Chapter 589 The End of the Battle and Blessing of Ishruna in the Painted World
The nose is the common weakness of all canines. It is densely covered with various nerves and has no protection, so it will be particularly painful if it is hit.
Although the huge winter wolf king in front of him is already at the forefront of fantasy species, he still has not gotten rid of this weakness.
The battering ram transformed by Ader hit the Winter Wolf King hard on the nose, and with a painful wail, the wind blade that was accumulating power collapsed, and the surging magic power exploded at the Winter Wolf King.
"Ouch~~"
The Winter Wolf King howled again, but was severely interrupted by Gray wielding the battering ram.
Although it was hit hard on its weak spot twice in a row, the damage caused was obviously not as great as the backlash of the previous magic power. However, the nose, which was the weak spot, was hit, making the Winter Wolf King unbearable pain, plus the pain in his mouth.
He was so injured that he could only tuck his tail between his legs and run away in despair.
When the other winter wolves saw their king running away, they also dispersed, and soon only Gray and Olga Marie were left in the empty forest.
"call--"
Gray gasped for air and looked at the direction in which the Winter Wolf King left with lingering fear. She held the battering ram tightly in her hand and still maintained a vigilant posture, fearing that it would come back again.
It was only after a while that the Winter Wolf King showed no sign of returning, which made her sigh in relief.
"You actually defeated the Winter Wolf King! That God of Death who came with the wind and snow is truly a fire bearer from a foreign land. I have more confidence in you!"
【(>^ω^<)】
Gale flew out from his hiding place and made a sound of exclamation.
"I didn't beat it."
Gray shook his head and said seriously, rather than saying that he defeated the Winter Wolf King, it is better to say that the Winter Wolf King chose to retreat.
If you continue to fight, even if you hit its weak point, you will not be able to create a final outcome, and you will still be defeated in the end.
"It's pretty powerful to be able to beat that guy away. You know how many knights tried to attack it, but in the end, they all had no news at all."
【╮(╯▽╰)╭】
"By the way, Miss Olga Marie..."
Gray quickly ran in the direction of Olga Marie, but Olga Marie had already passed out because she was too seriously injured.
"It's going to be completely dark too."
She picked up Olga Marie and carried her on her back. She raised her head and looked at the sunset on the horizon. At this time, the sun was almost completely setting, and the wind and snow had become much heavier without realizing it.
"Mr. Gale, how long is the refuge from here?"
"Don't worry, we are only less than a quarter of an hour away. Of course, if you carry this little girl on your back, the speed will be slower."
………
………
After nearly two-quarters of an hour of trekking, Gray finally arrived at the place of refuge Gale mentioned before it got completely dark. It was a simple stone building similar to a church. It looked shabby, like
Like ruins.
In the center of the building, there was a golden flame swaying. Being close to the golden flame, Gray felt warm all over her body, and the coldness accumulated in her body was swept away.
Not only that, even the physical and mental fatigue was recovering quickly. Her arms were slightly itchy. Gray lowered his head and watched as the scratches from the previous battle were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"so amazing……"
She couldn't help but murmur to herself.
"This is a place of refuge, a sacred place that can heal all pain."
Gale fanned the pages of the book, getting close to the swaying golden flame, and made a pleasant sound.
"It's just that as the first fire went out, these sheltered places gradually became dilapidated. It was still very beautiful here before, but now, hey..."
There was a bit of disappointment in his voice. Through the ruins, he seemed to see the Ishruna who had not encountered the wind and snow again.
"Ms. Olga Marie's injuries have also recovered——!"
"Of course. As I said, all wounds can be healed here. Even if you only have one breath left, you can be alive and well the next day. If you die, you can be resurrected."
"Um……"
Gray nodded. Perhaps because she was in a shelter, she didn't feel hungry or thirsty, and she didn't even feel sleepy.
At this time, the sun outside had completely set on the mountain, and the wind and snow swept across the whole world. Even the night sky was covered by the white sky, and the sad and shrill sounds echoed throughout the world.
She couldn't imagine the consequences of being outside at this time. Faced with a wind and snow of this magnitude, it would probably take just a few seconds for any living creature to turn into an ice sculpture.
But in this place shrouded in the light of the golden flame, wind and snow cannot invade, so peace and tranquility remain.
"This doesn't look like a real flame."
During the long night, Gray had nothing to do and wandered around the shelter, trying to find some valuable information. Finally, she set her sights on the swaying golden flame.
"Of course it's not a flame."
Gale stretched out a book page, reached into it, and passed through it easily.
Gray also stretched out her hand curiously, but she didn't feel its substantial presence, as if the swaying golden flame was like a projection.
"Its real name is blessing. It is the blessing of the Holy King who created this world to the entire world. These blessings are also the projection of the power of the First Fire."
"Now you have also seen that because of the extinguishing of the First Fire, the power of these blessings has been greatly weakened, and it is still declining. It is estimated that it will not be long before these blessings will completely disappear."
"At that time, the depths of the forest sea and snowfield will no longer allow weak humans to set foot. But by that time, the entire Ishruna will probably be on the verge of destruction, and there will be no point in it."
Gale spoke in an understatement, but Gray could imagine the end of the world from his words. It must be a very desperate scene.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gale. I will definitely do my best to ignite the furnace of life and save the world of Ishruna."
She said seriously, now that she has agreed, she must work hard to do it well, not to mention that failure is not allowed in the matter of spreading fire.
"You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself."
As if he could see what Gray was thinking, Gale comforted,
"Even if we fail in the end, it doesn't matter. At least we have tried hard, and that is enough. Nothing can last forever, not even the world."
"But wouldn't that be more regrettable? We have tried hard, but we still failed in the end."
"Um……"
Gale suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he showed an expression of [╮(￣▽￣““)╭].
"Actually, I don't really understand what you're talking about. After all, I'm just a book."
"Good night then, little girl Gray, I hope you have a wonderful night!"
Without giving Gray another chance to speak, Gale quickly closed the pages of the book and lay on the ground pretending to be a real book.
"Hehehe, this is the book of eternity and time that records all the secrets? I almost laughed my teeth out, even though I don't have teeth."
Yade noticed the sound of ridicule. For Gale, they were just like enemies, thinking about attacking the other side all the time.
"Okay, good night, Yade, and Mr. Gale."
Gray put Yade away, then found a flat place to lie down, and wrapped himself tightly in his cloak.
"I wonder what Master is doing...?"
She looked at the wind and snow above her head and murmured to herself. In her random thoughts, sleepiness soon came to her consciousness, and she fell asleep without realizing it.
