Chapter 16: The Frost Abyss Maze: The Deepest - Frost City
update icon Updated at 2025/5/17 3:10:12

"The fourth demonic god of death, 'Black Frost', who leads the abyss into darkness, your humble servant calls upon you to open your domain and lead us into your embrace. Open, Abyss of Ice."

The dark fairy chanted a strange incantation, and soon, a deep blue light emerged from the air crack emitting cold air.

Countless black characters floated out of it, rotating around the center of the crack. Numerous black lightning flashed and danced within the characters, gradually forming a giant black magic array.

Then, a strong impact emanated from the magic array, turning it into a rotating portal.

Why did I know this was a portal? It just looked like one. First of all, it's an entrance, and the shape... it's exactly what a portal looks like in a game.

Ugh... how unoriginal.

Notice: About to teleport directly to the bottom floor of the Ice Point Abyss Maze, Status: Neutral Zone

Seeing the information on the prompt board, I smiled.

"Alright, the gate has been opened, let's go."

The dark elf said, leading the way into the portal.

"How are you feeling, Miss Snow Monstet?"

I asked Snow Monster Miss.

"It's alright. I feel okay. It's just that my senses seem to have decreased a lot. It will take a long time for me as an archer to regain my original abilities."

"Speaking of which, undead bodies have this effect, like zombies and such."

"Yeah, but as the purest elf, it's ironic that I ended up becoming an undead."

"Just a minor issue. In my eyes, you are still a snow elf."

That's the truth. Miss Snow Monster's title only added the name 'Undead Elf,' but the original title of Snow Elf didn't disappear.

Moreover, there were parentheses with the word '(Alvin)' above the opponent's name. I really didn't understand what was going on with the system.

"Is that so... Hahaha, then I am the darkest-skinned snow elf."

"Wheat-colored skin is nice. I quite like healthy girls... Ah, I didn't mean it that way. I was just generalizing!"

Oops, I almost revealed my love for athletic and clumsy hobbies.

"Hahaha."

Miss Snow Monstet laughed heartily.

"If you didn't have a girlfriend, I might have made a move."

"Girlfriend?"

What is this guy talking about? I haven't had that kind of thing in several lifetimes... well, if you really have to say, I do have a fiancée.

"... I see. I see now... Well, it's quite interesting."

The other party suddenly said something strange.

"Well... keep it that way. Alright, let's go."

"Ah, okay..."

This guy, why do I suddenly feel a...

Dangerous aura.

-----------------------------------Portal Divider-----------------------------------

"Is this... the Abyss?"

I suddenly couldn't wrap my head around it.

As soon as I entered the Abyss, I had an overwhelming desire to flip the table.

What's this joke? This is the Abyss? Is the current Demon Lord from our world?!!!!

"Uncle Orlando..."

"Don't call me uncle! I'm not that old yet!"

Huh? Are you joking with me? You're not that old? Clearly, you've been watching Snow Monstet for over 600 years, so you should be much older than her!

How old am I?! I'm on a completely different level than you guys!

"Alright, Orlando..."

"That's too impolite! Call me Big Brother Orlando!"

...

Hey, hey, hey, you're at least 665 years older than me, there's no need for that, right?

But, never mind. There's no point in arguing with these magical creatures about this.

"Okay, Big Brother Orlando, I have a question. Why does the Demon Realm... look so modern?"

Yes, the term "modern" completely sums up the scene I'm currently seeing.

We are now in what appears to be a square, with a portal behind us. Occasionally, creatures would walk out from it.And on the side, countless tall buildings and crowds of people...wait, no, I mean, not people, but Warcraft. I won't go into specifics, like fairies, goblins, fox spirits, bird people, demon people, half-beast people. Just looking at them gives a Halloween vibe.

But the focus is on those tall buildings! Tall buildings! Is this a joke? How did you manage to get the recipe for reinforced concrete? Where did the bricks come from? Shouldn't the abyss be like a hellish wasteland with lava flowing all over the place?

The reason I feel like I haven't walked onto a movie set is because we're not seeing cars on the road, but horse carriages!

If Aliyah were to come here, she'd definitely be shocked. This isn't just magical, it's beyond science!

And the sky is black, occasionally with a lightning bolt flashing. That's the only reason I feel like this is the abyss.

"Modernization? Oh right, the Demon Lord used this word to describe it. You know, the abyss didn't look like this decades ago. But when the new Demon Lord took office, he issued a order to force the abyss into this so-called 'modernization'. Isn't this your first time coming to the abyss? How did you know?"

"...Well, maybe it's because I might know your Demon Lord."

Um, maybe I shouldn't mention that we're from a different world?

"What!? You..."

"I'm not sure either, so you don't have to guess. Anyway, what do we do first?"

"Um...let me think. You're an Undead Holy Angel, belonging to a minority group..."

"Hey hey hey, where did you get that term 'minority group' from?"

I immediately retorted before he could finish his sentence.

"Oh, so you know about that term, too. It's one of the new laws issued by the current Demon Lord, saying that we should protect the rights of some small populations and maintain species diversity. The Demon Lord is the Demon Lord, knows a lot, huh."

"Hahaha...yeah..."

That guy really sees you all as animals! Maintaining species diversity and all that!

And talking about minority groups...this guy doesn't need to go to such lengths just to kill time...

"Alright, let's not talk about that. You, who just became an Undead, and you, an Undead Holy Angel who has lived for who knows how long but has never been to the abyss, no matter what, let's go get an ID card first."

"..."

My mouth twitched.

"I hope this ID card can at least be used for buses or subways."

"Buses? Subways?"

Orlando looked at me strangely.

"You mean the underground dragon taxi? Yes, it can, because the ID card also has an identity crystal on it."

"...Alright, I knew it."

I really want to collect patent fees on behalf of all humanity.

"That sounds great! Let's go, let's go!"

Miss Snow Monster on the side was very excited, her eyes shining as she looked around.

"Alright, fine."

I sighed and asked the Dark Fairy.

"Let's go. But...I have to ask, even if you have too much free time, you shouldn't go out of your way to help us. What are you hiding from me?"

"Well...since you've asked, I shouldn't hide it anymore. Before we go get the ID card, let's find a place to talk properly. After all, this isn't the place for conversation."

"No problem."

"The chain coffee shop opened by His Majesty the Demon Lord is pretty good, let's go there."

"..."

I nodded, but in my heart, I was thinking.

Where the hell did you get the coffee beans from?

---------------------------------------------Today's chapter is quite long, dividing line----------------------------------

Looking at the coffee in front of me, I suddenly felt foolish.

This was a world of magic, after all. They even have healing potions, let alone coffee.

It looked and smelled exactly the same, but how was it made?

And it made me feel so energized...does it contain ingredients for making stimulants?

"Not bad, this was made using the method provided by His Majesty. It quickly became popular among the demon race."

"...I see, hahaha..."

I have no idea who you are, Demon Lord, but I must admit, you win.

"Alright, tell me, what do you want from me...""Of course, it's to get a more powerful assistant!"

The other person smiled.

"I knew it, but we're not as strong as you think."

"That's because you were on the human continent before, so as an undead holy angel, you couldn't unleash your full potential. However... the undead holy angels are one of the strongest races in the demon realm. As long as you find your kind and seek help, I believe you'll soon become a strong force."

"I see, I understand."

I nodded, so he will help me find other undead holy angels?

That's great, it would be nice if I could learn racial skills in addition to magic!

"That's not a problem, I don't mind. Miss SnowMonster, what about you?"

"Me? I don't mind, this cake is quite delicious. Would you like a piece?"

"Um... you can have it yourself."

Watching the girl next to me enjoying her meal happily, I shook my head helplessly and then looked at Orlando.

"Well, I have one more question now."

"Oh, what is it?"

"The name of the Demon King... what is it?"

"Oh, about that... it's normal that you don't know. The current Demon King rose to power through slaughter and is called Bick Lucifer."

Damn, have you watched too much Dragon Ball? Calling him Bick the Great Demon King!
