The Experimental Log of the Crazy Lich

“…I have previously crossed countless ice plains, witnessing the hardiness of life and grandness of nature. I have previously been allured by the magnificent beauty of the ice river. True beauty can only be found in the frozen ice underneath the ice river…”

On the battlefield, my passionate voice was exclaiming over the hardiness of life and describing my understanding of the ice river. This long incantation was finally nearing its end. My deep voice was guiding all the living in this blizzard that now obscured vision entirely.

All the demons instinctively understood that once my voice finished incanting, everything would end.

If they wanted to survive, they would have to stop me from saying anything more!

However, the demons’ path to survival was blocked by even more newborn ice element creatures. These countless snow monsters, ice magical beasts, and various other ice element creatures were spawning endlessly.

In any other location, it would be impossible for newborn elemental creatures to resist against the demon wave. However, in this unique location, these newborn elemental creatures were capable of using the power of the ice element to completely suppress the demons that were no longer able to use their fire element abilities.

“…Even farther north than the Northlands, I was already dead as I crossed that eternal sea of ice. Yet, I still struggled for survival in those extreme frigid caves. The fatal arctic winds there could freeze even the soul. I was fortunate enough to witness the beautiful aurora there before I fainted. On those snow-white plains, the skies displayed such magnificent beauty that I will never forget it…”

All of this was my previous understanding of ice and snow, and part of the original Ice Aeon’s incantation. However, what came after was slightly different.

“…In that land of reincarnation before the void, ice is the foundation of all life. For undead spirits, every ice crystal will be flesh and blood. Bodies of flesh and blood are no different from bodies of ice and snow. The secrets of life will be unraveled by ice and snow…”

The most common magic spells in the mortal plane were of the four elements of water, fire, earth, and wind. These four elements were the foundational source of all magic spells. The foundational reason for this was that these four elements made up the entire world of Eich. The natural laws of the elements finally developed into Eich’s modern-day science and civilizations. Research into the secrets of Eich and how the elements worked had also created elemental magic and a glorious magical civilization.

However, the world of Eich was no longer the only main mortal plane.

Death, Law, Ice, and Holy Light. These were all previously extended or combined Concepts of the four main elements, but now, these four Concepts were the four major elements of the world of Hell. They were all equivalent to the water, fire, earth, and wind in Eich. Hell’s four elements would become easier to access and more ubiquitous every day. The fact that these four elements would become easier to access would greatly increase the number of users of Hell’s four elements, along with improving these four elemental magic types’ effectiveness, functions, and so on. Furthermore, as their users and the magic spells improved in power, Hell’s four elements would also gain more and more related Concepts.

Although explaining the theories behind all this would be quite complex, showing by example would be quite simple. Hell’s new version of Holy Light had gained the additional function of being the Light of Salvation. Law and Death had combined with each other and gained many new abilities such as Hell’s power of judgement that could instantly judge and even punish an individual with death. Meanwhile, the element of Ice now represented the life and power of undead spirits in Hell. A new Concept and effect was also born—Ice Life.

The Great Snow Mountain Magical Realm was a newly created Ice Elemental Plane. The Frigid Nightmares there had already begun a complete new evolution. Ice magic, which was originally only an extension of water magic, had now become more and more independent.

And when certain spells were capable of using power from the Elemental Planes, ice magic and skills would increase in power even further. The most obvious change was already known to everyone.

“Summoning and creating ice type creatures and magical puppets is now much easier than before. Pure ice element creatures are now possible. It’s quite easy to help ice and snow gain their own sense of self and will. It’s also become easier for undead to evolve after gaining bodies of ice.”

These were new maxims of the world that mages had recently discovered. However, ice mages weren’t that common in this world at all, so the effects weren’t that obvious. The most obvious change would be that ice mages were now capable of summoning some extra ice elemental creatures as meat shields, and that more undead mages would also study ice magic. However, as I was the most famous undead mage and ice mage in the world, my personal forbidden spell naturally incorporated my new knowledge.

“…Ice Aeon is about to begin. This will be a paradise for all life forms of ice and snow…”

My modified incantation contained my newly gained understanding of ice. The ice element, a byproduct of my forbidden spell, was developed even further as countless additional ice element creatures were created. Ice and snow gathered together as they naturally opened up an elemental portal. On the other end of the portal was a familiar endless snow mountain—the Ice Elemental Plane I had previously created, the Great Snow Mountain Magical Realm.

This portal wasn’t an actual dimensional portal. However, the higher-level ice element creatures had imprinted their own lives upon this portal. This basically meant that they had anchored their own souls in the Ice Elemental Plane, so even if their physical bodies were destroyed, it would be the same as if a Fire Elemental Lord died in the mortal plane—they would simply be sent back to the Ice Elemental Plane upon death.

Not only that, this elemental portal was also helping the ice element creatures to evolve even further! Under this portal’s illumination, many more elemental creatures gained sentience. They even started evolving of their own volition.

By now, Ice Elemental Lords had succeeded in appearing. That gigantic ice phoenix which had spawned several hundred smaller ice phoenixes had already obtained her own true name from the Ice Elemental Plane. She had even successfully gained a human form!

Her human form of ice and snow wore an extravagant crown made of ice crystal. Every time that she waved her icicle magic staff, piercing icicle rain would fall down from the sky. Everywhere that her ice phoenix subordinates passed by, the entire areas would become sealed in ice. Any demons that came into contact with this ice would be rendered completely unable to self-destruct. Her ice phoenixes were basically the perfect counter to the demon war slaves.

The most ridiculous part was that there were countless amounts of ice element in the “narrow” area under her control. The power of the ice element here was comparable to an infinite Elemental Throne. Ice element creatures were speedily evolving here. Even if they were killed, they would speedily regenerate after replenishing their ice element here.

These ice element creatures were a sudden creation after we were forced to the brink. It just happened to be that this particular “magical pet” had even greater skill in magic than her forbidden spell casting master. My new Ice Elemental Plane also desired to have its own Ice Elemental Lords and ice element creatures, which was how these miraculous creations came about.

The blizzard froze the countless demon war slaves. The demons were no longer able to use their most powerful abilities as they faced off against equally countless ice element creatures. However, since the ice element creatures could use the power of ice, they were actually individually stronger than the demon war slaves. Finally, for the first time since the demon wave began, the endless demon war slaves were suppressed.

Then, under Harloys’ control, the ice castle from before appeared once again. After this ice fortress was repeatedly solidified and heightened, it was fatal to the demons who were stuck in the blizzard and sliding on the ice.

The demons’ attack had been stopped, and the forbidden spell’s incantation had almost ended. It seemed as if victory was near, yet at this time, a beam of black light descended.

*Boom!*

The newly erected walls of ice were sliced apart together with the Moonwheel Capital’s city wall. The black giant approached, causing the elves still remaining in the Moonwheel Capital to sink into fear and panic.

Donatis’s black obsidian sword hadn’t only sliced through the final city wall of the Moonwheel Capital. It had also shattered the defending elves’ final hopes. What the elves saw next basically broke their proverbial backs.

“Our most venerated light of all elves…”

When Donatis appeared, two pieces of loot could be seen attached to his waist. Those were two heads still dripping with divine blood, and belonged to the two highest-level existences among the Elven Gods: Anslo and Sonya!

These two Gods’ eyes were still filled with fear and disbelief as if they couldn’t believe that they were now dead.

Right now, even though Harloys had just seen some of her most hated enemies die, she was unable to laugh. That was because Donatis’s next target was the new Borealis in the sky not far away!
