All of Ethan's energy had been completely used up, but he didn't stop attacking. Instead, he quickly drank a potion that restored his energy and kept fighting.

No one knew how long it had been. The whole room was now a complete ruin.

Luckily, the Frostspire Tower was built very strong. Otherwise, it would have already collapsed under Ethan's crazy attacks.

When the dust finally settled, Ethan slowly approached and saw the broken body of the [Ice Calamity].

A bright golden light slowly appeared.

Ethan's eyes lit up. He quickly reached out with his wrist device and put the golden-quality Intel into his [Inventory].

He took a look and realized this Intel was completely different from the ones he had before.

[Unknown Intel]

[Quality]: Golden

[Requirement]: Level above 40

[Description]: ???

Just as Ethan was surprised, another golden light appeared on the body.

[Hellblade Job Intel (Broken)]

[Quality]: Golden

[Requirement]: None

[Description]: The sword of disaster and death begins its journey. Hellblade appears in destruction and decay, representing endless despair. But everything has its opposite — the Hellblade that destroys the world can also become a spear that pierces through darkness. Collect all Hellblade job Intel to combine them into a red-quality Intel, and unlock the strongest hidden class — Hellblade (any job can change into it).

[Collection Progress]: 2/4

It was Intel about the strongest hidden class — [Hellblade]!

Ethan's breathing suddenly became faster. He hadn't expected the second Intel about the [Hellblade] job to be golden quality.

Then, the remaining Intel must be even higher, like platinum or red quality.

Ethan took a deep breath to calm himself.

After defeating the [Ice Calamity], normally, he should have gotten all the information about it.

But even now, Ethan hadn't gotten any useful information at all.

What went wrong?

Just as Ethan was feeling confused, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The room where the [Ice Calamity] was located had a window, which was frozen shut. But before, he could still hear the wind and snow outside.

Now, the whole room was completely silent, like someone had turned the sound off.

Ethan instinctively opened his wrist device, but it didn't work at all!

At that moment, the door behind him suddenly opened. He turned around quickly, but the place he had come from was now completely black — just black, nothing else.

In that dark and scary space, a pair of cold and merciless eyes slowly opened.

Ethan locked eyes with them, and immediately felt that these eyes were exactly the same as the [Ice Calamity]'s!

Before Ethan could figure out what was going on, more and more eyes appeared.

The darkness was quickly filled with countless eyes, all staring at Ethan calmly.

His hair stood on end. He had never felt so nervous and uneasy before.

Were all these eyes connected to something like the [Ice Calamity]?

Ethan took a deep breath, trying to look for more details.

But the next moment, everything around him suddenly turned black.

When he opened his eyes again, everything was back to normal. The [Ice Calamity]'s body was still lying there quietly.

But on the body, five [Calamity Auras] were clearly visible.

These [Calamity Auras] were exactly the same as the ones Ethan had seen in real life. Before he could even try to collect them, they quickly disappeared into his wrist device.

[Ice Calamity Aura]

[Quality]: Golden Quality

[Requirement]: None

[Item Effect]: Can be used to strengthen equipment, weapons, or items... or you can absorb it to improve your talent's quality. There are also other uses that players need to discover on their own.

[Description]:

When Ethan saw the information about the [Ice Calamity Aura], he paused for a moment. He noticed that the [Description] was completely blank.

That was strange. For other items, the description was usually funny or full of complaints. But for the [Ice Calamity Aura], there was nothing.

It was like a person who was always laughing suddenly became silent. It made Ethan feel confused.

Then, Ethan took a closer look at the [Ice Calamity]'s body. He noticed that besides the Intel reward and the [Ice Calamity Aura], there was nothing else dropped.

Ethan sighed. He had been hoping for something like an Orange-quality item.

He looked at his wrist device again and decided to send a message to Emma to talk things over.

Right then, the screen on his wrist device started shaking violently. Strange words kept flashing on it.

After about ten seconds, a broken message appeared on the screen.

It was about the weakness of the [Ice Calamity] and how to collect and absorb the [Ice Calamity Aura] to improve a talent's quality.

...

Dolren City, night, inside a hospital room.

Ethan looked at Emma and said calmly, "Now you don't think my earlier warning was just a joke, do you?"

Emma shook her head gently. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you. These days, I haven't felt right. It's like…."

Ethan said: "Like you're losing your human feelings?"

Emma nodded. "You're right. At first, I thought it was just because I was too tired."

"But today, when Lucas talked about selling Intel and Purple-quality gear, he got too excited and broke his leg."

"I actually don't feel worried at all."

"Even now, knowing that something strange is happening to my body, I'm not really nervous or scared."

Emma felt terrible. Her body was resisting the change, but her mind told her everything was normal.

There was nothing she could do to stop this from getting worse.

Maybe soon, she would disappear completely.

Another new, completely different Emma would take over everything, and live in her place.

Emma looked at Ethan and asked, "Since you were able to warn me, it means you know something. Is there anything you can do to help me?"

Ethan said directly, "Yes! But I need your help with it."

...

Dolren City, inside a steel factory.

Hot molten metal kept splashing around, with small sparks flying everywhere.

Ethan and Dr. Axel stood in front of Emma, with many machines and devices around them.

He was going to put Emma into a near-death state in this high-temperature environment. Only then would the [Ice Calamity] become weak when it appeared.

Soon, everything was ready. Ethan took a deep breath and took out the sword Emma had prepared for him.

It was made from the latest alloy material, very strong and sharp. He tested it quickly and found it was almost as good as a Blue-quality weapon in Dawnfall Online.

Of course, this long sword had no special effects. It couldn't increase any of his stats.

This was the best long sword Emma could find. It cost her over three million credits.

Ethan gripped the sword tightly and nodded at Dr. Axel.

Dr. Axel immediately injected a special medicine into Emma's body, which would put her into a short, near-death state.

Soon, as Emma's breathing grew weaker, her body started to get colder. A little frost tried to form, but because of the high temperature, it melted right away.

When Emma's breathing almost stopped, a blue light suddenly shot out of her body.

The light tried to escape, but Ethan had everything ready. He quickly pressed a button, and the machines around them started to activate. Molten metal poured out.

The blue light suddenly stopped and changed direction.

At that moment, Ethan jumped forward and swung his long blade at the light.

The light tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The long blade cut it in half. The light started to fade away, and five [Ice Calamity Auras] appeared.

Ethan quickly pulled out the container he had prepared and collected all the [Ice Calamity Auras]. He counted them—there were five, just like in Dawnfall Online.

Ethan took a deep breath. He didn't even look at the unconscious Emma. He carefully walked over to Dr. Axel and asked, "How is she?"

Dr. Axel closed his mouth and quickly checked the machines. "Everything's normal. She'll wake up soon."

Ethan nodded and said, "Okay. When she wakes up, tell her I'll come back later. I have something else to do."

Without looking back, Ethan walked toward the hospital.

After putting the container away, he told Flora to stay alert. Then he logged into Dawnfall Online.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing in the City Lord's Mansion.

Aurora, Jenny, and a few servants with luggage were waiting for him.

When Ethan arrived, Aurora's eyes lit up. "Did you get it done?"

"We're leaving for Basalt Crown Main City soon. Don't worry, once we fix the Demon Blade, you'll be back!"

Ethan nodded. He didn't want to miss the chance to fix the [Damaged Blood-Drinking Long Knife].

Soon, the group stepped onto the teleportation device in the City Lord's Mansion.

A strong dizziness hit them. Ethan opened his eyes again and found himself in a completely different place.

He stepped out and saw a huge black basalt statue, like a mountain, standing right in front of him.
