Chapter 283. How to Freeze Time (1)
Tsusssss…!
heart of winter.
that sometime in the distant past.
A divine object created by Bingryong Tyranus.
An artifact given as a gift for the Magentano royal family.
But the heart of winter considered itself unhappy.
always had to be locked up.
Because it has so much power.
Because it has too much power.
It was not easy to see the light of the world, so it had to be kept in the deepest place after seeing the palace.
I wasn’t happy.
I’d rather it be something as simple as any other common treasure.
So if I hadn’t even had a faint ego.
Even if it’s a thousand years or ten thousand years, even if you’re locked up.
I wouldn’t have been unhappy at all.
I couldn’t.
Because I have a faint ego.
Because you are aware of your situation.
I was frustrated, longed for freedom, and was looking for an opportunity.
And finally today.
Found an opportunity.
tsusssss! Doo kung! Doo kung!
A new thing that is only a 2cm marble.
Winter’s heart beat regularly.
It was because I was excited.
He thought he had finally found someone who would release him into the world.
He was a man who had been intrigued for some time.
It was a person with a heart similar to that of a dragon heart.
So I was curious.
It was interesting.
But seeing it today, I even developed a good feeling.
Even after accepting the cold from that person, he was enduring it.
As I watched it, greed slowly raised its head.
What if you and that person become one?
It was from the time I thought about it.
tsussssssss!
The chill of the heart of winter intensified.
All that chill was focused on the interesting human Lloyd.
To subdue that human like this.
to capture the author’s heart.
To rob the author’s body like that.
I want to borrow the author’s body to gain freedom.
A storm of merciless and indescribable cold was poured down on Lloyd.
Thanks to that, Lloyd tasted like dying.
‘…Whoa!’
Lloyd was frightened.
Even so, it was a plate where stamina was exhausted.
He was the one who carried the royal mage, six knights of the royal guard in armor, and nineteen men of the big work crew out of the tunnel.
He even climbed a 45-meter-high shaft ladder with them on his back each time.
I couldn’t help but get tired.
To pass on the warm mana made with the dark mind to all the people who were on their backs.
It’s because he barely uses mana.
Having done it all with pure muscle strength and endurance.
It was a yard that was completely exhausted and even the legs were loosened.
However, in such a state, I was greeted with an overwhelming cold storm.
‘What crazy! Why is it getting colder!’
A sense of crisis came over me.
It felt like an ice pack of beef bone broth that had been frozen in the freezer fell on my feet.
No, I had a sudden thought that if I left my hands like this, I would not be able to live or die.
‘I can’t collapse here.’
Lloyd bit his lip.
Unfortunately, it is in the hallway right in front of the refrigerant injection room.
It is the closest point to the beating heart of winter.
Therefore, it is the coldest place in the tunnel here.
But what if I get exhausted like this here?
What if you run out of energy and fall?
What if I pass out as if falling asleep?
‘It must be the end.’
The worst-case scenario that would unfold in that case seeped into my exhausted consciousness.
‘I will continue to be exposed to the coldness of dozens of degrees below zero while passing out here. well i won’t die You won’t get hypothermia or freeze to death. Because there is a tribute option. But will I be safe? no. That would never happen.’
while lying down for hours.
While exposed to cold temperatures of several tens of degrees below zero.
You will suffer severe frostbite all over your body.
This will be especially true for the face and hands that are not protected by clothing and are exposed.
‘The skin will all freeze and the tissue will be destroyed. The same goes for the lower muscles. That’s how all the skin is necrotic.’
It will literally rot.
Extensive and severe skin damage will result.
You will suffer from irreversible aftereffects forever.
‘I hate that.’
Lloyd’s shoulders trembled.
Both hands may have to be amputated.
Your face will be completely ruined.
No, in the worst case, you may die while suffering from living hell due to infection and various sequelae caused by extensive skin damage.
‘I can’t do that.’
Lloyd shook his head.
I tried my best to keep my mind straight.
But that didn’t work out the way we wanted.
low stamina.
depleted mana.
An astounding method that only returns to sleep mode.
Nothing helped.
Consciousness continued to blur.
In the end, I fell to my knees unconsciously.
In the meantime, I reached out my hands thinking that I shouldn’t collapse.
hit the floor
That was the moment.
“…Awesome!”
The palm of my right hand was in sharp pain.
I reflexively clenched my hand.
His palms were already bloody.
“….”
Have you been stabbed by a piece of ice?
But thanks to that, my mind was clear for a while.
And I was able to understand
‘This moment could be my last chance.’
stamina that keeps depleting.
A brutal cold storm.
If you stay like this, your consciousness will soon be blurred again.
It will gradually enter the stage of fainting or fainting.
It can’t be.
‘I have to do something.’
Lloyd judged.
calculated and predicted.
Decided and executed.
Ding dong.
[Shady Sim Method Option ⑤: Rapid Charge is activated.]
[A large amount of mana is absorbed from a random target nearby.]
The Rapid Charge option is activated immediately.
I gnawed my molars.
‘This is the best for now.’
Lloyd was sure.
rapid charging.
An option that absorbs mana around you like a black hole.
Thanks to this, it was possible to predict that the heart of winter would absorb a great deal of the cold.
then?
‘The absorbed cold air will affect the mana heart or circle. just like it has been so far. Like the time when mana was robbed by the king’s sister or the undead mastodon hell knight bone dragon. There will be some unexpected new options. Variables are created.’
The variable that was created will help you.
No, even if that option didn’t exist, it didn’t matter.
‘At least the empty Mana Heart will be filled up.’
Literally fast charging.
The empty Manahat will become strong.
With that mana, you will be able to find your energy again.
You will be able to run by energizing tired muscles.
Pudongi and Bell, who are waiting for us inside, should be able to wring the strength to escape here with the foreman.
‘therefore…Please be well!’
Lloyd prayed sincerely.
After that prayer, his consciousness entered the stage of trance.
Consciousness blurred between the three mana circles that started to roar.
Kiyiying-!
A vortex of mana was created around him.
The violent and ravenous mana absorption began.
Everything within range was subject to absorption.
Even the concrete of the floor.
Even the rock bolts stuck in the concrete.
The rock formations surrounding Rockbolt.
The cold storm that raged around was no exception.
tsusssss!
The heart of winter was stunned by the drizzle.
Even so, I was trying to occupy that human heart.
It was in the middle of pouring a cold storm on that human.
But that person is rather actively absorbing the cold?
I thought I was crazy.
I wanted to die and even wanted to go crazy.
However, such doubts were short-lived.
Upon closer inspection, that was not the case.
tsuss…!
He absorbed the coldness of that human side, processed it, and used it as his own.
He was digesting all the mana in the cold.
That’s how I was filling up the mana heart over there.
Tsu Sut!
The heart of winter laughed.
The more I got to know him, the more interesting he was.
On the other hand, I also thought that that person was pitiful and pitiful.
I even felt like a giant holding a toothpick and witnessing a little boy in front of me.
It was natural.
Although that human is desperately absorbing the cold.
Because the amount of cold air absorbed like that is only a part of this side.
It’s like trying to scoop out an iceberg bigger than a mountain with a spoon.
So it was.
It seems like if you want to do it, do it.
It seems like you want to absorb it to your heart’s content.
The heart of winter unleashed an even more powerful storm of cold.
It was a storm that overwhelmed Lloyd’s rapid charge absorption.
The results were quite devastating.
Parts, parts, parts…! blah blah blah!
Lloyd’s entire body, which fell into a trance of rapid charging, was covered in frost in an instant.
His skin froze in real time.
slowly.
sure at the same time.
His exposed face and hands went through the process of frostbite.
The cold air that was not absorbed even with the rapid charge began to damage his skin.
It was an overwhelmingly hopeless fight.
No, it was a fleeting resistance before it was a fight.
It was a hopeless struggle and a protest destined for defeat.
Just like that, Lloyd’s body gradually became encased in frost and ice.
Xaviel arrived at the scene when Lloyd’s lower body was completely trapped in the ice pillar.
“…Mr. Lloyd?”
After breaking through the cold and descending to the bottom of the tunnel, Xaviel was startled.
He abandoned the king who was in sparring and ran all the way here.
It was an ominous feeling throughout the run.
Upon arriving at the site, it was the yard that came down the tunnel as soon as I briefly heard the story.
Please make sure that fake Lloyd is safe.
I pray and hope that nothing goes wrong.
finally arrived
“….”
Lloyd was already half trapped in the ice pillar.
Xaviel was able to understand the situation as soon as he saw it.
‘There is no hope at this point.’
Thanks to the dark mental method, I could see all the flow of the situation. I could feel all of Lloyd’s mana absorbed.
Mana absorption with maddening momentum.
Even so, the amount of mana in the cold storm was overwhelming.
So Lloyd was being pushed back.
I was surrounded by the cold air that I hadn’t been able to absorb.
The moment you realize the situation.
Xaviel took a step without hesitation.
Entered Lloyd’s rapid charging range.
Immediately, he too became the target of rapid charge absorption.
Tuku-u-!
Colossal mana began to leak from the mana heart of the cells of the whole body.
Even so, Xaviel didn’t care.
He immediately responded with an astounding mental method.
The three-pronged circle was reversed.
Twisted the mana absorption flow of rapid charging. neutralized
That’s how he was able to become an exception from the target of mana absorption.
He didn’t stop there.
One more step.
I approached Lloyd.
One hand stretched out. I put my hand on Lloyd’s shoulder.
I closed my eyes. Concentrated.
own manahat.
A three-pronged mana circle.
woke up conformed to the flow.
Riding on the flow of Lloyd’s mana circle.
In this way, his three-pronged mana circle was connected to Lloyd’s rampaging mana circle.
started running the same way.
Xaviel’s three prongs.
Lloyd’s three prongs.
A total of six mana circles rotated as if they had become one. Resonated. amplified
The effect of multiplying 3 by 3 was created.
A total of nine amplifications occurred.
between amplification and amplification.
with explosive activity.
overwhelming absorption.
He shredded everything around him. tore it up swallowed
Kiyiyiing-!
Absorption on a different level than before began.
It was a rapid charge of nine mana circles.
Xaviel went a step further.
I put my other hand on Lloyd’s back.
With that, the mana hearts of the two were interlocked.
Lloyd’s heart is a mana heart that has reached the Expert Intermediate level.
A Grand Master class mana heart nested in Xaviel’s 60 trillion cells.
With one big group.
60 trillion distributed.
The two conflicting Manaheart systems interlocked, connected, and responded.
Within a short time, the multi-mana heart system was established.
It assisted the nine-pronged mana circle.
Digested fast charging mana absorption, which was different from before. Refined. made it his own step by step. Like filling an empty barn with grain. Without missing a single drop of mana. diligently and violently. Fierce and meticulous. Overwhelmed, dominated, dominated.
Meanwhile, Xaviel thought.
‘I don’t know you very well.’
Suddenly, his gaze turned to Lloyd’s back.
Lloyd is in a trance and doesn’t even respond to your touch and help.
Although he is the eldest son of the Frontera family, he is actually a fake person.
An entity that invaded this place from another world.
But now the only pillar of the family.
The hope of preventing a crisis from approaching the family and saving the count couple, their masters.
So now he is the one who is willing to help.
‘How do you regard your family name? What do you think of the lord? how you look at me Are you just using it? Maybe that’s why I’ve been faking my identity to everyone for a long time. I don’t know anything. Just-‘just
.
I just wish.
‘I hope that the countless choices I made in the past and today that I helped you with do not lead to regret.’
Xaviel concentrated even more.
The Circle and Mana Heart linked to Lloyd.
I put all my energy into all those linkages and absorption amplification.
Lloyd, who fell into a trance, also instinctively responded to the help.
Heart of Winter is sick of it or whatever.
Whether it’s an artifact created by a dragon.
nothing mattered
He was blind now.
It was absorbed and swallowed.
He took it as his own and ruled it.
The heart of winter began to be pushed in front of the tyrant-like absorption power.
tsussss…!
A new thing that is only a 2cm marble.
Winter’s heart beat regularly.
It was because I was more interested.
It was the reason he met a human who overpowered him for the first time.
He was a person I had been interested in for a while.
It was a person with a heart similar to a dragon heart.
So I was curious.
It was interesting.
Looking at it now, it’s so terrifying yet lovely.
That human, though with the help of other human beings.
It was swallowing up all of its own cold storms as if to overwhelm them.
Seeing that scene, a new urge struck me.
What would it be like to become a part of that human?
What if we just nestled as a part of that human being and looked at the world?
It seemed possible enough.
He seemed qualified enough to own that human being himself.
If so, I thought that there would be no need to rule and manipulate the human body in a difficult and annoying way.
It was from the time I thought about it.
tsussssss!
The Heart of Winter began to drain all its essence.
Just in time for Lloyd’s absorption power to peak.
He exposed all of his essence and essence.
To assimilate to that human like this.
To dwell in the heart of the author.
To be part of that author.
Let’s enjoy the freedom that unfolds in the future.
He gave Lloyd all the essence of voluntary and friendly cold air. like asking for a handshake. politely and carefully.
Lloyd’s Mana Heart also readily responded to the handshake.
tsussss….
Heart of Winter, a new creature that holds the power of one season.
Lloyd’s Mana Heart performs a wonderful absorption with the help of the Grand Master.
Two disparate beings fused into one.
That moment.
Ding dong.
[Asurahan Psych skill option ⑤: The activation time of rapid charging has ended.]
Kiyiyi….
Lloyd’s raging mana circle calmed down.
The ferocious spinning momentum subsided.
The cold air that had been swirling all around had completely dissipated.
The heart of winter, the sacred royal family, was also gone before I knew it.
And a new message appeared before Lloyd’s eyes.
[You have absorbed the heart of winter, a deity with an ego.]
[The power of the season that the heart of winter possessed has melted and dwelled in your mana heart. This rare experience has a great influence on your mana heart skill. ]
[New Mana Heart skill options have been opened.]
[Mana Heart skill only option ⑤: Freeze time]
