Chapter 178 Watchguards (5)
"You said 26 years?"
Gilberto blankly stared at Seo Jun-Ho The latter patted hi I was like that at first, and Skaya Come to think of it, she was fine”
"Wait, then Arthur…”
Gilberto’s fist, resting on his knee, trembled He recalled Arthur, who in contrast to other children, had no choice but to leave the protection of his parents at an early age
"Arthur, yes The reason I woke you up is because of Arthur"
"…What does that er"
“”
Seo Jun-Ho thought Gilberto would be angry or very excited since he was that much of a sucker for his son However, Gilberto was ht Rather, Gilberto asked calhtly colder and sharper voice than usual
"A little otten caught while chasing a fiend He is currentlySo, I woke you up"
"Wait…"
Gilberto closed his eyes and gathered his ic tattoo engraved on his left forearm After a while, his eyelids tre"
Gilberto didn't feel anything He couldn’t feel even a speck of Arthur's presence in the world Seo Jun-Ho quickly explained in case Gilbertoto track where he is right now Arthur isn't on Earth"
"Isn’t on Earth? Does that mean Arthur’s dead?"
The moment Gilberto's eyes became filled with resent the continent of Frontier
"…What’s thisthe Frost Queen It's the continent of Frontier"
"Frontier? 2nd floor?"
“Currently, this world is made up of a total of 10 floors The Earth is only the 1st floor"
"Then"
"Arthur is currently on the 2nd floor"
Even though it was Skaya's location tracking ic, it was iht be on the other side of the universe or even in a completely different dimension, from Earth
“”
Gilberto rose from his seat in silence and pulled out a sniper rifle from his inventory
it down in an instant, he checked that there were no proble it over his shoulder after asseo"
He didn’t ask about anything else, such as how , or even whether they could handle theht now
"To where Arthur is"
Only the thought of saving his son, Arthur, filled Gilberto’s head
"As soon as I go up to the 2nd floor with this mask on, the reporters will be all over me" Seo Jun-Ho said as he shook his Specter mask
Journalists and Guild members wouldn’t be able to stay still if they saw hined a contract with the Big 6 that he would announce his cooperation with them to the world on the day he went up to the 2nd floor
"Jun-Ho, then isn't that dangerous? If the fiends see the reporters, they'll be on guard," asked Gilberto with concern
"Of course, they’ll be on guard, the ones near Dustang won’t be, though," replied Seo Jun-Ho
Those fiends probably never ieted because they most likely had no idea that Arthur was Gilberto’s son
"Froh chance we’ll get followed"
If the Fiend association’s plans were in order…
"It's going to be annoying"
The fiends couldn’t come down to the 1st floor openly However, it was different the other way around
"Did you say that the fiends of this era are strong?"
"The strong ones are strong since it has been 26 years already"
The fiends who regarded Specter and the arche as prey probably wouldn’t be able to control their itching bodies Especially since it was not even the 1st floor, but the 2nd floor where their front yard was
"We have to rescue Arthur while shaking off the pursuit of other fiends,” Seo Jun-Ho reher than any other mission since he had awakened from the ice Seo Jun-Ho even felt sorry for Gilberto, who had just woken up a few hours ago
"…The situation isn’t good You and I even have a debuff called the Curse of Bitter Cold," mentioned Gilberto
"Oh, about that" Seo Jun-Ho lifted the bracelet It was a mithril bracelet made by the dwarves that Skaya had enchanted "I've prepared some tricks for days like this”
"Tricks?” Gilberto asked, looking at the bracelet
"Yes, tricks"

Seo Jun-Ho put the bracelet on his wrist The e sense of coot the Curse of Bitter Cold debuff, I -Heon was a fiend who had the skill, Dispel (A), and he died when he encountered Seo Jun-Ho in the Blackwall Maze
"I thought about it the ot rid of hiht that he could resolve the curse on his own As such, he prepared the so-called Dispel Bracelet
"Even with the A-grade Dispel, the Curse of Bitter Cold can only be reduced by an hour"
So Seo Jun-Ho thought that the power of the Curse of Bitter Cold couldn’t be lifted by a person’s oer But what if it was an artifact?
"If it's an artifact that can activate the saic hundreds or thousands of times in an instant”
Perhaps it could be possible then…
"Stand back"
With Seo Jun-Ho's warning, three people, including the Frost Queen, stepped back At the saic, led it toward the bracelet
Seo Jun-Ho felt as if his body had becoic stats had disappeared, his ic was nonetheless like a boundless sea

"Dispel"
When Seo Jun-Ho whispered and activated the bracelet, the flow of h!</ee ahtly out of anxiety
"As expected It wasn’t fully stabilized The ic enchanted sword It wasn't certain if it would work properly, and even the aic consumed would be ihest ic conductivity, but Skaya still could not hide her anxiety
