Chapter 133 - Winter Queen (4)
[I never expected a group capable of passing the last trial toon saying this is another testAht?”
Artpe heard a female-like voiceIt was as if the voice had been planted directly in his brainHe replied in an apathetic manner as he sat down
He looked defenseless, but an extre his bodyHe would be able to react to any attacks that ca else for you]
“Thatmore for the other party members?”
The female sculpture nodded her head in assentArtpe had been absent the sculptureHe suddenly choked
“You are alive!?”
[It is an Artifact containing all my RecordIt is apt to think of me as a type of Golem…do you mind if I continue my speech?]
She had shown him insolence in this ruinArtpe wondered if he should shut her upHe also wondered if he should listen to herHetowards the latter option
“All rightDo whatever you want”
[First, I want to talk about youYou easily ignored allthis placeYou blocked all my attacks, and in the process, you passed all the trials using brute forceThis is why I decided that any further tests would be lessOn the other hand, this isn't the case for your partythey were able to reach this place, because they relied on eive them another opportunityIt's a chance where they'll be able to prove their worthDo not worryThey did received your help, but they did reach meI will not put their lives at risk]
“It just means you can't muster up an attack that can kill themYou have created five pocket dimensionsYour power and will have been splitWill you be able to kill my party members, who are over level 300, with 1/5th of your power?”
At Artpe's astute observation, the feive a rebuttalShe had lost this move, because she had underestimated Artpe's assessain correctHowever, it is also true that I have no intentions of killing any of you]
“······”
Artpe didn't deny that pointIn his past life, Artpe couldn't reach the ruin's owner through his oerIt had been the saiven theh her will did they receive a rewardIn the end, she had given a part of herself to them
She could only mimic life, but she wasn't aliveThat hy she was able to n of this ruin in the first place
“Basically, you don't want me to interfere with the test”
[That's exactly it]
Artpe knew that this being had the ability to rip apart this pocket dimensionThis was also true for the pocket di his other partyall the rewards, it would be best to go along with her testsInstead of killing this being to acquire the loot, it would be better to gain the cooperation and blessing of this beingHe would deal directly with herThis was the obvious path
Artpe reh
“I know ht now, so it isn't sitting ith me…”
[You really love your friends Last tiuess it is the same this time aroundYou haven't searched out this place just for sake of the hero's partyThere is another reason, right?]
Artpe'syou brought that upYou”
[Motten that he was separated from the others in this pocket diest reason why he sounded annoyed right nowThe voice had spoken as if she knew everythingThe owner of the voice had a secret, and this secret was like a fishbone stuck in his throatIt kept aggravating him
Fortunately, he was separated from his party membersHe decided it was the best time to resolve the question he had
“How much do you know?”
[I just remember the flow]
However, it see, so she answered in a comfortable tone of voice
[I know that you searched this place out as a Deain as the hero of humansI also know about the children, who used to be on the other side of you in your previous lifeThey have accompanied you to this placeThe time-frame of events have been hastened this time around, but that holds no importance to meYou possess an unheard of power to flip history, but ed by it]
Artpe was a bit shocked, so he became silent
It wasn't as if he had believed that he was the only one to remember one's past lifeHe had been aware of the possibilityThis hy he had made numerous preparations before he movedHe prepared for the unexpected
However, when he was faced with so about this past life, he was at a lossIt lasted for a brief ue idea about it?I was once a queen that had ruled over winterI've existed as a huonIn the end, I continued to live on as a conceptI died, yet I wasn't fully deadMy Record remained within the depths of GlaciaDo you realize how vast my Record had to be for that to happen?I'm sure I don't have to explain any further]
“So there are other beings besides you…?”
[I don't kno many there are, but I' you a question this tiet complicated, so he weakly nodded his head
[Hoere you able to reach me?I was barely able to discern the fact that the power and Record of the Wind Spirit King was infused into your bootsHowever, that doesn't fully explain why you and your party was able to get so close to e of setting the destination would have been your responsibility]
The question asked by the voice was also so he had expectedSince she knew about the past lives of Artpe and the hero's party, their conversation would go save her an answer
