Chapter 1448 – Baekgye
However, my father’s face quickly disappeared. I returned to the cold snowy field.
“Dre!”
“Dre!!”
Homun and Mari are holding my shoulders.
Marie looked surprised and immediately imbued me with divine power.
“It’s okay.”
I spoke in the clearest voice possible, stood up, and jumped up and down.
This way you won’t disturb me.
However, Homun and Garcinido still had unappealing faces.
“…Are you really okay?”
“Master Dre.”
I guess it’s because we’ve known each other for about a year. I guess I can almost feel what I’m thinking.
But I did not back down and kept a stern expression.
“It’s okay. Fortunately, this mental attack doesn’t have much effect on me.”
This is a fact.
Other people are still suffering from illusions, but the time I saw the illusion was at most one second.
There are individual differences.
“Let’s proceed rationally. I, the one who is at least sane with this phenomenon, will find a way out.”
Homun, Mari, and even Nelf and El, who had already approached me, looked like they wanted to stop me. What can I do? There is no other way now than that.
Or not. Going back like this?
Should I go back and use the stairs in the southern White King’s Land?
It’s unrealistic.
The white legion had already chased deep underground into the black earth.
No place is safe anymore, so you go to the stairs that are said to be infested with white legions?
Everyone is aware of that fact.
They are paying attention to the unimaginable phenomenon and the oppressive reality right before their eyes, and want someone to take action.
This cowardice is basic to humanity.
That cowardice is perfect for me right now.
I shook off people’s stares and walked forward.
At that time. My unique sense vaguely senses a shapeless trap.
Just vaguely.
Perhaps it cannot be completely avoided.
I didn’t even want to avoid it.
This time, I waved my arms wildly and tried to touch two things at the same time.
Rattling. Faaat.
That space from before. Dad appeared again.
Pot!!
I’m back.
This time, three times as much as before. I had a vision for 3 seconds.
Also. If you get caught in a trap all at once, the time it takes to see the illusion increases.
When I returned to reality, the three hero parties were gathered next to me.
El and Nelf also seemed to want to come towards me, but Homun was stopping them with a wave of his hand, as if he thought there might be a trap left nearby.
“Please follow me from a little distance.”
I got it this time, the item everyone wanted me to use. ‘Old king. The skill ‘Giantization’ of ‘Spirit of the Lord of Storms’ was activated.
Coo coo coo coo!!
The body size increases more than ten times in an instant.
I became a giant.
Please. As for the part where the gigantism is released when shocked, I hope that the shock only applies to the physical part.
“Sleep, Dre!!”
“Wait Lord Dre!!”
“Dre!!”
After all, it’s a hero party. He has a strong spirit of sacrifice and is willing to step into the trap with me.
Great spirit though.
It’s bothering.
Whiooooo-!!
A skill that can be used once a day with the soul of the Lord of Storms. Activate ‘Lord of the Storm’.
Since it is a skill that blows away everything except allies, it has no effect on the hero party, but as the wind blows in the snowy field, the hero party hesitates for a moment due to the blizzard.
Meanwhile, I moved forward.
Thud! Thud!
Huge footsteps echo in the snowy field.
As his body grew, his stride length increased and his speed also increased.
And.
Rattling. Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle
The sound of so many traps activating can be heard, incomparable to before. I was in a space of courtesy.
“…”
“…”
Dad still remained silent, glaring at me with a look of extreme disgust on his face and eyes.
Although I was a little trembling, I walked up to him and flopped down. He knelt in front of him, lowered his head, and looked closely at his father’s welcoming face.
I know this is an illusion.
It is clearly recognized.
However. This is an illusion, but it is closer to my dad in real life.
It is a vision that closely resembles the father I know, materialized from my memories.
This expression is still vivid and will not be erased from my memory for eternity to come.
If you see it up close, even as an illusion,
If you pay attention to how he reacts.
At that time. Wouldn’t I know why my dad was glaring at me like this?
I looked into my father’s face for a long time.
Dad didn’t stop glaring at me for that long time.
Woe!
At some point, the welcome ended again.
I looked at my hands. Fortunately, he was still as big as a giant.
It seemed that the mental shock was not going away from the enormity.
At that time, I felt eyes on my back.
The worried looks of my colleagues and students.
And the guilt of the team members. Watching eyes.
I raised both hands and made a gesture saying it was okay.
“Everyone. Conserve power.”
I wasn’t making a sacrifice, I was making a rational decision.
You have a duty to conserve power.
Let’s give that excuse.
I continued to move forward, feeling a slightly more relaxed atmosphere among my teammates who had a cause.
Rattling. Rattle rattle rattle.
I repeatedly stepped on the trap and saw my dad’s face.
How long has it been?
It was around this time that the hazy but bright snowy field suddenly became dark. A change has occurred.
Instead of lying down and glaring at me, my dad was standing upright with his arms crossed and giving me a disappointed look.
Since it doesn’t seem to be working, is there a change in strategy?
What a clever trap.
It’s a stupid trap.
That’s right. Because I was feeling joy.
“You.”
Dad’s voice.
Welcome to the topic. Why does it resonate in my heart so much?
“The girls who say they like you. It’s okay for them to have other girls, so they just ask you to accept them. I can’t say anything about you stretching out your octopus legs. But shouldn’t you have a clear attitude?”
Welcome to the topic.
Why are you like this? Does it say what I want to hear?
Are you scolding me?
The illusion quickly disappeared.
I quickly jumped into the trap.
Rattling. Rattling rattling.
“Your girlfriend. That girl is so pretty and true. A woman like that will never come to your attention again, so hold on to her properly.”
“Hey. No matter how much it’s for the sake of your girlfriend. Whether it’s Clarir or Laies, you only give them room to use them. Doesn’t that look really ugly? You should have been like a man and kept it all. Tasha.”
“No. I’m not saying you should openly cheat on octopus legs, but I’m saying that you should at least think it over and come up with a compromise.”
“What are you talking about, Mr. Kwak? Are you poking your eyes out?”
Ah.
Dad was really angry.
At the same time, my heart aches. I miss you so much.
I see
Although I was ignoring it. I wanted to get scolded.
Using the quest and my girlfriend as an excuse, I took advantage of the best, best, and best women who showed me clear favors, and made up my mind that I would betray them one day. I am disgusting, doing the same things as the seeds I loathed. I wanted to get scolded by someone.
It’s scary to be scolded by your dad.
I’m happy at the same time.
This is not a snowfield of despair.
It’s a healing snowfield.
“…Still, eat a hearty meal.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard.”
Because there is no way despair could tell you something like this.

What are we doing now?
Around 10 hours had passed. Many team members had such sentiments.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
A few words came to mind for everyone as they watched the back, which continued to move forward persistently even though it stumbled.
Largeness.
Sublime.
And embarrassed.
The person on this team who works the hardest, is the strongest, and produces the most encouraging results. What are they doing while they are taking on the most dangerous and difficult task?
Just following behind. Is the best they can do to stare at that man’s back and feel embarrassed and uncomfortable?
It was that moment.
Ta-ta-ta-tat.
There were people running on both sides of Dre. They are the red monster, the leaders of the yellow filth, and the White Rabbit, the chieftain of the Mabing tribe. And it was Elysia, the daughter of Greize.
“Demon, I will do my best to help you.”
“I will also sacrifice what I lack.”
Haha. West!! We will help too!!”
“Hey, you. I’ve been wanting to talk to you since yesterday, but who dares to call you the West?”
Growling at the White Rabbit, Elle increased her pace and walked ahead of Dre before stumbling. She fell into a trap.
She woke up a moment later, shivering.
“…This. It’s hard.”
She gritted her teeth as she broke into a cold sweat.
Dre has already done this alone for 10 hours.
I won’t just watch anymore.
Ta-tat.
Nelf followed suit, falling down and barely standing up.
The image of her mother played in her mind.
She would have been better off blaming you for her death, but her feelings of guilt will accelerate as warm memories of her past replay.
But. This pain is better.
Rather than the guilt they felt seeing this man sacrifice himself for them. The guilt of illusion is better.
And that look. I feel sorry for the hearts of those left behind. The flame burned.
Other team members. For example, if other wizards had stood next to that man, they might have cursed him, asking why he had to create an atmosphere where he had no choice but to come forward.
However. The Mabing people, who were considered uncivilized, and the dolls, who were not even considered human.
The struggles of fragile girls.
And the hero party with the maximum power behind him was walking with great strides. It made me feel great shame.
Wizards who entered the Magic Tower, an infinite competition system, and were forced to become efficient and rational.
The noble act ignited the moral and warrior spirit that had been sleeping deep in their hearts.
“…Tsk!!”
Cranium took a long stride forward and Cheongtapju caught him.
“Cranium. What are you doing?”
“What are you doing? Those dolls are coming forward without hesitation, so you’re telling me to stay still?”
“Yes, it is.”
The moment when Kranium gets annoyed. Cheongtapju stepped forward.
“You, who have the strongest attack and defense abilities, must reserve all your strength in case of emergency. Since the main battle is versus against a monster, I, who am relatively incompetent when dealing with monsters, step in.”
Jerk. Jerk.
Cheongtapju steps forward without anyone trying to stop him.
He, who is evaluated as being more cynical and rational than anyone else, takes off his robe and goes next to Dre.
He didn’t know why he was doing this either.
Just. He wanted to do this.
“Shit.”
“This doesn’t make any sense. This is… Crazy.”
While grumbling, the team members, including the wizards, moved forward one by one.
Geumtapju, who had fallen and was trembling, is in front of me. I stared at the back, which was so big.
It reminded me of the time when Magic Tower entered the White Realm, was blinded by rewards, and decided to betray Dre after falling for the words of a mere stranger.
I thought betraying Dre was too extreme.
Aside from being foolish, I wondered if these people were decent people.
I didn’t think I was that low of a person.
The sight of those who had been so looked down on moving forward one by one aroused fear in Geumtapju’s heart.
A man stood next to him as he groaned and got up. He was Hwang Tapju.
He was warming up, saying he was going to move his body for the first time in a long time.
“Are you going?”
“…Yes.”
While the Tower owners were moving forward, the silver Tower looked at them, cleared its throat, and did not move.
“Because we have to conserve power…”
I said it as if I was making excuses, but no one listened.
Right now, I’m just trying to make my way through.
There are two more people who are as still as Euntapju. There was Arylgear and Teiria.
Among them, Teiria closed her eyes as if her head was pounding, and then sighed as her earth disappeared.
“…Ah. I’m not this kind of person.”
I feel like things keep getting weirder when I’m with that guy.
Tayria walked in front of her with a look on her face that said she really didn’t want to go.
Eryl Gere pursed his lips and lowered his head.
***
What the hell.
In the fantasy, I was sitting still while listening to my dad’s sermon, and when I came out, there was a crowd of people in front of me.
The problem is those people. Instead of taking care of myself, I run forward and eat all the traps I should have eaten.
“No. Everyone?”
Why are they suddenly such a bastard?
They turned and grinned at the sound of my voice and walked away without even calling me.
With more than a hundred people moving forward at once, the speed of dismantling the ships is very fast.
…If this continues, won’t all my healing boxes be lost?
It’s still not enough.
I haven’t been scolded more yet.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
As I ran hurriedly, the wizards shouted.
“The captain wants to take the lead!”
“Let’s go first!!”
No, what are you saying?
Why are they suddenly saying this?
He gritted his teeth and let out an impassioned speech. No. The moment I was about to scream.
[The hidden conditions have been met and the Nightmare Snowfield has been ‘completed’.]
“?”
Do you?
That moment. Paaaaa-!! All the snow on the snowy field melted, green fields appeared instead of snow, trees grew, and flowers bloomed.
While everyone was dazed, I boomed. Thud. I walked forward with a thud.
Ah. Also.
…I didn’t sense any trap in my senses.
The trap has disappeared.
Such punishment.
