    Episode 128

    Shwaaak!

    Blinking his eyes once Suho returned to reality.

    The first thing that came into view at that moment was none other than a pure white lotus flower or rather an ice flower made of frost.

    A single ice flower blooming over a steaming hot spring.

    Sirka’s low voice came from within.

    “…Suho. “I think I just saw my grandfather.”

    “what?”

    ‘Could it be that Sirka was the granddaughter of the Lord of the Cold…’

    That was when Suho expressed his doubts.

    Damn it!

    Suddenly the ice flowers surrounding Sirka bloomed and scattered in all directions.

    At the same time the ice crystals swirled around and solidified in Sirka’s hands.

    Tiring.

    [The Lord of the Cold the king of the Yetis passes on ‘Item: Spear of the Ice Tree’ to his successor ‘Sirca.’]

    Quad deuk!

    At that moment a long piece of ice stretched out from Sirka’s hand.

    And a trident made of ice.

    [Kihak! What kind of energy is this?!]

    Ber who had no idea what Su-ho had just experienced quickly stood in front of Su-ho to protect him.

    “are you okay.”

    Suho held Ber in his arms and patted him.

    “Because they are on our side.”

    [Kiek?]

    Vert tilts his head in his arms and looks at Suho’s face.

    However when I saw the confident expression in Suho’s eyes I immediately realized what the situation was.

    At that moment Sirka’s eyes which had been staring blankly into space came back into focus.

    She looked somewhere and opened her mouth.

    “I can see it now.”

    Sirka swung the ice tree spear in her hand and pointed beyond the blizzard that was blocking her view.

    “…where Chacha is.”

    Shuuuuk.

    At that moment the blizzard that was swirling in the forest engulfed the frigid Trident.

    That energy swirled around the bodies of Sirka and Suho floating them up.

    Sirka’s eyes sparkled and she smiled confidently.

    “Hold on tight. “Because it will fly right away.”

    Whoa-

    A single trace crossed the echo forest.

    * * *

    Wow!

    The scavenger hunters were struggling in fear and despair.

    A natural disaster was happening right before our eyes.

    A harshly cold forest where the ground howls and the sky shakes as if it will collapse.

    The Scavenger Guild is the strongest guild in America both in name and reality with experience in conquering infamous dungeons that other guilds cannot even dare to challenge.

    However the scene unfolding before their eyes could not be compared to any dungeon they had conquered.

    It never occurred to me that I would be able to return from here alive.

    It was impossible to dare express the despair they felt now.

    ‘A dragon…!’

    Dragons suddenly appeared in the middle of the forest and were engaged in a fierce battle with each other.

    The hunters caught up in the aftermath simply desperately ran away like shrimp in a whale fight.

    “Ah what on earth is going on?”

    “Oh please! Guild leader! Guild leader! “Where on earth are you!”

    “If only Thomas Andre were there…!”

    They only waited for one person with a glimmer of hope.

    Thomas Andre humanity’s strongest hunter!

    If only he would come here he would solve this whole situation.

    There was nothing they could do other than pray so earnestly to God.

    But no matter how long they waited there seemed to be no sign of Thomas Andre coming.

    Even though the whole forest is shaking like this.

    With his senses as an S-class hunter he would have noticed the current situation a long time ago.

    “Oh please Thomas! Thomas!”

    But there was something they didn’t know…

    It’s not that Thomas Andre isn’t coming it’s that he was here from the beginning.

    They didn’t even dare to guess.

    And there was the only person here who noticed that fact from the beginning.

    “Tsk!”

    It’s Cha Hae-in.

    “How could that person be here…!”

    Cha Hae-in had a perplexed expression throughout the battle.

    Cha Hae-in who was in the midst of exploring the abnormality felt in the echo forest with Kaisel suddenly turned in this direction at the sight of a huge presence that suddenly appeared in the echo forest.

    And what I discovered was that magical beast the Ice Dragon.

    The identity of that huge and terrible thing was actually a type of ice golem created by spirits.

    Ice elves banned.

    Another name for the Echo Forest is ‘Forest of Trials’.

    The spirits living here visit those who have invaded the forest and impose appropriate trials on them.

    So as someone with strong power enters the forest more and more spirits flock to balance that power.

    And those who cannot overcome the ordeal eventually become possessed by spirits and have their bodies taken away.

    You will literally be frozen forever and suffer in a state where you cannot live or die.

    Of course this only applied to ice elves.

    Ice elves were a race with excellent affinity for spirits so they could easily deal with spirits.

    On the contrary it was easy for the body to be taken away by the spirits.

    But humans are different.

    From what Cha Hae-in had experienced so far humans basically lacked spirit affinity.

    So at least I didn’t have to worry about losing my body because of the ordeal.

    Of course a number of spirits commensurate with its power attacked.

    ‘But why?’

    So Cha Hae-in was quite embarrassed from a while ago.

    Cha Hae-in who was fighting closest to the ice dragon was able to notice something.

    No I could smell it accurately.

    A different smell from the ice dragon.

    Cha Hae-in who was examining the ice dragon with his eyes narrowed soon discovered a ridiculous fact.

    The existence of a man frozen in the deepest part of the ice dragon made of frozen solid ice!

    A white-haired old man.

    Regardless of his age he is the strongest man on Earth with an incredibly muscular physique.

    Cha Hae-in recognized his face right away.

    ‘Thomas André! Why is that person turning into an ice dragon in a place like this?!’

    Quaoooooooo-!

    At that moment the ice dragon carrying Thomas Andre near its heart roared and struck Kaisel on which Cha Hae-in was riding.

    Ku-kwa-kwang!

    [Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!]

    A very tired cry came out of Kaisel’s mouth as he fought back.

    “Kaisel…!”

    Cha Hae-in looked at Kaisel with a sad expression.

    I’m in big trouble.

    The power felt by Kaisel was gradually weakening.

    Even if it wasn’t for today’s battle Kaisel had been weakening in real time for a long time.

    This was because there was no way to replenish his lost strength because he was far away from Seong Jin-woo.

    However as soon as I started fighting against equal opponents the speed at which I weakened became incredibly fast.

    ‘If we wait any longer Kaisel will disappear!’

    Of course if Seong Jin-woo were nearby right now he would not return to nothing but be reverse-summoned as Seong Jin-woo’s shadow and try to recover in the shadow world.

    But even that was impossible now.

    ‘The only answer is quick resolution. ‘I have to do it.’

    Cha Hae-in jumped off Kaisel’s back and mercilessly cut into the ice dragon’s huge body with two daggers filled with sword energy.

    Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!

    With a tremendous bursting sound the ice dragon’s body breaks and splits.

    However the wounds that occurred were easily repaired after a nearby snowstorm blew up.

    New spirits are inhabiting the ice dragon’s body and restoring it.

    ‘If we keep fighting like this it’s just a war of attrition! In the end the only way is to attack Thomas Andre directly!’

    The problem was that even that was not an easy task.

    The body of that gigantic ice dragon is not made of ordinary ice but rather thick ice imbued with enormous magical power.

    The defensive power that came from there was truly enormous.

    No matter how much they were smashed and destroyed new spirits would appear and fill the gaps.

    If that thing had been an ordinary ice golem it would have been enough to completely destroy it before new spirits came in.

    But that thing was so big that attacking it partially was useless.

    While the other side is destroyed and the other side is attacked the other side is restored before you know it.

    ‘That’s why you have to use all your might to pierce the heart with a single blow.’

    Cha Hae-in who got on Kaisel’s back again quickly crossed the two daggers.

    And I raised the magical power I had.

    Gooooooo!

    Skill ‘Sword of Light’.

    This skill consumes so much magical power that it has no choice but to be used as a secret weapon.

    The two daggers began to shine brightly in Cha Hae-in’s hands.

    ‘You only get one chance!’

    Cha Hae-in’s eyes shone coldly.

    “Kaysel! Make a gap!”

    [Kyaoooo!]

    Because Kaisel had been in close contact with Cha Hae-in for a long time he was able to understand her words right away.

    Quad deuk!

    Kaisel clung closely to the body of the ice dragon which was much larger than himself without risking any damage.

    The ice dragon blew out its frigid breath and wounded Kaisel’s body but Kaisel never backed down.

    The sole purpose is to prevent Cha Hae-in’s attack in which he poured all his strength from missing!

    [Kyaaagh!]

    ‘Thank you Kaisel.’

    In line with Kaisel’s roar Cha Hae-in’s skills went straight to where Thomas Andre the heart of the ice dragon was sleeping.

    Kuwaaang-

    A huge wave of magical power spread out in all directions centered on that power.

    ‘I’m sorry Thomas Andre.’

    At that moment many emotions crossed Cha Hae-in’s mind.

    Cha Hae-in who had memories of the disappeared time period thanks to Seong Jin-woo knew well who Thomas Andre was.

    At one point he was a nationally powerful hunter in the United States.

    As one of the strongest humans in the world he was a warrior who struggled to save the Earth from being invaded by otherworldly beings.

    But that is a story from a time period that has disappeared.

    Now he had to be just an ordinary human being.

    The fact that he suddenly appeared here.

    And the appearance of heavily armed hunters nearby.

    From this information alone Cha Hae-in was able to infer quite a few facts.

    ‘People with magical powers. Could it be that while I was here the Earth changed back to how it was then?’

    then….

    What happened to her husband Seong Jin-woo?

    At that moment Cha Hae-in’s mind recalled the back of her husband the last thing she saw before she fell here.

    he is….

    ‘Are they still fighting?’

    still.

    Is he fighting there alone?

    Ka-ga-ga-ga-!

    Even at this moment Cha Hae-in’s sword of light was penetrating the huge ice dragon.

    Now just go a little further.

    The attack will reach Thomas Andre who is frozen in his heart.

    just a little.

    ‘Just a little more!’

    But then.

    Flash!

    Suddenly Thomas Andre’s frozen eyes covered in pure white frost opened.

    “…!”

    The moment when Cha Hae-in’s eyes widen as he encounters the blue ghost in those empty eyes.

    Thomas Andre raised the corner of his mouth evilly as he saw Cha Hae-in’s brilliant sword skills coming right up to him.

    [Itarim please guide me.]

    ―――――――!

    That moment.

    Light exploded with a loud noise.

    And the light spread like a wave at high speed and began to encroach on the surroundings.
