Episode 142

Namgung Yeon walked through the snowstorm.

When did it start? I can’t even remember now. I didn’t have the cognitive ability to remember it.

Just follow the voice and walk endlessly.

[Walk. Do not stop. Keep walking. You must atone for your sins in this way.]

“… … .”

I kept hearing that voice.

A voice full of mockery towards Namgung Yeon. That voice was enjoying this situation.

[Foolish human. Not satisfied with the contract with Gaiad, trying to make a contract with me. And even though I refused, they forced me to… … .]

[This is the punishment I give you.]

punishment.

Arrogance, not knowing the limits of humanity, and thinking of making a contract with two spirit kings.

And the foolishness of trying to force a contract.

Namgung Yeon was paying the price.

[I don’t know when that atonement will end.]

Laughter dispersed through the snowstorm.

No matter what reason Namgung Yeon dies during the atonement, it is none of the Ice Spirit King’s concern.

Although he was a talented spirit master that Gaiad treasured, he was not his contractor.

“… … .”

Namgung Yeon walked blankly across the snowy field.

At first, I tried to reject this voice. I tried to escape by borrowing the power of the spirits I had contracted with, but it was pointless.

This was because an unknown force was interfering with Namgung Yeon’s connection with the spirits he had contracted with.

‘Until when will I… … .’

Maybe it would be better to just die.

That might be the only liberation. Namgung Yeon walked with a vague thought in his mind.

Right then.

[It’s here again.]

Something appeared everywhere.

Namgung Yeon turned his head. What he saw in his eyes was a group of undead surrounding him.

And standing in the center of the crowd was a human, with a familiar spirit riding on his shoulders.

[You’ve come to be a worthless fool, Gaiad. Are you going to accept help from someone who deals with the dead?]

The figure laughed at Gaiad.

No answer came back.

“You have a talent for making words unlucky.”

Instead, it was Baek Sa-jun who answered.

A staff striking the ground. As the arose, the accelerated undead rushed forward.

The figure who saw the sight snorted.

[Sinner, give me your magic power.]

“… … .”

A thick magical power arose from Namgung Yeon’s body.

Magic flowed into the relic through the connection between it and the form. The form used the magic power directly.

Magical power covered all directions like a blizzard.

“Iria, Magnus!”

The two groups stepped forward.

Magnus created a and Iria created a to surround the surrounding area.

Soon, the magical power transformed into a giant ice.

[Break.]

As the giant ice fragmented, sharp ice crystals shot out in all directions.

At the same time, a bitter cold air covered the area, freezing everything it touched.

– Card dunk!

Two curtains to withstand attacks.

The undead that were charging forward could not do so. Baek Sa-jun summoned the frozen undead back and then created new undead to charge forward.

The figure laughed and generated magic.

[Stop those dead guys.]

Spirits appeared between the magic powers.

A spirit that looked like it was made up of large pieces of ice. Its eyes looked around and recognized the undead rushing towards Namgung Yeon.

The spirits’ bodies trembled.

– Passssssss!

– Kwaaaaah!

The spirits each created their own magic.

Blades of ice, pouring ice crystals, and exploding spheres struck the undead.

The undead hit by the magic were frozen, and those nearby also had their movements slowed.

– Srrrrung!

Next to the slowed undead, spirits wearing ice armor appeared.

The ice, sharpened like a blade, aimed at them.

And the moment the blade is about to touch.

– Kwaaaaang!

– … … !

The undead exploded all at once.

Corpse explosion. The explosion, further enhanced by the effect of , shattered the spirits’ bodies.

That wasn’t all of the magic that Baek Sa-jun displayed.

– Crunch!

As the corpses exploded, many bone scythes appeared and cut down the ice spirits.

And then the curse of weakening that follows.

– Use .

It was a spectacle created by the options of Ragnar’s perfect soul complex and multiple spells.

The three magic spells that were unleashed simultaneously struck the ice spirits. While the spirits that were damaged stopped moving, the followers moved.

– Ugh!

-Whoooosh!

and instantly melted the frozen spirits that had stopped moving.

But that was only for a moment, as new spirits appeared and began to counterattack.

– Keuheuheu!

– Taaang!

covering Cerberus’ entire body blocked the attacks of the ice spirits.

And Magnus’s magic bullet, which was riding on the guy’s back, struck the ice spirits.

A terror spreading in all directions.

The spirits’ bodies melted away in an instant.

[Do you know what this sinner’s strength is?]

But that was only for a moment.

Once again, a thick magical power enveloped the surroundings.

[He has overflowing magical power. To the point where he is greedy for a contract with the Spirit King.]

New spirits appearing soon.

Namgung Yeon was a spirit master who was worthy of the title of one of the Ten Heroes. He must have possessed an enormous amount of magical power.

As long as its magic allows, the form can continue to summon ice spirits that follow it.

“This doesn’t help at all.”

– I’m sorry.

“Okay, I know.”

Baek Sa-jun clicked his tongue.

Simply put, the longer the battle goes on, the more disadvantageous it is. That’s what was expected.

I had no intention of fighting for a long time in the first place.

Because what he has to do is simple.

‘There is no need to kill Namgung Yeon. There is no need to fight that figure directly and eliminate it.’

You just need to break the connection between the two.

All that was needed was to create a gap for that. Baek Sa-jun raised his staff and raised the golems.

– Use .

– Kwaaaaah!

The reinforced undead roared and scattered, starting to fight the ice spirits that appeared everywhere.

Spirits being pushed back by the fierce momentum.

The figure who saw the sight expressed his displeasure.

[Are you saying that even those dead people can’t stop it?]

“Cerberus!”

It was a complaint filled with anger.

The figure’s attention was instantly drawn to the undead. Baek Sa-jun did not miss that opportunity. Cerberus snatched the master away and ran across the ground.

The form once again generated magical powers.

[How pathetic!]

– Passsssss!

Numerous ice spheres were created.

The ice sphere spun violently, shooting out blade-sharp ice crystals.

And the moment it approached its target, Baek Sa-jun, it exploded, scattering fragments and cold air.

but.

– Card dunk!

The attack never reached Baek Sa-jun. Before that, his giant wings blocked the magic.

These were wings that Iria had created through physical mutation. The wings, strengthened through hardening, were enough to block magic.

And then a single bullet was fired.

– Shhh!

[Ugh!]

It was Magnus’ bullet.

The magic bullet that passed over Iria’s wings exploded, creating countless eyeballs.

. The dark eyes simultaneously shot death rays toward Namgung Yeon.

[Gaiad. Are you planning to kill the contractor?]

“If he dies, you will disappear too.”

[I didn’t ask you!]

The figure became enraged and generated magical power.

Ice walls rose in front of Namgung Yeon, blocking the rays that were being shot at him.

Yet, the form was angry at the fact that it had to defend itself against the undead and such.

‘now.’

And that was the moment Baek Sa-jun was aiming for.

He decided to secretly summon his retinue, whom he had not sent out until now, and attract the figure’s attention.

By using the effects of the staff.

– Use .

A giant grim reaper appears behind Baek Sa-jun’s back.

The scythe cut through the air.

– Kkwaddudduk!

[Ugh, ugh!]

Ice barriers that split in half in an instant.

In the meantime, the souls exploded, destroying all the remaining barriers. Amidst the explosions and debris that covered the field of vision, the figure calmly watched Baek Sa-jun.

‘If only he were on guard.’

The undead are fighting the spirits, and the three retinues are sticking by Baek Sa-jun’s side.

You just have to be wary of that guy’s actions.

That’s what I thought.

And that thought.

– Shhh!

It was led by Baek Sa-jun.

The soul exploded. Fragments of the barrier were destroyed. Three blasts of wind shot through them.

It was the wind caused by the skeleton who wrote .

– Bam!

– Shut up, shut up!

Split into three skeletons, they rushed towards the figure from all directions.

With flames all over his body and on his sword.

[Skeleton and all!]

The figure hastily raised a barrier to block the skeleton, but the skeleton moved faster.

A huge sword made of flames was shot out.

-Whoooosh!

[this guy……!]

The sword slashed through the barrier that the form had belatedly created, then exploded violently.

Skeletons rushing through it.

The two clones that rushed ahead took the magic that the form was shooting out with their bodies.

“Skeleton, Vera!”

– Crunch… … !

Disappearing clones.

A skeleton appeared through the smoke that appeared as the clones dispersed, closing the distance between itself and the figure.

There is only one thing visible in the glaring eyes.

– Crunch!

[Huh!]

It was only a physical connection between Namgung Yeon and him.

The blazing blade sliced ​​through the connection between the two. The halved connection was shattered like ice breaking, starting from the point where it was cut.

[… … !]

The movement of the giant figure stopped.

And after a while, the relic that was connected to Namgung Yeon also cracked and then broke.

Starting with that, the fog that had formed a shape began to melt, and the thing began to disappear along with it.

[The atonement is not over yet!]

But as if the form could not disappear gracefully, it rushed fiercely towards Namgung Yeon.

It’s about to make a final desperate attempt.

– stop.

Just then, Gaiad stepped forward.

The contractor’s magical power was flowing into her. This was because the connection with the contractor that had been blocked by the Ice Spirit King’s interference had been restored.

Numerous barriers rose from the ground.

– At this point, that kid has paid enough for his crimes. Let’s stop here.

[Guard… … !]

The figure that saw that sight showed anger.

But there was nothing more she could do. The magic that sustained her body was gone, and the artifact that allowed her to be involved in this world was destroyed.

The shape quickly disappeared.

[I will not forget this grudge.]

The form left a last curse.

Baek Sa-jun clicked his tongue as he saw the bastard disappear.

“If you’re going to do it, do it well, all the way.”

– You don’t have to worry. The Ice Spirit King will never see you again… … .

“I’m glad I heard it.”

Gayard said blandly.

That was exactly what he said. We wouldn’t meet again unless the Ice Spirit King found a new contractor.

Baek Sa-jun checked Namgung Yeon’s condition.

“It doesn’t look like it’s in good condition.”

– You don’t have to worry about that either.

But there was no need to worry.

The ground buried in the snow rose and wrapped Namgungyeon like a cocoon. Then, a blue-green light leaked out from within. It was a very warm light.

– It will heal over time.

“That’s great. Then, during that time, I… … .”

Baek Sa-jun turned his head.

I wanted to talk to Gaiad about the reward I promised him, but there’s something I have to do first.

“I’ll go and take care of some of the leftovers.”

The apocalypse faction that was watching Namgung Yeon.

Baek Sa-jun quickly walked away. We can talk about compensation after we deal with those guys.
