Huh? Has the atmosphere changed?

We are traveling on the back of the Valkyrie in a white world.

Among them, Lambda was the first to notice the changes in the surroundings.

Somehow, I started to say that the atmosphere around me was different than before.

And that's not a mistake.

In fact, this snow-closed space was different.

"You've noticed, Lambda." Maybe it's because of that. "

"Oh, is that it? I don't think that's what Alphonse and the Prince were talking about." Hee, it's huge. "

I wonder if it was because I kept moving through the blizzard.

At this time, the blizzard was a little calm.

But not only that, it was colder than ever.

I'm sure it's because of the ice absorbing stone that appeared in front of us.

Even the small ice absorbing stone I could take with me sucked away the cold from my surroundings.

But the bigger one is justice.

An upright, icy pillar-like stone protruding from the ground.

Thanks to the ice absorbing stone, which was bigger than a person's back length, it sucked in more cold, or it didn't feel cold on the skin.

"This is a pretty solid ice absorbing stone." I'd rather be a little bigger than a statue, but it's big enough. So, what do we do, Ben? I found the ice absorbing stone you were looking for, but what are you going to do with it? ”

Me, Lambda, and the rest of them were looking around the icebreaker that we found interestingly.

Lambda seemed to be the first to see something this size, but not the others.

The ice-absorbing stones in the new Barca and variants were bigger.

That's enough to make a statue of Brother Arth riding the Valkyrie.

However, even so, everyone seemed excited that they could actually see such a change with their own eyes in the harsh environment of the mausoleum.

Benjamin didn't join the circle, but he still had a different face.

I saw an icebreaker before I fought a white dragon.

That's why I think this ice absorbing stone has something to do with it.

"Awesome. I can feel the power of this icestone." Does ice absorbing stone mean the bigger the better? "

"Basically, yes. However, it is not enough to be large. Ice-absorbing stones have the property of absorbing the cold around them. Because of this, it seems important that high-quality ice absorbing stones are not only about size, but also about how much cold they absorb.”

"How much cold will you suck out? How about this?"

"It looks like it's relatively snowy where we've been." I think the quality is high because it is an ice absorbing stone where such snowstorms exist on a daily basis. Well, at least there's no one but us who can get hold of this. ”

There's only one exception.

Of course, the exception is Brother Ars.

Moreover, the exceptional Brother Arth could create his own ice absorbing stone.

That's why they set up their own ice absorbing stone at the top of one of the highest peaks in the mountains.

As expected, it may be said that there is still not enough cold here, but it is a substitute that cannot be obtained anywhere else.

This icestone is undoubtedly a precious gem.

Hearing what I said, Benjamin nodded and approached the icestone.

"Excellent. You know what, Al? You said that this icestone absorbs the cold, but that's not all. He's got power. The source of the power of nature in this world."

"A source of power in nature?... is that a spirit or something like that?"

"That's right. Do you know the Spirit?" Exactly. There is a higher being in the world called the Spirit. That spirit is in this stone. And I can use that spirit. "

"What? Use spirits?" Could it be that you can sign up for spirits or something, Ben? "

"A contract? No. Then I guess I'm on par with the spirits." No, I'm going to use it. It could be said to be useful. I'll use the spirits in this icestone. "

Benjamin said that when he talked to me.

It's not a spirit contract, it's a spirit function.

I don't know what the difference is, but even if I only heard the words, I haven't heard a single pin.

But Benjamin reaches for the icestone and touches it.

So, for the first time, I felt the magic power in Benjamin's body.

Until then, the magic power flowed out of his body, which had barely felt anything, and entered the ice absorbing stone.

After that, it felt like the magic power was moving around the ice absorbing stone for a while.

I didn't know what to say about the movement of that magic power.

If you dare to say it, would you be able to say it's a biological movement?

If you can't move it according to the movement of my flowing body, you won't be able to make a fine vibration with your sword like [Sharp Blade].

Benjamin's it was like he was chewing.

Benjamin's magic energy that entered the ice absorbing stone moves to eat the spirits that would be in the ice absorbing stone.

After such a strange and even unpleasant sign, the magic power returned to Benjamin from the ice absorbing stone.

After that, as before, the magic power itself was diluted.

Did you use it?

Spirit in the ice-absorbing stone.

I couldn't say a word when I was shown a scene that I hadn't expected at all.
