Chapter 3792 Ring Sorcerer - Unicorn Ellie
The snake lay prone on the snow, then collided head-on with the icy blue light emanating from Ellie's horn. The snake opened its mouth to try and swallow the energy, but its front half was frozen in the ice.
Just as Ellie approached to smash the snake's body, the snake broke through the ice again and bit at Ellie's neck. But when the snake's mouth closed, it realized that it had bitten a layer of smooth ice.
Ellie transformed into an ice elemental form and began to fight the snake on the cliff, while the cat steadily stood on Ellie's little head. The cat, with its excellent sense of balance, was not thrown off by Ellie's movements.
No one knew that the battle that took place in the snow-capped mountains under the cover of winter night was not a deep-seated feud between the unicorn from the Fifth Age and the even more ancient serpent. Even Ellie herself did not know the reason for the fight.
Ellie was much faster than the black and white serpent, leaving afterimages as she moved along the cliff. Although the serpent possessed a powerful force of destiny, and no matter how Ellie dodged, it always managed to touch the little unicorn's body with its terrifying fangs, Ellie, in her elemental form, could barely resist the damage caused by the fangs thanks to her racial talents.
However, the snake fangs continued to inject Ellie with a venom called "misfortune." Even though the little unicorn, lacking its own ring of fate, possessed a certain degree of resistance to fate for unknown reasons, it still couldn't stop the ever-growing misfortune acting upon it.
Misfortune made it more prone to making mistakes in battle, causing it to be suppressed by Orochi despite having a speed advantage.
Fortunately, unicorns are born with a luck that other races can hardly match. Although it is not very obvious in daily life, Ellie's luck always breaks out in the most critical moments, as the only unicorn who successfully came from the Fifth Age and who has been hunted by demons for many years but has never been found by them.
The snowflakes suddenly became larger and denser without warning. When a cold snowflake landed on Ellie's forehead, Ellie, who was running wildly on the snowy cliff, slipped and stepped on something, causing the entire unicorn to fall into the snow.
As Mia nimbly landed on the snow, the giant serpent seized the opportunity and spewed a white light that struck Ellie's left side. The body touched by the light uncontrollably transformed into ice crystals. This wasn't intentional elementalization, but rather the serpent's power attempting to freeze her into an ice sculpture forever.
What Ellie just stepped on was the remains of countless creatures that had wandered into this place and been turned into ice sculptures, buried beneath the snow. However, because it possessed the power of ice and snow, the little unicorn's entire body didn't turn into an ice sculpture all at once.
She felt the left side of her body go numb at that moment, and tried to stand up, but fell heavily into the snow again.
The black and white serpent silently slithered towards her along the snow-covered surface once more, and the resilient unicorn forcibly used the power of shapeshifting, transforming into human form under the pure white light.
She had originally intended to use the transformation of her own form to break free from the shackles of her body turning into solid ice, but the power possessed by that giant serpent was far more ancient than she had imagined.
The girl, who had transformed into human form, had light silver-gray eyes, but the left half of her body remained crystal-clear ice. She tried to get up by supporting herself on the snow with her right hand, but could only manage to keep her face from touching the snow.
Looking ahead, the snake was getting closer and closer to her.
But at that moment, Mia's rather petite body, even in Ellie's human form, stood between Ellie and the giant snake.
The cat meowed at the snake, as if protecting Ellie behind it. And the large snake, perhaps because it hadn't seen a cat here for hundreds of thousands of years, actually stopped in the snow at Xiaomia's meows.
But Ellie knew that the cat couldn't beat the snake, and the snake might open its mouth and swallow the cat whole the next second.
Terrified by the horrific scene that was about to unfold, Ellie finally staggered to her feet in human form. The loss of control over half of her body made her tremble all over. The poison of misfortune shook her soul like the tolling of a bell, but she still bravely stepped forward, wanting to protect Mia behind her.
The burning desire for power reached its peak at this moment. In the dark night of the blizzard, the flames on Mia's tail were reflected in her eyes and etched into her soul, igniting the long-accumulated elements and power.
The giant serpent looked past the cat at the small, barefoot girl who was staggering towards them, a thin mist already rising behind her. From further away in the snow-capped mountains, the sound of bells seemed to travel against the wind and snow. With a snap, the star-shaped dewdrop hanging around Ellie's neck shattered without warning, and the external spirit flowed into her body, propelling the change to take further place.
And so at this moment, Ellie, a very special individual even among the unicorn species, received her own response to her desire for power.
Perhaps it really is true that "the heart that believes is power," or perhaps it was simply because at this moment, a snowflake landed on the back of her right hand, reminding her of the "elves" born from the ice and snow of the Fifth Age, who possessed the power to adapt to the times.
A connection with Winnie had been established; the yearning for power had responded within. The voice that had been frequently whispering in his ear chuckled softly, and after the ringing of the bell, the lighting of the torch, and the pushing of the torch, it asked gently:
Ellie, what is your wish?
"Roar!" (Unicorn language)
Ellie's body remained human, but her shadow transformed from human form into a unicorn. As the black unicorn's shadow crashed into Ellie's body, thick steam finally billowed out from behind her.
The steam whistle and bells rang out, and a giant black hammer fell from the depths of the steam mist, forging a life ring for that ancient yet young life amidst a deafening roar.
Compared to the complicated process required for humans to take up jobs, Ellie's transformation process was so simple, as she was already in the awakening period, and the awakening period was quite long.
But at this moment, only a snake and a cat witnessed this scene, so no one could explain what Ellie's induction process meant. The core spirit runes [Unicorn], [Connection], and [Luck] shimmered with a brass-colored light in the center of the life ring. The power brought about by the shaking of her soul acted on her body in turn, and the ice and snow on the left side of Ellie's body melted away in the vibration.
On that empty ring of destiny, the miracle [Silver Moon], the enlightenment [Ice and Snow], and the whisper [Butterfly] appeared together in the next moment. It was as if these three spirit runes had always existed in Ellie's soul and were directly engraved after the destiny ring was formed.
The formation of a life ring does not bring new power, but the ring sorcerer class system made Ellie feel that in that instant, she fully understood the many powers she possessed.
Originally, she fought based on instinct and racial talent, like a child who could only swing his fists randomly. But at this moment, as the "other me" of her soul fully took shape, Ellie seemed to have suddenly understood the secrets of martial arts, systematically knowing what kind of power she possessed.
"Snake! Bad! Don't bully the cat!"
Her long white hair shone brightly in the snow, and the life ring behind her radiated spiritual light as it spun.
Inspiration - [Connection] and Miracle - [Silver Moon] resonated with each other, as if Shad had appeared at this moment, and Ellie transformed into a silver arc of light and rushed forward—
"Moonlight Slash!"
This was by no means a simple imitation of Shad's power. The small figure transformed into a silver arc of light, which, after passing over Mia, turned into a unicorn made of moonlight and struck the black and white snake in the next second, annihilating most of the snake's body.
Through the connection of fate, Ellie used the power of destiny to simulate Shad's magic, and combined it with her own power to further transform the magic. Although that moonlight was not as pure as the moonlight in Shad's hands, the mutated magic was equivalent to combining moonlight with the power of a unicorn, and its power was by no means a simple "moonlight slash".
The remaining body of the giant serpent fell onto the snow and eventually transformed into a curved shape, lying there.
However, Ellie didn't see this. It was her first time using "Moonlight Slash," and she wasn't very skilled with the technique. In addition, she had charged forward too fast. After crushing the snake, Moonlight Slash continued to surge forward, and under Mia's tilted head and gaze, Ellie crashed headfirst into the mountainside on the inside of the cliff.
With a deafening roar, large chunks of ice covering the mountain collapsed, and snow fell from higher ground like a mini avalanche.
However, none of this could harm Ellie. As Mia walked towards the curved shape with cat-like steps, the humanoid Ellie's figure jumped out from that white area.
The life ring had been put away, and Ellie excitedly ran barefoot towards the cat:
"cat!"
This means happiness and joy. In the short time since becoming a Ring Sorcerer, Ellie's little head has been filled with too much knowledge and information. Ellie, who is not very good at thinking, is even a little dizzy now and is still communicating with "another me".
However, after being meowed by the cat, she calmed down and extracted two very important things from the information she had in her mind.
The first thing is a seemingly important sentence—"The adventure begins, the unicorn dances under the silver moon." This sentence involves five important words: "adventure," "starting point," "unicorn," "silver moon," and "dance."
The second thing was that Ellie was hungry. Becoming a Ring Sorcerer was very taxing on both her mental and physical strength. So, because of hunger, she discovered that becoming a Ring Sorcerer had given her a talent she had never been aware of before.
She stared at the curved shape under the cat's paw, hesitated for a moment, then transformed back into a unicorn. She lowered her head and rubbed her fluffy cheek against the cat, and then Mia jumped onto Ellie's head.
The cat moved aside, revealing the curved shape left behind by the disappearing snake. Ellie first sniffed the curve, then touched it with her faintly glowing horn. In a strange light, the curve transformed into an apple.
