Childhood Friend of the Zenith Chapter 625

[Episode 625] Authority.

‘What were you doing?’

This is the thought I had the moment I opened my eyes.

What have you been doing up until now?

‘Obviously…’

Let’s go into my heart and get rid of the hesitation.

How long did it take for you to close your eyes thinking that?

Somehow, I just let my head go blank and looked away.

It is an environment that has not changed that much from before I closed my eyes.

Ice crystals were still visible.

‘Palace.’

I looked around and saw the princess also looking at me.

Together.

‘what?’

Why are you making that face?

surprise and bewilderment.

She was a court lady with a cold and cold impression.

The expression he was making was really colorful.

Why are you making that face?

By the time you think about it

“Why are you crying?”

I had to tilt my head at the words of the princess.

Are you crying?

He raised his hand and touched his eyes.

‘uh?’

When I checked, tears were flowing.

What’s going on?

‘what.’

why am i crying

‘what is this.’

The sudden flow of tears made it difficult to grasp the situation.

Regardless of how long it has been since she shed tears.

I had to figure out why it was leaking.

Didn’t experience anything special…

‘Hmm?’

I’m trying to think about the previous situation.

Strangely, nothing came to mind.

‘Obviously…’

Right after going into image space and trying to kill my childhood self.

next.

Then…

‘What was it?’

I don’t remember.

There must have been something.

I couldn’t remember if I had painted a lot of ink in my memory.

‘It’s embarrassing.’

and it’s daunting

I frown and try hard to remember.

Something vaguely passes by.

A figure of someone holding a child.

That was the limit I could barely imagine.

‘I don’t know.’

what did you see What did you see and experience that made you feel so uncomfortable?

“Old Confucius? be all right.”

“Ah…”

At the words of the princess, she wiped away her tears first.

“…how much time has passed?”

“It’s only been a few seconds.”

“…hmm.”

seconds.

Is it just past that much?

‘It’s only been that time…’

I thought as I looked at my clenched fists.

‘The level has increased by this much…?’

He looked at his body with surprised eyes.

overflow.

The energy was so full that it overflowed.

The bowl surrounding it was even larger.

If the state right before

‘this…’ was much less than in the previous life.

now.

‘It’s well over half.’

I can’t say I’ve reached it completely. Almost close.

This can be said to be significantly different.

‘…under.’

Laughter comes out of nowhere.

How can you change so much just by throwing away your hesitation?

In other words.

‘Rather than what you get. what you originally had. It would be correct to say that.’

This was not a newly acquired power.

It’s the aura that was created in the body in the first place with a different rank.

It is correct to regard it as the power that was tied up in the body because it could not stabilize the image.

I vaguely knew.

‘I just didn’t know it would be this much.’

In my mind, I want to check how the current state is.

‘for now.’

I turned my head to check the ice crystals.

‘From this.’

the princess had said

If I make a choice, I will know for sure.

‘Hmm…’

I remembered that and looked at the ice crystal.

I realized that the princess was half right and half wrong.

why i came here

I still didn’t know that.

At least.

‘I know what this is.’

The identity of the ice crystal in front.

It seemed like he knew that much.

Reached out.

Swoop.

Place your palm on the surface of the ice crystal.

Ugh ugh—!!!

The ice crystals start to vibrate like crazy.

“…!”

Seeing this, the princess behind her trembled in shock.

ignored

It seems focused.

Ice crystals that looked like just round blocks of ice.

It looked different now.

I focused on the arrogant senses felt through my fingertips.

After touching the ice crystals here and there for a while.

“hmm.”

pop.

I wiped the cold sweat with the back of my hand.

Is it because it’s hot and sweaty?

It can’t be.

How cold is this space?

This sweat was simply the sweat shed because of the energy she felt inside the ice crystal.

I see what I couldn’t see

I feel something I didn’t feel.

As the princess said, now I can see and feel more than before.

‘…They said it was an egg.’

This is what the princess said. Ice crystals are eggs.

An egg that harbors something terribly frightening.

‘I don’t know if it’s the heart.’

It seemed like he knew there was something huge in it.

even.

Even the fact that it wasn’t long before the being hatched.

It’s absurd that North Sea still has such a crazy thing.

“…”

Shall we give strength to the body while looking at the ice crystals? I was so worried.

give strength

What does that mean?

Even if it was a sudden thought, my body already knew it.

right after you open your eyes.

As the realm changed rapidly, the body and energy changed.

Although this is an unbelievable change.

There was a bigger change than that.

I knew it instinctively.

It means that I have power that I didn’t have.

‘Exactly.’

A forgotten power. this aside.

After barely realizing it, I could understand what the dark king had said.

The power you get when you become a dragon.

It is different from martial arts that become stronger through training.

ability that one is born with.

warrant.

how to write it

Does this really have power? what is the principle

Such an explanation is not necessary in the first place.

The body already knew the answer.

Rather, it’s amazing how I didn’t know until now.

It was so natural to the body.

It was as if he had it from the start.

‘Maybe?’

I thought for a moment about using it on ice crystals.

After thinking about it for a while,

Seruk.

I retrieved my hand that was on the ice crystal.

The reason is not different.

“The order is wrong.”

Because ‘this’ wasn’t the first.

I checked the palm that was touching the ice crystal.

I had been touching the ice cube for a long time, but there was not even a drop of water on it.

“Palace.”

I turned my gaze and looked at the princess and asked.

“That’s why you see this as a heart.”

conversation I had before.

The moment I wanted to continue talking about the intrusive story.

“ah.”

I stopped what I was saying for a moment and remembered it.

“This is also out of order.”

“…what?”

“Once I go, I will come and listen. That would be first.”

“Old Confucius? What does that mean all of a sudden?”

As if the princess didn’t understand, she tried to call me to stop me.

I turned around and walked towards the exit.

I didn’t even have to hold the doorknob.

As I approached, the door moved by itself, just like before.

“…Where are you going?”

Looking at that, the princess asked, so she slightly turned her head and said to him.

“It’s nothing. It reminded me of something I learned.”

yes what i learned

It’s something I’ve definitely learned lately.

-You know?

-We never take away what we own.

A voice lingers in my head.

I wonder how come this word comes to mind now.

‘It’s different, it’s not what comes to mind now.’

It’s more like I forgot what I should have remembered in the first place.

That’s why I’m thinking about it even now.

‘That’s right.’

never lose one’s own

It is an arrogant and strong possessive word.

And it was very true.

‘I can’t take it away.’

If I thought it was mine, I shouldn’t have it stolen.

Those words run through my body.

This is something I wouldn’t have done if it were me.

Hesitating repeatedly, he must have tried to see the plan and justification.

I decided not to do that now.

There is only one thought that comes to mind right now.

if it was stolen

“I have to bring it back.”

It was just a simple reasoning.

The princess slightly frowned as if she didn’t understand my words at all.

I just looked away again.

“It won’t take long.”

“new year-.”

Before the king’s words were finished.

I grabbed the door I had already entered and opened it.

Kiki-Ik-!

When you open the door and come out, you run into someone waiting for you.

It was a black lion.

Seeing me open the door and come out, the black lion frowns.

looked at him and said

“I saw everything and came out.”

As I waved my hands roughly and said, the black lion spoke to me.

“Isn’t it possible that you have offended the princess again?”

Is it because of the friction? The attitude of the black lion felt much sharper.

I listened to it and responded.

“I don’t think I did anything in particular. Did you?”

I don’t know.

I just said it because I can’t remember.

fast.

Perhaps thinking I was kidding, the black lion spewed speculation.

“…If you’re going to keep showing that attitude, you’ll have to see blood.”

I don’t know if I touched the yoke slightly or if I was trying to hold it in and explode.

As if really angry, the black lion blocks my way.

He looked at it and smiled.

“I didn’t mean to make fun of you. I really don’t know. I’m sorry if I offended you.”

After smiling and apologizing, he tried to walk away.

“To play with like that again!”

Because the black lion is trying to grab my shoulder.

“If you touch me.”

I smiled and told him.

“Die?”

Startle-!

At the words he spat out, the black lion frightened and stopped his hand.

My eyes stared at the black lion that had hardened.

I can see the black lion’s eyes shaking.

There was no more conversation.

Just when you’re still looking at each other.

Shuk.

The Black Lion retrieved his hand first.

And then.

“…something has changed.”

The Black Lion speaks to me in a trembling voice.

have you changed?

He listened and nodded his head.

I don’t think it just means the realm.

I haven’t felt it yet.

If you say you threw something away

I was still me

but.

“Maybe.”

We don’t know yet.

I answered and smiled.

“see you later. I have something to do now.”

Leaving the still hardened black lion, he gave strength to his steps.

What would you have done if you were here?

Did you head to the place where the party was?

I don’t know if it was.

However, there are things that need to be done first.

At least that’s how it is for me now.

Avert your gaze.

I was already out of hiding.

It’s been like that since the beginning, but it wasn’t too difficult to get out of the cave this time.

I looked up at the sky.

shoot-!

It was still snowing outside.

Looking into those eyes, I remember.

“hmm.”

It’s still a bad land.

The ground you are stepping on. You can feel the air too.

even the falling snow.

everything felt bad

I didn’t know at first, but now I know.

The reason this land feels so bad isn’t because there are other dragons on it.

That’s why.

‘Because it’s a land ruled by someone else.’

Not simply because the dragon is on the ground.

Because he rules this land.

So it feels dirty.

Feelings that were dimly felt from the beginning are now felt clearly.

‘That’s why I feel bad.’

Because it’s someone else’s land.

It’s just so annoying for that reason alone.

What an arrogant and greedy tribe.

or not.

‘Maybe I’m particularly greedy.’

I remembered and smiled.

Hello, maybe it is.

“Is that so?”

He said it when he remembered that it was an authority.

Because I’m extraordinarily greedy and arrogant.

That’s why I wondered if he had ‘this’ power.

fillet.

untied his hands

“How about anything.”

Let’s think simple. That would be better than hesitating.

‘For now.’

get back what was lost

I wanted to prioritize that one.

I turned my eyes and looked straight ahead.

I can’t see it

I felt something I hadn’t felt.

Hwareuk.

flames wrapped around the body.

and took a step

OK.

Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

light explodes

Shoot aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!

The snow that fell from the sky turned into rain.

******************

North Sea Ice Palace.

It was a space where the blood relatives of the Ice Palace stayed, and it was a castle that was known as the center of the North Sea and boasted prestige.

The present form is relatively outdated.

In the aftermath of the rebellion, the buildings were all over the place.

It looked even more messy because the debris that had become a mess hadn’t been cleaned up.

the inner section of the castle.

At the entrance to the main palace, a man patrolling the surroundings spoke up.

“I don’t know what you are thinking.”

The man next to him was startled.

“Be careful with your words. What if someone hears it?”

“It is not so.”

The man continues to speak with a dissatisfied expression.

“I heard that he knows where the princess is hiding. I don’t know why you’re just waiting here.”

It is a part that has already been figured out where the fugitive and his forces are hiding.

Even at the point where they had already succeeded in taking the palace.

In fact, it was a war that could be ended if you put your mind to it.

But why is there no further progress?

That’s just a question for the man.

“You must mean everything. Isn’t it enough to follow us?”

“I’m not saying that if you fail like this, you’re all going to die.”

“Do you think the war will fail here as it is no different than already won?”

The king, who reigned as the absolute ruler of the North Sea, was defeated and fled.

Even if the five generals joined together, the strong one who did not budge was the Ice Palace Master.

All the warriors saw him fleeing after being defeated by the sword of non-foreign troops.

“Even more so, he even enlisted his blood relatives. It’s like a victory.”

Hearing

“…Hmm…”, I still have doubts.

“Do you really think that the princess used magic to sacrifice people?”

cause of the war.

It was said that the princess was killing people to satisfy her greed.

At the words of the man, the other sighed.

“Isn’t that what you said about the evidence already found?”

Traces were found in the palace’s basement and in the palace’s room.

How can you not believe it when you see it?

“The princess has fallen. He is no longer the person we used to know.”

The blood relatives have lived sacrificing for the North Sea until now.

Because of them, humans can survive in the North Sea at least.

The princess who couldn’t handle this was corrupted.

“…It’s a shame that the princess, shocked to see this, raised our hands. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to start a war.”

“…”

The man only made a very confused expression. a few days ago. One of the blood relatives who were held in the palace by a supporter of non-foreign forces.

Neither the first person nor the second person.

It is revealed that she is a Japanese princess and the noise has passed.

It was confirmed that blood relatives were supporting non-foreign forces, but there was still one thing I couldn’t understand.

‘indeed.’

indeed.

Is it really so?

With all the evidence already out, he succeeded in treason.

I don’t think it’s a story to bite more.

It was just unbelievable.

The man looked up at the sky.

The sky where the snow continues to fall.

A never-ending cold. Even though it is called a cold and cursed land.

I heard that the one who saved me from being swept away by the cold was the royal family, among them.

For what reason and in what connection they are protecting us from the severe cold, a man at the bottom would not know in detail.

It was hard to believe that the princess did that for the sake of eternal life.

‘I’d rather not for my own eternal life.’

To erase this bitter cold.

If I said I did it for that reason, I don’t know if I would have believed it.

When I look up at the sky while thinking about that.

pop.

“…uh?”

The man who had been looking at the sky silently spit out a single word.

“hmm? Why but?”

“…this.”

The man stretches out his hand with the palm facing the sky.

“These eyes…”

Looking at that, the other person had to tilt their head.

Isn’t it snowing all the time?

So reach out. Then.

“…It’s not snow, it’s rain, isn’t it?”

“what?”

At the man’s words, he also hurriedly looked up at the sky.

That moment.

Pop-!

Water droplets fell on the man’s cheeks.

“What is this…?”

The moment of embarrassment at the cold touch.

Pop-! Duduk-!

The drops that began to fall one by one in the gaps in the falling snow.

Dudududuk-!

It quickly grew in scope and started pouring in quickly.

be empty.

It was definitely raining.

It rains all year round in the North Sea, where only snow falls due to the severe cold.

What this means is that it was never light.

“What the hell happened to this-!”

The moment I was about to shout with a surprised expression.

Hwareuk-!

Short sparks flew beside him.

When the man moved his gaze to a strange sensation, someone was standing where the flames appeared.

The ink-colored coating fluttered in the wind.

Shootah ah ….

The rain falling down is being combed only the prophet.

It is a mysterious sight.

So it was.

This is the reason why I watched him as if I was possessed rather than taking a guard.

As the two stare blankly at him, the one who appears raises his head and looks at them.

is a young man

Age is about to be a little over the contract.

But it is by no means ordinary.

With torn blue pupils that are hard to see as human beings.

Seeing the expressionless expression he was making, the man felt himself shrinking involuntarily.

towards such a man.

“I’m just saying this because we met.”

The character clears his expression and smiles slightly as he speaks.

“Can you tell the captain here?”

My body trembles at the young man’s smile.

It was the first time in my life that I had such a scary smile.

“I came to get what I stole.”
