Chapter 3526 Battle Unicorn
An icy blue light shot forward from the unicorn's back, striking the surging sea of blood and freezing it in the center of the corridor with a rustling sound. The splashes of water at the very front of the blood were even clearly visible.
"Moonlight rays!"
Then, a pure silver beam infused with the power of moonfire burst forth, shattering the crimson ice in front of Ellie with dazzling brilliance.
"Ang~"
Ellie let out a soft cry to express her joy, but was stopped by Shad when she tried to rush forward again. Behind the shattered, blood-red ice, more blood continued to gush out from around the corner of the corridor, as if forcing them to choose another direction.
Evaporating the blood with flames would worsen the surrounding environment; while continuing to use the power of ice, the endless flow of blood doesn't seem like it can be dealt with in a short time.
"Ellie, can we go in a different direction?"
Shad asked, but the unicorn kept its sights set and refused to change course. Shad believed it had its reasons, and reached out to fire another [Freeze Ray] to temporarily freeze the blood tide. Just as he was hesitating about how to get through the corridor, a rustling sound came rapidly from behind.
The icy mist spread out, quickly covering the flesh and blood on the corridor walls with a layer of frost. The sudden drop in temperature even made Shad shiver. He and Ellie both looked back, and then Ellie shouted happily again, because behind them floated Winnie, the Ice Maid, with twelve life rings floating around her, her whole body sparkling with ice crystals, yet dressed in a maid's outfit, walking along the passage that Ellie had just broken open.
The mark of an elemental being floated above her head, and since fake beings could only disguise themselves as flesh and blood, Shad had no need to doubt whether the maid who appeared at this moment was a fake being in disguise.
"Good morning, Ellie, good morning. I cannot mention your real surname right now."
She nodded gently to Shad, who breathed a sigh of relief and then asked:
"Good morning, Miss Winnie. How did you get in? I thought the fakes would completely seal off the building after Ellie and I entered. Have the unicorn herd arrived?"
Even if the [House of the Pseudo-Humans] has time-anomaly properties, the unicorn herd wouldn't arrive this quickly.
The ice maid shook her head slightly; the chill emanating from her body had already spread to the blood that was temporarily frozen by Shad.
“I came alone. Her Majesty Chloe taught me some special skills, and the House of the False Humans couldn’t stop me. Also, please don’t call me ‘Miss Winnie,’ just call me by my name, ‘Winnie.’ The helpers you’ve gathered are assembling, and I’m the first to break in.”
As she spoke, she had already reached Ellie's side, and then said to it in a slightly reproachful tone:
"Ellie, have you forgotten all the skills you once learned? You've been recovering all this time, have you only been playing around and forgotten that you were once a battle unicorn?"
"Battle Unicorn?"
Shad had never heard of this term before, so the ice maid explained it to him gently:
"The witch emperors of the Fifth Age often possessed large unicorn populations, and thus, unicorns with different talents within these populations were categorized differently. Unicorns were powerful in themselves and were not merely used as mounts. Battle unicorns were the most talented offspring of their kind, and they also bore the responsibility of fighting alongside the witches."
This is somewhat similar to the relationship between a dragon rider and a dragon; dragons are not simply flying mounts.
She reached out and stroked Ellie, who looked somewhat bewildered and guilty.
“I have reviewed all the laboratory's experimental records. Although Ellie was still a minor at the time, she had received complete combat unicorn training. Even if she couldn't defeat that ancient evil spirit on her own, she would definitely be able to handle the current situation.”
After explaining to Xia De, the ice maid spoke to Ellie again in a stern tone:
"Don't tell me that all you can do now is demolish walls. In the past, you were a minor, and the clan didn't have high expectations of you. But now you are an adult unicorn, and you have the responsibility to protect your younger kin."
And this man's relationship with His Majesty, do you really not know? Too many apples seem to have made you feel comfortable. Let's see how you explain yourself next time you see His Majesty!
Shad hadn't known Winnie for long, and this was the first time he'd seen her so stern. Ellie was clearly frightened; Shad felt her shiver, and then the unicorn's body temperature plummeted.
Shad initially thought Ellie was frightened by Winnie, but quickly realized it was the unicorn's body undergoing a transformation. Its pristine white fur gradually turned frosty, and within seconds, its body was completely transformed into ice.
The crystal-clear ice unicorn was even larger than its flesh and blood form, and the golden horn on its forehead had turned ice blue.
"Elemental transformation?"
Shad had never heard of a unicorn being able to learn such power, but it had indeed transformed its entire body into ice, just like Winnie's current form.
"Ang~"
With her emotions running high, Ellie carried Shad towards the frozen blood ahead, and the ice maid quickly followed. But she didn't walk or run; instead, she transformed her lower body into a cloud of mist, floating closely behind Shad. This was the most common way of movement for elemental beings.
Ellie's unicorn was the first to come into contact with the frozen blood, but instead of destroying it, it merged directly into it. Then, the entire body of the Frost Unicorn entered the blood-red ice.
Shad didn't have the power to transform into an ice form, but the power of the unicorn beneath him extended to his body. When his body touched the blood-red ice crystals, it was like touching a cloud of bloody mist. Then, Shad, Ellie, and the maid Winnie entered the ice crystals together.
This feeling was quite strange to Shad, but fortunately, Ellie sprinted incredibly fast, reaching the end of the corridor in two seconds. Instead of turning to the right towards the source of the blood, it crashed headfirst into the wall directly in front of it.
Perhaps because of Ellie's power, Shad could see things outside the ice crystals even while inside them. So before Ellie hit the wall, he turned to look to his right and saw that the corridor on the right was very short, and at the end of the corridor was a room emitting a red light, from which blood was gushing out.
This room is not the core room of the [House of the Pseudo-Humans], Shad is certain of that, but he vaguely senses that this room also has extraordinary significance for the entire relic.
So, as Ellie crashed into the wall, he raised his hand to cast a spell. Although they were still encased in ice, the "Moonlight Ray" could easily pierce through it. However, the House of the Imposters reacted quickly, closing the door before the moonlight reached it. By the time Ellie had broken through the wall, Shad had stopped it and returned to the other side to check on the situation. The room emitting the red light had already vanished.
Before the two dummy figures in the new room could even make a move, they were frozen into ice sculptures by the Ice Maid of the Twelfth Ring. Ellie "gently" bumped into them, turning them into fragments scattered all over the floor, but Shad still threw a fireball to completely incinerate the "corpses".
At this moment, Ellie also exited her "ice form" and once again sniffed around like Mia.
Shad released Moonfire at the edge of the hole in the wall, just as he had done before, and then asked Winnie:
"Is Ellie's sense of smell very sensitive? After we entered this place, I had her lead the way, and she kept sniffing the air like this. She was able to smell little Leanna's scent?"
The maid shook her head:
"There is no record of Ellie having a keen sense of smell in the information; this is probably just a manifestation of its own inspiration."
"Alright, let's continue."
Shad mounted Ellie again, and the unicorn, having found its way, continued to crash into the wall with its head down. Although it didn't revert to its previous icy form, after being scolded by the maid Winnie, it seemed to have suddenly regained the power it had lost in the past.
Even as the crimson hue in the surrounding space grew increasingly horrifying, the whispers intensified, and more bloody marks appeared on the walls, Ellie's forward momentum only increased.
The pure white hue even spread to Shad's body, and the unicorn's power was actually protecting Shad from the relic's influence. Only then did Shad realize that perhaps Ellie's current state was the true state of those "battle unicorns" from the Fifth Age who could fight alongside the witches.
Although it has only just reached adulthood, the power it has displayed is truly astonishing.
With the help of the maid Winnie, who froze the breach Ellie had made with ice, the walls remained damaged and could not be repaired even as they ventured deeper into the House of the Deceivers.
As the environment worsened, even more powerful fake humans appeared one after another, but none of them were a match for Shad. Layer after layer of walls were smashed through, and just when Shad thought he would be taken to the core room by Ellie, the surrounding crimson color began to fade again, indicating that they were moving away from the core of the [Fake Human House].
"Ellie is looking for little Leona, not trying to go to the core of the [House of the Fake Humans]. Can it really sense little Leona's direction?"
This time, they traveled a much longer distance within the "House of the Pseudo-Humans" than Shad had done before, thus allowing Shad to see more of what was happening inside the "House of the Pseudo-Humans".
Not only are there rooms and corridors, but there are also stairs. However, due to the unusual nature of the space, going up and down the stairs does not mean that you are actually moving in a vertical direction. After all, Shad fell into the core room from a hole last time, but this does not mean that the core room is actually in the underground area.
PS: You can now light up the "Master's Light" on your mobile phone at Qidian. Interested readers can try it out. As of this morning, I saw that 250 readers have lit it up.
Thanks for the support.
