Episode 423 Like Ice (3)
Elder Lich’s Active Skill [Soul Extraction].
The effect of this skill is simple.
If it was a skill acquired with essence or a skill cast by an elder lich I t in a normal field.
「The character falls into a [fainting] state.」
The fainting is over.
For reference, this applies only to designated targets, not wide-area skills, but it is possible to counter through various skills other than ntal strength or exorcism.
But…
「The glacier mage, Cariadea, guides the extracted souls into the box of punishnt.」
This [Soul Extraction] case is a little different.
In the ga, it was impossible to block [Soul Extraction] in any way, except for being outside the range
.
Just like this.
Flash-!
The mont I opened my eyes, I saw a crystal cave.
And it was a man who received a soft purple light.
“Look.”
he asks, holding a hamr covered in goblin blood.
“Are you looking for a night mate?”
race is human.
Age estimated to be in early thirties.
He is a little over 180 cm tall and has a kind and warm impression.
‘…I had big feet compared to my height.’
Anyway, it was a face like this.
Now I thought it was blurry even in my mory, but when I saw it, it ca to mind.
Soon, the uncle smiled and said his na.
“Oh, I didn’t introduce myself. My na is Hans.”
Commonly known as Hans A.
The starting point of all Hans and a grateful being who taught the mindset I should live in this world.
He gave a hamr, compass, canteen, and shoes as gifts for the first ti I saw them, and he helped evolve from a savage into a civilized person.
“But why did you kill ?”
Then he asked with a devil-like expression in an instant.
Blood is flowing from the red eyes.
But what do you an?
“Well, I must have died because I did sothing that deserved death, right?”
“You could have forgiven .”
“Forgive …….”
“I had a daughter and a wife.”
Yes…
“I know.”
where can i not know
Then I saw a family portrait in your bag you took away.
It was a young girl about three years old and a wife who looked a few years younger than the man.
But…
“Did you regret… killing when you saw that?”
I answered without a single thought.
“no.”
It is the truth without a single lie.
So why do you regret it?
“If I go back to that ti, I will kill you in the sa way.”
“…….”
“I wouldn’t have been the first target for plunder anyway, Mr. Mister, did they? They didn’t have a family, did they?”
Even if it wasn’t like that in the first place.
Where in the world is there an orphan without a story?
“Don’t worry. There’s no problem living without mom and dad. Your wife and your daughter will be too.”
the source is
So you can trust
Kwajik-!
It was aningless to talk further, so I imdiately jumped in and smashed his head with a light flick with a demon grinder.
But what is this again?
“…You’ve changed. You weren’t like that back then.”
Hans A, who only had his chin left, opened his mouth and continued the conversation in a calm tone.
“…huh?”
what is this scary
[Soul Extraction] Was there anything like this in the pattern?
Wasn’t it just a section where the characters I’d killed so far ca out and attacked ?
A performance not seen in the ga.
“But what do you an by that you have changed?”
I was curious about what he ant, so I asked him back, and he giggled.
“I was so trembling when you killed then.”
“So what?”
“There is no inspiration anymore.”
“aha!”
“I’m sure you will continue to do that. Even if soone kills their parents, daughters and sons, and breaks up a family. I’ll accept everything. Just because the target was your enemy.”
say very bad words
I wonder if he accepted the conversation for no reason, but at least one thing I knew for sure.
“Don’t you know?”
This guy reads my mind.
“You are becoming a monster.”
So, it stabs the deepest part accurately.
“Of course, until now the target was an enemy, so he could have deceived himself. I am not a monster yet.”
Kwajik-!
He hit his jawbone with a hamr, but the voice didn’t stop.
[But.]
“Do you see how tough it is?”
[If it’s not an enemy.]
[If you have to kill in order to live, if it’s an innocent person.] [
No, if it’s a colleague you wanted to protect more than anyone else.] [
So what do you think?]
I didn’t answer.
Because you know it doesn’t make any sense.
That’s because the source of this voice was inside .
[You have already beco a monster.]
To survive.
Doubt and anxiety that have been hidden in a corner of the heart and thoroughly ignored.
[It’s no different from the monsters you’ve killed.]
“…….”
[You’re already a person here.]
After that, Hans A disappeared as the light.
***
My uncle was clearly a degrading person.
A gambler addict who couldn’t have a decent job.
When I won money, I gave a lot of pocket money, but on the contrary, when I lost money, I committed violence and made the target of my anger.
However, there is a saying that if you look for stones in the mountain next to it, you can learn at least one thing.
So did my uncle.
Even thinking about cancer, it wasn’t sothing I would say to an 8-year-old whose father died less than a year ago……. but if I
had to throw the dice anyway.
Do you throw the dice on the board you made instead of playing on the board made by others?
The advice engraved deep in my head has helped a lot in living in this world.
That’s why…….
truggling.
I am walking through a crystal cave.
It is not a real space.
A virtual space that was dragged into fainting due to [Soul Extraction].
‘I didn’t know the crystal cave was the background.’
For reference, the background was always different in the ga.
2nd floor, rocky desert, 4th floor, Sky Tower, 6th floor, Sea, etc. There were tis when he woke up not in a labyrinth, but in a royal palace or sothing like that.
If so, what are the conditions for selecting the background?
‘Maybe this is the most impressive space.’
It’s a reasonable guess.
It was here that I almost died from stepping on a trap, that I t Erwen, and that I killed the first person.
The hardships that the Lord of Abyss, Berzak, was summoned to, must be forgotten for the rest of his life.
Took.
I hurriedly turn around when I heard soone from behind, and I saw a trio of familiar faces.
A mustache man with a shield.
A blonde spearman with a tall physique.
And…
“Kee hee hee hee hee hee!!!”
A woman in a priest’s uniform laughing with her hair half-combed.
Nad (Old) Elisa Half Head Mode.
“Hey, it’s been a while for you too.”
Unlike Hans A, they imdiately pounced on without even trying to talk.
And…….
Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik-!
Within 10 seconds, everything turned into a halo of light.
So, what is my level and how many essences have I eaten? It was a difficult enemy only in the low level state, but there is no difference from goblins now.
In the sense that it is fair to die in one room.
“Huh… how many are left now?”
I woke up in the crystal cave and once again counted the number of enemies I killed, but I’m not sure what.
You can’t rember the number of bread you ate, right?
I can’t even count the exact number of people I’ve killed so far, because I’ve been eating murder while acting like an explorer.
‘……I think I rembered it in the past.’
What Hans A said feels more weighty.
In fact, I didn’t even rember his face until I t him here again.
In fact, I completely forgot about it.
“Elisa. She was so impressive that I definitely rember her…….”
What was the spearman’s na?
Taser gun? Dyson? Well, that was the na……
I imdiately flinched as I recalled the nas of the three people I had just defeated.
It’s because the na of the mustache man ca to mind.
“Hans Argo.”
For reference, the Hans code I gave is C.
“Nimiral.”
Now I’m thinking about it, so from now on, do I have to et all the Hans I’ve killed?
chills down the spine
This one won hans not even hell.
‘How many Hans have I killed so far?’
Fortunately, looking back one by one, it wasn’t long before I actually killed them.
It’s been a while since I hit the last hit, should I?
Hans E, whom I t in the sewer while tracking Elisa, used it as a at shield when the trap was triggered.
It was Erwen who killed Hans J, the magician who betrayed us on Farune Island, and everyone else, apart from that, t and parted ways as if passing by.
Except for just one person.
“My na is Ha Hans Christen…”
Hans G, the demon summoner who killed the doppelganger in the forest.
and this cos right out
Get right first, is this?
“Why did you… kill ? We’re the sa pro players…” Hans
G, who appeared from the side road with his soul mate, the fairy archer, was using a strange tone for so reason.
That’s the most morable scene, so are you stuttering here too?
Well, the shock at that ti was great.
“I didn’t even betray ! It’s just that he exposed as an evil spirit—!”
so what do you say
Kwajik Kwajik-!
Dash and break the head before the conversation continues.
A savage way of living the world much more comfortably.
After that, as I was wandering around the cave, I reconstructed the mories of the people I lived and killed and attacked in a recreated form.
“Now you know! Why did I have to be a looter! I couldn’t help it in that damn place!”
Gencia Neifrin, the player you killed in the Glacier Cave.
I didn’t know then
No, I hadn’t really thought of that.
I don’t think there are any players who start from Noark.
“I said it was a mistake, but it’s only because of it! Die! Die!!”
The three religious n who attacked Team Banpun after being tricked by the tongue of Elisa, who was a priest of Karui, reunited at the hut and killed . Killing
these guys, I truly realized
. That you will be able to live like a human.
Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik-!
In addition to that, nurous looters we t in the labyrinth appeared scattering grudges.
Most of the guys we t in the first half had their heads exploded in one shot, but the guys in the second half were different.
Fur Ahhhh!
Orculis’s lighthouse keeper
Huhhh!
A knight I t in Noark in the past era. “As a result
, I was trying to help
you!”
It wasn’t scary, but as the number of them gradually increased, the burden on my body grew.
It’s like the weight of a sin.
“I… killed so many people…?” At
least hundreds.
Numbers.
But……. “Yes
, it
‘s better.”
If I’m at this level, how bad can the Noarks and the Rose Knights be
?
*** 「The last enemy
is
defeated
.」
「The character’s [stunned] state is canceled.」
「In place of the ghosts that failed to achieve their goal, the wizard of glaciers punishes them. 「
Random penalty will be given until the labyrinth is closed.」
***
When I opened my eyes, I was being dragged along.
With both of my legs being grabbed by soone, I was rubbing my back against the cold, sharp ground
. ! This guy isn’t even wearing gear, so why is he so heavy!”
Sven Farab’s voice.
Yes, you were dragging
along.
While I was being dragged, I looked around.
Strange
phenona that I couldn’t see before were taking place
.
Priests and wizards struggling to move while carrying the fainted body-type explorers on their backs.
I checked the watch on my waist.
‘About 15 minutes……’
The ti when Phase 2 started and I was fainting. ” Leave
Parav now”
“Huh? Are you awake?”
“Yes.”
I couldn’t be more of a burden here, so I quickly ca to my senses and got up. And I instructed Sven Farab to carry soone else.
“Priest Orman! Thank you for your hard work. From now on, the person behind is mine. Please help soone else out there. It’ll be better if we do it together.”
“Whoa… I’m sorry. Parav Paladin must be having a hard ti too.”
“Haha, this level is nothing.”
I imdiately got up from my seat and my sight was secured, so I quickly glanced around and grasped the situation.
‘Two priests, three wizards, two supernatural magicians, one paladin Two archers.’
A total of 12 people, including , woke up from a fainting state.
Even if each person took on only one person, the number would remain, but the condition is so poor that there are cases where one warrior carries two or three others. It’s a very simple
reason .
I didn’t regard patterns as gambling.
‘Are Erwen and Alia still…’
First of all, I took over the two saggy ones and put one on my shoulder. Then, with Futa Rickavan on my back, I gave Jun who was moving. ”
June
.
”
_
_
_ A random penalty that is put on when released from the state. This penalty is completely random, and if you’re lucky, it’s just that you can’t feel the taste, but if it’s severe, one character becos an asshole like now
. ” Are
you okay, Yandel?”
“For now… nothing seems to have changed right away
.” Really.”
“When did you wake up? I want to get a status report.”
“Fifth.”
“You’re faster than expected?”
Jun laughed bitterly at the words he muttered without thinking
. Most of them were ordinary people with no powers. Thanks to that, it was easy to deal with there.”
“Is that so…”
He didn’t seem to want any words of consolation, so he hurriedly moved on to the subject.
“I want to hear what happened while I passed out.
” The first ones to wake up were Priest Orman and Priest Perriton Eriavosti. Really… they’re people who don’t have a single drop of dirty blood on their hands.”
Well, you don’t know that.
Due to the nature of the job, the priests themselves have to hit
the last blow. I hit.’
“But the two of us couldn’t move all of us, so we waited and sohow started moving when the number of people woke up to be able to move.” “How long did that last?” “11
minutes
.
” Were there any other people there?”
“Before I left, no one from Noark or the Rose Knights had woken up, but now I don’t know what it will be like.” Yes, that’s right……. It’s
not
bad.
“As you said, Yandel. I tried to attack those who fainted just in case, but it didn’t work.” That’s
because the fainted ones are invincible while the second phase is maintained. At that
ti, Cariadea does n’t attack either.
When 30 minutes have passed.
Anyone who hasn’t returned by that ti will die,
even if they died inside
.
I am very worried, but I have no choice but to believe.
Putting aside the imdiate problem, I checked the other mbers one by one. There
were a total of three people who suffered heavy penalties.
Jun, who beca crippled.
Jas Carla, an archer who beca blind.
His right hand was gray. Older Didi, dyed with light and hardened like a stone.
I don’t know what kind of penalty the fainted mbers will wake up with, but right now. If so
…
‘What am I?’
What kind of penalty was applied to .
I checked this and that as I walked, and soon I had no choice but to grit my teeth.
Hardly……
Among all the many penalties, this one was taken.
“The character’s active skill is limited in use. Is
it the curse of the Hans I t in the cave?
