The Ymir race, who live in the far north, are the frost giants. They have the responsibility of guarding the calamity of extreme cold and maintaining, repairing, and passing on any seals that may be damaged.
The dwarves who live further away are responsible for logistics... and they also need to constantly train to make their race stronger, so that one day they can work with the frost giants to completely eliminate the calamity.
However, after the Age of Gods, a fierce conflict broke out between the dwarves and the frost giants... At that time, the king of the dwarves and the king of the frost giants fought a physical war that lasted for ten days and ten nights.
That was the War of the Kings, and after the Dwarf King's victory marked the end of the battle, the Ymirs gradually became extinct... and the matter of the seal was gradually forgotten over time.
The interruption of tradition has always accompanied this world. The dwarves forgot the War of the Kings, forgot the Calamity, forgot the Seal, even though they are an immortal race.
"Eight years...the Beast of Zero Degrees..."
As he pondered this, flying over the sea with Ernie, he thought about the contents of the stone tablet and said, "Zero degrees... it can't just be 'zero degrees,' can it?"
After all, even the current temperature is definitely below 0°C.
However, Ernie didn't understand what Ira meant. She said her own opinion: "The Beast of Zero may not necessarily be a specific magical beast or wild animal... it could also be a monster in the concept of monsters."
Ernie, who was saying this, pondered something and said, "However, according to Vereesa, the world will probably not be destroyed in the eighth year... it should be in the ninth year."
Yes, the calamity called "Zero Degree Cold" will become more severe and dangerous each year, and then in the eighth year, the cold will reach its peak... Then, when it comes for the ninth time, even the World Tree itself will not be able to withstand that cold.
Subsequently, all nine planes vanished along with them.
"..."
During the silent flight, Ernie spoke first, saying, "If we're talking about [Warcraft], and then considering the calamity... it's very possible that I know some clues."
As Ernie spoke, under Illa's gaze, she simply said, "Most outsiders actually know about the [Evil God Scroll] and the [Hunter Team]... However, very few outsiders actually went to help resist them."
"A god born of betrayal, a god who turned away from the gods, an evil god..."
Before Ernie could finish speaking, Illa interrupted her, saying, "The only god who can be confirmed to be no longer active—the evil god Darkfisher? Is that right?"
Surprisingly, Yinla knew about the evil god, which made things much easier to explain...
"Yes, the Goddess of the Dark Rift, after turning her back on the gods, went alone to a demiplane..."
As Ernie spoke, recalling the hunting party, she said, "It originated from the evil god, that follower of a demiplane, who went mad when the evil god died and began to frantically march towards the prime plane."
"And those crazed evil god followers were blocked in the demiplane by the hunting team led by Lunwai... If the 'calamity' refers to a cataclysmic disaster, then the evil god followers might be one of them."
As they spoke, Ernie and Ira could already see the land... The moment they reached the land, the blizzard abruptly stopped, as if the boundary between the sea and the land was also the boundary of the storm.
Illa and Ernie both looked behind them in surprise. On the sea behind them was the huge, omnipresent blizzard they had just experienced... but there was nothing on the land.
There are only continuous snow-capped mountains, and beautiful icebergs and glaciers.
So beautiful...
This place is like a kingdom of ice and snow, where all you can see is white and blue—a world that would definitely cause snow blindness if you looked at it too much… but that doesn’t detract from its beauty.
"The closer we get to the north, the heavier the wind and snow should be, but here it's so quiet."
As Yinla spoke, he recounted the blizzard he and Ernie had experienced before setting foot on this land, which had almost completely obscured their vision... it was an absurd storm of that magnitude.
Perhaps because the previous blizzard was so noisy, it seems very quiet now, even silent... In the absolute silence, one can feel a sense of peace.
"The abnormal Mana is very close, somewhere on this land..."
As he said this, Inra removed the shield that had been enveloping Ernie and the area around him.
And then in the next instant...
...
The bone-chilling cold first seeped into the legs of Inra and Ernie from beneath them, directly from the ground... Then, an omnipresent, extreme cold enveloped them tightly.
"Crackling sound~"
Almost instantly, Ernie's legs were forced to turn into stone that had lost its heat... Lava, after cooling, will form a stone-like shape.
Yinla's legs followed closely behind, and the tiny water droplets that naturally form on a person's skin froze into ice flowers in that instant... It looked like a layer of ice, gradually spreading from Yinla's legs to his entire body.
"!"
!
"!"
!
In their horror, the scarlet mana and the lava-red mana appeared at the same moment, enveloping the two of them tightly once again... but the chilling sensation, like a bone-deep infection, had already invaded their bodies.
