Return of the Frozen Player 444
Reaper of Souls (2)
The Knight’s Corridor, the place where the souls of famous knights gather.
All kinds of armor and weapons were hung on the walls on both sides of the red carpeted corridor.
All of them were obviously masterpieces made by artisans of the era.
“Something feels divine.”
“If you have to ask, this is heaven.”
Heart, who responded lightly, moved slowly.
Seo Jun-ho followed closely behind him and asked.
“What do you mean you invited me?”
“Literally. As the rightful resident of this corridor, I have summoned your spirit for a moment.”
The reason for the invitation seemed to know without asking.
I told you not to blame yourself, but since you are doing all the books of the world by yourself, you must have called because you were frustrated.
‘Ah, embarrassing.’
When I turned my head slightly embarrassed, I heard a choking sound.
“You seem to know what you did wrong.”
“… … If you act calmly and confidently in that situation, that would be even weirder.”
“That too.”
the world is cool
Seo Jun-ho, who cleared his throat lightly,
opened
“What was Sir Hart doing?”
“I have had a good time here, meeting people whom I miss and welcome. It’s only for a few hours.”
Nice and longing relationships?
Seo Jun-ho’s footsteps came to a standstill.
Come to think of it, this is where souls gather.
‘If that’s the case, Master, Chun-Kwang, and other players I know… …
The moment he gets impatient and wants to ask a question.
As if reading his thoughts, Hart shook his head.
“This is a place where only souls recognized as great knights come. There will be no people you know.”
“… … Is that so too?”
As I calmed down with a shy smile, the souls of other knights appeared one by one.
“Hmm? Another new soul has come?”
“Two in one day. a large-scale war
Did it explode too?”
“I don’t know. They may have invited you using your authority.”
“Chuck, if that’s true, you must be terribly fond of him.”
When interested gazes turned to Seo Jun-ho, he also observed them.
‘It’s fun.’
It was like walking through a history museum.
Their armor and weapons were apparently made in an old fashioned way.
“Is there only a hallway here?”
“No way. There are hundreds of restaurants, accommodations, private training rooms and bathhouses, as well as gymnasiums.”
“It deserves to be called a place that knights dream of.”
Being able to wield only a sword without any worries is the best, isn’t it?
Even in a world where there are only strong people who are not easily seen, even if you sparring all day, you will be looking forward to tomorrow.
“Even the frontier continent has a fairly long history, so the number of souls must be frightening.”
“It’s not as much as you think. Five hundred at most.”
” yes?”
No, it’s just that?
Seo Jun-ho looked at him with a surprised face.
“It seems that the criteria for selecting souls is much stricter than I thought.”
“That’s true, but it’s because there are souls who choose extinction without wielding a sword.”
“ah… … indeed.”
Those who are tired and want to rest are everywhere
because there is a law
Seo Jun-ho nodded and asked.
“So where are we going now?”
“The gymnasium.”
“Why?”
“Seeing your bewildered face from above, I thought I wanted to give you a blow. That’s how I was invited.”
“omg.”
that’s too much
But at the same time, I was also looking forward to it.
all.
‘It’s been a while since I fought with Lord Heart.’
In particular, he was the one who wanted to show the black moon dance he had learned the most.
When we reached the end of the corridor and opened another huge door, a new scene was revealed.

“and… …
I saw white stairs connecting several islands floating in the sky.
This place, where even huge stone statues of knights were erected, is the castle of knights
ji.
Awesome!
“Hahaha! won!”
“Oh, damn it. I was not feeling well today.”
“Stop making excuses. 12,023 wins
12,021 losses is my advantage.”
The spirits of the knights freely mixed swords, helped them practice, and discussed martial arts.
The souls, who quickly returned to normal even after being seriously injured, did not fear even death.
“Doesn’t it look interesting?”
“Looks like fun. very much.”
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes shone like the sea reflecting sunlight.
Wherever I looked, I saw only the strong.
“Sir Hart, can I have a little sparring here?”
“That won’t work.”
“Uh, why?”
“I’ll tell you in a little while.”
Heart walked forward and pulled out his sword.
At the same time, his airway suddenly changed and the air around him became heavy.
“Oh, the Heartwepper drew his sword.”
“They say you have great skills, but I’m finally going to have a look.”
“But who is the opponent? It’s the first face I’ve ever seen.”
“A newcomer or… … It must be his hand.”
Heartwepper is also a newcomer here.
Of course, there were many knights who were curious about his skills.
They stopped what they were doing and took a seat at a distance, looking at the two of them.
“Hmm. How old did you say Heartwepper was?”
“I am over 130 years old by the standards of the human world.”
“Huh, it’s not enough to stop aging, it’s to the level of retrogression. He was an incredible talent.”
Heartwepper was quite famous even within the corridor.
Knights and disciples who lived at the same time talked about his story.
just because.
“Just one favor.”
Heart opened his mouth.
It was more serious than ever.
“I will do my best from now on. You too, show your best for this.”
“… … Let’s do that.”
Seo Jun-ho nodded at the request, which was so sincere that he could not bear to refuse it.
He then took out a sword and
Darkness emanated from his body like a skein of thread.
At the same time, the faces of the knights watching them hardened.
“Hey, who the hell is Heartwiper against?”
“Mo, I don’t know. There were no articles like that when I was living.”
“The way I see it, it’s the same as rejecting being human. 150… … No, is it 200 years old?”
A gigantic and ferocious aura that is the complete opposite of her childish-looking face.
They are me as Seo Jun-ho sees them.
never thought that
“Okay, then take it.”
With the warning, a tremendous energy exploded from Hart’s body.
This is a sword that contains the lifelong passion of a knight named Heartwiper.
Quadruped!
The stone floor he stood on was shattered, and debris flew away in the wind like a storm.
The sword he wielded in that state was more perfect than any sword he had wielded in his entire life.
“Cut the mountain. ”
An attack that distorts space and flies.
Seo Jun-ho’s gaze at it sank coldly again.
‘… … Indeed, the sword is full of life. You’re serious.’
In the past, when he trained with Jun-shik, he did not perform this kind of murder.
But now it was different.
I don’t care if I die anyway in the spirit state, I swung my sword with all my might.
will be.
A light smile appeared on Seo Jun-ho’s lips.
‘How can I not be sincere against a sword like this.’
Apart from Hart’s request, he is also greedy as a warrior.
The desire to see the best of the frontier’s best knight wield and the best of one’s own.
‘Overclock 100%.’
At the same time as hot breath escaped from Seo Jun-ho’s mouth.
The dark energy he exuded dyed the sky black.
Originally, the moon is a symbol of growth, but the blackened moon only means death.
“Black moon dance final ritual, black moon.”
The month that sentences death to all who face it.
The sword drawing a black circle aimed at Heart’s heart.
A sword that can cut even a mountain is helplessly toppled over and torn apart.
Heart, who was looking at that figure, laughed with his mouth torn all the way, far from crying.
It was only once, but when I mixed the swords, I had no choice but to know.
‘I got it.’
The martial art of ascension that he had been so emphasizing.
Darkness, who obtained it, destroyed his lifelong essence with a single stroke.
Seo Jun-ho looked ahead with a calm expression.
The pitch-black moon, tinged with the power of contempt, was never accompanied by noise.
It’s just a weapon that will cut through everything in front of you
‘Was it a bit harsh?’
The sword attack cut down not only the heart, but also the island and stairs ahead, and dozens of knights.
“… … It is unbelievably destructive.”
Heart’s torn soul was instantly restored.
He opened his mouth with a somewhat dejected, but clear face.
“I lost.”
“Thanks to Lord Hart’s teaching to seek ascending weapon technology.”
“Thank you for saying that.”
Heart smiled softly.
“And I’ll tell you why you can’t fight other knights.”
He looked at the island and the souls of the knights, which were restored in an instant, and continued.
“A soul that enters the Knight’s Corridor only once. Through dreams, we can invite humans to this place.”
“……yes?”
Seo Jun-ho asked with a surprised face.
Just once, so why give yourself that precious opportunity?
“Shouldn’t you say hello to the Emperor and other family members?”
“I’m sorry, but those people will be able to get along just fine without me.”
But Seo Jun-ho, this foolish hoobae was a little different.
If you don’t tell me that you’re happy when you meet like this.
It was clear that he would live with himself as a burden on his shoulders until the day he died.
Are you
“When you wake up from your dream, you will forget everything that happened here. I can barely remember it.”
“that……
Was it because of this reason that the place called the Corridor of Knights spread like rumors?
Then, he will live with only fragments of his memories, and even the feeling of sorry for his heart will be diluted.
‘Without even knowing English.’
Seo Jun-ho bit his lip and lowered his head.
He could see his body slowly fading.
“Now, it seems that the time for a true farewell has come.”
……
farewell.
The moment he heard that word, Seo Jun-ho raised his head.
“If there was a way, what would you do?”
“hmm?”
Hart put on a look of surprise.
“Are you raging right now?”
“It’s not a waste.”
He had a ‘soul collector (A)’.
I don’t know the exact conditions for the activation, but he had the right to collect the Heartwepper’s soul.
“Please save the world with me.”
“… … Those eyes are sincere.”
Pure and straight eyes that do not contain lies.
Heart looked at those eyes for a moment, then turned his back coldly as he stowed his sword.
” ah.”
Looking at the heart that is slowly moving away
Seo Jun-ho lowered his head.
The words “don’t go” didn’t come out of my mouth.
He must be tired too. Because I know better than anyone else the feeling of wanting to rest comfortably forever.
‘Even more so, Sir Hart has lived for over a hundred years… …
That kind of heart must be much bigger than yourself.
The moment when Seo Jun-ho, who had finished understanding with his head and empathy with his heart, turned his back lonely.
“It happened.”
Heart’s voice came from behind.
“I’m sorry, but I think I’ll have to postpone the promise to look after your swords.”
“Well, I’ve already waited for decades, so it doesn’t matter if more are added.”
“When you come later, bring plenty of great adventure stories.”
Surrounded by students and friends, Heart bid them farewell and returned to Seo Jun-ho’s side.
“Hmm, why is it making a stupid face again?”
“… … I didn’t know you would really accept it.”
“People are so cool. Let’s go.”
As the two walked down the street, hundreds of knights drew their swords one by one and put them in front of their hearts.
Seo Jun-ho, who saw that, did not hide his amazing expression.
‘I knew Lord Hart was great, but I’d never thought that reputation would work here too.’
Hart, who glanced at his expression, opened his mouth.
“Your face is calmer than I thought.”
“Oh, of course I think it’s great.”
“what? no way… … under.”
Hart laughed and hit him on the shoulder with his fist.
“It’s you, not me.”
“What does it mean?”
“It is the object of their respect.”
Hearing those words, Seo Jun-ho opened his eyes wide and looked at the knights.
Eyes meet without missing a single one.
In other words, the face they were looking at was not Heart, but themselves.
“Why?”
“It’s obvious. No one has reached that level at your age. furthermore… …
Those who jumped into the path of martial arts holding a sword had no choice but to know.
How hard Seo Jun-ho must have worked to reach that level, how rough the road he must have gone through, and how much he must have been broken and hurt in the process.
It is a tribute to the knights sent because they know that.
“Master.”
A knight waiting at the end of the procession stopped the two.
She handed the red fabric she was holding to Heart.
“I was in charge.”
“… … I’m sorry I left right away on a topic that I didn’t come to until decades later.”
“no. I tried to scold you for coming too early.”
Hart burst into laughter, looked at her with a vague look, and opened his mouth.
all.
“Don’t go.”
Chow ah!
The red cloak draped over his shoulders fluttered in the wind and unfolded splendidly.
“Okay then let’s go. Lord.”
