Chapter 3480: Battle Unicorn

Ice-blue light shot forward from the unicorn's back. After hitting the blood water that was like a tidal wave, it froze the blood water in the center of the corridor amidst rustling sounds. Even the splashes at the very front of the blood water were clearly visible.

"Moonlight Ray!"

Then, pure silver light mixed with the power of Moon Fire burst out, directly shattering the blood-red ice ahead with brilliant colors in Aili's eyes.

"Ang~"

Aili cried out softly to express its joy, but when it wanted to continue charging forward, it was stopped by Xia De again. Because behind the shattered blood-red ice, more blood water was still gushing out from the corner of the corridor, as if forcing them to have no choice but to choose another direction.

Using flames to evaporate the blood water would make the surrounding environment even worse; and continuing to use the power of ice, the endless blood water didn't look like it could be solved in a short time.

"Aili, can you change direction and move forward?"

Xia De asked, but the unicorn had its eyes set on the front and was unwilling to change its target. Xia De believed it had its own reasons. He reached out and fired 【Freeze Ray】 again to temporarily freeze the blood water wave. Just as he was hesitating about what method to use to pass through this corridor, rustling sounds came quickly from behind.

Ice mist dispersed, causing the flesh and blood on the walls of the corridor to be quickly covered with a layer of frost. The sudden drop in temperature even made Xia De shiver. Both he and Aili looked back, and then Aili cried out happily again, because behind them, floating with a twelve-ring life ring, her whole body shining with ice crystals, yet wearing a maid outfit, was the ice maid Winnie, walking along the passage that Aili had just smashed open.

Above her head floated the mark of an elemental creature, and mimics could only disguise themselves as flesh-and-blood life forms, so Xia De didn't need to doubt whether the maid who appeared at this moment was disguised by a mimic.

"Good morning, Aili. Good morning, Mr. whose true surname I cannot mention now."

She nodded gently to Xia De. While Xia De breathed a sigh of relief, he asked again:

"Good morning, Miss Winnie. How did you get in? I thought that after I and Aili entered here, the mimics would completely seal off the building... The unicorn herd has arrived, right?"

But even if the 【House of Mimics】 had anomalous time characteristics, the unicorn herd wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

The ice maid shook her head slightly. The chill radiating from her body had already spread toward the blood water that Xia De had temporarily frozen:

"I came alone. Her Majesty Chloe also taught me some special skills; the 【House of Mimics】 cannot stop me. Also, please don't call me 'Miss Winnie'; please call me by my name, 'Winnie'. The helpers you summoned are gathering; I am the first to break in here."

As she spoke, she had already come to Aili's side, and then said to it with a tone of reproach:

"Aili, have you forgotten all those skills you once learned? You have been recovering your body during this time; have you only been playing and forgotten that you were once a battle unicorn?"

"Battle unicorn?"

Xia De had never heard this term, so the ice maid explained to him in a gentle tone:

"The witch emperors of the Fifth Era often possessed large unicorn populations, so unicorns with different talents in the population also had different classifications. Unicorns themselves are very powerful and are not just used as mounts. Battle unicorns are the children with the most outstanding talents in the population. They also shoulder the responsibility of fighting side by side with the witches.

This is somewhat similar to the relationship between dragon knights and dragons. Giant dragons are not simple flying mounts."

She reached out to stroke Aili, who was somewhat bewildered and somewhat guilty:

"I have read all the experimental records in the laboratory. Although Aili was not yet an adult at the time, it had received complete battle unicorn training. Even if it couldn't beat that ancient evil spirit alone, it would absolutely not be unable to handle the current situation."

After explaining to Xia De, the ice maid said sternly to Aili again:

"Don't tell me that you can only exert the ability to tear down walls now. In the past, you were underage, and the population didn't have high requirements for you. But now you are an adult unicorn, and you have the responsibility to protect the young of your own kind.

And this man's relationship with Her Majesty, don't you really know? It seems that too many apples really made you feel that life has become comfortable. When you see Her Majesty next time, let's see how you explain it!"

Xia De hadn't known Winnie for long, and this was the first time he had seen her so stern. Aili was clearly frightened; Xia De felt it shiver, and then the body temperature of the entire unicorn dropped rapidly.

Xia De thought Aili was scared out of its wits by Winnie, but soon he realized that this was the unicorn's body undergoing changes. The holy white fur was gradually stained with frost, and after a few seconds, its body was completely transformed into ice.

The crystal-clear ice unicorn was even a size larger than its flesh-and-blood state, and even the golden unicorn horn on its forehead had turned ice-blue at this moment.

"Elemental form transformation?"

Xia De had never heard that unicorns could also learn this power, but it had indeed turned its entire body into ice, consistent with Winnie's current form.

"Ang~"

Aili, whose emotions were becoming more and more high, carried Xia De and rushed toward the frozen blood water ahead, and the ice maid followed quickly. But she was not walking or running with her legs, but transformed her lower body into a cloud of mist, floating behind Xia De and following closely. This was the most common way for elemental life forms to act.

Aili's horn first touched the frozen blood water, but it didn't smash it, but directly merged into it. Then, the entire body of the ice unicorn also entered the blood-red ice.

Xia De did not have the power to transform into an ice form, but at this moment, the power of the unicorn beneath him extended to him. His body touched the blood-red ice crystals, just like touching a cloud of mist with a bloody smell. Then, Xia De, Aili, and the maid Winnie all entered the ice crystals together.

This feeling was quite strange to Xia De, but fortunately, Aili's sprinting speed was extremely fast, and it reached the end of the corridor two seconds later. It didn't turn to the right toward the source of the blood water, but rammed through the wall directly in front.

And probably because of Aili's power, Xia De could see things outside the ice crystals even while in the ice. So, before Aili rammed the wall, he turned his head to look to the right, and sure enough, he saw that the corridor on the right was very short. At the end of the corridor was a room emitting red light, and the blood water was gushing out from it.

This room was not the core room of the 【House of Mimics】. Xia De was very sure of this, but he vaguely sensed that this room also had extraordinary significance for the entire relic.

So, while Aili rammed the wall, he raised his hand to cast a spell. Although he was still in the ice, "Moonlight Ray" could completely pierce through the ice layer. It was just that the 【House of Mimics】 reacted very quickly. Before the moonlight reached the door, that door closed immediately. And after Aili smashed through the wall, Xia De stopped it and returned to the other side of the wall to check the situation, but that room emitting red light had already disappeared.

The two mimics in the brand-new room hadn't had time to make a move before they were frozen into ice sculptures by the twelve-ring ice maid. Aili smashed them into fragments all over the floor with a "gentle" ram, but Xia De still threw out a fireball to completely incinerate the "corpses."

At this time, Aili also exited the "ice form" and sniffed around again like Little Mia.

Xia De released Moon Fire at the edge of the hole in the wall just like before, and then asked Winnie:

"Is Aili's sense of smell very sensitive? After entering here, I let it lead the way, and it sniffs the scent from time to time. Can it smell Little Liana's scent?"

The maid shook her head:

"There is no record that Aili's sense of smell is sensitive. This is probably just a manifestation of it exerting its own inspiration."

"That's good, let's continue."

Xia De remounted Aili again. The unicorn, having found the direction, continued to lower its head and ram toward the wall. Although it didn't turn into the ice form just now again, after being reprimanded by the maid Winnie, it seemed to have found the power it had lost in the past.

Even though the blood-red color in the surrounding space became more terrifying and the whispering elements became more intense, and more traces of flesh and blood appeared on the walls, Aili's speed of charging forward actually accelerated instead.

The pure white color even spread to Xia De's body, and the unicorn's power was instead protecting Xia De from being affected by the relic. Xia De finally understood that perhaps Aili's current state was the state of the real "battle unicorns" of the Fifth Era that could fight side by side with witches.

Although it was just an adult, the power it displayed was truly astonishing.

With the help of the maid Winnie using ice to freeze the gaps smashed by Aili, even when going deeper into the House of Mimics, the walls remained in a damaged state and were slow to be repaired.

While the environment became more and more hostile, more powerful mimics appeared one after another, but none were Xia De's match. Layer after layer of walls were smashed through. Just when Xia De thought he would be brought to the core room by Aili like this, the blood-red color around actually began to recede again, which meant they were moving away from the core of the 【House of Mimics】.

"Aili is looking for Little Liana, not wanting to go to the core of the 【House of Mimics】. Can it really perceive Little Liana's direction?"

The distance they moved inside the 【House of Mimics】 this time was much longer than the distance Xia De walked last time, so Xia De also took this opportunity to see more of the situation inside the 【House of Mimics】.

Not only rooms and corridors, but there were also stairs here. It was just that because of the anomalous spatial characteristics, going upstairs and downstairs did not mean really moving in a vertical direction. After all, Xia De fell from a hole last time before entering the core room, but this did not mean the core room was really in the underground area.
