Chapter 12. Snow Yeti (2)

2.

One of the biggest reasons Mystic Gate gained so much attention was the appearance of rare monsters.

“Beyond the Mystic Gate, rare species that are hard to see, seen only once every few decades, often appear.”

The adventurers were thrilled by that fact.

But the moment I faced the fact directly, it changed.

“That means it’s hell.”

It was rare, hard to see, because that meant that the adventurer’s accumulated experience was meaningless.

The snow yeti did.

“Because even if that huge thing moves, you can’t see it.”

A nightmare you can encounter in a snow hell where it’s not easy to even move, breathe, or endure.

Wow!

Now the snow yeti was screaming.

The reason for the screaming was because of the trap.

The snow yeti’s favorite human corpse, the spear hidden in the snow around where the corpses were piled, and the scream that came from stepping on the spear.

Wow!

That’s why the Snow Yeti’s roar was all the more monstrous.

Because a monster that doesn’t get angry when it sees blood while trying to eat something delicious isn’t a monster.

Wow!

The Snow Yeti then let out his anger and pulled out the spear that had come out of the sole of his foot.

“oh my god.”

Debo, who was watching the scene from a distance, stuck out his tongue.

Because I saw it.

“No, does it make sense that a sword pierced his leg and he recovered so quickly?”

The Snow Yeti’s terrifying resilience, which would normally be fatal to most monsters but is dismissed as nothing more than a scratch.

“You really feel the pain. This is going to be a bigger headache.”

Kiri didn’t miss the point that the Snow Yeti was not insensitive to pain.

That was an important point.

Monsters that were insensitive to pain, like slimes or mushrooms, were actually easier to deal with.

Because nothing changes even if you get hurt.

But monsters that feel pain are different. Whenever they feel pain, they become enraged and go berserk.

If something as big as a snow yeti starts going berserk, there’s nothing more terrifying than that.

The problem was that usually the price for that outrage was injury, but that wasn’t the case with the Snow Yeti.

The meaning is that a clumsy attack will only cause anger to build up.

“You want me to deal with that guy for three minutes?”

And that clumsy attack had to be done by Divo, Kiri, and Ralph.

It was a long time ago.

Just imagining it makes my mind fly.

But no one was willing to back down from that fact.

It wasn’t because there was no fear. No adventurer in that world could be free from fear.

“Well, I guess I just have to trust the boss.”

All I had to do was have faith that I could overcome that fear.

“Move the moment the boss launches his first attack.”

3.

El Palm, his operation was simple.

“Use poison.”

Against the Snow Yeti, which is impervious to physical and magical attacks, he prepared a card called Poison.

“However, poison breath and poison mist attacks don’t work on it easily.”

But just writing it down was meaningless.

“So, after making the venom, you apply it to a shard of the Cold Beam and stab it into the Snow Yeti’s body.”

It would have been meaningless if the poison was injected directly into the body, like with a syringe.

That was why El Palm took out his Cold Beam magic.

Of course, it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.

First of all, the biggest problem was making the poison.

The Poison Breath and Poison Mist skills were skills that created poisonous smoke, as the expression suggests.

Make it poisonous?

But surprisingly, El Palm wasn’t worried.

‘Make a jar with your eyes and collect the poisonous smoke of Poison Breath inside it.’

It may not be usable in normal fields, but in places like now where the cold is intense and covered in snow, there was a way.

‘Mix the blood of Cold Eye into it.’

Mixing the poisonous smoke and the cold, sticky liquid, Cold Eye’s blood, into a cold space.

Of course, the power of the poison that could usually be obtained this way was not that impressive.

‘I’ve had to do this a hundred times.’

That’s why I had to work all day making poison.

El Palm had originally been preparing for that task.

But this time it was different.

‘If the Hydra’s fangs were present, the story would be different.’

The Viper Nir, the Hydra’s Fang, a unique grade item he had.

Because those fangs will double or even make the poison magic used by El Palm more powerful.

“Poison Breath.”

That doesn’t mean El Palm was sloppy.

“Poison Breath.”

Whenever the magic cooldown ends, I repeatedly use Poison Breath to create venom.

Created a stronger poison.

After countless hours of work, I looked into the jar of snow that El Palm had created.

Then it appeared.

‘That’s enough.’

A sticky liquid with a dark green color.

Now, all you had to do was apply this liquid to the cold beam and then insert it directly into the Snow Yeti’s body.

Of course El Palm knew.

‘Just stabbing it in like this won’t work.’

4.

“I don’t think just putting poison in the cold beam will be effective.”

Debo and Kiri did not refute Ralph’s words.

Instead, the two nodded.

They both knew it.

“That guy’s skin and flesh will be incredibly thick, so even if you poison him with a cold beam, it will only stick to the surface.”

No matter how powerful the poison is, it is not easy to achieve the desired effect just by touching the skin surface.

“That guy also has incredible resilience.”

Also, the snow yeti’s skin was not easy to penetrate.

“It is not easy to attack a wound after it has been inflicted.”

It means that even if you get hurt, the wound will heal quickly.

So, focusing on one place wasn’t really an effective method.

That was the moment.

Beep!

The whistle blew once.

It was a signal.

“come.”

A signal from their boss, El Palm.

At that signal, the three of them immediately got into battle stance and headed towards the snow yeti, which was greedily eating the corpse with anger.

‘uh?’

And I could see it.

“One step?”

A single sharp shard of ice flying towards the snow yeti.

Everyone questioned that fact.

As they had said before, it seemed like a single attack would not be enough.

‘What the heck?’

A part that leaves one with doubts.

“No matter what, the moment an attack is launched, we also move.”

But I couldn’t let the doubts linger in my mind any longer.

“As you command.”

Because their leader El Palm said.

The moment the first attack comes in, stick to the snow yeti.

And then he told me to provoke him.

If he gets angry and goes wild, the poison that entered his body will also run wild through his blood vessels.

“Hold him so he doesn’t escape.”

It was crucial to stop the Snow Yeti from escaping. If it had decided to run away, the battle situation could have deteriorated into the worst situation that could have been predicted.

Devo was ready to follow that order.

‘The boss’s orders are absolute.’

The same was true for Kiri.

‘El Palm, now you must follow him to avenge your comrades.’

Because she was ready to do anything to cut off the dark hand that had been cast upon the Knights of Signus.

That’s why the two of them were worried.

“Ralph.”

Because Ralph didn’t have the same beliefs as those two.

“Can you do it?”

So Ralph tilted his head in confusion at Devo’s question and said.

“Shouldn’t I? I have to go out to get paid.”

Those words were ridiculous, but Divo and Kiri were convinced.

‘It’s hard to believe that a money-mad man would say something like that.’

There’s no need to doubt Ralph.

So now that they had confirmed all their resolve, the three turned all their senses toward the Snow Yeti.

And I could see it.

Phew!

The cold beam pierced the Snow Yeti’s left chest, right between his ribs.

‘Not deep… … .’

It was an expected scene.

Phew!

‘uh?’

But everyone looked dumbfounded at the sound they heard next.

I clearly saw one fragment.

But why is there a second sound?

Something incomprehensible.

It had to be that way.

The Cold Beam fragments that El Palm had just fired were two in number, but they still appeared as one because the two Cold Beam fragments were connected as one.

It was one of El Palm’s telekinesis techniques, tail biting.

A technique created to somehow inject poison into the body of a monster whose resilience surpasses common sense.

A skill created to survive in a world where adventurers have become the prey rather than the hunters.

For Devo, Kiri, and Ralph, who had never experienced that world, it was an unimaginable technology.

Of course, there was no need to imagine it.

“Hey, yeti kid!”

There is only one thing they have to do here.

“Here comes the hero of Polarm, Divo!”

Survive 3 minutes against a snow yeti.

Wow!

That’s how the battle began.

Actually, it couldn’t be called a battle.

Wow!

The Snow Yeti was larger than the average Yeti, reaching 5 meters in size. Its size was beyond common sense.

The power was even more immense.

Kkwaduk!

The sound of a thick piece of pure wood snapping in the air as the arm swings.

Wow! Wow!

Above all, the Snow Yeti was intoxicated with rage.

A state where one is only focused on crushing and tearing apart visible enemies, and has no concern for one’s own physical condition.

“Oh, I don’t know!”

The only thing Devo could do against that snow yeti was to run away like a rat.

“Everyone, get back!”

And Debo willingly claimed to be a rat.

“Slash Blust!”

Kwajik!

Divo swung his polearm with all his might towards the Snow Yeti’s leg as if chopping a tree.

Wow!

The Snow Yeti, enraged by the attack, glared at Divo and soon began chasing after Divo alone.

“Come on!”

Here, instead of running away, Devo ran towards the Snow Yeti.

With the polearm out of his hand.

Shhh!

It just slipped through the Snow Yeti’s legs.

And even after coming out on the other side, he didn’t run away.

“Over here, over here!”

He was willing to give the Snow Yeti time to look at him. He waited.

Wow!

Snow Yeti becomes even more furious at that fact.

Divo smiled at that sight.

‘If the attack is meaningless anyway, there’s no reason to do it.’

The ability to smile in a life-or-death situation was the most certain ability that Devo possessed.

Devo was happy to demonstrate that ability against the Snow Yeti.

Wow!

Divo began to perfectly dodge the attacks of the Snow Yeti, which charged at him in anger.

However, the distance between me and the snow yeti was not more than 5 meters.

“It’s here!”

I hovered around the Snow Yeti, eating up his time.

Phew!

While Devo was holding the Snow Yeti back, a fragment of El Palm’s poisonous cold beam pierced the Snow Yeti’s body.

Kiri and Ralph, who were waiting at the scene, were amazed.

Honestly, those two had the lowest evaluation of Devo’s skills.

There was no choice. Before entering the Mystic Gate this time, Kiri was in Circle 2, Ralph was in Circle 3, and Divo was only in Circle 1.

Among the adventurers, Divo also had the shortest career.

It was the same even after opening the 2nd circle. It was impossible for someone who had just opened the 2nd circle to properly utilize its abilities.

It definitely was.

‘The level of talent is different.’

‘I guess I’ll be able to make a lot of money in the future with Debo.’

But what Devo was showing against the Snow Yeti now was something that Kiri and Ralph could not dare to do.

Of course, there were limitations.

‘But my physical strength can’t keep up.’

Now, Divo is using all of his abilities, but his physical strength is not enough to match his abilities.

So naturally, the speed at which stamina was consumed was incomparable to usual.

In particular, the opponent they faced was the Yeti, a monster whose name even veteran adventurers had never heard of.

A monster that will quickly drain your physical strength, concentration, and mental power just by facing it.

“Hoo, hoo.”

As expected, Devo quickly grew tired.

Even though I could only hold out for a minute, it already felt dizzying.

‘Damn, I have to last three minutes.’

What was even more disturbing was that this was only the beginning.

And Divo also knew.

‘It could be longer.’

The thing about battle is that you never know when or what variables will come up.

That was when.

“Divo!”

‘boss?’

El Palm’s voice was heard from a distance.

“Change the operation.”

At those words, Debo thought that his earlier concerns had become reality.

That we may need more time or even have to scrap the operation now.

“boss!”

That’s why Devo spat.

“Just give the orders!”

Be prepared.

“Get out.”

“Boss! I can handle it!”

That’s why Debo didn’t back down from El Palm’s words.

He willingly revealed his unbreakable, iron will.

“Get out. You don’t have to last three minutes.”

“I can handle it.”

El Palm instantly broke Devo’s will.

“No, that guy dies in 30 seconds.”

“What did you say?”

“I’m sorry, I misjudged.”

“yes?”

“I think it will end sooner than I thought.”
