Winter Castle (12)

There was blood on the battlefield. It was unknown whether it was the blood of orcs or the blood of knights.

However, the count knew that there were so many dead that it was impossible to tell them apart.

Creepy… .

The orc road wailed low. The Count, Dietrich Cardia, smirked.

His blow took his right eye. I wondered where the ego that continued to attack even after his right arm was cut off was coming from.

However, there was not much time. A giant spear-shaped Auror, who had reached the highest level, was nestled in the Count’s sword.

It was difficult to keep for a long time. The Orc Lord picked up Battle X with his only one remaining arm.

“It’s boring.”

Spitting out the saliva in his mouth, the Earl murmured. Orcroad’s lively gaze turned to him.

woo much!

Even though he was about to die, he swung his axe. Rather than fear of death, the desire to kill the opponent dominated the Orc Lord’s body.

But.

quagga.

Push.

Orc Lord’s unbalanced strike was not enough to stop the Auror who had reached the highest level.

After piercing the ax with the sword, the Count punched a hole in the chest of the Orc Lord.

He looked down at his pierced chest and laid himself down on the snowy field. dead. will be dead

The Count raised his trembling body. Although he lost one eye, he killed Rod. Now, it was a victory just to go back to the castle by pushing the rest of the knights.

The question was how many articles were left. If annihilated, he too had to be prepared for death.

“The Count!”

However, the count’s resolve was disrespectful, and the knights approached him. Their armor was stained with blood, but it didn’t seem like the wounds of the knights.

“I was alive.”

“It’s all thanks to Confucius Deron.”

“What?”

Deron Phylasia. The eldest son of a peasant family who is freezing because he is cold.

There were rumors that he was ill, and although it was confirmed that it was true, the Count did not stop him.

It was because he confirmed that his frozen heart was forcibly burning.

His heart responded to the war. For some reason, the intense flame was burning the ice somehow.

The problem was that his body was burned as well.

However, the Count could not stop Deron. It must have been frozen with such a flame until now, how cramped it must have been.

‘By the way, I lived because of that Deron.’

Aside from the blazing flames, Deron’s power wasn’t that great.

Among the children of his age, he had a natural talent.

Even the count of the same age did not reach the end of the intermediate level.

However, that did not mean that Deron’s natural force was strong.

Even considering the young age, in the end, intermediate is intermediate.

It was a force similar to that of the general Cardia knights. In addition, in the case of Deron, he was burning at the cost of his life, so he did not know when it would go out.

The count moved forward, supported by the knights.

The more I moved forward, the more I saw the corpses of orcs that had been brutally shredded.

It looks as if someone chewed it and spit it out. It was brutal. It’s hard to believe that a single person was cut.

The Count swallowed his saliva. An astonishing sight unfolded before his eyes.

Deron Phylasia. He swung his dark sword and split the dark green waves.

Whenever the auror touched the orc, the flesh disappeared.

It caught my eye as the dark sword devoured the flesh and blood of the orc.

It was a crazy move. Deron wasn’t hit by a single hit, and he was dealing with an army of orcs.

It really raises the question of whether Confucius, who was on the verge of collapse from exhaustion, was right.

The knights were also assisting Deron, but the protagonist of the battlefield was Deron.

He had reached the advanced level in no time. The rising aura and the concentration of mana proved this.

His auras eat away the energy of the opponent.

It was indeed a cruel trait.

Finally, around the time the surviving orcs ran away in fear.

Deron looked up at the sky with blood all over his body.

The black blade is all over the place, only the handle remains. Deron flashed the handle.

Winter was coming to an end.

Stepping on the corpses of the orcs, I stood tall.

The whole body screamed. Now it was difficult to walk. I wanted to lie down right away.

[Crazy. I’m going to make it a success.]

‘Didn’t I say I was successful?’

Even at Acius’ sarcastic sarcasm, I just laughed.

It was temporary, but he controlled the magic. Although the Magi returned to my heart, the sensation was clearly etched into my body.

I felt the powerful energy that had captured my attention disappear.

The Count eventually captured the Orc Lord.

Now I feel a little reassured. The orcs were nothing more than a remnant who lost their king.

Orcs, who have fallen to the point where their morale has fallen, will flee over the mountain range and will not be able to come back.

There will come a time when they will return again, but at that time, Cardia’s wall must have grown stronger.

Supported by the knights, I headed towards the gate.

The winter castle was full of ice and blood. It was a sign that Agnes fought while we were away.

Agnes ran over, covered in blood. Her face was full of concern.

“Deron, are you okay!?”

laughter came out. I poked her in the back. There was blood on his fingers. Agnes frowned.

“Ugh.”

“That’s what I want to ask.”

“I am okay. It’s just that the orc’s ax passed… .”

my head hurts. was the limit. My body screamed that it wanted to rest. I stopped her and muttered.

“I’m glad I survived… .”

so fell down Then there are no memories. Agnes murmured, but couldn’t hear it.

**

He stayed in the winter castle and healed the wounds. It was because of the Count’s cry that he could not expose the wounded patient to the blizzard.

He held a banquet saying that he could not send the benefactor of the winter castle like this.

In fact, there was no such thing as a banquet. Only the survivors drank alcohol and meat to commemorate the dead.

Yes, speaking of it, it was close to the death system.

They simply bowed their heads for the dead, and the survivors drank alcohol and meat.

The Count informed the Count that it was Cardia’s way to quickly forget and enjoy surviving.

“Take this.”

Before drinking, the Count handed me a sword. It was a sword with a magical energy.

If the fangs of the old man’s blood network were just hard, this sword was even sharp.

The count said that this sword was made of cold iron (寒鐵) and was a famous sword from the north.

I widened my eyes as I received it.

It’s Hancheol. I drew my sword from its sheath. It was indeed a sword. A chill was felt in the sword.

I couldn’t even imagine how many decades it had been.

“Can I have this?”

“Of course. The people of the north make sure of silver won. Since you saved the people of the Winter Castle, you are only paying back what you deserve as the Lord of the Winter Castle.”

winter lord The Count emphasized that it was a winter castle lord. I glanced up at him.

he was grinning

“I’m quick-witted.”

“If this is the reward as a winter castle lord, there must also be a reward as a martyr.”

The Count smiled wildly and tapped my shoulder. It really hurt. He pointed to Bell, who was drinking from afar.

“My daughter. How is it?”

ah… this is a bit I shyly refused to answer and left the room. There was a drinking party going on.

All of them had faces suitable for the title of victor.

There seemed to be no worries. Agnes was also quietly sipping alcohol. It doesn’t taste like alcohol, but I was also present.

“Five! Confucius is also participating!”

Enraged soldiers rushed at me. Naturally, I accepted the fight.

“Slurp.”

all annihilated The soldiers rolled on the ground with their eyes wide open or babbled into the air.

I drank some leftovers and left.

**

About two weeks after leaving the academy, my body was fully recovered.

“I must go quickly.”

Bell checked the schedule and told me. There isn’t much left until the vacation is over.

I also had to clear the dungeon assigned to the club. Bell complained to me that it was taking too much time than I thought.

I laughed inwardly. It was because I knew that Bell-senpai was grateful to me even though I said that.

Drunk, she bowed her head, thanking me over and over again. No one has seen it except me.

In the future, I plan to keep my mouth shut and keep it a secret.

Agnes grimaced and came out. After all the luggage was already packed. Her cheeks were full of scars.

“Is your side okay now?”

“Yeah, he said it left a little scar, but it wouldn’t be a problem.”

Agnes’ wounds were more serious than expected. The doctor was horrified that it would have been dangerous had it not been for blocking the bleeding with ice.

When I went outside wearing the sword that the Earl had given me, the members of the Winter Castle were looking down at me.

Not the hostile gaze I had seen at first, but a gaze full of favor. They were all paying tribute to each other.

“A salute to those who endured the harsh winter!”

“Respect!!”

The voice tickled my ears. There was an unknown echo in the shouts that filled the entire winter castle.

Even the moment they left the winter castle, their salute did not stop.

I looked up at the sky. The blizzard that greeted us when we first came was nowhere and the warm sunlight greeted me.

Is it spring only when flowers bloom? Is spring only when the ice breaks and the green meadows unfold?

I looked at the winter castle again. Even in winter, flowers were blooming. Stories that bloom sweetly in the snow.

Snow Flower or Snow Flower.

On the way I was leaving, in the winter castle, spring was in full swing.
