Chapter 64: The Dark Cell and Crimson Eyes
"You truly are an insolent brat, Selena Vance!" General Raymond Sterling snapped, his voice trembling violently.Inside the Main Command Tent—which had now lost all of its heating—the General sat hunched over in a leather chair with a thick blanket draped over his shoulders. His breath puffed out icy vapor, and his pale face strained against the bone-chilling cold.The complete failure of the main heating furnace caused all the high-ranking officers of the combat faction to lose face before their own subordinates. And amid the suffocating panic, Raymond needed someone to blame for his own incompetence.Selena stood tall in the center of the room, her white cloak lightly dusted with snow, yet her gaze remained sharp and piercing. She showed not a shred of fear despite being surrounded by ten fully armed elite soldiers."I am merely reporting the facts on the ground, General," Selena replied in a calm, icy tone. "The fortress's heating system didn't collapse because of the support facti
Chapter 63: The Illusion of the Frozen Shack
"Break down that rotten door right now!" Officer Bruno snapped, swinging his broadsword with all his might toward the wooden frame of Barracks E.SLAM!The heavy impact slammed against the outer wall of the shack, but instead of crashing into the warm room inside, Bruno's hands were deflected by an invisible barrier's recoil.Officer Bruno staggered back three steps, his eyes wide with shock.He rubbed his eyes, stinging from the blistering lash of the minus-seventy-five-degree blizzard.The scene before him abruptly transformed in the blink of an eye.The wooden shack that had previously radiated a golden glow and spring-like warmth had morphed into an old ruin encased in a meter-thick layer of ice.Its roof was caved in, its walls riddled with dead fractures, and not a single shred of life remained within.Barracks E looked like an empty, ice-bound tomb abandoned for years."O-Officer... what's happening?" whispered one of the elite soldiers behind Bruno, his teeth chattering violen
Chapter 62: Mythic Disaster and Elite Greed
"You can't just seize Barracks E whenever you feel like it!" Toby shouted, spreading his arms wide in front of Sector E's wooden gate.A roaring gale slammed into the fortress's outer barrier, making it rattle violently. The temperature plummeted at a terrifying rate, crashing past minus seventy-five degrees Celsius in seconds.Needle-sharp shards of ice pelted down from the pitch-black sky, piercing anything left out in the open.Crack! Crack!The fortress's iron perimeter posts fractured and shattered into pieces under the sting of the extreme cold.Selena Vance was forced back two steps. She tightened her white cloak, channeling her internal ice mana to compensate.Yet even the genius ice mage's mana bogged down, barely able to keep up with the raw fury of the 6th Floor's element."This isn't a normal blizzard anymore," Selena whispered, her breath turning directly into ice crystals in the air. "The Eternal Ice Storm... it's a Mythic-grade disaster that only occurs once every hundr
Chapter 61: A Slap on the Ice Field
"Grab your picks and drag those lower-caste corpses out of the barracks!" Officer Bruno bellowed, crossing his arms over his chest with a wide, sly grin. His heavy, triple-layered fur coat whipped violently in the bone-chilling dawn wind of the 6th Floor. Behind Bruno, fifty elite combat faction soldiers stood trembling, their faces pale as ghosts and their lips blue. They were forced to endure the extreme cold because the heating crystals in their Thermal Armor had completely run out since midnight. "They've probably been frozen stiff like ice statues since last night," Bruno chuckled, spitting into the snow. "Two hundred tons of ice blocks was the perfect death sentence for trash like them." A shallow arrogance that proved to be short-lived. SLAM! The heavy wooden door of Barracks E suddenly slammed wide open from the inside. Bruno narrowed his eyes, preparing to enjoy the sight of lower-caste students crying in despair or reduced to frozen corpses. But the sly grin on Bruno
Chapter 60: Kneeling for Warmth
"Hunt him down to the absolute ends of the 6th Floor! If you find him, flatten his shack to the ground!" Officer Bruno’s roaring order echoed through every corner of the main fortress's military headquarters. Yet the threat of that manhunt felt like a ridiculous joke in the face of the intensifying blizzard. Just two hours after the order was issued, the temperature outside plummeted past minus fifty degrees. The military's heating crystals ran completely dry, causing the elite soldiers' Thermal Armor to freeze stiff, turning into iron traps that froze their blood. The combat faction nobles no longer cared about manhunts or class pride. Their teeth chattered violently, their lips turned blue, and the mana in their bodies froze solid, leaving behind excruciating pain. In the darkest corner of the Dark Logistics Market, a figure draped in pitch-black robes sat relaxed atop a wooden crate. Austin-02—the Ghost Merchant—blew gently on a cup of hot herbal tea that radiated a faint gol
Chapter 59: Cosmic Pebble Throw
"Do you think lower-caste crumbs like you have the right to keep a talisman this good?!" Julian barked, pressing his blade deeper into Toby's neck. A drop of fresh blood trickled slowly down the skin of Toby's neck, freezing instantly upon contact with the bitter night cold of the 6th Floor. Though fear churned his stomach, Toby clung tightly to the cloth pouch filled with Thermal Talismans against his chest. The items in his arms were no ordinary heating devices. They were the sole factor standing between life and death for over a dozen of his companions in Barracks E who were freezing to death. "These belong to all the students of the support faction!" Toby shouted, his voice trembling yet firm with resolve. "I won't give them to an arrogant person like you!" Julian's face, pale from the biting cold, instantly flushed with surging rage. For a noble scion of the combat faction, being defied so bluntly by a lower-caste student was an intolerab
