Leaving the lunatic behind, Hei Anjing and Zhi Yang rode on the back of the divine beasts and headed to the next layer under them. System Yang helped his master to scan around the whole land of Ice looking for the place where they could use to go down in the next layer.

They were currently in the Tenth layer where most players died and turned to ice human popsicles but for Hei Anjing who is loved by the ice essence and a Zhi Yang who is made from fire essence, they can move unhindered in this icy hell. They were unaffected by sudden changes in weather. As blizzards and hail would never be able to harm them.

One their way to the next layer the closer they are on the exit of Icy Hell, the more they see human players frozen in ice. There's even a small ice mountain of them, with numerous human players frozen inside.

Hei Anjing and Zhi Yang passed that mountain without any changes of expression on their faces. They were indifferent to other people or creatures' lives. As a God who used to live in the warzone, the scenes of death are a common sight for them. Much less to move a Mo Descendants of a stranger's death is impossible. They are born cold-hearted to anything in this world except for their family, friends, and loved ones.

Zhi Yang said, "They're a lot of them. Players that lost their lives in this layer. I've only thought this extreme coldness is the main obstacle in this land."

"If it's like that. It is too simple to be the 10th layer in Hell. There must be something else that makes this layer harder than the other layers above it." said Hei Anjing.

They walk past through the iced mountains and finally see the cave with an installed elevator.

Hei Anjing smiled as he saw what he had been looking for and murmured, "Found it. The way to leave this layer."

But before they could have approached the elevator the land under them had trembled.

Rumbles~ rumbles~ Rumbles~

There is the sound of huge footsteps coming over in their direction. Hei Anjing and Zhi Yang had longed to see it. Then a huge shadow falls on them from above. The two looked above and saw a towering ice monster looking down on them.

It's Snow Oni. A large Fanged Beast with both bear and Namahage-like features. It also has a pair of small round ears, and a snout that protrudes upwards and has a vaguely leaf-like shape (similar to certain species of bats), and on top of its head are four short, blunted. ice-like horns.

The majority of its body is covered in a coat of shaggy white and brown fur, whilst its face and legs are covered in thick, somewhat scaly armor, this armor is normally a pale blue but may turn red. Its head features two small eyes that burn a bright yellow color, have tiny horizontal pupils, and leave faint yellow trails in the air as the beast moves.

The hind leg feet of this Snow Oni resemble those of bears, having short toes with small downwards-curving claws tipping each, whereas the forelegs have much longer and less rigid digits, each tipped with a much longer claw than those seen on the hindlegs.

On its forelegs and hindlegs are several black, keratinous scutes, the feet each have five digits, but their appearance heavily varies between the fore and hindlegs.

Hei Anjing had an excited smile on his face as he tilted his head up to meet the eyes of the monster. He is really in the mood to move his body as he hasn't exercised yet due to his body being too sleepy most of the time.

"It's quite big. Not bad~" said Hei Anjing.

It was chewing something in his mouth and a pair of human legs were peeking out. The pair of legs were more slender than men have this is a woman player being eaten. Obviously, it is a carnivorous monster who loves to eat humans.

Hei Anjing went down of Snowy and Zhi Yang did the same thing.

"Yang, return to your avatar form. I feel some players coming over. Also bring back Snowy and Blacky inside," said Hei Anjing.

Zhi Yang lowered his back to show his respect and responded, "As you wish, Master."

As he went back to his little sun form, the two divine beasts were also brought back inside the dimensional space. Then System Yang floated towards his lord and saw him flexing his body as he made some stretching movements.

"It's been a while since I played with something a lot bigger than I do. I need to move a bit more than usual but that's fine~" said Hei Anjing.

ROOOAAARRR~

"Ah!!!! Run! RUN!!! It's a Snow beast!!!"

"Let me go! LET GO! MY BROTHER. My Brother was taken by that monster!!!"

"No way in hell! Your brother told us to bring you away while he sacrificed himself to give us time to escape!"

"No. no. NO! Big brother! Let me go. I want to go back. Let me go!"

But the male player who was carrying him ignored the little boy's pleas even when the little boy struggled as much as he could and hit the man's back. This male player doesn't intend to let him go to his brother's teammate. They had signed an ordinary contract for a shared platform.

Their group is composed of the brothers, Lu Ke and Lu Shi, Lu Shi is the little boy who is only 10 years old and Lu Ke is the elder brother who is a 25 years old adult. The male player is running away from Shi Lou, a friend, and teammate of Lu Ke. He is a middle-aged uncle in his thirties. There was another female player in her mid-twenties but was caught first when she ran ahead of the team to reach the elevator. She is now dead with her upper body already eaten by the Snow Oni.

Shi Lou carried Lu Shi like a back of sack on his shoulder and ignored the pain of being kicked and punched by the little boy. He didn't even once turn around to look at Lu Ke who was willing to sacrifice himself to save the two of them.

Frozen tears cover Lu Shi's face as he looks at his elder brother fighting alone the Snow Oni behind them. He could see Lu Ke swaying in fatigue as he was beaten back multiple times on the ground by the monster as if playing with a toy.

Lu Shi said as he cried, "Uncle Shi you're a Veteran Player from the Red Zone right? Why can't you save my big brother, wuwuwu~"

"...It's not that I don't want to save him. It's just... Even if I use my bloodline it is impossible for me to fight it alone. A Snow Oni is the Boss NPC of this layer. With its size alone, I couldn't fight it on my own. That's why I told you guys to look for other players first. Since there is no way for this Ice Hell layer to be simple as it looks. If only there is another veteran player or at least another player with an awakened bloodline I would be willing to risk fighting that monster." said Shi Lou.

Shi Lou was running away as he looked at the little boy in his arms and didn't notice Hei Anjing standing in front of them. Of course, the latter overheard their conversation and felt a bit moody thinking that this uncle is going to steal his toy.

Hei Anjing with a pouting expression on his face said, "Don't think about it, uncle. That thing is my toy~"

Shi Lou and Lu Shi both turned their head and saw a beautiful young man with pure black hair and deep blue eyes before them. His features were top-notched and they got unconsciously charmed by his appearance especially now that he is pouting cutely like a girl.

"A Player?" said Shi Lou.

The two only heard a snort and saw this young man with an exquisite face suddenly turn even more mystical. His short black hair turned longer and from black, it became pure white. His eyes which are like a sapphire gemstone suddenly fades and a pair of silvery irises with the same hue as moonlight replaced it.

Shi Lou was even more surprised. He himself had awakened a bloodline. But the bloodline he had awakened is only a common one. A lion beastman bloodline. It could enhance strength and speed. Using it would allow him to use the capabilities a lion would possess. During his transformation, his whole body would be covered in golden-colored fur and even his head would become that of a lion.

As a veteran player from the red zone, he had learned that bloodlines had different kinds of grades. His lion beastman bloodline is only common grade. But the gorgeous young man before him is different. Those elven features especially those long pointed ears of his and that white hair paired with silver eyes.

He had only heard it as a rumor. It is one of the rarest royal grade bloodlines and one of the most beautiful bloodlines there is among the elven race. To disguise his ability to control ice, he activated the bloodline of the Ice elves his System had given him. Surrounded by red snow and a mild blizzard, snowflakes fell from the sky. He looks so alluring and fantastic.

Shi Lou murmured in shock, "Ice Elves Bloodline!!!"

WHOOOSH~

The two halted their movements as they saw Hei Anjing make his move. With a single step of his, he can move as if floating with the wind. Within a few steps, he appeared before the Snow Oni. Using a float talisman that would allow him to fight for an hour, Hei Anjinh appeared before the Oni.

"Play with me~" said Hei Anjing before the Oni.

Lu Ke, who was caught by the snow oni in his hand, was covered in his own blood after being thrown to the ground multiple times. He had seen a light of hope when he saw Hei Anjing.

"A-An... E-Elf?" His voice was hoarse and trembling. His tears finally fell upon seeing that he could survive.

Hei Anjing made a scythe using his ice element. A beautiful huge scythe made of ice appeared on his hands. It was created on the spot using the ice elements under his control. He lightly glances at the half-dead human within the grasp of the Snow Oni.

"Still alive ha? Not bad~ but you are in the way~" said Hei Anjing while grinning evilly. He waves the scythe in his hand and cuts off the right hand of the Snow Oni.

Saving Lu Ke from its clutches but at the same time letting him fall on the ground without a care. Hei Anjing's eyes were only at that monster before his eyes. The Snow Oni, who had lost his arm, screamed in pain and staggered back for a moment.

AAARRROOORROOO~ historical

"HAHAHA~ Shut up!"

KICKED!

AAARRRGG!

Hei Anjing took this as an opportunity and kicked that monster away from the small cave where the elevator is located. Lu Ke while watching the scene saw is a huge monster who was being kicked away by such a beautiful young man and felt his heart pumping beyond his control. The strength and beauty Hei Anjing possesses are enough to seduce anyone who can see him.

Lu Ke mumbled, "So... Beautiful."

He already couldn't move his body and knew that falling to this height would kill him. But he was fascinated by the scene of Hei Anjing beating up the Snow Oni with overwhelming strength. He was love-struck.

Thankfully Shi Lou had expected this, he changed in his Lion beastman form. Lu Shi was hanging on his back holding on to the neck of the beastman while Shi Lou prepares to catch him before be Lu Ke fell to his death.

At this moment Lu Ke's face was imprinted with a smile. His big brother is finally saved though it wasn't by their hands as long his big brother is alive that's all that matters.

Lu Shi calls, "Big brother!"

"Stay awake, A'Ke," said Shi Lou.

After landing safely on the ground. Shi Lou placed the battered Lu Ke on the floor and didn't hesitate to exchange their gold coins for an expensive healing orb to instantly heal Lu Ke's wounds.

Groaning in pain, Lu Ke can feel his body healing at a fast rate, "Uncle Shi, who is that man?"

It was Lu Shi who answered, "We don't know. When we are running away we bump into him. He is alone."

"Maybe a solo player but... I haven't heard of a player with a rare bloodline like his. That's an Elemental Elf race with a rare element of Ice at that." said Shi Lou.

Lu Shi asked, "Is that beautiful big brother a ranker?"

"No. I knew the names and faces of the top 100 ranked players but this is the first time I've seen his face," replied Shi Lou.

Lu Ke said, "Maybe he is a newbie with huge potential. He is also extremely pretty~"

"Don't try it A'Ke. He is cold-hearted by nature. I don't know why he saved you but it wasn't his intention to save us. That Snow Oni was his target right from the beginning. He seems to treat this punishment world as an amusement park." said Shi Lou as he remembered that childish pouting expression just now. Hei Anjing looks like a playful yet overly pampered child who didn't even think of this place as dangerous.

Far away from them they could hear the Snow Oni's painful howls and screams mixed within that painful voice, a peal of playful laughter that sent chills directly to their souls. There is no need to guess who was the one laughing.

GROOOAA~

HAHAHAHAHA~
