Before going to sleep tonight, Luo Ya thought that he could have a good night's rest, but things didn't go as he wished.
In his sleep, Luo Ya had a vague feeling. It was as if something in the deepest part of his body was resisting something from the outside world. It constantly overflowed with curse power, covering the surroundings as if it was protecting itself. Then, a beautiful, familiar, and frightening figure flashed in his mind.
“！”
Frost, a room full of frost. This was what Luo Ya saw after waking up.
The loss of control of power was terrifying, but at this time, Luo Ya didn't care about this because he could feel that the Crown Stone wasn't harming him. Instead, it was protecting him. When he understood this, the young man's face completely changed.
"How is this possible?"
In the center of the street, Luo Ya, whose body was surrounded by cold air, also saw the strange phenomenon. It was a white fog that connected the sky and the earth in the distance. It was as if the world was divided into two halves. It was spreading and rolling, and it was quickly approaching here.
"That fog is coming!"
The border guards keenly sensed the curse power in the fog and sounded the alarm. The curse signal flare rose into the sky and emitted a bright light and loud sound. In the colorful light, people looked up at the sky faintly saw a blurry giant face flashing in the fog and hiding in the depths. This strange scene caused the guards to scream and caused further chaos.
Under the alarm, the entire town began to wake up rapidly. More and more soldiers rushed out of their houses amidst the ear-piercing noises. Members of the knight order began to gather with weapons in their hands. Mayor Carmen, who was fully armed, led the soldiers to the top of the city wall.
The [Six Disasters] was a disaster that had wiped out many ancient civilizations. The number of people and the quality of their equipment had no effect on them. Even a Level 1 source-level master who was comparable to a god could not escape from their hands. It was because of this that they were terrifying.
As monsters who were enemies of humans, the mutants naturally wouldn't understand the special situation today. There was only one possibility for them not to come. On the other hand, the nearby creatures also reacted.
The ground was gradually being devoured, and the sky was no longer visible. Looking at the strange silver mist that was slowly advancing towards the town, everyone was filled with fear of the unknown. While breathing heavily, Carmen gave the order to attack. However, no matter if it was arrows or spells, none of them had any effect on the mist.
"That person is …"
"… Step back."
At this moment, the youth's figure was reflected in everyone's eyes. The archers put down their arrows, and the cursemancers also stopped their curses. Standing on the city wall full of soldiers, no one dared to make a noise, because everyone felt that when Luo Ya appeared, something changed.
Everyone who was watching the young man held their breaths and observed the changes in front of them. They did not dare to speak, and in this silence, two colors of ice blue and dim yellow appeared on the young man's body. The sound of water vapor freezing and the sound of sand colliding was heard out of nowhere. He stepped forward, and his golden eyes burned like candlelight. He raised his head in front of the army and stared at the void.
Time passed bit by bit, Luo Ya's curse was like a lamp burning brighter and brighter. The hazy figure of a beast formed by the frozen air began to faintly appear. An illusory figure also flashed behind the youth along with the angry roar of the wind. Under the influence of the power of the frozen earth, his expression was as calm and indifferent as if frozen in time. However, the light in his eyes told the monsters in the distance that he would never retreat.
"Retreat, retreat?"
"Xi Ya above! Long live Lord Luo Ya! "
At the highest point, the black-haired youth who was listening to the cheers of thousands of people slowly retracted his breath. The frozen earth maker and the wind summoner disappeared, and the two colors of light gradually extinguished. However, in the golden eyes, endless worry filled Luo Ya's eyes.
[Collector], this was the only person who could not show his true face in front of him in the headquarters of the Appraisal Association. He was also the nominal leader of a large-scale organization hidden in the country under the control of the Church.
Just like now.
Beside the candlelight at the end of the table, the [Collector]'s voice entered the ears of the man with a cold face. It seemed to come from afar, and at the same time, it was telling a terrifying truth.
"… This is different from what you said a few years ago."
In the darkness, the man's magnetic voice echoed in the space. It sounded like he was explaining and sighing at the same time.
"Then, why do I believe that I can succeed this time?"
Facing the cold face of the man at the end of the table, the [Collector] raised his hands as if he was presenting the world in front of the man.
"In this era, the rhythm of fate has been disrupted. Although the existence of the Akat family is special, they are far from invincible. Furthermore, this is your last chance. After all, the remnants of the three races alliance have been stimulated by him, and they are about to break out of their cocoons and become butterflies."
The words of the man in the darkness made Brian's expressionless face even more gloomy and cold. However, he had to admit that he had hit his weak spot. With the current situation in St. Mestre, if Princess Nuo Aier broke through again, the nobles who were watching from the sidelines would completely lean towards the alliance between Heath Crete and Akat. Brian's long-term plan would also be ruined.
The man softly called out Brian's past name and spoke of his future prediction and advice. However, these words made the cold face of the man squint his eyes. Brian looked at the end of the table and asked calmly.
The man's question was abrupt and went straight to the point. The [Collector] paused for a moment, but soon after, he laughed.
"Perhaps that is the case, but … isn't your understanding of that race too deep?"
"… You don't trust me?"
"… It's simple. It's because I have some connections with them."
"Yes, it was a long time ago …"
"I see, so that's how it is."
"Then, I have no more questions. This is your last chance, and I accept it."
The cold man turned around and left. Looking at Brian's departing figure, the [Collector] didn't say anything else. It was only after the man's figure had completely disappeared that he muttered to himself again.
In the silent room, the man looked at the untouched teacup in front of him and sighed. Then, he turned around and looked at the relief sculpture that he had obtained not long ago.
"Then this time, what are you going to do?"
From the tranquility of daily life to the sudden shock of facing the unknown, and finally surviving the crisis, the twists and turns of life made many people exhausted, but it also made many people see the current situation clearly.
After the fog receded, Carmen and the other high-ranking officers on the city wall gathered together. In the middle of the crowd, the black-haired young man closed his eyes and calmed his breath.
This was not a historical fragment, but the real world. In the face of the real ancient disaster, Luo Ya's ability could protect himself, but he couldn't protect everyone. A single [Six Disasters] aura could not make the enemy retreat. Only by summoning the Wind Summoner together with the aura of the frozen earth could it truly deter it.
The young man had the [Crown] source substance and the Crown Stone, but in the fortress, there was no Awakened from the Akat family who could shelter him from the wind and rain. So, what would happen to them when they were attacked by the [Six Disasters]? Could they withstand it?
In the end, why would that thing be here? Was it the Saint Heroes Society? No, they should only be able to control the [Egg]. The almost complete [Six Disasters] was not something that humans could control. In other words … Mother Goddess?
"Knights, follow me to support Tucker Fortress. The rest of you stay behind and immediately report the situation to the Holy Capital."
After the fog receded, the road was silent. Only the cold night wind whistled. The cavalry was extremely silent along the way, and the soldiers looked dignified. Luo Ya didn't give any more orders. Everyone was fully alert, paying attention to everything in the sky and on the ground.
"Why, is there light?"
Wait, light?
The young man's brain seemed to be frozen, and the reason was very simple.
The sun rose in the east, but Tucker Fortress was also in the east.
