To fulfill the trust and to end the never-ending winter, my colleagues and I headed to the snowy mountains once again.

To be precise, this place is called the northern end.

“If you go further than this, you can’t come back.”

None of my colleagues answered my question.

“There’s going to be a fierce battle soon. Well, there was a fierce battle on the way here, but it’s going to be harder than that.”

I said this while looking at my women, Sylvia, Clara and Vivienne.

I wished they would go back if possible, but they answered without hesitation.

“I don’t know if this will help, but I want to help Si-an until the end.”

“I’m your partner. I’ll definitely follow you.”

“For the glory of the warrior.”

Although each person answered differently, their answers were consistent.

In the end, unable to break their stubbornness, I became more determined. Even if I die, I will protect them.

“Since there’s no one, I’ll send the foot-sore ones.”

“Please.”

The foot tribe, which was supposed to be the return vehicle, ended up leaving like that.

“Then, I will give you a miracle.”

Before reaching the northernmost point, Helen and Irene granted us another miracle.

“Warmest Goddess, please take care of them.”

“Give our children the strength to resist.”

Helen granted him the miracle of warmth in the name of Hestia, and Irina granted him cold resistance with Oronak’s ‘Burning Ice’.

In Helen’s words, multiple miracles.

With this, everyone was able to move around somewhat properly on the snowy mountain.

‘Am I the only one who can exert power with electricity?’

The miracle of cold resistance granted by Irina meant nothing to me.

Because she had Oronak’s protection, cold resistance, wrapped around my body, which was a higher concept than miracle.

And that meant I was central to this expedition.

“Are you nervous?”

“Of course.”

I answered Camilla’s question, which came out of the blue, honestly.

“If I make a mistake, someone here will die.”

My family: Sylvia, Clara and Vivienne.

Helen and Camilla are now starting to become close friends.

Although they didn’t talk much, the four knights began to build a certain camaraderie.

Finally, Irina, Sylvia’s aunt and our helper.

I hoped that if possible, none of them would die.

“I want to end it without sacrifice.”

“It is impossible. It is not easy to see the legacy of God.”

“I know, but it would be even more stupid to give up and say it’s impossible.”

There was always something I couldn’t do, and running away didn’t change anything.

“Can do, can’t do doesn’t matter. You have to do it. Because I’m the best.”

Although it is embarrassing to call myself the eldest, the word eldest suits me better than leader.

“So, I declare it here. I will protect everyone and complete the trust safely.”

That was my determination, and my declaration that I would definitely achieve it.

. . .

“That’s it, warrior.”

Camilla wanted Cian to feel confident.

Although I didn’t explain it to him on purpose, the knight’s aura, the wizard’s magic, and the priest’s holy power had one thing in common.

It was a technology whose power changed dramatically depending on a firm determination.

The article is written of his own free will.

The wizard uses his knowledge and skills

The priest believes in himself

A single-minded determination honed in this way sometimes brings about miracles that defy the will of heaven.

It was for this reason that the weakest knight on the battlefield was able to return from battle alive, that a wizard who was called the world’s dullest was able to perform magic that no one else could, and that a lowly priest was able to become the greatest apostle.

“Cyan?! Too fast!”

But I didn’t want my motivation to be this excessive.

“Sir, slow down a bit… I can’t hear you.”

Cyan ran out.

As I said before, it’s to protect everyone.

And now, really intending to put it into practice, he charges towards the group of snow mountain trolls.

“That’s reckless!”

Camilla had no choice but to wrap herself in Aura and chase after Cyan, who was charging forward without fail, but it was already too late.

Kwaaang!

Every time he threw his black spear, it would sweep through a group of trolls, and when he swung his white sword, the trolls’ heads would fall off.

Just 10 seconds.

The number of trolls, which had been close to thirty, fell to less than half.

“What if you already use Vitality Boost?”

Increased vitality.

A technique that uses the mighty power of Xi’an to strengthen physical abilities through divine miracles.

If I had asked this of other priests, they would have called me crazy, beyond absurd.

It was such a dangerous technique. In the first place, the miracle of God cannot even be used in this way.

But Cyan solved the problem.

It was thanks to his outstanding physical abilities and unusual sexual power.

However, the downside was that the fuel efficiency was poor, so I couldn’t fire it repeatedly. So I tried to use it at a crucial moment, but Cyan was firing it excessively from the beginning.

“It’s okay. I took a deep breath and woke up, and for some reason I felt full of energy.”

“……”

It was a relaxed look, different from the first appearance he showed.

It grew this much in just a few hours?

Helen came up to Camilla and explained to her, who was looking puzzled.

“At first, Mr. Si-an did not like miracles. However, he gradually changed as he accepted miracles and recognized the power of the Holy Spirit as part of his power. Especially since the power of the Holy Spirit is a field where there is a large gap depending on one’s mindset.”

“I knew it, but I didn’t know it would go this far.”

“If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn’t have been able to grow to this extent in one breath, but you are different, Sian.”

Camilla wanted to ask why it was different, but she didn’t ask because of Helen’s recent attitude of wanting to keep quiet about Sian.

Maybe because we spent a long time together, we were able to understand each other’s feelings.

“Don’t say anything now and follow Si-an.”

“Okay.”

At Helen’s direction, Camilla immediately led the group.

It was a simple task of following Si-an, but for now, this was enough.

. . .

After clearing out three groups of snow mountain trolls, we were able to reach what is known as the northern end of the world.

“Last name?”

Strangely enough, there was an old castle in a region so cold that it chilled even the soul.

“It looks like a building built in the mythical era.”

“Well, isn’t that great? It seems to have historical value.”

“That’s right. However, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to stay in this fight.”

“That’s true.”

Naturally, there were snow mountain trolls stationed within the castle.

That’s an unprecedented number.

“The past is important, but the present and the future are more important to us. Don’t worry, just fight!”

“If you say so, I’ll break it without hesitation!”

This time too, I threw the black spear without delay.

I headed towards the snow mountain troll with the sound of cutting wind, but fell limply to the ground as if blocked by something.

“What is it?”

“The miracle of an external god is also being demonstrated.”

Helen showed her pale expression for the first time. It seemed that the current situation was not so good as she had expected.

“Cyan, something is strange.”

“What?”

Clara, who had taken up the sniping position, came over to me as if she had sensed something strange and explained what she had seen.

“There’s no movement from the troll over there.”

“Literally not moving?”

“Yeah, it’s like time has stopped… ”

“It seems to be the unique power of the ‘one who walks the lowest ground’.”

Irina, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, suddenly approached them and shared some of the knowledge she had.

“Irina, do you know something?”

“That is so. According to the story handed down through the village oral tradition, the reason Ornak risked his life to fight the ‘One Who Walks the Bottom’ was because the ‘One Who Walks the Bottom’ was the only one of the external gods with the power to stop time.”

“???”

What the fuck? Stop time?

No, wait, that’s not it?!

“Are you kidding?”

“This is no joke. According to the history books collected in our kingdom, the ‘one who walks the lowest floor’ has a unique power that stops the world’s time for 23 hours and 20 minutes.”

In battles with time abilities, those with time abilities are often called overpowered or balance-destroying, as they are fraudulent abilities. This is because everything is meaningless in front of the absolute concept of time.

Fighting an opponent with such abilities? It’s funny how I felt so determined just a moment ago, I feel like running away right now.

“Helen, I think the trust was wrong?”

“Gwae, it’ll be fine. The being we have to fight is not an external god, but the legacy of an external god. The range of use will be different.”

Helen also looked somewhat flustered, but she made a more cool-headed judgment of the current situation than anyone else.

“And Sian-nim has a blessing from Oronak-nim himself. I believe that he, who has a history of defeating ‘the lowest walker’ in the past, will give you the necessary abilities.”

“Definitely..”

If you say it like that, it seems like you have some chance of winning.

If they cheat, we’ll have to cheat too.

“And we also have new water.”

Irina took out ‘Burning Ice’ for the first time, demonstrating the power of the divine water.

As the blue flames flickered, the surroundings were enveloped in blue light.

“If you are in this light, you will be free from the power of the ‘one who walks the lowest ground’.”

“Oh, thank you, Irina!”

When I was worried that I would have to fight alone, Irina played a big role.

However, the range of blue light was not very wide and could not be maintained indefinitely.

“I alone can only maintain one hour.”

“Then, let’s finish it quickly.”

“Don’t worry, Si-an. I can do something like you to some extent.”

“Then I will finish it even faster.”

“Then, warrior, would you like to enter the castle?”

“Of course.”

So we entered the castle.
