?A boy could be seen climbing a mountain; he was walking on a path covered in snow and dry leaves of pine trees, which made his path very slippery. He was even about to fall into the valley after his leg slipped.
He decides to use a stick to remove the pine leaves as he climbs. On both sides of him was the mountain filled with snow and pine trees; this made the view very beautiful, but Vinay had no time to appreciate nature's beauty. His main focus was on reaching the top of the mountain and finding the Aghoris as soon as possible; his contract beast, Moti, didn't have much time left.
Vinay climbed for some time before his legs gave up. He was taking deep breaths; he sat down there and took out some water from his storage ring. He was drinking water when he heard a strange sound, so he quickly used his detect spell to scan his surroundings.
He noticed a snow wolf behind him was looking at him; the beast was slowly approaching him; Vinay used a barrier spell to cover himself before using an ice spear to take care of the magic beast.
He was an Ice Mage, which gave him a great advantage in this environment; he was also immune to cold a little due to his passive ice resistance. After catching his breath, he started his journey again. This time he was very careful; he knew that it was game over for him if a magic beast came close to him.
This environment didn't suit his contract beasts; he needed to rely on himself for the rest of his journey. It was already afternoon, and he was still far from the top. He took a small break, during which he ate his lunch. He wanted to rest a little longer but couldn't, as the thought of his contract beast dying because he got late scared him.
He was tired but had no option but to continue, so he consumed a potion to recover his stamina before continuing. The more he climbed, the faster the wind blew and the harder it became for him to breathe. He had come without planning and had not prepared for a situation like this, but he was a mage, so it was not hard for him to breathe by using magic.
He was climbing step by step when he heard a strange sound; he looked above and saw that an avalanche was coming. "Shit, why now?" he said as he used his barrier spell and Ice Barrier spell to protect himself.
He was covered in snow, due to which there was darkness around him. When the avalanche stopped after some time, he removed his barrier and dug out to the surface, and after coming out, he saw that he was a hundred meters below. He stomped the ground in displeasure but regretted it when he slipped and hit a tree.
This calmed down his anger a bit, and he said, "Why does it always happen to me?" He took some deep breaths to cool his mind and think of some way. He started looking at his surroundings and saw that an avalanche had formed a river of snow before him, making climbing difficult.
As he was thinking of a solution, a silly idea came to his mind: "Why do I need to walk when I can just surf to the top? It might be impossible for others, but I am an Ice Mage; this place is like my backyard."
He used some ice to make a skateboard and stood above it before he used the 'Ice Surf' skill to surf on the snow; the speed of the surf was breakneck, and he soon climbed one kilometer before he noticed that his mana was getting low.
As a mage, Mana was as important as oxygen for him, so he always carried Mana potions with him for situations like this. He used them and felt refreshed, and His mana also started regenerating very fast when he saw that the sun was about to set in two hours, and he didn't have much time left.
He started using all his potions back to back to continue surfing to the top; This continued for a while before he was left with no potions. He started running to climb fast; the path here was not very difficult to climb; the only problem was that he had very little time left.
After climbing a little, he was getting tired. "No, I can't stop; I am very close." This was the first time in his life he felt so bad for being a mage when his legs started shaking, and he couldn't climb anymore.
He used his 'Ice Surf' skill again and started climbing the mountain while sitting on the Ice Board by consuming the recovered little mana. The snow also started falling, which made it very hard for him to see his surroundings; the sun was also about to set.
He was again out of mana after traveling a little more; he had rested for a bit and was able to walk again. He started climbing and saw that he was very close to the top.
As he was climbing, he saw that it was becoming even harder to see. He looked at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set. He started running with all the strength left in his body; his legs were shaking, but he didn't stop.
He was running when it suddenly became dark. Vinay fell to his knees and was about to give up when he heard the sound of burning wood; he looked at his surroundings and noticed that there was a fire burning there.
He approached the fire there and saw that no one was present, and the fire was also about to end. He noticed the footprints of a human there; they were going towards the left side.
Vinay picked up a piece of burning wood and started following the footprints. He appeared before a cave after following the footprints for a while.
