The holy golden flames quickly began melting the ice, as all the people frozen were instantly brought back to life. They were all gasping for air, wondering what was happening. We even gathered those that were broken apart when frozen, and put them back together, when the flames touched them, they were back to normal very quickly as well.
"T-This is a miracle of our goddess ancestor! Brunhild!"
"Our Dragon Goddess, thank you!"
"She has such a power?"
"Amazing… this is incredible…"
"Our guardian, we are so glad you're alive!"
Many dwarves all began kneeling before her, Brunhild felt slightly embarrassed.
"W-What? Don't prostrate yourselves please! I am just doing you all a small favor." She sighed. "Anyways, Maria, take this."
She quickly conjured her divine powers, concentrating them into a red-colored orb made of crystalized divine power.
"This is an Orb of Purifying Flames. Use it with the people back in your town, those that were frozen long ago, and they should be back as well." Said Brunhild. "At the end, the freezing curse is a curse that can only be overcome by an equally powerful fire."
"Thank you, Brunhild." I sighed, giving her a tight hug and a kiss in her cheek. "Alright, we're going now, everyone!"
"Alright!" Lucifer said. "Thanks a lot for that, big sis! Maybe we can finally bring back the descendants of the survivors of the Demon Kingdom!"
Lucifer was the happiest. One of the reasons he had been so sad finally had a solution within our grasp. We simply had to get there, stop the invasion of the enemy army, and revive everyone that had been frozen!
We quickly sat over Lucifer's back, as I used my shadows to wrap us up really tight and safe, and then he quickly took off into the skies, flying through the mountains and into our home. I hope everyone's alright, my Egos should already be getting almost there!
While Maria hurriedly made her way back home. A gigantic metal slime, Mercury, protected the entire city by spreading his body like a gigantic metallic dome, stopping the army of frozen monsters from advancing any further. His metallic body was very resistant to all elements, the ice these monsters wielded couldn't affect him.
And in the middle of the battlefield, a tall humanoid ant, Lancelot, was fighting against hundreds of monsters at once, commanding his army of Undead Abyssal Ants, they tore apart the invaders mercilessly.
"It is good I managed to make my way here quickly." He sighed in relief, looking at the distance.
Hundreds of frost monsters of all shapes and sizes kept coming. And behind them, larger figures that had yet to act were watching, slowly getting closer. The Rank of these monsters were mostly up to B Rank, someone as strong as Lancelot who had been created out of a powerful Abyssal Ant Knight was more than capable of stopping them.
But not to defeat them all… He was strong, but he was only one. Thankfully, there were other Undead in this fight. A gigantic two-headed beast with the body of a black panther and the head of a crow and a black lion, big wings and six arms with the tail of a snake, it was Kuro and Raven, who were fighting on the frontlines.
After being repaired many times and then finally leveling up and evolving, Kuro had gone through a great transformation, now becoming an incredibly strong chimeric undead beast of A Rank! With Lancelot, the two slain many B Rank monsters that got closer to the ruins that had become their home.
Kuro furiously swung his four front limbs, two of them belonged to him and the other two being sharp claws coming from Raven, who had been fused into him to enhance his powers even more.
SLAAASH! SLAAAASH! SLAAAAAASH!
Three gigantic and all destroying slashes of darkness erupted from his attacks, devastating the area and shattering the ground while cutting down hundreds of monsters. Even the B Rank monsters were incapable of resisting, being cut down to pieces.
"GRRRRRHHHH…!" However, Kuro and Raven quickly noticed a dozen more monsters coming, running at them. These were all A Rank instead, even stronger and tankier. He would need to go a bit more intense against them.
Both of his heads opened, gathering darkness and death energy and his mana, as the two heads unleashed a double beam of [Abyssal Death Darkness], one of Kuro and Raven's strongest Skills.
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!
The enormous explosion spread across the enemy lines, devastating the A Rank Monsters, all of the B Rank beasts, and anything below them was simply turned into ashes.
"GRAARGH!" However, Kuro groaned in frustration, more and more monsters kept coming.
And not only that. At the other side of the battlefield which he couldn't cover, there were more monsters coming, commanded by the Frost Generals that have decided to completely destroy Maria's home while she was in the dwarf country.
"Move, my beasts! Tear them all apart! Gahahaha! Once we manage to get through the walls, it'll be all over!" Laughed a barbarian-looking white wolf beast man.
With only a single blue eye, while the other was missing, covered in an eyepatch. It was as tall as four meters, muscular and strong looking, resembling more of a werewolf than a beast-man.
He commanded an army of ten thousand Wolf Monsters, many of them being B Rank and with dozens of leaders being A Rank. Alongside them, there were also many other werewolves looking just as barbarian-like as him.
However, a giant skeleton wearing black armor and holding a gigantic black sword emerged, falling from the skies as it jumped off the walls.
It was nobody else than Darkbound. His shadows spread out, as hundreds of skeleton warriors and skeleton knights surged at his side, one of his newest abilities [Undead Legion], which allowed him to summon some of Maria's Undead she had left for him.
"Hoh… So a mere skeleton wearing armor dares get in the way of the Pack of Wolves of the South?" Laughed the White Werewolf. "I guess you're bold enough to fight me, Claw, the King of the South Wolves and-"
Darkbound didn't knew how to speak, so he wasn't going to humor his opponent, immediately jumping to battle, swinging his gigantic sword!
However… Claw not only managed to intercept his sword with his bare claws, but he did so very easily. A sword that could cut through almost anything so easily!
"Oi, oi, be more patient, I haven't even ended my damn introduction, you fuckhead!" Roared Claw, growing crazier as his hands touched Darkbound's skull, crushing him down into the ground!
CRACK… CRACK… CRAAASH!
The ground below the Undead was shattered apart, as his bones were barely holding the enormous force of Claw!
"Hahahaha! That's what a shithead like you gets!"
However, Darkbound gave him back the favor with a powerful punch in the face, throwing the werewolf to the ground!
