in the north (4)
The stairs leading to the top floor where the lord was staying were already crowded with many summoners.
It seems that Eolin contacted not only me but also Seongju.
As they climbed the stairs, mixed among them, the bell began to ring shortly after.
Of course, it’s a short and quick summoning signal.
Arrived with the knights a little faster thanks to you.
On the first day, the top floor, where we had a drink with the lord, became the operational headquarters with a very serious atmosphere.
Seongjoo raised his eyes slightly, as if he didn’t expect me to come.
But I didn’t have to back off.
According to Eolin, the situation appears to be quite serious.
So you won’t be kicking me out.
After that, Medusha and Laurie were also seated, and one of the vassals started briefing.
It seems that Elfriede and Elena did not come up.
I also think it’s right for them to fall out.
“The team that went out to reconnaissance and repair the seal this morning just sent a report. About 5 minutes ago, an anomaly was detected at the 6th seal seal. We are currently searching the area around the area.”
“Are there at least 6 seals…”
Medusha muttered a little as if it was ridiculous.
This is exactly what we feared as we rode the train.
I asked the question carefully, preventing my body from jumping forward on its own.
“Are you Russell?”
“It’s one of the candidates, but it’s unlikely.”
“yes?”
It’s Russell and the Rebels who want to break the seal more than anyone right now?
As not only me but other articles also gave similar glances, he hastily added an explanation.
“The technology used to release the seal is outdated. The 6th seal is very old, so a Magnus Academy graduate can unlock it in two weeks. However, it is estimated that these criminals stayed in the seal for at least two months.”
“Is it slower to unlock the seal than graduates of the academy?”
“Then, is it foreign affairs?”
“Right now, it is very likely.”
Then the North might ask if the seal was left unattended for more than two months, but…
From what I’ve heard, it’s not just one or two of these sticks.
Reconnaissance and repair work only started after receiving the reinforcements of Professor Eolin, so it must have meant that I couldn’t even dare to do it normally.
In the first place, the Ice Castle doesn’t seem like a person who neglected his duties that much.
Seongju, who had heard the speculative remarks, cut off the words of the vassals like a knife.
It’s a little surprising that it wasn’t Russell and the rebels, but… the culprit, we’ll find out later.
“Anyway, the dismantling work is so advanced that it is difficult to seal. We finish preparing for battle within 10 minutes and move to the field.”
“Well, then, the battle with the sealed target…”
“Of course.”
“But there’s a reason why the sealed target is sealed, right?”
The vassal, who seemed relatively young in age, murmured as if grumbling.
Of course, I lowered my voice so that Seongju could not hear it.
There is reason for his concern… The monsters sealed in the Ice and Snow Hell are largely one of two cases.
First, the people at the time were too strong to kill.
Second, there is no way to disable it other than a seal, a very tricky kind.
Neither of these two is the one you want to fight.
Seongju, who heard the vassal’s words, laughs while armed.
“Don’t be too scared. At any rate, it’s a seal that was sealed hundreds of years ago. If we, our descendants, don’t get rid of it, our ancestors will not be able to do it.”
“That’s right… I’m sorry right before the show.”
Seong-joo showed a slightly excited expression as if he had been waiting for this moment.
But when he turns his head towards me, it quickly turns into an embarrassing laugh.
I told him early so he wouldn’t leave me alone.
“I only support from behind.”
“Thank you, Earl of El Cloud. Then let’s all go out! This is your chance to destroy the owner of the seal, who only sucked up maintenance every year!”
The lord who leaves the castle with the spirit of the knights.
In fact, it is safest to defend here, an invincible fortress, but…
If you do that, the inside of the ice-snow hell that is still open to the public may be devastated.
It’s not that there are no residents in Ice and Snow Hell, and I’m worried about other seals, so it’s right to defend forward here.
As I went down the stairs with the collar of my cloak fastened, Persia, who moved to me, asked quietly.
“Master! It’s not like you don’t have enough power, so why did you leave the seal unattended?”
“What will the royal family say if the seal that has been standing still is released?”
“ah…”
No matter how much money I have, I’m a troublemaker…
If the seals of Ice and Snow Hell are unleashed at will, there is a possibility that the royal family and the nobles of the capital will regard it as a rebellion.
In fact, it’s not like there’s no way to deal with the sealed monsters when you’re Eshas.
Perhaps he ordered the status quo to keep the North in check to prevent it from becoming too strong.
While Persia showed vigorous curiosity, Letty in her inner pocket was trembling.
That vibration is transmitted to me as well.
I patted him and walked out the gates with Sylvia.
When she summons the Bicon without delay, the gaze around her becomes strange.
“hehehe!”
“Ah, that’s…”
“Shut up everyone.”
As the vassal, who had made the mistake of speaking earlier, muttered bluntly, the person next to him gave a quick warning.
Sylvia’s Bicon was surprisingly willing to pick me up.
The guy with a total of two people started running like the wind on the rough terrain of the ice and snow hell.
It’s bigger than before, but the speed seems to be the same.
Medusha and Laurie naturally jumped on their feet, but in fact, those guys are much faster than most horses.
After chasing the ghost horse of Seongju, we crossed the mountain and it wasn’t long before we were able to face Eolin.
Standing in front of a large cave, she quickly joins us.
“Professor. What’s the situation?”
“It’s on the verge of releasing the seal. The condition was so serious that I didn’t even try to seal it.”
“It’s okay. Leave us to track down the criminals. Pure white knights! Prepare for battle!”
shudder!
Summoning knights dressed in white cloaks lined up in a row and developed their own summoned beasts.
Because it was such a cold town, he was not armed with iron armor, but with fur and leather armor.
The general, Seong-ju, wore the cloth clothes he usually wore.
Of course, since it’s an artifact-class garment, it will be better than any other type of armor.
Then the cave shook violently several times, and suddenly a strong blizzard began to rage.
It is by no means natural that the timing is so bizarre.
I asked Laurie to change the weather, but she shook her head bitterly.
“No. This area has already been ruled by him.”
“You say you have more authority than SS-Rank Specialized Summons?”
“If it was a guy who wasn’t even that good, I wouldn’t have to seal it up, but just kill him.”
Medusha built a defensive wall by summoning a snake in a short time.
I was also ready to use the delayed spell to send the Demon King.
Previously, it was said that they only assist from the rear, but Christine’s father and vassals may die, so they can’t watch it.
Fortunately, even the demon king made his heart vibrate strongly as if he was willing to step forward.
While everyone was making up their minds in silence.
Finally, a dark blue figure appeared in the darkness of the cave.
The prisoner of the 6th seal is Bingryong.
He didn’t dare compare to Eshas, but he was a big enough guy.
The sunlight that had penetrated through the blizzard reflected off the translucent body and spread out in all directions.
It’s nice to be able to recognize the enemy properly.
To relieve tension, I joked lightly.
“Justin, you bastard child. There is no such thing as a Bingryong that eats shikigami summoned creatures…”
“Beep? Beep!”
“You idiot! Transform quickly!”
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just then, Lety escapes from my arms and scatters the strengthening effect.
The guy who walked out of the cave and faced us roared loudly.
The cries were so loud that I was worried that a landslide might occur in the snowy mountains.
Seongju, who had just pulled out his sword, shouted as he sprinted forward before anyone else.
“attack!”
“What, what! Is it okay for the captain to jump out like that?”
Medusha hurriedly uses the Stone Gaze to support him.
However, Bingryong’s body was made of icy material, so it reflected the light of her eyes.
The lord who summoned the summoned beasts on the left and right lit up a blue magic light from the sword.
Auror, the proof of the highest level of Summoning Swordsman.
It is far beyond my expectations.
“aah!”
“Ha!”
Seongjoo shoots a single sword while lightly dodging Bingryong’s front paws.
The magic light of the sword god expands and breaks the opponent’s body lightly.
Considering Bingryong’s huge body, the damage was quite large.
It’s a bit of a regrettable feeling, but it’s definitely stronger than Sylvia.
Bingryong, enraged after being imprisoned for hundreds of years, counterattacked Seongju, who jumped into the air…
Summoners of Seongju came on time.
A ghost with a mirror in each hand illuminated the castle lord with his right hand and another summoned beast with his left hand.
Then, the positions of the two change in an instant.
“That’s…”
the other one.
Asura, similar to Justin, but much stronger, had a shield in every hand.
Soon after, Asura, who switched seats with Seongju, used all her hands to stop Bingryong’s strike.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just by exchanging the workshop, the surrounding air bursts out, and the fact that it endures despite the clearing of the blizzard is undoubtedly an SS rank.
In the meantime, Seongju, who caught the opponent’s gap, easily strikes again.
A huge crack spreads in Bingryong’s body, which looked just big and hard.
Seongju was much stronger than I expected.
It’s not exact, but it’s almost dean’s level.
He is the kingdom’s strongest summoning swordsman, and deals with useful but rare summoned beasts.
If we go on like this, can’t we handle it by ourselves? The moment I wanted
The blizzard, which had been raging incessantly, began to fill Bingryong’s wounds.
Snowflakes fluttering in the air turn into his blood and flesh.
Laurie, who caught it, hurriedly tried her best, but even so, it slowed the playback a bit.
In the north, where snow is piled up everywhere, his ability is invincible.
That’s why the ancestors of the White family dared to seal it.
As I was thinking about it, the Demon King was ready to compete.
“Okay, let’s go, Lewis. The time limit is about three minutes.”
“Only three minutes?”
“If you drag it longer than that, there is room for the masters of the Book of Heaven to intervene.”
As if he was concerned about the prophecy he had heard last time, the demon lord who went to war with an incomprehensible voice.
What the shadow that jumped out of my body created was the King of Knights of the Double Swords I usually see.
Bingryong, who was constantly beaten by the knights of Seongju, screamed and shouted at the demon king’s participation in the battle.
It was only for a moment that half of his body was broken and staggered with just a few strokes of the Demon King.
The boy quickly recovered from the blizzard and swung his tail.
The demon king, who lightly flicked his tail toward the knights, presented him with a more intense sword attack, as if it were a pity.
“You’re stronger than it looks. How about this one!”
“Aww!”
This time, the head and heart were blown off, and even the wings were smashed.
Bingryong did not get tired and resurrected.
A level of vitality that is already outside the category of the creature.
It seems to be fused with the Ice and Snow Hell itself.
“Well, what a summons like that…”
“It’s not a pet. A target with no possibility of cooperation with humans is not called a pet no matter how strong and useful it is.”
“Ah… that’s right.”
While he was correcting Persia’s error while muttering softly.
The demon king, who was spraying sword attacks with Seongju, clicked his tongue with an annoyed expression.
3 minutes is still a long way away, but if we go on like this, there is no end.
However, it would be easy to weaken it enough to be able to seal it.
However, as if he did not want such a result, the Seongju did not issue any sealing orders.
The Demon King cried out to me in the blizzard.
“Louis! Portal!”
“Yes? But where… ah.”
I belatedly understood his meaning and built a portal using delayed spells.
It is forbidden to dump such a dangerous monster into another dimension without permission.
First of all, the indigenous peoples of the area may suffer great damage…
If it’s that level of monster, there’s a high probability that it has its own means of dimensional movement.
In other words, they were locked up in another dimension, but they could escape on their own.
But we already know a dimension where we don’t have to worry about that.
While the Demon King said to Seongju what to do and dealt with Bingryong.
I filled the 3 minute time limit and built a huge portal.
The cracks in the space where my magic was generously invested appeared, tearing apart reality.
“The portal is open!”
“Huh? Not a seamstress?”
“Ah, there…”
The knights who witnessed the other side of the portal sighed a little.
The place I have connected with our world is the hometown of the Demon King.
It was a demon world from which even Bingryong could not escape.
A really ridiculous size thanks to a delayed spell.
There are already very few demons out there, so there is no need to worry about damage to the natives.
The demon king, who smiled at the very wide crack, began to push the opponent towards it.
The lord and other vassals follow him and focus their attacks.
“Kee, Keek!”
“Go away! Face the end with that world. Don’t worry, it won’t take long.”
After pushing Bingryong hard, the demon king who finally stood in front of the portal kicked him and sent him to the other side.
As soon as I confirmed that it had completely passed, I quickly closed the portal.
End the battle with it.
The blizzard, which had been raging like crazy, had subsided like a lie.
“Hey, sealing the summoned beasts in the Demon Realm… Is it okay to do this?”
“The landlord allowed it, but what about it?”
“I was prepared to die here about half… I’m glad.”
“Honestly, it wasn’t like that? Anyway, thank you, Earl of Elcloud!”
The knights in the north congratulated me on the victory with a smile as if they had already noticed my identity.
It has already appeared several times, so everyone who knows it will know it.
Still, there is no one who says anything because Essha has tolerated it.
As I approached Seongju, who had a smile on his face, the demon king quickly penetrated into my heart.
“Earl Elcloud! How did you get through such a huge portal…”
“You said Seongju’s swordsmanship is better. But shouldn’t we be able to track down the culprit sooner?”
It’s a short time to compliment each other so that our faces get warmer.
When I suggested tracking down the criminals, he nodded coldly.
“Don’t worry, we’ll be patrolling Bongji on our side at the same time.”
“Yes? Oh, then I…”
“No. You just go in and rest. Because you deserve it.”
Seongju refuses to receive any further help and tries to send me back.
Only at times like this, Persia, who was quick-witted, tilted her head…
I was convinced by the reaction that Seongju just showed me.
“Lord, Master. Why are you doing this?”
“Stay still. It’s like the Lord’s own play that the seal was lifted.”
“Yeah? But why would you do that…”
“Who will benefit the most when the seal is released like this?”
From what I’ve heard before… it seems that it costs a lot of money to maintain the seal every year.
In order to maintain the system built hundreds of years ago, it must be continuously maintained.
Besides, the monster locked in the seal wasn’t that great either.
Even for a short time, it was at a level that was pushed back by the castle lord and summons… It is a loss in itself to keep the seal.
I headed to the citadel tonight, determined to hear a detailed explanation.
Persia wrapped around my neck and spread her tail wide to block the cold wind.
