Chapter 1171 Bitter Situation

The lord of Purgatory, his eyes ablaze with a mixture of fear and anger, directed his fervent command at the trembling demon cultivator who had delivered the unsettling news. His voice, echoing with a resonance that reverberated through the vast expanse of Nifelheim, carried an intensity that brooked no disobedience.

"You, you must ascertain this rumor," he thundered, his fingers gripping the demon cultivator's shoulder with a vice-like force. "Find out to the very bottom of this if it's true or not! I need full detail and clarity of the matter! Find everything about him!!!"

The lord's imperious demand hung heavy in the air, the urgency and desperation palpable. The once-still throne room now buzzed with an energy fueled by uncertainty and the looming threat of a past believed to be eradicated. The demon cultivator, still recovering from the lord's earlier wrath, nodded vigorously in acknowledgment, understanding the gravity of the task assigned to him.

As the demon cultivator scurried away to carry out the directive, the lord of Purgatory remained standing in the center of his domain, surrounded by the icy grandeur of Nifelheim. His eyes, haunted by the specter of Regalia Festivale, bore a silent vow to unravel the truth that now threatened to shatter the carefully constructed illusions of his rule. The intensity of the moment lingered, a portent of revelations yet to unfold in the frigid realms of Purgatory. n()0vεlB1n

In the ethereal silence of the ice cave, Harvestasya persisted in her haggling with the Ice Spirit, eager to unravel the mysteries concealed within its frosty depths. The mischievous banter between the two unfolded amidst the translucent walls of ice, each refusal met with Harvestasya's persistent attempts to sway the spirit's resolve.

Their interactions, however, abruptly ceased as a sinister wave of aura swept through the cavern. The air grew heavy with an ominous presence, freezing both Harvestasya and the Ice Spirit in their tracks. Their attention shifted, mirroring the same direction as they faced the source of the encroaching malevolence.

The Ice Spirit, in its enigmatic wisdom, muttered with a tone tinged with both annoyance and resignation, "What does he want now..."

The question lingered in the frigid air, echoing through the crystalline expanse of the cave. Whatever force had disrupted the delicate balance of the ice cavern, both Harvestasya and the Ice Spirit awaited the unfolding events with a shared sense of apprehension. The enigmatic aura had woven an unsettling tapestry, foretelling that the tranquil depths of the ice cave might soon be shaken by external forces beyond their immediate comprehension.

Amidst the encroaching ominous aura, Harvestasya's eyes glinted with curiosity and determination. She discerned a shift in the Ice Spirit's focus, an opportunity she couldn't resist. Swiftly, she harnessed the power of the runes adorning her boots, their ethereal glow lighting her path as she darted through the icy expanse.

"Oi! Stop there!" echoed the exasperated voice of the Ice Spirit, a mixture of frustration and amusement coloring its words. Unleashing a cascade of ice spikes, the spirit attempted to thwart Harvestasya's impromptu exploration, each frozen shard aiming to impede her progress.

The Ice Spirit, nervously shifting its stance, questioned, "Do you know who you're dealing with?!"

In the heart of the ice cavern, a colossal ice block stood as a silent witness to the unfolding drama. Within its frozen confines lay a woman of ethereal beauty, her iridescent hair cascading like a waterfall of moonlight. Yet, her eyes were closed, as if veiled in a serene slumber. One of her hands, tragically severed, left behind a haunting reminder of torment, with traces of blood marring the otherwise pristine ice.

Harvestasya's attention shifted to the imprisoned figure, and her features contorted with a mix of sorrow and rage. "Look at her," she urged the Ice Spirit, her voice cutting through the frigid silence. "Look at the result of your callousness, the consequence of your cruel actions."

The Ice Spirit, compelled by an unseen force, directed its gaze toward the captive woman.

"This woman, a being of grace and beauty, now reduced to suffering within your frozen embrace," Harvestasya continued her words resonating with a profound sadness. "What transgressions led her to this fate, and why did you choose to inflict such torment upon her?"

The Ice Spirit, seemingly stripped of its haughty demeanor, struggled to articulate a response. Harvestasya, however, was unyielding. "I demand answers, and I demand justice. No entity, no matter how ancient or formidable, is exempt from the consequences of cruelty."

"She was hunted! She chose this fate herself, she begged me for it!" the Ice Spirit pleaded, its tone carrying a hint of desperation.

"What?" Harvestasya responded, her eyes widening in surprise. The notion that the woman had willingly embraced such a fate seemed inconceivable, challenging the very core of Harvestasya's understanding.

"The Devil Cultivators hunted her! Look around!" the Ice Spirit implored, drawing Harvestasya's attention to the frozen walls of the cavern. As her gaze swept across the encased figures, the truth began to crystallize. Devil Cultivators, trapped within icy confines, bore witness to the pervasive malevolence that had plagued this place.

A profound sadness gripped Harvestasya as she surveyed the scene, realizing the extent of the suffering that had unfolded within these ice-laden walls. The cavern, once a sanctuary, had transformed into a chilling tableau of desperation and survival.

Amidst the imprisoned figures, Harvestasya's eyes fell upon a flower encased in the same icy grip as the woman. The juxtaposition of delicate beauty encased in an unyielding prison echoed the tragedy that befell those ensnared by the Devil Cultivators' pursuit.

"Empress..." Harvestasya whispered, her voice carrying a poignant reflection of the intricate web of suffering that intertwined with nature itself.
