The Northlands magic sword was the most unique of my four magic swords.
Ice magic was the weakest of my four elemental powers, and the Northlands magic sword's design was also the simplest. In fact, it didn't even require too many materials.
"Since it's the Northlands' incarnation of ice magic sword, I only need the Northlands' endless ice and snow."
I admit that I was trying to save some time, but from a design standpoint, this seemingly cheap material was the most suitable.
"This time, it's a snowstorm …"
I reached out my hand, causing countless snowflakes to descend. A gentle snowstorm covered the entire land. The endless snowflakes seemed beautiful, but were actually incredibly fatal.
All fire creatures within the range of the snowstorm were affected by the low temperature and gradually lost their most basic lifeforce.
Meanwhile, a … large club made of ice crystals appeared in my hand.
That's right, this was a large ice crystal club that was more than two meters long. Judging from the model, it was obvious that the ogres would use it. The moment it appeared, it almost crushed me.
* Clang! *
However, under the fierce impact, cracks appeared all over the lava giant's body. It trembled and collapsed, returning to its elemental source.
This was already the third Ice Elemental Lord that I had hunted down. From a certain standpoint, this Myth-ranked weapon of ice was basically the natural enemy of fire elemental creatures.
Suddenly, the snow stopped. Next, a layer of white frost appeared on the ground, covering all life as water froze into ice. Life swiftly came to an end.
"Fire Wall!"
Fortunately, the silly cat on top of my head reacted quickly enough. She instantly ignited a wall of fire that dispelled the frost, allowing us to survive.
Meanwhile, the ogre ice crystal club in my hand transformed into a short sword that was less than half a meter long.
The ice crystal was transparent, and there seemed to be something hidden within it. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that there were cracks on the ice crystal. The cracks continued to expand until the entire ice blade completely shattered.
* Clang! *
This was the sound of a mirror shattering. All the ice and snow in the world disappeared with this sound as everything returned to the scorching land of fire.
"How many times has it been transformed?"
"The fourth time."
"At most four times? It's still far from completion. Also, are you unable to find a pattern to the natural disasters? "
"Didn't I already say that the Northlands' natural disasters have no pattern at all?"
"… If there's no pattern to speak of, what's your advantage? Is being killed by your own weapon something to brag about? "
"No, I'm confident that I can outlast my opponents in the Northern Reaches Natural Calamity."
Heloise opened her mouth, but in the end, she gave up on preaching.
The magic sword Northlands had always been an automatic method of summoning Calamity Armageddon to begin with. With Harloys' assistance, the details of the sword Northlands had been improved. However, the foundational design concept hadn't changed at all.
This sword's special effects were divided into two parts. The first part was to randomly create a natural disaster environment in the Northlands, forcefully transforming the environment into a polar battlefield. This was my personal domain that I was most proficient in. In a way, from a design standpoint, this magic sword was the best replacement for my Soul World.
Ice and Snow Calamity would change over time. Each time it changed, the original ice and snow mana would be extracted and reused, doubling the power of the original ice and snow mana. (Conservation's theoretical results)
The other reason was probably the only special privilege I had in this region, which was to randomly create an ice and snow weapon for me. The ice and snow weapon's power level was probably above that of an ordinary Myth-ranked weapon.
The only way to close this place was to destroy the ice crystal weapon that was the core of the natural disaster. No matter if it was me or the enemy, this was the only way out.
"This magic sword's special effect is to create an environment that's advantageous for me to fight to the death."
Simply speaking, this was like an arena of ice and snow. If the enemy didn't want to die to the endless ice and snow Calamity, they would have to try to kill me and destroy my weapon. Otherwise, they would sooner or later die to the ever-strengthening ice and snow Calamity.
And with the ice and snow Calamity, how much combat strength would the enemy be able to maintain? This would naturally greatly increase my chances of victory. This magic sword was the main function of my Soul World.
"… It's so rare to see a Myth-ranked weapon that's even capable of harming itself."
"Everyone is equal before the Ice and Snow Calamity. If one doesn't have this resolution, their power will be greatly reduced."
Soul Worlds also followed the most basic rules. The more privileged a Soul World was, the weaker it would be. This meant that the Soul World's creator lacked self-knowledge and self-confidence. Soul Worlds that were equal to both the enemy and me would typically be stronger.
This magic sword was still incomplete. Currently, I could only summon three types of Ice and Snow Calamities: Blizzard, Frost, and Hailstorm. Not only that, I could only change the Ice and Snow Calamities four times at most before it would collapse. I was still far from being a complete magic sword.
Previously, I had tried painting and ice sculpting in order to deepen my impression of the Ice and Snow Calamity so that I could replicate it in my Soul World.
This was also why I didn't need any high-level materials. The Ice and Snow Calamity was the Northlands to begin with. Only by using the Northlands' ice and snow as "paint" would my "oil painting" be more realistic and have more attack power.
Harloys's system of ice magic greatly increased my construction speed.
After combining ice magic with ice magic, the ice and snow weapons I created would be much more powerful. Although I would still often use comical weapons such as clubs and toy hammers, they would still be quite powerful.
The Ice and Snow Calamity Realm combined with Conservation's low-temperature energy circulation theory would gradually accumulate and increase the Ice and Snow Calamity's attack power. The Ice and Snow Calamity Realm was so powerful that even I found it difficult to withstand it.
"How long can you last if you go all out?"
"Judging from the current situation, it'll collapse in less than half an hour."
"That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking how long you're confident you can survive in the Ice and Snow Calamity Realm after your magic sword is completed."
"… You've already seen the most fatal part of the Ice and Snow Calamity Realm. The Ice and Snow Calamity's power is like a rolling snowball, and the constant low temperature will be fatal to me. If I can maintain this level of power, I'll definitely die within five hours. If I encounter the most fatal types of Ice and Snow Calamity at the very beginning, it's even possible for me to instantly die. "
"What a great suicidal weapon …"
"I won't deny it, but I'll do my best to survive longer than the Northlands' Ice and Snow Calamity Realm. After all, there's no one more experienced than me when it comes to dealing with the Northlands' Ice and Snow Calamity Realm. "
According to my design theory, I would need to create at least ten different types of Ice and Snow Calamity Realm, as well as solidify and increase the power of my ice weapons. All of this would require time and ice magic.
This was also why the Fire Elemental Lords had been having such bad luck recently. The Fire Elemental Lords' spoils of war had all become nourishment for my magic sword Northlands, which it devoured bit by bit. But judging from the current situation, it would still take some time before it could completely break through.
"That's quite fast already. You easily broke through to SemiGod."
"… Easily? Alright, don't glare at me. I know that compared to you, a 10,000-year-old Myth rank, breaking through to SemiGod is much easier. Right, Harloys, have you finished designing your Myth-ranked weapon? "
"Heh, take a guess."
I shook my head and gave up on this pointless guessing game. Harloys had accumulated far too much, and I had no idea what her choices would be.
I had rested enough and gathered ice in my hand. A new Ice and Snow Calamity was about to descend, causing the entire ground to shake. This time, I was challenging an avalanche!
"Little insect, Lasdere has found you! You actually dared to kill the Fire Elemental Lord's brother? You're dead meat! "
A lava giant came out of the ground, transforming the entire ground into a pool of lava. Ice and fire clashed once again.
Alright then, it would seem that the Ice and Snow Calamities I created weren't the first to arrive. There was no need to look for the Fire Elemental Lord anymore. He had come to me of his own volition.
