Chapter 129 - a old snow spirit wisdom

We find are hero on the week of Christmas or better known as the months of long ice and the day of Christmas is called Santas meed since instead of milk and cookies it was known to all that you leave out meed and cookies for Santa Claus well cookies or cooked meat funny enough Santa was real he was a very jolly and ancient snow cripted that reached the godly stake thousands of years ago so basically he was just a very old and powerful cultivator that only come out of seclusion ones a year to give joy to those who was nice and to beat those who was not he carried this stocking that had a bunch of cole in it that's where the hole cole thing comes from he doesn't put it in your stocking o no he beats you with his own stocking full of cole as for his sled it was a work of art to was his reindeer both was beautiful you might be wondering how I know so much about the jolly bastard and its simple every year on Christmas night the old saint nick and I have a friend brawl and to make it fun the old saint nick lowers his powers to about my level he says its my level but I have never believed the old bastard sense I struggle to fight him if his power was at my level I would hands down win sense I am unmatched at my rank hell the holy reason I last so long against him is cuz of the fact I can fight way above my rank ever year I either lost or we tied so we find our self on this wonderful day everyone was in the holiday spirit so much so that my girls out music stone in each rooms to play Christmas music an you couldn't go 10 feet without finding hot chocolate or eggnog spiced with the good good shit hehe my hole house was full of people singing and drinking but where was I that's simple I was in the training room in the corner behind me were many huge slabs connected to a wire and in my hands was two handles that had the wires connected to my arms was spread out I took a few deep breaths before I brought my arms to my chest all of the slabs lifted up off the ground as I did so I held my arms to my chest for 3 seconds my arms was shaking and sweat dripped off my body but I didn't care unlike in the other rooms the music stone in here was playing some metal as fuck Christmas music and right now it was a guitar solo and I must say that man was shredding that guitar I side and slowly brought my arms out to the starting position 1010 I mumbled I took a few deep breaths before doing it again 1011, 1012, 1013 I mumbled each time I did a repetition it was on 1015 when the door was thrown open as Zarock came stomping in he came marking straight up to me gralling what the fuck you doing brother I side doing another repetition mumbling 1016 I am working out I would have thought that would have been obvious but maybe I overestimated your common sense Zarock snarl yelling you know that isn't what I bloody mean you have been up here sense fucking midnight hell you didn't even drink any of the eggnog Areal and Mercury made it isn't like you to not at least have one drink but I simply did another repetitions not responding 1017, 1018, 1019 I just continued to do my reps till on repetition 1022 Zarock frown got deeper and before I could do my next repetition he waved his hand the wires disconnected from the slabs as he gralled no that's enough brother I simply stretched my arms nodding your right brother that's enough shoulders time for legs and I through the hands down and walked over to what looked like a huge press I spat on my hands before raising my hands up as a huge stone slab pressed down against me but I simply bint my knees slightly and squatted down which was easy enough but this was the hard part I pushed my legs to stand back up but the press pushed down but very slowly the press started to move back up you could hear the creaking of steel and hydraulics as I did this it was clear that the press didn't like my actions but I simply pushed my self up my legs shaking but soon my legs was fully extended I mumbled one and want down for another 2 another 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 but it was on ten when Zarock stormed over and pulled a lever on the press immediately the slab that was pressing down onto me lifted up I glared at Zarock saying what was that for brother can't you see I am trying to get warmed up before I fight that jolly bastard Zarock glared at me angrily no enough can't you at least take one motherfucking day to enjoy the time with us all Brock and Bricks people are dead Queens and Jarry people are hunting them and Ben and Bella are snowed in and Jakes family is fucking slaves and yet they all try even little Mercury spends more time with us then you your always doing something be it training or forcing y can't you take a fucking brake with us I looked away clenching my teeth Zarock side and in a much calmer voice he said brother I love you and your probably one of the smartest people I know but gods you can be so stupid and he walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder saying you have brought us all together and just as you wished we see each other as family everyone in are squad have no one but those in our ranks and you can't speed one day to spend time with us it hurts we all look up to you and yet you rarely speak with us except for me and your girls and little mercury no one else sees you unless its for a mission so can't you take one day off where you don't think of anything but having a good time when was the last time you did that but at this point I had enough listening to him I brushed his hand off my shoulder gralling no brother I can not rest I can not sleep cuz and I looked at him with my glowing draconic eyes Zarock took a step back out of fear seeing the look but at this point I have hit my limit I pocked him in the chest as I stepped forward I can't ever sleep I can never rest cuz when I do is when our enemies will strike you dont understand brother none of you do I am not only the motherfucking head smith and the second in command of the lion barbarian but I am also the captain of Grave I not only got to train are troops but I must make all of thee gear and ammo on top of all that makes time to be a loving husband and father wall also cultivating and growing my power tell me do you think I can fit all of this into one mtherfucking day huh no I can't and I pocked him in the chest against as I stepped forward you say I haven't gotten to know my troops and you would be dead wrong I know them all I know each of there stories we have 203 members in grave and I know them all not only that I have trained them all I do things that no one even fucking realises I have slotted and burned hundreds of people in the shadows and not a one of you knows about it except for the sect master I have protected you all in the shadows and in the light no brother I can't take one fucking day to take a brake and I took another step forward cuz the moment I do is when I have to start barring more friends not only that I have to see what that death does to there families we do not fear our deaths brother but it doesn't mean others don't fear for are safety so I  watching ever vigilant for dangers and I train growing my powers so I can protect my own you included so and I side calming my self down when I opened my eyes they wasn't glowing no they were tired but holding strong and in a calm voice I spoke so I will not stop if you all hate me for it so be it at least yall will have your lives but and I looked down to my spider seeing the time I side turning around my body bursting with fire which burned away my sweat as I walked to the door picking up the rob that was handing there the moment I touched it the rob turned into a black slime liquid as it moved onto my body forming my clothes and boots I looked back to Zarock down dark sad look I side Brother you are my second in command if I ant there you represent me not only that you represent grave I have full faith in you and I trust you with my life the only reason I have been able to protect you all is cuz you was there when I wasn't never forget that and marry meedmiss and like that I disappeared but leaning against the door was a suit of armor made out of a familiar dark steal he walked up to the armer and side damn you, bastard y are you so hard on your self we can share your burdens brother hoe much will you be able to take before its to much Zarock side and reached out to the armor the moment his hand touched it the armor turned into a familiar black slime liquid and took the shape of his robs Zarock looked at his new armor smiling damn brother you out did your self with this but time to tell everyone the bad news he side meanwhile I appeared in the middle of a forest the snow and wind was really comming down hard and whipping against my face normally most people couldn't even see 10 feet in front of them but I could see just fine that's y I noticed leaning against a particular old looking tree was a old man who had a huge white beard and a red hate and clothes and a big belly but his arms was fucking huge the coat he had on could barely contain them if he just flexed slightly then poof sleeves will be gone around his waist was a huge leather belt that had a silver and gold buckle and tied on his right hip was a stocking that was filled with cole he had his arms crossed and in his mouth was a long pipe the moment I appeared he didn't look up but I heard him say your late this year child is something the matter you have never been late I side walking closer to him shrugging sorry about that sir saint nick my brother wanted me to take a break but and Santa took the pipe out from his mouth as he blow out a smoke that changed colors from green to red to blue you know child he maybe right how much more of this will you be able to do alone do you think I make all the toys for the good children alone heavens no I had help you child are fighting a war but a war isn't so different to crafting toys its a forever battle to stay on top you got to stay strong not just for your self but for the sake of everyone under you but this doesn't mean you can't share your load with others Ho, ho, ho his laugh would make anyone heart beat in joy remember when they was a child opening the presents on Christmas day it was magnificent but like all things it came to a end and he put the pipe back in his mouth as he pointed at me saying you Hunter Ace Colt have been fighting alone to protect everyone your scared to lose someone but my dear boy you can't save everyone this you know all you can do is prepare them to the best of your abilities and my dear boy you put your squad through hell who would have thought using healing magic in such a barbaric way I grinned shrugging your welcome Santa smiled his bright blue eyes sparking Ho Ho Ho I guess I should thank you it had been a while sense I have gotten a good work out but back on topic you put them through hell and they came out on top out of anyone in this hole kingdom you shouldn't worry about them so much they are your squad after all you should have faith in them have faith in your training I side looking up to the white clouds I enjoyed the moment for a moment before I side looking down at him saying it would seem I need to apologize to may brother he was right I have been stupid sense I came to brusha I have been guarding it alone but I think the sect will be fine without me Santa chuckled that a boy life is all about learning and you my dear boy your one of the good ones you got a good heart but maybe try and be less brutal and blood thirsty I grinned at him as I unsheathed Tempest and Sekhmet appearing in my other hand the shaft of Sekhmet was as black as midnight and had a bunch of new glowing blood red runes my face got more beastly as a set of draconic wings unfurled from my back and scales appeared on my body I chuckled at Santa gralling never and I dragged my hand down as my wolf mask formed but unlike normal 8 black fox tails flicked behind me and two fox ears appeared and lastly a set of horns formed on my head as I grinned demonically at the old saint nick who simply chuckled saying yea I figured that was going to be your answer and he pushed off the tree as he grabbed that stocking at his belt what we thinking all out at the beginning he asked I grinned nodding yep and two black arms appeared and appearing in those hands was Lorek and Azrael as my giants ora exploded out from me and my weapons started to glow with power Santa grinned I like it and he reached into that stocking and pulled out two cole axes and soon explosions and flashes of light started coming from the forest but unlike what everyone thought the noise and lights didn't last long unlike the pasts years I was breathing hard as I looked at the old saint him self blood was coming from a few cuts on are bodies but we was grinning at each other he slowl straightened his body as he through away two broken cole weapons saying damn child not many people can brake my weapons and yet your crafts can I am impressed so here allow me to show you one of the weapons I used back in the yee old days and he reached into that stocking and pulled out a huge candy cane that had a huge ice hammerhead on it that hammerhead started to glow like there was a blue fire in the ice he rested it on his shoulder and grinned at me saying you ready kid I rested Tempest and Sekhmet on my shoulder both weapons shook happily as the burst with energy Sekhmet with a blood red fire and tempest with a bright green and gold lightning lorek glowed as forest started coming off it and Azrael shinned darkly i am ready you old jolly bastard I grinned he nodded good then here I come we stated at each other for a few seconds till we disappeared but we only took one step when someone screamed stop and appearing between us was a man who looked no older then 18 to 20 he had show white hair and skin and blue and white robs in his hands was a staff made from ice and his eyes was blue Santa and I stopped our weapons about to hit him Jake Santa said the hell and we both lowered are weapons Jack smiled saying hi old man and Hound you told me to interrupted you if something important happened so I am here remember Santa and I looked to each other confused but then we remember we did tell him to do that 20 or so years ago so he must have been watching us sense then spooky I thought I didn't even relies he was watching Santa looked to him saying so whats the news but jacks smile faded and he looked to me saying It's about you Hound the holy kingdom is here and they are looking to arrest you for the death of sect master Azreal but they ant alone there is elves with then they say you hold 2 fugitives of there kingdom I side pulling out a bottle of a blue liquid I downed it when I did I felt all my mana and soul energy come back my body was fully healed in seconds at the same time I turned on my spider with my mind when I did notifications  started bombarding it and right at that moment Fjord was calling I answered it as I held up my hand and appearing in front of me was a screen that showed Fjords furious face as he yelled where the bloody hell have you been dont tell me you have been the one fighting in the woods I nodded yes I have but I already know the situation and be right over he side rubbing his head saying ok hound but what do you think we should do I grinned well if its a fight they want its a fight they will get Grave form up and I pushed a button on this spider that sent a message to everyone in grave this is the brusha kingdom this is are place if they wish to fuck around I gralled they will find out Fjord smiled we will be waiting for you son and like that he hung up I looked up to Santa and Jack frost saying sorry boys but I got to go they both nodded Jack simply saying good luck bud and Santa simply smiled marry meedmiss laddy and have fun I nodded and like that, I disappeared in a flash Jack looked to Santa grinning face saying you did something didn't you Santa shrugged naa but I am thinking about doing something and he grabbed his stocking Jack shook his head saying that isn't a good idea the others won't like it nor agree to it but Santa just laughed Ho Ho Ho who cares if the others dont like it then they can have the taste of some cole to Jack chuckled or they will steal your power but Santa grinned they can try but no one can out doing me cuz for I am the old saint nick I am Santa no one can stop meedmas Ho Ho Ho and like that crouched down and jumped up completely clearing the trees when he did a red slay pulled by many beautiful white and gray reindeer that seemed to glow in the snow swooped down and picked him up I appeared on the wall of brusha next to Fjord I smiled seeing the huge army that came knocking at are door one side wore the colors of the radiant waves and the royal families which was silver and gold wall the others wore the colors of the elven kingdom which was green at the head of these armies was two flag careers on mounts next to them was the leader of both armies I recognized one to be Micheal but the other I didn't recognize a elven woman who had white skin and black hair her eyes was green and very cold she had on a green plate armor that almost looked like it was made from huge leaves but this was simply elven leave steal it was a leave but it was as hard and durable as any metal on her hip was a saber made from the same metal but what cot my eye was the spear in her hand it had a dark red shaft and when you move up to the blade you would see red gnarled thorns wrapped around the bright orange blade this spear was a hi holy spirit weapon maybe even a demi god weapon and there definitely was a fire elemental sealed in that weapon how did I know that it was simple the simple fact that the woman holding it was completely dry all the snow melted before it could touch her and the second thing was I could see the elemental and boy howdy it was pissed I don't blame it locked in a weapon ever the bitch of who ever holds the spear besides we was in a snow storm I could see the snow spirits taunting it but on this womans chest was her house crest which was a pine cone behind it was a huge pin tree I recognized that house that was queens house her mothers armor had the same mark on it I noticed the flag carries was flying two colors there armies colors and a white flag it would seem they want to talk Fjord mumbled I nodded it would seem so best we put are best foot forward and I grinned over to him winking Queen and Jarry your with me let us go great our guests properly they grinned st me saying yes sir I looked to Zarock smiling you was right brother I have been stupid so expect a lot more work for here on he grinned at me saying ride on welcome back brother I looked to the two asking yall ready they smiled as they mounted up there mounts was two phoenixes one fire and one wind they nodded to me saying ready when you are sir I grinned nodding I looked to Lotus and Vermillion and blow them a kiss saying I will be right back deer and I looked to Mercury you better save some of that good eggnog for me or I am sure Quintis hasn't put away the wooden spoon Mercury quickly nodded yes sir I nodded good I turned around and took a running jump off the edge as I did Zarock yelled brother you forgot this and he throw down a poll I smiled catching it before I gralled come Quin let us strike fear in there hearts and just before I hit the ground boom a huge white cloud of snow was throne up completely covering the main gate I heard some people from the army gasp seeing how big the cloud was but the next moment people yelped out of fear seeing the huge white and black snake slithering towards them that would put any vehicle to shame and there sitting on its head was a man with a huge crazy grin on his face and resting against his shoulder was a flag poll and there whipping in the wind was 3 flags the first was a red and gold roaring lion the second a black foggy with a green snarling or was it grinning who could tell wolf head holding a blade in its mouth and the last flag simply was a white flag and flying on either side of this snake was two phoenixes and there riders had huge smiles on there faces aswell.
