Return of the Frozen Player 583
two wars(1)
Skaya, who was examining the jet-black wall, slowly raised her head.
It was a wall so high that you couldn’t see it even if you tilted your head all the way.
“How can I unlock it?”
At Son Chae-won’s question, she shook her head slowly.
“It’s impossible.”
When I touch it, I know for sure.
This was the same type of magic as the ‘Black Field’ he had investigated on the 2nd floor, Frontier.
‘That’s the story… …
Her eyes deepened.
There was a strong possibility that the installer of this wall was the first great mage.
“It hurts.”
The first great mage was also the first hump tower owner.
In short, it was the originator of the chaos magic she was learning.
‘I know best what a great wizard he is.’
I know him well because I am a person who follows in his footsteps through various magic books and records.
The problem was that the great being appeared as an enemy.
Skye slowly closed her eyes.
“Eyes in the Sky.”
The moment I closed my eyes, a vast landscape unfolded.
It was the result of seeing the world through the ‘Eye in the Sky’, a magic satellite that he had spread all over the northern sky.
‘… … also.’
North entrance.
A long procession could be seen from the south.
‘It’s the army of the Overmind.’
The purpose is not to simply imprison them, but to obliterate them after they are imprisoned.
all.
Near the center of the procession, there were several vehicles that did not match the battlefield.
‘Perhaps what’s riding in me
That moment when you think about it.
“Oh no!”
An excruciating pain rushed through my head, and my vision was blacked out.
“Oh, hey! Are you okay?”
“Skaya. Are you okay?”
When Ramadat and Mio asked anxiously, she blinked her tingling eyes.
pressed and responded.
“Ahh… … The Sky Eye has been destroyed.”
It wasn’t just the satellite he had linked his sight to.
In real time, it was felt that all the celestial eyes scattered in the sky were being shot down.
“This old man… …
Skaya bit her lip and shook her head.
“Queen!”
“Uh, huh?”
Surprised by the sudden call
pointed a finger at my tiny face.
“Did you call the original woman?”
She nodded with a more serious face than ever before, and continued.
“Queen, let’s work together with me.”
“haha.”
Great Mage, Pilgrim Ganesia
laughed out loud
He looked at his disciples who were in the same car as him.
“Did you feel it?”
“yes?”
“What are you talking about… …
“Tsk. It became.”
Pilgrim, looking at the dumb disciples, clicked his tongue.
Even if they die and wake up, they will not know what was installed in the high sky.
‘He uses interesting magic.’
Share vision on the fly, invisibility, and even extend the range of view.
The magic, which contained a variety of spells at once, was scattered all over the sky.
It was probably a surveillance magic installed by the opposing wizard to detect the approaching army.
‘It’s a talent that can’t be compared to these stupid things.’
The sorcerer was probably the one the deceased Prince Digor had mentioned.
‘A wizard who uses the same magic as me.’
Pilgrim smiled involuntarily.
After a while, feeling the feeling of being expected.
“I want to meet you soon.”
It did not take long for that wish to come true.
“Mr. Pilgrim.”
“What is it?”
The commander in the lead approached the vehicle and saluted.
He looked ahead and opened his mouth.
“There is a castle ahead.”
“hmm? already?”
Pilgrim lowered the window in a startled voice and stuck his head out.
As the commander said, a huge ice castle stood in front of them.
I didn’t understand.
This place was not a particularly favorable spot to settle down.
‘I thought I’d face their castle if I went to the snowfield a little further north.
always.’
However, the sophisticated and solid-looking ice castle was not at a level that could be built quickly.
Pilgrim, who was examining the castle, narrowed his eyes.
“Wait a minute, are my eyes weird? The gate… … Do you think they are open?”
“you’re right. East, West, South, North, all four doors are wide open. As if they were welcoming us.”
The commander nodded with a puzzled face.
“Not only that.”
White flags were hung everywhere on the walls of the castle, and cheerful songs came from inside the castle.
“what? Is it a festival?”
“Now, I’m not sure… …
“Hmm.”
If you don’t know, you’ll have to find out for yourself.
Pilgrim lightly raised the force.
The energy in the form of a bird crossed the snowfield and reached the castle in an instant.
“Mmm.”
But the moment they got close to the wall, the bird disappeared like a lie.
‘It’s not that I don’t intend to show the inside.’
I tried to find out if there were really humans inside, and if so, how many.
However, the other party expressed a position that it was not allowed.
“It is difficult.”
That was a trap for anyone to see.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t get out of here.
After thinking for a while, Pilgrim opened his mouth.
“Send twenty soldiers.”
“All right.”
The commander immediately selected 20 soldiers with a gene for superior mobility.
Even if something goes wrong, you should be able to run away and report it.
30 minutes for the soldiers to carefully enter the fort.
There was no fuss inside
However, the soldiers did not return.
Pilgrim opened his mouth.
“hmm. That was enough.”
“yes?”
“You may not have noticed, but I could feel the unique wave of magic power.”
It felt like an old friend that he had felt for the first time in a thousand years.
“I’m sure there are people inside.”
“That means… …
“Just to the extent of looking at the liver like before
You can’t attack that castle.”
Pilgrim ordered firmly.
“Besiege the castle. Don’t let it hit you all at once.”
No matter what traps they prepared, there was no reason for this side to lose if they approached it in a standard way.
The 10,000 Imperial Army was such an existence.
“The siege is complete. Not even a single rat can break through our siege now.”
Upon receiving the report, Pilgrim nodded.
“Then now, north, south, east and west. Enter the castle through all gates. If you find an enemy, kill it right away.”
“All right.”
At first glance, the tactic seems boring.
However, there was no room for variables to intervene.
That was an extremely important part for the side holding the initiative on the battlefield.
‘hmm. Have I put too high a price on humans?’
Reminds me of the raid on Gulat, but it’s green
I thought it was a bad opponent.
However, what they showed now was disappointing.
“Pi, Pilgrim!”
“What else?”
Pilgrim nervously replied to the commander’s voice, which was about to get a little bored now.
“It is empty inside. Only the body of the soldier sent first is lying there.”
“……what?”
Pilgrim’s face at the embarrassed report
this is dumb
In other words, it meant that the opponent abandoned the castle and fled.
‘Could it be that the flow of magical power I felt earlier was for large-scale teleportation?’
haha.
Pilgrim laughed and buried himself in the backrest.
“stupid… … Does that mean you’ll be dealing with us in that bloody northern blizzard?”
It was pathetic. I was unbearably pathetic.
To live the life right in front of you, you would abandon that fortress and run away.
Humans had to fight with their castle, whether it was porridge or rice.
That way, even one more transcendental body could have been made a companion to the underworld.
‘It may take longer, but… … It’s a good thing for us.’
It was dozens of times easier to pursue than to pierce a determined enemy.
In fact, it is said that the moment the enemy abandoned the castle and fled, the outcome of the war was decided.
Nor was it an exaggeration.
In the end, the space to escape from the north surrounded by black fields is limited.
Pilgrim waved his hand as if he were chasing a fly.
“Then let’s immediately switch to the tracking ranks and pursue the enemy’s main unit.”
“All right. What will Pilgrim do?”
“hmm… …
He pondered for a moment.
The war is already over in your head
there was me
Because there were too many favorable conditions for the allies.
‘Even though the transcendental bodies, which have been driven only by the excellent genes of each race, feel the cold, they have no effect on their activities.’
But humans are different.
‘Their frail bodies slow their heartbeats accordingly when the temperature drops. This soon leads to the slowdown of blood circulation, which eventually leads to the weakening of the body.’
In other words, in that snowy field during a blizzard, humans
If you fight against it, it’s a certain victory for this side.
In hindsight, it also meant that he had no reason to be with the main unit.
However, this is a battlefield where His Majesty the Emperor trusted in himself and entrusted direct command.
“Even for the sake of the odds, it is forbidden to be careless. Do not go with the main unit.”
“It’s a great decision.”
“And destroy the castle thoroughly so that the enemies do not come back. How many people are currently employed in the castle?”
“We put 500 people in each of the east, west, south and north sides.
I did.”
“Then two thousand.”
Even without them, the main unit numbered 8,000.
Pilgrim, who had finished calculating, gave the order.
“I will give you 10 disciples so you can destroy the castle with them, and the main team will chase the enemies.”
“All right.”
The main unit, which quickly switched to a tracking rank, began searching for humans somewhere in the north.
“Move faster!”
Every time the commander brushed off, the speed of the main unit increased.
The marks of the Imperial army’s boots were engraved everywhere in the pure white snowy field.
But why?
Sitting in a comfortable car, Pilgrim kept feeling a strange feeling of uneasiness.
“Break more thoroughly! even if enemies
This is an instruction to make it unusable even if it returns!”
The 2,000 transcendent bodies that were separated from the main force destroyed the castle very thoroughly.
Commander Cheonin, who raised his voice and gave the order, muttered while looking around.
“Write. Strange.”
“It’s strange, what do you mean?”
He opened his mouth to the question of his colleague, Captain Cheonin, who approached him.
“This castle. Compared to the scale, there is not much human warmth.”
“You sound natural. light a fire
It is also a cold area, so how can the warmth remain?”
“..is it?”
However, he couldn’t shake off the sense of pity for his keen eyesight that raised him to the position of captain of the Thousand People.
“Ah, but why are you so embarrassed? Are you finished cleaning up?”
“With the help of Pilgrim-sama’s disciples, we demolished all the buildings inside.”
“Then, now we just need to break down the walls and join the main team.”
It was an easy job.
To the point where I felt fortunate that I was assigned to this side rather than the main unit where we had to fight bloody battles.
“But why did the humans abandon their castle and run away?”
“It must be because he is stupid. You are human.”
“… … is it.”
The moment when Captain Cheonin quietly nodded in agreement.
Wow! cooong!
The gate, which had been wide open, closed with a roar.
At the same time, an unknown energy began to gather in the center of the castle.
It grew in size in an instant and expanded as if it would explode at any moment.
“Wizard! Sir Horn!”
Captain Cheonin immediately sought out the most talented of the ten disciples Pilgrim had left here.
“Hey, how did this happen?”
“What is it? It’s the enemy’s trap.”
Horn replied calmly.
“But don’t worry. Master had this situation in mind, and
Did you leave a reel?”
“iced coffee… … After all, you are the Lord of the Black Tower.”
The Cheonin Captain asked with a face that had endured for ten years.
“So you can defuse that bomb or something?”
“Of course.”
Horne smiled lightly.
Not only that, but the remaining nine disciples of Phil Grim with him also had a relaxed expression.
“That’s the chaos magic Master made.
It’s one of those ‘death in luxury’.”
“A luxurious death?”
“It’s a magic that turns everything within a radius of 10km into dust the moment it explodes. It is said that he gave it that name because it does not even cause pain to the dying.”
“Well, isn’t that a very dangerous situation?”
“haha. Why are we so relaxed?”
They are Pilgrim’s disciples.
Naturally, they too could handle a ‘luxury death’.
That means that he also knows the dissolution method of that magic.
“Now, let’s hurry up and start dismantling it.”
The ten wizards clung to the sphere that seemed to contain chaos without hesitation.
The soldiers let out a sigh of relief after confirming that the sphere was getting smaller with their skilful hands.
“Whoa. human guys. You have prepared a dreadful trap.”
“I thought it was odd. Wouldn’t give up Mercury for no reason
Isn’t it?”
Captain Chun In rather felt uncomfortable and put on a relieved expression.
Originally, traps are the scariest when you don’t know they exist.
As long as the identity was revealed and a solution existed, there was nothing to be afraid of.
“.uh?”
At that time, a wizard who was dismantling the magic let out a surprised sigh.
At the same time, the size of the sphere increased noticeably.
Captain Cheonin asked in an anxious voice.
all.
“Ho, Hoorn-nim. Why all of a sudden… …
“Shut up! You are crazy!”
Cold sweat trickled down Horn’s face as he sighed.
‘What the hell is this?’
The deconstruction of the luxurious death has already been done hundreds of times.
It was such an easy task that all ten people here could do it with their eyes closed.
But what does this mean?
‘The drink… … Different?’
The more they dug deeper, the more they came out, which was different from the ‘splendid death’ they had learned.
much more complex and sophisticated than that.
It was a terrible technique that seemed designed to cause the dismantlers to make mistakes.
‘Nonsense.’
The spells are completely different, but the energy emitted by the magic is the same as ‘Glorious Death’.
It meant only one thing.
‘A completely different technique, magic that has the same effect as Master’s ‘Glorious Death’… …
A level of skill that can be created.
Of course, that meant a level that could not be reached even by the combined efforts of the ten people present here.
Fear washed over the faces of the panicked wizards.
I knew it well because I learned it. I knew better than anyone.
What happens when this magic explodes
le
‘Yes, it must be dismantled. I have to dismantle somehow… …
However, the complicated and esoteric magic that unfolds like an elaborate spider web does not allow this.
In the end, the ‘luxurious death’ that left their hands was called out to a frightening size.
“Ah, ah.”
“Aaaaaaa!”
The moment when the fearful wizards shed tears and shook their heads.
The sphere, which radiated brilliant purple light, presented a ‘luxurious death’ to everyone within a radius of 10 km.
