Although Sylph was under Leon's command, the sand storm didn't lose strength... it was probably a variation of the weather after the planet managed to absorb so much mana from monsters. Regardless, it wasn't a problem for Leon. Now that his Wind Resistance reached the level two hundred and fifty, the effects of the sand storm were bearable.

"Since I'm here, I guess I should make good use of Wind Armor."

"That is a good idea," Sylph said.

Leon froze for a second, wondering if Sylph would always read his mind and answer his thoughts... that was a violation of his privacy, after all. Regardless, it was another price he had to pay for power... he had to listen to a childish spirit now and then.

Wind Armor effects were similar to Electric Armor, but instead of increasing the power of Thunder skills and spells, it increased the power of the ones of the wind element.

A few hours later, Leon was back to Ilyana's castle, and he frowned when he looked at the place she was supposed to be. Instead of a woman that very long air and a messy appearance, Leon saw a world-class redhead beauty, her hair was long, but not as long as Ilyana's. It only extended until the middle of her back. Her eyes were light-blue, and she had quite a well-toned body... despite not moving around all that much. However, Leon was more interested in her pointy ears... it looked like ears of an elf, but elves Leon knew were all blond or had gray hair. He, in fact, didn't know any elf, Leon only saw them in movies and games.

"Oh, you are back," Ilyana said. "You returned faster than I thought, and it looks like you even managed to convince Sylph to work for you."

"What is the occasion? Is someone coming to visit you?" Leon asked.

"No, I just feel like cleaning myself," Ilyana answered. "You can joke about it if you want given my previous messy appearance, I don't mind."

Leon had no right to judge other people's appearances, he spent four years on an island wearing only rags, after all. Besides, he also lived a parasitic life inside the galactic snake. Still, Leon could easily imagine himself living a similar lifestyle like Ilyana's. He would at least take a bath once three days, but that wasn't enough to consider himself as a person who likes to take showers... Leon didn't change all that much since his teenage years.

"Well, what spirit do you want to look for now?" Ilyana asked.

"I was thinking about the spirit of ice," Leon answered.

"All right, then," Ilyana said. "Touch the crystal and then look for the tallest mountain at the East of the place you will appear. The place will be covered in snow, but you should find a cave. You will find the spirit's temple inside of it. Don't try to attack the mountain, or the spirit won't give her powers. You will also have to patient."

"Why would I attack a mountain?" Leon asked.

Before Leon could finish his sentence, he was teleported again. Since he was already familiar with that process, he just touched the purple crystal in front of him, while wishing that he soon would learn Teleport. Such thoughts instantly disappeared when he found himself in the middle of a snowstorm like no other. Leon couldn't even keep his eyes open without feeling the snow hitting against them.

"I guess I was wrong that the spirits don't care about the weather of the worlds they are or rest..." Leon said while he was starting to tremble. "Achoo!"

Leon could only pray that the spirit of ice would increase his Ice Resistance up to the max level. Still, somehow, he had the feeling that even if that happens, his sensibility for cold won't decrease...

"There are elementals everywhere... I didn't find any monster on that planet. Does that mean Ilyana hunted them all down? That probably isn't the case. She would have noticed if there weren't any more monsters for her to hunt."

Before the snowstorm could turn Leon into ice-cream, he decided to move east and look for the mountain Ilyana mentioned. Leon started to move, and then he began to suffer damage from the Electric Armor instead of the piercing and hellish cold of that planet. Leon's boots finally disappeared after he used Mana-Eater so many times, and now Leon started to consume the mithril of his breastplate.

After a few hours flying, Leon finally found and mountain and also understand why Ilyana said not to attack the mountain. It was because the temple of the ice spirit was inside of a massive monster that had a huge chunk of Earth on its back.

"Is that a turtle? It kind of reminds of me of some monsters that I found in some games..." Leon frowned.

The creature had the size of Ilyana's castle, and since he saw the very moment, the creature was taking a step; her warning was useless. But soon Leon understood he just got lucky... after taking a single step, the turtle stopped to rest.

"I can't blame that creature... if I had its size, moving around would be a huge pain in the ass."

Although the creature was massive, it didn't look violent. Since Leon couldn't attack it either, he didn't even waste time using Appraisal. He just started to look for the cave he would have to use.
