Shadowslash could only approached it, the polar bear quickly became aggressive but it's growl and threatening gestures are just falls bravado, he then grabs it's head and put the meat on it's mouth, this action stunned the polar bear.
It also realised that the being in front of him is much more powerful than he originally thought, he tried to bite the hand that stretch unto it's mouth but realised that it's teeth aren't able to pierced through even the clothes.
Shadowslash patted it's head and jumps into its back while holding the seal, he use his spiritual sense to tell his intention, the polar bear was stunned but it doesn't mind being the mount of such a powerful individual.
The bear then advances towards the deeper part of the region, the seal snuggles on his arm comfortably, from time to time, he would feed the two with fish and it made the two extremely happy.
The whole journey was smooth until they reached the inner part of the continent, according to the bear, it seems that most of the monsters or beasts living on the inner part of this frozen continent were Xiantian beasts.
This doesn't faze him one bit, the bear doesn't know why but it's instinct told it that as long as the individual in front of him is present, it felt extremely safe, the seal also feels this way, the three have created a merry crew and they travel deeper into the frozen continent in a carefree manner.
Suddenly an ice giant with a powerful aura appeared, it let's out a deep roar towards the three, the polar bear froze in shock, it looks at it with vigilance but no fear, the seal looks at it with curiosity and nothing more.
Shadowslash looks at lazily and snorted, immediately half of the ice giant's body broke, the ice giant is an elemental creature, it should be able to regenerate it's body quite easily but it became confused because no matter how hard it tries, it's body doesn't regenerate.
Shadowslash patted the bear telling it to advance, leaving behind the confused ice giant which had to wait for an entire day before it was able to use it's ability to regenerate it's broken body.
The trio on the other hand continue on their merry journey, during the night, they would rest in the open, the polar bear felt that it was in heaven so did the seal, Shadowslash did not need to sleep because he could have half of his spirit sleep to rest his mind a little.
Half of his consciousness could be active but not too much because it would alarm the other consciousness, he was thinking of building a vassal territory on this place and build a portal that connects this continent to Thousand Forest Continent.
Clwyd would be able to easily reign in this place, with it's ability, it would be able to command elementals that are much weaker than him, it might even subdue dragon type beasts in this place.
He looks at the sky and was mesmerized by the aurora flashing above him, after obtaining boundless strength, he started craving to go to other worlds and mark his name in those worlds but moments like this is also nice.
Hentai suddenly spoke to him, it seems that she had been too preoccupied doing what she wants back on Thousand Race Empire, he doesn't blame her though, she is his other part, both in a literal and spiritual manner.
[Brother, it seems that I finally found the perfect name for myself! After traveling the kingdom for a while, I am now envious of all of you that are able to walk freely without any restriction.]
Shadowslash could sense the envy on her tone, he raised his eyebrow and realised that she started having emotion just like a real living being, he felt sad that she was stuck and wouldn't be able to freely live her life for more than a day.
He sighed, he then quickly change his mood, he doesn't want to sadden her more, he quickly asks "So what's your new name? Judging from your reaction, it seems that this name is very great."
[Secretary Amethyst!]
He was stunned, he gets the name Amethyst but why does she have to add the title secretary in front of her name, the corner of his eye started twitching but he didn't asks her and only said "I love this new name of yours, started at this moment, I will now call you Secretary Amethyst."
Even though she didn't say anything, she was feeling happy, this emotion of her and many of her thoughts came from the souls that Grim have purified, but this type of action is quite dangerous actually.
There is a chance that she would turn into someone else but fortunately, she can turn off her emotion, she also had an off switch that would automatically turn off all of her emotion once she reach a certain threshold.
Even though that this is quite sad, she was the one that had told him to do this and she is quite adamant on this condition, he couldn't do anything and only obey her wish but this only made him feel guilty.
He then looks at the sky and said "The sky on this place is quite beautiful, but if my strength isn't that great then this place would have been a frozen hell for me, this world is both harsh and beautiful at the same time."
Amethyst agrees with him, after obtaining emotions, she started to view things in an another direction other than the logical way, she had now realised why her brother/master have done things in the past that seems to be illogical to her point of view.
The night passes by peacefully, there were no monsters or beasts that have troubled them during last night, Shadowslash then rode the polar bear once again and they continue on their journey towards the center of the continent.
The seal started to become more attached on Shadowslash, it also became much more active, it would play around the snow when they rested, the polar bear have take it upon itself to guard the little fellow because of it's reverence to it's new master.
Shadowslash would play with the seal from time to time forgetting everything and relaxing, they didn't meet any hostile beings, the reason for this is because of the clones that were guarding the area around them.
The polar bear was actually confused why they didn't meet anymore opponent after the encounter with the ice giant, Shadowslash on the other hand started to become more disappointed because he hadn't encountered any beast that have even a hint of a high grade bloodline.
He then looks at the two and decided to check the bloodline of the two, just as he expected, the bear has no bloodline, actually it seems that it's current level is it's limit, unless it obtain a fortuitous encounter it wouldn't be able to advance into the next realm.
His eyes quickly widens as he sensed the bloodline inside the seal, he couldn't believe it but after realising just how much diluted it was, he started believing that it was real, the seal pup has a high grade bloodline but extremely diluted.
He started to become curious about it's parents, but he thought about it and actually realised that the bloodline inside the seal wasn't normal, it seems to be a variation, that meant that this seal was a variant.
A variant is a being that had received the blessing of this world but there are two types of variants, the lesser ones and the gifted ones, it seems that the seal pup was the former.
Even though it received a bloodline that would definitely help it's future, it would have a harm time increasing the density of that particular bloodline, Shadowslash decided, once he find a great place for Clwyd, he'll have him raise the seal.
While the three of them were playing, Shadowslash stops in the middle of their game and looks towards a certain location with shining eyes, he had sensed something and it seems to be a treasure.
The treasure is of no use to him, this world have just undergone it's rebirth, it wouldn't be able to give birth to treasures that would benefit Saints yet, but the appearance of a treasure would definitely draws the attention of all the monsters and beasts in the area.
Without hesitation, he grabs the seal and rode the bear and told it to run towards the direction of the treasure with full speed, the bear doesn't know the reason why he was very excited but it didn't mind, it ran in full speed.
Shadowslash realised that they are too slow so he jumps of the bear and grabs it using his tail before running towards the direction of the treasure.
Swish! With incredible speed, he only left an afterimage from their spot earlier, when they arrived at the location, the polar bear felt it's inside churning and it quickly started vomiting.
