Chapter 158 - The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen
Once the Frozen Spirit Foxes sensed Azaroth's overbearing aura, they couldn't help but turn towards their Queen. She was the strongest among them, and only she could defeat this human.
Even the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen was hesitant to fight Azaroth. The aura she sensed flare up her instincts.
She was sure that fighting this human would result in great losses on both ends. Thus, the Fox sent a spiritual message to Azaroth, "Human, leave this place, and I won't follow you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Azaroth observed this Frozen Spirit Fox Queen.
A typical Frozen Spirit Fox was snow-white in color with the same colored tail. However, the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen had a golden symbol on her forehead. In the language of the beasts, it meant King.
This was not the symbol that stated her cultivation rank. Instead, this symbol indicated that her bloodline was superior compared to her underlings.
Another difference was that instead of a single tail, the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen possessed twin tails.
Azaroth replied to the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen with a thin condescending smile, "Stop me if you can."
Suddenly, his figure vanished.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen immediately looked around and saw that Azaroth was actually moving towards the Moonlit Snow Lotus while ignoring her.
She was instantly infuriated and moved towards Azaroth with a quick burst of speed.
Even though she had the Ice Element, her lineage was equally proficient in speed. Furthermore, compared to the distance between Azaroth and the Moonlit Snow Lotus, the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen and the Moonlit Snow Lotus were much closer.
Once she got close to the Moonlit Snow Lotus, the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen immediately encased it in Ice to prevent it from being damaged.
She knew that since this human was determined to get this Lotus, he wouldn't hesitate to attack her.
If the Moonlit Snow Lotus was damaged at that time, it would be disastrous for their race.
It was only because of this Moonlit Snow Lotus's Aura that she could awaken her bloodline.
Moonlit Snow Lotus's aura had also succeeded in strengthening the power of her race to the extent that they were the lords of this territory.
Their direct rivals, those Boreal Mountain Bears Race, also had a Beast Lord among them. But because of the rare bloodline possessed by the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen, he couldn't win against the Fox Race despite his superior physical strength.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen shot out some Ice Beams at Azaroth, who flew towards her with a calm look on his face.
As these Ice Beams struck Azaroth's body, they contacted a golden aura around his body and were automatically deflected in other directions.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen was slightly shocked as she saw that her attacks were deflected so effortlessly.
She regained her composure and then congealed Ice on her twin tails. She flung out her twin tails at Azaroth as soon as he came into range. Ice erupted from her tails, extending the length of her tails.
Azaroth could feel the cold temperature of the ice even though they were still separated by some distance. He knew that his Aura Barrier wouldn't be able to deflect this Ice.
Instantly, Ice Element shot out of Azaroth's eyes, and it completely annihilated Frozen Spirit Fox Queen's Ice on her Twin Tails.
Azaroth acquired this Ice Element after he created his new body and used his Demon God's Blood.
His body innately possessed the Ice Element in his previous life, and when he created this new body, he had reacquired it.
Even though the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen's Ice Abilities had strengthened quite a bit because of the Moonlit Snow Lotus, how could they be compared to the intensity of Ice Element Azaroth's Demon God's Blood possessed?
There was simply no match between them! Azaroth's Ice suppressed Frozen Spirit Fox Queen too greatly.
And before the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen understood this fact, Azaroth punched her away quite strongly.
He wasn't planning to kill her right now.
If he did kill her, then this Frozen Spirit Fox Race wouldn't be able to trouble the Black Lake Sect's disciples at all.
He wanted them to atleast kill a few of their disciples while the elders were busy dealing with the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen.
Azaroth could deal with the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen because his Ice Element directly suppressed her abilities.
There was no way those elders could get this result as well. At that time, the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen would be furious and fight against them with more than her full power.
By the time the other Frozen Spirit Foxes realized that their queen had been flung away, Azaroth had already touched the Ice that encased the Moonlit Snow Lotus.
Soon, the Ice dispersed and revealed the beautiful Moonlit Snow Lotus.
Azaroth didn't hesitate in plucking this beautiful Moonlit Snow Lotus and then flying away.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen glared at him furiously and charged at him with her quickest pace.
She launched multiple Ice Beams, but Azaroth dodged them all by a quick burst of speed.
Before long, he disappeared from the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen's vision.
However, the direction in which he ran was firmly remembered by the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen.
She immediately returned to her territory and informed her fellow underlings to go and investigate that direction.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen urgently wanted to catch that human and retrieve the Moonlit Snow Lotus from him.
Azaroth returned to the encampment, and he met up with Tiana in her lodgings.
He told her that she had to be prepared for an attack from the Frozen Spirit Fox Race. She had to hide her capabilities while fighting against these foxes.
Only if the situation turned dire could she use her true abilities to kill these Frozen Spirit Foxes.
Meanwhile, the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen soon received the news that there was a human settlement nearly hundreds of miles away.
With bloodshot eyes, she immediately gathered all the Frozen Spirit Foxes that were in fighting condition and ordered them to attack the human settlement.
If she had known about this human settlement earlier, she would have formed a clever plan to destroy this human settlement. Maybe inform the Boreal Mountain Bear Clan and use them to destroy this human settlement.
But there was a huge possibility that the human who stole the Moonlit Snow Lotus was in this settlement.
If the Boreal Mountain Bear Clan discovered that Moonlit Snow Lotus, they would definitely keep it for themselves.
And fighting those brutes in their own area was something the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen wanted to avoid.
Thus, she had decided to attack the human settlement with her own race. She believed that the strength and number of experts in her Fox Race would be more than enough to annihilate the humans in this settlement.
However, the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen had no idea that the humans in this settlement had all come to this place to annihilate her race and grab hold of the Moonlit Snow Lotus.
They were more than prepared to battle it out with the Frozen Spirit Fox Race.
They were only worried that if the Frozen Spirit Fox Race came to know about their motive, the beasts would destroy or eat the Moonlit Snow Lotus.
Although its effect would be a temporary gain in strength, they would be able to prevent it from falling into a human's hands.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen had no idea that fighting these humans was a terrible move on her part!
