“This is plain weird… Like Retto said, these people aren’t covered with ice.”
Elaina said as she touched one of the ice-like crystals. She closed her eyes and used magical sensors. She tried to track down what kind of magic was used by the people. But instead of knowing what kind of magic was used. She finds out something more important.
“ Are these people still alive?”
Elaina muttered.
Her words surprised Retto, who was the closest to her position.
“But this place has been said to be trapped in ice 100 hundred years ago or more.”
“Sure… I might be mistaken, but I could feel a magical pulse inside of them. Magic was used to preserve their lives. Their bodies were not frozen. Their bodies were paused. Like when you’re playing music on a player. Their body is paused and needs to be played again for them to come back to life.”
Glenn got interested in Elaina’s findings and said:
“I didn’t know preserving magic that could la
I've suffered from writer's block. Maybe I should read more novels to improve myself in writting.
Retto was about to approach her when Glenn put his hand on his shoulder. Glenn had a serious expression and he walked forward. Retto stopped in confusion. Elaina and Falfa didn’t know what was happening either. “What are the heroes doing in this place?” Lana asked. “Don’t play innocent anymore, Vega.” After calling Lana the name Vega, Lana’s expression immediately changed into something unpleasant. “What is happening, Glenn?” “This woman is an extraterrestrial… Her name is Vega. I saw her once and she was a traitor that led to the death of many players. I won’t forget her face, even if it's a very long time. Ever since I heard your story in your first take of this dungeon, I have had a suspicion of who this Lana is. Why is she always there when something bad is happening? I think it is very odd that aharmless girl is sleeping outside of an unprotected town. This era is the era of demons. Humans are suppressed drastically during t
“I wanted to fulfill the promise left by Brenn. The promised place he founded. I want everyone to know about it. That’s why I planned on chasing them away. They have no choice but to travel together on the journey of Hope.”Lana continues explaining her motive. She has already convinced Retto and Falfa, but the witch and the demon king still have their suspicions. First of all, she is an extraterrestrial. Ever since Extraterrestrial has been considered an enemy of the world. Second, they turned blades on each other. Both attempted to kill each other.Trusting someone who tries to kill you is very difficult.“You're the opponent of humanity.”“Stop, Glenn… I don’t think she’s an opponent. Her aura does not shift and stays calm. She’s telling the truth. The extraterrestrial said it wasn’t specific. It might be part of the mission. Her being the external does not mean she’s the one we n
Retto put his trust in Lana. Glenn was suspicious but if everything turned south. He won’t hesitate to cut down on Lana. Him keeping his distance from her and observing her would be the choice for him. Lana joined the party until they finished the mission. From the first take of the second Dungeon, Retto knew that the serpent would appear exactly at nighttime together with an army of different types of monsters. Surely it was dangerous for the extraterrestrial to come closer to the town. Therefore, the players implemented a counter. Before the monsters reached near the town. They will come to defeat them. It was still afternoon and the players were busy putting magic circles all around Nell town to create a barrier protecting them from upcoming danger. Elaina drew the magic circles. “How many circles are we going to draw?” “With the size of this land. We’re drawing 12 circles… It will take a while. The payoff is high. Using mag
“Don’t you understand the situation?”Glenn said as he walked closely toward Ruti. “Tsk!” Ruti clicked her tongueand her eyes averted away from Glenn. Knowing that from her position she couldn’t do anything else.“... Your friends' lives are in our hands right now. We’re trying to explain to ourselves that we’re not here to fight the fourth hero. Our goal is the subjection of an extraterrestrial servant that will appear in this location.”“I won’t listen to anything a demon would say. Release my friends and come to the surface of my world.”Ruti protested to Glenn.Different from her calm-looking appearance. The fourth hero is a hard-headed woman. It was tough even for Glenn, who didn’t want or plan on killing the heroes' party of this era.If they did kill the fourth in this era. The future will drastically shift. Worst, it might shift into so
I was loved by the sword and magic. I don’t know the reason behind that. I was praised and respected because of it. With the thousand hero candidates. I wasn’t sure why I was chosen. I held the sword and raised it from the boulder.I won’t forget everyone's reaction at that time.“A royal was chosen to be the hero?”“A royalty… This is the first for the royal blood to have a hero.”Hero? What is that? I was too young to comprehend such thoughts. But seeing everyone smile brimming with hope makes me feel very happy.After taking the legendary sword, I was held as the hero.But still, I wasn’t able to understand fully well what a hero should be.In terms of protecting people. The hero is no different from the average knight in the kingdom. We both have swords capable of using magic and defeating monsters to protect the weak.After adventuring for such a long time, I didn&rsqu
The pure white flowers near Ruti were immediately tainted red. Turning her glance at the flowers. The head of Sonya was seen looking at her. A head without a body. Ruti forced herself to lift her glance to take a better look and saw a mysterious humanoid monster standing like a dog chewing down a big body in its jaws. The humanoid monster threw the upper part of her in her front.“Mato? Sonya…”Ruti's eyes became teary when she saw her friend getting killed in front of her. She tried to move her body. Desperate to hold them with her hands. Sonya’s head was crushed by an orc's foot. The orc made a cruel smile, looking down on Ruti.“Why is this happening?”Ruti asked herself.“Everyone I cared about died in front of my very own eyes… All the people I grew to love. Leaves me alone… Why?”The howl of the extraterrestrial servant was heard.The extraterrestrial still sur
The serpent blasted a magical beam from its mouth, destroying the protective barrier created by Elaina earlier.“I have to destroy everything that could stop us, extraterrestrials. Everything, including the knowledge of people living in Nell town… My army of monsters will come forth and destroy every living life on your path!”Lana ordered the army of monsters.The serpent destroyed the monolith walls surrounding Nell town instantly. Debris from it comes flying to the small town. The residents started running out of fear and some people knelt, accepting their deaths.As human nature, rejecting the idea of being killed is natural. Other people will have to fight despite knowing the probability of them winning is close to zero. They hold their weapons in their hands. They all have grim expressions on their faces. Fighting till death is better than dying as a coward.“We’ll protect the kids and women!”&ldqu
In the time before, Elaina battles Lana. Retto caught himself in the middle surrounded by huge numbers of dark knights. Retto was already exhausted from the never-ending battle he was currently in. After one dark knight was killed, another one spawned. Breathing heavily, Retto clenched his sword tightly. Pulling every ounce of his strength to fight back the dark knights. The dark knights all attack at the same time, swinging their swords down at Retto. Retto defensively blocked all the swords with his one sword. He overpowered the dark knight and leaped upward. As he fell, he rotated his body together with his sword, putting the knight's neck encircled around him all at the same time. Retto immediately took distance and opened a potion in his pocket. Taking out the lid with his finger, he sipped it down hastily. Recovering his lost energy and healing up a few injuries. But that wasn’t enough, because Retto’s muscles were already aching and he
