Like the Church of Light, the Shrine of Ice was also a relatively well-known religious organization on Profound Continent. The Shrine of Ice worshiped the Ice Goddess. Although this church's influence was not as great as that of the Church of Light, it was not to be belittled.
The Shrine of Ice was the state religion of Kasi Empire. The Shrine of Ice was located on top of the coldest snowy mountain in Kasi Empire. Tiana, as the protector of Kasi Empire, was unexpectedly from the Shrine of Ice, and the Snow Goddess of the Shrine of Ice at that.
Han Shuo only understood these secrets from Corey. However, even Candide of the Dark Mantle didn't know these things. It seemed that this Shrine of Ice was rather mysterious.
By now, Han Shuo finally understood why Tiana would plot against him. The Church of Light and the Shrine of Ice had always been close. As the Snow Goddess of the Shrine of Ice, it was only natural that Tiana would frame them for the Church of Light.
In front of Han Shuo, a group of Shrine of Ice members, led by Ice Celestial Corey, were watching Han Shuo vigilantly. Among them, Corey was the strongest, roughly on par with Han Shuo in strength. The other five emanated icy auras, roughly at the level of sacred grade experts.
The strength of this group was by no means weak. They would be a force that no one would dare to ignore in any country. It made sense. This was the second layer of the underground world. For them to dare to slaughter in the territory of dark dragons, they naturally had to possess a certain level of strength.
It was also at this moment that Han Shuo began to understand why Lawrence was so happy when he learned that Han Shuo possessed demigod strength. Oden Empire had the Church of Light, and Kasi Empire had the Shrine of Ice. Generally speaking, religious organizations like these controlled terrifying experts. The reason why Lancelot Empire hadn't dared to go on expeditions for so many years was probably because they were apprehensive of the existence of those people.
Soon after, another doubt surfaced in Han Shuo's mind. Judging from the strength displayed by Kasi Empire, they had completely suppressed Lancelot Empire. Why hadn't Kasi Empire invaded Lancelot Empire for so many years? With just the Snow Goddess and the Ice Goddess, before he became a demigod, who in Lancelot Empire could stop them?
Apart from that, there was also the Brut Merchant Alliance and the Angela Empire. Both of them had the support of powerful experts. Even the seven grand duchies had the demigod old monster Statholme. If so, why had the Lancelot Empire remained unscathed for so many years?
"What do you mean?" Just as Han Shuo was letting his imagination run wild, Ice God shouted again. The bone-chilling sword in his hand was already unsheathed!
Han Shuo stared blankly for a moment before immediately coming to his senses. He then turned his head to look at dark dragon Gilbert, only to see that Gilbert was currently being cursed at by a thin and weak little old man in the cage behind Corey with tearful eyes. This little old man should be Gilbert's grandfather – the patriarch of the dark dragons, Gilges. Although his tone was vile and angry, his anxious expression showed his concern.
Gilbert turned a deaf ear to his grandfather's curses. He just glared at Ice Celestial Corey with a pair of eyes filled with bone-piercing hatred. Even though he did not practice the God Slaying Devil Path, the killing intent emanating from his body was still incomparably intense. It was a bloodthirsty desire to destroy everything.
"Nothing!" Han Shuo coldly snorted. He opened his hand and five dark rays shot out from his fingers, heading straight for the spotlessly white cage imprisoning the dark dragons.
Contrary to Han Shuo's expectations, Corey, who was standing beside the cage, did not make a move to intercept the attack. He merely wore a sneer of ridicule on his face as he looked at Han Shuo disdainfully. The other five also had the same expression. The way they looked at Han Shuo made Han Shuo extremely unhappy.
However, Han Shuo soon found out why he had such a disdainful expression. Han Shuo's five rays of light did not encounter any obstruction from Corey and the other five. They directly bombarded the surface of the cage that was as spotlessly white as snow. Only a few clanging sounds could be heard. The cage remained unscathed under Han Shuo's bombardment.
Han Shuo was stunned. He knew very well how terrifying the impact force contained in those five rays of light was. Even the hardest iron and stone would be pulverized. However, the cage remained unscathed under Han Shuo's attack. This was clearly beyond Han Shuo's expectations.
"This is a cage blessed by the Snow Goddess. If you can break it, we'll turn around and run!" Ice Celestial Corey sneered as he looked at Han Shuo. He pointed the ice-cold longsword in his hand at Han Shuo and said, "It seems that you are the enemy!"
As soon as Corey's words fell, the five beside him simultaneously left the cage, as though they were not afraid of the cage being broken. Each and every one of them spread out with cold and detached expressions. They were probably prepared to make Han Shuo and dark dragon Gilbert stay behind.
Among the six, Ice Celestial Corey was the strongest. Judging from the aura emanating from his body, he should be a magic swordsman. The longsword in his hand contained an enormous aura of ice. This kind of aura was mixed with pure and chilly divine energy. It was astonishingly similar to the divine energy of the Temple Knights of the Church of Light.
These so-called churches were all like this. With devotion to the gods they believed in, they could always borrow some divine energy from their gods. Even if it was only a small portion of divine energy, it was enough for them to surpass their own shackles and possess power unimaginable to ordinary people.
Seeing that the six fellows from the Shrine of Ice were slowly trying to surround him, Han Shuo couldn't help but frown. If it was only Ice Celestial Corey, Han Shuo wouldn't be afraid of him. After all, Han Shuo was extremely confident in himself. However, if the five sacred-grade experts were to be added to the mix, Han Shuo would have some trouble dealing with them.
Among the other five, two of them were water sacred magi. At this moment, they had already begun to chant incantations. All of a sudden, the second layer of the underground world seemed to have turned into a world of ice and snow. A bone-chilling coldness pervaded the entire region in the blink of an eye.
"Friend, no matter who you are, don't even think of leaving safely today!" Corey listened to the chanting of his subordinates as he advanced step by step towards Han Shuo. The longsword in his hand was gradually covered in a layer of ice that was as bright and resplendent as a diamond. This layer of ice contained an incomparably chilling aura.
"Ganging up on me? Hehe, I'm least afraid of being ganged up on! " Han Shuo was suddenly no longer worried. At once, he let out a mischievous laugh and took out the skeletal staff from his hand. Following the chanting of necromancy incantations, one undead creature after another appeared around Han Shuo.
Before Corey could get close to Han Shuo, there was no longer an empty spot around Han Shuo. All of them had been blocked by a dense horde of undead creatures.
From low level skeletal warriors and ghouls to evil knights, bone demons, and mummy lords, they were all present. Especially the earth elite zombie and his gang of extremely strange fellows. Every one of them wore strange armors. Among them, the metal elite zombie held a dazzling golden cudgel in his hand, while the fire elite zombie held a pulsating fire attribute treasure, the Fire Lotus.
Among undead creatures, this was an unspeakable oddity!
"You, you are actually a wretched necromancer!" Corey was gobsmacked. Obviously, he was rather astonished that Han Shuo could summon so many undead creatures.
"Hehe, so what if I'm a necromancer? Even the entire race of dark dragons have been imprisoned in our hands. What do you think these low-level undead creatures can do to us? "Corey was very conceited. Obviously, he did not attach any importance to the undead creatures summoned by Han Shuo.
Low-level? Han Shuo sneered. Soon after, he secretly issued an order to the five elite zombies – to find an opportunity to form the Penta-elemental Undead Formation.
As Little Skull was busy fusing his soul with the Origin Crystal of pure death, he did not appear this time. However, with the five elite zombies here, in addition to the three evil knights and the mummy lord, Han Shuo still had the confidence to resist the six from the Shrine of Ice.
However, to ensure that nothing went wrong, Han Shuo first ordered the five elite zombies to prepare the Penta-elemental Undead Formation. Although the five elite zombies were still unable to completely fuse all of their energies in this formation, from what Little Skull had said previously, Han Shuo understood that even the five elite zombies were extremely formidable.
"Master, I want revenge, I want to kill them!" dark dragon Gilbert bellowed furiously.
"With just you lot?" Corey sneered with extreme contempt. Then, with a face full of loathing, he shouted in a low voice, "Clean up these filthy undead creatures for me!"
As soon as Ice Celestial Corey's words faded, the incantation that had been chanting all along suddenly came to a halt. Soon after, the entire region turned into a land of ice and snow. The coldness engulfed the entire canyon. Gigantic icicles and millstone-sized hailstones suddenly appeared, raining down on the undead creatures everywhere in the canyon.
The magic of a sacred-grade magus was indeed terrifying, especially when it was released by two sacred-grade magi at the same time!
The entire canyon became a frightening scene of icicles and hailstones raining down. The enormous number of undead creatures summoned by Han Shuo struck the low-level skeletal warriors and zombie warriors one after another.
In an extremely short period of time, the thousands of undead creatures were smashed into pieces by the icicles and hailstones. However, starting from the hate warriors, the tough bodies of the high-level undead creatures were able to withstand the attacks. Naturally, high-level undead creatures like the bone demon and mummy lord were unscathed.
The cold aura that spread throughout the entire canyon caused the dark dragons in the cages to shiver. However, to the undead creatures, the cold would never pose a threat to them. Under the hail of icicles, the undead creatures that were still alive lined up to attack Corey and the others.
