Chapter 49: Battle For The Forge, Part 2

Zero felt the inside part of his bottoms and could feel the clump like shape that were several small food items he had prepared in advance. He had quickly taken the one he had made with Extra Defense prior to entering the forge. 

But he only had a limited supply and he needed it to last until the forge was retaken. There wasn't going to be a chance for him to cook on the fly.

Gwyn touched the closest streak of ice on the floor and it collapsed upon itself. She did the same with another not far from her reach, but left the one connected to the frozen blade.

"So your system lets you enter shadows eh?" Gwyn said. "What an annoying ability. But...based on that last move of yours, you still need to get close to me to do anything. No wonder you want a weapon so bad."

Nothing slips by her, Zero thought.
