A genius gamer is reincarnated into a famous hero episode 155

Frozen Castle (6)

Avalanche, the wolf spirit, boasted that he could take Harang anywhere. So, I wondered if it knew how to move through space over long distances, but that wasn’t the case. It was like running quickly over long distances like Chukjibeop.

Because you’re running through the air above the sea, you don’t have to worry about dangerous waters, and because you’re running under clouds, you’re not affected by dangerous airspace.

Hehehe… !

The cool sea breeze blows.

A normal person would feel refreshed, but Harang was breaking into a cold sweat and biting his lip as he adjusted his clothes.

Avalanche noticed that Harang was in a strange condition and spoke to him.

-Hey, kid. It looks bad.

“… … it’s okay.”

He let out a cold breath and sat cross-legged with difficulty.

‘I haven’t completely digested the second Estelle yet, but the side effects… … It’s getting worse.’

First, Estelle gave Harang various abilities.

Abilities such as allowing him to ignore the Guardian’s power or exert more powerful power against demons were created, but they did not strengthen Harang’s abilities themselves.

This second Estelle felt a little different.

Although it had no special powers, it contained an incredible amount of pure mana!

At first, Harang felt very excited when he absorbed all that mana. However, even now, three months after absorbing Estel, he was barely able to digest the energy, so it actually acted like a poison.

“Ugh… … .”

Cold sweat runs down my face.

Although he tried to hide it from the Grand Duke, in fact, Harang’s condition had been very bad for three months. There was still a terrible chill moving around inside my body, and my body temperature was constantly rising to withstand it.

It was possible for Harang to maintain his sanity like this because he was resistant to Estelle’s harsh energy thanks to being a contractee of Calantatis.

However, no matter how resistant you are, how can your body withstand the cold that would make even a 9-star knight, Grand Duke Baella, fall ill?

Slurp… !

-Huh?

“haha… … .”

Harang eventually collapsed.

-Hey, black and white kid. Wake! Hey, it’s going to spin, really. What should I do in the middle of the sea?

The Avalanche were extremely embarrassed.

-I understand that you were born with the destiny to become a hero, but why are you so incompetent?

Every time I saw him, all I saw was him lying down sick and dying, so from the Avalanche perspective, Harang was a weakling.

-What’s the problem… … Huh?

Avalanche, who was examining Harang’s condition with his eyes turning bright blue, stopped in mid-air without realizing it.

-This kid… … How on earth are you alive? … ?

Avalanche’s complexion turned pale.

Harang’s current state was filled with a coldness so cold that it was hard to believe he was alive. This was even more problematic because the energy was not even contaminated with demonic energy, but was so pure coldness itself.

If I were a demon, I would have gone to a temple and purified myself, but there was no way to use such pure cold!

-Crazy, living corpse… … No, it’s safe to think of it as a living block of ice. It’s going to spin, really! Where on earth do you go around, do you have this kind of energy in your body?

Until now, I hadn’t noticed because Harang was holding the cold inside his body and struggling, but now that he had passed out, the cold was slowly leaking out.

If that were to happen, there would be a problem: Harang’s vitality would also be drained, and there was a possibility that he would lose his life!

-It’s dangerous, very dangerous! Damn it, this is not the time. I have to hurry. I might get scolded by Yeongtaeng a little, but I have to use the ‘Cloud Road’.

Avalanche jumped high and flew up to the clouds. The huge cloud floating at the end of the sky was particularly noticeable. In the middle of the cloud, a large eye was rolling around, and Avalanche sprinted through space, avoiding its gaze.

‘This level of pure energy is like nature, and it can never be handled with an ordinary diet of energy. This… … I would have to learn how to control the forces of nature from the Taoists at Sinseonggol or Heavenly Palace.’

However, Sinseonggol was located on the other side of the continent, and Cheonsang Palace was too far to go right away.

We would arrive in northern Astera in a few days, but there was no place for Taoists and immortals to stay.

At that time, a place came to mind in Avalanche.

‘It’s similar, but there is one. But the elves there must absolutely hate humans… … .’

But there is no way. If I don’t go there right away and lend a hand, I won’t be able to cool down the terrible cold overflowing from Harang’s body.

‘Spiritual magic may only be a temporary measure, but at least it can save your life as a temporary measure until you reach the Heavenly Palace!’

Boom! Avalanche stepped on the air with force until his leg muscles became tense.

Please, I hope that we can save that weak and delicate boy in time.

* * *

Northern part of the Astera continent.

When you head to Dume Mountain Valley, a long way away from the city built by humans, a mysterious forest created by fairies appears.

23 huge old trees, the ends of which cannot be seen even when you look up, were gathered together to form a natural fortress, and a structure made of wood was built inside it, which was the resting place and nest of the elves.

Most human structures were built on the surface of the earth, but elves’ nests were built freely regardless of whether it was in the sky or on the ground.

Elf children running and coming and going on trees connected by thousands of trunks, and elf youth floating in the air on birds inflated like balloons. There was a huge river crossing the ground, and the elf women did all their laundry and cooking there.

I thought today would continue to be a peaceful day in the fairy’s nest, which never allows outsiders to invade.

Sting!! The spirits suddenly started making noise and wandering around in the sky.

“Are you an intruder?”

“No, a visitor.”

“But no one was scheduled to come… … .”

While the elf women were startled, the warriors quickly leapt toward the forest barrier.

As dozens of warriors headed toward the barrier, there was a white-haired young man standing at the entrance holding someone of small stature.

Humans would not have been able to tell unless they were experts, but elf warriors who were sensitive to the spirit’s energy were able to immediately recognize the young man’s identity.

“… … “Are you a spirit creature?”

Avalanche smiled awkwardly and nodded in response to a question from an elf female warrior with beautifully braided brown hair.

“Whaha, you were surprised that you suddenly came, right? That’s right. I am a spirit creature. “This kid is human.”

“!”

“human!”

At those words, the elves’ expressions turned grim. But at the same time, a question arises.

‘He was human? I thought they were both spirit creatures… … .’

Humans tend to have their own unique turbid energy leaking out. On the contrary, the spirit creature exuded an energy that was very similar to nature and contained a scent that the elves liked.

No matter how you look at it, the boy had the aura of a spirit creature rather than a human being, but upon closer inspection, he was clearly a human being.

The condition of the boy, who was breathing heavily while being held in the young man’s arms, seemed to be serious. Red cheeks and burning heat. Even the cold chill that leaks out every time you exhale… … .

“As you can see, I came here because I wanted to treat this child. However, I don’t think there will be any way to do so unless I can soothe her with her natural energy.”

“… … “Humans are not allowed in the village.”

“How could it not work? Even if you look at my face. This kid is human, but he’s a hero. “I promise on my name that you are completely different from the humans you have known.”

“Are you saying that little boy is a hero? Humans have a short lifespan, so no matter how much he was beaten, he wouldn’t have lived even 20 years… … .”

“If you really want to know, take it to the ‘stargazer’ you trust and check it out. “I’m sure it is.”

“… … .”

The elf warriors exchanged glances with each other. There was a strict rule that humans could never be allowed into the village, but when a spirit spirit came and asked for a favor rather than anyone else, opinions were bound to be divided.

“Absolutely not.”

An elf boy stepped forward with a frown on his face.

Her name is Adeline. He looked like he was the same age as Harang, but in reality, he was a proud warrior who had lived twice as long as him.

“It is not the place for a child to step forward.”

“No matter how excellent your talent for communicating with spirits is, you do not have the authority to judge the serious matters of the village. Adeline, step back.”

“… … .”

Adeline pursed her lips and stepped back. He was so excellent at communicating with spirits that he was called the next elf chieftain, and he had such great talent that it was even said that if he did well, he might be able to summon the ‘Spirit King’ for the first time in several generations.

Therefore, even though he was young, less than 30 years old, his speaking power was considerable even here.

“… … Then, how about this?”

Adeline smiled and pointed at the boy with her index finger.

“If you take one step further from there, the ‘Spirit’s Curtain’ will unfold. If you pass through that place without using any aura or mana, it is proof that you have received permission from the spirits. How is it? “If you can walk and pass the veil on your own, then you will be accepted into the village.”

“hmm.”

It certainly made sense.

It may be okay for an ordinary human, but if a human with the spirit’s permission passes through, there will be no problem.

but… … .

“That doesn’t make sense! That human being, he’s dying right now, and he’s telling me to pass through the spirit veil without even wearing an auror? “Are you crazy?!”

The elf female warrior, Sandella, screamed.

That’s why Adeline’s proposal made no sense.

“We elves, who wake up in the arms of fairies from birth, must also train for at least several decades to be able to pass through the veil of spirits with their bare bodies. Adeline, you were called the greatest genius in history, but it took you over 10 years, right?”

Despite Sandela’s criticism, Adeline shrugged her shoulders.

The attitude that it doesn’t really matter.

Sandella was shocked to see him, but so were the other elves.

I understand that it is difficult to pass through the spirit’s veil. But what does it matter? In order to enter and leave the village as an elf, you must learn this law, so even if you are an outsider, the rules must be applied equally.

“Whether it’s difficult or not, if you don’t pass the veil, you can just assume that means you’re not qualified. We elves gave him a chance, and if he doesn’t pass, it will be his own fault.”

“You, no way!”

Sandela gritted her teeth. Looking at Adeline’s expression, I could tell.

“You didn’t intend to let that person into the village from the beginning… … .”

Since he was a human being brought directly by a spirit being, he couldn’t just kick him out, so he pretended to give him a chance and pretended to be courteous to kick him out.

“… … I’ll do it.”

At that time, the boy, who was sweating and groaning in pain, came down from the spirit’s arms and landed on the floor. His staggering torso looked quite dangerous, but when he lifted his head with his hair flowing, several elves let out small exclamations of exclamation.

Even in an elf village where there were only handsome men and beautiful women, the boy’s appearance was very special, and even the sight of him turning red due to illness confused the hearts of the elves.

However, looks are just looks.

You must never be deceived.

If the boy is blocked by the curtain, he will be kicked out without hesitation… … .

“… … huh?”

Jerk, jerk.

But something is strange.

One step, two steps. The boy was slowly walking towards this place, staggering without even wearing an aura.

He walked in about ten steps on trembling legs, placing his hand on a wooden beam, then raised his head and asked.

“Where is that tent…? … ?”

At his question, the elf warriors simultaneously fell silent.

Sandela looked at the boy blankly for a moment, then raised her finger and pointed behind the boy with a puzzled expression.

“Just now, the place where you were standing was a tent.”

“… … ?”

Harang looked back. At the foot of where Avalanche was standing with a dumb expression, there was something like a strange blue band surrounding it.

“Even a skilled elf warrior would have to go through all sorts of hardships to pass without an auror, but it’s so simple…” … ?”

Hearing someone’s muttering, only then did Harang realize that he had passed through the curtain very easily.

I just didn’t notice it myself because I was out of my mind.

‘Ah, is it okay…? … .’

Feeling reassured by that, Harang closed his eyes again, and Avalanche flew in almost as if teleporting, grabbed his body and hugged him.

At the same time, he smiled with a spirited expression at the elf warriors who had been opposing him until now.

“Hehehe, you passed anyway, right? “Are you taking it as promised?”

Adeline looked at the warriors with a dissatisfied expression, but they closed their eyes and nodded in silence.

“You suggested it, Adeline. Don’t overturn. Because I doubt his qualifications as a chief… … .”

“Ugh.”

Just like that, a strange combination of spirits and humans suddenly entered the fairy’s nest.
