Chapter 227: A husband's exchange in the frozen world!

As a man, Kyoya surely would be disappointed if he knew that he missed the queen's soft moans. However, he was already making his way towards the prepared underground with Xaya, Xiaoxiao and Rosa by his side.

Noe went to protect the house from above. There was also the queen within the bathroom, so it was obvious that someone had to keep an eye on their surroundings. She was also the one to propose this.

As Kyoya found it really helpful, he thanked Noe with a wide smile.

Then, the underground spread its interior to the husband and his party.

"So hot! It's like sauna."

"We also can have a sauna in our bathroom."

"Ah, that's true!"

Xiaoxiao and Xaya instantly exchanged small talks after the hot air hit their faces. It was really hot here down below, but why wouldn't it be? It was the hot fire continent, but also the queen's method was related to the fire! This underground couldn't be anything else other than sauna.

Kyoya felt like taking out the cold invader's body would be bad here, but this underground might also help him connect easier with the ice belief. It was also unlikely for the husband to thoroughly seal it as it was a unique belief used with the higher techniques.

Nonetheless, the time couldn't be wasted. The husband bet on the underground and his luck, then the invader's body left his inventory.

It hit the hot ground with loud sound, then the huge steam began to completely envelop the dead.

"Damn, this is so bothersome."

The husband raised his arm to cover his eyes instinctively as the steam exploded. His wife hid behind him while Xiaoxiao waved her spear similarly to Rosa who just couldn't take this much hotness.

As the coldness didn't seem to cool down, Kyoya barged into it and then took out his diamond card. This card was meant for the sealing and its value was pretty high. The husband also used the card from the wood of this floor, so it was pretty strong indeed.

The steam seemed as if being sucked into his card, but then the husband's mind shook.

He suddenly got swallowed up by the already familiar feeling.

This feeling was the same during Kyoya's meeting with the black crow, Wron. It meant that there was 'mind space' within the invader's body.

It was already suspicious as the invader was dead! Kyoya braced himself, took out his knife, then strode forward. He was also feeling it hard to move as his new location forced him to stay on the frozen lake.

This frozen lake was surrounded by the white forest. A puffy white cloud that seemed the coldest could be seen up above, but Kyoya's attention was all on the man with frozen blue hair. This man was sitting on the blue chair with his legs crossed. He wore white-bluish robes with frozen lines around his chest that went above his shoulder.

A smile lingered on his face.

"I have been waiting for you."

This smile clearly conveyed how relieved he was.

"Have you been waiting for me all this time?"

The husband asked, his caution high! A concept from the assassin's craft then secretly spread itself around him, but it only made the frozen man's smile wider. Of course, Kyoya noticed it and so he clicked his tongue.

This lake… was one of his enemies too!

"You played nimbly with my people using this concept. It was… a concept to use and alter enemies' awareness, was it? A strong weapon."

"..."

What kind of concept allowed someone to split one's consciousness and then enter the foreign body? The husband was curious too, but unlike the frozen man, his knowledge was lacking.

Nonetheless, the man took the silence as something else.

"Ah, yeah. We should introduce ourselves, shouldn't we? I am Lodden. That's the name I go on a bit higher floors."

"I don't feel like introducing myself."

"Haha, this consciousness can not pass the gathered information without me escaping this floor. As I was in your spatial treasure, I had no way of escaping. But, my plans aren't reduced to a mere escape."

"Do you believe you can kill me? If I want, then I can break this mind world."

"You surely can. And that blonde woman already told me about your name."

"Ah…"

Since the husband got silent out of sudden, everyone called him. It was not only Rosa who did so, but also Xiaoxiao who used his name. As the man could really see what was going on the outside, Kyoya clenched his knife in reverse grip, then prepared to jump.

But Lodden yet again surprised him. It was solely because he spit out the truth.

"I want to get that concept of yours. It might be possible to turn it into ice technique with this floor's irregular concept. Hmm? Don't look at me in this way. It is only natural for me to give back some information, right?"

"How courteous."

"It's also one of the highest concepts I have seen, so don't blame me for being greedy. Now, let's have fun. If you win, you might be able to find my people on this continent."

It was another reason why Lodden decided to just wait with his consciousness for Kyoya instead of trying to sneakily leave the invader's body.

But with all the husband's concepts, he already believed it was impossible.

Thus, what was left was fight.

The frozen man stood up from his chair, then raised his hand a little. After his fingers spread, a storm of small icicles began to circle around his palm! This storm was small yet the whole white forest began to shake!

The cloud up above also went in circles!

"You will be fighting against my party, not me alone!"

The husband wasn't that stupid to fight the man on his ground! He just had a hot sauna prepared on the outside, so it was time to break this mind world and put the man's consciousness into the dead body!

"Let's see how you will cope with the dead body."

"I will be fine. Instead, show me how you will break this mind world."
