Chapter 15 - Ice

After my days of preparation I am ready to visit the Demon Side, I wonder what will I see in that place, maybe demons that look like the demon world that I rule in thousands of years.

"This is what great about adventurers." I murmured, of course this is what great adventurers always excited about, A new place never before seen by many, lands and treasures unfold only to the braves.

After I put all what we need I get a Wooden Spatial Ring made from the iron three, I heard from Marina that this ring is made to make sure they have foods when they go in the forest, a few square meters inside of this ring is enough to hide everything we need.

"Alright let`s go!" Lunaria said already riding on the little puppy and I shook my head. "Your too young for this." I said calmly but she just hug the little pup.

"Lunaria is a great navigator, she see many place, she knows where the other race`s lives the kind and the bad ones, she can make your journey much more faster and safer your majesty." Luna said, so with no choice I agree and I brush the Little pup`s fur.

"Let`s go little pup." I said then she howl and soon start running and blinking again and again, the journey is safe and sound, Lunaria simply tell where we go and the Little Pup follow the direction, we even saw the other Abyssal wolves with the Minokawa hunting in our journey.

They hunt so far away, god now I know why there is no monster horde running in our little town, it`s simply because before they can group up the Wolves and the Minokawas hunting them not to mention the other Serpentine and Batibats are on the three probably they are the watcher.

"This people are truly diligent on what they are doing." I murmured, soon the forest suddenly get dark, a heinous feeling invade us, but since I am a Lich and this Little pup knows no fear we don`t give a damn, we even see few spirits, I am sure those Batibats will be interested here and I am sure they will found this place.

"Are you sure we are in the right direction? Threes here are dead, I am sure that there is only ghost and spirits living here." I said but Lunaria murmured few words that I don`t understand maybe this world`s ancient elven words?

"No your majesty, this place is not a place of the dead, it is how the river sprite scare the predators, this place is quite beautiful, land filled with flowers and life." She said and touch my eyes soon I saw a different place, then I smirk.

My senses was invade and I was on illusion made by the Spirit Sprites, how Ironic, I am so powerful but using fragrance they put me on spell, I look around the three and saw little things hiding, they maybe the Spirit Sprites, they are as small as the pixies but has a translucent body, they look adorable, but I can see that they are mischievous creatures by the look of their eyes.

"They love playing tricks of those who enter their body, I heard in the past many elves meet their demise in this land because of their innocence at that time." She said and I smile, yup I can see that, maybe that is also why they know how to counter this creatures little tricks, they sill surely don`t want the Minokawas fall in this tricks, because if those creatures are threaten, them getting burned to death is their the least of worry.

"Anyway we are at the edge of the Abyssal Forest!" She said and I look in front and saw a glowing white light and I smile. "Land of Demons here I come!" I said and soon the little pup stopped on his tracked.

"The great wall! this is one of the things stopping those demons on marching in the Abyss Forest." She said soon the little pup start descending by jumping on stone by stone, but the more we go down the colder it gets, soon the cold become unbearable and I cast a heat magic on the three of us, then the little pup stop again after an hour and what I saw is a place filled with eyes and snow.

"The Land of Ice, my ancestors walk to this land to reach the Abyss Forest, there is another term on this land... Ice Abyss, this place is also part of the Abyss, but not like the Abyss Forest this place never see life! as ones part of the ancient battle field many gods, heroes and demon lords die here." She said and I nod. "I think the whole Abyss is an ancient battle field right?" I said jokingly but to my surprise she nod.

"Yes, the whole Abyss is an Ancient Battlefield, this land drink the blood of gods, heroes and demon lords of the past, also many ancient creatures gone extinct in this very land, specially here in the Ice Abyss." She said, I try to take off the heat magic on my hand but it suddenly get frozen ice I can feel the boning chill, I mean it literally, even the bones in my hand is frozen, so I activate it again and soon it get warmer.

"Some also call this the land of no life, this place can`t bare even a single blade of grass." She said and I smirk. "Remember this little brat, there is no place where there is no life, that`s a plane BS don`t believe that, because everyone who want to survive will even walk in the land of knives just to survive, not to mention a simple bone chilling place like this." I said, well that`s the truth.

"Even an ant will walk to this land if it means it`s their survival, a little bit hope is better that absolute none." I said many race will do whatever it takes to grasp on that little tiny word Hope. "Your race said that already right? That is how those ancestors of your are surely have a heart of still, because to survive this place I am sure many elves died, you can say that your ancestor`s ancestors died in this land also." I said she smile and nod.

"I know how great they are, there are many stories we carry up until now on how our ancestors passed this place and reach the Abyss Forest." She said then the whole jumped down, I wonder what life form I will see here?

"Little pups, let`s go full speed, I want to meet the other creatures of this land, I am sure there are few intelligent creatures living here, and surely a ferocious ones." I sand and the little pup simply howl again and dash full speed this time.

The snow and the ice is hindering our views but using my magic our eyes can`t be hindered by this little snow flakes, even if we are inside of the snow storms this magic eyes can`t be hindered.

Soon we passed the snow storm unhindered and look how beautiful a white land, this place is great, and for the first time I saw life! a pure white flower was standing tall in this land filled with ice.

"Look here little girl, this is what I said, anything can survived in any land." I said and rather than breaking it to the stem I picked it whole and get a soil filled put and hide it on the spatial ring, I am sure those little pixie would love to tend this things.

Now that I see life in this place, it means there will be an intelligent beings, I wonder what kind of intelligent beings stay in this harsh weather? I order the little pup to start running again after all I can`t wait to meet them!
