"ah! Are you awake?" asked a young girl wearing a medical uniform with a blushed face when she saw the boy in front of her.
The boy had snow-white hair and a pair of sapphire-blue right eyes shone while his left eye ... Covered by white eye patches.
However, this does not make the plus value of the boy reduced. Instead, it stirred up an immoral desire in the girl's heart upon seeing the boy's appearance.
Just ...
Cracks!
"What?!"
The girl in the medical uniform was stunned, startled when her body was suddenly instantly caged in ice.
He wanted to break away, yet no matter what he did, he could not break this ice!
As for that brat, Lux, he still had an ice-cold and indifferent expression. Behind the eye patch, the clockwork moved in his golden eyes then stopped on the roman numerals ... 'I'.
"Stop!"
From the shadows, the assassins of the Frost Family suddenly appeared and wanted to stop Lux's actions.
But they were a step late ...
" ... Acceleration>>"
Lux's figure instantly disappeared.
...***...
[Why did you run away? ]
In the palace of consciousness, the White Queen asked calmly as she watched how Lux ran at the speed of sound.
'There's no reason unless this place is dangerous to me.'
[ Meaning? ]
'I am not a real human being. You must know that.'
[ ... I-i know. You are an artificial man ]
For this matter, the White Queen of course knew. What he felt the first time when he learned this fact ... It's anger.
Yes, anger. As an artificial man or homunculus, Lux must unhesitatingly suffer inhuman and unimaginable pain.
And White Queen ... Wanting to get angry and kill the scientists who have done so to Lux.
Although his heart was turbulent with killing intent and fury like a ferocious beast, the White Queen's expression still looked calm then asked.
[ Then what does that have to do? ]
'For the Duchness of the Frost Family, she had a son whom she held dear to. And coincidence ... The DNA of his son is in my body. Then imagine how a mother feels when she knows her favorite son's DNA is used as an experimental material?'
[He will destroy it without the rest ]
'So, the answer is clear.'
With that in mind, Lux directly landed on a pile of snow after passing through one of the trees.
However, the boy immediately squinted when he saw some figures seem to be waiting for him.
"Well, shall we meet again, boy?"
A familiar knight appears in front of Lux. The knight was the one who had blocked Lux's escape path earlier.
This time what made his expression change was that the level of the knight was higher than before ...
Level 8 (low).
[ Need some help? ]
'No.' Lux shook her head then created a mask of ice to cover her face which was too ... Handsomest.
"Hey, kid. Why did you become an assassin? You know, with your talent and appearance, I doubt anyone would want to reject you."
The knight said doubtfully. His name is Gelles. Originally, he had thought the Frost Assassin was a heartless assassin.
Only, after learning the information from Duchess Olivia, he found out that the boy in front of him was just a child who lacked affection and possibly ... One of the children suffered the most.
Born as a homunculus, forced to accept inhuman torment, tried to resist but was helpless, and his birth was rejected by many ...
It was an experience that could not be imagined, even for Gelles herself. If he was in Lux's position, he might have already died of insanity.
To Gelles' question, Lux did not answer. Actually, Lux had already thought of Gelles' suggestion.
Only, many families and other powers did not meet Lux's requirements.
Nyx Laboratory is not a soft persimmon. They had crazy combat power due to having several members at level 10 (high) and even Transcendent levels.
At least, the family chosen by Lux is equivalent to or at least as strong as the Nyx Laboratory and has Transcendent levels.
And not many reached Transcendent level. Even only duke-level families had creatures at Transcendent Level.
Among the duke families in the empire, there were two family options that were suitable for him.
The first was the Frost Family. Frost Family has a long history and certainly has Transcendent levels but it is clear ... It's impossible for Lux to join in the wake of Duchness Olivia's hatred.
The second is ... Apocalypse Family, a family where there are many geniuses with a variety of unique magic that is powerful and deadly.
Yeah ... Although no one possessed Lux's magic and monstrous talent, there was no doubt that the Apocalypse Family was a gathering place for monsters and was suitable for her.
'Anybody joined another empire or kingdom ... That's more impossible. They will not believe in the creation of Nyx Laboratory. They'll definitely be suspicious and try to kill me.'
Lux had thought about it carefully. He had already thought about losses and gains so that he could make the right choice.
'I just need to escape from this place then look for the owner of the 'Divinity Frozen' magic and join the Apocalypse Family easily.'
After thinking nonchalantly, Lux was ready to use large-scale ice spells as a diversion.
"To be honest I want to fight you myself, but we're worried about getting hit by the same trick again. So ... We'll fight you simultaneously."
Mage, assassin, and knight. Once again, Lux saw the elite troops of the Frost Family and some of them had even surpassed Lux's level.
And the sight where he who was just a boy, was surrounded by super elite troops, left Lux not knowing what to comment for a moment.
[ ... They really don't underestimate you ] Even the White Queen fell silent.
He did not expect the Frost Family to attach such importance to Lux that it did not hesitate to deploy most of its elite force.
As if ... Lux is a demon that must be exterminated before it grows into a Demon Lord.
Right now, unless Lux used the Mystic Eyes of Time World, it was impossible for her to escape.
Unfortunately, although Lux had already rested for a few days (not sure), [whichever] she had not even recovered 1% due to the previous fight.
Plus he had just used his Mystic Eyes which left him running out of [where] ...
'Looks ... Can only use that.'
Staring into the sky, Lux narrowed her eyes. But when he was about to use one of the dangerous spell ice magic ...
The deg!
Lux's heart is beating fast. An extremely familiar and strange feeling once again filled him.
'No–'
Lux's expression changed slightly. He leaped quickly to the back, only to have the elite forces of the Frost Family chase after him.
"Don't think of running away!"
An ice sword instantly appeared in Lux's right hand and spun around while swinging her sword, only to find it shattered in the next second ...
But Lux remained calm. He only created weapons out of ice in various forms, swords, daggers, spears, axes, and so on ...
He created everything endlessly!
Just ...
Cracks! Pyars!
It's all ruined.
Be it swords, axes, spears, and other weapons made of ice instantly broke apart.
The countless ice weapons created by Lux were destroyed in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, even the elite troops of the Frost Family were stunned, not understanding what was happening.
Suddenly their movements all stopped when Gelles gave a signal not to do anything with a wave of the hand.
"That boy is over" murmured Gelles.
Different from the others still confused, Gelles could already guess who the Frost Assassin was now facing.
Although ... His figure is still invisible.
'Then, I will use it without hesitation.'
A cold glint flashed across Lux's gaze. His fingers danced and the originally low temperature was getting lower.
The snow became frozen and Lux's body slowly emitted a cool aura that would even make an ordinary human instantly become an ice sculpture!
"<Pyar!And it failed once again. One of Lux's strongest spells could not be activated and destroyed, making the boy's eyes slightly widen.'Nullification Ice Magic shouldn't be so ku–'Pluk!When Lux wants to enlist the help of the White Queen, suddenly ...

Pyars!
And it failed once again. One of Lux's strongest spells could not be activated and destroyed, making the boy's eyes slightly widen.
'Nullification Ice Magic shouldn't be so ku–'
Pluck up!
When Lux wants to enlist the help of the White Queen, suddenly ... His body was hugged from behind, causing him to be unable to move due to being stunned.
'What–'
"Calm ... Lux." - Lux."
" ... " Hearing that voice, all of Lux's strength instantly vanished as if leaving her body. The boy ... I don't believe what's happening right now.
Touching the smooth white hand that was now hugging her quietly and tightly, Lux's lips involuntarily said : " ... Mommy."
"Yes ... Your mother is here. Now stop fighting and come home with us, okay?"
" ... "
"I know you have a hard time believing in remembering previous experiences. But ... We won't kill you, I swear on the Frost Family."
"So ... I get it."
Upon hearing that, Lux's body slowly calmed down and stopped resisting as she was sure Duchess Olivia would not disavow her remarks, let alone after swearing like that ...
