Void Beetle Evolution Guide

The ice...it actually melted!!!

Everyone present was probably seeing this for the first time, and they were all stunned and wide-eyed. Even Olaf, who had gone mad under the influence of the berserk blood, showed signs of returning to his senses.

The bear-man lord continuously electrified the axe, causing it to tremble violently in its hand, as if imbued with immense magnetic force. Then, with a sudden burst of power, using electromagnetic acceleration, it slammed the axe back towards Olaf like a railgun, at least ten times the speed at which he had thrown it!

Under the influence of the powerful magnetic field, the flying axe transformed into a black lightning bolt, carrying the force of thunder, and in an instant it flew to Olaf's side.

Sejuani reacted extremely quickly, swinging her flail with lightning speed to desperately block the flying axe.

With a loud "bang," like the resounding of a great bell, the powerful impact shook the very air.

Sejuani gripped the leather handle of the flail tightly, prepared to endure the pain, but she still felt a jolt in her hand, and the flail was almost pulled out of her grasp by a powerful force. Her entire arm went numb instantly, as if she had lost all feeling.

Fortunately, her powerful strike successfully deflected the axe. The axe, which was originally aimed straight at Olaf's head, veered off course and embedded itself deeply in the stone wall beside him, with the blade mostly buried in the wall, leaving only the handle trembling outside.

Olaf, instead of being grateful to Sejuani, was furious and started cursing as Sejuani dragged him back from the death he had longed for.

"Damn it! I can handle this myself, you don't need to worry about it!"

"You can't die now, we need you!"

The two could not hear each other's voices, or even their own; they were each venting their emotions by talking to themselves.

However, this obstacle also allowed them to successfully approach the bear-man lord.

Sejuani violently pulled on the reins, and Steelmane, like a mad beast, snorted and rammed into the bear lord with all four hooves.

The bear-man lord seemed intimidated by their ferocious momentum, actually shifting its feet to avoid the powerful charge of the steel-maned creature. However, it couldn't dodge the flail strike that Sejuani followed up with.

It hurriedly swung its claws, trying to knock off the flail. The moment the hammer head collided with the bear's paw, it made a shattering sound, much crisper than a broken bone.

The bear lord's paw was completely smashed, and the bone and blood at the break point instantly turned into ice shards under the effect of the extreme cold of the ice, rough and uneven, without a single drop of blood falling.

It let out a painful roar, the sound echoing through the mountain stream, filled with anger and resentment.

"You bastard! Take this from your father!" His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared as he leaped high into the air with all his might, as if he wanted to split the mountain stream in two.

Just as the axe was about to strike the bear-man lord, an invisible yet powerful force suddenly struck.

His axe, which he swung with all his might, was once again stopped by the lightning controlled by the bear-man lord.

The superiority or inferiority of True Ice weapons was now clearly evident. Sejuani's North Wind Flail was entirely forged from True Ice, making it largely unaffected by electromagnetic fields. Olaf's Great Axe, on the other hand, only had a thin layer of True Ice covering its blade; its main body was black iron, making it naturally unable to withstand lightning.

The stubborn Olaf refused to believe in evil, and because he was obsessed with something, he endured the numbness brought by the electric current with his flesh and blood, and used a roar of equal force to suppress the axe. He even managed to suppress the electromagnetic power of the bear lord for a time, and pressed the axe against the latter's head.

However, he was ultimately no match for the lightning, for he refused to let go of the axe and was pulled into the air by the surging lightning. Even so, he held onto the red-hot axe, even as his hands burned and his skin sizzled from the intense heat, he refused to let go.

Udyr, transformed into a bear-man, arrived just in time. Upon seeing this, the bear-man lord's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He swung his arm sharply, tossing the berserker behind him like trash.

Olaf crashed heavily onto the rocks behind him, an ice spike piercing his skin. Yet he stood up and burst into wild, jubilant laughter. This brush with death was what gave him a sense of being alive.

Amidst wild laughter, the two bear-men clashed head-on, wielding their massive claws crackling with electricity. In an instant, lightning erupted from them, its dazzling light engulfing the entire ravine, blinding everyone who saw it.

When the light faded, the one-armed bear-man stood there. Above its head, in the sea of ​​clouds above the mountain stream, the giant bear's phantom reappeared!

Udyr did not give his all to the bear spirit, so even though he tried his best, he still lost.

This bear-man lord was once just like him, a human, and also a gifted beast spirit walker.

Unlike Udyr, it devoted itself entirely to the raging bear spirit. Because of this, it gained invincible power, making it impossible for Udyr to defeat it using only the bear spirit.

Steelmane couldn't stop its charge, so Sejuani simply jumped off its back, rolled once, and landed firmly.

She approached the bear-man lord from behind, who was engulfed in rage, and swept the Winter's Fury with all her might.

The ice from the flail struck the bear-man lord's hind leg, causing it to buckle and his tall body to stagger and sway.

Sejuani's warriors swarmed around it like hungry wolves, thrusting their spears fiercely into its sides.

Thrust out, twist it, and withdraw from the danger zone, giving no chance to retaliate.

An inch longer, an inch stronger; yet unable to touch him, and with his spells repeatedly interrupted, the frustrated bear-man lord roared angrily to the sky.

As the steel spearhead continued to pierce its body, blood stained the snow, and its powerful aura rapidly weakened.

"You have absolutely no honor!"

As if he had been subjected to a thousand cuts and spears, the bear-man lord left behind words of unbearable humiliation, and his riddled body finally gave way, collapsing to the ground with a thud under the gaze of the crowd.

Udir, who was standing nearby, was so shocked by these last words that his hair stood on end and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He felt no sense of relief after victory; instead, he was enveloped by deep fear.

Because he knew better than anyone else present that a person who has lost self-awareness is completely incapable of speaking.

If they speak, there's only one possibility—the bear spirit is speaking through this body!

And this often means... Xiong Ling is furious!

Chapter 309 Lightning Whip

Boom!

The bear-man lord had just fallen when a thick bolt of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, tearing through the ravine and striking its corpse.

Lightning raged wildly through its flesh and blood, and the scars glowed eerily in the light of the lightning. The shattered remains were miraculously repaired amidst the thunder and lightning!

Its flesh and blood were scattered, and its muscles, hair, and bones began to separate. Endless lightning, like an invisible bond, reconnected them, making this tyrannical half-bear monster an even more terrifying existence!

The bear-man lord stood up again, surrounded by crackling lightning, each bolt a manifestation of its rage, radiating an extremely dangerous aura.

"For glory!"

Olaf hadn't had enough of the fight yet, and now that he saw the bear-man lord come back from the dead and become even stronger, the fighting spirit in his eyes instantly burned to the extreme. Without saying a word, he charged forward like a mad bull that had just drawn blood.

The Lokfa Peninsula is one of the wildest and coldest regions in the entire Freljord; only those with fire flowing in their blood can endure it.

You need to live in that environment.

The warriors there are usually tall, lean, and tenacious, but Olaf is so tall and strong that his mother looks like she's slept with a troll, taller and stronger than anyone else.

Only in this way can we explain why he is so reckless, and why there is no human being more insane than him in the entire Freljord.

Facing the charging berserker, the bear-man lord simply grabbed at it with his bare hands. He actually caught the lightning bolt in his hand and used it as a physical whip!

It swung its lightning whip fiercely, the dazzling bolt of lightning lashing out at Olaf. The berserker, caught in mid-air, had no chance to dodge and was struck squarely by the lightning.

"Snapped!"

With a crackling sound, a powerful electric current instantly pierced through his body, and he was like a flying cannonball embedded in the mountain, finally crashing heavily to the ground and lying motionless.

Sejuani's eyes widened in shock. Her most powerful and hardest-to-kill warrior was covered in black smoke, his neatly braided orange beard was completely disheveled, and the iron plate on his chest had melted from the high temperature, exposing the charred flesh inside. He had been electrocuted and passed out.

When the bear-man lord turned around, his eyes, filled with electric shocks, stared straight at her, Sejuani felt the hair on the back of her head stand on end, whether from static electricity or fear, she couldn't tell.

Her mouth watered, and she adopted a defensive posture like a wild beast, her lips turned back to reveal her teeth, as if ready to bite off the other person's throat at any moment.

"Snapped!"

The bear-man lord swung his lightning whip again, and an even thicker and faster bolt of lightning shot towards Sejuani.

Having witnessed the power of the Lightning Whip firsthand, Sejuani dared not be as overconfident as Olaf, and desperately lunged to the side. The whip struck the ground at her feet, causing an explosion that sent Sejuani flying, and the flail slipping from her grasp.

Sejuani fell heavily to the ground, the frozen river surface making her slippery, until she finally came to a stop against the wall at the bottom of the ravine.

Egg-sized ice shards rained down on her, and Sejuani, lying at the bottom of the cliff, felt excruciating pain all over her body, as if every bone in her body was groaning.

After landing a successful blow, the bear-man lord did not stop, but instead pressed closer and closer to Sejuani.

She tried to stand up, but found that her ankle, which had been severely injured in the roll, was completely unresponsive. If it weren't for the adrenaline rush, she probably would have fainted from the pain.

A brave warrior stepped forward, gripping his spear and charging fearlessly toward the bear-man lord.

However, he didn't have Sejuani's sturdy armor, nor Olaf's powerful physique. After being struck by the lightning whip, he was instantly reduced to charred remains and cut in two.

Looking at the raging lightning in the sky and the bear-man lord standing before her like a demon god, Sejuani, who never yielded, felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Could this be the end for me?" she thought desperately, but images of her people kept flashing through her mind.

The newborn baby cried for milk, but the mother was too thin to produce much milk; she barely made it through the breastfeeding period, but couldn't survive the cold and died in the second winter; the wounded soldiers lay in their makeshift tents, groaning in pain... The thought of her people who still needed her gave this war mother courage once again.

Sejuani ripped off the frozen towel, gritted her teeth, and, enduring the excruciating pain, tightly wrapped it around her fractured ankle several times. With immense difficulty, she leaned against the wall and stood up again, ready to fight to the very last moment.

Her unwavering will slightly moved the bear-man lord, and the wrinkles around his mouth caused by baring his teeth seemed to soften a little. But the thought that these people had come to steal the urn made him unleash his lightning whip in a fit of rage.

In the critical moment, a tall bear-man suddenly rushed over and stood in front of her, taking the lash of lightning for her.

This figure was none other than Udyr in his bear-man form.

Although Udyr and Sejuani's father-daughter relationship has never been publicly acknowledged, in order to protect his only bloodline, he resolutely chose to stand up and use his own body to build an unbreakable barrier for Sejuani.

He felt he owed his daughter far too much.

He left long before Sejuani was even in her mother's womb and not yet showing. By the time he returned, Sejuani had already grown into the Warmother of the strongest tribe in the North. Even if he wanted to make amends, she no longer needed it.

He heard that Sejuani's mother did not love her, and that her only caring grandmother had died when she was very young.

The mother was lazy and inactive. To ensure that her people could have enough to eat, she had risked her life more than once since she was a teenager, crossing the icy sea alone to snatch food from the bear people's territory.

It can be said that every step she has taken to achieve what she has today is the result of her own hard work and has nothing to do with Udir. He has not fulfilled even the slightest responsibility as a father.

This made Udyr feel both guilty and gratified. Although Sejuani did not hate him for leaving and accepted his service, she never fully regarded him as a sworn father.

This became a thorn in Udyr's side, constantly pricking his heart as he longed for his daughter's true approval.

The lightning surged, its lashes leaving deep, charred scars on Udir's chest, yet he remained motionless, never faltering.

He roared to the sky, as if taunting the bear-man lord, shouting again and again, "Again!"

It wasn't the bear-man's body that was incredibly resilient, but rather the deep-rooted kinship in his veins and the profound sense of guilt he felt towards Sejuani that transformed into a powerful driving force, supporting Udyr to stand firm and steadfastly protect his pride behind him.

He borrowed the power of the bear spirit but acted against it. The bear-man lord was enraged, baring his teeth and crackling with electricity.

It bound Udyr with its lightning whip, lifted him into the air, and was about to throw him when an ice crystal arrow carrying a terrifying chill pierced through the air.

The arrow struck the bear-man lord, triggering a violent explosion that instantly froze him into an ice sculpture, with the rapidly growing ice crystals even freezing lightning within them.

"A shaman? A shaman?!"

Sejuani was frantic. As Udyr transformed back into human form and plummeted from mid-air like a kite with a broken string, she ignored the pain in her injured foot and dragged herself forward to check on his injury.

Udyr's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his chest was torn open. Like Olaf, he had fallen into a coma.

A series of hurried footsteps came from downstream, and Sejuani instinctively looked up. As the familiar yet unfamiliar figure gradually came into view, her gaze instantly became extremely complex.

It's Ashe.

Sejuani had a premonition when she saw the ice arrow, but when she actually saw Ashe and met her eyes, she felt a different kind of helplessness.

Sejuani felt as if a jumble of emotions had been thrown into a whirlpool. There was the joy of a long-awaited reunion, but also the malice of meeting an enemy; the other person's appearance brought hope, but also made her feel humiliated for accepting help.

If Ashe hadn't broken with her out of pity for the Warmbloods, the Alliance of Avarosa wouldn't have existed, and Winter's Claw wouldn't have been forced into such a predicament, having to risk everything to steal from the Bearmen.

But she also had to admit that Ashe made the right choice by not continuing to live under someone else's roof and instead choosing to go out on her own.

No one could have imagined that she could unite so many tribes in the south and create a wall of sighs that made these raiding tribes hesitate to advance. Her leadership and appeal were truly amazing.

On the other side, Ashe, who had run all the way from several miles away, looked at Sejuani, whose eyes were full of vigilance, and hesitated to move forward.

but

Having already stood here, she had no reason to back out, and immediately strode confidently toward Sejuani.

Sejuani immediately bared her teeth; Ashe's approach felt like the scorching sun burning her. Fortunately, the silence of the bear spirit enveloped the space, so they didn't have to endure the awkwardness of communicating.

Before the two could reunite, an unexpected event occurred.

Intense lightning erupted from the ice sculpture, and the bear-man lord broke free from the ice's confinement. The thick ice shell on his body suddenly shattered, sending sparks flying everywhere. Those still standing raised their hands to block the flames.

Without saying a word, it lashed out at Ashe with its lightning whip.

At that moment, a dark figure darted out from behind Ashe, grabbed the Lightning Whip, and slammed into the Bearman Lord, his shoulder hitting its chest, sending it flying backward.

Sejuani's eyelids twitched violently. The newcomer was tall and terrifying, with bulging muscles all over his body. His purplish-black scales were nested with a layer of bone armor, and three narrow eyes on his mouthless helmet emitted a cold purple light, staring unblinkingly at the bear-man lord.

Chapter 310 A Powerful Debut

"It's you!" The bear-man lord roared, as if a thunderstorm had seized its throat and turned it into language.

It has become the spokesperson for the Bear Spirit, and immediately recognized Kai'Sa, with whom it had fought fiercely in Hearth Village.

In an instant, the enormous figure of the giant bear reappeared from the depths of the sea of ​​clouds, majestic and awe-inspiring. It even lowered its head and looked down into the mountain stream with piercing eyes, as if it wanted to take in everything.

Sejuani was increasingly confused. The bear spirit did not acknowledge Udyr, who was born with the ability to communicate with beast spirits, nor did it acknowledge the indomitable will of the Winter's Claw, yet it bowed its head to a monster.

Who could be someone that Xiong Ling could be so concerned about?

Kaisa did not respond to the bear lord's roar. She simply released her paws from the ground, stood up, and glanced at her palms.
