Every time you remove an Icebreaker, 1 essence of Agility drops. All of these essences increase your Agility stat by 1.
As I was dealing with the icebergs that had formed along the stream, I soon realized that I had eaten forty of them.
Thanks to this, my agility stat increased by 40 just from the intermission battle. It was the easiest stat gain in the world.
[The great monarch of the northern snowfields admires your courage, which is not intimidated by the cold of nature.]
[I salute your fighting skills, which do not even give the enemy a chance to attack.]
[The Dark Hunter fiercely criticizes you, calling you a piece of trash who uses cowardly means to satisfy his selfish desires!]
“Anyway, when the mood is good, you have a knack for interfering and breaking the silence.”
Sang-Hyeon smiled bitterly as he looked at the dark hunter who suddenly appeared at the end of the constellation’s praise.
In the past, there were very few constellations that watched, so there was no chance of seeing messages from constellations criticizing.
Since signing the contract with the model student of the waiting room, his messages have always been the first and the last.
Sang-Hyeon asked as a thought suddenly occurred to him.
“Goddess of Fortune. Have you by any chance seen the model student constellation of Daegimanseong after that?”
[The goddess of fortune came to see him again, but after he had left the empty seat village of the dimension group.]
[According to what other constellations around him said, he seemed to have gained some kind of enlightenment and packed up his belongings and set out on the road.]
[However, the world of the constellations emphasizes that nothing can change with enlightenment, and that divine power is very important.]
“I see… … I see.”
For the constellations to convey messages to the upper world in this way requires divine power.
Just opening your mouth won’t be enough to convey words from an infinitely distant dimension all the way to Earth.
The goddess of fortune said that even if she found a model student with longevity, he would not be able to convey the message to Sang-hyeon.
It means an incomplete constellation that has not yet grown.
‘No matter how much I think about it, it’s true that he caused me to regress… … There must be some hidden secret.’
Sang-Hyeon thought so.
There is no result without a reason.
But it seemed like we wouldn’t be able to get an answer right away. It was a problem that would take time.
15 minutes later.
After killing additional groups of large and small icebreakers that appeared here and there to block the path, I arrived at the end of the gate.
It was definitely a short gate.
I hadn’t even moved that far and the section where the boss monster appeared had already appeared.
“Additional 35 Agility stat! You’ve gotten a lot of it just by coming to the gate.”
It felt reassuring to see that his agility had surpassed 400. His body movements had also become noticeably faster.
With my current agility stat, I think I could easily run 100m in 9 seconds without any skill assistance.
Considering the stamina boost, it feels like you can run a 400m sprint in less than 40 seconds without getting tired?
If something like an acceleration skill is added here, then from then on, you will immediately reach the realm of a superhuman.
Meanwhile, Sang-Hyeon pointed to the boss monster in front with its blue wings spread out proudly and spoke.
“It’s you, the leader here.”
[Boss Monster]
[Ice Crow]
Ice crow.
Nicknamed the Ice Crow.
This guy, also known as Bingkka or Bingdak for short, was a monster that could create a strong cold storm by flapping its wings.
It was tricky at first because it caused a slowdown, but as the slowdown accumulated, it changed to instant freezing.
However, since their ability to fly has deteriorated, they cannot fly for long and are characterized by fighting mainly on the ground.
“A muscular bipedal crow.”
This is the exact appearance that fits this description.
It was like putting a crow’s face and wings on a 3m tall bodybuilder.
“If we collide, it’s over.”
The charge skill used by Ice Crow is the Will to Charge. It is also a skill that is inherited when killed.
『Over Psychedelic』
Without further ado, I prepared the Over Psychedelic skill.
The method to defeat Ice Crow itself was simple.
The idea is to break the guy with persistent concentrated attacks while avoiding his cold storm and rush skills.
In the end, like the Icebreaker we fought before, it was a monster in the form of frozen water, so breaking or melting it was the right answer.
『Flame』
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sang-Hyeon finished preparing to fight, painting the entire Greatsword of Fighting Spirit with flames in accordance with Ice Crow’s attributes.
“Shall we begin?”
Kaaaak!
All it took was a few words to provoke the Ice Crow.
* * *
Flutter! Flutter! Flutter!
“Ha, this is so annoying.”
Every time Ice Crow flapped his wings vigorously, Sang-Hyeon’s two legs became stiffer.
It felt like sandbags were gradually filling up my ankles? This was more than just a typical slowdown.
As soon as the slowdown stat reached five, the abnormal status was immediately replaced with another form.
◎ Freezing
◎ 10 seconds.

‘It’s so dirty.’
It was the perfect length of ice to kill someone standing up if you didn’t have a skill to release it.
In 10 seconds, you can tap dance to your heart’s content in front of me and then kill me.
『Recovery』
As soon as he recovered, he was given 5 seconds of absolute immunity. It was a chance to counterattack.
With a brave charge, Sang-Hyeon closed the distance between himself and Ice Crow.
Flutter! Flutter!
Although Jilsera flapped her wings vigorously, she could not stop Sang-Hyeon, who was immune to all status effects.
Caw?
While I was bewildered by Sang-Hyeon’s response, who was not at all tied down, Sang-Hyeon had already arrived right in front of me.
『Knockback Burst』
Taang!
Ice Crow made a clear, crisp sound, like the sound of an aluminum bat hitting a baseball.
Although it was subtle, a gash was visible across the center of Ice Crow’s chest.
That was the fatal weakness of ice-based monsters like the Icebreaker and Ice Claw.
It exposes weaknesses to continuous and strong external shocks. And it is not easy to recover!
The moment Ice Claw, who was blown away by the Knockback Burst, struggled to stand up on the ground.
『Iljin Gwangpung』
Kwaaaaah!
The whirlwind of Iljin Gwangpung that flew in just in time covered Ice Crow again.
Timing calculated like a knife.
It was a single blow that hit straight ahead, right at the moment when he was trying to regain his balance while avoiding the bent knees.
Kkaaaak!
Ice Crow was knocked back again with a crow’s cry that was annoying to hear.
The body that flew defenselessly crashed into the ground head first, causing Ice Crow’s neck to be broken in a deformed way.
It was the knockback variable.
A phenomenon in which a certain part of the body is strongly pushed back rather than being knocked back evenly across the body.
Because of this, even if you knew about the knockback and were hit, most of the time you didn’t know what shape you would be flying in.
Ice Claw, who had little knowledge of knockback, could not be an exception.
Sang-Hyeon, who had been quickly cornering Ice Crow, threw a decisive move that could drive the wedge in first.
『Sword of Crushing』
Chae-ae-aeng!
Kaaaaaaah!
A sharp, one-hit, fatal attack completely shattered the guy’s right wing.
The shattered wings could not return to their original positions.
Kkuak! Kkuaak!
Ice Crow, whose fever was rising, started to rush at Sang-Hyeon with his will skill of rushing.
The Will to Charge is a skill that stimulates your movement speed and defensive ability to increase as the opponent runs away!
So, rather, it should have been blocked early before the rush became prolonged.
『Defensive Sword』
Slurp.
Sang-Hyeon covered his entire body with a protective shield of appropriate thickness.
And then he collided head-on with Ice Crow, who was just starting to charge while kicking.
In terms of cars, it was like a car accident that was deliberately caused when you were about to step on the accelerator and start moving.
Ice Crow’s eyes sparkled red at the skill that was canceled out before he could even see the fun.
Then he flapped his left wing violently. Then, a cold storm was created in an instant and covered Sang-Hyeon.
Seeing that it was being created much faster than before, it seemed like it had entered a berserk state that usually occurs when stamina is low.
Shaaaa.
Sang-Hyeon released it with a quick purge with a 10-minute cooldown.
Recovery was also active, but I didn’t want to utilize the full immunity state right now.
After that, he quickly used his Brave Charge to close the distance between himself and Ice Crow, who had moved slightly away.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Sang-Hyeon started to attack only the guy’s right side.
From Sang-Hyeon’s perspective, it was the wounded area on the left. The part where the wings disappeared and could no longer be defended.
After adding the acceleration skill, I started using all the skills I could hit, starting with Demon Bash.
The guy’s healthy left wing wasn’t of any interest.
When Sang-Hyeon openly stood next to him and persistently struck the same area with his greatsword, his expression turned ashen.
This is because a body that was once broken began to split apart again and again, and the accumulated shock deepened the cracks.
Caaaak!
Ice Crow tried his best to shake off Sang-Hyeon by spinning his body.
However, as the body rotated, the position of the upper body also rotated, and eventually the position returned to the same place.
Unable to bear it any longer, he stretched out his left wing and tried to hit me, but I was able to leisurely escape by taking a back step.
“Will it work? Will it work?”
The attacks continued to be so vicious that it made people want to tell Satan to go away.
If you find a weakness, you will bite it to the end! This is also Sang-Hyeon’s specialty that he has honed for a long time.
Meanwhile, the cooldown for reuse returned and the weakness enhancement was activated again, marking the peak of the attack.
『Recovery』
First, I installed recovery.
It was to utilize the 5 seconds of complete immunity.
Caw! Caw!
As expected, as soon as the recovery was launched, Ice Crow swung one of his wings fiercely, creating a cold storm.
However, Sang-Hyeon, who was already completely immune, was not affected by even the slightest slowdown.
In the midst of all this fear, Sang-Hyeon’s plan was immediately revealed.
『Whispers of the Wise』
『Full charging』
It was a short charge and digging attack with the Whisper of the Sage added on, but its power was enormous.
Above all, the cracks in the Ice Claw that were created by Sang-Hyeon’s persistence in hitting only the exact same spot were serious.
Phew!
Whaaaaaah… … !
As soon as the full charge struck, a cracking sound was heard across Ice Crow’s body.
Ice Crow’s expression changed as if time had stopped.
Two large cracks started on the right wing, one extending deep into the neck and one into the abdomen.
“Let’s finish it, now!”
『Knockback Burst』
Magpie chichi ching!
The final blow, which was struck coolly with a knockback burst, marked the end of the Ice Crow, which had been in high spirits.
It was a complete victory for Sang-Hyeon, who consistently targeted the monster’s innate limitations and weaknesses without overthinking.
I went up two levels at once, from 118 to 120.
[Defeated the boss monster Ice Crow and inherited the skill of Will to Charge.]
At the same time, without a separate process, the skill of will to charge was learned directly from Sang-Hyeon.
This is called a ‘succession skill’ and it was not common.
Since the skill was passed on directly from the dead boss monster, there was no separate delay.
Thud.
“eye.”
Sang-Hyeon looked at Ice Crow’s eyeball that had landed right in front of his feet.
The eyes, which were the size of a person’s fist, were creepy to look at, but they were quite valuable.
Because this is a unique grade artifact that this guy has been looking forward to obtaining since before he came to the gate.
Eating it is the best way to upgrade your specs, as it will definitely allow you to inherit hidden skills!
“I can’t stand this.”
Sang-Hyeon was drooling.
In order to acquire the hidden skill, this artifact had to be consumed, no matter the reason. Absolutely.
