Returned as a Transcendent Genius Summoner - Chapter 198
Only Noblemtl
Episode 198 – This was her hometown.
Diana was an Earthling.
Born in Greece, the country of the Olympics, she grew up very healthy and lived her life with the dream of becoming an athlete.
But the world always changes suddenly.
[The game] begins with the entire area, including where Diana was training, being blown away.
An era where people with superpowers emerge and monsters never seen or heard of appear.
Diana also became a superpowered person and went by the name of [Hunter].
Superpowers were the saviors of humanity, strategic weapons that could defeat enemies that modern weapons could not.
“That’s right. That’s for sure. It’s a bit confusing when you look at it this way, but the other hunters will start to notice it too.”
“You didn’t know until now? Why?”
“Either they have no experience fighting here, or their level is too low to tell the difference… … There could be many reasons. I’ve been here a few times.”
Starting with a flash of pure white light, an area was blown away, and an unknown altar appeared.
The people who lived in that area disappeared without a trace.
The Japanese tried to reclaim this place somehow, recalling the nightmare of World War II.
However, the monster that had lurked here possessed absolute power.
Many hunters attempted to subdue it, but none of them returned alive.
Rather, only the excellent hunters who had to protect their countries, families, and loved ones were sacrificed.
“The one that used to live here seems to have died, but it looks like another monster has taken its place.”
Diana spoke confidently about the different terrain and weather than before.
A strange longing passed through her eyes, now fully revealed.
How would you feel if the world you lived in was destroyed and you came back there after a long time?
Hwanung stood up, sharing the strange feelings she felt.
As he headed towards Diana, who was looking at the snowy scenery, the message from the tower blocked his way.
As if it were intentional.
[The ritual of sacrifice has begun.]
[If the captured sacrifices are not rescued within 24 hours, their souls will be expelled.]
[Until soul extraction: 24 hours]
[Once the soul is expelled, it cannot return to reality.]
[The soul is stored in ¦¦¦ ¦¦.]
“Your Excellency, there is no time now.”
“is it so.”
Originally, there were two plans.
Surrender to the ever-flowing time and gather summons.
If not, defeat other monsters that are not bosses to quickly complete the summoner’s quest.
However, the top knew very well what was most important to Hwanung.
“The soul is expelled… …?”
“Then, wouldn’t that mean you’re going to die?”
“Those who died last time were like that too… … !”
A nursery rhyme arose.
A feeling of fear began to spread in people’s hearts.
The thought of losing someone so precious to me from my family shook my emotions violently.
Hwanung looked at them and made a decision.
“Mr. Action.”
“Yes, your honor.”
“Tell them to turn to the rear or take cover behind you.”
“Is that okay?”
Hwanung nodded slightly.
He was the one who commanded many, but that was possible because all of those entities were tied together as one.
They were free from emotional turmoil and offered blind loyalty.
Because he had no fear of death, he was willing to carry out any order.
But now, they had to face the great fear of ‘death’.
No matter how great his commanding skills were, Hwanung would not be able to overcome their instinctive fear.
So, I was thinking of taking down the boss with only my summons.
“It’s okay, everyone just leave. If you’re really curious, you can just watch from the back.”
“Understood, Your Majesty. The members of the Order and I will help you. The members of the Order will not hesitate to do anything to avenge our comrades.”
“Okay. I’ll go alone.”
“but…….”
Hwanung looked into Action’s eyes.
Action, who met his abyss-like eyes, involuntarily took a deep breath.
Is it because of instinctive fear, or is it a side effect of receiving new abilities?
For some reason, she couldn’t refuse Hwanung’s words.
“If you really can’t stand it, just shoot me from behind. Got it?”
“Oh, I understand, your honor.”
Action bowed his head with the utmost courtesy.
A feeling of being drawn to something that cannot be resisted.
Action ultimately felt that he had no other choice but to follow Hwanung’s words.
“Diana.”
“hmm?”
“Do you know the way here?”
“Of course. I came here to investigate.”
She smiled and nodded.
The opposite direction of her hair, a Western beauty with distinct features.
Diana said, raising her finger there.
“There, there, the monster we knew was living there.”
She was filled with anger as she looked at the aftermath of destruction.
The monster that was here was a dragon.
It was a guy called [Sa-ryong].
A magic circle was created over the altar.
Magical letters created as if someone invisible had painstakingly carved them one by one.
Edith, at the center of it all, stopped working and checked the gates opening around her.
You’re here.
Monsters that devour the world.
Phagejik-.
A door to another world opened, and red creatures emerged from it one after another.
Although their bodies were modified to withstand even the strongest blizzards, they were unable to stop the power of the one who brought about destruction.
Bam!
Under Edith’s will, Rubinos’ entire body was frozen.
Her magic is engraved and takes away one’s will.
[Don’t come here, run away.]
Is this a will to send to someone?
The sound of the snowstorm drowned out the sound of the voices sent to the unspecified number of people.
Plop-!
Rubinos’ soldiers, under Edith’s control, began to move out of the altar.
Please don’t come here.
Please stop increasing the number of victims… … .
I put my heart into it, but I knew it wouldn’t reach anyone.
So I had to endure even more miserable days.
Only He can control himself.
She wished the eternity would end soon.
From the direction where I had sent my soldiers, I began to hear a loud noise and realized that a battle was taking place there.
[iced coffee-.]
Someone else is about to fall down again.
Was he bewitched or was he being rude?
Whatever the reason, they will now be caught in the cursed blizzard and face death.
Edith returned to the altar with the thought that someone else would be sacrificed.
Kwarrrrrrrr-!
Could the huge flames rising through the snowstorm be a light illuminating the pitch-black darkness?
Or maybe I was just drawn into the darkness for a moment and reflected back onto the light.
‘No… … Now, there may be no miracles… … .’
Edith decided to let go of the string she had been holding on to until the end.
Because I really didn’t have time anymore.
The name of the string she let go of is [Hope].
Or, as they called it, a [miracle].
I could see the altar in the distance.
Nergo, who had been saving his strength just in case, used his power once again.
The dragon’s roar rang out, and the white snowstorm pouring down from the sky momentarily lost its function.
She knew it too.
This blizzard is not a normal weather phenomenon, but is caused by a giant magic circle.
Unless the magic circle itself is destroyed, the life-destroying blizzard will continue.
Still, with the dragon’s power, it was possible to stop it for a moment.
[Whew, the rest of us will have to destroy the magic circle itself. A magic circle that covers the world itself… … It’s truly terrifying.]
“Now that we’ve bought some time, let’s move quickly.”
[huh!]
Nergo shrank back down and climbed onto Hwanung’s shoulder.
All the summons prepared for battle at their respective positions, and now they started walking towards the approaching altar.
As the snowstorm blocking the view clears, what is visible is a giant tower of ice.
I saw a graveyard made of square blocks of ice that never melted.
Some were already reduced to skeletons, and some were not even human.
Diana stopped walking without realizing it as she looked at the ice tower.
“That’s… … .”
“A prison made of ice?”
“Are they all alive? Are they dead?”
The mutterings of the summoned creatures began to be heard here and there.
Uduk-.
Among them, Diana had such outstanding eyesight that she couldn’t help but clench her fist at something she saw.
Some of the people inside that ice prison were ones she remembered as well.
“Master, can I go first?”
[Lucas, Ayas, Cheon Il-rang, and Godric, help Diana.]
Hwanung sensed Diana’s feelings and immediately gave an order.
The summoned creatures that followed his will nodded and moved.
“Thank you so much, Master! I’ll be careful!”
“I will assist you.”
Kwaaaaang-!
SSR-grade summoned creatures running through the snow in an instant.
Hwanung watched their backs and moved with the main force.
As I was walking, I felt someone tug on my sleeve and turned my head.
“Hey, what should I do?”
“Miho? You’re just doing what you always do.”
“I want to help too. Lucas… … .”
Now that I think about it, the atmosphere between them was a bit strange.
Hwanung burst into laughter even in the midst of an urgent situation.
I knew her heart well.
[Mixing Humans into the Suin Legion 33/50]
[Defeat enemies while using Fox Orb on humans 2,391/10,000]
Miho still needs more time.
However, I had no intention of ignoring her wishes.
Even though it was an SR grade, it already had the ability to do its part well.
Epsilon stood next to her like an escort.
Isn’t this Lucas being jealous?
Hwanung gently pushed her back and said.
“Go and help Lucas. Miho, I’m sure there’s something you can do to help.”
“Okay! Thank you, Master!”
Miho had returned to speaking informally again, but Hwanung still felt a small sense of joy.
Epsilon also bowed and followed Miho.
If he’s there, he might be able to block one fatal blow.
Kwaaaaang-!
It seems like those who went first started the fight.
The snow that had stopped for a while began to fall again slowly.
And what he saw was a character that Hwanung knew.
“That… … No way?”
[4 Stars: Witch of the Cold – Edith]
This time, characters from the Pestis Saga were here too.
