I don’t know where Artoris’s confidence comes from, but since she is determined to find Baron, there is no reason why Elena, her companion, should not support her. After all, in her opinion, that boy is indeed very malleable. Since the other person is destined to have a future, as a senior, Elena does not want to let him die easily.
Although the cold season has not yet arrived, the surrounding air seems very tense. Admittedly, this is caused by the abnormality of magic element.
After listening carefully, I realized that the forest that was supposed to be filled with the annoying chirping of insects was completely silent.
Stepping up her pace and walking in the dusk forest, she raised her head and looked at the flying figure of the elf woman in front of her. Artoris's expression gradually became serious.
As early as three days ago, when I stepped into the so-called "final realm" in Elena's mouth, what I have seen has always been this miserable situation.
If the magic element is abnormal to this extent, it can already be considered a disaster! Calling it a forest would be an exaggeration. Metaphorically speaking, this place is like a dead place, like a volcano that suddenly erupted, spewing out deadly poisonous gas and exterminating all living creatures nearby. You can't feel the warmth of life at all here.
And for Elaina, the daughter of the elf who never hesitated anywhere as long as it was a forest, this place was still so daunting - it was enough to show that this area was filled with an excessive aura of death.
"The remaining magic elements in the deep pit have not dispersed yet. There should have been a battle here, but the traces are not clear enough." Hanging on a high branch, Elena covered her mouth and nose and reported what she had discovered. Notify Artolis of the abnormality.
But even without the other party telling her, Artolis had already seen the results with her own eyes.
"..."
It was like the center of an explosion. Although he was walking in the forest, his field of vision suddenly opened up. Of course, it was an open space that would not have existed a few hours ago.
No, how could this scene be simply summarized as an open space.
The overwhelming traces of destruction were like relying solely on brute force and following instinct.
The surrounding trees were broken and the ground was churning. It looked like the traces of a fierce battle. It was not as careless as Elena described.
It's obviously such an exaggeration, but this is still not the scene.
This is the scene even on the way, and I don’t know what kind of hell or death it will be at the end.
Artoris didn't hesitate in her steps. After nodding in response to Elena's expectations, the two accelerated their pace again.
If the scene in front of them is the work of Barong, then the opponent is most likely right in front of them. For the first time in five months, they have found clues about Barong. With such clues, they believe that another encounter will come soon.
Therefore, no matter what happens ahead, Artoris is already prepared for it; no matter what scene she sees next, her spirit will never be shaken.
However, the girl's determination that she was so sure of collapsed in the blink of an eye.
"...What?" He was speechless.
It can't even be described in words. Every inch of the air is showing an abnormal sight. Even Artolis, who has a lot of experience, can only be dumbfounded.
If the previous vision were compared to a stove in a kitchen, then this could be considered a real feeding hall.
It was as if alcohol had been poured directly into the brainstem, creating an unbearable feeling of intoxication. The "magic dizziness" that had been getting worse and worse like an alarm bell had finally reached its peak at this moment.
Artoris, who possesses the ability to resist [Eternal Life Protection] far beyond ordinary people, can hardly resist the poison. Even if it is not strengthened by magic expansion, it is already strong enough to be seen, carrying an extremely ominous poison. The breath filled the air around him.
This is not an explosion center, but a bombing zone!
Everything within a radius of more than ten miles was completely destroyed, and everything within sight was filled with fog like burning tar. A curse like radioactive material spread wantonly, spreading invisible pain.
However, if it is only to this extent, it is not enough to make people quatrain.
Although the traces of destruction beyond human intelligence, as well as the magical anomaly that seems to devour all living beings, are terrifying enough, for Atoris, who has traveled through too many realms beyond human beings, these are not enough to break through. Her imagination.
What really left Artolis speechless was the countless remains of ice blades scattered throughout the area.
Knife, sword, spear, halberd, shield, spear, bow, axe, hammer, hammer, sickle, hook, pickaxe, ax...
Broken, shattered, twisted, cracked, melted and those that maintain their original shape in front of them.
Ice blades of all kinds and shapes, like stabbings and tombstones, were inserted into every inch of the land as far as the sight could see.
It was as if after a war, tens of thousands of soldiers would die in a fierce battle here, which was deeply reflected in the girl's blue eyes.
Of course, Artolis knew very well that it was impossible for such a thing to happen in such a place.
In other words, these tens of thousands of broken blades and the tragic situation like the center of an explosion are all traces of war left by the battle between the two sides.
"It's him……"
Came nearby and wanted to pick up the broken blade.
However, the moment Atoris reached out to touch it, the broken blade seemed to have been exposed to extreme heat, melting and turning into snow and flowing from her palm.
"The ability to convert ice soul into all things, in the conversion of matter, simply transcends the system. This kind of power cannot be contained by the protection. It has gone beyond the special and is completely a special field." Elena obviously It was also the first time I had seen this sight. Although I knew from previous battles that Baron had the ability to control ice, it was completely beyond Elena's understanding to be able to show this effect.
"The witch dormant in the ice and snow comes from the power of the Ice King. Otherwise, if such easy fouls really existed, the world would not need any scholars or magicians."
After all, the scene in front of him is an indisputable fact. The Snow Trace Invitation in Barong's hands cannot be regarded as his own power. At the same time, if this strange phenomenon is considered to be caused by the Ice King's ability being expanded by magic elements, then it will not be difficult to recall what happened here a long time ago.
Artoris explained, silently clenching her fists.
It is estimated that Barong overdraws his magic power and converts all the existence coefficients here into weapons, and uses them continuously to compete with his opponents.
It is enough to show that it is far less than just one weapon. Even after so many confrontations on the scene, the seriously injured monster is still strong, seemingly endlessly repeating destruction and killing, gradually destroying Barong. Must be in desperate situation.
The scene in front of me is more like a legend than a war. It can even remind people of the hero who conquered the evil dragon.
Just imagining it made Artolis break out in a cold sweat.
"——Boom!" At this moment, a devastating explosion sounded from the distance, attracting the attention of the two people.
Artoris suddenly raised her head, looking at the "sin karma" surging among the mountains in the distance, and gritted her teeth hard.
