Chapter 98.
After the third ordeal, the sanctuary became more sacred than before.
“But it is not easy.”
It seemed to be difficult to accept unless the energy was suffocating like that of the Demon World.
I could only feel the divine power, but I couldn’t accept the divine power in any way.
“Should I finish training soon?”
The fourth ordeal was approaching.
After thinking about it, I thought it would be better to end the ordeal quickly.
That’s it…
“After the ordeal is over, the sanctuary will have more divine power.”
I checked the number floating in the air.
[2:34:22]
It wasn’t long until the fourth ordeal.
The first trial seemed to ask for my justice.
The second ordeal felt a sacrifice forced on me along with my mental strength.
The third trial gave me the experience I lacked.
“but···.”
The fourth ordeal was incomprehensible.
But if you think about the ordeal you’ve been through so far, one answer came out.
“It was everything I needed.”
Except for the first ordeal, which I do not know why, the second and third trials were of great help to me.
Even the things given as rewards were things that could be of great help to me.
“That means the fourth trial is…”
I thought about what I need right now.
I needed the power to handle the divine power now.
But it couldn’t be easily obtained.
“Still, if… if you give me a trial related to this…”
A thought passed through my mind.
I thought about it for a moment, but somehow it seemed like it would give me that kind of trial.
“It must be an ordeal related to mana management!”
It’s not clear, but if it’s the ability to control mana, it’s also applicable to divine power.
That’s because it’s divine power that can be said to be similar to mana.
Of course, it is not certain that they are similar because there are no people who have acquired both abilities at the same time.
“Okay, it looks like they’re going to give you an ordeal related to mana, so you should prepare for it.”
It’s not much time left, but I need to improve my mana management ability.
***
In the freezing cold, I was keenly aware of my carelessness.
“Your mana management ability sucks!”
The fourth ordeal was the environment. To be precise, they had to survive in an extreme environment.
At the same time as the ordeal began, the sanctuary turned into a snowy mountain and even a snowstorm began.
Because of that, I was suffering from extreme cold.
“It’s cold… I’m going to die like this…”
Because it was cold, I was annoyed.
“I’m really going crazy…”
It’s so cold I can’t even move.
It is said that if you become a sword master, you will not be greatly affected by the seasons.
but that’s bullsh*t
Even for the Sword Master, the cold was cold, and the hot was hot.
It was just that he was able to withstand better than others because his body was trained.
“In this cold…”
I checked the numbers in the air.
[167:40:32]
“A week…”
Judging from the declining count, the moment when that time becomes zero would be the end of the ordeal.
It’s already been 20 minutes since I changed to the snowy mountain environment, but I didn’t do anything.
I was just walking forward, looking for clues to quickly end this ordeal.
But there seemed to be no such way.
“sh*t···!”
It was unreasonable to endure barefoot in this cold anymore.
I breathed mana into the bracelet.
In an instant, my vision narrowed.
The bracelet had turned into full body armor.
“It’s much better than before.”
It was much better to be able to avoid the skin-ripping blizzard.
“Around…”
The moment I spoke, I immediately cut off the mana that had been blowing into the bracelet.
The full body armor turned into a bracelet, and I was faced with a blizzard that seemed to tear my skin again.
“I was careless… it almost got into trouble.”
There was a reason why I hurriedly took off my full body armor.
Even if it was a full body armor that looked like magic was used, the material it was made of was something similar to iron.
And iron…
“It is very cold.”
The moment I felt the cold inside the armor, I realized it and immediately took it off.
“I’d rather take it off.”
I cleared the area covered with snow once.
Being able to walk meant that there was land.
Clearing the knee-deep snow, the ground was exposed.
“Is it the ground…?”
Rather than being the ground, it seemed that the snow that had passed time had flattened and frozen.
“First of all, it is a home!”
There was enough material to build a house.
It was the material that was widely spread around.
right eye.
I made a house out of snow.
“It’s pretty good.”
I was able to make a house to avoid the snowstorm, and my nervous mind calmed down.
“But it’s a fairly easy ordeal.”
He wouldn’t feel hungry during the ordeal, so he would just have to endure here.
“Still, it wouldn’t be easy to stay here for a week without doing anything.”
It was fine though.
It’s because I overcame an ordeal that felt harder than this.
“But it’s a little strange…”
The tension was relieved, so I had to urinate.
It was impossible to press into the place where the breathing hole was pierced.
“It can’t be helped.”
I demolished one side of the house and went out to take care of my errands.
As I was processing it, I felt my whole body stiffen.
“wait for a sec···.”
In the ordeal, he had never felt hunger or regret until now.
“no way?”
Suddenly, a loud noise rang in my stomach.
rumble.
The stomach was begging for food and beating.
“Does this mean we have to even procure food in a place like this!”
I immediately felt that this ordeal would not go easily.
***
Upon arriving at the royal family, the first person Epinia called was Patrick, Suhar’s disciple.
Fortunately, Patrick had even found a house in the capital, probably thinking of settling in the capital of the Mycenae Empire.
At Ephinia’s sudden call, Patrick entered the imperial family.
“Did you call!”
Patrick with his head down on his knees. The Messiah stood beside him.
Haru, who was next to Ephinia, checked Patrick and rushed at him.
“Wow!”
“uh? Harya! Princess, why is Haru here…”
Patrick, who had been raising his head, hurriedly lowered his head.
“Oh, you can just get up.”
Patrick raised his head.
“Princess, why is Har here? Then why did you call me…”
Epinia nodded lightly.
“yes that’s right. Har, please. I thought I might take it for a while, but… I guess…”
It was Ephinia who smiled as if she was troubled.
Patrick nodded, as if understanding.
“No matter how calm and cute Haru is, he’s a monster. I guess you can’t raise monsters inside the imperial family.”
Epinia sighed and nodded.
“that’s right. ha···.”
Patrick hesitated before speaking.
“Then come and see Har once in a while! Haar will like it too.”
Patrick met Har’s eyes as if asking for consent.
However, it was Har who showed no reaction.
Embarrassed, Patrick cleared his throat and cleared his throat.
Ephinia smiled at that appearance.
“hahahaha, it’s okay. I don’t like going to Patrick’s house because it seems like it’s interfering with the sweet time with Messiah.”
It was the Messiah who lowered his head and blushed at Ephinia’s words.
Patrick laughs shyly.
“By the way, the fact that Harga belongs to the princess… have you met my master?”
“Yes… but he left without a word… leaving only Har with me…”
Ephinia’s expression suddenly darkened.
Patrick hurriedly turned.
“Ah, my teacher is usually a newcomer. I’m sure he didn’t run away because he didn’t like the princess!”
“Could it be that Patrick left Suhar because he didn’t like me?”
Patrick fell flat on his face at Ephinia’s furious look.
“no! I don’t mean that!”
“Ha ha, just kidding. by the way···.”
Epinia remembered Suhar.
“Didn’t Patrick hear when Suhar will come back?”
“yes.”
It was Ephinia that he regretted.
***
I was feeling death here.
Insane hunger and piercing cold.
“You’re going crazy!”
Lately, there have been times when I laughed for no reason.
He seems to be going mad from hunger and cold.
“There are still four days left…”
For three days I hadn’t eaten anything.
Even if he wanted to hunt to fill his stomach, the problem was that there were no prey.
“I can’t go on like this…”
If the cold and hunger come one by one, you can endure it.
But both are dangerous at the same time.
I can’t stop the cold, but I can stop hunger by looking for prey.
“It’s unreasonable to stay in one place any longer.”
From nob le mt l. co m
No matter what, it was necessary to move forward.
It’s easy to make a house to block a blizzard, so you have to move first.
“As much as it’s an ordeal, I won’t let you die.”
It must mean that there are prey to hunt as much as the hunger is felt.
***
Another two days passed.
For the past two days, they had not been able to find their prey, so they were unable to appease their hunger.
But finally something that could be called prey came out.
“Kiyo clothes!”
A slightly creepy cry.
But his appearance was the exact opposite.
A huge blue bird. It looked like a phoenix from mythology.
“No, the phoenix is a burning bird. Is that diarrhea? Bingsajo?”
The name doesn’t matter anyway.
First you have to hunt it down.
There was one fortunate thing.
“You want to eat me too!”
That blue bird was also fighting me.
Therefore, the worry of the prey running away could be ruled out.
“Come on, come down!”
I waited for the airborne bird to attack me.
However, a blue bird that does not think of coming down even after time passes.
I was furious.
“Is it possible?”
With food in front of my eyes, my patience was gone.
I didn’t want to wait any longer.
“You have to believe it to be worth it.”
If the opponent doesn’t intend to attack, I should attack first.
I used my telekinesis to pull the blue bird down.
I felt quite a repulsive force, but the blue bird slowly descended.
“Not yet. Do not resist, come quickly!”
It was still out of range.
He continued to pull the blue bird down with all his might.
And it was the moment when the distance was narrowed to some extent.
“just now!”
He jumped up at the blue bird and slashed its neck with his sword.
The blue bird’s neck was severed at once because it was quite forceful.
The decapitated body fell to the floor with a loud noise.
“Fuuu delicious.”
When I looked at the cut cross section of the blue bird, the meat looked good.
“Because freshly caught meat is delicious even eaten raw!”
There was no way to start a fire here in the first place, so I ate the white flesh of the blue bird after cutting it lightly with a sword.
“Ohhhhh…!”
Some of the blue birds were cool.
But along with the coldness, I felt the sweetness.
The texture of the meat itself was firm.
“I can survive with this!”
There was enough meat for the size of the blue bird.
After collecting meat for the next two days, I built a house near it.
Inside the house, I lay down chewing the flesh of a blue bird.
“I just want to stay inside for the remaining two days.”
Maybe I was used to the cold, so I didn’t feel that cold anymore.
