Nushi was in the First Layer remembering how it was the first day they entered the Abyss. After finally after many years he had finished his career as a researcher and scientist. His desire to be able to know the truths of the world was enormous, although first he wanted a rest, his very expression said so much. He was traveling inside a ship to his first destination as his life as a researcher, the room where he was was the simplest of all, but he did not mind so much, rather he was with a notebook writing down everything he will do when he gets there, after all he was given the job ahead of time.

『Biological life is what interests me the most, I am sure there will still be microorganisms or even unknown rarities of life waiting to be discovered』-『There are also several natural phenomena occurring such as the Blood Waterfall, I also know that there is a volcano under Antarctica called Orca Volcano that at present is still dormant and with no signs of movement or activity, and if it were to happen because it felt like it, it would cause earthquakes and shake the entire continent of Antarctica, moreover it would cause violent eruptions, I wonder if it would splash lava to the surface? Taking into account that it is submerged in the frozen sea of Antarctica and also taking into account the pressure at which it is located .... also if we count not only the water pressure but also the air pressure, I remember that many of my colleagues had a wrong idea of water vs air, just by watching a video of how a coke is submerged in water they believe that the air ends up being inferior to water but...』

Nushi was so focused on taking his notes that he hadn't noticed that someone was about to enter his room. He knocked not only once, but twice, no, even three times, a very happy voice that cheered up even the saddest of them all. Seeing that Nushi did not respond, that person smiled because there was no other choice with that recent graduate of the University. The door was locked so she cleverly pulled out a small iron thread, hard enough to resist and manageable enough, and with a couple of attempts she managed to open the lock of the door.

She was laughing to herself for having been smarter, but the moment she tried to turn the door knob, she ran into a problem. The door could not be opened at all, this confused her a lot so she again tried to turn it harder, in her mind if she did it with more force or desire it could be opened. Nushi realized that someone wanted to interrupt her tranquility, he sighed as he knew perfectly well who it was, he saw it coming so he had previously secured the door with a lock more, a little iron of these that move from one side to another.

Nushi was quietly mocking this and calmly continued with everything he planned to do when they reached their destination. The person outside, seeing that he was not able to get into the room, came up with a better idea than Nushi, that iron was not on the door, Nushi himself must have installed it, then .....

『If Orca Volcano erupts, the clearest cause would be Torricelli's Theorem, which is what it is most related to....』.

Nushi was documenting in writing everything that could happen, but at that moment he was surprised by something, there was a little sound that was twisting, as if they were moving it slowly, Nushi looked at the door, and as if it were a kind of magic or paranormal effect, the iron that made that person could not enter, was moving to give him free passage.

『What?...But...Really? ....』

『Where is my son.....------.... I'm not going to do anything to you....-----.....for not wanting to see me....---.....you deserve punishment kid...------.....』

『...I'm not a child anymore, now I'm finally a full-fledged adult, but I'd better ask you, why are you still behaving so childish at your age, mother?』

The iron was completely removed and now the door could be opened very gently and slowly. The way it was opening and letting his imagination run wild at that moment, Nushi felt like at the slightest opening everything was filling with thick air and the room would take on a dark tone, all this surely to provoke fear.

『I am not your mother....----....your mother has been replaced by me...---------...I am only here to take you to a life you will never regret because...-------.....asi she wants it...-----...』

『A life where I have no regrets? (let's get this over with) Let's be clear person who has been harassing me all my life, at no time since I was born did I consider my life a regret, if that were to happen I would be the first person I hate the most』.

Again all the gloomy atmosphere that was flooding Nushi's room, he was calm and not even afraid at all. For a long time, no, since he was a little boy he had always lived the same, that being that had always been with him tried to encourage him and this was the best way of all, either because he also wanted the eagerness or even the desire for his son to get scared or feel the fear even for a moment. The imagination wanted to pass it on to her son, and because of the affection she had for him, they became more connected than ever. Nushi had in front of him a spirit with hair that covered his entire face, he reached out his hands to grab Nushi who calmly said.

『It's okay, you can hug me...』

From one moment to another that spirit ended up materializing and hugged Li Nushi, who at this moment was 22 years old, a recent college graduate. And who made all the show of imagination was none other than his mother, Li Meilin, who seemed not to let him for anything in the world, his appearance in exchange for his son who this mostly for if, arranged we could say it, the appearance of his mother is with messy hair that reached her waist, this only gave to indicate to the eyes of his son that was somewhat wrong in the head.

『When do you plan to do your hair? Since I'm little you always wear the same style mother....』

『It's just to get more into the mood *smiles* Besides when I set my mind to something I follow through to the end! I'd be fine if you'd just do what I've worked so hard for, son』

『I already told you that ghosts, spirits, souls, vampires, werewolves, or all of our mythology in general doesn't exist, not until you bring me one and I can see it with my own eyes, then at that moment I'll believe it, but since that's never going to happen I see that your destiny is to stay like a crazy woman with your hair all messed up mother *smiles*』

『You're always egging me on to outdo myself ....it's good!!! You'll see Nushi! Now that you're finally exploring with me you'll see that everything I tell you is true because you'll see it with your own eyes! Although if it's because of my hair I don't really care, this messy style suits me, right? Tell me? Do you think I could conquer another man like this?

『Mommy!!!! Have more decency please!!!』

『Hahahaha you look cuter when you're angry, you look just like your father 』

Meilin was laughing at the occasion, while Nushi just had to endure again how his mother as always seems to take everything as a game. Ever since he has had reason to be, his mother has always behaved childishly with him, of course she did not leave behind her side of being a full-fledged mother, but always when she sees the opportunity, she decides to treat her son like a little child, especially in wanting to make him understand the truth of herself, since all the time she always talked to him about incredible and imaginary stories that would only happen in fairy tales, seeing the expression of how his mother joyfully told her son a story that could be real, his little elementary school Nushi only responded with.

『And sources? Has anyone substantiated it yet? Is there really a mermaid or Santa Claus, huh? Sources?』

When he responded in this way, his mother could only answer that her son had already become a genius, that he was so interested in the truth and research from such an early age was too rare. But she did not take it badly, although her son was already behaving differently from other children at that age, Meilin only this made her happy and more eager to see him happy at all costs and to see him fulfill his dreams, until today she always supported him with what he likes the most and to see that her son was really passionate about this profession just like her, this really made her feel a great warm feeling in her heart.

『You are our spitting image of me and your father, Nushi, I love you with all my heart *smiles*』.

『(I heard it all my life, every now and then I get tired of it....) Yes mother, I love you too』.

The way they expressed themselves to each other was very noticeable, Meilin always treated her son with affection and never missed an opportunity to tell him how much she loved him, while Nushi was tired of hearing the same thing and always having to keep in mind that his mother loved him, for him this did not satisfy him or bring him much attention, after all it became something very normal for him. His response was dry we could even say it, this his mother knew very well that quickly as if she was a little girl she would start protesting with her cheeks stuffed and making a tantrum on the floor.

『But say it more lovingly!!!! Say it more lovingly Nushi!!!! Take advantage of the fact that I'm here all cute and beautiful to tell me everything you feel!!!!! Tell me you love me!!!』

She was rolling back and forth while protesting against her son, Nushi could only think how from this adult and all childish woman ended up coming out a son as serious and determined to the truth as him, although most likely his father might have the answer but....

『(If my father fell in love with this person then...)What bad tastes you have father....』

『No, your father had good tastes *smiles* you should know very well son, 2 opposite poles attract, 2 equal poles move away, of course there are cases apart where this does not apply but we as researchers and scientists go more for the results than anything else, when I met your father he really was a person dedicated to his profession, while I only, let's say I only joined the research because I wanted to know whether or not all the stories I read as a child really existed hahahaha』

『...Mother....』

『That's enough! I'm serious but stop making that face!!!! I don't know why, but I always went at my own pace, but when I found out that being a researcher was going to take away my imagination from my stories, your father appeared to tell me "You believe in your own truth" Since that day when your father noticed that I wanted to quit my career, he encouraged me and even insisted me not to quit, at that moment I realized that despite being serious all the time, he was really determined not to let me go. ....*smile* It still makes me sad that his last exploration to South America in the Amazon ended his life....』

Meilin started to remember her relationship with her husband and how he ended up dying years ago. This was the first time Nushi told her this story and only upon hearing it she could only respond with a ....

『I couldn't do the same, interfere in other people's decision...I am no one to tell or change another person's mind, I only have myself and the truth』.

『No, even though you know and studied a lot if you make mistakes often Nushi *smiles* You will mostly implant your goals to those who really care about you, after all you are our son and who will follow our wish until the end, just like you selfishly implant the wish to others to fulfill them』.

『That's more like a curse than a good wish mother....My father made you fall in love with him through a curse?.... but what kind of family were you born in...』

Nushi to this always talking to his mother ended up confusing him a lot because despite being her son, they are always distant or do not meet much on personal issues, as on this occasion that just talking about a topic, quickly Nushi is not in favor of his mother, this problem is also since childhood, Meilin tried everything but his son always gave him the against, until he came to the conclusion of.

『You should have come out renegade by default Nushi』.

『I don't get angry mother...I just get annoyed at the wrong thing』

『That's getting angry 』

They were for a few minutes like a game, contradicting each other, which made the mother have a good time with her son. After talking as a family so to speak, Nushi showed his mother the discovery that could happen when they arrive at their destination, he told her about the Orca Volcano and its possible eruption in the future, he also commented that this could even be caused by a superior force in the future.

『Torricelli's theorem, you related it since as the Volcano is located under the cold waters of Antarctica, the speed of the liquid coming out of a hole is identical to that acquired by an object that is freely dropped from a height equal to that of the free surface of the liquid, the pressure not only of the water but of the wind, another example would be with the drain, less water is left, the air remains as it is, but the water comes to diminish with time but...』

『Also the Theorem says that the water comes to get the pressure of the air in addition to its same pressure by default, that's why it comes out with the same speed and even more.... If it is a submerged volcano then it must have a leakage path...the most concrete would be that the leakage would be submerged in the water but...I got to ask myself a mother thing, what if the volcano is inside a subway cave?』

Nushi already had almost everything in his head and documenting it in his little notebook, because thinking about it, in the area where they are headed there is no volcano mouth in sight, it is impossible that there is one on the surface, besides if that were to happen there would be no danger of a volcano exploding, the extreme cold would end up extinguishing it. That would be the case if that were the case, but considering that the Orca Volcano is inside, below the cold sea of Antarctica, of course, one would think that much better, less temperature. But it is a volcano, this one is attached to the earth, and as in Torricelli's Theorem, the leak or hole is at the deep end of it all.

『And the deeper one goes, the more it descends and descends the more heat there will be, just as the air pressure almost becomes nonexistent....』

『A normal terrestrial cave the deeper you go, the colder it gets, the air becomes rarefied, but in a volvan this is different, in the center of it there will always be a heat that with the necessary means this will erupt....』

『Even if it is submerged in the Antarctic, we cannot take for granted that it will not be hot down there, the water may be absorbing the wind.... rather it is waiting for the moment and necessary elements so that one day, it will erupt...』

Nushi and Meilin were giving theories and guessing what could happen with this Orca Volcano, since millennia ago that this had no activity and it would be because it is in a completely cold area on the outside, literally its prison and what keeps it inactive is the cold that is in Antarctica, but if one of the factors is met with force, either slowly or immediately, it could even be a terrible catastrophe that could happen here on the frozen continent where they are headed right now.

『But the good thing is that there is no access to that place and we came to explore something else, right Nushi? Besides, it's impossible for a cave from the outside to the deepest part of the volcano to be connected, right Nushi?

『It's 900 meters below the surface...I'll take your word for it mother, I hope there's no access at all』.

The Li family came with other ideas in mind when they came to Antarctica, especially they came because Meilin received a vacancy to explore a recent cave that, thanks to the recent movements, it is as if they had made free passage to its discovery. And since they still had one more free vacancy in the said reconnaissance exploration, then taking advantage of her son Nushi just recently left the University as a Researcher, then quickly Meilin put him on the boat with her, but Nushi the first thing he wanted to do when he graduated was.

『I wanted to take a vacation to Hawaii....』

After so much hard work and no rest, his first year he would take it as a sabbatical so he could distract himself and relax from all he had to go through, he also knows that to come with strength to something you love, you have to regain your strength first.

Meilin was telling her son that they better leave that volcano issue, besides that was not their goal, giving her son the certainty that nothing bad will happen, and if it were to happen for sure they will already be dead when the volcano decides to erupt.

『Easy son, let's enjoy this trip *smiles*』.

『You said recently that there was movement and that opened the door for exploration into that strange cave.... if movement was detected all over Antarctica then that means the volcano is already in....』-『By the way you got in in the first place?』

『With a magnet! I copied the cartoon *smiles*』

『Your imagination mother really amazes me』.

Quickly Meilin took her son's hand and would go on to run with him all over the ship. Why? Why yes. They were running all over where Meilin was happy with this, but quickly Nushi was complaining about not going so fast, that he would get tired too soon. But as soon as they got out of the inner part of the Ship, it was like a brightness that blinded Nushi for seconds, the sun was overhead beating down and showing him for the first time what it was like to see Antarctica with his own eyes.

『It's cold!!!! It's hot!!! It's cold!!! It's hot!!! This is really weird Nushi *smiles*』

『It shouldn't be like this, it's strange that you don't freeze as soon as you go outside...』

They stood watching as they were plying the cold waters of Antarctica and as they passed near huge blocks of ice and even the curious mother went to the ship's gunwale, and with a big smile made her son call out to be with her.

『Nushi look!!!! They are sea unicorns!!!!』

This caught Nushi's attention that he would quickly go to see if it was true, and when he looked from the edge, he realized that it was true, the Sea Unicorns or also called Narwhals, were swimming meters away from where they were, you could clearly see their huge horn and how they submerged easily in the cold waters, this Nushi left him amazed and even noted that he might also decide to investigate the fauna in Antarctica, but his mother at that moment thought.

『I wonder if I could ride one? Would you like a Narwhal as a pet Nushi?』

『Mother, please don't ruin this moment』.

Nushi was still watching the narwhals as they swam with a smile on her face, when Meilin noticed this, she too was happy and all at once she attached her son to her as she stroked his head to tell him again.

『I love you very much son *smiles*』.

He always said it with all his heart, while Nushi again with a dry tone because he didn't want to miss the naval, replied that he loved his mother just the same. Which, seeing that the animals mattered more to him on this occasion, claiming in front of everyone as before would bring him shame, after all he has to set an example for his son.

『You must be Investigator Li Meilin and he must be her son Li Nushi, welcome back on board』-『I introduce myself, I am the head of SouthKorea Exploration *smiles*』.

『A pleasure Chief of Exploration, I am Li Meilin and this serious boy over there is my son Li Nushi, we are both Investigators from China, it is a pleasure that you have given us this opportunity *smiles*』.

The Chief of Exploration of the investigation came to introduce himself and all his crew members for this mission, in addition to the cordial greeting he also wanted to verify that all the members of the group are here, although this would be the third time since in the first and second time everyone went their own way upon entering. Why? Because for many this was their first time on a ship and they wanted to explore and even document it.

The Chief of South Korea took out his notebook where he wrote down and approved with a check that his last 2 members of the exploration group were complete. He told him that they would plan for the following days how they would prepare to start the initial exploration, the discovery of that cave must first be analyzed as it should be, from head to toe.

『It is a cave that was discovered 2 months ago, a test exploration was done and it seems to have lower levels, our job as the discovery exploration is to quickly find out what that cave can offer us or discover that cave, a quick look, we will go to layer 1 explore it, we will go to layer 2 explore it, and so on until there is no more to explore, I give you a brief summary reminding you also why you are here Li family』.

The Chief of SouthKorea just wanted to introduce himself to the Li Family and give them a little reminder of why they are here. They also told him that in the exploration group there were people of all kinds, typographers, cartographers, some nurses, speleologists, biologists, paleontologists, archeologists, geologists, also even weird it sounds to say, but there will also be mechanics or experts in the field, as well as an electrician, literally there will be a little bit of everything, to this Meilin could only say.

『And won't there be a chef to accompany us as well? I'm just saying』.

『We tried but we couldn't get one, I think our most recognized member of the group is an influencer espeologist who will accompany us on this journey 』.

『(Yes they literally took from bringing a little bit of everything)』.

『The first 3 days will serve to prepare us, there will also be moments of rest or free time, so as long as they do not go to dangerous places by themselves, then they can take advantage of their time in whatever they want 』.

This news really made Meilin happy, as she saw this more as an opportunity to be able to spend time with her son, like an amusement park or a park, to explore Antarctica by themselves. At that moment Meilin remembered that on the edges of Antarctica or even on the ice floes there must be both penguins and even some sea lions. She was with a smile for sure that she would like to see Nushi.

『I already want to get to Antarctica *smiles*』.

For her first day arriving to the frozen continent, Meilin was very excited about this, she gave all the looks although clumsy too, that she was an expert when exploring everything that comes to mind, which thanks to her wit or also luck, she was able to get away with it several times, and with this first trip she wants her son to also enjoy the wonders that seeing the world brings you, seeing the truth with your own eyes.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nushi was sitting in the snow and as always when he is out of his house, he likes to watch the sky and how the sun is beating down on him. He was getting warm where that was not a problem, as long as he does not consume alcohol or his internal temperature is stable then there is nothing to worry about. Nushi was wondering how much longer Cliston and Svein would take to come back, as Nushi didn't feel like being outside anymore, he was about to go alone but at that moment when he stood up, he noticed that a group or several groups from different households were approaching where he was.

『What's going on?...』

At that moment as if by coincidence, as he turned around and felt something was approaching, he noticed that the Norway home group was turning completely from worry to miracle. Norway's Scoutmaster was tired and was breathing hard, the fatigue he had seemed to be finally wearing off from almost a day of being non-stop inside the Abyss.

『What happened? Tell me something, hey!!!』

『Our boss came back, that's what happened』.

Svein answered him and continued to help the Norwegian chief to get out of the cave, to this Nushi was confused, what did he come back as? At that moment Cliston appeared to tell him that the Exploration Chief had been lost inside the Abyss since yesterday morning and that he had recently managed to get out. Nushi to this had a thousand questions, like why didn't they warn him or even ask for help,...no...the help is the whole group that were heading here.

『Chief!!!! Hey Chief!!!! Little Chief wake up!!!!!!!!!』

Svein was screaming with worry, since from what he was walking with the help of his companions the Chief of Norway, he simply fell down fainted, they had been worried rather relieved that he came back healthy that they forgot that since he was in contact with the Abyss, now he was also suffering from the Curse.

『(It happens to many, when they manage to get out after being lost, they are blinded that nothing happens to them and when they least realize it, they fall down in the cold snow unable to do anything....)』

Nushi to this sighed and approached so that he could medicate her with the pre-medicine he has against the Abyss. To this at the slightest pull out the medicine, Svein would take it out of his hands, Nushi gave him a dirty look as if expecting him to apologize for this disrespect, but Svein would reply that he wanted him to be the one to give it to him, besides that.

『You look like you make it hurt when you inject something...』

『He's fainted, he won't feel the sting and pain 』.

『I don't want to anyway, it's wrong to take advantage of someone who can't go on anymore....』

Svein said it clear and even as a reminder for Nushi, he felt that he did not see the case of the brat's words, they stayed for seconds waiting for the rescue group to come, but at that time Nushi seeing that someone new has been affected by the curse, then he took the opportunity to make a quick pique to get his blood, which.

『Hey! Respect idiotisk drittsekk!!!』

『What?』

『And you're a!!! sint kattefjes!!!』

『Hey, don't use my same strategy against me 』.

Svein just insulted Nushi without Nushi knowing it, but of course this one wasn't that much, so he better decided that they'd better scram because he wasn't around to start such a childish fight like that. Nushi saw how the rescuers were helping the Norwegian Chief to feel better, even in case they forgot from the entrance to the cave, he told them and shouted that they should not make him drink alcohol. Nushi was still in his mind saying how could this have happened, but then Cliston appeared next to him and he was smiling and saying.

『I saved him *smile*』.

『(I leave them for a second and a lot of things happen....)』

Cliston to this was explaining to him that thanks to his winds he was able to get to save the Chief of Norway. He was explaining to him that thanks to training especially with Svein, he can now detect and differentiate how a person feels to an object, plus it was like it was touch.Touch?

『Touch? What? The wind is an extension of your body you mean?』

『So that's how I feel, I can recognize by its figure and touch if it's a person, I also detected needles, some chronometer or was it a compass?...I don't know...did they feel the same? Do you think it could have been a Yushi Tamagotchi?』

『Perfect that connection you have with the wind, it will come in handy if you can detect whatever comes in contact with you, and by the way how did you help it? you didn't go into the 3rd layer or did you? or have you mastered the Wind Thread? If so then I congratulate you------』

『What I did was to expel wind violently to make it go faster, I did it to detect the Norwegian boss faster, although in the process, since there were several paths, the thing is that when I detected him, I concentrated the wind only in that current that found him and then the rest is the merit of the Norwegian boss, he followed my current and that's how he reached the surface 』

Listening to Cliston's explanation, Nushi was silent, this only meant bad things, but for some reason Cliston was expecting congratulations, because after all he saved a person, which he had not done these last few days, he was happy. But quickly to this Nushi would lift up his blanket and Cliston excitedly said.

『Are you going to give me a present? I already want to see what Yushi will be.』

Nushi pulled out in a quick manner so that he would not be seen, and in a quick manner that could not be detected, he would go on to peck Cliston's body all over several times, while the Fatty could only complain about the pain he felt, Nushi was pecking him with his needles all over his body. It was like his way of getting even or showing annoyance at this fact.

『And my name is Nushi dammit!!!!!』

Nushi seemed to get so upset that he turned his hand into a fist, he tried to hit Cliston with a strong punch and when Cliston received it, he realized something, it didn't hurt at all. What's more, even Nushi felt his hand tremble because comparing his strength with this Cliston really was someone tough, of course for him. 

『My little hand....My little picky hand....』

『You wanted to deflate me? 』

Cliston to this the pain would pass quickly as it wasn't that it caused him much harm either, to this Nushi was annoyed and would go on to stress it already in words that were sure to hurt more than his attempts at abuse.

『You're an idiot!!! How dare you expel air inside a cave!!!! Especially violently!!!!! You didn't even think about what this could provoke?!!!!! Idiot tell me what happens when you violently gather pressure in an enclosed place!!!!! As in the case of the kettle when there is pressure this is expelled violently as a whistling sound!!!! The wind product of the heat and the water shoots violently to the surface!!!! Tell me what would happen if you pass it a thousand levels above!!!! Eh!!!!!!!』

『What's wrong? I don't understand what are you saying Nushi? The kettle? Where did you burn the water?』

『No you idiot!!! Well yes but !!!! AAA!!!!!!!! (I'm getting upset....at the end of the exploration I couldn't conclude that the Abyss and the Orca Volcano are connected...I thought they were 2 separate things but....I still have that feeling that I might be right and yes....and if it comes to pass....) That's why I told you to use your wind thread!!!!! It's practical and you don't blow wind out of the wind!!!! 』

『Nushi! Calm down please!!!! I'll give you my share of dinner tonight but calm down!!!!』

『Maybe they are linked!!!!!! Maybe....even though I haven't concluded it and brought out the truth...I got as far as the 5th layer but...it was all so weird that I couldn't look at it...it was cold...I was short of breath...I was getting dizzy....but I still have a feeling that I might be right...if I imagine it might fit but....I need irrefutable proof with which to make up my mind....』

Nushi was going into confusion leaving aside the calm and serious person we know. Cliston to this doesn't know what is wrong with his friend, but it seems he was already calming down. But at that moment they heard a loud rumble that ended up causing an earthquake where they were. The earth moved slightly, this even caused the ice to fragment and create cracks. But that was not all, while the group of rescuers were carrying the Norwegian Chief, they also felt the tremor, they stood still but everyone here knew it meant that there was such a tremor in place. 

『Quickly Maao go! Snow avalanches are going to happen....』

Maao said it seriously and even gave the order to Maao that he must avoid such natural phenomenon. The earth was still moving but only slightly, but in the higher mountains, on the peaks of Antarctica, such a movement, if only a single snow or stone falls, is capable of triggering an avalanche with full force.

Cliston would fly thanks to his winds and head first to where all the groups of households were. These were lying on the ground to be safer from the earthquake, when it stopped they would try to escape as soon as possible from the place, but when Cliston looked up, he realized that avalanches were coming from different directions. There was no time to think, so quickly Cliston would first try to provoke currents to counteract the force of the avalanche. This would succeed in slowing it down a bit, but it wasn't just one, there were also a few more that if they kept generating in a chain, the avalanche might reach the settlement and it would be completely buried in snow.

『(I must avoid it....because I feel like this again was my fault...)』

Cliston wanted to use his hands to better manage the winds, but he could only move his left hand, which with technique and skill directed a new current to catch or even stop the avalanche on the left side. While for the right side the avalanche was coming with force, his hand could not respond and it was difficult, so without help, he expelled wind with more force from his body, no...rather he wrapped himself again with his own wind causing a whirlwind in him and headed to where the closest avalanche would fall. There were 3 in total, 2 were being held where the 3rd avalanche Cliston was placed underneath him. He remembered that as in the previous case, his whirlwind expands or expels with force everything it touches, as it provoked more fire thanks to that fire... Cliston tried something else better. From the whirlwind that was enveloping him, he quickly expelled with force a spiral current upwards, colliding directly with the avalanche. It managed to pierce it and the snow that hit the whirlwind was thrown far away and fell into the cold sea.

There was no time to lose, he would quickly go to undo the avalanche on the right who managed to get there in time, but when he realized, a large amount of snow and rocks had accumulated. He could feel the weight getting heavier and heavier.

If he could get past his God Form with a simple energy expulsion this would end, but....

『(I have to avoid it with what I have.... better hurry since in the middle...)』

At that moment Cliston remembered that when he is inside the whirlwind, he is not engulfed by the force or anything like that. Having that in mete he went back to expelling more wind surrounded and creating him a shield like the one he always uses. He half succeeded, as he did not see the density or shape of the snow coming. Small bullets of snow were being violently ejected from his wind shield. This worried him so he wasted no time in throwing it with force, you could see how a large snowball was thrown into the sea, and before colliding with the cold waters, Cliston would undo the air shield that facilitated this task.

『Only 1 to go....』

Cliston tired would go to the center where everyone was, the current of air that he left as a support seems not to support more. So as he already used much of his power in a foolish way, the current that was going strong to clear the snow, lost its speed and now the avalanche was coming with force.

All the groups of households tried to run and even screamed in fear, but they could not escape from it. Quickly Cliston to this the only thing that came to his mind was to do the same as before, to wrap it with his wind shield, but being so close may the snow bullets end up sticking to someone, is the problem that Nushi told him, his winds are too violent, and that even he was training how to control all matter.... then.....

『Ah!!!! Okay!!!! Then I'll make them as you want Nushi!!!!!!!!!』

Cliston stood on top of all the groups and watched as the avalanche fell with force, Cliston closed his eyes and again practiced his technique, his left hand was wrapped with a wind and from this came out or generated a small thread of wind. He was trying to concentrate but the screams and concern of the people did not let him but....

『You can do it!!!! Cliston!!!!!!』

Svein shouted from below, encouraging him. Cliston quickly had the support of his companion, who decided to pull the ice from his hand, where quickly nothing would happen. From that same nothingness, from that small whirlwind in the air, a great whirlwind would generate upwards that ascended as if it were a spider's web. Wrapping the whole avalanche with no opportunity to escape, unlike the previous ones, the inside was not violent nor the outside. It maintained the tranquility and resistance of a constant but strong wind. The threads that were created maintained an incredible strength despite being thin. Cliston was able to understand this, or rather to feel what his threads were touching. So before losing his concentration, since even he did not know how he did it. He would fly up to the top and as if it were a thread connected to the avalanche, it attracted him and as if he had a yo-yo in his hands, Cliston with his hand made force and pulled it.

POMMMMM!!!!! The threads that held back the avalanche caused pressure destroying even the huge stones that were trapped. There was no trace of snow or anything else, Cliston was really tired that the threads in the winds were quietly disappearing and the thread on Cliston's finger that was spinning quietly and forcefully was also disappearing from his hand.

『I didn't understand .... what I just did...but .... I'm glad everyone's okay *smiles*』

Cliston was tired but he could still hold his ground in the air, so before he fell down defeated, this one would go down to get himself taken care of as well. Svein was happy and cheerful with what his friend did, all the people present were relieved that this could have been avoided. Svein looked on with a smile and even waved his hand for his friend to come with him. Cliston at this already used all his strength since in terms of human endurance, this was all he could give. He was falling from a considerable height where Svein.

『He wants me to attack him! Good!!! Come here fatso!!!』

Svein was waiting with open arms, but it seems he played dumb as Cliston fell down next to him hard. Svein turned around and watched as a human figure literally stepped through the snow, but Svein was smiling, not only did he give it back to Nushi, but he also gave it back to Cliston, although it wasn't Cliston's fault that he fell from the same height. ....

Nushi looked at all this from the entrance of the Abyss and was also relieved that nothing happened, but this also made something clear to him, the wind that Cliston expelled ended up reaching the end where the peak of the volcano is located for sure and .....

『That generated this earthquake.... looks like you want to wake up....』

The quake was just a hint or rather a warning that if they keep provoking or infiltrating the Abyss, it ends up waking up and generating chaos on the frozen continent. If Cliston uses his winds in the way that Nushi told him to inside the Abyss, for sure that awakening of the volcano will happen if or if. The good thing is that it seems that he is already mastering the Wind Thread, the bad thing is that the thousands of souls in the abyss, because of their eagerness to know more and more about what they do not know, is to exploit it to the point of no more power.
