Chapter 1669: Surprise gift
Lex felt It observing him, but he didn’t do much to stop it. Instead, he allowed Fenrir to stretch its legs a bit. As new wraiths emerged from beneath the glacier, Fenrir readied its attack.
The two fields it excelled in were stealth and ice, so fighting atop a glacier was like giving it a home advantage. The inheritance he had gotten was almost as if it was tailor made for him, perfectly blending those two elements and creating something extremely sinister.
But that inheritance was actually for a race called the Polar Scythe race, which meant that no matter what, Fenrir wouldn’t be able to display its peak strength. That, however, was a concern for later. For now, it was more than sufficient for him.
Fenrir pounced, and it was as if his entire body turned into snow, mixing with the blowing wind and disappearing. Even Lex, who sat upon Fenrir’s back, seemed to have disappeared. Yet Fenrir was not truly gone, as became evident soon enough.
The wind was like a scythe, cutting the wraiths in half, leaving behind cuts that began to freeze their otherwise ghostly bodies. Soon, the wraith corpses became frozen statues so cold that even the glacier underneath was affected.
One, one hundred, one hundred thousand cuts slashed at the wraiths, their range as vast as the heavens. Where the wind existed, so too did the lethal blade. Where the wind was absent, soft specks of snow fell, bringing the wind with it.
But such a scene did not go on for long, for the waterfall was close to the castle to begin with. All it took was a couple of jumps for Fenrir to reach his destination, so when he reappeared, the silent attacks faded, and the wind returned to how it was.
But though Fenrir was formidable, the horrors of Abaddon were endless. It could not be understated just how terrifying a place Abaddon was. The only reason they lived was because only Earth Immortals deigned to attack them, and not stronger abominations.
Even It only appeared as an Earth Immortal itself, though Lex was entirely certain that It was much stronger.
