268 Boiling Waters (1/2)
-Deeper Part ofCalm Blizzard-
The other ships were able to avoid the giant iceberg completely but we're in the middle so it's so hard to get away in time. We don't have a choice but to destroy it.
”Akko, let's do this,” I said and we stood up in front of the forecastle deck mast. (in front of the ship)
”Be careful when you're beside me, I'm hot.” She said and smiled at me. Well, I can tell.
”I'm sure you are. Let's break the ice and cool off.” And I smiled back.
”Just do it and stop flirting!” Osia shouted. Who said we're flirting?! I looked at Akko and she's blushing... oh...
”SCORCHING FIRESTORM UNISON FLAMES!” We used both of our flames and concentrated it to one attack creating massive fireballs from above and crashed to the giant iceberg!
*BOOOOOOM BOOOOOOOM!* In just that attack, the iceberg was obliterated and it even melted the ice below it. The fog got thicker due to the water vapor.
As we look closer, we can tell that it's safe now as that's the only iceberg in front of us. The snow cleared up after that massive blast and we can now see clearly and there are more icebergs ahead. Thankfully, it wasn't as dangerous as we expected. There's still no monsters nearby so we can tell that this area is really a safe place from monsters.
After that, it seems like we are getting more and more icebergs around the area which are really a big threat to our ships. Sometimes, we hit something from below the ship but so far, no major problems occur. The ships are sturdy and strong. If we don't have Two Teeth and Glace, this mission is really impossible.
Now, it's seriously dark and we spent the day by entering the Calm Blizzard. Dodging and destroying the icebergs made us alert of what might happen or show up but thank God, just icebergs. The moons don't even have the slightest chance to give us a glimpse of light. Now, it's already night and our only light is the Light Sprites. They're very useful because they provide a wider range of light without us using our mana. It also made us keep on track with each other because we might lose each other again with this thick ice fog. We can't get near each other because there are still icebergs on the sea and we need to keep awake.
Half of our crew decided to log out of the game and to eat and take a break so now, I can finally eat after a long day of traveling the sea.
-Aries Home-
I woke up and it's weird that I feel like I'm still on the ship. The wavy feeling and the icy fog gives me the chills. I hate the feeling but I don't have a choice. I need to get back soon because they really need to take a break too.
After I cleaned myself, I rushed down the dining hall to eat and I met everyone including Glace.
”Come now, we're waiting for you, Bro,” Mari asked me to join them and so I sit down.
”So, how's the first day of your adventure?” Azzie asked. Do I have to answer her?
”Well, it's cold. We're on a part of the sea where there's a cold place and there's a lot of icebergs blocking the way. So far, we didn't have any problems other than that.”
”We still have a long way to go. Tomorrow, the whole day, we will still be crossing the deeper part of the Calm Blizzard so it's another cold day. We need to stay focused because the icebergs this time will be bigger and bigger as we go further.” Glace reported. More problems...
”So, how long do you think you'll take to reach the island?” Azzie asked.
”I'm not sure but based on our speed now, it might take two weeks if we can maintain our speed unlike before which took us three weeks to reach the Island. I really don't want to admit it but Sitter did a great job creating and improving the ships.” Glace answered.
”That's better. Our best agents are ready and waiting for the right time. I hope that we don't get too many casualties when we are going to save their parents. We really need them, now that Sir Maximus is gone. For now, just take care. Avoid unnecessary combat and stick to your mission.” She ordered.
”Roger that,”
-Life Ship-
And so now, I'm back to the game while Akko and her team are now out to take their break time. So far, all we can do is avoid the icebergs and still trying to get this place as soon as possible.
