98 – Escape (2)

The corpses here are like dregs that have had most of their life force absorbed.

Just as it is natural for those who die of thirst in the desert to be obsessed with water, it is also natural for the corpses here to be obsessed with vitality.

As there were so many people that Richard swallowed, there was a need for tension wherever he went.

But I never thought such a strange-looking guy would come out.

‘Did they come together in a spherical shape to avoid losing the remaining vitality?’

While Ian was analyzing what looked like a huge cancerous lump, Danya muttered distantly.

“It’s like a ball made of corpses…”

The unknown voices coming from the hundreds of mouths of the gaping corpses were also bizarre.

The countless arms moving ceaselessly as if asking for help naturally aroused fear.

Danya had seen many things to see and not see while living in the forest, but she had never seen anything so bizarre.

If there is hell, I wonder if that is hell.

Danya, who was looking at the corpse monster, shouted urgently.

“Avoid!”

As soon as Danya spoke, the corpse monster emitted pitch-black energy.

― Cheezy!

Snow melting away, emitting black smoke,

The tree turned into black powder and disappeared.

“That’s huge.”

Yergina looked down at her half-broken shield.

I tried surrounding her magic around her shield to estimate the strength of her opponent. It means that she is an opponent strong enough to cut through her magic without any chance.

“Everyone, step back.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Yergina’s new weapon was fired.

– Quang!

A huge sound erupted.

One side of the spherical bundle of corpses was crushed like a bitten apple.

But soon other things came out from inside and filled the empty space of the broken body.

“… Disgusting.”

Yergina immediately widened the distance.

Pabababak!

The black energy of her corpse monster once again exploded where she was standing.

Yergina attacks once again.

But he was strong.

– Pow!

– Quang!

– Kuuung!

Despite all of Yergina’s attacks, her corpse monster immediately regains its original state and counterattacks her.

This guy shows a tremendous response to attacks using mana, just like other corpses.

‘We must not enter a long-term war like this.’

Everyone, including Yergina, had to be kept in top physical condition. If you leave this damn snowy field, the final boss will be waiting for you.

‘But that doesn’t make sense for me to participate in the war.’

There was no energy for Ian to waste here. The way to destroy Richard’s dantian was in Ian’s hands.

The unique characteristics of those damn corpses.

Mana evasion is the root of all problems.

How should I solve this…

‘Wait.’

An idea passed through Ian’s mind.

What if you attack by disguising magical power as life force?

It will definitely rush towards the magic power on its own. And in this worldview, the most similar life spirit is the reaction of grass and water.

‘The only problem is that there is no water…’

… Wouldn’t it be possible to melt it and use it?

Ian started ordering right away.

“Yergina! “Please freeze the surface of that monster!”

“Hmm? “I understand first.”

Yergina approaches the corpse monster.

The volume of the mace quickly expands along with the ice on the surface.

– Kkeeek!

A blow from a mace full of cold freezes ice on the corpse monster.

“Lina, melt the ice!”

“Huh? Huh!”

I had to work so hard to freeze it, but now I have to thaw it again?

Lina was embarrassed, but she immediately followed Ian’s orders.

In my experience, when Ian gives orders like that, nothing goes wrong.

The fire passes by and melts the frozen ice.

As steam rose, the surface of the corpse monster became moist.

“Danya!”

“I know!”

Numerous grass attribute arrows were summoned above the corpse monster.

… When did you learn something like that?

It was a while before I looked in amazement at Danya’s abilities that had grown to the next level.

Numerous grass arrows rained down on the corpse monster.

Originally, that corpse monster would have avoided it.

With the interaction between the elements, numerous flower buds bloomed on Danya’s arrows.

It took a moment for the corpse monster’s eyes to turn back as it was filled with vitality.

― Pababababak!

Magic arrows rained down and filled the surface of the thing.

― Gwaaa!

It was an effective hit.

At the same time.

― That’s right!

― Gurgling!

A bizarre scene unfolded.

Actually, the corpses that should have immediately repaired their collapsed shells tried to jump out as if they were preying on each other. To catch Danya’s arrow full of vitality.

“Yergina!”

“I know!”

Yergina’s ice mace, which had already grown in size with magical power, was so large that it could easily cover the creature.

Her mace fell precisely at the center of the corpse monster.

― Kuwaaang!

A tremendous tremor shaking the ground.

Most of the corpse monsters were crushed and disappeared.

Completely out of balance, they devour each other ravenously.

― Kkakdeukdeuk!

A bizarre sight of a corpse chewing on a corpse.

Ian, who was frowning at that, heard a sneeze in his ears.

“Cough.”

Bright red blood stains the eyes.

It was Asilia’s.

“Master!”

Ian ran straight to her and helped her up.

“… I have no one but a disciple.”

It’s cold.

Asilia’s body was as cold as touching ice.

“As expected…”

Asilia blocked Ian’s mouth as he tried to say something.

“… It was good to have disciples. “They show such sincere concern.”

I guessed.

From Noble mtl dot com

The cave was a space that somehow supported Asilia’s vitality.

Now that she’s out like this, her remaining life is probably being used up quickly.

“How can I do it?”

”It’s okay. “I’m just dizzy for a moment.”

“……”

“I’m rather worried about my student’s face. “I’m afraid I’ll get wrinkles for no reason.”

Asilia’s hand touched Ian’s eyebrows.

Quuk.

“What I was waiting for was not someone’s salvation.”

Asilia touched Ian’s face like she was kneading clay.

“There is enough time to see the end of this place. That was your teacher’s goal. So, avoid your face.”

Asilia frowned at Ian.

But there was actually a faint sadness in her smile.

“It would have been better if we had met outside.”

There was a small commotion.

The group that was finishing off the corpse monster has returned.

Danya came running and looked at Ian and Asilia’s faces in turn.

“W-what’s going on? Blood? “Are you okay, Asilia?”

“Miss Danya. “I’m fine.”

“Ha, but!”

“Master, it’s okay. “Let’s go according to plan.”

Quuk.

Danya grabbed the hem of her clothes.

Then she turned around and started walking.

The companions followed Danya without notice.

“……”

When their backs were turned away.

Ian quietly turned his back to his teacher and knelt down on his knees.

― Sreuk.

Without saying anything, Master was placed on his back.

It was infinitely light in weight.

One flower, two flowers.

The snow started to fall.

Ian cautiously took his steps towards the summit.

“There are many stories I want to tell.”

“If you tell me I’m busy, I think I can listen to everything while I go.”

I couldn’t see Master’s face, but I imagined her smiling.

“Master, what did you hope for and wait for so many years?”

“Ian, I hope that a great student like you will come someday. And I guess there is an expectation that one day we can destroy this place. Actually, it was actually better. “There were unlimited hot springs and plenty of time to refine my sword skills.”

“Then…”

Ian tried to swear revenge.

Her revenge on Richard for making her come here.

But. It was a pity that I had time to say something so obvious.

“Isn’t that pure white snow field so pretty?”

Asilia spoke naturally.

You have been trapped here for decades.

Nevertheless, it remains strong without any disruption.

I learned a lot.

This is not simply a story about swordsmanship.

The most difficult enemy.

I learned values to respond to Shaleam Bridge.

If he hadn’t met her, Ian himself would have fallen hard for her someday.

Ian put all those words into one sentence.

“Thank you. “For being my teacher.”

There was a moment of silence.

“Thank you too. “For being my disciple when I am so lacking.”

I reached the top.

An endless snowy field spread out beneath my feet.

“… It was an eye-shaped jinn.”

Yergina’s murmur was heard.

Ian followed her and closed her eyes.

I could feel heterogeneous energies flowing across the snowy field. It was a snow particle-shaped barrier so huge that it covered the snow field beyond the horizon.

“All of that from Master?”

“Well, all I have is what I created from the beginning and have maintained consistently. “I was really cool when I was young, hahahaha.”

― Hwieeeing

The wind got stronger.

The falling snow gradually began to become rougher.

“Richard’s mana movement is intensifying.”

“Now Ian, it’s time for you to show.”

Ian nodded.

I carefully placed Asilia against the tree.

And then he took out a sword, which was once a staff.

Ian stood at the starting point of Jin.

“Phew.”

Now, the business here at Richard Danjeon is over. If you escape, you will immediately have to face the final boss, Richard.

But I wasn’t worried.

Sasha Asilia, who opposed Richard.

Because she received the teachings of her teacher.

“……”

She nodded her head, looking at her Ian.

Ian slowly raised his sword.

She felt snowflakes accumulating on her sword.

She felt the weight of the snowflakes.

She lifted her shaking branches, unable to bear the weight.

And then.

Asilia lowered her sword and traced the path she had made.

There was no need for fancy sword dance.

Black flowers were in full bloom along the road.

As a result, a huge jinn is activated.

I felt helpless for a moment as all my magic was drained away.

― Kugu Palace

A huge roar comes from far away.

Seolwon tossed and turned his huge body as if he was breathing heavily.

The world began to fall apart.
