Chapter 603 - Shrieks at the snowland
GDK 603: Shrieks at the snowland
Many powerful characters had once upon a time appeared on Profound Continent. Ayermike Cotton, Pegasus, and Graeae were originally figures ahead of their times. On the stage of Profound Continent, the three had once played extremely important roles. However, the Primordius Dragon deemed that their existences had disrupted the natural order of Profound Continent and therefore he took it upon himself to sentence the three to imprisonment under the Dragon Valley.
Although the three possessed mighty strength, compared to the Primordius Dragon, the guardian of Profound Continent, they fell far behind. Before the Primordus Dragon took action, they could stir up havoc with no repercussions. But when the Primordius Dragon took action, their hands were tied and they could only stand waiting to be captured.
The guardian of Profound Continent did not exterminate the three. After capturing them, he only incarcerated them, never putting their lives in danger.
From Ayermike Cotton’s narration, Han Shuo learned that the forbidden land inside Dark Forest was where the three were apprehended. There were many unruly magical beasts that were sentenced to death in the forbidden land for the heresy of challenging Primordius Dragon’s might.
“I will exact my vengeance against the old dragon!” Pegasus said angrily after listening to Ayermike Cotton’s simplified recount of the course of events.
Han Shuo looked at Pegasus disdainfully and said, “Even with ten clones of yourself, you are no match against the Primordius Dragon.”
Pegasus was a manticore who had repeatedly had fortuitous encounters. Although he wasn’t a super-ranked magical beast, he was a really lucky one. He managed to obtain two crystal cores from super-ranked magical beasts that died in a fight. After absorbing the two crystal cores of the super-ranked magical beasts, he began to mutate. Then, through many years of cultivation, he managed to make multiple breakthroughs in one go, giving him strength that transcended beyond the five ranks.
The Ancient Lizard King Dagassi that Han Shuo had earlier met at the underground world was merely a rank five magical beast. Based on the division of ranks of magical beasts, this Pegasus was likely a rank six with the strength of basegod.
However, no matter how powerful a basegod was, against the Primordius Dragon who was in the lowgod realm, the basegod would be dead without a doubt. They had absolutely no chance, not even in escaping.
However, Graeae the banshee seemed to be one step ahead. She did not need to rely on physical contact to launch attacks. She screamed at the top of her lungs. Her ear-piercing voice tore through the air and spread to every frozen summit of the snowland as frigid cold air blew wildly.
Graeae the banshee cultivated in the elemental energy of wind. This race was born with special abilities to attack and cause confusion through their voices. By fusing her voice with the wind element, the shriek produced by Graeae the banshee possessed extraordinary firepower.
As she let out ear-piercing shrieks, avalanches suddenly broke out in many parts of the snowland. Her piercing shrieks constantly reverberated through the snowland. Many disciples of the Shine of Ice on the frozen peaks couldn’t stand the nuisance of the sharp noise and walked out from the shrines they lived in one after another, glowering at Graeae.
“Who are you? How dare you monkey around in our Shrine of Ice!” a great swordmaster with a stone-cold face yelled and glowered at Graeae while raising a longsword that sent out a chilling aura.
Pow!
Right after that swordmaster shouted those words, Pegasus fell from the sky and landed on him. This swordmaster was given no chance at all to react and was stomped deep into the snowland alive by Pegasus’ muscular body. He could no longer make a sound.
Graeae the banshee was still shrieking loudly. The element of wind wildly converged on the snowland as her voice reverberated through the area. As the voice of Graeae the banshee grew louder and louder, many of the weaker Shrine of Ice disciples began to bleed from their ears. They had evidently suffered severe injuries.
The avalanches were still going on. As rumbles sounded, several frozen peaks of the Shrine of Ice gradually started to shake.
After Pegasus landed on the tallest frozen summit, he transformed into his original form of a savage and tough-bodied manticore and slaughtered all the Shrine of Ice disciples who charged at him. Being much greater in strength, Pegasus had met with zero resistance. He pranced and mauled around uninhibitedly, shredding the disciples of the Shrine of Ice into pieces one after another. Not a single one of them was a worthy opponent.
“Back then, Pegasus and Graeae were ferocious beings that every expert on Profound Continent was afraid of. Now that the two are liberated, other than you and the Primordius Dragon, I’m afraid there is no existence that could stop the two,” Ayermike Cotton indifferently explained to Han Shuo standing beside him as they watched Pegasus and Graeae slaughter away.
“Hehe, the Primordius Dragon was a little too merciful after all. If it were me, I would surely have finished these obviously restless fellas if they didn’t obey me, lest they cause any trouble in the future,” Han Shuo smirked. Something came to his mind and he thought for a moment before he said, “Oh, by the way, your personal notes on the cultivation of the element of darkness as well as the magical staff you left in the forbidden land were obtained by me. Hehe, perhaps we were brought together by fate. However, I don’t think that I can return the items to you as I have gifted them away.”
Contrary to expectations, Ayermike Cotton seemed pleasantly surprised at Han Shuo’s words. He looked deeply into Han Shuo’s eyes and lamented, “It really does seems that fate has brought us together. Back then, I thought that I would be dead without a doubt and therefore left these things behind, hoping that someone would inherit my cultivation experiences and approaches. Who knew that they would come to be in your possession. Perhaps we are destined to meet.”
As they conversed, a powerful voice came from the tallest frozen peak, “Cease!” The voice was abruptly followed by a human figure darting out. It was Snow Celestial Tiana who had once plotted against Han Shuo.
