Chapter 2350  Frosell, Snow Elven Race, Glacier Plague

Date: Unspecified Time: Unspecified Location: Myriad Realms, Lil. Red Storm, Seed World, Trophy Section, Duel Realm, Crafting Sector, Venue: Chaos Dwarven Forge.

Froslings, the frost-born younglings, were a unique offshoot of the snow elven race, native to the icy realm of Frosell—known as the Frost h.e.l.l. Their peaceful existence changed forever when the Devil Merchant Code selected a young Frosling warrior to become the first of her kind to ascend as a Frosling Demon Merchant. Driven by unyielding ambition, she was willing to sacrifice anything to achieve her goals.

Upon discovering the artificial demon cores, she abandoned the traditional power system of her people—a system where reaching the Devil Realm was little more than a distant myth. Embracing the dark realm's power, she forged her path to ascendancy, ultimately achieving the rank of Devil Merchant.

With her newfound power, she subdued her entire tribe, gifting them artificial demon cores, introducing them to the dark realm's power system. This marked a dramatic s.h.i.+ft for the Froslings of Frosell, as they adopted the dark realm's power system. Empowered and unified under her rule, she marshaled her demon core-imbued army to conquer the Frosell itself. From every corner of the realm, she extracted its resources, channeling them into exchanges with the Devil Merchant Code. These trades fed her insatiable hunger for power, propelling her closer to becoming a Ruler-Cla.s.s being.

However, she soon realized the limitations of her native realm's bounty. The wealth of Frosell could only take her so far. Resolute in her ambitions, she turned to a darker path: the trafficking of her own people. Exploiting the uncanny resemblance between Froslings fused with demon cores and the Snow Elves from dark realm, she began selling them as slaves across the inter-realm network. Snow Elves, prized for their rarity and beauty, commanded astronomical prices, and her scheme thrived.

Her slave trade became a monumental success. The first Frosling Demon Merchant grew infamous, becoming one of the most sought-after and feared dealers in the inter-realm network. Yet, fame bred enemies. The Snow Elves, appalled by what they saw as a betrayal by one of their own, launched an investigation to uncover how a supposed Snow Elf could stoop so low—and, more importantly, where she was sourcing so many slaves. Misidentifying her as one of their own, they placed a ma.s.sive bounty on her head and initiated an unrelenting hunt to bring her to justice.

Since the first Frosling Devil Merchant did not originate from the Dark Realm, her pursuers were unable to corner her within its surface. That was, until one fateful day when her rival slave traders and the vengeful Snow Elves orchestrated an elaborate trap. Under the guise of brokering an unprecedented deal, they lured her into the Dark Realm and marked her with a powerful tracking spell, intent on hunting her down once and for all.

Chosing to cut off from returning to her native realm, unwilling to expose the secret location of her personal "farm" of artificial Snow Elves, the first Frosling Devil Merchant made a desperate decision. She sought refuge in the Winter Valley—one of the thirteen deadliest places in the Dark Realm.

The Winter Valley, a perilous mountain range perpetually gripped by the harshest winters, was a forbidden zone even among the Dark Realm's boldest denizens. Its frigid expanse was infamous for the Glacier Plague—a s...o...b..rne illness that thrived solely in the valley's extreme environment. Any being that dared to tread there inevitably succ.u.mbed, frozen into lifeless ice statues. Even mighty ruler-cla.s.s beings had attempted to plunder the valley's secrets, resources, and treasures, but few ever returned, and those who did brought only tales of death and despair.

Thus, it was a tremendous shock to the Snow Elves when they discovered that the elusive slave trader—whom they believed to be one of their own—had not only survived within the Winter Valley but had endured long enough for the tracking spell to expire. This revelation caused a stir among the Snow Elves, particularly as they, natives of the Dark Realm, knew full well that even their kind could not survive the Glacier Plague. The mere idea that someone with their appearance could resist the valley's deadly curse was nothing short of extraordinary.

Word of this immunity quickly spread across the Dark Realm, thanks in part to the rival slave traders who collaborated with the Snow Elves. Soon, the entire realm buzzed with rumors of a Snow Elf immune to the Glacier Plague. The hunt for this anomaly intensified, as curious and greedy factions vied to uncover the truth. Simultaneously, owners of enslaved Snow Elves began conducting tests, hoping to determine whether their slaves shared this remarkable immunity—a discovery that could turn their slaves into treasures of unimaginable value.

As a result of these discoveries, the dark races learned that all the fake Snow Elves sold by the first Frosling Devil Merchant were, in fact, immune to the Glacier Plague. Upon interrogating these slaves, they uncovered a memory-ban spell that had altered and suppressed their recollections. Determined to uncover the truth, the Dark Realm's most brilliant minds worked tirelessly to break the spell. When they succeeded, the full story of the Froslings and their immunity came to light.

The revelation triggered a frenzied race among the dark races to claim owners.h.i.+p of Frosell, the Frost h.e.l.l, from the devil merchant code. However, one race emerged victorious: the Abominable Snow Demon Race. Ruthless and calculating, they moved swiftly to secure their prize.

The reign of the first Frosling Devil Merchant came to a decisive and brutal end as the Abominable Snow Demons enslaved the remaining Froslings and obliterated the realm of Frosell within a mere 48 hours. This rapid destruction ensured no other factions in the Dark Realm could challenge their claim out of greed and compet.i.tion to unravel the secrets of Frosell's unique immunity to the Glacier Plague first.

To placate the other dark races and avoid criticism, the Abominable Snow Demon Race auctioned off half of Frosell's realm fragments and a portion of the enslaved Froslings to the highest bidders. Yet, despite countless experiments and studies, no one was able to uncover a definitive cure for the Glacier Plague. However, it was observed that individuals who used Frosell's realm fragments displayed immunity to the deadly plague.

This led the dark races to conclude that the Froslings' immunity was not an innate racial trait but a blessing derived from their homeland, Frosell's will. Overnight, the value of Frosling slaves plummeted, and many were freed, stripped of their once-prized research significance.

Having lost their native realm, the displaced Froslings had no choice but to make their home in the harsh and unforgiving Dark Realm. Fortunately, they were welcomed by the Snow Elves, who saw in them kindred spirits, if not equals. While the Snow Elves offered the Froslings a refuge, they stopped short of treating them as peers. Nevertheless, the Froslings found themselves fortunate to have a place of shelter amid the Dark Realm's hostility and dangers.
