Chapter 322 Blizzard (2)

After a few more days of travel, we ran into a massive blizzard that prevented us from going any farther, so we took place in a giant igloo made from ice that Amanda created.

It was so warm in here that you wouldn't even be able to tell that it was blizzarding… until you looked through the transparent bricks of ice.

The snowstorm was terribly strong, and we would probably be forced to wait it out for a couple of days as the horses won't be able to pull us through it.

"*sigh*... What to do now," I muttered.

Loni was attending to one of the nobles who were injured back when that demon came and ruined our meeting.

Well, most of the nobles actually were either slightly injured or like half their leg had been crushed under the weight of the dragons.

In fact, we were on the lighter side of injuries as the other side had tons of casualties… Was it on purpose that the dragons avoided the moths? Probably… But I'm not complaining.

Anyway, this blizzard doesn't seem to have any signs of stopping, so I guess I'll plan my next moves…

'No, don't write anything down. We can't be too obvious when it comes to what we're doing,'

My inner demon killed the one interesting thing I could do, but at least I could stare out the igloo and gaze at the tons of monsters surrounding the igloo.

"What are they?" I asked Amanda, who sat beside me in the snow.

"Blizzard yetis… They only come out when they find somebody vulnerable or a pack of vulnerable people. The blizzard was probably brought by them actually,"

"Brought by them? I thought they created it?"

Amanda giggled a bit before elaborating for me.

"Blizzard yetis have a passive trait that lets a blizzard follow wherever they go. And, it's not like they create it; if a blizzard yeti enters a blizzard, the blizzard will just follow it until it dies down… That's why we call them blizzard yeti's,"

"Oh… Makes sense… But are we going to do anything about them?"

"We'll have to clear them out eventually if they continue to keep an eye on us, but they won't be able to break through this igloo. It's made out of my strongest ice,"

"You should probably circulate some cold and fresh air in here also… It's getting a bit stuffy," I say while wiping a few drops of sweat from my forehead.

"Oh, my bad," She says, and the igloo in front of me cracks, letting a blast of cold wind in that sent me flying back.

Amanda burst out laughing as I slowly got up and patted the snow from my dress.

"Would you rather have that or be a bit hot?" She asks with a sly smirk.

"Tch… Lemme take care of them," I say as I sit back down next to them.

"I won't allow you. You are most definitely strong enough to wipe them all out, but there might be a king commanding them, and if there is a king… then they'll be smart enough to target us who will be vulnerable after I open a spot for you to exit this igloo… Plus, the blizzard is just a no-go. You'll lose sight of the igloo quickly and most likely get lost," Amanda explains, and I couldn't refute anything that she just said.

'It's funny how smart but dumb you can be… You're like that drake king,'

Please don't compare me to the drake king. That thing is just an embarrassment to all monsters… though he does have some pros… but those pros also come with hefty and large cons that just weigh him down.

"*sigh*... There is nothing I do," I muttered before feeling my mouth water, so I made my way back to the center of the igloo and picked up my pipe.

The linner in there had decreased significantly and wouldn't last me more than a day.

"You should just quit," Amanda says, patting my head.

"I can't," I mutter before blowing a puff of smoke.

"Well, you should at least help out the injured… They could use that handy skill of yours,"

"I can't… I used already used the [Revive] function on one of your closest aids… That leader of knights. He was dead, and I thought everybody would be devastated, so I decided to revive him,"

Amanda was a bit shocked by the words but just ended up smiling warmly before giving me a hug and saying,

"Thank you…"

"No problem,"

"Anyway, how long will it take for you to get the healing function back?"

I paused for a second and had a long stare at her, and also glanced around…

"A few months," I whispered, and she was a bit confused as to why I whispered… until she felt the presence of a demon blending in with our guards.

"H-how could I not sense them before?" She muttered until seeing a black aura wrap around her like a blanket.

"I enhanced your senses,"

"Ah, thank you… But what should we do about it? It seems strong enough to wipe out everybody here,"

"It won't make a move. Demons, like monsters, are selfish creatures, and even if they are under the command of somebody, unless they have an enormous loyalty, they will always be thinking about themselves… So, you don't have to worry because it knows that if they kill everybody here, I'll slaughter them alive,"

"We're they sent by that guy from earlier?"

"Shh… They're coming," I say, so we resume a normal conversation on the blizzard yeti's from before while eyeing the man who was slowly walking past us.

Tall. Pale. A bit muscular. Blood red eyes. Long black hair. And long black nails.

'That's a vampire if I've ever seen one… But it looks like they took the place of one of the knights because one of the knights did look like them,'

Ah, really? I wasn't paying much attention to them besides the leader and Loni.

'Yep, I'm sure of it,'

"Hello? May I ask what your name is?" Amanda suddenly speaks up, causing me to sigh as the next few minutes might be a bit troublesome.

"Inkol," He responds with a deep voice that strangely fits his appearance.

"Inkol? Interesting name? I thought your name was John?" Amanda asks, and I can see the man's eyes glow a blood red.

"Your royal highness, you must've been thinking of somebody else," The man says while raising his hand, which was coated in a spiraling purple vortex.

But, I quickly block it by grabbing his arm quickly.

"Hey, I'm still here bitch,"

The man clicks his tongue before smiling slightly.

"Do you think you can do anything to me? You're just a lowly foot soldier while I'm a commander under the leaders' command," The man says as Amanda suddenly faints.

I chuckle a bit.

"That's cool… But don't think your boss will protect you,"

"Of course, he'll protect me since I'm so high up the rankings,"

"Oh, really? Tell me… did you have a brother that went by the name of… Inkal?" I ask with a sadistic smile.

The man freezes, and the veins on his head practically strain out.

"Ah, the screams of him begging for the pain to stop we're addicting… It's such a shame though, that such a strong warrior was sent to his death by your so-called 'benevolent commander.' And though it took a while, he began to beg for death," I explained.

"YOU BASTARD!" He shouted, his blood-red aura cracking the igloo around us.

"Shut the hell up," I say before activating [Forbidden Magic: Medusa].

The vampire's arm then began to crumble and so he began to shout his last words.

"D-don't think you'll get away with this," He says but to his surprise, I let go.

But, he wasn't so stupid as to know I let go due to his empty threats… but because I thought he wasn't strong enough to deal with.

"So annoying," I muttered before waving my hand towards him, healing him with golden flames.

"I-I thought you said it was on a cooldown?"

"Oh, that's just because I didn't want to heal those nobles. I don't like any of them," I say before picking up Amanda's limp body and walking back towards the center of the camp where lunch was spread out.

I sat next to Loni who had already prepared a plate of food for me.

"Thanks," I say after taking the plate and sitting down next to her.

"Why is her royal highness like that?" She asks.

"First of all, she's just sleeping. Second of all, you don't have to speak so formally towards me," I say before wrapping my arm around her shoulder.

"Oh, really? Bet," She says.

What the fuck…

"What? Did you think I grew up in some royal castle? Nope, I'm just doing this job because I want money for my family," She says before roughly throwing her arm over my shoulder.

"So not cute… But so cool," I muttered with sparkling eyes.

"Thanks,"
