Chapter 520: The Winter Demon and the Volcano

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Things had gone extremely bad!

There were thousands of Heaven Peal Beasts in front of him while swarms of Skeleton Dragons and Vampires were approaching behind him. This short pause had sent him into an awkward position where he could neither advance nor retreat...

Qin Ruo was eager to deactivate his Angelic Wings and get to safety. However, if he deactivated his Angelic Wings, it would then be difficult to maintain the Undead’s invasion of the island.

If the Undead lost their main target, Qin Ruo’s efforts would have all gone to waste. He not only would need to start over, he also needed to face thousands of Heaven Peal Beasts and the Tier 4 Ultimate Boss Heaven Peal Lion alone while waiting for the Undead’s arrival.

That was why he must not deactivate his Angelic Wings. At least, not before the Undead clashed with the Heaven Peal Beasts.

Qin Ruo clenched his teeth then flew straight at the king of the Heaven Peal Beasts—the Heaven Peal Lion!

At the meantime, the Skeleton Dragons, high tier Vampires were tailing Qin Ruo, as if they were his personal army, following his lead down into the belly of the volcano!

Roaaarrr!!

The human and Undead Invaders had enraged the Heaven Peal Lion. It raised its hairy head upward and let out a deafening roar! Thousands of Heaven Peal Beasts above started to respond to its roar, crossing their arms up on their chests and started chanting.

A surge of Mana suddenly emerged in the air.

As Qin Ruo watched in amazement, thousands of swirling Holy elements started to accumulate and overlap inside the volcano. Then, they spread outward and then merged with other swirling Holy elements again, like many circular sound waves spinning together. The center of these swirling Holy circles were directed in one single direction.

As all these were happening, the hulking Heaven Peal Lion parted its front paws. In a blink of an eye, its wings turned golden. Then, the lion floated upward into the sky and hovered among the Heaven Peal Beasts—almost like it was fusing itself with the “Holy circles” that the Heaven Peal Beasts created...

As he was in awe with the sight, Qin Ruo suddenly felt a pinch deep down in his heart. For some reason, he felt that the Heaven Peal Lion was directing its eyes and attack at him.

This super strong attack that it was preparing with the aid of its Heaven Peal horde was all directed at him and solely him...

The lion was hoping to vaporize him, together with the other countless Undead that followed suit, the moment he reached his range of attack.

It knew. It knew that if it could kill him, the Undead would then stop their advances and peace would be restored to its serene island.

Unfortunately, as the Heaven Peal Lion was about to release its Divine Aria and end all of this ruckus once and for all that hateful human invader suddenly vanished under the Undead, the Heaven Peal Beasts’ and its noses.

Shocked by the sudden change of pace in the battle, Heaven Peal Lion could not help but pause momentarily and it was then, Qin Ruo re-appeared in front of it! This human was now several meters away from it, gravely staring into its eyes with his cool eyes.

Before the Heaven Peal Lion was able to react, a flash of golden lightning struck—as though Qin Ruo and the lion had been electrocuted together.

Booom!

The lion’s white elemental barrier suddenly dissolved back to nature...

And then...

Vrrooooooooom!

A loud and long thunderous noise was heard as tons and tons of freezing air burst out of the volcano!

Heaven Peal Lion and its underlings were hit by this upgraded version of Twelve Frostramparts before they were able to show their hands.

After commanding his pet Poochie to act and activating his skill memory, Qin Ruo then flung a silver azure Magic Scroll into the air!

“Frozen Realm!!”

In that instant, it was as though Qin Ruo had become an actual God in this Frozen Realm.

In that fraction of a second during the lightning strike, the purifying light that was created by the Heaven Peal Beasts vanished into thin air. Their barriers were shattered while their movement speed was lowered.

They could do nothing but stare at the freezing frost and snow engulfing them and their homes. In this frightening storms of hail and snow, Heaven Peal Lion had suffered quite a huge damage. Its charged up “Divine Aria” was forcefully canceled while a thin layer of frost started to cover its hulky body.

Its underlings, the Heaven Peal Beasts, suffered an even worse fate. Their bodies were frozen into ice statues as they fell from the sky and dropped on the newly frost-cushioned ground.

The Heaven Peal Beasts that were thirty meters away from the volcano were also been being shoved away by the pressure of the skill Frozen Realm.

Suddenly, another flash of golden lightning struck before everyone’s eyes!

The Heaven Peal Lion, still under the three-second Chilled status, was fiercely rammed by Poochie!

Booom!

Vrooom!! Vroooooooom!!!!

After the first impact from its ram attack, the twelve Frostramparts were also detonated.

As the Heaven Peal Beasts were blinded by a curtain of snowy frost, eerie laughs and growls of dragons broke out from the mist and rushed into the Heaven Peal Beasts’ horde.

After much effort by Qin Ruo, the Undead and Heaven Peal Beasts were finally clashing!

***

After detonating the twelve Frostramparts, Qin Ruo quickly gulped down his potions as he carefully scanned his surroundings with his Elemental Perception and then, he swiftly glided out in the opposite direction of where Heaven Peal Lion was.

Due to the activation of the purifying light, the Heaven Peal Beasts could not charge up similar magic attacks in such a short time to shoot him down from the sky. In just two seconds, Qin Ruo had dashed thirty meters away from them. When they were about to give chase, swarms after swarms of Skeleton Dragons and Vampires blocked their path.

The volcano’s belly had now turned into a war zone...

After fleeing from the Heaven Peal Lion, Qin Ruo bee-lined towards a corner in the volcano, that was two hundred meters from the Boss, ignoring the magic attacks of the Heaven Peal Beasts.

Now that he was able to stir up a war between the Undead and the Heaven Peal Beasts, all he needed to do was to just find a safe hiding spot and wait it out. He needed to wait for the perfect opportunity to defeat the Heaven Peal Lion.

Even though there was an insanely huge number of Undead swirling in the area, Qin Ruo was certain that this would not affect his plan one bit—as long as there were no other players interfering.

As he was flying at full speed, Poochie was bashing everything that was in its master and its path—opening a clear path toward their destination. As for the damage from the retaliating Heaven Peal Beasts, Qin Ruo was able to continuously recover and tank through them with the aid of Giant Tree Saps, Guardian Potion, Sacred Potion, and Movement Speed Potion.

There were also some attacks that had locked-on and homing characteristics but he was able to ward them off by reflectively forming several Frostramparts and calling upon the help of a Frost Bear.

That was how he ripped out a path in that two-hundred-meter airspace, one that was blocked by hundreds of Heaven Peal Beasts. As he reached his destination, Qin Ruo quickly turned around and stuck his back onto the mountain wall.

“Frozen Realm!”

Qin Ruo hurled out the Tier 5 AoE Magic Scroll yet again, facing the hundreds of Heaven Peal Beasts head on.

Before casting his attack, Qin Ruo had already used the Special Roasted Snails and Darkfrost Potion. This Tier 5 AoE magic attack was buffed to its maximum output.

After a continuous gush of frost engulfed the area, the several hundred Haven Peal Beasts quiet down...

Finally, the crisis was over.

Qin Ruo sighed in relief...

He quickly waved his Water Dragon’s Staff and formed two rows of Frostramparts. They then guarded the area around him as he commanded them with his staff.

After a few seconds, he detonated them!

Again, hundreds and hundreds of Heaven Peal Beasts were vanquished in seconds. Qin Ruo was now basically in the clear—the Heaven Peal Beasts were not able to locate him in the thick fog of frost after the Frostburst earlier.

As Qin Ruo was handling the Heaven Peal Beasts around him, the little skirmish that was happening in the volcano belly had started to turn the tides toward Qin Ruo. Even though the Undead were disadvantaged in the beginning, there were now countless of Skeleton Dragons and Vampires invading the volcano.

As the number of Heaven Peal Beasts deteriorated at a steady rate, the Undead started to gain the winning hand, not even Heaven Peal Lion’s participation in the battle was able to tip the battle back to them.

Then, gradually, the Heaven Peal Lion and its underlings were cornered by the Undead Horde under the volcano belly.

“Forgive me...”

As he saw this, Qin Ruo could not help but feel sorry for them.

However, he had no time for sympathy—he must return to the Mythical Continent. As he was watching the lion and its underlings cowering deeper and deeper into the volcano, he lay his eyes on one of the smaller caves in the volcano. Edgar’s voice echoed in his head.

“Volcanic Essence.”

This was a rare kind of Grade 3 herb that could grant one the ability to stave off heat. It usually grew in volcanoes and possessed a great amount of fire elements in its roots. With the presence of Heaven Peal Lion, the herb here on Heaven Peal Island contained both Fire and Holy elements, making its value greater than that of Grade 2 herbs. This would make the potions that were distilled from it much more effective against the Spectres and Liches than the Purification Potion.

And there were no monsters and Specters roaming around the herb at the moment too...

‘What a good chance!’

Qin Ruo immediately glided toward the little cave in the heart of the volcano.
