--- Chapter 219 ---

[You have completed Prevent the Invaders Quest]

[Rewarding Banging Head Against A Wooden Wall (Passive), 100k System Points, 1x Dragon Heart Fruit]

Yunlong's face became weird for a second when hearing what new skill just gained from this quest. "Huh?" He tilted his head in confusion.

[Skill Name: Banging Head Against A Wooden Wall (Passive)]

[Description: reduce incoming physical damage by 15% and instantly recovered a portion of one's strength and stamina when received life-threatening attack to counterattack enemy]

Yunlong quietly stared at the system panel with a bewildered expression because this passive skill literally could be a trump card for him in a death battle.

Even though the skill name was quite amusing, Yunlong was really amazed by its function.. "What a skill..." He couldn't help but praise his newly attained skill.

[You have obtained 126,969 new skills]

[The System has detected a lot of similar skills...]

[Do you want to process these new skills with the enhanced system mode?]

[Y/N]

"Sure," Yunlong responded with a shrug, but then he remembered something.

"Actually, let's fuse all of them first and then combine the suitable ones to Banging Head Against A Wooden Wall." He continued with a smirk on his face.

[Fusing...]

[...]

[...]

Yunlong slowly moved his gaze to the charred snowy battlefield and saw his cursed death knights approach him. Singa walked in the front with a great black sword on his back.

They arrived in front of Yunlong and respectfully bowed their bodies at him. "Your majesty." A hoarse voice escaped Singa's helmet.

"Eh, you can talk now?" Yunlong looked at Singa with a surprised expression.

Singa firmly nodded his head and quietly responded, "Even though we couldn't match your mighty strength... Are you satisfied with our performance?"

The other cursed death knight suddenly raised their heads slightly and gazed at Yunlong with a flicker of expectation. They died in the past because of an unwanted curse, but this person brought them back.

Their new master brought them back from the underworld and gave them another chance to live, granting them another opportunity to fight against powerful foes.

Yunlong looked upon his cursed death knight, and he could feel their expectation for him. They wanted recognition, so he would gladly give it to them.

"You're doing great." Yunlong assuredly praised with a smile on his face. "Thank you for the hard work."

Yunlong's words weren't flowery, nor was he over-praising his cursed death knight. It's a simple compliment filled with confidence for his loyal vassal.

"Thank you, your majesty." Singa naturally dropped his head.

"You can rest now. I'll call you guys later." Yunlong said while canceling his summoning, to which the legion responded with a firm salute.

As the entire legion disappeared, Yunlong briefly watched over the battlefield.

He immediately extinguished Amaterasu with his eternal mangekyou sharingan because it literally wouldn't stop burning this snowy land.

"My control has become much better now," Yunlong commented while deactivating his eternal mangekyou sharingan.

Yunlong glanced at the system panel and saw the process wasn't even half done, which is quite understandable because he literally gained over 100,000 skills.

Gu Yuena suddenly smashed the snow in front of him and spat some onto him accidentally.

Yunlong dodged casually by tilting his body and commented, "You don't have to be that aggressive, you know."

"It's your fault for standing there." Gu Yuena replied while walking toward the sealed space, which caused Yunlong to chuckle slightly.

Gu Yuena observed the area keenly and touched the fabric space with her gentle touch. "Mhm, I sealed it." She proudly nodded.

She turned around and naturally asked, "What's about that guy who came out of the dimensional crack? Did you kill him?"

"Unfortunately, that man didn't die." Yunlong shook his head slightly. "It seemed that blasting his head wasn't enough to kill him."

Gu Yuena frowned for a moment and slowly sighed because she couldn't do anything about it. Even though it really could be troublesome in the future, she must focus on making Yunlong stronger at the moment.

'I could track that man, but I don't want to open the dimensional crack again.' Gu Yuena thought while looking at Yunlong.

'Especially after I sealed it just a few seconds ago.' She inwardly continued, which kind of irritates her for some reason.

"Yunlong, it's time to go?" Kaguya casually leaped through space and arrived beside Yunlong. "We don't have anything to do here anymore."

"Well, that's true..." Yunlong responded with a nod.

"Please wait." Snow Empress suddenly descended toward them.

"What do you want?" Gu Yuena immediately questioned while crossing her arms because she didn't like Snow Empress and Ice Emperor.

"I just want to say thank you." Snow Empress confidently answered while solemnly looking at Gu Yuena.

"I'd not forget your help for the extreme north and assuredly will pay this help back in the future." She continued while moving her gaze to Yunlong.

"You don't have to wait," Yunlong responded with a smirk.

"Hmm?" Snow Empress frowned and tilted her head a little.

"You want to pay me back, right?" Yunlong asked while walking toward her, to which Snow Empress responded with a nod.

Snow Empress raised her head and gazed at Yunlong's reddish eyes, which quickly captivated her. "Yes, I want to pay you back." She replied.

"Then be my maid." Yunlong abruptly asserted, which left Snow Empress and Gu Yuena speechless.

"W-What?" Snow Empress was surprised and slowly stepped back in awe. "Are you serious?"

Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and answered, "I am serious. It's up to you want to agree or not."

"However, It's you who wanted to pay me back, not the other way around." He pushed the thought slightly more, which put Snow Empress in a weird position.

Snow Empress had great pride over herself, and Yunlong knew that because she could be ranked second overall in this continent era.

However, Snow Empress's pride was much lesser compared to her love for her home. She is a spirit of snow and control over the ultimate snow element, born here and became ruler of the extreme north after years.

"Ah yeah, if you become my maid, we eventually would ally against those dark creatures again because this definitely is not their last attack." Yunlong suddenly declared, which caught Snow Empress off guard.

"How did you know?" Snow Empress hurriedly questioned.

"Unfortunately, Yunlong's words could be the truth." Gu Yuena entered the conversation with an annoyed expression.

"I sealed the dimensional crack, but it wasn't the only way to enter this place." She continued while raising her gaze.

"The sky..." Snow Empress muttered in surprise.

"The outer space, to be precise." Snow Empress stated while remembering something.

"Snow... I can be his maid if you want." The Ice Emperor approached the Snow Empress from behind. "We couldn't let this happen again."

Ice Emperor's words caused the last blow to Snow Empress's pride, which caused her to release a frustrated sigh.

"No... I'm the snow empress, and this is my duty." Snow Empress quickly rebutted and moved her gaze back to Yunlong.

"I'll be your maid." She said confidently.

Yunlong smirked inside and slowly handed his right hand at Snow Empress, who shook her head in defeat.

Snow Empress shook Yunlong's hand and said, "After this alliance ends, I'll immediately resign."

"Happy Cooperation," Yunlong replied while smiling at her.

"From now on, the Northern Alliance was formed."
