Chapter 566 - Frozen Lake (IV)
The ice surface of the Frozen Lake wasn’t as smooth as they had imagined. It felt as though it was an extension of the earth and its bone-piercing chills punctured their soles and spread into their feet. Not only that, but the chilliness also sent shivers down their spines. Even though the mercenaries wore thick boots, they felt as though they were walking barefooted in a world of ice and snow.
Ice-cold breeze scratched their ears and the tranquil massive lake was filled with only the clomping of the mercenaries’ boots. Most of the mercenaries held shields in their left hand and swords on the other, scanning the surrounding vigilantly under Marfa’s lead. Meanwhile, Rhode casually strode in front of them with the Ocean Elves.
At this moment, there were sudden movements in all directions. A dozen human-shaped and ice-formed figures crawled out of the ice surface. Unlike humans, the figures didn’t have faces, facial features, and two razor-sharp ice blades substituted their palms. They let out deep growls at the mercenaries.
They’re here.
Rhode twitched his brows. He knew what they were—Ice Creatures. They didn’t have any IQ but were abnormally aggressive. The situation would be dire if the mercenaries were contained by the Ice Creatures in their home ground. However, Rhode was confident in facing them.
More and more Ice Creatures crawled out and instead of attacking immediately, they wandered around the mercenaries like a pack of wolves eyeing their prey. However, Rhode knew that they wouldn’t wait for long and they would pounce on the mercenaries as soon as they spotted an opening. Not only that, but the monsters would also reborn with the never-ending water source if they were defeated. If that happened, it would become a fierce battle for Starlight.
Fortunately, Rhode had his ways around them.
He extended his right hand and a pitch-black card emerged out of thin air and floated above his palm. He looked straight at the creatures that had sealed their path entirely and ordered without turning back. “Agatha. Now!”
The Ocean Elves held hands and gazed at the ferocious creatures calmly. Shortly after, the Ocean Elves widened their mouths and sang a melodious song that filled the entire place.
