Chapter 80 by SmallestStories SmallestStories

So, where to go now ?

The right path.

You needed to make a choice eventually, and after arguing with yourself for a while, you ended up setting your mind on the right path. You knew that Permafrost was already using ice, but since you were sure you wouldn't meet him a lot, the right path would be the better choice, at least to you.

So you followed the blue spark, which led you even deeper underground. This time, the further you got, the stranger the air became, as it felt like it was getting colder and colder, something that would prove true when you started really needing something hot to warm you up, making you stop for a moment to really feel the coldness of the tunnel. Despite that, and maybe because you started to really get used to whatever could happen in this world, you quickly continued walking, soon catching up with the spark, right before entering another cavern, which was a dead end this time, but with a sight that you did not expect.

In the center of the cavern, there was yet another statue of the woman, a blue hue emanating from it and bathing the room, making everything - even you - look blue-ish. What was different from the other statues though, was the fact that it was sculpted in a way that made the woman look like she was giving away something. The something could be an orb, similar to the one Zeromus gifted you, pulsing with an icy energy coming from within.

"You have made your choice, was it the right one ? Was it the wrong one ? There will not be any answer to this question." The voice said, as the spark in front of you started to disappear. "Both of those choices lead to the same outcome, and this outcome is yours to shape. Now, take my gift, the gift of the primal energy that shaped this world so long ago."

Afterwards, the voice stopped, and the orb, which was originally between the hands of the statue, floated down to stop right in front of you. You couldn't believe completely what the voice told you, so you decided to check what was this orb with your Knowledge ability, something that you should have done with Zeromus' orb too, now that you think about it.

Primal Orb

Magic contained : Primal Ice

Primal Ice : Grants the user a limitless use of the Ice coursing through the world.

Wait... A limitless use of the Ice coursing through the world ? You understood to a point what that meant, but your mind was just not accepting it for now... You will need some explanation from Shirayuki, if she continues to train Rei and Douma tomorrow...

Anyway, you eventually ended up touching the orb, making it disappear in a matter of seconds, while you felt yourself being overwhelmed with pure energy, for an instant, before everything stopped. By the time you understood what happened, the cavern was completely dark, the blue hue having disappeared completely.

The sensation of the power of ice coursing through your veins was something that you couldn't describe, and to try your power, you made a small block of ice appear in your hand, illuminating the room for an instant because of the primal nature of this ice, and giving you an idea. While you kept the block of ice in your hand to illuminate the place, you started walking back to the manor, unaware of the slight blue glow coming from your weapons...

This was unexpected.
