Sword God in a World of Magic

Alex stepped onto the ice.

The surroundings became even colder as Alex walked forward.

However, Alex quickly noticed something that would change the entire dynamic of the fight.

Alex nearly fell over as his feet lost their grip.

'It's fucking ice! How could I have overlooked something like that?!' he thought in frustration.

Alex stabbed his sword into the ice. The sword easily entered the ice, almost like it didn't exist.

Then, Alex pushed himself forward, using his sword as an anchor point in the ice.

Alex practiced a bit to get used to his new form of movement.

After some minutes, Alex had a good grasp on how to move properly on the ice. Luckily, the bear was still sleeping. It either didn't notice him, or Alex didn't feel dangerous enough for it to care.

Alex looked at the bear with narrowed eyes. 'It can use its claws to run on the ice. It has the advantage in that sense.'

Then, Alex smirked. 'However, the ice can also be disadvantageous to it if I use it correctly.'

Then, Alex slid forward.

After around 200 meters of gliding across the lake, the bear opened its eyes and lifted its head as it looked at Alex.

Alex's heart jumped as their gazes met.

'Powerful!' Alex thought. 'But I can't always live in safety! If I want power, I have to push myself!'

The two only gazed at each other for several seconds.

CRRRR!

After the bear saw that Alex didn't move, it started to silently growl, the vibrations going across the lake.

'It either feels threatened or annoyed by me,' Alex thought.

Alex continued sliding forward.

When the bear saw that Alex didn't retreat, it stood up as it turned to him. Its growl became louder as it tried to scare Alex away.

Alex came closer.

Now, only 100 meters separated them.

Suddenly, the cold air around the bear transformed into a cold storm.

The bear took a deep breath, and Alex felt his hairs stand on end.

Alex immediately jumped to the side.

SHING!

A spear made of ice whizzed past Alex's body with insane speeds.

BANG!

The spear of ice punched through a tree and got stuck in the tree behind that one.

Alex took a deep breath.
