Almost the End

The Extreme Cold Hell is Extremis place ruled by Eternity winter. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast and boundless ice field. The thick ice layers are like huge mirrors, reflecting a cold and pale light.

A biting wind howled past, like a sharp arrow, carrying countless tiny ice shards, recklessly cutting through the air.

Above, snowflakes the size of newspapers fluttered down, like an endless white curtain, shrouding the whole world in a cold, hazy mist.

Vegapunk's Snow Machine was not used by the World Government to benefit humanity, but instead served as the foundation for the construction of the Extreme Cold Hell, producing snowflakes and ice 24 hours a day without interruption.

The temperature here has reached the limit that the Surveillance Den Den Mushi can withstand. Without the surveillance of the "Sky Eye," the prisoners on this floor feel a little bit of freedom.

In this icy and snowy landscape, a figure is struggling to move forward.

Pirate World Fang Yu shivered in the howling wind. The Prison Uniform he had just despised was now his only source of warmth, though its effect was minimal.

The Prison Uniform clung tightly to the skin, and with each step, a slight "ripping" sound could be heard from the friction between the clothing and the skin.

Ice crystals hung from his eyebrows, Sharingan would also be covered with a thin layer of ice after each three-second eye opening.

This forced Fang Yu to walk through the blizzard with his eyes closed and head down.

His legs were trembling violently, each lift feeling like a thousand pounds. He struggled to move through the deep snow, leaving a trail of crooked footprints that were quickly buried by the newly fallen snow.

This was his third day in the Extreme Cold Hell.

Wandering aimlessly through the desolate, Extreme Cold Hell, Fang Yu had no idea how big this place was, or whether he was going around in circles. He had only one thought in mind.

Find the forest on this level, start a fire with Great Fireball, and warm yourself up.

The heavy snow intensified, with snowflakes the size of newspapers falling like crazy, engulfing the entire world in a vast expanse of white.

Fang Yu was driven to the brink of despair by the torment.

He tried to wave his Ukaku to check the situation in the distance.

After flying for only a short while, the howling cold wind was too biting, and it crashed headfirst down.

Pirate World Fang Yu, who had just gotten back to his feet, trembled as he hugged himself.

Thinking that the Great Fireball Technique could temporarily make him feel better, he stood still with difficulty, and his frozen hands began to Hand Seal.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

A blazing fireball quickly formed in front of him, and the raging flames instantly dispelled the cold in a small area around him. The orange-red light shone on his face, which was frozen and bluish-purple, bringing him a moment of comfort.

However, this sliver of warmth seems so insignificant and powerless in the face of this Extreme Cold Hell.

After ten Great Fireball, the surrounding temperature had just begun to rise slightly, and before Fang Yu's body could recover any vitality, the heavy snowstorm surged in again, mercilessly covering the environment warmed by the Great Fireball once more.

The coldness engulfed him once again like a tidal wave, and the glimmer of hope that had just appeared was instantly extinguished by this cruel reality.

Fang Yu's body had already reached its limit. After this last glimmer of hope was shattered, his legs could no longer support him, and he fell forward onto the snow, raising a cloud of cold snow mist.

His consciousness gradually blurred, and he felt as if all the blood in his body had frozen. The coldness in his body and the despair in his heart intertwined, plunging him into an endless abyss of darkness.

Only the heavy snow continued to fall incessantly on his cold body.

"Awoo!"

I don't know how much time has passed.

Fang Yu felt a constant stinging pain all over his body. He tried to turn over, but found himself being torn apart by something.

He struggled to open his eyes, and the scene before him filled him with both anger and joy!

What comes into view is a forest covered in silver.

The tall trees were bent over by the heavy snow, looking like hunchbacked old men shivering in the cold wind.

Around him, three tiger-sized Military Wolf surrounded him, emitting low growls, their sharp fangs still stained with traces of blood.

Their fierce eyes revealed their hunger, and they were baring their teeth at each other in a struggle for "ownership" of Fang Yu's body.

A wolf bit Fang Yu's left arm tightly, its claws digging deep into his skin.

Two Military Wolf stood by, watching intently, waiting for the right moment to join in the "spoils of war."

It seems he was dragged into the forest by the Military Wolf.

A surge of anger welled up in Fang Yu's heart!

He almost died in the heavy snow!

At this moment, the Military Wolf seemed to have reached a consensus. The Military Wolf that was biting Fang Yu's arm grunted and released Fang Yu's left arm. It looked down and glanced at the Military Wolf opposite it, which was a size larger than it, and gave up the food that it had finally obtained.

The large wolf revealed a very human-like smug expression, trotted over to Fang Yu, opened its blood-red mouth, and prepared to eat!

Just as the large wolf smugly opened its blood-red maw, preparing to enjoy its "delicacy"...

With a "plop" sound!

A tail hook gleaming with a blood-red light, like an incomparably sharp spear, suddenly shot out from behind Fang Yu and pierced through the Military Wolf's upper jaw with lightning speed!

With tremendous force, the Tail pierced straight through its hard skull, emerging from the top of its head. Crimson blood gushed out instantly, staining the surrounding white snow red!

The Military Wolf didn't even have time to let out a scream. It just howled once, then its eyes widened, its body went limp, and it collapsed to the ground, completely lifeless.

The other two Military Wolf were terrified when they saw this. They never expected that the human on the ground, who was on the verge of death and about to become their meal, would suddenly grow such a terrifying tail.

They instinctively took a step back, crouched slightly, and let out a low growl from their throats, baring their sharp fangs fiercely as if trying to mask their inner fear.

However, the fear in their eyes was soon replaced by hunger and wildness. After all, food was so scarce in this Extreme Cold Hell, and the human in front of them was their hope for survival.

At that moment, the two Military Wolf leaped high into the air and pounced on Fang Yu with a fierce attack, as if they wanted to tear Fang Yu to pieces instantly.

However, just as they leaped into the air, a cold smile curled at the corner of Fang Yu's mouth.

The two Military Wolf missed their target and instead took a big bite of the cold snow.

It's a clone!

Before they could react, Fang Yu, who had dodged to the side, seized the opportunity and Hand Seal again!

A blazing fireball roared out, precisely engulfing the two Military Wolf.

The fireball instantly engulfed the two Military Wolf, the scorching flames igniting their fur. They struggled painfully in the fire, emitting mournful howls that echoed through the silent forest, only to be quickly drowned out by the howling wind.

After a short while, the two Military Wolf stopped moving.

Upon seeing the Military Wolf's corpse, Fang Yu's eyes lit up!

Half an hour later

A figure covered in a furry Wolf Skin, holding a robust, roasted wolf leg, continued walking through the Extreme Cold Hell.

Searching for traces of the Okama Paradise located on level 5.5 of Impel Down.
