[You have defeated the created emperor Ariant.]
[The world Ariant has now been destroyed.]
[You have beheaded the being who was the ruler of that world!]
[You gain a large amount of experience.]
[Your level increases]
[Lv.39]

] The blade cuts through the giant’s body.
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
much
I see it falling to the floor.
but.
‘It’s harder than I thought.’
This body was so hard.
It was difficult to cut it all at once.
At least I was able to cut the body somehow.
‘The body is not everything.’
The indigo color of his body was also a scary color.
What’s even scarier is.
‘The soul contained within….’
In the first place.
The essence of these monsters was not their bodies, but their souls.
So far, I have cut down all the bodies and souls occupied by those monsters.
Thanks to this, I was able to receive experience points equivalent to killing two blue-level monsters at once.
Just like other monsters.
I thought this guy’s soul could also be easily cut down.
But….
‘It’s big.’
Although I am trapped deep within this body.
That spirit was so big.
Even though I’m sleeping deep down there.
You can’t even guess its size.
[Ingredients Identification (Enhancement)]
[The founder of the frozen soul of winter, embodied as the king of the north wind and cold snow, the first frost to fall, Ariant’s god of destruction, the first verb. ]
[This is Belsnickel, the King of Frozen Souls.]
[He is the first being to die in the warm and prosperous world of Ariant.]
[As he suffered a lonely death, a being called ‘Frozen Soul’ was born in Ariant. And as he was reborn as a frozen soul, the concept of winter appeared in the warm world of Ariant.] [In the end, the winter covered the entire rich world, and Ariant fell asleep in eternal winter.]
[When Ariant’s godhood was destroyed ,
When I was disappointed in the world and left that land. It is said that Belsnickel reigned over a world covered in winter on behalf of the disappeared god.]
And.
I could feel it the moment I read that message.
‘That’s a different kind of being.’
maybe.
Originally, I would not even be allowed to look at it with the naked eye.
A being who can control and twist fate with his own power.
A being that can participate in the birth and extinction of ordinary life.
A being that can lead a beautiful, prosperous, and prosperous world to destruction.
‘Transcendent…’
The magical power emanating from the soul sleeping deep in the depths.
‘It’s dark.’
It was
a very dark… purple color.
‘It’s purple.’
The pavilion that was built on top of the [Cheonsan Military Hall].
It is the first color I have seen since I saw the magic flowing from there.
The teacher of the Heavenly Warrior or the guardian spirit of Dasmur.
And the devil who made eye contact with me in the sky above Gangwon-do.
A huge presence that can only be felt from those guys.
‘It’s right in front of me…’
That mighty spirit.
Despite being defenselessly exposed by that seal.
[Introduction to Soul Cooking]
‘I can’t believe I can’t cut it!’
With my power, which is only at the beginner level.
I couldn’t cut that soul.
-The king’s body!
-iced coffee…! The best body we presented to the king…!
I succeeded in cutting off his body.
But I couldn’t cut down that sleeping soul.
‘How much time is left!’
I urgently looked at the other giants.
[Time left until the seal is lifted – 38….]
‘There is no time.’
There is less than a minute left until their seal is awakened.
So far, I have cut down eight giants with their souls intact.
They were able to succeed in eliminating the bodies of the giants who were their kings.
but.
‘I can’t leave this soul here.’
A being with this much power.
Even if they are asleep now, if they wake up from the seal.
There was no way to know what effect this king’s power would have on other giants.
‘What should I do?’
The time given was short.
An entity that I cannot eliminate with my own abilities.
But it is something that should never be left here.
Is there any way to solve such an existence?
I thought about it for a short time… and then…
“Ha, damn it. “What can I do?”
I sighed.
I muttered in a low voice.
‘No matter how much I think about it, there’s only one way that comes to mind.’
I can’t even remove it.
If I can’t leave it here.
what.
Isn’t there only one answer?
“Huh….”
And then.
After taking in as much breath as I could.
grasp!
I reached out my hand towards that soul.
I won’t be able to cut that soul with my sword, which is only an [introductory] sword.
But even if you can’t cut it.
“You can hold it, damn it!”
No matter how hard the food ingredient is.
It would be possible to hold it by hand and move it!
An outstretched hand.
Capturing a cold soul made of spheres.
And….
“!@$!@$!@#!!@!$!!——!!!!!!!”
From my mouth.
A tearful scream poured out.
* * *
The moment I held that soul in my hands.
There was a thought that dominated my mind.
‘It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…!’
It feels like my hands are burning.
no.
It’s not burning.
‘Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold.’
It’s so cold.
The pain just felt like it was burning.
‘It hurts… It hurts… You’re so… It hurts…!’
The greatest pain I have ever felt in my life.
This is what I felt when I crossed that barrier of heat.
I had to feel the pain as if my whole body was on fire.
but.
‘You can’t even compare…!’
The soul that is now in my hands.
The pain caused by that soul was incomparable to what I felt when I crossed that barrier.
‘It’s better… I’d rather faint…!’
An unbelievable level of pain.
When this kind of pain comes.
The human brain often escapes the pain by fainting.
‘It’s better… kill me…’
Or.
Shocked by the immense pain.
In many cases, it led to death.
If you think about it.
It could be seen as a foolish decision to hastily touch that soul.
I had already guessed the power that soul possessed.
Still, you foolishly reached out there.
It’s a foolish thing to do even if it leads to death and there’s nothing to be said about it…
It’s a win, though.
Crack….
Even while my head is being dominated by pain.
I grit my teeth.
Lifted that spirit.
‘It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…!’
Maybe it’s because my mental power is too strong.
For that reason, it was not possible.
Wow….
before I held that soul in my hands.
After taking out an object contained in the shadow.
I was holding it in my hand.
[Victimia]
A magic sword that shares the power applied to it with its owner.
[Ability being applied]
[Curse – Eternal Torment]
The curse that the association leader had dealt still remained in this magic sword.
A skill he even threatened to use on me.
The effect of [Eternal Pain] was simple.
[Applications – Death resistance, Stun resistance]
[Not applicable – Increased pain, severe pain]
“Kruch…!”
Even though I was in pain as if my brain would explode and die.
I can never faint.
can never die
‘It hurts, it hurts, it hurts…!’
Even though my head was filled with nothing but painful screams.
With reason clearly remaining.
I feel that pain vividly.
‘I’d rather… die…!’
Even death is not allowed to escape from this pain…
a power that literally inflicts eternal pain.
So much so that the president of the association could only obtain it after reaching level 30.
It was a curse of the highest order in terms of its use as ‘torture’.
I use the power of that curse.
Somehow, without running away to death.
Somehow, without fainting.
‘It hurts, it hurts… It hurts…!’
With clear reason.
Grind your teeth.
Even in pain, he pulled the soul held in his hand.
It really looks like a dog.
There was a reason why this had to be done.
‘I can’t leave this guy here…!’
The being that those guys praise and call themselves kings.
A transcendental person with purple magical power.
They say it’s sealed.
If those giants are released from the seal.
I don’t know what effect this guy’s power will have on those giants.
I should never have been left in the arms of those giants.
‘But if cutting doesn’t work…!’
at last.
Isn’t there only one way left?
‘I take it.’
Percussion.
After somehow moving the soul in my hand.
Relax the fingers you were holding.
OK.
Earth…
[Shadow Curtain]
That bead-like soul.
Rolled into my shadow.
* * *
“Whoop… whoop… whoop!!!”
After that [Belsnickel]’s soul rolled into my shadow.
I was able to escape some of the pain.
‘ㅅ… ㅅㅅㅅ… castle… a… ball… one thing… go?’
The remnants of pain that remained in my mind are still clear.
I looked down at my hands trembling.
‘Frozen.’
It is a soul that was sealed and asleep.
It’s not like he exerted any special power.
It’s not even a physical entity.
‘When I hold your soul… There were 38 seconds left until the seal was released…’
After holding that soul.
That’s all it took to put it in my shadow.
[Time remaining until the seal is lifted – 36….]
It was only 2 seconds.
Just 2 seconds.
All this time, just by ‘touching’ his soul.
If [Victimia] wasn’t there, I had to feel the pain that would have caused me to die of shock.
My hands just froze.
“…Whoop!”
Swing
the dagger in your hand and hit the frozen hand.
The ice breaks and my flesh inside falls into pieces and scatters.
Slurp….
Blood flows to the wound area.
The blood of the [Noble of the Night] was seen healing the severed hand.
Although the speed of recovery has been slowed.
It’s just delayed, it doesn’t mean it’s gone.
In the case of the regenerative power that the president of the association received by giving in to these guys.
Replacing permanently damaged areas with ice was the limit…
‘The blood of the nobleman of the night is far superior to that.’
The cut part will soon be completely regenerated.
-What have you done?
-Can’t you feel the king’s soul…?
I can’t believe I was thinking like that.
I hear the giants’ voices sounding perplexed.
The giants are unable to move due to the seal.
In the meantime, they touched the king who was behind them.
‘Even if you want to turn your head and look in my direction, you won’t be able to.’
You probably have no idea what I did.
Meanwhile, the presence of their king suddenly disappeared.
-Wow, the king passed away?
-No, no. He’s not dead. It feels very… very faint.
-Then where are you?
They don’t even seem to notice that I’ve put their king in the shadows.
‘Once you enter the shadow veil, even the strongest energy is weakened to some extent.’
The king’s energy suddenly weakened.
They looked very confused.
-You… you…!
-I will never forgive you…!
…by the way.
I also felt like I had no time to relax anymore.
[Time left until the seal is lifted… 8]
Googoo googung…
I wonder if the seal has almost been released.
A great vibration can be felt from the bodies of the giants who were unable to move.
“Then I think I’ve done everything I had to do…!”
and.
After I crossed between those giants.
“Hello everyone!”
-Nenooooooooo…!!!
“I was annoyed when we met and let’s never see each other again!”
Do your best.
He began to run away toward the outside of the gate.
* * *
[Time remaining until the seal is lifted… 0]
Eventually.
The seal is completely lifted.
Kugugoong…
-Ah ah….
-The freedom I’ve been looking for has finally come!
The ice giants that were sealed.
It starts to move.
-Revenge… I must take revenge.
-Avenge your brothers!
Giants with great power.
It was the moment they regained their freedom.
But…
– Rather than that, we must look after the king’s well-being first!
-…!
Fortunately.
They didn’t seem to have time to chase me right away.
Even though I ran as far away as possible.
I slowly turned around and looked at the giants.
-Wow, the king’s body…
the huge corpse that I cut down.
Those guys surrounding the body.
They seemed to have fallen into deep despair as they could not sense their king’s soul.
-The body can be replaced at any time. Recovering the remains is important… but more than that, we must find the king’s soul!
-Why does my soul feel weak?
-As if the lifting of our seal was forcibly postponed. Something may have been done to the king’s remains.
-There is a possibility that the king’s soul has fallen into the depths of that body. I have to go in to find it…!
Guys as a solution to that problem.
For now, it seemed like I decided to examine the body of the king I had cut down.
‘…thank god.’
It’s like you’re making a complete mistake.
Should I say I’m lucky?
[The polished soul of Eterek the Wise]
[The polished soul of Baleim, the Extreme Saint]
[The polished soul of Anador the Understanding]
Those who seem to have the knowledge to be able to recognize such parts.
He had already been groomed and was in my shadow.
[Ariadon, the Icicle Spear, Knight Commander of the Frozen Kingdom]
[Olodon, the Hammer of Glaciers, Great Warrior of the Sharp Forest]
Those who remain over there.
Just by looking at their names, they are focused on battle.
‘I thought about what I would do if I jumped out right away… but if they hang over there, I can at least have some time to spare.’
I did everything I could here.
With 20 boss-level monsters that radiated blue magical power.
One indigo magical body.
One purple magical soul.
I killed 8 of them.
Cutting down the mighty body that contained indigo magic.
They even stole the soul of their king.
‘Is this the limit for just 10 minutes?’
The maximum amount of achievement that can be achieved within a given amount of time.
‘It’s a bit daunting to think that there are still 12 left, but…!’
Nevertheless, almost half of it was cut down.
And…
the effect was immediately apparent.
[You left the gate!]
“…hehehehehehehe.”
The result of running with all my might.
After coming out of the gate.
I was running towards where my allies were.
I am.
I could feel an awkward sensation that I hadn’t felt in a while.
Raise your hand and place it on your forehead.
Wet…
there.
I felt thick moisture.
“Sweating…”
I ran with all my might.
The body heat rose.
‘It’s hot…’
After taking off the thick outerwear I bought at the store.
He roughly throws it nearby and continues running.
‘uh?’
And just before the thrown clothes hit the floor.
I was finally able to realize it.
After coming to Gyeonggi-do.
An experience I have never felt before.
“…It’s hot?”
The heat.
I was feeling it.
