Shwaaa!

The ic asleep inside of him was unleashed into the world And his cold eyes ordered the energy

‘Freeze it all’

Crackle!

The whirlpool raging in the river froze, retaining its spiral shape

There was no need to say what happened below the surface

“Phew” Freezing a part of a river all the way to the riverbed was no easy task, even for Seo Jun-Ho He stumbled when the dizziness hit him, and he quickly stepped down onto the frozen surface of the river

“A-are you okay?” Cha Si-Eun asked When she saw his haggard face, she immediately activated Breath of Restoration As soon as the ht blanketed his body, Seo Jun-Ho unconsciously closed his eyes

‘AhThis feels so nice’

His ic circuits were shocked by the way he suddenly pulled out a h Seo Jun-Ho left his body to the comfortable sensation and slowly opened his eyes

“You were the one who healed ht?”

“You looked like you were suffering”

“Even though it’s late, thank you for healing htly and slowly pulled hith and width of the area he froze were around thirty meters But because he had frozen the water all the way to the riverbed, he only had about thirty percent of his ,” Cha Si-Eun said with genuine admiration She knew he had an ice eleht before her made her eyes flutter The frozen whirlpool was so beautiful, it seee piece of art

The ht instead of acting haughty “They’re dead, just like that”

He couldn’t see his enemies this time around either, but he knew that they were dead

“How do you know that when you can’t even see them?” Cha Si-Eun asked

“Well It was a cheap trick”

- That is rude

“Haha, really?”

Cha Si-Eun blinked at his re to?”

“Well, you just Oh, wait” He looked down at the Frost Queen, but she was ad the frozen whirlpool with a pleased look on her face and her hands clasped behind her back She see her child had made

‘Wait, Frost wasn’t the one who said that? Then as it?’

Just as the confusion settled in, the voice rang again, along with a familiar vibration in his temples

Vrrr

- You speak so flippantly Let us speak again in the future

Seo Jun-Ho’s jaw dropped when he realized where the voice was co from

“Oh ained a voice

When they returned to the estate, the two Players found people looking for them everywhere

“I found Seo Jun-Ho-nim and Cha Si-Eun-nim!”

“Immediately inforhts let out a sigh of relief They had been searching the estate thoroughly, worried that soht have happened to the two of them

Count Evian had called for Seo Jun-Ho because he had so to tell him, but he was shockled to discover that all the Players in his estate had suddenly disappeared

“Haaa Huff I thought you all had packed up and left without a word because you cured hter,” the Count said

“We would never do that,” Seo Jun-Ho said with a bashful sht?”

“Well Listen to me, and save your surprise” Count Evian sed and looked hiht in the eye “The Sun of the Empire himself has summoned you”

“The Sunof the Empire?” Seo Jun-Ho blinked, and his eyebrows furrowed “If I am correct, there is only one person in the whole of the vast Eht?”

“Indeed” Count Evian nodded heavily “His Majesty the E was so sudden First, Keen Intuition’s dignified voice in the middle of battle, and now, a sus one after another Seo Jun-Ho let out a so to the palace?”

“In four days’ tio to the imperial palace at noon”

‘Four days, the palace That’s not bad’

Once he went down to Earth after visiting the palace, it would be just about time to wake Mio up

“Understood”

“Rest well, then”

Once Count Evian left, Cha Si-Eun spoke cautiously, “Is there so? To think that the Emperor would summon a Player As far as I know, this is the first time this has happened”

“I’m not sure what it’s about either But I don’t recall ever doing so, so I’ll be okay,” he replied

Seo Jun-Ho escorted her back to her room “You worked really hard today You must have been in shock, so rest up”

“I did nothing Like always, you—” Cha Si-Eun trailed off and bowed her head “I’ll be in your care from now on”

“Likewise See each other, in a wayI’ll be in your care as well”

They shook hands They laughed as they met each other’s eyes They weren’t worried about their future Though they would be playing different roles, they had fought alongside each other before, and their coreat
