Episode 256
“Is this here?”
Unlike Limpdia near the empire where the Dragon Demon War is in full swing.
The end of the northern part, which is only quiet and quiet.
In Ladia, a land where fire has died and everything freezes, a woman wearing a fluffy robe with white hair was walking through a gap in the ice.
Dark clouds so thick that you don’t know if it’s daytime or nighttime sprinkle strong snowstorms.
In the place where I barely entered through the snow that was buried up to my waist.
“It is as your father said.”
Seruk.
As soon as I take off my hood and brush my wet hair, I reach into the shadows to get some firewood and light it.
Inside the ice wall where everything is frozen.
Her reflection in the blue ice made me think of someone.
Colorless hair and gray eyes.
The woman, whose color looked like a drop of ashes, had her long hair tied back.
Her name is Earth.
It is the incarnation of the sword.
A cavity made of colossal ice.
The entrance was strangely small, but the inside was huge, like the way giants walk.
The moment I tried to go down the gap again after melting my throat for a while until the firewood went out.
[Wait.]
Someone’s voice made Earth stop.
A voice that resounds quietly.
Eventually, the figure of a man appeared, covered with the bones of an animal.
Even in the ice wall where everything was frozen, the man taking off his top made Us question his eyes.
“Who are you?”
[I knew you would come. scabbard. I didn’t know you were a bitch. Unexpectedly.]
“I am his messenger.”
[Have you already made an incarnation? It’s more amazing than I thought.]
“I came to see the giant. are you a giant Not really, considering the size.”
[Even giants usually like small ones. It’s inconvenient just because of its size.]
“You’re a strange guy.”
[It’s good to grow only when necessary. These days, they can’t even do that.]
“…”
He speaks like an old man.
Earth had a hunch that he wasn’t lying.
Perhaps, among the giants, he had a fairly high-ranking position.
[Follow me once. I came all the way here, so I’ll have to give it a look. Is that polite?]
Earth grabbed the sword at the waist.
The darkness he received from God was also Benishiouf.
Just in case, I grabbed the sword and followed, and I heard the man’s voice with my hands behind my back.
[Is it a sword made of dragons? that’s a good sword The same goes for the sword stuck in your heart.]
Startled. Startled, Earth soon calmed down and followed him.
The man, wearing the bones of a deer or some unknown animal over his face, strode down the gap.
The further down he went, the more Earth’s breath became pure white.
In an instant, frost forms on Earth’s body and it freezes to pure white. No matter how incarnated the body was, it gradually became too much to endure this level of cold.
It was a cold that the world had never felt before.
A feeling of being frozen to the bone.
Earth was silently following the unknown man, but he had no choice but to become more and more vigilant.
“Hey…”
The moment I tried to stop him.
[Everything is here.]
The tall man stopped.
“You all came. There is nothing here…”
A place where there are only a bunch of stones with nothing. However, Earth soon felt that his judgment was wrong.
The place where he stopped was in front of an enormous rock, which was shaped like a beast’s rib.
[Even God doesn’t know what’s inside the giant’s body.]
“Body? So, is this a giant?”
[okay. The only place we hid is the haven created by the giants in the beginning.]
What is the current giants’ hideout?
It was a place where the primordial giant hid underground and froze in a prone position and turned into a rock. And not just one, but several.
What were the giants trying to protect? So many people risked their lives to freeze to death.
[Follow me slowly. It’ll be a little hot from now on.]
Under the place where the giant lay.
When the man touches it, the ancient letters glow and at the same time the door to the basement opens with a roar.
At the same time, pure white steam was created thickly.
‘It’s warm.’
As soon as the door is opened, steam is created when heat and cold meet.
However, the cry of an animal could also be heard from somewhere.
Earth was a little puzzled, but kept quiet at the man’s attitude.
[Follow me.]
As I followed him down the stairs to the basement, Earth also took off the clothes one by one as the temperature inside got hotter.
After going down the spiral staircase for a long time, the first thing you see is something sparkling red that draws Earth’s attention.
A country of giants formed around the fire burning in a huge brazier.
[This is our land. it’s radia And the fire in the furnace hides from God and we have been protecting it for thousands of years.]
“…There is something in the fire.”
[What do you think it is?]
“A giant.”
[Correct.]
What is burning roaring in the huge brazier is none other than the giant’s body.
“How could that be?”
[Divine Punishment.]
He looked at the body of the giant nestled in the furnace with pitiful eyes and said.
divine punishment.
It’s because of God’s punishment.
[I was punished by various gods.]
In order to inflict eternal pain, I received an incombustible body and sent down the eternal fire of the beginning.
Thus, a fire giant was born.
he burns forever
Burning bodies regenerate forever.
It was to make my body feel the burning pain forever and ever.
of course.
[live. He still.]
The fire giant is still burning.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
As I descended the stairs, I wondered what a roar I heard all of a sudden, but it turned out to be a scream from a fire giant.
Hearing the scream, the man showed a self-deprecating laugh.
[Isn’t it funny? Even after seeing the giant suffering so much, there is no way for us to do anything. At the same time, they are even grateful for the existence of Taros, which drives away the cold.]
While sympathizing with the giant who has been burning and suffering for eternity, they seem to feel skeptical about their lives because of it.
Earth felt compassion for the giant burning in the furnace and suffering.
[We fear God. Even if you live day by day, if you see Taros, you can’t go outside like a coward.]
The man in the bone mask said.
[The incarnation of the scabbard. Can your god punish the cruel gods in the sky? If so, we will dedicate our all to serve your god.]
A Chain of Pain.
say to cut it off.
Earth pondered for a while before opening his mouth.
“You want to kill me.”
The man answered in silence.
* * *
Meanwhile.
Corruption that ensues.
Inside the rag-stitched monster was a blonde child with white skin.
“It seems that this is enough. fool. no, what’s your name?”
[Sophie Sophie. Reciprocate.]
“Sophie. thanks.”
[pay. I did.]
“Yes, you did very well.”
[Hehe.]
Seeing Sophie smiling flawlessly, Carly had no choice but to think deeply about what corruption was all over again.
“Your hair is long.”
[long. Hair.]
Sophie looked down at her long blonde hair and tried to tear it off herself.
It seems cumbersome.
Sophie’s body was covered with shiny threads, and at first glance, her hands and skin were white as if they had never seen the light.
I don’t know how long I’ve been in that ragged corpse.
“Come here. Don’t braid.”
[Braiding?]
“Yes, among the memories I have, I also remember braiding my sister’s hair.”
[Cut it off!]
“It’s a waste of hair to cut.”
Sophie, who had long braided blonde hair in an instant, looked around her body curiously and liked the tied-up blonde hair.
[Pretty!]
“I’m glad you like it.”
Sophie’s smile, as she lifted her tied hair with both hands, changed from innocent to mature.
“You…”
[Huh?]
As he tilts his head, the moment disappears and he smiles like an idiot again.
Carly’s eyes narrowed calmly.
“no. I’d rather run away a little bit more than that. They won’t leave us who fooled them. They’re probably looking for it while destroying the entire area.”
thump thump!!
I can hear the dry trees falling down and the whole area being smashed.
Sophie’s body trembled.
“Dragons are fearsome creatures. It is an apex predator with enormous size and power comparable to that.”
In addition, those who took the form of a fighting dragon were more difficult to deal with than they were originally.
To the extent that it is difficult to deal with even with the power of incarnation.
“I don’t know if it’s one-on-one. There is no chance of winning against three. Running away is the priority now. Because my purpose wasn’t a dragon in the first place.”
[Escape?]
“Yes, run away.”
[Yeah run away! Coward!]
Even if it is made of ashes and shadows, it does not mean that it is immortal.
Even if a situation comes, Sophie will die even though she will live.
No matter how depraved it is, when it dies, it dies.
Nothing is infinite in this world.
“It’s not cowardly. It’s a strategy.”
[Strategy?]
“Yes.”
[Cowardly.]
“…”
Sophie’s eyes changed when she said she was cowardly. The innocent eyes calmed down again.
[Running away is cowardly.]
Sophie’s face changes.
It started to change from being a small child to being a little grown up girl.
[Running away is not the best way. The world can’t achieve anything by running away. Running away is cowardly. Even if it’s a god.]
Kali’s eyebrows twitched.
“Was it not flight that you hid among the corpses and covered yourself?”
[That’s it!]
Slowly. Sophie’s body changed back to that of a child.
Carly’s eyes narrowed.
It seemed that the corruption that was connected had quite a few stories.
“But what are you doing?”
[Putting it together.]
The smaller Sophie was again piecing together the things scattered around her.
in a small cave.
There must have been a bear-like beast, and I put a thread into the body of the guy to wake it up.
Soon after, it makes its own body like a cocoon, puts it inside, and starts moving.
It was quite gory, but Sophie’s body looked weak even at a glance, so it was natural for her to do so.
[Resurrection!]
It was a bear with horns on its head.
A bear called a unicorn that has dozens of spines sprouting from its back.
Kali stood up after staring at the ensuing corruption for a long time.
“Let’s go slowly.”
bang! bang-!
The sound of impact gets closer and closer.
Perhaps the dragons are still pursuing them without giving up.
Kali and Corruption, who came out of the cave, secretly hid their energy and moved.
The battlefield where the goal is the corruption of the beginning.
“It should have been…”
A sharp blade draped over Carly’s neck.
It was coolly stabbing Carly’s throat slowly.
“You are not Callius, but who are you? Why do they look so similar?”
As soon as she left the cave, Kali, unable to react to the blade, stopped and looked at the man who had drawn the sword towards her.
“Why are you alive?”
“You carry that sword, you have a similar face, and even your energy is similar. Besides, seeing as you know me, it’s Colliers…but he says it’s not my feeling.”
Quaang-!
The binge drew closer.
“Follow me at once.”
sereung.
A blonde man with a sword.
“Because I have a question.”
It was Lutheon.
