Lord of the Skill

Spring of Vision

“Are... are you sure it's okay to break up here? ”

“Are you worried about me? ”

“Ha, ha, ha. No, I was out of line. ”

Heatless laughed at Kang Gun-woo's words.

But to be honest, when he first told me where he was headed, I was surprised.

Ban Station.

Some places you should never go in the Seven Thorns.

One of them is the Spring of Vision.

It was known that no one had returned alive until now, and it was also called a place of death for outsiders who did not have the proper information.

‘If the Antihum had not gained superior eyes, the spring of vision would not have been able to escape death before. ’

Heatless was not just to watch while Kang Gun Woo was slaughtering his heart and fur after hunting Lor-broke.

Just as Artis Karesh spy on them in Fermilar, he examines them with magic, too.

The protection magic hanging from the ivory tower was strong enough to be known to be spotless, but one of the three enchantments hidden in the antihum, the superior eye peers through even the protection magic of the ivory tower.

The brightest soldier I've seen there.

I didn't think it would have been completed, but there was something even more surprising.

‘Aln Javius. ’

The fact that there really existed seven elders who were rumored to be nothing more.

‘Let's see if it fits with the legend of being alive from the beginning. ’

Fever felt Kang Gun Woo's gaze on him with a worrying face and paused for a moment.

“No, not that much. ”

Gun Woo, who was nervous about saying something embarrassing, nodded his head scratching at his answer.

“Well, I'll see you back on Moran Meadow. ”

Entering the Frost Plateau.

The cold feels like a dream.

Kang Gun Woo fortunately relieved that the deepest puddle of water on the continent known to him by Heatlessness and the ‘Ice Heart’ that can harden Lorbrook's fur were not far from the entrance to the plateau.

When I thought I was still supposed to be at the top of the blizzard, my body trembled by itself.

“Sure."

Heatless nods and walks in the opposite direction.

The forest that lay along the path of the frozen plateau was not made up of ordinary green leaves.

The Dark Forest where red and black trees grow like crazy.

‘There is a spring of vision in there. ’

What else is in there?

I did not even know the zealot who had lived in the Seven Thrones for 15 years in the War of the Races. Until then, the Spring of Vision was still a place covered in veil.

The fever clears its throat and takes a slow step.

“Ah.”

At that moment.

Heatlessness turns its head toward the thought of something.

“Kang Gun-woo.”

“Yes?”

“You'd better keep warm and go. The ice heart is filled with water cooler than the frozen plateau. ”

“…… eek. ”

His expression relaxes with a bloodshot smile, and his fever sets his first foot into the unknown realm.

* * *

It's subtle.

Artis Karesh couldn't describe the situation any other way than this.

‘If you have come to the ivory tower, you will not be able to escape death. ’

I don't know if it was a coincidence or a plan, but it was clear to his eyes that at least he was avoiding the handshake he was about to go through right now.

A berserker of your own making.

Aln Javius tried to use it.

However, his plan became insolvent as he entered the fountain of vision.

It is not difficult for Aln, the great wizard, to move only a few dozen soldiers.

‘The problem is the fountain of vision. ’

Artis Karesh looks carefully at Aln.

“You arrogant... How dare you. ”

The appearance of a slave wizard grinding his teeth and making fun of them was never good.

Kuaang!!!

Aln Jabius, however, shifts his gaze and slaps the floor.

A spring of vision that holds infinite magical power.

‘It is rumored that the seven elders are gaining power near eternal life. ’

The problem was that the fountain contained such an enormous amount of magical power that it was vulnerable to magical effects.

Because there was a lot of magic that was stronger than the protection magic of the ivory tower, the moment it opened a large movement spell, the magical power field in the fountain of vision turned upside down and caused Sam to become a mess.

‘Ultimately, we cannot move the brigade. If you want to stop the fever now, eventually, Al-Zabius, you'll have to go to the Fountain of Vision by yourself. ’

Artie looks at him, shaking his head as if it were hard to resist, with a lot of impression.

‘But……. ’

Nevertheless, it was a fountain of vision called the prime room gold station.

Where even Artie Karesh has never been.

‘Aln Javius, that old raccoon, will not leave the Fountain of Vision defenseless. ’

It was the most important place for the seven elders, not just by himself.

‘Do you believe in something, Kang Woo Fei? ’

“I'm leaving right now. Artie, get the ivory tower ready for the magic squad. ”

“I understand.”

Artie looks up at Aln's back as he climbs the stairs.

‘If you come back to life with Al-Zabius...... then I will follow you. ’

Gulp.

He tightens his hand on the ice claw in his hand and swallows his thirsty self into a nervous mind.

* * *

It's overwhelming.

How long have you been walking in the woods?

The forest in the dark, with only a murky sound like earringtones, was enough to make it uneasy even though it was hot.

[Even Spirits aren't this magical. It looks like the air here has compressed its magical power.]

Kungen said as soon as he entered the forest, he was surprised by the scent of dark magical power that made his head ache.

“W-we……. ”

Aki rubs her nose against the feverish legs as if unable to breathe.

“There is no monster. ”

[Of course. Even monsters of medium strength can't survive at this level.]

It was then.

The fever stops, sweeping his nose with his index finger.

He mutters in a low voice.

“The smell of blood... …. ”

I feel faint in my dark magic.

It was strange to hear that blood flows from the home of the elder of the seven elders, Aln Jabius.

‘What...? ’

The fever breaks.

Despite the unexplained forest, there was a strange place that caught his eye.

Shhh.

Unknown tension.

He draws two swords.

[What's wrong?]

“Wait……. ”

Kungen asks for fever, but with a stiff look, he hurls through the grass.

It was then.

The sight that caught his eye.

The fever stiffens without shutting up as if I'd lost my words.

[What the……?]

Even the Spirit King Kungen couldn't help but groan when he saw it unfolding before his eyes.

“Glug... Glug... ”

“Glug... glug... glug... ”

“Quite...! ”

You hear a peculiar sound that sounds like it's slitting the pig's throat.

Strange creatures gathering in the forest, like us.

Everyone looked different, but not all of them could be seen in this world.

There are several transparent hoses embedded in the backs of the monsters prowling in the cage, striking with pain.

Bloop.

Glug glug.

A kind of sap rushing into dozens of hoses, drawn from the monster's back, and into a large pool.

Every time a liquid is drawn from within the body, the monsters collapse, screaming in agony, and then they just vomit out their miserable breath.

You feel a heavy magical force in the large pool.

Heatless felt what it was.

No, I don't.

It's a situation we have to know about.

Pow.

He grits his teeth without even knowing it, and he says in a loud voice.

“Is this the kind of place a fountain of vision.... ”

We know the identity of the monsters trapped inside us. I don't see it in the Seven Thrones, but I've seen a lot of monsters since the Race War began.

Horse.

As soon as I walked in here, I could see why I felt so much magic.

Made a spring out of magical power directly from the Horseman's body.

And through its magical power, the Council was gaining immense power close to eternal life.

Even if it was an enemy in the War of Races, it was a terrible sight for Humans to have done.

The feverless blade holds the horse and tries to cut off the hose.

“Stop. You'd better not cut that. And not seeing it anymore is good for your mental health, Kang Woo Fever. ”

“ ……!! ”

At that moment.

I didn't even feel a pulse, but the voice coming from behind my back suddenly turns feverish.

“Don't worry. I'm not the one you're worried about. I'm very interested in you, unlike him. ”

The man places his hand on the shoulder of the fever.

“How excited I was to hear you were coming here. Alan, you gave that old man a good shot. ”

“Who... are you?" ”

“But it's not over yet. He wasn't just trying to steal something from an empty house like a petty thief. Even so, I don't want to rescue the Horsemen who became Magic Slaves because they felt sorry for them. ”

Then he circles around the heatless area and strokes the heads of the horses tied in chains.

[Crook…… crook…….]

“It's disgusting. I know. I think so, too. ”

The man looks at the dying horseman and says with a cold look.

“As you can see, killing these sacrifices doesn't mean the fountain of vision disappears. The elders of the Senate have magic, so I will continue to fill them with new sacrifices. ”

“That's why I'm going to make you an offer. ”

He said with a meaningful smile.

“About once.... ”

I grabbed his hand and patted him on the forehead.

“Don't you think you need to solve problems with your head instead of your strength? ”

“What is that…? ”

“Any man who wants to take the throne. ”

He said so, and lightly flicked his finger.

Then another person pops out of the bush as the back splits open.

“You……! ”

“Why don't you put your life on the line? Aln Jabius is never an easy opponent. My concern is for you two to put your heads together. ”

The man said proudly as if enjoying the situation.

“The Fountain of Vision must vanish. From the beginning, Sam was the soul gland made by God. There's only one. This is unacceptable, made by humans along the Soul Sack. ”

I looked at her as if I couldn't believe her fever.

“Of course, you too. ”

“How did you get here? ”

“Of course I'm asking. God gave me a chance. ”

I didn't understand.

This is the forbidden zone.

In his own memory, even her has never set foot here.

Heatless said the name of the leader of the blue lion who looked at him coldly.

“Raell Stalen. ”

“I saw what happened at Trammel. Yonker did the same thing. I don't like crossing paths with you...... but there's no better tool for a dirty business like the Senate of Seven. ”

She glances at you for a moment, looking at you with a expression that she doesn't even want to talk about.

“Hey."

It was a series of surprises, but instead, I turned to the man with a look that was absurd after shutting up like this.

“What's your name? ”

[Diago. Divine Representative Seven Thorn is the guide to tune the largest stream of water flowing.]

Moment.

His voice changed.

With a proud attitude, he raises his heart high.

“…… Representative of God? ”

The moment I listened to Diago, I remembered what he said when I met Azazel, one of the eight Demon Generals.

Obviously, he said that God's representative would have gone to this world as well.

“I see. That's you. ”

However, despite the appearance of Diago, fever is just a nod.

“In short, you've called Raell here to make history the way you want it to be? ”

Diago grimaces lightly at his unexpected reaction.

“Crazy. What? Use your head instead of your strength? ”

[…… what?]

“They don't need that kind of mercy. ”

A fierce flame rises from the two heatless swords.

“Not a worthy opponent for a head. ”

* gasp *

I slaughtered the lake on my back with no compassion for the monsters inside me.

“Rael, as you say, we destroy Sam. But if you don't want to die, get lost. ”

The sap of magical power coming out of the hose soaks the floor and emits a white smoke.

Diago sensed something was wrong at that moment. Why his mother, Lakshmu, ordered him not to reveal himself to the fever.

You hear a cold, seamless voice in a forest full of white smoke, like a mist.

“Because it's Alan and you, and I'm gonna cut it all down. ”
