Chapter 180 An Unexpected Encounter Deep In The North
"Is that…?"
Legolas\'s eyes constricted in surprise. "Is that what I think it is?"
At this moment, from a location that was not too far away, they could see a vertical white light that extended all the way into the skies like a ladder that led to heaven, the light was majestic.
That was not it\'s only visual properties, at this moment, from the light, they could see the visible manifestation of frost surrounding it.
It seemed like a giant ladder made of frost was emanating the light.
While Christensen was still looking at the white light in confusion, like usual, Blade looked at his master first and from his reaction, he already learned that his master knew something as he became alert.
"Master, what is it?" Blade already unsheathed Poseidon\'s Fury.
"If I am not wrong, that is a portal leading to an Elemental plane, most likely an Ice Elemental plane from all the frost surrounding it".
"…"
Christensen was surprised as he admired the white light.
Blade instead became wary. "Are we in danger?"
"We\'ll only find out if we see for ourselves".
Legolas already had a hunch but he didn\'t confirm it yet.
The next moment, with him leading the way, they approached the white light from behind a mountain of snow that hid them from direct view.
From their hiding spot, they were able to see the origin of the white light.
Like Legolas predicted, the light emanated from a gigantic portal. This portal was emanating such cold that it dropped the temperature of this area even more.
Legolas\'s eyes narrowed as he looked at the portal.
"This is a recently opened portal".
He barely finished speaking before Lucky communicated through their telepathic connection. \'Let me through\'.
Legolas did not deprive her.

As soon as Lucky and her entourage of Foxes arrived, the Moon Fox ignored her father as she looked at the glowing portal with such focus like it meant a lot to her. The next moment, she turned to look at Legolas.
"It\'s inside there, the winter inside is calling out to me".
Legolas was surprised as this confirmed his conjecture. \'Lucky triggering an inheritance opportunity, is it because an Ice Elemental plane portal opened?\'
\'Why would an Ice Elemental plane portal open here?\'
Bzzz!
As soon as Legolas and his students heard this sound, none of them dared to stay in one place as they all ducked under the mountain of snow including the Foxes, hiding themselves from view of whoever passed through the portal.
-----
You have been swept by an energy check
----
Legolas felt cold sweat feeling his back.
A fraction of a second later, if they didn\'t move fast enough to hide beneath the snow, this energy check from a strange Grade C powerhouse would have caught them which could easily mean life-threatening danger.
Feeling the aura, Lucky and all the Foxes kept quiet including Predator, they reduced their breathing to the minimum as they listened.
"You heard your Chieftian".
A powerful voice reverberated the next moment.
"Protect the portal, let no one through and wait for our signal".
"Once a place is prepared for you here, your army can finally come to settle in preparation for the Great Takeover".
The ones at the receiving end of this speech only grunted in reply.
-----
You have activated active ability: Scent Tracking
You have activated active ability: Auditory Tracking
----
Through these 2 abilities, Legolas kept check of everything that transpired.
The next moment, the sound of retreating footsteps reverberated in the snow. From their footsteps, Legolas already recognized that the retreating 5 were humans, it was the race of the others that he could not yet pinpoint.
They didn\'t seem like beasts and they were not humans either.
Christensen turned to face his master the next moment with a serious look on his face as he whispered. "Frost Giants!"
"…" Legolas felt his heart skipping a beat.
Though Legolas may have inherited his Exclusive abilities, Christensen was still the owner of the abilities, with him, they had more potency and effectiveness.
As the retreating footsteps slowly faded away, Legolas told his students to stay calm as he stealthily raised himself up after using the Cloak of Nothingness.
He looked and he saw them.
\'Black Master Abaddon!\' Legolas was shocked.
\'Is the portal the work of the Clown Society?\'
Having learned his lesson during his first encounter with Clown, despite his surprise, he did not say it out loud. And as he remembered the little conversation between them, his eyes constricted in understanding.
Legolas looked towards the portal again and it was no longer lonely, now, 3 enormous warriors of one of the Ancient Planet Darvis races was guarding it.
With sizes as gigantic as the Ancient Giants, with bodies made of frost, and their long curved icy horns, Legolas needed no more confirmation, these were Frost Giants and they seemed to be of a high ranking.
These 3 Frost Giants all wore armor and 2 of them wielded ice spears, the last of the bunch wielded a heavy Axe as his weapon of choice.
Legolas hid back in the snow as he summarized his findings to his students, instantly after, a lot of things filled his head.
Back in his previous world, the time was nowhere near for all these developments, everything was being fast-forwarded in this timeline.
\'Are these also ripple effects of my reincarnation?\' Legolas was getting a little bit horrified as he thought of the consequences.
He soon put all the horrifying thoughts at the back of his mind.
He looked at Lucky. "Are you sure what is calling you is beyond the portal?"
The little yellow Fox nodded confidently.
"That does it then". Legolas turned to look at Christensen. "The Ice Elemental plane is the best location that you can ever wish for to get your 3rd contracted beast, since Lucky will be going there, let\'s also get your beast there".
"Get ready for battle".
"Yes, Master". Blade and Christensen answered at the same time.
They waited until the Masters of the Clown Society left, then they made their moves after careful planning from Legolas.
