90 – Sharon Pierce’s Mother

Bodies pour down like a waterfall.

From noble mtl dot com

“It’s incredible.”

Yergina let out an exclamation.

Although she had the experience of a veteran for her age, she had never heard or seen anything like this.

The snowball mixed with dirt and corpses rolled to the end of the bridge terrain. After chopping up the last corpse…

— Kwaaa!

It hit something and fell in half.

Yergina fell silent for a moment at the magnificent sight.

She evaluated her Ian without realizing it.

‘He’s a great guy.’

Yergina watched the sparring from hiding.

Thanks to this, she had a very high opinion of Ian’s magical talent.

Although the amount of mana her Ian possessed was at an ordinary level, the clarity and purity of her mana was overwhelming.

It meant that her foundation had been strengthened to the extreme.

Therefore, there is no interruption or resistance when casting magic.

This was the reason why that boy was able to perform well compared to his status.

She had seen so many soldiers die in war who were caught up in the wrong basics, so she couldn’t help but think highly of her ideas.

‘In addition, you have judgment and application skills?’

It is like that even now.

They were difficult to deal with because they were enemies that showed moves beyond those of an expert when it comes to magical power. The number also reached thousands.

The ability to find the enemy’s weaknesses, understand the surrounding environment, and find ways to maximize one’s strengths.

In actual combat, talent was more important than combat ability.

It would have taken her, Yergina, and herself seven days and nights to get through that amount if she had reached the top 5 stars.

‘That in just a few minutes.’

Yergy I looked back at her Ian.

Her expression was calm, considering that she had accomplished such an incredible feat.

In battle, you need a sword as much as an appendix. Greed added to Yergina’s eyes as she looked at Ian.

“It was swept away cleanly.”

“It’s all thanks to Yergina’s performance in front of us.”

“Excessive humility doesn’t look good.”

Ian, who had been silent for a moment at Yergina’s joke, opened her mouth.

“Yes. Actually, I did everything. Please give me some money for the status.”

“Khahahaha!”

Yergina, laughing loudly, jumped out in front of her.

The heads of the remnants of the corpses crumbled into powder and fell as the mace was swinging.

“……”

Her Ian sighed softly.

Yergina’s eyes just now.

Her eyes looked like those of professors recruiting research students.

‘I thought I was going to be eaten.’

Burr.

Ian’s body trembled slightly.

There were many corpses that could not be solved with just her snowball.

Of course, Yergina’s performance was never lacking.

Every time she swung the huge ice mace, her corpses fell from the cliff. Because she was crushed every time she took a picture.

But sometimes avoiding her weapons was a problem.

Unlike Yergina, who had a lot of experience fighting on snow, the ground was too slippery for Ian and his group.

Because she was on a cliff at both ends, her tension and fatigue were double their normal levels. Somehow she managed to get to the front of the cave.

“Huhaaa.”

“Ha.”

Danya and Lina took a deep breath as if they were tired.

Although Ian didn’t notice it, her muscles were throbbing here and there.

The end of the bridge-shaped terrain.

Yergina stood in front of the entrance to the cave and opened her mouth.

“There is something like a transparent force field here.”

Every time she stretched out her hand at a certain point, a translucent wave arose, as if a stone had been thrown into a gentle wave.

“This is my first time seeing something like this.”

“Me too.”

After thinking for a moment, Yergina put her foot down.

“!”

She went inside without a word to stop her.

“It seems okay.”

Ian was surprised by her consistent behavior.

What kind of life has that woman lived?

‘He’s the person I want to make captain.’

Yergina chuckles at Ian’s shocked face.

“Don’t worry, come in. It must be a force field blocking those corpses. It felt like checking the level of life.”

“In that case.”

Ian enters the force field first. Danya and Lina followed suit.

The cave was warmer from the entrance than outside.

Although steam came out of my mouth, I wanted to give it a high score for the fact that there was no snow on the ground.

“Ha. I think it’s worth walking now.”

“It’s real.”

After walking a few minutes from the entrance, a huge cavity unfolded.

Subtle light coming through the layered ceiling.

Yergina looked around her and stood down.

“First of all, since many people are exhausted, I think it would be a good idea to set up an outpost here. Let’s rest for a while.”

Danya took out a bunch of items from her magic engineering backpack.

No. There were so many things to say.

An automatic tent that is the size of a coin and unfolds in an instant.

Bonfire.

Sleeping bag…

“Was there anything like this in it?”

“It was only after I received the backpack

– With this one, you can survive for a week in any crisis situation.

It seems that the words of the third princess who handed her backpack were not empty words.

— Crackling.

The bonfire burned down with a nice sound.

In a world where everything was white, there was a little red warmth.

After Lina and Danya ate their emergency food, she immediately fell asleep while sitting up.

I was exhausted after wandering in the snow for quite a long time.

Yergina spoke to Ian, who was quietly lost in his thoughts.

“I have no idea where this place is. You seem to have figured it out, though.”

“I know the purpose.”

“Purpose?”

“It is a type of barrier created by a Shale Cult. It is intended to gradually absorb those trapped within.”

“You mean this entire snow field?”

“Yes.”

Yergina closed her mouth without saying a word.

Crack. Widely.

Wait a moment to hear the sound of a bonfire burning.

She opened her mouth again.

“Then what about those corpses just now?”

“These are probably people whose life force has been mostly absorbed.”

“The corpses also responded to magical power.”

“Because the life force was absorbed first, the five senses were lost, but the reaction to mana would have remained.”

Yergina bit her lip.

“… All the circumstances certainly fit.”

Ian quietly waited for her next question.

“So, what on earth is the identity of the Shale Cult? If they are capable of doing something like this, they must be extremely powerful.”

Ian was worried for a moment.

Is it safe to say to a 5-star power with overwhelming destructive power, ‘Your father is that heinous Shale Cultist?’ In reality, it is no different from pad lip.

However, Ian did not think long.

Yergina, who seems like she will destroy anything, is ultimately a bloodline of the Pierce family. A cold coldness flows through her blood. Ian said she believed in that bloodline.

“Richard Pierce. The Grand Duke of the North.”

“Your father… Is a Shale Cultist?”

“Yes.”

Yergina’s brow narrowed at the firm answer.

“… If what you say is true, my father tried to devour not only me, but that bastard Herman as well.”

“Yes.”

“Ha!”

Yergina muttered to herself, cupping her forehead with her long fingers.

“… That’s for sure. There aren’t that many people capable of setting up this level of barrier and absorbing humans. However, isn’t he already the Grand Duke of the North? What are they aiming for…”

Yergina’s red eyes glowed menacingly between her fingers.

“You said you were the third princess’s plaything.”

“It’s not her plaything, but something similar. And she’s only cooperating with her for a little while.”

“Could it be that Shaleam Bridge is aiming for the throne?”

“I’m not sure about that.”

“It sounds like there is a possibility.”

“Yes.”

“Huh!”

Yergy I stared at her burning bonfire for a moment.

In her eyes, the bonfire seemed like the flames of hell that were now burning the entire empire.

“This is why you told me to look beyond the duke. To bring down the Northern Grand Duke.”

Now she had nothing to hide.

Ian nodded at her.

“That’s right.”

One moment. The energy emanating from Yergina’s eyes pressed heavily on her eyes.

These are the eyes that rushed into thousands of corpses.

With only her mental power, Ian took full advantage of her momentum.

“……”

Soon.

Yergina looked away.

“You… It’s hard to guess what you’re looking at.”

“Right now, we only want to solve the problems at hand.”

“The issue that the Northern Grand Duke is a member of the Shaleam Cult. How on earth were you planning to prove it?”

“Right now… My goal will be to get out of here.”

“That goal is the same as mine.”

“Yes.”

Yergina let out a long sigh.

“Even if it makes sense, I can’t immediately believe such shocking news. It’s an issue I need time to judge.”

“Yes.”

“However, getting out of here is the common goal. Let’s do our best.”

“Of course.”

It was unfortunate, but Ian nodded.

There was no evidence to prove that Richard Pierce was a Shale believer.

However, Yergina did not doubt herself. That fact alone was enough.

At that time.

Yergina suddenly narrowed her eyes.

“Just wait. Then…”

“?”

“Surely what you confessed to me back then was a lie?”

“……”

Ian swallowed his saliva.

Several seconds, which felt like an eternity, passed.

That moment.

— Jerk!

Someone’s footsteps were heard.

Yergina and Ian simultaneously turned their heads toward the sound.

The ends of royal blue hair disappeared into the narrow passage heading downwards.

“Have you seen it?”

“Wake up the kids.”

“It happened.”

It’s been a while since we last met, and her breathing has become easier.

She gathered only the bare minimum and walked straight toward the aisle where the people were.

The dark passage led downward.

“Ifrit.”

Walk down for a while, following the low light lit by Lina.

Danya pointed to a place.

“There are scratch marks on the wall here.”

“It’s a mark of a sword cut. Just a moment.”

Yergina’s eyes widened as she examined the traces.

“This… Is not an ordinary person of skill. He is one of the strongest men on the continent at the time.”

“A strong man?”

“Yes. Just because of his name, he is a top expert who is strong enough to be known to all warriors. In this person’s case… It’s as if the sword resembles a snowflake.”

“Why on earth are these traces here?”

“I’m not a swordsman, but some swordsmen say that you can learn the sword technique just by reading the sword lines engraved on the wall like this.”

After speaking, Yergina pulled out a mace from his thigh.

“That means that if this person becomes a moving corpse, we will never be able to see him lightly. Everyone, prepare. Rather than being ambushed, we will strike first.”

— Jeopuk. Jerk.

Walk like that for a while.

At some point, my vision became brighter.

There was so much heat around me that my winter clothes felt hot.

But there was no reason to suspect the sudden change in environment.

A cozy space that looks about the size of a classroom.

There was a woman standing there.

Long dark blue hair tied in a single strand.

Her pure white skin, which made her look somewhat sickly, was covered with a black uniform.

The white breath of the woman, who was looking round and round, spread warmly around her.

For some reason, I felt sickly in that appearance.

“Oh my. It’s been a while since I had a customer.”

She is a mature and dignified woman.

She looked warm, as if she were someone’s mother, but at the same time, she seemed young enough to be her mother.

Ian suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.

The woman in front of her looked like someone else.

“… Sharon Pierce?”

Hearing Lina’s muttering, a smile appeared on the somewhat pale woman’s face.

Her elegant smile was harmless enough to let go of any kind of wariness she had towards him.

“Do you know Sharon?”

“Ah… Yes.”

Lina glanced at Ian and answered.

Did I misunderstand that as a reluctance?

“Oh, look at my mind. She didn’t even introduce herself. I get called a lot for being rude.”

The woman opened her mouth as if making an excuse.

“My name is Sasha Asilia. I’m embarrassed to say it directly, but I’m also known as the Seolhwageomje. And.”

The woman placed her hand on her chest and slightly lowered her upper body.

“Sharon Pierce. She is his mother.”

There was someone there who should have definitely died.
