Chapter 162
Inside a cold and eerie forest .
Soran pushed forward weightlessly and vigilantly . Although he shook off the Knight in Silver and the high-grade Druid, he encountered a very dangerous creature last night . It was a leopard that had long white stripes . It was bigger than an adult Siberian tiger and seemed to weigh about half a ton . It was a very rare Frostsaber .
It was not a primitive beast but a special kind of magical beast, the product of some forbidden experiments .
These creatures mostly inhabit the outer planes . They were said to have appeared around the period of the Arcane Empire .
The creature had a monster level of 16 .
Soran did not deal with this dangerous creature . Although both parties detected each other, they just looked at each other hundreds of meters apart . The beast had wisdom . After it felt it was at a safe distance, it escaped directly into the dense woods .
Magical beasts were as smart as human children . They appeared on a large scale during the period of the Arcane Empire . During that period, even rabbits could spray out icy powers . All of it was due to the leakage of magic energy and various kinds of radiation energy . Many animals at that period undergone large-scale mutations, and they were a serious threat to other creatures . The total number of Sorcerer doubled during that period .
Then came the massacre . Even the Druids were forced to fight and destroy these magical beasts because they were not products of nature .
These magical beasts were a threat to the natural balance .
Wolves may become extinct because of one mutant rabbit . Nature’s biological chain was under attack and may collapse at any time .
The result of the radiation energy was not only this; there were also some very dangerous creatures .
They were called the Elder Evil . Their destruction has continued for tens of millions of years . Until now, there are still in some corner of the universe . Even the deities are no match for these mutant creatures; They could only seal them up if they work together .
Soran once spotted one somewhere deep in a dessert .
He continued on his journey .
He did not calculate how far he had gone, but suddenly he felt something and stopped .
Soran’s heart began to accelerate for no reason . His heart rate inexplicably increased dramatically . Because of the blood rushing through his body, his muscles began to expand, while his pupils became bloodshot .
This strange feeling was not in his control at all . Soran had no idea what was happening to his body . However, in the midst of this, Soran was able to feel Vivian . All these changes seem to have something to do with her .
The whole ordeal did not last long .
Soran’s head pulsed ever so slightly . His head hurt because of the increased pressure . He couldn’t help speeding up his breathing and gasping for air . He ran towards the river not far away as he felt extremely hot and dry . His skin was reddish and his mouth was dry . He felt as though he hadn’t drunk a drop of water for days and all he wanted was to drink a whole bucket of water .
His skin became more and more red, and his muscles were aching .
“Ah!”
Soran couldn’t help but scream . He stumbled and fell on the ground . The pain was getting worse and worse . He gritted his teeth and pushed himself forward; crawled to the riverside bit by bit, and then fell in with a splash .
Sizzling sounds were heard .
A stream of water vapor came out, and Soran’s skin was like a burning iron, evaporating a great deal of water .
More and more water evaporated .
Soran’s pain faded and his consciousness gradually recovered . When he looked down at his palm, he found a strange tattoo . The tattoo gradually spread along his arm, extending from the position of his arm to his neck . It then continued until it stopped below his earlobe .
Soran stood up slowly .
In the reflection of the river, he was still the same as before . However, some parts had changed– his pupils were now scarlet, and there were many strange tattoos on his body .
These tattoos seem like magical marks on a Wizard but were more like tattoos seen on high-grade demons in the Abyss . The ancient high-grade demons would have similar tattoos on them, allowing them to withstand all kinds of damage .
Soran still looked the same as before . The biggest changes, however, were the tattoos and his scarlet pupils .
Soran’s heart was still pumping fast .
It was as though his resting heart rate had been increased by about 50% . All these changes were extremely confusing to him .
Even his body temperature raised!
The first thing Soran noticed was the change in his body temperature .
The average human body temperature was about 36 degrees, but his current body temperature was close to 50-60 degrees . His skin was a little reddish . His thin body was now much stronger than before . His muscles had expanded in size thus stretching his shirt out .
The change did not last long .
When Soran was just about to examine why he suddenly changed, his accelerated heart rate slowed down and returned to its original level . His swollen muscles began to recover and his scarlet pupils returned to their original color . The tattoos on his arms faded little by little .
If there had not been a little water vapor around him, he would have thought that everything that had just happened was just an illusion .
“What was that?!”
Soran opened his palm and looked at himself . There was nothing abnormal about him . His pupils returned to normal . The tattoos disappeared completely . All the previous changes did not leave any trace of him .
A row of data appeared:
An unknown mutation occurred!
Activated divine energy!… Temporarily transformed into the Slayer form!… Slayer stats activated!
Mutation lost .
Recovered to original form!… Slayer stats removed!
“Vivian!?”
Soran’s expression changed slightly, and almost immediately came out of the river and ran ahead . Although he did not know exactly why he had experienced such a change, he was sure that it was linked to Vivian . The divinity of the Dread Lord had been absorbed by Soran, but his divine powers had been transferred to Vivian .
There should still be a connection between the two .
Thus, the change on Soran might be linked to Vivian using the power of Fear .
If Vivian utilized the power of Fear, it would be possible to awaken the divinity in him . The power of divinity could change a person’s bloodline, and could even transform a person into a half-saint . Soran has not the slightest clue regarding this change, so everything would stay a mystery until he found Vivian .
Soran could not help speeding up his pace toward the location of Gloria’s Wizard Tower . Intuition tells him that something must have happened to Vivian!
The Frost Kingdom .
Arendell was filled with a festive atmosphere; the day of coronation for the elder princess .
The royal court prepared a large number of ceremonies and even invited circuses from the southern seaside . The people of Arendell were enjoying the celebration . People drank and laughed . The fireworks of the celebration had started, and from time to time bards performed wonderful tricks to greet people with a burst of surprise . The largest crowd was around the Phantom Circus—the goblin clown raised plenty of praises while the animal trainer directed the beast show .
The celebration, which was delayed for some reason, had finally started .
The elder princess stood at the top of the castle in Arendell, looking down at the city in front of her .
“Big sister . ”
There were soft footsteps behind her . Princess Anna’s thin face appeared behind her; She looked much more tired and was not as naive and lively as before . She seemed quiet and indifferent, just like a little white flower in the breeze .
Her temperament had begun to change slightly; becoming slightly more like the elder princess . Princess Anna has kept herself in her room for three days since her last stunt . When she came out, she had become much quieter . She began to try to help the elder princess with the affairs of the kingdom . She also treated the officials and guards kindly and gently . She would occasionally sit on the balcony in the afternoon and meditate .
“Anna…”
The elder princess’s eyes showed a trace of love . She opened her arms and embraced Princess Anna in front of her . She then asked, “Are you all right?”
Princess Anna nodded gently and replied, “I hope to learn magic . ”
“As a Princess of Arendell, I can’t always rely on others to protect me . Maybe I should try to protect myself . ”
The elder princess thought about it for a while, then nodded her head lightly .
Then she took Princess Anna’s little hand and led her to the top of the castle . The court lady next to them made a gesture and immediately, fireworks rose .
The brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, illuminating Arendell . The people outside the castle looked over– they marveled at the beauty of the fireworks and saw the two princesses at the top of the castle .
A roar of cheers rang out from the crowd below .
The elder princess was crowned Her Majesty, and Princess Anna became the heir apparent .
