Chapter 257 - A Penguin at War!
Chapter 257 - A Penguin at War!
In another part of the starry space, a particular world that held a frozen outer layer was feeling the tides of change for the first time in many years.
The inhabitants of the Icebound World found themselves at the precipice of something new as the Frost Race gained a new protector that they took as their leader!
Not too long ago, a group of beings had appeared on the battlefield where yet another war was brought to the doors of the Frost Race by the tyranny of the Ice Giants.
Being a race of giants with impeccable strength, the Ice Giants sought for more land and resources as they targeted the weaker Frost Race located in the northern region of the Icebound World first, their eyes set on the Humans populating the east soon after.
The Ice Giants were a powerful race of beings that were naturally strong since their birth, becoming even stronger as they grew in the extremely cold conditions of the Icebound World and became very proficient in Ice Attributed abilities. Their robust bodies required an enormous amount of resources, making them extremely greedy for more lands where they could procure what they wanted.
During a crucial fight where the Frost Race continued to see colossal losses from the obscene strength that the Ice Giants portrayed, they felt blessings shine down from above as powerful figures appeared on the battlefield to lend a hand and push the Ice Giants back!
"RAA! RAA! RAA!"
Calling out stupendous battle-cries, a group of powerful beings appeared to aid them at the last moment! At the forefront was a gloriously sleek Emperor Penguin that let out deadly attacks of the spatial attribute, and accompanying him was a fiery phoenix, a much too talkative human with a party of beast girls, and a collection of powerful Calamities of the Sea accompanied by many more other beasts that followed behind the sleek Penguin.
Their power was unlike anything the beings of the Icebound World had seen before, showing stupendous strength that stopped the invaders on their tracks and began a campaign of their own. There was the powerful Swordsman known as Kazuhiko, who valiantly fought on the front lines with his treasured Katana while taking care of his balanced party of beast girls. The large number of beasts and Calamities of the Sea also made for a surprising addition as the terrifying Kraken was seeing strangling Ice Giants with its many arms and tentacles.
Their power had produced a grand effect as they pushed the Ice Giants back and finally stopped their advance towards the North, gaining the favor of the Frost Race as they were treated with the highest respect. The beings of the Icebound World gradually came to know these powerful saviors, preparing themselves for a better world as they felt the tides of change occurring right in front of their eyes.
A few more days passed where the newcomers continued to push back the Ice Giants, being so dominant that the Frost Race termed the Emperor Penguin and his followers as Generals of their Race!
They were a race that loved nature and peace, with the Frost King being the one most in tune with nature and abhorring war. When the opportunity came to side with these powerful new individuals that fought on their behalf, the Frost King quickly jumped at the opportunity and made them his generals, giving them all the power they wanted as long as his people were kept safe.
A week passed as grand battles were fought, the Emperor Penguin and his forces gaining more and more status and power, becoming indispensable from the forces of the Frost Race and the cowering humans in the East.
After seeing the very close similarities of the leader of their saviors and a particular race of beings in the northern lands, the Frost King even allowed another species of the Frost Race, the coldbourne Chinstrap Penguins, to be the official helpers that took care of all the needs of their saviors. The arctic penguins took this role with the highest dignity as they looked up to the grandiose figure of the Emperor Penguin, feeling extreme reverence as they observed the glossy layer of feathers they only imagined in their dreams.
In a particularly large ice fortress near the border of the North and South of the Icebound World, the sleek Emperor Penguin was no longer miniaturized as he was proudly displaying his form with a size of more than five meters.
He sat upon a huge magnificently built throne made of resplendent ice as a shining icy crown was added atop its smooth head. The Icy Crown shone with a gorgeous color, being a unique treasure of the Icebound World that the Frost King had given to the Emperor Penguin.
Its gaze was full of pride and power as it looked around the room, watching Kazuhiko trying to flirt with the Imperial Phoenix while the other beasts were being catered to by the rapidly moving arctic penguins that a wore small tuxedos with shining blow ties that made them very prominent in the room.
The Emperor Penguin had asked his master for cool clothing he could give to his distinguished followers, and had his expectations exceeded when Noah quickly teleported in and left behind these clothes he came to know were called tuxedos. They made his followers look so distinguished that he almost wanted to change back to his miniaturized size and wear one himself. The arrogant penguin found himself thinking yet again- his master was actually not too bad!
DONG
At this moment, a sound could be heard in the distance that signified a call to arms, with some well-dressed penguins quickly entering the wide room in the fortress and looking towards the Emperor Penguin.
"Sir Ice Spirit! the King of Giants, Larruk, is gathering all of his forces for an all out attack!"
Panic was all over the faces of the beings of the Frost Race as they heard the terrible name of the King of the Ice Giants.
OONG!
Essence was released with the Emperor Penguin at the center as his body lifted up and his beady eyes looked around.
"Hmph, a mere giant king is nothing to worry about. Let’s go!"
Waves of power were released as the beings that followed behind the Emperor Penguin shook their heads deprecatingly at this aquatic bird that held an overabundance of pride and confidence as their figures moved out.
They assembled the forces of the Frost Race as they went forward to meet the Ruler of the Ice Giants that were the main cause of war and death in the Icebound World!
