46 – Unexpected variable (4)

“Are you talking about me?”

A playful way of speaking that matched his appearance jumped out.

She shook her body with a playful smile.

Erina looked at her with her grim gaze.

There was a hint of murder in his tone.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, conflicting reactions emerged.

“Why is Yongin here?”

“Hmm, it’s a bit difficult to answer~”

She tilted her head and pursed her lips.

She shrugged her shoulders and shook her shoulders.

It was not an intentionally exaggerated action.

It was natural, like a habit that comes out often.

Erina’s eyes turned red at her opponent’s reaction.

The atmosphere froze with silence.

‘Why is Yongin here… ?’

I had never heard of Yongin living in the snowy mountains.

In the first place, when it came to Yongin, no one knew except Kayla.

But now was not the time to ask why.

In a situation surrounded by countless monsters, there was no time to leisurely grasp the situation.

She held her sword and shield firmly.

It’s only been a month, but her one-handed sword has teeth.

There were blood stains here and there. Even cleaning it every day didn’t help.

How badly did you use it?

It was also proof that I worked hard.

“Well, it doesn’t matter.”

Erina held her longsword with both her hands.

She took her straight posture, aiming her sword at the enemy in front of her.

“It’s just a matter of killing them all anyway.”

There were conflicting reactions to her words.

Snow Woman’s expression froze coldly, and Yongin’s expression burst into laughter even more exaggeratedly.

“You have so much confidence! But is it possible with so many?”

Even in an atmosphere full of cynicism and arrogance, Erina did not waver at all.

Then she quietly opened her mouth.

“Seohyun.”

“Huh?”

“Please don’t come too far forward.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared before my eyes.

As everyone panicked, Snow Woman’s scream came out.

“Wow…?!”

A huge lightning bolt fell from the air.

Terrible sparks scattered in all directions as if to electrocute everything.

The monster’s encirclement collapsed.

A shock wave occurred with a roar and the formation collapsed.

Agitation appeared on the snow woman’s face, which had been cold just a moment ago.

The confusion did not last long.

After being preemptively attacked, the monster quickly rushed towards the target.

And it was the same for me.

“Kuh…!”

The frost giant’s club flew.

Just as he was about to counterattack, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky.

From head to toe, the body of the frost giant was charred.

At the same time, the golem next to him did the same.

A huge sword spread out and split the body in half.

Although I was surrounded by monsters, Erina kept an eye on me.

But she couldn’t block all the attacks.

“Be careful!”

A huge chunk of ice came flying.

It was a huge piece of magic created by the Snow Woman.

If even one hit properly, life would be in danger.

He immediately raised his shield to block it, but his arm felt numb with a cold temperature to his fingertips.

His body was pushed and he lost his balance.

Fortunately, I didn’t fall.

I could have been pushed off the cliff.

Yongin, who saw me, immediately gave a creepy smile.

“Yeah. You’re a bit weak, aren’t you?”

I didn’t get agitated by the words, and I calmly fixed my stance.

There was no reason to be agitated by the absurd provocation.

He slashed his sword while holding onto his shield.

There is only a cliff behind.

It was better for me to attack first than to be put on the defensive.

I rushed at the opponent with spirit.

I aimed for his chest and thrust out his sword. The opponent lightly turned his body to avoid it.

This is an expected situation.

I tried to take down his head with a shield.

However, the opponent took another step back and increased the distance.

I felt something strange.

There was no movement to counterattack or prepare anything.

He was just staring blankly at me.

“…?”

“Why are you looking at me like that? Have you got anything on my face?”

Something was strange. But there was no time for doubt.

I quickly aimed for his waist and swung his sword horizontally.

Zeng, the sword was blocked with a sound.

A sharp blade got stuck in the forearm.

Above it were sharp scales.

He raised his shield and threw himself.

The body was pushed away with a slight collision.

So far, there has been no sign of a counterattack.

I was just concentrating on blocking the attack.

Finally I opened my mouth.

“Why aren’t you fighting?”

He threw his sword and continued the series attack.

I lightly twisted my body to avoid it.

Even in the midst of that, the other person answered leisurely.

“Well? If you have to say, there’s no reason to fight?”

“What are you talking about?”

Of course, I thought she was an enemy, but when she showed a passive attitude, I couldn’t attack too quickly.

The confrontation continued calmly.

Meanwhile, the opponent jumped up in place and flew up into the sky.

A huge tailwind blew around.

But it was not a threatening move.

It is a shield to protect oneself.

Literally, the opponent seemed unwilling to fight.

“Well, it would be best if both of them died.”

I looked around while saying something incomprehensible.

He muttered in a relaxed tone as if admiring the scenery.

“I just need to survive anyway.”

There was a mess behind her.

The corpse of the monster was flying around and blood was flowing.

Then her eyes turned to Erina.

It was literally like a monster.

Despite being surrounded by monsters, I was not pushed back at all.

On the contrary, the bodies of several monsters were being cut in half at the same time.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was literally in a state of trance.

At that time, something in the sky blocked the sunlight.

The tip of a huge iceberg was descending from the sky.

“…?!”

Meteor. It was dangerous.

Even Erina had to avoid it.

But she didn’t move.

She glanced up and quickly lead the sword into the scabbard.

For an instant, a flash of light flashed.

A huge sword shot towards the sky.

A straight and sharp sword strike collided with a chunk of ice in the air.

In an instant, the iceberg in the air broke in two.

The chunks of ice that fell on the floor instead rushed under the heads of the monsters.

Numerous monsters screamed helplessly and fell under the ice.

The mournful cry reminded me of the sword of hell.

“That’s too strong…”

He laughed in an embarrassing tone.

It’s an absurd sight even for me, who is on the same side.

Erina thought she was stronger than anyone else.

But she never imagined that it would make such an overwhelming difference.

Yongin, who only showed a laid-back look, only smiled bitterly as if he was frightened.

Even the monster that was running towards me seemed to be overwhelmed and my feet froze.

In the meantime, I calmly examined the other person’s intentions.

I couldn’t move hastily at the obviously innocuous action.

But even if I asked the other person a question, it didn’t seem like they would give an answer.

I observed the situation in an uncomfortable silence.

Then the snow woman’s eyes turned to Yongin.

“What are you doing! Stop playing and kill him!”

From noble mtl dot com

She didn’t even blink an eye at her furious screams.

Rather, he smirked while maintaining a smirk.

“Yes. I understand~”

He looked at me with a relaxed attitude.

It flew up into the sky with the wind wrapped around it.

With strong winds, the air flow began to become rough.

I fired a wind cutter at Erina.

Of course, I couldn’t just watch it.

Leaping into the air, aiming for the wings, he stabbed the sword.

Of course I couldn’t reach it. But while he twisted his body to avoid the attack, he threw out his shield.

“What! Do not disturb!”

For the first time, Yongin shouted.

But I didn’t mean it.

I was deliberately pretending to be annoyed and acting.

Still didn’t show a threatening attitude.

***

My body fell endlessly.

My body floated along with the strong wind. The frozen snow mountain was excruciatingly high.

I was falling to an unfathomable height.

He calmly deployed his protection magic.

She deployed her protective shield with great care so that she would not get hurt if she fell to the floor.

How much time has passed?

The bottom is finally starting to show.

After clearing her mind, she stepped on the floor.

“Kuh…?!”

I crashed to the floor with a violent crash.

There was no such thing as the last time I received the shock head-on.

My leg was tingling, but I was not seriously injured.

But it didn’t matter that I was safe.

I raised my head and looked up at the cliff.

It was impossible to measure the height so far that it was covered by clouds.

“Seohyun!”

I called out my lord’s name in a loud voice to the sky.

But no answer came back.

Only the sound of the empty wind returned.

‘…It will be fine.’

Even though I wasn’t there, Erina was by my master’s side.

Considering her powerlessness, she won’t be easily defeated.

But she couldn’t just sit back and watch.

She

She was in a hurry She had to join her lord towards the summit.

She looked around and calmly found her way.

However, there was only a field covered with pure white snow.

‘Where is this…’

It wasn’t the road she walked while coming up.

She decided to walk upwards for now.

She randomly found her way up and moved her feet.

Cold hail brushed her skin.

Her body trembled as the wind blew into her robe.

Enduring her moaning, I continued her hike.

“If only I had wings…”

Although it may not be possible to reach the top right away, at least it would have been easier than it is now.

No. There would have been no falling off the cliff in the first place.

It would have flown right away and returned without incident.

But it’s already too late. For me, only wings torn in vain are left.

He lamented his incompetence.

But what can I do? It’s all karma from past mistakes.

I didn’t even have time to regret it now.

He silently continued his steps while pondering over his mistake.

Suddenly, I sensed a strange air current.

Someone was nearby. At first I thought it was a monster.

Immediately deployed the magic circle.

But an unexpected voice reached my ears.

“How have you been?”

“…?!”

A female voice full of confidence.

Goose bumps ran down my spine at the familiar voice.

It was the voice of a woman who undoubtedly remained in my memory.

A long time ago, a past that she did not want to recall again messed with her mind.

Numerous dragons who came together to fight against the demon king.

Among them, there was a person who stood out.

I looked back. And the girl she had buried in her memory was in front of her eyes.

“Lily…!”

At my words, she grinned and waved her hand.

“How are you? Bianca.”
