Lord Summoner's Freedom Philosophy: Grimoire of Love

As the ice golem captured the left hand of the frost giant, the rock golem continued its charge, slamming its massive stone body into the right side of the giant, striking the previously injured area. The force of the impact was enough to cause the frost giant to lose its grip on its weapon, and its right hand was severed from its arm.

The frost giant let out a roar of pain and anger, lashing out with its remaining hand. The ice golem quickly moved to dodge the attack, using its magic to encase the giant's hand in a block of ice, immobilizing it. Meanwhile, the rock golem continued to press its advantage, raining down blows upon the giant with its massive stone fists.

The second frost giant, seeing the danger its comrade was in, charged forward to help. The ice golem was quick to react, using its magic to create a wall of ice to block the giant's path. The giant slammed into the wall with a loud crash, but was unable to break through.

The rock golem, meanwhile, continued its assault on the first giant, relentlessly pounding away at its frozen hand and chest. The giant's armor began to crack under the force of the blows, and it was soon clear that it was only a matter of time before the golem would emerge victorious.

As the first frost giant fell to the ground, defeated, the second giant finally managed to break through the wall of ice. Enraged, it charged forward, swinging its massive weapon in a wide arc. The rock golem, sensing the danger, darted to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

The ice golem, meanwhile, used its magic to create another wall of ice, this time trapping the giant's weapon between two massive blocks of ice. The frost giant roared in frustration as it struggled to free its weapon, but it was no use.

The rock golem seized the opportunity, rushing forward and striking the giant with all its might. The giant staggered under the force of the blow, but did not fall. The golem continued its attack, striking the giant again and again, until finally, it fell to the ground, defeated.

With both frost giants defeated, the ice golem used its magic to repair the damage to the rock golem and closed the cracks with its magic before making a thumbs up as if saying a great job. The rock golem then shakes its head, it feels like he's still not satisfied with his results.

"See? You've done well," The man's gentle words resounded, and I that gotten too absorbed in the scene of the battle that looks like it came straight out of a storybook, finally regained my composure and realize the meaning of his words.

"It's... Because of me...?" I shifted my gaze to the side, but rather than looking at a smile, I saw the man's face turn into a serious one as he look at the former battle scene of the golems and the frost giants.

Following his gaze, I finally understood the reason for his expression. Fear and the feeling of hopelessness started to well up inside me once more because of the sight.

"They got a pack, huh..." The man uttered bitterly.

What appeared in the distance are more frost giants. But they are not just some frost giants there are more than 30 of them. It's like it's a big family instead.

With those numbers, not even the golems and this man could defeat them. We even still have the army of undead behind us.

I took a peek at the back, and saw that the amount of undead gathering in front of the winter wolves are getting even more many. But despite so, the winter wolves still stand proudly and menacingly, seemingly following the orders of their master.

They are not normal undead either, because of the dense ice mana in this northern region, some of the irregulars and the variants of the undead got a combination of dark and ice mana in them.

As if those are not enough of bad news, another sound came from our west.

*Hissss!*

The sound of hissing sounded, and when I shifted my gaze to the source of the sound, I can't help but clench my teeth in frustration.

"Frost serpent..."

Its body is elongated and serpentine, with a smooth, flowing appearance, and its scales are thick and reflective, giving it a gleaming appearance. The serpent's head is long and narrow, with piercing blue eyes and a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth. Its tongue is long and forked, flicking in and out of its mouth as it tests the air for prey. The frost serpent's wings are long and graceful, made up of delicate, translucent membranes of ice. These wings allow it to glide effortlessly through the air, and are a beautiful sight to behold as they shimmer in the light. The serpent's tail is long and whip-like, with a dangerous-looking stinger at the end.

*Hisssss!*

The sound of a snake hissing is like a sharp, eerie whisper that sends shivers down your spine. It starts off with a low rattle that gradually builds into a high-pitched, menacing hiss. The sound is like a warning, a threat, as if the snake is telling you to stay away. It's not just a noise, it's a message, a warning, a declaration of danger. The hiss is like a sharp, pointed knife slicing through the air, leaving you frozen with fear.

It's a sound that stays with you, a sound that you can't ignore, a sound that makes you feel like you're being watched, like something is creeping up on you. It's a sound that demands your attention, a sound that demands respect.

This is bad, with this number of enemies, all of us will end up dying!

At least, he should leave with his comrades as soon as possible and bring the children.

"Please... Just run-"

"Hm~ As expected of the deadly forest of the North, I guess?" The man uttered. There is no hint of fear within them, there is even an unusual hint of confidence and excitement inside them.

"Eh?"

"Very well, this much will be an enough treat for everyone!" Raising its glaive, a floating black grimoire suddenly appeared as the man opened his arms wide. As if following his grand movement, the mana around us started to gather and concentrate around him as if making a whirlpool.

"By the light of the full moon, I recite!"

A huge magic circle suddenly appeared below us as he suddenly shouted, it was huge enough to reach even the corpse of the two frost giants before us.

"The great callings to the creatures bounded with my soul!

By the blessing bestowed by the gods, by the strength of the summoning grimoire!

Heed my call and appear before me, my allies!

My enemies have come!

The time for the great feast has come!!"

If someone heard those words being shouted out loud while having their eyes closed, they would definitely think that it's a crazy or naive person having a hallucination of possessing a secretly unimaginable strength while praising the grand.

But if you heard them while looking at the scene before me, you would not be able to think of anything else other than getting stunned by it.

The huge magic circle shone, alarming the army of undead, the giant frost serpent, and the group of frost giants. Various colors of light passed through the beautiful lines and patterns, and a large amount of mana particles suddenly gushed out from the floating black grimoire beside the man.

"T-This is..."

Impossible.

Amazing.

Unbelievable.

All kinds of words similar to those words filled my mind as my eyes widened. My chest immediately got overwhelmed by the great feeling of excitement, and just like a child that is hearing the story of mythical battles, I'm staring at the sight with my mouth wide agape.

"What... Is this?" I asked myself as I couldn't believe what I am seeing.

Hundreds of undead skeletons in various shapes and forms, ranging from smaller monsters to bigger ones, were summoned from the black grimoire together with other magic beasts and monsters. They are all appearing here and now, right from where we are standing. I could feel the increasing amount of mana in the air, and the frost giants, the frost serpent, and the army of undead at the back must have also sensed this.

There is only a single word that could describe the scene before me.

"Amazing..."
