The sun dimmed gradually before it descended below the horizon.

Icy auras gradually filled the air as well.

On the black plains, a long stretch of white ”tides” surged out from the furthest point, sweeping across while charging toward the area at which Garen and the enormous beast were located.

Strangely, it spread open and uncoiled automatically in the area where the enormous beast was located. It continued moving forward as if it did not see the beast at all before it approached Garen's position quickly.

Inside the cave, Garen could faintly detect the sound of certain movements. However, when the defenses that had been set up to stand guard outside did not have any responses, he suppressed the anxiety in his mind and continued absorbing the auras.

Hiss…

Suddenly, the faint sound of an insect that was tearing and biting something echoed into the cave from the outside.

Beep…

The invisible temporary defenses let out a sharp alert immediately.

Garen's heart trembled before he paused his absorption frantically and kept his Semi-Divine Weapon back into his Space Ring.

He turned around and looked at the entrance of the cave where seemingly countless, tiny, densely-packed white ants had surged inside there at an unknown time.

The ant colony that poured in was accompanied by a terrifyingly-low temperature that was as cold as negative seventy to eighty degrees, rushing inside frantically.

”An Ice Ant Tide?” Garen was obviously aware of this natural disaster. Although every single one of these Ice Ants looked tiny and were only the size of a human palm, they were genuine Level Two creatures. Their bodies were feeble, but their teeth were invincible and even dragon scales for no match for the tough bones that they could gnaw.

When he saw that so many of these Ice Ants were charging towards him, he sighed in relief instead. He would have been slightly worried if they were Fire Ants. However, since they were Ice Ants, and since he was, fortunately, an ice-type Colossal Dragon, it would be easier to handle them in this aspect.

He sprayed out a mouthful of Dragon Breath. Garen's current Dragon Breath already possessed the power and momentum of an Adult Colossal Dragon. His Frost Aura instantly made the Ice Ants livelier. Aside from their hard teeth, their most threatening ability was actually their naturally intense low temperature. Low temperatures of negative seventy to eighty degrees would accompany them as they moved and advance endlessly. Other than actual ice-type creatures, most other creatures could not handle these effects at all. Moreover, these low temperatures also harbored certain types of ice-type toxins. However, Garen's Vitality was immune to it. Nonetheless, if another Peak Level Nine Wizard of the same level was here instead of him, the situation would probably be very troublesome, because when their magic spells would inevitably be exhausted; they would truly only be at the creatures' mercy when the ice-type toxins entered their body. Fortunately, Garen's physique was stronger and unlike theirs.

The movements of these large colonies of Ice Ants were slowed down when they were blown by Garen's Dragon Breath. When they increased their icy auras simultaneously, this made Garen feel as if the creatures on the other side were of a slightly similar species to himself.

The main characteristic of this Ice Ant Tide was that they would only gnaw at creatures that did not have low temperatures. Since the blood of White Dragons was at temperatures of zero degrees and below, they were naturally a typical example of low-temperature creatures.

Therefore, the seas of Ice Ants that poured in were pushed out easily.

It was merely a false alarm.

Garen exhaled but the feeling of unremovable chills that kept springing up remained in his mind. He scanned his surroundings, yet he was still unable to find any abnormalities.

He sighed in relief and was about to continue his absorption before a black shadow of a human-shaped smoke passed through directly in front of him suddenly.

Garen was about to hide but was unable to do it in time. However, he noticed immediately that the other party merely passed through his body directly. It seemed as though it was not substantial at all.

He felt his body weakening slightly at the same time.

Shh…

The humanoid creature condensed behind him and floated in the darkness of the cave. It was basically a shroud of black smoke that had formed into a human silhouette. He could not see its face at all, only its blurry limbs.

”Void Shadow?” Garen was slightly shocked before he said, ”Isn't this a creature from the Undead World?”

Creatures like Void Shadows were very troublesome. It was disastrous every time they appeared on the surface of the Main Substance World.

They were immune to the innate laws of things and even had a fifty percent dodging rate towards enchantments and spell attacks. Moreover, they would weaken the powers of the other party every time they touched other creatures.

The debilitation of their abilities was everlasting and extremely despicable. Unless you could kill the Void Shadow that had absorbed your powers, you would eternally lose the part of your strength that they had absorbed.

Garen furrowed his eyebrows faintly while looking at the Void Shadow before him. The most troublesome aspect of Void Shadows was not this, but the fact that most of them usually appeared in groups.

Every time they killed a creature, they would develop it as a part of themselves to form the next Void Shadow. Thus, these Void Shadows would appear in groups under normal circumstances. As a peak powerhouse in the aspect of physical attacks, Garen was the most annoyed at creatures like these that were immune to these types of physical attacks.

His Spellcrafting strength was only at Level Five, and he did not have any Enchanted Equipment either.

Garen had just thought of this before more than ten densely-packed Void Shadows appeared inside the cave. His scalp tingled immediately.

”This is troublesome…”

The previous Void Shadow had taken away half of his strength when it pounced on him once. If so many Void Shadows were to set on him together, wouldn't his strength which exceeded eighty points vanish completely within a few moments?

He felt as if his Vitality was strong while he was still standing on the Main Substance Plane previously. Aside from being immune to spells, he was also not very concerned with Spellcrafting and Arcane Techniques as he felt that there were no forces besides Level Eight Space-Time Spells that could challenge him. However, after he had experienced using spells in Snow City to strengthen his physical attacks such as Warhammer, and witnessed the supernatural powers that were brought on by the Void Shadows now, did he understand that purely walking on the path of physics was not the true path of this world.
