Return of the Frozen Player 512
Position difference (3)
Silence fell.
Bukkake, Ramadat asked, scratching his trapezius muscle.
“What is that?”
“what? Do you not know the glory days?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never even seen the Wild Age that the ice kid recommended.”
“It’s ridiculous. It is the age of the savages.”
“It’s really ridiculous… …
With a light sigh, Ms. Skaya began the lecture.
“Now, the Age of Glory is a super-ancient civilization that blossomed a brilliant civilization that is considered to have laid the foundation for the current Ruben Empire.”
“I think I’ve heard of it too.”
At least an intellectual, Son Chae-won nodded.
“I heard that the magic circuits and magic formulas used by the people of the Frontier were greatly influenced by the records left in the Age of Glory, is that true?”
“yes! Now we can talk! Everyone knows the first great mage, right? The person who built the Mage Tower hundreds of years ago and also made the Black Field.”
This time everyone nodded.
“Strictly speaking, he is also the first
I am not a great mage.”
Skaja shook the booklet of chaos magic.
“After all, I learned magic by watching this.”
“hmm… … It was an era when magic was developed that much?”
“Borrowing the expression of the few remaining records, magic at that time was able to take the place of a god.”
Everyone laughed. I think it’s too exaggerated.
One player raised his hand and asked a question.
“Skaya-sama, why did the intellectuals with that level perish?”
“There are two main theories.”
first. An angry god sent down a very powerful gate to punish the arrogant humans.
second. For unknown reasons, humans self-destructed.
“Anyone can see that the first one seems to be the right one? In fact, the Ruben Empire also claims that.”
“That is not necessarily the case. Recall the ecosystem of the current Frontier.”
The frontier’s ecosystem.
Seo Jun-ho naturally thought of people like orcs and kobolds, elves and dwarves.
Certainly, they possess great power by ordinary human standards.
“… … But they said they even surpassed the position of a god, but those monsters must have been funny.”
“that’s right. So I personally support the second theory.”
Humans self-destructed for unknown reasons, huh?
Seo Jun-ho nodded and asked.
“Let’s wrap it up. First of all, the language used by the giant in the video is the language used in the Age of Glory, right?”
“that’s right. It is a language that is now called an ancient language in the Frontier.”
“Ancient… … So what happened?”
Each player was lost in thought.
To think that the monster he encountered on the 7th floor spoke a language that disappeared thousands of years ago in Frontier.
Mio muttered with a serious face.
“There are two major hypotheses.”
“One is if the survivors left the universe before the fall of the glory days?”
If this is the planet they fled from, it makes a neat explanation.
However, if the second hypothesis is correct, the situation becomes difficult.
“… … It must be the case when we have come to the glory days.”
It’s obviously time travel.
It was a form that had never been seen before.

The next morning, a meeting of all players was held.
The party leaders who shared the facts they had learned last night each nodded.
“Indeed, somehow it felt like they were having a conversation with each other.”
“That was an ancient language… …
“Well, finding out the identities of enemies one by one in this way will help us to attack.
It will work.”
Trouble came from an unexpected place.
“It’s a strategy, I think that’s an issue that needs more thought.”
Master of the Big 5, the Silver Constellation Guild.
Christine Lewis, dressed in a gorgeous white priestly robe, opened her mouth.
Ramadat crossed his arms and asked with a frown.
“What bullshit. Why do you think that?”
“hey! No matter how heroic you are, your words are rude to the Master!”
“it’s okay.”
Christine, who reached out with one hand to dissuade the guild members, smiled.
“Having a unique language means that the other party is an intelligent body. If we hunt them down, how will it be any different than when Gates invaded Earth in the past?”
“… … We came here to attack.”
“If the other person is really the ancestor of the frontier, there is a possibility that he is a human like us.”
” human?”
Ramadat snorted.
“Your stomach is better than it looks. I don’t think those giants are human beings.”
“But I’m sure the conversation will work. In short, we have the option of negotiation.”
“Negotiation? Are you saying you’re going to tell those giants to hand over their floor masters?”
“If only I could shed less blood. It must be so.”
If this was the Silver Constellation, and it was also Christine Lewis’ personal position,
It would have been dismissed as a simple happening.
“Hmm, sure, if the other person is an intelligent person, can’t we have a conversation?”
“Because there are already precedents like Frontier and Neo City.”
“… … More than anything, it makes me feel like I’m becoming an invader.”
A significant number of players were swayed by the option of peace, which could be resolved through dialogue.
Of course, the majority shouted for a decisive battle.
“Is everyone crazy? What are you talking about monsters?”
“My colleague is dead! Yesterday too! Right in front of my eyes!”
“The opponent is only thinking of killing this side, what? conversation?”
When the atmosphere of the investigation team split into two became ugly, Son Chae-won quickly opened her mouth.
“Then let’s try it at least once. It’s good if the conversation goes through that way, or you can hunt them down without any regrets. How about it, isn’t this reasonable?”
“I agree! let me talk I must be the only one who knows the ancient language in the first place
Because it’s the same.”
When even Skaya raised her hand in sympathy, public opinion quickly turned to her.
‘If you try to talk once and fail, it’s hunting.’
Not bad either way.
If the conversation really works like it did in Frontier, there must be a lot to be gained through it.
Seo Jun-ho stood up from his seat.
“It seems I have come to a rough conclusion. Then, today our party will visit the giants.”
To be honest, I’m not looking forward to it.
No, rather, the wish that the conversation did not work was even greater.
‘So that… …
Because I don’t think I’ll be sorry to cut them.
* * *
“Never look at him directly.”
The devil guides you with a soft warning
it started.
The Heavenly Demon didn’t feel any emotion even when she was about to die, but she was quite nervous right now.
‘It’s dizzying.’
Just by getting closer, it seems that his existence will fly away.
Swallowing a gulp, he struggled to follow the devil.
At the end of that step was the throne.
“I brought the Heavenly Demon you said.”
Let the devil bow his head and report,
The throne slowly turned.
The one who appeared from the seat was a calm-faced man with his eyes closed.
‘That’s the grand duke.’
The Heavenly Demon, momentarily forgetting the warning, collapsed onto the stone kite floor.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
After a moment of screaming, he let out a rough breath.
Just looking at the being directly damaged the body and mind.
I thought my soul was being torn to pieces.
“Did I not warn you?”
“Boo, I made it clear.”
“Right.”
The Archduke nodded, then turned his throne again to look at the universe spread out in front of him.
he asked instead.
“human. What do you think when you see the universe?”
The Heavenly Demon slightly raised her head and looked straight ahead.
The universe, densely packed with stars, extends infinitely.
Looking at it, his existence and all the time and place he spent seemed insignificant.
“It is void.”
“is it. It suits you quite well.”
The Grand Duke nodded and opened his mouth.
“The players went up to the 7th floor. I can hear the end of the story slowly approaching.”
“What do you want from me?”
“dare!”
The devil turns his head and aims at the Heavenly Demon
I saw.
To say such a thing in front of the Grand Duke without knowing the subject?
“stop.”
said the Grand Duke, who had pacified the demon.
“human. Do you know the difference between destiny and destiny?”
“… … I know that fate cannot be reversed from birth, and fate can be changed according to one’s own efforts.”
“Then ask!”
As the throne turned, the eyes of the Grand Duke
opened
At the same time, the universe, which had been infinitely stretched out, was also wide open, creating a brighter light than anything else.
An inaudible howl reverberated through the universe.
“Are you the destiny of this world, or the destiny?”
“I-I… …
I do not know. something like that I don’t know what the intent of the question is.
The Heavenly Demon instinctively planted her head on the ground and trembled.
If you look at ‘that’ now, you will die. No, something worse than death will come.
“Sorry, sorry… … I do not know.”
“Then find out for yourself.”
The Grand Duke ordered.
“Seventh floor. You will find the answer there.”
When his eyes were closed, the universe stopped moving like a lie.
When the noise subsided, the Grand Duke turned the throne forward again.
so he ordered
“Kill Seo Jun-ho by all means.”
Questions filled her throat, but the Heavenly Demon couldn’t bear to ask.
Why don’t you do it yourself.
“All right.”
All I could say was that.
* *
Seo Jun-ho, who watched the videos of the victim parties several times, was convinced.
“You know how to hide your presence. It is also very subtle.”
All those who were attacked by the giants lost their lives or were injured because of the surprise attack.
After they were revealed, they weren’t particularly threatening.
In fact, they were killed by angry players.
“And very clever.”
The giants hunted only the weak.
As evidence of that, the Big 5 party including themselves. Or, the party with the gucheon did not encounter the giant.
“So, are you really okay?”
“Gwa, it’s okay.”
Cha Si-eun swallowed her saliva and replied.
She took the decoy on behalf of Ramadat.
“If it wasn’t Ramadat-nim, I think I would definitely attack.”
“But it is dangerous… …
“I did put a magic shield on it.”
“How many layers?”
“12 layers.”
I really did!
Cha Si-eun, slightly relieved by those words, smiles.
“It’s really fine. Besides, the giants will react right away when they appear.”
“… … Then please.”
The party left only Cha Si-eun in the forest, behind a nearby tree or on a branch.
hid in
The state of killing as much as possible by walking at night.
“Uh, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.”
Just like Ramadat did yesterday, Cha Si Eun roared loudly.
If there is a giant nearby, he will rush to attack her.
‘Speed is life.’
Seo Jun-ho was also nervous and swallowed for no reason.
I’m not worried if the bait role is Ramadat, but this time it’s Cha Si-eun.
‘If I do something wrong, I could get seriously hurt.’
5 Hero and Seori, all of them did not take their eyes off Cha Si-eun.
Swoop.
“..wow?”
The moment Cha Si-eun slowly turned her head at the shadow that suddenly appeared over her head.
sigh.
A huge grinning face filled her field of vision.
