"One of the legendary Three Sisters... Lissandra, the Frost Witch?"

The man pulled the longsword that had been stuck in the black-clad female mage's abdomen, grabbed her neck with his right hand, and pressed her against the wall behind her.

The black-clad female mage's pupils contracted sharply, her face showing astonishment and panic.

Similarly, Sejuani and the others, who had been searching for the answer, were filled with disbelief.

Kevin casually tossed Lissandra into a corner, his expression grim.

"You old codger, you're the one who's got your hands on the Frostguard clan and caused all this chaos..."

"Tell me, what's the deal with those things in the Howling Abyss? If you satisfy me, you can choose how to die..."

Lissandra's lips were stained with black blood mixed with ice shards as she gasped for breath and groaned hoarsely, resigned to her fate.

But the moment the woman looked up, her clenched right hand immediately unleashed a handful of black ice needles.

Kevin, as if anticipating this, swung his longsword in a circular motion, immediately deflecting dozens of ice needles. Then, with a vicious downward strike, he severed Lissandra's right arm at the root.

However, the woman fell straight down like a chopped-down log, and a cloud of black mist bypassed Kevin, accelerating toward someone's face.

"Puff!"

Amidst the dull thud of a clenched fist, a dark gray shadow twisted and struggled between Hela's pale fingers.

"Trying to play the soul-possession trick on me? That's incredibly stupid..."

The Goddess of Death spoke with disdain, her eyes looking down with a hint of disgust as she examined the insects scurrying between her fingers.

In desperation, Lissandra's spirit emitted a sharp shriek, attempting to enter Hela's body during a moment of distraction.

This was undoubtedly courting death. The Goddess of Death, completely unaffected, suddenly clenched her right hand, instantly shattering Lissandra's soul.

Hela glanced at Kevin, who seemed hesitant to speak, paused, tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and inhaled slightly. The remnants of her soul in her palm were drawn into her body by the Goddess of Death.

A moment later, Hela opened her eyes again, put one hand on her hip, stepped out of the formation, and casually beckoned to Kevin with her right arm.

"Follow me, the ice cave where this insect is hiding is just ahead. The information recorded inside should explain everything..."

Kevin nodded seriously, understanding that this eccentric Goddess of Death was only willing to absorb Lissandra's soul fragments and extract information from them because of him.

As they passed each other, Hela smiled and whispered softly in Kevin's ear.

"Remember, now it's your turn to owe me a favor..."

Immediately, the Goddess of Death swayed her hips with pleasure and swung her Night Sky Sword, slicing open a dark passage.

These days, morals are declining; you'd better find the right person to collect your debts!

Kevin glanced resentfully at Sejuani and the others who were completely unaware behind him, then reluctantly drew his longsword and followed.

Chapter 984, Section 1028: The Dragon Slayer Will Eventually Become a Dragon.

"The North has once again been hit by a massive blizzard; not a single grain of food can be harvested, and many have died..."

"I'm tired of the fairy tale that Freyja is a place protected by the gods, where angels have come, demons have come, and even the legendary gods have vaguely visited..."

"But why do my people pray so fervently time and time again, yet receive no response...?"

"Angels have no pity for mortals, then let me become a god who transcends death! I swear!"

Hexi glanced at the resentful and resolute words on the yellowed parchment and shook her head slightly.

Angels aren't your nannies. Our greatest mercy lies in not interfering with your progress through will and violence, as we exist independently of Freyja's civilization.

Upon reaching an advanced stage of civilization, excessive interference in the evolutionary processes of other planets will inevitably give rise to a sense of contempt and desecration towards life.

Just as Liang Bing pitied the indigenous people of Kunsa Star who were struggling to survive back then, she forcibly interfered with their evolution and used genetic technology to create the so-called demons.

But what was the result? Hundreds of millions of people died during this evolutionary process!

Ultimately, in order to punish the exemplary and uphold the rules of Just Order, Queen Holy Kaisa launched the Heavenly Blade Judgment, which nearly bombarded the entire Kunsa Star, almost wiping out their entire race.

God's gifts often come at a high price.

Therefore, maintaining distance is the most rational approach.

Otherwise, if we enter Freyja, some careless actions could lead to a qualitative change.

In that case, it won't just be hundreds of thousands of people in the North who die!

The mature and rational Angel of Wind casually tossed the parchment filled with resentment back onto the stone platform and continued flipping through the pages.

"My Mental Power is extraordinary; I sometimes enter dreams, and in those dreams, I discover a darkness that is inaccessible to ordinary people."

"The Frostguard Watcher," it calls itself, this murmur that rises from the land where gods and demons fell, echoing in my mind every night...

"In that abyss filled with the unknown aura of death, I glimpsed boundless potential..."

"I want to live, to become the god who controls destiny!"

"This kind of Mental Power infection is exceptionally evil; it's too dangerous for even one person to succumb."

"Avalotha, Serilda, my dear sisters, I have made a pact with those nameless spirits in the joint name of the three of us..."

"Very good, it grants us immortal power and the miracle of survival in extreme weather— the Ice Bloodline..."

What a joke! The Ice Bloodline of the Three Northern Tribes is actually obtained in this way! It's not a gift from gods or demons, but something indescribable.

Moreover, Lissandra's initial defection was a secret act carried out without the knowledge of her two sisters.

The woman's words clearly revealed that her actions were not out of pure familial affection, but rather a malicious attempt to exploit.

The fact that only this Frost Witch is alive now is enough to prove everything.

Sejuani looked at the old parchment with an incredulous expression.

The Grand Duke of the North turned to look at the Frostclaw Knight guarding the gate, secretly glad that he had heeded the Dragon Slayer's advice.

Otherwise, if this revolutionary news were to leak to these soldiers, the entire Winter Fortress could be thrown into turmoil.

At this moment, Kevin flipped through the other parchment he had collected and understood something.

"Things are not looking good. After this sacrifice, that thing seems to have become even more powerful, and more and more people are being affected in their dreams..."

"At the same time, strange natural disasters such as beast tides and magical tides arise, causing people to die every day..."

"But as long as I live, what do I care about the lives of others?"

"Two fools! I shared my blessings with them, and they resented me!"

"Avarosa insists that this is worse than death, because we have brought disaster upon our people..."

Even Serilda was furious. That muscle-bound idiot would rather fight Beast for food than accept this undeserved gift...

Based on his experiences with Skull Island and the Misty Mountains, Kevin deduced that the Cthulhu Creatures' encroachment on the material world required the establishment of Space Anchor.

It seems that the three legendary sisters who made a pact with this indescribable being were the wedge that allowed those monsters to enter Freyja.

The Howling Abyss, a graveyard of gods and demons, is filled with turbulent energy flows, essentially a breach in the World Barrier.

However, Kevin was still puzzled as to why these monsters hadn't swept through the entire Freyja back then, so he immediately turned to the next few pages to read.

"Resistance? As you wish..."

"... Haha, how laughable! These two troublemaking fools have finally succeeded in sacrificing themselves for the great mission of fighting evil."

"They would never have dreamed that the real threat often comes from behind..."

"Thank you all for your sacrifice, my dear sisters and comrades. Without you, I truly don't know if I could have sealed that door to the unknown..."

"The darkness has receded, and I am the final dragon-slaying hero!"

After betraying her sisters, she even sealed away the nameless being who bestowed upon her Ice Bloodline. I've never seen such a traitor so ruthless...

Upon reading the true history, Kevin was speechless and regretted letting the legendary witch die so easily.

The next long section, naturally, is the story of Lissandra's transformation from Dragon Slayer to dragon.

As the sole survivor among the three sisters, she rallied the people to remember her unfortunate sister.

This woman used every available power to search for the remaining magic and miracles of Freyja, frantically rewriting the past to erase her own schemes from the annals of history.

Meanwhile, Lissandra also ordered her unsuspecting Frost Guard to spread the legend of the three sisters saving the North.

And so, the black dragon was completely redeemed and transformed into a legendary hero of the Three Northern Tribes.

After ordering the Frost Guard to keep a close watch on the Howling Abyss, Lissandra remained behind the scenes, becoming the High Priest wielding power within the ice fortress above.

As time went by, this woman continued to kill the next successor, transforming into their appearance to continue her tyrannical rule.

However, man proposes, God disposes. The things in the Howling Abyss were only sealed, not dead. The "True Ice" created by the Frost Bloodline was gradually eroded by darkness.

Now, the ice has melted...

"The Watcher is awake! It saw me!"

These monsters, which could easily enter Lissandra's dreams, filled her with genuine fear, and she could only repeatedly promise eternal allegiance to these indescribable beings in her dreams.

But each time she woke up, she felt that the thing sealed in the ice prison in her dream was constantly getting closer to her.

To suppress her inner fear, Lissandra began to sacrifice the Frost Guardians of her tribe to that nameless being.

She even went so far as to offer generous terms to attract merchants from outside the Frostguard City, making them sacrifices for her survival.

Kevin flipped the parchment over and saw the eerie purplish-red eye pattern on it; his gaze gradually turned cold and sharp.

Chapter 985, Section 1029: It Saw Me!

After learning the truth behind the upheaval within the Frost Guard, even Sejuani, a firm believer in the law of the jungle, despised the actions of the Frost Witch Lissandra.

However, before everyone could form any deep feelings, Hela kicked open a secret door to a hidden room.

The stench of decay wafted from within; broken armor, tattered clothing, and swords stained with slime—all testified to something extraordinary.

The walls on both sides, made of obsidian and solid ice, were covered with bloody scratch marks, and people could even find a few broken fingernails and remnants of human skin among them.

"The Old Ones can complete parasitic development in humans by dispersing plant spores..."

"Of course, a common use for these materials is to insert them into the cellular flesh of the Shoggoth, transforming these two-legged beasts in their eyes into more user-friendly modified organisms..."

Hela tapped her head, bent down and pried open a twisted and deformed skeleton on the ground. From the man's broken chest cavity, she pulled out a lifeless chunk of flesh and crushed it with her bare hands.

Dust swirled and peeked through her fingers. The Goddess of Death flicked her nails in disgust and retreated to Kevin's side.

"It seems that what we dealt with before was a defective product that had already undergone transformation..."

"From now on, there will be no more Frost Guard..."

Kevin glanced around the ice fortress, the horrific sight of humans being raised and slaughtered like livestock filling him with a sense of unease.

Sejuani waved for the Frostclaw Knight behind her to come forward and bury their kin, who had met such a tragic end.

As everyone threw the belongings and remains into the dug ice pit to bury them, Kevin pulled the fatal sapphire hairpin from the throat of one of the skeletons that was being lifted up.

The man traced the Freyja script engraved on the hairpin's handle with his fingertips, then knelt down where the deceased had been lying.

Kevin then reached out and brushed aside a layer of ice shards, revealing a messy, crimson stain underneath.

"You really still keep the habit of writing a diary?" The man shook his head helplessly, memorizing the characters etched in blood.

Hexi glanced deeply at Kevin, who had made these small gestures, and the anger that had been stirred up in her heart was slightly extinguished.

"According to this woman's memory, these ice caves lead to the bottom of the Howling Abyss..."

"Furthermore, she repeatedly mentioned one phrase: 'They come from the void!'"

"Let's go take a look..."

Hela saw the bloodstains and bits of flesh left behind by the mutated monsters climbing the ice cave. Dozens of projectile weapons appeared around her, constantly flying and slicing through the ice, opening up new passages.

After offering a brief prayer for their fellow human beings, Sejuani and the others followed Hela's footsteps into the deepest depths of their fear.

"Boom!"

After advancing over a hundred meters, the crystal-clear ice surface shattered under the digging of projectile weapons.

A ray of hazy sunlight pierced through the misty morning air and shone into the deep valley where everyone was.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already spent the entire night exploring the mountainside.
