Episode 123
winter war
When King Velence and his party entered Puri, what they found was the sight of a city that was almost half destroyed.
Just a few days ago, the largest city in the Black Snowfield was already more than half destroyed and could no longer be called a city.
But when I saw the wild flowers blooming among the crumbling ruins, I felt strange.
After hearing that they had defeated General Dong, they personally captured the remnants of Fury.
Still, after seeing it with my own eyes, I felt completely different.
My spine tingled.
Is it fear or excitement? Or impressed?
It was a feeling that was difficult for them to pin down and express.
[and! It’s a flower, a flower!]
[It’s spring, spring!]
[Wow!]
[Can I invite other friends now? Is that so?]
The gods of winter flowers were still wandering the sky with excited faces, but when they spotted Elric who was capturing the beasts of Fury far away, they quickly ran towards him.
Elric also noticed them and a smile bloomed on his face.
“Are you here?”
[huh!]
[What on earth did you do?]
[that’s right! How did you do it?]
The gods of winter flowers were anxious to hear Elric’s saga in person.
The fact that they could finally wake up other sleeping flower gods made them happy.
“Your help has been great.”
[Our help?]
[Why are we helping?]
All the flower gods, including the god of repair, tilted their heads in the same way. The sight was so cute that Elric burst out laughing without even realizing it.
“There was a flower scent that you guys gave me, right? With that, we defeated winter. “There’s nothing better to call the season like the scent of flowers.”
[hmm? hmm… !]
[Mmm!]
[I do not know what I mean!]
[It just means that things went well thanks to you guys. If it’s hard to understand, just accept it that way.]
The camellia god lightly waved his hand as if asking Elric why he was going to explain it in such detail. For children, it was best to simply explain things at their level.
just as expected. The winter flower gods, who had been lost in thought for a moment, all had bright expressions and turned from the camellia god to Elric.
[Is that so?]
[Is it okay to think like that?]
“yes.”
[and!]
[We defeated winter!]
[that’s right! We helped Elric defeat winter! Cheer up!]
[Cheer up!]
The gods of winter flowers were busy dancing excitedly among themselves again. At the same time, the scent of flowers pouring out was more fragrant and thicker than other times.
Is it because of that?
“Oh, oh! “The gods are dancing!”
“It’s a divine dance… !”
“Everyone, everyone, what are you doing! “Hurry up and stop offering praise!”
The prisoners all got down on one knee, bowed their heads, and began to pray.
It was the same for Fury’s beasts.
In the meantime, under the orders of King Blood and Barasen, he had no choice but to neglect the Flower Temple and even commit the crime of blasphemy by setting it on fire.
To begin with, the beast people are a race with strong animistic tendencies, including sky worship. Naturally, they had to have strong respect and worship for the flower gods, so they were all busy being polite.
The sight of countless beasts, both blood and blood, lying down on the floor and worshiping the flower gods seemed somehow pious.
The only one who looked at them with disapproval was the Dongbaek God.
[After being treated so harshly, they still can’t come to their senses and are acting so immature… . ha! I’m really more worried about the future.]
The camellia god sighed as the earth fell. I guess I’ve defeated General Dong now. I couldn’t even imagine how much more awesome those children would become when ‘spring’ comes and the doors to the temple of other flowers are wide open.
And the more this happens, the more the beastmen will support the flower gods.
It only caused more headaches for me to have to lead those noisy little kids.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have put so much effort into decorating the flower garden. I think it’s been like that since then… . However, there was no longer anything that could be done about Dongbaek’s God’s worries.
Then she looked in the direction where Elric was.
[Rather, what do you plan to do now, General Dong?]
“Cold, cold wind, snow… “Now that we have gathered all the ingredients that make up winter, shouldn’t we complete ‘winter’?”
Elric took out the ice crystal and examined it quietly.
When I first received it from Otto Hahn, it had been transparent enough to allow me to see the other side, but now it was filled with a milky color.
[Do you know how to complete ‘Winter’?]
“I didn’t hear it, but would you know? “Do you know anything?”
[If you say you know, you should know, and if you don’t know, you should say you don’t know, right?]
“What do you mean… !”
Elric looked at the camellia god with a strange smile and tried to keep asking questions because he thought she knew something.
Cuckoo… !
Suddenly, Fury had to stop talking and hastily turn his head towards the epicenter due to a violent tremor that shook the ground.

Somewhere… An alien energy was being sensed.
* * *
Following the successive surrenders of Fury’s beastmen, the Antromorph Allied Forces, including King Velence, were rapidly taking over Fury.
“… also. “That’s bullshit!”
Baddeuk!
Andrew, or rather Judas, who was still possessed in Andrew’s body, had his jaw crushed and he had to grind his teeth.
I came here in a hurry, barely able to defeat General Dong’s cold and darkness, and barely sustain my body by forcibly taking away the vitality of my fallen subordinates.
In the meantime, the whole situation has already come to an end.
To him, it was just absurd.
How long had it been for a day or two that he and his organization had worked hard to lure King Blood and get his hands on General Dong?
It was almost 10 years. 10 years.
It was here that the demons were defeated in the Great Demon War, and Grigori reached out to rally his forces again.
And now, if the integration of the Blood King’s beasts is completed successfully, we will finally be able to obtain ‘North Wind’ and ‘Han Seol’… .
Mervinger intercepted it and completely destroyed it in just one morning!
So I couldn’t help but feel angry.
but.
The biggest problem was that the distance was too far for his main body to come here to solve this mess.
While investigating an incident that occurred in a northern slash-and-burn village, I became involved with the Inspection Bureau and was now in a situation where I had to ward off those guys.
‘Come to think of it, I guess the reason I ran into trouble with the inspection bureau was because of that guy!’
From start to finish, nothing was going right because of his involvement with Elric Mervinger.
If I had known this would happen, I would have done it right away. Regret rose up to my chin again.
Before that, he was so desperate that he couldn’t build up magic power, and his family was in ruins, so he thought there was no need to touch him right away and draw the attention of the empire, so he left him alone.
That thought was wrong from the beginning.
‘Then there is only one way left to me.’
Judah’s eyes shone fiercely.
‘Awakening the demon planted in the Blood King.’
The good news is that at some point, the King of Blood began to become immersed in demonic nature by chasing after strangers instead of cultivating the Way.
I calculated that if I awakened that demonic power, even if I could not immediately retrieve the North Wind and Snow, Elric would at least not be able to awaken its power right away.
Having made that judgment, Judah took action without hesitation.
“Demon God. And demon king. Look upon us, your subjects.”
He straightened his hand blades, pulled out his nails, and stabbed them deep into his left chest, where his heart was.
Puhwaak!
Blood splattered over my chest. Thick fresh blood flowed down the corner of her mouth. Following it, black magical energy began to leak out and spread.
The intention is to completely burn not only the demonic energy of the other subordinates who were brought in to come here, but also the demonic energy of Andrew, the owner of the body.
Human sacrifice.
In performing ancestral rites, the most effective thing is the offering, and among them, life boasts the greatest value.
Since you gave so much, including your life and even your seal, how could they not like it?
“Your wish has been well received.”
The last time he heard that voice was the last time Judah lost consciousness. It bounced away from Andrew and returned to the main body in the distance, and the offering quickly fell apart and soaked into the floor.
Tsutsutsu-
The ground turned pitch black. The color of death, which creates a completely different feeling from the ground where wild flowers used to bloom. It spread quickly like ink in a puddle of water.
And above that, the fire that had clearly been extinguished suddenly arose in a big way. Wildflowers were burned and the once moist earth became dry again. Flames rose high through the cracks that cracked like turtle shells.
Kwakwakwa!
The fire demon, which had only a red color until it was wielded by the King of Blood, now took on a black color, symbolizing demonic energy, and spread wildly.
As the flames tangled in a random manner, it began to take on the bizarre shape of a gigantic fox, with seven tails.
According to Judah’s wish, Azazel gave him strength, and the Blood King’s soul responded to it, transforming him into a mystery.
Wow!
The Blood King, no, the wonder wearing the mask of the Blood King opened his mouth wide as he let out an instinctive cry.
Dark red flames scolded the earth and passed through Fury’s exact center.
“Well, well, that… !”
“what? “Blood King, aren’t you dead?”
“I don’t know! Avoid, avoid! hurry!”
The prisoners began to hastily run away from the flames, fearing that they might be swept away by the flames.
[Why are you doing that!]
[The stench is terrible!]
[It smells like a gutter!]
[It smells like Mephisto!]
The flower gods shouted in disgust. It seemed more urgent than when General Dong appeared. This was because the mysterious magical energy was so strong.
『Those… !』
Mephisto glared at them as if he didn’t like them, but the winter flower gods urgently shouted at Elric.
[You can’t keep leaving that thing alone!]
[The black snow field will return to the snow field again!]
[‘Spring’ is not coming!]
[There will just be a drought!]
[You will become like General Dong!]
Elric understood those words to mean that the Blood King’s soul would become another mystery like General Dong and would forever make the Black Snowfield a harsh environment again.
‘Somehow, I felt like things were going to be resolved too easily.’
Elric quickly sent a message to Hayes, who had followed King Velence.
[sister! Take all the prisoners and get out of here!]
[you!]
[I’ll take care of it myself, so come on!]
Hayes looked worried at Elric, who was about to jump into danger again, but knowing that his voice was serious, he hurriedly advised King Velence and other city leaders to flee.
And in between.
Paaat-
Elric jumped out toward the wonder and took out an ice crystal.
“It’s really varied, really. There was heavy snow just a little while ago, but now it’s a drought? “Just do one thing!”
But unlike his tone of voice, his eyes were shining more seriously than ever.
‘General Dong was said to have destroyed King Blood, but now such tricks can no longer be done.’
Moreover, I don’t know what kind of trick they used, but the mystery has become much stronger than it seemed when it was alive.
I couldn’t tell if it was because I was burning my soul as fuel, or if I had some kind of mutation as I became a complete human being.
Elric realized that there was only one way to put it to sleep.
‘I tried to do more research and proceed… ‘Winter’ is completed right here.’
The moment the thought ended.
Without delay, Elric pushed the ice crystal he was holding into his mouth.
Wow-
At the same time, the seal of cruelty and the seal of cold wind also spread light and created resonance.
“【Come, Winter】.”
A cold wind began to swirl around his body.
Wizard who swallowed talent
