Chapter 130: Ice Yeti
Chapter 130: Ice Yeti
"Brother!" Li Xin cried out in panic upon hearing his sound transmission, but he was already gone, leaving his clone here.
(Sister Li, keep calm; brother Li is inside the city, and he is safe,) Lily assured her after watching her panic.
Hearing this, Li Xin relaxed a little, but she was still worried about why he hid inside the city.
'Just what's going on,' she thought with a frown, not knowing why he behaved like that.
...
Just as she was puzzled, the dark mages finally finished casting the spatial manipulation skill and formed a temporary spatial gate with another place.
"Hey, it's getting colder and colder. Is it because of that gate?"
"Yes, it must be. Let's hope the city lord will take action now, or we won't be able to handle it any longer."
The adventurers conversed about the situation while continuing to fight with monsters, hoping the city lord would take action.
...
Just as they were thinking, another scene unfolded on the Valeria Terrace.
"Bernard!! Where the fuck did you run off! Come back now!!" The priest Alfred shouted in anger while continuing to help the frontline with his skill alone.
As for the city lord Bernard, he had disappeared a while ago and didn't know where he went.
"What a useless guy! At an important moment he disappeared!" Alfred muttered with irritation when a voice rang behind him.
"Alfred, stop talking bad behind my back," Bernard, the old man, said, arriving abruptly.
However, it only pissed off Alfred more.
"The hell are you talking about? The enemy already finished casting the group skill. Do you want to save the city or not?" he asked with a loud tone, anger visible in his eyes.
Hearing this the city lord Bernard became silent and sighed.
"It's no use, Alfred. There is one more monster stampede happening in the south, and in an hour, it will reach the city."
"Because of this, Duke Barrett ordered me to make preparations to evacuate everyone, also to save my MP so I can help others in an emergency," he explained, making Alfred shocked about the situation.
"Another monster stampede!! It's not a joke, right? Also, do we really have to abandon the city?" Alfred inquired with an unwilling face.
"Don't worry, Alfred. Even if the city is destroyed, it can be rebuilt in a week with the current technology. Also, there are still high-level adventurers on earth; just hope they might come and take care of the monster stampede in the south," Bernard replied, not giving up hope.
"Yes, you are right. There is still hope," Alfred nodded, agreeing with him, but he knew the hopes were too slim, and they have to prepare for the worst case.
...
As they both were busy thinking about how to handle the situation, in a certain house, the woman with a lot of background suddenly looked in the direction of the south.
"Why the hell is one more stampede happening here? I was about to sleep!" she pouted cutely with irritation.
"Madam, what should we do then?" her subordinate asked.
"What can we do? Just wait for the notice of the city lord; he will probably evacuate everyone after finding out about this," the leader woman replied as she wore her clothes with sigh.
"Ahh, it's so hot inside the clothes; I wonder how humans are able to wear them for the whole life," she muttered, pouting and complaining again, when.
*Gwwaaaaaa!!*
A loud thundering roar echoed throughout the whole battlefield and city, making everyone stunned.
However, the leader woman didn't even flinch after hearing it.
"A roar of Ice Yeti, hehe, it's been a while since I have eaten one," she chuckled, thinking about the ways to capture it while her two subordinates showed ugly expressions, knowing a lot work was going to fall on them.
...
As they were busy in their thoughts, a scene unfolded at the massive crack of space where a giant ice blue yeti came out with the size of a five-story building.
"Everyone be careful; it's a D class, Grade-3, Level-80 Ice Yeti. If the situation gets worse, just retreat," Lyla reminded her companions as she fought with a troll that was badly injured but still putting up a fight.
Other trolls were also injured, but it was still hard to fight them with a few numbers as their levels weren't the same as Irene.
...
"Hahaha, Priestess, give up now; you won't be able to do anything. Also, let me give you a twist; there is one more monster stampede happening in the south, and it will reach the city in an hour," the Lord of Pride laughed loudly, watching the situation and looked back at Yeti.
"Ice Yeti, go kill everyone in her legion first," he commanded the Ice Yeti.
However, the Yeti didn't seem to hear him and focused its gaze on the city.
"Roarr!!" the Yeti roared with a hint of excitement.
"MANA. MANA. MANA!" the Yeti shouted loudly, pounding the ground with his fists, almost killing the dark faction people under him.
"You lowly thing, listen to me!!" Pride shouted in anger, watching the Yeti not listening to him, when suddenly he felt a chill in his lower area and saw a shiny metallic boots coming with a strong kick.
"Nooo– Ahhh," he shouted in pain as Irene sent him flying with a vicious kick, taking advantage of his distraction.
She then looked at Ice Yeti with a frown.
"Why is this Ice Yeti is looking towards the city," she muttered and looked back.
'Hmm, why is Abyss Leader is inside the city and not fighting at frontlines?' she thought, frowning harder.
With her spirit eye, she could see the spirits near Li Wei were all inside the city. It means he too was inside, as his clone didn't attract a large amount of spirits like him.
Just as she was puzzled about him, the Ice Yeti shouted with excitement again and sprinted towards the city without a care.
"Be careful! The Ice Yeti is heading towards the city," she warned everyone and turned towards Pride, who came again with full recovery.
"You are pissing me off," she snorted and attacked, but this time she was more heavy-handed.
...
"Everyone initiate retreat!" Karina commanded, watching the Ice Yeti coming towards the city.
"Hero Bai Feng, follow us; we will help you escort inside the city," Zek suggested, not wasting this chance.
However, Bai Feng shook his head.
"No, I am a hero; how could I escape before anyone? And the monster must be coming for me, so you all retreat. I will distract the monster first," he replied with a resolute tone.
However, he was just pretending; when he got the scroll, he wanted to use it immediately, but it will leave a bad impression on others, so he continued fighting with monsters unless someone asked him to retreat.
Of course, before going, he had to at least put on a good show, so he did his best, and it worked.
"Hero Bai Feng, you don't need to worry about us; I will escort you inside the city. But if things get out of hand; you can use the scroll," Zek replied as he repelled the attack of a dark faction member.
"Yes, Hero Bai Feng, I would like you to retreat first, and we don't have time, be fast," Karina instructed after watching the Yeti getting closer and closer.
"Hero Bai Feng, please go on ahead; we will follow you later. However just to be safe please use teleportation scroll," the two knights replied simultaneously, agreeing with him escaping first.
"Okay, if you say so," Bai Feng nodded and took out the teleportation scroll with a unwilling expression.
"You all, I will be going first; take care," he said to his party as this teleportation scroll was only for one person.
However, before going, he looked at Li Wei and his party with cold eyes.
'Just wait; you wouldn't be able to live much longer,' he thought and without hesitation tore the teleportation scroll, disappearing from the place.
Zek wanted to stop him, but he didn't have any time, more so he just received a voice transmission from Daniel saying to let the hero go.
He was angry and puzzled because he still believed it was the hero who killed the evil wolf.
"Everyone retreat!" The dark faction leaders gave orders and also started to retreat.
But none of the adventurers tried to stop them as the monster stampede was still going on.
The high-level adventurers didn't hesitate anymore and directly took over the frontlines while asking everyone else to retreat inside the city.
The same was for Li Wei and his party; they also retreated back to the city.
(Brother, is that monster after you?) Li Xin asked his clone, but she knew he could hear it and would answer her.
(Yes, that Ice Yeti is after me. It's a good thing that I was able to sense his skill; if not people will find about me and I will be the next target of the dark factions,) Li Wei replied through his clone with a sigh.
(Then are you going to fight with the Yeti?) Li Xin inquired again with a worried tone.
(XinXin, don't worry too much; if I wanted to escape, the Yeti wouldn't be able to stop me. Also, I am waiting for the city lord to take action; if he can't deal with it, I will have no choice but to kill it,) Li Wei replied calmly as he already made the necessary preparation.
(Then be careful, brother. I will be waiting for you,) Li Xin replied with a worried look but didn't stop him.
...
Just as they were chatting; on the Valeria Terrace the city lord Bernard looked at the Ice Yeti with a serious expression.
"Bernard, don't hesitate anymore; if the time comes, I will use that," Alfred reminded him.
"Okay, dumb priest; I will count on you then," Bernard nodded and took a deep breath before taking out a small diamond token with the words "Valeria City" inlaid in it with a bright red color.
