Ding!
Ben and Dover have been killed by your companion!
Your level is now level 87!
“Fluffball?” asked Akira, who had been freed from the ice when the burning daggers had exploded against his shield.
“Roar!” said the large snow wolf as he started to haughtily strut towards Akira.
As Fluffball walked to Akira his body started to shrink back to his miniature puppy size and jumped into Akira's arms.
“Yap!” said Fluffball before falling asleep like the spoiled brat he was.
Akira quickly checked Fluffball's stats to see if something had changed:
A hidden special skill has been revealed!
Compression (Intermediate): Fluffball a super rare snow wolf has the ability to change his large size into a smaller compact and younger-looking puppy form(Weight is not affected).
While in the compressed form the user and their skills are weaker than in their full form. If this skill is leveled to the advanced level the restrictions will be removed.
“No wonder why you've gotten so heavy lately. You have actually grown even bigger than every other snow wolf,” said Akira as he pet the heavy Fluffball.
“Lord...a little help? We're all stiff from the ice,” said Dolph who had been standing next to Akira when the Ice wave had slammed into them.
“First...Klyn where are you?”
“I'm at the back with the other Shaman,” said Klyn in a muffled voice.
As Akira moved through the stiff soldiers he found Klyn and the other shaman and lightly smacked the ice on their arms body and legs.
“Klyn, I need you to help take care of those that were wounded from the boss' attack.”
“Sure, just let me get some feeling back in my legs and hands,” said Klyn as he wobbled unsteadily.
Akira and Klyn walked to the front of the group to start freeing the soldiers and guards while the other shaman took care of freeing the others at the rear.
Although the shield wall had been hit the hardest due to blocking the ice wall they found that there were no deaths due to the shields and armor that had the ice gems embedded into them.
“Ah! I can't feel my legs,” said One of the soldiers as Akira freed him.
Klyn bent over and inspected the man's legs tapping on them here and there.
“Is there something wrong with them?” asked the soldier.
“Not good. They're frozen solid all the way through. No way to save them. The best I can do is amputate them and save your life before the ice starts affecting other parts of your body. This might hurt...” said Klyn as he started working on the man's legs.
Everyone but three soldiers who had been standing behind the shield wall had been freed from the ice that had trapped them.
When Klyn finished amputating the man's legs and using his healing chant to help close the wound he walked over to the three soldiers that Akira was inspecting.
“Can they be saved?” asked Akira.
“No... they're frozen solid,” said Klyn after he finished inspecting the three soldiers.
“I am sorry for putting everyone in danger by working so close with the demigods,” said Akira as he held his helmet in his hand and looked at the three dead men.
“Lord there is no reason to apologize,” said Vilkas.
“I would say that this plan of yours was a huge success. I was able to get so much information out of them! Like several things about what they call classes and many of their skills, as well as famous demigods and deadly guilds that we should watch out for,” said Klyn as he looked over his notes.
“Don't worry so much,” said Mileena as she stood on tiptoes and kissed Akira's cheek.
“We need to hurry up and find a way to get out of here before they revive and start searching for us again. Anyone see an exit before the ice covered everything?” asked Akira.
The dead demigod's bodies had already disappeared into light fragments.
“I think I saw a hole under that big poi poi guy while he was hopping back and forth,” said Dolph.
“Lord! It looks like those Demigods dropped their weapons!” said a soldier as he pointed towards the spot that Ben and Dover had died.
Akira walked over to the weapons and picked them up.
Ding!

Blacksmith Poo's Failed Experiment (Common): This 2h sword was created by a dark secret group and was supposed to have a special skill but was thrown away by its creator after not showing any sign of said special skill.
Ding!
Requirements met!
Poo's Midget sword (ultra rare): This special sword has a personality embedded into it.
Its true form is that of a one-handed sword. But the midget sword has a complex about its size so it prefers to stay in the form of a 2h sword.
Special sword skill size change: This skill allows the sword to either be a 1h or a 2h sword.
Attack power depends on what form the sword is in.
“Oh, this looks better than my current sword. I guess I'll use it,” said Akira.
“Let me look at those daggers,” said Mileena.
“...”
“Can I have them?” asked Mileena after swiping them through the air a few times and activating the burn skill.
Akira nodded since she was the best person suited for the daggers.
“Sir there was a bow and a bag of gold over there,” said Dolph as he walked back over to Akira.
“Maya you take the bow. Split the gold with the rest of the soldiers and guards. Make sure to check the back of the room to see if the other demigod dropped anything,” said Akira.
Dolph nodded and handed over the bow to Maya and passed out the gold to everyone.
“Hold onto him,” said Akira as he handed the heavy sleeping Fluffball to Vilkas.
Akira walked to the center of the frozen platform and half transformed so that only his arms were full of black fur.
He began pounding the ground, cracking the ice bit by bit, slowly revealing a dark hole in the ground.
When the hole was wide enough he returned his arms to normal and hopped into the hole and landed in a small room with a black metal chest but no exit, and he did not have the key to open the chest.
“Poi!” A small black poiyoing jumped out from behind the black metal chest and tried to attack Akira.
“Slash!” Akira sent out a blue light slash attack and severed the attacking Poiyoing in half.
Ding!
You have cleared the dungeon by defeating the [Deadly cute Poiyoing].
Level up x5!
You are now at Level 92!

The soldiers, companions, and guards under your command have received a boost and have gained several levels.
Dolph and Vilkas have reached lvl 80 and have been promoted from soldier to veteran.
Fluffball has reached level 50!
The dungeon will reset after two months.
Clank! A black key fell to the ground beside the dead Poiyoing, and the exit portal appeared.
“So, you decided to hide here huh,” said Akira as he picked up the key and opened the chest.
Flash! A bright light blinded him for a moment as the lid was opened. When he regained his vision he could see the inside of the chest. He quickly picked up everything and inspected them.
There were three containers of deadly cute anti-aging cream, 200 gold, and a black gem.
Ding!
This Black gem is the Super rare first-time clear reward and is able to be equipped in one of the slots of your ordinary bracelet.
“Oh? What a lucky find! Wait...was this what the demigods were after?” Akira asked out loud.
Thump! Dolph jumped down next to Akira and looked around.
“Lord everything has been taken care of above. I found this staff at the rear of the room,” said Dolph as he handed over the weapon.
“Hmm, looks like it will be useful,” said Akira as he inspected the staff.
“We'll be leaving the dungeon immediately,” said Akira as he turned to the swirling light and activated the party exit.

“...I see. Those poiyoings are the vermin of the south. They are like rats in the warmer climates,” said Yuki after listening to Akira's explanation of what had happened.
Akira and along with everyone else had returned to the cave to discuss everything with Yuki and her grandfather.
“If I had been with you I could have stomped them all and made sure that this never happened. It was a dumb thing to fight alongside such vipers,” said Zundar unhappily.
“Trust me I won't be doing something like that again. They only know how to bite the hand that helps them. All Demigods can not be trusted, even the weaker ones must be crushed so that they can not attack us,” said Akira.
“You say that you gathered information on the Demigods? I hope you won't be keeping it all to yourself,” said Nollan.
“Of course not we are allies, so I will be presenting a copy of Klyn's notes to the King and Queen when we meet them to make sure negotiations go smoothly,” said Akira.
“Did you get anything for me to sell?” asked Burkin who had been silently listening.
“Lots of ores and interesting rocks. Oh right... Yuki here is something that I found in the dungeon Mileena and Maya already received one of them as well,” said Akira as he handed over the last container of Deadly cute anti-aging cream.
Yuki's eyes sparkled as she read the label but she only nodded her thanks to Akira with a cold expression not letting her happiness appear on her face.
Ding!
A bounty of 100 gold has been placed on your head by the Team Ultimate Ben Dover.
Defeat two bounty hunter teams to remove the bounty and gain the reward. A bounty can only be placed on someone once every thirty days.
“We need to leave before they return with even more people. I have a feeling that it will be busy around here for a while,” said Akira.

“We've almost reached the ice forest which we need to pass through to get to the capital of IsKald,” said Yuki.
“TOOOOT!” “TOOT!” BAM! BOOM!”
“Sounds like something is attacking the long nose ice tooters!” said Nollan in panic.
“The what?” asked Akira.
“Hurry! We need to make sure that they don't die. They are an ally of our race and help us out with lots of things,” said Yuki urging Akira and the others to go faster.
“Chack, Mileena, Maya, stay here and protect gramps, Burkin, and the sleds. Well go ahead and take care of whatever it is,” said Akira. With a short whistle, the sled convoy stopped and Akira and his guards hopped off of their sleds all transforming.
“Zundar carry Yuki with you and follow me,” said Akira who had fully transformed into his werewolf form.
“Lord your orders?” asked Vilkas in his deep growling voice.
“Kill everything that isn't an ally,” growled Akira before leading the soldiers forward in a swift run.
Zundar with one arm scooped Yuki up and slung her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and started running after Akira while carrying his new large hammer in the other hand.
