45 The Tower of Causality(14)
As soon as she knew she was being pushed back, the Frost Queen’s remnant shrank, giving all her strength to defense.
This is not a good situation for Shion, who has to finish the battle quickly.
What Zion did to overcome the situation was simple.
Acting as if she had not lost her strength, she induced the Frost Queen to switch from defensive to offensive, and secretly gave instructions to the other participants.
Although the boss of the final ordeal changed because of Shion himself, there was no rule that said to face it alone.
Instead of unfathomably strong force, the intelligence was not so high, the remnants were caught immediately, so, quadruple!
The present situation was unfolding.
Shion’s fist, engulfed in dark red flames, pierces the heart of the remnant fixed by the silver-haired woman and Turzan at once.
Even if it was an anti-spirit, was the heart breaking was a fatal blow?
Awkward!
Dozens of gold from the heart of the broken heart spread throughout the body, and the body of remnants began to crumble along the gold.
Kia aah!
The remnant, who had uttered a scream like a scream, shook his body and exploded an enormous shockwave.
The silver-haired woman and Turzan were thrown out without being able to withstand the repulsion.
However,
Tuhwa Hahak!
In that brief moment, Shion, who canceled the shock wave by triggering Muspelheim’s flame, extended his fist on the other side while maintaining a close distance.
As if crying, the black flames that burned explosively wrapped around Shion’s fists.
It was suicide to hit that fist as it is, so the remnant immediately bounced the new model backwards.
No, it was exactly what I was trying to bounce off of.
Previously,
Suga Gak!
Because the silver-haired woman and Turzan, who had already narrowed the distance again, opened fire and blocked the escape route of the remnants.
As a remnant of the remnant who couldn’t move his body properly, quaang!
Shion’s fists explode with precision.
The stomach of the remnants that could not withstand the force and pierce through to the back and the surface of the frozen lake completely shattered by the aftermath.
turn it off!
With a moan that seemed to run out of breath at any moment, the remnant, who had barely pulled out of Shion, waved one hand.
blatantly!
Thousands of ice spears were created around the silver-haired woman, as she decided to deal with the nuisance first.
Just as all the spears were about to fall on the woman,
“ It can’t be like that.”
Aww!
With a huge shield in one hand, Turzan slammed into the debris like a bull from the side.
A new type of remnant that staggers despite the fact that it has defended the charge with an ice wall.
In an instant created by that, the woman’s new form disappeared, and ice spears were embedded in its place later.
at that time,
ride it!
As if he would not even give him time to breathe, Lane, who suddenly joined the battle, stepped on the ends of the ice spears stuck in the floor and rushed towards the remnants.
Lightning strikes the window of Lane, who has narrowed the distance in such an instant,
“ This time, I will break through.”
With a low voice, it struck the freezing barrier of the remnant as it was.
Woo Jijik!
A spear digging into the inside with a light sound and a barrier that cracks and cracks.
As if it wasn’t the end of it, Rain, who gained momentum by turning his body around in the air, tapped the tip of the spear studded with his foot once more and pressed it down.
Tuquaah!
As a result, the barrier was completely shattered.
This was partly due to the fact that the remnants were weaker than before, but it was also thanks to Lane’s spear pointing towards the barrier’s weak point.
The silver-haired woman who had disappeared from the back of Lane, who broke the barrier and landed like that, appeared with her white, glowing sword pulled to the maximum.
A sword that breaks the six skies.
Clap Duck Duck!
The woman’s sword, which was shot with a loud sound that cannot be expressed in words, shattered one arm of the exposed remnant.
Before the remnants of the Frost Queen spit out a painful howl, roar!
Shion, who appeared from above with a dark red flame, struck the remnant’s head with a blow with Muspelheim’s power as if it was about to end.
The connection between the new type of remnant that penetrates the surface of the lake and digs downwards due to the impact, and the warriors who continue after that.
Kwag and gaga!
As a result, the whole body of the remnant being beaten begins to break down even faster without even being able to properly resist.
Already it could not even be called a battle.
It’s just a form of execution.
Did you think that if you keep going like this, the only thing that will exist at the end is empty death?
aah!
Completely different from before, the new model of the remnant that burst out a bizarre scream turned into ice cubes and scattered on the spot.
The remnants reappeared at the farthest end of the cavity on the battlefield.
There, he stretched out his arm, which had only one remnant of all the participants, including Zion, in front of him.
That moment,
Whoa ah ah ah ah!
All the cold air that had been fighting the flames of Zion while covering the entire cavity began to be sucked into the remnant’s hand.
“ That… … !”
The group of warriors, who felt ominous from that appearance, slammed towards the remnants at the same time, but the cold air was sucked in much faster than that.
Finally, the agglomeration of such cold air reaches its maximum.
In addition to that, it was a moment when the remnant contained all the powers, including even the minimum power to sustain itself.
Whoo!
A wave rising from the condensed cold air and spreading throughout the cavity, followed by a brief silence.
and,
ggggggggg!
A huge wave of cold derived from that wave began to approach the participants, covering the entire field of vision.
The last bite of the remnant.
And it was the final blow created by the instinct to kill all those who took part in the ordeal.
Is it because Remnant gave everything he had?
The intensity and power I felt from him was beyond my imagination to the extent that I couldn’t even compare it to the past.
The silver-haired woman standing in the front couldn’t even dare to stop it.
I couldn’t avoid it either.
‘ Where the hell… … .’
A wave of cold was approaching, covering the entire cavity.
It was when the woman looked at the waves of cold that was approaching, freezing even space and time, and made a bewildered expression.
jerk.
With the sound of submerged steps, someone passed by the woman’s side.
A single man walking directly toward the approaching waves with flames rising from his whole body.
It was Zion.
“ Maybe that alone… … !”
Looking at Shion’s back like that, the moment an urgent voice came out of the woman’s mouth, Tuhwahahahahaha!
Just like the remnants of the Frost Queen just a moment ago, the flames that had filled the cavity began to be sucked into Zion’s right fist.
It is a collection of Muspelheim’s unique power of pessimism (炎世) in one place.
With him, a partial lunar eclipse triggered by the black star, which occurred naturally, colored the flame black and began to amplify it.
The surrounding space that vibrates like a flame and disappears.
‘ This is the superiority of the match, but the difference in basic strength is large, so it is disadvantageous if they collide head-on.’
Then there was only one way.
‘ Smash it with a single point.’
With that thought, the black flame that continued to agglomerate in Shion’s fists that were clenched even more strongly.

Meanwhile, the waves of the queen approaching right in front of her opened her mouth to swallow Zion.
“ No… … !”
It was a moment when the eyes of the participants, including the woman who was looking at it from the back, shook strongly.
Finally, the flame of myth compressed to the limit to the point that it is invisible.
jerk.
Taking a bigger step forward, and at the same time becoming annihilated.
Zion’s fist swung while holding the flame,
——————–!
As it was, he smashed the waves of power.
* * *
There were no more battles.
The waves that collided with Zion’s fist are completely destroyed, and at the same time, the ice covering the cavity disappears all at once.
and,
self-
The remnants of the evil Frost Queen, who stood idly in the middle of it, were also slowly falling into dust.
The heart, which had already functioned as a nucleus, had been destroyed, and it would have been impossible to sustain life anymore because it consumed all its power.
The moment the body of such remnants is completely dispersed – congratulations. You have passed the final ordeal.
The ordeal assistant’s voice was heard by all the participants there.
– Additional points are awarded according to your contribution.
– Ranking is calculated by adding up the points earned so far.
– Differential rewards are given according to the ranking.
“… … passed.”
“ Ha… … .”
dump!
With him, some of the participants, whose legs were loosened due to a sense of relief, begin to sit down.
and,
– With a total score of 223 points, you are in second place.
The voice of an artificial spirit that additionally rings in the ear of the silver-haired woman who stared blankly at the overwhelming sight that Xion had created.
This was somewhat of an expected result.
So, instead of being frustrated, the woman turned her head to the person who was supposed to be number one.
king of fire.
No, Zion Harness.
“ You… … .”
It was the moment when the woman approached Zion, who was covered with Muspelheim’s flame, and immediately opened her mouth to say something.
– Settlement begins.
The darkness she had seen when she first entered the tower with the final sound of the ordeal assistant’s voice overtook her.
* * *
Around the Tower of Causality.
“ Why don’t you come out?”
Thousands of people still gathered there and looked at the tower.
However, the tendencies of such people were very different from the last time.
Because they were gathered not to enter the tower, but to wait for those who entered.
Those people’s eyes were tinged with anxiety.
The reason was that not one of the many people who had entered the tower until now did not come out.
“ It has already been two weeks since the first expedition entered… … .”
It was to the point of being called the Tower of Death.
Because of that, the number of people entering gradually decreased, and soon there were rumors that the Empire would control the entrance of the tower.
“ Actually, isn’t that tower a trap, not a dungeon?”
“ Hey, this guy! Don’t say that. Because there is nothing good about it.”
“ Isn’t it too strange though? How could even one… … .”
Among those who express such anxiety,
“ After… … .”
Eileen, one of the top executives of the Moon’s Eye and the branch manager of Hubris, sighed a little.
There were several reasons why she is here now, but the biggest one was because of Prince Zion.
There was information that had to be conveyed as quickly as possible, and for that reason she, one of the few who knew that Prince Zion had entered the tower, had come here in person.
“ Why didn’t you come out?”
A low voice came out of Eileen’s mouth.
In fact, she was well aware of the power and heart of Prince Zion, so I wasn’t too worried.
It was only questionable that it would take so long even after he entered.
‘ I think it will be difficult to delay any longer here.’
It was when Eileen frowned slightly with that thought.
“ Hey there!”
One of the people in the crowd, with a loud cry, pointed a finger at the entrance to the Tower of Causality.
there,
Paah!
There was a bright light that was completely different from when I entered.
And those who are slowly starting to appear in that light.
“ Fourth… … Those who entered on the fourth day!”
Compared to when we entered, the number had decreased considerably, but it was definitely there.
Some of the faces I remember when I entered were among the people who came out of the light.
“ People came out of the tower!”
At the same time, people started shouting loudly and flocking towards the participants.
‘ Where’s Zion Harness? Weren’t we out together?’
One of the participants, a silver-haired woman, looked around, recognizing the approaching people.
But the invisible appearance of Zion.
I had to continue the story I couldn’t tell because of the sudden settlement a while ago, but I couldn’t figure out where I was going.
When the woman’s eyes are stained with regret and disappointment,
‘ Hasn’t His Majesty Zion come out?’
Eileen also had eyes similar to that of a woman.
‘ You said you went on the fourth day, but… … .’
Did things go awry or something else happened?
tock tock.
Then someone from behind tapped her on the shoulder.
“… … !”
Eileen’s eyes widened as she turned her head to see someone.
There, as usual, Zion, with languid eyes, stood there as if nothing had happened.
“… … Since when have you been here?”
Eileen, who soon regained her composure, asked Shion.
Originally, it was correct to say hello, but now she was deliberately omitted because Shion was hiding her identity.
“ Just. Why did you come all the way here to me?”
After giving a short answer, Shion looked into Eileen’s eyes and immediately asked.
The fact that she came here in person meant that she had something to tell her quickly.
To Zion’s question like that,
“… … Something happened in the capital.”
A heavy voice came out of Eileen’s mouth, whose expression hardened.
