After saying goodbye to Eva, Wain headed into the woods behind the main base and found Forgotten. He was sitting huddled against a tree, pondering something.
"Good to see you." Forgotten said, looking at Wain.
"Me too. I need your help."
"Of course." Forgotten nodded and stood up, "What is required of me?"
'Visit (Mybo x novel. com) to read, pls!',
"I want to upgrade my Void rank, all the conditions have already been met, but I'm worried that we can't do it without you."

"I see. You will be attacked by a Second Chronicle Void and possibly one rank higher than yours. I will help you, but my goal will be to guard the portal from the invaders, not to capture the enemy Void. I can't defeat several thousand Second Chronicle creatures without serious injury, and I don't need to, so I'll stay put."
"No problem, I don't need more than that." Wain uttered, and his Seal of Darkness glowed brightly.
They entered a dimensional passage and found themselves in an ice cave.
p Wain explained the situation to Frigus, Elegan, and Reto and proceeded to raise the rank of the zone.
[The owner of Forest of Frozen Dreams gave his permission to increase the rank of the zone.]
A dark energy sphere burst out of Wain's body and split into hundreds of threads. They will increase the rank of the zone and strengthen it. The price for this will temporarily weaken the spatial barrier.
The monsters saw the message and prepared for battle. They knew that soon the Nahi would be attacked, and they would have to give it their all to stay alive.
As they expected, after a while, the space shook, and part of the ice wall began to collapse.
[Rank-C Void, Flaming Forest attacked Rank-D Void, Forest of Frozen Dreams. The war will continue until the space barrier is stable.]
Crackle.

The ice wall shattered into small shards, and powerful flames burst free. It was unusual and white like freshly fallen snow.
Wain frowned. He realized that the Void that had attacked them was under the control of Ashens. He thought there might have been serious problems because of this since the Ashens were, on average, much stronger than the monsters.
"Wow, what an interesting coincidence." Forgotten said smiling.
He took a step back and swung his sword. Forgotten would only defend, not attack. When enemies would enter the territory of the ice caves, his sword would head for their necks.
Whoooooosh.
A massive fireball came from the enemy side. Forgotten was about to repel it, but Frigus appeared before him, cutting the fireball in two with sharp sword thrusts.
Several more attacks followed, but Frigus easily got rid of them. He was significantly stronger than the other monsters before switching to Second Chronicle, and he hadn't changed since his evolution. Such attacks were nothing to him.
The Ashens realized that they would achieve nothing this way and decided to enter the portal in a small group of a few people.
The monsters instantly attacked them, but the Ashens drove them aside using a flame barrier. It burned the monsters, and they moved away to a safe distance.
"What? You Ashen?" Surprised, one of them said, looking at Forgotten.
"Yes, and I'm not going to have anything to do with you. You are nothing but fools walking in the path of the flame, denying our true nature." Forgotten said coldly and lunged with his sword.
A multitude of flame particles turned into a wave that rained down on the Ashens. They reacted instantly and strengthened their protective barrier, but the ash had no trouble overcoming the flames.
Particles of ash, like petals, left wounds on Ashens' bodies. They had no choice but to retreat temporarily, or they might die from bleeding. They turned and headed for the portal, but suddenly Wain appeared in front of them.
He swung his sword, and their heads fell to the ground, and a fountain of blood poured from their necks. The Soul of Ashen flew into his body.

Wain smiled and crushed his soul.
[You have acquired the Soul Essence of Ashen level 35.]
He felt a pleasant feeling of power spilling over his body.
'Damn, I'd forgotten how good it feels. Perhaps it's immoral to enjoy devouring someone else's soul, but at times like this, I don't care.'
Wain, as well as Forgotten, had no intention of attacking.
The Forest of Frozen Dreams had recently increased slightly and would add more resources once it was ranked higher. He did not need to capture an enemy zone, nor did he want to sacrifice his warriors for it.
Later, he could have started the war at any other time when the monsters were stronger. Unreasonable haste could have led to tragedy, and Wain understood that.
The Ashens were angry. The tactics Wain and Forgotten had chosen were the worst for them. They had to act quickly if they wanted to take the Void before the space barrier was restored.
In the Flaming Forest, there were not only Ashens but also monsters. Ashens quickly gathered their forces and, together with the monsters, tried to attack again.
Their tactics were simple. They wanted to crush their enemies by numbers, and they had a chance to do so, but they underestimated the strength of some of their opponents.
Forgotten turned the sword with its blade upward and swung it in a smooth top-down motion. Behind the sword appeared a wave of ash that split into several blades. They sliced dozens of monsters into pieces like discs before even setting foot in the ice caves.

"Go away. You don't stand a chance of winning. You are as weak as your flames, though the likes of you had no other option anyway." Forgotten said menacingly.
"Hey, you're Ashen like us. Why are you fighting against us? Wouldn't it be better to join us?" Said one of the Ashens, stepping forward.
He had pale skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. In his hand was a long sword with a razor-sharp blade.
"I don't care about you. Does it matter that we are of the same race? I fight on the side I want!"
