Chapter 6 Failure to distinguish between truth and falsehood

[Dandelion Piercing] shot out and flew away, the hum of the sword blade in the air had not yet dissipated, and a white and slender palm grabbed the head.

Thump!

The headless corpse fell to the ground.

The gaze of the dead condenses the last madness and persistence, but the undisguised sluggishness and godlessness are quickly spread along with the dead air.

Those trembling, frightened eyes turned cloudy in an instant.

and the rest of the dead...... It's no different.

In the white light, the headless corpse began to disappear.

The skull in his hand also turned into light.

Specks of light floated down with the figure forward, illuminating the frost on the ground and reflecting the black figure.

In patches of frost, the black figure walked slowly, his eyes indifferent, but his steps were firm and powerful, like a master who had walked out of the country of shadows, he was patrolling his kingdom, and then ...... Stepping into another country, the land of ice.

At this moment, the streets have long since become a world of ice and snow.

Standing still, Joyce unleashed a frosty force beyond the perception of ordinary players - he, froze a street.

Freezing a water cup can be done by a player with the power of frost or something like that, and a slightly stronger one can also freeze a table, but it is not so easy to freeze a house directly.

Frost, not fire.

Aggression is like fire!

In addition to the scorching heat of the fire, there is one point that people talk about the most: spreading!

Spread with combustion as the characteristic!

To put it simply, with enough fuel, the fire can continue until it is completely burned to ashes.

But the frost is different!

If you want to freeze, you need to keep making low temperatures, and you need to keep the output all the time.

This kind of output is not something that ordinary players can do, even an advanced person can't easily do, but Joyce in front of him not only did it, but also performed extremely easily.

What's more, the other party's abilities seem to be more than just freezing.

Qin Ran raised his left hand, and pieces of snowflakes fell on his palm.

Although it melted immediately, the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger.

"This is the power to change the climate!"

"What, Flame Demon, you're surprised?"

At this moment, Joyce, who was standing in a field of ice and snow, showed a smile, and the system's concealment could not make such a smile visible, but the smile in his voice and eyes could not be hidden.

He knew he had won.

He investigated too much for the target at hand.

Sword of Dawn!

This is the only title that the other party gets.

Emperor of Fire, King of Fire, Demon of Fire!

These are the titles given by the player.

The power of the former he guessed, and the latter? It is even more clear that the investigation is clear.

Because, he knew very well that he would never be able to fight Qin Ran, who had unleashed the power of the title of 'Sword of Dawn'.

He had already understood the power of the only title, and it was the power that could truly reverse a desperate situation.

That's the way the 'witch' is.

That's the case with the 'brokers'.

The Sword of Dawn is no exception.

So......

The battlefield had to be his main battlefield.

And what could be more appropriate than a blizzard in the snow?

"Listen, the north wind is roaring."

Joyce smiled and raised her hand to point to the north.

Woo, woo!

Suddenly, the wind roared!

The sky seemed to have cracked, and the wind poured down like a river.

Huge snowflakes whistled in the wind.

They cover the sky.

Almost a few seconds later, the already frozen surroundings were covered with a thick layer of snow, and both the tall buildings and the wide streets disappeared.

All that's left is wind and snow.

They became the only protagonists of heaven and earth.

No!

To be precise, Joyce seems to be the only protagonist.

On a platform made of frost, Joyce looked down on the ground.

It's white, and it's beautiful.

But a black dot was so abrupt on it, like a drop of ink on a piece of white rice paper.

Awkward and ugly!

Under the weather!

In particular, the black dot becomes even more dazzling as it gets bigger and bigger.

Joyce frowned, he raised his hand and let out a low snort.

"Go!"

With a wave of his hand, the frost and snow immediately shook.

White snow tumbled.

The raging wind roared.

The next moment-

Turned upside down.

It's like a magnitude 10 earthquake.

The world of Frost has been reshaped.

Heaven and earth were kneaded together without distinction, and then, squeezed it hard, as if it was crumpling a paper ball, and then threw it into the trash.

The black dot disappeared at this moment.

Joyce smiled.

He was not surprised.

This seemed to him to be inevitable.

It is the way it should be, and it is the final ending.

So, when a second later, the black dot appeared again, Joyce was stunned and surprised.

How sure he was before, how surprised he was at this moment.

Unbelievable!

Joyce's widening eyes were filled with only emotion.

He looked at Qin Ran, who was approaching step by step.

The wind and snow were one meter away, and he could no longer get close to Qin Ran.

He was like an independent being from this world.

But, he's more like a black hole.

A black hole capable of devouring everything.

Whether it's the wind, or the snow.

He devoured them all.

The rest?

The road, at the foot.

Qin Ran walked slowly.

The wind can't be stopped.

Blizzard can't stop it.

Heaven and earth are falling apart...... Unstoppable.

Nothing can stop Qin Ran, who has a goal in mind.

Joyce?

He thought he could stop it.

But as the two sides got closer and closer, he was a little uncertain.

Still, he wanted to give it a try.

"Go!"

Another wave of his hand.

In fact, he had just swung several times in a row except for the first time.

Ice spikes, freezing gas, and other means were all used, but they didn't work, and Qin Ran who was moving forward seemed to ignore everything.

Joyce looked suspiciously at the leather armor hidden under the cloak.

But immediately, Joyce shook his head.

Because, it can't be.

He didn't notice any movement in the leather armor.

Joyce, who was completely focused on the [Devourer's Shadow Armor], didn't see Qin Ran's right hand.

Or right-handed gloves to be exact.

In addition to Qin Ran's deliberate hiding, it was also because the [Wilk's Redemption] [Hilt's Right Hand] in the ice and snow had already become different.

They are becoming more and more extraordinary and ...... Conceal!

It was as if they had melted into the snow and ice for a day.

Even when he continued to provide Qin Ran with physical strength and vitality, there was no change, and relying on the two pieces of equipment and props that were constantly gaining amplification, Qin Ran slowly shortened the distance between him and the other party.

[Darkness Concealment Technique] exerts its due power very well.

With the help of light, it makes everything unreal.

It made Qin Ran look like he was ignoring the wind and snow.

It made Qin Ran look like he was devouring the wind and snow.

It seems that it is naturally with a hint of falsehood.

But the unreal that is not visible is real.

So......

Qin Ran just ignored the wind and snow.

Qin Ran is devouring the wind and snow!

One step, one step.

The distance between the two sides is shortened to an extreme.

The snow-covered earth trembled violently, more violently than before, and a tornado made entirely of snow and ice rose from the ground.

Endless frost was sucked in.

The tornado is getting bigger.

A huge figure loomed inside.

Bang!

With a dull thunderous sound, the huge figure tore the tornado, and without the wind and snow, it revealed its true face, which was an ice and snow giant thirty meters high.

As soon as it appeared, it let out a deafening roar.

Then, a punch is thrown.

Woo!

The tremendous force sent ripples through the air, and the tall building in the distance was only swept away by the fist wind.

Unquestionable power!

But it's a little slower!

Qin Ran dodged and left the range of the opponent's attack, and the ice giant withdrew his fist and aimed it at the target, ready to smash it down again.

Woo!

The surrounding air was stirred again, and this punch was undoubtedly stronger than the previous punch, but the fist had not yet been smashed, and it was frozen in mid-air.

Because......

'Qin Ran' appeared in front of Joyce.

Its palm pierced Joyce's neck.

Burst!

The blood spurted out, Joyce looked at Qin Ran in front of him incredulously, and then looked at Qin Ran in front of him, and a touch of surprise appeared in his eyes.

But what's the use of that?

Death came as promised.

Bang!

The frost-framed platform collapsed.

The blizzard came to an abrupt end as if it had come suddenly.

"Tsk, stupid."

The high-level evil spirit that appeared with Qin Ran's face couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth as he watched the white light flicker.

In its opinion, the guy in front of him and the crazy guy before him were not smart guys.

One is a complete idiot.

What about the other one?

They think they're smart, but they're even more stupid.

The appearance of the contractor walking in the wind and snow should have known that something was wrong if he was a smart person, but the fool in front of him couldn't see anything at all, and instead stayed in such a place as a target.

That's right, it's the target!

In the eyes of the High Demons, Joyce was a very obvious target.

In order to construct the most powerful attack, he stood in such an obvious place without even a little protective force left.

In addition to having confidence in his own strength, he is a fool.

As things stand, Joyce is clearly the latter, even if his attack is indeed powerful.

So......

What would it be like to hire these two guys, or just two people?

"I hope you'll be smarter, or you'll ......"

The High Evil Spirit muttered to himself, but he was only halfway through the words, and shook his head like that.

In its opinion, the subordinates are so stupid.

How smart will the boss be?

……

It was another short meeting.

Didn't go to the designated place, but did it by private message.

In an almost instant, the one who was impatient on the surface and had a ghost in his heart let out a low roar.

"Bastard!"

"Bastard!"

He cursed incessantly.

Cursing and slamming everything he could see, the other man stopped panting when the makeshift room was in shambles.

He knew before that those collaborators of his were ill-intentioned.

But he never thought those bastards would be so ugly.

They betrayed him!

Although he had the idea of striking first, it did not mean that he could accept the betrayal of others.

Whew, swoop.

After gasping violently twice, he opened the private message bar directly.

There is no need to do it as originally planned.

He's going to change!

He's going to shoot directly!

He's going to kill those bastards!

But the moment he opened the private message column, he was stunned.

The names of Dida and Joyce were completely dimmed.

It's not the same as when it went offline.

This bleakness is a little deeper, a little darker.

And there is only one way to do this: death!

Dida and Joyce are dead?!

The two people he regarded as his right-hand men died like this?!

"Impossible!"

"Impossible!"

"Something must be wrong!"

Under the cover of the system, the extremely ugly face of the other party began to contact the rest of his subordinates, he needed to know what was going on.

And it's not difficult.

In fact, it's hard to ignore the icy and snowy areas that appear in huge cities.

Although the wind and snow obscured the vision, players with various abilities can still see a vague approximation.

If it weren't for the fear of being affected by the fish in the pond, they would have been able to see it more clearly.

But, that's enough.

Looking at the blurry scene of being pierced through the neck in the video, the big man who was famous among ordinary players suddenly clenched his fists.

He's dead!

Dida and Joyce are dead!

Dead at the hands of the Flame Demon!

Although he didn't see Dida's death with his own eyes, the big man knew in his heart that Dida must have died in Qin Ran's hands.

Just like Joyce.

Looking at the appearance of the black figure when he left in the video, the big man was almost suffocated.

Not only because the figure seemed to be as casual as strolling through the back garden, but also because the other party raised his right hand and swiped it over his neck when he was about to disappear.

Throat cutting ceremony.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

The big man instantly became nervous.

Although he didn't think that Qin Ran would be able to find him like this, ...... What if?

Thinking of this, he immediately began to contact his collaborators.

It's not the old ones, it's the new ones.

Soon, a deal was struck.

This made the big man breathe a sigh of relief.

And then—

Knock, knock!

There was a knock on the door.

Looking at the hint, it was a subordinate.

This subordinate can also be regarded as one of his henchmen, so this big man quickly sorted it out and walked out.

As for inviting that subordinate in?

No kidding.

He didn't want to be seen as embarrassed by his subordinates.

And this is doomed to the final fate of this big man.

The subordinate of the big man outside the door stood there extremely nervous and uneasy, and behind him was a man in a scarlet trench coat.

When the wind blew, the trench coat rose with it, revealing dark trousers and boots.

The big man opened the door and walked out.

At a glance, he saw the person standing behind his subordinates.

He was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Why are you here?"
