The next floor was surprisingly very cold, even the walls were freezing to the touch

'Whats going on?'

We had just arrived fro in the Antarctic The ground was frozen over,and my poor insects were reluctant to even step onto the new floor Although it wasn't too bad near the stairs, the further out you went, the colder it would be

[You have learned Cold resistance Lv1]

'You guys wait for me here'

The cold was an insect’s nemesis, and I didn't want to torture my poor minions too much

Also, I wanted to scout ahead so as not to get caught in an impossible situation

'Lord, we also…'

Just stay here and be prepared for whatever ene, so if I need to uys will be my fall back position

'…'

They sent no telepathic responses, as they remained quiet, ashamed of their inability to contribute I walked into the hall, leaving the insects far behind

After walking for a short time, I came across a peculiar door

'This definitely looks like a door a bossbehind'

At the end of the hall stood a ate Thick, black iron doors, inlaid with gorgeous silver and golden sculptures, depictinga wide variety of creatures For a ates of Heaven

'I can't seem to use my Status check from outside the door…'

I was careful by nature, so I decided to make an elaborate trap in order to be prepared for any scenario

'If I'o all out'

The temperature in the hall remained constantly well below zero It was a situation where I could finally make use of that useless skill

”Water Sphere! Water Sphere! …”

[Water Sphere level 1 ➢ 2]

[Water Sphere level 5 ➢ 6]

Spraying water on the ground I was able to h it was sole point to create some ice sculptures These could be used to confuse the eneht spot I took my time to create as many of these sculptures as possible in the hall

'This should help'

I was forcing one over the top and made far too iant ice

I had spent the better part of a full day creating this giant frozen maze As I became more proficient in the use of Ice, I was even able to use it to create reflections which could confuse the enemy

'Hmm… somehow I feel like I'm ready'

'Ohh! This is just the kind of spell I needed!'

Every tie monster, I wished I would have this skill

'Magic Research is such a useful skill Hmm… what should I pick next?'

[Selected Magic Chanting]

'Wow, Is this going to work?!'

The increase in casting speed had been a crucial part in allasforward to what new spell I'd receive by focusing the research on

'So, is it about time to open this door?'

My bony hands were shaking

'Behind this door ht be an incredibly powerful ret it in the future'

Most of the eneht to date had been out of desperation and not by choice I was still trying to suht be the first lifethreatening situation I'd deliberately putmy previous battle with the spider boss, Bianca, because throughout the fight I was always in coo past this door, it would be without knowing anything about what kind of enemy I'd face, or whatby the grandiose gate, the guardian behind was bound to be powerful

'What is the purpose of these Catacombs…?'

These toe if you stopped to think about it, frooyles, Chess pieces, and finally this frozen hall What could be the reason of its existence?

'Well, opening these doors ht be the only way to find out!'

Keeeeeeiic

The large heavy doors which had been stationary for a long tientle push

The area beyond the door looked like an extravagant cathedral In the ant throne upon which sat afancy wizard robes

”Finally, my old enemy has arrived!”

Chomp Chomp

Surprisingly, it was a Lich Hundreds of skeletons which had been sitting on the benches, like pious believers kneeling during Sunday mass, they rose from their slumber

I was able to access the Boss' Status page, because we shared a siainst
