Chapter 123: Chapter 123
Cha Hae-in spent a lot of time hanging out with the ice elves and living in their village to return to Earth.
Whenever they had a chance, they flew on Kaisel and searched for the rift in the dimension they rode over.
At first, I thought I would be able to go back soon.
I was just going back the way I came.
However, Cha Hae-in had no choice but to hit a wall soon.
First of all, flying through a terrible blizzard that obscured your vision was a problem.
Above all, the biggest problem was that when I went up to the sky, there was not one dimensional crack that existed there.
A world that has lost its monarch.
This frozen forest was being torn to shreds in real time, wandering through the dimensional rifts.
In the sky of the frozen forest, countless dimensional cracks were forming.
Finding the rift in the dimension connected to Earth was never an easy task.
However, Cha Hae-in and Kaisel did not give up and wandered through the blizzard every day.
In the meantime.
A really big thing happened.
-Grrrung....
-Kaisel?!
At some point, the power of Kaisel, the dragon that protected Cha Hae-in, began to weaken day by day.
The reason was simple.
The reason why a shadow soldier could be immortal was because he was supplied with magic from the shadow lord.
However, Kaisel could no longer receive his magical power because the distance from Seong Jin-woo was too far away.
– I can't. If this happens, Kaisel will be destroyed before he can find the gate back to Earth.
This wasn't Earth.
You couldn't predict when and where what kind of enemy would appear.
If he had to encounter an unexpectedly strong enemy, Kaisel's power was absolutely necessary.
Cha Hae-in stopped trying to find the gate through the snowstorm from then on.
It was never about giving up.
– Let's trust our husband. He will definitely find me wherever I am.
A confident voice.
Cha Hae-in trusted Sung Jin-woo.
He believed that he would surely find him wherever he was.
Because he was the one who came to find himself even in this world, where he was destined to never meet.
While waiting for Seong Jin-woo here quietly, Cha Hae-in began teaching swordsmanship to the young ice elves.
Even if you leave this place someday.
I hope that these children will develop the strength to protect themselves from the ice spirits that invade the village whenever they have a chance.
And it was about then.
Cha Hae-in, who frequently dealt with spirits near the Echo Forest, discovered 'gray eyes'.
* * *
To find his mother, Suho decided to leave for Echo Forest.
"Are you really going?"
The expressions on the faces of the ice elves watching the scene were full of uneasiness.
"Are you okay? The Echo Forest is a really dangerous place..."
"That's right. I also said To enter there, you have to be at least Class A by human standards."
"Is Suho grade A?"
"Even though Suho is Chacha's son, why does he look so weak? I don't think the energy I feel is less than half of the chacha."
"Ah, that's the same for everyone. Of all the humans who have invaded here, no one has been stronger than Chacha."
Ironically, soon after Cha Hae-in left for Echo Forest, heavily armed humans began to come over, as if a new gate connected to the earth had opened.
How absurd it would be if Cha Hae-in came back and found out about this later.
Anyway, humans started to come over here, but the ice elves did not develop friendly relations with the humans.
In the first place, the purpose of the demons' existence is to 'destroy' everything according to the orders of the lords they serve.
It was an existence that destroyed everything but themselves.
It was impossible to have friendly relations with mere humans.
In that respect, Cha Hae-in could be said to be a very unusual existence.
Because she was a savior who helped them.
No, even if that were the case, if it were not possible to talk to each other, the relationship like now might not have been created.
The reason Cha Hae-in was able to talk with the Ice Elves in the first place was because of the 'necklace' gifted by Seong Jin-woo.
It is a special necklace prepared by Seong Jin-woo as a gift for the 16th wedding anniversary.
Seong Jin-woo put a number of strange functions for Cha Hae-in into the necklace, and one of them was the interpretation function.
In fact, the purpose of Sung Jin-woo putting that function into the necklace was for a very personal reason.
It is to make the conversation work so that Cha Hae-in can run errands even for shadow soldiers who cannot speak Korean.
And thanks to that private function, Cha Hae-in was the only one who was able to communicate with the Ice Elves and not antagonize them.
However, other humans who were unable to communicate with them were just prey to be hunted as soon as they were seen by the Ice Elves.
So when I met humans, I only asked one question.
Do you know 'Sung Jin-woo'?
It was because they could be the people Cha Hae-in's husband sent to find her.
Even if he couldn't speak the language, he was able to pronounce at least his name, so if someone who understood the name 'Sung Jin-woo' appeared, he was willing to save it.
Of course....
Unfortunately, no one knew Seong Jin-woo.
At that fact, the Ice Elves clicked their tongues in complete disbelief.
'Shadow Lord Seong Jin-Woo' rather knew people from other dimensions like themselves.
He was the only victor in the long and grueling War of Lords, and as a result he became the true ruler of all these planes.
However, none of the people on Earth who were saved by him really remembered him.
It was a really brutal thing.
"I will guide you on the way to the Echo Forest."
Shirka hopped over the snow and stepped in front of Suho.
His movements were much lighter and more agile than before.
It was thanks to Suho confirming that Shirka was not an enemy and deciphering 'Kasaka's poison'.
As her muscle strength, which had been damaged by the snake venom, recovered, Sirka opened her chest more confidently than ever before.
"Ahem. Even if you look at it like this, I am the guardian of the Baruka tribe."
Guardians are those who guard the borders of the Echo Forest.
Of course, I knew exactly how to get there.
"Then please."
Suho disappeared through the blizzard with Sirka, and the ice elves of the village left behind looked at them worriedly for a long time even after they disappeared.
* * *
The moment we reached Echo Forest through a snowstorm.
Suho was able to see with his own eyes the true nature of the spirits feared by the Ice Elves.
In the air where the blizzard was blowing, the ice blocks suddenly coalesced and turned into monsters.
[Ice Golem]
[
Ice Golem]
[Ice Golem]
...
Shirka's complexion turned pale at the sight of countless ice golems thumping in the forest.
"be careful! They are the spirits of the Echo Forest! But why did it come out already?"
At those words, Suho and Ver's eyes lit up at the same time.
The spirits that had no substance nested in the ice and created their own substance.
That was the true identity of the Ice Golem.
[Little Lord! Apparently, all the golems that destroyed the ground outside the dungeon were also spirits!]
Even before Ver's cry was over, Suho was already running towards the ice golems with his twin swords out.
"Wake up!"
Wow!
At that moment, around Suho, the shadow soldiers swaying black steam rose up all at once.
[Because I am the master's spear!]
Wedge-!
The shadow spearman, Quay, jumped forward faster than anyone else as if he had been waiting for this moment.
[Mummuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
]
The Shadow Minotaur Minnow and Tau pushed the Ice Golems from Suho's left and right with force.
[Number of storable shadows: 3/3]
This is just a full-time job.
They were shadow soldiers that Suho could save, but there were a lot of day laborers that Suho had just extracted today.
"Everyone come out!"
[Shadow Kobold Lv.1]
[Shadow Kobold Lv.1]
[Shadow Kobold Lv.1]
....
[Shadow Troll Lv.1]
Knight Grade
All those monsters I hunted as soon as they fell right here.
Suho had extracted all of the hunting tribes and hid them in the shadows.
That number is...
[Number of shadows that can be extracted: 36/36]
"Wipe it all out!"
Kerruk!
Wow!
At Suho's command, a total of 36 shadow soldiers began to attack the ice golems.
"What is this number?!"
Shirka, who was taken aback by the untimely appearance of the ice golems, widened her eyes as she saw the soldiers summoned by Suho.
"As expected, you are Chacha's son!"
Of course, compared to Cha Hae-in's shadow dragon, Kaisel, the power was far less than that, but instead, Suho's soldiers were more numerous.
In addition, unlike Kaisel, who was getting weaker the more he used his strength, this one was truly an immortal army that would never die as long as the guardian had enough mana!
However, Sirka fell behind and shot an arrow herself to help Suho, telling him something he didn't know.
"Suho, be careful! Same goes for the spirits of the Echo Forest! No matter how many times I kill them, they keep appearing!
[Mummuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
!
Just in time, the Ice Golem's body, made of ice, was shattered by Minnow and Tau's brutal strength.
[The Ice Golem has been defeated.]
[The Ice Golem has been defeated.]
At the same time, an amazing sight unfolded.
Shwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
new spirits penetrated into the wreckage of the ice golems that collapsed after riding the cold wind.
Then, the surrounding ice coalesced again, and the ice golem was resurrected in a normal state.
Seeing this, Suho's eyes flashed.
'Playing?'
They were weird guys.
Although the principles are opposite to those of the Shadow Soldiers, in the end, they were similar to those who were infinitely regenerated no matter how many times they were killed.
"Good?"
Suho's eyes sparkled.
Enemies that continued to regenerate no matter how many times they were killed were obviously difficult to deal with.
But what about the count?
"Wasn't this a good place to level up?"
snap.
[Purchased 'Item: Intermediate Mana Potion'.]
Suho immediately drank the Mana Potion in one shot and fiercely exposed it.
"Come, however you like."
And be my experience.
