The cold air that is blowing to our skin indicates that sowhere out there, an exit exists, allowing the cold air to freely flow around the place. There is no way it ca above as that would make the wind blows downward which is not possible especially if it was in a mountainous area like this place where we are surrounded by different forms of rocks.
I let everyone have a good sleep at the mont and to make sure that they aren't in a cold place while exploring, I decided to ask the Dark Desert Wolf Pack for help in monitoring sensing danger. With their sharp senses, even if I try to catch a quick nap, they will be good enough in detecting all of the dangers that might appear. Since they rarely have their own ti to shine on the battlefield, I could definitely have their help really useful right now.
As for the three girls, I let them return to the Summons Area to recover their morale and boost up their mood. With the cold air and the gloomy atmosphere of this place, their ntal stability slowly degrades, causing them to be susceptible to many things. As for , this is actually in my favor. I spent many tis before in dark and gloomy places grinding for levels in the past.
You can say that my mind has been trained too hard that it started to develop immunity to places that normally degrades one's ntal stability. It's not sothing to be proud of but it is sothing that helps a lot of tis. Despite my current body is not trained in this stuff, how my ntality is carried over to this body, that alone helps a lot, especially in situations like this. Even if it is a ga, that doesn't an your mind doesn't function normally. It is a normal body response so if you feel nothing in similar situations, you are either too used to feeling anything or if it was your first ti, you are one dense motherf*cker.
I can feel the occasional tremors around and I am always looking above to see if there is anything falling towards my position. Being buried alive or being knocked down by sothing falling is sothing I don't want to happen. As for where the tremors are originating from, I have no way of knowing where they ca from.
After an hour of rest, I recalled the Dark Desert Wolf Pack and resummon Lina, Tina, and Lucia. They have rested quite well and they are now in tip-top shape so off we go to exploration.
...
"Master, it is getting really cold now. Even my Battle Maid Dress is not enough to combat the cold," Lina releases her breath into her palms and a cloud of white smoke cos out from her breath, which signifies the cold weather. I also felt the cold seep through your clothes and armor and it definitely does not helps you in terms of moving around.
"Let's keep moving, that way, our body will be able to keep warm despite this cold temperature. Lucia, does your fire can't remove this cold feeling we are currently feeling right now?" I turned to look at Lucia who is also shivering.
"No Master. For so unknown reason, my flas are not doing well and they are colder compared to how hot they should have been when we are fighting against enemies."
I decided to see it for myself and summoned a single fire in my palm to check how cold it is and I was surprised that the flas in my hands are not as hot as they should have been. It was like I am holding a piece of ice in my hands. I can still feel so sort of warmth for a split second before it gets cold as soon as I try to feel the coldness.
We continue to follow the small path that is the only available path for us to pass through. Without any enemies to battle against, our movent is just limited to walking, It would have helped if we have any sort of enemy to beat the sh*t out of them but we are stuck to none.
"Guys, you should go back to the Summons Area for now. As much as I want you three to help , without any enemies to fight back, we are just going to make things harder for ourselves. I will just go and resummon you guys again once I engage in a fight. That way, we have more fighting forces who are not feeling cold at the mont."
,m The three didn't disobey my orders and returned. Maybe because it is too cold that they didn't hesitate at all. With them already back in the summons area, I am now alone dealing with the current temperature.
Now that I think about it, perhaps it was called by the system the Frozen Hell Underground is due to how it is very hellish in here that at any second, your whole body would freeze if you wear sothing light. Not only that but the anxiety you feel when you look around is also unnerving. Without any enemies but with the sa feeling of sothing or soone staring, it makes the whole situation mind taxing.
And yes, the one staring at and the others seems to be still around as I can still feel the presence of that entity. If I was not experienced with this kind of thing, I might have gone insane already or I would just straight up log back out and never co back. The realism of this ga transcends reality and virtual.
I continue to move forward and soon arrived at a big open area underground. It was weird as it was not sothing I have seen before. It was like I ca out from a deep cave or sothing. However, when you look up at the sky, instead of the clouds, you will see the sa roof of rock. It also ans this is no longer part of the cliffs but it is already underneath a mountain or any rock formation.
But oddly enough, the whole open area looks like it ca from the surface, and it is really weird as it is not sothing I usually see underground. It was like it is in another space entirely.
The coldness that I also felt earlier lessened a bit and although it is still cold, it is not to the point where just standing still would freeze your whole body in a few seconds. With the wide area to explore, I started to walk around the place and check whatever is in store of this place for .
Despite being similar to open space and open land, I didn't see any kind of plant life or any kind of form that signifies life around the place. In fact, even boulders are nonexistent. The only thing I am seeing right now before is the vast white snow on the ground, covering the whole place like a wide carpet. Aside from that, nothing else. In this white world, it was like the whole place was bleached white and deleted whatever things that may have existed here at so point.
"Did I wander around a boundary of the ga that shouldn't have been explored just yet?"
I wondered about that myself but I also know that it shouldn't be the case. Despite having no barriers to stop you from exploring, you would imdiately know you are going beyond the boundary of the place if the only thing you see is a blurred view in the further area. You can try to push on to that place but you will just not be seeing anything beyond that area except for the blurred view.
In my current situation, it shouldn't be the boundary as I can still see things clearly beyond what I am walking and I can still see the snow covering the whole ground. If it was already a boundary, that snow I am seeing would also be blurry and you cannot even identify whether that was snow or sothing else.
I continue exploring and walking straight to the white expanse of snow to see whether I see anything worth investigating, Then, I turned back behind . Nothing.
My plan didn't work. Since this place is a whole expanse of white snow and nothing else, I thought it would be a good place for to check whoever is staring at us since earlier. Without anywhere or anything they can use to hide without being detected, they are easily spotted.
The feeling of soone staring at you still remains even though I am already in an open area so what the heck is happening?
"WHO ARE YOU?!"
I was startled when soone started talking behind and I didn't even feel its presence. I turned around and soone who looks like a man who has not seen civilization appeared before holding a very huge greatsword that looks similar to the sword Guts uses in Berserk,
"ANSWER , WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"
