Episode 199 – The clash between screams is always sad
There is such a story.
It’s a very old story, but a common one.
A story about a protagonist embracing someone with a sad past.
There was a similar story in the Pestis Saga.
Edith, who holds the title [Survivor of the Frozen Kingdom].
The one who destroyed her world and is suffering endlessly.
Cursed witch, master of the snowfield, creator of the blizzard.
The moment Hwanung saw her, he felt as if he had been hit hard on the head.
“Why didn’t I think of that?”
If you think about it, there were more than one or two things that were familiar.
The never-ending blizzard, the ice-covered soldiers of Rubinos… … .
All of this points to Edith’s skills and abilities.
I looked up and watched the battle.
Diana runs towards Edith holding a huge sword.
Her emotions were as turbulent as her gestures, bubbling and boiling like a volcano.
Hwanung looked up and saw the ice tower.
‘A sacrifice? Yes, there was such a gimmick.’
Because she was once a boss too.
Time attack, under pressure from time limits.
A boss battle where the game ends the moment the letters climbing the ice tower and the magic circle drawn in a circle are completed.
Perhaps what Diana saw was something trapped in that tower.
“Dieeeeeeeee-!”
[Go away. It’s dangerous.]
Oh my god!
Giant ice spikes spread out in all directions.
Her ice is said to be harder than diamond.
Diana paid no attention and struck the ice with all her might.
[Strength: 79 Mana: – Stamina: 69 Agility: 65]
[Skills: ‘Dragon Slayer’, ‘Giant Hunter’, ‘Giant Body’, ‘Mystery of Absolute Solidity’, ‘Boss Slayer’]
“This kind of ice-!”
Kwajijijik-!
Cracks began to appear in the ice, which was harder than diamond.
Edith’s eyes shone sternly.
Defensive magic that is activated regardless of will.
As the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense, and Edith’s magic is deadly and has a wide attack range.
Kwajijijik-!
Ice formed out of thin air and fell.
Each one a thick, sharp ice pick, like a main beam supporting a palace.
“Go ahead, Princess Diana.”
“thank you!”
Ayas jumped in and swung his sword.
I swung my sword with all my might, but there was nothing I could do other than twist its orbit.
Honestly, I was embarrassed.
A lump of ice that can’t be cut even with a sword.
‘Should I sharpen it even more?’
[Whew-!]
The spirit of the wind was seen fluttering.
I remembered the words my elders had said to reach the pinnacle of skill.
It is said that if you can freely handle all five attributes and combine them into one, the path to the next realm will be revealed.
The main character must have given the spirit the same meaning.
‘But is that really the right way?’
The fire is hot.
The water is cold and flexible.
The wind is sharp and free, the earth is hard and changeable.
And lightning is sacred and has the power to destroy evil.
Is it really the right path for her to take to understand all these attributes?
The pinnacle of the realm was something everyone just thought would happen.
Long ago, it was said that the legendary warriors of the East had control over all five elements.
“This time, you help me, little white tiger.”
[Whew-!]
The spirit has permeated.
At the same time, I felt a sense of being beyond the world.
It was just a fleeting moment, but definitely-.
[Step back!]
An ice pick suddenly rises with Edith’s scream.
Ayas’ concentration was broken by the ice shooting out in all directions, 360 degrees.
Now is the time to focus more on combat.
It was at that moment that the voice of the Lord, Hwanung, was heard.
“Aim between the ice and the ice!”
“All right!”
[This voice is… …?]
It was at that moment that Edith’s eyes rolled back.
She was cursed.
The cold air that blows incessantly.
The power spread outward, eventually reaching a point where it could engulf the world.
The self-activating magic circle created a constant blizzard over the world.
The setting is that the one who lifted Edith’s curse is [the protagonist of the Pestis Saga].
The method used to release the magic circle of Edith, who appeared as a boss, was to trap the curse within her own body.
It may be a limited life, but it can be covered with innate mana.
Mana that can even swallow up a curse that would destroy the world.
That was the power of the protagonist of the Pestis Saga.
‘A curse that has already been received once… … Wait, what am I saying?’
Hwanung shook his head as a memory came to mind.
Meanwhile, Edith turned her head and looked at Hwanung, or more precisely, Hwanung’s avatar.
[iced coffee…….]
I could hear her sobbing voice.
A voice filled with joy rang out, as if hope had been found.
[D, finally-!]
It’s been a really long time.
Many people have sacrificed themselves for that day to come again.
He himself was transferred here to avoid destruction, so he waited for a long time according to [Ardor]’s orders.
When Edith tried to shout something, her voice felt choked up.
[Euuuu-!?]
“No way. If you try to break the contract like that-”
“Kid, were you here?”
“You came a little earlier than I expected? But what can I do? We’ve already signed a contract with you, and you’re going to be our eternal source of power.”
[Eeeeeeeeeee-!!]
Crunch, crunch!
Edith’s condition was not good.
Her eyes glowed red, and the unrefined ice continued to grow.
A little kid suddenly appeared and was giggling and doing something.
“Stop that.”
“All right.”
Hwanung reflexively gave an order, and Eyasu moved immediately.
Uratcha-!
Galion’s axe struck the ice indiscriminately, drawing lines, but even the Auror Blade could not split Edith’s ice.
[Windstorm]
Eyasu’s attack reached the point where the phenomenon of light being scattered by the change in wind was reached.
Kwaaaaang-!
It was a powerful blow, enough to blow away all eyes and send rocks flying, but it was impossible to stop the brat’s actions.
The reason is the magic he is wearing.
“Wow, I almost died. You’ve grown a lot, haven’t you?”
“If you don’t break through, you’ll just crash into it again.”
“Hey, no! I’m done with what I have to do, so I’m running away!”
Kwarrrrung-!
The gate appears one step ahead of Eyasu’s attack.
The little boy’s scream echoed from beyond the gate.
Ayas’ attack only destroyed part of the altar.
Her attacks caused the giant ice tower to sway precariously.
Diana screamed when she saw that sight.
“No! There are people from our world there!”
“then…….”
“This situation is not good. Do I have to control my strength while fighting such a monster?”
“No, you can’t. But she comes first.”
Diana gritted her teeth and burned with hostility at Edith, who was on the verge of going wild.
If that thing went berserk and blew up the ice tower, then even the little bit of hope that we had would be lost.
I don’t know what the kid did, but I could tell that Edith was not in good shape.
[Kkaaaaaaaaaaaa-!]
A pillar of ice that forms and breaks apart.
Hwanung thought calmly while gritting his teeth.
Edith.
It’s true that her ice is definitely solid, but it’s not like there’s no strategy at all.
“Prama, you’re going to have to get reversed today.”
[also!?]
“Yeah. If you twist it, you can become a higher-level spirit.”
[Master! It’s wicked! It’s unfair! It’s a contract!]
I feel a little sorry, but what can I do?
Edith’s ice and blizzard are the only ways to control them.
[Nergo, Gina, and the wizards only use fire attribute magic. And that too in the surrounding area!]
The archmage-level summoned creatures moved as ordered.
They have also made it possible for them to have influence, at least in cities, if not the world.
If there was heat to block the blizzard and a bright sun, the impact of the ice could be reduced somewhat.
[Ice]
Whoosh whoosh-!
Even in the bitter cold, the spirit’s flame burned brightly without losing its light.
At the same time, Prama’s scream was heard.
[Kyaaaaah! I’m dying! Me! You bad! Master!]
The size of the flame continued to increase.
Based on the mana management method that Gina taught me, I added the magic of the spirits in my head.
Prama thought.
I feel like I’m going to die.
But I gritted my teeth and persevered.
There is a legend handed down among the spirits.
Prama thought.
Perhaps, this is a trial that the Spirit King has given him.
Why on earth did they choose this contractor and put him in this situation?
Although Prama was always complaining and grumbling, he also felt proud inside.
Because when I was in Hwanung’s heart, I felt a sense of satisfaction that I could possess the whole world.
However, I was always dissatisfied that I couldn’t handle all of this mana, which was like the ocean.
If only he could use this mana freely, he would be able to unleash firepower that would rival even that of the Spirit King!
“Wake up. This time it’s really tough.”
[I get it!]
Kwarrrrrrrr-!
The two wizards’ magic came into play and began to push away the blizzard.
At the center of the altar, a sphere was created that shone as brightly as the sun.
Prama never gave up, even in the dire straits of mana rushing in.
Because I didn’t like the fact that I was always whining.
A contractor who always finds answers even in difficult situations.
It was Prama’s true intention to give him strength.
There may also be a way to make a contract with another higher-level spirit.
But then, wouldn’t it be possible to make a contract with a spirit other than [yourself]?
‘I don’t like that! I’m going to end it with this contractor!’
Prama’s will became firm.
At the same time, this message also appeared before Hwanung’s eyes.
[Prama’s will has exceeded its limits.]
[The will makes the way.]
[Prama is qualified.]
‘What is this?’
[SR Grade: The intermediate fire spirit Prama evolves into SSR Grade: The advanced fire spirit Ignis.]
[The barrier to summoning limited abilities has been broken.]
[Skill: Evolution changes by one level.]
[Evolution: From now on, if certain conditions are met, non-named summons can be evolved without synthesis.]
[This varies depending on the individual summoner’s abilities and will.]
[Woooooooooooo-! Get stronger! Get stronger-!]
A rumbling sound echoed in my chest.
Kwarrrrrr-!
The mana that I always had to use in small amounts was draining away.
The snowstorm turned to rain, and the rain began to melt into steam and disappear.
The sun rose over the snowy field.
