Chapter 591: First Challenge in the Tundra

Link stood on the snowy peak and asked the sword spirit, “Is this direction right?”

An icy wind blew around him while the boundless icy plain was before him. The air was abnormally clean. Looking down from the peak with his excellent vision, Link could see hundreds of miles.

All of this land was the same tundra. What was different was that in the distance, it became darker; it was nighttime at the end. There was a clear difference between night and day in different parts of the north and south. This was a sight unique to the extreme north.

The general direction is right, but too much time has passed. I don’t know if the land has changed.

The sword spirit’s voice was full of uncertainty. The Storm Lord was from the ancient times and millenniums had passed. This was enough time for seas to turn into land.

Link had no choice but to continue searching in the general direction. Whether or not he could find the piece of the so-called Book of Creation depended on his luck.

I’ll search for three months at most. If there aren’t any clues after three months, I’ll give up. Link set a deadline for himself. He still had many things to do and couldn’t waste too much time on this.

Pulling his clothes tighter, Link said to the other three, “Alright, let’s continue.”

The three nodded. Nana took the lead and jumped down from the mountaintop. Then she ran down the slope. She looked as light as a floating leaf with perfect control of her strength.

She couldn’t do this before. In the past, Nana had perfect battle experience, but her fighting style depended on extreme speed and strength. If anyone could deal with those two, she would be in trouble.

Now, she was in a whole new state. Her techniques mixed with her perfect experience, and she had indescribable agility. This was the subtle effect of the Water of Miracles.

Eliard and Milose both cast flight spells to descend from the mountaintop. Though they were flying, they had to use all their might to catch up with Nana.

Link followed slowly behind them to erase their marks. They could be a bit careless in the Black Forest, but this was the extreme north. They were very close to the piece. If they didn’t hide themselves, it would be annoying if people came to cause trouble.

The four traveled more than 150 miles like this. The sky darkened gradually. After around 50 more miles, night fell completely.

Thankfully, the sky was still covered in stars. There was also ice and snow everywhere, so their vision wasn’t affected.

This place was not inhabitable and very few people stepped into this world of ice during the millenniums. Even the courageous adventurers wouldn’t come here. In many legends, this was even known as the end of the world.

No one knew what they would run into. For safety reasons, Link and the others slowed down. To avoid surprising some unknown existences, they didn’t even use spells and just walked on foot.

Though they were Magicians, all three had strong bodies. Nana went without saying. It was a bit cold, but they could handle it.

After a while, the cold wind stopped.

Crunch, crunch. Other than the sound of stepping in snow, the world was silent.

“It’s as quiet as a cemetery here.” Eliard hugged himself, feeling a bit anxious.

Milose looked side to side, hands gripping his wand tightly in preparation. “I just feel strange, like something’s watching us.”

Nana continued forward as before. She didn’t feel anything abnormal.

Link felt something strange too. This place was too quiet. His Magician instincts told him that if he continued walking, something would happen. However, this feeling was fuzzy. Like a spider web in the breeze, it was hard to grasp. All Link could do was compose himself and walk on in full alert.

As he walked, Link’s heart suddenly jumped. The surroundings had suddenly fallen silent. He couldn’t even hear footsteps anymore. Turning around hurriedly, he saw that Eliard, Milose, and Nana had all disappeared from the boundless tundra. Other than the white snow, there was nothing else around him.

Strange. How did they disappear? Link furrowed his brows. He hadn’t felt the surroundings change during this process. There were no Mana ripples, spatial ripples, or anything else. The three just vanished.

Link wouldn’t believe it. He walked to where their footprints had disappeared to check. He cast many detection spells but to no avail.

This was a bit strange.
