Mystic Calling：Stone of Glory-Chapter 839: You Shouldn’t Be Able to Kill Me

Ethan frowned, a ripple of unease tightening in his chest.

He'd seen this white bear before—on the battlefield earlier—but back then, it hadn't been this powerful. What really threw him off was the lack of any visible injuries. It was like the fight with Namyanna had never happened.

In fact, the bear looked even stronger now—its body bulked up, its aura denser, colder, more oppressive.

Ethan quickly pulled up his system scan, eyes narrowing as he analyzed the bear's data panel.

There it was—some kind of strange residual energy clinging to its body. A regeneration mechanism? A power-boosting effect?

He didn't get the chance to dig deeper.

The bear's energy suddenly erupted, shaking the entire battlefield.

BOOM!

A massive spectral bear surged into view behind it, towering like a mountain, casting a shadow that swallowed the sky.

With a roar, it raised one of its massive paws and brought it crashing down—aimed straight at Ethan, the air around it freezing solid.

Ethan didn't hesitate.

He unleashed everything he had left, his body flaring with energy as a giant phantom form burst out of him, charging head-on toward the bear.

THOOM!

The impact sent shockwaves tearing through the air, space itself rippling like water under the force.

But Ethan wasn't at full strength. Healing Queen Elowen had drained him, and his body hadn't recovered yet.

His phantom form began to flicker midair, its edges unraveling, the energy destabilizing.

Then—

Namyanna shot upward, her figure slicing through the sky. She raised her staff and swung it with force.

A blast of pure frost magic exploded outward, slamming into the bear's attack and knocking it off course.

Queen Elowen's eyes widened in surprise. "That girl of yours… her base power isn't that high, but what she's showing out there? It's several times stronger than it should be. Especially that staff—it's not ordinary. Looks like a fusion of multiple artifacts."

Ethan blinked, caught off guard.

He knew where Namyanna's power came from. He knew how her staff had evolved. But even so, it had never fully shed its original trident form. There were flaws in the fusion process, and he hadn't been able to find a better artifact to upgrade it.

Ice-element gear was rare in this world. Artifacts tied to tridents? Even rarer.

As he mulled it over, Queen Elowen suddenly reached into her robes and pulled out a small golden scepter.

She gave it a gentle wave.

The moment it moved, a surge of overwhelming cold burst forth, blanketing the area in a wave of frost so intense it made the air crackle.

Ethan's eyes widened.

He hadn't expected that.

The golden scepter in Elowen's hand glowed brilliantly, then shot toward Namyanna's staff like a comet.

The two artifacts collided midair.

BOOM!

Golden light fused with icy blue, forming a swirling vortex of power that exploded outward, shaking the heavens. The cold that followed was suffocating, biting deep into the bones.

The white bear sensed the danger instantly.

It staggered back, retreating several steps—but it was too late.

Namyanna's staff, now glowing with merged power, appeared in front of the bear without a sound and drove straight into its shoulder.

"RAAAGH!"

The bear let out a roar of shock and pain, its eyes wide with disbelief.

"How…?!"

It stared at the staff embedded in its flesh, trembling.

That tiny weapon had pierced its defenses like paper. And the energy radiating from it—it wasn't just cold. It was divine. It struck not just the body, but the soul.

"This is impossible!" the bear howled, voice cracking with rage and fear. "You're weaker than me! You shouldn't be able to kill me!"

Its body convulsed, power surging wildly as it tried to launch a counterattack.

Just then, the power within Namyanna's staff fully detonated—an overwhelming surge that drained nearly all of the white bear's energy in an instant.

As the staff absorbed that force, Namyanna's own power skyrocketed. The white bear's massive body began to falter, its limbs trembling under its own weight. With a thunderous crash, it collapsed to the ground.

Like the previous one, this white bear carried a regal aura—an alpha among beasts. But as Namyanna's energy invaded its core, that aura twisted, reshaped, and merged with the essence of the Queen of Everfrost.

Now, Namyanna's power had reached a level that defied belief.

She hovered in midair, the frost and snow around her swirling like they answered only to her. It felt as if the entire world's ice had bent to her will.

Ethan exhaled slowly, finally letting himself breathe. He stepped up beside Queen Elowen, curiosity flickering in his voice. "Your Majesty, that scepter you tossed earlier… what was it? It upgraded Namyanna's staff in seconds."

Elowen didn't answer right away. Instead, she pulled out a small, ice-blue orb and flicked it gently toward Namyanna's back.

The moment it touched her, the orb dissolved into a wave of pure frost energy, fusing seamlessly into her body. A new surge of power exploded from Namyanna, her strength multiplying several times over in an instant.

The beasts surrounding the city walls recoiled in terror.

They hadn't expected Namyanna to power up again—let alone to this degree. Their entire battle plan unraveled in seconds.

The white bears were supposed to be their strongest. Their leaders. And now, two of them had fallen to the same girl.

The rest of the beasts didn't dare face her head-on.

Just as the battlefield fell into a tense silence, a snow leopard stepped forward.

It was massive, its eyes gleaming with killing intent. Its voice was cold, sharp as a blade. "She's just a little girl. What's there to fear? I'll kill her myself—watch and learn."

Before the words even finished echoing, the snow leopard launched into the air. Two pairs of wings—sleek and feathered like an angel's—unfolded from its back.

With a single beat of those wings, a wave of icy wind surged outward, blanketing the battlefield in bone-chilling frost.

In its mouth, the snow leopard held a translucent energy orb, glowing with terrifying power.

The aura from its wings alone was enough to shake the entire battlefield. The pressure it released was suffocating.

But Namyanna didn't flinch.

Her expression was calm—colder than the air around her.

She locked eyes with the snow leopard, and the frost energy within her began to churn. The air itself seemed to freeze solid.

Then, behind her, a massive Frost Phoenix slowly took shape.

Its wings spread wide, stirring up a violent snowstorm with every beat. The temperature plummeted. Ice coated the sky. Even time felt like it had slowed.

The snow leopard opened its jaws and fired a blinding beam of energy straight at Namyanna.

The beam tore through the air, so fast it left cracks in the atmosphere.

Namyanna didn't back down.

The Frost Phoenix let out a piercing cry and dove straight into the beam.

BOOM!

The explosion was deafening. The collision of forces ripped the sky apart. Space itself fractured, spiderweb cracks spreading through the air. The ground split open beneath them, tremors shaking the battlefield.

Ethan's heart nearly stopped. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

He grabbed Queen Elowen and pulled her back, just in time to avoid the expanding shockwave.

What he was seeing… it was beyond anything he'd expected.

Namyanna's power had evolved into something else entirely—something far beyond what he thought she was capable of.

He stared, stunned. This was the same girl who'd fought beside him, who'd once needed his protection.

"Your Majesty," he said, still watching the sky, "is there anything around here—special minerals, energy sources, anything like that?"

His voice was calm, but his eyes were sharp.

He trusted Namyanna. But he couldn't ignore the pattern. These monsters—they kept drawing on strange, powerful energy. The white bears. The snow leopard. All of them had something extra.

Queen Elowen sighed, her expression darkening. "It's the Everfrost Ore. Unique to our world. It used to be a shared resource—something all of us could draw from."

She paused, her voice tightening.

"But when the enemy came, they seized it. Hoarded it. Used it to create monsters like the ones you've seen. That's why they dare to challenge us now."
