Return of the Frozen Player 535
Sword Demon (5)
The first meeting was in kindergarten.
“Hi, are you drawing?”
The boy who was lying on the floor painting quietly by himself nodded once.
The other children were afraid of his sullen face, but she was different.
“What are you drawing?”
“… … tiger.”
“See you.”
Son Chae-won, who looked at the painting, honestly evaluated it.
“You can’t draw very well. And this is a lion. You have a mane on your head.”
“no. It’s a tiger wrapped in a scarf.”
“Then why don’t you have stripes on your body?”
A visibly embarrassed boy looked up
I groaned and dodged.
“… … I was going to draw it from now on.”
It wasn’t a particularly great first meeting, but that was enough.
Because she had moved in and needed a friend, and he seemed to need a friend too.
“Would you like to be friends with me?”
“My mom told me to decline offers from strangers.”
“Then let’s be friends from tomorrow. It’s the second time, so it’s okay?”
Are you okay?
After pondering for a long time, the boy eventually went home alone that day.
And the next day, to my surprise, he came looking for me in the first place.
“I asked my mother.”
” what?”
“… … They say you can be friends with someone you met in kindergarten from day one.”
“Oh, so are we friends now?”
Towards her smiling smile, the boy shook his head and nodded.
“By the way, what is your name?”
“… … Kim Woo-joong.”
From that day on, the two of them were together wherever they went.
“Woo-jung-ah, woo-jung-ah. What do you like? Is it a scarf tiger?”
Shaking my head.
Kim Woo-jung, who rarely shook his head, took out a sketchbook from his bag.
“this.”
“What is that?”
It is different from the sketchbook I have always used, a sketchbook I have never seen before.
Kim Woo-joong brushed his teeth with a shy face
pushed
“… … A sketchbook dedicated to the 5 heroes.”
“iced coffee.”
She knew who they were.
Because the 5 heroes were the 5 most respected players in the world.
‘Is it because you’re a person? He drew worse than usual.’
Well, there’s no way a kid who can’t draw a tiger properly can’t draw a person well.
She smiled and turned the pages.
The sketchbook was filled with images of the five heroes.
These are paintings full of sincerity and passion even when viewed with young eyes.
“Woojung, you like players.”
“huh. Because it’s cool.”
Kim Woo-joong confessed his secret with a shy face and sparkling eyes that he showed for the first time.
“I like players best.”
Those cute memories still come to mind sometimes, even 20 years later.
Is that why?
“The players… … kill all
The image of Kim Woo-joong expressing his hatred with his red eyes shining came like a lie.
“… … isn’t it? Is something, something wrong?”
Son Chae-won, who was white, stumbled and approached Kim Woo-jung.
It would be just a face resemblance. Surely it will.
“It could be dangerous to approach.”
“Let go.”
She shook off Paik Kun-wu’s hand and slowly approached the kneeling Ma-in.
One step, another step.
As the distance between the two narrowed, it became difficult to breathe.
The misty sight of waterdrops covered the front of my eyes.
“Ahhh… …
how can i not know We’ve been together for decades
Now we are the most precious people in the world to each other.
“Ouch. keheueup
Son Chae-won, who confirmed that the kneeling person was her own, cried silently.
The rest of the people couldn’t even offer consolation.
The size of the sadness she feels right now is so great that they can’t arbitrarily judge it.
“It’s Junho. As a guardian of darkness… … How can you not?”
Skaya approached quietly and asked cautiously.
“… … It’s impossible.”
If Kim Woo-joong was a normal person, not a player, there would have been a way to get it back somehow.
In fact, he had healed orphans in paradise who drank diluted demon blood.
‘but.’
Kim Woo-joong is a player.
As far as he knew, there hadn’t been a single case of returning a person who became a demon to their original form in the past few decades.
“Hey, bad! A bad, nasty Heavenly Demon!”
Frost, clenched into fists, trembled in anger.
Skye asked again.
“Now… … What do we do?”
Even she, with her brilliant brain, couldn’t hide her confused eyes.
The one who was called the swordsman and respected by everyone became a demon overnight.
Even he has already taken the lives of other players.
Seo Jun-ho bit his lip.
The mind that I must kill because I am a demon,
The idea that we had to find a way to reverse it, each argued.
After a long thought, Seo Jun-ho gave the order.
“Let’s take him back first. Treatment is… … We decide after that.”
grace.
Right now, he couldn’t figure out what to do.
Take the survivors to the ice castle
Aon applauded them.
“yes. No matter how strong Mine is, she’s not good enough for Seoni-nim.”
“Sword Demon, 13 players died at the hands of that bastard. I hope you will suffer even in hell.”
When the fear of the demons that made the players tremble with fear disappeared, the search party resumed its activities.
“Dark Seoni-nim, did you get hurt somewhere? Your complexion is too bad.”
“… … no. I’m just a little tired.”
Seo shook his head at Cha Si-eun’s worry.
Junho headed to his gymnasium.
He looked around and went inside, sighing again.
iron, iron, iron.
“player.… ”
Kim Woo-jung, who had his limbs bound with Skaya’s magic, muttered in the corner of the gymnasium.
He has not yet told anyone about his condition.
‘How can I say this?’
Mine was such a being.
No matter how good they were usually
As soon as they have red eyes, they become enemies of mankind.
All players are taught that way, and should behave that way.
“… … I made it.”
he led the way
So it was even more confusing.
‘Even if a miracle happens and the treatment succeeds.’
What about the players he killed while he was a swordsman?
A deep sigh flowed from Seo Jun-ho’s mouth again.
“Dark Sentinel.”
As he snapped his fingers, thick darkness fell low over the entire dance floor.
Seo Jun-ho ordered with a face without confidence.
“… … Eat all the demonic energy in that guy’s body.”
At the same time as the command, the watchman wolves rushed at Kim Woo-jung.
At the same time, a terrible scream erupted from his mouth.
“Gee, aaaaaagh!”
Seo Jun-ho bit his lip.
It was painful too.
“Aaaaaaagh!”
“……stop.”
Seo Jun-ho took the watchmen.
If you eat more demonic energy in that state, you will die before becoming a human.
‘It’s impossible to extract only demons.’
If so, how about going back to the past with only this guy’s body?
Seo Jun-ho pulled out a small dagger.
“… … Sorry for hurting you.”
After apologizing in advance, he cut Kim Woo-jung’s forearm slightly.
And 30 minutes later, I drew the bottom again.
When six hours had passed, Seo Jun-ho finally snapped his fingers.
“Rewind.”
It is a retrogression of time that is limited only to Kim Woo-jung, not the entire world.
Chizuzu.
one two.
The wounds he had carved on his forearms were repaired one by one.
However, when Seo Jun-ho saw that, he despaired even more.
‘too… … Slow.’
He used three rewinds in a row, but only six of his wounds disappeared.
That means you can only rewind an hour on a rewind.
‘The sword demon first appeared five days ago.’
And since the Goulat raid operation was ten days ago, the time for myself was at most ten days. It is 240 hours.
Seo Jun-ho, who had been calculating for a while, became dark in front of his eyes.
‘This is also impossible.’
Her magic and mental strength couldn’t stand it.
Even if I tried my best to turn back the time, it was said that the normal time passed much faster.
It’s a story that even if you try your whole life, you can’t get him back to his human body.
“kill… …
As Seo Jun-ho looked at him with a confused expression, someone entered the gymnasium.
all.
“How, can you see the room?”
A light of tension was evident on Son Chae-won’s face as she carefully asked.
If Seo Jun-ho decides that he cannot be rehabilitated, Kim Woo-joong will die.
“… … no. It is invisible.”
Son Chae-won, who became desperate at those words, spat out the words like a rapid-fire cannon.
“Well, but the aggression is gradually decreasing, right? They don’t even attack us anymore.”
“I was bound by magical powers,
Because if you don’t eat Indian rice, you’re tired.”
“It’s not just a matter of that!”
Son Chae-won let out a pleading scream.
“When you’re around, Wu Zhongyi’s aggression really diminishes!”
It’s just because of the energy of his perm.
Seo Jun-ho turned his head and looked at her.
“Son Chae-won. You still call this guy Woojung.”
“That guy… … It’s raining.”
My fingernails dug into my palms because I clenched my fists so tightly.
But that wasn’t what mattered to her now.
“Give me a little, give me a little more time. somehow… … You should try.”
Took, toduk.
Seo Jun-ho, who was watching the blood dripping from his opponent’s hand, passed her.
“hand. Go to the medical room and get treated.
yo. this.”
When Seo Jun-ho left the gymnasium, Son Chae-won collapsed on the spot.
He seemed to have made up his mind somewhat.
do not resent
Because it was Seo Jun-ho who made the most effort over the past few days to bring Woo-jung back.
“I am not. I, I am still… …
I don’t think I’ll be able to sort it out even after a lifetime.
Son Chae-won sat down on the floor and cried for a long time.
The only answer that came back was a growl similar to that of a beast.
“Skaya.”
Seo Jun-ho quietly called Skaya.
He looked out the window for a long time
asked
“Do you think I am heartless?”
“no.”
Skaya answered immediately without hesitation.
“Do you remember our old promise? What if one of the five becomes a Mine?”
I remember.
“I made that promise.”
If one of them becomes a mine.
“I will kill you without mercy.”
“I’ve never asked Kim Woo-jung, but… … I think I probably got the same answer back.”
Because he is a hero too.
Because he was the one who hated Mine more than anyone else.
“Yeah, I guess.”
Seo Jun-ho nodded and opened his lips that he couldn’t bear to part.
“… … Then tomorrow, I will cut the sword demon.”
* * *
From the moment I opened my eyes, my body felt heavy.
Maybe it’s because I know that I have to let go of someone who used to be my friend today.
“……shit.”
Even the sky outside the window was gloomy.
It’s not just dark clouds floating around, it’s as if a huge shadow has been cast… … .
“Wait, what?”
At the same time Seo Jun-ho narrowed his eyes and muttered.
Aaaaaang! Quarreureung!
Huge transcendent bodies began to fall from the sky.
