31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 330)
[Uses Ancient Glacier Spell: Midwinter..]
[Increases the amount of ice caps gained from abilities.]
A chilly wind blew.
“how the author!”
“Humans use the power of heroic spirits!”
Everyone except Bronn is surprised when the Raven uses an ancient glacial spell..
“What? How could that guy….”
Bronn smiled awkwardly at Scholar’s question..
“Various things happened. by the way….”
[Ancient Glacier Witchcraft: Uses the ice cap.]
[Each time you use Glacier Spell, ice caps accumulate..]
Hehehe…
“It really is just like Branca..”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
“Pfft….”
Chrome lost the chain he was wrapped around..
If there had been even a little delay, the magic power would have flowed back and he would have been swept away by the encroachment instead..
“Don't be puffed up!”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Another chain arose.
[Chrom uses Shaman Encroachment.]
[Blocks the magic of the connected target..]
Chrom quickly swung his staff and launched a chain towards the raven..
Wow!!
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Sigh.…
A raven that easily removes chains.
Whirly Whirly-!
However, not all chains could be removed.
“Giggling! You got caught!”
Chrome thought Snowfall was in trouble, but that wasn't the case..
‘I need to check some more before I run into Irizard..’
If the power that Chrom wields now is the power of Irizard, learning more about it will be of great help in the fight against Irizard..
Because of this, Snowfall intentionally gives one arm to the chain to buy time..
- Hmm… Is this the power of Irizard??
‘I think I can use the power of the ice because of that guy..’
- Same idea. If it were Irizard, Branca's power would also be blocked..
If he had been dealing with Irizard instead of the inferior Chrome, he might not have been able to use any spells..
Geek…
Geek…
“die!”
An awl made of ice flew in, aiming for a night crow..
Kwajajajajajak-!
At that moment, an ice wall was formed blocking Snowfall's path, preventing Awl from breaking through..
“Sheesh….”
Snowfall was still able to use Branca's magic. It was also possible to use this power to subdue Chrome..
‘That won't work. I need to find a little more information.’
So even though I could easily overpower my opponent, I grunted and used my magic power..
Geek…
Gigi Geek…
‘hmm?’
- …I get it roughly..
Meanwhile, Jamard sent good news..
- In times like these, the sources you have secured are definitely helpful..
‘What are you talking about?’
- Rotation, snowfall. Spin it before the source freezes.
‘…….’
- …Do it yourself.
Geek…
Geek…
Jamard recognized the existence of the source more clearly than Kangseol. Because of this, we were able to respond more skillfully to encroachment..
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
In an instant, the source power spread to every corner of my body, as if a blocked blood vessel had been unclogged..
A tingling sensation came to my body where blood had been blocked, as if blood flow was flowing..
‘This was it.’
- Surely, this is the power that eats the shaman.
The power of Genshin, which the shaman cannot help but be defeated without even trying. If he hadn't experienced the encroachment in his fight with Chrome beforehand, he could have been helplessly defeated by Irizard..
“stop! stop fighting!”
Jakcha sensed something strange and shouted, but no one responded. In particular, Bram was watching the fight with a serious expression..
‘It's not over yet.’
“Key profit! Where is this too….”
Hehehe…
When Kangseol tried to use the crystal ball to manipulate him, Kangseol couldn't hold back any longer and rushed at him..
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
‘…uh? It was originally this fast….’
At that time, an unexpected situation occurred..
It arrived right in front of Chrome at a much faster speed than expected..
“I profit!”
The raven's fist flew right in front of Chrom's face..
‘this!’
The speed was so fast that even the snowfall was embarrassing. He quickly withdrew his strength when he saw Zakcha jumping towards him..
And instead, acted to achieve the original goal.
[Temperament: Shadow Stealing activates.]
sreung-!
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Geek…
Geek…
Before I knew it, General Zakcha had drawn his sword and was blocking Chrome's entire front..
“Stop it... I would have done it.”
“Oh, that's right. I didn't mean to kill you.”
The snow fell far behind without notice..
‘Jamard, just… You felt it too?’
- Yeah, I never thought something like this was possible..
rotation of origin.
Obviously, that allowed him to make movements that were different from usual..
I feel like something is tickling.
I felt this way once before..
‘no way….’
It was similar to the tingly feeling Karen felt when she climbed over the wall while fighting the Yaksha..
‘okay… perhaps.’
I didn't know if this could be a clue to the next staircase..
While Kangseol was summarizing his enlightenment, Jakcha turned around and spoke to Bram..
“Bram, I don't think this method is appropriate..”
“…….”
“Bram!”
Bram ignored Zakcha's words for a moment, but when he shouted again, he approached him..
thud…
thud…
“okay… Looking for something suitable... What is there??”
thud…
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure…
Bram's size was so huge that it could not even be compared to Zakcha..
“huh? tell me.”
“…Am I sane??”
“Tsk tsk… sanity?”
Wow!!
Bram grabs Zakcha's collar and pulls him up..
Jakcha looked calm even though his feet were off the ground..
“When did this Bram ever seem sane??”
“…Negotiations are broken. You're kicking away Irizard's grace. I will definitely regret this..”
“I'm not looking forward to it.”
grasp…
Zakcha shakes off Bram and flutters his cape and retreats..
“go back!”
“It's good!”
“Meeeee profit!”
Crom came to his senses and shouted, pointing his staff at Snowfall..
“Let's wait and see, I'll let you die a horrible death.!”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Meeeee profit!”
As the moles hurriedly retreated, Bram approached Kangseol this time..
thud…
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“human.”
“I won?”
“the power….”
Seeing the ferocity in Bram's eyes, Bron quickly stepped forward..
“Brother, now that the uninvited guest is gone, may we continue our conversation??”
“……Come to me when the sun sets.”
“…That's right.”
thud…
thud…
As Bram left the place with his warriors, Bronn approached Snowfall..
“Lucky for us. I got a little taste of Irizard's power..”
“It’s encroachment… It was dangerous.”
“Tsk tsk… Yes, how did you feel about dealing with Genshin's power indirectly??”
Kang Seol took out a crystal ball with a white bird engraved on it and laughed..
“It might be worth a try.”
[Succeeds in stealing special items.]
[Achieve the special achievement ‘It’s a thief!’.]
[Obtain the special title “Phantom Thief”.]
* * *
Before the sun sets, the group is assigned a tent that is too embarrassing to call a lodging..
Snowfall was assigned a place next to Yeba and Ishii's tent..
There is quite a bit of time left before evening..
Wow!…
Snowfall, looking at the bluish crystal, confirmed the information on the crystal..
[Mysterious: Crystal at Dawn]
Class: Wonder
Appropriate level: None
Weight: 0.1kg
Crystal created by a legendary wizard.
After the wizard disappeared, his whereabouts were unknown for a while, but he appeared again in the world..
Special ability: Exudes frigid power.
very simple phrase.
As soon as Kang Seol held the crystal in her hands, she trembled at the huge energy she felt..
- I feel it! I can feel it! Azran's power!
Even though no one called, I personally completed the verification of authenticity..
During the battle, Snowfall used Branca's power to create ice that looked exactly like crystal. It was his intention to do so from the beginning, but he pushed Chrome to swap the dawn crystal with ice that looked exactly like it..
‘I thought it would work... It works.’
Zakcha intervened in a timely manner and Chrome did not notice this until he left..
Snowfall has been taken with great effort, but has not yet decided how to use it..
‘Forged and used as weapons, I have sorrow….’
Karen, Jamad, Karuna.
They all had decent weapons, and even if you made a weapon using crystals, there was no guarantee that it would produce better results than these weapons..
Because they were compatible with ice-related powers, Jammad, who could use ice magic, and Ur, who had the frozen truth, were suitable. However, Jamard's main force was the power of the earth, and Ur could not wear equipment..
‘I gave up on making it with equipment. then….’
he frowned.
“It means you have to swallow it.….”
In fact, the way Azran used the Dawn Crystal was also like this..
He swallowed the crystal to strengthen his magic.
Of course, the crystal is bigger than the throat, so it must have been melted with magic..
“If you swallow... who?”
who will swallow.
It was believed that Ur should naturally swallow the snowfall. He was also the one who inherited Azran's power..
However, there was a reason why this was avoided.
‘What problems will arise again?….’
A long time ago, when Kangseol left the south, he suffered from trouble once due to the Yeongsaenghwan he took..
The relics left behind by the legendary 10 possessed extraordinary power, so even if it was snowfall, using that power without any problem was only a dream possible..
‘What if Ur swallows the crystal and comes back three years later??’
It was inevitable that such a terrible situation would keep lingering in my mind. Because I had a similar experience once..
- Well, there's a way.
Ur presented a solution to Kangseol.
- It's risky for me to swallow, and useless for you to swallow.?
‘okay.’
- Then he can swallow it..
Whioooooooo…
All clones were created in front of the snowfall..
A figure that looks just like him.
“ah!”
- Tsk tsk… It's simple..
the least risky action.
In fact, Ur was the summon that used all of Snowfall's clones most efficiently..
Snowfall hesitated for a moment, then moved all her clones..
All the clones took the crystal into their mouths..
Jeokjeok…
The crystal broke into pieces, turned into powder, and was sucked into the mouths of all clones..
Ppajik…
I'm falling in love…
[Every clone swallows the crystal of dawn.]
[I'm frozen by a force I can't handle.]
Blah blah blah blah…
Snowflake frowned as she saw all the clones frozen like frozen people..
“Is it a failure??”
- That can't be possible, send him back. I'll research how to use it..
“okay.”
Whirling…
Kang Seol controls all the clones and sends them through the Gate of Nothingness. In fact, it was as if I had already reaped the rewards of this adventure..
After a while.
“Let's go together.”
“okay.”
Snowfall headed to Bram's residence with Bron and Burtul..
And, I received an unexpected answer..
“Go back, Bron. The frost demons cannot be together..”
“…what? What now….”
“I'll say it again. As for the frost devil… I can't be with you..”
“…….”
It was a shocking answer.
‘Did Frostghost not intend to get involved in this war in the first place??’
There's something unsettling about thinking that way..
Snowfall quietly observed the atmosphere..
“Is that so? me who banished you….”
“No, that's not it. we are….”
“Shameless, Bram..”
“…Brutul.”
“After causing pain to my mother with those hands,….”
“Brutul! Don't step forward! This….”
“You deserved to be exiled! that day… That day we….”
Snowfall raised one eyebrow..
“You... I believed it….”
Bram reacted to Burtul's words..
That too violently.
“Well, it’s just as they said… We have committed an indelible sin and it is an unforgivable sin..”
“then! Aren't we called to atone?!”
Burtul smiled faintly..
“…I couldn't escape.”
“…….”
“The curse of the heroic spirits... It made it impossible for us to escape from bondage. we… still hungry.”
“that….”
Kang Seol and Jamard seemed to know roughly how the situation was going..
‘Did he kill his own people out of bloodthirstiness? … That's why he was expelled.’
- It's a common occurrence, and it often happens when a troll can't escape the blood curse. However, the Frost Demon may have been greedy for too much power..
Snowfall shakes her head at Jamard’s whisper..
“…That can't be possible. Didn’t they say there was definitely a way! You asked me to give you time!”
Secrets revealed as the story progresses.
It seemed like the banishment of Frostghost had already been discussed between Bronn and Bram..
“…Wrong. After Branca died, there was no shaman who could appease the spirits. They all died from the curse of the heroic spirits while attending a memorial service. now….”
“Branca… Branca… Is it you again? Absolutely….”
At that time, Bronn muttered as if he realized something..
“Branca… Branca….”
Then poof! And he turned his head and looked at the snowfall..
“Branca!”
