Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

Chapter 521: Great Snow Mountain Magical Realm

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

An ample amount of mana, backed up by practical incantations, was transformed into the essence of ice. This silvery-white magic power was injected into the clouds. Ice fairies were now dancing and singing all around Yongye City.

These winged fairies appeared to be teenage girls, thirteen or fourteen years old in physical appearance. However, they were only as large as my arm.

These elemental fairies weren’t actually born from the Elemental Planes. Elemental fairies were actually byproducts of elemental forbidden spells. It was said that the more beloved by the elements you were, the easier it would be to summon these elemental fairies. And, when these snow-white ice fairies danced in the sky, from a certain standpoint, this place became their own personal Elemental Plane.

“...I have crossed countless frozen tundras, witnessing the persistence of life and grandness of nature. I have also been immersed in the grandeur of icy rivers, and true beauty can only be found underneath the frozen river...”

This was no mysterious incantation at all. I was simply describing past scenes I had seen before. However, typical SemiGod mages casting a forbidden spell would only manage to produce one or two elemental fairies, while I had summoned more than one hundred.

All of them danced around Yongye City. Snow white powder formed a path of snow in the sky. It seemed that the ice fairies loved hearing my personal observations on nature’s ice.

“...In the north of the Northlands, I’ve passed over an eternal sea of ice as a member of the dead, yet sought to survive in a frigid cave. That frigid polar wind could freeze even souls. Luckily, I was able to see the beautiful aurora before I lost consciousness. On that snow white plains, the sky showed me its beautiful colors, a wondrous scene I’ll never forget...”

Normally, when a mage cast a forbidden spell, they would need to undergo some sort of ritual, or place a type of subconscious suggestion on themselves so that they could enter a better state for harmonizing with the elements. But as for me, nothing could put me more in tune with the ice element than my memories from that frozen tundra, as these memories were my best understanding of the foundational concept of ice.

The foundational difference between Saint-ranked mages and lower-ranked mages was that a Saint rank could directly use their will to influence the world. As I recalled and described my experiences in the frigid north where almost nothing survived, all the ice fairies came closer to listen to my story. And as I continued to reminisce and tell the story, the sky around us became colored with ice and snow.

“...He’s trying to use ice magic against us undead? How stupid could he be?”

A Ghost White Dragon arrogantly looked down upon the ice element that was gathering. He really stood out because the great majority of undead were running away in panic at the evident mana waves indicating a forbidden spell.

However, this Ghost White Dragon was an Undead Lord that didn’t even need to worry about its body temperature. And, since it was formerly a White Dragon in life, it still maintained a tremendous amount of ice resistance even in death. This Ghost White Dragon was quite right to look down upon any ordinary ice magic being used against it.

But suddenly, the Ghost White Dragon saw something it considered inconceivable. Amongst all the panicking undead, it actually saw a Winter Demon Undead Lord running for its life. Winter Demons could only be evolved from people that had frozen to death. They were the ultimate ice type zombie, and possessed their personal ice domains that would freeze any living to death. Not to mention, Winter Demons were ice grandmaster Undead Emperor Conservation’s most favorite troop type of all. How could a Winter Demon possibly be afraid of ice magic?

The next moment, the Ghost White Dragon understood that its surprise was meaningless. It also understood why the Winter Demon had been running for its life. The ice fairies laughed and chuckled as they approached the Ghost White Dragon and flew right above and around him. After their bell-like giggling was over, the Ghost White Dragon’s soulfire was frozen back to yesterday. Only some shattered shards of ice landed on the ground as it perished.

“An ice domain? No, an elemental world...”

Unfortunately, by the time that the Ghost White Dragon finally understood this, it was no longer in a state of being able to howl or scream.

This simple description of the extremes of ice actually managed to summon a tremendous number of ice fairies. These ice fairies helped to transform this entire world into an ice elemental world!

Everyone knew that there was no such thing in Eich as an Ice Elemental Plane. In fact, even ice elemental creatures were incredibly rare. Most ice element creatures didn’t even have their own home. They could only live in snow mountains like the Frigid Nightmares, and extreme northern frozen tundras or icy rivers.

But, after Hell was established, some thing started to foundationally change.

The Four Elements of Hell included the Concept of Ice as an element. And, Ice in Hell represented the natural law governing “Life”. That was to say, according to Eich’s natural laws regarding the already existing Four Elemental Planes, the Ice Elemental Plane would be created as a new sub-dimension connected to the new dimension of Hell.

However, Eich and Hell had been created differently. The Creator Goddess Eich had used the already existing Four Elemental Planes to create the mortal plane of Eich. Meanwhile, I had first created my Four Elemental Pillars as the support to establish Hell upon. If the Ice Elemental Plane could really be created, it would naturally be completely connected to the Pillar of Ice.

Obviously, if the Four Elemental Pillars were in total capable of creating four new Elemental Planes, Hell would become an even stronger dimension. And if Hell’s Four Pillars left Hell one day, transforming into Elemental Thrones for their independent Elemental Planes, then Hell would become a dimension that was equal to Eich in stability. At that time, Hell’s Four Pillars would no longer be Hell’s weakness, and Hell would survive through the eons just like the world of Eich.

And even without considering the distant future, controlling a newly born Elemental Plane represented an endless amount of power and resources. This was something absolutely beneficial with no drawbacks.

And so, as I was the representative in the mortal plane for the Hell Faction, right after I’d revived in the mortal plane, I went and visited the great snow mountain. Yes, the great snow mountain that had already been half elementalized into its own plane. The great snow mountain was where countless Frigid Nightmares and other ice element creatures lived, a place that no other life forms could tolerate. That great snow mountain was the holy ground for all ice element creatures which could help produce ice element creatures of SemiGod and above strength.

“Would you like to have your own personal Elemental Plane? If not, I’ll go and contact the Frostlight Tribe in the Polarlands instead... Fine, I know how passionate you are about this topic now. Please retract that annoying chill, since I’m currently a living person!”

Holy Light, Law, Death, and Ice. For now, I still had no method of creating the first two as independent Elemental Planes. For Death, I intended to steal a Death Plane from an Undead Emperor, but that was something that wouldn’t happen so quickly. However, I indeed had resources and personnel suitable for the creation of an Ice Elemental Plane.

With the half elementalized great snow mountain as the foundation, I simply used some of my powers to bury a portion of the Pillar of Ice in the great snow mountain, which helped to transform the great snow mountain into the new Ice Elemental Plane.

I should also mention that it was also thanks to Creator Goddess of Chaos Cynthia, who was now missing in the void and probably dead, that it was so easy to transform the great snow mountain. Since Cynthia had previously cut the great snow mountain off from Eich already, it became much easier to cut it off for real again. And, I had the assistance of the Creator Goddess of Order on my side, which basically meant I had been given the complete right to create a new Elemental Plane. It was actually quite easy to establish the new Ice Elemental Plane. And, ice elemental creatures and magical existences from other frozen lands heard the news, and also voluntarily joined the new plane, speeding up the process of the plane becoming independent.

The current great snow mountain was now half a dimension of its own that was half-connected. I had decided to call it the Great Snow Mountain Magical Realm for now. And since Aylos, the Pillar God of Ice, was unable to ever leave Hell, I naturally became the only possible ruler of the Ice Elemental Plane. I became the ruler of all ice elemental creatures and ice fairies!

I’d personally created Hell, and I ruled over the Ice Elemental Plane, making “Ice” into something similar to a Divine Concept. If you went by the Gods’ interpretation, it wouldn’t even be wrong to call the entirety of Hell my personal Divine Kingdom. And now, I had power over Ice similar to that of a Divine Concept, and since the Great Snow Mountain Magical Realm was still half-connected to the mortal plane of Eich, I could naturally borrow power from the Ice Elemental Plane.

Right now, as I continued my description of the extremes of ice, more ice fairies kept arriving. They weren’t attracted here by the superb ice mana being emanated by my forbidden spell. Instead, they were residents of my Ice Elemental Plane, summoned here by their ruler. All these ice fairies were a part of the newly born Ice Elemental Plane. Once a sufficient number of ice fairies gathered, the world around them naturally started elementalizing into part of the Ice Elemental Plane!

If you only looked at the physical effects, it would seem that the effects would be similar to a Saint-ranked ice mage’s personal ice domain. However, the true effects would be absolutely incomparable.

And so, a powerful Undead Lord with tremendous ice resistance like the Ghost White Dragon experienced a sensation as if it had personally entered the Ice Elemental Plane. Just like a fish out of water, its soulfire was instantly frozen solid as it sunk into eternal rest.

Right now, the current me was just like an Elemental God that was casting a forbidden spell of his own element in his own Elemental Plane! My very words contained magic power. I didn’t need any complex magical incantations. I simply needed to verbalize my own will. And, my words were an absolute command for these ice fairies!

“...The ice river shall never stop and never rest. If you gaze at it from above, everything is snow white...”

Ice fairies constantly danced everywhere. All the grass and trees outside of Starwood City’s radius started freezing to death. A white permafrost started spreading on the ground, coloring everything snow white.

“...The frigid blizzard gives no warning. If you walk into the blizzard, all the living shall be buried under the snow. The dead shall be eternally buried under the ice river. This is the rule of the great snow mountain...”

The ice fairies were still singing and dancing. Suddenly, without warning, a blizzard started in the skies. The aerial undead found themselves mysteriously caught within it, causing hordes and hordes to die eternally. And, the frost on the ground mysteriously had piles and piles of snow appear on top of it.

“...Yet, all of this is only the beginning. Once the ice age begins, it shall continue for hundreds of thousands of years, which is an endless amount of time for ordinary life forms. That is why this is when life will end...”

The ice fairies started crying tears of sadness that transformed into ice crystals in the air. This caused the entire sky and land to begin freezing over.

“...But, do not mourn, because the seeds of life shall hibernate within the ice river. The strongest species shall evolve in this season of ice and snow. New life forms shall rule the world again after tens of thousands of years. And, the majestic spell that shall accomplish this, is known as Ice Ae— damn it, why are you biting me, silly cat!”

I felt a familiar pain on my head that interrupted my incantation. Although I paused in surprise for a moment, I instantly realized why she did that to me. After my anger passed, I actually felt grateful to Harloys. I looked around and saw the current situation, and felt cold sweat running down my spine. I almost made a huge mistake that couldn’t be taken back.

“Do you really want to turn this place into part of the Ice Elemental Plane?”

Some things would be impossible to stop once started. Although I was extremely careful, it was still highly difficult for me to control such a powerful forbidden spell as only a Saint rank. If it wasn’t for the silly cat interrupting me, I really would have finished incanting the Ice Aeon spell. And, my current version of Ice Aeon was likely even stronger than my old Ice Aeon.

This was because I had obtained much in the battle for Hell. I also had new understandings and ideas about my original Ice Aeon. As long as I had some more time, I would likely be able to invent a new, strengthened Ice Aeon, or a branch magic related to it. I could feel myself rapidly increasing in ice element affinity and knowledge, and was filled with expectations for my future strengthened version of Ice Aeon.

But of course, since I really almost cast Ice Aeon here, I wouldn’t say anything that would give me a beating like “I’ll do better next time with an even more powerful spell” right now.

“...It was my first time using it, and I didn’t control the strength well. I’ll be more careful next time.”

“Next time? How are you going to clean up after this?”

I looked around and saw devastation everywhere. Harloys’ triple-layered forbidden spell had been the perfect crowd control spell, while my half-finished Ice Aeon incantation was a devastating attack that hit after the crowd control. All those Undead Lords that had happily come to the mortal plane, thinking they would feast on flesh and souls, had suffered serious losses.

Apart from that Desecrating Beholder and a few of the strongest Undead Lords of all, the entire undead army here had been completely eradicated. The few powerful individual undead that managed to survive all unhesitatingly ran as far as they possibly could. None of them were idiots, and they all knew that it was likely they would die here without even knowing how.

And, it wasn’t a very pleasant situation right now for the humans underneath my Yongye City. Luckily, they were right beneath us, and I had intentionally avoided Starwood City with my spell. While my half-finished Ice Aeon didn’t directly attack Starwood City, the temperature around Starwood City was rapidly decreasing, which meant Starwood City itself also experienced a wintry chill.

Starwood City was now in utter chaos. A cold breeze blew past as the soldiers on the walls, who were covered in ice and snow, hugged each other to obtain warmth. They were wearing rather light clothing for spring, which was completely unsuitable for the current temperature.

Yet, the ice fairies in the area didn’t return, nor had I finished using the mana support I obtained from the great snow mountain. If I just left this mana alone, it would soon disappear. And so, in order to avoid wasting this mana, and also as a way of apologizing, I had a flash of inspiration, and used the remaining mana and ice fairies on another spell.

“Are you certain that everyone will think that you’re apologizing, rather than trying to kill them?”

The silly cat knew what I intended due to our soul connection. As expected, she immediately tried to damper my enthusiasm.

“...It should be better to be slightly cold rather than being killed by undead. Besides, do you think I’d care what they think of me?”

“Of course... not. Right, try using my modifications to your spell. Your blueprint is too ugly!”

The silly cat showed great interest as she helped to modify my next spell. I was more than happy to have her help as it would mean less work for me.

“Sure, sure. Gold Elves are truly the most skilled species with magic after all.”
