Chapter 114: Ice Queen

Ashura sensing the incoming explosion retracted itself back into Lex who had launched himself off the mountain but the blast was too big to be avoided from where he was as he was flung like a ragdoll from the strong shock wave.

Lex was thrown a few kilometres away and crashed down like a meteor onto the side of a nearby mountain.

Instantly Lex vomited out a curdle of blood from the impact of such a large explosion and the crash.

"Just like how I was found in my past life" chuckled Lex to himself.

Looking over at the peak of the tallest mountain that he battled the beast on and was instantly shocked as the top half of the mountain had been completely decimated as the rubble caused avalanches around the mountainous region that was still shaking from the impact.

The large explosion was a massive commotion on all the countries on the continent and could be seen by most who didn't have their vision of the highest mountains blocked off.

Lex felt a sudden sensation of something entering his mind and when he realised what it was he could help but scream in joy.

He after battling his final beast in the mountainous region, gained a Beast Power.

Quickly checking what kind of Beast Power it was he was overjoyed when he saw there was an ice leopard stood within his Beast Power library.

"It must be a summoning Beast Power" he screamed elated by his reward.

However, the first thought that came to his mind wasn't to keep it but to give it to the girl he knew that had the best affinity with ice.

Hearing the current state he was in, he couldn't help but have a wide smile as he saw his progress, but his mind was still empty and the smile felt false without any true emotion behind it.

"I will recover then go and look for Angela" he decided as he removed himself from the mountain-side he was embedded into and found somewhere to cultivate as he sat cross-legged.

Meanwhile, in the past 6 months, Lex wasn't the only one to have improved massively and the name of the ice queen resounded throughout the Earth Country.

Hearing there was a country called Earth on a continent, that was the size of multiple planets, initially shocked Lex, but to everybody else, it was merely the name of a country that was known as the weakest of the 5 countries on the Uster Continent because of its smaller size and less wealth.

However, it had the most desirable leader, to the masses, that didn't call himself a royal and as the strongest man took the role of leadership.

Unlike all the other countries there weren't walls to segregate the different parts of the country and only had a single wall that circled around the country for protective measures and still had massive farms and villages around the walls for poor farmers that trade their crops for wealth and knew they wouldn't be abused or mistreated outside the Earth Country.

It was a safe haven for those who were willing to work hard and had opportunities, yet the disparity between the rich and the poor and the strong the weak was omnipresent in the entire world and couldn't be avoided even in the Earth Country that also had areas of slums, but compared to other countries there were hardly any slums.

But Earth also had the simple jobs of farming foods and animals that most other countries didn't have in abundance and all the countries had a slight interdependence between each other and just like every other country, it was infiltrated by the Voltiac Guild that was growing in power day by day and was a hidden lion waiting to pounce on the countries that were its prey.

If there was a full-blown war between the royals and the Voltiac Guild, blood would flow throughout the continent and both sides would suffer immensely with most of the population being killed in the process.

Angela who had barely managed to escape from her pursuers from the Aria country who were searching for Lex under the orders of Mason, had also entered a reclusive retreat under the instruction of the Jade Empress, who was sustaining her soul and residing in the mysterious bracelet that she passed onto Angela, and was being sustained by her energy.

Lex's environment he entered was merely cold because of it being at a high altitude, whereas Angela's environment became cold because of the methods she was cultivating.

She entered a cave that was closer to the Earth Country than Aria Country and began to cultivate calmly with her insatiable thirst for strength to prove herself and help Lex, as he had previously helped and saved her multiple times, and also get her revenge on those in the Gamma country that drove her away.

The entire reality seemed to be flowing completely different from the way Lex had seen it in his past reality and was now unsure of what to expect and what was coming his way, but the one thing he was sure of and always had been was that he must gain more strength.

Angela exited her seclusion from the cave she was in after 4 months and had become a mid level Sky Mortal and could quite easily rival peak level Sky Mortals with her cultivation and her skills.

Leaving the cave the ice all around her shocked her and she didn't know that her cultivation methods had such a large effect on her environment and the entire area around where she cultivated was surrounded with ice.

As she broke past the walls of ice that had formed at the mouth of the cave and all around her there were hundreds of spectators and levellers who had come from Earth Country who heard about the commotion and wanted to see or search for treasures.

When they saw the girl leave, who was wearing a blue dress and also wore a domino mask to keep her identity after sensing the people there, they instantly revered her because of her cold aura and power that they could sense coming from her.

They named her the ice queen and her name spread throughout the Earth Country like wildfire as she went to the Earth Country and everybody moved out of her way for her to enter the centre of the country to go and meet with those of the upper echelon that were Sky Mortals and the leader that was a Heaven Mortal.

It took her half a day of constant full speed travel for her to reach the centre and left an ice trail behind her.

The highest realm that levellers had reached on the Uster continent was the Heaven Mortal realm which is why Lex had decided to leave his seclusion after he reached that realm after he felt that his power was enough to roam the continent.

However, most the few levellers at the Heaven Mortal Rank were part of a either the Voltiac Guild or a royal family, other than the Earth leader.

Angela met with the Earth leader and the rest of those of the upper echelon who initially were worried as she was powerful enough to cause mayhem and was obviously young so were scared of a possible hidden master behind her.

However, they were completely shocked that despite her outward cold nature she actually wanted to join their country in preparation for the inevitable future.

Anybody in their right mind would accept her to join them and after the Earth Leader tested her intentions and what she stood to gain, he also accepted her seeing that she actually didn't want anything from them and merely agreed with the way he led his country.

Angela who had heard about Lex being pursued by royal soldiers by the Jade Empress and knowing how corrupt royals were as well as the Voltiac Guild, who she knew were gaining power and influence too quickly, Angela knew that the support of a massive power was necessary.

Angela and the Earth Country's aims aligned as they were looking for any way to gain support and power and such a powerful, talented and mysterious girl wanting to join them was a miracle and Angela wanted an aim and needed a group behind her in order to be able to help Lex, and would also help her achieve her own aims.

She was provided with a lot of resources and had her own massive manor that she stayed in and was secluded away from people so she wouldn't harm anyone with her methods and managed to break through to becoming a Heaven Mortal with the resources she was being provided and her drive for strength in 2 months.

Her breakthrough sent shockwaves of ice all around her and would have decimated thousands if not for the upper echelon who knew the power and mysteriousness of her methods and after sensing the influx of energy managed to subdue to the shockwave before there were any casualties even though she was in a secluded area.

While they sat together on a table and were having a meeting about the ever-nearing threat of other countries and the Voltiac Guild as the tension between the top powers was increasing and were talking about their next move, until they felt a sudden earthquake and all dashed out of the hall they were in to see the tallest mountain in the mountainous region have its top half completely destroyed.

All of them were worried and thinking there was a beast or secret master that was coming from the mountainous region as it was the second large explosion, but when they turned to the ice queen they saw she had a small smile.
