It seems that about an hour has passed since I wandered through the snowstorm. At this level, it should be possible to see it soon, but I have not been able to find the nose of the temple yet.
“Patience. Where are you?”
The snowstorm was so strong that I couldn’t see very well.
Snow is everywhere, and there are no maps. The sense of direction has long since gone away.
‘I wish I had a compass.’
It was all about just going straight ahead.
There was no other way.

Let’s keep walking.

“Because the Earth is round.”
But when I thought about it, what the hell happened to this place to cause such a serious climate change?
Terrible heat on one side.
On the other hand, a terrible chill.
Isn’t it like watching Hell of Superheat and Hell of Cold Ice?
At this point, I wondered what the hell the source was.
I looked at Asmodeus in my arms and asked.
“Aren’t you sleeping?”
“Don’t bother me.”
“But you are drunk. And that body is a doll. Do you feel the cold?”
“Of course. All senses have been directly implemented for the vivid human life of this body.”
I looked at her suspiciously. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.
Among the Demon Gods, the highest level Demon God feels the cold at the mere blizzard? Even she was borrowing a doll’s body.
Doesn’t it make sense that a doll feels the cold!
It must be because it’s just annoying to walk on your feet.
“It is disrespectful. disrespectful.”
“what’s the matter. you’re our colleague I have nothing to do, but let me ask you something. What the hell is that human called Shion Sieghart? Are you human in the first place?”
She said, digging deeper into my arms.
“Human. However, it was quite strong for a human. That’s why I was able to overcome demonic nature and gain divine status. Mentally and physically, he was very different from the humans I’ve seen so far.”
“… what about the face? Does it look like my face now?”
Asmodeus raised his head and stared into my face.
“Shion is 100 times more handsome.”
“no. I’m not asking who is more handsome. After all, this appearance was created with authority. What I want to ask is, how can the appearance that I set according to my taste be similar to Shion Sieghard? If you think about it, yes. Claiming to be a member of the Sieghart family and obtaining his spear fit so tightly, as if someone had planned it all.”
“Why are you asking me that? I do not know either. There are many unknown things in this world. If I knew all of them, wouldn’t I have been called a demon of wisdom and knowledge instead of a demon of lust and rage?”
“… That, it is.”
“Your skills have improved quite a bit compared to before, but compared to Shion Sieghart, you’re not even as good as an ant. And above all, I think too much when fighting. We must always be aware that many thoughts are rather poisonous.”
“okay. But was Shion Sieghart that strong?”
“He was one of the transcendental beings that you humans talk about. His spearmanship was such that even Barbatos, who was crazy about fighting, could admit it. At that level, he could catch the evil dragon single-handedly. Dragons aren’t that easy. In particular, since Fafnir had lived for quite a long time, he was so powerful that other dragons were incomparable. Even so, it’s not even a fist away from this body.”
I thought it was cute to see her boasting and chattering with her doll’s body.
And I unknowingly spit it out of my mouth.
“The little ones are cute.”
Asmodeus’s eyebrows rose. Even the appearance was cute because it was sloppy because it was sewn by a child.
“How dare you say that you are my contractor! To this demonic body! Are you saying it’s cute? disrespectful Disrespectful!”
puck. puck.
He slapped my chest with his small hand.
Suddenly, I wondered what her body would look like. Does it have a shape you can’t even imagine?
Since she was a demon in the first place, she might not have a fixed form. For them, the appearance is just like clothes in terms of human beings.
“Are you curious?”
“little?”
“Arthur. If you, who didn’t even get Remegeton, see my true self, you’ll probably go insane.”
“Is that enough… … .”
I chatted with Asmodeus for a while.
The conversations weren’t very important, but it was fun to be able to talk without filtering for the first time in a while.
“found… .”
Finally, the entrance to the huge temple appeared. To be precise, the entrance to the cave was decorated like a temple. Feeling the cold from the inside, this is probably where the source of the disaster is located.
I entered the cave with the fire spirit at the fore. Previously, it had grown in size by swallowing a lot of flames, but it returned to its original size, probably because it was continuously exposed to the cold.
In proportion to its size, its strength seemed to have weakened considerably.
On the other hand, the ice spirit ran around the cave like a fish out of water. Certainly, the deeper I went, the stronger the chill.
It feels like your lungs are ripping apart with every breath you take. This is because the ice spirit that has grown in size is absorbing cold energy from those around it.
It was incomparable to the snowstorm. Still, I persevered and moved forward. My mouth was frozen, so words couldn’t come out.
“ah… S… what… Deus… … .”
“Why is that?”
“age… russia… all frozen… oh dying… you… hey?”
“When I die, I will take you to Gehenna.”
I hate that.
want to go home.
The cave was not as wide as I thought. However, the chill was so intense that he couldn’t move quickly.
Eventually, the end began to appear.
“I… case… ?”
A blue gem located at the end of the cave. It was only the size of my head. Apparently, that jewel seemed to be the source of this sickening chill.
I could see it with my own eyes, but I couldn’t dare to approach it. The fire spirit was blocking my way with all its might, but it was noticeably smaller.
Asmodeus saw it and said.
From noble mtl dot com
“It seems to be the heart of Bingryong. Judging by the cold feeling, it seems to be an ancient dragon that has lived for quite a long time. With something like that here, it is only natural that the surrounding area freezes over.”
It’s the heart of Bingryong, and if I stayed like this, I would freeze to death.
I knew the identity of the disaster, but there was nothing I could do about it.
“Didn’t you mean that the Demon God who was sealed here was able to suppress that? Where the hell is that drink?”
“If my predictions are correct… … .”
The doll’s finger pointed down.
“This floor… ?”
She shook her head.
“All under this floor.”
“… … Eh?”
at that time.
The ice spirit strode toward Bingryong’s heart.
“hey! for a moment… … .”
Before I could finish my words, he opened his mouth wide and swallowed my heart in one breath.
gulp.
Apart from how he swallowed a heart bigger than himself with that small body.
The anxiety about whether it was really okay to swallow the source of the chill that would change the climate of the surrounding area was even greater.
I wonder if that’s why I’m getting an upset stomach. So what will happen… ?
While useless questions passed through his head, flowers made of frost began to bloom from the body of the ice spirit. It was a very beautiful sight, but even after time passed, the spirit remained motionless.
It was like looking at a statue made of ice.
“… … Gwa, are you okay?”
I asked cautiously, but of course there was no way I would get an answer… … .
“are you okay.”
… huh?
A girl with blue hair appeared in front of her.
I rubbed my eyes and looked ahead once more.
A girl with blue hair was looking at me.
I rubbed my eyes again.
The girl was still looking at me.
For sure… . What was there just now was a small ice spirit, but now in front of me was a young girl with blue hair.
I stared blankly at the girl, then turned to Asmodeus.
“Asmodeus… . What I’m seeing right now is correct… ?”
“To make a fuss over something insignificant. It’s embarrassing, so don’t go anywhere and tell me you’re my contractor.”
“This is nothing… ? The spirit became a girl right in front of my eyes… ?”
Asmodeus looked at the girl and asked.
“Are you Renef’s son?”
The girl nodded wordlessly. It was a completely different attitude from how he treated me.
Asmodeus said.
“That is the lineage of Renef, the water spirit king. It’s not the lowest level spirit you thought it was.”
“… Spirit King? No matter how you look at it, he was the lowest level spirit?”
“The lineages of the spirit kings have the same form as the lowest level spirits since they were born. It’s about growing up, establishing one’s ego, and fighting for the throne. That guy had just eaten Bingryong’s heart and had grown to the next level. If it hadn’t endured, it would have perished. Among them, there are spirits that take on human-like forms. nothing to be so curious about The Spirit King’s lineage is much more widespread than you think.”
“Then the fire spirit… … ?”
“I guess so.”
The fire spirit patted my shoulder as if it wanted to be like that, and its eyes lit up.
‘They’re all the children of the Spirit King… ?’
I don’t know, but there seemed to be more children of the King of Spirits than I thought. Growing up and fighting for the throne, I thought that the world of the spirits was also quite tight.
‘Then what will happen to the spirits who were pushed out of the fight for the throne… ?’
“Become a member of the King of Spirits or return to nature.”
It was colder than I imagined.
Something didn’t match the image of the spirit I was thinking of.
Anyway, one of the disasters was solved, and the ice spirit evolved into a new form, so this wasn’t bad.
The girl’s blue eyes turned to me. It was clear and pure like looking at a lake.
“Please give me a name.”
“I? are you okay?”
The girl with a soft smile nodded.
“hmm… … . Renee. how is it?”
“Rene… … . I like it.”
As the girl gestured towards me, an ice boat floated up and soon settled on the back of my hand. The stigma of the ice pattern was engraved on the back of his hand.
“It is the proof of the contract. He must have liked you.”
When I looked at Renee, she smiled broadly and nodded.
“… thank you. Rene.”
Could it be because of the contract? Strangely, I didn’t feel the cold anymore. I felt confident that I could use ice magic right away if I put my mind to it.
‘What kind of rice cake is this!’
It seemed like it would fly away at an unexpected harvest.
‘You mean that fireball will evolve like René if you feed it something?’
On the way back, there was a reason to listen to the field that became a sea of fire again.
“It’s good that this sickening chill has been resolved… … . Is Lemegeton not here… … ?”
It’s nice to have new powers, but the reason I came here was because of Remegeton.
If you can’t find the most important remegeton, it’s a joke.
“Should I go to the opposite temple… … .”
It was then.
The floor I was standing on shook like crazy, as if there was an earthquake. I put my hand on the wall to keep my balance.
“What, what!”
But the tremors showed no signs of stopping. A moment of foreboding. The floor, which had stopped shaking, began to wriggle, then opened its mouth and swallowed me.
gulp.
I fell into the abyss
