Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 65



Only Noblemtl

065

Jinseong looked around hurriedly.

However, the size of the object was as big as Jinseong’s height, and the thickness was as thick as his thigh. The ice crystals just flew randomly, and there was no material he could use.

“No, you have to give them the object! It’s a freezing cold pattern – and they didn’t even go under the ice in the first place….”

The pattern destruction method used to attack the cold dragon Skasa in the game Dungeon & Fighter’s ‘Machine Revolution: Bacal Raid’ obviously cannot be used in the real world of Arad.

“Crook, crook! Crook!”

“Damn, yeah, I have to avoid getting hit first. , !”

If you can’t use the pattern breaking strategy used in the game, you should at least avoid the flying ice crystals.

If you were to be hit by a chunk of ice of that mass and flying at that speed, you would probably be lucky enough to barely avoid instant death.

“Ugh… My feet- My toes….”

Jinseong tried to evade by using all the available mobility skills, but even that wasn’t easy.

Even if you avoid colliding with the ice crystals that way, you still can’t avoid the cold air that engulfs the entirety of Mount Charnak.

I tried using several times in a row, but it was useless. The water attribute resistance increase that doesn’t stack with the effect can’t block this cold air.

“It’s freezing. If it becomes like this……”

“Gulp… ”

[Click click, Lotus… … The guy who pretended to rule the sea and act all high and mighty is going to freeze to death here.]

“This is no time to joke around, Black.”

Jinseong muttered with his lips turned blue and quickly raised both arms to cover his face.

But that didn’t mean I could avoid the cold.

‘I can’t feel my legs anymore. Damn, he’s really a ‘heading destroyer’.’

The destructive power in the game that destroyed countless beginner raid groups was bound to be felt even more intensely by Jinseong when he encountered it directly in real life.

It was closer to a concept of rapid cooling than a statue.

When he thought that he could no longer move his ankles, calves, and knees by his own will, that is, when his body began to freeze, the tips of Jinseong’s fingers that were covering his face were also already hardening.

At the point where the hand, forearm, and shoulder holding the were frozen, the ice on the lower body was already moving up towards the waist, stomach, and heart.

“What the-.”

Without even a single scream, Jinseong’s entire body was completely encased in ice like a sculpture.

Skasa, boasting blue ice scales, flapped its wings and landed near Jinseong.

[bagatelle…….]

Looking at Jinseong who couldn’t move, Skasa snorted as if his anger had subsided a little.

Now, if he were to swing either his claws or his tail, Jinseong would shatter into shards of ice, and his life would end here on Mount Sharnak.

Skasa raised his right foreleg and swung his sharp claws.

[Buried forever in the cold air… … Hmm?]

No, I tried to swing it.

The cold dragon’s movements stopped for a moment.

At the same time, the eyes that were the only ones set like red jewels in the blue body opened wide.

Snap, snap… … .

It was perhaps natural that Skasa would freeze in a position with his forelegs raised.

Even he couldn’t believe it, seeing the ice surrounding Jinseong’s body cracking here and there.

[How- this guy-.]

Skasa, who had grasped the situation, was about to swing his arms.

The moment his sharp claws were about to shatter Jinseong’s body.

───────────… … !!

“!”

The true slashed left and right in a semicircle.

The sound of ice shards flying in all directions, and the friction sound of the black lightsaber clashing with Skasa’s panicked claws.

“.”

As Skasa hesitated, surprised that his attack did not work properly, Jinseong used another skill.

Both skills can be acquired at level 40, and are considered the most powerful single skills currently available to Jinseong!

[A worthless guy!?]

Eventually, Skasa was attacked once again and had to flap her wings and fall back significantly.

Only after seeing that sight could Jinseong barely catch his breath.

“Ugh, it’s cold, it’s so cold! I just came out after thawing and you’re going to attack me right away?”

He looked through his [Inventory] and took out an item while throwing something he was holding in his hand.

The empty bottle that Jinseong threw on the floor and the bottle that Jinseong quickly opened and drank were all the same shape.

[… … How did it thaw itself?]

“Kuaaa… Even though Kanna sells expensive and inefficient items, the performance itself is certain.”

Jinseong quickly downed a bottle and then threw the empty bottle into the snow.

Skasa didn’t understand at all, but Jinseong didn’t answer any further.

[What are you talking about?]

When I thought I had to go and face the cold dragon Skasa.

When Pure and I decided to meet in front of ‘Kanna of the General Store’.

Jinseong bought a lot of in addition to !

You have to be fully prepared for any unforeseen circumstances, and from that perspective, it was only natural that the status recovery potions that Kanna was selling would be helpful.

‘But it was close. Is it because of the level? Skasa’s level was high, so it didn’t melt right away. Considering the time it took to thaw – it’ll be dangerous if it freezes again next time. This time, Skasa won’t panic.’

However, Jinseong also confirmed that the effect was somewhat less than he had expected, so things could not go well like this in the future.

Skasa couldn’t help but take advantage of that gap.

[You insignificant creature! Freeze!]

The movement of pulling the ball back and then forward again, along with the mouth wide open.

The cold blast from his mouth will have a freezing effect again as soon as it touches Jinseong’s own skin.

[Click click… … This time it’s really over. Don’t you have the strength to move, Jinseong?]

Heukgu indirectly told Jinseong to run away, but Jinseong did not move.

It’s too late to run away. The range is too wide to avoid.

‘One, two-.’

All the calculations are done.

“ And right after that-.”

The simple way to use it is ‘Jjalmujeok’.

Gain the effect of temporary invincibility for a very short period of time.

However, it is literally only a ‘very short time’, so you cannot endure the entire time the breath is being emitted.

Of course Jinseong knew.

“-.”

So he was using the third and final skill out of the three he learns at level 40, .

A skill that advances a certain distance at high speed and cuts down everything in its path.

Since what Jinseong unleashed was the breath of an ice dragon that resembled countless shards of ice, there was no benefit to be gained from the attack itself.

[How on earth… … .]

However, it was possible for the cold dragon to stop its breath without knowing it.

A special effect that activates from the moment the skill is cast. If there is a target hit by the attack, it lasts for up to 5 seconds from the start of the skill to the end.

“It’s the most perfect ghost inspection. Of course, there’s too.”

The invincible skill possessed by the job ‘Soulbringer’ in the game Dungeon & Fighter.

The that the Dark Knight utilizes is none other than .

In other words, is not a very short-term temporary invincibility like ‘Invincibility’, but rather one of the invincibility techniques that can be used as a survival tool for up to 5 seconds!

Skasa tried to fly again, but this time Jinseong was faster.

“Are you going to continue?”

[Saying the obvious-.]

“It takes this long to fight me alone. My comrades may come and subdue you after hearing your cries, Skasa.”

Of course, there are no colleagues.

But Jinseong lied more shamelessly than ever.

The reason why this is possible is because Jinseong himself has proven his skills so far.

As he claimed, the person involved could not ignore his eloquence that dug into the position of ‘Skasa, who is difficult to deal with even with a single human’.

[… … Even if a bunch of insignificant people gather together, what can they do?]

“Don’t you know what happened to your brothers at the hands of those lowly humans?! You don’t know that and you’re speaking so carelessly!”

Jinseong also didn’t give him any leeway.

Skasa’s eyes flashed again, but Jinseong’s eyes were not moved at all.

“Bacal’s clone! If you remember your brothers Hisma and Spirazzi!”

Jinseong shouted.

Looking at the scarecrow.

“I will tell you what happened to your master Bakal. What was the last thing he said to you? Come talk to me.”

[Are you asking me to listen to you and discuss something that cannot happen?]

Skasa also shouted. It was almost a struggle.

The pain of having to understand something that has already happened but you don’t want to accept.

Could it be that Cold Dragon had already felt it before even hearing Jinseong’s words?

Jinseong said, locking eyes with Skasa, who was about to explode.

“I’ll tell you if it’s impossible or if it happened. So if you want to hear the story… ”

Then he suggested in a calm voice.

“Cooperate with me, Cold Dragon.”

There was not a single flaw in his dignified posture.

* * *

Jinseong was leaning back in his chair with his legs up on the office desk.

He was yawning instead, maintaining his balance in a posture that wouldn’t have been strange if he had just barely fallen.

He paid no attention to the increasingly louder knocking and running noises in the hallway.

-Mr. Jinseong, can I come in!?

“Yes? Come in-.”

Before Jinseong could even finish telling him to come in, the door to the [Abnormal Phenomenon Emergency Response Committee] office opened violently.

Sharan spoke to Jinseong as soon as she entered the office.

“What happened? Things got noisy, Bantu! Then Mr. Jinseong said, Bantu is this and that, blah blah?”

“Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden? By the way, you run really well in those high heels. I don’t think it’s good for your ankle health.”

“Why are you so concerned about your ankles? No, just tell me quickly.”

In the meantime, Sharan seemed embarrassed and hid her feet with her dress as she brought a chair in front of Jinseong’s desk and sat down.

Even though the leader of the Magician’s Guild was pressing him, Jinseong didn’t show any signs of urgency and just lowered his leg from the desk.

“I don’t have much to say. I just asked because I was curious to know if there were any issues related to the Bantu people…….”

“Lies. You asked me if the Bantu were near the border. You were also interested in the military deployment of the principality. But when I said there were no problems, you ran away and came back a week later?”

“That’s because I have my own things to do.”

“…Who are you trying to fool? It hasn’t even been a week since Mr. Jinseong came back. It’s been about two weeks since the day he ran away. And the Bantu are already moving quickly to the border – to the vicinity of Storm Pass. That’s not related?”

“Guild Leader. As I said, I only have the ability to foresee some of the future, not everything. Even if the Bantu people come… As long as things go well from now on, that’ll be fine, right?”

Jinseong leaned his upper body towards Sharan and asked.

Sharan narrowed her eyes and looked at Jinseong.

“So… what you’re saying is, even though things are complicated like this, they’ll all work out okay?”

Even when asked the guild leader’s question, Jinseong simply shrugged his shoulders.

Sharan didn’t take her eyes off Jinseong.

There was only a brief moment of silence before the Master of the Mages’ Guild let out a small sigh, as if he had finished his usual rational reasoning.

“Whew, okay. I’ll take that as a signal for now. At least, nothing Jinseong has done wrong so far.”

“Hehehe, do you believe me? Even if I say it so roughly?”

Jinseong made a playful expression.

Sharan burst into laughter as she watched Jinseong speak so slyly.

She answered in a light voice.

“I already told you about that. No, I trust you just because you left the equipment there in the first place. But~ I’m just curious, so I came to ask.”

The content itself was not light.

Because Jinseong felt a pang in his heart at her statement that she would trust him no matter what attitude he took.

“Oh my, by the way, Iris-sama also disappeared as soon as news of the Bantu tribe’s migration was heard… I’m the guild leader, but somehow it seems like I’m doing the most work. Oh, and Jinseong-ssi, as I mentioned last time-”

-Guild Master! Guild Master! Where are you?!

“-Huh? Oh? I’m in Mr. Jinseong’s office!”

Sharan was about to say something to Jinseong, but had to be cut off by a sudden call.

Just as the sound of unusually urgent footsteps rang out, one of the members of the Magic Guild, who had run so fast that he almost bumped into the door frame of Jinseong’s office, spoke.

“A, a Magata of a form I’ve never seen before has crash-landed on the West Coast! The person on board claims with his own mouth that he came from heaven!”

Sharan and Jinseong’s eyes sparkled at the same time.
