Chapter 184: Ice Sculpture in the City
East of Sarkos City.
An area with a radius of 100 meters had become a huge ice sculpture.
All the animals and plants were motionless inside the ice sculpture.
Looking from afar, it was extremely terrifying.
And outside Sarkos City.
Three disheveled figures were flying in mid-air.
The person known as 'Third Brother' was carrying another teammate on his back. It was the guy with strong spiritual power who had been frothing at the mouth due to Flanders's Feaar.
Third Brother had the ability to teleport, so he escaped with his teammates at the last moment.
As the person who cast this spell, Ralph was naturally not stupid enough to trap himself inside.
The three of them were injured, so their speed in the air was not fast.
In this battle, they suffered a crushing defeat.
As soon as Ralph came out, he immediately brought the two of them and wanted to leave Sarkos City.
They did not fly far.
Third Brother looked back and saw a huge ice sculpture. He was sweating profusely.
"Captain, what kind of magic is this?"
Ralph looked at him and said, "inherited magic."
Third Brother's eyes widened.
He had been in the world of mages for so many years. In addition, he was not weak and had a high vision, so he had naturally heard of the so-called inherited magic.
"Captain, you come from a mage family?"
Third brother was very surprised.
No wonder every time they asked about Ralph's background, the latter would not answer.
They had thought that Ralph came from some poor family, but they did not expect him to come from that kind of family. No wonder this captain knew everything.
Third Brother glanced at the ice sculpture and then asked,
"Captain, this level of magic should have killed that scarecrow, right?"
As soon as he said that, he found that Ralph's body actually paused for a moment.
"No."
Third brother was stunned for a moment and didn't react. "What?"
"I said, it didn't kill it." Ralph shook his head.
Third Brother could not believe it.
"This... is impossible, right?"
"Even if it was Rei from the Mage Association, if she was hit by this kind of magic, she probably wouldn't have survived, right? !"
Ralph shook his head.
"You're underestimating Rei too much."
"You're also underestimating this scarecrow too much."
"Do you know that at the last moment of this magic's descent, that scarecrow was still smiling at me? Do you dare believe it?"
"Whether it's a mage or a strange creature, since its strength has reached such a level, then its judgment of its own strength is very accurate. Since it dared to laugh at that time, then it means that the magic can't do anything to it."
Thinking of that scarecrow, Ralph felt a chill in his heart.
That scarecrow was really too terrifying.
He had been in The Company for so many years, and he had seen all kinds of strange creatures. This was the first time he had fallen so hard in front of strange creatures.
Thinking of this, Ralph shook his head.
Forget it, I do not want to think about it.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
"Alright, I won't say anymore."
"That magic used up a lot of my energy. Even if I can't kill that scarecrow, I can at least trap him for ten or eight days."
"Let's take advantage of this time to quickly find a city to heal ourselves first. Then, we'll go to the Black Swamp and meet up with them."
Ralph was too lazy to think about it and directly ordered.
However, just as he finished speaking.
A very strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart.
He immediately looked for the source of this sense of danger.
At the next moment, just as he was about to turn around...
Whoosh!!
What entered his eyes was a huge black scythe.
Ralph's heart trembled.
Whoosh!
The scythe sliced past his ear.
Pfft!
There was a sound from the side. The scythe stabbed into the unconscious teammate's body, directly piercing through his heart. Fresh blood gushed out crazily.
Ralph and Third Brother instantly turned their heads.
On a huge ice sculpture a few hundred meters away, a very tall scarecrow was placed on top, staring at them with a faint gaze.
Ka ka ka!
"You guys should run away, we'll meet again."
The sound was like it came from hell, soul-stirring.
"Go!"
"Quickly go!"
Ralph immediately shouted, panicking.
Third Brother, who was next to him, was also scared out of his wits.
Although he was completely exhausted, he still gritted his teeth and used up all his strength. He grabbed Ralph and teleported to a place hundreds of miles away.
As for the teammate that was brought out, he fell to the ground and was no longer breathing.
...
"An ice sculpture appeared in the east of Sarkos City!"
"Natural or man-made disaster? The huge ice sculpture in Sarkos City."
"..."
It had been less than an hour.
All the newspapers were on the move. In a very short period of time, the news was already known by everyone.
Naturally, many people went to see the ice sculpture that had suddenly appeared.
There were also different opinions about the origin of the ice sculpture.
There were even some experts who came out to explain.
There were many people who came to visit, but soon, this place was taken over by the Mage Association, which was difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with.
"Have you found out who did it?"
"I don't know."
"..."
"However, some people in the association guessed that it might be the people from The Company. After all, they had just gone to our Mage Association to make a big fuss, and as soon as they left, this ice sculpture appeared here. It's hard to believe that they didn't do it."
"Yes, it's indeed possible... how about this, send it to the headquarters according to this statement."
"Ah? Isn't it too hasty?"
"Don't worry, the headquarters has been very busy these few days. They won't care about these things."
"..."
The next day, when the Mage Association in Sarkos City had just sent the news to the headquarters.
A photo suddenly spread on Youtube.
The background of the photo was the huge ice sculpture that appeared in Sarkos City.
The only difference was that there seemed to be a huge figure standing on the huge ice sculpture.
When the crowd zoomed in on the photo.
A scarecrow with a twisted face appeared in the middle of the screen.
No one knew how the photo appeared. No one knew who was the first person who sent the photo, but one thing was easy to observe.
After this photo appeared, all the speculations on the internet began to fall to one side.
All the topics began to shift toward the scarecrow.
And in Sarkos City.
As Flanders had released the Fear Scarecrow a long time ago, the legend of the scarecrow had been circulating in this city.
The appearance of this photo magnified the legend of the scarecrow.
In the streets and alleys, people were talking about the scarecrow.
[Fear Points +140]
[Fear Points +80]
[Fear Points +70]
[Fear Points +110]
Flanders walked by the roadside and listened to the people talking about him. They were not always providing him with fear points. His face was full of smiles.
He came to the villa and opened the door.
In the living room, Warfarin was typing and writing.
At this moment, Flanders smiled even more happily.
