Chapter 249 – Twisting

Episode 249 – Twist

Blah blah blah!

I opened my eyes to a loud noise.

When I woke up rubbing my eyes, the entire dormitory was in commotion.

I looked outside the window and discovered a towering ice castle on the mountain behind the academy.

“This is crazy!”

That is the Eternal Palace, the transcendental magic of Lennon Maryland, the first head of the Maryland family.

In modern times, it is a sight that can only be seen when the secret of the necklace is solved.

In other words, Scadia had an accident.

I immediately took out my clothes and mask, put them on, and instructed Kenneth.

“I’m going to the castle, and you and Noah observe the situation. Because there may be more possessors that we don’t know about. Do you understand?”

“Uh, yes! “I’ll be watching with Noah!”

“Good. Then I’ll go.”

Grumble!

I opened the window, looked around for signs, and flew up, spreading my wings of flame.

There were already people in front of the castle.

The knights and professors who always protected the academy stopped students from getting closer than a certain distance.

Among them, Verdan and Sara can also be seen.

‘It looks like we’re really close friends now.’

Feeling bitter, I took advantage of the opportunity and landed in front of the entrance.

“Oh! Now, catch it!”

“It’s Eunrang!”

Those who found me too late stretched out their hands to grab me, but it was already too late.

I thrust my fist towards the entrance.

Grrrr!

As opposing forces pour in, the tightly closed door begins to melt.

I threw myself inside before the door regenerated.

Paaaaa!

At that moment, a bright light burst out and completely engulfed my body.

When my vision, which had been colored white, returned to its original state, I was inside the ice palace.

At the same time, an icy coldness erodes the entire body.

That level was enough to freeze an ordinary wizard in one second.

This unique cold erodes internally and destroys it from the inside, so even if the barrier is cast, it breaks right away.

In the end, the barrier needs to be continuously renewed, and this is why you need no chanting.

In normal circumstances, it is not that burdensome, but the moment the battle increases, the wizard experiences his limits.

This is because the brain is overloaded by endless calculations and the consumption of magical power is accelerated.

And if you get tired, that’s it.

In the end, it will be covered in cold and reborn as an ice sculpture.

Of course, I didn’t mind.

Grumbling!

I wrapped the power of the flame around my body, pushed away the cold, and checked the floor.

“It’s been a while since it passed.”

It was only 30 minutes since the ice palace was created in the first place, so it is only natural.

I immediately followed the traces.

Fortunately, I was able to catch up with Skadia before 5 minutes had passed.

“Ha!”

Kwazizig!

The flame spear floating above the head instantly destroys the ice golem’s core.

But unfortunately, there was not just one golem.

Against dozens of golems, she had to fight hard even with her specialty, ice magic, sealed.

It’s literally the worst compatibility.

‘If I hadn’t come, I would have definitely died.’

Even if you manage to break through these golems, you will eventually be killed by the deepest guardian.

I intervened immediately.

*

Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!

While withstanding the onslaught of golems and defeating them one by one, a storm of flames suddenly swirled.

A man can be seen through the rising steam.

‘Eunrang?’

Dazzling silver hair and brilliant golden eyes. Even the suspicious mask on his face. It is exactly the same as what we saw in the tournament.

The flames that engulfed his entire body in the first place were nothing short of proof.

“Why are you here…”

Scadia took a step back.

He knew that Eunrang helped him, but it was absolutely impossible to trust him since he knew what kind of person he was.

It might have been an attempt to let down one’s guard in this way and then betray or commit a crime at a critical moment.

Eunrang didn’t take his eyes off her, whether he knew what she was thinking or not.

“We’ll talk later, but let’s take these guys down first.”

“… Great. We support you.”

“Okay. “I believe it.”

With those words, Eunrang moved.

Pop! Pubbung! Quagwagwang!

Flames erupt from the first volume, melting all the golems.

Scadia observed Eunrang, assisting where appropriate.

‘You trust me?’

I didn’t understand why I was seeing and trusting her when I had barely even seen her face, let alone talked to her.

In her heart, distrust gradually gains strength and grows.

Not long after, the fight ended.

Coo!

The golem whose half body had melted fell down helplessly and soon completely turned into water.

Scadia immediately asked again.

“So why are you here? “It wouldn’t be a place you’d come across by chance, right?”

“… I came in because I was curious about Lennon Maryland. “Because this is the only place where traces of him remain.”

“Are you talking about the first family?”

“Okay. You came here to continue the progress of the First Family, right? How about joining forces? “Don’t we need to go to the deepest depths to achieve each other’s goals?”

Scadia carefully considered the alliance proposal.

It is true that Eunrang is an untrustworthy person, but I am not confident that I can survive in this palace without his help.

Moreover, if you listen to the words, the magic book of the first head of the family is located in the deepest part.

There will be even more fearsome guardians there, so it is wise to join forces.

I don’t know what will happen afterward.

“… All right. Let’s join forces. But only until we achieve our mutual goals. That would be okay, right?”

“Of course. The moment we leave this place, our alliance ends. Then hurry up. “I want to see the traces as soon as possible.”

Eunrang turned and took the lead.

Scadia walked behind him, her eyes shining brightly.

*

Two hours have passed since the alliance was formed.

After defeating the ice golem and various familiars, we finally reached the deepest part.

There was a huge crystal made of ice in the center of the vast cavity.

The light pouring down from the ceiling is diffusely reflected and sparkling everywhere, making it very beautiful just from the outside.

I held out my hand and stopped Scadia.

“Stop. Can you see the crystal over there? It will activate the moment we enter the pupil. That light shining everywhere will turn into cold, so you must never touch it.”

“Then what should I do?”

“You just hold on and get attention occasionally. Then I will take care of it.”

“All right. I just keep being indebted to you. Thank you.”

I almost looked back for a moment.

‘Thank you?’

I never thought I would hear her thank you to Scadia. I think it’s the first time I’ve heard it since that incident.

I was worried about what Scadia would think because the public’s opinion of me was so harsh, but it seems like she doesn’t return the favor.

My mind is complicated because I feel like a helpful rapist is better than a bitch fiance who is a bitch.

I shook off useless thoughts and took a step forward without saying a word.

Jeobeok─ Jeobeok─

Therefore, when we stepped into the cavity to Skadia, the passage we came through was blocked by a solid wall of ice, and the crystal awakened.

Wooooow!

Magical light gathers in the crystal, and the ring surrounding it rotates, emitting cold air.

The cold mixed with the diffusely reflected light, and the pillar of light that had been quietly illuminating the surroundings turned into cold and began to freeze everything.

“Then please take care of me!”

I left my back to Skadia and shot straight at the crystal.

Using photonization, I approached in the blink of an eye, stepped on the Pacheon Yeonhwanbo, jumped up, and punched out.

Ruan Liu.

The third herbivore.

Fire Dragon’s Heavenly Strike!

Quad deud deuk!

A blow specialized for penetration caused a crack in the crystal.

As expected, it is so hard that it cannot be pierced right away.

If this had not been possible thanks to Hwahwahwa, instead of inflicting damage, his arm would have been frozen by the coldness of the crystal.

“Tch!”

I clicked my tongue and jumped backwards.

Jeeeee!

The ice laser passed by just in the nick of time, destroying the edge of the robe.

It was shattered without even a chance to freeze due to the strong cold.

‘It’s probably better not to get hit.’

It won’t kill you, but it will hurt a lot, so it’s better to do it for your mental health.

Kwagwagwagwang!

At that time, the flame spear hit the ring.

The ice laser that was chasing me flinched and took aim at Skadia.

I took advantage of that opportunity and struck the same spot again.

In that way, we took each other’s aggro and attacked the crystal.

Quad deud deuk!

And after a fight that lasted 20 minutes, I was finally able to destroy the crystal.

Beautiful ice fragments scatter in all directions, emitting brilliant light.

What came out of it was a book.

[Moonlight Book]

A magic book left by Lennon Maryland, the first head of the family.

His magic is a mixture of the moon’s magic and cold, making it as fast and cold as light.

Quad deuk!

Like right now.

“Wow!”

As I was staring at the magic book, I lowered my gaze as I suddenly felt pain.

Beyond my blurred vision, I see an ice spear sticking out.

Moonlight Ice Chang (月光氷槍).

The key to unlocking the secret of the necklace and the basic form of magic created by Lennon Maryland. It was originally in the form of jade, but was transformed into a spear to maximize penetrating power.

The Moonlight Ice Spear was not enough to pierce my dantian, spreading cold energy and eroding my entire body.

Even this was possible thanks to the activation of the iron wall fortress. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have just been pierced, it would have been torn off entirely.

I slowly looked back.

“Why…”

The owner of this magic was, without a doubt, Skadia. She answered my question coldly.

“Because you are dangerous. “I don’t know what I’ll do when the fight is over.”

“Why did I do that…”

“Of course, maybe not. But you’re a possessor and a rapist, right? I can’t believe it. So please understand.”

Skadia stretched out her hand and chanted the spell again.

The magic of the moonlight and cold that rises through the grasp are intertwined to form an ice prison.

I just stared at it blankly.

‘Ask me to understand?’

How dare you tell a subject who is trying to kill her lifesaver by her own arbitrary judgment to understand? Who is this woman?

I knew from the beginning that she was this kind of woman, but she really made me tremble.

Due to the memory of Ruan Friuli, all remaining feelings and regrets were replaced by betrayal and anger.

‘Okay. Now I know for sure.’

Scadia only sees me as a possessor and a rapist. She thought that she must have had a plan for even saving her life.

So, I will do as you wish.

After making up my mind, I stretched out my hand and grabbed the moonlight ice spear that pierced the dantian.

Damn it!

The freezing freezes my hands.

“It’s no use. Even so, you can’t do anything. The pain only gets stronger.”

“Hehe… Are you sure?”

“Okay. “As long as your dantian is shattered, you are no different from an ordinary person.”

I ended up laughing.

Here, I could understand why they aimed for the dantian rather than the head or the heart.

‘I guess I was anxious.’

If you pierce the head, you can definitely kill it, but you had to think about the possibility of avoiding it.

Then, of course, I should aim for the heart, but unfortunately, I have tremendous regenerative power, so I thought of destroying the dantian and completely blocking it.

The problem is that the source of my regenerative power is in the middle battle, not the bottom battle.

It could be said that it was a defeat for Scadia, as I, who had not yet reached level 200, did not expect to be able to handle mid-to-mid battles.

I spoke as if spitting out one word at a time.

“Scadia. “I will rape you.”

Pakang!

At the same time as declaring rape, I shattered the Moonlight Ice Jade with my amplified physical strength.

Now is the time for revenge.
