand Ice Garden, the elven holy sword undergoes a qualitative change.
