chapter 5
5 – Snow Woman Reincarnation (5)
The Silver Dragon King Pankaji Mishra.
Actually, I didn’t know much about her. At the time of this work, she is already a character from the past, and she does not appear directly. Since she was just me reading the developer’s settings, she only knew basic information such as living in a snowy field and having a good character.
In short, I don’t even know the details of her abilities. Because of this, I am very nervous right now.
‘Go, why are you doing that…’
The Dragon King, who had been trying to subdue me with his temper just a moment ago, suddenly stopped and just stared at me. At first glance, the stiff expression on his face seemed to be wary, but that was not the case.
Because the opponent was a dragon king in the realm of transcendence. Can you be wary of me, who is not even a fistful away?
‘Then you gave up suppression!’
Maybe my rage intensified because I seemed to be rebelling on my own. Hopefully not, but sadly that was the most likely hypothesis. So why are you still standing still…
…Are you planning to use a special move?
I didn’t want to believe it, but I was more afraid because there was a possibility. The fact that I didn’t know the details of Mishra’s abilities also played a role. It is impossible to predict which magic or skill to use.
My body has become transparent, so it won’t show, but I’m tired of being completely white. What do we do? Even if it was Quilière, who had a glass body, it was clear that no matter what skill he used, he wouldn’t even be able to salvage a corpse.
I was standing there, devastated. A loud noise was heard from somewhere. I reflexively looked back and saw familiar guys huddled together.
– The hot guy is here! Bully Quilly!
-Wow, that’s tingling! There must be a sense of “Never looking for or wondering”!
– What’s hot?
“No…”
I told you not to come out. Well, it was foolish to believe that these guys with a low mental age would listen to a short request like stone. A huge dragon appeared out of nowhere and ravaged the entire area, but how could it not come out?
As soon as my eyes met, the frikes who were sneaking up on me turned into wolves and surrounded me. It looked like it was trying to protect me.
-Don’t bully Quilly!
Even the words overflowing with aspirations right afterward… It was an encouragement that warmed my heart, and I was quite moved. My face turned pale again.
‘No, what are you doing!’
Why are you so eager to fight? The Silver Wolf is the appearance of a Fricke when it is threatened or ready for battle. Just looking at their roaring cries and the towering silver hair, you could see that they had a lot of fighting spirit.
Aren’t these without the concept of a physical difference? As you can see, the level of combat power is different. How can you see that and think of fighting!
‘Thank you for helping me…’
That’s it, and this is this. In the first place, the scarcity of spirits did not lead to strength. Besides, Freike is only a low-level spirit. The lower spirits were just puppies in front of the Silver Dragon King, which even the high-ranking spirits could not do anything about.
Elephants and tigers… No, mice are added to the fight between dogs. I looked at Mishra, worried that I might have inflamed my anger for no reason, and her eyes were wide open. She was staring at the prequels with a look of astonishment.
‘Why does he look like that?’
After thinking about it for a while, I soon guessed that it must be because of the attitude of the freekes. Most of the spirits were self-centered and selfish, and rarely followed anyone. You can make friends with spirits who have a talent for communicating with spirits or only a small number of spirits, and even those who don’t continue to supply mana will quickly become sulky.
In short, they are a very demanding tribe. If that were the case, it was only natural that a considerable number of spirits would come out to protect me, so anyone familiar with spirits would be surprised.
‘Well, in my case, there’s a reason for that.’
The friques’ attitude toward me was not like that of a self-centered spirit, but it was natural since I created them. These children were born only with my magical power, and the spirits were spirits made of pure mana. So naturally, I was thinking about myself.
Did Misura, who did not know that, be shocked by that? For me to surprise the Dragon King of the world, this is a great achievement…
‘Wait, is this an opportunity?’
The thought flashed through my mind. If it wasn’t for this moment, there might never be anything else that would embarrass Mishra. This fleeting moment, when the dragon king’s judgment was clouded, was the only way out.
My brain started spinning at an unprecedented speed. It was a speed almost reminiscent of the cramming of the student days. Having survived the tutoring frenzy, my brain soon came to a quick conclusion.
‘Hurry up and make an end before you wake up!’
It is physically impossible to escape from the Dragon King’s pursuit. No matter how well I handled this situation, as long as I was in the snowy field, Misura could always come back. So I had to be allowed to live here.
However, since it unintentionally scratched my nerves, there was no way I would have accepted it. It was extremely difficult to convince someone who had already closed their hearts. Then, boldly give up persuasion. Instead, let the story unfold on its own!
‘It’s about creating the so-called ‘situation where things are over before anyone can say anything’.’
First of all, if I finish my work on my own before taking damage, Mishu will be able to become more calm. And the Dragon King has the face, and his pride would get in the way of provoking him over something that has already been done.
Okay, this is it. No matter how you think about it, it was a strategy full of loopholes, but it was the best choice for now. I looked straight at Mishra, still bewildered, and pointed at her last name.
“I will live here from now on.”
Then I turned around and went straight into the castle. As expected, the tone came out cold, and I didn’t want to imagine what the expression would be like.
Oh, of course I didn’t forget to take the freekes.
A field of snow where snowflakes like the feathers of a heavenly horse have landed. Above it, Mishra stood alone.
The rage that had paralyzed reason had long since been lifted, but the thoughts still didn’t work as if they were paralyzed. She tried to make the most of the frozen dragon’s wisdom. She reflected on the scene she had just seen, lost in thought.
Snow Spirit, Freike.
Old Ones.
Looking back, I couldn’t believe it easily. Originally, the spirit was the remnant of the main god, and the monster was the remnant of the evil god. In the case of the latter, the grudges of so many evil gods spread throughout the continent and the majority of them are still active as the existence of absolute evil, but the situation of the former was different.
Other creatures don’t know much about it, but Mishu, the dragon king, knew that all the gods had long ago disappeared. Many gods have gone to rest or left this world. There could be many reasons for this, but the biggest triggers were two incidents.
The first is the Great War of the Heavenly Demons, which broke out in the age of mythology, when the works of gods were most prosperous. After this unprecedented battle of the gods, it is said that many gods disappeared. It was only conveyed, but even Mishu did not know the details. Because in her distant antiquity, she also did not exist.
The second is what humans often say is the worst event on earth. It was the moment when the disappointment of human beings who had been cut down by greed and envy that could not be seen with open eyes reached its peak. There were very few gods left at this time, but even they completely changed their minds after this incident.
The Goddess of Winter also disappeared around that time.
It was only after her departure, which was virtually the last hope on earth, that humans tried to change the mind of God. It is because of the fear of not being able to receive help from the Absolute. Tired of that selfishness, Mishra understood her master’s choice by vomiting blood.
At least that must have been thousands of years ago. For a long time after that, the number of spirits decreased steeply. It was because the beings who created them and would maintain their ego disappeared. If at least one of the Four Gods had remained, the extinction would have been minimized, but those supreme gods were at the forefront of the departure.
God of the four seasons who governs spring, summer, autumn and winter. As long as the three main gods left and even the last one disappeared, it was inevitable that the balance of the world would collapse. As a result, the snowfield had been empty for a long time. Obviously it was
‘What the hell happened while you were asleep?’
The freaks that suddenly appeared looked like dozens of water mirrors. They all moved to protect a woman. It was an act unbecoming an individualistic spirit.
Mishura suspected that she was a temporary elemental magician, but the reasoning was soon erased. Even the great spirits who will dominate a century cannot contract with that many people at once. No matter how exceptionally gifted he was, there was a limit as a natural creature.
Before that, there was no way to solve the question of where the freques, which had long since disappeared, suddenly appeared. There would never be a spontaneous generation of spirits.
She continued her thoughts while staring at the castle of snow higher than her own height.
When and how was this castle built? It was never simply built with snow. If that was the case, there would be no way this shape, scale, and hardness would emerge. Inevitably, an enormous amount of mana and meticulous mana control would be required. However, it would not have taken too long to build.
If she made a fuss that much, it was because no matter how soundly she fell asleep, she couldn’t notice herself. So, did she create a structure of this size at once?
‘…That can’t be.’
That’s too much for oneself. Mishra shook her head with effort. She forcibly rejected the new hypothesis that kept coming to her mind. Because that was nonsense.
-I will live here from now on.
I remembered the woman’s last words again. She glared straight at herself and spat out the resolute words. As if declaring, he said confidently that he would not accept any counterarguments. In front of the Dragon King, whom everyone on earth feared, his expression did not waver at all.
She seemed as if she could deal with anything like herself. It seemed like he didn’t care, he didn’t care. Her expressionless expression and cold tone, which she felt was cheeky, now approached her differently.
And the blizzard reflected over the body. The power to create a castle at once and the loftiness even in front of the Dragon King. In addition, the scene of being loved by the snow spirits, who thought they had already been lost.
[It’s a coincidence.]
Even though I thought that couldn’t be the case, I couldn’t easily shake off my suspicions. They look like…
[…It’s all coincidence.]
The blizzard had died down before I knew it, and the snow was blowing. As if his legs were submerged in the strong snow, Mishra stayed like that for a while.
-I, I will do it! Don’t stop me!
-Wow, let’s get rid of it!
-Quillie is cold again. It’s hot outside!
“Be quiet.”
What a mess. Obviously, I did not educate myself this way, but who the hell did I become like this? Returning to the castle, I was desperate to stop the freekes from escaping.
I used a chaos strategy to take advantage of the chaos, but the result was still unpredictable. I looked at the dragon king, who only glanced at his wings through the window. The dry saliva gulps down. I was just trying to get over it, but what if I get even more angry and start a riot?
After the time that would have made me sweat profusely had it not been for the setting, the reaction finally appeared. Fortunately, my worries were unfounded.
Kwaaa-
The ground shook and Mishra rose to the surface, flapping her wings and flying away. It was to return to her own lair, located on one side of her snow field. I let out a sigh of relief at the thought that I lived.
“Haa…”
It may come back, but the crisis is over for now.
