We arrived 200 meters from the blizzard area. It was white. Really white. All I see was white. I can feel my breath turn cold. The temperature was really low. Lower than it was at the mountain. I looked at Evelyn. She looked eager to use her Artifact. She was stretching. Her chest swaying. I'm really not good with woman.
"Can you do it?"
Farik asked her a question. She looked at Farik with a proud face.
"Hmph my Artifact is powerful enough to at least make a path that can stay for 5 hours."
"That long?"
"What?" Evelyn looked irritated. "You think my Artifact is a normal Artifact or something. It is one of the Mythical series you know Mythical. This will be easy~"
"O-Oh okay then. Tell us when you are ready." Farik awkwardly backed away from her.
She walked towards me and stopped in front of me. She looked up at me with a serious face.
"Remember to send me the Coldwood when you're done. The shaved ice machine too. Come back alive alright?"
She bump her little fist on my chest.
"Alright. Don't worry. I don't plan on dying."
Evelyn put on a small smile. She turned around and walked to near the blizzard area. Me and Farik followed her. WE stood about 30 meters from her. She was 50 meters from the blizzard. She spread her legs as wide as her shoulder. She breathe in and out a couple of times.
Red tattoo marks started appearing surrounding her mouth. I could see Vestia fluctuate around her. Farik beside me was in awe.
"Look at that amount of Vestia. It is so much that it become visible."
I nodded at Farik words. Evelyn has a copious amount of Vestia since she was little. Her Vestia kept growing over the years. That must be the reason why that Artifact chose her.
Evelyn took one deep breath. She opened her mouth wide before as she was exhaling. The red marks glowed bright red like flames. An enormous and concentrated amount of flames came out of her mouth melting the ground below her.
The flames hit the blizzard. Melting everything in a straight path towards the center of the blizzard. The ground where the flames move heated and melted like in a furnace.
Look at that firepower. Destroying everything in its path. Truly living up to its name as one of the most powerful Artifact out there. The Dragon's Breath. After a few seconds, a wide straight path was created parting the blizzard. The flames slowly died down. Evelyn huff and puff when she was done.
"As amazing as always Evelyn."
Evelyn with a really smug turn her face away. "You can praise me more. I'm always amazing."
She then looked at me with a very serious face. She looked into my eyes.
"Don't die okay. I don't want to cry on your grave."
"Alright, I promise I won't die." I fist bumped her.
I tapped my shoes on the ground a few times. Farik stood beside me. He was in his Alchemist robe. A black robe with golden lines. His Grimoire was minified to a fist size and worn as a necklace.
I looked at him and he looked at me. He nodded. I nodded back. I activated my Artifact shoes and my leg was enveloped by wind. Farik's Grimoire glowed and his leg was enveloped by darkness. We started running on the path created by Evelyn. The surrounding area was warm.
We were moving fast. Evelyn was getting smaller and smaller. Our left and right was white. Fully white. A small human like figure appeared in our vision. It was Ruth. He was sitting on chair made from harden snow. We were getting near the center of the blizzard.
After running for awhile we entered the center of the blizzard. It was calm. There was no blizzard rampaging here. There was a man with snow white hair sitting on a chair. He was reading a Grimoire. He closed his Grimoire and slowly looked up to us. One of his eye was completely black with a red iris.
He tilted his head to the left and right. A big wide smile with teeth showing crept up on his face.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" a maniacal laugh came from him. He covered his eyes with his left hand while looking up.
He then looked at us again this time with a snicker.
"You come to me Farik. You come to me on your own accord, Farik! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" a loud maniacal laugh sounded from him again but this time with a tinge of madness.
Ruth stood up as his chair crumble onto the ground. He opened his arms wide like he is presenting something.
"Look at this Farik! Look at what I can do. Look at how magnificent and incredible this spell is! Amazing isn't it. Look at how contracting with a demon give me this ability to cast this spell. Look at me Farik!" Ruth has a big menacing smile on his face. His eyes were so wide as if it can pop out anytime.
"You really contracted with a demon, Ruth. I really don't want to believe when I heard you went berserk. But that left eye. The proof of a contract." Farik point his index finger at Ruth's left eye.
Ruth face slowly turned serious. He put his hand behind his back and started pacing left and right.
"Do you want to know something Farik? Do you want to know a truth I discovered during my travel, brother?"
"What did you discovered?"
"I found out that our teacher, our MASTER is a fucking liar. Benevolent? Kind? She is a hypocrite, Farik. HYPOCRITE! You see this left eye Farik." Ruth point at his left eye. "You see this proof of a contract with a demon. I saw it! I saw it on her!"
