Living With My Lady Boss

Just as the liquid woman's voice echoed through the air, the seawater rose up around Wilbur into four walls that stood hundreds of meters tall. They connected with each other rapidly, forming a cube on the ocean.

In the next moment, the seawater that had been flowing along the cube froze solid. A piercing cold spread out, and it was not long before the space in the entire cube was completely frozen. Yet the cold did not stop there, as even the seawater that splashed up within the cube was frozen into a long, spindly pillar of ice.

Wilbur, hovering in mid-air, thought that he would not be affected. Just as the thought had entered his head, a piercing chill struck him as frost appeared on his hair, clothes, and shoes.

Within the blink of an eye, Wilbur was frozen in place. Having lost the support of his energy aura, he began to fall from mid-air before landing heavily on the ice at the bottom.

The ice cracked, and the cold seeped through the cracks as they began to freeze up again. Wilbur heaved a sigh of relief, but he could not move and was forced to just stand there as his mind raced to come up with an idea to escape.

Just then, the liquid woman waved a hand. "Up!"

The frozen cube began to rise into the air, and the liquid woman stared at Wilbur coldly. "Didn't you promise the Child of Light that you'd save the world? Well, give it a try! See if the light in your heart can melt this frozen space. If you can't even do that, your whole mission to save the world is positively laughable. I don't like dealing with losers and weaklings. I'll give you an hour. If you can't melt this space by then, I'll crush the whole cube to dust, with all your hopes and dreams along with it."noveldrama

Wilbur's eyes widened with shock from within the cube. He had witnessed the liquid woman's power before but did not expect it to be increased to this extent within the magical tower.

The next hour was up to him now.

What was the true meaning of light, then?

Only a person with a heart of light could produce light energy to melt all the ice and snow in the world.

Wilbur used his mind, and a warmth began to spread through his body. Heat radiated off Wilbur, and the layer of ice covering him began to crack. Within a minute, Wilbur was able to move his body again. His light aura exploded, shattering the layer of ice completely as crushed icicles scattered all over the floor.

Wilbur felt as if there was a flame burning brightly within him. Just then, something dashed past the cube out of nowhere. Wilbur turned around sharply and saw that it was now behind him.

A ball of cold air was currently hurtling toward him.

"Arghhh!"

Wilbur let out a cry, striking the ball of cold air and shattering it. A thin layer of ice appeared around his right arm, but his body surged with the power of light, cracking that layer of ice in the next second.

Another gust of cold air swept past him on the left, and Wilbur whipped around once more. He was surprised by the sight. From the side, there seemed to be gusts of cold air flying around all four sides of the cube. Wilbur furrowed his brows as an ominous feeling washed over him.

"Crap, I don't think this is just any regular cold air."

Wilbur activated his mind just as a ball of cold air flew out from each of the four icy walls around him. They hurtled towards Wilbur, and he cast a light barrier around him with a thought at the very last second.
