A huge, indescribable thing rose up from the ice surface gradually, and the sky turned dark. Countless dark clouds gathered, and a terrible aura spread. Even the purple-striped griffin was shuddering slightly.

  The gel-like body that was covered in black scales kept shifting forms like a giant worm. Just taking a look at it was enough to make one feel deep fear. The giant bat wings were thousands of meters high after it lifted them up. The gigantic body still looked immensely huge in this snow plain.

  However, it didn’t seem to have a head. It only had a gigantic body, which made it look even weirder.

  “It’s Cthulhu!” Merante said in a trembling voice with deep fear in his eyes.

  “Seems like this is the one that escaped from under Dragon Island.” Irina’s expression turned very grave too. She was grabbing a few single-use talismans.

  Cthulhu’s power was undoubtable. Dozens of 10th-tier powerhouses couldn’t do anything to it while it was in the seal outside Chaos City.

  And Mag, who could barely drag it down, was dragged down by Rankster, who was as strong as him.

  Without the seal as the shield, the three of them weren’t this fellow’s match even if they combined forces.

  Meanwhile, Cthulhu’s appearance made the ancient corpses descend into a greater craziness. Dozens of ancient corpses that could fly took to the air, and flew towards Irina in formations.

  Cthulhu let out a sickening sound before wiggling towards Mag. Ice shattered along its

  path.

  The struggle in Rankster’s eyes was gone, and a patch of red replaced it. Furthermore, his power seemed to be enhanced as he attacked Mag crazily.

  Mag retreated as he battled. At the same time, he shouted at Irina, Merante, and Noah. “You guys leave first!”


  Mag was feeling grave. He didn’t expect to meet Cthulhu when checking out an ice cave.

  Or perhaps, this had always been a trap that Cthulhu had set from them, and they jumped into it themselves.

  Mag wasn’t Cthulhu’s match now, and he only had a 50% chance of winning Rankster. The problem that he had to consider was how to escape and avoid being controlled by Cthulhu and becoming a puppet like Rankster. “Ah Zi, go pick him up!” Irina raised her magic caster’s staff, and loudly chanted, “Holy Light, eliminate those evils!”


  Glaring Holy Light shot out, and dozens of flying ancient corpses turned to dust. The sky turned clear.

  Howl…


  The purple-striped griffin let out a howl, and spat out a lightning ball as it dashed towards Mag.

  Right then, Cthulhu suddenly turned towards them, and flapped its wings.

  Countless black whirlwinds appeared out of nowhere, and ripped space apart. They blocked the purple-striped griffin and gradually surrounded it.

  Slash!

  The black whirlwinds tore open the tough scales of the purple-striped griffin. Just them touching the griffin could tear a big wound open.

  The purple-striped griffin was in pain, and it swiftly turned around to avoid the black whirlwinds that had almost formed a wall.

  Irina applied healing magic onto Ah Zi while coldly instructing, “Avoid them!”


  Ah Zi transformed into a purple bolt of lightning, and dashed towards Mag again from the side, but it was blocked by the whirlwinds, and wasn’t able to break through. Merante used his ghost saber to slash the ancient corpses that appeared behind them stealthily, and said in a low voice, “We have to leave right now. We won’t be able to leave if he really starts to attack us.”


  Noah was already completely in a daze with the Buddha jumps over the wall in his arms. He became a completely useless bystander.

  “No matter what, we have to bring him along with us.” Irina looked at Cthulhu, who was wiggling towards Mag, and closed her eyes.

  Irina’s body slowly rose up and hovered in the air.

  The golden-red dot at her glabella began to light up, and a tiny golden tree pattern appeared within the red dot. It looked exactly like the Tree of Life.

  A faint green beam of light flew over from the horizon, and landed on her glabella.

  Irina opened her eyes, and her aura grew stronger and stronger.

  “Grandpa, why do I feel that she looks a little different?” Noah sort of regained his wits, and he stared at Irina, who was hovering in midair, with bewilderment. “She’s borrowing the power of god.” Merante was also looking at Irina with shock.

  “God of Light, please bestow me with the power to eradicate this evil presence and cleanse all dirt and sins!”


  Irina raised her magic caster’s staff up.

  A crack was torn open in the dark sky. A beam of golden light landed on Irina and illuminated her.

  Irina’s aura grew stronger again. Her whole body was engulfed by the Holy Light. She looked just like a god that one couldn’t look straight at.

  Cthulhu’s gigantic body slowed down gradually, and then turned to face Irina.

  The body that was covered with scales glittered with red light as though little eyes were staring at Irina.

  “Holy Light, judge this evil! Let everything return to calmness!”


  Irina pointed to her magic caster’s staff at Cthulhu. A huge beam of Holy Light shot out and rushed towards Cthulhu.

  The black evil aura collided with the Holy Light, making a sound of something being corroded. Cthulhu’s body was engulfed by the Holy Light, and it actually began to shudder.

  “It’s working!” Noah exclaimed with joy.

  Merante didn’t appear too optimistic. Instead, he said to the purple-striped griffin, “We’d better back up a little and take this chance to go through the whirlwinds.”


  The purple-striped griffin seemed to understand his words, and it immediately swooped down. It found a gap that was close to the ground, and it went through it, almost touching the ground. It went straight towards Mag.

  Tsk tsk…


  Cthulhu made a sound that seemed like shattered glass rubbing against each other. Endless black evil aura gushed out, and eliminated all the Holy Light that engulfed him.

  The giant bat wings flapped slowly, lifting his huge body off from the ground. His body wiggled, and a black tentacle emerged from his abdomen. It stabbed towards Irina.

  “Oh no!”


  Mag parried Rankster away. He paled as he watched that tentacle stabbed towards Irina.

  Rankster was holding him back. Mag couldn’t help Irina block that attack at that moment at all.

  Meanwhile, Irina seemed to have remained in that state after she borrowed power that didn’t belong to her.

  “Scram!”


  Mag sent Rankster flying with one strike before tossing the Tian Du sword out with all his might.

  Swish!

  The Tian Du sword turned into a flash of light, and flew towards the tentacle that stabbed at Irina.

  It was too late.

  Mag’s heart dropped to the freezing point.

  Cthulhu’s speed was faster than his. He had no way to slash that tentacle off before it reached Irina.

  The golden light in Irina’s eyes began to dissipate, and then she saw the tentacle right in front of her.

  Right at that moment, a silver light tore open the space, and went straight through the top of the tentacle.

  At the same time, a loud bang of gunshot resounded.
