Like ripples of water, it emanated from around Erica's body.
"Splash..."
A stream of clear spring water fell from the sky, like dancing water, and gathered around Erica, gradually forming a small whirlpool that enveloped her.
"Buzzing..."
As the mist thickened, Erica became increasingly blurry within the water curtain.
Suddenly, the water mist spread out and enveloped the entire water curtain.
Within this curtain of water, every part of her body seemed to be washed over and over again by the water.
Erica kept her eyes closed, letting the steam fill the air around her, without moving an inch.
"not bad."
Beside her stood Amelia, a lollipop dangling from her lips.
She looked at Erica quietly and nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems you've improved your control over your own magic even further."
The water curtain persisted for a while before gradually dissipating into the wind and snow.
Erica, without changing her expression, opened her eyes and smiled politely at Amelia:
"Thanks."
Today's magic practice was over, and she sat down on the nearby steps to rest.
But her expression showed a hint of worry.
The second prince rushed from the capital to investigate the demon incident.
She was well aware of this matter.
Although Erica didn't know if the second prince could find out anything, she was somewhat worried.
After all, that demon was summoned by Professor Victor.
"Waaah—"
Suddenly, an alarm blared, and Erica looked up abruptly.
Having been in the North for so many days, she had never heard such an urgent alarm.
"What happened?"
Amelia stood beside her and spoke quietly.
"If such an alarm is sounded, it generally symbolizes the emergence of two things."
"Barbarian invasion, or perhaps some natural disaster is about to occur."
Erica nodded in realization.
However, among the barbarians, the two most powerful forces are nearly extinct.
The remaining barbarian tribes had long since ceased to be a threat.
so……
"A natural disaster?"
"No."
Amelia reached out her hand, feeling the wind around her, which had unknowingly calmed down.
She raised her head, her gaze fixed on the terrifying creature in the sky, whose body was already half-revealed.
"I'm afraid it's even worse than that."
Suddenly, Erica felt a slight unease deep within her.
It seemed as if something was calling out.
She raised her palm.
It was as if I had been summoned by something.
A stream of air involuntarily rose from within his palm.
Erica looked up and gazed at the sky as well.
The terrifying creature, which had only revealed half of its body, had eyes as large as light bulbs.
"!"
Erica knew it perfectly well.
The look in that terrifying monster's eyes.
They were looking at her.
Suddenly, it averted its gaze.
His body tumbled back and forth among the clouds, creating waves of air around him.
In an instant, it raised its head and roared to the sky!
"Awooo—!!!"
It sounded like a dragon's roar, echoing throughout the entire territory.
Then she looked up at the sky.
An amazing wind began to blow again.
This time, the biting wind felt like it was cutting with a knife.
...
Vladimir, draped in a large fur coat, stood atop the snow-capped mountain.
Feeling the dangerously cold wind around him, he reached out a hand and pinched the cigar in his mouth.
He took a deep drag.
"hiss……"
Behind him stood several mages dressed in white robes.
Vladimir didn't turn around, and said calmly.
"Is everyone gathered?"
"That's about it."
The person behind him reported.
Vladimir looked up at the enormous thing in the sky.
The enormous worm twisted its body continuously, exuding an unparalleled sense of oppression.
The wind howled around him, causing the large fur coat behind him to flutter.
A sharp pain shot through his cheek, and he reached out to touch his face.
A trail of blood ran down his hand.
Even the wind carries such terrifying power.
Faced with such a terrifying existence, Vladimir remained completely calm and even laughed out loud.
"I've never seen anything like this in my entire life."
"It must be something only gods could create."
He took another deep drag on his cigar, then threw it onto the snow and stomped on it.
"Too bad, I don't believe in God at all."
"Tell the other boys to take all the children, the old people, and the women who can't fight in the territory to the northern frontier."
Since the Delin family changed hands, and with politicians like Kevlar involved in the political maneuvering, things have changed.
This eased tensions between the Pale Magicians and the Knights of the North.
Now, they have no choice but to seek the protection of the Knights of the North.
"Oh right, and that little girl Erica too."
“She’s Revi’s child, we can’t let her participate in the battle.”
Upon hearing this, the people behind became anxious.
"General, what will you do then?"
If he could avoid fighting, he definitely wouldn't want to fight with this kind of thing.
"If this guy can communicate, maybe there's something to say."
Unfortunately, the visitors were not friendly.
That monster was clearly targeting the Pale Magic Guild.
A gust of cold wind howled past, carrying snowflakes, and the biting chill made his cheeks turn bright red.
He frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on the distant sky.
Its massive body tumbled through the air, its dark scales gleaming with an evil light. Its eyes surged like a raging storm, as if to devour and obliterate everything in their path.
"If I leave, how will I cover your retreat?"
Vladimir grinned, his smile seemingly tinged with madness.
"Even if it means death, we'll still peel off a few layers of this worm's skin."
The sound echoed in the wind, filled with indomitable courage.
A biting wind howled, snowflakes fluttered, and a violent blizzard raged behind him.
His white hair fluttered in the wind, like a flag flying high.
He gripped the enormous battle axe that had materialized from his glove, and the chill of frost emanated from the axe blade, freezing even the surrounding air into ice crystals.
The wind and snow intertwined, a chill permeated the air, and a tense atmosphere filled the space.
At this moment, he was like a war god, cold and fearless.
