The Magic Of Skill

Chapter 6's

I courageously faced the King and spoke with him four eyes. In a special room that the King provides, where the window is tightly closed but the sunlight enters easily. A female servant was standing near me, waiting for orders from us.

“What important talks are going on in your head? Is this the problem of Lennef hugging you in your sleep? Never mind, he has been like that since childhood.” The king began the conversation by discussing things that are in fact not comparable to what he wants to do.

“No, no, this is something more important,” while listening to me talk, the King stuffed a few blocks of sugar into the teacup the waiter had prepared a few minutes ago. “It's about the eternal iceberg. Lennef didn't say much, do you know anything about the mountain?”

“Oh, sure. This kingdom, the Raverine Kingdom, was mining on that mountain. Although it is no longer.”

“Mining?”

“Yes, a year ago, a group of adventurers found a golden chunk as big as an apple in the avalanche of the mountain. They reported it to the kingdom and we isolated it.” The king hung his sentence by drinking his tea.

“Why should it be isolated?” manya curious.

“It's a matter of interest, and law. Many people are interested in the gold mine and mining there. I am not forbidding them to get rich, but the area is very dangerous because of frequent landslides. Even until now I did not dare to tell my men to look for a lump there, but still there are fools mining there.”

“So... So the mountain is a gold mine?”

“Ya, gold mine death.” The king stared intently at me, then asked, “Why are you interested in this? Don't tell me you also want to mine there?”

“No, certainly not! It's just, I'm not a cold-resistant person. Lennef said the mountain didn't make the city cold, did it? Then why do I feel cold every night?”

“Hmm.. it is true that cold air began to occur since a year ago, coinciding with the discovery of gold it.”

“Your Majesty, that's the case, I doubt this is just a coincidence. Can I investigate that mountain?”

The king was surprised, as were the servants who faithfully waited for orders from us. Not understanding what I was talking about, the King raised his eyebrows. “For what? What are you gonna do there?”

“If I can I want to restore the condition of the mountain, if possible. How?”

The king thought for a moment. What I will do will certainly not benefit the kingdom, but harm also will not. But honestly, I wouldn't want to spend my winter cold in a blanket.

What the king is thinking about right now is the safety of his son's fiancee, “How do you go there? The Eastern border is not far, but the slopes of the mountain are often landslides.”

“What did you forget? I have Dimension Teleport skill, moving up the mountain is not a difficult thing.” I said.

The king scratched his head in response to the stubbornness of my head. “Yes already, if that's what you want.”

“Thank you, I'll leave now.”

“Wait, wait! Before that, touch me first!” bargain the king to me.

I who wanted to directly move to the Eastern Border obviously felt surprised by the king's offer of gold. Quine told me how powerful the king is, and he offered me his powers? “Do you understand what you are talking about?”

“Sure. I have a magic called Resurrection, use it to resurrect the corpse you found.” The king said that while sticking out his hand.

I with a hint of doubt accepted that hand.

And of course, the power of the king flows in my blood.

***

An expedition to investigate the eternal iceberg begins. My primary mission was to find the source of the cold that kept the city cool, but it became a side mission when the king ordered me to search for the missing.

According to the data, there were more than a hundred people who died in an avalanche and their bodies could not be found. But because of the snow, their bodies should have been preserved, which is why the king ordered me to look for them. Resurrection magic could not be used for corpses that were already rotting.

With Dimension Teleport, I moved from the king's private room directly to a cave located on the iceberg. This skill allows me to go where I want to go, not just where I've seen it. So even if I go to the zero dimension, this skill will still be able to support it.

Without any preparation, scarf or thick gloves, I foolishly set foot in the cave. The cold air immediately pierced into every cell of my body. My shivering hands I straightened into my chest. The sunlight that warms the cave's face does not seem to be warm enough to make people's body temperature normal.

The view outside the cave, I can see the chasm whose slope is minus. The height of the cave to the surface of the ground is also not kidding. Maybe if I climb this mountain 10 meters up, I can reach the clouds.

“.. d-d-in-cold.” I condemn my own folly, for a person who hates cold as much as I do, this ice is even worse than fire. “Zero Distance.” I used magic just now to pick up the logs. Zero Distance allowed me to pull an object instantly right into my hand. “Fire Ball.” And with the Fire Ball, I shot the tip of the wood with a fire that coagulated. The wood was turned into a torch.

Wishing with that torch, I could be a little calmer.

“But..where should the search start?”

I'm out of sense. Cold air, steep mountain shapes, and snow piled on its surface. However, finding people among the snow piles was impossible.

I decided to go further into the cave, rather than linger outside I thought it would be warmer to get inside.

As expected, the cave was completely dark. The sun was just above, so the light swooped down and did not enter the cave. It's true, a few steps into the long run gets warmer. Although sometimes I still kick snow between the lands I tread.

I'm lucky because this cave is not getting narrowed inside, my head does not hit the sky, and there is also no protruding rock. Rather than being called a cave, this is more appropriate if it is called an entrance.

Unaware I had turned a few times, the bright end of the cave was already invisible. I did not care and continued on, because where I stand now the ground is completely dry and the temperature is very warm.

Until a long time ago, I met a spot that had a little light. Right after I turned the umpteenth time, there was a place inside the cave that looked like a room but had quite a bright light.

I went into the room and found out where the light came from.

Apparently, the light came from the cave wall that provided a reflection. No. gabe. It seemed like it came from a glowing object that was coated by a wall of snow, its light penetrating through and making the room bright.

I who was curious about the light spontaneously stuck my torch and started digging into the wall. Deep, it was only covered in some soft snow.

Until I touched the surface of that thing, which turned out to feel like glass. The shape was bigger than I thought, probably about two meters in length. I pulled that glowing thing out of the wall.

“What the fuck is this?” many wonder.

When removed, it looks like a capsule. The capsule seemed to be protecting something inside. The whole surface is glowing, but I have to make sure what's inside.

I took a closer look into the capsule, which turned out to be transparent.

Panicking, I directly hit the capsule until it was destroyed. It took me a while to do it, but thank God that capsule wasn't the steel I couldn't break

“How can he be in here?” I lifted the girl out of the capsule.

Unaware, I touched it.

My hands goosebumps and my heart seems to stop beating when a force I never imagined before is copied from the girl's body. This power was not even at the level of a King or a Knight, it was far above them.

No, it's not the time to think about power.

When I took it out, this girl was apparently naked. It makes it difficult for me to touch it, especially its appearance is similar to that of a teenage Lenenf. Her hair was pure white exactly like snow, and her face was extremely cute. I took off my jacket to cover it and put it in a sitting position.

“Oh, yes, I have to resurrect it.” I said that despite being aware that this person was clearly not dead from being buried. “Resurrection.”

I activated the magic I copied from King Loiros. It seemed, the mana consumption for this magic was huge. I had to scrape out more than a million mana for this skill.

Eh? Waitie? Where did I get this much? As I recall the number was not this big before, even when I touched King Loiros, my mana calculation was around 300,000.

And now it has reached a million more?

Is this the girl's power?

No, not just mana. There was too much magic and skill I got. This girl, she's not an ordinary person.

When I thought about that, it was unconscious that the girl had already received the Resurrection effect. He slowly opened his eyes and started moaning in pain.

I watched her closely, the girl first started looking around the room, then she paid attention to me sitting in front of her. “... who are you.” ask the girl. I wonder, even though his body is small he has a tone of speech like an adult.

“I'm Meffery Walter. You were wrapped up in this capsule, and you died. I just resurrected you with my magic. Are you all right, son?” my question was friendly, then I pointed to the capsule I just destroyed with my bare hands.

“Oh.. the seal is destroyed, so, it means that the person is dead.” Then, the girl stood up and let my jacket fall. I immediately turned around when he showed me his entire naked body, “And also, who do you call ‘nak’? Did you—” he flicked his sentence.

“What's up?”

“Did you just resurrect me with your magic?” ask her in a sadistic tone..

“.. so it is.”

“Oh.” I heard a fine clinking sound from the frozen ice, it came from where the girl was standing. Out of curiosity, I looked. Apparently the sound came from him making a dress out of ice, which then turned into a light blue cloth. The dress he made, to be seen however was too minimal, the cloth only covered the forbidden area while the rest was wide open.  “For a human, may also be your magic capacity.”

“Ya. there are some mistakes. I have a skill that can copy someone's ability by just touching it. And.. it seems I raised you with your mana that I copied.” I said awkwardly while scratching my head.

The girl threw away her face, she kept on watching the room around which was actually empty with nothing. I was puzzled as to why he was so serious about observing this room that was only surrounded by ice.

Moments later, the girl began to fall silent, her body trembling and her head lowered sharply down, “You okay?” I asked that.

The girl's body collapsed towards me, she lost her balance and almost hit the wall. “Hey, are you okay?” he almost fainted, his face was pale and his breathing was heavy. I held her body with my hands. “... Jesus, why are you?”

“.. I. I lack mana. I need. energy..”

“Because, I don't have the magic to transfer mana. Wait a minute, let me cure you with Cure Heal.”

And, an accident happened at that moment.

I, who was panicking at first, turned into a fool, when a tiny lip suddenly stuck to my lips. I don't know what happened, the girl pulled my collar and kissed me just like that. My body squeezed for a moment.

But this kiss was a little disturbing. He moved his tongue very well, his hands hugged my head until I couldn't move. He enjoyed every second of this kiss like he was eating a delicious meal.

Until a few minutes passed, no more erotic sounds emerged from our tongues. He pulled his lips full of saliva, and he cleaned the saliva with a curled lick on his lips.

“... What did you just do?” I was nervous half to death.

“We've done it 5 minutes, and you're still asking?”

“I-That's because I can't move! How could I have enjoyed such a crazy kiss.” Refute me with a red face. No, it's just a lie, he's really good at kissing.

“As far as you are. But since I saved my life, I say thank you.” The girl smiled at me sincerely. “Truely too, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Florinas, Ice Fairy and queen of the fairies.” He uttered it in his typical adult tone, as if the kiss just now meant nothing to him.

“Ice Series?”

“Yes, I've been sealed here for thousands of years. The person who sealed me, he must be dead, which is why you can break the seal easily.”

“.. I was more curious about the kiss earlier.”

“Oh, that was my way of taking a little mana-you. For thousands of years sealed, it seemed like my magic energy had become uncontrolled and the case was like earlier, my mana was leaking for a while.” Evidently.

“So.. can you say you're hurt?”

“No, forget it. I'm good now. But.” he looked back at me, his eyes were like a pervert with his mouth smiling cunningly. I goosebumps when he licks his lips while touching my cheek, “Which you have. Ah. ah. I want it again. I'm not satisfied with 5 minutes.” He whispered that line, then licked my ear.

“Stop!” I pushed his face away. “Which is more important, why can the fairy race be sealed here? Are you the one who made my town cold?”

“Why can I be sealed? Of course because of the Great War. Don't you know about the Great War? History should be unforgettable in this world.”

“Big War? Sorry.. can you explain it?” ask me to make sure, maybe I know the history of this world if the memory of my childhood alone does not exist.

“As the name implies, it was a very chaotic war. Beings like me and the heavenly messengers, all fighting against the demon race. If I'm not mistaken, the Knights controlled by my sister managed to get me sealed here. I forgot my sister's name.”

“Wait, wait! You guys against us humans? Man... What kind of man was the opponent?” I asked again.

Fairy replied, “Someone with the title of Witch King, the strongest creature in history.”
