[You have dismantled the Courage, obtaining Wood*249, Cloth*45, Stone*150, Steel*13, Sulfur*32] (The hole in the hull resulted in fewer materials.)Before Yang Yi's eyes, the Courage dissolved into a shower of resources that flew toward the Nyxstar.Without the ship's structure to support them, the bonfires on the deck collapsed into a heap of ruins. Ma Hou's corpse was among the wreckage, shattered into several large pieces. If he'd had a fire, Yang Yi wouldn't have minded giving the man a proper cremation. But he didn't, and his spells had no effect on the dead.Using his third eye to pierce the white fog, Yang Yi locked onto the Nyxstar's position and took off at a run.It was time to leave this glacier.Meanwhile, aboard the Nyxstar.After being woken by Yang Yi, Suna had gone straight to the witch's lab. With no one to disturb her, she could throw herself into her research and explore the unknown.On the table lay the skin fragments of the Ice-nest believer. Suna got out paper and a pen, trying to sketch and piece them together. After nearly half an hour of fiddling, she'd made no progress. It felt like something was missing. The skin fragments were from different individuals; reassembling them into a coherent whole was proving to be nearly impossible.Suna racked her brain until, suddenly, inspiration struck.She thought of the runes she'd seen when Yang Yi used his magic—the ones that had transformed into tiny spiders and repaired his severed hand. What if she compared the two sets of runes, fused them…?Suna immediately sprang into action, drawing directly on the floor. As if guided by an epiphany, she retrieved the five unfortunate fire-fleece spiders that had frozen to death and placed their bodies on the ground. She then sliced off a dozen tentacles from the juvenile Pale Worm and added them to the pile.She continued her drawing, sketching out patterns that most people would find impossible to comprehend—a fusion of the Limb Restoration runes and the runes from the believer's skin, all filtered through her own unique understanding. A complex magical circle, dizzying to look at and filled with irregular geometric shapes, took form.When she was finished, Suna was drenched in sweat, but her face was alight with pure, unadulterated excitement.[You have created the spell—Summon Abomination]The moment the prompt appeared, the spell activated.The pile of tentacles and the five fire-fleece spiders began to move, their flesh knitting together into a brand-new monster. The spiders stacked themselves on top of each other like a game of Jenga, their legs twitching. From the very top sprouted the dozen Pale Worm tentacles, each as thick as a thumb, writhing like soft feelers.Suna was mesmerized, staring at her creation. Her Sanity didn't drop a single point.She began to test it, seeing what commands the abomination could follow. After a few experiments, she discovered it possessed almost no intelligence and acted as a simple puppet, obeying her commands without question.She opened her character panel to view the spell.[Summon Abomination:A unique spell created by the witch Suna.Requires a ritual circle and sufficient flesh and blood to cast. Minimum mana cost: 7.The higher the quality of the flesh and the more mana invested, the stronger the resulting abomination.The abomination's duration is affected by temperature and environment, and it will degrade through combat.Under normal temperatures, it will collapse and disintegrate after 12-48 hours.]Suna's spirit had grown; she could now cast 7-mana spells. This abomination was a loyal servant that would never betray her and would resolutely carry out her orders—as long as they weren't too complex. It could attack, guard, follow, and move forward or backward. The most complicated task it could probably manage was sweeping the floor… and it wouldn't know when to stop.Just as she was testing it, she received a message from Yang Yi. He was back.Half an hour later, Yang Yi returned to the Nyxstar and let Suna know. He went to the captain's cabin first to wash his face and wipe himself down. His previous down jacket and sweater were toast, but thankfully he had a spare sweater. ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) Paired with the new cotton coat, he didn't feel the cold. The sharkskin swimsuit he wore underneath had survived the fire, as he'd taken it off in time. He stuffed it in his wardrobe, deciding to save it for when he needed to swim. Until he found better swimming gear, it was still very valuable.He checked his messages; no one had replied. It seemed icebreaker equipment was extremely rare. He tried contacting Song Yingwen to ask if he had any leads, but the result was disappointing. Song said he'd only ever seen one piece of ice-breaking ship equipment, something called an "Impact Power Hammer," which had been bought by the New World Fleet. Buying it from them was a practical impossibility. Other similar equipment might exist, but no one was selling. Such items were basically one-of-a-kind.Yang Yi abandoned the idea of buying equipment and moved on to Plan B: Arson.He called Suna up to the deck, but when she appeared, he was startled by the monster at her side. A walking stack of spiders with tentacles for a head?[Ugly monster. Your Sanity has decreased by 3.]"What… what the hell did you make?" Yang Yi felt a chill that had nothing to do with the temperature."I did. It's a puppet I created with magic," Suna replied."Magic…" Yang Yi knew Suna could use magic, but he never expected it to be this… weird."What happened to your clothes?" Suna noticed his change of attire."Accidentally got burned. It's fine, I can make these cotton coats now," he replied. Speaking of which, he remembered he had something for her."Right, I found a spellbook on that ship. You should take a look."A charred black book materialized in his hand. It was badly burned, the edges already turning white."A spellbook…" Suna was surprised at first, then her bright red eyes lit up and she lunged for it. But she missed; Yang Yi had already retracted it into his worm-ring."You!" Suna felt like she was being toyed with."Hold on, calm down and listen to me," Yang Yi said, holding up a hand. "Just looking at this book will cost you 20 Sanity. And while you're reading it, the book radiates intense heat. There's a risk it'll catch fire. If you want to read it, you'd better do it soaked in water."Only then did Suna notice that Yang Yi's eyelashes were completely gone, likely burned off, and the ends of his hair and eyebrows were curled from heat."Ask me for it again when your Sanity is back above 70. It's too low right now, only 54," he added.Suna was clearly annoyed, but she didn't lash out. She simply glanced at Yang Yi's Sanity, saw it was only at 13, and a feeling of pure jealousy welled up inside her."What an enviable… ability!" she thought to herself.
