I Became the Snow Woman I Made - I Became the Snow Woman I Made chapter 64

64 – Pure White Paradise (3)

Somewhere in the kingdom.

Figures in black robes were gathered in the basement where only bleak lanterns shimmered.

At least a few hundred of them were nailed down silently like puppets.

On top of the platform in the makeshift hideout.

There were a total of four participants in the executive meeting.

“Is everyone gathered?”

Adain, the seven apostles, opened the door to the conversation.

The three remaining seven apostles responded to the words filled with lamentation and dejection.

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

These were the horses of Matren, Zehak, and Behelak, respectively.

These four were all that remained of the Seven Apostles.

“Hoe Lord passed away.”

A deliberately serious Adain’s chanting.

A few breathed in vain, but the response was lukewarm.

It was a well-known fact, so it was natural.

“If this continues, our congregation will only walk the path of failure.”

“So what should we do? Is there anything we can do?”

Matren grumbled.

Adein, who knew her rough temper well, spoke her true intentions without flinching.

“There is only one way. Death pays back with death.”

“What? No way—”

“We kill God.”

“······!”

Consternation spread throughout the hall at the shocking declaration.

Sinsal. Its weight and oppression strongly pressed against the gloomy stronghold.

Asked Ze Haq, his eyes wide open.

“Kill God?!”

A question that represents everyone’s mind.

There was a psychology of wanting denial, but Adain nodded deeply as if it was very so.

“Yes. Quillier, Lord of Winter. She will kill her.”

“······Killing the Lord?!”

“Oh you shut up.”

Instead of Zehak, Matren stepped forward.

“It’s not like I didn’t think of that. But how? Hoeju-nim also became like that.”

The image of Clavia revived in her mind.

The Awesome Elder Lich. Fear naturally welled up in the enemy who killed that higher creature.

It was the mind that all the members had.

“It just wouldn’t be possible.”

That’s why Adain understood.

“So we do our best.”

“… All-out force?”

“The goddess must be in the Far East. If she governs winter among the four seasons, that’s the only headquarter.”

“You’re going to go to the Devil’s Land?”

Matren made an angry expression.

The Far East’s magical landscape, ice mountains and snowfields. Although little was revealed, it was a very famous rough terrain.

“How to deal with the extreme climate?! I heard that ordinary people freeze their lungs just by breathing there.”

“The problem isn’t just the climate. How can I handle the power and wisdom of a goddess who even defeated Lord Hoi?”

“She’s not the only one! There are more! The goddess is Depsho, who even uses dragons as her subordinates!”

The Seven Apostles were disturbed.

It was a reasonable concern, and it was a problem that Adain was familiar with.

“I would have said. I’m going all out.”

Nevertheless, he continued to make an upright declaration.

“Extreme cold? Mobilize the ‘Death Soldiers’. The survival power of the Dead Soldiers is unmatched, so I’m sure they will survive somehow.”

“The disease of the dead… The dead were wiped out by the intervention of the goddess during the Great War.”

“You can make it again. It’s something more usable than the corpses of crappy believers.”

“Useful material?”

“Here, isn’t everyone there?”

Adain looked around.

Once again, surprise spread.

“······!”

But at the same time, I was convinced.

If you do that, you will have enough power. Those who remained here were all faithful followers, so there was no reason to refuse.

“The production of the dead is only the Lord’s power, but if you use all the legacy you left behind, it will be possible to produce hundreds of them.”

“So…Then what should the dragon do? That monster must be the goddess’s servant!”

“I don’t know.”

“Yes?!”

Zehak’s eyes widened.

Adain continued with a hard face.

“We don’t know what kind of dragon it is or what level the power of the goddess has reached. But we have to do it. If we don’t kill the god, there’s no chance of revival.”

“······That’s it.”

“On the contrary, if we kill only God, we will be able to fly to a higher level while achieving our long-cherished wish.”

That’s why it was all-out.

Without leaving behind, he literally launched an all-out attack using everything in the Saints’ Church.

There are only two futures ahead.

Survive or perish.

“·······.”

The basement sank into thick silence.

Among them, Adaine made up her mind and burned her eyes.

***

A snowfield near the Snow Castle.

I was conducting an experiment in the cool breeze.

“Hmm.”

One of the abilities of the Ring of Origin is ‘Memorize’.

Simply put, it was a technique to store and use magic.

“…You have to practice in advance to use it in real combat.”

I also had to check how much volume it had. Without delay, he stretched out his hand and created magic.

From noble mtl dot com

“First of all, keep it simple.”

Shall we try with a cold breath?

Magic weaved magic right away, but I drew it in instead of exhaling it.

A cold chill shimmered over my hand and was injected into the ring.

“Oh.”

Around the rim of the ring were three circles—I call them ‘slots’ for convenience—one of which was filled.

“This is how it works.”

To put it simply, you can store a total of three spells. After sighing, he stretched out his hand again and injected the magic.

Wow!

The breath that started from the ring cut through the air and created a path of ice.

This is the end of the rough grasp.

“Good.”

I have to pay attention to it normally, but it seemed like it could be used quite usefully.

The moment I put my hand away, I heard a soft voice.

“Quillière!”

I turned around and saw Nell standing there with his eyes covered.

She asked rather urgently.

“Are you finished?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, then help me!”

She shouted vigorously and pointed to one side of her.

In that direction, there were a lot of Yeti and Freikes who had followed me, playing together, and on the other side I could see something like a pile of snow.

“What can I say… A house? I’m trying to make something like that, but it just doesn’t work out, right?”

“Something’s wrong.”

“That’s right. It’s all because of this wind!”

She stirred the air with her sheep that she was annoyed with.

By the way, she was also one of the people who followed me and played.

“The weather here is so…! We can’t do anything because the blizzard keeps blowing! All the snowballs we’ve collected are gone!”

“It deserves it.”

The weather in the snowy field was distracting today as well. Nell’s complexion brightened as I nodded in understanding.

“Yeah. So, can you stop this for a moment?”

“…?”

But she couldn’t help but tilt her head at those words.

If I am not a god, how can I stop natural phenomena? Is this a new joke?

“I’ll see you in a minute.”

Anyway, I wanted to help if I could help.

I quickly arrived at the site where the wind swept away more and inspected it. Could it be that the wind was stronger than expected?

It was hard to know what they were trying to make.

I turned my attention to Nell.

“You’re building a house?”

“Uhh… Well, I’m not trying to make something as great as this castle, just a modest hut? With that feeling.”

She scratched her cheek shyly.

“Size.”

“It’s enough for two people.”

“Hmm.”

I don’t think that’s too difficult.

But I don’t know if it will work because I’ve rarely done anything like this. Still, wanting to give it a try, I raised her hand and radiated her breath.

Hwaaak—!

The snowball mixed with the cold air froze.

“······Um.”

When I sneakily listened to it, the strength was sufficient, and it seemed that it would not be blown away by the wind if it was stacked well.

She put it on her floor and opened her mouth.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to stack them like this. Like an igloo?”

“Igloo?”

“There is such a thing. An ice house.”

“Uh… I’ll try it!”

Nell, who clenched her fists in her dainty manner, began moving her ice bricks.

As I guessed, the bricks were piled up one by one, and before I knew it, she looked absorbed.

It’s fun to make something yourself.

Despite her worries, her life in the snowfield didn’t seem too bad.

“·······.”

Or maybe it’s because I’ve been living alone and I’m calm, but I don’t know the details.

It was the moment when I continued to start construction for a while while creating materials in my spare time.

A familiar roar echoed through the air.

Quaaa!

Looking up at the sky without panic, it was Mishra as expected.

She flew through the sky at once and landed lightly with Polymorph.

I said hello first.

“Hello Mishra.”

“···Cui, Quillier. Nice to meet you. What is all this?”

She flinched for a moment and glanced around her.

It definitely felt strange.

Because many spirits were playing in their own way.

The silhouette of Sasquatch could be seen in the distance.

“I’m building a house.”

I explained it clearly.

“Home?”

“Okay, home! You’re welcome!”

Then Nell, who had been whining, intervened.

She wiped her bare forehead and placed her hand on her waist.

“You’re a dragon, right? I heard that one of your special skills is breath. Shoot it.”

“······What?”

Mishra, who had been glancing at Nell for a long time, was furious.

“What nonsense is that!”

“Didn’t you hear? I’m building a house.”

“What did that mean! I doubted your heart, but it is indeed as the original woman predicted! Why did the original woman do what you did…”

At this time, the complaints that I had collected came pouring out.

On the other hand, Nell just spat out after listening calmly.

“No, Quilière is having a hard time.”

“·······What?”

Mishra stood tall.

“What is that?”

“So that’s what I said… Can you help me that much? Was the breath such a difficult skill… Well, then that’s fine.”

“No. Wait there.”

Nel put on a mischievous smile on purpose.

Anyone can see it as a joke, but the Dragon King, who has zero social skills, did not know such a thing.

Nell looked away from her and spoke to her.

“I don’t like him, so let’s make our own. Can you help me a little more?”

“Yes. No problem.”

It seemed like it would be fun, so I went along with it.

A series of repetitive tasks.

Mishra, who was looking at us alternately, was confused and shouted.

“Hey… Wait!”

“Why?”

“You can do it! I will help the original woman too!”

“Ooh. Then, please take care of me from here to there.”

“Okay! Wait and see. You just have to harden her eyes like a stone!?”

Then, like her Moorim people, she drew in her breath and gathered her spirits.

Soon after, the cheeks swelled as if they had gathered enough strength.

A breath of ice swept through her intestines.

Quada Dada——!

The dragon’s breath surged in a straight line and brought a violent gale.

-Kyahahahahaha!

-Nanda flies! I’m flying!

-It’s hot! Is this hot?!

The flying freekes let out screams of joy.

Soon, the place where the breath passed was full of frozen material.

Nell and I let out a small exclamation.

“Oh.”

“It’s more usable than I thought…?”

“Ha ha, ha ha… Over there.”

Then Mishra asked under her breath.

“Do you need more?”

“No.”

I shook my head.

Parts were enough, and what was needed was labor.

“Breath done, go and help.”

“·······.”

Snow Woman’s characteristic that sticks out as always.

Mishura blinked at her cold words. Then she rushed over to Nell and helped her with her work.

“Okay! Leave it to me!”

“······Yes.”

Strangely, he listens to me very well.

Anyway, on that day, a high-quality igloo was completed.

***

Daeshinjeon has not had a windy day these days.

Soon after Quilière left, the prince of the empire came and went, so that was all he said, but as if something had really caught on, a new gust of wind came soon.

“What are you talking about?!”

“Hey…! Are you serious?”

Sariel and Netach, who opened their eyes wide, asked the man in front of them again.

They were clearly in a state of astonishment.

To this, Paladin Duwade resolutely nodded.

“Yes. As of today, I, Duwade, will formally resign as Paladin.”

“······!”

The remark that was spat out again was as surprising as that.

Paladin’s resignation. It was a big issue to explode out of nowhere without any hint.

“What is the reason?”

Paladins are the strongest warriors in the kingdom.

Since his losses would be insignificant if he resigned, the Archbishops took a negative view.

Duwade answered with a casual attitude.

“There is someone you need to serve.”

“······The person you should serve.”

His answer raised even more suspicion.

The person the paladin served was the archbishop, and broadly speaking, it was the entire religious state.

But to resign.

“You mean there is someone other than this Astar to serve?”

“Yes.”

“It’s ridiculous. You’re a paladin. If you’re a seeker trying to see the end of your faith, what are you talking about—”

“The person I want to serve is the pinnacle.”

Sariel, who was reprimanding me, blinked.

“A vertex?”

“Yes. Beyond the Great Bridge, all over the country. He is the one who exists above the sum of all of them.”

“──!”

At one point, the two ambassadors doubted their ears.

What kind of nonsense I thought was convinced when a woman came to mind on the way.

She is the only one who is higher than the Religious Kingdom in the first place.

But the more I noticed, the more I couldn’t help but be surprised.

“You’re going to serve Quilière?”

“Yes. I have been training since I was young and have grown in faith. Of course, the church is important, but if there is someone to truly serve, there is no need to consider priorities.”

“That’s true, but… Mr. Quilière has left. He doesn’t like us, humans.”

Her extremely cold demeanor was enough to make her think.

Since such a person even preached about human stupidity on the terrace, what level of hatred was that?

.

So she decided that it was for both sides not to make the boil, but Dew Wade had a different idea.

“That’s why I have to go further.”

“But Paladin—”

“Since you’ve been hated, you have to be more sincere and dedicated. Then maybe you’ll change your mind.”

There was no wavering in his firm tone.

Since time immemorial, his mission and conviction have been firm, so it was only natural.

Eventually, Duwade bowed deeply to the two of them.

“······· Ah.”

“Hmm.”

Courtesy towards those who have served us so far.

Sariel and Netach shyly averted their gaze, and eventually accepted it.

I handed each of them a word as they were about to leave.

“…I understand what you mean. We have no way to stop it, and we have no cause to do so. Instead, take good care of him.”

“Please appease our anger toward humanity. I beg you.”

It was a difficult request.

I didn’t expect both of them to come true.

If he resigned his position as a paladin with a will, wouldn’t he have that level of nobility?

“I’ll try.”

The Paladin, no, the ‘Crusader Duwade’, who responded calmly, started a large battle.

A clear blue sky greeted him.

“The dragon definitely went east…”

What comes to mind is Quilière’s drinking session.

It was a historic moment when she swore to lay down her own life for her sake.

Given his identity, it was pretty obvious where he had gone.

“······You can’t enter the temple with worldly status.”

After brushing off this and that, he moved on briskly.
