Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

"If you don't want to live, don't drag me down with you!! Do you really still want to look for those demihumans? They're already dead!!"

How is it possible to survive in a place like this?

Kalima was really afraid of this strange canyon. Her heart was almost scared to death. She once thought she was going to die. She finally managed to leave the canyon and survive, but was forcibly taken down by Aisha. This made her mentally broken.

Then, Aisha took her for a long distance, but gained nothing.

"Those demihumans really did fall off the cliff, didn't they?"

Elsa spoke, slowly and unhurriedly.

"Did I lie to you? Didn't you hypnotize me before? I told you everything I know!"

Elsa fell silent, pondering other possibilities. There were indeed no bodies at the bottom of the canyon. Could it be that the white frost could devour human flesh and marrow? Even if that were the case, could it also have eaten the hair and clothing of the demihumans? And not even a trace of them would be left behind?

"That's not right no matter how you think about it."

Aisha cut off a piece of Kalima's hair and threw it on the ground. Kalima was startled by Aisha's sudden move and realized that Aisha had cut off a bunch of her hair. She was immediately furious - she loved beauty very much, otherwise she would not dress herself so seductively. Cutting her hair was even more painful than robbing her money, but the other party was Aisha, and she had to endure it.

Elsa took out some wine, dried meat, fruit and other things and threw them out, but Baishuang still had no reaction.

"I doubt the demihumans actually fell off the cliff—at least not down here."

Aisha said.

Kalima immediately retorted sharply: "Don't comfort yourself, those subhumans died a long time ago!"

"Did you see them fall off the cliff?"

"The fog was so thick I couldn't see clearly, but they must have fallen off the cliff."

"Then keep looking."

Elsa didn't say anything more to her, she just dragged her forward and removed the magic that protected her.

Kalima’s expression suddenly changed.

"W-What are you doing! What's going on...my magic...my magic isn't working! Damn it, let me go! We're all going to die if this goes on!"

Elsa glanced at her expressionlessly. "You're wrong. This white frost can't do anything to me, but it can to you. I advise you to hold your breath as much as possible. Otherwise, inhaling the white frost will only make you die faster."

Kalima's expression of indifference and unyieldingness, which she had maintained till now, could no longer be maintained.

"You, you...are you a devil?!"

"That's strange coming from you. I don't have as much blood on my hands as you do."

It's a fact that Aisha hasn't killed many people.

Seeing the thick fog coming up again, Kalima's face turned pale and he finally began to struggle violently.

"let me go!"

Elsa remained unmoved. She grabbed her collar and took a big stride, walking dozens of meters away. The ice was covered with cracks like spider webs. Kalima was shocked, but she still pulled Elsa's fingers hard like a madman, hit them with her fists, and bit them with her teeth, almost breaking her teeth. Elsa remained indifferent and just walked forward quickly.

Kalima started coughing soon. She knew that the white frost had taken root in her body again, which made her mentally explode.

"You're crazy! You're really crazy! I... cough cough!!"

Kalima started coughing violently and struggled to get up. She wanted to leave, but there was solid ice all around and thick fog. She vaguely guessed that there was something wrong with those things, but she didn't dare to move.

"help me……"

Finally, she could only look at Elsa for help. Elsa glanced at her and threw the water bag in her hand to her.

"If you feel sick, just drink a little. You won't die."

Elsa no longer paid attention to her, but suddenly moved her nose as if she sensed something, and her eyes gradually moved downwards to look at the ice surface under her feet.

“It smells…”

Elsa squatted down, and with one hand like a knife, she stabbed into the ice under her feet, carving out a whole block of ice. In an instant, an indescribable smell spread.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

This time, there was a hint of understanding in Elsa's eyes.

It turns out that hoarfrost comes from ice.

Colorless, or rather, the mist floating here becomes the natural protective color of the hoarfrost, and almost odorless.

This is not difficult to guess. The white frost is probably what is under the solid ice. Therefore, the white fog in the upper part of the canyon is very safe, but it will bring danger when it reaches the bottom.

At the same time, it should also have some magical properties.

Elsa saw a lot of dense white frost wriggling in the cracks of the ice. It turned into white dust as soon as it touched the ice, and then melted completely - it looked like ordinary snowflakes.

Elsa pondered for a moment, and when she stood up again, she cast a holy light magic, and dazzling little suns rose in the canyon.

Grace saw this scene through the familiar flying high in the canyon and pursed her lips.

What is this for?

Could it be that Elsa really thought that she could still find those demihumans, and was this extending their lives while they were nowhere to be found?

……

Aisha did have this guess. Those demihumans, or the troublesome Nerona mentioned by Kalima - Lacey's sister, since she had discovered Kalima's conspiracy a long time ago, would she really be sent to the Jedi without any preparation?

Is the truth really as Kalima saw it?

The canyon is more than ten kilometers long, but only the middle part is covered by ice. The rest of the area is covered with snow and is very narrow. Elsa spent a lot of time searching the canyon carefully, but still found nothing.

The pits were covered with a large amount of white frost, and there was nothing else inside. They were empty, not to mention any subhuman corpses.

There was still ice beneath the ice. No one knew how deep or thick the ice underneath was. Elsa broke through the ice and probed down for dozens of meters, but still found nothing different. The difference was that the white frost did not exist in the deep ice, and it did not seem to spread into the white mist - it was like snowflakes, only settling on the surface of the ice.

What was a little strange was that the ice contained abundant magical power, and the deeper you went, the more magical power it had. When Elsa stepped on it, it even made an explosion sound.

Elsa did not continue to explore. If she went any further, she felt that the canyon would collapse directly - the ice layers full of magical power could easily be detonated by Elsa, causing a large-scale collapse.

Elsa had no intention of doing this until things were clear.

So she left.

Grace came over quickly. She saw that Elsa was holding the pale, half-dead Kalima in her hands. It was only Kalima. She sighed inwardly, took back the familiar, looked Elsa up and down, and asked:

"Are you OK?"

"fine."

Relieved, Grace continued to ask:

"Have you found anything?"

Elsa shook her head.

"No."

“Sure enough…” Grace had no hope in the first place and just took it as a conclusion.

Aisha said, "No gain, but maybe it's also a gain - those demihumans may not have fallen off the cliff at all, they didn't die."

"Ah?" Grace immediately raised her eyebrows, "Then..."

"Let's go back to Ngo Village and take a look. If Nerona is still alive, she will definitely go back to look for Lacey. But before that, this place is unusual and we can't just leave it alone."

With that, Aisha let Kalima go.

"Send her to the court. And Balin and the others, don't let these slave traders get away with it. Bring Adele with you when you come back."

"Adele?"

"That black sword."

As for Elsa herself, she planned to ask for reinforcements - Tricia.

It would be safer to call Tricia to take a look at these things.

……

Grace's mood seemed to improve slightly, probably because she believed Aisha's speculation, and she went back to the city with Kalima.

Elsa went straight to find Tricia - Tricia had just arrived above the canyon, and before she even landed on the ground, a rare strange look appeared in her eyes.

"The leyline here...is broken."

"Earth veins?"

"Strange, there clearly doesn't seem to be any signs of a dead zone appearing here..."

"Maybe there isn't a large-scale fracture in the earth veins here?" Elsa didn't know how Tricia was able to observe the earth veins through the thick soil and rocks.

Tricia summoned a crow, circled it over the canyon, looked around, and then came to the bottom of the canyon with Elsa.

With experience, Tricia opened the wind shield to block out the air.

"Is this 'White Frost'?"

Tricia squatted down and used magic to remove a piece of white frost, her face showing a strange look.

"It's devouring... no, it's more like eroding my magic power. It's trying to seize the initiative and strengthen itself." Tricia watched the white frost grow thicker little by little, as if it was growing. Then, with a snap of her fingers, a violent magical impact exploded instantly, but there was no energy overflow. Instead, it completely evaporated in the narrow space.

The white frost also disappeared.

Tricia tried it many times, using different magic tricks.

"Its power is so strong that ordinary people might not be able to resist it... What on earth is this thing?"

"You don't even know Tricia?"

Elsa was surprised.

Tricia shook her head.

"I'm just a slightly more powerful magician. This world is vast, and there are still many places I haven't been to, and many things I haven't seen. Some mysterious, ancient existences disappeared long ago, but they also left behind all sorts of unknown things, just like those ruins. Perhaps they are just waiting for the day they see the light of day again."

Elsa nodded.

This is not surprising. Even in the world we used to live in, a world with advanced technology, there are still unknowns waiting for human exploration.

Tricia continued, "What makes me curious is how long this dangerous thing has existed. Has it always been hidden in this valley? It also gives me a very strange feeling. Its magic-eroding properties remind me of those black dead branches."

"But dead branches are dead things, it's not like this."

The white frost obviously has the characteristics of a living thing, or in other words, it is more like a very small, almost invisible white insect, or fungus or something?

Elsa felt that the white frost did look a bit like spreading mildew as it spread.

"They feed on magic essence."

Tricia stood up and looked at the frozen caves not far away - those caves, large and small, were scattered at the bottom of the canyon.

Tricia's eyes narrowed.

"Also... these were originally the locations of the earth veins, but now they have all disappeared, without even a trace left... I really want to know how much this is related to the white frost."

There was a lot of white frost in those caves, layer upon layer, frozen inside.

It's hard not to make any associations.

Even a little creepy.

You know, white frost is not a dead thing.

"You'll find out once you go in and take a look."

Elsa said, and broke the ice of the cave with a punch, and walked in. Tricia thought about it and followed closely, while observing the surface of the caves along the way - these caves were indeed left by the earth veins, but now the earth veins have disappeared, only the caves are still there.

The cave is covered with solid ice and a large amount of silk-like ice. This description is strange, but it is indeed like a spider's cave covered with a large amount of snow-white spider silk. Looking closely, it is all fine ice, densely packed, forming silk, and the white frost is stuck to the silk, so it looks like spider silk. The further inward you go, the denser it is, and it even looks sticky and disgusting.

However, most of the white frost disappeared when Elsa passed by.

Tricia crushed the rest.

As she walked, a line of words suddenly popped up on Aisha's panel: [-Destroy the Filth-]

[-Freedom Points Obtained: 10-]

Elsa stopped in her tracks, a look of suspicion on her face.

What the hell? The Defiler? ——Elsa hadn't seen this term in a long time.

what happened?
