295 Chapter 294: Underwhelming.

"What actually happened to this world?" Asmond asked.

"Ice, that's what happened," Jonnastein answered as he kept eating the meat. "As I said earlier, the ice dragon and its master were the ones who did this. It was twenty years ago when the tower appeared. Everything was frozen when we woke up," Jonnastein explained.

"We called that demon the dragon knight. He wore a frozen armor with a frozen shield and a frozen sword," The old man said. "We didn't even get a warning about this, and it happened so fast,"

"I see, but Jonnastein, you said that this happened. Are you saying that this land used to be this low rather than that up high above the glacier?" Rozan asked.

"Yes, this place used to be surrounded by forest and river. Everything was frozen, and we had to dig everything up until we made it like this. I'm not sure if it's similar out there," Jonnastein answered.

Lillith whispered something into Agnez's ear. She was telling everything about the details that she got from reading Jonnastein's memories.

"May I ask? Where did you all come from? You haven't told me about who you are," Jonnastein asked as he wiped his oily fingers.

Gunnar and Asmond explained who they were, and why they were there. Jonnastein couldn't believe it, but they could tell by the attire they were wearing and the gadgets they brought with them.

"I see, and you guys here to kill the Demon Lord. If I may, why don't you all rest for the day here? It's late, and it's warm and we have plenty of rooms here. It's the only thing that I can offer for helping us kill those creatures," Jonnastein said as he stood up and looked at them.

Asmond and the others shared a look, and Jonnastein chuckled as he shook his head.

"Don't worry, we won't do any harm. We are too weak and scared, and we don't eat adults," Jonnastein said.

It didn't help, and it only made things worse because of what Jonnastein said.

"Show us the room, we will accept the offer," Agnez said as she stood up. "You guys can stay outside and find a place to sleep if you don't want it here," Agnez continued as she looked at Asmond with a smirk.

Rufus and the others looked at Asmond, and then Asmond decided to follow Agnez since it would be safer to stay together. They all went to the fifth floor of the castle, and Jonnastein showed the chamber.

"There's only one bed here, and if you want to have a bed, there's a room next door with the same bed," Jonnastein said.

"That bed could fit six people, maybe eight," Rozan said.

"You boys go to the next room, we the ladies will sleep here," Agnez said as she looked at Rozan and the others.

Roxanne and Arum looked at each other, but then Agnez pulled them into the room with her.

"Don't be shy, let's just call it ladies' night," Agnez said.

Mykel scoffed quietly and walked away, but then Agnez grabbed his wrist as well and pulled him into the room.

"Where do you think you're going? You will stay here with us," Agnez said naughtily.

"Don't joke around, and just go to sleep," Mykel said as he removed Agnez's hand from his wrist. "We will be leaving tomorrow early in the morning. Try to get some sleep," Mykel continued as he left the room.

Gerrard and Nagy walked into the hallway the moment they saw Mykel and the others. They looked at the room, and Agnez waved at Nagy to come in while Mykel brought Gerrard to the next room.

The next morning everyone was prepared to leave, and that included Jonnastein and his people. Asmond saw so many pregnant women among them, and he was sickened by the fact Jonnastein and his men used the women to produce babies so they could eat.

They heard stories from those women from Gerrard and Nagy. Of course, everyone was so pissed about it, and they would kill all those men, especially Jonnastein when they had the chance.

"Are we ready to leave?" Jonnastein asked.

"Yes, lead the way," Agnez said.

They all left the castle and followed Jonnastein from behind.

Mykel grabbed Asmond's right shoulder and Agnez's left shoulder. He walked in between those two as he stared at Jonnastein.

"Do you want to kill them?" Mykel asked.

Asmond and his team were shocked when Mykel said that, but Mykel didn't feel guilty or bad for saying that.

"Just tell me when," Agnez said as her eyes were focused on Jonnastein and his men.

"Are you being serious, Mykel?" Asmond asked.

"Why would I be joking around?" Mykel asked back. "I'm asking you if you want him dead for treating those women like livestock. Just because they had to do it, doesn't mean it's okay for them to do something like that," Mykel said.

Asmond didn't know what to say, and he was in a dilemma as to whether he wanted them dead or not. Mykel on the other hand, smiled at Asmond as he chuckled softly.

"Kill them," Mykel said as he patted Agnez's shoulder.

Agnez looked at Lillith and then nodded her head.

They both dashed forward silently and ran past the women. They were startled when they saw those two go past them, and then they saw those two decapitate all the men in front of them.

"Don't feel bad about them, they die a painless death. Also, they deserve it," Mykel said as he patted Asmond's shoulder, and then walked to the front to calm the women.

"Miss Jeanne, are you not scared?" Roxanne asked.

"Scared of what? Mykel?" Jeanne asked back.

Roxanne glanced at Mykel as she nodded her head.

"Hmm, do you want to hear my story about when I was trained by Mykel?" Jeanne asked.

Roxanne and the others gathered around as they all nodded their heads with curiosity. Jeanne then started telling them how cruel Mykel was back then. Asmond was listening to Jeanne's story, and he didn't know that Mykel was really harsh to Jeanne, but it ended up making her the strongest Awakener.

"We're you thinking if you can do something like that to your team, Asmond?" Rozan asked.

"No, I don't think I would even if I was given the chance to do something like that," Asmond answered as he shook his head with a forced smile.

The girls were talking about Mykel since they had the chance to ask Jeane about him. They were curious about what kind of man he was.

"Stop gossiping about Mykel your two. We are already at the end of the tunnel here," Agnez said with her arms crossed.

"Eh? Are we really that loud? I think we talk so quietly though," Roxanne asked, and when she looked at Mykel, he didn't care about it and focused on the site.

Everyone was taking the debris away from the path, and it didn't take long until they could see the other side of the tunnel. They all then walked out of the tunnel and saw everything was covered in ice as well, but they also could see something in the distance.

"The dragon is our way out of this floor, right? So, where is it?" Vincze asked as he looked around.

"Look up," Nagy said.

Everyone lifted their heads and saw something flying around in the sky. It looked like a bird at first, but it got bigger and bigger until they finally realized it was the dragon diving toward them.

A light blue dragon with four legs and giant wings was coming toward them. The scales were so shiny it reflected the sun and blinded them except for Agnez since she wore her black sunglasses.

Agnez drew her sword and lit it with [Hellfire]. She then swung her sword upward releasing the projectile attack with [Hellfire] around it. Gerrard also helped her and shot a few arrows into the sky with [Hellfire] on them.

The dragon maneuvered and dodged the projectile attack and the arrows so easily as it kept diving toward them. The dragon then released a cold breath toward them, but Rozan shot a fire flare into the sky and heated up the air.

The dragon wasn't bothered by the flame and didn't show any sign of stopping, but they didn't see it because of the fire. When they realized it, it was already too late to run away.

"Everyone, watch out!" Gunnar said as he held his shield with both hands.

Gunnar faced the dragon head-on and managed to hold the dragon's feet with his shield.

"Nice try, but you're dead meat now," Gunnar said as he gritted his teeth and held the dragon's whole weight.

Jeanne and Agnez jumped high toward the dragon's head. They both cut the dragon's neck and decapitated it immediately.

The dragon's head fell as the portal appeared in front of them.

"That was, underwhelming," Agnez said as she sheathed her sword.
