134. what test was it?
with a plop! rumbling……!
I suddenly opened my eyes
I noticed that I fell into the water.
And when I realized that, I couldn’t help but fall into a state of confusion.
‘Eh, why?…’
My head was a mess.
Wasn’t I in the ice valley of a thousand years just a little while ago?
But why is it all of a sudden in the water?
‘Have you lost your mind?’
But that didn’t seem to be the case either.
Because the last memory remained clear.
‘Certainly, I have memories of catching the spirit king’s essence.’
If this is what happened right after that…
‘Isn’t it real?’

Just fantasy.
That possibility could not be ruled out.
After actually falling here, this isn’t the first time I’ve experienced a fantasy like this.
together.
‘I can’t even see Pegasus.’
albeit for a short time.
Pegasus’ tendencies were understood to some extent.
It was hard to believe that he was a golem, and he followed me well.
No, is it a golem?
anyway.
If I had lost my mind or had moved somewhere, the Pegasus guy would have followed.
But now, no trace of Pegasus could be found anywhere.
I made the assumption that all of this is an illusion.
Now I wanted to find a way to come to my senses.
Of course, in the meantime, my breath was gradually blocked.
Such a high level of illusion was enough to completely erase the line between the real and the virtual for the person consumed by the illusion.
Even I could clearly feel that I was submerged in the water.
It was impossible to breathe naturally.
‘If my prediction is correct…This is an illusion created by the spirit king’s essence.’
Didn’t Magmaros warn you?
[The spirit king’s essence will try to see if the one who reaches out to him is worthy of that power. You will have to prove it.]
Qualification to draw and use the power of Mother Nature like one’s own limbs.
It was Magmaros’ advice that it wouldn’t come so easily.
To break the test set by the previous King of Spirits.
Only then will you be able to obtain the essence of the Spirit King of Water, which contains all the powers of the Spirit King of Water.
‘I was prepared, but…!’
For example, in the case of the spirit king of fire, Essence, it was said that the test was to withstand the phantasmagoria of burning the skin.
In this situation, I also have to take the test prepared by the water spirit king and pass it.
It’s not like phantom pain, it’s just a lump of illusion…
‘It’s a headache… hm?’
at that time.
It reminded me of something I had been craving for a while.
‘Yes, I…was able to break the illusion, right? Oh yeah.’
I hadn’t used it in a while and forgot about it.
Didn’t I have [Mana Burning]?
[Normal skill: Mana Burning (fighter class only) – Burns all remaining mana to escape from non-physical mental attacks (debuffs) caused by magic.]
Mana Burning is a normal skill, and illusion is still the spirit king’s illusion.
I’ll have to try it to see if it works or not…
‘There’s nothing wrong with trying it!’
I bit my lip slightly.
* * *
aaang!
The giant’s punch was no different from a natural disaster.
I couldn’t face it, and there was no other way but to avoid it.
That is Magmaros, the king of spirits, and Creuyton, born of a giant.
And Vampire Lord Orhel was no different.
Neal and Barbau, although they were in the long past, were ‘gods’.
Orhel shouted, rolling her eyes at Barbau’s bloody attack.
“Hey! Magmaros! They said they would destroy each other? They said they would stop it by self-destructing? Hurry up and do it!”
Magmaros also shouted, dodging Naool’s fist.
“A little while ago, they told me not to say anything strange!”
“That was a little while ago! Things are different now!”
“Eight! A heartless fellow!”
The two giants were angry at them.
“This cunning bastard…!”
“How long do you think you can run away!”
“Then you’re just right?”
“I can’t!”
while they draw attention.
Creighton cautiously moved to aim for the rear.
Whoops! aaang!
Thanks to Magmaros and Orhel for escaping by twisting their movements here and there without giving them time to catch their breath.
A golden opportunity came to Creighton.
Kroyton started spewing out the strongest flames he had.
Even its appearance has changed.
“Kurrrrrrr……!”
His head was like a red lizard.
Kroyton had changed into a lizard man.
Magmaros was surprised to see it.
“Salamander…!”
“What? Salah, what?”
“When the giants reigned as gods. It is a fire spirit that existed in those ancient times.”
Orhel also checked Creweyton’s figure from the side.
“So, is it strong?”
“I wasn’t weak. But I wonder if even the giants could eat it…”
“I don’t know, just shout. If that doesn’t work anyway, there’s no way. If that fire lizard goes first, let’s stick together and hang out. There’s no choice!”
“I guess so!”
When the two of you made up your mind
“Damn the giants! I’ll give you a ride here so that no corpses are left behind!”
Kroyton opened his mouth and let out a wild, unrefined black flame reminiscent of a dragon at first glance.

aaa!
Immediately after using the Mana Burning skill.
The world of illusion spread before my eyes began to distort.
‘Sat, it works?……’
I had a feeling that mana burning and the spirit king’s fantasy were colliding with each other’s honor.
The fortunate thing was… it seemed that the mana-burning side seemed to win.
Not long after.
Great! Damn it!
A world full of water, like broken glass, started to crack everywhere.
Wow Chang Chang Chang!
Soon it completely collapsed and the real world came into view again.
“Hee hee hee!”
The first thing that came into my sight when I came to my senses was none other than Pegasus.
It seemed that he was always by my side.

Just sticking close to me, blocking the wind.
Besides, he knew that his body was cold because he was made of metal.
Is it possible for a golem to be so caring?
To be honest, I was a little surprised.
“Did you still protect me?”
“Hee hee hee!”
“Put.”
A small laugh came out without my knowledge.
Because it looks cute
I put the palm of my hand on the boy’s torso and stroked it.
“Cold is cold.”
I asked, warming up Pegasus’ torso with a little heat in my hand.
“Isn’t it hot?”
“Hee hee.”
Pegasus nodded.
As expected, it was a golem that was a golem, so it didn’t seem to hurt or suffer from the heat.
I increased the speed a little more, and after raising it to the perfect temperature for riding a Pegasus.
I climbed on the boy’s back.
“Let’s go. Even while doing this, Orhel and the other three seem to be having a hard time getting the giants’ attention.”
through the third eye.
I could feel that a battle was taking place.
Does Pegasus also know the direction?
It started to fly straight towards the target.
However, I did have a brief curiosity.
‘I heard that I have to pass the test…… What kind of test was it after all?’
Because I broke it so easily, I was a little curious about the contents of the test.
* * *
“It’s Creuyton! Barbau, Kreit!…”
“I saw it too!”
Blowing away all the moisture in an instant.
Black flames that make skin crack.
in that relentless fire.
Even Barbau, the giant of the seas and lakes, could not be caught off guard.
It was because the black flames that Creyton spewed out were not much different in concentration from those used by Hellperion, the giant of embers.
“Aww! How dare you stick your teeth at us, Creighton!”
“It’s hot! It’s hot! It’s hot…! It’s hot!”
But even if you say so.
The two giants were still strong enough to stand there and hold on.
In response, Orhel and Magmaros also took advantage of the gap and pulled out their main weapons.
Aww.
Orhel had ten huge spears of blood!
“Croyton, that guy. Since he changed into that figure, his words became rougher, and his personality seems to have changed a little too?”
And Magmaros created a huge pillar of fire reminiscent of a waterspout on the sea!
“Concentrate!”
“Originally, you have to do it while concentrating and relaxing in moderation!”
“Anyway, the words…!”
Papa baba babat!
Spears of blood shot through the snow.
The pillar of fire hit the two giants with a force that would burn the heavens and the earth.
hooked! Fufufufufu! Roaring!
A strange sight unfolded before him.
The black flames of Kroyton and the pillars of fire of Magmaros superimposed on the giants with long spears made of blood.
It was as if a spear of blood had been stuck in a black pillar of fire.
They pump their stamina all the way.
It continued to run without stopping.
The snow around it melted and water flowed down the floor.
The additional little memorizations of blood continued to pierce through the pillar of fire.
To the point where the colossi inside them are very rags.
How many hours pass like that.
Creuyton, Magmaros, and even Orhel were gradually losing their stamina.
And now I no longer felt any particular resistance within the pillar of fire.
Hey hey profit……
In the end, even the pillar of fire was extinguished by the coldness created by the ice valley of a thousand years.
The three of them, whose limit was barely standing, naturally focused their eyes on the spot where the pillar of fire was raging.
“Have you… been hurt?”
It was then.
Koo Goo Goo!
The two figures stand up again.
At that sight, Magmaros and Orhel clicked their tongues.
“I forgot. These guys…they were still alive even after I cut their heads, right?…”
“Hey, damn it…”
On the other hand, the giants seemed to be overheated.
“Barbau… Naol, really angry…!”
“Okay, come out…I don’t think I’m going to be moderate anymore!”
Croyton, who had turned into a lizard head, frowned.
“This is a bit… I think it’s going to be difficult.”
Let Barbau and Naul hit the floor with their feet and fists.
Quagwa gag gag gag gag!
Pointy ice thorns surged continuously, rushing towards the three.
“Keuuugh!”
“Pi, it’s too late to dodge! Don’t stop!”
“sh*t!”
It was so huge that he couldn’t even dare to run away.
The moment right before those thorns hit the three.
with a massive earthquake.
Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung!
A wall of ice surged in front of them.
The barrier had enough room to block even the attacks of the two giants.
and.
Then Rohan’s voice came from up there.
“Did the strategy change while I was gone?
Let’s raise our heads to him.
Rohan on top of the black Pegasus, proudly, like a triumphant general.
I was looking down here.
