Chapter 975 God Stage

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The ground split in two as well as Keira's body. A perfect vertical cut forever took away her life and changed the landscape of the snowy desert as behind Keira, there was now a cleft the size of a canyon.

The sand that had been underneath the dense layer of ice and snow began to fall down, partially filling the bottom, which the bright light from the sun could barely reach. Under the pressure, the ice fell down, covering the new canyon with a layer of ice with hundreds of crystals resembling broken snowflakes.

"That's impossible..." Keira muttered with an outstretched hand before she fell, falling into the canyon behind her.

Frigus took a deep breath, exhaling a dense cloud of cold steam, and took a few steps forward. He watched the aftermath of his attack as his heart began to beat faster and his aura increased.

"Agh... How wonderful... I finally got to see the results of my countless training sessions... I didn't need a win, but a chance to vent all the endless hours I spent honing my skills somewhere..." Frigus muttered as a slight smile appeared on his face.

'Are you alright...?' Luna asked worriedly as the runes on his sword flashed several times, trying to get Frigus' attention.

Frigus was silent for a long time, he seemed to ignore Luna, which made her start to get nervous.

"Yeah... I feel great, I'd even say I've never felt better in my life. Thank you for staying with me until the very end. You were even willing to give all your energy to help me in my reckless decision, I really appreciate it." Frigus smiled bitterly as he looked down the canyon.

Luna wanted to say something, but a sudden burst of energy interrupted her since she couldn't find the words to describe her feelings.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

From Frigus began to emanate streams of frost that rushed upwards with hundreds of threads. Among the threads appeared crystalline snowflakes that, as if in a snowfall, spread across the entire Void, slowly falling down.

One of the snowflakes, fell directly onto Wain's palm, who was watching Frigus intently with a dazed expression the whole time.

"So fast... Before this fight, he was only at the beginning of his journey to reach the God Stage, but now he has already reached the next stage." Wain muttered as he glanced at the snowflake that, despite his high body temperature, was not about to melt, instead, a thin layer of ice appeared on his palm.

"Brrrrr! It's so cold! How much longer is this going to go on? I'm not sure I can take it much longer." Reto muttered, shivering and wrapping his arms around his body to keep warm.

The weaker the monsters were the more effective the freezing snowflakes had on them, so some monsters literally began to freeze.

At the same moment, all over the Void, regardless of the territory, pockets of fire began to appear, monsters with this attribute trying to help those who could not cope with the strong cold on their own.

The monsters joined each other, gathering in a group around those who could give them heat with a flame strong enough for everyone.

"Damn... I didn't think I'd have to do this, but the situation is really unusual..." Felix muttered as his ring glowed brightly. A bright crystal appeared in his hand, containing a powerful essence of the flame inside.

He tossed the crystal to the ground, releasing a bright red flame that immediately raised the temperature around it.

"Agh..." Reto exhaled in relief, coming closer to the fire, then he turned around, "Hey, Wain, come join us. Though it's unexpected, this ice works even for you. Do you really want to catch a cold? Hehehe..."

"Well, sometimes you say damn silly things. I can't remember the last time I was sick, with the energy coming in it's almost impossible... Though that cold creeps in from the inside, it brings back memories..." Wain muttered with a slight smile when part of his face was already covered in a thin crust of ice.

"I'm going to stay here. This is too important a moment for all of us to miss." Wain sighed.

Reto just shrugged. His main concern was to keep himself warm, so he didn't ask any more about it.

While Frigus's energy was increasing, almost all the monsters had already managed to cope with the problem of cold with the help of fiery hearths, however, there was one place where a fire had not yet appeared.

Among the misty lands, where after one of the most important battles were many ruined ruins, froze one girl. She was badly wounded, and the thick fur of Gaur's on which she lay could not protect her from the frost that was heading toward her from all sides.

From Nicole's scythe, a white aura emanated that covered her, trying to help her in some way, but it was obviously not enough.

'No, it's not enough, we need some source of heat, or something really bad could happen...' Erder muttered with complicated looks as he realized the gravity of the situation.

Step. Step. Step.

Several silhouettes with powerful auras emerged from the mist. There weren't many of them, just over ten since they were the strongest monsters in Nicole's territory.

"I'm sorry Miss, but we'll have to bother you now..." Blademonster muttered in a harsh voice as he glanced at the monster across from him.

They all approached Nicole, surrounding her, then the monster, whose body had veins through which white plasma flowed, ignited a bright flame that was perhaps the strongest in all of Void. This fire melted all the ice with ease, allowing Nicole to breathe a sigh of relief.

"How good..." Nicole whispered without waking up, as a smile of pleasure appeared on her face.

"Thank you..." Erder said, channeling her energy outward.

"Sure... After all, it's our responsibility... If it wasn't for her, we couldn't have become so strong..." Blademonster spoke with an appreciation that was shared by all the other monsters.
