Episode 290
Let’s clear up the situation.
The place we traveled to, the ice cave, was inside the body of the frost giant Ymir… … .
For some reason, the giant’s heart, which should have rotted away a long time ago, or at least stopped, was beating like a freshly caught live fish.
And that too with a terrible stench and a musical instrument.
What on earth is their real purpose?
It may not simply be an offering.
So, it’s the worst possibility that I don’t want to imagine, but if their goal is to revive the dead Ymir… … .
‘… … .’
There is no time to think deeply.
Anyway, I am unfamiliar with the fields of black magic and necromancy, so I decided to think about what I could do now.
It was about five hours later that we decided to regroup with the rest of the group.
It took about two hours to get here, so even considering the return time, there is still an hour left.
‘one hour.’
Normally, I would have had enough time to look around somewhere else or gather my thoughts, but not now.
One hour here is ten hours.
In fact, if you are given ten hours of free time, there are endless things you can do.
I repeatedly crossed out several possibilities in my head, and then realized that there was only one conclusion that could be most helpful to me in the current situation.
“… senior.”
“yes.”
“Let’s get rid of the priests here.”
“yes?”
“There are many church members around, but each person is absorbed in his or her own work. The priest also appears to be concentrating on the ritual… Above all, there is no sign of the corps commander.”
Actually, the last one is the most important.
The only conclusion I can come to is that if I fight against that eyeball guy, even as I am now, I will die. This means that he is an opponent to avoid, not fight.
But Ramon shook his head as if it were absurd.
“No. “It’s so reckless.”
“okay. Of course I would have to risk my life.”
“… … .”
“I don’t know? The opponent is a priest. “If we just kill that guy, the ceremony of the Demon Lord’s descent will definitely be overturned, but we can’t just miss this opportunity.”
Ramon hesitated slightly.
This man is probably thinking about it right now too.
The time allowed to us now, the time it takes to gather with the group and then return here again. Will the current situation be maintained until then?
There is no guarantee that the priest will be here forever, and even if there is, the corps commander may be guarding it.
If so, now that I can see the possibility of a surprise attack on my own, this may be an opportunity for a genius.
‘… Of course, it could be the other way around.’
This is a trap set by the church.
But unfortunately, it is difficult to determine whether it is an opportunity or a trap. There is no time to explore the surroundings or check the enemy’s movements.
Because time is running out.
If you judge, it is now, at this moment.
“Senior, please return this way.”
Of course, I agree with the opinion that it was reckless, so there was no need for Ramon to be caught up in this reckless operation.
But should I say it was as expected?
“You can’t do that.”
Ramon immediately refused.
“Do you think your senior will be helpful in this battle? “I have no interest in fighting with saboteurs.”
“… … .”
Even though he was being sarcastic as if he was intentionally scratching, Ramon’s expression didn’t change at all.
This goblin looked at me in a rather calm manner and spoke.
“The most important thing in times like this is understanding the situation. Of course, I can’t be confident that I won’t become a burden by fighting together. Still, you must watch the process of the young master defeating the priest. If you succeed, you say you succeeded, if you fail, you say you failed, or if you lose your life after you succeed, I have to report that to the rest of the group. “Because sharing the situation is the basic skill of a hero.”
“… hmm.”
After listening to it, it’s true, but it’s true.
It was difficult to shake the feeling that Ramon was somehow trying to force himself to remain in this position.
Of course, I was in a position where I was being forced, so I had nothing to say.
“… good. Then wait here and watch me, see the results of the raid, and then run away. Understand?”
“Of course I will.”
I straightened my back halfway.
This is to move the location to a more advantageous location for a surprise attack.
“young master.”
“uh?”
“Don’t die.”
“… of course.”
I have no intention of dying.
I will die someday, but not today.
There is still a lot of work to be done.
* * *
The place I was looking at as a surprise attack location was right above the priest’s office.
The ceiling was so high and the stalactites in the cave were intricately twisted, making it ideal for hiding.

The problem was how to get there, but due to the nature of these ice caves, the walls of the cave were slippery as if they had been coated with oil, so it was difficult to climb on them in the normal way.
Well, there is no ice in this place, and when I thought about it, it wasn’t even a cave, so I guess it’s a bit hard to call it an ice cave.
Anyway, I still had a way to safely get to the raid site.
‘Salpa.’
The moment I muttered lowly to myself, a breeze blew that only I could feel.
I flew quietly with the help of the wind spirit.
[radish… thing… woah… … .]
“… … .”
It exploded slowly, like a boiled turtle, but at this speed, it can fly even without [Crowtaker].
Getting closer to the priest inevitably meant getting closer to the heart, and I realized once again that this place was hotter than I thought.
I was shivering just a moment ago, and it felt like the temperature was going to paralyze me.
About 5 minutes later.
I got to where I wanted to be and was able to look down.
A place close to the priest.
A position where, if it falls in a straight line, it can immediately break the priest’s head.
Only then did I realize that this priest was a woman. Of course, gender doesn’t really matter.
What I really want to know is what kind of power that priest has.
“… … .”
I looked at a place quite far away, where Ramon was probably hiding.
Looking at it this way, the distance was further than I thought.
If I attack the priest, the place will turn into chaos from that moment on, so it won’t be difficult for Ramon to escape.
In general, yes.
‘There is too little information.’
Church members who were waiting elsewhere might flock in and bump into Ramon, or there might be some kind of black magic engraved in this entire cave.
How long can that goblin hero endure in such a situation?
‘hmm… … .’
It’s not the time to worry about others.
I squeezed my puffy eyes. I felt sleepy even when I was still, and I realized that my mental and muscular condition were not in good condition.
How long has it been since you entered the stone gate?
I think it’s about five or six hours, but if you convert this to the original time, it’s about 50 to 60 hours.
This is what happened after only staying up for two days… I definitely felt like my mental state had weakened a lot.
Or is the fatigue more severe because I spent most of my time in a tense state?
I erased all my random thoughts and looked down again.
First of all, there were church members wandering around the priest. He walked around the area in a certain pattern, as if on guard duty.
Even if the surprise attack is successful and the priest is killed, you must think about the future.
My plan is to smash the priest’s head in one go, then run away while avoiding the church members.
The maze-like structure of the ice cave is advantageous for escape, and even if pursued, there is no risk of being surrounded.
This means that even in the worst case scenario, you can constantly deal with enemies coming in a straight line.
Well, you can be attacked from both directions.
For the above reasons, I decided to target the time when the church members were furthest from the priest.
[Yeonja… … .]
But at this moment, Musin spoke.
I said to myself as I held the hilt of the Seven Deadly Sins Sword.
‘I’m sorry, Musin, but I’m in a very urgent situation right now, so can we talk later?’
[…] hmm? What are you talking about all of a sudden?]
Did this guy doze off?
‘You just called me, right? In a strangely sorrowful voice.’
[I was immersed in meditation.]
‘yes?’
When I asked back in a confused voice, the martial spirit appeared as a spirit.
It’s still white, but it has a much more human appearance than before.
It looks as if it has turned into a ghost.
Anyway, Musin looked around in that state and spoke in an absurd voice.
[Yeoja, where are we again? This terrible instrument… … . I’m sure you didn’t break your promise to me and set foot in hell again.]
‘That’s not it. ‘Now is not the time to talk leisurely.’
[Wait a minute, that couldn’t be… … .]
Can’t you hear me clearly?
I glared at Musin, who had a particularly strong tendency to choose his own pace today.
[Ymir?]
The spirit body of the God of War stared at Ymir’s heart.
[oh my god… … . Is this really Ymir’s body?]
‘That’s true, but how does God of War do that?’
It’s not like he was constantly looking at the situation.
I had been immersed in meditation the whole time, and as soon as I looked around this space, it was almost like I realized that I was inside Ymir’s body.
[Yeonja… Hey Yeonja… … .]
Then the mysterious voice was heard again.
When I heard it again, it was clear that it was not Mushin’s voice. It was a much thicker tone, and the voice, which was originally very strong, was now faint, as if it was breaking.
[how… When will it come… … . my… Yeonja… … .]
This voice… … .
[We have to get out of here right now!]
‘yes? What is that… … .’
[There is no time to explain! Right here-.]
It was that moment.
Exciting… … !
The sound of a heartbeat echoed throughout the cave. The intensity was so strong that it shook the ceiling of the cave and made dust fall into the water.
As I was hiding clinging to the ceiling, my heart sank.
“Oooh… … !”
“You brilliant golden evil spirit!”
shit. What’s happening all of a sudden?
As if the church members had suddenly turned around, they all knelt down with their hearts broken and started pounding their heads on the ground.
Maybe he was really crazy, but he didn’t care that his forehead was torn and blood was flowing freely.
thud… … ! thud… … !
The intervals of banging one’s head formed a strange harmony, and then changed into a certain rhythm.
Exciting… … !
Accordingly, the heartbeat becomes more intense.
I realized that the stalactite I was clinging to was shaking uneasily.
I don’t know what’s going on, but I can’t keep waiting anymore if it’s like this.
I immediately wrapped my entire body in energy.
Coo… … !
And the sound of my heartbeat and the sound of church members hitting their heads drowned out the sound of my feet stamping.
I fell down as if I was flying into the sky. My image falling with flames might look like a meteor wrapped in flames.
100 days 100 days 白日 style, 6th beginning ceremony 第六招式.
Falling flowers and fire.
Just before the gun exploded, the priest looked up at me.
A woman with gray hair who is laughing as if she is out of her mind.
The moment I realized that my eyes met bright yellow eyes, my head was already crushing the priest’s head.
Kwasik!
Blood was splattered everywhere.
“… … !”
The church members looked at me with wide eyes as I suddenly barged in.
Most people were like that, but the two church members who were walking around the priest were much quicker to understand the situation.
They immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards me.
The one on the left was a sword, and the one on the right was a sword.
Although I didn’t intend to, I also took out the Seven Deadly Sins Sword and the Onmyodo Blade and responded to each of them.
Kakakakang!
… pestilence.
You’re stronger than you think?
Or maybe my condition is worse than I thought.
In any case, it is clear that he is not an easy enemy.
… The priest is dead.
I was planning on cutting these two down and escaping immediately, but was it really the priest’s escort?
Both of their swordsmanship and swordsmanship were not at an extraordinary level.
To make matters worse, the church members who were in a panic formed a formation and began to slowly pressure me.
‘What should I do?’
Should I use Crowtaker to escape into the air? There is no room for that.
What about waiting for it to enter the bleaching state? well. If I enter the whitening state in this cave, I don’t know if I can survive for 5 minutes.
Then, the only choice is to either die or break away, using a musical instrument to escape… … .
“young master! “It’s dangerous!”
At that moment, Ramon loudly warned me.
‘That idiot, didn’t he run away?’
… I didn’t even have time to think about it.
I lowered my head before even thinking.
Wedge!
Something sharp grazed my hair. The moment I looked back, I saw the priest moving ominously with his head broken.
“What is this… … .”
It was terrible.
Because I had completely smashed its head, it was crushed from the top of its head to its upper jaw, and only its lower jaw remained, crackling strangely like a nutcracker.
Even in that state, it let out a strange voice from its throat, and in an instant it took on a four-legged animal-like stance and rushed towards me.
‘You became a ghoul? ‘A priest?’
Guards on both sides, priests at the back, church members at the front.
In the end, just as I had feared, I found myself surrounded on all sides.
‘This is more dangerous than I thought… … .’
That’s the moment.
Suddenly, I saw dozens of beads spread out in the sky.
What on earth is that?
Puff puff puff!
At that moment, dozens of beads in the sky exploded simultaneously, and smoke exploded everywhere.
‘smoke shell?’
Acrid smoke instantly covered the room. A situation where visibility is extremely limited.
I covered my nose and mouth with my collar.
I don’t know what it is, but it’s an opportunity.
Of course, it is beneficial for me if my vision is blocked against such a large number of enemies.
He indiscriminately cut down enemies around him with the Yin-Yang sword held in his right hand. Nevertheless, he activated the power of the divine beast and gained the vision of a snake.
‘… … .’
Even with snake vision, it was impossible to see through the smoke, but at least it was possible to understand the terrain.
I ran my tongue and climbed the wall.
Then, Ramon was seen spraying smoke bombs a little distance away.
When I parted the smoke screen and revealed myself, Ramon’s eyes widened.
“Boyeon… … .”
I didn’t have time to reply, so I ran with Ramon under one arm.
Because I thought I shouldn’t stay here for a long time.
It was then.
“Back, back!”
Who is chasing you?
I glanced back, but what I saw was a completely unexpected sight.
“… … !”
It’s ice.
Storms of cold, blizzards, frost… … . In any case, a snow storm was swirling with such force that it looked as if it would cause serious trouble if it touched us.
Why is it a snowstorm all of a sudden?
I don’t know what it is… … .
‘It’s too fast.’
There was no bird to avoid or prepare for.
We were instantly swallowed up by the snowstorm.
