93. King of the Snowy Mountain
Kugugugung!
Before I could even panic, another roar echoed. Something was slamming into Angelus’s temple.
“Ian!”
Drew, who had been outside, rushed in, panting.
“O-Outside, there’s something huge and white!”
The guy was so flustered he couldn’t even speak properly.
‘Huge and white, huh…’
[A Yeti, maybe?]
That simple description was enough to identify it. This was the Hepta Zone, where Yetis lived.
“Angel, didn’t you say this temple’s energy was concealed?”
The temple that Angelus himself had supposedly cast a spell on to avoid the Yetis’ notice.
“It seems they noticed because of the magic used here just now.”
“That could be it. The energy of black magic is quite foreign…”
It seemed this place, which had been well hidden, had been exposed to them.
“…But didn’t you say the Yetis would run away if they smelled our aura?”
Admun raised a question. That was the only question I had as well.
“Let’s go out and see what’s going on.”
After all, staying here wouldn’t help; the temple wouldn’t last long.
Kugugugung!
The temple shook as if it would collapse at any moment from the repeated attacks.
Tududuk…….
Stone dust began to fall from the temple ceiling.
What came into view as we went straight to the entrance was.
‘Hmm.’
A humanoid monster covered in white fur.
“That’s a Yeti.”
Admun observed the creature relatively calmly.
“Heo…”
“Oh, my!”
Angel and Aries, who could be called veterans, were even more flustered.
“It’s twice the size of the others.”
“What kind of Yeti is that big? I’ve never seen one like that in the year I’ve lived here!”
Those who had experienced Yetis realized that this one was no ordinary being.
Normal Yetis were about twice the size of humans.
“Kuaaaaa!”
But the one in front of us now was twice as big as those Yetis.
‘That was him.’
Only then did I nod. The being that had approached without running away from our aura.
“That’s the master of the Hepta Zone.”
The Snow King, called the king of all Yetis.
“The master of the Hepta Zone, you say…”
Angel let out a low sigh, and.
“S-Snow King? Why is he here? This is the entrance to the Hepta Zone!”
Aries was in a panic. They knew about the existence of the Snow King.
“Young master, I think it’s best to run. I can’t handle him with my power.”
Angel was about to move quickly, but.
“I think it’s too late.”
The Snow King in my sight. He had stopped attacking the temple and was.
“Kueua……?”
Looking at us.
“It’s impossible to shake him off in the snowy mountains.”
The guy had agility that didn’t match his huge size. Moreover, we would inevitably be restricted in our movements because it was the snowy mountain.
[Are you going to fight? Even Angel can’t beat him, what are you going to do?]
‘I need to find a way first.’
At that moment, a wailing sound came from behind.
“Oh, no! I’m going to die! What about my bright future!”
Aries had already moved to the back of the group, looking like she was about to die.
“Aries, how many more Undead Traps are left here?”
Surely, she would have prepared various devices to prepare for the Yetis.
“Traps?”
But her answer made me frown.
“There are about 10 more zombies and skeletons left.”
It was too shabby of an undead army.
“You were guarding this place with just that?”
“There was no need to guard it… As you said earlier, Yetis didn’t come near here.”
She was clearly benefiting from the blind magic that Angelus had prepared.
“Then, isn’t there anything you can do? Angel and I will buy some time.”
But it was too early to give up. Her abilities were still unknown. Maybe she had the ability to fight or shake off the Snow King.
“Hmm…….”
She pondered for a moment.
“Nope?”
The words she shouted so brightly made our faces stiff.
“I gave you the Black Magic Book earlier. Summon a stronger undead from it!”
“Ah! That’s right! I can finally use it! Leave it to me!”
She answered so cheerfully, but.
“Kuaaaaa!”
The situation that was imminent was not. The Snow King was already taking steps towards us. He seemed angry and was pounding his chest with both fists.
“Angel! We’ll buy some time first!”
“Understood!”
“Drew and Admun, stay out of the way for a moment!”
“O-Okay!”
“Be careful!”
In the end, we faced the Snow King. With each step he took, the sense of oppression was amplified.
Kugugugu…….
Something that soared from the ground in opposition to such a guy.
Hwareuk!
It was a Sand Spear that was blazing.
Angel took out a strong hand from the beginning, as the opponent was the opponent. Three burning spears floated around his body.
“Kua!”
The Snow King was even more excited by the sight. His feet fell even faster.
Kung! Kung!
To the guy who was rushing in with the momentum to shake the snowy mountains.
Huuuuung!
Angel’s Sand Spear flew.
Despite being a fast-moving guy, the attack accurately aimed only at the vitals. Two spears aimed at the temples of the guy from both sides. The remaining one spear was heading towards the guy’s abdomen with a slight time difference.
It was about the time when the two Sand Spears that flew first reached the guy’s forehead.
The Snow King’s head that was there disappeared in an instant.
Huuuuung!
The Sand Spear was only cutting through the innocent air.
As if he had teleported, he quickly ducked his head and avoided it.
‘It won’t work with this much, huh?’
The Snow King boasted a martial power comparable to a 9-star knight with only his strong body and movements. He was not an opponent who would be easily defeated.
Kwaaaaa……!
However, there was one more spear that was sent with a time difference. The Sand Spear that flew towards the guy who ducked his head. The attack that reached right in front of his eyes seemed to pierce the guy’s forehead.
“Kuaaaa!”
However, as if he had expected that as well, the guy stretched out his right hand without panicking. It was an amazing reaction speed.
The guy’s right hand was snatching the Sand Spear in an instant. He grabbed only the spear shaft accurately, excluding the burning blade part.
“……Oh, no!”
Angel was also embarrassed. It was the first time that his magic had been blocked in this way.
Shuuuuuk…….
The Sand Spear was scattering into sand, held in the guy’s grasp.
“Still, it was a good attempt.”
The Yetis extremely hated fire-type magic. It was a good decision to fly a burning Sand Spear.
“Kueu…….”
Of course, the Snow King grabbed even that.
‘How fast is his dynamic visual acuity that such movements come out?’
[You can’t think about it in the realm of humans. That guy is, after all, a monster.]
‘Can we withstand him now?’
I spoke to Angel as if I was calm, but I was also uneasy. I couldn’t even catch his movements. It was as if the guy’s hand teleported in my eyes.
“I-I found it!”
At that moment, an excited woman’s voice was heard from behind.
“What?”
When I turned my head, Aries was turning the pages of the book with a moved expression.
“The way to catch that guy! We can definitely win with this! Just hold on a little longer!”
“How long will it take!”
“5 minutes! If you give me 5 minutes, I’ll try!”
There was no time to ask what the method was.
“Kuaaaaa!”
The Snow King was approaching even faster, as if he was angry that he had been attacked.
‘5 minutes…….’
Since Aries had contracted to cooperate for me, she wouldn’t have lied.
“Okay. Let’s give it a try.”
Facing the rushing Snow King, I grabbed the sword hilt.
Angel also moved his body immediately.
Tudududuk!
A wall of earth soared in front of the Snow King. The Ground Fence that Angel had unfolded blocked the Snow King.
“Kuaaa!”
The Snow King wildly swung his fist at the suddenly appearing barrier.
Kugugugung!
Half of the fence flew away as if it had exploded with one punch. Even 7-star defense magic was simply buying time in front of him.
“Where did such an ignorant guy come from!”
Angel, embarrassed, chanted the next magic in succession, and.
‘I can’t just wait.’
I quickly gathered Aura to the tip of my toes.
Tat!
The moment that the Ground Fence had created. I couldn’t miss it.
Wuuuung!
The Aura that dyed the sword at the same time as the movement. The yellow Aura that seemed to cut anything was aimed at the Snow King.
Kugugung!
The explosion that was heard soon after. It was the Snow King who had stretched out his next fist. With that, the Ground Fence was shattered.
“Kuaaaa!”
The guy roared again, pounding his chest. The guy’s gaze was fixed on Angel. He couldn’t help but be annoyed by him who kept interfering with him.
‘That’s right! Keep looking at that side.’
It was too good of an environment to go around to the back and approach him.
Hwaaaaaaa!
Angel, who had noticed my intention, was flying fireballs towards the guy’s eyes. He wouldn’t be able to inflict direct damage, but.
“Kueua!”
The guy who hated fire would have no choice but to cover his eyes.
[Nice! Angel!]
Because he was distracted by the fireballs that were flying non-stop. It wasn’t that difficult to reach near him.
‘First, the ankle tendons!’
No matter how fraudulent the guy’s physical abilities were, it would only work when there was mobility.
If I cut off one Achilles tendon, I would be able to restrict his actions.
As soon as I made a decision, the action was fast. Pragarach, with a thick Aura, was heading towards the guy’s Achilles tendon.
‘I can’t kill him with this, but……!’
I would be able to lead the remaining 5 minutes or so much more easily. I put strength into my grip without realizing it.
Huuuuung!
It was as if time was flowing slowly. The sword that was going sideways was reflected in my vision like a slow motion.
Kaaang!
In the end, Pragarach accurately touched the guy’s tendon.
‘Kaaang?’
However, the sensation that was transmitted to my hand made my spine feel cold. It wasn’t a sensation that something was being cut.
[How strong is this guy!]
Even Pragarach, which contained Aura, could not penetrate the guy’s skin and bounced out.
The sensation of my hand tingling. However, the shock that came even greater than that was.
‘Was I only at this level yet!’
The fact that I couldn’t even make a scratch on him with my level.
[Focus!]
However, there was no time to fall into such thoughts.
‘I know.’
Just because he wasn’t injured didn’t mean that he didn’t recognize my attack.
“Kueu……!”
A low voice full of anger was transmitted to my ear, and the guy’s gaze was also directed at me.
Now, the guy turned his body towards me without even paying attention to Angel’s fireballs.
“Kuaaaa!”
The heavy fist was raised towards me.
‘……!’
The guy’s huge fist was filling my vision.
