It was relieving that Seregia took that time as a good memory.
âWarrior.â
âYeah.â
âHave you found the method?â
âIâve found it. Donât worry about that.â
Seregia smiled quietly because of my confident answer.
I also smiled, looking at her face.
I became so much calmer after I met Seregia.
As soon as the Barrier was restored, Seregia would return to her original form.
A giant mountainous sword inside the Barrier.
Thatâs her original form.
The fact that Segeria used the form of a sword, not a human being, proved that she perceived herself as a sword.
Iâve come to a crucial realization.
The swordsmanship that Seregia desired was flexible and adaptive, agile, and complex technicality.
However, the sword that she finally selected had such overwhelming weight and power.
The difference between the process and the result was incongruous.

It had been three weeks since I met Seregia and talked to her.
Yong Yong, who slept for a long time, finally woke up.
I was very glad about that. So was Ho-chi.
Yong Yong was happy too!
Yong Yong just awoke from his sleep, but the atmosphere in residential area became much brighter.
The air was fresher when he was around.
Ho-chi, Yong Yong and I hung out together everyday which made Yong Yong very ecstatic since three of us could play together.
And today, I took Yong Yong to the 61st floor for a picnic, just as I had promised myself during his sleep.
Yong Yong was excited to get out from the 60th floor and go to somewhere he had never been before.
He prepared his outfit and had been waiting for today with his cross bag full of odds and ends since yesterday morning.
As soon as Yong Yong arrived on the 61st floor, he was so excited and ran around.
He was so cute, like an excited puppy.
He didnât care much about the poor environment on the 61st floor.
After playing around the entrance for about an hour, we headed to the palace of the Ice Queen.

âHe is your son. Okay, I see. â
The Ice Queen nodded with a relieved look.
She acted like she was like looking at her cute grandson.
âWhen you told me you wouldnât raise him as a challenger, I had some assumptions, but I didnât expect he was this cute. â
Said this old woman while looking at Yong Yong who was making snowman with Ho-chi.
These two people could create more than a snowman, either by magic or whatever, but they were making snowballs the hard way and drawing a facial expression with their fingers in order to make a snowman.
âDad! Look at this! Uncle brought a carrot! â
Shouted Yong Yong, who made a nose for snowman with the carrot that Ho-chi brought.
Yong Yong was simply happy just because there was something to make snowmanâs nose.
By the way, Ho-chi seemed to like Yong Yong as well.
How could he think about bringing carrot?
âIt looks good. Really. â
âThank you, granny â
âSister. â
It was ridiculous.
What kind of sister is She?
She was alive even when Dangun grandfather set up Gojoseon. (Dangun is the legendary founder of Gojoseon, which is the first Korean state.)
She wants me to call her sister? I would feel rather better to call her queen.
âSister. â
âUhh... This is kind of... â
âCall me sister. â
âOkay, sister. â
She chuckled delightfully after hearing my words.
The huge ice door opened, covering her laughter.
âWeâre all gathered here!?â
A huge lava giant entered the Ice Palace.
Even in the lava flowing down from the giantâs body, the Ice Palace didnât collapse nor melt.
The giant didnât care about that and sat around us.
Although he only sat down, the earth shook as if it was collapsing.
âWhy did we gather here!? Why not gather at my Lava Hall?!â
âBecause Yong Yong prefers cooler temperatures over hot ones.â
âAlright! This kid must be the hatchling!â
This old man looked around Yong Yong with novelty.
Yong Yong shrank back and defends himself against the unfamiliar sight.
He smiled and sat down besides granny.
âYou look delighted.â
Hearing my words, he laughed joyfully.
His laughter was too loud.
I knew and prepared in advance, but Yong Yong didnât. He covered his ears with both hands and ran to hug me.
âMy ears hurt! â
The giant laughed again because of him.
âI waited and waited for a long time and finally I was able to get out. Iâm still trapped in the same world, but Iâm happy that my range of actions expanded. Thank you again, King.â
âYouâre welcome. I just did my job.â
âWell then, when are we leaving this world?â
Why did he have to ask me such a serious question while I was enjoying myself.
I knew he would keep asking until I gave the answer, so I answered him.
âNot long. Weâll escape soon. â
âOh, really! So the challenger is almost there, right?! â
Not long ago, Lee YeonHee cleared the 35th floor and arrived at the 36th floor.
If she passed big crises safely and there was no accident happened, she would arrive at the 60th floor easily.
âSheâs almost here. But the day we get out of here is near regardless of where she isâ
âRegardless of where challenger is? How could that be?â
âWhat do you mean? Weâll just break through it by force in the next six months to a year. If she doesnât make it here by then, weâll escape by ourselves.â
