The Fire & Ice Emperor
Guard Something

He threw a food supply far back so that his movement was much freer. Then he stretched out his hand. A speck of water touched the surface of Alta's hand, causing the flood in the cave to suddenly freeze with a strong enough splice. It also propagates to the source of the snake's mouth which also immediately freezes.

Meanwhile, it was completely dark. Fortunately Alta was able to see the situation around even dimly. That was why he could attack the snake carefully and also vigilantly.

So for now he lit a fire in his hand to see what really happened. And, when the fire was already on, he was a little stunned as the ice he created after freezing the flood water of the snake formed a quite formidable scene.

Beautiful with sparkles that spoil the eyes. Especially after Alta lit a fire in her hand, the shadow of the flame created bounced off so that it made anyone quite amazed. Only, the snake with its frozen mouth was a bit of a sight-destroying for Alta himself.

The unmoving snake hissed loudly, trying to move its body repeatedly resulting in a powerful rumble. His mouth was also detached from Alta's ice clot so he hurriedly wriggled on the slippery ice.

But it was quite difficult when the snake was moving, just that the movement of the snake was enough to cause rumbles and cracks so that Alta had to keep retreating backwards so as not to be hit by something she did not want.

“Es: Frozen concentrated rage!”

Alta swung her hand as she jumped backwards with strength far enough away. The technique released was none other than removing dozens of ice crystals that shot out like bullets towards the snake.

Unfortunately, a horizontal burst of water became a shield, so the ice crystals belonging to Alta were unable to do any damage. But who would have thought that the water shield froze after being exposed to the frozen solid from Alta?

“Fire: Fire blow inferno!”

Alta again leapt forward, where she dealt a powerful blow to destroy the frozen shield. But unfortunately the snake moved in front of Alta while showing its sharp teeth.

“Sial! This snake is very troublesome.” Alta.

But it wasn't Alta if she gave up in one move. An ice wall was created after he exhaled a cold breath. So that the spray of poison coming out of the canine teeth was able to be blocked quite well.

Not stopping just like that, Alta moved towards the side. Then he touched a cave wall steadily while trying to bring out a technical ability.

“Es: Frozen Explosion!”

From the wall it blew up an ice which was emitting a fairly strong ice crystal. Even almost filled the contents of the cave so that it was able to stab the snake. As a result, the snake makes a sound that is quite ear-splitting so that the cave is rumbling.

Even that frozen explosion was not just once or twice. Even three times that make the giant snake can no longer move freely because its movement is trapped by explosive ice.

Alta smiled in satisfaction, then she would attack the snake with her last attack. He clapped both of his palms. This is a simple technique that does not require practice. It's just that, since this was in a fairly narrow terrain, then this simple technique would become quite deadly.

The count of seconds, the heat propagated even Alta felt it. So he took a few steps back to see a pretty horrible looker.

After a while, the fire went out. The surrounding ice became a puddle of melted water. It also becomes water vapor that makes this guan more moist. Moreover, he could see the snake was helpless with its charred outer body and with its matured flesh.

“Huh, finally done.” Alta sighed with pleasure.

Finally he could be calmer for having defeated this guardian snake. So that he did not think, what heavy obstacles will happen in the future.

Nevertheless, Altair pondered, while his worries grew about the possibility of another, more dangerous elemental beast in this cave. “I-it?” alta's focused gaze was fixed on a passage down near the snake earlier.

Only then did he remember that there was indeed a passage down with a much smaller size. But at that time he did not want to enter it because there was no way out of it just back down.

And for now, he suddenly became quite curious. So Alta moved down the hallway with caution and caution. Because it does not rule out the possibility of something much more terrible.

Alta sighed deeply before finally moving towards the passageway downwards carefully. Each step is taken with vigilance, ready to face whatever might await him there.

The downward passageway was pitch-black, darker than the previous section of the cave. Only the faint rays of flames that were still burning in Alta's hands illuminated his path. His steps are getting slower, every time he is ready to survive any threat.

When he reached the end of the hallway, he was surprised to see something that made him fixated.

Where there's a prison, yeah, it's even bars. It made Alta frown her forehead and feel quite confused. Why are there iron bars here? Could it be that there was indeed something that made the snake guard this place?

“Ular that is here keeping something is not without cause.” Her thought.

Then he further raised the fire that was in his hand to look at something. The frown on his forehead was quite visible, as the firelight illuminated an object that seemed so clear on the ground.

It moves when there is light. Who would have thought that would respond? But Alta was not at all surprised to realize that it was an animal. More precisely an animal with an orange color and long ears that is none other than a fox.

The fox stared at Alta. Small, tiny like a sapling. But it was really thin that made Alta herself really very concerned. He thought, how long has this fox been imprisoned in such a low-air place?

“Elemental beast?” Alta surprised. The fox stared at him while letting out a fire on his tail. He became curious, what was the cause of the snake imprisoning this fox?

But certainly not just a day, or maybe it has been decades this fox is imprisoned. This causes the fox is unable to grow because it does not get the intake of other elemental nuclei.
