Chapter 876 The Island's History



Chapter 876 The Island’s History

—–

The Frost Island emerged by the frozen sea surrounding the Frost Tower. It was said that the Frost Queen, the Venerable of Ice, had thought that the small surrounding ice looked lonely, so she ended planting special plants and putting ancient creatures roaming its surroundings. Over time, this island grew larger, tens of times bigger than before. And with that, the flora and fauna continued to develop and spread out, even evolving, and generating completely new species from the mainland. Thousands of years have been since then and the island was now very big and overflowing with life even if everything seemed frozen and still at first sight.

However, another of the shocking sights was the gigantic Frost Tower, of course. So big and majestic that I couldn’t help but remain in silence while admiring its tall beauty, it was as if a goddess had incarnated herself into a pillar that reached the heavens. The Frost Tower was truly something beautiful and an incredible legacy left behind by this world’s most benevolent and dedicated Venerables this world could had ever had… Well, not completely, she still hated Vampires too much. I mean, its fine to bat the evil guys behind everything, but hating on the entire race and making them go near extinct? There was innocent people mixed there… Ah well, no point thinking about it when I won’t get any answers.

Nonetheless, we continued our journey across the island, it was beautiful and almost like a fairy tale landscape. The Frost Tower, the beautiful pillar that reached the heavens, emanated a bright light that enveloped the Frost Island. Since the moment I stepped into the place, I felt a strange and even stronger attraction. The divinity was strong as well, I was resisting the temptation of trying to absorb it, as it might be better to enter the inheritance while having good terms with the Venerable of Ice. Perhaps for the evil Venerables it wont be hard to take that decision, but for someone that has a chance to become an ally, I should be respectful if possible… if possible.

As we explored the landscape, Charlotte began to talk about the island.

”It is said that the Frost Island was decorated as a small garden by the Frost Queen long ago.” Said Charlotte. “This is also one of the reasons why its flora and fauna is very unique compared to the mainland. It is thought that many ancient species of monsters and plants still live in here while having already gone extinct in the continent.” Charlotte said. We walked over the snow, suddenly coming into contact with an expansive and beautiful field completely covered by light blue herbs of all types, and beautiful crystalline flowers that resembled snowflakes.

”Uwah! I have never seen flowers like these before…” Benladann said.

”They’re beautiful, yeah…” Miranda added.

”This island is filled with beautiful sights, I never expected it from a place so neglected by everybody…” Rakasha said while wandering around.

”There’s a certain charming mystery to the whole island, yeah.” Tisha added while breathing the clean air, which also had the saltiness of the sea.

”Hmm, Spiritual Energy is very rich here, and more is coming from the big tower.” Pekora pointed out while her spirits floated around her body.

I quickly went to pick up two of those beautiful flowers and decided to gift them to Benladann and Miranda. It was something silly, but I really wanted to see them wearing these snowflake-shaped flowers over their heads. And just as I imagined, they looked beautiful.

”Hehe, you silly… We are not kids or something…” Benladann giggled, despite trying to act like an adult, she couldn’t help but feel flustered.

”W-Why was I included?” Miranda wondered while blushing a bit.

”Well you’re also quite pretty, I was sure you would look adorable with a flower.” I replied.

”Uuugh… You’re charms won’t work so easily on me, Casanova…” Miranda said while feeling more flustered than before. This is the first time she just called me “Casanova” though…

”Hahaha! Did she really called you Casanova?” Laughed Benladann.

”That was weird, yeah.” I sighed.

As we walked across the Frost Island, we saw several forests, these forests were not made out of pine trees, which were quite common all around the continent of Jotunheim, but these forests were made of strange trees with crystal clear trunks and pale blue leaves, the forests looked ancient and mystic like I have never seen before. It was a beautiful sight to behold and truly something that left me standing while admiring the scenery with everybody else. It felt as if we were more sightseeing than anything right now.

The air felt filled with spiritual energy just as Pekora had said. The moment I began to sense the surroundings, I could easily feel something around. The air was a bit harder to breath on, this was due to the intense amount of divinity and spiritual essence spread everywhere. The air and surroundings of the island were so rich that it made it hard to breathe, incredible. Just thinking about it made me quite fascinated about the prospects of even living here. The monsters and even the people that have been staying here might not be normal at all and could quite possibly be packed with strength.

We tried to stay away from the large forests where the monsters might make their homes, but ultimately, in our journey, we came across a large pack of wolves. They looked similar to Frost in more than one way, as they also had scales and even bat-like wings, but they were completely black and covered in purple ice, with red-shot eyes. They emanated strong presences and surrounded us with quick movements and stealth as their primary abilities.

”Uwaaah! Monsters?!” Charlotte asked in surprise. “And big ones at that! If I recall correctly… these are Nightmare Frost Wolves, A Rank monsters!”

”Nightmare Frost Wolves, huh? Frost! Come out!” I said, as an enormous wolf emerged from my shadows.

”WOOF!”

”Look, there’s a lot of small weaklings you can add to your pack!”
