Chapter 3746: Ringed Shushi · Unicorn Ellie

~10 min read 1,988 words

The snake crawled on the snow, and then hit the ice-blue light beam bursting from Ellie's horn head-on. The big snake opened its mouth, trying to swallow this energy, and then the front half of its body was frozen in ice.

It was just that when Ellie approached and wanted 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 found that what it had bitten was actually a layer of smooth ice.

Ellie, who had transformed herself into an ice element form, fought with the snake on the cliff, while the cat stood steadily on Ellie's little head. The cat, with its very good sense of balance, was not thrown off because of Ellie's movements.

No one knew about the battle that took place in the snow mountain under the night of late winter. The unicorn from the Fifth Era and the older big snake actually had no deep hatred. Ellie didn't even know the reason for this fight herself.

Ellie's speed was much faster than the black and white big snake, leaving trails of afterimages as she moved on the cliff. Although the big snake possessed some kind of powerful fate power, no matter how Ellie dodged, it could always touch the little unicorn's body with its terrible snake fangs. However, in the state of elementalization, Ellie could barely resist the damage caused by the snake fangs by relying on her own racial talent.

It was just that the snake fangs were constantly injecting snake venom named "Doom" into Ellie. The little unicorn, who had no Ring of Fate of her own, even though she possessed a certain degree of fate resistance for unknown reasons, still could not stop the increasingly powerful doom acting on herself.

Doom made her more prone to mistakes in battle, and made her suppressed by the big snake despite her speed advantage.

Fortunately, unicorns are born with luck that other races find difficult to reach. Although it is not very obvious in daily life, as the only unicorn who successfully came from the Fifth Era and was chased by demons for many years but was never found by the other party, Ellie's luck always erupts at such a most critical moment.

The snowflakes became larger and denser without warning at this moment. When a certain cold snowflake fell on Ellie's forehead, Ellie, who was running wildly on the snow on the cliff, slipped under her feet and stepped on something, and the whole unicorn fell into the snow.

At the same time that Little Mia landed sensitively on the snow, the white light sprayed from the mouth of the big snake that seized the opportunity hit Ellie's left side. So the body touched by the white light uncontrollably turned into ice crystals. This was not deliberate elementalization, but the power possessed by the big snake trying to turn her into an ice sculpture and leave her forever.

What Ellie stepped on just now was the countless creatures that had mistakenly entered this place and were turned into ice sculptures buried under the snow. However, because she possessed the power of ice and snow, the little unicorn did not turn her whole body into an ice sculpture at once.

She felt that the left half of her body lost consciousness at this moment. She tried to stand up, but fell heavily into the snow again.

The black and white big snake swam toward her silently along the snow again. The strong unicorn then forcibly used the power of transformation, turning into a human form under the wrapping of pure white light.

She originally thought about using the transformation of her own form to break through the shackles of her body turning into solid ice, but the power possessed by that big snake was more ancient than she imagined.

After turning into a human form, the girl with light silver-gray eyes still had crystal-clear ice on the left half of her body. She supported the snow with her right hand, wanting to crawl up, but could only keep herself from sticking her face to the snow.

When she looked forward again, the snake was getting closer and closer to her.

But at this moment, Little Mia's body, which was quite petite even in Ellie's human form, blocked the space between Ellie and the big snake.

The cat meowed at the snake, as if to protect Ellie behind it. And that big snake, perhaps because it hadn't seen a cat in this place for hundreds of thousands of years, actually stopped in the snow at the sound of Little Mia.

But Ellie knew that the cat couldn't beat the snake. The snake might open its mouth and swallow the cat protecting her whole in the next second.

Ellie, terrified by the horrific scene about to happen, finally staggered to her feet in human form. The loss of control of half her body made her whole body tremble, and the poison of doom vibrated her soul like a bell, but she still stepped forward strongly, wanting to protect Little Mia behind her.

The belief in thirsting for power reached its peak at this moment. In the dark night of the blizzard before her eyes, the flame on Little Mia's tail was reflected in her eyes and engraved into her soul, igniting the long-accumulated elements and power.

The big snake looked past the cat at the staggering little girl. Thin mist had already emerged behind her. From further away in the snow mountain, there seemed to be a bell sound coming against the wind and snow. With a crack, the star dew hanging on Ellie's neck shattered without warning, and external spirit injected into her body, pushing the further change to happen.

So at this moment, as an individual who was very special even among the unicorn population, Ellie's wish for power received its own response.

Perhaps it really was "a believing heart is power," or perhaps it was just because at this moment, a snowflake fell on the back of her right hand, making her think of the power possessed by the "elf" born in the ice and snow who also walked from the Fifth Era to adapt to the era.

The connection with Winnie had been established, and the heart thirsting for power responded to itself. The voice that often sounded in her ears recently laughed softly, and after the steps of ringing the bell, lighting the fire, and pushing were finished, it asked softly:

【Ellie, what is your wish?】

"Huh!" (Unicorn language)

Ellie's body remained in human form, but her shadow changed from a human form to a unicorn. And when that black unicorn figure crashed into Ellie's body, the thick steam mist finally gushed out from behind her.

The whistle and the bell sounded, and the black giant hammer fell from the depths of the steam mist, forging a fate ring for that ancient yet young life in the loud noise.

Compared to the cumbersome process required for humans to take up a post, the transformation process of Ellie, who was already in the awakening period and had a quite long awakening period, was so simple.

But only one snake and one cat witnessed this scene at this moment, so no one could explain what Ellie's job-taking process meant. The core spirit runes 【Unicorn】, 【Connection】, and 【Luck】 flickered with brass-colored spirit light in the center of the fate ring. The sense of power brought by the soul being shaken acted on the body in turn, and the ice and snow on the left side of Ellie's body melted in the vibration.

And on that empty one-ring fate ring, 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 existed in Ellie's soul, and were directly engraved after the fate ring was formed.

The formation of the fate ring would not bring new power, but the Ringed Shushi career system made Ellie feel that she completely understood the many powers she possessed at this moment.

She, who originally relied on instinct and racial talent to fight, was like a child who only knew how to wave his fists randomly. But at this moment, "another me" on the other side of the soul was completely formed, and Ellie seemed to have read the secret book of boxing, systematically knowing what kind of power she possessed.

"Snake! Bad! Don't bully the cat!"

White long hair radiated light in the snow, and the fate ring behind her bloomed with spirit light in rotation.

Enlightenment - 【Connection】 and Miracle - 【Silver Moon】 resonated with each other. As if Xia De appeared at this moment, Ellie turned into a silver arc and rushed forward—

"Moonlight - Slash!"

This was by no means a simple imitation of Xia De's power. The silver arc turned into by the petite figure turned into a unicorn made of moonlight after passing Little Mia, and hit the black and white big snake in the next second, annihilating most of the snake's body into nothingness.

Through the connection of fate, Ellie used the power of fate to simulate Xia De's strange arts, and combined with her own power to make the strange arts produce further changes. Although that moonlight was not as pure as the moonlight in Xia De's hands, the alienated strange arts were equivalent to the combination of moonlight and unicorn power, and its power was by no means a simple "Moonlight Slash."

So the remaining body of the big snake fell on the snow and finally turned into a curved arc and lay there.

However, Ellie didn't see this scene. She used "Moonlight Slash" for the first time, and her mastery of the strange arts was not pure enough. Coupled with the fact that she rushed too fast when charging forward just now, after crushing the snake, the moonlight continued to rush forward, and then under Little Mia's tilted head gaze, Ellie crashed into the mountain body inside the cliff.

In the rumbling sound, large chunks of the ice wall covering the mountain collapsed, and the snow fell from a higher place like a small avalanche.

However, these could not hurt Ellie. When Little Mia walked toward the curved arc with cat steps, the human Ellie's figure jumped out of the white area.

The fate ring had been put away, and Ellie ran happily barefoot toward the cat:

"Cat!"

This meant happiness and joy. In the short time after becoming a Ringed Shushi, Ellie's little head had too much knowledge and information. Ellie, who was not very good at thinking, was even a little dizzy now, still communicating with "another me."

However, after being "meowed" by the cat, she calmed down, and from the existing information in her little head, she extracted two very important things.

The first thing was a sentence that seemed very important—【The beginning of the adventure, the unicorn dances under the silver moon】. This sentence involved five important words: 【Adventure】, 【Starting Point】, 【Unicorn】, 【Silver Moon】, 【Dance】.

The second thing was that Ellie was hungry. Taking up the post of Ringed Shushi consumed a lot of spirit and physical strength. So because of hunger, she found that after becoming a Ringed Shushi, she had a talent she had never realized before.

She stared at the curved arc under the cat's claws, hesitated for a moment, then turned back into a unicorn, lowered her head and rubbed against the cat with her furry side face, and Little Mia jumped onto Ellie's head.

The cat moved away, revealing the curved arc left after the big snake disappeared. Ellie first sniffed the curved arc, then touched it with her slightly glowing horn, and so in the strange light, the curved arc turned into an apple. ===== CHAPTER 3747 =====
