Return of the Frozen Player 621
Karshut Mine (3)
“What I didn’t even do… …
Roaring!
The Horizon Bag, who burned the report, revealed an uncomfortable planting.
The contents of the report from the southern front were interesting, but the response was heartbreaking.
because I didn’t get into
‘I know I was worried that I might lose my merit, but I know.’
Doesn’t that mean that their success comes first before their own doctors?
Even the fact that there was no additional letter saying that the Karshut Mine was successfully captured made me nervous.
“Hmm.”
But on the other hand, if things went well, I had the thought of forgiving this kind of happening.
‘If the contents of the report are true, the southern side also feels quite a bitch.
easy.’
He had suspected from before that the Gorgon, whom he had been talking about lately, might actually be sick.
In the first place, in order to check it, it is also that I have disturbed the plant by deploying troops on the front line.
‘But it’s true… …
Horizon bounced the abacus for a while.
If he made up his mind and invaded the South, how long would it take?
‘Actually, trembling guys have nothing to do with it.’
The most important thing in the Demon Realm was the boss.
After killing the strongest one, the rest of the forces could naturally be absorbed.
‘If I and the Gorgon stick together… … The odds of winning are about 70%.’
It was a conclusion based on the assumption that his physical condition was not normal.
It’s worth a try.
Horizon, who was crazy about that, got up from his seat.
If you’re going to fight, it’s a quick fight.
It would be better to get rid of it without giving the northern and eastern side a chance to intervene.
smart.
Then someone knocked on the office door.
“Brother, it is me.”
“come in.”
A demon that looked similar to Horizon opened the door and entered.
“Brother, did you have another accident?”
“What bullshit.”
Horizon, frowning, said curtly to his brother.
In response, Vista shrugged and shook the box she was holding.
“No, I think it was an accident because the Gorgon sent something.”
“… … for a moment. What did the Gorgon send you?”
Horizon, whose expression changed, opened the box as soon as he received it.
Inside was a crystal ball.
“I am out.”
“Can we take a look together?”
“If you want to turn it off, turn it off.”
When the grumbling Vista left the room, Horizon poured demonic energy into the crystal ball.
And as soon as he saw the floating screen, he bit his teeth.
“Oh, damn it.”
The recorded crystal spheres were stamped with demons from the south who filled Karshut Mine.
Horizon’s head rolled quickly.
‘Malcolm and Debuer. Were these assholes defeated and exterminated?’
The fact that he was defeated made him feel slightly dirty.
The screen suddenly changed.
The background in the short video was Karshut Mine, as before.
“Malcolm?”
There was a picture of Malcolm messed up from how long he had fought.
He shook his face in shock and murmured.
– No, that’s nonsense. why are you here
-… … The long peace is over.
familiar voice.
Horizon’s brow narrowed.
‘Wait, where did I hear this voice?’
Not many demons know the voice.
However, this voice was not a voice I heard often, but it was very familiar.
That question was resolved faster than expected.
The man who killed Malcolm slowly turned and disappeared.
“… “what.”
Only then did Horizon, who remembered the owner of the voice, push his chair and stand up.
‘Why is that bastard over there?’
Orpheus, Count of the North.
It was definitely him who was caught in the video.
The body shape, face, and voice were definitely his.
‘No, no. This could be a video manipulated by Gorgon.’
This is because the Demon Realm is overflowing with demons who have the ability to imitate someone.
While he was confused, the crystal ball screen changed once more.
The owner in the video said hello.
– Long time no see, Horizon.
“..go e go ”
* -1 1_.
Instinctively realizing that this was not a recorded video, but a real-time connection, Horizon sat down.
“What are you up to?”
– That’s ridiculous. You guys are goofing around
this was done Didn’t you invade my land first?
Horizon, who had nothing to say, changed the subject.
“so? What is the video contained in the crystal ball? What are you going to do with a crude trick?”
– It’s not cheating.
“under! Then, really in vain, that bastard went all the way down to the South and killed them all himself?”
-I don’t know why either, but I’m not telling a lie.
Gorgon spat out the words and
He grabbed his horn.
– I swear by my horn.
Horizon’s expression became serious when he saw that the horns had turned red.
For demons, horns represent strength, honor, and status.
You can’t swear like that by betting it for a joke or something.
“wait for a sec. So that was really Orpheus?”
– I’m not even sure about that.
Maybe someone imitated him and tried to confuse us. but… … .
” but?”
-Four top-level demons, 70 high-level demons, and a total of close to 10,000 soldiers were annihilated. It doesn’t even leave a speck of dust.
It was certainly not common that he could do such a thing on his own.
A count’s strength. So, the level of extinction was at least possible.
“But there is something strange about it.”
Horizon asked.
“Isn’t it possible that Orpheus wasn’t an idiot and didn’t know that he would be considered the criminal if he annihilated them with the power of nothingness?”
-well. If it were Orpheus, he probably wouldn’t have cared about whether or not his true identity was revealed.
I couldn’t deny that statement.
Of all the four counts, the strongest was Orpheus.
Because he always wanted to fight.
In fact, the current equilibrium
It was also because the other three counts were keeping him in check.
“But no matter how much he is, he’s not good enough to deal with the other three at the same time.”
– What if the story with the east has already ended?
“……no way.”
Horizon shook his head in denial.
“No matter how stupid the girl in the east is, there is no way she doesn’t know that if the south and west fall, she will be next.”
-..Maybe Orpheus is the Demon World
He might have promised to hand over the whole thing.
“Are you crazy? Who would do such crazy things?”
-If he caught the clue of ‘transcendence’, it’s possible.
m . n
Horizon’s pupils widened momentarily.
‘Damn, that’s… … Surely there is a possibility?’
Why is Orpheus so bold all of a sudden?
When you think about what you’ve done, the puzzle fits.
If by killing himself and Gorgon, he could definitely step into the realm of transcendence, then he had no reason to dwell on the Demon Realm.
‘No, there’s no way I’m stuck here in the first place.’
It’s not just a quarter of the continent, it could control several galaxies.
Horizon’s teeth clenched tightly.
‘Then these young bastards… … Are you saying you’re trying to kill me?’
To be precise, erase West and South
are trying
After thinking for a while, he looked at the crystal ball and asked.
“Do you have any reason to think that he has a clue to transcendence?”
– Do you know what the purple magic crystal he took at the end of the video is?
“Isn’t it just a magic stone?”
-I call it the ‘Flower of Evil’.
“The flower of evil?”
– The reason Karshut Mine was able to hold a large amount of magic stones was because the flowers of evil converted the surrounding stones into magic stones.
Because. It was officially announced that it had the second largest reserve in the South, but in fact it was the first. Because I was able to mine an infinite number of magic stones.
“… … Nonsense.”
-Even throughout the history of the Pandemonium, there is probably no magic stone better than the flower of evil. The ones who know this are me, Haran, and Frix… … Only a handful of subordinates.
Horizon’s head rolled quickly.
Although he did not tell Gorgon, he knew that Gorgon’s minions were dissatisfied with him and tried to betray him.
knew
‘If that statement is true… … Those traitors could have put a string on the North as well as me.’
Since he could refuse, he might have contacted Orpheus as a safety device.
Or it could be that he contacted Orpheus first and chose himself as a safety device.
“… … In other words, Orpheus needs a large amount of magic right now.”
– In my personal opinion, I think it is because of preparation for transcendence.
If you think about it like that, the front and back are all right.
After organizing his thoughts for a moment, Horizon opened his mouth.
“good. Then, although something unpleasant happened recently, let’s hold hands for the time being.”
– You’re so shameless.
“Isn’t it the same context that you personally contacted me anyway?”
– … … I won’t deny it.
Gorgon was also in a position to hold hands with himself in order to survive.
“But one before that.”
Horizon glared at the crystal sphere with sparkling eyes.
“I will send my brother to Karshut Mine to check the site. If there’s nothing to stab, there’s no reason to refuse, right?”
-… … It’s unpleasant, but if that’s the only way you can trust me. Instead, I will deploy another army.
“Do it your way. It will arrive within a week.”
It’s been a long time since communication was cut off like that.
Horizon and Gorgon each thought
it was locked
* * *
There was a tense atmosphere in Karshut Mine.
It was because the scale of the demons who filled the entire mine was different.
“Vista-sama, are you really okay?”
He burst into laughter at Subha’s concern.
“Why are you scared?”
“… … There are too many troops.”
The army dispatched from the south consisted of 30,000 low- to mid-level demons.
It was an army that included more than 100 high-level demons and 10 top-class demons.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that it accounts for 90% of southern power.
It was a situation where they could spread to an all-out war if they headed west.
“do not worry. We came here for the final procedure of the alliance.”
Vista proudly crossed the wire and walked toward Karshut Mine.
Entering the mine, silently accepting the countless eyes that were shooting at him, he opened his mouth.
“Is this here?”
Karshut Mine.
The place where the large amount of magic stones that his brother and himself coveted were buried.
He went into the mine watching the top-notch demons in the south look at him with disapproval.
“Check it out.”
“yes!”
The magic crystal experts brought from the west wandered around the mine.
As the hours passed, they posted their in-depth reports.
“The magic stone called the flower of evil seems highly likely to be true.”
“Like a mine that has lost all its intellect, the quality of the magic crystals has plummeted.”
“At this level, it is no different from the magic crystal mines that are common in the West.”
“… … I mean.”
Vista nodded and left the mine.
He approached the southern nobles gathered to one side.
“Confirmation is complete.”
“Answer?”
“I wish you well in the future.”
West and South.
The moment when the two forces formed a dramatic alliance.
-Partner, most of the troops are missing. Looks like things worked out better than expected.
“okay. If that’s the case, it’s worth a try.”
Woodeuk, Woodeuk.
Seo Jun-ho, who once again used reverse magic, approached the city with the face of a southern aristocrat.
It is none other than the county.
It was the place where the Gorgon’s castle was located.
