The Shadow of the Crown of Snow [Western Fantasy]

After the severe pain from the initial exposure to the drug, the pain from the wound began to subside, and the pale golden power of faith surrounded the bare flesh and blood.At least it doesn't look that serious, Hecate thought.

Hecate didn't know which would be faster, the speed of the wound healing or the speed of the giant snake shaking the castle. Judging from the current situation, she thought it would probably be the latter.

Fortunately, she was prepared to still be injured and fight from the very beginning.Medicine powder is not a little less effective than divine magic, but because of its ease of use, it has always been regarded as a substitute for light divine magic on the battlefield-they can't guarantee that every soldier has a priest next to him, but they can guarantee that every soldier has a priest. Each soldier carried a bottle of powder with him.

According to Selene's research, this medicinal powder is not a "substitute" for the light magic at all, and its main function is not treatment at all, but pain relief.

Let the wounded soldiers forget the pain for a while, and continue to charge forward with the wound.Hecate had seen seriously injured soldiers pulled back from the brink of life and death by priests on the battlefield, and he could take up weapons and join the battle again in a short while, but the medicine powder... many people knew well that this was just an extended period of time. Let the wounded soldier fight to the last drop of blood.

Hecate kind of wanted to complain about Selene.But then she realized that Selene's body is already very suitable for fighting among humans. If she had used an ordinary human body, she might have died in the mouth of the giant snake long ago instead of lingering here up.

She took a deep breath and walked out of the castle.

As Hecate pushed open the door, she thought about what to do next.

In the boundless Kingdom of God, heavy snow began to fall without stopping.

The giant snake retracted the snake around it into its body. It really couldn't cope with the weather, so it could only chase behind Hecate with difficulty.

Finally, somewhere, Hecate stopped.

The speed of the giant snake swimming close to the ground became slower and slower. It struggled a bit and chose to change back to a human posture.

Hecate saw the severe frostbite on Hussein's bare skin, the scales that might have protected him from blades and spells, but not from the cold.

"Do you know where this is?" Hecate raised his hand to catch the snow in the air, "Because there are no buildings, you can't feel it, but I can accurately know every location in the Kingdom of God that corresponds to reality. "

Hussein did not speak.He seemed to want to say something, but his completely frozen body didn't even have the strength to speak.

"This is the end of the Nord Kingdom, bordering your Nagrand Empire. My father handed me over here, which completely changed my life." Hecate sat down in the snow , staring at the increasing accumulation of snow on her body—on her own, and on Hussain’s, “I don’t know if I have the right to call myself the Hecate at that time, but it’s like that Well, there's no second Hecate alive to correct me anyway."

Hussein seemed to be unable to believe that Hecate would really die like this, and died together without any struggle.

"You're using Selene's body. If you die now, she won't be able to live."

"The result is the same, Hussein. As long as I don't completely destroy you, whether I die alone or with you, Selene will die. I think I know Selene well enough to replace her." She has made a judgment on life and death, and from the moment I dragged you to the Kingdom of God, she was mentally prepared to face death." Hecate's voice was as cold as snowflakes floating in the Kingdom of God, " I might do anything just to let her live alone, but Selene will let me choose the path that maximizes my interests. She has been your opponent for many years, and you should know that she has never been afraid of death."

Hecate wants to live.She is a beast that grew up in the jungle where the weak and the strong prey on the strong. Her desire to live is stronger than anyone else. While she is surviving herself, she also wants the people she cherishes to live.She wanted Selene to live.

Selene has always believed that she does not have the courage to face powerful enemies like Hecate. She is a mortal with limited strength. In the face of unknown powers such as gods, she instinctively feels fear and powerlessness.All she has is fearlessness in the face of death.From the moment she realized her identity, she was ready to sacrifice her life for this country and the subjects of this country.Selene was never afraid of death.

The God of Light is sitting beside her, and Udulla and Phoebe are helping her heal the wounds on her body. Gu Yinuo seems to be using something like a conch shell to communicate with the Penglai mainland. After a while, he tells everyone: "There is a good News, the gods of the Penglai mainland haven't issued an ultimatum yet, and Hecate still has time."

This is indeed good news, but everyone doesn't care anymore. Even if there is bad news now, it can't make the situation worse.

Hussein was pulled into the Kingdom of God, and the illusion he created naturally collapsed. Several people stayed in the basement of the Nagrand Imperial Palace, waiting for Hecate's return—or Hussein's return.

Selene is now using Hecate's body.This is also one of the facts that annoys her the most, she is willing to exchange everything for her and Hecate's souls to return to their respective places in the next instant, not for her own survival, but to increase Hecate's chances of winning.

While waiting for Hecate, she tried to draw out the Crescent Blade from its sheath, and the memory remaining in her body drove her movements. She was amazed at Hecate's strength, and at the same time, she was amazed at herself and Hecate gap between.

That insurmountable gap is also blocking Hecate and victory.

As the power of faith decreased, the snow in the Kingdom of God also became smaller, but this did not change anything.Hecate looked up at the sky and sighed.She began to destroy everything else in the Kingdom of God, leaving only this vast snowfield, the power of faith gushing out, and the snow falling in the sky.

The snow will keep falling until both Hussein and Hecate are buried on the snow field. Of course, Hecate will keep his sobriety, and before Hussein's soul escapes from the kingdom of God, he will Godhead is completely obliterated.

The result of this is that both Hussein and Selene will die, and she will probably choose to fall into an eternal sleep with her kingdom of God.

"It is said that on the day I was born, the biggest snowfall ever fell in Frost City." Hecate knew that Hussein could no longer hear her, but she didn't want to say this to anyone. Before dying, I always wanted to confide, always wanted to finish the last few words left in my heart, "It was the snow that stopped the doctor from the castle and trapped us in the castle. Everyone thought I would definitely die in this snow, but I was born and survived healthy. So I want the snow to be my home, which is fine."

The snow was about to completely bury the two of them.Hecate suddenly felt that someone was trying to shake the outer protection of the Kingdom of God. When she used all the power of faith to create snow and low temperature, the strength of the protective layer was so weak that it could almost be ignored.An uninvited guest broke into the Kingdom of God at this time.

The snow and the deadly low temperature caused equal damage to Hussein and Hecate, not to mention checking the situation, Hecate didn't even have the strength to stand up now, she was vaguely thinking about who would break into her Kingdom of God, but the brain seems to be frozen at the same time.

Finally, the figure of the intruder appeared in Hecate's vision.

That was Hecate himself.

To be precise, it was Selene, who was using Hecate's body, walking towards them.

No, you're late, you don't need to help... In fact, it doesn't matter, because whether you come or not, death is a foregone conclusion.

When Selene stumbled to a place very close to them, Hecate murmured, "Selene, I'm going to kill you."

"It's okay." Selene hugged her gently, and the warmth from the outside world dissipated quickly on her body, "I'm glad you know I want you to do this."

Selene lowered her head, trying hard to hold back her tears, but the tears continued to flow down her cheeks and into the snow.

Hecate smiled and reached out to wipe the tears from Selene's face, and then with trembling fingers, touched the snow that had fallen on the golden hair on top of her head.

"Northern people say that the new one is better than the old one." Hecate looked at the silver crown he had cast from the snow in the Kingdom of God, "I think your crown should be replaced too."

"Will you survive?" Selene asked her.

Hecate avoided Selene's gaze.

"If the final result is that we die together, there is no need for us to plan these things so hard, so you have to live."

"Selene...we're on the worst possible path."

"You are the main god of the mainland, and you have responsibilities that you should take on."

"The God of Light is still alive."

"You still have the responsibility of being a monarch."

"……what?"

Selene slowly took off the crown from her head, and put it on Hecate solemnly.

"You once lived instead of Hecate, and now I want you to live instead of me—to live instead of Selene."

"……I can not do it."

"There is always something you can do, Hecate, for example, tell me, how can I erase Hussein's godhead?"
