Novel Bin Chapter 73 Winter Be Born
Chapter 73: Winter be born
Leon found quite a good connection with the snow women.
"So you are here for the dragon, just like I had thought."
"Yes. She\'s known as Blue Thanatos, and her real name is Alexandra. She used to be a high-level existence but committed a crime that even The Dragon Guild couldn\'t tolerate. They had taken away her levels and banished her to this spirit realm. She was forced to live here for years without any killing intent that she loves so much." The snow woman\'s eyes flashed with violent coldness, her unique killing intent. "This term is known as [Fallen Wings] in the dragon\'s language."
Her name was Erika.
Leon felt that this dragon had taken away someone or something precious from Winterborn, for the snow woman\'s pleasant coldness turned sharper.
Louise had been curious about it. "Why did you decide to work with the master?"
"Because we have seen that he\'s close with you and the vampiress." Erika didn\'t hide that fact.
Celes pressed on this topic, still holding onto Leon\'s arm. "I\'ve heard that it\'s difficult to speak with the Winterborn, mainly the snow women." For that reason, she had said that perhaps one of them had taken a fancy to her master, but Celes didn\'t disclose that information. "It can\'t be just seeing through us."
"A certain man said that no matter what form, all living beings possess the same hearts. Excited, it burns. Frightened, it becomes cold. We can feel the latter. Someone under someone\'s manipulative skill produces two times more emotions, but those genuine get hidden deep inside their hearts and get replaced by the fake. Snow people are sensitive to those feelings, so we can see through people. When we exchanged eye contact, you were genuinely scared of failing your mission. I knew you weren\'t forced to spy on others, including us." Snow woman explained, looking ahead as the whole party was on their way to the crack.
She spoke fluently and casually, which made Leon look at the vampiress peculiarly, for this black-haired girl mostly spoke lazily and slowly. Leon imagined that the snow woman was the same, but he was mistaken.
Celes didn\'t understand his eyes, so she said nothing.
On the other hand, Louise felt really nice and couldn\'t hide her feelings. "Heart is the best! It connects people, gives us sweet feelings, and is the key to all our problems!"
Louise recalled remembering some stuff during their battle against the black skeleton. It was surely because of her heart that her master had kindled!
No other way!
Louise\'s tails waggled, and her ears flapped as she gazed at Leon. Her cheeks seemed on fire.
Celes instantly dealt with that. "Yes, the heart pumps blood, and once you lose it, you become dead. It\'s really the best and most important organ. You\'re so precious, Louise."
"Celes!" Louise nearly let her master\'s arm go, for the vampiress poked fun at her! Now, her heart blazed with fury, boiling worse than her pot!
It was good that Leon was between them, and they were in a dangerous land. Louise slowly developed a desire to scratch Celes\' gorgeous face. At least it was better than breaking her nose!
"Hmph!"
"Haha!"
Leon rolled his eyes because of these two.
They were currently on their way to the crack. Of course, it was much easier with the Winterborn, for Leon\'s plan to ensure the survival of other guild members had become revised and better. He\'d work with them to leave because even Winterborn no longer believed they had enough advantage in the split spirit realm.
They hadn\'t given up on the dragon, too.
Leon found another fortress, and water fountaining out of it had caught his attention.
"Yes, the fortresses had been flooded by that dragon\'s skills. The guilds had seized them to spread their line of defense, only to get drowned in Blue Thanatos\' element." Erika caught him looking that way and explained.
Leon gravely nodded.
"Master, we\'re really close to the crack." Celes stopped the whole group, and with her eyes closed, she deeply scrutinized the conquered land using her bats.
Because of her minimap, Celes seamlessly pointed out others\' locations, then easily conveyed it to the snow women, for these girls had the most important task now.
Erika and the other three snow women nodded, believing in their new allies.
"I\'ll be the medium." Erika stepped forward, then glanced at the crystal giant. That big creature heeded her wordless order, coming closer to her.
She put a hand on his crystal back. Meanwhile, other snow women chanted some magic words, speaking in a language Leon oddly could understand. Louise, Celes, and others remained clueless.
A cold breeze went through the whole party, then it became palpable and milky white streaks that swirled around Erika, eventually sinking into her clothes, then curves. At the same time, the crystal giant started shrinking as though Erika had been sucking out his mana.
Erika raised her hand high. "Winter be born."
BANG!
In an instant, the wave of coldness went forth, turning everything into ice on its way to the crack. Snowflakes rained down in abundance, pilling up on the frozen forest and fortresses laid out by the spirit monsters. It became too windy, with the blizzard sinking into the forest!
Erika picked up the small crystal giant, pulled her collar away from her neck, then threw him into her bosom. "Rest." She let her cloth go, imprisoning the man in possibly one of the best prisons!
That guy fell into her cleavage, then comfortably spread his arms, enjoying the warmth as though he landed in the hot springs.
What a practice, what a culture!
Leon screamed like a leader, ignoring that culture. "Forward to the crack! Use this snow domain to your advantage!"
Winterborn controlled their domain so that all allies could cooperate with them. On the other hand, Leon, Louise, and Celes didn\'t fear the snow, so even if their new allies turned out to be difficult teammates, they\'d be able to cooperate with them to achieve their goals.
For now, everyone wanted the same thing — leave the split spirit realm!
But then, a vast and giant existence took over the skies…
"Blue Thanatos…" Leon clenched his hands as he gazed at the dragon in its monster form.
She parted her jaw.
He was just a few minutes away from experiencing the first dragon\'s roar! And as Leon felt the whole spirit realm stirring due to her presence, he knew his first dragon\'s roar experience was bound to be pretty extreme.
"Fucking dragons. Always so troublesome." Celes cursed, then covertly took a sip of her liquor, only to get a glare from her master.
Louise gawked at the dragon. "She looks so cool… I wish I could fly too! Maybe if I twirl my tails…."
"You\'ll try it later!" Leon patted Louise\'s back, then took her hand, going forward.
However, as the dragon kept channeling her roar, Leon\'s uncomfortable feeling sank through his body and went into his heart. For the first time in his life, that natural instinct told him that he might suffer for real.
That he might die.
