Chapter 2162: After the Storm
The purple-striped griffin took flight and vanished into a bolt of purple lightning into the depths of the icy plains.
The sappers all stopped their work at hand as they watched in awe.
Lord Alex!
The god-like man!
He actually went straight into the icy plains!
“Is the Lord going in just like that… nothing will happen right?” one sapper asked worriedly.
“That’s Lord Alex you’re talking about. He was the one who warned us about the Devil. What could possibly happen?”
“Yeah. With the Lord’s powers, there’s no issue going in and out of the icy plains seven times.”
“On top of that, the beautiful lady beside him must be Princess Irina, right? She’s also a legendary powerhouse.”
The sappers discussed softly and excitedly.
“Get back to work quickly!” an official shouted. However, he could not help but gaze deep into the icy plains, with hope in his heart.
Lord Alex was probably the only one in this world with such great powers that he could go anywhere in the world.

“It has been more than five hours since she set off in the morning. The icy plains are so wide and she’s flying in the air. How do you intend to find her?” Irina asked Mag who was standing in front of her.
“She must have come to the icy plains after hearing about Rankster and is trying to find out news of the Army of the Dead from the borders.” Mag looked forward and said, “It’s very difficult to try to find Elizabeth but finding the large-scale Army of the Dead is easier.”
Irina nodded and did not ask further as she looked ahead just like Mag.
The icy plains were huge and the purple-striped griffin had flown for three hours but Mag had only discovered three locations where the skeletons were hidden. Each location had around 50,000 skeletons.
This time, Mag and Irina did not attempt to raid their nest. Instead, after ensuring that there were no traces of battle or signs of Elizabeth, they left silently.
As time went by, hope grew smaller.
Mag watched the storm ahead that was coming towards them. There was ice and frost within the blades of wind, slicing its way through the icy ground. Mag was about to make Ah Zi go around the storm to continue their search, when Irina called out to Mag. “Hang on!”
She pointed at the storm and said, “Look, is there something behind the storm?”
Mag looked in the direction Irina was pointing at and squinted. After that, his eyes widened.
Behind the storm, was a large silhouette flying but it appeared to be in a battle.
“Ah Zi, go through the storm!” Mag ordered.
“Howl!”
The purple-striped griffin let out a long howl and flapped its wings as it transformed into a bolt of purple lightning dashing towards the storm.
***
The Frost Dragon with a wingspan of more than a hundred meters flapped its wings as it dodged the ice spears flying toward it. There were several large bloody holes on its white wings and there was even an ice spear that was stuck that did not manage to pierce through its wing.
Below her, were tens of thousands of skeletons from the Army of the Dead. The tens of strong skeletons leading the troop were holding ice spears in their hands. They looked up at the frost dragon and threw out the ice spears.
Behind her, were two dried, ancient giant dragon corpses. They were staring at her with blood-red eyes. Their wings were bigger than that of the frost dragon’s and they blocked all her escape routes.
Judging from her injuries, these two dragon corpses did not appear to be something to be trifled with.
Elizabeth was a little anxious. Initially, she just wanted to go closer to the Army of the Dead to investigate and then leave as she had done before.
She did not expect to be discovered and now these two dragon corpses even blocked her way.
These two dragon corpses were above the 9th-tier before they passed away. Although it was difficult to tell what tribe they were from,they had a very strong skeleton and after being demonized, they still had the power they had while they were alive and were very difficult to handle.
On top of that, among the ancient corpses on the ground, many were 10th-tier powerhouses. Even if she had risen to the skies, she was still very severely injured.
She was in despair since she did not manage to find her father.
If she could not leave this place now, she might not get the chance to anymore.
She was losing blood very quickly and she was already at the limit of her physical and magical abilities.
No one on these icy plains could help her.
She could only take the final gamble!
“Howl-”
Elizabeth let out an angry howl. She flapped her wings and the cold air around her congregated. Countless icicles the diameter of a bowl formed and rained down.
At the same time, she activated her Frost Domain. The flying ice spears and two dragon corpses slowed down significantly as though the air was frozen.
“Now!”
Elizabeth’s eyes lit up. She spat out a crystal-clear ice ball which exploded instantly, enveloping her injuries like a gel. At the same time, she flapped her wings hard and turned to fly toward the storm.
The storm was her only hope. The spears from below were the ones that could deal her with the fatal blow.
The ancient corpses broke free from the restraints of the Frost Domain and attempted to pursue Elizabeth.
However, they were slowed down and lost their chance.
Elizabeth was confident that she could escape from the two rather slow dragon corpses.
However, just then, a sharp sound pierced through the sky from below.
Elizabeth looked down instinctively and was shocked.
A golden spear shot up from below, tearing the space apart as it flew towards her with horrifying force.
The Frost Domain was shattered instantly. It did not even manage to slow the golden spear down at all.
At this moment, Elizabeth felt death looming over her.
However, she was not fearful.
She was just filled with regret and worries.
She was regretful that she was unable to meet her father again. She wanted to see him again no matter what he had become.
She was worried that Miya could not live on properly. These fellows were indeed scary. Elizabeth wondered if the allied forces, which were put together at the last minute, could pull through.
That was all.
Elizabeth laughed in self-mockery. She did overestimate herself… but she had no regrets.
She took a deep breath and awaited the final moment.
At the same time, she took a look at this world for the last time.
After that…
She saw a bolt of purple lightning passing through the storm, as well as a ray of light traveling at an even faster speed.
Ding!
A crisp sound echoed across the icy plains.
The golden spear was knocked away by that white light.
After that, it was split in half from its tip down.
The spear flew upward without losing its speed but after being split in half, it slipped past Elizabeth on both sides of her body and continued upwards.
The white light finally showed its true self. It was a short and thick cleaver.
However, it merely paused for a while and transformed back into a ray of light and sliced through the two dragon corpses reducing them to 156 pieces as though they were roasted ducks.
The purple lightning passed through the storm and stopped in front of Elizabeth.
The man standing on the purple-striped griffin’s back gazed intently at her….
