Chapter 37. Snow Yeti (2)
2.
One of the biggest reasons why Mystic Gate gained so much attention was the appearance of rare monsters.
“Rare species that are rarely seen, maybe once in a few decades, appear frequently beyond the Mystic Gate.”
The adventurers were excited about that fact.
But the mont they faced that fact directly, things were different.
“That’s what hell ans.”
Rare, hard to see, that ant that the experience that adventurers had accumulated so far was aningless.
The Snow Yeti was like that.
“Because we can’t even see that huge bastard move.”
A nightmare-like creature to face in the snow hell where it’s not easy to move or even breathe.
Krrrraaaa!
The Snow Yeti was roaring now.
The reason for the roar was the trap.
The Snow Yeti’s favorite human corpse, a spear hidden in the snow around the place where the corpse was piled up, a monster that roared when it stepped on the spear.
Krrrraaaa!
That’s why the Snow Yeti’s roar was even louder.
A monster that doesn’t get angry when it sees blood when it tries to eat sothing delicious is not a monster.
Krrrraaaa!
The Snow Yeti roared in anger and pulled out the spear that had pierced the sole of its foot.
“Oh my god.”
Dibo, who was watching the scene from a distance, stuck out his tongue.
He saw it.
“No, how can it heal so quickly when a spear pierces its foot?”
The Snow Yeti’s terrifying healing power, which treated a wound that would be fatal to most monsters as a re scratch.
“It seems to be feeling the pain properly. It’s going to be even more of a headache.”
Kiri didn’t miss the fact that the Snow Yeti wasn’t immune to pain.
It was an important point.
Monsters that were immune to pain, like slis or mushrooms, were actually easier to deal with.
Because even if they were injured, nothing changed.
But monsters that felt pain were different. Every ti they felt pain, they beca angry and rampaged.
If a monster like the Snow Yeti started to rampage, there was nothing more horrible.
The problem was that the price of that rampage was usually injury, but the Snow Yeti wasn’t like that.
It ant that weak attacks would only make it angry.
“Hold him off for 3 minutes.”
And Dibo, Kiri, and Ralph had to do that weak attack.
It was an absurd task.
Just imagining it was enough to make their minds go blank.
But no one was about to back down from that fact.
It wasn’t because they were not afraid. No adventurer in the world could be free from fear.
“Well, we just have to trust the boss.”
They just had the faith to overco that fear.
“The mont the boss launches the first attack, it will move.”
3.
El Pau’s plan was simple.
“I’ll use poison.”
Against the Snow Yeti, which was impervious to physical and magical attacks, he had prepared the card of poison.
“But Poison Breath and Poison Mist attacks don’t work easily on it.”
But just using them was aningless.
“So I’ll make a poison and spread it on the fragnts of Cold Beam and stab it into the Snow Yeti’s body.”
It was only aningful if the poison was injected directly into the body like a syringe.
That’s why El Pau took out the Cold Beam magic.
Of course, it wasn’t as easy as he said.
The first and biggest problem was making the poison.
Poison Breath and Poison Mist skills were skills that created poisonous smoke, as the na suggested.
Making that into a liquid poison?
But surprisingly, El Pau wasn’t worried.
‘I’ll make a container out of snow and collect the poisonous smoke of Poison Breath in it.’
While it couldn’t be used in a normal field, there was a way in a place like this, covered in snow and freezing cold.
‘I’ll mix the blood of the Cold Eye in it.’
Mixing the poisonous smoke and the cold, sticky liquid of the Cold Eye’s blood together in the cold space.
Of course, the power of the poison obtained like this was not that impressive in general.
‘But I have to do this process over a hundred tis.’
That’s why he had to spend the whole day making the poison.
El Pau had also been preparing for this task.
But this ti it was different.
‘If I have the Hydra’s Fang, it would be a different story.’
The Hydra’s Fang, a unique grade item he had from the boss Nyr, the Poison Lizard.
That fang would double, or even more, the power of the poison magic that El Pau used.
“Poison Breath.”
That didn’t an El Pau was careless.
“Poison Breath.”
He used Poison Breath repeatedly whenever the magic cooldown ended to make the poison.
He created a stronger poison.
After countless hours of work, El Pau looked into the snow-made container he had created.
And there it was.
‘It’s enough.’
The thick, dark green sticky liquids.
Now all he had to do was coat the Cold Beam with this liquid and stab it into the Snow Yeti’s body.
Of course, El Pau knew.
‘It won’t be effective just stabbing it in like this.’
4.
“I don’t think it’ll work just coating the Cold Beam with poison like this.”
Dibo and Kiri didn’t disagree with Ralph’s words.
In fact, they nodded.
They both knew too.
“Its skin and flesh are incredibly thick, so even if we stab it with the Cold Beam coated with poison, it’ll only be on the surface.”
No matter how powerful the poison, it wasn’t easy to get the desired effect just by touching it to the surface of the skin.
“And its healing power is also incredible.”
In addition, the Snow Yeti’s skin was not easy to pierce in the first place.
“It’s not easy to attack the wound even after it’s made.”
aning that even if a wound was made, it would be healed quickly.
So targeting one spot wasn’t a very effective thod either.
That was the mont.
Beep!
The sound of a horn rang out once.
It was a signal.
“It’s coming.”
Their boss, El Pau, was giving the signal to start the attack.
At that signal, the three of them imdiately got into battle formation and headed towards the Snow Yeti, which was angrily devouring the corpses.
‘Huh?’
And they could see it.
“One shot?”
A single sharp shard of ice flying towards the Snow Yeti.
Everyone was skeptical about that fact.
As they had discussed earlier, it seed unlikely that they would achieve anything with a single attack.
‘What the hell is it?’
It was a question that couldn’t be helped.
“Whatever it is, we move the mont the attack goes in.”
But they couldn’t keep their doubts in their heads any longer.
“As ordered.”
That’s what their leader, El Pau, had said.
He told them to cling to the Snow Yeti the mont the first attack landed.
And to provoke it.
The more the monster raged and rampaged, the more the poison that had entered its body would rampage along its veins.
“We’ll hold it down so it can’t escape.”
Crucially, they had to stop the Snow Yeti from escaping. If it decided to run away, the battle situation could turn into the worst possible scenario, one they couldn’t even begin to predict.
Dibo was ready to follow that order.
‘The boss’s orders are absolute.’
Kiri felt the sa way.
‘El Pau, I can only avenge my comrades by following him now.’
She was prepared to do anything to cut off the black hand that had been cast over the Order of the Signus.
In fact, that’s why the two of them were worried.
“Ralph.”
Ralph didn’t share the sa convictions as the other two.
“Can you do it?”
That’s why Dibo asked him that question, and Ralph scratched his head and said.
“Don’t we have to? We’re not going to get paid unless we go out there.”
Those words, a ridiculous statent, actually convinced Dibo and Kiri.
‘We can trust a guy who’s crazy about money to say that.’
There was no need to doubt Ralph.
And so, with all their determination confird, the three of them focused all their senses on the Snow Yeti.
And they could see it.
Plop!
The Cold Beam was embedded right in the Snow Yeti’s left chest, between its ribs.
‘Not deep enough…….’
It was the scene they had expected.
Plop!
‘Huh?’
However, everyone made a dumbfounded expression at the sound that followed.
There was clearly one shard.
So why was there a second sound?
It was sothing they couldn’t understand.
That’s all they could do.
The Cold Beam shard that El Pau had just fired was actually two, but it seed like one because the two Cold Beam shards were connected together.
It was Tail Bite, one of El Pau’s telekinesis techniques.
It was a technique he had created to sohow inject poison into the body of a monster with superhuman healing powers.
It was a technique he had created to survive in a world where adventurers had beco prey, not hunters.
It was a technique that Dibo, Kiri, and Ralph, who had never experienced that world, could not imagine.
Of course, they didn’t need to imagine it.
“Hey, yeti pup!”
All they had to do here was one thing.
“Here cos Dibo, the Polearm Hero!”
To hold off the Snow Yeti for 3 minutes.
Krrrraaaa!
And so the battle began.
Actually, it couldn’t be called a battle.
Krrrraaaa!
The Snow Yeti was 5 ters tall, larger than a normal yeti. Its size was beyond common sense.
Its strength was even more monstrous.
Kwaaaaak!
The sound of a thick spruce tree breaking in half with the swing of its arm.
Krrrraaaa!
Above all, the Snow Yeti was intoxicated with anger.
It was in a state where it only thought about crushing and tearing apart the enemy it saw, and it didn’t care at all about the state of its own body.
“Uh, I don’t get it!”
All Dibo could do against such a Snow Yeti was to run away like a mouse.
“Everyone back!”
And Dibo was willing to play the mouse.
“Slash Blaster!”
Kwaaaak!
Dibo swung Polearm with all his might like an axe chopping wood at the Snow Yeti’s leg.
Krrrraaaa!
Enraged by the attack, the Snow Yeti glared at Dibo and began to chase after him alone.
“Co on!”
Instead of running away, Dibo ran towards the Snow Yeti.
Without releasing Polearm from his hand.
Shuuung!
He slipped right between the Snow Yeti’s legs.
And even after he ca out on the other side, he didn’t run away.
“Here, here!”
He willingly gave the Snow Yeti ti to look at him. He waited for it.
Krrrraaaa!
The Snow Yeti beca even more enraged by this.
Dibo smiled at the sight.
‘Anyway, there’s no point in doing it if the attack doesn’t an anything.’
The ability to smile in a mont of crisis was Dibo’s most certain ability.
Dibo was happy to use this ability against the Snow Yeti.
Krrrraaaa!
Dibo began to perfectly dodge the attacks of the Snow Yeti, which was charging in a rage.
But he didn’t get more than 5 ters away from the Snow Yeti.
“Here!”
He circled the Snow Yeti, eating up its ti.
Puk!
And so, while Dibo held the Snow Yeti down, a shard of Cold Beam containing El Pau’s poison was embedded in the Snow Yeti’s body.
Kiri and Ralph, who were waiting in the wings, were impressed by the sight.
Honestly, the two of them had the lowest evaluation of Dibo’s skills.
It couldn’t be helped. After all, until they entered this Mystic Gate, Kiri was a 2nd Circle and Ralph was a 3rd Circle, while Dibo was only a 1st Circle.
In addition, Dibo had the shortest adventurer experience.
This was still true after opening the 2nd Circle. It was impossible for soone who had just opened the 2nd Circle to fully utilize the abilities of the 2nd Circle.
That was definitely true.
‘He’s on a different level of talent.’
‘I guess we’ll be able to make a lot of money if we’re with Dibo.’
However, the way Dibo was fighting the Snow Yeti now was sothing Kiri and Ralph couldn’t even dare to do.
Of course, there were limits.
‘But his stamina can’t keep up.’
Right now, Dibo is using all of his abilities, but his stamina is not enough for his abilities.
So, of course, the rate at which his stamina was being consud was incomparable to normal.
In particular, the opponent was a yeti, a monster that even veteran adventurers had never heard of.
A monster that just facing it would drain his stamina, concentration, and ntal strength.
“Phew, phew.”
As expected, Dibo quickly beca exhausted.
He was already dizzy after only a minute.
‘Damn it, I have to last for 3 minutes.’
What was even more dizzying was that this was just the beginning.
In addition, Dibo knew.
‘It could get longer.’
That anything can happen in a battle.
It was then.
“Dibo!”
‘Boss?’
El Pau’s voice could be heard from a distance.
“We’re changing the plan.”
At those words, Dibo thought that his earlier concerns had beco a reality.
He might need more ti, or he might have to abandon the plan altogether.
“Boss!”
So Dibo spat out.
“Just give your orders!”
His determination.
“Fall back.”
“Boss! I can hold on!”
Because of that, Dibo did not back down at El Pau’s words.
He willingly showed an iron-like will that would never be broken.
“Fall back. You don’t need to hold out for 3 minutes.”
“I can hold out.”
El Pau broke Dibo’s will in an instant.
“No, it’s not that. The bastard is going to die in 30 seconds.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Sorry, I miscalculated.”
“Huh?”
“I think it’s going to be over faster than I thought.”
