"Embrace the snow as its a gift from gods, do it, and you will see my nod."

"Your heat is just a bit of heresy so give it up as a sign of courtesy"

With every word of the poetry recited by a charming voice, my body stiffened even more. All the way back before the real fight even begun, I was still able to blink and look around, but the situation now was far worse. With even my eyes glued to a single point in space, the last thing remaining intact was my consciousness.

Bonger, can you do anything about it?

…

…

…

With no response from the system, I realised I was left all alone with this hurdle. My last hope is that Bonger will still respond to the commands that I learned that are working!

Bonger, dump all the possible points into my inteligence!

"Blop!"

"Inteligence raised by 191!"

"Host acquire "The young but wise" title!"

In a flash, the entire world seemed to clarify. All the colours around me suddenly brightened up, as if I was able to see the essence of everything that surrounded me. Thankfully, the usual blankness of mind didn't appear this time, replaced by insane clarity of my mind!

Realising that this strange poetry had something to do with the spell that was binding me didn't require increasing my inteligence, but understanding the crux of the matter did!

Even if I already stepped out of the arctic area, watching the place that I was forced to watch I noticed that it was already turning colder! When we were hunting the monsters with Eve, the area was comfortably warm, as if designed to be pleasant for the visitors. On the other hand, right now I could see a think layer of frost covering the wooden rubble!

With every second, even my body could feel colder and colder, with my will to resist the binding diminishing with every drop of the temperature.

This spell has definitely something to do with the frost! Wait, frost?

As one of the tree branches fully covered in a glistering coat of ice, I suddenly felt overwhelmed by the beauty of this scenery. With all the destruction that took place with penguin descent, the coldness was slowly working to cover it all up with a stratum of snow.

How beautiful! How calming! This snowy solution offered to eradicate everything that happened before and comfort my troubles in a warm embrace of…

WAIT! NO! I can't let this spell sway me away!

BONGER! ALL THE REMAINING POINTS IN THE CHARISMA!

"Blop!"

"Charisma raised by 150"

Aaaaah!

Just as I hoped!

With increased charisma, the effect of this hypnotic spell didn't hold such a strong grip over my body!

Thank god for my intuition back then to snatch the falling sword! If this monster still had it at this point, I would already be incarnated into nothing more than a pile of dust! But that creates another question! Why there were no attacks whatsoever from this damn penguin?!

"Obey me people as I'm your lord, overlord of ice, the sovereign of the cold!"

"In my dominion, my rule is one, if you don't listen, you will forever be gone!"

My knees failed.

Even if improving my charisma set me free from the previous bind, this constant voice ringing in my ears prevented me from exerting any of my strength. Suddenly lovered to a simple mortal, I couldn't even dream about either running away or fighting back! Every word of this damn lowly poetry was shrouding me with extreme coldness, stiffening my joints and slowly eradicating my will to resist.

Wait, coldness?

With the last speck of hope, I take out my recently acquired sword and randomly slash it in the direction that I feel the voice coming from. Contrary to my expectations, the attack bears no effect at all!

Recalling how the monster was using it while it still held it in its fin, I point the sword again in the same direction.

Nothing happens.

"FIREBALL!"

Still nothing.

"ENGULF MY ENEMIES WITH FIRE!"

Who could expect that outcome? Surprisingly, NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS!

"Blop!"

"Detected host wishes to use a foreign weapon."

"System suggest using the analyze tool"

Right! I totally forgot, I still have this system tool! But isn't it only applicable to the things connected in some way to the bonger? Like, created with the use of Bonger gifted ability?

Bonger! Analyze this sword!

"Blop!"

"Name: Ultraviolet englufer"

"Description: Legendary grade sword capable of turning cultivators spiritual energy into heat energy. With the sufficient heat, the ultraviolet ray is cast at the direction that the sword is aimed at, carrying all the heat gathered by the cultivator."

"Requirments: Cultivator's energy must be at least at spirit level"

What the hell? Is this sword absolutely useless for me? Considering how this penguin was supposed to be in a higher realm that the sect master of Eve's sect, I can be sure that it already reached a spirit realm. That would explain why it was able to attack me with this fire earlier. But does that mean that I'm unable to cast it at all? Or maybe the problem lies somewhere else?

Right, I'm supposed to channel my energy into the sword first! With how dire the situation is, I don't really have time to figure out any other way to prevent this frost from spreading and engulfing me again!

"Bonger, concentrate half of my mana at the tip of this sword!"

If I have no idea how to circulate my energy, I can always use my kind and compassionate system to do it after all!

"Blop!"

"System doesn't have access to the host's energy."

"Host needs to do it himself!"

":C"

FUCK!
