"Sigh…"

Lying on a boat drifting on the endless black sea, Eden really didn't know what to do.

It wasn't because she was lazy.

It was because she really had no other tasks.

Without any other choice, Eden had to check to see if she had any unfinished tasks.

"Hmm… Freeze all the ports of the Nethervale Kingdom?"

Completed.

Right now, the entire Nethervale Kingdom was nothing more than a prison.

It was destined to be completely destroyed.

Even if all the factions joined forces, the Nethervale Kingdom was beyond saving.

All the ports were frozen.

To put it simply, there were no more ships that could approach this kingdom.

Worse still, Eden's ice was special.

It could only melt if she wanted it to.

Otherwise…

"Farewell to the Nethervale Kingdom."

Then, Eden continued to think.

"Is there anything else I have to do?"

The answer was no.

Freezing all the ports was the only task the demon king had given to commander Eden.

Other than that, he had not told her to do anything else.

"How boring…"

Eden was not happy about being given less work.

It sounded unbelievable, but it was the truth.

She really wanted to contribute more to the demon race.

Furthermore, she also wanted to gain more achievements to offer to the great demon king.

Demons were usually active at night.

But Eden, having completed all her work, just lay here, enjoying the night.

"Sigh. But no matter what, tonight is still beautiful."

The corners of her lips curved up slightly.

Eden's snow-white eyes couldn't leave the night sky.

It was truly too beautiful.

More beautiful than any painting Eden had ever seen.

Thanks to that, her depressing mood had somewhat eased.

It was being replaced by a feeling called serenity.

The cool breeze of the night…

The cool weather…

The quiet space, without any noise…

And that starry sky…

Combined together, they gave Eden a feeling as if she was in heaven.

She felt as if she was on cloud nine.

"Wait a minute…"

Suddenly, an idea that was too crazy to believe appeared in Eden's mind.

"Can my power freeze a star?"

She was very curious.

She wanted to try and experience it.

She wanted to find out the result as soon as possible.

"How curious…"

Ding, ding, ding!

But, at that moment, three bells suddenly rang, interrupting Eden's train of thought.

At the same time, it destroyed the paradise that Eden had not yet enjoyed enough.

"What the hell?"

Frowning, she sat up, then looked towards the source.

"Huh?"

There, she saw a boat.

Yes, a simple boat.

And there was nothing on that boat.

No objects.

No food.

And most importantly, no people.

All the evidence pointed to it being an abandoned boat, a boat that had been drifting at sea for a long time.

But if that was the case, then why didn't this boat show any signs of destruction or a speck of dust on it?

"How strange…"

Eden muttered.

"But also curious!"

Her eyes lit up.

"Is this the ghost boat from the legend?"

Eden felt excited.

As always, she was forced to give in to new things and her own curiosity.

Eden wanted to step onto that boat and check it out.

And she definitely would.

"Let's go!"

That boat was getting closer and closer to her ice boat.

Eden was also prepared to jump onto that thing at any moment.

Whoosh!

But, just as she was about to do so, she sensed a murderous aura.

She also felt a sharp object rushing straight at her neck.

Someone was trying to cut off Eden's head.

"How brave."

Leaving those words behind, she gently tilted her head, successfully dodging the slash.

But in return, a not-so-deep cut appeared on her neck.

"Damn… My beautiful neck is ruined…"

But at least Eden was still alive.

Life was much more precious than a cut.

"How strange."

The next second, Eden's gaze became sharper.

She was completely in battle mode.

Slowly, her gaze swept around.

But, she couldn't see a single person.

"What the hell is this? A ghost?"

There must be someone who wanted to kill Eden around here.

Because otherwise, why would this cut appear on her neck?

But unfortunately, Eden couldn't see that person at all.

It's like that person had become invisible.

Or has merged with the darkness.

"A power like Astral's?"

Eden smiled meaningfully.

"It's really interesting."

Closing her eyes, she began to feel.

This was what she often did when sparring with Astral.

And this method never failed.

Kaede understood that.

So, the guildmaster of the Shadow Viper guild couldn't let the demon do that.

[1000 Slashes.]

"...!"

Unexpectedly, Eden felt death was closer than ever.

Something extremely dangerous was about to happen.

Without hesitation, the demon jumped off the ice boat, and at the same time, turned all the seawater in this area into ice, and landed on it.

"Pant… pant… pant…"

Eden started to gasp.

Her eyes were still filled with extreme terror.

"That moment… if I hadn't acted in time… I would have definitely died…"

Eden had never felt such danger before.

Even when fighting the three commanders.

Then, the demon glanced at her ice boat.

"Damn it…"

Now, it was completely destroyed.

To be more specific, it was cut into thousands of pieces of various sizes.

Instantly, a sword made of ice was formed in Eden's hand.

At the same time, she also raised her vigilance to the maximum.

At this moment, even a mosquito could be sensed by Eden.

"Alaric really wasn't lying to me when he said you were strong."

A woman's voice rang out from the void.

Clack, clack, clack.

From within the darkness, a figure of a woman stepped out.

She was wearing a tight-fitting outfit, along with a black mask.

With this appearance, Kaede was completely capable of hiding in the darkness without being detected by the enemy even without using her Ability.

Her sword reflected the moonlight.

The blade was thin.

It was unbelievably thin.

"But, that's all."

Kaede's jet-black eyes flashed with a murderous intent.

Clang!

The next moment, like two hungry beasts seeing their prey, the two blades collided.
