The Frozen Player Returns

ast Holy Explosion.

‘The gap will be there….’

It would be the first and final opportunity.

”Inquisitors, listen, ” Hart spoke in a confident voice rather than in a downtrodden voice.
”As soon as the archbishop uses Holy Explosion, I want you to charge at the remaining death knights. ”

The death knights could stand in his way, so they had to be stalled.

”Understood. ”

”We will carry out your orders. ”

The inquisitors answered.
Seeing Hart fight the death knights, they knew how strong the death knights were.
However, the inquisitors weren’t afraid.

It had always been their job to make hold others accountable for their sins.

”And where there is sin, that is where we would be… ”

The eighteen inquisitors were prepared to die, and they got ready to charge.

”Oh, Sun Goooood! ”

The archbishop was exhausted, but he forcibly erupted with an energy that couldn’t be ignored.
The plains of Merhen were once again illuminated in a golden light.

”Does he not get tired of that? ” Nazad Hallow seemed annoyed as he lifted his staff once more.

‘Now’s the chance!’

Hart quickly fell into his own domain.
He vanquished all thoughts from his head before removing his own existence as he gripped his sword tightly.
In the end, the only thing that remained in his domain was his sword.

– …!

– …!

Hart’s aura changed.
The death knights seemed to have detected that change as they turned away from the archbishop and rushed at Hart.

”Block them! ”

”Don ’t let them take a step—Ugh! ”

”Fulfill your orders! ”

A death knight crushed an inquisitor ’s head, while the others collapsed with their guts spilling out as the death knight kicked them away.

”Hold them doooown! ”

“Uuuu, uaahhhh! ”

The inquisitors cried and screamed.
They forcefully pushed away their fears and reached out with their limbs to stop the death knights, even if just for a moment.

– …!

The scene was like an uprising of mere insects.
Furious at the unsightly faces of the inquisitors, the death knights moved and cut them down.

”Kwack, kuk, glory…! ”

”Please, win… Sun God… bless…!”

May your future be blessed with sunshine.
The inquisitors drew the holy symbol before they were torn to shreds.
Finally, the freed death knights rushed to Hart, pulling out their swords.

”…Haa. ”

The white breath created by the cold air of dawn flowed out of Hart’s mouth.

However, hot tears were flowing down his eyes.

”I am a sword.
I am a part of the world.”

I could reach anything and cut it down.
Hart reached a state of unity with the sword.
His crimson sword aura turned chaotic.
It was just a sword.
A weapon to harm others.
Hart swung it in the direction of a small dot in the distance.

He swung it in Nazad Hallow’s direction.

”Cut the mountain. ”

“…!”

The two death knights that appeared right in front of Hart turned into dust.
Nazad Hallow ’s face changed for the first time.
He felt a shiver down his spine.

‘I have to avoid it.’

As soon as he realized that he had to dodge it, he also realized that he couldn’t possibly dodge the incoming attack.

Slice!

There was a sharp, ear-piercing shriek, and all eyes landed on Nazad Hallow.

”Hmm. ”

His right arm holding the staff was now on the floor.

He gazed at the severed arm and muttered, ”I got off light.”

An individual’s mind could be as strong as steel, but a severed arm would still bring much pain to the unfortunate.
However, Nazad Hallow didn’t let out even a groan.
It seemed that the concept of pain didn’t exist for him.

“Now, it’s my turn…” Nazad Hallow picked up the staff on the ground with his left hand.

All of a sudden, a rumbling noise could be heard in the distance.

Rumble!

”…Water? ”

He looked behind him with a frown.

He could see the plains of Merhen and the Henness River in the distance.

‘Are my ears wrong?’

Despite there being a river there, there couldn’t be a sound like a tsunami coming in like this.
When he thought that maybe his hearing could have received a problem as his arm was cut off –

The river was so far away, so why was there sound reminiscent of a tsunami coming from the direction of the river? Nazad Hallow couldn’t help but think that Hart’s attack might have disturbed his hearing as well.

At the thought, Nazad Hallow turned back to Hart, but the sound became clearer.

Rumble!

Finally, Nazad Hallow could see it clearly.

”W-water? ”

”No, rather than water…”

The surviving inquisitors stared with blank expressions.
It was a tsunami.
A tsunami was rare, even in the sea, so there was a sense of surrealism to see a tsunami coming from a river.

’…Wait, someone is on top of the tsunami.’

Nazad Hallow gathered magic in his eyes, and his expression turned ugly upon confirming the identity of the individual riding the tsunami.

”Seo Jun-Hoooooo! ”

It was his enemy who had murdered all of his disciples.
It was an enemy he was determined to kill at all costs.
However, Nazad Hallow hesitated at the same time.

‘Is he perhaps just going to pass by like that?’

The distance between the Henness River and this place seemed to be at least a few kilometers long, and it was in a different direction as well.
Unless Seo Jun-Ho could change the direction of the water, the tsunami wouldn’t pose a threat to him.

”Of course, I won’t be able to do it on my own. ”

Fortunately, he wasn’t alone.
Seo Jun-Ho stared at the Frost Queen.

He unleashed his magic, and the two of them stretched their hands out.

Craaackle!

A huge slide made out of ice was created in the blink of an eye.

The ferocious and furious river followed the path of the beautiful ice slide.

“…!”

The tsunami was diverted so cleanly that it was satisfying.
The water rushed down the slide and flew exactly where Nazad Hallow and his army of corpses were located.

Craaaash!

The tsunami struck the plains of Merhen.
