The sudden appearance of the Everlasting Ice Crystal greatly surprised the Ice Palace Lord, but fortunately, there was no time wasted in asking about its source.
That was also the reason why Cheonhwa had mentioned that Mannyeon Geumgu had given it to her before she could ask anything else, but it was also because time was of the essence at the moment.
If you delay even a little, Bukgungyeon’s mother will die.
If he had been a sinner, I might have let him die even if I had given him the Eternal Ice Crystal.
In order to cure her, he would have to use the power accumulated in the Eternal Ice Crystal in some way or another, and it was against the law to give such luxury to a sinner.
That is why Cheonhwa also requested her pardon in advance.
Because they had seen how the North Sea people treated sinners, if she were a sinner, there was a high possibility that they would insist that she could not be cured even if they fought with Cheonhwa over the Mannyeon Bingjeong.
Of course, I thought that even if I was pardoned, I might hesitate to use it since I hadn’t regained my status as a princess, but in that case, I really had to throw it away.
I thought so, but fortunately, no such unfortunate incident occurred.
The Ice Palace Master carefully accepted the Eternal Ice Crystal from Cheonhwa and began to treat it by injecting his own power, the energy of the Ice White God Art, into it.
“Haaaaa… … .”
The treatment was simple.
It was a process of purifying and diluting evil powers by infusing them with the thick energy of the ice spirit contained in the eternal ice crystal.
It was inevitable that the patient’s body would be put under a lot of stress during the process, but since he was the Ice Palace Master who had practiced the same martial arts, he was able to induce less pain.
Also, although not as good as Bukgungyeon’s Bingryeongjiche, her mother also had excellent constitution and qualities.
That’s why I was able to ascend to the position of the Princess, so I could easily accept the spirit energy of the Ice Spirit, protect my body, and drive out the corrupt spirit energy and the magic mixed within it.
The patient’s complexion was returning, albeit slightly, and the pain seemed to be gradually diminishing.
“Ugh… … !”
But that only lasted for a moment.
The corrupted ice spirits and magic, cornered by the purifying power emitted by the pure ice spirits, begin to resist.
In terms of total power, the pure ice spirits naturally had the upper hand, but it was a completely different story to forcefully release and drive out the tightly-concentrated power that had been cornered.
It’s not that I lack strength, but at the same time I do.
The power of the ice spirit condensed in the Eternal Ice Crystal was truly incredible, but the reason was that the person using it could not fully utilize its power.
Because of that, a look of bewilderment appeared on the face of the Ice Palace Master.
If you guarantee that all you need is the Eternal Ice Crystal, but then you send your mother away because you can’t use it properly, then of course I won’t be able to accept it.
So I concentrated my mind once again and accepted the power of the ice spirits.
He began to use all his might to drive out the corrupted spirits and dilute their magic.
“Ugh!”
But the pain only grows.
Up to a certain point, I was able to purify and drive out the two energies, but beyond that it was difficult.
And of all places, the location where the fallen ice spirits and magic escaped was the heart.
If it were any other body part, the solution would be simple.
I’m satisfied with having pushed it this far, and I’m grateful that my life was saved, so I can just cut that part off.
Afterwards, by pouring out the remaining small energies through the cut surface, it was possible to completely drive out the evil energies that had dug into the body.
“this…….”
But why the heart?
Even the slightest touch would lead to death, let alone removal.
It was very difficult, as I could not drive away the fleeing spirits as I wanted.
From the perspective of someone who wanted to treat someone, I felt ashamed as the owner of the Ice Palace.
Because now that it’s like this, I can’t touch it anymore.
Since it was so obvious that even a slight shock to his weakened state would cause his heart to burst and he would die, there was only one way.
To prolong life. Or to live a life with a limited time limit.
Although they saved my life for the time being, I had to live with the anxiety that it could explode at any moment.
Even because of the poor location, there was a high chance that the heart would not function properly.
It seemed clear that he would live a life worse than that of an ordinary person, where it would be difficult to even walk, let alone demonstrate martial arts skills.
“I, I’ll try.”
The moment Binggungju stepped back from her with a troubled expression, Bukgungyeon stepped forward.
Unlike a little while ago when he had just been crying, he had a determined expression on his face as if he had decided on something.
“I’m sorry to say this, but even if you give it the wrong shock, your life will be in danger. It would be better to just let him live for a little longer… … .”
“No. I can fix it. I will fix it.”
It was not something he should have said since he had failed the treatment, but Binggungju gave him serious advice, but Bukgungyeon’s will was already firm.
It wasn’t just a thought of wanting to save her mother, but she also had her own confidence.
– It’s definitely possible. It depends on what you want to do.
It was because the eunuch’s spirit possessing her whispered, but she also felt it herself.
He said that he couldn’t do the Ice Palace, but he thought he could do it.
It was extremely arrogant to think that he was better than the Ice Palace Master who had reached the realm of Hwagyeong, but he was confident of it.
At least in this case, I am better. I am excellent.
That it’s something only he can do.
“Help me.”
Hamurin was pardoned and became a resident of the North Sea again, but before that, she was the mother of Bukgungyeon, so even the Ice Palace Lord could not stop her.
How can you stop a child who wants to save his mother?
Moreover, since the treatment has failed, there is nothing that can be done.
That’s why I thought I should forcefully stop her before the deeper wound of killing her mother with my own hands was engraved, but I couldn’t do that.
That was the nature of things, and that was why Cheonhwa came forward to help her.
A master who can’t even measure himself properly.
Now that she had realized that Cheonhwa’s power was superior to her own, there was no room for her to interfere.
He left the treatment to me because he thought that I, who had the same level of internal energy as the Mannyeon Bingjeong, would be better off, and so he quietly stepped back, knowing that it wasn’t because he lacked strength.
I cheered them on, even if only in my heart.
Because Hamurin was once like his own sister.
The Ice Palace Lord also sincerely prayed for her recovery.
“Thank you.”
Bukgungyeon received the Mannyeon Bingjeong while holding back tears.
Feeling the tremendous power contained within it, I began to identify it with myself and accurately understand the state of my mother’s body.
“There, you. What was your name? Eunuch, anyway.”
– You, you idiot. You still don’t even know my name!
“You don’t really need to know, right? Or can you make it so I don’t need to know? Okay, and you help me too.”
– Huh, huh! Of course I planned to do that! Even if it wasn’t your request!
“Who are you talking to now… …?”
Meanwhile, Cheonhwa ordered the eunuch to provide support.
Although the Ice Palace Lord found the sight a little strange, it wasn’t a big problem.
It is unclear whether it was because of threats or whether it was really his original intention, but what is important is that the eunuch also decided to actively help Bukgungyeon.
In the process, it was revealed that Cheonhwa didn’t even know the guy’s name until now, but that was also just a minor thing.
“Let’s get started.”
Bukgungyeon, who had finished assessing his mother’s condition, held the Everlasting Ice Crystal tightly.
He generated power and resonated with the spirits.
This could also be considered one of the powers of the Ice Spirit.
It was something I did instinctively, but it was something that could only be done when I reached the peak.
– As expected, you did it. What it took me so many years to achieve… … .
Bukgungyeon glimpsed the realm of Hwagyeong, albeit fragmentarily.
The eunuch grumbled at the sight, but one of the reasons it was possible was the previous possession.
The wall collapsed as I used the enlightenment of Hwagyeong, even if only momentarily.
It wasn’t a complete collapse because it wasn’t the power and realm that Bukgungyeon had achieved on his own, but rather a small hole had opened up. However, it was bound to be much easier to climb back up to a realm that he had once stepped on than to break down a wall.
It shouldn’t have been easy either, but the abundant ice spirits of the Everlasting Ice Age made it as natural as breathing.
The immense power began to pour out, as if it were breaking apart a small hole.
“Be quiet. Concentrate.”
Cheonhwa played the Bingryeongokyak to assist Bukgungyeon.
It was a tone that attracted and attracted the North Sea icebergs, and tuned them to achieve stability.
The exhausted energy of the Eternal Ice Crystal was refilled, and the energy flowing into Bukgungyeon’s body was naturally coordinated as if they had been one from the beginning.
We melted into one without any sense of rejection or alienation.
“Huh.”
Then Bukgungyeon took control of the power.
He began to purify the corrupted spirits and demons that were entrenched, increasing their purity by surrounding them like a mother’s heart.
Pushshshshsh-
Accordingly, dark blue smoke began to rise from the heart of Mother Hamurin.
These were typified energies that suggested that proper purification was taking place.
‘Okay. Just like this… … ?’
However, it doesn’t always work out as easily as you’d like.
The two forces that were gradually decreasing and seemed like they would disappear at any moment began to pour out their strength as if making a last-ditch effort.
It would have been possible to suppress it with force, but it was not possible now.
If I had used too much force, it could have put a strain on my heart and caused my mother to have a heart attack.
No, that’s good enough.
The energy gathered in his heart was so enormous that his heart could have burst and he would have died.
That’s why I have no choice but to be pushed back helplessly.
Not only was the territory pushed out, but the purest ice spirits were eaten by them.
The power of the fallen ice spirits, which had weakened to the point of disappearing, began to run wild again as magic gained strength.
“Coolook!”
Hamurin’s body shook along with him.
Even that seemed difficult to endure, as it swayed violently once and began to tremble as if in a fit.
This can’t go on.
Had to come up with a different number.
At the moment when Bukgungyeon was flustered and embarrassed, the eunuch’s spirit shouted.
– Keep going! Throw the ice spirits food and lure them out of the heart!
‘but……!’
Although it was the only way to save his mother at the moment, Bukgungyeon hesitated for a moment.
She was able to feel it because she had temporarily reached the realm of Hwagyeong.
That the Ice Spirit is not just an inanimate tool.
That too was a life form with a will and self, and that in order to bring it out, a huge amount of ice spirits would be consumed.
– are you okay!
– I’ll help you!
– So save our friends!
At that moment, the ice spirits moved on their own.
Before Bukgungyeon could move his power, he did not hesitate to throw himself into the demonic realm and be consumed by it.
Tsk tsk tsk!
From their perspective, pure ice spirits could not have been better prey than Hamurin’s body.
The strength that had been busy eating the ice spirits that had been passively attacking him for a while soon left his heart and grew in size.
Now, he opened his mouth towards the pouring ice spirits, swinging his suddenly increased strength as if he could eat them all up with his own strength.
“Come to me!”
At that moment, Bukgungyeon made a decision.
At this rate, it would certainly be possible to drop the guy and then crush him with force.
I instinctively knew that it was possible to force it in a way that would not be a burden to my mother’s body, and to eliminate it by sending in more ice spirits or cutting up the body.
Since the body is swollen, it would be difficult to do it with just the tip of your finger or one or two joints, but it would be possible if you sacrifice one arm or so.
But that couldn’t be done.
Because it would have cost me one of my mother’s arms, and it would have cost me a huge number of spirits.
That’s why I came up with another way.
It’s about transferring the greedy guy to yourself.
It’s not difficult. You just have to strengthen the power in other places and make the path to yourself a little looser.
No, I just bit most of the ice spirits.
So that it can dig into your body in one breath.
– Stop! You might get hurt!
‘sorry.’
The eunuch’s spirit tried to stop him, but the incident had already happened.
The energy that had noticed the gap rushed in to take over Bukgungyeon’s body.
Thanks to this, Hamurin’s body regained peace, but Bukgungyeon’s insides were shaken.
The guys who gained strength by eating countless ice spirits are now starting to run wild in order to eat Bukgungyeon.
‘Please help me just this once. I don’t intend to be eaten either.’
– Oh my god!
A fight broke out.
The difference in power is stark.
Because all the ice spirits of the North Sea are helping Bukgungyeon.
But the bastard had learned how to catch and eat ice spirits.
It’s a kind of battle of wits where you have an overwhelming advantage.
Previously, it was possible to simply suppress it with force, but it was gradually evolving.
I was getting used to resisting the power of the ice spirits and, in turn, corrupting them.
The power of Bukgungyeon, who even held the Eternal Ice Crystal, was enormous, and the surrounding ice spirits were helping him, so he was able to suppress it, but it was difficult to be confident of its annihilation.
As the strength diminished again, the speed gradually slowed down.
– Wake up! If you don’t subdue him in one breath, it’s over!
Even though the eunuch’s spirit was constantly guiding Bukgungyeon and strangling him, it was still like that.
“I will help you. Don’t reject it, accept it.”
At that moment, the Ice Palace Princess placed her hand on Bukgung Yeon’s back.
Although their internal energy methods are not the same, they have mastered the same ice technique, and since they use the power of the ice spirit, I believe she will be able to utilize his power sufficiently.
Even though if there was a problem, the Ice Palace Princess could have suffered considerable damage, he did not hesitate.
“Thank you.”
Guided by that power, Bukgungyeon pushed forward even more strongly.
However, Magi persisted and persevered by corrupting the ice spirits, but when she finished playing, Cheonhwa, who was watching her, suddenly said something strange.
“Don’t try to suppress it. Don’t try to separate it. Just accept it.”
– What nonsense! Are you planning to kill this child?
“That’s why it won’t work if you do that. Just think of it as a dirty spirit and accept it. I’ll take care of the rest.”
It sounds crazy, but it was the beginning of a huge realization.
It was a single word from someone who had reached a higher level than the eunuch’s spirit, who had reached the realm of a mature flower-lover, and who would dismiss it as nothing more than nonsense.
“A spirit with a different personality… …?”
But the situation is not easy.
The moment he heard Cheonhwa’s words, he could have lost himself because the magic had reached his bones and marrow.
“I’ll try.”
But Bukgungyeon did not hesitate.
Although he was receiving help from everyone, he trusted Cheonhwa’s words more and did that crazy thing without hesitation.
As soon as I give up the fight, magic energy surges up as if it had been waiting for me.
It grew in size again, greedily devouring other ice spirits.
However, what happened a little later was different from what they expected.
It wasn’t a eat-and-be-eaten relationship.
I just embraced it.
I just understood and acknowledged that the ice spirits are not one, but are beings with different personalities.
“?!”
– What the heck is this… …!
At that moment, Bukgungyeon’s body floated up.
A huge iceberg rose above our heads.
It was similar to, but different from, the Samhwachwijeong, where the regular spirits become one and the upper, middle, and lower danjeons bloom individually.
It was a state where the whole body was connected and connected with one energy, becoming one with the spirit.
Beyond communing with and communicating with the spirits, she seemed to be becoming one herself.
‘That’s a story from when I was a child. It’s still not enough.’
The evil aura she felt, the aura of a corrupted spirit soaked in magic and magic, was distinct yet faint.
That’s because even that has become a part of her.
Bukgungyeon has reached the stage of a fully mature flower or even higher.
