Chapter 1703: Queen Khione Steps Into Battle
—–
“Elayne’s friends! Right, she did leave a few in here…!” Khione cried out with happiness.
She saw Rita, Lily, and Jenny step into the middle of the war zone, valiantly fending off dozens of barbarians at once with their powerful auras and incredible weapons.
In fact, Khione was utterly flabbergasted by the level of strength they possessed, especially those weapons they had, which were apparently all made by Elayne herself.
The strongest of the trio were obviously Rita and Lily, who valiantly and bravely fended off mighty foes one by one with dexterous and devastating attacks, using magic and techniques together with the skills bound to their souls, their special weapons, and powerful innate abilities.
Jenny was the weakest of the three, but still very strong. Nonetheless, her halberd in particular possessed many powerful abilities, elevating Jenny into a competent fighter capable of handling hordes of foes by herself.
Meanwhile, the fourth member, resembling a pink and golden spiritual dragon, reached the skies, spreading a massive divine and celestial barrier, protecting the entire city from the incoming ballista arrows of immense size and other long-range weapons that the Ice Goblins had created.
“T-They’re really managing to buy enough time…!” Khione said. “But even then, there are too many barbarians. I need to call Elayne! Please answer the call…!”
Khione closed her eyes, trying to call Elayne as much as she could using her abilities and Telepathy, until she was finally able to intercept her through a telepathic message, which Elayne barely managed to receive.
“Elayne! Elayne, are you there? Were you able to deal with the camp down there?”
She was able to message Elayne after trying for a good minute, acting more desperate than she wished she sounded.
“Khione! Yes, we managed to take it down, and now we’re on our way back… What’s going on?”
Elayne’s voice sounded concerned once she picked up Khione’s telepathy.
“Ice Trolls! They’re coming here! And they’re also accompanied by Ice Goblins and even Ice Orcs… and something else! I had no idea there were three tribes of barbarians!”
Khione was desperate, asking for help while telling her everything she knew.
“Wait, what? Already?! Where are they coming from?!”
It seemed that Elayne was already making her way there but had yet to arrive.
“They were seen coming from the depths of the mountain’s interior! Please hurry, their first wave has already hit the walls, and my soldiers are fighting with all they’ve got… We would never need this much help if it wasn’t because their numbers are utterly ridiculous! There are hundreds!” Khione said desperately.
“Okay! We’re on our way! Don’t worry!”
Khione smiled lightly as she felt relieved. Elayne’s confident voice made her feel a little safer.
“Hurry! I’ll give you anything you want, but please help us protect the Queendom!”
She even went out of her way to offer anything. This was no time to be stingy, and as a queen, Khione knew this.
“We’re going there! Are Rita and my friends helping?”
Elayne seemed concerned about her friends after all, and Khione nodded, telling her everything she could see.
“Yeah, they’re very strong, but I fear they may not be enough. There’s something dark within these barbarians… Your friends are already busy and almost overwhelmed. If the enemy strikes from a blind spot they haven’t covered, it’ll be bad news.”
“Okay! I’m going there, wait a few seconds! We’ll try to get there in less than a minute!”
At that moment, Elayne’s communication cut off abruptly. Khione closed her eyes and sighed, suddenly hearing the sound of over a hundred wings flapping in the sky.
“Eh?”
Queen Khione glanced into the skies toward the origin of the wings flapping, a sound that made her realize what it was immediately, even before seeing it with her eyes.
“Your Majesty, the magicians have finally arrived! They’re awaiting your instructions!” Chloe’s voice reverberated by Khione’s side.
She quickly realized that, although Elayne was a lifesaving help, she couldn’t just rely on the human. As a queen, she had her army and her kingdom to protect. Relying on outsiders was simply not the way.
“Okay, follow me! I’m stepping into the battlefield as well!”
Khione valiantly led her troops into battle as they all charged by her side, roaring in unison, both fairies, goblins, gnomes, and other fae folk. Snowflake and Frosty were by her side as well.
“Come! Glacial Bear King! Winter Moth Princess! High Frost Elemental!”
Queen Khione’s Spiritual Heart resonated with her Mana and her Spirit Power as three creatures emerged from her Spiritual Aura at once.
A giant white bear covered in sharp icicles growing over his body, some of which grew like horns around his head, resembling a regal crown, the Glacial Bear King! His size was over fifteen meters, and he overflowed with immense quantities of power, a true Elder Spiritual Heart Beast Ranked being.
A giant white, fluffy moth appeared, with wings made of sharp ice and a mystical snowstorm-like aura. The Winter Moth Princess emerged, spreading her beautiful wings and releasing icy snowflake scales everywhere.
And lastly, a giant, floating creature resembling an assembly of dozens of giant pieces of ice and plates of ice, floating around a glowing blue crystal pearl, with glowing “eyes” made of red crystals. This was the High Frost Elemental.
All of them were once powerful Spirit Beasts, which Queen Khione defeated and then absorbed their Spirit Cores, creating Spiritual Heart Beast Eggs, then Larvae, then Young Adults, and lastly Elders.
Their power was more than notable as their intimidating presences spread an icy wave everywhere… and Khione unleashed the power of her Spiritual Heart Beasts, tied to her own Spiritual Heart, which she had been growing and developing through her long life.
“{Snowflake Scales of Protection and Healing}!”
Queen Khione immediately started with a long-range and wide-ranging spell, combining the power of her Winter Moth Princess Spiritual Heart Beast. She made her beast flap its wings, releasing a snowstorm made of the snowflake scales of its wings.
