Chapter 787 Frozen Dimension
"Now, let's see if you still follow your damn rules." muttered King Leon as the whole area trembled.
As a King, Leon Heart also knew the importance of rules and law. He even emphasizes rules and regulations most of the time. However, he also knows and is closely familiar with the unwritten law in the world.
'Never provoke someone more powerful than you.' There are many reasons why this rule is followed by many people. One of the biggest reasons is the strong ones could annihilate the weaker before they could do anything.
Even if someone could protect them, they would be passive and live in fear. It also often implicates others and complicates things, like in Angus' current situation. Therefore, if the people are not strong enough, they should never provoke others.
This is also one of King Leon's reasons to keep their aristocratic system. The aristocratic system may seem ruthless, unfair, and prevent national development. However, it also makes all the residents in the kingdom become more humble and less provoking powerful people.
As for the noble family, they will also learn not to provoke any powerful people when they get in touch with the cruelty of the aristocratic circle.
With this system, King Leon only needed to pay attention to the high noble family, which could be easily done rather than need to take care of the whole big nation.
After ensuring Extalia comfortably sleeps in his arms, King Leon disappears from the spot and moves to a more secluded space. As much as he wants to break into Frostfall City, he still needs to take care of his exhausted woman first.
As for Angus, he could somewhat guess his whereabouts, especially when the report about his carriage was full of magic tools and two female dwarves went with the shadow.
Although King Leon doesn't know what kind of method Angus uses to teleport through the shadow, he knows it is one of Angus' capabilities used to return from the Undermine Council and travel far away.
King Leon didn't worry about Angus' group and preferred they create more havoc to force these guardian forces to come out. Although he didn't expect the situation to go in this direction, he was still satisfied with Angus' action.
Unlike others, King Leon knows exactly how strong Angus is, especially from the last secret report he got from him about the Undermine Council. It is not wrong to say Angus has already reached the pseudo-seventh-grade level.
Basically, the only one that poses a threat to him is only seventh-grade people. In this case, only the ex-Archduke Dipo could stop Angus. Even then, he may not be able to catch Angus with all his escaping ability.
Meanwhile, Angus and the others again get hit by another harsh snowstorm. They begin getting irritated by the extreme cold weather. None of them enjoy the cold weather, much less the heavy snowstorm.
Even the naughty Anna will snuggle into Jayna's arm and rarely move around during the snowstorm. Fortunately, they have the giant Salamander that Anna called Cupid. It is a weird name, but everyone is already used to Anna's odd naming sense.
With the help of Cupid, they could go through the snowstorm without trouble. A moment later, Angus' group noticed the lesser tundra trees in the area. Then, they see a massive clearing covered with white snow. Everything is covered in white color as far as the eye can see.
"Master, this place…" said Brigida in surprise as her magic eyes noticed the strangeness.
"Yeah, this is another dimension. It seems the previous snowstorm is the transition between this dimension and the real world." said Angus.
"Another dimension? This is crazy?!!" exclaimed Kusibella and Bornja.
As the dwarf race, they know the importance of having their own pocket dimension. If the dimension development is good enough, someone could become a God in that dimension.
However, they also know that maintaining and developing a sophisticated dimension is arduous and needs an enormous space-based resource. The dimension entrance must also be continuously stabilized, especially as big as the previous snowy forest.
There is no way the Heart Kingdom will supply such a massive 08:03
expenditure since even Angus, the high noble, knows nothing about They doubt even the whole Heart Kingdom's rich resources could supply such a heavy operation. Now, they wonder how Frostfall County could maintain such a dimension portal.
There is no way the Heart Kingdom will supply such a massive expenditure since even Angus, the high noble, knows nothing about this place.
Angus actually already has some of the answers after confirming it with Draven. However, this also intrigues him about what is hidden inside this place.
Unlike Nirvas or Endless Battlefield, this dimension is a pocket space created by a massive-scale natural phenomenon. Since the fire elemental in the surroundings is continuously absorbed, the surrounding temperature tends to lower.
This also generates more water and ice elemental in nature. After an unknown period, the ice elemental prevails against the basic water elemental and generates more ice elemental.
The ice elemental in this place becomes so strong that it leads to another natural phenomenon, which freezes the whole space. Then, it formed an independent pocket space.
If Angus didn't get the explanation from Draven, he may also not believe such an absurd natural phenomenon. He couldn't imagine how dense the ice element could freeze the whole space.
Angus is not sure if this is intentional or just a natural occurrence. However, he knows this movement should rival any large-scale Ancient or even Forbidden Magic.
The frozen space is also a bad situation for Angus and Jayna. With the thick ice elemental in nature and frozen space, they couldn't casually use any kind of flame teleportation skill.
They at least need to generate a large amount of heat or even set blaze the surroundings before being able to use fire-related teleportation skills.
As a result, Angus and Jayna have one less escaping skill. Still, they didn't fear this situation as they never depended on one or two skills. Under Angus' guidance, Jayna also has various methods of dodging and escaping skills.
Moreover, they also still have the trump card of Draven, the legendary space beast. Mundus' ability to travel through shadow and space is top-notch.
Whether the space is frozen or fluctuating, they could easily travel around. If given enough time, they could even perform long-distance travel.
Coming out from the snowy forest, Angus decided not to travel directly since anyone could easily notice them in this vast snowy plain. He planned to cast camouflage spells on everyone and Cupid while observing the surroundings.
Upon his observation through his sharp eyes and [Great Mana Echolocation], Angus was quite surprised since many people were scattered in this snowy plains, even the non-combatant ones.
Though most of them are guarded by the guardians. From more observation, Angus finds the civilians seem to hire the guardians to protect them from the emerging red-veined monster.
According to his investigation, the monster seems to be called Gram, an anomaly monster that spawned in this snowy land. During the end of the year, there will be more Gram spawned as the land is colder than usual.
"He…. This is interesting…." said Angus with a grinning.
"Angus, what is it?" asked Jayna curiously.
She knows her beloved man will have this grin when he plans something vicious.
Before Angus could relay his thought to Jayna, "Brat, don't just tell your woman. You need to explain to us too." said Bornja with a complaint.
"Ahh… Hahaha… Sorry, I forgot about that. Jayna's connection with me makes me never have the need to explain more. Anyway, this land will plunge into a war." said Angus.
"A war?!" asked Kusibella.
"Is it because of what you did before?" asked Bornja.
"Nahh… Although our previous incident could tense the relationship between Frostfall County and the kingdom, it is far from starting another civil war. Besides, King Leon and Duchess Amberblaze already know the cruelty of civil war long ago."
"I doubt they will start another one just from this incident. The war is between the Guardian and these Gram monsters. Gram is what these red-veined frosted monsters are. Apparently, Gram will be spawned in large numbers during the end of the year." explained Angus.
"I see…. So, what are you planning? You don't plan to sabotage them, right?" asked Bornja.
"Nah… Whether they survive or not in this battle is not my business. However, I found intriguing information during my scanning." said Angus.
"What is it?" asked Kusibella.
"The location of their war seems to be where the fire elemental goes. It is called the Everwhite Basin. I plan to gather information about the place before setting up our forge there." said Angus.
"Wait.. Wait… You don't plan to forge in the middle of the battlefield, right?" asked Bornja.
"Well, the closer we get to the source, the better. You may not notice this, but this dimension is quite unique. The whole space is frozen by the denseness of the ice elemental in nature."
If we set up our forge in this place, there is a huge chance the excess heat will disrupt the balance of the space. You could imagine what will happen next." said Angus.
"Dimension collapse?!!" replied Bornja and Kusibella at the same time.
