681 The Approaching Frost...
—–
Outside the Dwarven City Walls, a cold and chilly wind had begun to become more and more prominent, snow started to fall from the sky, something that hasn’t happened in months in this area of the continent, and the floor was already half-frozen too.
The many guards and soldiers in the outside of the walls living inside the fortresses to protect the city have already begun to feel the winter coming.
“Ugh, is it my idea or has the air been gotten colder this morning?”
“You’re right… usually in here the cold winter from below doesn’t reach us completely. The sky is completely covered by black clouds too, and it is snowing from all things…”
“Oh man, I need a beer to warm up a little!”
“Yeah, I mean- Huh?”
Suddenly, one of the guards on watch noticed something. A silhouette of someone walking towards them. It was a beautiful lady at that, with wide hips and a large chest, her seductive eyes seemed rather enchanting.
“H-Hey, there’s someone coming in the middle of all that?!”
“Lady! Are you alright? Couldn’t you wait until the cold day ended?”
Two guards went to check on her, both were burly dwarves capable of withstanding the cold rather well. however, once they were able to finally see her with detail, they were left… flabbergasted.
A beautiful Snow Elf, a rare tribe of blue-skinned elves that live in the Snowy Lands of Niflheim. Her clothes were quite revealing, and finely made with small ice crystals, and decorated with snowflakes and mountain shapes.
She wore a large blue colored witch hat, decorated finely with blue crystals, and she also had many other shiny accessories all over her body, resembling an enchanting noble lady. Many rings decorated her long and seductive fingers, as her long and sharp nails were painted blue. And she was also walking barefoot, completely unmoved by the cold.
The two dwarves were left flabbergasted by the woman’s beauty.
“L-Lady, are you some sort of noble?”
“Come on, let’s go inside the city, it still might be dangerous if you leisurely walk around the mountain- Huh?”
“Fufufu~”
However, when the two finally realized the lady was smiling at them mockingly, it was too late. Their bodies were already beginning to freeze.
“W-What the- AKH!”
“Eh?! S-She’s..!”
FLAAASH!
Before they could even alert their friends, both of them were turned into frozen statues, left behind by the lady. As behind her, many more silhouettes started appearing, walking tirelessly amidst the storm…
The other guards noticed something was wrong, as they attempted to quickly call for reinforcements… Only for the ice to emerge right below their feet, freezing them one by one consecutively.
The woman smiled evilly, her magic activating seamlessly as she froze anybody in front of her.
“What is going on- AKH!”
“W-We are freezing!”
“R-Run- AAAGH!”
“NOOO!!”
“Heeelp!”
FLAAAASH!
The cold wind continued to expand, everywhere it went, everything froze instantly. The woman continued walking and laughing, sometime later, she started dancing gracefully, everywhere she directed, her magic would generated freezing winds and freeze everything she wanted.
“Ahahaha… HAHAHAHA! So easy! So many statues, so many new friends!” She started to laugh louder. “Frost, perhaps this will be easier than we thought.”
“Hmmm, it does seems to be that way, Zero.” An enormous titanic golem made of hardened ice shaped into the form of a knight emerged behind her.
Both stood in front of the city walls, as Frost slowly began walking directly towards it, raising a massive axe made of ice…
“The Dwarven Country shall fall today!”
CRAAAAAASSSSHHHHH!!!

“Hehe, amazing!” I laughed evilly, equipping the item right away in one of my free fingers. “With this, I’ve got even more Moonlight Essence regeneration.”
With this I felt satisfied, as I walked back to the room where we were sleeping, thinking about what we could have today for breakfast.
But things suddenly went off course as I saw countless souls flying around me. They had detected something and were trying to warn me.
As the Queen of Undead, Souls naturally flock around me and always tell me about stuff, sometimes I can even interrogate them quite easily.
Most souls here resembled the inhabitants, there was a bunch of dwarves as well.
“Lady Ghost, you must hurry!”
“An evil, a frosty evil is approaching!”
“Many! An army! Hurry!”
“We saw it earlier! The soldiers were all frozen like popsicles!”
“They move faster and silence everything, the city has yet to know!”
“Our Queen please help us!”
“Wait what?! Frozen? Are we getting attacked?!” I wondered. “Alright!”
I quickly divided my body into many Phantasmal Clones and sent them out of the city while the others were distributed around, trying to alert most authorities of what was happening. I ran directly towards my room, waking up everybody in a hurry.
But it seemed I was a few seconds too late.
CRAAAAAAAAASSSHHHHH!!!
