chapter 63
Episode 63 .
After leaving the command barracks, Aiden immediately went to the stable inside the garrison.
It was because Gielan needed a horse to ride on.
I called a stable keeper who was busy cleaning up horse manure.
As soon as he saw Iden, he lowered his head in amazement.
“Oh, the regimental commander, is there a fisherman going to this shabby place?”
“I heard that the fastest horse in the unit is here. Can you give it to me?”
Since it was possible without even asking, the man quickly opened a barn.
A huge warhorse strode out. The man stroked the horse’s muscles and put on a rather proud expression.
“He’s a guy that’s second to none of the famous horses improved by the church. His name is Taycan. You will surely be amazed when you drive it.”
Iden never had to ride the Taycan. Because Petra was there. It was the same with Chiron.
Gielan swept his words up and down and nodded.
“God, you lost your body once. I will run quite a bit.”
Having said that, Gielan jumped up and boarded the back of the Taycan. Quite a satisfactory sight. Iden looked at the stablekeeper.
“I will return it later.”
“No. I will go find you separately.”
Aiden nodded and climbed onto Petra.
“Siron, what is the body of the beast?”
It was a perfume used to hide the human body odor when the execution team exterminated the Ain tribe.
“I put it in a bottle and took care of it.”
“Good job. let’s go.”
We headed straight to the border.
*
At the northern edge of the empire, an unprecedented barrier rose to mark the border.
It was a low stone wall less than 5 meters high, but underneath it was a canyon, so it was a defensive wall with performance that exceeded its height.
While many troops were mobilized to finish the work, Aiden arrived here. The soldiers welcomed him with bright expressions and loud voices.
Daryl and Sane turned their heads as soon as they heard the cheers.
The boulders floating in the air were shot into the canyon. It was because Daryl’s chain broke.
“I am better!”
“Paladin!”
The siblings rushed over and stopped in front of Iden.
Aiden dismounted and looked at them, smiling lightly.
“Sain, you’ve grown so much that I don’t know you.”
The child’s growth was much faster than the years, and her magical achievements were far superior.
He was not a talented person who would pile stones.
Aiden gently stroked Sein’s head. She drew a pleasant arc and smiled softly.
“The Holy Knight has become even more handsome. You don’t know how many times I have reread the Bible.”
I thought that the content was not very good for the child’s emotions. However, this was not the case for Sein. Because there was no innocence in her heart.
Aiden nodded.
“thanks. But you are doing the kind of labor that Daryl would do.”
“hehehe, my brother kept asking me to run away, so I watched him…”
“three!”
Daryl covered his brother’s mouth and let out an awkward laugh.
“······ hahahaha, better. Even if this Daryl is going to be crushed to death by a stone, he’s not a man to back off. You know better than anyone.”
Aiden tapped him on the shoulder and said.
“Euron has become quite strong, but has he caught up?”
Daryl grinned.
“I’ve said it before, but he’s a genius. Euron is not yet my opponent.”
Talking about talent in front of the Sword Saint. Gielan could have snorted, but he didn’t react.
It was because even the Sword Saints acknowledged the siblings’ talents. The two were not the blood of the archmage for nothing.
Daryl said triumphantly.
“I will prove myself in this war. You must not forget the dagger you entrusted to you, sir.”
Aiden smiled and nodded.
“Yeah, I’m glad you’re doing well anyway. Hoepo decided to solve it after the war. three.”
Aiden looked at her.
“Can you handle warming magic?”
“I took it off a few months ago. I also take care of the northern horses.”
Aiden pointed at the three horses and Shiron.
“It should be able to withstand even if it goes into the depths of the ice cap. please.”
Sein nodded.
It was easy for her now. A magic circle spread out in the air. The leaked magic power wrapped around the horse and Shiron.
It was magic that Aiden and Gielan didn’t need. Because they were both unaffected by the weather.
“It’s done.”
It was an instant.
I immediately got on Petra and looked at Daryl.
“I need to get out.”
Daryl yelled at someone, and the iron door rattled up.
canyon right in front of you. A cold chill squeezed through the crack in the door and blew through.
“Sir, I don’t know, but please be careful. I ran into a few of them when I went out, and they were very venomous.”
“Don’t worry.”
After saying that, Aiden went straight through the castle gate and headed for the simple bridge built in the gorge.
Bridge soon to be demolished. As the horses’ hooves touched, the crude iron plate trembled unnervingly as it lifted.
It looked as if they were trying to throw food into the gaping canyon.
However, the meal that the cliff would swallow was not Iden.
They were beasts. The valley will become the grave of the demiurges.
Aiden carefully rode his horse to the other side.
After going through the bridge for a long time, the horse’s hoof finally stepped on the snow again. Millennials. The surrounding temperature began to drop rapidly.
The weather was very sunny, so I could see the pure white world at a glance.
It would be nice if this kind of climate could be maintained, but you never know when there will be heavy snowfall and gale force winds.
There was quite a distance to the destination, so I had to hurry up.
*
Deep Ice Age.
At the northernmost tip of the continent, where the snowfield ends and the glacier begins, there was a huge ice castle.
This building was a work of art that could never be built with the power of a beast.
Therefore, demi-humans think that this ice castle was created by spiritual beings.
Also, it is said that the gods are continuing their long hibernation here. The beasts had no doubts.
one was wrong
The ice castle was not a dormant place, nor did their gods build it.
It was just a prison and a death penalty.
The spirit creatures who were defeated by Vacheksar were waiting for judgment here.
The subhumans, completely unaware of this fact, came here to pray for success in hunting.
Only the head of each tribe could visit the ice castle.
The big tiger standing on two legs was Sangun. The rabbit with ears longer than the body was the king of rock caves. A lion the size of a house boasted a golden mane, and a white bear covered in pure white fur refrained from excitement.
In addition, numerous heads gathered in the ice castle.
All of them worshiped God in their own way.
There was a prison where those gazes were directed.
Beings trapped in huge, transparent ice. The gods, who had been frozen for two hundred years, could not hear the prayers of their followers.
said the bum.
“Is Fenrir outside?”
The lion snorted.
“I guess so. I can’t even come in.”
Heilang, who had been deprived of the name Fenrir, had no right to visit the Ice Castle. Even if you are the king of white beasts.
In fact, I didn’t even have to come. Because the person he believed in wasn’t here. The prudence of the subhumans, only the nine-tailed fox was not trapped in the ice castle.
After the prayers, the two leaders stood up one by one.
Snow Leopard stretched out.
“Let’s all enjoy ourselves. know?”
The lion growled and glared at her.
“Don’t get in the way. If the hunting grounds overlap, your family will be torn apart as well.”
“Is this f*cking bastard now?”
Just as the lion was about to respond to the snow leopard’s swearing, Sangun slammed the ground. Blah blah, the ice cracked.
“stop.”
Bum stared at the two with yellow eyes.
As the sense of intimidation oppressed the hall, the snow leopard and the lion could not open their mouths.
It was just a facial expression. The white bear looked at the two as if they were pitiful and took the first step.
So one by one they started leaving the ice castle. They will head to the Empire from now on. festival day. The beast’s eyes were burning with madness.
Meanwhile, Aiden and the others watched the scene from a nearby snowy mountain.
In fact, it was only within Aiden’s eyesight, so Gielan and Shiron couldn’t see anything.
Iden said.
“Senior, everyone has left.”
The Sword Saint nodded and stood up.
“Get up.”
Aiden’s huge body rode on the back of a small old man. In Shiron’s eyes, it looked very incongruous.
It was a little funny, but she held back her laughter. Aiden said to Shiron.
“If a beast appears, don’t let one live. Also, never lose your warhorse.”
“Do not worry. I will value it more than my life.”
Aiden looked at Gielan again.
“Sir, you can go.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the swordsman stepped on his footsteps.
Slowly avoiding the dense trees, I started to descend the foot of the mountain at a great speed. Like a ghost, there was no sound or presence.
Aiden’s body vision could barely keep up with the swiftly changing scenery.
It took just a moment before the ice castle, which had been quite far away, was right in front of them.
Aiden couldn’t help but admire. At this point, the state of the strongest of mankind is because the level of movement is different.
Gielan let out a rough breath as he looked at the brilliant artwork.
“It’s getting old.”
Aiden immediately got off his back.
“no. It just feels like we still have a long way to go.”
“Sounds that are not even in the heart. You know your vessel better.”
Hot breath flowed from Gielan’s mouth and was blown away by the cool breeze.
“It’s still a long way off. Rather, the elders. You can bring it over there.”
A huge gate made of ice. Numerous teeth marks were engraved.
Iden pointed at one of the dogs.
Gielan inserted the fang of the previous leader Heilang into the slot.
Slowly, the ice door opened with a very soft sound.
Gielan looked at Aiden with an expression that said he was not praying.
“Are you really receiving a revelation from God?”
“Similar. Please go inside.”
Contrary to the magnificent exterior, the inside was empty. The floors were not divided, and the ceiling was endlessly high.
There was nothing but a huge glacier perched at the front end.
One or the other was enough.
Aiden and Gielan walked slowly through the clear ice.
Four animals were frozen inside the glacier, like stuffed specimens.
Millennium Ice. It was a prison that never melted.
Gielan looked at the prisoners and laughed.
“They are spirits. Vacheksar has put a breather on it.”
“you’re right.”
Aiden took out the divine spirit from his bosom.
“And now the time has come to die.”
When divine power was injected, pure white brilliance spread in a straight line and pierced the ice.
The thousands of years of ice began to exhale the cold chill like mad.
He resisted with the momentum to freeze everything around him, but it soon faded away.
The glacier melts relentlessly. Soon after, it poured like a waterfall and hit Gielan and Iden.
The chill from the floor only froze the water again.
Suddenly, the confined prisoners fell to the floor.
Iden shattered the ice clenching his feet and walked towards them.
They piled up the gods, who were drooping and whose life and death were unknown, like a tower.
He raised his holy sword.
Then I hit it down with all my might. Quad deuk-! The gods’ necks rolled and came to a halt at Gielan’s feet.
The cut section was hardened by the cold and could not even spurt blood.
The Sword Saint’s expression twisted in surprise.
Aiden couldn’t see Gielan’s face because of the numerous messages that engulfed his son-in-law.
Authority, god slayer blooms. He just nodded his head as he read the text.
