Return of the Frozen Player 609
my meaning (1)
“yes. They are my friends.”
Gray pondered for a moment at Seo Jun-ho’s confident answer.
“hmm… … There seems to be a big misunderstanding.”
“Are you mistaken?”
“yes. I think we need to rethink the concept of class.”
After waiting for the next word without reply, the explanation began.
“First of all, you should know what the 5th rank is.”
“yes.”
“If you do, do you know what the standard for classifying that class is?”
“standard… …
After thinking about it for a while, Seo Jun-ho shook his head.
“I do not know. Isn’t that just strength?”
“Power. If so, how are you going to explain the existence of the World Tree?”
“uh……
I was speechless.
As far as he knew, the world tree was just a ‘big tree’.
Of course, it has a tremendous ability to intervene in time, but it was hard to imagine that it had the ‘power’ to take the lead and destroy someone.
“Catastrophe is simple. you said
It is an area that can be fully reached even according to the logic of power.”
more water lilies.
more horsepower.
more experience.
more wisdom.
Whether it’s effort or talent, anyone can reach a catastrophic level if they accumulate enough of them.
“Even unheard-of heroes recorded in Earth’s history books can be put into the catastrophic category.”
“oh… …
When I explained it that way, it made sense.
“But the level of liberation is different. From there, enlightenment becomes a necessity, not an option.”
“What kind of enlightenment is that?”
Did something like that happen to you?
“Think carefully. Jun-ho must have had a great realization when he reached liberation level.”
Gray added a hint.
“By the way, we think that Junho-nim ascended to the level of liberation on the 5th floor.
are doing.”
“ah!”
The moment I heard that, I felt like I knew when.
Perhaps he reached the level of liberation when he fully mastered the Black Moon Dance.
‘This is the moment when I made the feelings left by General Chun Kwang into my own.’
Walls don’t exist to block me.
If you change your mind, that wall will always be a strong castle that protects your back.
It was the only moment I had a realization on the 5th floor.
“Coming to think of it, the demon I met on the 5.5th floor after that said that too.”
He said that he was at most an entry-level liberation level.
The timing was tight.
“you’re right. And in order to achieve the annihilation level… …
get on
Gray’s long fingers tapped his left breast.
“You have to have something here.”
“Hold on, what do you mean?”
“It differs from region to region and from person to person, but I call it ‘star’.”
“A star?”
Seo Jun-ho lowered his gaze and looked down at the area around his heart.
It doesn’t seem to have changed much from before. not even shining
“Obviously, but not visually discernible.”
“Ah, yes… …
After erasing his embarrassing expression, Seo Jun-ho asked
was
“Then what does a star mean? I don’t know.”
“To put it simply, you can see it as the ideal that each person has.”
“The ideal each person has… …
After thinking for a moment, Gray smiled.
“In someone’s heart, there can be freedom, rest, or the sun. The important thing is to establish the meaning of one’s existence in this vast universe and the concept of pursuit is the first step towards extinction level.”
“Then what is wrong with me?”
“Nobody knows that. No transcendental person can know.”
Knock knock.
Once again, fingers tap the chest.
“Only. Only you can know.”
It is a star that he embraced while rising to the extinction level.
I wonder what kind of star it is.
Seo Jun-ho, who was caught in a strange mood for a while
asked.
“Then, do you need something when you become a transcendental level?”
“Of course. but… … Even if I explain it in words, you won’t understand.”
“Please do it anyway. I want to hear it.”
“Whatever, if you want.”
Gray shrugged and smiled.
“bang. You have to blow yourself up.”
“… “yes?”
“Literally, you have to blow yourself up.
is. A little star dwelling inside of you. You must explode it to imprint the existence of you throughout the universe. what kind of person you are What are you pursuing?”
He was right.
I don’t even know what you’re talking about
“If I had met him on the street, I would have run away thinking he was a cult.”
“ha ha ha! No wonder you don’t understand now.”
Gray smiled cheerfully and gave me a small piece of advice.
“There is no need to be in too much of a hurry, and there is no need to be impatient. I am still doing well.”
“thank you.”
“Anyway, my friends are only in the beginning of the year. Destruction is still far away.”
“Then are those guys immediately called out to the battlefield?”
“yes. Apparently, we have high expectations for some players, including our friends… … I think it will lead me to grow a little more.”
If those guys can get stronger, they’ll follow me without muttering.
Seo Jun-ho asked.
“How long do you expect?”
“well. Since the flow of time is different for each star, I think it is about one or two years in Earth time.”
“One or two years… …
You can’t wait through that period.
Seo Jun-ho said with a soft smile.
“Please tell me to come back stronger. If it’s too late, I’ll run first.”
“All right. Then, what do you plan to do in the future, Junho-nim?”
The purpose of coming here has already been exceeded.
Originally, I was going to meet the manager and ask how to enter the 8th floor.
But now, after completing the attack on the 8th floor, the 9th floor has been opened.
“How about I go up to the ninth floor by myself?
What do you think?”
“Ummm~ That’s a bit ambiguous.”
Gray wrinkled his nose slightly.
“If it had been someone else, I would have tried to stop it, but… … I don’t know if it’s Junho.”
“Even if you’re on the extinction level?”
“yes. All four counts living on the ninth floor are extinct.”
It was definitely a daunting number if there were four annihilation levels.
The details will only be known after an experiment, but even the Seasonal Knights show the skills they had before they were alive.
Because I don’t think it’s going to come out completely.
“As demons are very sensitive to the concept of their own territory, they do not easily invade each other’s land. In other words, in normal cases, you don’t need to deal with more than two counts. but… …
“By all means, it is dangerous on the day they are even united.”
“you’re right. Perhaps that will be the moment when two of the counts fall at the hands of Junho.”
Seo Jun-ho nodded.
No matter how much we keep each other in check, we will hold hands in the face of a mighty enemy.
because it might be
“I’ll have to think about going up right away.”
“Yes, I also think Junho-nim should have more time. Both physically and mentally.”
“Thanks for the advice.”
It wasn’t empty words, but I was thinking of accepting it to some extent.
It’s also important for players to take a break and recover their condition.
“Then, rest in peace.”
When Gray left the room, Seo Jun-ho
approached the side of the bed.
“Cooooo… …
After evenly covering the neck of Seo-ri, who is sleeping like a child, she heads for the sofa.
Sitting down, he looked at the system log.
‘Are there two newly acquired titles?’
The master of the four seasons and my contractor.
Both were received as rewards for hidden attacks.
‘I think this is the first hidden strategy since the Ascension Assistant.’
This is probably the first time since the title he received after attacking the East Sea Gate.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the titles.
[Master of the Four Seasons]
Grade: S
Description: A title given to those who command the seasonal knights.
Effect: All stats of knights under his command +30%, Consumed horse power is returned when summoning a knight is successful.
“uh?”
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes widened.
The jackpot exploded from the first title.
‘If it’s a knight under his command, it will apply to all of the Frost Knights. this is good too… …
What shines even more is the back.
It was the part that returned the magic power used when summoning a knight was successful.
“Whoa, I’m alive.”
At the same time, a sigh of relief came out.
It was because I was still having trouble figuring out how to manage the seasonal knights.
‘No matter how much magic can be supplied through Dark Moon Deep Gong, 402 people is too many.’
In the first place, the amount of mana that goes into making a Frostnite is not small.
Because I need to craft a skeleton with Frost ability and Dark Sentinel.
I even thought about whether I should summon only some of them.
‘But with this title… …
The story is different.
Like Sir Hart, make a skeleton in advance
If you just do it, you’ll be able to summon an army of knights in an instant.
‘For the time being, I’ll just stick to the gymnasium and make Frost Knight.’
Once their bodies were completed, it seemed that there would be no problem even going up to the 9th floor alone.
You’ll be alone when you come up, but you won’t be alone when you fight.
Seo Jun-ho, who had pictured a pleasant future just by imagining it, turned his attention to the second title.
[My Contractor]
Rating: s
Description: The one who freezes the world, a title given to a person recognized by the Frost Queen as her contractor.
Effect: When Frost Queen shouts ‘My Contractor’, both of them’ stats increase.
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes blurred as if they were covered in dark clouds.
It seems like I’ve never seen a title with such crazy effects.
‘It’s good to increase your ability level. Good… …
Say you’re my contractor. honestly cringe
‘Maybe I was swept away by the atmosphere earlier, but I was just moved.’
But if need be, you can listen to it a hundred times, a thousand times.
“Kik-ing, beng-beep.”
As soon as the confirmation of the title was finished, a sound like a small puppy crying came from the bed.
“What, are you awake already?”
“Hmm… …
The Frost Queen sighed with her mouth open, and her eyes widened.
His eyes, which had been looking at the ceiling for a moment, turned to him.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid.
I am afraid to see if she has changed, and if so, how.
The Frost Queen spoke slowly.
“Be honest.”
“what?”
“I mean, tell the original girl what she did wrong.”
“I didn’t do anything wrong… … ?”
“okay? Didn’t you doubt it because you were nervous like a puppy that’s hungry?”
“What else do I say? How are you feeling?”
“Hope.”
Frost, who jumped up, stretched out her hand.
After staring at it for a moment, she opened her mouth.
“I don’t know. body is fine No, on the contrary, I have more energy than usual.
all.”
“then… … Remember?”
” Remains.”
“ah… …
After all, has the frost he knew disappeared?
The moment Seo Jun-ho tried to bite his lip without realizing it.
“But parts remain.”
The Frost Queen continued with a bitter smile.
“Anyway, the woman who saw it… … It seems she didn’t want to make it difficult for herself.
hey.”
As proof of that, he did not leave a single memory of the days and days he endured while guarding the throne.
It is enough for Seo-ri, who has overcome adversity with Seo Jun-ho, with imperfect memories.
There is no need to hand over the sorrow and pain you have experienced.
“The current original daughter doesn’t need it. That must have been the judgement.”
A hand slowly dropped onto the blanket.
“Always empty, indescribable
It feels like this empty half of the original woman has been filled.”
But that won’t feel too good.
Seo Jun-ho patted her on the head.
Frost, who raised her eyes and stared at my hand, asked.
“uh? what. It is a familiar sensation.”
“Kuhm.”
Apparently, the 8th floor frost didn’t convey all of the conversations and memories he had with him.
Maybe that short time was what he wanted to own entirely.
‘Then I don’t think Seo-ri has any memories of Seong-jun.’
I’m glad if you’re happy, and I’m sorry if you’re sad.
Seo Jun-ho, who patted her head lightly, opened his mouth.
“Oh right, and I’ve got a new title so I need to find out, so please cooperate.”
“Tell me.”
“Tell me once that you are my contractor.
Would you like to try?”
Then, the frost was the same as he was when he read the description of the title.
He looked at himself with cloudy eyes full of dark clouds.
“no.”
