Chapter 103
Is it possible to use that as a real weapon?
Surprisingly, the answer was yes.
Woo-woo-!
Undoubtedly, Mr. Bear loaded the crossbow with arrows skillfully, aimed accurately at the head, and fired.
However
…
The Yeti blocked the arrow with both hands and escaped instant death.
Of course, it was only to the extent that he literally escaped instant death.
Both hands skewered by a single arrow.
The Yeti screamed and gave strength, but the arrow did not come out.
I don’t think the arrow was particularly special.
‘Could it be a [hook arrow]?’
There is a suspicious skill, but it is not certain.
It’s not something to think about right now.
[Kikiiik!!]
The gigantic yeti stomping and running.
Since both hands were sealed, it didn’t look particularly threatening.
But what is this?
“You guys do the rest.”
Mr. Bear hung the crossbow on his back again as if he had finished his task.
One more arrow would have been enough, but it would be fair to say that this meant that he did not want to do free labor.
‘Is it because you’re an explorer? Calculations are like real knives.’
I, too, ran out holding a shield so that there would be no objection to the future distribution.
“…What is that!”
I heard Carlson freaking out.
Even a barbarian would have seemed impossible to stop such a monster from the front.
But that’s when you’re a bare barbarian.
Build a wall with your shield to block the Yeti’s charge.
Kwaaang-!
A heavy shock was applied, but that’s about it.
After eating the Orc Hero Essence, there was almost no reason to be pushed out of power. Besides, the Yeti is only about 1m taller than me.
“The character takes cold damage from [Chill].”
My bones are cold, but not painful enough.
“Michelle!”
“Oh yeah!”
When I shouted, Misha, who had been riding for a while, stepped on my shoulder and leaped.
And now, with the sword that I have mastered,
Fuuk!
I poked both of Yeti’s eyelids from bottom to top at the same time.
Since it was not the dagger he had used in the past, the sharp blade was enough to penetrate the Yeti’s brain.
coo-!
Soon after, the Yeti collapsed to the floor with a heavy noise and disappeared as a light.
“You have killed the Yeti. EXP +3」
Unfortunately, the integer didn’t come out.
If it came out, I would have fed it to Misha right away.
‘It’s a bad start.’
Now, there were only five of them, excluding the guardians, who had enough essence to feed Misha.
“Huh? Why are you looking at me with that expression? Did I do something wrong?”
…will you bring me one?
***
“Are you two breathing well?”
After a brief appreciation of Mr. Bear, we resumed our movement. Enter the ice cave and move according to the formation and defeat the 9th grade monster ‘Frost Wolf’ countless times.
That’s right, this section is all of them.
「You have defeated the Frost Wolf. EXP +1”
Anyway, Misha and I worked hard here.
Well, Mr. Bear also killed the wolf with a crossbow, but…
it wasn’t good enough compared to Misha or me.
‘Are you the type that counts one shot but doesn’t have wide range deals?’
As I wandered through the cave, analyzing Mr. Bear step by step, the first chapter was over.
By the way, it only took 6 hours to get here.
I had to wander a lot.
‘…He doesn’t appear here either.’
In fact, it was a chapter that I could have covered in an hour if I had started in earnest. That’s because the topography was the same as the dungeon in the Bloody Citadel.
‘Left, left, right, left, 7 consecutive straight left…….’
Pillars that appear at regular intervals.
If you want to find your way through this, it was easy to find.
But I didn’t do that on purpose.
‘A guy who knows how to open cracks wouldn’t have failed to memorize this easy pattern.’
I guess it’s one of the two.
Was the mafia not a player?
Or were you pretending not to know?
‘Well, if I keep watching, someday I’ll find a gap.’
Anyway, the second chapter continued like that.
“It’s a strange cave…”
I climbed the ice stairs that appeared at the end of the cave and headed further underground. During this process, I carefully observed the actions of the party.
There’s a hidden piece here.
It’s not a big deal, but if you break the third pillar, you’ll get an elixir. An item that increases cold resistance only once when consumed.
‘Don’t bring this too…….’
Even though I passed the point and came down to the end of the stairs, no one behaved strangely.
‘Well, I know, but I wouldn’t do something so obvious. I can come and take it by myself later when it’s all over.’
I decided not to underestimate my opponent hastily.
Traditionally, the stronger the enemy is assumed, the better, isn’t it?
Well at least I did
“It looks like it came down a lot, but it’s surprisingly bright.”
Carlson muttered behind me.
I had a similar feeling.
The ice walls radiate white light as if the entire cave was made of transparent glass.
“Something is pretty.”
“Yeah right? I thought so too.”
“Oh, but what is that?”
Zensia, who was having a conversation with Misha on a topic that was difficult to relate to, pointed to one place.
A huge cavity that you come down the stairs and face.
At first glance, the conspicuous totem was shining in the center of the presence.
“Ah! I touched it and it glowed.”
“It could be dangerous, so step back.”
“Ah yes!”
Zensia, who is restless that she may have done something wrong. Mr. Bear laughed.
“What are you playing with? I think that’s the key anyway.”
“A key?”
“Well, a few monsters will come out and then the road will open.”
This time, Mr. Bear shows a gamer-like way of thinking.
Actually, what he said is not wrong.
There are a few things that need to be corrected.
「The tyrant who has been sealed for a long time is awakening.」
In this chapter, instead of a few monsters, the final boss appears.
Of course, I pour out the trash mobs before that.
Deed deed deed.
The entire space vibrated and started pouring out ice powder. And before long, a howl that pierced the eardrums resounded all over the place.
[Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
roar that is not inferior at all to a hierarchical lord as much as it is intimidating.
「The ancient witches who sensed the existence of the tyrant wake up from their long slumber.」
Clink!
Soon, the ice walls that surrounded it peeled off layer by layer and began to spit out monsters.
“Grrrr…….”
The Witchbeasts, who seem to have no strength from being freshly thawed, slowly stand up.
“What should I do?”
“I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
Mr. Bear’s cool murmur. Anyway, I placed the order.
“Let’s go to the stairs. There are no walls there.”
“Yeah, I’d love to.”
Mr. Bear also agreed with me.
And the battle began.
In the first wave, about 20 frost wolves appeared, and from the second wave, 8th grade monsters also appeared little by little.
[Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag-!]
The saber tiger and worm stone that have already finished supplying experience points in the beast’s den, and the ice golem that only appears here.
“For some reason, I feel like my body isn’t moving well…!”
“Oh, wasn’t it just me?”
As time goes on, he sprays a slowing aura that overlaps, so he smashes it with a visible mace.
「You have defeated the Ice Golem. EXP +2」
Since it was a rift that Misha and I both prepared to clear in the first place, there was nothing too dangerous.
Well, ‘Jensen’ would have had to risk his life.
Still, there is something that can be sorted out before the next wave starts.
‘Once you start pushing back, there’s no answer, but if it’s the other way around, it’s a decent chapter.’
The ninth wave reached in about 30 minutes.
Here, the Yeti appeared once more.
Of course, it was completely different from when we first met.
At that time, if it was just a gatekeeper level, should I say that it will be a mid-boss level this time?
[Kooooo-!!]
The Yeti appeared with the lower level monsters.
That alone raises the difficulty several times, and this one is a ‘higher variant’.
Simply put, it means name.
For reference, the named have higher intelligence, individual names, and a unique history…
「Katoomba, the lord of the snowfield, cast [Suppression].」
There is a feature that uses the supernatural abilities of other entities for the subject of monsters. .
“Kuhhh! What the heck! Why did my body just…”
The Yeti’s additional skill is Stone Golem’s [Suppression].
It’s the same thing I’ve been hit by marauders before.
The law of destruction is simple.
“Keuk! This time again…! Everyone be careful! That guy over there is using something weird… Kkeuk!”
Like Carlson over there, every time I stop, I get hit by a bunch of mobs around me.
“Ugh.”
Or, as I told you beforehand, like Misha, I would chew my tongue and keep bleeding.
Or else…….
「The character’s exorcism is above a certain level.」
「It resists the effect perfectly.」
I got the exorcism stat.
[Suppression] is one of the easiest to destroy as it has the fraudulent ability of temporarily ‘impossible to act’.
Well, it’s probably a level 8 monster.
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
After using [Wild Eruption] to raise the aggro level, he ran forward.
‘Jensen’ is almost half dead anyway.
If I don’t get rid of him before the next wave, I’ll be in trouble too.
“The character takes cold damage from [chill].”
As I stood in the center, the Yeti… so her name was Katoomba?
Anyway, starting with this kid, all sorts of junk mobs started to cling to it.
But I only focused on Katoomba.
That’s right, the 9th and 8th grade monsters have to ask and try again, but now it only tickles…
“What if I go like that again alone!”
Misha, whose pronunciation became more slurred as she chewed her tongue, immediately followed me and was clearing out the surrounding mobs.
It’s like a sword dance with twin swords.
「Katoomba, the lord of the snow field, cast [Frozen Eruption].」
Maybe it was because I was distracted for a moment?
I couldn’t avoid or block the blizzard it spewed out.
The lack of cold resistance made my skin sore, but…
‘The rest is fine.’
Since the body is reproduced in real time, it seems that it has not reached the [Frostbite] judgment. I fought even more aggressively with the Yeti.
It was then.
“If you don’t want to die, jump out quickly.”
Mr. Bear recited so that I could hear it and
said, “Abman Urijkfried has cast [Enhance]
. ”
Substance] has been cast.」
For some reason, my instinct said.
Let’s listen to that old man’s warning.
Tadat.
It was the moment when I pushed off the ground and opened up the distance behind me.
Whoa-!
An arrow was shot.
And…….
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!!
As soon as it hit the Yeti’s head, it exploded spitting out flames.
The radius is about 3m.
Compared to the wide-area magic Raven used, it can’t be said to be very wide, but…
“What kind of arrow is that?!”
All monsters within the radius are dead.
Therefore, I modified the information about Mr. Bear that I had been collecting little by little.
I thought it was a single-type super-dealer…….
「Bonus for defeating high-ranking variants. EXP +1」
Damn you were there.
wide range.
***
Mr. Bear’s wide range skill.
In fact, I’m not sure if that’s a wide-area machine, anyway.
Thanks to his full power, the ninth wave ended easily.
And thanks to that…
“That’s the essence!”
I had time to settle a little earlier.
It’s a magic stone, you can pick it up later, but it’s not an essence, right?
“It’s good to see two coming out at once.”
Mr. Bear did not show much interest in the essence.
Would you like to just share?
I felt the same way.
At least half way.
“You two take care of the red one over there.”
I’m not interested in the essence of a guy who doesn’t know if it’s a frost wolf or a saber tiger.
But…
“We’ll have this instead.”
A blue essence floating in the place where the Yeti last stood while alive.
Carlson asked, stuttering.
“Could that be the essence of the Yeti?”
“So, do you have any complaints?”
“It can’t be. No.”
As if to shake off his greed, Carlson shook his hand excessively and stepped back.
It was a bit of a pity, but…….
Well, if you feel unfair, you have to be strong, right?
The power is invincible and it is a new world.
“Then no problem.”
Soon I called Misha.
But could he have misunderstood something?
“Congratulations Bjorn. You’ll get stronger!”
“What do you mean? This is yours.”
“Huh? You’re giving this to me…?”
Misha, who threw words of congratulations with a sincere expression, stiffened.
And carefully ask questions.
“It’s not that I don’t like it, but rather, I really want it… I’m just asking just in case, so I shouldn’t misunderstand, should I?”
“Try it.”
“…How much do you have to pay for this?”
Why does he think of me as a vicious boss?
