Perspective: Blanche Snowmont
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Today is really strange. Besides hearing strange sounds all the time, I can also hear screams.
Have I been alone for too long and started hallucinating?
With that thought in mind, I picked up my teacup and was about to continue drinking when I heard a loud noise and the entire floor shook!
Oh my, what is happening today?
I looked around and noticed that there seemed to be some white mist floating above the edge of the island.
Could something have fallen from above? Are those the land dragons from the labyrinth?
I took out my bow, which I hadn't used in a long while, and ran towards the direction where the smoke was rising.

"I see, it has been 665 years already? Time really flies."
After listening to their words, I replied with a smile.
But deep inside, my heart trembled.
665 years... I never expected that when I tried to block the crack in the ice out of recklessness, I ended up sealing myself for over 600 years.
I truly am a fool to have done such a thing.
However, these two... They look similar to me. Did they also challenge the Ice Abyss, the strongest ice flames? Is this what they call like attracts like?
Over 600 years... Even though my body has been sealed in ice, it can only maintain its form, right? If the seal truly breaks, it will...
Forget it, this must be fate.
After taking a sip of tea and looking at the two glaring at each other in front of me, I felt that my heart was slightly less painful.
Indeed, it's better to be with other people~
---------------Phase 2 Separator---------------
"Ah!"
With a flash of white light, after seeing the scenery outside, I knew that we had escaped the seal.
After falling heavily to the ground, I slowly felt the sensation – the kind of coldness only felt by the flesh.
"We've come out..."
The girl named Aliyah said like this.
I nodded and then looked around, seeing dozens of pairs of eyes staring at us.
"Snow White... has returned?"
One of the old men said with a trembling voice.
"Goodness, I clearly dislike that name..."
Before I could finish, a girl with a similar figure to Aliyah quickly ran up to me and stared at me, asking.
"What about Fir? Has Fir not returned?"
Judging from her attire, she should be someone from the royal family. Why would she... Oh, could it be that guy Fir...
As I was thinking that, I suddenly felt my body becoming lighter bit by bit.
I looked at my arms and saw cracks slowly appearing on them. Tiny ice elements were slowly detaching from my body, causing my body to crumble.
Just as expected, huh? But the speed of this deterioration is faster than I thought. I had expected to at least have a few more hours to see this world...
"Snow White, you..."
The other person pointed at my hand and exclaimed.
"Don't call me Snow White, I'm called Blanche Snowmont!"
"Ah... Alright."
The girl paused for a moment, then replied.
"Then... Miss Snowmont, were you rescued by Fir?"
"Yes, thanks to that guy, I could come out and see what the Ais Empire is like before dying."
I slowly stood up, but each joint in my body felt like it was filled with countless pieces of lead, making movement extremely difficult.
"But it seems like the condition of my body is worse than I imagined."
"Please hold on a little longer, Lady Snowmont. The magic container will arrive soon. Once you enter it..."
The old man beside me hurriedly walked over and said.
He looks... like someone I saw a long time ago, but there shouldn't be any humans who survived for over 600 years, right?
He's probably his descendant.
"No!"
I protested loudly.
"I have been trapped in this seal for over 600 years and it has driven me nearly insane! Are you joking with me by wanting to keep me alive in the coffin you developed!?""Well... we'll just temporarily put it aside for now, and then we'll make some modifications to your body."
"Modifications?"
I sneered and looked at him.
"People nowadays are so afraid of death, aren't they? I didn't remember your identity earlier, but since you mentioned body modifications, I remember now. You're Ye Weiyang, right?"
"Uh... I must say, you're quite the outstanding snow elf. I didn't expect that after all this time, you would still recognize me."
Ye Weiyang forced a smile and continued speaking.
"But actually, isn't body modification a technology that your elves started first? After all, you are the ones who are unsatisfied even after a thousand years..."
"Alright, arguing about this with you is pointless. I absolutely will not use this ice coffin."
A heavy object being pushed sounded, and I turned my head to look...
"I was just joking about it being an ice coffin, but I didn't expect it to actually be a coffin."
A pure white ice coffin was being pushed out. This design...
It's definitely the kind that my kind likes, showy but impractical.
Actually, this thing has been perfected a long time ago, right? The annual updates are just to make it look more glamorous.
Really, couldn't those assholes spend their time developing something more useful?
"This is the latest masterpiece of elven technology. I thought you would really like it."
"Hmph!"
I shook my head and took out my pendant from my pocket.
"I don't want to become something that relies on disgusting components and others' lives to survive, even if it means becoming an immortal being!"
After saying that, I pressed the button on the necklace.
A grey light flashed, and my body instantly collapsed in an instant! Through the medium of the necklace, I turned into a soul floating in the air.
"Soul fluctuation? That thing was actually in your body? No wonder we couldn't find it for hundreds of years, it was on you all along!"
"That was expected, otherwise you would have taken it away a long time ago. Alright, enough chitchat, I'm leaving."
Then I turned to the side.
"Girl, what's your name...?"
"Me? I'm Michelle Avrungis."
"I see."
I smiled.
"Fir is interesting, I will do my best to protect him, so lend him to me for now~"
"Huh?"
Leaving Michelle in a bewildered state, I flew directly to the side of the ice crack.
"I know I can't escape from this altar, but I also have no intention to escape... See you in hell."

"Oh my God..."
I looked at my slightly darker skin on my arm and exclaimed.
"So this is what it's like to become an undead. The sensory abilities of the body weaken, which is not a good thing for an archer."
Then I turned around and looked at the ice block beside me.
"Huh? Isn't this my face? How could this be?"
"The body is just a vessel, the soul is the noumenon of life. Haven't you heard this saying, girl?"
The fairy next to me responded like this, then looked me up and down.
"Well, elves are really good. The compatibility of your soul is quite good. You adapted to it so quickly, and you even have that mysterious soul fluctuation. It would be strange if you didn't succeed."
"Is that so..."
I looked at the pendant in my hand and forced a bitter smile.
"Keep going."
I threw the pendant towards Fir.
"Hey hey, don't throw around something valuable like that."
"I'm giving it to you, for the sake of your survival. You should thank me."
"Survival..."
Fir looked at the pendant, then paused for a moment.
"Then I'll gladly accept it."
"Alright."
I nodded with a smile.
I really don't understand, is Fir a good person or a bad person?
If he's a good person, why does he carry around a fresh corpse and chat so enthusiastically with the dark fairy?
But if he's a bad person... that's impossible. This guy definitely can't be a bad person. If he were, he would have been killed by others a long time ago, like this idiot.I really can't understand you...
"So where are we going next? Abyss or Hell?"
I continued to ask.
"Well, of course it's..."
The other person smiled.
"Just take it one step at a time!"
Hehe, whether he's a bad person or a good person doesn't matter at all, what matters is, this guy is really interesting.
