Their forms were twisted and broken, clothes torn and soaked in dark, drying crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep wounds carved into flesh told a violent story. One that had ended moments ago. Limbs lay limp and lifeless, eyes staring blankly into nothingness, as if frozen in their final moments of terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a little distance away from them lay another human body. He was alive. His chest rose and fell as he breathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a young man around his twenties. His hair was messy and snow-white in color– smooth, soft, and silky. His skin was fair, and he had an extremely handsome face. His eyes were closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, his eyelids started fluttering open. A pair of beautiful crystal-blue eyes tried to see what was in front of him. His crystal-blue eyes struggled to understand what was happening as blurred shapes filled his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, the haze faded. A clear blue sky came into view, along with tree branches overhead, their leaves gently fluttering in the breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Where am I?’ A sudden pain shot through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gah—!\" he groaned in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to push himself up. Using his hands for support, he managed to sit upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a cut on his chest. His grey-colored leather outfit was torn. Warm blood was still streaming down. His face had several scratches. Wounds covered his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scorching pain ran through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What’s this?!’ he thought in confusion, seeing the fresh blood streaming down from his chest. The deep cut carved across it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart started to beat faster. Fear crawled over his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am hurt–!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Munch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Munch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Munch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could think more about his situation, a munching sound attracted his attention. His head turned to his right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes widened in shock.Multiple dead human bodies lay there, lifeless and bloodied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near them stood a huge bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it was not any normal bear he had seen on a mobile screen or TV. It was far bigger than any ordinary bear. A huge horn erupted from its forehead. Its fur was dark black in color. Its eyes glowed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was eating one of the dead bodies. Tearing it apart, digging its massive jaw into the stomach and devouring the flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keck—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that scene, the young man felt like vomiting. He covered his mouth with his right palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sound was louder than his muttering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster stopped chewing on its human meal. Its head snapped toward the source of the sound. Its glowing red eyes locked onto the human who was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>GROWLLL!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It growled loudly upon seeing the living human. The man’s eyes widened. A primal chill ran down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Shit!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was injured, wracked with pain. Yet at this moment, the pain didn’t matter. The monster growled at him. It was ready to dash forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before that, he got up from the ground, spun on his feet, and started to run away from the bear monster in the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stomp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stomp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stomp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran through the forest, weaving past tall, twisted trees. He didn’t look behind. Just kept running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAAARRRR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster followed with fury, raging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hah!... What’s happening? Where am I? How did I come here? Why is there a real monster here?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man had been in his bedroom just a few hours ago. How had he ended up here, in such a dire situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man running was none other than Aron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen such a thing before, unless it was in movies or games. But now, a real monster was chasing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he in some kind of dream?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh!\" He groaned in pain. Every step sent agony through his body, making it clear that he was not dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This can’t be a dream.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his head back. The monster was much closer now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"NO!\" He ran faster. Blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. His blue eyes focused straight ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROAAARR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster was already close. It leapt over his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No! No! I can’t die!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threw himself to the left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear’s claws slammed into the ground where Aron had been moments ago. The impact cracked the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron rolled across the ground multiple times, then struggled back to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn! This body!\" He cursed his injured body. It was really hard to move with this body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t look back and ran in another direction. The monster didn’t let him escape. It chased him again, even more furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ROOOARRRR!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bear monster was faster than before. It already catching up to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It swung its right arm and slammed it into Aron’s right rib cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of something breaking echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arggh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow was so strong that the young man was thrown aside, crashing into a tree loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaarghh!\" he screamed in pain. The impact nearly knocked him unconscious. He struggled to stay focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left hand clutched his rib cage where he had been struck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’My bones... they’re broken inside.’ The realization chilled him. His head throbbed, veins bulging on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was losing blood as time passed. His breathing was ragged. He needed to do somthing. If not, he might die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat there, back against the tree trunk, legs stretched out. With little strength to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should he do? It was becoming hard to think straight. One cheek was swollen. His eyelids barely stayed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Growl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It growled while gazing at the half-dead body in front of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster opened its mouth wide. Its teeth were large and jagged. They were pointy shaped. They were meant to tear enemies or prey apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It brought its gaping mouth down to bite Aron, to end his life on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I need to do something... I need to... I can’t.’ He thought weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed himself up. Fear of death, the last instinct. Surged through his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved before he could think.His right hand shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what he was doing, but it felt as if his body had done this countless times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something warm circulated through him from his abdomen. It was unknown. Yet familiar, as if it were an essential part of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something formed in front of his hand. The air trembled around his hand. Coldness spread outward near it. He felt it clearly. The chill, the coldness forming before his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of nowhere, something like a blue crystal shape appeared. It was long, bigger than his fist, with a sharp, solid tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand was already inside the monster’s wide-open mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything happened in just few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aron’s half-closed eyes snapped open. He could guess it. What was forming in front of his extended hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Ice?’\u003C\u002Fp>",1175,"2026-06-05T19:56:14.244Z",1,"novelbin.me","5001686a665b2c65618c0e28ae2d56071b904086f93928da604683e1c9977afe","extra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-chapter-3","extra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-chapter-1",144,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-path-the-eternal-frost-monarch-cover.jpg"]
