Chapter 87 87 - Winter

That group emerged in a completely deserted forest, a little way off, amidst the trees was a table of guild agents playing cards. There were four men sitting at a plastic table, next to that animated group were some weapons and a giant red portal.

Even with the distance, Ryan and the rest of the travelers could easily hear the excited shouts that that game was creating. "No way! You're just lying!" one of the agents shouted, his eyes wide. "I'm not! You're just bad" The other replied, laughing as he looked at the group of travelers approaching.

The Kodiak Druid then took the lead, greeting those four men in suits and explaining the situation. The men seemed tired from waiting, so the arrival of travelers was somewhat comforting. "We arrived five hours ago at this portal, so far there has been no change in the magic flow. You can go in now" The older agent said, as he stood up and pulled a cell phone from his pocket.

"Ryan, can I ask you a question?" Roy said, as he clenched both eyebrows, annoyed.

"Sure" he replied.

The redhead then looked at him from head to toe, and confused questioned. "Aren't you going to wear armor? That's a bit dangerous"

It was a coherent question, looking up, Ryan ran out of answers "I haven't found armor that would fit me, and the neodrazzil academy uniform can handle a little magical impact. I think it's about time I got something..."

The red-haired man then stooped down and began to pet the white panther that was next to him. "I know some good craftsmen, if you need help haha" the red-haired man said laughing, as he put a piece of meat in that beast's mouth.



Then the druid returned, with hurried steps. "Is everyone ready? Let's enter the portal now" the whole group confirmed and following the trees they approached the portal. With each step, a feeling of pressure arose in the bodies of the members of that group, it was as if the portal was pulling each of them inside. All the grass near that gigantic sphere of red energy had been pulled inward.

'This one is much stronger than the previous one...' Ryan sighed and then, followed the group into the portal.

* Vwuuuush

The portal pulled everyone in the team through, throwing them into a thick snow. Ryan's feet sank on the first step, the snow was hitting his hips, it was extremely torturous and difficult to walk, but looking to the side, one of the members of the group seemed to have no problem.

Nivia was walking above the snow without difficulty, the sight was astonishing. In front of the whole group was this short haired girl who seemed to be camouflaging herself in that icy space, it was as if the cold itself accepted her presence, as if she was part of that mountainous and lonely terrain. "Try to step on the snow as if it were a ladder, I will use levitation magic" she said, while moving her small and delicate pale hands. A light appeared at her fingertips, following the movement of her body until it flew out towards all the members of the group.

Moving his right leg, Roy Radcliffe managed with difficulty to stand up on the snow, then his white panther Snowy jumped easily to the top. Ryan and Kodiak did too, then Ruri jumped up with a big smile. The only one who was unable to move was Damian, who remained stuck and motionless in the snow.

He was roaring like a monster, annoyed at his own foot that couldn't get off the ground. "Something stuck to my armor, what the fuck" then, moving his arm he withdrew his shield and sword and moving with all the strength he possessed, he attacked the snow around him.

"IGNIS BERSERKER!" He shouted, as his armor glowed with a red light. Within seconds, the snow around him began to melt with ease, causing him to be able to move forward without any problem. However, when he tried to climb up and step into the snow, instead of walking through the layer like the rest of the group, Damian was falling face first onto the ground.

Irritated by the cold and that place, Damian screamed with all his might as he advanced melting all the snow. Ignoring the support Nivia had given him. But his action came at a price. Several kilometers ahead, a gigantic mountain range of crystals, stone and ice began to vibrate. The sound was so loud that it reached the ears of the travelers, who exchanged worried glances.

All the mountains around the snowy area they were in began to vibrate, it was an avalanche all together. The sound of Damian's cries of fury echoed so easily that all the mountains in the area began to drop the snow accumulated on top. The distance from the group was safe, so the avalanches just began to dump the snow around the sea of snow they were in.





Taking the lead, Kodiak was wearing a concerned face "Ruri, use the fire elementals to warm up the group. Try to keep at least ten percent of your mana. Nivia do the same with the levitation blessing, Ryan and Roy, I will need your help with ranged attacks. Damian, I want you to use the warrior's leap when you advance."

The group then nodded, as they prepared themselves for what was to come. Kodiak's ears were better than everyone around, this was one of the skills of a druid, an enhanced perception of nature, better even than Ryan's already sharp demonic perception.

<This is going to be a bit tricky Ryan...>

'Don't tell me we're...'

<Exactly>

A larger vibration was emerging on the ground below the group. In the center of that sea of snow, the vibration was causing the snow to move like water, as the vibration increased, a giant circle was following in front of everyone in the group. Within seconds, that snow exploded, flying everywhere.
