CHAPTER 21 - SUCCESS

A day passed.

At last after performing a whole day planking while fighting the temptation of sweet slumber, I was able to unlocked [Cryokinesis] with my eyes under the spell of periorbital puffiness.

Seriously I really wanted to sleep but there's something that should be done and I can't afford to postpone it for the next day.

I quickly checked the list of skills under [Cryokinesis]--

1. Cryokinetic Invisibility - make oneself invisible near ice

2. Cryokinetic Regeneration - regenerate using ice

3. Ice Augmentation - increase amount and power of ice based skills

4. Ice Healing - heal using ice

5. Cryokinetic Construct - construct weapons of ice

6. Cryoportation - teleport using ice

7. Ice Transmutation - transform matter and object into ice

8. Ice Aura - surround oneself in ice

9. Cryostasis - place oneself in stasis

10. Ice Absorption - absorbs ice from the surroundings

11. Ice Storm - creates storm of ice.

12. Cryokinetic Maneuver - control object made or covered with ice

Seeing this list of new acquired skills, my heart was in a state of frantic. I first tried to use [Ice Absorption] on myself.

Once I activated it, the ice around me within a 3 meter radius turned into a stream of bluish white light as it entered in every pores of my body. The converted energy made my nanomachines inside excited as if I was experiencing a rush of adrenaline.

"Haha, this is great!"

It felt as if I was bathe in an essence similar to the Elixir of Life that could only be found at Shangri-La. My skin became smoother and my body felt it was strengthened by a fold.

The effects were astounding! It also made my eye bags disappear in an instant.

"Let's try another one. How about this one?"

As I activated [Cryoportation], a bluish white ring-like circle appeared below my feet and a just in a nanosecond I found myself on the area's frozen ceiling. Suddenly I quickly fell towards the ground but thanks to my quick thinking, I activated [Cryokinetic Construct] to create a large ice hand to caught me.

"That was dangerous yet exciting at the same time."

I beamed as I get off from the ice hand that I just created. Okay now, back to my main goal. I stared at the silhouette of the girl trapped in the unbreakable ice pillar with determination.

------

"[Cryokinetic Maneuver]!"

The ice pillar began to create a cracking sound as soon as I activated the skill. In my mind I pictured an imaginary force prying out the exterior of the ice tower. The walls that encased the poor silver haired girl began to crack open.

I tried with my utmost best to carefully maneuver pieces of the pillar's broken shards as not to harm the girl. I knew that a body under cryostasis are susceptible to external forces and are very delicate from my knowledge of my previous world.

When I finally removed any obstructions from the girl's body, I used [Telekinetic Maneuver] to drag her outside the cocoon. From my > I withdraw the extra winter fur cloak on the ground and laid her on top of it.

I was stunned for awhile when I saw her face to face. Her appearance is very accurate from my dream.

She had a long and straight silver hair up to her waist and pointy ears. Her complexion was somewhat white as snow yet pale and had a slim physique. Her lips even though was crisp from being encased in cold had a trace of smoothness. She wore a dark green jacket with some odd looking wavy designs on her left chest and a wood brown colored skirt.

She also had, surprisingly, a quiver with a few arrows and a bow on her back.

Looking at her I could tell that she's an Elf Ranger and the same age as me.

I quickly checked for her pulse and heart beat using [Mending]. They were weak but somehow it seems she's breathing. If I left her alone in this condition, she would die eventually.

I can't let that happen.

"[Heal]!, [Enhanced Condition]!"

Her body glowed in two layers of white and yellow light as I performed my buffing supportive skills on her. After that I created bunch of mini [Fire Ball]s around her to keep her warm and put around my winter fur cloak over her body. I just sat right next to her so that I could monitor her condition.

The radiating warmth would allow her blood to circulate much better. All I have to do now is wait.

A few minutes passed by.

To relieve myself from the encroaching boredom, I trierd to play with my [Cryokinesis] sub-ability but it didn't suffice. My eyes then glanced at the girl's face and somehow I remembered Vel on her.

I really wanted to go home. I really, really missed her.
