Man on the ark, forced to become king

Magellan was stunned. His gaze darted back and forth between Gavial's vertical pupils and the crocodile's tail, finally settling on the staff that resembled a long-handled mace. A question mark slowly formed in his mind.

?

If she wasn't mistaken, this should be an Adakris?

These days, even crocodiles can be doctors?

Moreover, the shape of such a subtle staff is hard not to make one think...

Thinking of this, Magellan immediately waved his hands repeatedly: "Let's not bother, I think I'm fine, really fine!"

“That won’t do. Whether there’s a problem or not isn’t up to you, it’s up to me.” Gavial withdrew his hand, and Magellan then noticed that the hand had just been on her shoulder, with a faint golden light flowing on its surface.

No wonder she had felt a warm current flowing through her body; it wasn't an illusion, but some kind of healing spell.

So he really is a doctor...

Realizing that the person in front of her was indeed a doctor, Magellan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then she felt her neck being grabbed. She tried to break free, but sadly discovered that the arm was as if it were made of steel, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't budge it.

I want to escape, but I can't.

……

"Huang, calm down. Don't let your instincts control your thinking. Learn to find opportunities, otherwise your attack commands will become an obstacle for your comrades."

"Mudrock, use your spells to restrict its movement. A qualified heavy-armored operator must learn to distract the enemy and create opportunities for the rest of the team."

"Chen, Qiu Bai, in team combat, you should precisely control your attack direction and range, and avoid affecting others. Try to concentrate your strength on one point."

The magical glow that had covered the snow quietly dissipated, and Saria, who had been overseeing the entire battlefield, watched over the whole situation and gave instructions in an orderly manner.

The monster that attacked Magellan had the bizarre ability to conceal its form and influence emotions and consciousness. It was also quite powerful and destructive. However, overall, it should still be within her control. Therefore, she did not intend to take action and chose to leave the opportunity for the younger generation to gain experience, while she stood by and held the line, preparing for any unexpected events in the battle.

This was originally a very correct decision—provided that there was only one enemy.

hold head high! !

The howling winds that have been blowing across the ice field suddenly intensified, swirling in from all directions with a piercing whistle.

Under the light, the snow surface, which was pure white, looked as if ink had been splashed on it, giving it a gray hue.

The erosion is spreading.

The intangible is approaching.

The subtle noise was masked by the wind, but Saria's intuition, honed through countless battles, allowed her to react instantly. She lifted the shield she was holding on the ground with one hand and rammed it into the empty space to the side.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, the ground trembled slightly, and the force applied to the shield sent the invisible enemy flying, leaving a skid mark several meters long on the snow.

As the shield was swung, a spell, so skillful it had become instinctive, took shape, pulling an area of ​​tens of meters in radius into the calcified zone.

"Gavial! Use your area-of-effect healing prayer!"

"okay!"

While Gavial was 'friendly interacting' with Magellan, she pulled the penguin girl into her arms the moment the wind picked up. Her muscular and agile body unleashed an agility and speed that most medical operators did not possess. By the time Saria gave the order, she had already brought Magellan within a few meters. She immediately raised her arm, and the two-finger holy mark hanging on her wrist shone with a bright golden light.

Prayer, Great Restoration!

Golden ripples spread outwards from her, like water flowing on snow. The double ring pattern formed by the secret script emerged from the light and expanded outwards. The stream of light formed by the prayer drifted like a comet, spinning and flying, crashing into the invisible thing hidden in the air, exploding into fireworks-like fragments.

The golden light, carrying immense vitality and capable of easily healing severe injuries, fell upon the concealed enemy's body, like hot water poured into ice and snow, stirring up a large cloud of black mist. The pungent, burnt smell spread with the help of the gale, making one feel nauseous.

"Come to me!"

The thin enamel outlined hunched human figures in the surrounding air, and the magical glow became even more dazzling, forming the most solid defense.

There are many, and the number is still increasing; there are at least twenty or more...

Having roughly assessed the number of enemies, Saria narrowed her eyes, slapped away another invisible monster with her shield, her bandaged arm piercing the air, grabbing the outlined enemy by the neck, pinning him to the ground, and then slamming her hand down again. The enamel blade sliced ​​into the ground, severing the enemy's head.

When facing a beast that acts on instinct, you only need to see its weakness, avoid its strength, and then deliver a fatal blow to end the battle—simple and efficient.

Supporting this skill is the experience accumulated from countless battles, which is not difficult for Saria.

Even if the enemy numbers are not small, wild beasts are just wild beasts and are not worth worrying about.

What we really need to care about is what's hidden behind it all.

What is it that is driving these twisted beings, which lack even intelligence, to attack the research station?

The air was thick with a nauseating stench, and the black smoke from the golden light mixed with the howling wind added a layer of mist to the already dark night.

From that cold, desolate darkness, Saria sensed a tremendous threat, not clear, but definitely present.

Something still lurks in the shadows, watching her.

No, not... not now, not nearby...

Rather...something much more distant...

The waving arm suddenly stopped, and the color in his eyes quietly dimmed.

Chaos... darkness... whispers... Saria suddenly awoke, finding herself seemingly immersed in cold, dark water, unable to see or hear anything.

She seemed to be falling, plummeting into an even deeper, boundless abyss...

"Wake up!"

In the darkness, a golden light shone forth, like a giant blade cleaving through the abyss, pulling Saria out from within.

Familiar physical sensations returned to her senses, and as her vision cleared, Saria was astonished to find that it was already daylight.

As the snow melted, human-shaped torches burned amidst wails, unable to move an inch, struggling in agony until they turned to ashes.

The darkness receded, and what illuminated the earth was not the familiar sun, but a corner of the massive tree canopy.

The shadow of the golden tree shimmered on the ice plains of the far north, its nested rings etched into the void. Just one glance was enough to make Saria's brain tremble. When she looked up again, the complex ring structure had become a blur, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not make it out.

In front of the ring-shaped structure imprinted with the void is a throne cast from white stone, upon which sits the king who rules over gold. He is not an embodiment of power, but a real, tangible being.

Compared to human size, the throne is much larger, but Lin Lu, sitting on it, does not appear small. On the contrary, her figure is incredibly tall and majestic, transcending the simple concept of size. Looking at her, it is as if she is gazing at some incomprehensible, enormous thing.

"interesting."

On the throne, Lin Lu leaned against the projection of the golden tree, her eyes turning pure gold as she gazed towards the far north beyond the ice plains.

He didn't create such a grand spectacle, even summoning the projection of the Great Golden Tree, because he had nothing better to do than show off in front of others; he wasn't that bored.

The reason for doing this is that something seems to have gone too far, almost crossing the line... no, it has already crossed the line.

Gazing at the deep abyss beyond the limits of his vision, Lin Lu felt that he had figured out part of the origin of the 'alien demons', and he probably had a clue about the sudden outbreak of the divine calamity and the demon invasion from Yan Kingdom.

The source of everything is the polar regions beyond civilization, where he 'saw' another world, or rather, a world after destruction?

Perhaps "abyss" would be a more apt description; in any case, it's nothing good.

No wonder this world rejects the existence of evil spirits; those things are plunderers who invaded Terra from another dimension.

They come with pure malice, attempting to drag the world into destruction. This is no longer simply a matter of opposing existing civilization; the very existence of evil is the enemy of the entire world.

It's somewhat like epilepsy, only the manifestation is different.

Aside from pure madness, no one would like something that aims at pure destruction, and Lin Lu is no exception. He is the King of Gold, not the King of Mad Fire who represents destruction.

So after noticing the anomaly here, he immediately teleported his main body over, preparing to confront something hiding in the polar region head-on—in fact, he wasn't entirely sure if there was an intelligent being like an Outer God inside, but it's always good to be prepared for the worst.

Regardless of the situation, he couldn't allow the demons to continue infiltrating the ice plains. If he wanted to cause trouble for Ursus, he had to be careful not to go too far. He didn't want to find that while there was still a battle going on in front of him, he would turn around and find that half of Ursus had been corrupted by demons. That would be a real mess.

"In short, let's seal this place off first."

After waiting for a while, Lin Lu was a little surprised to find that there was no movement as expected, but she did not give up her prepared actions. The projection of the golden tree behind her illuminated half of the sky, and a thick branch drooped down and broke off on its own.

"You may only go this far, but you may not go any further."

The throne hangs high, backed by a colossal tree supporting the sky. The king who rules over gold raises his arm, and a muffled thunderous sound rolls across the heavens. Broken branches fall from the sky to the earth, shattering with a crash. A river of pure gold flows through the ice and snow, drawing a conspicuous boundary on the icy plain.

The emblem representing the Golden Law is imprinted in the void, appearing and disappearing, its veins resembling tree branches extending to both sides, lighting up and extinguishing like breathing, in a continuous cycle.

"Three thousand meters should be enough."

The shadow of the golden tree behind her slowly faded away, and the throne symbolizing the king also disappeared into nothingness. Lin Lu changed her standing posture, scanned the golden tree seal that stretched across the ice field from left to right, and nodded in satisfaction.

The Golden Tree seal is three thousand meters long, which seems sufficient for now.

Of course, he couldn't possibly draw a seal across the entire border of Ursus with a single finger. Not only did he not have that ability now, but even if he did, it wouldn't be such a waste.

Moreover, he wasn't Ursus's babysitter; Golden Tree wouldn't interfere with matters that were their own to resolve.

The purpose of this seal is to sever the influence of evil forces in this most polluted region, preventing them from extending their reach into civilization.

Many other matters will have to wait until after the war with Hai Si is over.

The seal is ultimately just a temporary measure and cannot exist forever. After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days.

Rather than trying to solve problems one after another, he prefers to eliminate the root cause of the problem and solve it once and for all.

The only headache is that there are just too many problems in this world.

Chapter 265 Magellan: Am I unemployed?

"what?"

From being carried by Gavial to Saria's side, to the sudden attack by many of those monsters, and finally to a powerful figure instantly resolving the battle and creating a spectacle, it all sounds complicated, but in reality, it all happened in just a few minutes.
