The Sheep Are Coming!

The girl seemed to be in trouble; her movements had become somewhat sluggish, and she could only struggle to cope with the giant snake's attacks.

Sejuani stared at the figure, then her eyes widened suddenly. She sprang into action, charging forward with her long sword at a speed several times faster than when she arrived.

Herren was also stunned, mainly because his appearance was so distinctive.

Silver hair? The Ice Bow and Arrow?

Isn't that Ashe, the Frost Archer? Is it really her? How come Harren remembers that Ashe was also a Warmage?

Do war mothers like to hunt alone these days?

Thinking that Sejuani was still just a young girl, Harren stopped worrying and, seeing that the girl was about to die in the snake's mouth, he hurriedly followed.

Perfect timing, since receiving the blessing of the demigod, he hadn't yet tested his combat abilities...

……

……

"Drink!"

Sejuani leaped several meters high with a Freljord-like leap, swinging her bone sword in a wide arc, aiming to cleave the snake's head.

With her immense strength, the sharp longsword easily pierced the giant snake's tough skin, embedding itself deeply into its flesh and tearing out a shower of blood.

The giant snake, in pain, turned its attention to Sejuani, who had just entered the arena, and began to bite her with its massive jaws.

Sejuani was agile enough to easily dodge the giant snake's attack. She flipped over and jumped onto the snake's back, and with another slash, she created a fresh gash.

The giant snake writhed wildly, but Sejuani plunged her longsword into its body. Using the force of the snake's writhing, she slashed deep wounds with the sword before being thrown away.

Taking advantage of a lull in Sejuani's battle with the giant snake, Ashe quickly crouched down, using her bow and arrows to support her body and catch her breath.

She hadn't eaten for five days and five nights, and the brief battle with the giant snake had exhausted her remaining strength.

But she gritted her teeth, stood up, and with her last bit of strength, drew back the bowstring.

The longbow forged from pure ice, empowered by the magical power of the Frost Bloodline, conjured a deep blue arrow out of thin air. Asira drew her bow to its fullest extent, aiming intently at the behemoth.

She had no more energy to expend; this arrow was meant to create enough opportunity for her unexpected ally.

Aisha held her breath and focused intently on aiming.

However, at that moment, she heard a horn sound that echoed throughout the entire valley.

woo-

Not only her, but even the giant snake and Sejuani, who were fighting, stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Upon seeing this, Sejuani was stunned.

Following closely behind was Herren, whose entire body was now crimson, his eyes blazing like fire, and the veins on his naked body were clearly visible, like red lines, as if magma were flowing within them.

He raised the hammer high above his head, and at that moment, a ball of fire slowly condensed behind him.

The flames spread towards the sky, outlining and connecting in the cold wind, finally taking shape—in fact, it resembled a "goat-man" that was tens of meters tall.

What is this?!

Sejuani was stunned for a moment, staring at the appearance of the huge phantom. After a moment of reaction, she thought of a possibility.

Could this be... the legendary Sheep Spirit? The demigod mentioned by those furnace dwellers?

As for Herren, he naturally couldn't see the phantom behind him; he only felt that he had gone a bit too far.

This was the first time he had used this power in battle, but he didn't know how to control it, so he unleashed all the divine power within his body.

He felt as if scorching magma was churning inside him. He gritted his teeth, gripped his hammer tightly, and prepared to strike.

He felt that if he didn't unleash this power freely, he would be burst apart by the flames from the demigod.

As the phantom of the sheep spirit became more solid, the pressure emanating from the demigod caused the mindless giant serpent to feel a fear stemming from its biological instincts.

He hurriedly twisted his body, trying to burrow underground to escape, but at that moment, Herren slammed his hand hammer, filled with lava and flames, heavily onto the ground in front of him.

clang--

Legend has it that Ornn, the Lamb, was born on this land before Freljord even existed.

He used the horn on his head to pierce the earth, drawing magma from its core, and forged a furnace for himself, giving birth to the "First Fire".

Then, seawater was brought in to quench the flames. The seawater turned into steam when heated, and then turned into snow that would never melt when cooled, covering the entire land of Freljord and creating "Eternal Winter".

His most magnificent masterpiece as the god of forging is this very land beneath his feet.

He used his hammer to personally shape the mountains and valleys of Freljord.

And this land will respond to Him once again.

The hammer, imbued with the power of Ornn, slammed heavily into the ground. Before it even touched the earth, the ice and snow beneath Harren's feet melted rapidly, revealing moist and solid ground.

A surge of energy spread rapidly forward along the direction of the swinging hammer. Wherever it went, the snow melted, the earth cracked and twisted, and the giant snake, whose body had already burrowed halfway into the ground, was suddenly squeezed by the displaced and cracked earth.

Its half-full body was squeezed by the earth, blood seeping out from the cracks in the ground. It raised its head and let out a painful roar.

Seeing this, Ashe suppressed the tremor in her heart and released the magic crystal arrow that she had been preparing for a long time, which struck the giant snake's raised head.

Zhenbing's magical power instantly covered its head. The giant snake opened its mouth wide, and its entire head was instantly frozen in place.

"Prepare to die!"

Sejuani seized the opportunity and leaped up, brandishing her longsword and slashing heavily at the giant snake's head.

Warm blood splattered on the remaining snow. The giant snake swayed a few times before finally collapsing heavily to the ground, kicking up a flurry of snowflakes.

With the death of the giant serpent, the battlefield instantly returned to calm.

Ashe slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the ravine before her.

A few days ago, she acquired the Avarosa Longbow, awakened her icy bloodline, and mastered magic that was difficult for ordinary people to understand... But this time, she was once again shocked by its earth-shattering power.

As the heir of the Avarosa tribe, she naturally knew about the Lamb Spirits, and she even knew many secrets about demigods.

She was a little confused... When the woman in fur clothing appeared, she thought she had entered the territory of the Lost Ones and encountered the Bear Man... So what was this person with the power of the Sheep Spirit?

Aren't Ornn and Volibear mortal enemies? How could these two possibly get together?

Meanwhile, Herren, who was on the other side, was so exhausted that his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to his knees.

This attack not only exhausted his accumulated divine power, but also left him somewhat overstretched...

He could clearly feel that, faintly, there was a power replenishing him.

Is this a blessing from the old Orn to his followers?

Soon, Herren regained some of his strength, then hung the hand hammer at his waist and walked towards the giant snake.
