Thousands of mountains are always pits

On the ice field in the extreme north, stretches of coniferous forests are covered with vast white snow, guarding this uninhabited land forever.

The snow was falling hard.

Ella struggled to move her body in the deserted ice field.

Her body temperature is rapidly disappearing, and every breath she takes turns into frost in an instant, the white crystals hanging on her eyelashes have almost blurred her vision, and every inch of her skin exposed to the air has been completely frozen. perception.

Yet she was still walking.

Even though she was pulling on the tree trunks along the way, even though every step was extremely difficult to move, she kept walking forward.

Ella knew she had to go back to the South.

She shouldn't end up in this silver hell without sunlight. Her hometown has sunshine, warmth, and popularity, not this hell that will be chewed to pieces by the beast hiding in the dark in the next second.

Ella struggled to bite the tip of her tongue, trying to keep herself awake.

Then, she heard a growl.

Huge, cruel, and foul-smelling roar!

Ella's heart sank, she raised her head, her throat tightened.

It's a dire bear - the only white bear that doesn't hibernate in winter!

The hand that was eroded by the cold and unconscious could no longer hold the bow and arrow in her hand. Ella watched the ice bear rush towards her, just when she thought her life was coming to an end——

A silver light flashed in front of her eyes.

It has the same color as this land, cold, cruel, silver light without a trace of warmth.

The straight steel sword pierced the icefield bear's heart from front to back, and the red blood flowed down the blade onto the snow like hot roses.

The man with the sword turned his head, backlighted, gray eyes, silver hair tied into a ponytail hanging behind him, and a white fur made of ice field bear skin.

The bright daylight cast shadows on the facial features of the visitor.Even so, Ella could see the white patch covering the man's left eye, and then she noticed that the man's left arm was also empty.

It's a Skarr who hunts in the North.

One-eyed, one-armed, silver-haired, gray-eyed.It is the symbol of this nation.

The brain that was frozen by the blizzard slowly realized that it was the Skaar woman who saved her.

...God, is this the angel you sent to save me?

However, reality shattered Ella's thoughts at the moment in the next second.

The woman's long sword was pulled out from the bear's body, with a piercing cold light, the tip of the sword reached Ayla's throat, and Ayla had no doubt that the woman would kill herself in no time.

No, it's not an angel.

This is the devil.

Ella swallowed with difficulty.

The blood on the neck cut by the sword edge slowly flowed down, and the bear's blood on the long sword splashed into Ella's right eye when he acted just now.

The blue eyes were stained with a touch of red.

The whistling wind sounded like a scream.

The clown is screaming.

Ella's mouth, which was opened wide because of panic, slowly grinned into a horizontal line, and then, the two corners of her mouth turned up—she was laughing.

Blue turned red.

The clown shrieked on the ice field.

At that moment, the cowardly expression was covered by mocking madness, spreading wantonly on the ice field.

Ikabel, the Skar woman, saw the devil's smile.
