Kieeeck-!

Bang-!

The scenery of Ifrit was like hell.

The city walls crumbled in various places and the monsters swarming towards them.

Even the number of Ogre packs throwing boulders from afar was substantial.

Some even showed appearances of invading inside the city.

“Ugh!”

“Block them no matter what!”

The leisurely soldiers only then flusteredly set out to respond.

However right now without the major adventurers they were merely helpless.

Ding-

Han-bit who was running close to the city walls checked the popped up messages.

The second monster wave has visited Ifrit.

You must help the adventurers and soldiers block the attack.

Goal: Protect the city from the second wave.

Reward: 300,000 gold, Experience 100,000, Stat points 8

*Current progress: 60 percent

– Wow.

– The rewards are out of their mind. Lol

– 30 stat points?

– Why is it always X10 times just for him?

– If you’re jealous be born as Black Dragon. Lol

– F*cking birth theory.

Han-bit quickly scanned the long consecutive messages.

The gradually approaching monster pack.

He immediately moved his hand and distributed the stat points.

[Black Dragon – Lv.64]

[Title: None]

Strength: 80

Agility: 80

Intelligence: 80

Stamina: 63

Remaining stat points: 0

Stats invested concentrating on power increase.

It was to raise the effect of Attribute Manifestation that activated after the cutscene ended.

Slash-!

Zenon who went ahead defeated monsters and headed to the city walls.

It must be a heart wanting to check his daughter’s safety first, but it wasn’t him to turn a blind eye to the danger that struck the city.

Whoosh-!

A gust of wind raging from Han-bit’s sword blade.

The chill loaded on that wind was gradually intensely strengthening.

Perhaps thanks to the skill’s rank rising, the preparation speed of Attribute Manifestation became faster.

Setting aside simply the difference between flames and chill, should he say the density that elements condense at is different.

‘Let’s concentrate solely on area.’

The characteristic of the ice spirit is freezing.

If he loads this on Swordsmanship of the Wind and flies it he can expect even better effects.

Grrr-!

Kiek-!

As Han-bit approached the monster army, those guys bared their teeth and turned their gaze.

An enormous number to the extent no openings were seen.

Even a small mistake would obviously make him enter the path of death.

Even in such a situation, Han-bit entirely didn’t hesitate.

Dash-!

He who lowered his posture twisted his body holding the sword hilt with both hands.

And then keeping an eye on the direction slashed the sword horizontally wide.

Whoosh-!

The wind created along the drawn trajectory.

The intense chill raging inside it caused a change.

Crack-!

Glacier’s power flying loaded on the wind froze the atmosphere in an instant.

That spread out following the trajectory at explosive speed.

Rumble-!

An enormous chill filling the vision in an instant.

That power covered the swarming monsters making everything freeze.

Dash-!

Although strength drained from his body, he still had leeway.

Han-bit immediately kicking off his feet moved to a location not far away.

It was the path the remaining monsters were rushing in from.

Whoosh-!

Han-bit entering into the pack drew a large circle and swung his sword.

The scattered chill following the trajectory immediately made his surroundings freeze.

Crack-!

An area exceeding the sword’s trajectory even without loading it onto the wind.

Han-bit perfectly confirming the performance let his sword droop down.

“Hoo.”

As he breathed out, pure white water vapor bloomed.

A calm silence followed shortly.

What broke through that atmosphere were the viewers.

– Crazy. Lol

– Isn’t this the Snow Drake?

– Black Dragon (garnished with snow)

– Spirit King class ㄷㄷ

– What if the main body comes out instead of the trace, does RP perish?

– Earth might perish too;

Reactions surprised at Glacier’s power suppressing a widespread territory came up.

“Everything… everything is frozen!”

“What is this…….”

The soldiers and adventurers fighting a desperate battle at the city walls ended up stiffening right on the spot.

Because the monsters fighting desperately had all frozen.

Even the remaining guys received damage such as one foot freezing, so they were not in a normal state.

“Black Dragon-nim!”

At that time, Avant-garde’s voice rang from behind.

He was running like crazy sparking his eyes.

“It is an unbelievable power! So this is Glacier’s trace!”

“Wow, you can freeze that number with just two strikes?”

Kim Jae-ha also was surprised opening his eyes wide.

To swing a sword twice and have such power.

It felt anew just how amazing a Spirit King’s trace is.

Although Black Dragon handling it was also something far beyond common sense.

“A sword withstanding power of that magnitude…….”

Goric concentrated on the sword held in Han-bit’s hand.

Since it was a weapon he hadn’t used in the past, wouldn’t it be okay to show it to him once.

“Defend the breached path!”

At that time, Zenon’s voice was heard from the city walls side.

As soon as he saw Han-bit’s movements, he must have immediately joined the defensive battle.

“I will clear up a bit more.”

Han-bit caused a wind on his sword blade once again.

Because cleaning up the frozen monsters was also too much for Ifrit’s current combat power.

Whoosh-!

As he used Elemental Amplification, a rapidly surging gust of wind.

He who grabbed his posture directly swung his sword towards the frozen monsters.

Slice-!

The blade of wind spreading widely cleanly severed the frozen state monster pack.

He couldn’t kill all of them, but the remaining was their share.

– Look how refreshing it is.

– You freeze them? Sylph just kills them.

– A hidden skill’s beginning was the wind indeed.

– Fundamental ㄷㄷ

“I’ll join towards that side.”

Han-bit who finished cleaning out headed to the city walls together with everyone.

The injured appealing pain from various places and the colleagues treating them.

It was a happening because the city walls collapsed.

“Black Dragon-nim!”

Zenon who was moving busily approached.

Han-bit looking around asked.

“How is the situation?”

“Thanks to using your strength we were able to protect the citizens safely. The monsters that invaded inside seem to have been a minority too.”

“That is a relief. The problem is the city walls.”

Han-bit turned his head and examined the city walls broken in various places.

They still maintained their shape, but several sections crumbled so it was an unstable state.

“Yes. If an attack comes one more time in this state it won’t be able to hold out. If we had changed the materials of the city walls in advance it would have been fine but…….”

Zenon had said it was a ridiculous thing since the days the glass walls were built.

However the citizens without a sense of crisis steadily supported the mayor.

Because aesthetically and economically it was satisfying.

“Repairing the city walls is possible even now, but is there an intention to really use this?”

Goric who was standing at the back threw a question looking at the city walls.

Since they retrieved the heritage, they can return to the technology of their golden age.

Repairing city walls like that was not even work.

However repairing this as it is was hard to understand.

“That is a matter of course.”

At that time, a woman walked from inside the city.

It was Ifrit’s Mayor, Firnen.

“I didn’t know even you returned.”

Firnen discovering Goric narrowed her eyes.

And then spitting out a lamentation spoke.

“Trying to check the city walls repair situation, but making sense they’re more broken? Let alone leaving it to the Dwarves makes me feel pathetic myself.”

“…You are still the same. Are you so blinded by money that you don’t even think of protecting the citizens?”

“Well. Not words to hear from you who abandoned the people and ran away?”

– Battle of nerves ㄷㄷ

– But is it facts?

– If they brush against each other it’s a fatal wound.

– No Firnen’s thick skin seems to be +20 enhancement.

The two people who clashed several times in the past exchanged sharp-edged words.

Firnen folding her arms strictly raised her head and looked around.

“This is a decided matter. If you don’t want to leave the Dwarves outside the city again quietly only do the repairs.”

“…Tsk.”

As she brought up the treatment of the dwarf people, Goric shut his mouth.

A situation where he had no choice but to accept even though the result was blatantly obvious.

However for Han-bit it was a perfectly fitting flow.

“Mayor, how long will the city walls repair take?”

“…It will not even take a day. Since I heard the chunks are there.”

The huge glass to be used for the city walls repair is already stored in the city.

Simply they didn’t have the technology to process that.

“Good. Proceed like that. Please summarize and charge the costs too.”

Firnen who explained with an expressionless face looked at Han-bit.

Meeting eyes he casually threw one piece of news.

“Ah, for your reference I discovered the Snow Drake at the snowy mountain.”

“…What did you say?”

At the completely out-of-the-blue story Firnen was flustered.

The master of the snowy mountain already treated as a legend in the back alleys of history.

To say that was discovered now, it was somewhat hard to accept.

“For spitting out as a lie it’s a grave issue. Do you know?”

“As proof of that I also brought materials of the Snow Drake. I will drop by the guild, so you can receive the report later.”

“…….”

If there’s proof she couldn’t conclude it as a lie either.

If it’s true the Snow Drake was discovered it’s a considerably grave issue.

Firnen who closed her eyes for a moment then opened them showed courtesy formally.

“I have to hear the report, but if true you raised a huge achievement once again. I will provide a reward together for this part as well as soon as organizing is finished.”

She who finished talking abruptly turned her body to move where the injured soldiers were.

And then she spat out an annoyed voice.

“What is this disgraceful behavior? What did you leave neglected how for problems to arise in the city walls?”

“Yes? As for us taking action the monsters were…….”

“Do you not know soldiers are deployed to take that action? And there was a report the turret operation was late. I will undoubtedly hold you responsible for this part.”

At the one-sided reprimand the soldiers were flustered.

“Mayor-nim, with these city walls we cannot protect the city.”

At that time, one soldier stood up from his seat.

Hearing those words Firnen narrowed her eyebrows.

“Are you blaming the city walls for your problems?”

“Reprimanding is fine either way. However, if we leave those damn city walls as they are eventually they will collapse.”

– ㄷㄷ

– To truly charge at this;

– Since he’s a loyal subject, she’ll probably do something for him right?

– Yes, I gave you company bullying~

At the warning plugging straight in Firnen narrowed her eyes.

And then pointing at the city spoke.

“If we change the city walls and tourists drop, and the reputation as an art city plummets, who takes responsibility for that? Can you take it?”

“I will do whatever if it’s something I can do.”

“No, there is nothing you can do. A story impossible even if you pour out a few hundred of those lives.”

Firnen suppressing the soldier’s will shook her head as if pathetic.

Looking at the injured she turned her body and spoke.

“I will not accept differing opinions. Enter maintenance as soon as recovery is finished. I will receive separate reports on the city walls repair situation.”

Firnen gave the last instruction and walked inside the city again.

“Wait…….”

Zenon quietly listening to the conversation tried to call the mayor to a stop as if he couldn’t hold back.

Han-bit blocking him lowered his voice.

“It is fine. Leave it like that.”

“Yes? But it will really become dangerous in this state.”

“There is a reason I brought the dwarf’s heritage. If touched things might twist, so please trust me.”

“…….”

At those words Zenon watched Firnen’s receding back.

He was thinking of making the city walls’ problem he suggested several times pierce her brain anew.

However if Black Dragon has some plan the story is different.

Because his tracks watched until today gave trust bigger than anything.

“Understood.”

Zenon nodding his head approached one soldier.

It was the man who confronted the mayor a little while ago.

“You’ll be fine, so for now recover and concentrate on maintenance.”

He conveying consolation shared conversations a bit more.

After the soldier’s gaze quietly reached Han-bit, he nodded his head.

“I’ll do that.”

Zenon finishing the story along with an answer returned again.

At that time, an alarm rang the ear.

“First of all we will move to the guild.”
