Chapter 425 - The Hidden Treasure (Part-5) (1/2)

Ryuu shielded his eyes from the icy cold winds with his hands they had managed to only to cover halfway to their base when a terrifying blizzard descended upon them with great fury, and within seconds the temperature dropped to an unbearable level as the visibility itself lowered to the point that Ryuu could not even see his hands.

It had hit them so suddenly that they could not even prepare themselves and as such, they ended up getting separated, Ryuu felt someone grabbed his hand and from the nature of the KI, he knew who was near him, as such he quickly held the person firm, as they tried to brave the storm together hand in hand.

”We cannot keep up like this we need shelter.”

”I know, but it is difficult trying to find one in this blizzard when I cannot even see my hands.”

A roar of thunder was heard nearby as Ryuu looked towards Frost Flames as she shouted back at her, ”We dig down.”

”Can we not go up?”

”No we do not know the extent of the storm and not to mention this place might have a ceiling and coming in contact with one can be deadly as such I propose we dig down.”

Frost Flames bit her lips as she shouted back, ”You are right.”

The duo landed on the frozen ground while braving the storm, then they used their command over the powers to drill a hole on the ground, it was slowly but soon they were well beneath the surface, having dug themselves sufficiently deep inside the duo hastily covered the exit, then they slowly began to work and soon a small round room took shape around them.

Ryuu let out a huff of relief as he eyed the room before he broke into laughter making Frost Flames look at him curiously as she spoke, ”Is something wrong Ryuu?”

Ryuu wheezed between his laughter as he spoke, ”Just try and see your face using a mirror.”

Frost Flames was taken aback before her mirror appeared in hand, she took a look at it as her eyes wide, gone was her beautiful face for it was replaced by one covered with snowflakes to the point that she now sported a pair of thick white eyebrows and her veil that covered her face looked like a snow-white beard.

Ryuu's cackling came to her ears as she looked at him as she broke into a smile of her own as just like her Ryuu' face had taken a very similar form and upon realizing the cause of her laughter he quickly wiped his face to remove the snow off his face.

As the duo finally managed to control their laughter and remove the snow, they gathered near each other as Frost Flames spoke with a worried look on her voice, ”Ryuu are the others alright?”

Ryuu pursed his lips as he spoke, ”They are safe and from the looks of it they are together, unfortunately, it seems both of us are separated from them.”

”So spending some time with me is unfortunate.”

Ryuu blushed as he hurriedly rectified his words, ”No of course not, I was simply stating we are separated from our friends.”

Frost Flames simply smiled as a chair made up of ice formed near her which she promptly occupied before she spoke with another appearing directly in front of her.

”What are you waiting for please sit.”

Ryuu promptly occupied the chair, not before he dropped a talisman, as an array spread across the room, the talisman which he had shared previously with others, and it soon heated the room raising the temperature to a more tolerable level making it more comfortable.

They sat silently for a moment the crackling sound of logs burning was the only sound created by the array since it had been, they did not know what to say to each other.
