19. Blaze and Chill, Black Skull Guild piqued the Demon King interest

Steve flew to the fortress using his elytra.

Ktang

He parried the sudden blade of the wither skeleton.

'There's 8 of them huh?' He thought to himself.

Steve brought out a wand- wait no, a staff? Out of his inventory.

"I didn't remember this thing being this long, and is it eating away my experience?" Steve muttered as he saw the experience bar is slowly depleting.

"Well whatever, let's see how strong this thing is." Steve tried to use the staff.

Suddenly a huge cloud materialized above the entire fortress almost covering the whole area completely.

'The distance it covers is roughly above thousands of blocks, crazy.' He thought to himself.

The cloud above him then solidified into a gigantic chunk of solid ice that quickly fell onto the entire area.

Steve quickly began flying with his elytra to safety and when he was far enough he stared at the fortress that now suddenly experienced ice age.

'The ice doesn't seem to melting in fact they are spreading.' Steve thought to himself before inspecting the staff.

[ The Frost Staff - Mode 1/2 ]

[ Durability: N/A ]

[ "A Staff that was born after absorbing the immense amount of Experience from Steve" ]

[ Special Attack: Create a humongous ice chunk (can be changed) and make it fall on the designated location and freeze everything to the point of reaching absolute zero ]

[ Change Mode: Create an orb of ice that attacks nearby hostile targets (+1 everytime change mode is used) and then create a scythe blade made from ice ]

"Change Mode?" Steve muttered before the staff morphed and then created a scythe blade from sharp and sturdy ice.

He inspected it once again.

[ The Frost Scythe - Mode 2/2 ]

[ Durability: N/A ]

[ "A Scythe that was born after absorbing the immense amount of Experience from Steve" ]

[ Special Attack: Any physical attack will make the target freeze to the point of absolute zero at the designated point of attack ]

[ Change Mode: Turn the scythe blade into an automatic defense mechanism (+1 everytime change mode is used) that protects the user ]

Steve was slightly impressed by the functionality of this weapon, "This weapon seems to be really easy to abuse, I can just spam change mode until I have thousands of scythe head protecting me…"

Steve ponders for a second before he starts to flew through the slightly colder sky and land on the slippery surface of the frozen Nether fortress.

[ Mode Changed! - 1/2 ]

[ Mode Changed! - 2/2 ]

[ Mode Changed! - 1/2 ]

[ Mode Changed! - 2/2 ]

[ Mode Changed! - 1/2 ]

[ Mode Cha-]

He continues to repeat the process of changing modes.

There was a man in shining blue armor riding a huge slime with a few slime and mobs following him, it was Vincent Ho.

He goes to check his KP.

[ KP: 27 ]

'I've wasted almost all of my kill points damn' Vincent look disappointed before he saw his status.

There hasn't been much of a change since a few days ago but he did unlock a new extremely expensive talent called [The Book of Nullification].

'Inspect talent.'

-*-*-*-*-

"Well, those KP doesn't really seems to be going to waste because this thing seems strong but… the penalty seems to be too dangerous."

Vincent sighed before continuing his journey.

'I've heard the players talking about these 'Black Skull' guild killing players and stealing item from them… kinda interesting.' He thought to himself before thinking to himself about making a new golem on his own.

Vincent about to ask Endie to create a subspace for a base before a notification pops up.

He looked dumbfounded.

[ You've tamed < Herobrine's Apprentices > ]

[ You've gain all of their skills and talents ]

'This is crazy… how many power up will I get!? At this point can the players even catch up with me? Most of them, haven't even passed stone age yet and the one that has some experience only get to iron age, none of them knew about farms, exploits or anything to make their lives easier except origin mod…' He sighed.

He hesitated for a moment before inspecting the skills.

'Welp!' Vincent began to warm his body up before revealing a wicked smile.

"Let the hunts begin~!"

[ Change Mode! - 2/2 ]

[ Change Mode! - 1/2 ]

[ Change Mode! - 2/2 ]

"Now, let's star-" Steve was shot with a freezing ice ball that froze his shoulder.

He was startled but managed to compose himself and then pulling out a diamond sword with fire aspect enchantment to melt the ice and it works like a charm.

Holding the Frost Scythe on his right arm and the fire aspect Diamond Sword on his left, he have thousands of scythe blades made out of ice floating behind him and ice balls that quickly accelerate and froze the enemies like blaze and wither skeletons, albeit the skeleton managed to wither away the ice and then get waffled by the scythe blades.

Steve stared at the new creatures before him, it was blaze but ice, literally.

"I call you, Chill." He said before jumping into his first slaughter since millions of years.
