Chapter 144
Ryu Sunghyun quickly turned his head forward. The sudden surge of irritation was so evident on his face, he couldn’t hide it even if he wanted to.
“...What exactly do you mean?”
He asked in a low tone. Song Jiwoon blinked a few times, then slowly opened his mouth.
“For a long time, this place has been engulfed by severe frost and blizzards. Twenty years ago, the government intervened to identify the source and resolve the weather phenomenon, but every attempt failed.”
“......”
“Even a supporter with Divine Power once tried to purify the mountain, but they collapsed before passing the lower slopes. The energy occupying the mountain far exceeded that of a supporter — the outcome was inevitable.”
“So, Hunter Cha Seohu is the first one to succeed in purification?”
“Yes. In the first place, supporters capable of purifying an entire mountain are extremely rare. And at the time, other places were suffering too — rifts opening everywhere, monsters flooding out. The government eventually decided to shut this mountain off completely.”
“You know quite a lot.”
“Actually, I saw it on the news. I was still an unawakened civilian back then. I only came here after the area was declared off-limits.”
After Song Jiwoon began hiding out in the mountain, its condition had deteriorated further.
At first, he turned a blind eye to the changes, only focused on hiding. And once the mountain became precious to him, the frost had intensified so much, there was nothing he could do.
