I manage to solve Master Mason's misunderstanding successfully.

He tells me with a bitter laugh.

"I see, Aisha has trouble with it too. For a long time I've been deceived a lot."

Master Aisha's flirtatious taste could possibly be caused by Master Mason. I guess it's because I'll pelican you right away.

"What is the magic of soul replacement...... I didn't know the ancient demons who were supposed to have extinct it had exercised it. I wonder what the hell happened to this world."

"We still don't know the clear cause"

Perhaps the door to his land that Mine kept asking for is causing it. But I couldn't tell Master Mason because it was just a prediction.

Besides, I don't even know what the hell the door to his land is. Because I can't tell Master Mason and answer if he asks me about it.

"Because of that, I guess I should be thankful because I got back, too. But when it comes to whether it's okay or not, you might not always say so."

"Why not?

I didn't know you could say anything to deny it when you said you could come back alive.

I guess I had a strange face. Master Mason tells me with a slightly troubled face.

"You seem to have pulled me back when I wasn't around."

"I put it back?

"That's right. My death may have broken some of the hearts of the Harts. But we should've all been trying to get over it. Roxy succeeded the Hart family housekeeper and now firmly leads the Hart family. Aisha is also trying to support Roxy like that to be her. But the fact that I'm home could make me go back in time. That's what scares me."

"I... even so, I think it was a good thing that Master Mason returned to the Heart family. 'Cause I can never tell you that it would have been better if you hadn't come back in front of your flesh and blood."

"Thank you, Faith. I'm glad you said that."

Master Mason stood up again and asked me to shake his hand.

"It would have been better if there had been some Aaron on this occasion. Come visit me next time. You're welcome."

"Yes, I will definitely let you go"

I grabbed the hand that was put out and broke up with Master Mason.

As I try to walk out towards the military zone, I hear voices coming from behind me.

"The world is going crazy. What are you going to do now?

"I plan to travel here as soon as I know what caused it."

"... right... right"

If I fix the cause, Master Mason will probably be gone from this world.

But he had nothing to say about it. I just snorted deeply.

"If you're looking out for me, you have nothing to worry about. Originally, he's dead. So in the meantime, I'm gonna enjoy this miracle to the fullest."

"Dear Mason..."

"What I fear is more resuscitation. The whole world will be in havoc. Perhaps if the ancient demons had risen like me, they would have been more scared than we thought."

Don't even be told what you really don't want to think about. If the ancient demons are to be resurrected, the kingdom is over.

Whatever, because those demons can be in the realm of E.

Tianlong was even called a living natural disaster in this world. A demon with a status similar to that travels. Just imagining that was something to be scared of.

"That's not funny, is it?

"You're not laughing at all. Rather, vice versa."

"It's my prediction, though. I'm the one who came back to life, so I feel it."

Indeed, what Master Mason said, I am not sure. But it makes me think so, too.

I think I need to get to the military district and check out the sage's stone. Ahead, there must be this culprit.

At that time, a loud explosion rang all over the King's Capital.

If you look in a direction that sounded like a stumbling ear, it's a military zone. Black smoke is rising.

Likewise, a large ice column appeared. The wall that separates the Holy Knight from the Military District is quite high enough to look up.

The ice columns that exceeded its walls gracefully burst up towards heaven one after the other.

"That's... no way..."

"Faith! What the hell is that icicle..."

"Stay here"

"I know exactly how you are. If you're dangerous when you defeat Tenryu, I won't have my hands or my legs."

"Excuse me......"

"I have nothing to apologize for. Return to the Mansion and prepare for the hour of need."

Without further ado, Master Mason went in the opposite direction to me.

I run out. I jumped over the high wall to the military zone and went inside. I would have decided to go through the gate, but I can't say such a long thing.

"The building is... frozen"

"Be careful, Faith."

"I know."

A 20-story building is ice pickled as it is. And a lot of them.

The people who were inside don't even know if they're alive.

This skyscraper in the military zone is said to have been built with a shift in Gallia's technology. The black wall is made of a special material, it won't burn, it won't freeze, it shouldn't dissolve.

But the building in front of me was frozen.

"I guess we used Gallia's technology the same way. And it's a powerful thing. '

"You really don't have any idea what the Grid is?

'If I knew, I'd say it when they attacked me in the Hobgob Forest. Freeze everything or...'

Gried seemed to know nothing about this.

"Made with Gallia technology... it could be a weapon like mine. If so, you'll succeed '

"I don't feel any signs"

"Better hurry to Rhine's."

The ice-column is seated to trace the lab where she is. No way......

Hold back the feeling of deviation and run away. Along the way, soldiers and holy knights who had been made icy got into their eyes.

Without even telling me whether or not, it suddenly seemed to be ice pickled. Looks like he was frozen as he approached to seize it.

Moving on, it seemed to me that the further I went, the slighter the temperature would drop.

The exhaling breath is white and clouds thinly in front of her.

The intruder and thinker's footsteps were just like mine. It's still the lab where Rhine is.

The automatic door at the entrance remains open, stopping the freezing motion. Stepping inside, the soldiers on guard were still being taken into the ice wall here.

"That's not good."

"Hurry, Faith"

I pulled out the black sword, tried to get in the elevator but it didn't seem to be moving.

This ice may be causing some kind of disturbance.

There's an emergency staircase on the other side.

"Ooh."

Pull up your status and run up all at once. Then we reach the floor where Rhine's laboratory is located.

This seemed... worse than the first floor.

Perhaps the stones of the wise had just been brought in, and many soldiers and holy knights had escorted them.

Everyone stopped moving and froze quietly.

"Cold......"

Beyond the boundaries of my E realm, it makes me feel the cold that stabs me. Those ahead are definitely in the same realm as me.

Grasp the grid and slowly move on with vigilance.

After all, that seemed to have entered Rhine's lab.

Automatic doors are not functioning in the cold. However, he slashed it with a black sword and went inside.

"It's a lie..."

He was someone I knew. On his left hand he held a lost line, and on the other he held a red stone like blood.

It's a lie... it's a lie!?

He just approaches me faceless.

"Faith, it's been a while."

"Father..."

"You've grown.... this is a contract too"

My father's face I knew when I was a kid. Will my hair grow a little? Definitely, it was my father, Dean Graphite.

But from forehead to eye, only the red tattoo was different.

That's what I felt contradicted my father's face on his gentle face.

My father could afford it, even though he was pointing a black sword at me.

I was more upset.

"What does this... mean?"

You can't answer anything if I ask. Just open your mouth slowly.

"Let me keep going. Unless you want this kid to get hurt."

"... Dad, why..."

Sometimes they took Rhine hostage... and my heart couldn't move any more than that.

Dad takes the black spear out of the void. It was a spear in a different shape than what Singh had.

Turn it against the back wall, shake it. Everything freezes, smashes and scatters.

There was a big hole in the room, and I took Rhine and jumped from there.

"Damn... why not"

Follow father, peek down... blocked by thick ice walls.

I try to cut it off with a black sword, but I can't stand my teeth. Because it plays whether you slash it or not.

"Rhine!

'Calm down, Faith. You are terribly upset to see your dead father. Moreover, it is also in the reality that it was the father who created this tragedy. The pulse you're passing on is very messy. "

"Because..."

"Rhine's fine."

"How do you know that?"

"Look, the buildings around you, the ice columns are melting."

Slowly, but there was an anomaly in the ice that wasn't supposed to dissolve. Ice vaporizes like water evaporates.

People were also beginning to hear from the hallway of the room.

The soldiers and the Holy Knights, they seemed alive.

'I didn't kill him. I just froze it. Then it would be unlikely to do harm to Rhine as well. Besides, your father was supposed to be like this. It's a contract.'

"You mean you're being forced by something"

"I mean, it could be."

By the time the ice had evaporated and finished, Dad seemed to have gone far enough away not to be able to trace it.

Rhine was taken with him, without being released.

Perhaps my father's purpose was the stone and the rhine of the wise. What can I say to Mugan, Rhine's father?

I was in a pompous empty Rhine lab, and I just had to stand up.

Maybe I was floating when I met Master Mason. Maybe I'll see my dead father too... and my mother.

The stone of the wise is the split of the sin. If that's what you came for, your father might be made to be one of Singh's people. Or someone related to it...... is it?

Gried speaks a rare and gentle voice to me.

'There was no animosity towards your father. If it had, it would have been ice pickled in the Hobgob Forest.'

"Oh...... thanks. Greed... I'm getting a little calm."

"You're ruining my plans."

Absolutely right.

I tried to find out where Mine was from where Singh was, and this is it. They took my cue, and they even grabbed me to Rhine.

The spring wind was blowing in from the empty big hole. I walk out of the room feeling the room getting warmer after all that cold.

There came one of the white knights who found out about the anomaly. That's early...... I guess they've been on guard too since one of Raphal's things happened.

"Faith Barbatos. You were in a good place. You will explain the circumstances of this case at the castle. Follow me. You will be back soon, Ellis."

……

I obey the White Knight in silence. I want Ellis to know what's going on, too, and think about what lies ahead.

Father...... It was far from the reunion I had hoped for.
