Chapter 579 Showdown

Endless frost and snow spread rapidly outward from Noshir as the center, and in just a few seconds, this valley corridor filled with the stench of corpses was completely turned into an ice corridor.

The zombies and ghouls that were hiding in the pile of corpses were instantly frozen into ice sculptures. The drastic change in weather also made some jackals active farther away discover the abnormality and began to rush here spontaneously. When they approached, they were directly killed by the rapidly spreading frost. The jackals farther away began to fear this natural disaster.

Although these guys are extremely ferocious by nature, and under the influence of Yenogu, they have become fearless, but the scene in front of them is obviously not something that ordinary soldiers like them can contend with. The fear of natural disasters and power in their hearts, as well as the sudden cold climate, have cooled down their crazy brains and made them instinctively flee backwards.

The smarter beasts, such as the Flind Gnoll Warlords who were specially transformed by Yeenoghu, sent their pet hyenas to the deepest part of the Death Canyon to wake up their masters as soon as they discovered this abnormal situation.

Noshir held [Matalotoq] tightly, urged the power of this artifact hammer, condensed a platform made of ice under his feet, and let this platform move along the suddenly rising glacier, and finally brought himself to the highest peak of the glacier, looking far away at the hyenas fleeing to the depths, and then deliberately slowed down the spread of the glacier so that the little guys who reported the news could escape smoothly.

‘Very good, the next step is to wait. ’

Noshir sat on the throne made of glaciers, holding the Frost Father beside him, with one hand on the end of [Matalotoq], quietly waiting for the [bloodthirsty beast] to appear, while recalling the information about Yeenoghu provided by Gargos.

Yeenoghu, this demon lord is always called "bloodthirsty beast" or "Gnoll Lord". Its overall strength is actually one of the weaker ones among many demon lords, but it still possesses unimaginable power. Its physical fitness is amazing. It fights violently, like a rampage. Its ferocious demon fangs are even more poisonous.

It uses a three-headed flail named "Butcher". According to rumors, this is a quasi-artifact forged by Yeenoghu himself. However, due to the poor craftsmanship of the demon, the appearance of this weapon looks very ordinary, and the enchantment effect is also very simple, but it still has enough lethality when wielded by Yeenoghu.

At the same time, if Yeenoghu is in its own domain, this [bloodthirsty beast] can exert power and ability beyond its own limits. It always craves for meaningless slaughter and destruction, and drives the jackals as its physical tools to perform more brutal acts in its name. The jackal lord is happy with the sadness and despair of others. It longs to turn the world into a wasteland and let the last surviving jackals fight each other to the end for the remaining corpses.

In short, this thing is a complete monster, both in terms of ability and psychology. Noshier can say with certainty that once the two of them meet in the future, Yeenoghu will attack without mercy and express its tyrannical nature wantonly.

'...Here it comes. ’

Standing up from the frost throne, Noshir held [Matalotok] tightly in one hand and walked straight to the edge of the glacier platform, looking at the violent beasts rushing out of the valley not far away, and the tall figure running wildly behind the beasts!

‘The King of the Gnolls. ’

Noshir just stood on the glacier, quietly watching the tall figure with a height of 14 feet (4.5 meters) running wildly under the embrace of the beasts.

Yenogu looks like a scarred giant gnoll, but it does not have as much hair as ordinary gnolls. Instead, it is covered with demonic hard skin all over the body, and only the arm joints, tail, and back are covered with black hard hair.

Its back was covered with black spikes, its eyes were burning with emerald flames, and it was wearing some armor woven with chains. The materials of the armor were made of shields and breastplates, which came from defeated enemies. The skin of the defeated was also one of the decorations on the beast. Its bloody mouth was constantly flowing with corrosive saliva.

Yenogu had already seen him. After all, the glacier was so conspicuous. After seeing his territory being invaded, Yenogu, as Noshir expected, fell into a frenzy in an instant!

It let out an angry howl, violently and wantonly waving its three-headed flail, a large number of metal spikes rushed out from the ground of the valley in an instant, destroying the glacier cast by Noshir in an instant! And these spikes are still growing, stabbing straight at Noshir in the sky!

The speed at which these spikes spread was very fast. At least for ordinary people, this kind of attack was almost impossible to dodge. However, for Noshir, whose agility had reached 30 points, his perception had reached 30 points, and he had several beast souls that increased his agility and perception, such attacks were so slow that he could completely ignore them.

He just casually waved his wings and dodged the siege of the metal spikes. With a light swing of his war hammer, the gathered metal spikes were easily broken. However, Noshir did not take this opportunity to start fighting immediately. He was still observing Yenogu and the environment around it.

Noshir did not forget the purpose of coming here. His goal was not to defeat Yenogu. What he really needed was to find the Sword of Zariel and bring it back from here.

But Noshir did not sense any sacred breath on Yenogu, which means that the Sword of Zariel was not on Yenogu. The sword was more likely to be in the belly of Yenogu's pet, the deformed monster called Kalokotok.

'But why didn't that monster appear here? '

Noshir was a little confused. He did not sense the figure of Kalokotok on this battlefield. Even if that large monster was hiding underground, as long as it was moving, the movement it caused could not be hidden from Noshir's perception ability, but the problem now was that it was not here.

'——Thinking carefully, the positioning of that thing seemed to be closer to a troop carrier, a living locker, and the like. That kind of thing is useless to me, so it is understandable that it did not appear on this battlefield... Forget it, let's clean this place first and then look for it slowly. ’
