《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!”

The Girl Named Rino
Oh. Hello. I didn't see you come in. No, don't worry. I don't need to hear your name. I already know what it is. I also knew that you'd come up at around this time. But, at the same time, I also didn't know. It's very hard to put into words - but that's what happens when you become the Chaos God. Your psyche gets messed up, big time. That's even more so for me, who was already warped enough to confuse reality with imagination - and, even make the rest of the universe believe that it was so. But, enough about me. Let's talk about you. You seem to come from a very far away land. It's faint, but your presence is there - in a relatively primitive planet. No wonder, no one wanted to stay in, or conquer your region of the universe - there's nothing worth controlling there. Your existence, much like your entire solar system, also seems to be pretty insignificant. Tell me, is your race capable of destroying your own world? Oh, you're already well along the way? Global Warming? Pollution? Overpopulation? Nuclear weapons? Wow... it's been many millenia since I'd last heard of such ancient concepts from someone who is actually living through it. Still, good job getting that far. That means that your world is now, at least, worth considering as a possible place to install a World System. If I find the time, I'll try surveying it. You can just thank me, later. Oh wait! What kind of person am I, not even offering my guest any hospitality. I'm ashamed. Please, take a seat. What would you like? I have everything the multiverse has to offer, whatever it is you want - I can get. Ah! After we talk, would you mind, if I asked you to do me a tiny favor? There's this girl, I want to keep tabs on. She's in one of the Worlds that I preside over, it's called Aiarthe. But, for some reason, I can't see her - not directly, at least. All I need you to do, is check up on her from time to time. Whether you do it as a pure spectator or through someone else's eyes, is entirely up to you. Really!? You would!? Wow! Thanks! You really did me, a huge solid there! For agreeing so quickly, how about I get started on surveying that planet of yours, right now!? You can help yourself, to anything in the fridge! Well, see ya!
