Chapter Nine, The Magic Sealing Spell

However, Lux quickly embraced her slender waist, forcibly stopping her sister, who was blinded by anger

Did something happen? I don't remember it being like this the last time I came here, " Lux pondered, " Could it be that something unexpected occurred? "

In the next moment, a massive figure emerged from between the dense trees

This is... the Ninth Order Beast, the Moon-Eating Sky Wolf?" Shyvana was taken aback.

The young girl was completely at a loss, "What is going on? Didn't I say it? I came to find you all because I have something important to discuss! How many times do I have to say it?"

At that moment, a heavy footstep was heard

Moreover, I am completely unaware of this spy. His Highness the Prince has acted with such decisiveness this time, and his actions are so meticulously planned that, even in my capacity as an imperial intelligence officer, I failed to detect the slightest clue. It seems I have underestimated him in the past.

Ah... indeed, it is Your Majesty," said the Demon Wolf

"Haven't you already obtained the Crown of the Ancient Golem? What further transactions are there?" the magic wolf asked in confusion.

Roar ... ... Roar ... ...

I see, well... never mind, ladies, please take your leave. Looking at the enormous pillar of light that reaches the sky, the magic wolf's eyes reflected a complex and chaotic mix of emotions. "The Winter Embrace Forest does not belong to humanity, and His Majesty has also given orders that no one is allowed to approach this place. I kindly ask you to leave."

It is quite rare to see the willful and adorable Lux at a disadvantage," Shyvana chuckled, "At least these few Flame Panthers have accomplished what General Garen and his team have never been able to achieve, which is quite impressive.

However, having already arrived here, the two naturally could not retreat, and both being battle-hardened warriors, they could not possibly be intimidated by such an inexplicable situation

"You all seem quite surprised. Were not the group of people who came yesterday from your Debang?" The Demon Wolf was also confused by the reactions of the two women

The two individuals led their troops onward until the sun began to set in the west, casting its afterglow, at which point they arrived at the northwest part of the forest

Arriving from the capital city of Maple Leaf Snow, she and Lux traveled day and night. However, upon entering the forest, they discovered that this infamous land of great calamity within the empire had not a single magical beast in sight. Not to mention magical beasts, there were hardly any ordinary wild animals to be seen; the vast forest was filled with an eerie silence.

"Is this really the Forest of Winter's Embrace? Why can't I see a single beast?" asked a red-haired woman named Shyvana

Just as the young girl was lost in thought, suddenly!

"Huh... finally, the beast has appeared," upon seeing the emergence of the beast, Lux let out a sigh of relief, "Please inform the Lord of Winter's Embrace that we are the army of the Debang, and we have come this time with the items he needs to fulfill the previously agreed-upon transaction."

"What on earth is going on?" muttered a girl named Lux.

Wait a moment, the girl squinted her eyes slightly, contemplating a certain possibility. "Respected Mr. Magic Wolf, could you inform me whether those leading individuals include a man with a scar over his right eye?"

However, the four fire leopards remained unmoved, merely growling softly, blocking the way in front of the crowd, preventing them from taking another step forward

Yesterday, Lux and Shyvana exchanged glances; just the day before, they were still in Tianxin City, the capital of Tiannan Province, which is over a hundred miles away.

Thus, a massive white wolf, resembling a small mountain, quietly loomed before the crowd

Ah, ah, ah... Sister Shyvana, how could you still be laughing? Who do you think all this is for? Isn't it all for your dear one?

The magnificent silver-white fur shone brilliantly in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the giant wolf's body was extraordinarily tall, towering over the trees in the forest, which reached heights of over ten meters, only coming up to its waist

"This... we actually saw the sealed girl in the underground temple before," explained Lux, bowing slightly with a hint of apology.

"Is this... are you all breaking the magic seal?" The girl squinted her eyes, recalling the shocking scene she had inadvertently witnessed in the depths of the temple.

Indeed, the leader is a very polite young man, but there is a scar over his right eye. What happened?" the magic wolf asked curiously

Hmm? Little girl of humanity, how do you know about the magic sealing?" It was evident that Lux had directly revealed the events occurring in the distance, leaving the enormous white wolf somewhat puzzled

"It is as such, Mr. Demon Wolf. This time, I have brought the Night Demon Crystals that your master requires, and I hope to fulfill the transaction agreed upon with your master last time," said Lux, bowing slightly.

This ... ... '' Lux and Shyvana exchanged a glance, bitter smiles on their faces. Despite all their precautions, they ultimately allowed that guy to get ahead of them. This time, they were in trouble

In the distance, a massive pillar of light soared into the sky, piercing through heaven and earth. The vast aura trembled the firmament, resembling the rippling waves of water sweeping and racing through the high altitude, scattering countless white clouds. Beneath that overwhelming presence, the previously fierce four flame leopards actually trembled in fear, collapsing to the ground.

The girl was completely speechless

Hehe... the red-haired woman beside her chuckled softly

A head as large as a small mountain descended from above the towering trees, its enormous vertical beastly eyes calmly gazing down at a few humans in the forest below, who appeared as insignificant as ants

I have one last question, Mr. Magic Wolf, "Lux looked up at the enormous beam of light, seemingly lost in thought, "Is it Mr. Xiao Mu Yu who is currently unsealing the magic sealing array?"

After many days of waiting, many days of rushing about, and the hope that has accumulated over these days, in the end, it has resulted in such an outcome that Lux can only smile wryly in resignation

Thank you for your generous response, we shall part ways here. The young girl gracefully bowed and turned to leave, pulling the dejected Shyvana with her.

With a roar, several blazing leopards suddenly leaped out from the forest, blocking the path of the two women

However, the young girl narrowed her beautiful eyes, seemingly confirming that the prince truly did not wish for the rumors to be as disgraceful as they suggested. He was able to conceal from my watchful eyes and place a spy by my side; otherwise, he would not have known about the existence of the ancient crown of the magical statue here.

However, no matter how hard the girl tried to communicate, the four beasts continued to growl softly, unwilling to budge an inch.

I want to see your king. Why has he not adhered to the agreement and exchanged items with others without permission? In contrast to Lux's frustration, Shyvana, upon hearing this news, abandoned her previous elegance, with anger and anxiety intertwining, and directly charged in.

"Sigh... humanity." Watching the two women depart, the demon wolf let out a sigh and turned to face the enormous pillar of light. In its vast beastly eyes, there was a hint of tension, a glimmer of hope, as well as a trace of shame and timidity.

"Humans, you have come to the Winter's Clutch again. What is the matter?" The enormous magic wolf slowly spoke, using the common tongue of the Valoran continent.

What?" The two women exclaimed in unison

At this point, it is evident that in order to prevent His Highness from recovering, that individual took the initiative to exchange the Ancient Golem Crown before her. They have no reason to blame the Lord of Winter's Embrace; after all, how one chooses to handle their own belongings is their own business. Sister Shyvana must also understand this principle, but sometimes knowing is one thing, and being able to accept it is another.

"Do you not understand what I am saying?" Lux asked in confusion, "I remember that the Flame Leopard is a Tier 5 magical beast, so it should be able to understand my meaning to some extent, right?"
