Chapter 187: Winter Is Coming [6]



***

Amon had a troubled look on his face as he saw the storm approaching from afar.

It was only a couple of minutes away from him.

The Warm Shelter wasn't the problem for him anymore.

He already knew where it was now.

It wasn't in the safe circles.

It never was.

'That underground tunnel...'

That's where it was.

Since the tunnel was underground, it wouldn't be affected by the Blizzard.

And by traveling through it, he would probably arrive somewhere inside the Warm Shelter. And though it would be right in the middle of the Blizzard, it wouldn't be harmed at all.

After all, Maxville had said so from the start.

'It wouldn't be affected by the cold.' Amon repeated his words.

The winning path was in front of them from the start.

There was only one problem now...

And it was a big one.

To reach those doors, he had to go through the Blizzard again.

Since the cold didn't affect him by much, Amon knew he could hold out several minutes in the Blizzard.

Even more, if he used his Herald Skills and elements.

Unlike before, of course, he couldn't use his marble skill.

No matter how hard he tried to make the marble, it would either get blown away or destroyed.

So that left him with only one way, to pass through it.

Fortunately, he just had a partner to help him with this.

'Will need your help Zeph.'

[Was waiting for you to do that.] She replied to him from his shoulder before jumping down. And immediately, her wolf body gave off its fur as her body started to emit smoke.

Her structure started to morph as well, covered by the black clouds of smoke that were being produced in a large amount.

Her size started to grow large and multiple spots of her body started to turn ash black. And within a minute...

Zephyra had transformed into her complete form.

She screeched into the cold terrain, the ground rumbling from the sheerness of it.

***

[After 20 Minutes]

[I see it.] Zephyra told him.

'Great. Lower yourself slowly.' He told her and she obliged, slowly lowering herself while maintaining her position in the storm winds.

It was a hard journey with Amon's mana almost depleted.

Jumping on the ground, Amon immediately felt the impact of the winds hit him, throwing

him forward.

Fortunately, Zephyra was there to spread her wings around him as a covering, allowing him to stabilize his balance.

He created a blood shield around her as well, to keep her safe before looking at the doors.

He took a step through the heavy resistance.

And then more and more.

Before he finally reached the door.

Immediately, he wrapped his blood strings around the handle before letting go of himself.

The force from the strong winds immediately pushed the doors apart with a little force given

by Amon.

They completely broke off, flying away into the wind.

'I'll head inside first.' Amon said before taking another step and jumping in the tunnel. Then, he tied several strong blood strings to Zephyra before telling her to transform back. And as soon as she turned back to her wolf form, she was also blown away by the wolf. Fortunately, Amon immediately pulled the strings, getting her into the tunnel as well. As she landed into his arms, her form immediately started to shiver from the cold. Noticing it, Amon cut off a part of his blazer before wrapping it around her with a coating of

blood.

[Thanks.] She thanked him.

He smiled back,

'No problem.'

Vain, who was wrapped around his neck, instantly complained.

[Hey! No clothing for me!? Snakes also suffer from the cold you know?]

Amon waved his hand.

'You a man, like you said before so act like one. Stop complaining.'

Vain. who had his own words flipped back at him, stared at Amon in disbelief.

While Zephyra who was comfortably perched upon his shoulder, chuckled and smirked at him.

[Suffer.]

Vain hissed venemously at her.

[Shut up lady.]
