Marvin stared blankly as the Frost Heart collapsed, turning into fragments of dust that flowed along the Eternal Frozen Spring before floating toward the surface.

He could only awkwardly look at that scene, unable to do anything.

Because when he wanted to make a move, he felt a powerful power locking his body in place!

He was actually locked in time!

This was something unimaginable because there shouldn't have been anyone that could use such an ability that was anywhere near his location.

One possibility he could think of was that it was a side-effect of the Frost Heart shattering.

It all indicated that something big had to be happening.

After all, the Eternal Frozen Spring had remained unchanged for so many years, yet its seal was recently broken through and now the Frost Heart within crumbled away!

Marvin also hadn't known what kind of effect would appear after killing the Final Ghost Mother!

He could only watch in frustration as these fragments drifted away.

He could feel that the temperature in the surroundings was slowly rising.

But this wasn't good news!

...

Desolate Pambo Sea.

A three-mast sailboat was slowly travelling westward.

Many nobles dressed in sumptuous clothes were gathered on the desk. They were ordinary Humans with a group of strong Fighters at their side.

After the Universe Magic Pool shattered, the Wizard Era came to an end.

Feinan's South almost completely fell apart, especially the southeast part of the Six Pearl Harbors and the area around the Three Ring Towers.

But there weren't as many Wizards in the western regions, and the monsters didn't become as frightening.

So after the first attack, there were still many city-states that had yet to be attacked by monsters or out-of-control Wizards.

But the Wizards were transforming quickly into Wizard Monsters, and those that still hadn't transformed yet were panicking.

And as that disaster played out, the poor could only resign themselves to their fates while the rich prepared to make their way out.

Many were trying to find a way to leave the place that once nurtured them.

They had heard that, although still dangerous, the eastern region of the Dead Area was a lot safer since there were fewer Wizards.

Thus, the nobles of the western coast of Feinan joined together and began to group up, bringing their families, guards, and their property as they embarked on a long migration.

Pambo Sea was a very frightening body of water to sail across. Some people died halfway, and some ships crashed in the storm. Not many people could sail to the end.

The luck of that three-mast ship had clearly held out.

Although everyone on the deck seemed pale because of the long trip, no one had fallen sick or ended up in a severe condition.

"Hey, Jack, gimme an estimate of the travel time."

A handsome youth complained to a sailor next to him, "I can't stand this dull trip anymore."

The sailor smiled and looked at the nautical chart for a moment before conscientiously saying, "If our course didn't deviate and if the wind and sea current are advantageous, we will need at most three days to reach Sunrise Island."

The youth frowned in dissatisfaction. "Can't you go faster?"

The sailor scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

At that time, an obese middle-aged man on the side rebuked, "We aren't on a trip, we are fleeing!"

"Martin, remember this, we are no longer mighty nobles. If we can reach the Dead Area, it would only be due to God Lance showing us some favor."

"God?" the youth sneered disdainfully. "For us to fall to this stage, isn't it those Gods' fault?"

"Those filthy so-called "Gods" shattered the Universe Magic Pool. And that lunatic woman wanted to take advantage of the chaotic situation to ascend. If not for Great Hero Marvin killing her, our lives might have been ensnared by that lunatic. After all this, you actually still believe in Gods? Dear Father, I see that you are really hopeless."

The middle-aged man was flabbergasted for several moments before he finally collected his witch and retorted, "The Universe Magic Pool was personally established by Lance, and it blessed us for a millennium. I believe that as the supreme God, he definitely would have done something to protect us if he were still there."

The youth sneered, about to snap back at his father, when a cracking sound suddenly came from the boat!

"What happened? Did we hit a reef! Jack?!" The youth shouted.

The sailor quickly checked outboard for the origin of the sound.

After a brief moment, his expression became very strange.

"What happened?" The middle-aged man seemed surprised as he asked, "Why does it feel a bit cold?"

That sailor turned and pointed at the sea in shock.

"Lord…"

"Frozen…"

"Lord…"

"Completely frozen!"

...

Frozen!

When the Frost Heart shattered, the frightening ice essences went against the stream and a strange climate appeared in the Pambo Sea between Feinan and the Dead Area!

Such a huge sea was frozen!

And even the water in the air crystallized and started dropping like hail!

The people on the eastern part of the Dead Area and the western of Feinan discovered with consternation the surface of the sea turned to ice and the temperature rapidly depleted!

It was as if spring had just ended and made way for winter.

Many ships and boats were frozen in ice!

People were left helpless, unaware of how this had happened!

...

West Coast, abandoned Ancient Castle Tulip.

The lowest floor of the maze.

There was a huge underground lake.

Some fragments were going against the flow as a cold aura of ice engulfed everything, freezing the lake in a flash.

But at that time, the chains of the coffins above the lake broke.

"Rumble!"

The coffin fell onto the layer of ice. The lid was opened.

Then, a fair hand stretched out of the coffin.

"Disaster falling, sea freezing."

"The time finally arrived..." A lazy voice drifted out from the coffin.

It sounded as if someone had been sleeping for a long time and finally woke up after hearing an alarm.

"Crash!"

The coffin shattered.

A naked man with closed eyes floated into the air.

His body seemed close to perfection. He had a delicate appearance, slender fingers, and the skin was the palest white.

"Let me think…"

"Right, my name is… Yin!"

"How many years has it been? Let's see what my children are doing."

Then, a faint voice echoed in the hearts of all the Vampires in Feinan:

"Tulip…"

"I am Yin…"

...

The glacier far in the North.

The woman who had suffered having seven heads get crushed by O'Brien slowly opened her eyes.

Faintly, two little snakes, one red and one green, floated in her eyes.

Frightening power from the Ethereal Plane surged through as the hissing sound of snakes spread throughout the entire Far North!

"Rebirth… Take back… Our power…"

"Fourth… Tablet…"

The glacier then burst out, and an azure shadow rushed out of the glacier. Under the sunshine, on the beautiful ice layer, nine shadows could faintly be seen!
