Beginning of the Ice Age 

Another year had passed...

Minos spent practically all of the time since his departure from Dry City in the Seraphim's Ancient Sarcophagus.

The passage of time in the Spatial Kingdom he had gone to was different from the outside world. His minutes of conversation with the seraph had lasted for weeks outside of this alternate space.

After that, Minos had spent months trying to obtain the resources available in that resting place of the dead of the Spiritual Church and had not returned to the Black Plain Empire until now.

However, it wouldn't be long before he returned home. While he was still finishing his business in the central part of the Ancestral Sea, the entire Spiritual World was witnessing the beginning of a new era!

The Ice Age had finally begun!

...

At the southern end of the South Sea...

Several sea creatures were currently swimming at high speed, desperately trying to get as far north as possible.
