____After talking to Owner of several weapon shops, Phantom could understand why. Phantom's reputation had become like a seal of purity and holiness. When Phantom went to buy weapons, they were unsure whether they should sell them. This made Phantom secretly sigh and feel tired. It turned out that Phantom could buy weapons at Decares more comfortably than buying from other shops.
____In the past, no matter how much work and contribution Phantom had made to the country, those things were never known. Everything would remain as quiet as the smooth surface of the ocean, as if it were a mirror. But no one knew how much the storm waves beneath the water were changing the world. Everything had both good and bad aspects. Often, doing good things and not being recognized by anyone caused discouragement. But after a long time, Phantom gradually got used to it.
____However, after Phantom came to this world, he could no longer act as invisible as a shadow. Fate slowly dragged him into the center of the shining light. Phantom did not know whether what happened to him would be a good thing or not. Soldiers used generals to resist, water used soil to cover it up. Phantom could only adapt to the situation and face it.
____Phantom walks , thinking about the future, admiring the scenery on both sides of the road. The shops and houses of the people of Metrolight are usually located along the rivers and lakes. Because the Aurora Kingdom is always cold and snowy, the snow that falls melts into water, some of which flows into the lake. But because the weather is cold, most of the lake surface is frozen for most of the year.
____The frozen lake in the middle of the city is very beautiful. The surface of the frozen lake reflects the faint light, sparkling. Around the lake, including in the center of the lake, there are many pine trees and willow trees . Since there is still water under the surface of the lake, it is not a problem for these trees. Although the Aurora Kingdom is very cold, there are still many species of trees that can thrive in the cold climate, such as pine, fir, spruce , willow , maple, and oak. etc.
____But the highlight of this lake was not the willow tree in the middle of the water with its green leaves and long roots dipping into the lake, but the fireflies that nested in the willow tree and flew around the middle of this icy lake. What Phantom was least good at was entomology. Phantom was not sure if it was normal for fireflies to live in such a cold place. In Metrolight City, there was only one firefly living in the middle of this lake. It had white fur all around its body. Its species was called ' snow fireflies ' by the people of Aurora . And for this reason, this icy lake was called ' Firefly Lake ' by the people of Metrolight City.
____The fading light made Metrolight City begin to darken again. In the middle of the dark lake, it was gradually illuminated by the pale yellow light of hundreds of millions of fireflies. The thick dark clouds made it almost impossible for people to see the stars clearly in the sky. But the yellow glow of the fireflies in the middle of the lake now made the center of Firefly Lake feel like it was in the middle of the Milky Way galaxy. The flickering lights of the fireflies alternately flashing and extinguishing in an irregular and disorderly manner made people feel the peace of ordinary life. The beauty of the fireflies' lights in the darkness made the Aurora Kingdom have many tales and legends about fireflies.
[Boom ! Scream !!]
____The sound of ice on the surface of Firefly Lake breaking and objects falling into the water caused Phantom to turn back in shock. Phantom stood in the middle of the stone bridge, looking down into one side of Firefly Lake.
____The sound of an accident came from behind Phantom on the other side of the lake. When Phantom hurriedly turned to look, he saw a small hand and a bunch of red hair quickly disappearing under the crack on the surface of the Firefly Lake. The sub-zero cold meant that a human falling into the Firefly Lake could go into shock and die in just a few seconds. At this moment, the dark Firefly Lake was no different from a gate of hell that was devouring people's lives.
____"Oh no !! " Phantom exclaimed in shock and jumped off the stone bridge without thinking.
____"Ventum Tejitas !! " Phantom shouted a spell and quickly flew down to the area where the ice had broken.
____" Ignis Bullus !! " (Fire Bubble Magic)
____Phantom 's shout caused a red-orange magic bubble to form around him. This was a fusion magic that combined the effects of two elements, Wind and Fire. Air could be stored inside the bubble, making it convenient to dive into the water. The heat of the fire element would prevent Phantom from freezing to death, but right now, with his too little mana, Phantom estimated that he only had a minute or so to be able to use underwater magic.
[Boom !! Boom !!]
____The sound of bubbles hitting the ice and the high heat caused steam to spread throughout the area. The holes in the ice that were originally just small spider web cracks were now melted by two-meter bubbles that became a wide area.
[Bung bung bung]
____The sound of heat hitting the icy water under the icy lake created the sound of bubbles surrounding Phantom . He felt like he had turned into a submarine, but it was probably a blind submarine. Because all around Phantom right now was darkness. The underwater world was originally a land of darkness, but right now, it seemed like there was only this terrifying, extreme darkness surrounding Phantom .
____Time passed quickly as Phantom sank deeper and deeper into the lake. Phantom was unable to find the people who had fallen underwater. His magic was too weak. All of Phantom's abilities and magical senses were completely extinguished underwater. His record of underwater rescues in the frozen sea was almost zero. Phantom had never known how weak he was before.
____' No way... Time's up, ' Phantom thought with despair and sadness. Almost a minute had passed as Phantom continued to scan the dark world around him.
____Underwater rescue in cold regions is extremely dangerous. Even the rescuer can die at any time. Even Phantom himself can barely tell which side is up and which side is down. It's too late...
[Winkk]
____As if by some miracle, a small yellow light flickered out from under the water on Phantom's left side and quickly disappeared. This was his last chance. Phantom had no choice. Phantom forced the bubble to fly in the direction of the flickering light immediately.
____The image of a little girl with long red hair spread out all over the water before Phantom's eyes. The girl was about 3-5 years old, wearing a fiery red princess dress. She was sleeping soundly and was no longer conscious. But strangely, she was still hugging the cut octagonal crystal ball tightly to her chest, not letting go even after she had passed out. Inside the crystal were many little fireflies that were still glowing, fighting the cold inside. Phantom immediately knew that this was the light he had seen a moment ago.
____Phantom quickly rushed forward and pulled the mysterious girl into the bubble, holding her in his arms. As soon as Phantom got the girl back, he forced the bubble to shoot back up the lake as fast as he could.
____"She is very cold. Her body is permeated by the cold and she is very lethargic. We need to quickly drain the water from her windpipe before performing CPR," Phantom said , who decided to give her first aid as soon as possible without waiting to reach the surface.
