The shadow of the Frost Giant emerged from behind the White Wolf's mask, tall and majestic, with an imposing manner, like a god or demon, looking down on all living things.

This shocking scene was forever fixed in the mind of Vice President Artos.

Click, click.

The blood in his body began to cool rapidly and coagulate.

The water vapor in the air condensed on his body surface, forming layer by layer of frost.

But in his heart, there was a powerful seed of life that was shaped like a goat.

Endless black air burst out with a loud bang, like a warm current, saving his heart.

This gave him a glimmer of hope.

The stiff body seemed to begin to recover.

But, that’s all.

The next moment, Levi was singing softly.

The blazing yellow and white flame, accompanied by blazing air currents, brought high temperatures towards you!

Artos struggled desperately, trying to avoid it all, but his body completely refused to obey him.

This feeling of watching danger coming without being able to avoid it is really terrifying!

His armor was burnt black, and the high temperature made Artos want to roar, but his previously frozen throat could not make any sound.

This painful feeling, like sleep paralysis, made him feel the long-lost fear.

After becoming a great knight, he possessed strength far beyond that of ordinary people and he rarely felt fear.

Even though he was at a disadvantage in the battle with the Silver Mountain Knight and was defeated by the opponent, he knew that his life was safe and he was only slightly injured.

However, all the situations before him made him realize that he had met a truly powerful enemy.

The opponent might not even be a knight!

More like the... wizard in the legend!

A wizard who is good at close combat!

Under the opponent's sudden attack of witchcraft, Artos had no power to resist and was put on the passive side from the beginning of the battle.

Artos was anxious, as he also had a supernatural trump card similar to the other party.

It was a snuff bottle that could summon the "Lord Lamp Spirit" to fight for it. It was a powerful evil spirit.

But the damn thing is, not only can I not move, but I can't make any sound from my throat!

This is so desperate!

After the flames burned,

The cross sword light, as dazzling as a star, with its unrivaled high-level ripple power, shattered Atos's armor.

Levi's Frostmourne had pierced Artos' chest.

Atos' heart was pierced, and the life seed inside was gone. The goat-like monster tried desperately to use black energy to mend Atos' heart, but to no avail.

The deadly poison of the human-faced spider's tears has begun to spread in his body.

The battle was over at this moment, and Artos was dying, with only a thread of gas left.

Levi used a dagger and arrows to nail the bald man's limbs to a big tree.

"Hey, have you heard of the Hog Rider, man?" A hoarse and deep voice came from under the White Wolf mask.

Desperate Atos was full of doubts, and he knew he was going to die soon.

He wanted to summon the lamp spirit out, but he could no longer make a sound.

Levi thought that Atos didn't want to answer him.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then go die."

Levi couldn't help but sigh under the mask. He crushed Atos' heart, and the goat-shaped life seed was burned to ashes in the flames in reluctance.

Levi was panting, although this battle was a complete crushing defeat.

But he was still very nervous. To fight with the big knight, he had to concentrate fully and not relax.

This time, in order to fully utilize the power of the Frost Giant's Sigh, Levi was very close to Atos, and the terrifying frost instantly froze Atos.

Even the great knight was powerless to fight back.

Levi exhaled a breath of cold air. The magic would naturally not hurt him by mistake, but he could still feel the real cold.

Levi was cleaning the battlefield. Those soldiers were very weak, not even knights. They came out to fight, so naturally they didn't have anything valuable on them. Levi piled them all together and burned them.

Even the vice president, whose name seemed to be Atos, didn't have anything valuable on him, just a few gold coins, which was better than nothing.

"The most valuable thing is the body of Artos."

"My Seal of Hell will soon reach the second level. Then I will be able to command two zombies, two great knight-level zombie guardians. This is a treatment that only the king and the pope can enjoy." Levi felt very happy.

Suddenly, something rolled down from Atos' body and caught Levi's attention.

It was a black snuff bottle.

"What is this?" Levi frowned in his heart and became alert at the same time.

There's no change in the spider sense, so there shouldn't be any danger.

But Levi was not sure, after all, spider sense was not completely correct.

At the same time, Levi noticed that some of the patterns and designs on the snuff bottle seemed familiar.

"Yes, it is similar to the pattern on the Frost Giant's armor."

Levi lifted up the Frost Giant's armor for comparison.

Sure enough, although the content of the patterns is different, the style is indeed the same.

"It seems that the snuff bottle is also solidified with magic."

"It's possible that this is something from a wizard?"

Thinking of this, Levi became extremely cautious. He decided not to stay here for long. He prepared the seal of protection, and then left with the snuff bottle and the body of Atos.

…

The battle lasted a day and a night.

Without the great knight Atos to lead the charge.

The Silver Mountain Knights used the armor-piercing crossbows on the city wall to successfully eliminate four ice rhinos.

The death of this strategic-level siege beast put the Wilderness Brotherhood's army at a disadvantage.

Finally, after the head coach waited a long time for the vice president to come to support him, he sounded the call for the troops to retreat, leaving only corpses on the ground.

The other side has a great knight, coupled with their heavy cavalry and well-trained troops. It is difficult to break the city without a great knight on our side, so we can only think of other ways.

Of course, Earl Yinshan also suffered heavy losses, but his family was large and his wealth was great, so he could still bear this loss.

Earl Silver Mountain himself suffered a lot of injuries. There are no winners in war.

Inside Silver Mountain Castle.

Earl Yinshan was recovering from his injuries and listening to reports from his men.

"Didn't find Artos?" Yinshan asked with a frown.

"Yes, but our spies have learned that Artos has not appeared in the Wilderness Brotherhood these days. He disappeared mysteriously, including the team he led."

"Then we found traces of a great battle in the direction where Atos fled. Although the traces were erased artificially, we can still see that it was a battle at the level of a great knight."

"We suspect that Artos encountered a great knight-level enemy when he was evacuating. He is very likely dead."

As the subordinates spoke, they all felt unbelievable in their hearts.

It sounds really horrifying that a powerful man at the level of a great knight died inexplicably in such a small woods.

"Continue the investigation and make sure to find out the whereabouts of Artos."

Earl Silver Mountain said as he endured the severe pain of healing his wounds.

"If Artos is really dead, then who in Icewind City has the ability to kill Artos? The Shining Tavern?"

It is not clear whether this unknown great knight is a friend or an enemy, so Earl Silver Mountain dare not let his guard down.

He would not be so naive as to think that the other party who killed Artos was his friend.

In this world, there are no friends, only interests.

Levi did not return to Icewind City. It had been too chaotic recently, and his goal had been achieved, so he went straight back to his territory.

He used preservatives, mercury and other materials to process the corpse of the great knight Artos, preparing to turn him into a "living dead" after the second level of the Seal of Hell was reached.

Levi looked at all this with satisfaction, patted the Demon Shark on the shoulder and said, "You will have a companion from now on."

Then Levi was fully armed and prepared the seal of protection, ready to activate at any time.

Then he took out the "snuff bottle" that was suspected to be a wizard's item.

"What on earth is this?"

“There’s no instruction manual or anything.”

In this respect, she is not as good as the witch Gulveig.

It’s a pity that Atos is dead, otherwise Levi could have asked him.

He looked at the snuff bottle carefully. The lid could be unscrewed.

However, Levi would naturally not do such a stupid thing that only the brainless protagonist in a horror movie would do.

If there was an evil spirit sealed inside, I would probably die on the spot.

In the end, Levi studied for a long time but didn't come up with anything.

"Forget it, let's seal it first."

Levi sealed the snuff bottle in a Russian box.

There are iron, silver, wood, and even pure gold, etc.

This made him feel a little more at ease, but to be on the safe side, Levi did not leave the snuff bottle in the shelter.

And buried under a tree in the territory.

He planned to wait until he was promoted to a great knight and mastered the Seal of Dragon Might before trying to force it open.

After all, there might be clues about the wizard inside, so Levi naturally couldn't give up.

"Witch Gullveig, witch Luo Lin, exorcism notes, wizard's snuff bottle, there are more and more clues."

Levi was in a good mood. He took a look at the situation in the territory. Nothing had happened recently, so he worked hard to improve his proficiency in the Seal of Hell.

…

The year 1010 of the Holy Era, the month of the furnace.

The Emerald Kingdom was in ruins. The new king ascended the throne and called on all nobles to join hands to punish the Duke of Black Mountain for his betrayal of the alliance.

He also pleaded with the church to dispatch the Radiant Knights to impose sanctions on the Duke of Montenegro.

The church was busy liquidating the heretical Wilderness Brotherhood and ignored the king's pleas.

In the south, many fiefs of small nobles have been easily captured by the Black Mountain army.

The southern nobles had been at ease for too long and were unable to organize an effective resistance against the aggressive Black Mountain army.

However, under the organization of the new Emerald King, a southern coalition was finally established, and together with the royal family, they launched a counterattack against the Duke of Black Mountain.

In the neighboring Tuva Empire, which shared the same fate, civil war was still going on.

Because of the disappearance of the Imperial Fists, fewer and fewer people supported the Imperial Fists, and more and more people joined the rebels.

It is only a matter of time before the rebels unify the country.

And it seems that everyone has forgotten the threat of the snow monsters in the Far North.

The situation in Icewind City is not good either.

There had been a civilian riot in the city before, which had caused Earl Silver Mountain a lot of trouble for a while. In the end, it was discovered that the culprits were indeed members of the Wilderness Brotherhood.

These people were beheaded in public as a warning to others.

But the subsequent riots did not abate.

And along with the Wilderness Brotherhood's attacks everywhere.

The "Lord of the Wilderness", a heretical deity regarded as an "evil god" by the church, began to appear more frequently in everyone's vision.

What some civilians call "God the Father is above" has unknowingly turned into "Chaos is above" or "Lord of the Wilderness is above".

This is probably why the church ignored the disputes among the nobles and was determined to eliminate the Wilderness Brotherhood.

Even if the aristocratic forces were completely reshuffled and the Emerald Kingdom became the Black Mountain Empire, it would make no difference to the church.

The Heavenly Father is still the only true God in this new kingdom.

However, the rise of the "Lord of the Wilderness" is undoubtedly squeezing the foundation of the church's faith. For the Holy Light Church, these cultists who spread heretical beliefs are the primary enemies.

After many twists and turns, Levi finally learned the whereabouts of the Boar Knight. The Boar Knight died while being sent out by Artos to perform a mission...

"Damn it, why couldn't you wait for me!" Levi felt regretful and sighed to himself.

Although Levi failed to kill the Boar Rider himself in the end, after many efforts, he finally brought back Old Toby, who was living a good life in the Wilderness Brotherhood, and learned a lot of information about the Wilderness Brotherhood from Old Toby.

Old Toby is now even older, so Levi no longer lets him forge, but only lets him resume the responsibility of training the newcomers.

Little Milan can now stand on his own feet, and it's time for him to enjoy his old age.

Levi had no intention of revenge against the Wilderness Brotherhood. That was the church's business, and he didn't want the church to take advantage of his labor for free.

In troubled times, bandits are more rampant.

Even the previously peaceful Blackwater Valley was now harassed by many bandits and wandering knights.

However, in front of Levi's Red Blood Cavalry Corps and his combat power which was close to that of a great knight, they were easily annihilated. One died one by one, and a group of them died one by one.

Even the Church of Abraham was burned, killed and looted by the mob forces under the Wilderness Brotherhood.

Chalafor shamelessly asked Levi for help, and Levi naturally agreed to Chalafor's request.

During an invasion, he asked his militia to provide assistance, which made Charafor very satisfied with Levi.

Then, three days later, another group of rioters, led by a masked thug, poisoned the church late at night, killing a group of clergymen, and burned, killed, and looted, causing heavy losses to the church.

The shameless pastor Charafor was so furious that he had a heart attack and had to lie down for several days before he recovered.

In response, good neighbor Baron Levi strongly condemned the villains and encouraged Pastor Charafor to face all these difficulties with a smile.

In this chaotic world, absurd things happen every day.

Levi went further and further on the Avenue of the Liver, and his liver reached the edge of the universe, and the Avenue of the Liver was about to be wiped out.

Finally, during the Moon of Wheat Field, Levi completed the second level of the Hell Seal that he had been longing for.
