Water and Fire Twins Magician

Because the wind and snow intensified, it took Coffee and Jacques twice as long to walk the same distance as before.

They arrived at the open camp and found it empty as well. It seemed that they had retreated earlier than the people from Sacred Heart and Imperial Capital.

"The average strength of the trialists in the public camp is the weakest, and they won't be able to accomplish anything great. It's a wise choice for them to retreat as soon as possible." Coffee said, "It's a good harvest to be able to dig up some ice core fragments, which is enough to handle many low-level and mid-level mercenary missions."

Jacques thought of the strange team Fili had mentioned: "...I always felt that those weirdos had other intentions, and were not satisfied with just digging around and getting some scraps."

Coffee suddenly stamped his feet: "Hey, thinking back to the information I collected about the applicants before the trial, there shouldn't be anyone in the open camp who can pose a threat. Why did I deliberately go around to take a look?"

Her uneasiness was visible to the naked eye, and Jacques couldn't help but ask, "Fei'er, is your intuition... accurate?"

"...I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, my intuition has always been accurate..." Coffee's eyes were wandering now, and he said a little sadly: "The more I like to scheme against others, the more I fear meeting someone smarter and being schemed against by him... Ha, you still saw my most vulnerable side."

Jacques felt his heart beating wildly. This was the first time he was so close to Fei'er's heart.

But this was only fleeting. Fei'er quickly hid her fragile side and turned back into the confident and clever little girl: "Okay, let's go! It's time to complete the trial! Get the raw water as soon as possible, and then go back to the Imperial Capital to hold a celebration party!"

"I just want to take a nice hot shower." Jacques shrugged.

"Oh, taking a bath... Well, if you can successfully complete the trial, what kind of reward do you want, Jacques?" Coffee suddenly blushed: "If you want to take a hot bath, I can help you..."

"It's a deal!" Jacques' eyes were ablaze with fire: "What ice-breaking core? Watch me blow it up with one punch!"

The wind and snow were getting stronger and stronger. The two of them could hardly keep their feet steady and could only stumble forward.

Even the coffee was so cold that he had to grit his teeth and use all his magic power to barely resist the biting cold. Everyone should be able to guess how painful Jacques, who was extremely afraid of cold, was now. But for him, thinking back to Fei'er's words just now, all the hard work was worth it... The red-haired boy was becoming more and more like the Lira brothers.

The two walked against the wind and snow. After an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the permafrost ice core.

The cold air and snowflakes brought by the wind and snow made the ice core, which had been dug into pits, gradually return to the shape of an egg.

"This permafrost ice core is actually a crystal formed by all the water elements and cold air in the permafrost abyss in the past year. When the density of the crystals and the temperature of the environment reach the limit, it will form raw water. Even in such an environment, only five to eight drops of raw water can be produced every year." Coffee said, staring at the ice core standing in front of him.

She took out the staff from her backpack, held the crystal stone on the top of the staff with her hand, and twisted it hard. With a "click", a short knife was pulled out. It was the one she used when she fought with Miga in the back mountain that day.

She held the dagger in both hands, chanting the spell at a high speed, and the crystal on the hilt began to shine blue light.

Then, a thin wall of water rose from the snow, like a sharp blade cutting from the bottom up, and cut into the ice core obliquely. As soon as the water wall came into contact with the ice core, a sharp tearing sound was heard, echoing in the empty frozen abyss. A piece of ice core fragment half the size of a person was cut off and fell to the ground, leaving a very smooth cutting bevel on the ice core.

"Awesome..." Jacques couldn't help but applaud. Fei'er had used this water wall technique, which was like a sharp giant blade, once before the trial began, but this time the range and power were even more amazing.

Jacques had never thought that someone could use the Water Wall Technique in this way. This magic, which was basically only used for defense, could actually become a sharp blade that could cut through iron like mud. With just one strike, the ice core could be cut open like tofu. It seemed that it would be easy to cut into the core and obtain the raw water.
