ICE EMPEROR

TREACHERIES

The Aries Plain is a desert region

“Hiyaaaaa..” slashing monsters.

“Graaaaa..” off.

A young man turned his back on the monster he had already managed to kill using a very beautiful blue sword. His sky-blue eyes looked forward sharply. His snow-white mane that was blown by the wind added a handsome impression on his face. Such an athletic body and perfect for a teenager like him. The typical attire of an adventurer in a snow-white robe fluttering in the wind. His boots climbed into the desert, walking somewhere.His gaze was straight ahead with the sword he had put on his waist. He walked towards the mountain that looked high, a small smile began to form as he gradually approached the foot of the mountain. With a small murmur he said...

“I'm back..”

One year ago the Fairy Storm Guild

“Waaahhh fresh.. it is the best to drink beer after eradicating monsters yes.”.

“Hahahahahah.. it can feel a little more relaxed.”.

The atmosphere is so crowded in this room, a lot of adventurers who relax after carrying out a mission that is usually done by adventurers. Most of them are beginners who are just learning. But there are also those who have experience. Different types of people gather in a room full of stories.

“Excuse me..” a young man dressed as an adventurer is giving a report about the mission he has undertaken. Tidy black hair with black eyes that stared gently at the receptionist in front of him. If you look again he looks a little handsome, although many who say it cupu.

“As usual yes... Yugi.” Reply to a woman who takes care of the mission of adventurers. Her hair was long black to waist with black eyes like night, her body looking slender and sexy to female workers her age.

“That's..”.

My name is Yugi, a rookie adventurer who just enrolled in the guild a week ago. I was 16 years old and I was on a mission alone without a party. Sometimes it's hard to do it alone...

“Good... I'll check today's results.”.

The woman who spoke before me was sara, someone who was in charge of the administration of adventurers. Same age as me...

“Hm hm...” sara nodded at the results of the mission that yugi has run. “Good work...today's mission was a success yes.” Sara said with a smile looking at Yugi.

“Ya. Without a party it is very difficult to carry out the mission alone.” Complain Yugi while bowing his head tiredly.

“Besabar ya... surely there will be people who want to invite you. So don't be discouraged. [don't give up]. That's what you always say isn't.” Said Sara while encouraging Yugi.

“Hm of course... I will be the greatest adventurer.” Said Yugi with spirit.

“I can't wait to see it..” Sara smiled as she slightly tilted her head looking at Yugi who was back as cheerful as before.

Oh yes I tell you, since my level is still low, no one wants to recruit me into the party. Therefore I did the mission alone, of course, the mission level was commensurate with mine. In this world, everyone lives by their level. For those who are less fortunate, can only be a farm worker or trader. But for those with high levels and outstanding talent, of course a bright future awaits them.

And i'm...

“Haah... My level is still 10... when can I level up quickly. It is impossible to do a mission alone, I have to join the others, but is there anyone who wants to recruit me. Most adventurers in this city level above 20. Really sucks..” Yugi lowered his head on the table in a doldrums.

“Hey you're there..”

“Ah..” Yugi looked at a young man who called out to him from afar. Judging from wherever he was an adventurer, along with his party, the young man walked up to Yugi. “A-what's calling me?”

“Include, my name is Urgo. and my two friends are Sou and Ken. We want to recruit you into our party.. judging from your appearance you are still a beginner... surely still do not have a party right?” urgo's words made Yugi a little surprised, this was what he was waiting for.

“Iya I want... I want to join.” In his spirit Yugi answered Urgo's request.

“Yosh.. From now on you join us.” Urgo said with a smile.

“Iya yes..” Sou hugged Yugi happily, as did ken who hugged them from behind.

“Waaahhh..” Yugi was very happy, finally there were also those who recruited him into the party. This joy made him forget his past sorrow. And promised to be useful for this new party.

The next morning, Yugi waits in front of the gates of the city of Aries. They agreed to conduct a quest to defeat the horned snow wolf monster in the northern area near the eternal snow mountain. Although Yugi initially opposed it because there was a place where the monsters level above 30, it was said by Sara and advised Yugi not to take quests related to monsters in the north. But his new party friends kept pushing and they said [nothing will happen.] Well although many monsters are strong, but these friends have levels above 20s.

“Yo.. sorry to wait for long.” call the random black-blind unraveling adventurer with his black eyes and hands waving at Yugi, he is Urgo.

“Hehehehe.. sorry a little late.” Sou, with straight red hair and slightly black red eyes followed Urgo from behind.

“Hoaaamm Followed by Ken, with a ponytail blue mane and sleepy-looking sea blue eyes.

“Iya, it's okay.” reply Yugi with a happy smile, this is his first mission with his new party.

“Yosh... let's go.” Shouting urgo.

“Huooo...” shouted the others simultaneously.

In the middle of their journey through a very thick forest, overgrown with large trees. The one who leads Urgo, behind him Sou and Ken who are on the right and left of Urgo. While Yugi was at the very back while carrying a bag and all belong to his party members. Yugi began to think that he was only used as a carrier, but he dismissed all negative thoughts.

Before going to the northern mountains, Urgo gave Yugi the task of carrying their luggage. At first Yugi was a little surprised, but he accepted it with pleasure. Urgo said that it was like this that the novice adventurers debuted in the party. And Yugi believed him.

The longer this northern region gets colder, the road begins to be covered with snow. All the scenery there is only a vast expanse of snow, in front of them a towering mountain.

“Everything get ready, this is where the horned snow wolf lives, we receive a quest to retrieve its 5 horns. So be careful..” remind Urgo to each member.

Yugi also prepared with his sword that has been stretched forward, while continuing to carry their luggage all with a bag on his back.

“Grroooaaa..”.

A terrifying cry came from in front of them. It was clear that an eye was burning blue in the cold snow. Somehow it feels the air is getting decreased drastically, the storm gradually began to arrive.

“That's it.. the horned snow wolf.” Said Ken who was ready with his sword.

“Gha is impossible..” Sou could not believe seeing a group of 10-horned snow wolves before them.

Yugi looks panicked because he sees a group of animal monsters whose level is higher than him. Seen however this is impossible for Yugi. But he tried to be as calm as possible, because he was not alone now.

“Follow my instructions... Ken you go right, Sou you're the other side. And Yugi... stay behind and give us support when pressed.” Urgo orders to others.

“Sou shoot them from the side.” Shouting urgo.

“I know..” Sou aimed at one of the wolves with his arrow. “Prepare... Fire Arrows.” A fire arrow shot out and struck one wolf.

“Groooaa..” The wolf shouted and then died on the spot. The rest of the others started to spread out and attacked Sou quickly.

“Aircraft.” Sou ran towards the urgo and did a tos while saying. “Send the rest to you..”.

“Yes... Yugi, prepare..”.

“Siap.” On high alert, Yugi stared at the wolves intensely.

The urgo quickly swung its giant hammer to the ground and immediately the ground was sticking up and about 2 wolves.

“One is heading towards you Yugi.” Shouting urgo.

With a sword in his hand, Yugi put horses ready to attack. One powerful swing directed towards the wolf.

Tranks

But the wolf's claw held onto Yugi's sword. “Gawat..” quickly Yugi jumps back to keep his distance. ‘This will not benefit me, other than the level difference, the temperature in this environment is also too cold to bone piercing In the heart of Yugi cursed his ability which is still far from strong words.

“Giliranku..” Ken runs past Yugi and slashes the wolf in place of Yugi. “Wind Slash...” A wind slash split the two horned snow wolves.

“Grrraaaa..”.

Blaaarr...

One more wolf has urgo destroyed with his hammer. Everyone gathered and formed a formation, the remaining 5 wolves were left.

“They are too many.” Said Ken who was slightly shivering from the cold.

“I did not expect it to be this way..” firmly Urgo who is looking for a way to get out of this problem.

“We better run away, besides we have also completed the mission. 5 horns we have got.” Su Proposal.

“Hm alright... but how to divert those wolves?” Ask Urgo while analyzing the situation.

“I'll make an ice wall..” Yugi said.

“You sure?” ask Ken.

“Em..” Yugi nodded, he walked forward and spread out his hands. “After I make the ice wall, it's your turn to attack.”

“We understand...” reply Sou with a happy grin, as well as Urgo and Ken. Their expressions were like they were planning something.

“Ice wall...” three-meter-high ice wall formed in front of Yugi. “Now..”.

Wwuussshhh. (silence).

“Friends?” having no response from the others, Yugi looks back and finds no one. “Hey where are you? Don't joke..” said Yugi in a panic. “No way, what...they left me.” Yugi said in a soft tone with his head lowered.

“Groooaaarrr..”.

Meanwhile, the five wolves had broken through the walls of yugi's property, causing yugi to bounce due to the shock wave that was shot by the five wolves.

“Wire...the wall is destroyed.” Said Yugi in disbelief, he was frightened to see the five wolves looking at him with hungry gazes.

“I have to run..” Yugi ran without carrying anything, the previous bag he had brought had been handed over to the urgo, but he did not expect that he would be betrayed this soon. ‘What the hell, why did this happen to me. Why did they lie to me. Shit...’ His heart continues to churn between annoyance, anger, panic and fear. All Yugi thinks about is one, which is to save yourself.

Yugi was getting into the forest near the foot of the mountain, he was no longer able to run anymore, in front of him there was a very large cave. “There is a cave, I'd rather go in than be eaten by the wolves Yugi walked slowly into the mouth of the cave. “Better I made an ice wall to cover the mouth of this cave.” a high and not too thick ice wall covered the mouth of the cave.

“Hah hah huh..” Yugi gasps heavily with a heavy breath, it seems like Yugi's energy has already reached its limit. He was just a novice adventurer who was less experienced in dealing with powerful monsters. But his knowledge of monsters was quite extensive. His intelligence is indeed reliable, that is what he can do to cover his weaknesses. “Hopefully the snow-horned wolf monster did not know that I was in this cave. But I doubt I got away with it, because the wolf's smell was so sharp.” Yugi stared fixed cave, inside there is a road. Not wanting to stay silent, Yugi also took the initiative to go deeper into the cave. “There is a way, it may be connected to the exit of this cave.” slowly but surely, Yugi walks limply while remaining alert.

Krak krak krak krak pyaaarrrrr (a cracked and crushed wall)

The ice walls made by the yugi are destroyed by the wolf monsters, they smell Yugi and go inside. The sharp gaze of the wolf was thirsty for blood, the murderous aura of a level 30 monster could not be underestimated.

“Where is this actually? I'm tired..” Yugi sat in a cave with a little light, in front of him he could not see so clearly. ‘Why. My first party betrayed me so easily, from the beginning I suspected something was wrong. But I didn't expect it to be like this.’ Yugi is frightened, his mind is confused and cannot think clearly. Yugi thinks that he will die here, but will he just give up.

“Groooaaaaarrr.

Meanwhile the three people who betrayed Yugi ran over with contrived expressions of fear. They went inside the fairy storm and shouted. “Toloooonnggg..”

Everyone inside looked at the three people who were shouting earlier. Then roaring at Urgo and her friends with questioning faces, Sara who knew the three people immediately asked about Yugi, because Yugi tells Sara that he joined the Urgo party before leaving for a mission.

“You guys, what happened... Where is Yugi?” sara asked in a fearful tone nothing happened to Yugi.

“K-we originally did a mission in the northern area of the eternal iceberg to eradicate the horned snow wolf, at the end of our mission managed to eradicate the five wolf monsters. But..” Urgo lowered his head by hanging his words.

“But what... what happened? Where's Yugi?” sara asked in panic. ‘No, I beg you not.. O Lord, do not let my dream of all come true.’ Satin sara was worried. Sara had a dream last night that Yugi had fallen into a deep abyss and never returned. Sara was afraid that her dream would come true. Sara was afraid that Yugi would leave her for good, no, that should not happen. Sara was still waiting for an answer from Urgo with a sense of uneasiness.

“Yugi, he... For the sake of saving us, he made himself as bait to attract the attention of the monsters that somehow increased, then Urgo spoke in a contrived tone with a very great sorry expression, like a professional artist.

“Not...impossible... Yugi.” Sara walked backwards with both hands closing her mouth, her tears piling up in her eye bags. His feelings were mixed with sadness, pain and unbearable pain that fell on him. The person he loved so much, I don't know how he is now. In the north, there are a lot of very strong monsters. It makes Sara think that Yugi died eaten by monsters.

Brucks

Before long Sara fainted and made everyone panic. A woman who looked most panicked immediately approached Sara's body and shook her body. “Sara, Sara Sara Saraaaa.
