Chapter 93

After successfully sealing the core stronghold of the Dark Forces, the world ushered in a brief period of peace. The Protagonist Group and the Order of Bright Knights became heroes in the hearts of the people. They assisted with reconstruction in various towns, reigniting hope for a better life among the populace who had suffered so terribly under the darkness. However, the peaceful days did not last long. In the distant north lay a mysterious frozen wasteland known as the Land of Frost Ash. Covered in ice and snow year-round and swept by howling gales, it was one of the coldest and most desolate places in the world. Legend had it that this region had once been the battlefield of an ancient war between gods and demons. Countless powerful entities had fallen here, their might and resentment intertwining to form a special kind of spiritual power fluctuation that filled the land with strangeness and danger. Recently, abnormal phenomena had begun to appear in the Land of Frost Ash. The once-calm glaciers began to shudder violently, and black smoke continuously spewed from the ice fissures. This smoke carried an unsettling aura, as if something dark was awakening. Several brave explorers had traveled there to investigate, but none returned, which alerted the Protagonist Group.
