148 Chapter 147: "Church Cristal"

Endless iceberg.

Having a blizzard in the pitch black night sky. Linc who was holding the ball of light to illuminate the darkness, continued to dash forward cautiously.

He didn't even use Arella's maximum ability because he needed to be careful with his surroundings.

During the trip, Linc had also seen many ice sculptures scattered everywhere. The conditions of all these ice sculptures were almost exactly the same, as if they were trying to climb a snow mountain before freezing to death.

They were all trying to reach the tip of the iceberg.

What's hidden there?

"[Linc stop!]"

Formed ice spikes in his hands, and plunged them into the frozen ground. Linc stopped quickly, and the ground in front of him suddenly collapsed.

The snow fell into the abyss without limits.

"... It's almost close..." Linc broke out in a cold sweat.

Looks like this iceberg still has a lot of hidden traps.

"[I noticed a pattern. The ice sculptures are only scattered in areas that have a dense density of soil. It seems like everyone here is also looking for a safe way to the top of the iceberg.]"

"So you're saying I have to follow where the ice statue appears, right? But Claire, we don't have any ice sculptures around us."

Everyone trapped in this iceberg seemed to be using their bodies as safe markers. Linc didn't pay much attention to it because the roads he had always been on were safe, not noticing that the ice sculptures around him were becoming less and less.

Now, the surroundings had no ice sculptures at all.

Either because the challengers who climbed the iceberg had never made it to this place, or it was Linc himself who had strayed so far away.

After all, these two facts really made it very problematic.

The slightest misstep, then he will immediately enter into the abyss of infinite darkness.

Plus that he can neither fly nor float. Making this hidden trap even more deadly.

"[Linc, look, there's a faint light to the right.]"

Tilted his head, and looked to the side. In the heavy snowfall, Linc saw a small butterfly, having a golden shimmering light, slowly approaching him.

The blizzard did not destroy the luminous butterfly's thin and tiny wings. The butterfly didn't seem like an object made of solid matter.

"Claire, found danger?"

"[No.]"

Seeing the light butterfly that was already in front of him. Linc saw the butterfly blink, as if it would lose its light in a few seconds.

Thinking and consider his actions. Linc didn't feel any danger from the golden glowing butterfly, and he immediately extended his hand forward.

Touched Linc's warm fingers. The golden light butterfly, perched, and Linc suddenly had a flashback in his mind.

"{My mother said I have ancestral abilities... The power of will... As long as you remember happy things...they will sacrifice for you... I just don't understand why my mother forbade me to use this ability... By the way... mother's hand feels very warm...}"

Stunned, and realized that the golden butterfly in his hand had disappeared. Linc raised his head to see streaks of light streaking through the darkness, as if guiding his to enter there.

"Claire, did you see it?"

"[Yes, very clear. I suspect that Aherana's ability is requires her for sacrifice her memories. They sacrifices that Aherana's mother refers to are her own memories.]"

Now, it all makes sense.

How could Aherana survive the nineteenth day, breaking the curse of eighteen ice statues? Linc felt this was Aherana's ability.

She, burning her own memory to keep herself warm.

"The time limit for this ability is when all of Aherana's memories are exhausted. Her sacrificial memory has led me to help her as soon as possible. I will not let their sacrifice be in vain."

Looking at the powder line of light that unfolded before his eyes. Linc bent his legs, and began to follow the light very quickly.

For this light guides him to the place of Aherana. Then all the places he went through became very safe.

Turn, run forward, and after that take a detour. The whole path he was on was very safe which made Linc a little happy.

However...

It never lasts long.

The line of light was cut off.

"[See below.]"

With the help of Claire. Linc looked down at the pile of snow, and he saw a butterfly glowing green, falling weakly onto the pile of snow.

Linc touched it lightly.

"{My memory... is slowly fading... I don't know, who often invites me to go to the playground... Who is he?}"

It seems... It's getting worse.

Aherana starts to slowly lose her memory.

Seeing streaks of green light appearing within his Vision. Linc continued to dash forward without the slightest delay, and he found a butterfly of blue light, buried in a pile of snow.

"{There's a woman's voice whispering in my ear... She's asking for help... She must be cold... Just like me...}"

"A whisper?"

"[....]"

Had a confused expression on his face. Linc continued to run forward, without delaying his movement at all. Every moment is very precious here.

He had to quickly find Aherana before he froze into an ice sculpture. Let's think about it later.

4th butterfly.

"{I can't remember why I'm here... What am I waiting for? My memories...}"

5th butterfly.

"{I can't remember...}"

6th butterfly.

"{I can't... I can't...}" Aherana's voice trembled, like crying.

7th butterfly.

"{Why can I be here! This is very cold! IT'S SO COLD HERE!!!}" She screamed hysterically.

8th butterfly.

"{Hiks... Hiks... Brother... Hiks...}"

....

Picked up a lot of light butterflies, and realized Aherana's sanity and memory were almost gone. Linc finally reached the tip of the ice cap, and he was breathing heavily.

Here, it still has a very cold icy blizzard.

However, than that. Linc looked at the colorful buildings, with a surprised expression behind her demon mask.

"Crystal Church?"

Standing on the top of the mountain, there is a crystal church consisting of colorful crystals that are very elegant, and also give off a very holy light.

This Crystal Church was exactly the same as the crystal church in the document given to him by his father.

He didn't know why the crystal church could appear here.

Is the curse of the ice sculpture of the Magiota family the work of this church?

"[Looks like we found Aherana.]"

Lowered his head, and saw the only ice sculpture on the top of the iceberg. Linc slightly clenched his fist tightly.

"{COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD COLD..!!!}"

Even without the help of light butterflies. Linc could hear Aherana's icy screams.

The ice sculpture, crying.

Linc doesn't know how cold Aherana is feeling right now. But hearing her soft voice, slowly turning into a sobbing and hysterical sound, made Linc feel she must be in a lot of torment there.

Aherana's ice statue, standing in front of the church door with her right hand touching the gate, and her left hand, holding a small colorful light.

It seems like, those colorful lights were Aherana's memories.

Her memory had almost faded.

"{Found, we were Found! That human is too strong and fast... From the start it was strange to let us come here... But he... He... he..!}"

With Aherana's sobbing voice. A third-class Hore monster appeared in the dark area, as if it had been created from within the darkness.

"[Once the happy memories are wiped out, then the tragic memories will emerge. I wonder where she fought this many third-rate Hore monsters.]"

"No Claire, look at them. An army of soldiers wielding thermal weapons. They also seem to be third-class Hore monsters. this spiritual world creates and strengthens it in one go the complete package."

Seeing the soldiers raise their weapons, take aim, and let out a blue laser line aiming at his body. Linc could only helplessly sigh.

"Claire, can I use super fast thinking skills?"

"[If you want to summon LOVE, then just use it.]"

"Then forget it."

Clenched his fists blankly. Linc created the familiar revolver rifle in his hand using Hore's energy, and took aim at his enemy very quickly.

"BANG!!!"

Linc, immediately ran towards Aherana quickly, while being repelled by Hore beasts and a hail of bullets.

It's really not easy.
