Winter Castle (6)

One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.

This is a sentence she saw in a book when she was young.

Agnes couldn’t quite understand this sentence, so he once asked his father what he meant.

One life is a tragedy, why is the life of a million a statistic?

There are a million more than one, so shouldn’t it be natural for the tragedy to grow bigger?

at that word. Agnes’ father stroked her hair with a bitter expression on his face.

“Someday I will understand that sentence. If you don’t understand, that’s better.”

Agnes now. He understood a passage written by a dictator.

“aah!”

a groan is heard Blood splattered everywhere. The severed arm rolls around the wall.

Her eyes flutter wildly. Countless lives are being lost.

It seems as if everyone is united and throwing themselves towards the flames.

the flames of war.

She faced the flame for the first time.

The war caused her fear and disgust.

Agnes fled from the fire that seemed to devour it at any moment.

“Huh, huh. Ugh.”

He tried to catch his breath, but Agnes couldn’t. Rather, it is out of breath.

Her head didn’t quite get the situation right now.

The heads of orcs roam the white snowfields.

With the screams of soldiers and monsters as a mourning song, the performance begins in all directions.

The wall is their stage, and the survivors are the audience.

The audience stood on stage one by one and died like that.

She closed her eyes tightly at the sight she couldn’t stand with her sanity.

A person’s life is lost in vain. It is truly a tragic tragedy.

Those who ate together until a few days ago are dying.

The hands of the knights who shook hands two days ago were scattered.

It was terrible. It’s hard to bear even one death. Dozens or hundreds of lives are lost.

The body, dominated by fear, could not move at all, and the magic did not even think of unfolding.

I tried to calm myself down in my mind, but to no avail.

Her mind was already infected with the virus of war.

woo much!

An orc who climbed up the wall is glaring at her. The Battle X in my hand couldn’t be more terrifying than that.

‘I have to stop… .’

The body doesn’t move at all. as if it had become ice.

She trembled and looked up.

The orc was holding a Battle X with a vicious smile.

If you hit that, you die instantly. Agnes certainly knows that.

But there was nothing she could do.

The magic does not unfold, and the body does not move.

An attack that cannot be prevented or avoided.

She closed her eyes. I wish I could die pain-free if possible.

spatula.

A horrifying noise pierced my ears.

It was definitely the sound of something being cut.

Is the neck cut off or the chest? maybe it’s an instant death.

Countless thoughts ran through her mind.

But there was no feeling.

“What the hell are you doing here?”

Agnes’ eyes lit up at the cold voice he heard.

In front of him stood Deron, covered in orcs’ blood.

He was looking at her with a cold gaze.

Blood was dripping from the sword, but I couldn’t even imagine how many orcs had been cut.

While Agnes was bewildered and hesitant, Deron opened his mouth.

“This is the performance you have been longing for. It’s not just about catching a couple of orcs, it’s a battle that really comes and goes.”

Bell came over to her. Lightning-type magic emanates from his hand. She looked at Agnes with a worried expression.

Deron continued.

“If you want to fall, you can fall out. You may have yet to get to the actual battle.”

However. Deron adds.

“If you want to experience a real battle on this wall, you have to come prepared for it.”

“If you are determined to do that, follow me.”

After saying those words, Deron ran along the wall. Wherever his feet touched, the blood of orcs was splattered.

It was clearly different from her. Belle said as she unfolded the magic by her side.

“it’s okay. People who experience war for the first time are hardened in their hands and feet and ruled by fear.”

At her encouragement, Agnes slowly opened her mouth.

“then… Who is that person?”

Bell’s gaze turned to Deron. While holding his sword, he frantically slashed the orcs.

The orcs collapse helplessly in a sword attack that seems to be possessed.

Deron was smiling brightly. I’m not getting tired, so I’m running faster and faster.

I can’t even believe I’m sick.

Bell paused for a moment.

“Out of field. It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that. Usually, like you, they are terrified or dominated by the heat of war.”

Despite Bell’s answer, her gaze turned to Deron.

The author is her goal. A person I want to overcome someday.

Agnes struggled to mourn. It was heavy, but not so much that I couldn’t move it.

Bell said in a worried tone.

“You don’t need to think about what that guy said, junior. That guy is literally out of the question.”

“I told him to follow me.”

“that… You can go later.”

Agnes shook his head. Deron said to follow. Those words are strongly engraved in Agnes’ mind.

“Seniors.”

“Are you really going? That person is different from normal humans.”

“I know.”

“He’s such a cold person. That heat will go out soon.”

“Nevertheless, I want to catch up.”

The fear contained in Agnes’ eyes dispersed. Gradually, but surely.

Power entered the hand holding Jeolyoung. Mana heats the whole body. cycle, and operation.

A white aura forms on the sword. Frost-colored magic spreads.

Bell looked into her eyes and sighed as if he couldn’t help it.

She muttered as she stepped back.

“I wonder if I brought it for nothing.”

Deron had already descended under the wall.

Together with the count’s elite knights, they are sweeping away the orcs.

“Ha ha… .”

Chill is spewing out of the mouth. The wall begins to freeze little by little. Her eyes gleamed.

‘me too… Just like him.’

Agnes’ growth comes from a fighting spirit. If there is a goal there, it grows even faster.

And that target was Deron.

A slayer who dealt with the demon Morax and wiped out the orcs like that.

Her gaze rested on Deron, and then she looked down again.

Green skin monsters are clamoring to climb the castle wall.

Whoa!

Through the rain of arrows, she created an ice staircase.

A transparent staircase supported her feet.

chin, chin, chin.

As she stepped down the stairs, the eyes of the orcs turned to her.

As hungry beasts prey on animals. He ran away dripping with saliva.

But.

There was something the orcs did not realize.

“Isicle Field.”

A sheet of ice spreads from Agnes’ feet.

As the transparent ice spreads under my feet,

covered the snow

A magic circle twitched in her hand.

Magic circles with blue color randomly entangled, then illuminate other patterns.

“Glaceon rose.”

A rose bush that rose from the ice sheet strangled the orcs’ bodies.

Good for soldiers to hit with arrows. As if waiting, a rain of arrows fell.

She confidently marched on the battlefield without a single blood stain.

still not enough You can’t keep up with Deron with a chessboard.

If so, increase the size.

The magic was pulsing. Jeolyoung cries out. You seem to understand the owner’s will.

Agnes clenched his teeth. Mana consumption was quite severe.

However.

damn it.

As much as the magic power is put in, the performance is certain.

An ice sheet that is so large that it cannot be compared to the previous fields.

Ice shards are splashing everywhere. Ice clumps and awl cleared the orcs.

The battlefield is covered with transparent ice. Numerous orcs were tied to roses. In the center is Agnes.

Gorgeous, dignified.

like an empress. Agnes froze the battlefield.

“It’s faster than I thought.”

He muttered, calming the boiling energy.

His gaze was directed toward Agnes, but the sword did not stop cutting through the orcs.

Aurors who have reached intermediate level shine.

Jeolyeong was following her sword path.

“Is that a magic swordsman?”

The Count widened his eyes as if in surprise.

It is understandable that he is surprised. If I had seen it for the first time, I would have been surprised.

Besides, given his position as a magic swordsman, it was obvious that the countess had also put Agnes’s fighting power down.

Breaking that prejudice, Agnes is slashing the orcs while covering the snowfield with transparent ice.

Most of the orcs are tied to the rose bush, so the soldiers’ arrows clean up the remaining orcs.

It didn’t take long for the transparent ice rose to turn red.

Truly an overwhelming sight.

I can’t help but admire I mean, you’ve already reached that stage.

A familiar sight seen in a novel, a description of a typeface.

Agnes’ arcane skill that freezes everyone except allies.

“Glacies Palatium.”

Although only the site was built compared to the palace described in the original work.

If one day she can grow up and build her own palace completely.

‘The world must watch the Empress’s advent.’

Standing alone on the battlefield, blocking the waves of monsters with his own power.

Ice Empress.

How wonderful it was to be able to see it with my own eyes.

I chuckled inside and laughed.
