I Was The Hero, But I Woke Up as a Phoenix Princess! – Chapter 722

Chapter 180 Frost Returns
It wasn’t just Ig who rushed to catch the young girl’s delicate body.
Including Ophi, Shiel, and others, they felt the cold spreading through the air. Disbelievingly and astonished, they raised their heads and saw the Knight emerge from the darkness.
However, a withered black starry sky spread behind them, even forming patches of pale ice crystals.
“This, this is the Frost Calamity?”
A slightly trembling voice came from Shiel. Her slender hand covered her red lips, and her exquisite face suddenly turned pale. In her light golden eyes, disbelief was filled with fear.
Ice crystals far beyond the material realm spread through the darkness.
It wantonly stripped the world of its power, as frost-white colors condensed endlessly, biting and devouring the sky and the earth. In just an instant, within the vortex of frost, the ice was bone-chilling yet terrifying, and a trembling presence shrouded the heavens and earth.
Layers of frost tides rippled across the sky. The cold ice transformed into the sun and moon, and layers of dazzling brilliance scattered upon the ground. It released its light, making even the cold night seem like a dazzling daylight.
Crystal-clear radiance gently sprinkled onto every corner of the world, and the traces of time and space were rimmed with a layer of crystal frost white.
It was as if the entire world, including the stars and the void, was frozen in frost ice, turning eternity into an instant, welcoming the Great Existence that was newborn yet eternally immortal.
“This, this…”
Wisps of cold frost mist drifted over. Unlike the ice and snow in the Frost Calamity that devoured life, Shiel felt an even deeper extreme cold and danger.
Not just her, but the surviving Knights and priests, with smiles frozen on their faces, looked on in disbelief and terror.
“The Frost God, Holder, hasn’t he already descended and been blocked by Miss Casslet? Then, what is this?”
Her slender fingertips tightly gripped her tender skin, but even the intense pain could not quell the cold and fear spreading in her heart. Shiel’s light golden pupils could hardly maintain their gaze.
This was different from the scene in the ice-sealed City of Vinash where the North Wind Witch was blocking the descending frost. However, in everyone’s eyes, there was no difference.
A great and sacred existence was awakening within it, its gaze indifferently fixed upon this land of spreading frost. Moreover, its prestige and the freely surging frost laws far surpassed those of the deities in the ice-sealed city.
As if it were the true God of Frost!
“Veer, Ig!”
In just a moment, her vision was filled with pale blue-white frost. Ophi suddenly shouted in fear, her fingers tightly gripping her spear. She thrust the raised spear blade fiercely into the enveloping ice mist before her!
The spear strike, capable of destroying a city wall, only created a faint, insignificant ripple.
“No, it’s not just the Frost Calamity…”
Her little head gently leaned against Ig’s shoulder. Verafia slowly raised her exquisite eyelashes, gazing at the shimmering azure fragments of law that roared in her eyes amidst the faint voice of the deity.
Their surroundings had become a vast expanse of white. This was the visual phenomenon caused by being enveloped by the frost laws.
Her golden eyes watched. Not only the dark knight in the distance and the boundless dark starry sky behind him, but the color of frost was also reflected on Alcoria’s body. The starry sky and the frost seemed to have merged into one.
Verafia could feel it more clearly. The pervasive frost not only possessed low temperatures but also a ferocious aura of destruction, as if tearing everything apart, which was completely displayed in her eyes.
“Twenty years ago, Disaxs fell under Lancaster’s sword. At the same time, the Aer Continent was swept by a storm of frost. No wonder…”
Verafia smiled lightly. Alcoria said it himself, so it wouldn’t be a coincidence.
No wonder she always had a feeling… that although Alcoria’s body contained the power of a Star God, like the Seed of Destruction, it lacked the ancient and decayed aura that Lichen had seen.
Twenty years ago, the descending God of Destruction fell under the Sacred Sword. More than half of its body and power were sealed by Lancaster using the other side of the world… the remainder fell to the ground.
Among them, the “Seed of Destruction” collected its power to resist Lancaster’s rule… but more of it fell onto the Aer Continent and merged with the yet-to-be-born Frost God, triggering the calamity of frost!
—And at some unknown time, Alcoria also arrived on this continent and obtained the power of a Star God.
“No wonder this young lady always felt… that Holder, who was blocked by Casslet, although he descended using the power of an entire city as a sacrifice, he lost so much. It turns out the real power was meant to descend here.”
At the same moment. Verafia seemed to feel Casslet’s astonished raised frost-blue pupils. The gray crow plunged into the storm, and the pouring frost instantly collapsed and disintegrated.
“Veer, this, this is the true Frost God?”
Ig gently held the young girl. White frost spread over his body. He forcefully raised his eyes. Around them, the fluctuations of law surged like a roar. A great existence was crossing the limits of time, truly revealing its magnificent power.
The young man’s hand tightly pressed his chest. The crimson stellar core fragments trembled and struggled, emitting brilliant light. In Lichen’s time, he had cut down Disaxs’s body with the Sacred Sword. Lancaster had given him the stellar core fragments that had fallen from it.
A slender white fingertip gently pressed his palm. She could feel the warm and soft touch of the young girl. The trembling stellar core briefly calmed down.
Verafia raised her cheek and wiped the bloodstain from the corner of her mouth with her other hand. Unlike other things frozen by metallic ice, her blood still had a warm touch.
However, she understood that in the face of a god’s power, she, or the young man beside her, was no different.
The power of frost of the entire world, and even the sacrifice of a city, condensed before her eyes.
A deity was descending before her… there was no point in even trying to stop it. In her eyes, it was just a brief moment, but it was enough for an infinite amount of time, enough for that god to let its body fall into this world.
At this moment, Verafia actually understood many things and the places that had puzzled her before.
Why could the nascent Frost God, with just one priest’s karma, lock onto her? Why, in Casslet’s words, at the initial moment of the Frost Calamity, the Frost God intended to devour her but later abandoned that attempt…
Verafia thought of her previous conjecture again.
From the beginning, in the City of Vinash, this deity in front of her was not prepared to descend. Casslet’s judgment was incorrect; the Heart of Frost was not its true desire.
But, what it truly desired…
Her slender fingertips couldn’t help but grip her tender skin tightly. Verafia forcefully raised her head, gazing at the dark knight who seemed to have drawn closer again after the frost and starry sky:
“Then, Alcoria, tell me: Is the Frost God, Disaxs?”
