◈ 193. Disaster Weakening (3)

Jincheol looked again at the picture of the Eternal Ice Wall he had drawn.

Although the painting had already been sold to someone else, I asked permission to check the unfinished parts.

“I never expected that Chairman Kim would be painter Geummyeong.”

“I didn’t really intend to hide it, but if the artist becomes known, people may have a prejudice against the painting. If you are disappointed, I will refund you the painting.”

The head of the conglomerate that purchased the painting shook his head at Jincheol’s offer to refund the purchase price.

“It’s stupid to refund a painting like this.”

Jincheol smiled bitterly at the determination to never sell it to anyone else.

The value has risen to the point where calling it a thing is worth the price.

“But this is unfinished?”

“Because I can’t see the road.”

“road?”

Although he couldn’t understand what Jincheol was saying, Jincheol had searched for the Eternal Ice Wall once again in the Lost World before finding it.

It was Jincheol who just hung on to the ice wall and climbed up.

Of course, it wasn’t the right path, so it was bound to face its limitations soon after.

Jincheol, who had been staring at the eternal ice wall for a long time, came to the place where the picture was with the ice wall path in his head.

So I picked up the brush in front of the painting again.

The owner of the painting looked at Jincheol with a slightly anxious look.

He was worried that Jincheol might ruin his treasure.

She also heard from Soojin that Jincheol was the artist Geummyeong, and allowed her to complete the unfinished painting through another painting that Jincheol had given her as a gift.

He also said that he was amazed by this overwhelming painting every time he saw it, but he felt something was missing when Jincheol said it was unfinished.

So Jincheol started to skillfully edit the picture.

The sight of Jincheol sweating profusely and straining his body was a work of art in itself.

The picture was clearly drawn, but it felt like it was being redrawn.

It was a revision that seemed like it would be over in a short while, but it felt like drawing a new picture.

Even the CEO of the company that owned the painting brought a chair and watched the editing work that lasted more than ten hours, not one or two.

I was never a leisure person, but it was well worth the time.

It was definitely great before, but the picture gradually changed to the point where saying it was great was almost insulting.

It was not at all inadequate to occupy a place among the masterpieces left behind by mankind.

So Jincheol drew the eternal ice wall for a long time and finally put down his brush.

Then he let out a deep sigh.

“Hoo!”

“Are you done?”

“I’m sorry. It’s not enough.”

“Huh? Not enough?”

The owner of the painting was very respectful to Jincheol, even though he was much younger than him, as he was looking at a great craftsman.

“last.”

“last?”

The road was not visible.

Although it seemed invisible to others, the path leading to the top of the Eternal Ice Wall was clearly visible to Jincheol’s eyes.

Of course, it was a very large ice wall, and human memory has its limits.

If I were to actually climb the ice wall, I couldn’t be sure whether I would be able to follow the path I had in mind.

Moreover, no matter how hard I tried to recall the last section, I couldn’t draw it.

I didn’t know that it was a realm that was not given to Jincheol, or perhaps even to humans.

Although he was still full of regrets, Jincheol put the brush back into the brush case and got up.

“Whew! I’m hungry.”

“Prepare the meal!”

“Yes, sir!”

The previous painting was good, but this painting is incomparably better.

Jincheol seemed dissatisfied, but the chairman also knew that among artists there were those who had a paranoid obsession with perfection.

Of course, the pursuit of such perfection could not be described as excessive, as it was the creation of such a great luxury item.

Even if I took a picture, I couldn’t tell the road.

“But if it’s a picture like this, can’t you draw a new one?”

“I tried it, but it didn’t work.”

“Hmm! Art seems really difficult.”

Jincheol also tried to draw a new picture in front of the Eternal Ice Wall, but failed.

It seemed like I had to draw on top of the existing picture.

Among the paintings he had already painted, there were some that had been sent overseas.

Jincheol regrets it because there are many cases where the chances of getting it back are low.

It was Jincheol who was unable to perfectly complete the picture of the eternal ice wall.

As volcanoes on the Kamchatka Peninsula erupted, volcanic ash covered the northern hemisphere and slightly lowered temperatures, but the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic continued to melt, albeit at a slightly slower rate.

In the bleak reality that there would be no more recovery, Jincheol decided to re-explore the Eternal Ice Wall to freeze the ice a little more.

I decided to prepare thoroughly and set off.

“Are you sure you can go alone?”

“Don’t worry too much.”

Jincheol’s wife, Choi Yuhan, was quite worried about her husband who said he would go to the lost world alone.

I was worried that something might go wrong.

Moreover, the concerns were even greater because it was a red-tier travel destination, not a green-tier or yellow-tier world.

Jincheol reassured them that there was no need to worry and headed towards the Eternal Ice Wall.

Jincheol had no intention of doing anything too rude.

If I judged that it was going to be dangerous, I planned to just come back.

Before, I had just climbed up without knowing the way, but this time, I started climbing the ice wall following the optimal course.

Of course, knowing the way didn’t make it easy.

It was so dangerous that one moment of hesitation could cost one’s life.

But as we gradually climbed according to the course, we were able to climb higher with much greater ease than when we came with Jae-woo before.

In places where I can barely remember, like Golden Valley, I received help from Cash Up.

But I couldn’t take out CashUp every time.

Moreover, the extreme cold was so severe that it rendered Jincheol’s smartphone inoperable.

At that moment, Jincheol was able to realize that he was heading towards a place that was not the right path.

“Hoo! Is this it?”

Jincheol looked up, realizing that he had no choice but to give up and go back.

As expected, it was a very high altitude.

I was disappointed that I couldn’t see the last section of the road, but I didn’t get close to it, so it wasn’t a regret.

Jincheol, who was wondering whether he should give up and go back or try climbing a little further even though it was not a good path, decided to try climbing a little further.

As Jincheol was going up the path that was not so long, he saw a huge gap between the ice walls.

Crevasse.

Crevasses, which are huge ice valleys that can range from hundreds of meters to several kilometers in height, are so dangerous that once you fall in, it is said that you cannot escape.

Since it was an eternal ice wall of unknown size, no one could know how large the crevasse would be either.

Since there was no reason to explore the crevasse, Jincheol tried to return home from the entrance of the crevasse.

“A warm breeze?”

But then I tilted my head at the strangely warm wind blowing out of the crevasse.

It must have been a cold wind.

But because the surroundings are so cold, it feels like a relatively warm wind.

Jincheol was troubled by this strange phenomenon and stepped into the crevasse.

It wasn’t a very difficult journey, since it was more like walking through cracks in the ice rather than climbing the ice wall.

It was a little slippery, but it wasn’t that difficult as I just had to walk diligently.

“Haa! Haa! It’s cold.”

The extreme cold left me with no feeling in any part of my body.

It must have been frostbite.

The only good thing was that if I went home and rested, my frostbite would miraculously heal.

I arrived at the edge of the crevasse thinking that it might be better to run a full marathon course every week for two or three months.

We walked for at least several dozen kilometers.

And what Jincheol saw was just a wall of ice.

“Damn it! I did something useless.”

I regretted wasting time, but even cashing in couldn’t turn back time.

The point is that I walked quite a bit and gained quite a few points.

“But what was the warm wind?”

Jincheol began to wonder if he had been mistaken.

When a person is in extreme cold, his or her body may feel hot.

Because of this, people are often found dead naked in the cold outside.

Jincheol thought that his senses had become strange because of the cold.

It’s been quite a while since I entered the Eternal Ice Wall.

The moment he was about to turn back, Jincheol felt the warm wind again.

It was definitely not a mistake.

I looked through the cracks in the ice to find where the wind was blowing.

A thin gap could be found between the ice walls.

And through the gap, a single flower petal came in with a warm breeze.

It seemed like there was another space beyond the gap in the ice wall.

“Should I break or melt this?”

I took out my axe and pounded on the ice, but it seemed much harder than steel.

I took out the torch and tried to melt it, but as expected, it didn’t melt.

It felt like there was something there, but I couldn’t see any way to get in.

“In times like this, it definitely is….”

I decided to blow it up with dynamite.

The ice wall could have collapsed from the explosion, but I didn’t have the courage to come back here again, so I decided to just force it.

Fortunately, the ice wall was so strong that the explosion only created a hole and did not completely collapse the ice wall.

“One more time.”

After roughly clearing away the broken ice debris, they blasted another hole in the ice wall with dynamite.

The ice wall was very strong, but it seemed to be helpless against unsophisticated methods.

Of course, the ice wall collapsed due to the continued blasting, but it didn’t seem like it was time to die yet.

Since I wouldn’t die anyway as long as I had enough points even in dangerous situations, I spared no expense in using up my points and skills.

If the game is difficult, you might want to consider whether you are running low on cash.

What might be impossible for some may be possible for others.

“It’s just ice in the end anyway.”

Even though it was hard, it was still ice, and in the face of the power of gunpowder, it was just a piece of ice.

Eventually, after breaking through the ice wall several tens of meters high, we arrived at a grassland.

A warm meadow spread out before our eyes, as if winter had passed and spring had come.

“Green grade?”

It felt like I was in a green grade meadow.

Jincheol felt empty in the meadow that felt so safe that he could almost say it was harmless.

It was a disappointing place for something that had raised expectations.

I looked back.

The gap in the ice cave leading to the eternal ice wall remained intact.

I had expected that all the Lost Worlds would be connected, but I never imagined that it would be possible to go from Red to Green.

“Then it will go from green level to red level.

“Is it possible? For one thing, it might save you money.”

Now, I didn’t feel the lack of points, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to save even a little bit.

Moreover, it might have been quicker to go through here to the ice wall than to start climbing up the ice wall again from the beginning.

I think it would be sufficient to understand it as a kind of checkpoint.

Since the Eternal Ice Wall was connected to the grassland, it was clear that other red-grade worlds were also connected to other regions.

Of course, it wouldn’t be easy to find, so it would be difficult to hope for luck.

“Then shall we go back now?”

Now it was really time to go home.

“Hey.”

Jincheol turned his head in the direction of the unfamiliar voice.

Then, she saw a man looking very tired.
