Chapter 427 Riveria's Special Feelings
call out!
The slender sword blade shimmered with light, and under the infusion of the elven saintess's magic, the elven holy sword was completely repaired, and its level was even further improved as a result.
Roy saw the panel that popped up and quickly scanned the contents. He was surprised to find that the special effects of the Elven Holy Sword had been greatly enhanced, raising it to a whole new level, and that it had gained a new "Exorcism" effect, which was a special attack against unclean spirits.
Roy was pleased, but not surprised.
Back when they were dealing with the Heavenly Bull, the power of the Elf Holy Sword had clearly increased, and Roy knew then that it had a hidden "special attack against filthy fairies" effect.
Now it's completely out in the open.
Five quasi-god-level weapons with special effects are hard to find even with a lantern; Roy was completely satisfied.
As for the so-called "quasi-god level", it is a special level that lies between the legendary and the god level.
Roy could vaguely sense it.
It wasn't that the Elven Holy Sword didn't want to continue its upward breakthrough, but rather that some invisible and intangible yet real barrier blocked its path to ascension.
A truly divine item must possess divine power!
Just like when he uses the divine spear "Gungnir", he can kill a god by throwing it. God-level equipment is fundamentally different from other levels. Holding a divine weapon, one can directly confront a god who has unleashed his divine power!
Obtaining that kind of equipment is easier said than done!
Roy thought of the "World Tree" growing in his own Star Garden. Once fully grown, it would be at the god level. Even though it hadn't reached that stage yet, the fruit it bore had already provided him with immense help.
"Roy, it feels a little different." Riveria stroked the elven holy sword.
"Yes, thanks to you!"
Roy cast a grateful glance at the beautiful and charming elven royal; if it were just him, he probably wouldn't have been able to generate such a powerful resonance.
Riveria was unaware of the crucial role she had played. Hearing Roy's praise, her heart, dormant for centuries, was filled with joy, like a girl in love, cheering and jumping for joy.
"cough!"
Ultimately, reason prevailed. Rivera coughed lightly, suppressing the jumbled thoughts in her mind. "How are we going to get out of here?"
Because Guild member Royman kept the information about "Thousand Azure Ice Garden" a closely guarded secret, she had only heard about its existence from Zeus's Familia and had no idea what was inside or how to leave.
I heard that Roy poached Eina from the guild. She has browsed through almost all of the guild's important information and must have obtained intelligence about Thousand Cang Ice Garden.
That's absolutely true!
Based on the information Roy received from Eina, combined with information from his previous life, he should be one of the people in the world who knows "Thousand Cang Ice Garden" best.
That being said, the guild's intelligence came from the former Zeus Familia, who were unable to conquer this special area and had very limited information.
"Wait, let me look!"
Roy scanned his surroundings, searching for a way out.
The Elf Holy Sword has been upgraded, so this trip was worthwhile. Entering the Thousand Cang Ice Garden by accident was unforeseen. They need to get back on the correct route as soon as possible, find the main force, and head to the deeper levels to defeat the true form of the Filthy Immortal!
Rivera, "Can you use spatial magic?"
"Perception is very weak. If I'm not mistaken, this place will disrupt the movement of spatial magic." Roy shook his head slightly. Unless it's within sight, using spatial magic haphazardly is like running around like a headless fly, unable to control where you land.
Riveria's beautiful brows furrowed slightly. Why did the progenitor Celtia create this ice garden? This had always been a question that troubled them.
The underworld is chasing souls!
Roy activated his skill to track Liu, Tione, and the others, finding a way out of the Thousand Ice Garden. However, even his perception skills were affected within this area, becoming increasingly blurry the farther away they were.
Rivera's mindset was completely different.
When Eina was mentioned, Riveria looked at Roy with a more complicated expression. Eina was the daughter of Ainarindor, her confidante and best friend. Twenty-six years ago, Eina followed her and escaped from the Elf King Forest. Later, because Eina had a respiratory disease, she could not live in Orario and could only settle in the "Free City".
Riveria only recently learned of Eina's identity, having greeted her at the guild headquarters.
I have some understanding of this younger generation.
Eina and Aina have completely opposite personalities. The former is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and seems to be a shrewd and capable urban woman. The latter is soft on the outside but tough on the inside, and is timid and easily startled. However, at crucial moments, she has a decisiveness that surprises everyone. Whether it is to escape from the Elf King Forest or to settle in the free city and marry and have children with an ordinary human, it is her choice.
Over the years, the two have maintained correspondence, but Aina has never asked Riveria for help.
Riveria also showed great respect for the other party.
At the same time, it was clear that her little niece Eina's heart was with Roy. Riveria sighed inwardly and, using her LV.7 dexterity, silently withdrew her hand from Roy's.
As the "Oarioth Sea King," Roy naturally noticed Rivera's unusual behavior. The most important thing now was to leave this place, so he handed her the elven holy sword. "Rivera, you use this weapon!"
"???"
Riveria stared blankly at the elven holy sword that was handed to her, her usually clever and quick-witted little head buzzing. This weapon was no less valuable than her staff, "Great Elf," and perhaps even more expensive.
Roy handed it to him so casually.
What was revealed was Roy's absolute trust. How could Riveria not be moved? A warm current filled her heart and quickly flowed throughout her body.
Was it intentional? Because of Eina, she had just tried to keep her distance from Roy when he handed her this top-tier weapon.
Rivera stared intently at Roy with her beautiful eyes.
Roy was utterly baffled. A woman's heart is unfathomable. "I'll lend it to you for now. This place is too strange, and I'm not confident I can protect you!"
The difficulty of conquering the Thousand Cang Ice Garden far exceeds that of the outer Ice River Domain; the monsters inside are guaranteed to be at least level 6 or 7.
There were quite a few, and some were even stronger!
Those monsters wouldn't wait for Riveria, the defender, to leisurely chant incantations and unleash her magic.
The clothes Rivilia wore were called "Elf Cloths," woven from the fibers of the Holy King Tree of the Elf King Forest, and possessed extremely high magic resistance.
The original form of this armor was the royal dress that Riveria wore when she ran away from home. After years of enhancement and the addition of new materials, it is now a first-class armor with extremely strong defense.
Riveria is good at defense but lacks offensive capabilities.
The Elven Holy Sword perfectly fills this gap.
With Roy's current resources, even without the Elven Holy Sword, his combat strength wouldn't be significantly reduced.
"I know!"
Rivera knew the reason, of course. She had to protect herself, but it was impossible for her not to be moved; her emotions were complex. She and Aina were like sisters. Aina was Aina's daughter, and Aina liked Roy. If she also liked Roy, then how would their family relationships be determined?
This question is really too brain-teasing!
Riveria reached out her slender, snow-white hand to take the elven holy sword, and a feeling of blood connection welled up inside her!
As a true member of the Elven royal family, Riveria can also wield the Elven Holy Sword, and her bloodline is even purer than Roy's, who has half of the Elven royal bloodline!
hum!hum!hum!
The elven holy sword trembled and emitted a joyful sound.
Roy was speechless; in his hands, the broken sword didn't react so violently.
"Roy, how do I use this sword?"
Rivera said curiously that, under the resonance of bloodlines, she could feel the power of the elven holy sword. If she studied it slowly, it wouldn't be difficult to figure out the hidden power within it, but what they needed most right now was time.
Without Roy's analysis panel, Riveria could not have mastered and used the Elven Holy Sword in a short time.
"Burning Heaven, 60% power!"
Roy stretched out his large hand and grasped the elven holy sword together with Riveria's delicate little hand, gazing ahead and whispering softly.
As his words fell, the Elven Holy Sword seemed to transform into a black hole that devoured everything. The surrounding magic was frantically consumed by it, and a visible vortex of magic rapidly formed around the sword!
Rivera's rosy lips parted slightly.
Boom!
A roar like a volcano awakening resounded through the sky, and endless streams of crimson flames erupted from the elven holy sword. The scorching torrent rapidly expanded, transforming into a terrifying fire dragon roaring to the heavens.
The fiery dragon soared out, its massive body swaying as it swept across the land. Wherever it passed, the biting wind and snow were instantly evaporated, and the ferocious ice monsters were reduced to ashes the moment they came into contact with the destructive flames! On the pale earth, huge scorch marks, like branding iron marks, shimmered with dark red embers.
It swept across, leaving a fan-shaped trail of ash stretching for twenty kilometers.
"That's amazing!"
A look of astonishment appeared on Riveria's beautiful face. Although she was mentally prepared, the power displayed by the elven holy sword still exceeded her expectations.
A mere short incantation can unleash incredibly powerful wide-area magic!
"not bad!"
Roy released his grip; the 60% power of the energy already surpassed the previous full-power Glowing Sky. Other special effects hadn't been used yet, but it was foreseeable that they would be enhanced.
Rivera gripped the elven holy sword tightly in her small hands. The hilt and her arm still held the warmth of Roy's palm. In the midst of the extreme cold and snow, she felt a surge of warmth and a sense of security as if she had entered a safe haven.
Roy did not participate in the attack on the icy beasts. Riveria used the elven holy sword to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Only the beasts that survived were worth Roy's attention. He killed a series of LV.7 monsters.
[Congratulations on slaying the Poisonous Centipede Dragon (LV.6)! You have gained 5 attribute points and a Centipede Dragon Scale!]
[Congratulations on slaying the Evil-Eyed Saber-Toothed Tiger (LV.7)! You have gained 80 attribute points and a sword-shaped tiger tooth!]
[Congratulations on slaying the mutant mammoth (LV.7)! You have gained 100 attribute points and a silver treasure chest!]
Putting aside the unique nature of Qiancang Ice Garden, it's a great place to farm rewards. It's full of high-level monsters, and apart from a few tangible beasts that can move, the rest are all frozen, making it like the Biohazard Morgue in CrossFire.
It's practically a gold mine for people to exploit!
Roy was burning with passion. At LV.7, he could be the final boss in many dungeons. There was no chance for him to slaughter people like pigs and dogs.
While searching for the exit of the Thousand Ice Garden, teach Rivera how to use the other special effects of the Elf Holy Sword, and hunt frozen monsters to obtain rewards.
Roy's heart was pounding uncontrollably.
The threat of the filthy fairy was too great, and the battle against it could not be delayed. As a result, even after completing his great feat, he did not have extra time to max out his attributes. His obsessive-compulsive disorder also prevented him from leveling up with half-baked abilities.
Entering the Thousand Cang Ice Garden by chance was a good thing.
With the Elf Holy Sword upgraded to Quasi-God level, he may also max out his attributes and reach LV.8, allowing him to travel to the Demon Realm with even greater strength to vanquish the filthy fairy spirit.
After walking for about two hours, Roy arrived at a vast, boundless ice field. It was still so cold, and he was certain that he had not yet left the Thousand Cang Ice Garden.
And the pursuit of souls in the underworld came to an abrupt end!
Woohoo!
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a raging blizzard swept back in. The howling wind carried the blizzard across the vast snow-covered landscape, and visibility was once again mercilessly stripped away, making it impossible to see people even up close.
It is extremely fast, giving no time to react.
Roy and Riveria had to stop.
Sensing the danger, Roy acted swiftly, grabbing Riveria's supple wrist and gripping her hand tightly with steady force.
Rivera braved the wind and snow, her emerald green eyes fixed on the distance. "Roy, look over there!"
Roy, who was hesitating whether to use spatial magic, focused his gaze and pierced through the swirling pale curtain like a sharp sword. In a fleeting glance, deep in the blizzard, the outline of a majestic temple, exuding an ancient and eerie aura, appeared faintly.
"What is that?"
Roy murmured, exchanging a glance with Riveria; it was clearly a man-made object.
Before the gate, countless shadowy figures, clad in ice crystal armor and motionless, stood like ice sculptures that had stood there since time immemorial, exuding a deathly stillness and oppressive aura that sent chills down one's spine.
What's even more unsettling is the depths of the temple.
The enormous gate of the temple was wide open, and amidst the swirling snow, a huge ice coffin, carved entirely from translucent ice, could be vaguely seen!
It floated silently in the darkness of the hall, as if freezing an unimaginable, terrifying existence.
The view was severely obscured by the raging snowstorm, and everything was shrouded in a blur and unreality. Before Roy could even see the details of the ice coffin, he was still in the dark.
Woohoo!
Seemingly sensing his gaze, the blizzard became even more frenzied and enraged, with endless snowflakes and ice particles swirling in the air, covering the entire ice field.
Faced with the terrifying cold and tearing force, Roy and Riveria also felt unprecedented pressure.
It's as if it's saying, "This is not a place for you!"
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy suddenly pulled Riveria tightly into his arms, and spatial magic fluctuations appeared, the rapidly spreading ripples forming a small vortex that swallowed the two tightly embracing each other.
Roy's target was naturally that eerie temple, which both he and Riveria could sense held the core secret of the "Thousand Ice Garden".
Things didn't go as planned!
Swish!
Due to the strange spatial interference, Roy and Riveria did not enter the temple. When they landed again, what came into view was the familiar environment and dungeon monsters of the 6,000-layer "Glacier Domain".
The raging blizzard that tore flesh apart and the eerie temple that loomed in the depths of the Pale Wasteland, its doors wide open—it was as if everything that had just happened was merely a fleeting illusion in the blizzard.
"The Thousand Cang Ice Garden has disappeared!"
Rivera bit her lip, her beautiful face filled with disappointment. This was perhaps the closest she had ever been to finding out the truth about Ais's past.
Roy couldn't pinpoint the location of "Thousand Cang Ice Garden" either, nor could he directly enter it using a higher-level transfer, demonstrating the unique nature of that area.
A moment later, Roy's furrowed brows relaxed.
Leaving the Thousand Cang Ice Garden might not be a bad thing. They still need to fight the tainted immortal spirit in its true form. Once they enter that temple, who knows how much more time will be wasted.
After a brief moment of disappointment, Rivera realized this as well, her eyes hardening. "Roy!"
"Um!"
Roy nodded. There was no rush with the Thousand Cang Ice Garden. Since they could enter once, they would definitely be able to enter a second time. Sooner or later, they would unravel the secrets of that place.
