Chapter 308: Law of Death
“Starting today, you will stay in this place for a full hour every day until your body can adapt to the cold here.”
Hearing Mr. Hermann-Rose’s words, Vivian’s body was still trembling, but she nodded very decisively.
After all, she had long been accustomed to—or rather, numb to—this kind of adaptive training in extreme environments.
Initially, before awakening the 【Cossina Snake】 bloodline, Vivian, who possessed the B-rank 【Flash Freeze】 talent,
Could only stay in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm for two or three hours.
Now, let alone two hours, Vivian could stay for several months.
Therefore, upon hearing any training instructions from Mr. Hermann-Rose, Vivian would follow them without fail. As long as it could make her stronger and prevent her from being left too far behind by Jia Na, she was willing to try every possibility to become stronger!
Even if there was a certain degree of Life danger, Vivian was fearless—
“That location is where the Law of Death is most vigorous in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm. I think it should meet your needs.”
Hearing this, Jia Na’s gaze also turned towards the place Mr. Hermann-Rose pointed to—a deathly area where even the ice and snow were pitch-black.
“Mr. Hermann, given my current state, will there be any danger if I step in there?”
“No, the temperature there is similar to here. Besides being contaminated by the power of the 【Law of Death】, there are no other special features—and that level of death aura won’t affect you.”
After receiving Mr. Hermann-Rose's assurance, Jia Na also felt slightly relieved.
“By my will, I command you, summon—Flame Guard.”
“By my will, I command you, summon—Celestial Sparrow.”
Accompanied by two flashes of light, the shivering Celestial Sparrow and the Flame Guard, whose flames were significantly smaller, appeared by Jia Na's side.
“Ma—Master, where is this?”
The Celestial Sparrow, which hadn’t been summoned by Jia Na for several days, was quite looking forward to it the moment it received the summon command. However, upon sensing the extreme cold environment around it that could freeze it into an ice sculpture, the Celestial Sparrow's first reaction was to huddle next to Jia Na and tightly hug its small wings.
“We are currently at the border of the 【Netherworld】. In a moment, I will step into the place with the densest death aura.” If I experience any abnormal situation, you will immediately cast 【Divine Fire】 on me.”
“U-Understood.”
Although it didn't know what Jia Na was going to do, the Celestial Sparrow, whose consciousness was almost frozen stiff by the extremely low temperature here, no longer had the mind to think about anything else.
“Yan Yade, stay closer to us.”
The Flame Guard, also shivering from the cold, floated to Jia Na's side with considerable difficulty upon hearing her command, and then used the flames on its body as much as possible to warm the person and the bird.
“It seems Yan Yade can't hold on for too long either.”
Jia Na, who could clearly sense the Flame Guard's magic power rapidly decreasing, couldn't care less about anything else. While quickly using the Flame Guard's temperature to thaw herself, she also began to slowly approach that inky-black area.
“Jia Na, what are you going to do?”
Because Jia Na's communication with Mr. Hermann-Rose was entirely through sound transmission, Vivian still didn't know the purpose of Jia Na following her to the bottom of the canyon until now.
Therefore, Vivian, who was also resisting the surrounding extreme cold power in place, couldn't help but transmit a question to Jia Na when she sensed that Jia Na was moving towards the obviously problematic area not far away.
“I am going to comprehend the power of the 【Law】.”
“Here?”
Hearing Jia Na's answer, Vivian's eyes, filled with whites, couldn't help but show confusion.
At the bottom of this vast canyon, besides the endless ice and snow and the dense death aura, Vivian didn't see any Law power related to the "Natural Domain."
Could it really be the power of death?
The power of the extreme cold constantly invaded Vivian's body, causing her thoughts to begin to solidify like rusted gears,
Gradually solidifying—as if sealed by the surrounding Frost.
“Vivian, don't be distracted.”
Just as Vivian felt her consciousness gradually freezing, suddenly, Mr. Hermann-Rose's voice, at the right time, sounded in her mind.
“Father—”
Reminded, Vivian no longer distracted herself, but focused wholeheartedly on resisting the extreme cold power, trying to keep her consciousness clear..
At the same time, as Jia Na on the other side officially stepped into the area surrounded by death aura, in an instant, a sense of trembling, as if from the soul, caused Jia Na's mind to go blank for a moment.
“Master!”
Buzz—Just as Jia Na's body began to tremble violently, the Celestial Sparrow, which was originally standing on Jia Na's shoulder, rapidly grew from its "parrot form," and spat out a white-gold flame, encircling Jia Na's body and quickly dispelling the death aura.
“Stop, Afu—”
Under the expulsion of the 【Divine Fire】, Jia Na could clearly feel the surrounding death aura gradually decreasing, while the extreme cold power, which had been firmly suppressed, was constantly increasing.
After a while, the inky-black cold ice turned white again, and even the surrounding temperature was gradually rising.
“Death and cold, are they also in a hostile relationship—”
Watching the two forces constantly clashing, Jia Na on the side couldn't help but frown.
Jia Na had always thought that the Frost power in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm and the Law of Death power in the 【Netherworld】 were a balanced and equal relationship.
Because Mr. Hermann-Rose had once said: The boundary between death and Frost, besides having the most extreme cold, also has the power to make Life wither.
Therefore, Jia Na also took it for granted that when these two forces reached a certain balance point, the power of Withering would be born, but...
Looking at the two forces still entangled before her eyes, Jia Na's mood couldn't help but become irritable.
“Master, I can’t hold on much longer—”
Just as Jia Na was still struggling with the balance point of the two forces, the Celestial Sparrow on the side was already in a "dying" state.
“Sorry, you two go back first.”
Not only the Celestial Sparrow, but also the Flame Guard, which was also acting as a heater, was in a half-dead state at this moment.
Seeing this, Jia Na no longer dragged them down, waved her hand, and sent them both back to the Spirit World.
“Indeed, in this extreme environment, without the help of top-tier magic tools like the 【Sun Badge】, even elemental creatures can't last too long—”
