Return of the Frozen Player 520
The place where the thunderbolt sleeps (1)
– All surviving players, come to the place where the thunderbolt rests before five days pass.
The message took the world by storm.
A language that most transcendents do not even understand.
But all the players understood it at once.
“Darkness calls us.”
“The destination is… …
“A non-famous mountain.”
From all over the world, players who had been looking up at the clear sky began to move.
There was only a sense of cold silence in the vast battlefield.
It was unbelievably quiet for a space with hundreds of people.
The expressionless emperor had one leg crossed and one chin resting on it.
An attitude that should show more arrogance than dignity.
However, just as a product born from the hands of an artisan is called a luxury product, his arrogance caught everyone’s breath.
“Where the thunderbolt sleeps. Did you find out where it is?”
The head of the servants who fell once did not know how to rise.
Because I haven’t figured it out yet.
“Advisor.”
“Yes, yes, Your Majesty.”
The palace adviser, Bart, responded in a trembling voice.
“What did he say?”
“That, that… …
Holding the document in his hand, Bart trembled like an aspen tree.
As the emperor’s nonchalant gaze pierced him, the trembling multiplied.
widely.
Digor, who had walked in front, grabbed the document and read it in a calm voice.
“Assholes, idiots, idiots, stupider than smart, will the thunderbolt sleep? You eunuchs who can’t even make children… …
All that filled the document was profanity.
Digor shrugged.
“I felt it from the moment I caught him, but he is no ordinary guy. I think I can withstand torture.”
The emperor quietly closed his eyes.
At the same time, the torturer’s body began to be torn to pieces. A scream erupted from his mouth.
“Aagh! your majesty! My, please! please give me one more chance… … Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Even though they tortured for over 15 days, they couldn’t bring any useful information.
Again, he made his ears dirty.
That’s what caused the death of torturer Bart
was
“Shit… …
Prince Digor looked at the floor puddled with blood and licked his lips.
“Gee, I don’t have a lot of heads anymore, so you should kill me appropriately.”
I expected it to be like this.
The wild man who identified himself as Seo Jun-ho destroyed the ‘Radio Tower’.
It was a major event that shocked the imperial people as well as challenging the emperor.
‘It was already two days ago. Besides, I couldn’t control that information.’
This is because everyone in the world heard the sound of the accident vividly.
Because of that, no one knew that the radio tower was destroyed by the monster.
‘He lost his face a lot.’
The emperor’s mood was the reason why he had hit rock bottom for the past few days.
“Codon.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The Archmage bowed her head and replied.
“You don’t know either.”
“… … I’m sorry.”
“How about Ceylonso?”
“The general is still tracking them, but they say they are having difficulties because the opponent has not left any traces.”
They are not even chasing the shadow of a single human who has declared war against the empire.
Was the level of the transcendent bodies only this much?
Feeling deeply disappointed, the emperor ordered.
“Everyone quit.”
The servants rushed out of Daejeon.
The emperor, who was left alone, sat for a while before opening his mouth.
“You bastard, get out of here right now. before you tear it to death.”
“… … That’s amazing.”
The voice came back from Daejeon, where there should be no one.
“Are you Seo Jun-ho?”
“haha. Could it be that?”
The space cleared and a man in a purple suit appeared.
He gracefully bowed and greeted
did.
“Greetings. My name is Isaac Debord.”
The emperor’s heartless eyes were fixed on him.
“Where the thunderbolt sleeps. I know where I am.”
Isaac Debord pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom.
It folded on its own, took the form of a bird, and flew to the emperor.
“What name will you call me here?
I don’t know, but in our world, it’s called Screaming Mountain.”
“Why?”
“The enemy of an enemy is a friend. It would be easier if you just think about it like this for now.”
The emperor looked at him for a moment and said.
“It’s hard to believe a guy who comes to me with a false body.”
“haha. Please forgive me. It’s because I’m not big enough to have a private meeting with His Majesty.”
Isaac Debord’s body blurred.
It’s like a hologram that doesn’t have a good power supply.
“Then I’ll see you again later.”
Left alone, the emperor stared at the map for a long time before calling his servant.
“Tell it to Silonso.”
A few hours later, the imperial troops pursuing Seo Jun-ho began heading north.
This world is both a frontier and not a frontier.
For that reason, there were places with the same name of place names, and there were also different places.
“So I thought it would be tricky to gather only players, but you managed to come up with a method like that.”
Said the Frost Queen side by side.
Where the thunderbolt sleeps.
In other words, the place where the tomb of Thunder Emperor was located was a place that players could not know.
“… … It just came to mind.”
Seo Jun-ho muttered quietly.
An existence that passes by in an instant, but comes back when it is worth forgetting.
because it’s lightning
“But will you be okay?”
“what.”
“If the Empire side finds out about the location, it will be a chance for a one-hit strike.”
Certainly that case cannot be ruled out.
Another player might have become a prisoner of the Empire without his knowledge.
“… … Five days for that. After the time we promised, we have to move right away.”
Those who do not arrive on time are forced to abandon and leave.
Even if it’s your friend.
“Um, that’s right.”
The Frost Queen nodded and looked around.
“I miss this road too.”
“Yes.”
I’ve been on the road several times, so I’m sure my eyes were familiar with it.
However, the impressions of the two were markedly different.
“At that time, I went up here in the arms of a golem made by the contractor’s first daughter.”
“… … I don’t remember that very well.”
“Don’t lie. There’s no way I can’t remember.”
“Ah, I remembered. Was it when you begged Geon-wu hyung to help me save me?”
“… … I don’t remember that very well.”
As we climbed the mountain while exchanging light jokes, a familiar clearing came into view.
It’s a place that makes you look forward to it even though you know it can’t be there.
It seemed that if I closed my eyes, I would hear a savory dialect at any moment.
“Certainly, this is a different world from Frontier.”
There was no Master’s hut.
However, the large rock stuck in the clearing was still there.
“You were always sitting on top of me.”
Seo Jun-ho, who was recalling the memories, smiled.
At the same time, the mana that spread from the tips of his toes occupied the area.
“If you check your face, will you come out now?”
at the same time as saying
The invisibility was released, revealing familiar faces.
“What is it really? What if the host you invited shows up later than the guests?”
“… … Yes, you must have used teleport, so it must be fast.”
Skye Kiriland.
she with a dozen players
I met Seo Jun-ho.
“But, are you really okay?”
Isaac Debord asked.
At this, the Heavenly Demon secretly cast her gaze.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s dark. Didn’t you want to defeat him yourself?”
“Of course I want that. And so it will be.”
“… … Even though I informed the Empire of the location of Mount Scream?”
At those words, the Heavenly Demon laughed lightly.
“The opponent is that dim.”
It may sound a little strange, but the Heavenly Demon believed him.
That’s why it can be driven without mercy.
“He’s not a man to fall for things like that.”
“Of course, most of the transcendental bodies are mediocre, but the upper echelons were on a different level.”
In particular, Isaac de Borr, who was thinking of the emperor, trembled involuntarily.
“He is terrifying.”
“Are you afraid?”
At the Heavenly Demon’s light eyes, Isaac DeVor lowered his head.
“… … Please forget.”
“I am the only one who is good for you to have fear. keep in mind.”
“yes.”
“It’s not even funny.”
There were two more people listening to their conversation.
One is Valencia Citrine.
And the other was an unknown demon.
“When can I go back?”
“soon “
The Heavenly Demon briefly dismissed it.
It was that ‘devil’ that he had personally requested from the Grand Duke and brought him.
“I don’t know why they picked me up, but… … You can only help once.”
“Once is enough.”
“… … It’s short.”
Viscount of the Devil World, Pambert growled.
“Thank you, Grand Duke. It means to be aware of how many times He is saving you.”
“Not mind.”
“Whoa.”
Shaking her head, Pambert gazed at the mountains in the distance.
“So, what are you up to? Why the hell do you need me?”
“… … well. how to explain this
Shall I?”
The corners of the Heavenly Demon’s mouth, which showed little emotion, curled up quietly.
“It’s something to cry in the dark. It would be better to say so.”
The time when the players were in full swing at Screaming Mountain.
Daily meetings were in full swing at the World Players Association.
“We need to send more.”
“How many times have I said that? You can’t push the most valuable and elite forces without knowing the situation.”
In the heated conference room, tension was high.
It was because the discussion had been going on for several days with no end in sight.
“The 7th floor has been renamed from ‘Exile’s Labyrinth’ to ‘Frontier 23’. Something must have happened.”
“Oh, who doesn’t know that? The problem lies in not being able to know the situation upstairs at all.”
“So, send more troops
I have to pay.”
“Bad words. What if I sent the best players and they land in a different place than before?”
“It could be a separate place from the Outcast’s Maze. We have to wait for guidance from the system.”
“How long are you going to wait for that? Which investigative team went first? Aren’t they the best players too? Rather, as it includes 5 heroes and a large number of nine thousand, you should pay more attention!”
The reason for the controversy was simple.
This is because the name of the 7th floor suddenly changed a few days ago.
Previously, what was labeled as ‘The Maze of the Exiled’ became ‘Frontier 23’.
“Until the investigation into why the word frontier came out of nowhere is over. No support.”
“Nonsense. With something strange happening upstairs, the investigation team may need help.”
“If I needed help or if it was judged impossible to investigate, I would have come down immediately! Wasn’t that the first principle of the investigation team?”
“So you’re not talking about the case where you can’t come down!”
The story often went round and round and returned to the starting point.
“… … Then how about doing this?”
Shim Deok-gu, the head of the association, who had been listening to the story quietly, opened his mouth.
Then, many presidents of the association looked at him with awkward expressions.
‘Is that young guy really Mr. Sim?’
‘i envy you… …
‘More than that, that bastard, is he really using hair loss medicine alone? Is the loyalty of a comrade with hair loss so shallow?’
Something more than awkward to say rejuvenation.
Shim Deok-gu, the president of the association who immediately regained his youth, was one of the biggest issues in the world.
“This is what I mean, what are we going to do?”
“We are setting up a second investigation team. However, only in the form of a small number of applicants.”
“hmm… … 2nd investigation team… …
“They say it’s packed only with people who want to go up… …
“If things go wrong, we won’t be held accountable.”
In fact, there was a lot of talk about this when the first investigation team was formed.
There were also a lot of complaints about why they were ignoring the work.
“Write. Still, shouldn’t there be a minimum cut-off?”
“We will have to figure that out from now on.”
“Let’s go public so that the word ‘tyranny by the Players Association’ does not come out.”
If you choose open recruitment, there is less room for gossip.
Opinions came and went in an instant, and guidelines were created.
The man looked straight ahead with a calm face.
Funny enough, rather than the joy of liberation, the sadness lingered like the scent of coffee.
