Chapter 159 Amidst the Frost Calamity
Her delicate face, like porcelain jade, flawless and fair, was adorned with a charming smile. Igert smiled along with her.
He also noticed her later remark, “to be the Goddess Princess again.” Did this mean that she was now confident of suppressing Herafir?
Within Verafia’s body, another noble flame of will was awakening. This had always been like a sharp sword hanging over Igert’s heart, leaving him restless and powerless.
At this moment, hearing a hint of a turn for the better in her voice, Igert’s heart filled with a smile, and he felt much more relaxed. Even the anger he had felt towards Anderdun dissipated considerably.
Verafia gently stretched her slender waist and stood up again. “However… whether it’s this young lady or Little Fei, those are future matters. For now, things are by no means easy.”
She gently lifted her pure white snowy cheeks.
Tiny, shimmering specks fell into her golden eyes, like frozen stars. In the vast sky, both stars and moon were frozen by the spreading frost, and the pervasive chill scattered pale snow all around.
—This was not pure snow formed by the freezing of tiny water droplets floating in the sky due to low temperatures, but rather the condensation of wisps of law fragments, wantonly devouring the temperature of the world.
On her slender wrists, the flame crystal bracelet shimmered slightly. However, this could only offset ordinary cold.
Tais approached their faces. Her exquisite face was slightly pale, and she said in a low voice, “Miss Verafia, we are still in Vinash City… I’m afraid we are still within the scope of the frost calamity.”
Verafia’s gaze landed on a roof eaves that was gradually being covered by frost, and finally reflecting the frosty light rays. She gently nodded her butterfly head.
Even though it was covered by the frost calamity, it was still clear that this was a scene of a street in Vinash City.
Irene’s space magic was indeed set up in a wilderness outside Vinash, but under the erosion of the frost calamity’s will, she, with her almost insignificant star power, could barely control the direction of the magic.
“Moreover, it’s not just that. Vinash should be a very prosperous city. Even in the most remote places, there shouldn’t be a single person missing…”
She gently shifted her gaze. Apart from Irene’s magic, which was cast to resist this cold magical radiance as much as possible, the dark, icy night was filled with a deathly stillness, with only the rustling sound of falling snow.
There wasn’t even a single frozen corpse.
Verafia had heard many stories about Winterfall City from Shiel.
As a goddess herself, she knew that the laws of the frost calamity could indeed achieve this… Knights with a certain degree of life force, eroded by the laws of frost, would degenerate into frost calamity knights.
However, the vast majority were just ordinary people, and their fate was likely to be devoured, becoming nourishment for this disaster.
Azer returned in a hurry from a distance. His outer robe was covered with tiny ice pellets, and the bone-chilling cold made his face pale.
However, compared to Azer, who had been a witch hunter and still controlled a trace of flame law, the knights who had accompanied him on the reconnaissance appeared even more miserable.
Shiel looked at him with concern, her red lips pursed, wanting to speak.
However, the young man shook his head at her and then walked up to the Silver Moon Elf who was maintaining the magic. “Miss Irene, this place is shrouded by the frost calamity. It is a district in the southern part of Vinash City.”
With Shiel not stepping forward, Irene, as the only star, was implicitly regarded as the temporary leader by the remaining knights and priests.
“…I know the way here. To leave this city, even if it’s sealed by frost, it will take at most half an hour.”
Azer’s voice came, but the air was filled with a deathly stillness. Or rather, hearing the young man confirm that they were still within the frost calamity, the illusory wings that had been maintained by fantasy for the past few minutes had completely vanished.
Verafia gently folded her arms. She, however, was not surprised.
After all, this disaster was the manifestation of a deity’s will. According to Azer, it was only half an hour away, but who knew how many dangers and obstacles they would encounter on the way?
In Verafia’s estimation, it would take at least twice as long just to leave this city.
Moreover, even putting aside the creations of disaster like snow and frost calamity knights, an undeniable fact was that they were within the scope of the frost calamity.
This was also a fact that weighed on everyone, pushing them into despair.
Threads of icy chill penetrated her thin nun’s robe, touching her delicate skin like sharp ice thorns that pierced to the bone.
“Veer…”
Sensing the girl slightly clenching her hands, Igert said worriedly. Verafia shook her head at him and gently raised her golden eyes, gazing at the silently falling pale snow petals.
The crystal bracelet on her wrist still shone with a faint luster, melting the encroaching frost. However, Verafia could still clearly feel a deep chill biting at her warmth.
Just as she had said before, this was not snow but the law of that Frost God after the frost calamity.
Perhaps, this place was far from the center where Trist released the storm and the frost calamity descended, and the strength of the law was much weaker, but even her current goddess body felt a hint of discomfort, let alone these unprepared people?
The atmosphere in the air remained silent.
