Village Head's Debauchery-Chapter 1279 Yuronth, The Ice Fortress!

1279 Yuronth, The Ice Fortress!

Did they have an end goal?

Orion didn't have the answers to these questions. With so much still unknown about the Spirit Realm, he focused on making the Celestial Spirit Court reveal its hand while ensuring their own safety.

Orion chose to overestimate his opponent. It was better that way than thinking that they were some remote part of the Spirit Realm where they could tread unchallenged and be caught off guard by an unexpected event that could force them to leave the Spirit Realm and restart their plans. He also intended to take control of the Celestial Spirit Court and restructure it within Paradise forces, which would give him influence in regions beyond Floating Frost Valley.

Orion's plans were too grand for even Iy'yra to fully grasp.

"Do you know where these secluded Spirit Beasts are hidden?" Orion asked. "Yes... Yes, I do. I know of a few locations, none of which I dared to approach out of fear of being consumed and silent," Iy'yra responded swiftly and nodded her head. "Alright. I agree with your plan. Let's go pay them a visit. If they plan on remaining within the Floating Frost Valley, then they should also be willing to protect it. If they don't, we'll eliminate them to send a message. I'm certain that a few of them will choose to offer their support," Orion replied.

He wasn't sure if the Divine Apostle Crest could still absorb Spirit Beasts while they were unconscious, but it was best to put it to the test. Looking ahead, Orion couldn't help but anticipate how much the Divine Apostles would grow.

The White Winged Gryphon couldn't be left unprotected, so Orion brought Zera, Fifi, and the last conscious remaining Divine Apostle with him. Although Orion intended to have a civilized conversation, there was still a chance they might encounter conflict. So, he brought him along to ensure the deaths of these Spirit Beasts would not be in vain.

Iy'yra and three more White Winged Gryphons carried them toward their destination. In an hour and twenty minutes, they landed in a dense forest, floating above a vast icy plain. At the centre of the towering trees was a large clearing with a massive floating rock and an enormous cave built into it. The rock, about 150 meters in diameter, hovered above the icy ground. Apart from resembling a rocky fortress, it didn't seem out of place among the countless bizarre landscapes they had passed along the way.

Iy'yra and the others landed on the branches of a nearby tree.

"That's the place," Iy'yra said, gesturing toward the enormous floating rock. "Shall I announce your arrival so they'll come out to speak with you?" she asked.

"Go ahead, I'll leave it to you," Orion replied with a nod. He soared into the air, holding Sylvalis close.

Noticing his movement, the others followed, rising into the sky.

Without hesitation, Iy'yra flew toward the enormous rock.

"I am Iy'yra of the White Winged Gryphon Tribe, and I have come with my fellow tribe members and the group that helped us reclaim our land from the Celestial Spirit Court forces. Come out, Yuronth," Iy'yra shouted, her voice echoing through the environment.

Instantly, the entire rock trembled violently.

Iy'yra's eyes narrowed. She despised these secluded Spirit Beasts who refused to defend their territory against invading forces, and she found it more fitting for them to serve as pawns to extract information from the Celestial Spirit Court.

Iy'yra's eyes narrowed. She despised these secluded Spirit Beasts who refused to defend their territory against invading forces, and she found it more fitting for them to serve as pawns to extract information from the Celestial Spirit Court.

Soon, an icy mist began to emerge from the surroundings, spreading and shrouding the entire area. As the mist rose higher, Fifi frowned and waved her hand. Instantly, the icy mist that enveloped the area swiftly vanished.

"We are not here for trouble. We've come to discuss your contribution to protecting Floating Frost Valley and how to repel the Celestial Spirit Court forces from invading our territory," Iy'yra shouted again.

Fortunately, this time, a response came.

"If you truly came here to speak peacefully, you wouldn't have brought such a frightening group capable of effortlessly repelling the Celestial Spirit Court forces," a loud voice growled from the cave. Moments later, a figure stepped out. It resembled a hippopotamus with two heads—the left side more enormous than the right, unlike the White Twin-headed Bears, where both heads were equal. Its jaws held rows of sharp crystal-white teeth, and its skin was covered in ice armour plating. It stood an imposing 40 meters tall, surrounded by a cloudy mist that attempted to shroud its entire figure.

His eyes focused on Iy'yra and the White Winged Gryphons behind her before shifting toward Orion and the others above, observing from a distance.

"I am Yuronth, also known as the Ice Fortress, a 2,600-year-old Knight-ranked Spirit Beast," Yuronth said, his two heads moving in unison, causing his voice to reverberate in the air. Since Iy'yra had already announced his name, he saw no reason to hide it and introduced himself honestly. "You seem like beings from the Material Realm. May I know the identities of those I'm speaking with?"

"I am Orion, and this is the rest of my group," Orion replied, gesturing toward the others.

Yuronth responded with a nod. "Since you are capable of handling the Celestial Spirit Court on your own, I don't see why you need to seek me out. Compared to you all, my strength is insufficient and would merely be a statistic in the face of the Celestial Spirit Court forces," he said.

"Regardless of how weak you may be, everyone residing within Floating Frost Valley must participate in its defence. As long as you want to continue living here, it's necessary," Orion responded firmly.

Silence fell over the area.

"Thank you for hearing me out. Since that's the case, I will take my leave," Yuronth said, breaking the silence. He bowed his head in gratitude and stepped into the air, his massive body effortlessly levitating. Just as he attempted to soar away, he froze in place. After struggling briefly, he realized he was unable to move.

"Where do you think you're going? I never said you could leave," Orion asked, his divine power suppressing the Spirit Beast.

"Isn't it enough that I'm leaving peacefully?" Yuronth replied, frustration in his voice.

"No. You could potentially deliver information about Floating Frost Valley's current situation to the Celestial Spirit Court. That's a risk I won't take," Orion said, shaking his head. "Anyone who refuses to defend Floating Frost Valley will die." He gestured to the Prismerion Divine Apostle, signalling him to step forward.

The Prismerion Divine Apostle nodded and soared towards the frozen Yuronth, halting in front of him.

Witnessing this, Yuronth attempted to break free from the invisible restraints holding him, but his efforts were futile. His eyes widened as the man before him stretched out his hand. Countless runes materialized and morphed before him. Yuronth's struggle ceased, and he instantly fell into a daze. His massive body was then sucked into the ever-changing, spinning runes until nothing remained of him. As the runes slowed and retracted, the Prismerion Divine Apostle collapsed, unconscious. Fortunately, Orion swiftly caught him and hovered him in the air before pulling him back to their position.

Iy'yra and the other White Winged Gryphon were frozen, shocked and astounded. The events had unfolded too quickly for them to react. Although they were aware that this group could effortlessly eliminate Spirit Beasts, witnessing the exact details of how it was done left her dazed.

Yuronth hadn't been merely eliminated—he was consumed.

'Who are they?' Iy'yra wondered, her gaze fixed on the unconscious figure before drifting to Orion and the others, a mix of fear and curiosity in her eyes. She found it hard to believe that a group consisting of so many divine beings, with many others capable of consuming a Spirit Beast, wasn't well-known in the Material Realm. Their identities must be far greater than what they had initially assumed.

Suddenly, a thought flashed in Iy'yra's mind, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Let's continue," Orion said, snapping them out of their daze.

Iy'yra and the other White Winged Gryphons nodded, quickly soaring toward them and positioning themselves so that the group could be seated on their backs.

"Is this the strongest secluded Spirit Beast in the Floating Frost Valley?" Orion asked. From the information Orion had gathered from Ilse, a juvenile Spirit Beast was equivalent to a 1-star warrior, while an adolescent Spirit Beast was equivalent to a 2-star warrior. A Squire-ranked Spirit Beast was equivalent to a 3-star warrior, and a Knight-ranked Spirit Beast was equivalent to a 4-star warrior. However, depending on the type of Spirit Beast, its traits, and its environment, a Squire-ranked Spirit Beast could contend with a 4-star warrior. The ranking system for Spirit Beasts was bestowed upon them by a god who had descended into the Material World, much like Ilse, Aerialia, and the others. This god studied Spirit Beasts and discovered the thresholds at which they evolved into more powerful beings, marking those specific points. Over time, the system became popular among the divines and was used to differentiate the strength of Spirit Beasts.
