Chapter 355
A solid ice castle where not a single ray of sunlight shines. In this world where the movement of life and the flow of time had stopped, Lewis was a harsh tyrant.
By collecting the negative emotions of suffering people like taxes, they accumulated enormous energy.
And what even Aden doesn’t know is that all those emotions, which are like fuel, are sleeping in the basement of Ruin Castle.
‘You are wise and brave beyond your years, but this was a battle that was against you from the beginning.’
But still, Lewis was caught up in a strange sense of déjà vu, thinking ‘I have to kill Shin Yoo-seong’ and ‘I don’t want to kill that guy.’
‘The reason is, of course… … I guess it’s because of the bowl. How dare you bother with the topic of having your mind absorbed… … .’
Lewis narrowed his eyes and saw Shin Yusung. Even though we had met him for the first time today, he was somehow a familiar face thanks to his assimilation into Adela’s body.
“Can I ask you one thing?”
“what?”
Looking at Shin Yu-seong, who was nervous with his entire body covered in fighting spirit, Lewis savored the present moment and asked slowly.
“Why did you appear next to this woman? … … Why did you comfort me? “Was it just a random coincidence?”
Louise is a witch who has transcended humanity through hatred. It was a question she normally wouldn’t have asked, as she felt nothing at all. But now she was ‘something’ born between Luis and Adela.
“If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to. “This is just whimsical entertainment.”
This emotion that even you cannot understand is the fickleness of humanity. It was proof that Lewis, who absorbed Adella, had become a human rather than a witch.
Shin Yu-seong saw Lewis like that.
He made eye contact for a long time with very quiet eyes and then opened his mouth.
“Answer my question first. “Where is the real Adela?”
Instead of answering Shin Yu-seong’s question, Lewis made an ice crystal ball. Reflected in the transparent ice was Adela’s younger self.
“Are you still curious about that much?”
Little Adela was left alone, but she did not cry. With her teddy bear next to her and her knees hugged, she was just waiting for someone.
“Adela… … .”
Shin Yu-seong looked up at Lewis with eyes full of contempt. The look in Lewis’s eyes was like the moment he first saw Adela. She was smiling leisurely, but instead of showing joy, she looked emotionless and empty.
“You don’t know. Comforting someone… … “It’s something that has no original reason or purpose.”
“… … No reason or purpose? okay. Right.”
After hearing the answer, Lewis closed his eyes and once again savored Shin Yu-seong and Adela’s experience. The memories of the two of them, which were nothing more than a peaceful daily life, were like wine with a sweet flavor to Luis.
The world was truly unfair.
“The bowl is trapped in an illusion I created. “It won’t be long before you lose yourself and your existence will be erased.”
Why was it that even though Adela was in the same danger, they sent a savior named Shin Yu-seong, and all that came to Lewis was eternal hell?
In the life of Lewis, who was a human being, humanity was nothing more than an object to be hated, but did he share such a happy experience with Adela?
“Then at that time… … .”
But this unfairness is now over. Lewis planned to destroy this unfair world with his own hands.
“I am Adela.”
Lewis closed his eyes and thought. Shin Yoo-seong is a person who is the complete opposite of the trash she experienced. He didn’t think it would be a bad idea to start anew in a pure white world where humanity was cleaned out like c*ckroaches.
Yeah, there was no need to kill him.
Now that they had finally become human, it didn’t seem like a bad idea to erase Shin Yu-seong’s memories and create new encounters and new memories in a world where only the two of them were left.
It is a new rewriting of the life that Lewis lost unfairly, an experience stained with hatred.
‘Saving all the trash… … It meets my standards… … ‘Creating a new humanity.’
When Lewis stretched out his pure white hand, ice crystals flowed out like several strands of transparent thread.
“Now that my body has changed, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try new techniques.”
[Opera of the Snow]
When Lewis smiled, a blue wave made of mana fluttered. The waves instantly froze and turned into flaky snow, as if water had touched a cold iron plate.
This is the prelude to Adela’s strongest technique, the Opera of the Eyes.
Sigh!
But just as the rain was about to disperse, Lewis clenched his fists.
“Of course, what I use is very different. “I read your memories and found that you can use Mana Resonance, right?”
Wow!
The Snow Opera is Adella’s barrier that envelops the surrounding area in a blizzard. However, Lewis compressed the barrier into a circular sphere.
“… … Now, take a look. The same mana has different shapes and properties. “This is the witch’s application.”
The Snow Opera was originally a huge barrier that should have surrounded the entire Ruin Castle, but its power was condensed to its limit until it became a small dot in front of Lewis’s index finger.
A pale blue dot so shabby.
Lewis’ attack seemed to shrink mana from the size of the Earth to the size of a ping-pong ball.
‘Is that a way to prevent mana resonance?’
What would be the benefit of reducing it to such a small form? However, no matter how much he thought about it, it was difficult for even Shin Yu-seong to guess the reason for Lewis’ attack.
This is the difference between the experiences of witches and humans who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
“I want to see you frozen. But don’t worry. When you open your eyes again, you will have forgotten all the painful memories.”
Lewis crushed the blue dot with his index finger and thumb.
The coldness exploded like a grenade in the eye opera that had been condensed to the limit in the form of a dot.
Fuuuuuuu!
The blue explosion that started from Lewis’ hand froze all objects it touched and spread throughout Ruin Castle.
“ah-!”
Lorelai, whose hand was touched by the wave, sighed. By the time Lorelai noticed the explosion, more than half of his arms were already frozen.
“This… … .”
Shin Yu-seong is equally perplexed by Lewis’ method. Until now, Shin Yu-seong had many preparations for techniques using mana.
There was a way to use the Changryong Ascension Wave to attack from a distance, and there was also a way to nullify the activation of the technique by resonating the wave.
However, the technique used by Lewis did not involve destruction. Lewis condensed Shin Yuseong’s mana waves to the limit so that they could not be read.
Mana is like that.
Even if you can predict the movement of a huge storm, you cannot read the movement of a storm contained in a small bead.

The only time available to Shin Yu-seong was the split second when Lewis broke the dot and a cold explosion was formed.
Shin Yu-seong displayed extraordinary concentration and read the waves of the ice explosion. Her senses accelerated to several times their normal speed, and she even had the illusion that time had slowed down. But still.
‘late.’
Destroying technology through mana resonance means understanding and reinterpreting information. However, the enormous amount of information contained in Lewis’s “Opera of the Eyes” was like a huge book.
No matter how much we accelerate our senses, is it possible to understand such a vast amount of information in a split second?
Lewis read Shin Yu-seong’s weaknesses through Adela’s memories. The seemingly invincible mana resonance was easily destroyed.
Knock, knock!
Shin Yu-seong’s fingertips were frozen, but he couldn’t give up. He wondered who could save Adela if not himself? Adela, who worked hard to muster her courage, became a child again and endured the never-ending winter alone.
‘Accelerate your thoughts to read more waves, faster!’
Shin Yu-seong accelerated the accident even further. The speed that humans can process was surpassed a long time ago. What I feel now is the dizzying sensation of the electric wire connected to my brain being cut off with sparks flying.
Perhaps it was for this moment that he honed his strength and was chosen by the King of Power. What does it mean to simply become stronger? However, there was no greater meaning if it meant saving someone precious.
‘More, more, faster!’
The ice that had spread from his fingertips now covered them, but Shin Yusung kept repeating the word ‘quickly’ in his head.
Let’s quickly read this mana, convert it, and save Adella.
However, the chill that flowed through Lewis’ body was so eerie. This wasn’t just cold, it was a feeling of despair.
‘Adela experienced this cold at the age of 5… … Did she go through this alone?
Shin Yu-seong’s breathing became heavy. Adela’s appearance was clear in my blurry vision.
chin-
Adela was in the same room as always, sweating all over her body from a nightmare.
[you… … It was… … .]
However, seeing Adela calmly coming to her senses, Shin Yu-seong had no idea. How many times did Adela repeat this nightmare?
[…] … I hate to admit it, but I am afraid.]
From the age of 5 to now, how many times have I had to kill myself in the fear of not being able to calm down, in the loneliness of wanting to see my precious people again?
[But I don’t even want to stop. now… … I want to get away from that memory. So that… … .]
How did you still have courage?
Therefore, Shin Yu-seong knew from the beginning that it was an impossible calculation, but he did not give up. Adela also faced her past with incredible courage.
‘More, a little more, more…’ … .’
But that too is over now.
Shin Yu-seong’s mind became clouded.
My brain, which had been accelerating my thinking, felt relaxed for a moment and was freed from the burning pain. Her thoughts were lost and all that was left was the horrible feeling of her body being consumed by cold.
The moment when the mind, dulled by cold, slowly falls into the deep sea from which there is no return.
“I gave up… … do not-!”
Lorelai shouted.
Lorelai tried to wake Shin Yu-seong even while half of her body was frozen.
“No matter what hardships… … Saving the princess is the prince’s job… … “It’s a role.”
Even though the target was Adella and not herself, Lorelai cheered for Shin Yu-seong.
“You must… … .”
Lorelai turned into a cold ice statue before she could finish her sentence. Even though she did not become Shin Yoosung’s princess, Lorelai had no doubt that Shin Yoosung was the prince who would save everyone like in the fairy tale.
‘I am-!’
Shin Yu-seong came to his senses and stretched out his hand again. When I awakened my senses again with a clear mind, the surroundings were not an ice castle, but a golden land that I had seen once.
Clock tower.
Crumbling earth.
Built on top of it was the temple of Chronoa, the goddess of time.
[Breaking the rules again for the sake of humans… … . I thought foolishness was only for humans, but it seems the same goes for goddesses as well.]
Chronoa, who appeared next to Shin Yooseong, muttered softly.
[No matter how much time is given, the same mistakes are repeated.]
Is it for his contractor, poor Lorelai? Or was he moved by Shin Yu-seong’s grit? I don’t know why.
[This is really just this time.]
The Goddess of Time broke her contract and swung the pendulum. Although it is only a ‘second’ moment, time has completely stopped.
