Regress and Eat

As soon as I crossed the gate, the guild members in the tower, including Arthur, were frozen with flesh.

“Hehe!”

Hunters set foot on ice swallow screams over time.

He suppressed the pain of shearing his skin with superhuman endurance.

We can't reveal the tracker to a target who doesn't know how close it is.

Arthur looked down at the handset.

The current temperature is displayed.

Sixty-three degrees below zero! ”

All you can see is white ice.

It was a world covered by thick ice walls.

Arthur ponders for a moment.

‘Even though it is an inoperable temperature for ordinary people. ’

Look around the group.

All SS and above hunters.

There was no need for an Awakening that far exceeded that of an ordinary human being to verb at this temperature.

However, it wasn't that Arthur felt cold, so he did magic right away.

[Wide area cold resistance (Rank: SS)!]

The waves of magical power silently surround the area, revealing the faces of the distorted hunters.

At the same time, Arthur's Mana starts slowly shearing.

‘We need to do this as soon as possible. ’

Arthur did not doubt that once he got into his hands, he would spit everything out.

‘No matter how SS class I was, no one had survived. ’

It was not the first time he tortured an SS class hunter.

He was confident that no one could endure the brutal techniques that had been sharpened for more than 20 years, and he was confident that he knew how to inflict maximum pain on the Awakened than anyone else in the world.

‘A young man like that would dare to be arrogant in front of me. Soon I'll make you cry and beg you to kill me. ’

He gives the Wizard his eyes, then nods and chants the spell again.

[Trail seeker!]

At the same time as the trigger, the Wizard's eyes turn transparent and the blue light is hidden.

He looks around and focuses.

With magic that overcomes the weaknesses of the [fluoroscopic] family, whose effectiveness is limited to a certain distance, it implements a non-physical footprint that shows the path through which the object was moved.

This time, when the Wizard's gaze fell, he turned to the sky instead.

“· · Already more than 2 km away. ”

Make sure you don't hear anything before you open your mouth.

Already?

The wizard continues to speak while still casting his gaze far away.

“It's flying. ”

“Levitation? You've mastered magic skills? No, someone else copied it? ”

If the copied was true, it was a clue to take the assessment of Seo Jinwook's unique skills to the next level.

‘There's no one here who has a television right now. Can you even remember a skill you copied once for a long time? What a fraudulent skill! ’

The watchful wizard shakes his head.

“I don't think it's magic. There's no magic spreading wings from your back, is there? ”

“Yes, an item! ”

My eyes flashed.

“What's the flight speed? ”

“You have to have a revision of the S rank to keep up. ”

A darker shadow of greed falls upon Arthur's face.

‘I've never heard of great performance! ’

Items that will be compared to S-rank magic will be priced enormously.

I admire Arthur so much.

In fact, I didn't realize that [Stardust Wing] was doing more than that and was deliberately slowing down.

Tate, the only close-knit member of the team, commented.

“If the distance has already been cleared and you already have an aerial artifact, shouldn't it be better to wait outside the gate and then attack when you get out? I'll be on my guard then. ”

This was not my favorite battlefield for the proximity system, where I could neither use the levitation nor learn cold resistance.

But Arthur rejects Tate's proposal on a dagger.

“He is the most important hunter the Korean government considers. If he disappears suddenly, he'll be inclined to put out a BOLO. Considering the dungeon trespass charges. But if there's any evidence of our involvement, it's annoying. It's best to deal with it in the dungeon. ”

Decided to track it down before it got any further.

“Coming right up! Tate, take care of one of them! ”

Three wizards and one prosecutor fly through the freezing cold air.

Whew!

As you begin your flight, your temperature slows down faster, and each time, your Cold Resistance spell sucks Arthur's Mana even more.

Gulp.

A puff of Mana potions grows and watches the front.

Let's do it.

“There he is! ”

Indeed, there was Seo Jin-wook, who penetrated the cloudless sky in a straight line.

A pair of wings made of powder of light are clearly visible on a large backpack covering half of the body.

“What, that backpack? It's too big for a normal combat backpack. ”

“Ah! Your altitude is dropping. ”

You begin lowering yourself toward the icy earth.

“Shall we attack?”

“The moment you land and stop moving, you release the restraining spell. ”

“Yes.”

His trajectory falling into a diagonal line is being gazed upon by the Awakenings of the Tower · ·.

“What is that? ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Beyond the white horizon, an unusual structure appeared at first sight.

A giant architecture made of clear ice.

“It's close to the altar. ”

It was similar to what appeared mostly in the Apocalypse Dungeon.

The difference is that it seems to have been carved into a huge whole block of ice.

‘Usually · · if something like that appears in the dungeon. ’

It means expensive items and points for obtaining them.

Arthur pauses for a moment on his plan to attack.

“Wait, let's see what he's doing over there. ”

[Aurora of Stability] and that unknown flying item in the world made it clear that Seo Jin-wook had some secrets. The secret to discovering items that no one else even knows exist.

Is there a connection to that altar?

“Won't you just kill it and torture it all?" Give me everything you know. ”

“If you do not refine the question and start with a major torture, you will lose efficiency. To distinguish whether you're lying or hiding something, it's good to know as much as possible and start from scratch. ”

“Ahh · · I knew it! ”

They observe quietly using hidden family magic.

I walked to the center of the altar in an invisible gaze.

And there was something not expected of everyone.

“· · · · · · · Flame? ”

The clear ice, replacing the altar roof, permeates the warm sunlight and focuses on a point like a magnifying glass.

At the gathering place of the sun, there was an ice torch, and a light green flame was blazing above it.

In an environment so cold and windy, the blazing green flame could not be ordinary.

‘Obviously, it's an item! ’

Besides, the place that burns is on the ice.

The appearance of the mysterious altar overlapped to create an unusual atmosphere.

“Oh, that! I see!”

A flash of lightning in my head.

Arthur realized who he was.

The Hunters are hot these days!

Shout out your name.

“[Flame of Energy]! ”

From the moment the Centers supplied more than a thousand customers, the secret between the rich could no longer be maintained.

Rumors of items that are useless to a high-quality Awakener, but that the Grand Codes are looking for upside down, spread among the Hunters, and those who instinctively searched the dungeons all over the world.

With regard to the source, the Washington market closed its mouths, and if forced to suppress it, it turned the black market into an enemy around the world, leaving it no choice but to poke at the dungeon.

The precious thing that literally calls value, which was unable to reveal its origins despite the persistent search of national hunters.

“No, it comes from a place like this? I had no idea!”

A joyful look spreads among the hunters.

“Yes! Items like that are mined in fields covered with fire or magma! This is a brainstorming shift. ”

Seo Jin-wook pulled out a branch from his backpack and a green light lit up on the ice altar.

I put it in a special container and spread its wings of glowing light.

“How do I do that? Shall we attack now?”

“Wait a minute.”

Arthur's eyes became deeper.

“I'm not ready to go back right away. ”

His predictions were correct.

Instead of returning to the soaring Seongwook Gate, we started moving further away by turning the direction.

“What if there are a few more altars like it? ”

The size of the flame you just saw was ridiculous compared to the volume released on the market.

His attendants recognize his concern and nod.

“Yes, sir. Are you suggesting we keep tracking?" ”

“Yeah, I'll keep an eye on him. ”

After starting to fly again, Arthur smiled quietly, looking at Seo Jin-wook's back.

‘More treasure trove than I ever imagined. ’

The smile on your mouth becomes darker.

‘Now, go ahead and dig through every underlay you've got. In front of me!'

The surrounding temperatures were getting lower and lower as they moved.

*

Then Seo Jin-wook picked up another item that looked like a flame of vitality and the process was exactly the same.

After gathering, he springs toward the sky, shifting his direction a little further this time instead of heading toward the gate.

However, this time, the travel time was longer than before.

Unlike just a few minutes ago, it was already 20 minutes ago.

“Mr. Guild Officer. ”

A servant carefully speaks.

“I think you need to make a decision now. ”

The problem now is that temperatures have started to drop rapidly from a point in time.

The terminal is already pointing to 100 degrees below zero.

“The cold has begun to break through the resistance spell. ”

Even an SS class hunter makes his body shrug and slow down.

Arthur grunts.

“Not anymore. Seo Jin-wook, did he cover his whole body with cold resistance items? Well, you'd be prepared to go in and out of places like this. ”

Nod and instruct.

“We intercept in mid-air instead of waiting for landing. Before attacking, fill your mana barrels with potions. ”

Mana is in a fairly worn state due to the long duration of the revision, and Arthur is still resistant to cold temperatures, which was more consuming.

Gulp, gulp.

“Well, then. ”

Just before issuing intercept instructions.

“Huh? It's descending. ”

I started lowering the altitude as if I was waiting.

Looking at it, Arthur said,

“Good timing. Whatever's here, the trail stops here. ”

“Yes!”

Suddenly, Seo Jin-wook set foot on the glacier-covered land.

It was already quite a distance from the gate.

“Huh?"

A wizard mutters curiously.

“There's nothing here. ”

Unlike where Seo Jin-wook sat before that, there was no ice altar.

Look beyond the horizon, but there's nothing around.

“I can't watch any more. Capture them immediately.”

As Arthur looked down, he frowned.

‘What the hell, that guy? ’

Seo Jin-wook stood still as if he was waiting for himself.

He has a completely different attitude than he has been so busy moving.

"No way! ’

The four who were chasing Seo Jin-wook are completely hidden.

They climb down to the ground, keeping themselves hidden. In addition, three people, except for the proximity system, prepare the order in one piece.

The moment the runestone shines.

Pot!

Mana is overwhelmed and the hideout they've been keeping is broken.

And then, very slowly. Seo Jin-wook's gaze shifted and stopped toward them.

Seeing that look, Hunters feel disgusted.

There was no sense of crisis, embarrassment, agitation, or awe on his face.

Whoo-hoo!

The three wizards cast their spells together.

Neutralizing chains! (Rank: S)]

The moment the three magicians covered the sky.

Seo Jin-wook blocked the sinus line in preparation for rush, and the exam's eyes widened.

The short gap in the moment of activation is enough time for an SS class hunter to dig.

However, Seo Jin-wook continued to stand there.

Glug-ug-ug!

The air distorts and a thick chain is summoned to bind him.

A skill used by Seo Jin-wook against Park Chang-hee and Black Dragon.

A chain that has been broken through the laws of matter is summoned in triplicate to restrain movement.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Seo Jin-wook's face was calm even when he was tied up.

Arthur Clifford's feeling of camouflage has now gone up to the top of his head.

The senses sound a constant alarm. This is, something's wrong.

And · · · · dangerous.

“· · · · · · · What are you hiding? ”

Questions had overlapping meanings.

How many rare items were excavated?

And in this situation, why do you keep that lazy look on your face?

Bang, bang.

The anxiety of taking pictures of temples in line with the heartbeat was rising in the instinctive realm.

‘It can't be. Even an SS class hunter can't get away with this! ’

Seo Jin-wook finally opened his mouth.

“What are you going to do with me? ”

Arthur's eyes become more fierce.

“Cocky kid. You'd better pour out everything you know. About Aurora of Stability and the Flame of Energy! And throw up everything else you're hiding. ”

“Otherwise? Will you torture me?”

Arthur smiles bitterly.

“You know your destiny. ”

“So you're just gonna take me all the way to England? ”

“Yes!”

“So, are you going to take me to the seventh floor of the basement of the tower headquarters? Right next door to your old man's torture chamber. The room next to the man who suffered for years without dying because of your misplaced orders. ”

“· · · · · · How could you! ”

At that moment.

“Huh?"

The opposing Pokémon is stunned. The accuser squirms, scavenging for a confident, sloppy backpack.

“Yi, this! ”

I opened a special container, but there was no green flame in it.

“No way!”

Arthur goes to his teeth.

Seo Jin-wook speaks in a calm tone, wrapped in a chain.

“Yes, it was a fake. · You tend to rely too much on [emotion] magic, even if you don't get within a meter of it, you can't trigger it. ”

“Profit!”

Arthur struggles to suppress the rising anger.

One question filled my mind.

Why the hell not?

Did you lure yourself all the way out here with a bunch of fake crap like that?

Arthur didn't know it, but the answer to his question was' pushing him ’here now.

“Huh, huh?! ”

The Wizard cries out in embarrassment.

Whoo-hoo!

The atmosphere changes rapidly, and a violent wind hovers around them.

And...

Parker!

“Terminal!”

Tough enough to break through the SS class of cold resistance magic, they even froze and destroyed their belongings.

Seo Jin-wook smiles quietly while he waits for the extreme cold air currents that are being blown into this place.

“Thanks for coming all this way. ”

The user looks at the target and mutters to itself.

‘SSS class of one, SS class of three. ’

Silence, activates the skill.

Pa!

“No!”

The three-quarters of the chain that had bound Seo Jin-wook disappeared in an instant.

“Dispel?! ”

Arthur's thoughts are complicated.

"Whose skill was it that you copied? There can't be anyone in Korea who has mastered Class S displays! ’

I tried hard to swallow it.

Let's stay calm!

Three wizards cast their spells simultaneously, one of which was cancelled.

An enormous Mana is consumed to invalidate a Class S magic.

‘Yes, the magic of the remaining two is intact. Mana can't touch this much · · ·! ’

[dispel]

Pa!

[dispel]

Pa!

Arthur could not believe his eyes.

Class S display for three consecutive occasions.

The opposing Pokémon doesn't drink a sip of Mana Potion in the meantime.

If that's even possible.

“This is not a human jar! ”

Even at this moment, the fierce cold wind was eating Arthur's Mana at a rapid rate.

Before he even finished speaking.

Shhh!

Seo Jin-wook swung his sword at them!
