The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 96

Episode 96
【 Seongsu 】
We arrived at the Ice Fake X-Zuniworld Castle.
Suho was happy to see us.
“You’re right on time. The damn bird is here. See him over there?”
When I looked up where Suho was pointing, there was a seagull sitting on the spire.
The seagull, unaware of what was happening below, was grooming its feathers with its beak.
Then, bang, I took a shit.
Bird droppings spread across the transparent ice, as if someone had spat on it.
“Get out! You fucking seagull! You’re dead today for defiling my beautiful castle.”
Suho jumped around and threatened, but the seagull just opened its mouth wide and yawned, not caring at all.
“Whether it’s a bow or a gun, shoot quickly. I want to kill him.”
No matter how much he urged us, we stayed still, and Suho shouted at me.
“Why aren’t you shooting? Aren’t you keeping your promise?”
“The cabin isn’t filled with ice yet.”
“What? What do you mean?”
Suho looked back at Yeongmi with sharp eyes.
Yeongmi swallowed hard and spoke in a crawling voice.
“Suho, listen to my story for a moment. There’s that bird. It’s my friend. It’s my conversation partner when I’m drifting alone… .”
“Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and freeze those old guys’ ships or fill them with ice.”
Suho cut off Youngmi and started shouting.
Bomi, who had been glaring at Suho since earlier, got angry and intervened.
“You, you punk! Who the hell are you calling a no-land? The age difference isn’t that big.”
“Hey! Sister Gi-sen, when you get so angry, wrinkles appear around your eyes and you look old.”
“What?! This kid!”
The two of them growled as if they were going to grab each other by the collar.
I approached Youngmi and whispered.
“What, that’s a different story. I guess a friend’s friend isn’t really a friend.”
Yeongmi pleaded with Suho with a tearful expression.
“Suho, please, I beg you. Save Jonathan!”
“Jonathan? Who is that?”
Youngmi pointed to the seagull on the spire.
“You’re crazy because of the cold. You call a pooping bird Jonathan?”
Under Soo-ho’s contemptuous gaze, Young-mi’s already pale face became transparent enough to show the blood vessels in her skin freezing.
But Suho didn’t care and instead shouted even louder.
“You! You didn’t freeze that shit bird on purpose to fuck me. Freeze it now! Now!”
Yeongmi kept raising and lowering her hands, not knowing what to do.
Whether it was from extreme stress or not, her lips had turned white and ice had formed on her ears like icicles.
I felt like Youngmi’s whole body would soon turn to ice.
Perhaps because she thought it wouldn’t work, Bomi stepped forward.
“Stop it. The kid will freeze.”
“It doesn’t matter. Anyone who doesn’t listen to their friend’s request can freeze. They’re not your friend.”
“You said you were my friend, but you listened to this kid’s request to leave the bird alone?”
Suho seemed speechless at Bomi’s question, but like other perpetrators, he persisted.
“I asked you to catch that shit bird first, so you should do it first. Then I will do it for you.”
“Does that make sense? If you kill that bird, how are you going to grant its request to live? Are you going to resurrect it like Jesus did?”
“Fine. I don’t need any of that. I’m going to kill that piece of shit. Youngmi! You’re not my friend anymore!”
Suho declared a break-up with Yeongmi and rushed at Jinman to snatch his gun.
The action of striking first was quite skillful and quick.
It was the kind of movement and boldness that made one look like a bully in the neighborhood.
But isn’t Jinman a gangster who uses his fists quite a bit?
After instinctively dodging the first blow and then kicking it with his leg, Suho fell to the ice floor.
“You, you punk! You’re caught. How dare you call me a jerk? I’ll teach you what manners are with these fists.”
Jin-man rolled up his sleeves and tried to approach Su-ho, but he suddenly grabbed his foot as if he had been bitten by a rat and fell down.
“Ah! My foot!”
I could see ice frozen on Jinman’s shoes.
When I turned my head, Yeong-mi was pointing at Jin-man with her hand up and wiggling her finger.
I quickly blocked Jinman’s path with a golden shield.
Since the power of England and America had properties similar to light, it was impossible to know whether it would be possible to bypass it if the path was blocked.
But that doesn’t mean I can just sit back and watch as Jinman loses his leg to the ice like Captain Ahab did.
If my hypothesis is correct, the golden shield will cool down first, which will buy us some time.
Among the adults who had turned over fish scales, there were many who had no limbs.
Perhaps they too were treated the same way by the British and Americans.
In a way, Youngmi was returning to others what she had suffered herself, without any worries or reflection, at the direction of Suho and her friends.
They are both victims and perpetrators.
“Quickly, take Jinman and escape!”
I pulled out my gun and shouted at Bomi.
If my hypothesis was wrong or I couldn’t buy time with the shield, I was going to shoot Anglo-American right away.
There was no time to persuade Youngmi to stop, and her mental state did not seem very good either.
Youngmi’s eyes were clouded over as if they had been sprinkled with snow, and she muttered like a madman.
“No! My friend. I have to save my friend! Who is my friend? Who is my friend?”
I aimed at England and America so I could pull the trigger at any time.
Oh! But it’s not that cold.
Is my hypothesis wrong?
But Jinman looks okay.
Jinman took off his shoes and rubbed his feet. Although his skin was slightly red, he showed no signs of frostbite.
But if my hypothesis is correct, the golden shield should be cold.
Rather, the shield seemed to warm up a little, as if resisting the cold.
How did this happen?
At that moment, Suho got up and yelled at Yeongmi.
“Enough! I don’t need the help of an ice monster like you. I’ll kill that shit bird myself!”
Then he ran to the spire.
“No! Suho, please!”
Youngmi didn’t care about us anymore and shouted at Suho.
But Suho ran up the stairs without answering.
Then he escaped through the glass-like ice window and climbed up to the roof of the spire.
Because the roof was so slanted and slippery, I almost fell several times, but I held on by sticking my ice sword into the roof each time.
“Don’t do that! Don’t bother Jonathan! Jonathan, run away!”
Youngmi screamed again, but Suho didn’t stop.
Little by little, I approached the top of the spire where the bird was.
The bird seemed ready to fly away at the approaching threat, but surprisingly, the bird on the spire only looked at the guardian with its red eyes and did not move.
I wondered if perhaps his wing was injured.
But it must have flown all the way to the spire.
Suho finally got right in front of the bird and stretched out his hand.
“no!”
Youngmi screamed.
At that moment, a snowstorm began to blow in all directions, centering on England and the United States.
The force of the snowstorm that seemed like it would cover the world looked ominous.
He hurriedly blocked Jinman and Bomi with a golden shield.
“Never move behind me!”
Even though I hadn’t screamed, Bomi and Jinman instinctively clung to my back.
Our bodies were covered, as if three people were riding on a kickboard.
In the blink of an eye, a blizzard covered the world.
It seemed like everything was frozen white.
“Ahh! Aah! Save me!”
I could hear people screaming, but I couldn’t tell if they were real screams or just the wind.
I felt like my feet were being pushed back by the strong blizzard.
I held on with all my might.
If I took even the slightest step back, the shield would collapse and not only me, but also Bomi and Jinman behind me would freeze.
The blizzard grew more intense as if telling us to hold out if we could.
From my shoulders to my waist to my ankles, the muscles and bones of my entire body creaked and screamed that they could no longer be taken any further.
The moment my feet slipped against my will and I took a half step back, I thought I was going to collapse, but Bomi, who was behind me, pushed my back with her shoulder.
“Cheer up, mister!”
“Brother! Fighting!”
Jinman’s strength was transmitted from Bomi’s shoulders.
Not only that, my heart was filled with emotion and I felt full, as if I had just eaten a bowl of hot soup.
My strength surged and surged.
As I applied strength to my shield, I recovered the half step I had been pushed back by and took a half step forward.
Then the pressure on the shield decreased.
I popped my head out over my shield to see if the blizzard was abating.
What the heck is that!
The snowstorm appeared to be gathering in one place like a whirlwind.
The shape created by the gathering of ice, snow, and wind looked like a dragon.
No, perhaps it’s because it looks like a mirage created by a snowstorm, with its short snout and blunt horns and legs, but it seems a bit lacking in being a dragon like the Governor’s snake.
Still, he seemed closer to a dragon than a governor.
The guy made a loud noise like a dragon’s roar, as if he was claiming to be a dragon.
“Kaaaak! Kaaaak!”
Then he raised his head and fired a powerful ice blaster at us.
The tremendous pressure and cold not only caused me to lose the half step I had taken, but also pushed me back another half step.
“Yay!”
Bomi and Jinman cheered and gave more strength.
I also shouted and gained strength.
“Yay!”
“Kaaaak! Kaaaak!”
The Ice Dragon also roared and increased the pressure of its blaster.
But the shield did not move, as if the power was balanced.
