Chapter 1222: Ilveina the Silent, Progenitor of the Frostborn race and Ruler of the Ice Caves.

<Attention to all residents of Limbo and the dungeons! The Ice Caves have been conquered by the First Challenger! ...>

The announcement sounded three times.

In Limbo, unlike Junonia, due to the time difference, not much time has passed since the first announcement.

Like the first, the second announcement took everyone by surprise. Another Forbidden Zone was conquered... No, Conquered.

After a long silence following the first announcement, the Challenger finally took a new step.

The events that everyone has been waiting for are slowly but inevitably unfolding. And the second announcement proved that.

In the very heart of Limbo, namely in the Lava Lake, where one of the two remaining temples appeared this week, a strong earthquake occurred that lasted for a long time.

It seemed that the Lava Lake itself couldn’t contain its anger over this announcement.

Unrest also occurred in the remaining six Forbidden Zones, but on a smaller scale.

Without a doubt, this affected all Supervisors without exception.

The culprit of all that was happening was looking at the Temple.

It was definitely a temple belonging to him. He had no doubts.

"Has the Temple really moved here?" he wondered. "What about the Forest of Doppelgangers?"

While he was wondering, Supervisor said:

"From now on, the Ice Caves recognize your authority, First Challenger."

Nemo turned to her, and, meeting his gaze, she continued:

"But make no mistake: this is still my territory, and I will manage it. You have no right to directly order its inhabitants. All your orders should be addressed to me and relate exclusively to Inheritance. Do not forget: You’re just a Challenger for now, not the true Heir."

That is, the Ice Caves formally belong to Nemo, but the actual power inside them remains with the Overseer.

That explained a lot to Nemo.

He had been thinking about it for a while. After passing the trial and taking possession of the Temple and the Forbidden Zone, he did not have the power that Idan and Arabel had over the Kingdom.

Although he already has a personal territory inside the Forest of Doppelgangers, the entire Forbidden Zone is still Geminia’s personal territory.

Yes, he could order her, but only as part of the trials of inheriting the Throne of the World King. His power does not extend beyond its borders.

But what happens if he becomes the true Heir, and then gets the Throne and becomes the World King? Will all the Forbidden Zones become his territory, like a Kingdom?

What about the Supervisors?

They were all Rank 9 creatures, and it was unlikely that they would obey him, an ordinary Diamond-ranked creature.

Nemo nodded to Supervisor, indicating that he understood her.

Then, after a moment’s hesitation, he said:

"I’m sorry, but I haven’t introduced myself to you yet. My name is Nemo."

"May I know how to address you?" he asked politely.

Supervisor showed something like a smile for the first time before introducing herself:

"Ilveina the Silent, Progenitor of the Frostborn race and Ruler of the Ice Caves."

"Ilveina..." Nemo repeated to himself, trying to remember this name.

He couldn’t help but notice that, like Geminia, Ilveina was the Progenitor of an entire race. This led him to wonder: what about the other Supervisors of the Forbidden Zones?

Dismissing these thoughts, Nemo looked at Ilveina and asked:

"Could you bring the others here?"

Ilveina just nodded, and after a few seconds, a blizzard swirled around them. When it cleared, Lina, Lucinda, Milena, Hailey, Irene, Arslan, and Ned appeared in front of them.

They looked around, puzzled, and when they saw Nemo, they breathed a sigh of relief. And only then did they notice a familiar temple.

"This is the temple!" exclaimed Hailey.

Everyone heard the announcement and was glad that their efforts were crowned with success and they conquered the Ice Caves.

Only Lina seemed a little sad.

Thanks to the care of Lucinda and Milena, her wounds have almost completely healed.

However, none of the elements of Light could repair her shattered sword.

Lina was saddened not so much by the loss of the sword itself, but by the disappearance of its "will". It originated in the blade many years ago, grew and grew stronger with her, gradually turning the sword from a simple weapon into her faithful partner. Now, clutching the surviving hilt, Lina felt nothing.

She didn’t know if the "will" of the sword had perished along with the blade or was still lingering somewhere inside the wreckage. And it was this uncertainty that bothered her the most.

And then a message from System appeared in front of her:

[Champion. The will of your sword has not disappeared. It can be returned]

"Really?" Lina said out loud, which attracted everyone’s attention.

"Oh, I’m sorry," she quickly apologized and repeated the question in her mind.:

"Is that true? Can the will of the sword be returned?"

[Yes, Champion, that’s true. You did the right thing by picking up all the pieces]

[Take what’s left of your sword to your Host. She’ll understand what needs to be done]

"Should I take all this to Arabel? Okay," Lina nodded, and her mood instantly improved. She found hope to get her partner back and couldn’t hold back her gratitude.: "And thank you, System."

System did not react to her words in any way.

Nemo noticed how quickly her mood changed, and when he saw her smile, he smiled behind his mask.

Soon, the group entered the Temple and found themselves inside a familiar space.

When they turned to the entrance, they found a switch in the form of a sphere, which allowed them to choose between the Forest of Doppelgangers and the Ice Caves to open the exit.

This allowed them to realize that the Temple now existed in two places at the same time, but its interior space was one. Thanks to this, they could easily move between the Forest of Doppelgangers and the Ice Caves.

"Let’s go back to the Kingdom," Lucinda suggested, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Then they turned their gazes to Ilveina.

"Do you want to come with us? To the Kingdom?" asked Nemo, and without waiting for an answer, he added, "Geminia is there."

Upon hearing the familiar name, Ilveina, after some thought, agreed.

Everyone used the Permanent Access Portal located inside the Temple and entered one by one.

As soon as Nemo crossed the threshold, the Kingdom shook.

Idan, who was in the process of training, and Arabel, who was in the time room, received notifications at the same time.:

[Ding! The unripe Seed of the Ice Law resonated with the Ice Law of the Ice Caves]

[Ding! The seed of the Ice Law has matured into the Seed of the Ice Law of the two worlds]

[Ding! The Ice Elemental Tree resonated with the ripened Seed of the Ice Law]

[Ding! The Kingdom has found its first rudimentary Law, the Ice Law of the two worlds]
