Brando's first reaction was to run to both sides of the valley, but his body had already reached its limit. Every step he took, he felt as if his whole body was falling apart. His speed was less than one-tenth of his usual speed. His indomitable talent only allowed him to prolong his life, but he was far from being able to escape the avalanche that was dozens of miles wide.
The earth roared and trembled under his feet, making it impossible for him to stand still. Soon, the roar of the avalanche was behind him. Brando glanced back and saw that the ice wall in the distance, which looked like a line of snow, had turned into a glacier waterfall nearly 100 meters high.
The waterfall swallowed everything in its path, mixed with countless sharp rocks. If a person was sucked into the waterfall, their fate would not be much better than being sucked into a meat grinder. But when Brando looked back again, he saw that he was at least a few miles away from the nearest high ground on both sides of the valley. His heart suddenly sank.
"Am I going to die here?"
He did not expect that he would not die in the hands of Madara's skeletons, not in the hands of Erouine's rebels, and not in the hands of the Silver Queen, but in a trial.
This was the road that the man had walked — the trial of the mountains.
The Azure Knight issued a challenge to the mountains. The biting cold wind tore at his face, but he was resolute and unyielding. It was as if nothing could stop him. In the end, he conquered everything and gained the recognition of the mountains.
That was a story in myths, a hero in legends.
Brando could not help but shake his head helplessly. He was still too far away from the legendary level. It was not that he did not want to, but he could not. The difference in strength was too great.
He took a few deep breaths.
He could almost feel the chill of the ice chips on his back. Although it was strange, he should not be able to feel the concept of temperature in his undead state. This thought flashed through his mind. Then, he grabbed his cloak and tore it off with force. Then, he threw it away casually.
Throwing away the cloak, Brando used all his strength to speed up a few steps and suddenly jumped forward. In front of him was a black rock protruding out of the snow. He rolled and crawled in the snow and firmly grasped the rock.
Brando did not intend to give up until the very last moment.
Although the chances were slim …
The next moment, he felt a heavy blow on his back.
Even though he had a Silver Body, the immense pressure still made it difficult for him to even breathe. With a muffled groan, his vision turned dark, and he almost fainted.
Fortunately, his Unyielding Talent was strong enough to allow him to maintain a trace of clarity in such a situation.
Brando could only close his eyes tightly, as if he was in the middle of a stormy sea. His hands tightly gripped the rock, refusing to let the moving glacier take him away. This was because he knew that once he let go, there would be no chance of survival.
After several enhancements, the duration of Unyielding Innate Skill was still several times longer than its initial state. However, it was still not too long. If he was buried under a layer of ice that was hundreds of meters deep, he would definitely not be able to save himself before the duration ended.
He gritted his teeth and allowed the violent energy to pass by him, but he didn't waver in the slightest. Because he was so focused, he did not even notice that his fingers were inserted into the rock.
The loose front part of the icefall was quickly washed away, and the dense back part made up of rocks and broken glaciers followed. After Brando passed the initial period of relaxation, he immediately encountered new trouble.
The rocks mixed in the broken ice layer did not care whether he was the King of the Earth or not, and he was not. A few rocks the size of a table suddenly hit his back. Normally, such an attack would be like a tickle to a Silver Body, but here, Brando heard a series of crisp sounds coming from his back, and then a sharp pain swept over him.
He immediately understood that it was the sound of his ribs breaking, but before he could let out a scream, a huge force pressed him down on the rock like an ant. Brando did not have any room to resist, and the air was quickly squeezed out of his lungs. If it was not for the fact that he did not need to breathe under the Unyielding Talent, this would have been enough to take away half of his life.
But it was this blow that gave him the hope of survival. Brando quickly realized that the most difficult moment was over. Physical damage was not enough to make the Unyielding Talent ineffective. No matter how much damage he suffered, he could use the Angel's Heart Bottle to recover after this wave of glaciers passed.
As mentioned before, although this trial had changed his equipment and status, his backpack and items had not changed. The Thunder God's Belt, the Horn of Commendation, and even the Floating Sphere that Miss Tata had given him were all considered equipment. However, the Angel's Heart Bottle was a genuine item that could be used. It was currently lying safely in his backpack.
In fact, if it was not for the fact that the Angel's Heart Bottle could not restore his stamina, he would not have to go through so much trouble.
Although he did not feel that the speed of the glacier had decreased, the duration of the Unyielding Talent was still very long. The speed of the avalanche was too fast, and it would pass by here soon.
But what Brando did not expect was that just when he thought that he had escaped disaster, the rock he was leaning against suddenly shook slightly, and then tilted in the direction of the glacier.
Brando's heart thumped, and he suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley. He had thought of everything, but he did not expect that the rock he was relying on would be the first to give way.
If it was taken away by the glacier, everything would be over.
Of course, he could not allow such a thing to happen. He immediately tried his best to mobilize his Power of Law. He knew that at this time, only the Law of Space could save him, but what made him despair was that just like before, the Elements of Space and Time seemed to be frozen by the cold of this world, and there was no response to his call at all.
After half a year of trekking in this extreme world, he had already exhausted his last trace of stamina and Element Power.
But Brando still had a way.
"Give up the Profession Level."
"Give up the Elementalist Profession Level!"
He ordered decisively. On his System Panel, the Elementalist Profession Level quickly disappeared, and almost instantly, it disappeared from his Profession List. Giving up the Profession Level to gain experience, and then using the experience to convert Order Points, because this conversion was irreversible, almost no one in the game would do this.
But Brando did not have a choice.
Even if he knew that the Profession Level he converted would still be counted on him, and the penalty for his part-time job could never be canceled or reduced in any way.
But at this moment, he had no choice but to do this.
The Elementalist Profession Level was burned, but the Order Points obtained were still not enough for him to mobilize the Law of Space. Brando made up his mind and cut five levels from the Templar Knight. The Templar Knight profession that had been raised to Level 50 with great difficulty suddenly fell back to Level 45.
But this time, he finally obtained enough power. The silver Lines of Law once again lit up around his body. It was a pity that he could not obtain the Order Points from this world, otherwise, he would not need to use his Element Power at all since he had already perfected his body.
Brando cursed this damned trial in his heart, and at the same time, he mobilized his Law of Space to stabilize the rock. His Law of Space recovered very quickly with the help of Order Points, and soon it extended to the root of the rock.
At this moment, Brando thought that he could almost see hope.
But unfortunately, things did not go as he wished. At the last moment when he covered the rock with the Law of Space, the glacier wrapped in a huge rock hit him from behind.
Brando did not have time to react, and his vision turned black. The Lines of Law that had been stabilized with great difficulty suddenly collapsed. "No!" He screamed, and felt the whole world spinning. The rock in his hand had already loosened, and then it rolled forward with him.
Brando's last thought was that he saw the rock that was the size of a mountain behind him crushing him.
… …
In the hills of Anzeruta, Haruz was staring dumbfounded at the necklace floating from Medusa's chest. It was a beautiful necklace, made of metal that looked like stars. It shone like a meteor flashing in the night sky.
If he remembered correctly, that material should be the mithril that Master Tamar and his teacher had taught him, a rare and expensive metal.
But what was really eye-catching about this necklace was not its chain made of mithril, but the pendant. The pendant that emitted a black light was leading the whole necklace to float in the air.
"Miss Lysmeka, what is this?" Haruz could not help but ask, "What were you talking about?"
But no one answered his question.
Lysmeka and Kaya both stared at the pendant in the air with serious expressions. The latter was still looking at the former, and the former had a struggling look on her face. She finally reached out and tried to grab the pendant.
But unexpectedly, Kaya grabbed Lysmeka's hand.
The Dark Elf girl shook her head firmly at her.
"The kingdom will fall, the earth will bear the suffering, the living will suffer in this fire, and there will be no light for eternity –" she said to Lysmeka in the Underground language.
"No," Lysmeka shook her head. "This is our treasure. That prophecy can't be true. We can't believe in these illusory things. Kaya, you understand its value. Only by giving it to someone who really understands its value can we get what we want. Don't you want to go back?"
But Kaya was indifferent. She stared into Lysmeka's eyes and said, "I am Jokesha's priestess, and I know that the prophecy must be true. Look, Lysmeka, the glory of the ancient kings has penetrated the clouds and shone on the earth. A voice is calling the king, but the world turns a blind eye to it."
