The second prince squinted, raised his head, and felt the intense pressure from above the clouds.
What is that?
Something seemed to be churning within the clouds, stirring up wave after wave of air!
It twisted and turned in the air, surrounded by dense white air currents.
The clouds obscured it, and the surrounding wind stopped.
Dick stood beside the Second Prince, and even he himself sensed something was amiss.
Having lived in the far north for many years, Dick was used to the cold, but this kind of weather made him inexplicably irritable and fearful.
He stood beside the Second Prince and spoke respectfully.
"Your Highness... perhaps we should stop the investigation here for today?"
This is already considered an abnormal situation.
The winds and snow that usually blanket the North had stopped.
He had to hurry back and report this matter to the general.
But the second prince did not respond to him.
As if noticing something, the second prince looked at the group of knights who were still investigating.
Suddenly, his eyes widened sharply.
"Don't go near there!"
The second prince's voice rang out loudly, and the knights who were leaning against the temple ruins, intending to inspect them, couldn't help but turn around.
Suddenly, their bodies froze.
It seemed as if a pair of enormous eyes were watching them from behind, amidst the wind.
In the silence, they could only hear sounds coming from afar.
"escape……"
Boom—!!!
A deafening roar, accompanied by a storm, swept across the sky!
A huge and dazzling light streaked across the sky, as if a storm had descended upon the mortal world.
With devastating power, it plowed through the snow-covered ice plains, heading straight for everyone in the ruins.
In an instant, Dick swiftly grabbed the staff at his waist and raised it.
The staff instantly emitted a dazzling light.
【Glory and Protection】
A massive energy barrier suddenly rose up, as if inlaid with countless glittering gems, shimmering with dazzling light.
But it appeared incredibly fragile in the face of that raging wind.
A terrifying scene unfolded before the two of them.
The storm raged, carrying a terrifying pressure that devoured everything in its path.
Even the seemingly solid barrier was teetering on the brink of collapse in this storm.
Eventually, a crack appeared in the barrier.
There was a 'click' sound.
Like shattered glass, it could no longer withstand the raging storm.
Dick was thrown back hundreds of meters by the aftershocks of the storm, crashing hard into an ice wall and immediately losing consciousness.
Only the second prince remained, still standing in the same spot.
Unbeknownst to him, dark lines began to appear on his face.
The storm did not shake his body; several thorns rose up around him and bound him tightly.
As the storm subsided, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee.
Seriously injured...
It was merely affected by that terrifying attack, and the barrier absorbed much of the force.
He suffered such severe trauma.
The second prince stared in utter shock at the scene before him.
Everything around them disappeared.
The ruins resembled an abandoned temple, surrounded by knights.
Just like with the wind, everything vanished under that astonishing storm.
So what exactly is it?
He looked up sharply and saw the sky above.
Look closely at what it looks like.
That looks like... a huge worm.
Its claws seemed even thicker and stronger than those of a dragon, gripping a dark cloud, and gradually, it revealed its head.
A huge, black head.
It was as black as a dark cloud, and seemed to have two tentacles on its head.
Its jet-black body tumbled and rolled throughout the clouds.
"……snake?"
The second prince stared wide-eyed at the sky in terror.
That enormous monster that could move freely through the sky.
Absolutely not, it is an existence that humanity can defeat.
It absolutely cannot be a snake.
Suddenly, its head moved.
As if sensing something, their eyes, like two bright lamps, turned and looked in one direction.
It suddenly swam its body and disappeared back into the clouds.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the weather gradually returned to normal.
Feeling the ice and snow descend upon him once again, the Second Prince finally made a move.
He plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.
For the first time, he felt the sensation of death creeping into his heart.
That feeling was so close to him.
"...Greed, are you still there?"
"What exactly was that just now?"
When he asked, Yem's voice trembled slightly.
"That is... a calamity."
The second prince suddenly froze on the spot.
Calamity?
What exactly is that?
"Don't ask me too many questions."
"Don't let it find you. Don't provoke it."
Yem's voice gradually faded away.
The second prince remained silent.
He raised his head again and looked up at the sky.
I looked at that terrifying monster, its figure disappearing as it left.
The direction it looked in as it left.
"The Pale Magic Guild..."
...
[Second-Tier Magic: Water Curtain]
Layer upon layer of magic circles surged around Erica, merging with the surrounding wind and snow.
