29 – In a war that never goes away
“-Boss, are you sure you’ll be okay?”
“Didn’t you guys stop me last time?”
“That was then, and now it’s an emergency. “If I keep going like this, I might actually die.”
Hyunwoo paused for a moment, but then took a step forward. Sang-hoon asked him, but he shook his head with a bitter smile.
“But we can’t just back down like this.”
“Yes, but-“
“I’m not asking you to run away like this and say that I’m actually the villain you hate so much. “What are you asking me to do?”
The Serpent encountered the Snow Maiden. The villain he hated so much clashes with the hero he desperately hopes will survive. It is true that I wanted to rush over as soon as I heard about the current situation, but it is realistically difficult to do so.
He is a villain. He is also the head of the villain organization Repentance, which has recently been making a name for itself. If you step out there, it is no different from making the appearance of an unidentified villain known to the public.
“Maybe it would have been better if the plan had been revised according to my initial opinion. The plan is already in motion, and if I leave, it could be dangerous for us. We’ve already come too far to scrap the plan and move on. “You’re not saying we should just abandon the kids who are continuing with their current plan, right?”
Furthermore, it’s not that they have nothing to do, but they have to deal with guys who are as dangerous as Weather, who they just encountered, so how can they get away with it? Their purpose should not be forgotten.
The basement of the Changlier Hotel, the secret laboratory of the evil brigade connected from there. If there isn’t enough manpower to attack that place, heroes and villains alike, Repentance will end right away.
“…I just have to believe it.”
Hyeonwoo believes. He just had to believe.
“Because Jihyun is not the kind of girl who will be easily defeated there.”
Choi Ji-hyeon, Hero Snow Girl is the protagonist’s colleague and one of the main characters who appears as a heroine.
“We will overcome. No, you have to get over it.”
I believe that there is no way I will break down easily and that I will be able to overcome it.
Of course, she was his childhood friend, but she was also a hero who reached her peak age at a young age and performed outstandingly among the ‘golden generation’.

-At first it was just a small ice crystal.
It was small enough to hold with both hands, but it was covered in pure ice crystals, as beautiful as crystal.
This is not enough. Gritting my teeth, I gather myself and try to embody the image in my head.
What she needs is a way to overcome this situation and the key to victory that can freeze the abominable villain in front of her.
She continues to push her abilities to their limits. The sub-zero temperature, which freezes even raindrops, is slowly lowering her body temperature, but she grits her teeth and holds on.
I feel dizzy and my body loses strength, but it doesn’t matter. It is foolish to think of completely overcoming the current situation. All you can do is focus all your attention on your abilities and try not to forget the images that come to your mind.
The Serpent’s abilities continued to pound her ice wall, and now even the last remaining bastion was disappearing – the ice crystals that covered her hands began to gradually increase in size.
“…Ha?”
The Serpent looks at the scene, stops her bombardment, opens her eyes wide, and flies behind her. But by the time she noticed her and tried to respond, her ice crystal, which was already so small, was nowhere to be found-
“Ice palace.”
When Jihyeon finally woke up, the center of the city where they were fighting had already turned into a huge palace.
“Hmm… Is this a new technology?”
The Serpent asked as she looked down at the floor of the palace, where the stone she was stepping on was freezing as if it were holding onto her ankles and stretching her, but she received no answer.
As she sighs, her breath exhales. It almost feels like the whole world is frozen. It is not a technique that can be used by a baby that has just reached full bloom.
I was wary of him in the past because of his excellent use of abilities and his level of power, but is he a hero who stands out even among the golden generation?
“Hero Snow Maiden, Ice Princess-“
Ice Princess. It is a nickname given to her by her friends due to her blunt face without any change in expression, and it is also a nickname given to Snow Woman in the public.
Just like that, with her pure white ice crown on her head, she-
“What about a princess? “I would believe it if you said he was the emperor.”
Still glaring at the Serpent with a cold, determined expression, she simply stretched out her hands forward.
“Oh my.”
The palace suddenly begins to shake. As the Serpent clicked her tongue and threw her body to the side, her floor and ceiling moved at the same time, trapping her in the same place she had just been.
A serpent clicking his tongue. She immediately made a gesture with her hand, and the monsters let out a roar and started running towards Jihyeon at high speed, but-
“Prison.”
Just like before, the palace itself moved and trapped the monsters, and those who tried to break through the wall with force from inside gradually hardened and immediately froze and stopped moving.
“hahahaha. hahahahaha!”
The Serpent laughed maniacally, seeing the scene in her eyes.
Did she think of herself as a hunter who surrounded her with her countless monsters and pierced her to death? Rather, she found herself in the opposite position this time.
“Uhm… What happens now?”
From Noble mtl dot com
Serpent scratches her head as she realizes that her own body is gradually freezing.
It is true that this huge palace is dangerous, but what is even more dangerous than this place is the surrounding temperature. If you are distracted by this sight and let your guard down, you will freeze and end up in the same situation as those monsters.
Actually, I could run away if I wanted to. This is a space she created. If I could escape, I could somehow plan the future, and no matter how hard I tried to trap myself, I had the confidence to break everything and escape.
“I don’t want to fight on a battlefield where the enemy has the advantage – but wouldn’t it be a bit much to back down in vain?”
However, if that happens, it won’t be easy to kill Jihyeon here. It’s like this right now, but wouldn’t it become even more annoying if we meet her later when she grows up? She had grown so much that even now, I couldn’t tell how far she could grow if I gave her more time.
You must die here. As revenge for the fact that he captured her, he attacked her lightly, instantly changing her mindset, and the corners of her mouth, which had been smiling, gradually lowered, turning into an expressionless expression.
“-Your body is starting to tremble. “It’s not because of fear, is it?”
Analyze your opponent and find their weaknesses. It makes no sense to lower the temperature to such a low temperature if there is no risk. It is possible to know to a certain extent when a person has reached full bloom, but at that level, he or she will not be able to manipulate this almost magical technique at will.
“Is it hypothermia? “It looks like you’re affected too.”
If I continued like this while avoiding her attacks, I could have committed suicide, but my immediate goal was to kill the enemy. Her body is gradually becoming weaker, so holding on is no different from gambling, and more than anything, if time passes, her reinforcements will come from there. It was clear that Ji-hyun was aiming for that too, so the decision to take her time was to shake hands.
Then the choice is – a quick decision. Anyway, this side has the greatest power. There was no point in fighting at a distance anymore.
“-Booster.”
The serpent disappeared in an instant, and Ji-hyeon looked around in confusion.
No matter how much you look around, you cannot see the enemy. She narrows her eyes and focuses her mind, and soon begins to search for the location of the being moving within.
As a split second passed, she finally found her location – the feeling of her presence behind her sent goosebumps all over her body.
Chaaa!
“Oh my-“
Something passing over her head. Jihyeon instinctively lowered her head to avoid it, and she was astonished.
It’s so fast. In the past, she thought she was just lacking in skills, but now she has been training for two years and has experience dealing with many villains.
“You look embarrassed, right?”
If she were to fight again, she thought it would be different this time. She thought she would be able to react at a speed she had never been able to before. But-
“It exploded so slowly!”
“Wow-“
I realized that it was her misjudgment.
It disappears in an instant and pops up in an unexpected place. Swinging her fists or kicking with her feet, her lasers wrapped around her body as if they were skin, all she could do was dodge attacks.
If things continue like this, they will be punished. Ji-hyeon continued to dodge the attacks that narrowly passed her by, and she threw her body behind her, and she stretched out her hands towards the ground –
“Ice Bug!”
She built an ice wall to buy some time, but-
Kwasik.
“…Oh?”
Ice walls that lightly break as if crushed tofu, and chunks of ice that break apart. And when she saw her Serpent with her fingertips stretched out between them, she realized her own mistake.
A swollen ball of light appears at the fingertips, as if it might burst at any moment. Ji-hyeon tightly closed her eyes as she sensed her own end, and Serpent sensed her victory through her reaction, but-
-Kwadeuk.
At that moment, there was a sudden loud noise and the palace split in half.
