Seo Jun-Ho glanced at the Edit Core.6

The Edit Core emitted gray smoke and collapsed after fulfilling its role.1

‘It’s a shame that I can only use it once, but it can’t be helped. It’ll be too much if I can use it an infinite number of times.’1

As soon as the Edit Core hit the floor, the Frost Queen shouted, “Go! My Contractor!”8

The Frost Queen’s shout was the signal, and Seo Jun-Ho started running upon hearing it.0

[My Contractor (S) has been activated.]0

[The number of blessings varies depending on the bond level.]0

[The current bond level is Soulmate. Every blessing has been granted.]2

[For 10 minutes, all stats are increased by 50.]3

[For 10 minutes, the Frost Queen will not consume mental strength.]1

[For 10 minutes, Seo Jun-Ho can use the power to block.]0

Seo Jun-Ho was just about to give up earlier, but Bringer of Spring and My Contractor granted him 80 Stamina, allowing him to move once more.0

‘I can’t use Overclocking.’0

Seo Jun-Ho’s Magic was at 80. It was but a drop in the bucket compared to a thousand magic points he once had. He would immediately exhaust his magic if he were to use Overclocking, even for a short moment.2

‘I only have one chance.’0

Seo Jun-Ho had to create nothing but darkness. However, he couldn’t afford to use a long-range attack. ‘I might not be able to kill the Archduke with skills since I don’t have enough magic to use them.’0

Seo Jun-Ho had to kill the Archduke with his own hands.0

‘Here I go.’0

The devastated scenery of the planet peeled away. He wasn’t using his magic, but his body had already reached the Transcendence Stage, so the distance between Seo Jun-Ho and the Archduke was quickly narrowed.0

“Ugh!” The Frost Queen groaned and shouted, “T-this is too much… Contractor! Hurry!”0

The Archduke’s red eyes glared at Seo Jun-Ho. He wasn’t idle while trying to escape from Absolute Zero; he controlled his demonic energy to keep Seo Jun-Ho in check.0

Eventually, parts of the frozen world shattered, and the Archduke’s demonic energy seeped out of the ice and flew toward Seo Jun-Ho.0

Boom!0

“Argh!”0

Seo Jun-Ho parried the demonic energy rushing toward him at incredible speed with White Dragon. However, White Dragon was torn to pieces as a result, and Seo Jun-Ho was sent flying away.0

“...”0

However, he remained relentless. His legs were starting to cramp, but he composed himself and started running.0

“C-contractor! I can’t…!”0

“No! At least make sure that he won’t escape!” shouted Seo Jun-Ho.0

The Frost Queen bit her lips tightly. In the end, she decided to thaw the ice that had immobilized the Archduke’s demonic energy and focused all of her attention on making sure that the Archduke wouldn’t be able to escape the ice.0

Swoosh! 0

The released demonic energy charged toward Seo Jun-Ho like crazy.0

‘I can’t use magic, so I can’t dodge them.’ Seo Jun-Ho began to calculate. ‘I have to give up what I can give up.’0

He only needed two legs to run, a head, and an arm to hold his sword. Seo Jun-Ho decided to give up every part of his body aside from what he needed to kill the Archduke.0

‘Run.’0

Seo Jun-Ho was supposed to retreat, but he remained steadfast and rushed at the oncoming attacks.0

Shwik!0

A large hole appeared on his side, revealing his stomach, but he did not stop.0

‘...Keep running.’0

Seo Jun-Ho raised one of his arms to attract the demonic energy.0

Boom!0

The collision destroyed Seo Jun-Ho’s arm all the way to his elbows, but he remained steadfast.0

“...!” The Archduke was starting to panic. He stared nervously at the human charging toward him in a straight line.0

‘What’s going on? What’s wrong with him? Is he not afraid of death? Has he gone mad after turning back time so many times earlier?’ 0

“Why are you not running?” The Archduke couldn’t comprehend it. He couldn’t quite comprehend everything from how the Frost Queen escaped his Land of Illusion to how...7
