Episode 151
North wind and cold snow
“what? Are blue tigers leaving the ecliptic in large numbers?”
Hermann suddenly woke up to the news brought by his daughter Isabel.
There are only a few days left until the sparring with Paul.
It was as if I had been so focused on recovery that I was hit hard in the back of the head.
“It’s just like I said. Uncle… No, it must be true because the snow that was planted near Paul Weil told me.”
“Who told you?”
“Second uncle.”
“ah!”
Nothing could be more accurate than the words of the blue hawk who was already watching Paul Weil.
Hermann lowered his head slightly.
“I… The younger brother I knew… “It’s no longer in this world.”
I knew that Paul was greedy ever since I was young.
But Hermann didn’t worry much about it.
At the time, the family was a merchant family that was building a large business, and unlike him, he decided to pursue the sword, so he thought that Paul could inherit the family business.
In fact, he even secretly hinted that he would give him the position of head of the family or a title if necessary.
But it was only later that I realized that it was a wrong decision to begin with.
In the first place, Paul was greedy because Hermann was all he had.
Hermann’s honor, reputation, skills, his connections, and even his support – everything.
The boy, who was always jealous, was dissatisfied with his father and Hermann for monopolizing the world’s attention.
What did Herman say about having a top?
To Paul, that was nothing but hypocrisy.
If Herman chased the sword, he too had to chase the sword and take its place to be relieved.
Thanks to this, the Weil family, which was a historic merchant family, was able to produce two outstanding swordsmen in just one generation and quickly become a military family.
As such, the conflict between the brothers gradually deepened.
Then, when Hermann was recognized for his skills and became a blue lion. Paul’s goal also became the next Blue Lion.
What is the reason for being so greedy?
At some point, I wanted to have a drinking party between brothers and listen to their inner thoughts.
It seemed like I couldn’t do that anymore.
“so… “What are you going to do?”
Hermann held on to his wavering heart.
A complex emotion that you don’t know whether it’s anger or sadness.
Isabel sensed her father’s feelings, but did not show it at all.
‘My father is still an extremely soft person when it comes to his people. That… I have to solidify it somehow.’
Isabelle already knew what Paul’s intentions were for doing such a ridiculous thing.
But I won’t let it go as he wants.
In the meantime, there were more than one trap that Isabel had set up to catch foul people.
After being chased by him and facing the threat of death the other day, the resentment that settled in Isabel’s heart was that hard and sharp.
“First of all, I told my uncles to follow suit and not intervene as much as possible.”
Hermann nodded heavily.
“Good job. Hilton and Thanant, who lead Cheongrang, are not easy to see. If my brothers step forward, they may be able to block the road, but they will be seriously injured. Hilton won’t leave Paul’s side… Thanant must have stepped forward.”
To be fair, Thanant can be said to be Paul’s left arm and sword.
Originally, his skills were quite good and he was a prominent figure within the family, but after learning that he had a bad mentality, Hermann stayed away from him and turned to foul play.
“Instead, I ordered Chen to lead a blue horse and a blue sheep to chase after him.”
“okay. Good job.”
Cheongma and Cheongyang, both knights who swore loyalty to Hermann.
Although Cheongrang’s power is great, if the two sides step forward, they will be able to stop it somehow.
Hermann had to look at Isabelle with strange eyes, who was much more thorough in personnel management than he was.
Who would have guessed that such a beautiful and brilliant daughter would come from someone who lived a rough life, only obsessed with swords?
Although he was unable to inherit the name of the Blue Lion due to his lack of skill with the sword, he had the determination to persevere through this difficult world more than anyone else.
In fact, while Hermann was preoccupied with the sword, he also managed the family on his behalf.
‘It would be a good idea to stop all traffic at this point.’
Hermann had originally planned to slowly hand over the major and minor affairs of the family to Isabel, right after he opened his eyes, and make her inherit the title and title.
I thought that the timing could be much earlier than I thought.
Let’s do that once we’re done with Foul.
And let’s focus only on our duties as a blue lion, and furthermore, focus on giving Elric a ‘weapon’.
That’s what I thought.
* * *
Elric lifted his head up.
Mephisto’s gaze also turned towards the dungeon hallway.
『Is this what you were talking about?』
The question of whether it would be okay to release Sophia, who knew the location of the dungeon, was resolved.
I never would have guessed that there was a group approaching the dungeon.
Insidious guy.
Mephisto thought so while looking at Elric.
It seemed like the smell of blood was already wafting through the air.
“yes. Who is following me? So, I thought it would explode like this.”

『Since when did you stop knowing this?』
“Since you entered the forest?”
『It was from the beginning?』
“of course. “You can’t just give up the back of your head without this level of preparation, right?”
Elric continued speaking with a sour expression.
“Anyway, cleaning up the debris wouldn’t have had any effect, so I let the main body come out.”
I felt like I needed to make a correction. At this level, it was not just insidious, but at a sinister level.
『That’s great.』
“Eh? What?”
『Qualities as a Demon King. After all, you must be of our lineage.』
“Excuse me, I’m Mervinger, right?”
Elric threw up his hands and said that he was saying something that didn’t make sense.
『I think I’ve already vaguely heard about your family’s secret from Otto Hahn?』
Unlike Elric, who tried not to think anything of it as usual, Mephisto’s eyes were still shining menacingly.
Only then did Elric realize that Mephisto’s temperament had completely changed, and his expression hardened and he turned his head towards him.
『Isn’t it?』
“As expected, Mephie knew, right? “The secret of this family.”
『Maybe more than you know?』
It would be even weirder if you didn’t know about the arch enemy you’ve been fighting your whole life.
Elric read the meaning mixed between the lines of the words and thought about asking deeper questions, but he just ignored them.
wait. Then you will find out.
Otto Hahn’s request passed through my mind.
When I said there was no need to rush too much, I may have been referring to this.
“Why don’t you stab me like this for no reason?”
“this. Did you get caught?』
“Anyway, I can’t put my mind at ease.”
Elric clicked his tongue lightly and turned his head back toward the entrance.
Even though he was always with Mephisto and was picking on him, he never forgot that he should never be wasted.
If he shows even the slightest loophole, he will continue to be manipulated like he is now… Thinking like that, Elric spread his palms wide.
Hwii!
A three-dimensional map of the dungeon appeared in the palm of my hand.
From the path Elric took to every nook and cranny he didn’t even know about. It was even a bird’s eye view showing the locations and movements of the dungeon guardians.
After absorbing Otto Hahn’s thoughts, he completely completed the succession to ‘Winter’ and even acquired full ownership of the dungeon.
Thanks to this, not only was I able to see a bird’s eye view of the dungeon, but I was also able to take control of the Guardian.
and.
Just now, a large number of red dots were seen pouring into the dungeon from the entrance.
It was Cheongrang that was recognized as the enemy.
『What are you going to do?』
Mephisto crossed his arms and quietly watched what Elric was doing.
“If I’ve learned something, I have to use it somehow. “Isn’t that right?”
Elric smiled coldly and tapped the three blue dots representing the guardians at the entrance with his finger.
There is no need to go out of your way to deal with these things.
Meanwhile, I planned to use each of the powers that Otto Hahn had taught me.
* * *
“for a moment. stop.”
Thanant entered the dungeon but suddenly stopped.
A chilly wind was blowing down the hallway.
The blue rangers followed the command and stopped all at once. We were on standby so that we could move immediately if the situation arises.
‘Where is it?’
Meanwhile, Thanant quickly scanned the surroundings.
It is clear that the nature of the magic scent flowing through the dungeon has changed… I had no idea how it would work.
They had to quickly figure out whether Elric had noticed their movements and was planning a surprise attack, or whether the Dungeon Guardian had read the intruder and activated the guard system.
Because the way we responded had to vary accordingly.
The terrain of a dungeon had the advantage of being able to cut off the target’s escape route, but it also had the disadvantage of sometimes interfering with obstacles such as guardians.
That moment.
Jeok-
Suddenly, the sound of ice breaking was heard from somewhere.
Normally, I would have thought that an icicle had just fallen inside the cave.
Thanant never let things go so easily.
It was already known that Elric Mervinger was an outstanding expert in ice magic!
‘It’s electronic! ‘I noticed!’
So, the direction from which it will attack is… ?
“Watch out below!”
As soon as Thanant’s command was given, white frost suddenly fell on the ground and the ice spread out in an instant.
The blue rangs scattered in all directions and tried to fall from their places.
That moment.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl
Chains made of ice crystals came out in large numbers, persistently targeting the lower bodies of the blue rangers.
“this!”
“You’re doing something useless!”
Cha cha cha chang!
Tadadadang-
With their body vision, they were able to dodge even flying arrows, so they could only snort about something like this chain.
Rather, he tried to break the ice chain and advance inside.
“what… ?”
“shit!”
The ice chains were much more durable than they thought.
They had to hastily pull the sword inward and pull up the auror as they rushed at it without even a scratch, let alone breaking it.
Puff puff!
Only then did the ice chains explode like firecrackers, and as the fragments rained down and scattered a thick layer of powder,
Whiiing-
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, scattering ice powder in all directions. The sight of Cheongrang instantly turned pure white, and the temperature plummeted to absolute zero.
The power to instantly turn a certain area into a tundra.
Cold snow.
That was the moment it first appeared.
So so so so-
In an instant, the ice storm had swept over the place, and Thanant was able to see it again with his eyes open.
It was a terrible sight, with nearly half of the subordinates standing frozen.
Wizard who swallowed talent
