Chapter: 373
64. Absence (4)
Bingbaek Mountain Range, Baengnyeong Highlands Fortress.
Built on a snow-capped mountain range at an altitude of 5,000 m, this fort is characterized by a blizzard at any time of the year, 365 days a year.
Thanks to this, most soldiers have plenty of cold-type mana, so most soldiers use cold-type magic.
And had some tolerance for the cold.
Of course, even if you learn cold magic, you can't control or avoid natural disasters like snow storms.
Sharper than a blade and to withstand the cold season, only warriors with strong mental power and excellent magic and stamina lived in the fortress.
Longevity 156 years.
The years of preventing the demons and monsters that inhabit the Icebaek Mountains from descending to the Central Continent.
Not allowing a single intrusion
It has already been established as an impregnable fortress for nearly two centuries…….
“…It's incredible.”
Archduke Seolparam, who had an extra-large cane, bigger than a normal staff, inserted into the floor, looked around at the horrendous scene while sobbing.
4th Blue Wind Outpost.
This place, which was in charge of the front of the fortress by firmly maintaining the northwest boundary, had completely collapsed.
Survivor, Zero.
A soldier who came down to quickly grasp the situation as regular reports did not come up.
They also disappeared and disappeared.
“General……. What monster could do something like this?”
Not only people, but also buildings and even magical weapons are severed as if they had been sliced by something sharp.
Since this is impossible with human magic, it must be the work of a monster.
However, even if you think of it as a monster, there are not only a couple of questions.
There were no monster footprints or bloodstains left anywhere.
No way, the top of the blue wind advance base
Yes, I can't imagine that the unit couldn't inflict even the slightest wound on the monster. It would be normal for there to be traces left somewhere, but wherever you look around, there are only footprints of soldiers.
“The Magic Engineering Investigation Team is working hard, so an answer will come sooner or later.”
Even as Grand Duke Seolparam said that, he felt that the situation was not good.
He is receiving a report from the investigation team in real time, but the only thing is that there is still no progress.
Is it really possible that such a monster exists in the world?
To say that a base was razed to the ground and no trace was left.
“General. I think you should leave the rest of the work to the investigation team and return first. Reports are coming in that an unidentified figure is constantly being detected at Northern Base 1.”
“I guess so.”
Grand Duke Sulparam clenched his staff in his hand.
Actually…… This isn't the first time that suspicious incidents like this have started to happen.
A deformity not registered in the monster encyclopedia
Something in the form of an enemy knocking on this place has happened quite frequently in recent years, but it hasn't caused such a big incident, so I've been neglecting it.
'I have no choice but to ask for his helphis…
Returning to the fortress, Sulparam sighed. An unidentified voice that has been heard for some time.
If it was the usual Seolparam, he would never have listened to it.
But she seduced him with words that no one could help but seduce.
'Your younger brother is sick.'
San Saeram, the younger sister of Grand Duke Seolparam, who suffered from an incurable disease since birth.
She was so willing to give anything in return if it could cure her, so she easily succumbed to the seduction of her voice.
'All you have to do is do what I tell you to do.'
It was a very simple task.
It wasn't too difficult either.
Really, too easy…… Such a request…
'…What did I do?'
Suddenly, Grand Duke Seolparam realized that part of his memory had been blurred, but no further reasoning was possible.He can't even think because he does n't know what he's forgotten.
“Whoa… It's a useless worry.”
The situation is still confusing, but I can't put my energy into these idle thoughts. Sulparam shook his head to clear his thoughts and hurried on his way.
As soon as possible, we must solve this mystery of the unknown cause occurring in the fortress.
It was probably the most difficult opponent since Baek Yu-seol was able to use 'Blink'.
So far, Baek Yu-seol has been fighting in a way to evade the opponent's magic with superior mobility through blinking, catch points, and accurately stab the weak point.
So far, there has not been an opponent who has not been well served by this strategy.
However, although it was a very small number, it struggled a little against some dark demons who were characterized by mobility…… Even so, he couldn't keep up with the mobility of Baek Yu-seol.
Because he literally had the ability to fold and move through space.
But what if he meets someone with similar abilities?
– Horner…
That white haze-like existence
Just like that. It did not move freely through blinking like the white yuseol, but it dispersed the entity like a computer graphic with a delay, and then moved to another place in an instant.
A fight against a being with the same mobility as oneself.
That…… It was strange to express it vaguely with the word 'difficult'.
Well, I needed a more aggressive word.
For example…… Like 'enjoyable'.
Awesome!
“Ugh?!”
As Haze swayed and swung a white afterimage, Baek Yoo-seol instinctively twisted his head to avoid it.
Then, a huge knife mark penetrated a place only a few centimeters away from where he was standing.
'This ••••••
pounding!
My heart trembles. Engagement with opponents with similar abilities to me. If you lose your guard even for a moment…… Die.
If the situation had been unfortunate, I wouldn't have been able to even think of such leisurely thoughts.
Wedge-!
When Baek Yu-seol violently swung the clear moon, a part of the haze caught at the end of the track was torn off and scattered.
The heat haze, which had not been damaged by any magic, was effective against the sword attack of the white snow!
Even when parts of the haze were scattered, the size of the main body gradually decreased and its ability weakened, so Baek Yu-seol, who originally showed the weakest appearance in the war of attrition, strangely took an advantage in the war of attrition.
If it is simply difficult to do, who
would you say it's fun
Even though it is difficult, isn't it the mindset of Korean gamers that it is fun when I have an advantage?
Awesome!
Baek Yu-seol, who finally decapitated Haze, released [All Heaven] And stuck his sword into the ground to support it.
He didn't use it for a long time, but the recoil was negligible.
“Whoa…
The haze turned into smoke and completely flowed into the air, and the snowy white snow was confirmed that this place was a few hundred meters from the city.
I realized belatedly that I was out of position.
After fighting a very fast being, he naturally moved from place to place.
After confirming that the haze had been dealt with, magic warriors were pouring in from afar, so Baek Yu-seol hurriedly put on his straight copper glasses.
“What do you think. Any progress on the analysis?”
The answer comes after a while.
[Error Occurred!]
[Error code: ?]
[This is the code of the dimension that cannot be analyzed as a result of the detailed check.]
It was like that.
Since I couldn't even recognize the straight copper glasses, I couldn't analyze or do anything.
'What is the identity…?'
At least it is certain that it is not of this world. Meaning it's not an ordinary monster. In addition, the strange sense of difference that he felt while sword-to-sword with his opponent kept making Baek Yu-seol uncomfortable.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“What happened to that monster?”
“Oh, the surroundings are completely devastated.
It was.”
The magic warriors clicked their tongues and looked at the horrors. The pine trees of winter, which had grown strong despite the cold weather, had been cut down.
Half of them had been cut out by Baek Yu-seol, but he said boldly.
“It's all him.”
“Oh, what a rotten bastard in the world…
“Good job. No magic at all
It was an embarrassing car because I didn't.”
“It hurts my pride that I couldn't do anything as a guardian of Tcalanta, but I still have to repay my benefactor. Come with me.”
“Yes.”
Baek Yu-seol, who inadvertently tried to follow them, remembered a sentence that bothered him.
'The devil doesn't work at all?'
Didn't there be only one monster of that type in Aether World Online?
A week with the concept of the world of magic
The existence that showed the ghastly stat of 99% magic immunity.
'Ah, no way…… It doesn't matter.'
Isn't the dark dragon and heat haze slightly different? The setting was that the Black Dragon, as the absolute master of magic, analyzes all magic and counter-calculates it to bounce it off, but Haze didn't exist, so it couldn't 't 't be hit with ordinary magic.
Besides, why would something related to the Dark Dragon suddenly appear here?
Thinking rationally, no relationship at all
none.
“Hmmm
“Why but?”
“No.”
But why?
Why is it so embarrassing?
'…… I'll have to wait a little longer and think about it.'
North, Icebaek Mountains.
Baengnyeong Plateau Iron Wall Fortress.
Again-!
Emperor Jeong-pal-wol passed through the front gate gracefully and confidently with his yellow hair flying.
“Who are you?”
“I don't know. The general told me to pass……
“Are you a hidden lover?”
“Let's go out…
When a beautiful woman who is hard to find in the north appeared, the fortress was turned upside down.
Ordered to let her through her without her car her!
'Huh, it's fun…
Her appearance her is sculpted in a form that stimulates human instinctive desire, and her desire her boils just by looking into her eyes her regardless of age or gender.
Her her ability her is different from Seorin's her [Late love attraction], Which made her fall in love and fall in love with her.
Instead of letting her opponent die naturally, she uses her desire her to make her her completely her slave her.
It is very dangerous because it is an ability.
'This feeling is so amazing~!'
How long had it been since she walked with her face her proudly like this?
In the first place, since it was the eighth month of the Emperor's reign, when there was no such thing as a 'body', an enormous amount of energy had to be poured in to show the true nature to a human being.
Every single line of sight that touches her consumes an astronomical amount of mana, meaning that she cannot be used in places where there are many lines of her line of sight her.
That's why it was possible to reveal the reality only in the northern part where people were rare.
Above all, her Baengnyeong Highland Fortress was her core strategic point, her and she intended to make it completely her own, so there was no great damage even if she proudly appeared.
If you enslave everyone here, it will be easy to rule.
As we were walking along the main street, it wasn't long before hundreds of soldiers came out and lined up on either side, thumping their canes to the ground!!
A salute made by several people at the same time.
The man waiting at the end was none other than Grand Duke Seolparam.
Gray-white hair and blue eyes.
He was a man with a strong impression, but his deep eyes he seemed to be worrying for some reason.Seol Param, a northern man who looks a little depressed, but has more upright mentality than anyone else.
“…Are you here?”
Because it was in front of her subordinates, she did not bow in order to hide the identity of Emperor Jeong August.
She had to remain on an equal footing with her.
“Yeah, it's a nice place.”
“You show yourself. I was surprised.”
“Okay? From today onwards, I will visit you quite often.”
Times are changing too fast to hide behind the scenes. Before Huigongshiwol could do anything, he had to act faster.
“Is that so. Welcome to me. Now, eat it this way.”
“Thank you.”
Cheonhwangjeong-palwol, who was escaped by Seolpa-ram and entered the fortress, suddenly became irritable.
'Tch, if it wasn't for the curse that the grandfather of the founding magician gave…… Sulfur of Scalven
He might be being treated in the gold palace.'
But what can I do?
It has endured well for a thousand years so far, and has it not overcome the curse enough to reveal itself like this now?
Sooner or later
It wasn't long until the day he showed himself and stood proudly on top of Aither World.
'Hoegongsi month…… I don't know what schemes they're up to, but I'm only going to get into it after I get the benefit I can.'
She snorted at her as she followed Seol Param into the fort.
'Until then, do whatever you want.'
I have no intention of letting the situation go the way that unlucky bastard wants.
…… While she was thinking that, she was thousands of meters above the fortress.
In a place higher than the clouds.
Hoegongsiwol is the eighth month of Cheonhwangjeong…… No, she was looking farther than that. He didn't even care about her in the first place.
“It's a slow start.”
Hoegong Siwol, who simply confirmed the purpose, quickly disappeared on the spot.
Do you really know the emperor?
The fact that he came here was already the plan of Huigong Shiwol.
