Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Olaf agreed.

In the years that followed, Olaf fought alongside the warriors of Winter's Claw, and his bond with Winter's Claw grew ever stronger.

And now, Olaf knows that the glorious death he longs for may very well be coming soon!

There is no more glorious way to die than in the territory of the Thunder God.

Even if his deeds were to reach his hometown, he would surely be praised by many people.

“Sejuani, let me go with you, I can do it!” Olaf repeated again.

Inside the tent, Sejuani stared into Olaf's bloodshot eyes. After a long silence, Sejuani slowly nodded.

"The berserkers and blood warriors escorted us across the ice bridge, and then we entered Bearman Island together."

"it is good!"

Olaf nodded emphatically upon hearing Sejuani's words.

"Let's set off this afternoon and get ready."

After Olaf left Sejuani's tent, he did not return to his own quarters, but went straight to where Scarface Fryna, the second-in-command of Winter's Claw, was.

Olaf watched as Flyna groomed Ice Fang's fur and said softly:

“Flynn, after Warmother and I leave, if Lord Udyr returns, just tell him where Sejuani and I are. Have him reach the shores of the Frozen Sea as quickly as possible to bring Sejuani back. If possible, also visit the Avarosan tribe.”

Fryna's body stiffened, and she turned to look at Olaf.

Based on what Fryna knew about Olaf, he had always been the kind of rough, unrefined guy who just kept his head down and fought hard. She never expected him to say something like that.

Under Fryna's astonished gaze, Olaf continued:

“Sejuani has given me this opportunity, and I will give my life to help the Winter's Claw get what she wants. Lord Udyr only needs to escort Sejuani back safely.”

Fryna nodded slightly.

"I see."

Time quickly passed into the afternoon, but the faint sunlight still couldn't penetrate the thick clouds of Freljord.

The weather seems to be getting colder and colder.

"Roar!"

Steelmane's massive, mountain-like body burst forth from the edge of Winter's Claw, followed by a group of berserkers and blood warriors wielding battle axes.

A group of a dozen or so people, led by Sejuani, sped toward the Frozen Sea.

The territory of the Bearmen is located in the northernmost part of the entire Freljord continent, facing the main continent across the sea.

There is only one way to get from the main continent to Bearman Island: the bridge that spans the Frozen Sea.

This place is also the first obstacle on the way to Bearman Island.

This bridge is said to have been blessed by the demigod nun Seal, which is why it has been able to stand on the icy sea forever.

However, despite the fact that this bridge spans the icy sea and has stood here for countless years, there was never any sign of life here in the past.

The monsters that exist in the Frozen Sea will devour any living creature that approaches them without any reason.

The bear-men may not need to fear the monsters in the Frozen Sea, but for ordinary humans, the existence of these monsters is deadly.

After nearly a day of trekking, Sejuani, Olaf, and the others finally arrived at the Frozen Sea.

The vast, icy sea seemed very calm, with only the tinkling sound of ice floes colliding with each other echoing in the water near the shore.

Ahead of them, a magnificent bridge stretched out into the depths of the sea, traversing the entire icy ocean.

Sejuani rode on Steelmane's back, gazing at the bridge ahead with Olaf.

They all knew that once they crossed that bridge, there would be no turning back.

Sejuani and Olaf exchanged a glance, and Sejuani pulled on the reins of Steelmane.

"let's go."

The wind and snow seemed to intensify, and the sharp snowflakes stung Sejuani and her companions' skin as they cut across their exposed skin.

But at the same time, the stinging pain was constantly stimulating the nerves of the group, making them concentrate their attention to the limit.

On the long, seemingly endless bridge, the dozen or so members of Winter's Claw were like ants on a sand table, inching forward.

Suddenly, when the group had traveled about a third of the distance, they began to hear the sound of the sea being cut open.

Almost the instant the sound came, everyone gripped their weapons tightly.

“Tap tap tap~~”

The footsteps continued, and in the next instant, a pair of gaping maws leaped out from beneath the sea, heading straight for Sejuani, who was at the head of the group.

"drink!"

Faced with the sudden appearance of the enormous sea monster, Sejuani swung her True Ice Flail without hesitation, the True Ice, imbued with immense power, lashing out at the sea monster's head.

With a blow powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, the sea monster's head exploded almost instantly, its crimson blood and foul-smelling brain matter spilling all over the ground.

"Boost!"

Sejuani knew that this was just the beginning.

There are bound to be many sea monsters lurking in the icy sea, and their journey is destined to be full of hardships.

And so, Olaf and the berserkers surrounded Sejuani and Bristlegrass, advancing rapidly.

Along the way, countless sea monsters rushed onto the bridge, wanting to devour these rare human flesh foods, and without exception, they all died on the bridge.

As the group from Winter's Claws approached the territory of the Bearmen, the bridge behind them was piled high with the corpses of sea beasts.

The moment these sea creatures died, they immediately reappeared in the sea and swallowed the corpses of their kind, leaving only foul-smelling bloodstains on the bridge.

Finally, after an unknown amount of killing, just when the group had become numb, they finally saw the coastline gradually emerging on the horizon.

In front of the bridge, an enormous rock archway resembles the gates of hell leading to the gates of the underworld, behind which lies a raging thunderstorm and the faint roar of a giant bear.

After passing through this rock archway, they had truly reached the territory of the Bearmen.

As Sejuani slowly passed through the rock archway, she couldn't help but look up.

The rock arch was very high, and whether it was an illusion or not, Sejuani felt an extremely strong sense of crisis in her heart, which made her feel incredibly depressed, but she couldn't find the source of this sense of crisis.

She had already confirmed that not long ago, the Bearmen had marched in a large force to the Monster Ranch, and at this time there should only be a few scattered Bearmen in the Bearmen's territory.

But why do I still feel uneasy?

Sejuani shook her head sharply and led Olaf and his group forward.

This was Sejuani's first time on Bearman Island, and she had to admit that it was very different from what she had imagined.

Countless towering and menacing mountain ranges surround Bearman Island, forming a natural windbreak for the island, while inside lies an endless plain, flat and vast.

Although Volibear was very unfriendly to humans, he was extremely kind to his bear-men.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have swallowed his pride and asked Ornn to forge equipment for his bear warriors. The landscape of Bear Island was probably also created by Volibear.

As Sejuani stepped onto the pristine white snow, she suddenly paused, then abruptly raised her hand and gestured to the people behind her.

Sejuani and I looked ahead, where at the end of the valley, two bear-men were patrolling back and forth!

Sejuani chose to leave the Berserker and Blood Warrior behind her until she and Olaf returned, while she and Olaf cautiously made their way forward.

When they were far enough away, a rich, icy blue light began to emanate from Sejuani's hands, while Olaf also gripped his double-bladed axe tightly.

In a split second, as the two bear-men turned around, Sejuani's True Ice Flail shot out at them without hesitation.

"Extreme Ice Prison!"

Steelmane let out a low growl, its footsteps slamming heavily onto the snow, and charged forward together with the Ice Chains.

Olaf also threw his battle axe and charged towards the bear-man, right after Steelmane.

"!!"

Sensing the whooshing sound behind them, the two bear-men turned around abruptly, but it was already too late.

Almost instantly, the Extreme Ice Prison exploded in the middle of them, and the intense icy energy completely enveloped them, freezing them into an ice sculpture.

Immediately afterwards, Sejuani and Steelmane charged toward one of the bear-men, their armored arms slamming into the head of the ice sculpture.

"Crack!"

The ice sculpture was instantly covered in cracks, and finally shattered completely, scattering ice shards all over the ground.

Clearly, these two bear-men were merely transformed from ordinary beast spirit walkers, and their strength was far inferior to that of the bear-men created by Volibear, such as the Hunting Lord.

Just after Sejuani dealt with the first bear-man, Olaf appeared before another bear-man.

He swung his axe wildly at the ice sculpture, dismembering it completely in no time.

"Hoo~!"

Sejuani and Olaf exchanged a long breath and looked at each other.

Both of them had a solemn look in their eyes.

Two ordinary bear-men were enough of a headache for them; if there were more bear-men behind them, their actions would become extremely difficult.

After exchanging a glance, the two continued walking deeper into Bearman Island.
