Chapter 92 - Cold Winter



Chapter 92: Cold Winter

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

He had finally reached the fourth floor.

The first thing Heath felt was: “So cold!”

After all, he was already a peak-level Knight, and his attributes had already reached 20.

However, he could still feel the bone-piercing chill in the cold wind. From this, it could be seen that the temperature here had already dropped to a certain degree.

“I don’t know what level of spell it is... even a Rank 2 Wizard wouldn’t be able to reduce the temperature in all sorts of areas...”

.

Thinking in a random way, Heath opened the map to take a look, and then began the journey again.

After walking for a while, Heath suddenly found a problem.

There seemed to be no illusionary spirits left behind by Wizards on this level.

Without illusionary spirits, there was no one to explain the rules to him.

Then what should he pay attention to on this level? What were the difficulties? It seemed that these were all unknown.

“Let’s continue walking first.”

After thinking for a while, Heath did not bother about this thing and continued walking towards the destination.

Other than the fact that there were no illusionary spirits, Heath also noticed that the number of Apprentices on this level seemed to have decreased.

After walking for a day, he actually did not encounter any Apprentices. He only encountered some demonized beasts along the way that were not high-level attacks. They were all easily dealt with and their attributes were extracted by him.

There were no fights between Apprentices, nor were there any obstacles like the previous level. There seemed to be nothing to be afraid of on this level.

Was that really the case?

Just as Heath made this guess, a snowstorm suddenly swept over.

The temperature was already low enough, and the surrounding environment of the snowstorm was extremely harsh. Even with Heath’s physique, he was shivering from the cold.

The snowstorm lasted for three days. When the snowstorm ended, Heath heaved a sigh of relief. He did not expect to encounter another avalanche.

The snow from the high mountains was like a tide that covered the sky. Heath jumped onto a big tree in time to avoid the avalanche.

When the avalanche ended, the snow that was knee-high increased to waist-high, making it harder for people to move.

Just as the avalanche ended, it suddenly started to rain.

The rain at such a low temperature was actually more terrifying than the snowstorm. When it fell on people, it was like a knife cutting through them, making them feel extremely painful.

In the next few days, the weather here continued this cycle.

The snowstorm, avalanche, rainstorm, ice, gale, and so on did not stop for a day.

“Environment?”

“The difficulty of this level should be the environment, right?”

After observing for a few days, Heath could not help but make this judgment.

Although there was no need to fight, the difficulty of this level was more difficult than the previous levels combined.

Previously, whether it was fighting with Apprentices or alchemy creatures, at least it was not continuous. He could always find time to rest for a moment.

However, on this layer, he could not rest for a moment.

This was because Heath found that when he stopped, the sand in the hourglass would flow faster.

However, when he walked forward, the sand in the hourglass would slowly increase.

Every day, there were only four hours after nightfall. During these four hours, the sand in the hourglass would not flow. Outside, whether it was a snowstorm or something else, it would suddenly stop.

These four hours was also the only time they could rest.

“This is... deliberately torturing people...”

It could be seen that the purpose of the Wizards was to make the Apprentices keep moving forward, so that they would not have the time to rest.

“Such torture... can anyone really endure it?”

...

As time passed, the trial had also entered the end of the elimination phase.

More and more Apprentices were teleported out of the secret realm. Some were defeated by high-level demonized beasts, some were defeated in fights between Apprentices, and some voluntarily withdrew.

But most of them failed because they did not have enough time in the hourglass.

More and more Apprentices gathered on the lakeside. There were only a few dozen Apprentices left in the secret realm who were still persisting...

Underdark Treesea Secret Realm, at the entrance of the lake.

Sitting on the grass, Ferde looked at the images transmitted from the water ball.

Forest, wilderness, mountains, and snow plains. His gaze swept over every image in the water ball. He watched as the Apprentices were turned into stone sculptures and eliminated for various reasons.

And every time this happened, a strange expression would appear on Ferde’s face.

He looked at the stone statues and kept muttering, “This is it... This is it... No one can reach the end... Everyone will fail... No one...”

His eyes looked a little crazy and neurotic.

Everyone could clearly feel that the elemental fluctuations by the lakeside had become abnormal.

The Wizards who knew the inside story subconsciously stepped back and cast some defensive spells on themselves.

The high and mighty Wizards even showed some fear in their eyes.

Fortunately...

The elemental fluctuations did not last long.

After a moment of excitement, Wizard Ferde’s emotions gradually stabilized, and the elemental fluctuations in the air gradually dissipated.

It was as if some sort of emotion had been released.

Wizard Ferde panted lightly.

Then, he raised his head and glanced at the scene on the water ball. He seemed to have lost interest. He waved his hand and said, “That’s enough. Let’s end it here.”

Wizard Slater walked forward and bowed. “Yes.”

...

On the other side, in the fourth level of the Underdark Treesea Secret Realm.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A violent wind reverberated between heaven and earth.

On the vast white snowfield, there was a violent snowstorm.

This snowstorm seemed to be even more violent than the previous ones. The violent wind even uprooted the giant trees nearby.

Walking in such a violent snowstorm, Heath even had to activate the vitality in his body and occasionally use Wizard’s Hand to grab the ground. Only then was he able to barely stand.

At this moment, his face was covered with a thick mask, which was tightly wrapped except for his eyes.

Even so, every time the strong wind whistled over, he could still feel a knife-like sharpness scratching his cheek, causing pain to his cheek.

The skin tissue on his body had already shown signs of frostbite, and many places had even lost feeling. The temperature outside was terrifyingly low, and the surrounding environment had already reached a terrifying level.

Even so, Heath still persisted.

The determination in his eyes had never changed.

He was a person who would not make a decision easily. Once he made a decision, then he would put in 120% percent of his energy to fight and work hard.

Since he had already decided to walk to the end, then it was impossible for him to retreat. No matter what dangers, difficulties, and hardships he encountered in the road ahead, unless he fell down, he would absolutely not admit defeat.

This bit of wind and snow was nothing.

Heath’s fighting spirit was high.

However, at this moment, a heavy bell chime suddenly sounded in the secret plane.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Before Heath could regain his senses, he heard Wizard Slater’s voice.

It was only a simple sentence, but it caught Heath off guard.

“The Apprentice Trial has ended. Apprentices in the secret plane, please leave the secret plane immediately.”

Heath was stunned.

What was going on?

Why did it end all of a sudden?
