Episode 143
: The power given to Yoosung by the Frost Lord.
It was a coldness that could not be obtained without overcoming death.
The blood in his body froze and cold enough to freeze his heart began to swirl within Yoosung’s body.
A bitter cold that a mortal body cannot handle for even a second. However, Yoo Seong’s body, which even possessed the essence of the immortal monarch, was no longer that of a mortal.
So I was able to handle it.
The coldness of winter that cannot be measured by the laws of this world.
“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this moment? “I am a child who has spent a thousand winter nights and a thousand winters.”]
[The Frost Lord whispers lovingly.]
….
It felt like his blood was frozen, his emotions were frozen, and his very being was frozen. The coldness flowing through my blood was so chilling that my teeth were chattering and shaking.
The cold that even Yoo Seong, who possesses various cold skills and the Ex-rank protection < Winter Apostle >, cannot handle. At the same time, I was able to understand that the cold swirling within the body was a ‘force’ that could move Yoosung as he wished.
I stretched out my arms.
Huh!
Winter was raging.
The cold air flowing along Yoosung’s body gathered at the tip of his finger, and what was at the tip of that finger was ‘winter’ itself.
Taang!
And like an ice bolt, the swirling winter shot out from the meteor’s fingertips.
Winter rushed beyond the horizon along the frozen ground filled with bitter cold and ice.
It was not a four-season winter that was easy to understand.
It was a cosmic winter where even all thoughts froze, black holes evaporated, protons and neutrons collapsed, and heat energy died (Heat DeathM). The cold of absolute zero. The essence of the immortal monarch, the body of the vampire, the boneless bones of the Heavenly
Demon
… . All of the transcendental powers possessed by the meteor became a vessel that could contain the cold and not break.
[The Frost Lord bestows the title “Snow Prince”!]
[Equipped cold shadow. The attribute skill card 《Dark Frost Landscaper》 is replaced with 《Winter Night》!]

Explanation. The universe is so cold and dark that it is like an endless winter night.
“Why did you give me this power…?”
Yoosung muttered quietly.
And the Frost Lord, the silhouette of the cold in front of Yoosung, finally appeared. Her appearance was revealed.
It was a girl wearing a dress that shined beautifully like crystal.
At first glance, she was a young girl who didn’t look much different from Lily.
However, as she said, her presence was evident in things like the refraction of light and the retina’s optic nerve. “ Do you
think this power is new?”
asked the Frost Lord, who took the form of a young girl.
At the same time, cold swirled around her, and ice giants rose from the crystal ground. Then, they slammed their fists down as if threatening the
shooting
star, and the shooting star unconsciously activated the ‘Winter Night’ skill ability. The
swirling winter shot from the tip of the finger in the form of an ice bolt.
Bang!
The scattered winter crashed down on the ice giants, and that was exactly what happened.
The ice chunks that made up the giants began to disintegrate at the particle level and shatter into pieces.
So fleeting and meaningless.
“This power…
“Yeah, aren’t you used to it?”
And I was able to realize that that power was very familiar.
“The last sword of the Sword Lord Heavenly Demon…
A sword of emptiness that dismantles all meaning. It was the power of nihilism that I had no doubt about believing was the sword of the Heavenly Demon.
“Desperately seeking meaning and finding a strong person to defeat him, the child’s sword also arrived here.”
“this place?”
“okay. “Right here in the winter of space.”
The Frost Lord spoke happily.
“Black holes are evaporating, protons and neutrons are collapsing, stars are collapsing… We have reached this ‘cosmic winter’ where there is nothing but bitter cold, holding a sword in our hands. That’s why I gladly bestowed the monarch’s throne on that child.”
“So you were also one of the ‘Seven Great Princes’?”
“Yes, lovely child.”
The Frost Lord giggled happily.
“I am the Lord of Frost, and at the same time the Lord of the winter, meaninglessness, and void that will come at the end of this universe.”
The weight of that Jinmyeong (ftname) made Yooseong take his breath away.
The Absolute Meaningless One, that was the Demon God of the Sword and the Heavenly Demon.
However, what was in front of Yooseong now was something more than a meaningless absolute.
Because it was the meaninglessness of the winter of emptiness that would later devour and freeze this universe.
“Aha, I enjoyed your self-introduction. So why did you give me this power and what do you expect from me?”
“Don’t worry, child. “I got what I deserved.”
It was right then.
[10000000000 karma has been paid to the Frost Lord!]
“Who bought it?”
“Karma is not something you can control by your own will, my lovely child.”
The Frost Lord chuckled and turned his back.
The world of ice I was standing on began to crumble little by little.
At the same time, a voice was heard.
“You’re a beggar.”
It was the voice of a mechanical girl and she looked around in surprise. Before I knew it, it was a department store covered in traditional white pearl marble.
“I don’t have any achievement points. “I can’t buy a pack of cards.”
“Yes, I just got sold a product worth 10 billion won, so I don’t have any money. “Have I been scammed?”
As he said that, Yoosung looked at his skill settings and became aware of the cold flowing through his body.
The skill Dark Frost Landscaper was changed to ‘Winter Night’, the only level skill in Myth, and even gained a new title, ‘Prince of Frost’.
In return, a whopping 10 billion achievement points… no, by paying karma.
“Then see you later.”
“Collect your achievement points and buy me a card pack.”
“Yeah, I don’t like it.”
“It’s going to be a myth.”
“Yes, it’s already gone.”
At Yoosung’s answer, the mechanical girl puffed out her cheeks. Still with an inorganic and selfish expression.
At the same time, the scenery of the store stopped and the scenery of the entire area began to return.
Into the Grand Empress’s Tower, where the Nightmare Lord resides
.
I just hoped that the product would be worth its price.
The scenery I was standing on changed, and before I knew it, the place where the shooting star was was over the old battlefield.
The Great Empress’s Tower, where a power war is taking place, right where the Lord of Nightmare exists.
“Mr. Yoosung? What’s wrong?”
Right there, Maria looked at the shooting star and tilted her head.
And as soon as he saw Maria’s face, Yoosung’s body moved.
“Yoo Yooseong?!”
Yooseong suddenly hugged Maria, and Maria blushed in embarrassment at that action.
“What the’
Lieutenant General Kilgore’s cigar fell out of his mouth, and Lily tilted her head, looking at the two people blankly.
“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
And Yoosung, who was burying his head in the crook of Maria’s neck, muttered quietly.
“…Because it’s cold;
Yoosung himself didn’t really know why he acted like that. As soon as I saw Maria, my body started to move. Because it was so cold and cold, I needed some warmth to melt the cold.
At Yooseong’s words, Maria wordlessly wrapped her arms around his neck.
It was a very fleeting moment.
”I guess I’ll buy it now.”
Yoosung widened the distance after the hug.] He answered calmly as usual. But Maria couldn’t smile at that sight.
Still, nothing changed.
Yooseong stretched out his arms and began to sharpen his sword as cold air swirled around his feet.
Sword of Winter Night.
The blade of the winter night, which contained almost pure white frost and the darkness of the night sky, scattered dazzlingly pale razor blades.
“That sword…
And it wasn’t Maria and Vice Admiral Kilgore who couldn’t realize the nature of the magical power contained in that sword.
“Oh, I just stopped by the store.”
Yooseong shrugged his shoulders and adjusted his winter sword. The fingers holding the hilt of the sword were trembling.
The cold felt like it was biting my flesh, and my heart felt like it was freezing. I felt like my teeth were chattering and I was shaking at any moment.
Nevertheless, Yoosung did not show it and tried to feign composure.
“Then shall we go?”
As always, it was a burden that the King of Heroes should bear.
After passing through a battlefield reminiscent of the Normandy landings, the landscape began to distort again.
And three players were walking there as attackers. Together with Lily, the daughter of Meteor and Maria, a force in the Tower belonging to the Lord of Witches.
The King of Heroes, the Saint General, and the Witch of Balfur Gith.
“Are all the players besides us dead?”
“There may still be a few left from the defenders’ faction.”
Maria responded to Lieutenant General Kilgore’s words.
And before they knew it, a new landscape appeared in front of them.
It was a mansion. It
‘s so huge that you can’t even look up at it properly
. It was a gothic mansion that looked like something out of a horror movie.
“Welcome to my mansion.”]
[The Lord of Nightmares welcomes the ‘attacker forces’ with open arms!]
“Home It looks like the end is finally in sight.”
Yoosung spoke as he looked at the mansion and
walked without any hesitation.
Sigh.
I stepped towards the mansion and
the entrance was carefully opened. The lobby filled with darkness finally welcomed Yoosung and his group.
And there it was.
The Lord of Nightmares, wearing a velvet dress and holding a scythe, is accompanied by a ‘dealer’ wearing a smiling clown mask.
“Welcome, attackers, players.”
“What kind of trick is this?”
Yooseong asked coldly as he looked at the Clown Lord’s power dealer.
“Oh, don’t misunderstand. “We are the arbiters of the game.”
Then the dealer shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Even though I couldn’t see his face because it was covered by the clown mask he was wearing.
“And I am here to arbitrate the game that will be played here.”
It was right then.
[Countless monarchs descend according to the ‘rules’!]
Countless monarchs descend.
Maria took a deep breath at that message, and then an indescribable power swirled around her.
The transcendent ones, who should look down on the world from the throne at the end, began to reveal their existence one by one.
