Chapter 806 – Winter in the Capital

There were no raids during the night.

There was a little bit of a faint sound, but it wasn’t a big problem. Thanks to that, I was able to sleep very well. My body is overflowing with energy, perhaps because I ate the rice I brought and slept well in a warm place.

Today I am in perfect condition.

“Is everyone ready?”
“Yes.”
“No problem.”
“It’s in perfect condition!”

I woke up a little early and got ready for the day.

When I asked if they were ready, everyone nodded. When I checked the faces of the girls who had just washed their faces, they didn’t look tired at all.

Rather, in terms of sleeping time, I slept more than when I was at home or in the city. If I sleep outside, I spend more time sleeping because I don’t have sex.

Anyway, I’ll have to go soon.

“If nothing happened yesterday, they’re probably still fighting. If they’re fighting, join in moderation and go in together. If everyone has retreated, let’s rob an empty house.”

This was the plan for today.

Anyway, they arrived in front of the palace at the same timing. If they’re still fighting, join in moderation, and if they’re not, just take it all by itself.

But to be honest, it would be very sad if the knights were still fighting. There will definitely be friction over the loot issue. Whether it’s the essence of a higher level spirit or the evidence of the spirit realm, it’s still better if we take it all.

Still, it’s safer with knights.

“I think it would be good to be careful today. The original girl is wary of the power of Arcina and the power of the spirit realm. You might be able to use that level of magic.”
“I’m already nervous even without the witch saying anything. I don’t know about the generals, but I’ll do my best against ‘real’ opponents.”

Karin answered Risha’s words.

“No, do you mean my sister is all nervous?”
“Even my sister is nervous. To be honest, I haven’t had a proper fight in years, but today seems to be the day, doesn’t it?”

Karin’s face her was serious. She is literally the expression of her seasoned warrior ahead of battle. When had she ever seen a face like this? No. She wasn’t She looks like Karin is determined to give her all her, but she’s never been like that before.

It is beautiful too.

“It would be nice if he just specialized in the ability to create ice monsters, but usually those guys aren’t good at just one thing. You have to be nervous when you do it. And it’s not like we’ve ever seen a higher level spirit.”

As she befits her experienced warrior, Karin voiced that opinion.

“Yeah. That’s right. Karin is right. Then Katt. It’s always been that way, but lastly, how about a tactical check?”
“Good.”

At Cloudy’s words, we all gathered in a circle.

Our tactics themselves are the same as before.

Karin and I stand on the front line. And after that, Cloudy sits down and monitors the battle situation and decides to provide support when appropriate, and the rest deal with magic in the back row.

The wizards at the back are Risha, Winia, and Hildeda. And there’s Ari, but I can’t use my strength today, so I pass. In any case, everyone has an understanding of offensive or defensive magic, so backups are good.

There is no need to worry as Liz-noona is protecting them.

If you do this, you will be able to hit Dagul without any problems even if the great devil comes. Still, as the opponent was the opponent, I understood this once again.

“Then I’ll watch the situation and look for an opportunity. But if it’s dangerous, I’ll go right in. Katt and Karin should keep that in mind and act.”
“If a warrior like Miss Cloudy provides cover from behind, we can fight without any problems.
“Yeah. I’ll do that. Thanks for trusting me.”
“Because I know your skills well. It’s natural.”

Cloudy and Karin said with their arms crossed.

“Now I’m going to slaughter the evil Arcina…! My soul seems to be boiling! Only an appropriate judge will be able to set the will of Fusion Confucianism right!”
“Fufufu, I don’t think there’s anything strange about being a cleric instead of a succubus.”
“Already changed jobs to something similar!”

A fusion Confucian nun.

“Ugh… I feel really uncomfortable this time. When spring comes, I’ll have to intensively train my abilities. I really don’t think it’s helpful…”
“No, it’s because Ari is fine. It’s thanks to Ari that I found the Manticore last time, right?”
“But…”
“It’s okay. Anyway, let’s go now.”

I have to go now.

“Isn’t the bastard missing something?”

Said Winia as she straightened my dressing.

Hehe, Winia. Have you ever seen anything missing in my life? There is no one as thorough as I am.”
“Um… Are you insane?”
“No.”

Damn it.

“Well, anyway, wizards, don’t worry. I’ll protect you. Oh, if I knew it would end like this, I’d bring the gauntlet, even if it’s a little uncomfortable.”
“I’ll bring it up next time and see you.”

She checked the condition of her body her and all her equipment her before setting off for the final time.

I’ve been destroying the ice monsters really badly over the past few days as I’ve been making my way. Arquina’s power must have been consumed as much.

In such a state, last night two battalions of Kingdom Knights and Master Knight. And the Holy Knights and the allied forces made up of lords and wizards received a joint attack.

No matter how strong a spirit is, and even if it draws on the power of another world, it is bound to be a burden.

Whatever it is, you’ll find out when you start.

After stretching as a group, we headed towards the Ice Palace.

*           *

After marching for about an hour, we were able to reach the place where we retreated yesterday. Now, a little further from here is the Ice Palace.

But… I haven’t heard any sound since a while ago.
Even the grotesque birds are not visible in the sky.

ㅡIt is quiet.

“Bastards? Sisters? How are you so quiet? Am I the only one who can’t hear anything?”

Winia said with a question.

“…Yeah. I can’t hear anything. I’m sure.”
“It’s so quiet. As if nothing was there.”
“It’s quiet.”

Cloudy’s ears perked up, and Risha and Karin touched their lips.

“Uh. I can’t hear either.”
“Is it not?”

Don’t hear the sound

“Isn’t it all fighting and then retreating?”

Said Ari.

“I think it’s because it doesn’t make a sound. I think it would have been more fucking noisy if it had been occupied. It looks like it just pulled it back after fighting yesterday.”
“Huh… Are you going to do that?”
“Go check it out and you’ll find out.”

Anyway, it’s progress.

On the way to the palace, there was no sound at all. And there are no raids like yesterday. Could it be that it was almost destroyed?

“Ah, that’s right. Lisa. Can’t you feel some unusual magical energy from that side of the palace?”
“She’s trying to confirm it as well, but… She can’t really feel it. I feel the same energy in this space itself, so it’s hard to identify.”
“It’s a mysterious space after all…!”

How much more did it go

“Oh.”

We arrived at what looked like the front yard of the palace. Looking at it, it was a wide space with many other roads besides the one we came out of.

We fought hard here yesterday.

“Wow.”
“This…”

The evidence was all over the place.

ㅡ Chew.

A riot of meaning.

The situation made no sense, so I reflexively pulled out the V-Gal. It was nothing but the bodies of people scattered all over the place. There were quite a few serious damages, and the space itself was bloody. Of course, all the blood that flowed was also frozen.

It is literally in the middle of a battlefield.

“…”

I don’t even feel any sign of presence or movement.

It’s like an abandoned space after a big battle.

“Didn’t they collect the body? That means the situation was a bit urgent… It seems these bastards lost. That’s why we retreated in a hurry last night without even collecting the body.”

Karin offers a sober analysis.

“But isn’t it a little strange? There must have been a master knight in the Holy Knights. Even though they didn’t win, they retreated in such a hurry… From my sister’s point of view, this is a bit strange. What is so strange is that the enemy is strong after all. It means to do something or use a strange move. Anyway, it means that it is tricky.”
“…I can see it. It seems that Arcina is stronger than I thought.”

It’s not serious.

“What is really happening? Such a terrible tragedy…!”
“I see? Isn’t this hiding something really strong? Looking at the armor, it looks like there are knights of the kingdom.”

Hilde and Liz noona said that while clinging tightly to each other.

“I think this is a bit like that. Isn’t the strongest sticking out like there was an ice dragon?”
“It really does look like that.”

All reasonable thoughts.

“But seeing that they didn’t make inhuman structures out of human corpses… This means that Arcina’s side of her is also in a very urgent situation? At least there is no time for such a mischief.”
“I guess so.”

At my words, Lisa nodded her head.

We explored the surroundings for a while.

The corpses were all ordinary soldiers or kingdom knights. There were quite a number of them, but the paladin’s corpse was nowhere to be seen. Other than that, there was nothing else I could find out.

Anyway, after we finished our exploration, we headed towards the ice palace in front of us.

“Wow.”

The palace was huge.

It was extremely splendid, almost as tall as a skyscraper, even though it was clearly made of pure ice. However, it was not the type of building I had seen so far.

The design is a bit unusual, but is it Arcina’s original sense? I don’t know if the spirit understands art… I’m not sure, but I think it’s like an ancient style.

“Lisha. Cloudy. And Hilde. Have you ever seen a building style like this?”
“Hmm… I don’t know if the bonnyeo is not well versed in architecture.”
“I don’t even know Mama… I don’t think she’s ever been seen in the desert either.”
“I can’t guess at all. It’s a human building… But why are you asking the three of us?”

Uh

“No, I was just asking.”
“Umm…”
“Let’s go in quickly.”

Anyway we went into that gorgeous ice palace.

—-A very wide entrance.

And the central hall that appeared as soon as I entered.

The inside was empty. The basic outline was like that of a palace, but there was no furniture or anything like that. Nothing unusual except for the ice chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

It was characterized by the fact that there were many stairs going up.

“Nothing?”

Winia, who was very nervous, looked around and said that. I also didn’t feel anything special. It’s quiet as if we were alone.

Even the ice knights who were running so damn hard were nowhere to be seen. I thought it must be filling the inside, but most of it was consumed in yesterday’s battle, and now I’m only guarding the important parts?

The important place must be where Arcina is.

“Katt. It seems that the troops are concentrated in the place where Arcina is. Should I say that we have gathered for the last defense now? It is clear that we took a lot of damage during the fight yesterday.”
“Oh. I just thought that too. Exactly.”

It worked.

“But… It must mean that there is enough power to repel the knights.”
“It’s as my sister said. Anyway, let’s go up. There’s nothing on the first floor.”
“Yes.”

I went straight up to the second floor.

It was then.

—-Stop.

Risha hesitated for a moment, and we all got into a fighting stance.

“…I feel like I can faintly sense a different aura up there now.”
“Okay. All right. What about Hilde?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Then let’s go where Risha said. Risha. Can you track it down?”
“Once you go higher up, I think you’ll find out.”

It should be like that too.

Risha’s words became a good milestone. Whatever it is, after all, there is something suspicious somewhere in this palace. It must be… Arquina who caused this situation. Like that, I went upstairs, searching through each floor.

—-Finally.

We arrived at a floor that seemed important at first glance.

In the front was a very large and wide door. Yes, a door big enough to be said to be the door to the main ballroom inside the palace.

“…”

—-Sweep.

Risha dyed her nails black. A black aura rises from beneath her feet. The casting of something seemed clear to her, and she said she was done.

“I think there’s something beyond this door.”

Good night.

Now let’s see the end.

“Is everyone ready? Let’s stick with the tactics. If it seems dangerous, we’ll retreat right away. Stay calm.”

When I told my wives with determination, Karin laughed.

“Kyahehe, hey. Husband. But my sister has more experiences like this, right?”
“Huh-huh, yes. Cut. Just do what you always do.”

This.

“What kind of leisure do older sisters have? Then open the door.”

Anyway, the preparations are complete. I pushed the door with Karin. Just like the soldiers, they got away from the wall and prepared to deal with the attack from within.

ㅡ Kiki profit.

The doors all opened, and we went inside.

“Huh.”

Inside, the solemn landlords were waiting for us.

ㅡ go oh oh

Ice woman.

“…”

No, it was a female spirit that looked more like an ice queen. A height that looks over 2m. Her skin was as white as her eyes, and her hair was her was a clear sky blue, as if seeing Liz’s sister.

Of course, Liz’s older sister is more beautiful.

Wearing an old-fashioned white dress, it was floating with a strange-looking staff, the hem of which was so long and voluminous that her legs were not visible. She had her eyes closed and was wearing a very beautiful crown.

After that, the wings of ice are hanging. Wonderful wings, each one of which is made of ice.

“…These fucking bastards.”

It wasn’t just the wings behind Arcina’s back in her.

ㅡWhee woo woo.

Gate. Yes, there was a gate. What the gate illuminated was not as dark as that of the Demon Gate, but a part of a glacier.

There, cold air was blowing like an inhuman air conditioner.

Where is that?
It’s not hard to guess.

—-But.

Apparently, that wasn’t the main thing.

Beside Arcina floated in the air a two-meter-tall man with a body made of blue ice and very precise and muscular. It was literally a bodybuilder made of ice. Fortunately, the genitals weren’t carved, so I wasn’t embarrassed, but the aura he exuded was anything but unusual.

It’s not just because she’s naked.

ㅡIt is strong.

There was no face.

There are no facial features like a mannequin.

Only large horns of ice sprouted from both temples.

“Doesn’t you even say hello to a guest? Does your mother teach you etiquette?

We walked towards them, maintaining battle ranks. Even without being aware of it, insulting words came out of my mouth right away.

Now, the duo is our target.
But are they the only ones here?

“…Hateful and hateful humans.”

In an instant, a profound male voice resounds.
It was a somehow magical voice.

“Welcome to my palace.”

It was the voice of that faceless ice muscle man.
My palace?

“Who are you?”

That seemed like something Arcina had to say.

Also, this kid is the culprit.

“Hasin-Eluyak.”

The guy revealed his name.

“You humans say, I am the ruler of ice.”

Declared his identity his.

“Just say I’m the Ice Spirit King, you bastard.”
“…”

Expected sea.
