Chapter 715 Sculpture Business Plan

Imperial Army Hidden Camp

Cudjour Mountains

July 6th

Year 1053

Evan was seated in front of an Ice Sculpture. Well; it was actually a frozen monster.

Its expression was quite strange; as if it was about to roar, yet was frozen in that instant.

"No...this does not seem nice."

The boy snapped his fingers and the ice melted, allowing the monster to let out its roar, releasing a shockwave that shattered the empty bottle next to Evan.

Evan didn't care about the bottle since he had finished its contents, and Kayla who was nearby silently told the monster to thank its stars that he had, otherwise it would be faced with 'Demon Evan'—the form of an Evan whose strawberry drink was spilt.

Mid-Roar, Evan poked the monster's nose with his finger and the monster's body was frozen solid in an instant.

Naturally, the Monster's roar had been heard by all who were nearby and Heather jumped into the scene, only to see Evan in front of what appeared to be an ice statue.

"Evan...what are you doing?"

"Oh, Hello Heather."

After greeting the Princess, he gave a reply to her inquiry.

"Someone gave me the idea to 'start a shop to sell ice and rock sculptures with rare and realistic expressions for some passive income' and I thought...why not?"

Heather's eyes narrowed as she looked at the ice statue in front of her before asking.

"I don't think that's what they meant when they said 'Sculptures'. They probably meant the kind you make with a Hammer and Chisel."

She quickly figured the ice statue in front of Evan was the current form of the monster who had roared earlier.

"Huh? Then how would I get the 'Realistic' expressions?"

As Evan spoke, he poked the inside of the monster's mouth and sent a pulse of destructive energy inside it.

Heather flinched instinctively when she felt the crimson-coloured aura, but Evan didn't seem to pay her reaction as he held out a dagger and cut a hole in the ice, poking the monster's skin with it and activating the skill he stole from Maude.

Since the monster was now dead, Evan turned its internal organs to stone, before doing the same to its skin.

As she watched this phenomenon that was occurring to the monster through the half-transparent ice, Heather silently added 'Petrification' to the list of skills she knew Evan had.

"Perfect."

Evan remarked as he added another layer of ice around the monster before getting up and asking Heather.

"How much do you think a noble would buy this for?"

Heather silently turned her gaze towards what was once a leopard-type monster and shook her head.

"Besides eccentrics, I don't think anyone's gonna even want to buy it, knowing where it came from." Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

Evan gave her a strange gaze in reply to her words before his lips suddenly curled up into a smile.

"They'll never know.

They don't need to know."

For some reason, Evan's smile scared her quite a bit. The boy chuckled when he saw her reaction before using ice to craft an elevated platform for the ice statue and then spoke.

"A Life-Sized Monster Sculpture with an added Bonus of Master Level existence durability. Even if the whole town is destroyed, you can rest assured that the Sculpture would be intact!

It's perfect to decorate your house with, right?"

The boy laughed to himself as he returned it to his inventory, planning to take it out when he was back in the GWE and make a start-up out of it.

While he was doing that, another figure was watching the battlefield from above.

It was a muscular young man with wavy brown hair and eyes, along with slight facial hair.

He sat on what looked like a throne as he surveyed the battlefield with his eyes, scanning dozens of kilometres in a second and analysing the state of the fight.

Wherever he saw Wolfen's Army on the advantage, his lips curled up into a small smile but when he saw the Imperial Forces pressing forward into Cudjour, his smile disappeared and he clenched his fist laying on the throne's armrest.

If there was one other thing to take note of, it was the fact that this man's vantage point appeared to be one of the peaks of the Cudjour mountains.

But even if one were to go there, they would neither see nor sense a thing, after all, this man was not in the same 'Space' as the normal world.

He was in an Alternate Space, one with slightly differing yet overlapping coordinates with that of the main world.

For example, if the spatial coordinates of the mountain peak were 11:22:33:44, then the coordinates of the alternate Space he was in were 11:22:33:45.

A slight difference that gave a not-so-slight result.

As for the identity of this man who was viewing this battle from this Alternate Space, it was naturally the one the Wolfen Cabinet members referred to as 'Sir Esoti'.

Existence Level: Superior Legendary!

He was the strongest of Wolfen's few 'Living Legends', and from his ability to enter Alternate Spaces, it could be seen where his power lay.

"Should I? But if I do, the Beast Kingdom may intervene..."

On Aidos, there were restrictions that prevented Legendary Levels and above from participating in International Conflicts. Each Legendary Level could sink an island to the bottom of the ocean if they wanted, so having people with this kind of power fight Wars was just asking for unnecessary devastation.

These restrictions were set down by the Transcendents, and breaking them came with sanctions.

In the case of the current GEE-Wolfen War, Legendries affiliated with either country were not to make a move, unless one side was facing a threat of total Annihilation.

However, that was not the case here as the GEE was trying to 'conquer' Wolfen, not 'destroy' it.

If Esoti intervened in this conflict which only had beings of the Epic Level and below involved, then not only was he going to be sanctioned, but it also meant that the GEE could deploy their own Legendries without reserve.

The rule was that if one side sends out a Legendary, then the other need not hold back any forces of similar levels of power they had.

As a World Power, the GEE naturally had over 100 Legendries at its disposal. This excluded the hundreds more who were adventurers and not affiliated with the nation's government.

Wolfen on the other hand, didn't even have up to 20; and among them, Esoti was the only Superior Stage.

The man was thinking of taking advantage of his Alternate space and acting fast enough that no one would realise he had done a thing. After deliberating it for a few minutes, he sighed and spoke to himself.

"I can't let Wolfen become a GEE Vassal...!"

As he made his decision, rising from his throne with resolve, a resounding voice echoed through the Alternate Space, halting him in his tracks.

"If I were you, I would sit back down."

"?!"

Esoti's eyes darted towards the source of the voice, but they widened in disbelief as the temperature around him skyrocketed

Since he was at the top of a 6000+ m tall mountain, the air was supposed to be cold and he was meant to be surrounded by ice and snow.

But in mere seconds, the chill of the mountain air had been replaced by blistering heat, making him feel like he was in the middle of a Desert at the peak of Summer.

The snow that once blanketed the terrain had disappeared without a trace.

The cause of this was the man who casually walked up to Esoti; a middle-aged looking man with brown, short brown hair clumsily hanging over a chiselled, cheerful face. He removed his pair of brown tinted glasses to reveal a pair of deep grey eyes and then spoke.

"It wouldn't be a wise decision, Esoti."

Esoti ignored him and looked around, spotting two other new entrants in the Alternate space. Both of them were Legendries, at the Intermediate Stage.

He was confident in defeating both of them with ease, but if the grey-eyed man joined the mix, then his victory chances would plummet.

"What are you doing here, Human Flame?"
