Chereads / The Dark Magi's Ascension / Chapter 10 - Difficulty {1}

Chapter 10 - Difficulty {1}

(In the dense forest of the Avalgia Kingdom.)

I ran with a speed of 7 years old.

It was like I ran in the court.

I wasn't equipped with black gauntlets created by my black magic.

I decided to not use black magic for the time being.

I depleted a lot of mana on the way.

I need a lot of mana from previous battles.

The dense forest was covered with a misty fog.

I could barely see the way in the forest.

It is easy to get lost in this type of area.

I must be wary of these monsters here.

Since I got a message from Silvia before entering.

Her bird beast was there standing at the entrance of the forest.

I recognized her as Silvia brought her a lot when we're playing with each other.

She managed to write a small note.

...

Daris,

Auntie and I are in the depths of the Frozen Temple of Avalgia, on the southern side of the forest frozen lake Auntie somehow managed to open the door of the chamber. I don't know how but please come to our side. Aunt forced me to write this like she knew a bit before.

Please daris, I don't think this place isn't any good.

...

A thought crossed my mind.

『How did mom know that I'm going to come here? How does mom know the location of the frozen temple?』

I ran as quickly as possible to the southern part of the frozen lake.

Keeping these thoughts to my heart after a few hours I reached the frozen lake.

It was a huge lake completely frozen in ice. The icicles were spreading across the plants which were near by it. There were blue coloured fireflies dancing around these plants. The animal near was dead in the ice. I could smell the rich scent of ice roses which were growing near the bushes of thorny plants. I felt the coldness in the air blowing to my body, causing me to shiver a bit. I placed my feet on the ground, and there was a slippery surface. I heard the cracking sound of the ice on the surface.

[Channel your black magic to your feet, like gauntlets in your arms, on your feet the magic of any equipment you desire.]

I channel the black magic from my soul affinity. The black red aura surged around my feet transforming into black red skating shoes.

My feet felt warm upon wearing these shoes, keeping me from the cold.

I lifted my feet to the ice and pushed myself into skating through the ice surface.

It's actually fun to skate. I never had the time to enjoy a ride like this.

The more I got into the centre of Ice, the fog and the coldness of air increased. I couldn't say what was in front of me as I got into a maze of fog. The wind heavily flew across my face with snowflakes falling from the sky. I Realised that it was a full moon night.

I can't see anything. How did Sylvia and mom get there?

Then I looked downwards, shocked.

There was a big white animal below the ice surface where I was standing.

It all looks like a whale but more like a white whale with big jaws of Monsters like teeth. But it Looked slender like a milotic from Pokémon. There were Rainbow coloured tentacles falling from his head. It had fearsome eyes that had filled with red colour filled with tears.

It was facing North where his mouth opened, there was a rainbow colored shiny kept pulsating in between his mouth gap.

What was this beast anyway and why is it doing down there in the ice?

Suddenly It's red eye moved at me.

I was scared by its gigantic size and ferocious look.

If the ice surface melted in the sun, I would be perfect food for this beast!

I am getting really confused about how mum is able to get there in this creepy place.

[That's an infinity beast? What's doing it here on a lake like this?]

He knows what this is.

「Do you know what this thing is?」

He replied.

[It's essentially a matured frost infinity beast locked in a high level magical spell. If you were tackled by this frost beast you'd die in an instance. This must be related to the frozen temple! Let's go to get back your mom first!]

I never thought this whale was that strong. I don't know this but can it be tamed like in Pokemon?

[Unfortunately no this beast has already bonded with someone else. But its owner is missing.]

Dammit!

If I choose a Pokemon like this would be my partner for life.

[It's not a Pokemon, it is an Infinity beast. Once an infinity beast bonded its soul to a human soul, like you and me but the difference is I'm your magic and this thing is a monster.]

Let's not waste anymore time I have urgent business to do.

I skated more on the ice with ease and the feeling of nostalgia of playing in the grounds of Mumbai before my father died.

I inhaled a lot of cold air, feeling the trembling skin on my rough 7 year old body. I hissed [gizz] while hugging my body. I increased my speed to cuff myself from the cold.

I reached more and more at the depths of the frozen lake.

[Sanjay look at the front and there is a large building!]

I looked more at clearing the fog when I reached a place I didn't know before.

I was shocked.

It was a huge temple in the midst of this giant lake and beast. Like the name, it was a temple made out of ice, and was 8 stories tall. The gigantic door had the head of a snake in the centre of the surface. There were at the two sides of the door frozen Knights with gigantic weapons on their hands guarding in front of it. The giant blue flames were kindled on top of the torches indicating there's still people in there.

It looked more like an icy castle fashioned from a temple!

My jaws dropped, I backed off a bit in the fog.

[How are you going to handle this place sanjay? Don't you want to save your mother?]

I bit my lips, I gripped my hands into fists feeling the pain. I felt the cold wind flying at me. I heard my heart beat faster than before with the [Ba dump] sound. I smelled the scent of the blue rosy spreading across the air. I gulped the dry saliva in my throat. I clutched my hands from behind with a force.

「I'm going in.」
