Frozen Castle (3)

“You want to go inside the perennial ice well and fight the devil directly?”

When the Archduke asked again with a slightly surprised expression, the royal guard knight Yutalan next to him with a puzzled expression added another word.

“Based on what I felt when briefly encountering the devil, I estimate that the minimum risk level is over level 6. It would take quite a few six-star warriors to rush in to subdue him, but can you take on him alone?”

It was a polite question, but it was also an issue that made Harang suspicious. That’s because he looked young and weak.

‘No matter how much you won against a 6-star mercenary, the devil’s strength will be completely different… … .’

However, Harang nodded as if there was no problem and held Mitiel.

“Can you help me for a moment?”

Seeing Harang talking to his staff, the wizards looked like they were wondering if there were all kinds of things.

Wizards were beings who looked at the world mathematically, so it was absurd to see them do such ridiculous things.

Ugh!!

However, Mitiel rang softly as if in response to Harang’s words, then radiated light and changed its shape into a ring.

Harang raised his dust-like divine power by putting his hands together in prayer and cast a spell on Mitiel.

“Uh, how could that…?” … ?”

“Did the wand respond to human speech?”

“Wait a minute, I’ve seen that wand in the encyclopedia. It looks similar to the staff of the warrior’s companion, Sage Natalen… … .”

“No way.”

The wizards slowly approached and looked at Mitiel, who had changed form.

Mitiel changed its shape, but its unique pattern remained the same, and the wizards frothed at the mouth when they confirmed that it was the real thing.

“Ji, it’s real! “It’s the real Mitiel!”

“Oh my god. “Oh my god, this can’t be happening.”

“I never thought I would see the legendary staff that is said to summon a meteorite before I die… … .”

The Archduke smiled as if he was amused by their reactions. Just a little while ago, you said there was no need to listen to what the kid said, but now you’re reacting like you’re going to faint.

“There is no need to doubt your skills.”

“… … .”

Contrary to what the Grand Duke said, Harang did not really like his magic.

While wondering if there was anything that could be of help, he opened subspace, took out an old scroll, unfolded it, and floated it in the air.

“Ah, subspace?!”

The wizards foamed at the mouth again, but Harang paid no attention to them and concentrated.

‘Even with the help of auxiliary magic, it is not very effective. Divine power… … It would be nice if we could utilize this a little more.’

Unfortunately, there was a limit to the divine power that Harang could produce. It’s because she didn’t train properly.

If I had been able to use my divine power a little more efficiently, I think I would have performed much better magic.

‘Should I go to the Holy Empire later and ask to learn? Or to Archbishop Ezakt… … .’

While thinking about this and that, Harang cast a spell on Mitiel, turning it into a round bead and floating it in the air.

“You will be able to endure the cold for a while. Not for long… … “It will be enough to withstand the cold wind for a while.”

“… … “Isn’t this where magic is performed?”

“The antidote to cold poisoning will be done in a special place beyond the mountains.”

The destination is the Magic Tower of Flowers.

Originally, Harang tried not to let others know about the location of the flower tower, but he found out that the flower tower changes its location periodically anyway, so there was no need to hide it.

Besides, even if they knew the location, they wouldn’t be able to enter without Harang’s permission.

“It’s a special place beyond the mountains… … “Do you have anything to prepare?”

“We need six court wizards. Of course, we will also need a bodyguard to escort His Highness the Archduke. The round trip may take several days.”

“I will follow.”

Guard Captain Yutalan spoke, but Grand Duke Baella shook his head.

“The Glaisa guild will be advancing in a few days. “You stay here and wait while stopping them.”

“but… … .”

“I’ll be back soon, so there’s no need to force me to stop. When I come back… … .”

When the Archduke clenched his fist, the veins bulged out. It could truly be said to be a manly fist.

“You will have regained all your strength.”

If the Archduke returns to his original state, Glaisa will be no match for the Guild. So he doesn’t need to fight too hard. The Archduke was saying this to Jutalan.

“… … “I will follow your orders.”

His Majesty the Grand Duke always carries out his words. Yutalan quietly knelt down and bowed his head.

“Let’s go.”

* * *

The journey was short and thick.

Because the wizards were unable to climb the mountain, an unfortunate incident occurred in which a small elite bodyguard had to carry them up the cliff, but fortunately, the archduke’s body withstood the icy cold wave.

‘In that condition, even a little bit of cold would be fatal… … .’

Watching the Archduke climbing the mountain steadily without any sign of difficulty was enough to make me respect him. It occurred to me once again that there are many great people in this world.

It took about three days to arrive at the flower tower. Even considering the fact that he was moving with wizards with weak stamina, the speed was quite fast. This meant that the Archduke’s condition was urgent.

“There’s nothing, right? “Gasp.”

“I’m going to die from exhaustion. Huh, wow. Cough!”

The wizards must have been so desperate that when they reached the top of the mountain peak, they collapsed against a tree, sweating profusely even though it was cold.

As they said, there was a rock wall with a hole at the top of the peak, but even after entering the inside, there was only an empty space with nothing in it.

“… … “You must follow me closely.”

Without giving the wizards a chance to rest, Harang raised them all up and walked toward the empty space.

Even Grand Duke Baella looked suspicious, as if he had not sensed the flower tower at all, but he was the first to follow after Harang.

The mages cannot afford to lie down while the Archduke is leading the way. The wizards, who were sweating profusely and walking around the empty lot following Harang, soon ended up screaming.

“evil!”

Is it because you were surprised?

It wasn’t.

As a magical phenomenon so mysterious and incomprehensible unfolded before my eyes, a tidal wave of enormous emotion came pouring in all at once, and I ended up screaming.

“Oh, this can’t be right…” … .”

“How could this happen…?” … ?”

In a space where there was nothing, a huge magic tower suddenly appeared.

Even though the weather was cold all year round, flowers were blooming at the Magic Tower and a field was spread out nearby.

It seemed as if this place was the only one enjoying spring.

Harang walked with long strides and stepped onto the field that could be said to be the border of the Magic Tower. The wizards hurriedly tried to rush in before the archduke, but fell after hitting a transparent wall.

“Ugh!”

“Keck!”

“… … .”

It was true that in the past, when he was briefly brought in to remove the curse of the maid Soirin, those who were not permitted by Harang could not set foot in the magic tower.

Even if the Archduke regains his original strength, it will be difficult for him to come in.

“You can come in now.”

Hearing Harang’s words, Grand Duke Baella took the first step. There was no barrier blocking it like before.

The wizards and the guard knights trampled across the field and entered the magic tower, looking around with wide eyes.

“I can’t believe such a large space exists.”

“How is it that a magic tower that seems to reach the sky has never been discovered? … .”

“No, wait. That couldn’t be… … !”

The wizards who discovered the ‘Recovery Field’ located in the center hurried over with their exhausted bodies and fell to the ground to examine it.

“Wow, I can’t believe it. How on earth does it work?”

“I don’t understand the principle at all.”

“It looks like ancient magic… … .”

“Was this level of magic possible in the old days? “It can’t be.”

Leaving the shocked wizards behind, Harang spoke to the Grand Duke.

“Just sit in the center of the recovery field and wait for a moment.”

After saying that, Harang went upstairs and found the necessary tools. Although the flower tower was not the most up-to-date as a magic tower, it was full of a variety of magic equipment, thanks to which it was able to be equipped with the facilities I wanted.

After connecting the artifact, ‘Ainex’s Soul Chain’, into a hexagon around the recovery field, and setting up a pillar called ‘Earth’s Awl’ at the apex, Harang instructed the wizards to stand there.

“I’ve seen this artifact in the encyclopedia!”

“It is an artifact that was lost in the distant past. It is said to have the effect of holding the soul… … .”

“Huh, what about the awl of the earth? Isn’t it an artifact that controls and blocks the energy flowing through the earth? “I can’t believe that an object that was only used in the palaces of ancient kingdoms is hidden in a place like this.”

The wizards, who had witnessed an ancient artifact that was difficult to see in their lifetime, stood at their respective pillars with excited expressions and sat down as instructed by Harang.

Their role was to operate and maintain the artifact, so there wasn’t much to ask.

Harang approached the archduke, who was shirtless and holding Estelle on his palm, knelt down on one knee, and placed his palm on his chest.

“let’s begin.”

“I wish you good luck.”

After taking a deep breath, Harang closed his eyes and poured mana into his palms.

Immediately after that, a faint light flashed, and Harang’s soul escaped and instantly seeped into Estel.

… … When I opened my eyes again, there was a whole blue and red world unfolding before me.

Harang raised his head. One side of the sky was shining blue with divine light, but a dark red energy was slowly encroaching on it, and it was clear that it was demonic energy.

The moment I got on my feet and tried to move, I felt something empty and lowered my head.

‘The clothes… … .’

All equipment and clothes had been removed, leaving him naked.

As I closed my eyes and concentrated, the pure white uniform I wore when I was a Baekya Castle trainee was created and covered my whole body, and the Blue Moon Mark was held in my right hand.

With his head tied tightly, he headed towards the center as if swimming. The ground was made of what looked like huge crystals of pure white snowflakes, and every time you stepped on it, it made a pleasant sound.

However, in the center, there was something that looked like a strange red heart beating, and Harang, who guessed that it was the core of demonic energy, tried to swing Cheongwolheun.

Whirling! Good!

“… … !”

However, a red streak flew from somewhere and snatched Harang’s right hand. I quickly stretched out my left hand and tried to use magic, but another red stalk flew in right away and snatched my left arm.

Whilick! Good! Stick to it!

Next, several bundles of red stalks flew in and bound the waist, thighs, calves, ankles, and finally the neck.

Clink!

Blue moon marks falling on snowflake crystals.

On the contrary, Harang’s body was restrained and lifted into the air.

-That’s bizarre.

A voice coming from somewhere.

Harang looked upward.

There, a handsome man with pale blue skin, dressed in aristocratic clothing, held an aristocratic cane in one hand, looking down at Harang.

-You foolish human boy. I also had no idea you would come here in person. Isn’t that too reckless? Didn’t you guess that I had taken over this space?

He came down gracefully and made eye contact with Harang.

-Pure white silver eyes… … It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such pure white.

The man came closer and slowly stroked Harang’s cheek. Even her hand gestures felt elegant, making me think she was truly noble.

-I was born with very strong Caladon blood. Really, these are the eyes I want to have. If I had met him outside, I would have pulled it out and put it on my earrings and bracelet. Boy, do you know? Your eyes are more beautiful than jewels and brighter than starlight… … .

Harang’s response to his words was only dry.

“You are, after all, the Great Devil.”

-Oh, you know how to talk. I thought it was a doll because she kept her mouth closed. Okay, to answer your question, I am the Archdemon ‘Kilrkish’. To be precise, it would be correct to think of it as his alter ego.

Kilrkish. It’s a name I’ve heard of before. It was so famous that it was impossible not to know about it. He is one of the six great devils who have been reigning since ancient times, and is known to have lost his body and been driven out to the demon world by the warrior Kaladan 500 years ago.

“Are you sending an alter ego because you need a physical body?”

-For the sake of this feat, the King of Demon World sent my soul floating to Astera, and it was a fateful meeting with Estel in the eternally frozen land. Yes, boy. You are right. Through the Dragon King’s divine artifact, I tried to make my wish come true by using the Grand Duke’s body as my puppet. but… … .

He moved the side of Harang’s hair behind his shoulder, then slowly moved his hand down and placed it on his chest.

-Now there is no need for that.

“… … .”

Suddenly, a pure white line appeared on Harang’s chest.

It was connected somewhere high up in the sky, and this was the ‘spirit link’ that connected the body and soul outside of Estel.

-If this is cut off, you will never be able to return to your body. on the other way… … When I have the broken link, boy. Your body becomes mine.

He brought his face closer to Harang. At a breathing distance, he speaks slowly, as if reciting poetry.

-Caladern’s blood, overflowing talent, brilliant destiny, and dazzlingly beautiful body. These are all gifts prepared for me… … .

For the first time in a long time, Kilrkish was in a very excited state, unusual for a noble from the demon world.

This body was sufficient to be used as a stepping stone connecting the Demon World and Astera, and it was also sufficient to be offered as a sacrifice to the currently sealed incarnation of the Demon King.

But, I didn’t want to do that.

‘iced coffee. It’s a body I don’t want to offer even to my lord… … .’

The body in front of him was so sweet that even the great devil who had lived for hundreds of years was blinded by desire.

“… … .”

Because of that.

Why doesn’t that boy, who is on the verge of death, resist?

Why aren’t you struggling?

Without thinking at all, I stretched out my pale, dry hand to the ring of souls extending from the boy’s chest… … .
