Chapter 47. The Witch of the Snowy Mountain (1)
One.
The witch of the snowy mountain.
“What does the witch of the snowy mountain look like?”
The monster’s external features were so well-known that any adventurer would recognize it.
“It looks like the witch is sealed in a giant block of ice. And the ice is sealed again with iron chains.”
It was also so special that it could never be confused with any other monster.
“It is unknown whether the witch was truly sealed, or whether the cold, bitter cold transformed her into a monster.”
It is not known why it has such an appearance.
In any case, the Witch of the Snow Mountain had a presence so clear that you could tell she was the Witch of the Snow Mountain the moment you saw her.
That’s why.
“She’s the witch of the snowy mountain!”
Even in the midst of the blizzard and El Palm Party’s offensive, the outlaws were able to recognize the Witch of the Snowy Mountain.
“oh my god.”
And the moment they realized it, everyone was surprised.
I knew there was a witch in the snowy mountains here, but I never thought she would show up at this moment.
Above all, no adventurer or outlaw had ever seen the Witch of the Snowy Mountain in person.
There was no way that could happen.
In the history of adventurers in Maple World, there were only a handful of people who saw the Witch of the Snowy Mountain and returned alive.
Because most of them turned into cold ice statues the moment they saw them.
“Crazy, that’s coming out?”
And among those who were so surprised were the party of El Palm, including Divo.
They also had no idea that the witch of the snowy mountain would appear.
Of course, it wasn’t just the appearance itself that surprised me.
“Has anyone else felt it more?”
“I didn’t feel it. Ralph, you?”
“I only found out about its existence after it appeared.”
No one sensed the appearance of the witch of the snowy mountain.
That was nonsense.
First of all, the Witch of the Snowy Mountain was quite large. The ice chunk was larger than a big bear.
If we exaggerate a bit, we could say it’s the size of an elephant!
Also, the witch of the snowy mountain was not the type of monster that could be mistaken for something else.
An entity that can’t be missed even if it appears from far away.
But the Outlaw Party, as well as the El Palm Party, only noticed its presence after it appeared within striking distance of the Outlaw Party.
Something that can’t help but be surprising.
“As expected.”
“yes?”
Of course, El Palm was an exception.
“Boss, is it as expected?”
“The Witch of the Snow Mountain has no physical form. She only reveals her existence when necessary.”
El Palm knew very well what kind of monster the Witch of the Snowy Mountain was.
That was why.
“That’s why we need bait.”
“Bait?”
“The Witch of the Snow Mountain is not something you can find by searching for it. You just have to lure her out by throwing out bait.”
El Palm, why did he just leave the outlaws here covered in wounds instead of killing them?
“Boss, were you planning to use the outlaws as bait?”
Debo, surprised by El Palm’s words, asked a question, and El Palm narrowed his eyes and answered.
“Is there any other reason not to kill him?”
“No, that’s, that’s… … .”
Debo looked puzzled by the question.
“Wasn’t it just revenge?”
Debo thought that El Palm’s actions against the outlaws were simply a way of avenging them by not killing them.
It wasn’t just Divo that was like that.
“That’s right, isn’t it revenge?”
“Wasn’t it an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?”
The rest of them thought the same thing.
El Palm, he thought, would judge the outlaws who used human lives as bait for their own gain in the same way.
I thought it was some kind of revenge.
“There is no reason to seek revenge.”
But El Palm had no intention of taking revenge on the outlaws.
Aside from his quest for revenge, El Palm had little personal feelings for the outlaws.
I never felt any sense of betrayal towards the outlaws.
There was no way I could feel it.
“There was no reason to feel betrayed by the outlaws in the first place.”

Betrayal is something that happens when you trust someone.
El Palm had never trusted the outlaws, or had any expectations of them.
Moreover, the outlaws here were not just any outlaws.
They were the outlaws chosen by El Palm.
Those who deserve to die.
“We were just trying to use each other.”
That’s why El Palm didn’t attach much significance to the current situation.
“This time it just worked out to my advantage.”
Anyway, things went the way El Palm wanted.
He used the outlaws as bait, and the witch of the snowy mountain took the bait.
So now there’s only one thing left.
“Eliminate the witch of the snowy mountain.”
That was the moment when those words ended.
Taang!
Miner, her gun fired, and the bullets it fired hit the witch of the snowy mountain.
Teeing!
“shit.”
And the bullet lightly embedded itself in the solid block of ice of the Witch of the Snow Mountain.
“There’s not even a scratch.”
It’s at a level that doesn’t even make a dent in human skin.
But rather than being surprised by that fact, Miner clicked his tongue.
“It’s exactly as the story says.”
One of the scary things about the Witch of the Snow Mountain was her defensive power.
Because the ice chunk that made up the Witch of the Snowy Mountain was not just any ordinary ice chunk, it was a chunk of ice as hard as steel.
“They say even magic doesn’t work.”
That firmness was effective even in the face of magic.
That’s why the witch of the snowy mountain exists as a fear.
If it were just a simple matter of turning adventurers it encounters into frozen statues, it would never have reigned in fear in the lawless El Nath Mountains.
Of course, there was a way to catch it.
It was as hard as steel, but not so hard that it would never break.
Miner’s bullet was immediately lodged.
This means that if you keep attacking it, it will eventually break.
“It’ll probably take a month to catch him, right?”
It just takes a long time.
“Okay.”
El Palm wasn’t particularly worried about that.
“I can finish it before the bait disappears.”
2.
Espa.
“She’s the witch of the snowy mountain!”
The moment she heard those words, she screamed.
“Everyone, pay attention!”
Loudly.
Loud enough for all the outlaws to hear, even through the blizzard.
“Buy time against the Witch of the Snowy Mountain!”
And at those words that followed, the faces of the outlaws hardened.
Some people hurled profanity.
“You crazy bitch!”
It was worth it.
“I want to live alone!”
In the current situation, Espa’s words could not help but sound like he was using his colleagues and subordinates as bait to survive on his own.
Because it just sounded like dog whining.
But Ispa, who gave that order, was smiling.
Of course, it wasn’t a good laugh. It couldn’t be.
The situation is that none of her colleagues have even one limb intact.
None of the outlaws who joined hands with her were unharmed either.
Espa herself had also lost her left arm.
It was impossible to even attempt a battle, let alone win against the Witch of the Snow Mountain.
Still, the reason she smiled was simple.
“Purchase El Palm Party while buying time from the Witch of Snow Mountain!”
And the moment she gave that order, some of the outlaws smiled.
“It’s okay if we can’t kill them. All we have to do is buy them time so they can’t escape properly!”
Okay, I got it.
“Everyone dies here.”
Espa, the order she gave now is not an order to live alone, but an order to die together.
That’s why Espa laughed.
“El Palm!”
El Palm Party also cannot escape death from the witch of this snowy mountain.
It wasn’t some vague curse or something.
The reason the Witch of the Snow Mountain was scary was because she was different from simple monsters in many ways.
In particular, the witch of Seolsan never missed a target she had set her sights on.
It was one of the reasons why the lawless people of the Elnas Mountains feared the cold plains.
The witch of the snowy mountain is like an unavoidable disaster the moment you encounter it.
Of course, there was nothing absolute in the world.
If you’re lucky, you might be able to escape.
That’s why.
“I will stop the witch of the snowy mountain first!”
She willingly sacrificed herself.
To make the possibility of El Palm Party escaping even smaller, that tiny possibility even smaller.
The outlaws responded to her will more than expected.
“Let me help you.”
The teeth immediately agreed with Espa’s will.
It was something difficult for adventurers to understand with their common sense.
It was common sense for adventurers to try something different in order to survive this moment.
In other words, that’s why they were outlaws.
Outlaws were people who would trample on the lives and sorrows of others for their own gain.
That is why they were the ones who took the most brutal revenge on those who threatened their own interests and lives.
Now it was the latter.
The outlaws thought.
“El Palm, let’s get revenge on him!”
Let’s make El Palm Party, who brought them to hell, experience the same hell.
The malice and hostility of such outlaws spread faster than expected.
Not everyone.
“You crazy kids!”
“Run away! Nothing good will come from getting involved with those guys!”
Some outlaws chose to run away while the men were acting crazy rather than join in on the madness.
But there were literally only a few.
Most of them willingly joined Ispa’s plan.
Kaang!
Espa repeatedly attacked the Witch of the Snowy Mountain, swinging her left right arm with both hands.
Kaang!
Of course, I knew that the attack wasn’t working properly.
He also knew very well that all he could do was to make a fuss.
But it didn’t matter.
‘I’m wasting time.’
All she wanted was to buy time from the Witch of Snow Mountain, so that other outlaws could be willing to take revenge on El Palm Party.
‘El Palm.’
In other words, she was sure.
‘I didn’t know the witch of the snowy mountain would appear.’
The current situation is something that even El Palm could not have predicted.
‘Your ridiculous revenge drama will strangle you.’
That he would pay the price for not being able to kill Ispa and other outlaws as revenge for being used as bait.
And the idea was sound.
‘No matter how great your magic is, you won’t be able to inflict any proper damage on the Witch of the Snowy Mountain.’
There was absolutely no way that the El Palm Party could catch the Witch of the Snow Mountain on their own.
No, it wasn’t just El Palm Party.
It would be impossible to catch the Witch of the Snowy Mountain even if all the adventurers from the 5th Circle were brought to the world.
As expected of a 400-person Mystic Gate, most people who enter must be prepared to make sacrifices.
Shhh!
Espa smiled at that fact.
It was evidence that she was enjoying this moment.
And that fact woke her up.
Kaang!
She showed amazing moves against the witch of the snowy mountain.
He showed skills that were better than what he usually showed.
The moment she was ready to die, the powers that had been blocked by her wall began to bloom once again.
Phew!
‘come.’
She even dodged the magic of the Snow Mountain Witch, which emitted pure white smoke from her mouth and turned anyone who touched it into an ice statue.
That was nonsense.
It was literally acting.
Smoke that has no form whatsoever.
But you’re avoiding it while fighting at close range, not from a great distance?
It was clear.
It was clear that the now awakened Espa would show a similar level of skill if she were to fight again with Divo, who had caused her despair.
“Woooooo!”
The outlaws cheered at her activities.
It would be strange if they didn’t marvel at their leader’s outrageous abilities.
And there was one more person who exclaimed in admiration.
‘That’s interesting.’
El Palm, he was impressed by Ispa’s abilities, which were better than he had expected.
I was happy at the same time.
‘It’s going to be easier than I thought.’
El Palm, all he needed was time.
“Twinkle Flash.”
The time when the arrow of light can destroy the witch’s magic stone in the snowy mountain.
