Chapter 63: Inside The Ice Tomb (2/2)

And she was right.

The doors split just a little, revealing a small gap that shone with bright blue light. This light swallowed Michu's whole party and teleported them straight to the Ice Tomb! The entrance then closed and left everyone else fruitless upon their arrival.

The Ice Tomb inside was embellished with many runes. Those shone each time Michu and his party came closer. The curious monke slid his finger through the rune and found the feeling soft and nice, so he giggled as if it was already his reward for coming here.

Above them, the icicles, long and sharp, threatened them with appearance alone. Those seemed like stuck good and proper by the creator, so no one felt danger yet.

However, the runes weren't the only thing changing as the party moved.

The deeper they went, the colder it became. It was expected, but the party couldn't waste their time on this Ice Tomb's corridor and just rushed past all obstacles!

The cold became like a mask later on as it glued to everyone's faces insistently! But for the first time in The Ice Tomb, Michu and his party found something. It was a chunk of ice floating on water.

The road ended and water replaced the rest!

[Step on the ice platform and withstand the coldness as it goes!]

The coldness was already a bother, but this sudden message prompt pushed them into a worse situation. Not willing to give up, everyone hopped onto the ice platform, then it moved forward.

”It's so cold... So cold!” Michu hugged himself roughly after a minute.

His friend, Yakuzan, came closer and hugged him too to offer some help. Both monkeys ended up clinging to each other which made Sandra jealous! She didn't waste a chance and extended her hands for him as well.

She was from behind, but the monke's warmth and her embarrassment warmed her sufficiently...

”Yumi, are you okay?” Michu asked as he looked at his friend.

While everyone squatted, Yumi stood still and even crossed her arms like a boss. She stood before Michu, so he was someone who got the least coldness as it blew from the front. Her voice soon flowed...

”If I weren't okay, I would be the first one to hug you,” She replied, then explained, ”If you believe in Cold Time, then you can slow down this coldness and its effects. Weird concept, but I believe in it.”

Venomous also had a strong will. She repeated within herself that this Impossible Quest would provide her with an item to bring her closer to her goal. To destroy her father and his guild, she would survive this quest!

Michu's smile also often flashed within her and she wanted to make his goal become reality too.

Thus, even if the cold became unbearable, Venomous would only fall if the game decided to put her down by taking her HP.

”I see... But if you need a hug, then tell me! I will hug you too.” Michu stated, then closed his eyes. It was really too cold here, but The Azure Liquid Control kicked in after he closed his eyes and shifted his situation for a little better.

If he had something hot to eat or drink, then Michu would go through the quest no problem!

”I will remember that,” Venomous replied, then looked at the front. Where was this platform taking them to? She wanted to see the end already, but if she was correct, then this was The Frozen Trial that would take some time...

Was withstanding the coldness... the only aspect of this very trial, though?
