Chapter 199 - Going Through Two Seasons
'I knew you'd never return it.' Grey shook his head, not at all surprised by the fact that Void said he couldn't find the crystal.
Given how much Void loved shiny things, he was sure Void is just looking for an excuse not to return it.
'Seriously, it's not in my spatial storage. Had my storage been like yours, I'd have shown you so you'll see I'm not lying.' Void said feeling wronged.
The crystal truly wasn't there, but since there's no way for Grey to assess his spatial storage, there was no way for him to prove his innocence.
'Yeah right, less talking, more fighting.' Grey didn't believe a single word Void was saying.
Boom!
Grey's fireball was destroyed by the jet of ice Aetonth sprayed out.
'Damn it!' Void said in frustration before joining Grey in attacking Aetonth.
Unlike the first time, this time, Aetonth didn't fight the duo mid-air, but after dealing with Grey's fireball, he flew down, landing not told far from them.
The ground where it landed, was slowly covered by snow.
Roar!
It roared before its horns lit up, ice energy slowly started converging in the middle of the horns.
'Shit! Don't let that thing release that.' Void warned when he sensed the energy converging in between Aetonth's horns.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
The duo's understanding had grown a lot over the time they've spent together, so they were very good when it came to working together.
Boom!
The fire-lightning spear struck the ice sphere, and a crack appeared from that spot, all the way to the other side of the ice sphere, running all around it.
Crack! Crack! Bang!
A second later, the ice sphere exploded, giving room for Grey's fire-lightning spear, as well as Void's three darkness arrows to head straight for the dragon that wasn't even up to two meters away from the attacks.
Unfortunately, Grey and Void didn't see what they expected.
'Duck!' Grey yelled and dived to the ground, covering his head with both hands.
Void was more relaxed since he just vanished and appeared ten meters away from his previous spot.
When he looked up, he saw what looked like an Ice beam shooting off the energy mass Aetonth gathered between its horns.
'Get out of there!' Void yelled when he saw ice shards coming out of the ground as well, following the path of the ice beam, which had Grey lying directly under it.
The cold radiating from the ice beam which was just only a meter and a half above Grey was intense, luckily, he was able to fight against the cold after he circulated his fire essence around his body. He thought he could dodge the attack by just lying down, but he felt a chill when Void told him what was coming.
He couldn't stand up since he was sure he'd be frozen to death if he makes contact with the ice beam, with no other option, he could only roll on the ground.
Since they were in a forest, he also had to maneuver past the trees on the side.
All the trees that the ice beam came in contact with were currently frozen solid, with no sign of returning to their previous state any time soon, and ice shards could also be seen around them.
This part of the forest currently looked like it was going through two seasons at the same time, with one part being covered in ice and snow like it was winter, and the other part still having fresh green leaves like it was summer.
