chapter-960
The four friends managed to get inside the area, but Kabrakan is incredibly damaged. He even got reduced to 26% health when his defense is boosted by 1000%. Levin Cloud healed him back to full as his armor suddenly melted back to the ground as it is no longer needed.
[You have entered an area in the far north. You have resisted due to your special body.]
"The wind is different here." Adrian stated.
"You think?" Levin Cloud stated as he and Kabrakan started shivering.
Adrian had to summon Kanlaon and ordered him to warm up both Levin Cloud and Kabrakan. Peridot could hold out thanks to her draconic body. Kanlaon has already increased his level to 180 now and is about fifteen meters long. It would take some time before he returns to his previous size but the power in his body is already much more than before."Much better. Kanlaon is really convenient. I need a mount that can help me like these." Levin Cloud stated as he has yet to find a mount that can help him traverse things.
"I already told you to look for a monster and I will help you with capturing it." Adrian stated.
"It is not that easy." Levin Cloud replied.
"You are just picky." Peridot added.
"I am sorry that I do not have a mount that is a Qilin. If I also have a mythical tier beast, then I might get back to you." Levin Cloud sassily replied.
"We are near. You both need to stop your love quarrel." Kabrakan stated as he led the team to the source of the energy.
"Are we close?" Nightshade asked Chief Artica."We are near, but you need to be careful as the sorceress might control my clansmen to protect the great weapon. It is something that can slay her after all." Chief Artica stated.
"So, are you saying that we should not kill them?" Nightshade asked.
"I fear that they might have already been brainwashed to believe that anyone that wants to get acknowledge by the great weapon is an enemy. We should get them out of their misery. They could at least die being valiant warriors believing that they are fighting for something." Chief Artica stated.
"Noted then." Nightshade agreed albeit a bit doubtful that Chief Artica wanted to kill the warriors instead of capturing them.
The expedition team then reached the area of the sealed god slaying weapon. The church of light priest players kept saying that the area is cursed but the priests of the church of the twin gods could not negate it. The others always doubted the priest players from the church of the twin gods because they were not able to give them a path inside.
The expedition team soon came to an area with a large cave in front of them. Just as they are about to go forward, numerous white feathers suddenly are fired in front of them. Each white feather is sharp to the point that they got buried in the ground despite it being covered in thick snow.
"Stop!" A voice suddenly echoed in the distance as five humanoid shadows suddenly came out of the icy forest around them.
The five persons that came out of the icy forest are none other than snow owl beast men. They are the proud warriors of the clan and almost look the same. The snow owl beast men have feathers as hair that are a combined white and black streak. All of their eyes have yellow sclera and black pupils with a sharp looking gaze.
"Turn back now adventurers or else face the wrath of the Snow Owl Clan." One of the snow owl beast man warriors stated as he seemed to be the leader of the group.
"I have come to get the acknowledgement of the great weapon. Please grant me passage warriors." Nightshade stated as he thought that he can ask for permission.
"There are no great weapons here that you speak. Only the cursed weapon is held here and should not be unsealed, or else doom will fall upon the world." One of the snow owl beast man warriors stated.
"Are you sure about them being possessed, Chief Artica?" Nightshade asked but the woman suddenly vanished from his side.
"We do not detect curse magic being implemented, young master." One of the priests of the Church of the Twin Gods stated.
"Should we even bother? We should just push through now." One of the mercenary players stated as his class is a warrior. He is already itching for a battle since they mostly traversed terrain.
"Go then. I will go dive inside the cave while all of you will fight them. You can just contain them as defeating them will not be easy." Nightshade stated as he suddenly turned into a streak of shadows and headed inside the cave.
The snow owl beast men wanted to stop Nightshade as they could feel his presence enter the cave, but they are suddenly attacked by the mercenaries. The mercenaries are aiming for the bonus that they will receive if Nightshade successfully gets the weapon. If Nightshade gets the weapon, then they will receive twice the payment that they are promised.
The fighting started and no one noticed a small snow owl fly towards the cave as well. This owl is one other than Artica that used magic on herself to hide her presence. Nightshade managed to enter the cave with the help of the mercenaries and reverted back to his humanoid form.
"Great Adventurer!" Chief Artica suddenly called out.
"You almost shocked me to death. Where were you before?" Nightshade asked as he saw the figure of Artica materialize out of thin air.
"I am sorry about that as I needed to hide my presence or else the sorceress might know that it was me who led you inside." Chief Artica stated in an apologetic tone.
"No need to apologize as I understand but make sure to tell me that beforehand. Is that the weapon?" Nightshade asked as he pointed towards a scythe floating in the distance. It is releasing an ominous energy that makes everyone bow down to it.
"Yes! That is the weapon, but you need to be careful as the sorceress created a spell that expels any person that gets near it. We must first find the artifact that the sorceress used to create the wind barrier in this cave." Chief Artica stated.
"I see. Do you have an idea on what that artifact is?" Nightshade asked as he also tried going forward in his shadow form, but he got pushed by a strong gust of wind.
"The artifact is not a tangible one as it is the very wind covering the great weapon. You need to help me reach that so I can dispel it. With your power to use shadows, you might be able to send me to the area. It might take a bit more effort so please make sure to use all that you can." Chief Artica stated.
Nightshade thought the proposal is a bit absurd, but he is the one that will get the weapon in the end. He could already feel the ego calling for him as he is enthralled by the aura that the weapon is emitting. It has definitely been used by the greatest assassin in the past as the bloodlust contained in the weapon is great.
"I am ready. I can use the shadows to propel you and even block the winds, but you also need to use your spells to push through. It will take the both of us to reach that as my shadows lose strength the farther that they are from me." Nightshade stated.
"Do not worry, great adventurer! I will do my best to make sure that my clan will be freed from the suffering of the sorceress. Once I get the artifact, they can freely leave this place as I will dispel whatever spell that is affecting them." Chief Artica stated.
Nightshade agreed with her but deep down he is feeling a sense of doubt. The doubt is small before as she was the first one that approached them as if she already knew what they wanted. His doubt grew bigger when she vanished as her clansmen appeared before them.
"I should no longer doubt it now. The weapon is in front of me. My ticket to become the new rank one scout player is already in front of me. I just need to focus on the present and I will get to reach my goal." Nightshade told himself to ease the sense of doubt that he is feeling.
"It seems that we have arrived too late. The expedition team is already fighting against the snow owl warriors." Adrian stated.
"I actually am very surprised that they are faring well as those NPCs are at the level range of 250 to 270. It is already a miracle that they can fight them despite their low numbers." Kabrakan stated as he knew that beastkin are powerful.
