Return of the Frozen Player 568
pieces (6)
thump, thump.
Arthur felt the seawater hitting his shoes and strained his eyes.
It seemed like that would be the only way to hide the fact that his eyes were shaking.
‘Damn it, I’m so fucking nervous.’
shake. The tension that came once did not go away.
It was because of the fear of not knowing when the opponent’s attack would cut through his body and drop his neck.
‘ furthermore… …
At some point on the rainy beach, there was a shady energy floating around.
Of course, the source of that energy is Isaac Debord.
It was an unpleasant aura that touched people’s instincts.
“Whoa.”
The sand, soaked with water and turned into mud, is muddy at your ankles.
It was heavy and cramped, as if the whole body was restrained.
But his mind was light and sharp.
It was to the point where I felt as if I had become a sword myself.
‘can do.’
Cut it the moment it approaches.
His senses, forged like sharp blades, did not miss even the sound of his opponent’s breathing.
“Oh, indeed. The talent itself seems to be much better than the father.”
Isaac murmured.
He highly praised the young player in front of him who did not easily show any gaps even against himself.
“Excellent.”
It wasn’t empty talk.
Arthur Green had enough qualities to become a new hero who would take charge of mankind in the future.
“It’s really great… … I mean, for my age.”
In other words, it is a flower that has not yet bloomed.
Isaac’s eyes drew an arc.
“Be suspicious of everything when dealing with demons, isn’t it written in the Dim Story of the Great Man?”
“……what?”
“Moreover, even when dealing with a wizard, you have to be suspicious of everything.”
If so, how much doubt do you have to have when dealing with a ‘magician’?
“everything.”
Isaac spoke kindly, like a teacher giving the correct answer.
“When dealing with a demon wizard, you must doubt all phenomena and senses.”
“What the hell are you talking about… …
It was then that Arthur felt a sense of incongruity.
The mud that had been splattering at my feet had already climbed up my calves and up to my thighs.
“Sand that has eaten seawater doesn’t become mud just because it rains and gets a little wet.”
“It is due to structural transformation of sand particles due to surface tension… … Well, it won’t matter anyway.”
Isaac smiled.
“Sorry. If your parents had taken you to the beach when you were young, you would have known this much.”
“shit!”
“There is no point in moving. As long as your magic power does not exceed my magic qi, it will not be released.”
Arthur’s face went white.
To lose before even starting a proper fight.
“Don’t be too upset. I’ll make it so you can live with your mother and father soon.”
“… … shit. I didn’t mean to use it at this timing.”
Arthur bit his lip and glared at Isaac with an expression of resentment.
“But I just want to say this.”
“Is it a will?”
“no.”
Arthur hurriedly raised his mana.
At the same time, he responded by using his ability, ‘Depression’.
“It is written like this in the Great Man of the Darkness. Not just demons or wizards.”
Always be suspicious when dealing with players.
Because they are also always ready.
Isaac suddenly looked at the floor with a startled expression.
The opponent’s telekinesis moves
Because it was a wide sandy beach, not a god.
“this!”
Kwaaang!
A violent explosion with a roar hit him and the beach all at once.
The sand scattered with the spray soared high into the sky.
“Whoop, whoop.”
Arthur let out a heavy breath, feeling his temples throb.
What he exploded with his telekinesis was an anti-personnel claymo buried in the sand.
Thirty dogs.
99% of even the strongest players will die if they are caught in that level of explosion in an unprepared state.
‘but… …
Unfortunately, Isaac Debord is a strong player in the remaining 1%.
As the sand settled, I saw the disfigured Isaac with his head bowed.
He muttered as he brushed the grains of sand off his shoulders and head.
“… … It’s sobering.”
Thanks to the magic barrier, he did not receive fatal damage.
However, a lot of magic energy was consumed to prevent an unexpected explosion.
‘I was too careless.’
He was able to break all electronic devices around him thanks to his demonic trait, ‘Gremlin’s blood’.
Thanks to this, I thought that I was immune to all the electromagnetic and magic traps that mankind has been using lately.
In fact, I’ve never been caught in that kind of trap before.
‘ But…
I can’t imagine going back in time and using Claymore, something that could have been used only in the pre-Gate era.
Isaac brushed back his wet hair and laughed.
“I guess you did some research on me.”
“huh. Even if they never took you to the beach, they definitely taught you how to kill a guy like you.”
” under.”
to swear.
Isaac measured the magic he had lost.
‘Tsu’ S.
The Death Equation is a reverse magic that can revive even dead life.
As it was a ridiculously fraudulent ability, the conditions were very tight.
“… … Unfortunately, plans have changed.”
Originally, the plan was to use Arthur as a hostage to bring Gilberto out, but the situation changed.
‘I can’t afford to invest such a long time.’
It was because he had already consumed more magic energy than he had planned.
After this fight, I had to deal with even the dark, so I had to save my magic more when I thought about that.
“You brought your order forward yourself.”
As soon as Isaac snapped his fingers, a bunch of cards fell into the space where Arthur was standing.
“Keugh!?”
Caang! Kang!
I hurriedly swung my sword at the sudden attack, but the power of each card was beyond my imagination.
‘shit! what weight… … !’
The heaviness contained in the small card frantically gnaws at stamina and strength.
When Arthur just knocked out the third card.
Pop! The sword is broken.
His empty gaze picks up the blade that fell on the sandy beach, and his head suddenly recalls it.
’30 seconds… … Was it originally this long?’
I didn’t know.
The short time of 30 seconds, which normally passes fleetingly, never thought the moment would come when it felt so long.
hooked! The card stuck in my left shoulder passed right through my flesh.
“Aagh!”
As soon as I let out a scream, the card became lodged deep in my right thigh.
Unknowingly, Arthur knelt and raised his head.
What filled his eyes were hundreds of cards flying towards him.
‘ah.… “
I’ll die if that hits me.
The moment the thought passed through his mind.
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
With a sound like a thunderclap.
m. n
Hundreds of cards disappeared like lies.
Arthur and Isaac’s gaze turns at the same time
gone
“Gilberto Green?”
Isaac, who had located him, narrowed his eyes.
‘He’s a stupid writer.’
A few tens of seconds that my son gave me at most.
To think that he was saving his son rather than shooting himself with the special move he had prepared.
‘Doesn’t that mean nothing at all?’
Now all you have to do is kill the two of them amicably.
First of all, from the more threatening guy.
Isaac immediately reached out.
“Lord of Cards!”
cooong!
A huge card fell from the sky and landed in front of Isaac Debord.
thud! thud! Wow! cooong!
In an instant, dozens of cards were placed right in front of Gilberto’s nose.
“You should have shot me. Not my cards.”
The card in front of him slowly moved forward.
From the moment one card fell like that, the cards started to fall like dominoes.
Kwagwagwagwa!
The card, which fell at frightening speed, immediately rushed towards Gilberto, causing a tidal wave.
Gilberto Green moved his aim point without a word.
‘I’m not used to it yet.’
Because I wasn’t used to it, the weapon didn’t pull out like I thought.
He muttered as he put his finger on the trigger.
“… … Next time I will make the output a bit weaker.”
Click.
The moment he pulled the trigger, the ether contained in his body raced along the long track laid by the weapon.
Pajijijijik!
Railgun.
Originally, it was a weapon that used electromagnetic force to fire metal bullets, but the weapon he created was different.
‘I have something much stronger than electromagnetic force or metal bullets in my hands.’
it’s ether
Pajijijijik!
In an instant, the blue-tinged orbit fired condensed ether bullets.
“… … It’s ridiculous.”
Gilberto thought.
This is a weapon that completely ignores all scientific theories in modern society.
Because in a situation where strong wind blows and even rain falls.
Because the etheric bullet flew in a straight line as if drawn with a ruler, ignoring gravity.
” what?”
Isaac was horrified.
Because the card dominoes that fell toward the opponent disappeared.
It was literally annihilation.
‘Did it disappear the moment it touched it?’
The moment the accident reached that point.
He reflexively gathered all his demonic energy and deployed the ‘Equation of Death’ to its maximum.
Perseok!
Isaac, who was hit directly by an ether bullet, was annihilated with the sound of a tomato bursting.
“… … uh.”
Covered in his blood, Arthur blinked.
A beat later, a thought popped into my head.
‘Now, Isaac Deborah… … Is it dead?’
No matter how long it took to prepare, did you finish the nine thousand in one shot?
Arthur turned his head in the direction of his father.
It is destructive enough to make you wonder if a person whining about retirement just a few days ago is right.
“I am.”
The moment Arthur swallowed a laugh and was about to move on.
Creepy.
The spirit of death that had been wandering on the sandy beach passed behind him, sweeping through his body.
“Kuh, keuheugh.”
Isaac de regenerates form in an instant
Borg coughed up blood.
My brain wasn’t regenerating yet, and my thoughts didn’t go smoothly.
‘Die? no, dead? once?’
Even if he was just one beat late, he wouldn’t have been able to revive him.
Isaac Debord staggered to his feet.
“Whoa, whoa… …
I could feel the organs and bones in my body regenerating and returning to their place.
“All, all, all, your father. seoul
You’ve grown stronger compared to when we met on the show.”
However, in the end, the winner was himself.
because I’m alive
The opponent didn’t have the ability to fire three times the fearsome power that had just annihilated him.
It felt visceral.
“I-I need to get some rest.”
The plan to go to Valencia to get citrine is canceled.
Dealing with the dimwits in this state
It was an act of suicide.
She was a useful companion, but she had no intention of saving her even at the cost of her own life.
‘Leaving in a hurry… … That would be great.’
The brain has been completely restored.
With this, most of the demonic energy he was carrying was lost, but he still had enough energy to escape.
Whoaaaaagh!
Isaac covered me with a black cloth.
“Arthur Green. Please tell your father. Today’s bullet must have reached me.”
But next time I will never let it touch.
Whoa!
“shit! wait!”
Arthur hurriedly swung his sword and tore the fabric, but Isaac Debord was not there.
* * *
“I’m sorry, but I have no intention of missing out.”
muttered Gilberto Green.
As expected by Isaac, he didn’t have the energy to fire a third ‘railgun’ at him.
It was because he had exhausted almost all of his ether and mana.
‘but… …
His eyes turned to the forest to the west.
The place where Isaac Debord reappeared using teleport was only 1km away.
“I guess that goes for you too.”
Perhaps it was a natural result.
No matter how great the ability was revived, there is no way that the functions of the body would be normal.
clap.
Gilberto Green pulled the bolt of his sniper rifle.
‘I don’t have any magic left either.
Pulling the trigger can be done without magical power.
Gilberto Green looked through the scope and saw Isaac running away in a flash.
Leaves and branches continued to obscure his appearance.
The distance was getting farther and farther away, and my head felt as hot as if it were on fire because I had poured out all my energy.
Forced to maintain composure.
With the mindset of a sniper, you focus all your nerves on the target.
shoot it
The sound of rain filling my ears and the wind shaking my hair disappeared.
The only thing that fills my head is myself and my target.
‘Distance, wind speed, wind direction, drop, obstacle’
Calculate all those variables.
It was not an area that could be dismissed simply as talent.
It would have been nice if he had such a talent, of course it would have been great, but he wasn’t a genius.
It was the result of repeated, countless repeated efforts and practice.
It was the product of the data etched into the fingertips, memory, and heart.
“Isaac Devor.”
All sounds and colors and things disappear.
In a lonely world where only he and his target remained, Gilberto quietly pulled the trigger.
“..end “
As soon as he put down his gun, he took out a firecracker from his pocket and fired it into the sky.
lied
Whoops!
It was a bright blue firecracker that was clearly visible even in the rain.
