-In the southeast part of Secret, on the side of the canyon near Village C.
At that moment Alice Snow was alone, heading towards Village C, passing through the frozen gorge. Until her eyes lit up, it looks like she saw something very interesting.
[Ice Mirror]
When the magic power in Alice Snow's body exploded releasing B-level magic, a mirror reflecting it appeared among the snow on the mountainside.
"I will watch your performance, if you entertain me I can give this chance to you."
She spoke as she entered the mirror that reflected her image, disappearing from the place. If you don't know there's a person here, it's impossible to detect their presence in this world full of ice and snow.
After all, Alice Snow is a Silver level Mage, she awakened the element of Water and Ice, which is the element of her Snow family. As for having Water and Ice element at the same time, it is a gift given by God. In this world if a mage has more than one element at silver level, he has a Gift or ingested an Elemental object that touched the laws, to change his Elemental attribute.
- Main Road Aldeia C.
Walking through the forest, Filipe Wind found the path that leads straight to Aldeia C.
Come to think of it, now that he's a mid-level Bronze Warrior, his strength has increased a lot. With the [Ice Emperor] gift as a base, his kingdom at the bronze level is already formed. Now he just needs to create his fighting style, with the use of various C-level Skills. As a bronze-level warrior, he already touches the skills that use the elements. Therefore, his fighting style is different from before, using only mana to strengthen his body.
"So after the Realm test is over, when I get back home, I have to go to the family Magic Library."
Filipe Wind did not hesitate any longer as he spoke, and hurried to walk faster along the road to reach Aldeia C, even today. But it wasn't long before his enhanced hearing heard footsteps in the distance.
Stopping in place, Filipe Wind frowned. With his affinity for the elements, he should have sensed someone approaching from a distance. But since I only heard the sound of footsteps now, if the individual doesn't want to be noticed, I won't know of his presence. For his presence to deceive my perception, it must be a magician specializing in concealment.
So since the other party has already shown good will, I don't need to be too stressed. I just need a skill to improve my perception. I don't want this type of incident to happen again.
Da da da!
As soon as he stopped, the sound of footsteps was closer, coming off the side of the road. A shadow with blue clothes and long white silver hair, probably just one person.
After he approached, the shadow noticed my presence and stopped at a distance. Filipe Wind noticed that it was a young woman he didn't know. But the place and distance she stopped, you can observe me and back off if you want. Making it difficult for me to see if I take a few steps back.
Alice Snow recognized that the young man standing in front of her was the individual who had been gifted by God, and had caused quite a stir in the secret not so long ago. It was also lucky to find a person with that potential in the middle of a third tier city test. With a hand running through her hair, she said looking into the same blue eyes:
"So it was you."
His words seemed to imply something, but he didn't say anything. Just the calm sound of his voice showed a person's character. Furthermore, at her age of 18, having an easygoing character shows that the young woman came from a noble family. In other words, the other party has probably already adapted to the medium of use of words, and has been calculating the direction of the conversation since the first time it appeared.
Filipe Wind already realized that the young woman in front of him is not easy, before the conversation starts he is already passive. That way, she's the only one who will ask questions and I'll have to answer. So he decided to cut the subject first:
"Filipe Wind, is my name. I'm going to Village C."
After giving the young woman a quick bow, he continued to follow her path. After all, despite admiring the other party's calculation, he didn't know her. Presenting the name is already an acknowledgment for the other party. As for strength, he couldn't even feel its presence. So it's safer to continue walking into town alone, than together with a stranger who doesn't know your background.
After confirming that Philip Wind had left, astonishment appeared in Alice Snow's eyes. With a smile that appeared on her face, she couldn't help but say:
"As expected, he is someone unpredictable. But that makes it more interesting."
[Ice Mirage]
Alice Snow also left the place and headed towards Village C. Using a level B skill, her body blended with the snow with every step she took. Like a mirage she melted into ice. Though she is still here, her ability is a way of masking her presence with the element of ice. It is derived from his other skill [Ice Mirror], with another way of using it.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the bright silver moon hung over the sky, sprinkled with moonlight, nurturing all things.
Boom Boom Boom!
As Filipe Wind approached the Village, the grass and trees became increasingly sparse. With flat terrain, your walking speed has increased. Now all that's left is to go over the next mountain, and you'll be able to see the outline of the village.
"If I keep going at this rate, I can be there in a few hours."
Filipe Wind muttered in a low voice, probably this time he won't have any accidents. This road is already too long for your liking. It could be said that he did not encounter any obstacles in his way during his journey through the secret. But today everything got out of his control. Whether it's reaching Bronze Level Warrior, or receiving a Gift from God and now approached by strangers who can't see the bottom. The gap between my planned days and today's out of control already made him unhappy. But it was also good, it took him out of his comfort zone and made him see the real world outside his home.
"Boom Boom Boom!"
Stones came like rain from the sky all of a sudden. It was a huge, furry humanoid figure, who was throwing the earth-enhanced stones towards me. Along with more than a dozen figures made from the same mold, only shorter. They were probably copper level earth beasts, and the big one that looked like the leader was bronze level.
"It is time to test this Gift. I don't know how much power I can use at the bronze level, but these magical beasts have arrived just in time to find out."
[Ice Emperor]
Forming a Wind sword in his hand, the Wind element continued after forming the sword, and spread across his entire body like armor. This is the maximum power he can use at bronze level, fashioning a sword and armor with the help of the Wind element. As for the Water and Ice element, he won't use it in public. His family despite having a gold level mage now, cannot own a Gift holder.
"I will use swordsmanship, as a means of attack at the bronze level."
Filipe Wind, standing in the same place, calmly brandished his sword on the stones that would hit him, and cut them in half. It was very simple for him to do that, with his fighting experiences gifted by the [Ice Emperor] Gift. Cutting the rocks that would hit him was the way to spend less mana and achieve the goal of showing that the rocks couldn't hurt him. Resulting in the earth beasts coming to melee combat.
The leader of the earth beasts saw that such an attack was of no use. Then he sent his copper-level men to surround and try to wear down the energy of the opponent who was on the same level as him. But that gave him a lot of pressure, as a superior creature.
"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Receiving their leader's orders, the earth beasts scattered around the place, gathered towards the target pointed out by the leader. These earth beasts did not fear death, only their leader's order was decree for them. Such is the life of these low-level beasts, they only serve as cannon fodder, and they dare not resist. But they struggle even harder to hope to reach a higher level.
Filipe Wind looked at these beasts that ran towards him, still with the same calm swinging the sword at the approaching target and cutting it in half. However, at this moment a slightly faster earth beast rushed towards Philip Wind's neck. Aiming for his neck, as if to decapitate him.
Even in this situation, Filipe Wind had a calm as if it was carved into his bones. In his fencing realm, no matter the obstacle, just cut a path. He just stepped to the side, and brandishing his sword slashed through another earth beast. Although this one seemed a little stronger than the others, it didn't change the overall situation.
The leader of the earth beasts felt that the pressure on him seemed to be increasing. As this young man brandished his sword and slew his people, he seemed to be becoming more at ease and moving freely. Without that rigidity of the beginning of the battle.
"Roar!"
The massive body of the leader of the earth beasts charged towards Philip Wind. As a bronze level magical beast, he used his [Earth Body] skill, growing bigger and heavier. His stature was now four meters tall, with every step he took the ground swayed.
You could tell he was a heavy guy, with high defense and strong offense. All magical beasts that reached the copper level begin to have an alignment as it approaches an element. Resulting that when they reach the bronze level, through this tendency they gain a skill suitable for their use of body and species.
Seeing the mountain in motion, Filipe Wind took advantage of his speed and left the place he was. Heading towards a land full of rocks. Which, is too narrow for big guys. And with his body's flexibility, the battle can be fought more easily. Now that there are few earth beasts left, he will focus on fighting their leader. After all, the bronze level is a threshold, who reaches such a level is not a weak person.
"Bang!"
The leader of the earth beasts destroyed everything that stood in his way. Despite realizing, that he only destroyed trees and rocks on the spot. He didn't give up on his objective and ran after Filipe Wind, towards the land full of rocks. Why, even feeling a pressure from that young man, but he believed more in his strength.
Filipe Wind, among the stones, fought flexibly and dodged his opponent's attacks. His sword slashed when it had the chance, leaving a mark on a body that felt like it was made of rock.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The huge fist smashed the ground, opening big holes, and the ground shook in agreement. Stones were crushed and dust filled the sky.
After a long fight, the leader of the earth beasts was decreasing the frequency of his attacks. With his body scarred and only concentrated on attacking, he held out for a long time.
Having become accustomed to his opponent's movements during the fight. Filipe Wind had a foresight, and waited for his chance to end the battle. Seeing that the opponent's movements were like fluid attacks and now gave a tendency to change pace. Filipe Wind brandished his sword and cut off the head of the leader of the earth beasts.
As he predicted, he had a mana failure just as the opponent changed the pace of movement, and his body's mana pace also changed. But in order to be able to cut through its tough skin, Filipe Wind concentrated more mana on the sword. It concentrated more Wind, and had a tendency to get sharper. As a result, after such a cut, it disappeared.
"Not bad, for a battle."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Filipe Wind commented, seeing the corpse falling to the ground.
Meanwhile, the remnants of the earth beasts fled when their leader was killed. But even though he could kill all these earth beasts, Filipe Wind chose to let them go. Why, in this world everything that is too much is not good. During these days, he had to kill many lives. Now the time has come to break this trend. So he let them go, resulting in breaking this cycle.
