Cold Energy Immunity

“So the sapient frozen ones have a name for themselves…” the lieutenant colonel mutters with a frown on his face after I free him from the ice vines. “Frozen Lords.”

“Affirmative, sir,” I respond while standing rather stiffly and holding myself back from glancing in the direction of the tunnel I can tell leads to the crystal. Because that would be a breach of military etiquette.

Not that I’m all about etiquette or anything. But this guy did come to help me. So it’s best not to be rude to the man.

The man starts to mutter to himself while pacing, stating things that I’m sure are related to the situation at his own base, but I have no idea what really mean since I’m not a part of said base. And he’s not exactly making it very clear.

Then again, it is clear that he isn’t talking to me.

So I glance at the first lieutenant, only to find the man simply nodding his head in the direction of the tunnel leading to the crystal. Subtly giving me permission to leave.

Well, if the lieutenant colonel wants to mutter to himself like that and break etiquette, then it’s fine for me to do so as well. Especially when the lieutenant gives a signal like that.

And the looks the other soldiers, who are dealing with moving the corpses of the frozen ones onto loading trays to move them above ground, are giving both me and the man make me wonder if this is normal behavior for him. Which I wouldn’t have expected from someone with his appearance.

Guess it’s better not to judge a book by its cover.

Then again, considering how I look with my black eyes and the blue rings in them, that kind of goes without saying.

Well, putting that aside, I march into the tunnel, leaving the soldiers behind to do their jobs. And I continue marching through it until I eventually find the source of the cold energy.

A faint smile stretches across my face at the sight of it. Of the biggest crystal I’ve ever seen thus far.

It’s so big that it’s larger than I am. Which – from my past experience eating these things – tends to mean it’s the strongest. Since the bigger ones I ate before always had the strongest effect.

The strongest abilities.

Although…

My smile doesn’t last very long as I remember the fact that I’m gonna have to eat this thing.

I frown at the crystal for several seconds before eventually sighing and stepping up to it.

Fortunately for me, the crystal is already fully grown. So I won’t have to wait for it to grow.

When I reach the thing, I stretch my hand forwards and try to dig into it. Only for the terminal to stop me at the last second.

|The purity of the crystal will decrease should you attempt to pick the crystal apart with your hands.|

I frown at that.

“Why?” I ask out loud while pulling my hand back.

|It has been determined that the crystal reacts to saliva, sealing itself up when contact with saliva has been made.
