Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 142

Episode 142
Shh …
Kiiiiiing… … .
Hwang In-woo’s treatment was continuing.
Yeongsu was leaning against the cave wall, dazed.
‘I’ve done enough with this.’
Now, all that was left was the machine, the god’s share.
‘If the treatment fails even after doing this, then it’s screwed.’
But what if you succeed in completely curing the palatine veins?
He is reborn as a being who can perfectly control the cold air running wild within his body.
‘Ice Man.’
A state reached by those who have overcome the nine-syllable barrier.
The pinnacle of ice magic.
A being that can manipulate cold and ice with just thoughts, without any skills or spells.
‘That bastard, Ice White Horse, did everything he could to become an Ice Man throughout his life.’
But in the end he failed and died by my hand.
and…….
‘I can take such a being under my wing.’
An unexpectedly powerful force has joined our army.
‘As I have done so far, I can never fight the remaining wars alone.’
But, a talent who can rapidly fire wide-area freezing techniques joins our team?
‘The best.’
The next war will be fought against machines anyway.
Machines that push through reckless quantities with their own limitless production capacity.
How about getting some people to fire wide-area magic weapons at those guys?
If that were the case, it would have been possible to resolve the situation much more easily.
of course…….
‘This is assuming that the treatment is completed properly.’
Yeongsu stretched his body and let out a long sigh.
“… Please live, you bastard Hwang In-woo.”
Honestly, I just wanted to save some lives, leaving behind all the nitpicking and gossip.
These were Youngsu’s honest feelings.
Hwang In-woo, ID Nightcrawler.
An original member of Undercover.
Most of Youngsoo’s memories were in games, and Hwang Inwoo was one of the friends he shared those memories with.
So I wanted to save it.
Regardless of whether you become an icebreaker or not.
How much time has passed like that?
Yeongsu spent his time nodding off.
At that moment, a “tiring” sound rang in Yeongsu’s ears.
“The surgery is complete.”
Youngsoo’s eyes lit up.
Youngsoo hurriedly approached the machine.
Push-
The machine door opened and the bed came out.
On top of it, Hwang In-woo was lying with his eyes closed.
Was alive.
Now that we had confirmed that he was alive, it was time to check the condition of the bottle.
Yeongsu scanned Inwoo’s body with his ‘Blood Transmission’ skill.
“…phew.”
Yeongsu cleared his throat.
The treatment was completely successful.
The palsy has been completely cured.
The blood vessels that were on the verge of breaking apart have stabilized, and the cold air that was eating away at my body has calmly gathered near my danjeon.
Now, Inwoo’s body will no longer be broken by the raging cold.
So now what we have to do is… … .
“Hey, wake up.”
Youngsoo patted Inwoo’s cheek.
Inwoo slowly opened his eyes.
“Ssup… Uh… Uh… … ?”
“Are you in your right mind?”
“…Is this the afterlife?”
“Should I send it to you?”
“Huh?!”
Only then did Inwoo come to his senses.
“…I’m cured?!”
“Yeah. How are you feeling?”
Inwoo felt all over his body with his hands.
“…There’s no problem.”
“Are there any uncomfortable parts?”
“Yes. It’s a little chilly, but what should I say, it’s a pleasant coolness… … ?”
“Look at me.”
“yes?”
Yeongsu looked quietly into Inwoo’s eyes.
The color of the pupils had changed.
Inwoo’s original eye color is black.
But now it was a pale blue color.
Should I say that it has the color of ice frozen in clear water?
The meaning of these distinctive eyes was simple.
“… You’ve become an ice man.”
“yes?”
“It means that your body has become able to freely control the cold.”
“…Me?”
“Want to check?”
“to?”
Phew!
Youngsoo threw a punch at Inwoo’s face.
He didn’t give me any time to answer.
A quick and clean hook aimed at the face.
The moment he saw that, only one thought instinctively crossed Inwoo’s mind.
‘It must be stopped.’
If you don’t stop that, you die.
‘…But how?’
My body, which had just undergone surgery, couldn’t move at will.
That moment when the fist was getting closer so quickly.
Break!
A chunk of ice suddenly appeared out of thin air and blocked Youngsoo’s fist.
Inwoo looked at the ice block with an expression that said he couldn’t understand English.
“…uh?”
“What are you surprised about? This is your power.”
Pus …
As Youngsoo pulled back his fist, the ice in the air crumbled and disappeared.
Inwoo muttered with a blank expression.
“…Is it true that I can control the cold freely?”
“huh.”
Tsk tsk tsk-
Inwoo tried to create an ice ball on his hand as a test.
Ice structures were created as expected.
In addition, the release and absorption of cold air was possible at will.
As he confirmed his own abilities, Inwoo’s fingertips began to tremble slightly.
“… I thought it would be a blessing if I just got better, but I also got this kind of strength… … .”
“I think of it as the reward for all your hard work. And… … .”
“… … ?”
“It’s only right that such great power goes to someone like you.”
“To me? Hey, what… … .”
“To save people without hesitation, even though you know you’ll die, that’s something not just anyone can do.”
It was a story about the event in which the cold air was released to stop the Mannyeonhwari.
“I can’t act like you. I can’t live like you.”
“… … .”
“So, you use that power to save as many people as possible. I’ll get blood on my hands.”
Inwoo smiled and said.
“Nothing has changed since I was in the game.”
At that time, Hwang In-woo was a knight and Yeong-su was an assassin.
The class that saves and the class that kills.
“Well, what a person is born with will never go away.”
“haha…….”
Inwoo came down from the bed.
“But this machine can cure any kind of wound or illness, right?”
“Yeah. I need to replenish some supplies and medicines though.”
“Can I take this whole machine?”
“huh?”
“If you take it, you can cure sick people. You can even cure incurable or intractable diseases.”
“Good idea. But I can’t take it.”
“Huh? Why?”
“See for yourself.”
Youngsoo snapped his gloved fingers.
Pfft!
A sphere of light rose into the air, illuminating various places within the cave.
Only then did Inwoo realize why he couldn’t take this machine.
That large refrigerator-like device was only a part of this machine.
This is because auxiliary equipment to operate some of these was embedded in various parts of the wall.
All these devices were connected by complex wires.
Taking this machine away was no different from taking the entire cave away.
“… I can’t help it. If I need to, I’ll have to come here and use it myself.”
“Well, that might work. But I can’t really recommend it.”
“Why that?”
“Because it won’t be long before machines become our enemies.
A question mark passed through Inwoo’s eyes.
“Oh, by any chance… Do you have any Luddite or other ideologies?”
“No, are you really saying that machines will become our enemies?”
“What is that… … .”
“Okay. I’ll tell you when the time comes. Anyway, can you walk?”
“Oh, yes.”
“If you’re having a hard time, use this cane.”
When Youngsoo made a gesture, the stone statue of Cheonhwa that was rolling around on the floor floated up and flew towards him.
It was a skill that was a breakthrough.
Inwoo asked incredulously.
“Do you use telekinesis now?”
“It was one of the killing skills. But it was so inefficient that no one learned it.”
Yeongsu handed the Cheonhwa Seokjang to Inwoo.
“You use it from now on. It’s a weapon specialized for ice attacks, so it’ll be quite useful for you.”
“thank you.”
“Then let’s go out.”
The two escaped from the cave.
Yeongsu pushed a rock to block the entrance to the cave.
This really concludes the work that needs to be done in the Central Plains.
From bloodletting to treating the nine-syllable veins.
Everything ended perfectly.
“Let’s take a break.”
Youngsoo relaxed and sat down on the small rock next to him.
Inwoo also sat on a nearby rock without saying much.
Under the blazing sunlight, the two stared blankly for a moment.
Looking out over the wide open plains of Uiryeong Valley.
Then, it was Yeongsu who spoke first.
“hey.”
“yes.”
“Isn’t it really big here?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Wide, flat, unobstructed, and free of people. There aren’t many places like this.”
“But… why is that?”
“Yes, this is the perfect place to practice ice skating.”
“aha.”
Inwoo stood up and said.
“So you want to have a PVP (duel) match?”
“As expected from our guild member. He speaks quickly.”
Youngsoo said, picking up a stone from the floor.
“When this hits the ground, it’s the beginning.”
Whoosh-
Youngsu threw a stone into the sky.
The tall boulder fell quickly to the ground in a long parabolic arc.
and.
widely!
Landing.
PVP has started.
Quagagagagak!
The first attack was on Inwoo’s side.
Hundreds of ice thorns flying towards the spirit.
Youngsu dug through the dense ice thorns like flowing water.
Perfect evasive maneuver.
“It’s not like you can just hit it with a wide-area weapon!”
“Hey, if you’re going to give me some advice, then keep quiet!!”
Inwoo’s previously gentle tone suddenly became rough.
A healthy body that I’ve enjoyed for a long time, and even PVP that I’ve enjoyed for a long time.
The instincts from my days as a gamer were slowly surfacing to the surface.
Inwoo swung his Cheonhwa Seokjang powerfully at Yeongsu.
Quagmire!!
Dozens of ice thorn pillars rose from under Youngsu’s feet.
Inwoo deployed the thorns without hesitation, as even a single direct hit would be fatal.
Because he knew that sparing his skills against a human named Cheon Yeong-su was no different from saying that he would lose.
The moment the ice thorns rose like that.
Youngsu jumped up and avoided the thorns.
But the ground beneath your feet is already covered in thorns.
There seemed to be no room to set foot anywhere… … .
Tadadadada!
Yeongsu ran towards Inwoo, stepping on the sharp thorn tips.
It was an application of light skill and portrait ratio.
The sight of running lightly along the thorny path as if it were a flower path.
Inwoo was speechless.
“What… … !”
“The attack is tricky, man.”
“Wow… … !”
Shwaaaa-
Inwoo created dozens of huge hailstones in the air.
And then, the fall.
Shushu shu shu!
Hail the size of watermelons poured down from above.
Quagwagwagwa!!
The hail soon fell to the ground like meteors.
Of course, no amount of hail could touch Youngsu.
Rather, a lump of it is caught by Youngsoo.
“Thanks for the throwing weapon.”
“Oh, really… … !”
Yeongsu threw a hailstone at Inwoo.
Throw!
A chunk of ice flying fiercely.
Inwoo erected an ice wall to block the throw.
At the same time-
Kagagak!
It emitted thorns from the surface of the ice wall.
Youngsoo quickly backstepped to avoid the thorns.
And at that very moment.
Push tasting!!
Inwoo radiated cold air.
Extreme cold that freezes everything it touches.
There were thorns in front of Youngsu and thorns under his feet.
And the cold air rushing in from all directions.
Everything was squeezing Youngsoo.
Yeongsu muttered with a grin.
“The form is not dead.”
however…….
“It’s the same for me too.”
Man-geun-chui (萬斤錘).
Instantly increase the weight of your body –
A shock to the leg.
It tramples the ground with its weight.
Youngsoo kicked his feet with all his might.
Two different martial arts crossed at Youngsu’s feet and exploded.
Kwaaaaang!
Chaechaechaechae!!
Hundreds of ice spikes shattered in an instant, and the shockwave scattered the cold.
Inwoo was furious.
“Oh my gosh…!”
All of the freezing techniques that Inwoo had developed were completely destroyed by this.
Now all Inwoo could do was defend himself.
Quagagagagak!
Inwoo erected an ice barrier to block Youngsoo’s attack.
Ice that is as compressed as possible and has the maximum strength possible.
Yeongsu said with a smile.
“You’ve already made something like that? You’re very adaptable.”
then-
“I should also respond sincerely.”
Sling.
Yeongsu pulled out his dagger.
The first sword drawn in this duel.
The tip of the sword traced a simple trajectory.
Crunch.
The ice barrier was cut down and collapsed in an instant.
Yeongsu aimed his dagger at Inwoo’s neck, which was now defenseless.
Inwoo said.
“… That shit is still really dirty.”
“One more round?”
“Be quiet.”
