Dragon King's Harem Chapter 98. The Third Day II
The suns were getting higher, indicating it was almost afternoon now. We decided to stop for lunch and take a rest. Unfortunately, wherever our eyes looked, we didn't find a suitable place for it or some rock as a place for us to sit. So we simply took a rest on the side of the path and sat on our blanket. The only good thing was we could kill some monsters as food for us and our mounts. It was much better than the bread. Moreover, it was a warm meal.
But only a while, right after we finished eating, we continued our journey again. There was nothing there, so instead of spending too much time in that place, we chose to speed up so we could arrive sooner to the next village and get a better bed tonight.
After crossing a hill, the scenery around us changed. From a distance, our gazes captured a big river of ice flowing from the mountains. A piece of land was in the middle of the white river. A temple in the shape of a white pyramid was above it. That pyramid was only the size of a small tent that was only enough for one or two people with a short altar inside. Its name was Glacier Temple. Yeah, there was no fancy places in cold territory like this.
"We're almost there," I said to cheer them up, myself included. We really needed that since all we saw all day was the white colour of the snow. In addition, we also did not meet any convoy or people yet. Only the monsters greeted us and they were predominantly white since they used their fur to blend with the surroundings. It was so frustrating and boring. What I wanted was to return to Dragon Cross City immediately. But on second thought, the Snow Elf Queen wouldn't be able to reach me if I returned to my palace too soon. I still needed a lot of information from her. Besides that my goal was to raise my level. So I couldn't complain either.
We spurred our Yegauns with enthusiasm since we could get there sooner than we thought. Still, even though there were only fewer monsters around here than in warm territories, we had to be careful. Especially with the Ice Giant Worm. It was a worm-shaped monster hiding under a snowy area like this. Just like the Ice Drake, it spent most of its time sleeping and only going out to eat. The monster itself was not a problem for us, but its skill. If they came in large numbers, then it could cause an avalanche.
Before the sunlight above our heads dimmed, we arrived at the side of the glacier. I pulled the reins in my hand to stop my mount, so did they. My eyes fell on the small temple not far from us before I swept my gaze over the glacier. My heart was pounding since my Dragon Vision could catch hundreds, no, thousands of Ice Giant Worms sleeping deep inside the glacier.
"Lower your voice and minimize your movement. Ice Giant Worms. Thousands of them," I warned them without taking my eyes off those monsters that filled the glacier. They were piled up and close to each other.
"I will go to the Temple alone. Wait for me here," I ordered. It was my only option. Moreover, the temple was too small for all of us, as well as the land which was only about a city car size.
"Be careful," said Evelina and Jyne in unison.
After turning to them and replying to them with a nod, I opened my wings and flew towards the temple. My gaze fell on those Worms.
[Name: Ice Giant Worm]
[Level 41]
[Type: Brute]
[Element: Ice]
[Speed: Normal]
[HP: 525/525]
[Mana: 97/97]
[ATK: 287]
[M.ATK: 106]
[DEF: 97]
[Skills: Frost Bite, Ice Burst, Dig]
I descended slowly on the land. As my feet were on the ground, I lowered my head to enter the small temple. Without wasting time, I knelt before the altar and touched the magic formation. An announcement appeared before me.
[New essence detected!]
[Ice sacred place's essence]
[Do you want to extract it?]
[Yes] [No]
'Yes.'
[Essence Absorption initiated ...]
The formation let out cold air that swirled around my body. Within seconds, the cold air turned into flakes of ice that surrounded me. Then my body absorbed it. An announcement appeared in front of me.
[Congratulations! You have acquired a new skill: Glayze!]
[Glayze (Requires 5 Mana) - Inflicts Ice element Magic to all enemies in a set area around the caster and leaves them frozen. If the enemy is freezing, this skill inflicts higher damage.]
Then, I immediately got out of there and returned to my mount.
"Let's get out of here," I said. I was quite relieved that I could take the skill without encountering any problems.
Unfortunately, my guess was wrong. As soon as we turned around we could see another giant monster approaching. It was a rhino shaped monster the size of a double-decker bus. His body was covered by hard and thick skin like a rhinoceros with four snake heads facing us as his head. His tail also had the same number as his head, but instead of a rhino's tail, he had a snake's tail, the same as his head. But despite his head resembling a snake, his teeth anatomy was the same as a wolf's.
[Name: Nrakross]
[Level 61]
[Type: Brute]
[Element: Ice]
[Speed: Normal]
[HP:1025/1025]
[Mana: 397/397]
[ATK: 587]
[M.ATK: 116]
[DEF: 187]
[Skills: Frost Bite, Ice Defense, Roar of Ice Petal]
That monster grinned, showing us his sharp teeth. His saliva dripped from his mouths since he was able to find his prey. His growls came out of each of his mouths as he drew closer to us. Even though I knew I could defeat that monster easily, he was still bad news for us. Since our battle would only wake up those Ice Giant Worms.
