"Huh?　Did something change in the atmosphere?"

　We are moving around the white world on the back of a Valkyrie.

　Lambda was the first among us to notice the changes in our surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She began to say that the atmosphere around her was somehow different from before.

　And he was not wrong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, this snow-closed space was different from what it had been before.

"You noticed it well, Lambda. Maybe it's because of that."

"That, sir?　Don't tell me that's the ice-absorbing stone that Alphonse-sama and Prince-sama were talking about. Wow, it's huge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it was because we kept moving through a blizzard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this time, the blizzard had calmed down a bit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But not only that, it was colder than before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It must have been because of the ice-absorbing rocks that appeared in front of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though the ice absorbing stone was small enough for me to carry around, it was absorbing the cold from the surroundings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But bigger is better.

　A stone like a pillar of ice, standing upright, seemingly sticking out of the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice-absorbing stones, which were taller than a human being, absorbed more of the cold so that I didn't even feel chilly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a pretty solid ice-absorbing stone. If I wanted to make a statue, it should be a little bigger, but it's big enough. So what are you going to do with it, Ben?　I found the ice suction stone you wanted, but what are you going to do with it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I, Lambda, and the others were looking around with great interest at the ice stone we had found.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lambda had never seen anything of this size before, but the others had.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ice sucking stones we had set up in New Barca Street and in Valiant were much larger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They could have made a statue of Brother Ars riding his Valkyrie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, everyone seemed excited to see such a strange object in the harsh environment of the sacred mountain with their own eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And Benjamin, who was not part of the group, but still looked different from before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Before I fight the white dragon, I will look at the ice-absorbing stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since he said so, he must have a purpose for this ice sucking stone that he found.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's great. I can feel the strong power of this ice sucking stone. Does it mean that the bigger the ice absorbing stone is, the better?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Basically, yes. But it is not enough just to be big. Ice absorbing stones have the property of absorbing the surrounding cold. Therefore, the quality of an ice absorbing stone is not only its size, but also how much cold it absorbs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How much cold does it absorb? What about this one?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The area we've been through seems to be relatively prone to snowstorms. I think the quality of the ice-absorbing stones must be high, since they exist in a place where such snowstorms are common. Well, at least, I don't think anyone but us will be able to get our hands on it.

　There is one exception.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That exception, of course, is my brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that exception is Brother Ars, who can create his own ice-absorbing stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, he has placed an ice-absorbing stone that he made by himself on the top of the highest mountain in the sacred mountain range.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Compared to this, it is still not cold enough here, but it is still something that cannot be found anywhere else.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This ice absorbing stone is definitely a precious gem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hearing my words, Benjamin nodded and approached the ice absorbing stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's wonderful, isn't it? You know what, Al?　You said that this ice absorbing stone absorbs the cold, but that's not all. It has power. The source of the power of nature in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The source of the power of nature?　...... Is that, by any chance, a genie or something like that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's great. You know about spirits. That's right. There are higher beings in the world called spirits. The spirits are inside this stone. And I can use that spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　Use a genie?　Does that mean you can make a contract with a spirit or something, Ben?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Contract?　No, it's not. That makes it sound like I'm equal to the genie. No, I use them. I'd say I'm using them. I'm using the spirit that's in the ice stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Benjamin said something like that when he talked to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not a contract with a spirit, but a spirit-user.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could not understand what the difference was between the two, even though I heard only the words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Benjamin reached out his hand and touched the ice-absorbing stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There, for the first time, I felt the magic power in Benjamin's body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic flowed out of his body, which had felt almost nothing before, and it entered the ice stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, for a while, it felt as if the magic was moving around in the ice suction stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The movement of the magic power was something that I do not know how to describe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would venture to say that it was a biological movement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not like my flow, which can move in accordance with the movement of my body, nor does it make minute vibrations in the body of the sword like the [Sharp Blade] does.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Benjamin's was like chewing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Benjamin's magical power, which has entered the ice suction stone, moves to eat the spirit that may be inside the ice suction stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a while of such a strange and even creepy feeling, the magic power returned from the ice sucking stone to Benjamin again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, as before, the magic itself became less and less powerful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Did he use it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The spirit in the ice stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could not say a single word after being shown this totally unexpected scene.
