“Why are you bothering to lock it up with a barrier? All you have to do is freeze it!”

“······!”

The moment the Frost Lord’s voice was heard, Rex had a hunch.

The Frost Lord is angry.

And very, very much.

If you think about it, it was only natural.

To the Frost Lord, Eugene is more than just an object of admiration.

And that child, who seems to have been kidnapped by the Great Devil, was Eugene’s favorite child.

Since it was a problem involving a child I cared about like my daughter, it was strange that the top of the head did not turn.

“Frostlord! Calm down for a moment-”

“Do your best, Rex!”

Quang!

The Frost Lord’s feet stamped the ground, making a noise.

It was a sound that seemed innocuous at first glance, but the situation changed suddenly when magical power began to surge from her toes.

Irreversible magical power constantly gushes out from Yerina.

Yerina’s hair rose upward after she stopped using the mind technique.

White cold seeps out between my clenched teeth.

The magical energy in the air meets the runaway magical energy and causes a violent vibration.

The magic power in the air, which had received an enormous amount of energy, began to run wild.

The explosion gradually spreads out to the surroundings, synchronizing all magical energy in space.

What results from this is cold magic with an unlimited range.

The power, range, and casting time cannot be controlled at all.

That is why it encroaches most powerfully on all sides.

Water vapor in the air freezes instantly and turns into ice fog.

The green lawn is completely frozen and stuffed in ice in an instant.

Due to the speed of freezing so quickly, the ice became uncontrollable and took the form of awls shooting upward.

“How am I supposed to survive here…?”

Rex cried and screamed, but it was no use.

There was no way to stop the chain reaction that had already begun.

As the icy hell approached at a speed far exceeding the speed at which a person could run, Rex collapsed in shock.

But the very next moment.

“·······?!”

Quaaaang!

A tremendous amount of firepower passed right past Rex’s ears and hit the front.

Heat like hellfire.

After the fire was extinguished, I came to my senses and realized that everything except the area around Rex was frozen cold.

“······Please leave me…”

“what?!”

For a moment, it seemed like a hand was placed on Rex’s shoulder, and then he heard the sound of a man muttering something.

And the moment he looked back, Rex had to believe his eyes.

I could tell that he was born with a constitution that did not allow him to sense demonic energy well.

The fact that an enormous amount of magical energy is currently splitting open space.

The gap in space that had been opened for a very brief moment closed shut without giving Rex a chance to react.

It was as if there had never been a crack from the beginning.

“······ah.”

And about 3 seconds later.

Rex noticed that one person was missing.

A girl who was (presumed to be) kidnapped by the Great Devil has disappeared.

“Rex. What happened to the child?”

“ah.”

A grip that held Rex’s head with such force that it seemed to crush it.

And Rex shivered at the cool sensation he felt behind his back.

“I sent you to solve the kidnapping… but you fight so excitedly that you end up missing the rescue target?”

“Well, actually. It’s complicated here-”

“for a moment.”

The magic around me, which could not be suppressed and was about to run wild again, calmed down at once.

The Frost Lord once again used mental techniques and calmed down the mania.

The place where her eyes were directed was none other than Rex’s hand.

In Rex’s hand, there was clearly an object that had not been there before.

“Where did this come from?!”

“Huh? Why is this in my hand…?”

Black magic stone.

It was a magic stone that could faintly feel the energy of the Great Devil.

The Frost Lord, who took the magic stone from Rex, hurriedly examined it closely by holding it up to the sunlight.

“The shape and even the residual scars all match… This is Eugene’s magic stone…?”

I was certain because I met Eugene and looked at it in person.

This is the orb Eugene used.

And it was the magic stone that disappeared with Eugene and could not be found for three years.

But why does this suddenly appear here?

What was the reason for him to suddenly appear in the hands of Rex in an empty field?

Even Rex was confused by the series of incomprehensible situations.

“You can ask that guy.”

Yerina found something, clenched her fists and took a step forward.

A small area of lawn that survived without freezing.

On top of it, there was a long sword that constantly spewed out magical energy.

It was a sword that was spewing out magical energy and looked as if it was trembling with fear.

.

.

.

“I almost died…”

escaped safely.

As I was sighing in relief, I couldn’t help but laugh out loud because my current situation was so funny.

“It reminds me of the old days.”

Even back then, we barely escaped the disaster when Yerina went wild and froze everything.

If this is a memory, is it a memory?

Of course, it is not a memory I wish to repeat.

‘Mania. ‘You’re suppressing it well.’

This runaway is several times more powerful than the previous runaway before learning the Gwanghalsimbeop.

This is proof that he is doing a good job of suppressing his outbursts.

This is because Gwanghalsimbeop suppresses power in normal times and amplifies it when it needs to be used.

Yerina, who was so stubborn and had the world alone, changed.

If it were before, why should I change? I’m the type of person who would tell you to adapt to me.

Yerina decided to change herself for me and the other heroines.

3 years.

It is by no means a short period of time.

Yerina and the heroines have changed.

The world changed as if heaven and earth were turned upside down.

So, how much has their heart festered by now?

How much damage have I left behind?

No more than this.

I need to return to their embrace as soon as possible.

I made that decision again.

“I’ll have to observe the reaction first.”

There are some things left behind for experimentation.

One is the magic stone I used.

I told it to Rex and left.

And the other one is Belphegor.

After ordering the guy to maintain the sword’s form until further orders, he left it in the ground.

Belphegor is one of the few people who can currently recognize me.

I’m thinking of seeing what happens when he tries to explain me to people.

If possible, I would like to at least convey the fact that I am alive.

no. It would be nice to just have hope that I might be alive…

Of course, it would be dramatic for something to suddenly appear like a miracle at a time when your mind has festered and been pushed to its limit, but there is nothing more selfish than that.

“The meeting with the White Magic Tower lord was a failure.”

You can see the tall White Magic Tower in the distance.

And the airship floating around the White Magic Tower and scouting the surrounding area is also clearly visible.

We will never be able to approach Temulen while that many troops are guarding the Magic Tower.

Or go through there.

Otherwise, I have no choice but to promise the next time…

“Let’s promise next time.”

It’s so dangerous.

As soon as she realized that it was an enemy she could not recognize just now, Yerina used an indiscriminate wide-range attack…

If the guard loosens or Temulen leaves the White Magic Tower, it would be better to approach.

“Aaaah! Please help me!”

“······?”

At that time, a scream was heard from behind.

Surprised, I looked through the grass and saw a huge spider tangled in a vine, turned upside down and struggling.

It seemed like it was very scared, and white spider webs were constantly coming out from behind it.

A spider that speaks human language.

Feeling an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, I ripped off the vine and turned the guy over.

And then at that moment.

The spider’s body twisted grotesquely, as if molting, then shrunk and transformed into a human body.

That figure was clearly the girl wearing the hat we saw earlier!

“you······!”

“Phew. Thank you. I can’t transform without my eight legs still on the ground. But why are you looking like that, mister?”

“What are you?”

“I told you. I think I’m an ordinary human….”

Even as she speaks, the girl avoids her eyes and trails off, as if she’s a little stung.

He doesn’t have a soul, and he knows how to turn into a spider, but he’s still an ordinary human?

It’s so shameless that it’s almost ridiculous.

“Why did you follow me?”

He was clearly planning to leave this girl behind and run away.

It seems that in that short period of time, it slipped through the crack and followed me.

There’s already an uproar over there because they misunderstand that this girl has been kidnapped…

“I’m curious. Who is you? And who am I? How can I miss an opportunity like this?”

“What does this have to do with who you are?”

“I know I’m strange too. I’m obviously human… but I’m human… but something is different. I’ve been feeling it for a long time, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. But you’re the only one. “You can’t hear my name properly, so I thought you might have something to do with my identity.”

“······.”

It is certainly a being shrouded in mystery.

Since I don’t know anything about him, he seems to have appeared in the three years since I disappeared.

He seems to be such an important figure in the alliance that if he is kidnapped, the Allied fleet and Yerina will be dispatched immediately.

“What is the blue light next to you?”

“yes?”

I asked, pointing to the small flames following him.

Then the girl looked embarrassed and surprised.

Even so, his face lights up as if he is happy to see you.

“Can you see this?! All this time, I thought only I could see it…! This is my friend, a rascal!”

“friend?”

“Yes. It was originally a ghost that was wandering around the cemetery, but when I asked if it wanted to go with me, it started chasing me. Since then, it has been staying with me and assisting me with my magic. But no matter how much I explain it, no one believes it! “This is my first time seeing you!”

“······.”

A girl who is very excited and keeps explaining things like a child.

At this, I ended up looking a little suspicious.

What a ghost.

Is it an effect of visiting the Demon World?

It seems that I have now become capable of seeing ghosts.

As a result, I started seeing ghosts at night.

I hate that.

“That’s not in my head.”

“······?”

I was about to say something when I looked at the chain on the girl’s hat.

Because this chain is only visible to me and this girl doesn’t seem to be able to recognize it.

I cannot recognize the girl’s name, and she cannot recognize the existence of the chain.

Even if something is twisted, it feels like it is tightly twisted.

In a sane world, it’s like the two of us have a bug, and we keep breaking away from the rules and stumbling around.

As the girl said, it is clear that we have something in common or are related.

“You said you had an owner. What kind of person is that?”

“Hmm. I don’t remember much. All I remember is that he often stroked my head. But he was a really bad person.”

“why?”

“He just walked away without saying a word to me. I was just learning how to speak and trying to become stronger to be helpful… When I woke up, he was gone. When I asked people, all they said was that he had gone far away. It was only later, when my hair grew thicker, that I realized. That person. He died while pretending to be cool. As a hero who saved people and defeated villains, I met my end. Isn’t it funny? I didn’t even give a name to the slave I took in. The fact that a heartless person who didn’t give anything and left without saying a word is looked up to as a hero by the public… When we meet again, I want to ask him why he did that to me. Then why did he pat me on the head? What was I to you? .”

“······.”

“No, think about it. It’s strange. Isn’t it normal to pick up an unrelated child and send them to a wealthy home or to an institution? The fact that a person who was just looking for a place to live took me in, at least shows some affection. “Isn’t that what happens? A person like that just leaves without saying a word to me? Is it okay to leave alone a child who can’t speak well and doesn’t know what to do? I don’t care what happens to him? Isn’t he really crazy?”

“······.”

“Oh, I got a little excited. I’m sorry. What about you? What kind of person is he?”

The girl spoke while chewing her lips as if to burn her hostility, but then looked up at me with a wide smile.

This left me speechless.

This guy…

No matter how you look at it, it’s anonymous.
