Tsussssss……!

heart of winter.

sometime in the distant past.

A sacred object created by Bingryong Tyranus.

An artifact given as a gift to the Magentano royal family..

But the heart of winter considered itself unhappy.

Always had to stay locked up.

Because it is so powerful.

Because it is too powerful.

Not being able to see the light of the world easily, he had to stay in the royal palace and be kept in the deepest place..

wasn't happy.

If only it were a simple item like other ordinary treasures..

So if I didn't have a faint ego.

Even if I'm trapped for a thousand years or 10,000 years.

I wouldn't have been unhappy at all.

I couldn't do it.

Because I have a faint ego.

Because I am aware of my situation..

I was frustrated, I was longing for freedom, and I was looking for an opportunity..

And finally today.

I found an opportunity.

Tsussssss! Boom! Thump thump!

A new product that is only a 2cm bead..

Winter's heart vibrated regularly.

It was because I was excited..

I thought I had finally found someone who could release me into the world..

He was a person who had been interested in me for some time..

He had a heart similar to that of a dragon heart..

So I was curious.

It was interesting.

But when I saw it today, I even developed a liking for it..

That person was holding on to his own coldness from earlier..

As I looked at that, greed slowly raised its head..

What would it be like if that person and yourself became one?.

It was from the moment I had that thought..

Tsussssssss!

The cold erupting from the heart of winter has become more powerful..

All of that coldness was focused on Lloyd, an interesting person..

To subdue that person like this.

To occupy the author's heart.

In order to rob the author's body.

In order to gain freedom by borrowing the author's body,.

A merciless and indescribable storm of cold was poured upon Lloyd..

Thanks to this, Lloyd felt like dying..

‘……Wow wow!’

Lloyd was freaked out..

Even so, my stamina was running low..

He was the one who carried the royal wizard, six knights of the royal guard in armor, and nineteen large workers on his back out of the mine shaft..

He even carried them on his back each time and climbed a 45-meter-high shaft ladder..

I couldn't help but feel tired..

Delivering the warm mana created with the help of a foolish mind to all those who carry it on their backs..

Actually, I can barely use my mana..

All these tasks were accomplished solely through pure muscle strength and endurance..

It was a yard where I was completely exhausted and even my legs were weak..

But in that situation, I was faced with an overwhelming storm of cold..

‘Holy crazy! Why, why is it getting colder?!’

A sense of crisis came over me..

It felt like an ice pack of bone broth frozen in the freezer was falling on my feet..

No, it occurred to me that if I just let it go like this, I will end up neither living nor dying..

‘You can't fall here.’

Lloyd bit his lip..

Unfortunately, it is the hallway right in front of the refrigerant injection room..

It is the closest point to the beating heart of winter..

Therefore, this is the coldest place in the tunnel..

But if I get exhausted here like this,?

When you run out of energy and collapse?

If you faint as if you were falling asleep?

‘It'll be the end.’

The worst-case scenario that would unfold in that case seeped into my exhausted consciousness..

‘I will fall here, passed out, and continue to be exposed to the cold temperature of dozens of degrees below zero. Well, you won't die anyway. You won't get hypothermia or freeze. Because there is a praise option. But does that mean I will be safe? no. It will never be like that.’

While lying down for hours.

While exposed to cold temperatures of 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 entire skin will freeze and the tissue will be damaged. The same goes for the lower muscles. That's how all the skin becomes necrotic..’

It will literally rot..

Extensive and severe skin damage will occur.

You will suffer from aftereffects that you will never recover from..

‘I don't like that.’

Lloyd shook his shoulders in shock..

You may have to cut off both hands..

Your face will be completely ruined..

No, in the worst case scenario, you may die after experiencing hellish pain due to infection and various aftereffects due to extensive skin damage..

‘That's not possible.’

Lloyd shook his head..

I tried to keep my mind straight somehow..

But it didn't work out as planned.

Running out of stamina.

depleted mana.

A sad way of going back to power saving mode only.

Nothing gave me strength.

My consciousness kept fading..

In the end, I fell to my knees without realizing it..

In the meantime, I stretched out my hands thinking I shouldn't fall..

touched the floor.

It was that moment.

“……Tsk!”

The palm of my right hand was in severe pain..

I retracted my hand reflexively..

My palms were already covered in blood..

“…….”

Did I get stabbed by a piece of ice?.

But thanks to you, my mind became clearer for a moment..

And I was able to realize.

‘This moment might be your last chance.’

Stamina keeps depleting.

A harsh cold storm.

If you continue like this, you will soon lose consciousness again..

You will gradually enter the stage of fainting or fainting..

That can't be possible..

‘I have to do something.’

Lloyd decided.

calculated and predicted.

decided and implemented.

Ding dong.

[Assassin’s Mind Technique Option ⑤: Activates rapid charge..]

[Absorbs a large amount of mana from random nearby targets..]

I immediately activated the fast charging option..

I bit down on my molars..

‘This is the best for now.’

Lloyd was sure.

fast charge.

Option to absorb surrounding mana like a black hole.

Thanks to this, it was possible to predict that a great deal of the cold radiated by the heart of winter would be absorbed..

then?

‘The absorbed cold will affect Mana Heart and Circle. Just like it has been until now. Like the time when mana was stolen from the King Sister, Undead Mastodon, Hell Knight, and Bone Dragon. Some unexpected new options will arise. Variables are created.’

The variables created in this way will be helpful to you..

No, it didn't matter even if that option wasn't available..

‘At least the empty Mana Heart will be filled..’

Literally fast charging.

An empty mana heart will provide you with confidence..

You will be able to find your strength again with that mana..

You will be able to run with vitality in your tired muscles..

Podongi and Bangpoong, who are waiting for us inside, will be able to muster up the strength to escape here with the work crew leader..

‘therefore… … please be well!’

Lloyd sincerely wished.

After that prayer, his consciousness entered the trance stage..

My consciousness became blurred between the three mana circles that began to roar..

Kiiiiing-!

A vortex of mana was created around him..

The violent and ravenous absorption of mana has begun..

Everything within range was subject to absorption..

concrete on the floor.

Rock bolts embedded in concrete.

The rocks surrounding the rock bolt.

The cold storm that swirled around was no exception..

Tsussssss!

The heart of winter was startled by the frost..

Even so, he was trying to take over that human heart..

They were in the middle of pouring down a cold storm on that person..

But that person is actually starting to actively absorb the cold.?

I thought I was crazy.

I thought I was going crazy because I wanted to die..

But that wonder only lasts for a moment.

When I looked closely, it wasn't that..

Tsussss……!

That human was absorbing this cold energy, processing it, and making it his own..

I was digesting all the mana frozen in the cold..

That's how I was filling up the mana heart over there..

Tsusut!

The winter heart laughed.

The more I got to know him, the more interesting he was..

On the other hand, I thought that that person was pitiful and pitiful..

I felt like a giant who saw a kid holding a toothpick blocking his way..

It was obvious.

That person is trying desperately to absorb the cold, but.

Because the amount of cold absorbed like that is only a part of this side..

It's like trying to scoop out an iceberg bigger than a mountain with just one spoon..

That's why.

If you're going to try it, give it a try.

It's as if you can absorb it to your heart's content..

The Heart of Winter unleashed a more powerful cold storm..

It was a storm that overwhelmed Lloyd's rapid charge absorption capacity..

The results were quite devastating..

Partz tsk tsk tsk… … ! Tsk tsk, tsk tsk!

Lloyd's whole body was instantly covered in frost as he fell into a trance of rapid charging..

His skin froze in real time..

slowly.

at the same time surely.

His exposed face and hands went through the process of frostbite..

The cold that couldn't be absorbed even with rapid charging 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 to be defeated..

Just like that, Lloyd's whole body gradually became surrounded by frost and ice fragments..

When Javiel arrived at the scene, Lloyd's lower body was completely trapped in the ice pillar..

“……Lloyd?”

Javiel, who came down to the bottom of the tunnel through the cold, was surprised..

He was the one who abandoned the king who was sparring with him and ran all the way here..

I felt an ominous feeling the whole time I was running..

When I arrived at the scene, I went down to the mine shaft as soon as I heard the story briefly..

Please let fake Lloyd be safe..

I pray and hope that nothing happens..

I finally arrived.

“…….”

Lloyd was already half trapped in the ice pillar..

Javiel was able to realize the situation as soon as he saw it..

‘There is no hope like this.’

Thanks to my vague mind, I could see the entire flow of the situation. I could feel Lloyd's mana absorption..

Mana absorption at an insane rate.

Nevertheless, the mana amount of the cold storm was so overwhelming..

So Lloyd was being pushed out..

I was surrounded by cold that I could not absorb..

The moment I realized the situation.

Javiel took a step forward without hesitation..

Entered Lloyd's fast charging range..

Immediately, he too became the target of rapid charging absorption..

Tookuuung-!

An enormous amount of mana began to flow out from the mana hearts of the entire body cells..

Still, Javiel didn't care.

Immediately responded with a cruel attitude.

The three-pronged circle was rotated in reverse..

The mana absorption flow of rapid charge was twisted. neutralized.

In that way, he was able to become an exception from the target of mana absorption..

he didn't stop there.

one more step.

I approached Lloyd..

I stretched out one hand. I touched Lloyd's shoulder..

I closed my eyes. focused.

own mana heart.

Three-pronged Mana Circle.

I woke up. I went with the flow..

Riding the wave of Lloyd's Mana Circle.

In this way, his three-pronged mana circle was connected to Lloyd's rampaging mana circle..

started running wild in the same way.

Haviel's three branches.

Lloyd's Three Branches.

A total of six mana circles rotated as if they were one. It resonated. amplified.

3The effect of multiplying by 3 was created..

A total of nine amplifications occurred..

Between amplification and amplification.

explosive activity and.

Overwhelming absorption.

I tore everything around me to pieces. torn he swallowed.

Kiiiiiiiing-!

Absorption on a different level than before has begun..

It was a rapid charging of as many as nine branches of the mana circle..

Javiel went one step further..

I placed my other hand on Lloyd's back..

With that, the Mana Hearts of the two people were linked..

Manahart has reached the intermediate level of Expert in Lloyd's Heart..

A Grand Master level Manaheart residing in Haviel's 60 trillion cells..

One big lump together.

60 trillion distributed.

The two conflicting Mana Heart systems were linked, connected, and responsive..

Soon, a multi-mana heart system was established..

Assisted with the nine-pronged mana circle..

The rapid charging mana absorption was completely different from before. refined. took it as his own. Gradually. Like filling an empty barn with grain. Without missing a single drop of mana. Steadily and violently. Fiercely and meticulously. Overwhelmed, dominated, reigned..

Meanwhile, Javiel thought.

‘i don't know you.’

Suddenly, his eyes turned to Lloyd's back..

Lloyd is in a trance and does not respond to our touch or help..

He is the eldest son of the Frontera family, but is actually a fake..

A being from another world invaded this place.

But now the only pillar of the family.

The hope of preventing a crisis to come to the family and saving the count and his wife..

So now, I am the one who is willing to step forward and help..

‘What do you think of your family name? What do you think of your lord? How are you looking at me? I wonder if they are just using it. So, I wonder if he has been lying to everyone about his identity for a long time. I don't know anything. but-’

but.

I just hope.

‘I hope that the countless choices I have made, are helping you, past and present, do not lead to regrets..’

Javiel concentrated even more..

Circle and Mana Heart connected to Lloyd.

We put all our effort into all of that connection, absorption, and amplification..

Lloyd, who was in a trance, also instinctively responded to the assistance..

I'm sick of the heart of winter or something.

Regardless of whether it is an artifact created by a dragon or not..

didn't care about anything.

He was blind now..

I just absorbed it and swallowed it up..

He took it as his own and ruled it..

The heart of winter began to give in to that tyrant-like absorption power..

Tsussssss……!

A new product that is only a 2cm bead..

Winter's heart vibrated regularly.

I was more interested.

It was because he met a person who overwhelmed him for the first time..

He was a person I had been interested in for some time..

He had a heart similar to Dragonheart..

So I was curious.

It was interesting.

Now that I see it, I find it so scary yet lovely..

That human, even though he is receiving help from other humans.

It was swallowing up his own cold storm as if it were overwhelming him..

When I saw that, a new impulse came to me..

What if I become a part of that human being like this?.

What if I just become part of that human being and see the world?.

From the looks of it, it seemed quite possible..

That man seemed worthy of owning himself..

Then, I thought, there would be no need to control and control the human body in such a difficult and troublesome way..

It was from the moment I had that thought..

Tsusssssss!

The Heart of Winter began to bring out all of its essence..

Just in time for Lloyd's absorption power to reach its peak..

I put forth my essence, my essence, everything..

In order to assimilate to that person like this.

To dwell in the author's heart.

To become a part of the author.

To enjoy the freedom that will unfold in the future.

All of the essence of voluntary and friendly coldness was presented to Lloyd. As if asking for a handshake. politely and carefully.

Lloyd's Manahart also readily accepted the handshake..

Tsussssss…….

A new object with the power of a season, the heart of winter.

Lloyd's Manaheart performs a wondrous absorption with the help of the Grand Master..

Two disparate beings merged into one.

That moment.

Ding dong.

[Asurahan's mind skill option ⑤: The activation time of rapid charge has ended..]

Kiyiyi…….

Lloyd's rampaging Mana Circle has calmed down..

The furious spinning momentum subsided..

All the coldness swirling around disappeared..

Before we knew it, the royal family's new item, the Heart of Winter, had disappeared..

And a new message appeared before Lloyd's eyes..

[You have absorbed the heart of winter, a creature of self..]

[The seasonal power of the heart of winter has melted into your Manahat. This rare experience has greatly influenced your Manahart skills..]

[New Manaheart skill options have been opened.]

[Mana Heart skill exclusive option ⑤: Time freeze]
