The girl called Freya did nothing but go to the place with the wooden posts to train all day. There were a lot of people watching her train in the field.
'She must be really popular,' Ning A said.
'Yeah, look at all of her fans, cheering from the side,' Ning B said while looking at the different people rooting for her during her normal training.
During the training, the system notified them that it was time for them to change their control.
'Alright, you take the reign for a while,' Ning B said.
'Ah, finally I get to see whatever I want,' Ning A said.
Around late afternoon, Freya left her training to visit a building with a lot of books, where she spent nearly an hour looking through the books. In the end, she managed to find a book that she liked and got out of the building.
She returned back to her room and started reading it. Ning A was the one in charge right now, and he was curious as to what she was doing.
'You think she is reading a story?' he asked the other Ning.
'Maybe. If I was in such a boring place with nothing to do, then I would too.' Ning B replied.
The girl suddenly stood up and closed her eyes as she brought her right hand in front of her. She moved her hands a little and snowflakes started dropping from them.
'Woah! Magic.' Ning B said in shock.
'Yeah. Wait, no. Isn't this a cultivator's ability?' Ning A questioned.
'Right, has to be.' Ning B replied.
They both watched as Freya slowly started to create an ice sculpture out of the fallen snowflakes. As more and more snowflakes dropped, they gathered to form a humanoid form with a large sword.
She moved her hands a little and the ice sculpture moved out of nowhere and started swinging its blades around. This shocked both of them.
' ' A puppet? ' ' they both shouted at once.
Freya walked up to her sword, easily dodging the ice puppet that was swinging its sword around without rhyme or reason. She took the sword and took it out from its sheath and started walking back towards the ice puppet, leaving the sheath behind.
She started fighting the ice puppet in what looked like an intense battle. She dodged the puppet's attacks in what looked like impossible to them.
'Wow, she is amazing,' Ning A said.
Ning B just kept quiet and watched the fight.
After about half an hour of continuous battle, Freya lit up her sword, dealing massive damage to the ice sculpture and shattering it into countless pieces.
<You have gained 3400 energy>
The sound alone gave Ning a massive amount of energy. The training during the day had also provided a lot of energy, but never this big.
'She has gotten a lot stronger in the 3 months I was asleep, hasn't she?' Ning A said.
'I think so too. By the way, that magic right there
'You think we can just use her to gather energies? That should be alright, right?' Ning B said.
'Maybe. What if we went asleep once more and woke up a year later? Maybe we will have another unlock by then. That would be a much better idea, right?' Ning A said.
'Hmm… True, True. Let's do that. But, I have a question about the system first. Hey, system. Can we ever go back to being a single person again?' Ning B asked.
'That is a good question. Not being able to do what you want for 6 hours is too hard.' Ning A said.
<You can use the shop for that>
'The shop again?' Ning A said.
'How much further is that?' Ning B complained as well.
<Please gather more energy to unlock the shop>
The system gave an almost automated response to that question. Both of the Nings were used to it by now, so they didn't react to it much.
'Alright then, let's just go to sleep. It's kind of boring now.' Ning B said
'Yeah, system. Put us to sleep until we… uhh… until for 1 year?' Ning A asked.
'Hmm… no, what about 9 months. So we get to see the snow again?' Ning B said.
'Ooh, that's not a bad idea. I would love to see the snow again. Hey, system. Put us to sleep for 9 months.' Ning A said.
<Confirmed>
Slowly, both Ning started to wake up. 9 months had passed by, so they were expecting to have unlocked the next perk. The system had explained to them that the Omni-Directional vision meant that they had a constant vision over everything around them.
So, they were expecting to see the room they were just in around them. But what they actually saw was something totally different. It was something that could only be described as horrifying.
Numerous cries and screaming, bodies torn apart everywhere, red blood dying most of the snow in the ground.
'What is this?' Ning A said in a trembling voice.
'What the hell is this?' Ning B was also scared.
They also saw a bloodied Freya, who was now a bit older than 9 months ago. She was wearing a black sash around her robe, so she must've become someone important during their time asleep.
Thankfully, she was alive. At least for now.
Numerous notifications started ringing in their ears as the incoherent booms and clashes filled the battlefield. They quickly shut down the notifications and started focusing on the surrounding.
The first thing they noticed after that was that they were in the forests. The second thing was that there were a lot of people that were all fighting the monster-like animals in the jungle. The third thing they noticed was that the wall had been torn down by something and the hoard of monsters were entering there.
BOOM
A massive sound rang out in the sky. Both of the Nings immediately focused in the sky and saw a group of men fighting what looked like a flying tiger.
Freya moved her hand in front of her and 5 well-crafted ice puppets appeared in front of her, that started attacking the various monsters around them.
Freya on the other hand took her bloody self and little further and started fighting another animal.
