Episode 152
North wind and cold snow
“This, this… ?”
For a moment, Thanant wondered if he had seen something in vain.
No, because it made absolutely no sense otherwise.
‘okay. This is a genjutsu! Elric Mervinger, this guy is more specialized in illusion than ice magic!’
I knew well that the 2nd and 3rd teams of Cheongnang were attacked by this guy. I already knew that he had grown enough to become a mage. That’s why most of Cheongnang was dragged along.
but… This was absolutely ridiculous.
Although the Blue Langs are not treated as knights within the Byle family, that is only because their origins are not good and their duties are dirty.
Their power was similar to that of other knights, or rather, in some ways, others could not even dare to approach them.
This was because they had personally experienced so many battles that they could not even be compared to any other knightly order.
But all of those subordinates froze.
And that was because of a single ice storm.
Therefore, it was not unreasonable for Thanant to conclude that it was an illusion performed by Elric.
but.
There were too many things that were too realistic to say that.
The temperature of absolute zero, where it felt like my body would freeze just by standing there, was not a cold that could be realized just by tricking the senses.
“Uh, uh, uh… !”
“Save me… Give it… !”
Then, the moment his subordinates, who had barely escaped with their lives, opened their mouths, Thanant could not help but feel as if he had been hit hard in the back of the head.
For some reason… Because it never seemed like a lie.
For an instant, I felt like I had been pulled out of a world of imagination and into reality. I came to my senses.
So I tried to shout something.
By then it was already too late.
Tsutsutsu-
As if ignoring Thanant’s thoughts, ghosts appeared in a line from all over the wall.
All of the ghosts, including the Banshee Reaper, were holding a large scythe or weapon in one hand.
Kiaaa!
Kikikiki-
The dungeon guardians, who had received orders from their new master, quickly moved through the spaces of Cheongrang while letting out loud cries.
Since most of them were already frozen and unable to move, it didn’t seem that difficult to kill them.
“Save me… !”
“Kukkeokkuk!”
“I can’t die in vain like this… !”
Weapons, including the scythe, were composed of spirit bodies, so they could easily pass through physical limitations such as ice.
Of course, armor without magical devices was of little use.
Among them, there were some who were relatively free from the cold snow and were able to move freely.
However, the temperature, which had already reached absolute zero, continued to create frost and frost, hindering their movement.
The dungeon guardians kept appearing without stopping no matter how much I cut them down again and again.
No, there were many times when I just cut through empty space.
There was a reason why ghost monsters were rumored to be dangerous.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlk!
Also, why do the ice chains constantly sticking out through the ice make my hands and feet so dizzy?
Even if I tried to retreat, the rear was already filled with dungeon guardians, so I couldn’t even think of going out.
In the end, the blue rangers became isolated, stranded, lost a lot of their strength, and slowly collapsed.
“Huh, huh… !”
“Why doesn’t it disappear like this…?” !”
“Damn it!”
By the time time had passed, there were almost no people standing.
Squeak, squeak-
Cutting my soul again and again.
As an eerie sound rang out, as if a farmer was harvesting in the fall, Thanant’s face gradually turned white.
From astonishment to shock to fear.
His appearance was changing all the time, and he looked dangerous, as if he would collapse if he was tapped from the side.
‘how… how should… !’
In fact, it was equally difficult for Thanant to move.
The upper body was already covered in frost, and more than half of the lower body was stuck to the ice and could not move.
Even though I tried to get off the ice a little while ago, my magic power did not flow easily.
Should I say that it feels like even the magic power and aura have been frozen?
It felt as if the cold that enveloped the dungeon had penetrated my skin and even touched my auror hole.
Although it was absolutely ridiculous according to his common sense.
To begin with, this sight was hard to understand, so I couldn’t say anything.
I just want to somehow escape from this hellish moment.
Then, the one who boasted a particularly strong presence among the Banshee Reapers turned his head in this direction.
Me? Kikikick!
The guy looked at Thanant for a long time, then slowly approached me while letting out a bizarre laugh.
As the shadow of death gradually approached, Thanant’s heart also became impatient.
‘in action! ‘Move!’

One shot.
Another shot.
I tried to move my hands and feet somehow.
Even if the ghost was impervious to physical attacks, activating the aura was the most important because attacking with an aura was somewhat effective.
Blah blah, blah blah-
‘a little bit… little bit more… !’
Banshee Reaper raised his scythe high. The pale, shining blade of the scythe became more frightening.
‘Jebaaaal!’
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Then, as soon as his right arm finally gained strength, and the ice broke, Thanant’s eyes turned bright red.
‘Okay… !’
Thanant quickly drew his sword upward to block the Banshee Reaper’s scythe. However, the scythe passed through the sword in vain and cut through the top of Thanant’s head.
Sigh!
It made a sound like tearing paper.
It was the sound of my soul being cut loudly.
and.
Cheer up!
As Thanant’s eyes lost focus, the sword lost its power and hit the floor.
It was the moment when the ugly wolves, who claimed to be the shadow of the Weil family and became the limbs of Paul Weil, were annihilated in vain.
The wind blowing from the north has long been known as a cursed wind that brings death.
It contains the resentment and resentment of countless dead and steals the souls of the living.
That is the north wind.
It was the second power that Elric received from Otto Han.
* * *
“and… “I wouldn’t even dare to use this.”
When all the red dots that symbolized blue fur disappeared, Elric collapsed on the floor.
I really felt like all the strength had been drained from my body.
That’s because all of his magical power was used up in an instant, leaving him exhausted.
As Elric, it was just absurd.
No matter how powerful he was, the dissolution rate he had achieved so far was close to 30%.
If we were to simply say that number, it might seem too small.
It was 30% of the magic stone, which was the combined magic power of two beings, the Great Demon King and the Dragon King.
Elric could already confidently say that if only the amount of magical power he could use was considered, it would be difficult to find someone even in Pentacle City who could compare to him.
At least Augustine can compare?
There it is.
What about the magical circuit completed by absorbing Otto Hahn’s thoughts?
There was no need to talk about efficiency as the magic power was operated through numerous networks.
Still, I ended up exhausted.
In just two steps.
Of course, it did show some power.
In front of the ‘cold snow’, which artificially creates a temperature of absolute zero within a certain area, all of Cheongnang also froze.
The ‘North Wind’, which drives death, actually attracted large numbers of ghosts of the dead and took their souls.
It is indeed a power that can be called power.
‘But right now there’s too much waste. Until the amount of magical power increases, I won’t be able to use it except when I’m in real danger.’
It felt completely different from when I was learning from Otto Hahn in the world of imagery.
It seems like they went over the issue of magical power exhaustion so that they could quickly master the visual world… It seemed like it would take a considerable amount of time to fully embody this in the flesh.
Still, Elric was happy.
This gave me two secret weapons that were second to none.
『North wind and cold snow. Seeing as how you have completely passed over the secret technique, it seems that they have now completely recognized you as the inheritor of ‘Winter’.』
Mephisto’s eyes were strangely shining.
Wasn’t he the one who burst out in strong emotions even while looking at the body left behind by Otto Hahn? However, when I saw the power that reminded me of Otto Hahn, my emotions seemed to be disturbed again.
『It’s winter, winter… . Then is it ‘spring’ after this?』
Elric nodded quietly.
There was something Otto Hahn said before leaving the world of images.
-As you may have already guessed, ‘winter’ is only just beginning. You must gather all four seasons from now on.
-This alone is very strong, do you need more?
-Obviously. The more the seasons come together, the more they shine. and… One thing to add is that the four seasons all originated from the ancestors. When the power of the founder was so strong that it became difficult to pass it down, it was divided into four, creating the ‘Four Seasons’.
It was something that Elric could not help but be shocked by.
It is said that the founder was no different from the teacher who raised the four generations of retainers.
It was so huge that they broke it down and taught it to you?
It was a statement that made me laugh out loud.
Conversely, if we turn this around and think about it, we come to a different conclusion.
-Then, if we can put it all together… ?
-okay. The magic of Sijo is revealed.
-… !
-Magic that can be said to be Mervinger’s ‘beginning’. No, the ‘primitive’ magic that created Mervinger and Inoe will be placed before you.
For some reason, the word ‘primitive’ touched Elric very deeply.
I had a strong feeling that there might be something there that I wanted, or rather, that there might be something that would make what I wanted come true.
-Of course, the process of collecting them all won’t be that easy.
Elric asked while swallowing dry saliva.
Where is that place?
And the answer I heard was… .
‘… ‘Where was it?’
At that moment, Elric lifted his head.
I felt like I was dreaming.
No matter how vivid and long a dream you have, it seems to disappear in vain after you wake up.
I couldn’t remember much of what Otto Hahn had told me, as if it had been overwritten.
Elric felt uncomfortable for a moment.
This was definitely not a prank perpetrated by Otto Hahn or a device left for a specific reason.
Otto Hahn really wanted Elric to go to the next location, and asked him to complete the Four Seasons, telling him where to get ‘Spring’.
And yet.
The fact that I couldn’t remember that part, as if it were a lie, meant that someone had ‘intervened’ directly.
‘Who is it?’
Elric’s eyes wavered for the first time.
Wizard who swallowed talent
