Episode 115
Kkot spring cold
The entire army was busy moving in response to an order to quickly block all roads leading to the ‘night block’.
Team 4 leader Temp tilted his head as he belatedly realized that among the fighters following him, there was a face he had never seen before.
“It’s a face I’ve never seen before?”
On the outside, he may seem like an ordinary human being. He had all the features of Sa Sajok, such as a sturdy physique, pure white skin, and curly hair that was matted like a mane.
Because the Sasa tribe was not very numerous, most of them were familiar with the Temps to some degree, even if they did not know their names.
Then, Suin, who was suspicious of Temp, straightened up and shouted loudly.
“My name is Lee, Rickel! Well, I just received an order to go this way… Could something be wrong?”
“Are you a new recruit?”
“That’s right!”
“hmm? I didn’t receive a separate new recruit order… Anyway, maybe it’s because everyone is busy, but they can’t do even one dirty job.”
His speech and attitude were stiff and sloppy, unbecoming of a fighter.
Temp thought it was the nervousness of new recruits who were immediately deployed to combat as soon as they completed military training.
‘I was like this this time of year too, maybe?’
When I thought about it that way, I even felt a little sad.
I still don’t know much about how the unit operates or the rules of the fighters, so everything must be confusing, but since everyone is so distracted, no one can help them.
Even so, he only felt sorry that he couldn’t take care of it because he was worried that it would cause backlash.
“Anyway, cheer up. “Everything may feel difficult and unfamiliar now, but you will soon be able to adapt easily.”
“Thank you!”
Temp tapped the shoulder of a young recruit from the Sasa tribe named ‘Rik’el’ a couple of times, then led the troops again and moved to the designated location.
The young recruit stared at Temp’s back. Temp felt the gaze, but he thought it was the enthusiasm of a superior looking after new recruits and laughed lightly.
but.
『… How can you fool someone with such poor acting? Beast Man Tribe, is it okay for this to happen?』
[I never would have thought that I would infiltrate this far.]
The demon king and god who were hovering around the young recruit were all looking at Temp with an expression of bewilderment.
As Sean and others always point out, Elric was really bad at acting. Same as just now.
Even though it was an awkward way of speaking that anyone could see as suspicious, Temp didn’t feel anything was wrong.
The camellia god laughed and added a few words.
[In addition, the Sasa clan is one of the most prominent clans in Fury. The body odor is so close to that of the Sasha tribe that you would never think of it as a human.]
The beast people originally made judgments about objects based on information obtained through other sense organs, such as the nose and ears, rather than through the eyes.
Elric was able to imitate the body odor of the Sasa clan by imitating Polymorph to a small extent.
None of the beasts, including Temp, considered Elric a ‘human’.
They just think they are fighters from different units who got mixed up as they were all busy moving to their assignments.
[Isn’t this all the result of my big picture? Mephie, if you’re going to make unnecessary noises next to me, just lie next to me.]
Thanks to this, Elric was able to blend in among the beasts so naturally.
Step by step, we began to approach the night block.
With your mind’s eye wide open.
* * *
The closer I got to the night zone, the more I could see dozens of branches coming together like a skein of thread and spreading out again along the dark clouds in the sky.
It means that large-scale magic or magical phenomenon is occurring throughout the area.
Elric thought it was a signpost pointing to General Dong’s location.
Sabak!
Sabak!
Every time I took a step, my feet fell deep into the snowy field created by the blizzard, but since I used magic appropriately, it didn’t take away much of my stamina.
‘by the way.’
As Elric moved, a thought occurred to him along the way, so he turned his gaze to the back of his hand.
‘This seal didn’t show any reaction after that, hmm!’
From the wrist to the forearm, the seal of original sin is of the greatest size.
This seal, which has the shape of a wolf, has shown no change since it ate the demon from Prime Minister Norus.
Even though I acquired a new seal of the cold wind through the arrangement and absorbed so much demon energy. The seal of original sin has never shown any significant response.
‘I guess the only way to create a trigger is to approach the demon tree right away.’
However, even at 1,000, we are having such a hard time, so how on earth should we approach 2,000 or more, where even more monsters are swarming around?
‘If you show even the slightest reaction, I think you can get some kind of hint from that.’
Elric could never forget the feeling he felt when he first became ‘connected’ with the Seal of Original Sin.
A feeling of exaltation, as if my soul was lifted.
In particular, even though I was touching empty space, there were so many textures that caught my fingertips so naturally that I thought I might have obtained a mana stream.
If he had not panicked at the time and tried something else, he might have demonstrated almost omnipotent power.
The power of the seal of original sin was so great.
So Elric was coveting the Seal of Original Sin even more.
I felt like if I could get that power, I could reach the level I wanted faster.
“hmm? What?”
The problem is that the author who possesses such power looks foolish.
[Ugh! it’s nothing.]
『… I think I had some unpleasant thoughts.』
When Mephisto saw Elric’s expression, he felt bad and frowned, but since he couldn’t tell what Elric was thinking, all he could do was guess.
‘I think it’s true that he’s the real Great Demon King.’
Mephisto’s appearances so far were so far from charismatic that it was not unreasonable to think that way for a moment.

『It’s annoying. Anyway, you Mervingers, from the past to the present, the only thing you like is… .』
While Mephisto’s grumbling words fell into my ears.
[It looks like we’ve arrived nearby.]
The camellia god stared at the sky, frowning as if he felt something.
The sky, which had already been difficult to see due to a harsh snowstorm or dense forest, was gradually turning black.
It was a phenomenon that could only be found in the night section of General Dong’s territory, which Elric had also seen in Arrangement.
And in fact, it was going over to the other side with a lot of tangles. A cold wave and a snowstorm were happening from beyond.
‘That’s the place.’
At the same time, Temp was also giving orders to his subordinates.
“From now on, we will protect this place. Be sure to secure your defenses so that not a single rat can enter here! However, entry here is not permitted!”
It seemed like they were trying to prevent the intruders from finding General Dong.
Elric quickly activated the word magic when all eyes and attention were on him as the fighters were busy aligning their ranks.
“【Be covered】. And 【Be secretive】.”
Hwaaa!
The cold wave that came just at the right time covered his body like a curtain.
At the same time, even the presence was completely erased and movement began.
“【Rise】.”
In addition, Elric spread the magic field widely over the snow field and quickly walked over it so as not to leave any footprints.
It took a lot of concentration and effort because each time you step, you have to pull and tangle the grain and create it in the form of a magic field.
He didn’t seem to find it difficult at all.
[Anyway, no matter how Mervinger is, he is an insane talent.]
The camellia god knew very well how arduous and requiring a lot of mental strength, so he looked tired.
Elric moved quickly and arrived at the place.
Paaaa!
A harsh snowstorm and a cold spell that felt like your flesh would fall off just by standing there. and.
Quickly!
Quickly!
In the middle of the snowy field, there was General Black Dong, tightly bound to a scaffold.
‘What is this?’
There was a very long chain attached to the frame, leading down to the ground.
Even though General Dong tried to move around to somehow shake off the chains, each time the chains did not show any signs of falling, they instead kept hitting each other and making loud noises.
How long had I been held there?
The chains were quite worn, so it seemed like they had been tied up for quite a long time.
Because of that, Elric had to be quite shocked.
Hehehe!
At that time, General Dong let out a strange crying sound while looking this way, as if he had spotted Elric.
Even though I bumped into King Yulho so roughly in the arrangement, I didn’t cry out loud even once.
General Dong, here now, seemed to have nothing but evil left.
[You look surprised. In fact, to those who don’t know, it may seem inevitable.]
However, unlike Elric, the Camellia God was looking at General Dong with a very natural expression.
On the contrary, he even had a cold cynicism on his lips.
It was anger at something that had once been a part of him, but had now fallen away and was only causing disaster and misfortune, taking away his precious things.
『Puhahaha! To tie up the curse that the demon god left behind in such a way. I can only say that that thing is amazing in its own way!』
Mephisto laughed lightly, then curled one corner of his mouth and looked back at the Camellia God.
『I guess the reason you suddenly fell asleep 40 years ago has something to do with that?』
[that’s right.]
“no wonder. Those chains strangely gave off too much of a flowery scent. It was made by combining divine power.』
Through the conversation between Mephisto and the Camellia God, Elric was able to understand why General Dong became like that.
“When my grandfather came 40 years ago… “I guess that’s how you made it.”
[that’s right.]
The camellia god calmly nodded.
[At that time, General Dong was on the rampage again, so Usden tied him up like that. However, at the time, it was so large that it was impossible to remove it, so the only option was to temporarily seal it like this… .]
The God of Camellia was still looking this way and looked up and down at General Dong, who was struggling.
[It appears that the seal was better than expected. Or did someone else paint over this?]
Elric could also tell from the word ‘paint over’ that the Blood King had intervened.
In fact, I was able to sense the tail’s protection that I felt every time I defeated Fury’s city one after another in Chains.
‘It looks like they kept it here for their own convenience… Thanks to you, I can proceed with my work more easily.’
Elric felt like everything went well.
If it was tied up like this, it would be much easier to trap it in the ice crystal.
In fact, the biggest concern was how to catch a being that even King Yulho could not defeat when he was young.
Even though I lost a lot of strength while dealing with my grandfather 40 years ago, I had no idea how to deal with an opponent of such caliber.
But since the King of Blood gave me this opportunity, I was just grateful.
If he knew that fact, he would be very angry.
Elric quickly took out the ice crystal from his arms.
Kieh? Kieeeeek!
At first, General Dong frowned as he wondered what it was, but later, perhaps because he sensed something ominous, he screamed even louder.
Whihwihwi!
The cold wave emanating from it became that much stronger.
“【Absorbed】… !”
It was just when Elric was trying to activate magic by spreading a wide magic field there.
Kwakwakwak!
“Tsk! Well then. Somehow it seemed too easy… !”
Elric suddenly saw a large magic circle drawn as the space around General Dong split, and he clicked his tongue and quickly pulled his body back.
Summoning circle. Someone else was about to appear to protect General Dong.
Moreover, the magic spell hanging around Elric’s neck suddenly trembled like crazy, as if it sensed something.
Elric did not miss the fact that the thing flying in full force in the summoning circle was ‘magic energy’.
It was clearly a demon with considerable skill!
but.
That wasn’t what surprised Elric.
For ordinary people, the mere fact that a demon was about to appear would cause a stir, but the area he focused on was something completely different.
The temperament possessed by Magi.
It looked familiar.
“no way?”
Mephisto seemed to have noticed this as well, and his eyes widened.
Elric smiled and looked back at Mephisto.
“I think I caught an unexpectedly big fish, Mephie?”
『Were those guys reaching out to places like this too…? !』
“You didn’t need that? It’s not a totem, it’s a demon itself. The water seems to be of high quality. I will catch it raw and give it to you. Trade call?”
While Mephisto’s expression was cruelly crumpled.
The summoning circle was broken into pieces and the demons were fully revealed.
Tsutsutsu!
There was deep madness in the fluttering magical energy.
Madness Azazel. It was the moment when the demons belonging to Grigori appeared.
Wizard who swallowed talent
