《Rivalry I Live for》Chapter 11. Aren't we Partners?
Advertisement
Walking up from the stairs out of the broken corridor, I saw the gigantic ice arena from one of the four entrances to the icy public seats. Whoa, a earthshake could be felt, I stumbled as I tried to reach something to balance myself, unequipping my tower shield to remove the [slow] status effect, I ran towards the edge, held the icy fences and checked what was causing the tremor.
“EEEEK!” He screamed, gliding on the ice that trembled and started to crack as the Giant Ice Yeti chased fruitlessly.
Hiding myself I waited for the moment to strike as they ran like a wild goose chase around the arena.
Ok… Here they come, NOW!
I flew with the chilly wind with the help of the icy fences, axe above my head as I flied towards the back of the ice yeti.
DIE!
“Crack”

Shocked, I landed on the icy floor stomach first, a tiny drop of sweat ran down from my forehead and I stood back on my feet. I am screwed aren’t I? Why are you looking at me like that…
“Grrrrrr!”
Please, you started this war, plunged my peaceful life into chaos, and now I was just about to put you down and restore peace!
“ROOOOOAAAAARR!”
EEwww! The tingling and thick wet slime ran down my face. Cleaning it up I splattered it over the floor.
“See ya!”
…
“...”
“Oh, well nice to meet you here!”
“Ah, hello Douglas”
“So, how’s the day?”
“Ah, well you know… The usual, running from the big guys”
“...”
“Oi! What are you doing here?”
“Trying to save you!”
“...” Tears fell down from his eyes.
“Boss!!!” He screamed, hugging me.
“Oi! This is not the time for bromance!”
“What are you talking about?” He question, pushing me away together with him towards the cold floor.
A strong breeze flew by, as I laid there questioning the reason, a ice boulder crushed the wall of the coliseum… If he hadn’t saved me, when he did… I shuddered.

“Crackling noise”
Shit, what now?!
“Crackling noise”
Searching for the source, I noticed that the Yeti trembled around a corner, the ice cracked and started to break up starting from the boulder, the icy floor… Collapsed.
“UUUAAAAAAAAHHH!” We fell to the depths as our stomach tingled with the heavy feeling of gravity.
…
“DOUGLAS HUG ME!” I screamed.
“NO way! You gay?”
“Die alone then!”
“...” He quietly hugged me, face burning.
Taking out the two broken pieces of the axe head. I pierced it onto the icy wall to stop our acceleration. My hand started to burn, numb because of blood but kept alive by the pricking feeling of the splintering ice.
“ARRRGGGHHH!” I screamed.
Taken 2 damage

It kept repeating for a long while.
...
“GOOD, Boss! Keep it going!” He said, cheering me up as he held my body.
Taken 2 damage
Taken too much damage to your handYou lost the function to use your hand for 5 seconds
“...”
“Douglas, we are dead”
“UUUAAAAAAAAHHH!!” We screamed once again as he released me.
“THUD!” “THUD!”
“THUD!”
Taken 5 fall damage
“...”
Phew… At least we were near the ground…
“We are alive!” I said, standing up and used a strong healing potion to restore my health.
Huh? Douglas?
As I checked my vicinity as I brushed my pants off, I couldn’t see Douglas. We were or I, surrounded by a large circle of ice wall to the depths of nowhere.
The sun shone brightly into the big hole of the coliseum, illuminating our surroundings. The tunnels that looked to be a way out was surrounded by darkness. There was ice bridges toward the middle of the circle room as you could jump down further to the depths of hell. There a pillar stood, with excalibur… The holy grail.
Actually, not really…
“Help!” A scream from further down could be heard.
Looking down into the pitch black darkness from the ice ledge.
I could see Douglas struggling as his icy fingers turned bright red from holding the edge down below a few meters down.
“...” No way, I can reach down that far without jumping down…

“Give me a second” I said and moved towards the middle that had a pillar with a weird looking item attached to it.
“What?! You choose that object over your friend?” He questioned me with a sulk.
“If you can talk, you can hold!”
“Besides, I can’t reach you anyway, lemme see if this can help us”
“But! I… I can’t not anymore!” He said, each finger getting loose from the slippery ice edge.
“AAAAAAAH!” He screamed.
“thud”
“...”
“Ops forgot to say that you could just release your grip, trolololol!”
“HAHA, very funny!” He said, turning around, cheek burning…
Anyways, as I walk towards the pillar curiously with a icy item stuck on top. A strong cold pushed me away. But it couldn’t stop me, my cold resistance was strong. A heavy breeze now made my cape flap happily as I cover my eyes blinded by a unknown source of snow.
What the heck?
“Oi, having some trouble boss?”
“No way, just wait a bit”
Forcing my way through the unknown wind that pushed me through the icy bridge gliding for a few minutes. I was finally at front of the pillar.
Whoa, isn’t this a axe? The angle before made me think it was a stick…
Circling the icy weapon to check it’s awesomeness, I noticed a cold aura were constantly released from it.
Inspect…

One skill? THat’s it? But the passives are GREAT!!! So this class highly depends on this [Cold Air] Skill…
Anyways, lets test this appear on hand passive…
Raising the large axe made out of ice above my head, I threw it towards the wall.
Think! I want it on my hand! I can feel the cold!
As it flew, it disintegrated into vapor and builded it way back on my hand.
“Nice!”
But what’s with this free will?
“I am glad you asked!” Something nearby said.
“HEY! I’m talking to you!” a cute feminine tone said and lightly soothed my cheek.
Huh? Ice fairy?
“HEY!”
“...”
“Hey!”
“...”
“Hey!”
“...”
“Maybe I should return this weapon after all”
“No please don’t! I have been stuck here for hundreds of years, waiting for someone to grab me!”
“Yeah, but your -hey- is so freaking annoying”
“Sorry! I am just so excited!” She said, and gently sat on my shoulder.
“Anyways, since you are my companion now, anything you can tell me about the last unknown passive?”
“No, sorry I don’t know…”
… Useless.
“But I can fight with you!”
OOooh “clap, clap, clap”
She turned bright red and hid inside my hoodie. Weak to praises?
I turned around and crouched on the edge of the ice pillar
“Douglas, I’m coming!”
“Took you some time!”
