Words : 901 Updated : Sep 26th, 2025

[Spirit King—Seraphina Montclair wishes to form a temporary contract with you.] [Do you accept?] [Y/N] "Is that really all you want?" Neraxis asked with a raised brow, hovering over the 'Yes' button. "That's all, darling." Seraphina replied with a soft smile. "Just make sure to survive and hold up your end of the deal." "Got it," he nodded in response and soon pressed the 'Yes' button. Immediately, a certain coldness enveloped him, spreading throughout his entire body and finally settling in his chest—right where his heart was.

[Ruler of Frost {SSS}] [Skill Description: ???] [Skill Effects (1/???): Frost Manipulation (Passive/Active Hybrid) – Manipulate all liquids and turn them into beautiful ice creations. Ability to manipulate the surrounding air and turn it into frost. No restrictions upon usage due to a high-level proficiency in the skill.] [Note: The remaining skill effects are locked due to the contract being temporary.] [Note 2: The limit is your imagination.] "Oho..." She shivered, hugging herself. "I haven't felt such an ecstatic feeling in such a long time, darling. Sorry that I can't share more—there are plenty of restrictions that come about when someone tries sharing their main skill." "It's fine," he waved her off, still staring at the skill's rarity. "This is more than enough. Thank you, Seraphina."@@@@ "Hehe... No problem," she replied with a giggle and turned around before making a massive castle materialize in front of them. "At the entrance, there's a portal you can use to get back. So if you want to defeat it sooner, I suggest you move." "See you later," Neraxis said with a nod before proceeding to run toward the castle, spotting a blue portal whirling in the castle's wall. With a wave back at Seraphina, he entered through it, appearing inside the forest once more. How do I use this... Neraxis pondered, activating {Ruler of Frost's: Frost Manipulation.} In an instant, the damp forest's temperature began dropping. Snowflakes formed in the air and fell, hitting the ground. As they did, small holes appeared, as though miniature meteorites had struck the earth. However, whenever they came into contact with Neraxis, they merely brushed past him. [Damn, she has some overpowered stuff,] Evangeline said with a hint of jealousy in her tone. Yup. Neraxis let out a chuckle before turning to where the most mana had gathered. He could see Eris fighting that amalgamation, just barely dodging its hits. Therefore, Neraxis stealthily approached behind it, focusing his mana. It's done, Neraxis let out a sigh and plopped down onto the ground. [Contract Expired!] Oh? Are five minutes up already? Neraxis thought as the coldness began leaving his body. But not all of it left—as a tiny portion of the frost stayed in his arms, specifically inside his Aura of the Abyss. "Hey! Mind lending a hand?" Eris called from the side. As he turned toward her, Neraxis saw her tangled in her own ropes, dangling from a tree branch. Nonetheless, instead of helping, he idly walked back to where the army of monarchs had been. But still, even as far away as he got, he could still hear her kind shouts. "You fucking bastard! Just wait till I find you!" Haha... I wonder if she'll make it in time, Neraxis mused as he finally arrived back where the ballistas had been scattered. Yet to his surprise, not a single body or weapon was in sight. The silence was a bit too loud. Nonetheless, that meant he had completed his mission and could now go back home. There were still a few questions he had—such as, how did that apostle even know he was Neraxis in the first place? Wasn't the mask supposed to hide his identity? [I think it only works if they don't know you exist in the first place. Since that apostle did, then... yeah,] Evangeline commented. I see... That does sound a bit annoying, he snickered and walked back to the city. After a little while, he made it and dashed all the way to the bell tower where he had interrogated Eris, before sitting down on the ground, overlooking the entire city. Soon, he pulled out his phone and immediately sent a single text. <Neraxis: It's done. Pull me out.> Immediately, he received a response. <Amara: Just a moment. I have to scatter the rest of the group.> Inwardly nodding, he put the phone back into his pocket and waited patiently. After a few minutes of waiting, he saw a small crack appear in the space in front of him. Therefore, with a couple of steps, he started walking inside. However, he suddenly felt some kind of push, followed by someone grabbing his waist, clinging tightly onto it. Looking down, he noticed the green-haired elf with a bow on her back, glaring at him with a victorious grin. "Got you now, motherfucker." "You idio—" Neraxis's words were interrupted when the space shifted around him. Soon, he flopped onto a cold, hard table with an annoying elf lying on top of him—as well as a golden-haired beauty staring at him with a cold look. "Fifth Veil... Just what do you think you're doing?"
