Chapter 217
Episode 217
“What’s going on now?”
Clark muttered as if he couldn’t understand Park Hyo-joo’s inaction.
“I don’t know what’s going on… I’m becoming embarrassed. Cough.”
“are you okay?”
“A thorn passed through my whole body. How can I be okay? “I almost died and now I’m alive.”
“I see you’re talking, it’s okay now.”
Zeren smiled bitterly at Clark’s answer.
“She’s using the wind spirit.”
“I knew telekinesis was my specialty, but I was lucky. “Because I have one more ability that matches well.”
“That’s not what I mean. When making elemental attacks, it’s common to think of reversal, right? “It’s like I took out the Fire Dragon from the Five Dragon Fist Armor.”
“But she is cheating.”
“It’s ignoring compatibility. But does it make sense that this works?”
I had to admit it.
If Park Hyo-joo’s attack works, it means that her power is strong enough to overwhelm her opponent.
“No matter how many buffs and enhanced weapons there are, a Revelator is a Revelator. The power gained from Sang Sang is absolute. “But how can they overwhelm us?”
“That’s because you got the context wrong. The power of the Revelator is certainly superior to any other power, but it is not absolute.”
“…!!”
The two people turned their heads in surprise at the sound of Namgung’s voice coming from behind them.
“How long has it been here?”
“From when you guys jumped into the cold? “I saw the beating well.”
“Ugh….”
The two scratched their heads at Namgung’s words.
“Zeren, you have a good eye for analyzing opponents and understanding your surroundings. It was like that when I caught the fire giraffe. But the downside is that you two are trying to solve everything on your own.”
“That’s right…”
“It’s probably because Clark is the partner who has the agility to follow your anomalous plan. But the world is big. “There are more unique people than you guys than you might think.”
bang-! Quagga River -!!
At that moment, a sharp explosion erupted.
The flying ice thorns exploded in the air and shattered, and several people were running underneath them.
It was Myung-Hoon and Ho-Jun.
After dealing with the golem, they joined and quickly targeted the queen under the cover of Gyeongin’s vision barrage.
[Ugh…!!]
The queen hastily waved her hand.
The moment the golems created in the bitter cold tried to stop the two people, the ground beneath their feet exploded, creating a large pit.
-Keep running.
▶ Title: The effect of Magic Eye Hunter is activated.
▶ An explosive bomb was acquired.
pop-! pop-!! Puff–!!!
Before the summoned golems could reach the two people, they fell into the pit and floundered.
Myung-Hoon looked ahead and raised his thumb above his head.
-Move to the direction where the orb is visible. Kyung-in, make sure you continue to provide cover.
-all right.
The two quickly reached the queen’s feet and attacked her without hesitation.
“I’ll join you!!”
Myeonghun raised his sword and slashed at the queen with all his might.
Sigh-!!!
Her collar was cut off.
[How dare you…!!!]
The Queen’s face distorted as she looked at them.
“We will take care of this. Move towards the orb. Roxanne is moving there.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“Aren’t we supposed to be the bait in the first place? Rather, it is too late.”
Hojun tore off the necklace with [Salamander’s Tail] crafted around his neck.
▶ Salamander’s tail starts fire.
A small flame mark flickered above my head.
In an instant, I felt like my body, frozen by the bitter cold, was melting.
“please.”
Park Hyo-joo started running to where the orb was, leaving the two behind.
[Two people…]
The queen rushed towards Myung-hun and Ho-jun, muttering the number of lives to be counted as if it were a spell.
* * *
“Gasp….”
While the two were blocking the queen, Park Hyo-joo was once again able to reach the altar behind the queen.
‘Have all the golems been disposed of?’
Unlike the first time, the ice golems guarding the altar were not visible.
“I guess the queen’s magical power also has its limits. “Thanks to you, I can now breathe a little easier.”
“Roxanne.”
She, who was waiting for Park Hyo-joo to arrive at the altar, had a pale face, contrary to her words.
That’s because she was continuously suppressing the queen’s cold energy, which was so strong that it froze the entire area.
“But at best, it’s like a bomb on the verge of exploding. “When the Queen’s scales all tip, then I won’t be able to stop her.”
“We can destroy this before then.”
Park Hyo-joo stood in front of Boju.
“huh. that’s right. But the question is, can we really break it?”
“Clark’s fire didn’t work, but my dagger cracked it. “It is not simply a matter of properties, but a difference in the type of power.”
She adjusted her dagger and held it.
Hwiiik….
The wind began to rise around the dagger’s blade.
“I guess that’s why Mr. Namgoong made you and me the main force of this inquiry. “The orb can only be destroyed with elemental power.”
“that’s right. I only found out after obtaining the Druid’s Tear. The Snowflake Queen is not simply a monster that uses the power of cold. “If that were the case, there would be no way there was something like this inside the orb.”
“….”
Park Hyo-joo’s face hardened at Roxanne’s words.
“Can you kill this?”
Inside the orb was a small child sleeping.
“How do you know?”
“I heard it from Namgung. “They said it was me who killed this child.”
“…yes?”
“I need this child’s strength to deal with the boss of the next door. But he’ll handle the next door boss. “That means we don’t have to deal with the queen by killing this child.”
“well. Would she really back down that obediently? “I guess she’s trying to avenge the Thunder King.”
“I think differently.”
Roxanne caressed the orb.
As if touching an egg just before hatching.
Strangely, even in the fierce cold, warmth was felt in the orb.
“You know now. The orb may certainly be the queen’s weakness, but it is not a source of strength. “Smashing the orb doesn’t mean her power weakens.”
“But we could use this kid to defeat her. Do not forget it. “She didn’t just attack us because of King Thunder’s death.”
Park Hyo-ju pointed to the gloomy door floating in the sky and said.
“She was the boss of the door anyway. “No different from the Serpent or the Demon Lord, he is just a monster who wants to destroy humanity and the world.”
“I guess you thought so. “I am also from a past life who took that child’s life.”
“What do you mean?”
“The queen’s power is strong, but that doesn’t mean she’s a completely impossible opponent to attack. Zeren and Clark will also realize that they need elemental power now that their attack failed. And among the items that the proxy clan has, there are tools that allow you to use elemental power even if you do not have elemental power.”
Roxanne pointed behind her.
“Nonetheless, why don’t they try again? Because Namgung is blocking them?”
“…?!”
When she heard Namgung’s name, Park Hyo-joo hurriedly looked behind her. But unfortunately, he could not be seen due to the falling snowstorm.
“Is Namgoong here?”
“huh. “I’m with them now.”
“okay.”
“Don’t like it too much. Judging by the way he’s stayed still so far, it looks like he hasn’t joined this hunt.”
“But I’m glad.”
Park Hyo-joo said that she felt relieved just by confirming Namgung’s existence.
“Anyway, it’s weird. “What’s so good about a person like that?”
Roxanne shook her head as if she didn’t understand, but Park Hyo-joo seemed to cheer up at the mere mention of Namgoong.
“So what do you think? Namgoong That nasty person is clearly waiting for us to make this cruel decision.”
Park Hyo-joo sighed lowly as she looked at the small creature visible inside the cracked orb.
“well. “To be honest, I don’t know.”
Roxanne nodded as if she knew that would happen.
“So I’m thinking of asking.”
“ask? To whom?”
“Who is it? To the Queen, of course.”
Crackle…!!
Park Hyo-joo twisted the dagger embedded in the orb with all her might.
* * *
Boom – Boom –!! Kagaga River―――!!
“Brother, this won’t work, right? “It doesn’t show any signs of breaking down.”
“Try a little harder!!”
“That’s easier said than done… I think we’re doomed, huh? “Kkkkkk.”
“Hey, are you laughing during this?”
The two people who curiously blocked the queen’s path were trapped side by side in an ice prison.
The two people smiled bitterly as they looked at the prison without a scratch even though they had beaten the pillars with all their might.
“My brother will go crazy if he sees this.”
“Haha, you bought time though. Because if Hyo-joo destroys the orb, it will end. Still, aren’t you glad?”
“You sound like you’re lucky. Have you trusted me too much these days? “You guys, once this door closes, I will train you myself, so just wait.”
“…!!!”
“…!!!”
The two people could not close their mouths as they heard Namgung’s voice coming from above the square ice prison.
“Brother tongue?”
Myung-Hoon flinched unconsciously at the sight of his eyes looking down from above his head.
“Ha ha ha… Should I be thankful that I have a pillar?”
Suddenly,
instead of answering Hojun’s whisper, Namgung’s sword cut cleanly through the ice prison.
“….”
Looking at the broken pillars, Myung-Hoon and Ho-Jun felt their lips getting dry.
[They are my prey. It is an offering that will complete the balance and sweep away the remaining debris.]
“Really? “If you’re thinking of tipping the scales, kill them right now. Why are you putting them in prison?”
“Brother tongue. “That’s a bit…”
Namgung said, grabbing Myeong-hoon by the back of the broken prison cell and pushing him in front of the queen.
“You want these guys’ lives? try. “Kill them and move the balance.”
“Brother tongue!!!”
Myung-hoon, who was startled, paid no attention to him and when Nam-gung broke his neck, he shook helplessly like a doll.
“Do you really want to move the scales? “So you want to exterminate all living things here?”
[….]
“Being chosen as the boss of the door is compulsory. “It’s like we’ve become participants in a carnival even though we don’t want to.”
Namgung looked at the queen.
“I killed King Thunder.”
[You…!!]
The queen glares at Namgung! I ground my teeth.
“Do you want revenge? Well, I don’t think you came to avenge the death of the Thunder King, nor do you want to fight as the boss of the gate.”
Tung –
At that moment, he took out the Thunder King’s Orb from his arms and threw it in front of her.
“You know. The dungeon disappears after a certain number of doors are opened. “Whether we attack or not, King Thunder has no choice but to disappear.”
[so? Are you saying it was a good thing you killed him?]
“No. “What I’m saying is make better choices.”
Namgung took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“We won by killing you in our past life. But that victory was something I didn’t really want to achieve. “Because I had to make more sacrifices than I thought.”
[Hmph, is human life so precious?]
“Because your lives are just as important as human lives.”
[…What?]
“And it seems like there are other people besides me who are thinking like that right now.”
Namgung walked slowly, looking at Park Hyo-joo approaching.
