"Another sacrifice."
Lisandra gently stroked the ice crystal in front of her and watched everything that happened in the snow from a distance. She pursed her lips slightly. Even though she had ordered her men to carry out certain death missions countless times, she went from being indifferent to being used to it. Every time she was slightly touched, it had been a long time.
Although she would still let her warriors die, it didn't stop her from remembering the moment of their sacrifice because these people sacrificed themselves to prevent the destruction of this world. Even though they would soon be forgotten by mortals, she wouldn't forget because she was like this Freldrod that would never melt and would exist in this world forever.
She gently combed her white hair and the gorgeous clothes that she hadn't worn for a long time. In the past, in order to show her majesty and strength, she would usually wrap her body in dark ice. But now that the Frost Watchers could break the seal at any time, she suddenly wanted to wear her clothes from a long time ago: a white dress with purple fabric as a foil, and a white crown that looked like antlers. If it weren't for her temperament and the threatening cold air that still existed on her body, and the fact that she was still manipulating ice when she moved, many people would mistake her for a princess.
But she just didn't want to face her biggest enemy with a perfunctory attitude. She once thought that she had found a way to let her sisters rule the world, conquer the arrogant gods, and make their tribe immortal. But the people who promised her strength only wanted to destroy the world.
"Naive, rebellious, and blind … and looking forward to recognition."
Gently lifting her hand that was partially wrapped in the dress, Lisandra's expression was a little complicated because these characteristics used to belong to her. Back then, in order to gain the recognition of her sisters and enough strength to convince them, she was too blind and summoned the existence that shouldn't be summoned to this world. And then?
She destroyed everything that she cherished.
"How despicable."
Slowly moving towards the place where a Frost Watcher was sealed, Lisandra used her perception to 'see' the powerful Ice People running and roaring in this hall that was usually patrolled by only a few people. They fought with the monsters that broke the seal and came to this world. Lisandra felt ridiculous and sad at the same time.
"If they know that our arrival and their sacrifice are all because of your betrayal, do you think you can still command them? After all, it's your fault that caused this disaster, and you once again betrayed your sisters and allies and killed them all. You're really a qualified traitor. "
As soon as she stepped into the hall, a whisper sounded in her ears. She knew that the other party was telling the truth. Back then, she betrayed her sisters to summon the Frost Watchers, and betrayed the Frost Watchers to fight against these creatures with her sisters. In the end, she once again betrayed her sisters and most of the people at that time. She sacrificed them with a forbidden curse to seal the Frost Watchers. All these years, she collected the Ice People in order to betray them again when necessary. She used the lives and magic of these Ice People who admired and admired her to make some insignificant resistance against those monsters.
Therefore, the title of 'traitor' was really too appropriate.
"After all, I was once called the Witch. Isn't it common knowledge that the Witch would betray?"
Because she didn't need to maintain her dignity, Lisandra's voice was no longer as harsh as the winter. Instead, it was filled with relief and tiredness.
"But at least I'm not a monster."
She slowly walked toward the huge eye that could move under the ice layer. Her senses allowed her to clearly sense that the eye was staring at her, and the voice that transmitted from it sounded like it was mocking her. The eye socket and other limbs of the Ice People gradually became clearer in Lisandra's senses as the seal gradually lost its effect. In a daze, Lisandra returned to countless years ago.
"Aren't you a monster? Aren't you constantly pushing your compatriots into the abyss of trickery because you're afraid that one day, someone will really unify this place, then expose your true colors and push you down from your throne? "
In order to prevent the powerful Ice People from unifying so that they could be used to seal the monsters, Lisandra had indeed done so. But it was undeniable that she was indeed afraid that someone would mention those things of the past and expose her true colors.
"No, I'm not a monster."
Lisandra walked to the ice layer and slowly knelt down, just like how she used to look at the Gods and conquer them. She turned her face to the monsters under the ice. But after she looked down on the Gods, her vision was taken away. Facing these monsters, she didn't know whether her soul would still belong to her after this ritual, and whether she would continue to exist.
"Because I won't destroy this world."
She put her body as close to the ice as possible, and continuously infused her power into the ice layer below, causing the originally transparent ice layer to slowly form some mist, and the limbs that were starting to become clearer were once again hidden under the ice.
"Who do you think stole the power that shouldn't belong to her and awakened us again?"
The Ice Watcher's mocking voice became even more obvious.
"You stole the power of that person called Li Ke for the sake of power, and you succeeded in doing so. Just like how you begged us for power back then. But every time you obtained power, you would cause a disaster that you couldn't stop. Ah, your fate is really sad, isn't it? "
The more intelligent and humane they appeared to be, the more accustomed they were to this world, the more power they could use in this world, and the higher the possibility of the seal breaking. Lisandra knew this very well, and had done countless efforts to slow down this process.
But the funny thing was, she discovered Li Ke's power and secretly stole a part of it, intending to cultivate countless existences with the power of the Ice People. But she quickly realized that she had done something stupid, the most terrifying stupid thing. Because of the trace of power she stole, her soul was dyed with Li Ke's color, and her power was greatly increased. If it weren't for the fact that she still had a mission to fulfill, this would have been a great thing.
She needed her soul and will to feed these sleeping Ice Watchers so that they wouldn't wake up.
During this process, her soul would come into contact with the souls of these Ice Watchers, and their souls would hungrily read and devour her soul and will. Every time it happened, it was like being cut into pieces, and every time it happened, she didn't know if she would be able to return. But only by doing this could she appease these monsters that shouldn't have woken up, and prevent them from breaking the seal.
And when the trace of power she stole from Li Ke came into contact with these monsters through her soul, this insignificant power granted these monsters a strange power, causing their bodies to rapidly change and adapt to this world. Moreover, they were constantly undergoing a transformation that made Lisandra want to cry.
She didn't know what it was, but as long as she recalled the feeling of transformation, she would have the urge to cry and praise. This made her immediately shatter her soul and expel Li Ke's power from her soul. But when she disregarded her weak soul and once again activated the Frozen Dream ritual to appease these monsters, she realized that she couldn't make them sleep for a few more years. She could only force them to sleep for a few months, and they would wake up again.
"I know, that's why I've been staying here."
Pressing her cheek against the ice, this traitorous witch entered her ritual. In the next moment, the constantly moving eyeball also lost its divine light, and even the voice in Lisandra's mind began to slow down.
"How long can you … stop us … your soul … can you still hold on …"
The Frost Watcher, who was about to fully awaken, fell into a deep slumber once again, and Lisandro, who was on the ice, also fell into darkness. The moment she became a sacrifice, a question that she had thought about countless times appeared in her mind once again.
This time.
Can I still come back?
