45 The Tower of Causality(13)
Frost Queen.
In the far-off past, as the absolute ruler who ruled the entire northern continent, he was more of a spirit than a human, and a transcendent existence closer to immortality rather than a mortal.
When such a Frost Queen escaped from her ‘bridle’ and fate and ascended to the top of a demigod, she left one fault.
A fault filled with all kinds of negative things, including the evil that exists within him.
And the fault is
‘ I mean that guy.’
It was the ‘remnant of the Evil Queen of Frost’, the boss of the last ordeal in front of Zion’s eyes.
Although it was called a remnant, it contained most of the powers that the Frost Queen used right before she became a demigod, so of course its strength was beyond imagination.
No matter how gods and old dragons made them, they would never have appeared as a boss in a dungeon like this originally.
‘ Fortunately, he’s still alive.’
It was time for Shion to think so as she glanced at the hero and his party who had endured so far against such remnants.
aah!
The remnants of the frost, which briefly gazed at the melting lake in a wave of cold that suddenly vanished and the flames that covered the entire cavity, let out a groan of groans.
With him, a wave of condensed cold air in front of the remnant’s chest turned into an awl and shot towards Zion much faster than before.
Its size was very small compared to the wave it was shooting in all directions, but it had the same power.
No, it was correct to say that it became stronger because it was agglomerated.
A blow from the Frost Queen who felt a great threat from the newly appeared Sion.
“ Be careful… … !”
It was the moment when the silver-haired woman was about to spit out warning words while looking at Zion, who stood still without a reaction even though the awl was approaching at a speed that far exceeded even the speed of sound.
Whoops!
I wondered if the flames that were burning around were sucked in and condensed into Shion’s hand, which was gently pushed forward, and collided with an awl of cold air.
Aww!
A huge amount of water vapor that clouded the entire cavity with a huge shock wave radiating from it.
When the eyes of the people watching him fluctuate anxiously, Tuhwahahak!
The bright red flames that exploded like an explosion from the collision point consumed the water vapor that existed nearby and drew a straight line to the place where the remnants of the Frost Queen were.
Zion, who gathered all those flames, stretched out his fist toward the remnants.
He created dozens of layers of ice in front of him, just like when the remnants blocked the strike of the silver-haired woman a while ago.
A wall of wailing that no one has ever broken through.
However,
Quad Duck!
It wasn’t Zion.
Shion’s fist, which smashed all the ice walls in an instant as if tearing a piece of paper, hit the remnant’s body.
At the same time, the appearance of the remnant disappeared on the spot.
The moment when the new model of such remnants reappears while being stuck in the common wall, tuquaang!
With a belated roar, a red line that started from the place where Zion was, was drawn to the place where there were remnants.
Damn it!
A body of remnants that cracks and begins to crumble in the secondary aftermath that spreads throughout the cavity and the terrifying shock transmitted from it.
Before such remnants could even heal the body,
Whoops!
Shion, who glided along the red line that was drawn right in front of him, raised his fist, which had already been pulled to the maximum.
The flames around it were sucked in by Zion’s fists that were thrown out in line with it.
Kwajijijik!
Once again, Remnant hastily unfolded the defensive wall, but this time, Shion’s fist, which immediately broke the barrier of power, smashed the left shoulder of Remnant at once.
aah!
While screaming at the pain she felt from her shattered shoulders, the Frost Queen’s remnant counterattacked, creating hundreds of spears of ice around her.
It was at the moment when all the spears with enough power to erase even a small castle like that were about to be pierced into Zion’s whole body.
Whoops!
The flame of Muspelheim, which was burning softly around Shion’s whole body, seemed to turn black, and it spread through the space and began to annihilate all the approaching spears.
The Black Star of Zion, who denies everything, resides in Muspelheim’s unique power, the Flame Heaven.
Originally, it was something that could not have happened, but it was possible because it was Zion, who gained control over the divine spirit itself beyond obtaining the qualifications to use Muspelheim.
hey?
Even if it was a remnant, did the emotion still remain?
A remnant of a queen that sheds a questionable voice at a sight that cannot be understood by common sense.
Shion, who lowered his body into the arms of such remnants and dug himself, extended his fist upwards using the elasticity of his body.
Tuoung!
Due to the blow, the two arms of the jaejae that were blocking the front were bounced off to both sides, revealing the chest.
Yeomwangchu (炎王錐).
At the same time, Zion’s opposite fist fired towards the exposed heart.
Tuquaah
What would it be like if dozens of fire magic were pierced at one point?
The new model of the remnant that was thrown out once again with a bigger explosion than before is thrown into the common wall without mercy.
However, looking at the remnants of such a remnant, Sion clicked his tongue inwardly once.
‘ I tried to break my heart this time.’
It was the remnant of a transcendental who had reached a half-body, or a remnant of avoiding a fatal blow by freezing the instantaneous time.
‘I have to finish it quickly.’
Shion thinks as he lights up Muspelheim’s flame more strongly.
In fact, it could be said that it would be unreasonable for Zion to deal with that ‘remnant of the evil Frost Queen’ alone in the ‘Seven Heavens’, with a level similar to that of the upper ranks.
Still, there is only one reason why you can get such an advantage and get effective hits.
It was because of Muspelheim’s existence.
Also called ten panthers, this weapon of Loki had an absolute superiority against all kinds of cold.
A kind of unique power.
Thanks to this, he was not affected by the cold at all and was able to fight like this even with a huge power difference.
Plus,
‘ This flame.’
The flames now flowing from Muspelheim and covering the cavity were not just flames.
As another power of Muspelheim, called ‘Semitage (炎世)’, it had the effect of making the space itself where flames burned like the ‘dark area’ of Heukseongha belonged to the user .
In other words, it is said that the encroachment of space that can be used perfectly, even if it reaches the ‘sky’, can be activated just by wearing a Muspelheim.
It could be said that it was an ability that really suited the divine.
Nevertheless, there was a reason why Shion thought the battle had to end quickly.
‘ Muspelheim’s pessimism cannot continue to be activated.’
The power consumed as well as this tremendous effect was beyond imagination.
In addition, now, the remnant of the Frost Queen was embarrassed by the power she had encountered for the first time in her life, and was unable to properly use her power, but if time passed and she got used to it, the situation could have been sufficiently reversed.
To that extent, the difference in power between Zion and Remnants was huge.
‘ Then… … .’
Tuhwa Hahak!
After thinking about it, the dark red flames that gathered behind Zion, which were again shot towards the remnants, form a shape like wings.
aah!
The remnants of the cries of bewilderment at the sight of Zion expanding in an instant create a huge fog of cold enough to cover the entire cavity by waving their hands.
A breathtaking battle began with the ‘King of Fire’ who jumped into the mist without hesitation.
“ What is that… … .”
Lane, who had fallen into a common corner and was catching up, let out a voice that seemed to go out of breath as she watched the battle.
Even when I see it with my own two eyes, I can’t really feel it.
Could this be the battle in myths that can only be seen in records?
And it was the same with the silver-haired woman who was watching the scene from the side.
“… … .”
It was the remnant of the Frost Queen herself, the ‘Seven Heavens’, Turzan, and hundreds of people with more than a certain level each one could not deal with even if they attacked.
‘ But you’re dealing with such remnants alone?’
That’s not enough,
Kwagwagwagwang!
He continued to dominate and push him.
A sight that makes you shiver just by looking at it, making it hard to believe that you are the same human being.
But despite this, the woman thought that the newly appeared ‘king of fire’ was a human being.
Because there was one person who could have guessed it to some extent.
‘ Zeon Harness.’
A mysterious figure who annihilated the Murder Scroll Motherless in the ordeal on the 3rd floor, and fulfilled the conditions of the ‘secret trial’ on his behalf.
Only those who took part in the ordeal could enter the Tower of Eternity, except for the transcendents who made it.
Therefore, there was a high probability that that ‘King of Fire’ was also a participant, that is, ‘Zeon Harness’, the only person who did not appear before entering the final ordeal.
And most of all, for sure… … .
‘ That armor.’
The armor worn by that ‘king of fire’ had an appearance that was very similar to the armor of the first hero that the woman herself was trying to get.
‘ How the hell is it going… … .’
Its identity and intentions could not be guessed at all.
It was when the woman looked at the battle again with confused eyes.
“ Uh… … ?”
Someone’s voice suddenly resounded in the woman’s head.
* * *
Tukwa Gaga Gaga!
As the surface of the frozen lake cracks and bursts, countless pieces of ice rise upward with the power of freezing.
Conversely, the sky of flames falling down from the top of the cavity.
————-!
The remnants of Sion and the Frost Queen continued to clash in an explosion that erupted as the two completely different forces collided.
Boom! Boom! Tuqua and overglow!
The appearance of cracks and splintered remnants here and there compared to Zion, who had no major wounds, showed which way the victory of this battle was leaning.
However, nevertheless, there was a smile on his lips that did not exist at first.
It was true that he was still at a disadvantage, but he felt that the gap was narrowing.
quagga gag!
The leisure that gradually arises from the workshop and the coldness that comes back to life.
On the other hand, the flames emitted by the enemy were noticeably diminishing in power.
Chia!
Recognizing that fact perfectly, Remnant let out a horrifying cry and changed his movements.
A remnant of aggressively attacking unlike the past, which mostly focused on defense.
As the movement of such remnants works,
Thing blah blah blah!
Shion’s new type, which blocks the pouring of attacks, is gradually pushed back, and the victory begins to quickly pass to the left.
With the chill that swelled up in an instant and swallowed Muspelheim’s flames, Zion’s momentum quickly withered.
With him, Zion’s body was wounded one by one.
The longing in the eyes of the jaeja who looked at it was young.
little bit more.
I really didn’t know if I could stop breathing if I pushed it just a little bit more.
With that thought, the sense of the remnant is extremely concentrated towards only Zion.
and at that moment,
Whoops!
In the meantime, the new model of Shion, who had not been allowed to take vital points or fatal wounds while being pushed back, was swept away by the raging cold and shook for a moment.
Remnant did not miss the gap.
Kia aah!
The power of freezing with a completely different level than before, gathering in the right hand of the remnant in an instant along with cries mixed with joy.
A transparent sword made with such power was fired towards the revealed rift in Zion without a single delay.
Even then, without even defending properly, Sion looked at the approaching sword.
In the eyes of Jaejae looking at him, the young desire is turned into joy.
Finally, it was the moment when the sword of power that the queen had created was about to pierce the heart of Zion.
Quad Duck!
A terrifying sound in my ears.
It wasn’t the sound of Zion’s heart being smashed by the freezing sword.
It was the sound made by the two weapons protruding through the sides of the remnants.
hey?
A foolish cry came out of his mouth in a situation he couldn’t understand at all.
He was clearly aware of all movements of the opponent in front of him, but what was the point?
But those weapons also did not belong to Zion.
The owners of the weapons came into the sight of the remnant who immediately turned their heads.
“ I didn’t even pay attention to the people around me.”
It was the silver-haired woman and Turzan.
Having received Zion’s instructions a while ago, they secretly approached the neighborhood by taking advantage of the gap in which all the nerves of the remnants were focused on Zion.
“ I don’t need to deal with you alone, do I?”
With those words, Shion, who smiled at the remnant, clenched his fists.
The moment when the dark-red flame that burned ominously from such Zion’s fist explodes and forms a huge thing… … !
Finally, the remnant could realize.
That all the appearances Zion has shown up until now have been aimed at this moment.
and,
Quad Duck!
Finally, the king’s fist pierced through the queen’s heart.
