The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 662 - 344: Power of Winter

"Boom!"

The pitch-black night sky was illuminated by flashes of lightning.

Thunder echoed across the entire sea domain.

Bolts of lightning seemed to want to split the sky as they fell, bringing the most primitive fear over the vast, deep sea.

A giant ship sailed on the sea.

The surging waves hardly affected the enormous ship, not even able to hinder its progress.

The surface of the whole ship was marked with magical patterns, and some originally hidden metal structures were protruding.

With the lightning strikes, the concentration of magic power in the air was gradually becoming chaotic, with currents occasionally flickering out of nowhere.

Another loud crash resounded.

A massive flash of light struck directly at the ship.

The whole gigantic ship was lit up brightly but remained undamaged, as the lightning was guided to the sea by a special structure.

Part of the energy was directed into the ship.

"It seems you’ve planned all this out," Bobo said, sitting in the ship’s cabin lounge.

Kana flipped through the book in his hand and nodded slightly.

"Of course, otherwise how could I have the confidence to let you guys take this shortcut route?"

On the other side, Alicia was looking at the sea chart on the table.

"According to the chart, we should have reached the western sea area of the Tate Continent.

Right here, Thunder Marsh Sea, one of the barriers preventing ships from heading north.

Go further ahead and it’s the Sea of Winter, where crossing it leads to the Desperate Whirlpool you can’t overcome. The whirlpool is so massive it seems to devour the whole world, sinking any ship attempting to cross this area into the deep sea."

She spoke while looking at Kana.

Kana didn’t lift his head, just shrugged slightly.

"Don’t worry, would I gamble with my own life on such a joke?"

...

In a few days, the ship reached the Sea of Winter.

The temperature dropped sharply.

Icebergs emerged on the sea, occasionally floating past the ship.

Some giant icebergs stood on the sea, requiring navigation around.

In the sky, thick snowflakes never seemed to stop falling.

Kana wore a heavy winter coat, standing on the deck.

Looking at the floating Frost Lord beside him.

"Can the power of this sword make the sky snow to lower the temperature, then can it also stop the snowy weather?"

Kana asked from beside.

Upon hearing this question, Alyris, standing behind Kana, silently shook her head: "Can’t tell, but after all, it’s just a weapon... But a dragon is hidden inside, so it can’t be viewed in ordinary terms."

"Let’s try it then."

Kana said and promptly gripped the handle, drawing the blade from its sheath.

The icy power rapidly enveloped the blade with a thick layer of frost upon contact with the outside weather.

The power of the blade visibly grew stronger.

Raising the huge sword towards the sky.

The blade’s power began to emit.

Kana closed his eyes, carefully guiding it.

Lowering the temperature almost didn’t require much manipulation from Kana, as thinking about supplying magic power was enough.

But reversing the control needed Kana to slowly adapt.

Fortunately, this function did not seem very difficult.

The snowflakes where eyes could reach visibly thinned, turning from thick snowflakes into light ones.

Then completely disappeared, and the temperature rose slightly.

All this only cost Kana 5 points of magic power.

"Feasible, but difficult, and not very meaningful."

Saying so, Kana swung the sword blade toward the distance.

A chilly breeze shot out, skimming the sea surface, raising spray. And the spray raised was instantly frozen in midair.

As the cold air flew out, a scar-like mark appeared on the sea surface, with the surrounding "scar" frozen in ice.

Waves crashed above, knocking out some ice shards.

The surrounding air suddenly dropped sharply.

Thick snowflakes fell again from the sky, even worse than before, and a blizzard began to blow.

Looking at the impact of his casual swing.

Kana silently turned his head, glancing at the sword in his hand.

I underestimated it a bit.

This power slightly exceeded my expectations.

"It’s just like a miracle," Alyris couldn’t help but said.

She knew clearly that Kana did not possess such ability; he never showed expertise in freezing.

So unquestionably, this was the credit of the sword blade.

They had already thought quite highly of the sword blade’s power in their hearts.

But when Alyris saw Kana simply swinging a blow and causing such a change, she couldn’t help being surprised.

Even Kana himself was surprised.

"The weather here amplifies it too much."

This was the simple conclusion Kana reached after a quick inspection; the environment here provided too much amplification.

Making every simple swing from Kana able to cause exaggerated damage.

Just as Kana was thinking of swinging another strike.

The deck was covered by a magical barrier.

The outside snowstorm was completely blocked.

The captain’s broadcast sounded from the ship.

"Blizzard detected, the deck will be closed, please remain indoors unless necessary."

Kana awkwardly sheathed the sword.

"Let’s go inside."

...

In a cave somewhere unknown.

A rumbling sound could be heard.

Like something huge was moving.

Suddenly, the rumble stopped.

In the darkness of the cave, only two giant lantern-like eyes could be seen.

The enormous gaze revealed confusion.

"Such familiar waves... Is this, Bisgen? Is he still alive?"

A puzzled voice emerged.

After a while, another rumbling sound resounded; the huge shadow in the cave shifted. Soon it left the cave, flapping its wings and flying high, heading to an unknown destination.

Meanwhile, the ship on the icy sea was still slowly sailing.

Until it completely passed through the Sea of Winter.

In front of them lay the Desperate Whirlpool.

In this area, the legend’s whirlpool was not just one but scattered across the sea. And these whirlpools occasionally dissipate and then reappear, making it impossible to guard against.

Passing through this sea area depended entirely on luck, and the odds were extremely slim.

It was these constant obstacles that completely cut off the route from this sea area to other places.

And now, the Night Watcher was going to pass through here.

Kana looked at the sea chart.

Relying on the memory in his mind, he pointed out a route for the ship’s direction.

"Head this way, we should encounter an island, an island not on the chart; that will be the key to crossing this sea area."
