53 – Unexpected variables (11)
Perhaps it was reckless.
I would have been able to live if I had run away with all my might.
Or it might have been the right choice to wait quietly for Erina and Kayla.
The snow woman moaning under me was gradually pushing her blade away.
I couldn’t win if it was simple strength.
Even if they had an advantage, the result did not change.
“hehehe…!”
In the end, she lost her sword.
I managed to avoid her strong grip on her neck and maintained her position.
Fortunately, her body did not turn over. At the same time, the opponent made a mistake.
In this situation, the snow woman was drawing her magic circle.
She was aiming for a surprise attack with magic again.
But she wasn’t standing still.
Before her magic chanted, she quickly struck her fist down.
Her fist landed on Snow Woman’s face, breaking through her poorly realized defense.
Her opponent’s face turned with a dull shock.
She continued her punching without stopping.
With a faint scream, the snow woman raised her guard.
She relentlessly aimed for her face and hit her.
Although he maintained his momentum, he was nervous inside.
At this rate, I can only restrain her movements.
Maybe I could have exhausted myself first.
I needed a sure way to end my life.
At that time, an ice spear that had fallen on the floor caught my eye.
I picked up the weapon that the snow woman had swung at me a while ago.
As it was, I lifted her vertically and screamed at her snow woman’s chest.
“Ah… no…!!”
With a desperate scream, Snow Woman grabbed her spear.
But unlike her blade, her pointed spear wasn’t easy to push away.
She struggled with her body and tried to get out of her position.
But the edge of her spear started to go down, holding her body tight.
“Ha ha… Ha ha…”
My heart was beating like crazy.
Her relentless pounding chest seemed like it was about to jump out.
I could clearly see that the current situation was not normal.
Occasionally, my vision shook. The tingling pain in the back intensified.
I grabbed her blurred gaze and squeezed her hand.
I leaned against her spear and put her weight on it.
The same goes for Snow Woman.
His eyes were still shining, but they were gradually losing their power.
The snow woman’s hand holding her spear slipped.
It was getting closer and closer to her heart.
“What the hell are you,”
Finally, the sharp spear blade landed on her chest.
Blood began to flow little by little.
“Where did he come from…”
This is probably not the only question you want to ask.
From her point of view, I was no different from an uninvited guest on the snowy mountain.
No one has ever climbed to the top of the mountain.
“…I don’t need to know.”
I had no intention of unraveling the knowledge of the game.
I wouldn’t believe it, and I couldn’t afford to explain.
Finally, the sharp blade of the spear pierced into the snow woman’s arms.
“Keugh…”
I could feel the heartbeat in the hand holding the spear.
The thumping and thumping vibration that maintained a certain distance gradually faded.
“Coward…”
Slowly, the snow woman’s body sank.
The blurry eyes were staring at me all the way.
Finally, even the hand holding the spear lost its strength and fell to the floor.
I was able to face the end of the monster who dreamed of eternal life.
It was a miserable and futile ending.
A life that has been lived for hundreds of years has come to an ephemeral end.
As soon as the fact that she had won was fixed in her mind, her body relaxed.
I could feel the heat running down my spine.
I put down the window and tried to get myself up.
However, with the sound of bones breaking, my legs gave out.
I hurriedly picked up a knife that had bounced nearby.
As before, I got up from my seat using the sword as a staff.
But the sword broke before I could go far.
As it were, the body was rolled over in the snow.
He handled the sword roughly, but what is the case with it breaking right now?
“Damn it…”
The only thing left was the strength to keep my mouth shut.
I fell down the slope from the top to here.
During the fight with the snow woman, he suffered numerous injuries.
The current situation could not be called normal.
My body didn’t listen to me, as if my muscles were stiff.
I wish I had a potion, but I lost my backpack because I was swept away by a landslide.
The fear of death suddenly came to mind.
If I were to be attacked by monsters in my current state, I wouldn’t have the confidence to fight back.
However, there was no more strength left in the body.
The moment your eyes go dark and you are about to lose your mind,
“Seohyun!!”
My vision brightened with a scream.
White hair and armor. A person with red eyes contrasting with him.
Erina was holding onto my body.
Kayla was following behind her.
Fortunately, both of them seemed unharmed.
However, the faces of my comrades were infinitely darker.
Especially Erina, her face pale and her breathing hard.
Her trembling hands hugged my body.
“Are you okay… ?! No, this is not the time! Get treatment right away… !”
“Here it is!”
Kayla quickly pulled out her potion.
As soon as I opened the stopper and the potion touched my body, the pain began to subside.
A sense of relief and joy surged in my heart.
I survived. I won against Snow Woman.
Erina groped over me and poured the potion into her wounds.
Then, when I saw the wound on my back, I started to sob.
“I’m sorry. I swore to protect you…”
“It’s not your fault.”
Who would have predicted that the snow woman would destroy the summit of the snowy mountain?
It was an unexpected situation that no one expected.
But Erina poured out her tears as if it was all her own fault.
“If I had been stronger, this wouldn’t have happened…”
“No. You are strong enough.”
I was surprised to see the snow woman and the monster at the top.
I knew Erina was strong, but I didn’t expect her to be this overwhelming.
It could be said that it was a mistake to get caught up in the landslide due to Snow Woman’s final outburst.
But in the end, I survived.
“Don’t worry. It’s over now.”
She pointed her finger at the fallen snow woman in the snow.
Both were stunned when they found the body.
“How did that b*tch… !”
“It’s okay. I won.”
I was proud to say it myself.
Although, it was not something that I accomplished alone.
Still, it was fine to say that the finish was solely my credit.
Of course, I almost died too. He was still in a state of exhaustion.
If they hadn’t found me, I might have been on the verge of death.
As a result, there was no problem.
I was worried about the disappearing Yongin, but I liked it no matter what.
“Erina. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. More than that, you…”
As Erina continued her treatment, Kayla came up to me and knelt down next to her.
Then he carefully held out her hand.
“Seohyun. Please allow me to hold your hand for a moment.”
Erina immediately tried to shake off her hand, but I stopped her.
“Erina. Please.”
“…I see.”
I slowly grabbed Kayla’s hand.
Shortly thereafter, warmth began to spread throughout the body.
It must have been the magic used a few days ago to transfer body temperature to me.
“Kayla. Are you okay? You’re better than me…”
“I’m fine.”
Her Suddenly, I was able to find a change in her.
The way he smiled while holding her hand was different from before.
The blizzard of the snowy mountain was still there.
But Kayla didn’t tremble in her voice, nor did she flinch.
I could guess the reason right away.
“You found the cold boots.”
“Yes. Thanks to the master’s words, I was able to escape safely.”
Kayla explained everything she had been up to since she fell off the cliff.
As expected, the Yongin I met was said to be Kayla’s former colleague.
Lily and Ellie. The two Yongin are said to have colluded with Snowyeo and plot to avenge her on Kayla.
After falling off the cliff, she was attacked, but it is said that she was able to escape safely thanks to the discovery of frostbite.
“So, what happened to those two?”
“Don’t worry. They’re all dead.”
Erina, who was swept away by an avalanche, said she met Kayla while wandering around looking for me.
Fortunately, it is said that the two men’s pincer attack killed all of Yongin.
I was worried about missing Yongin, but I felt relieved when I heard that the two of them took care of it.
“Good work everyone.”
After my words, Erina shed tears quietly.
The look on me was full of confusion.
From noble mtl dot com
On the other hand, Kayla was worried and at the same time bright.
She smiled warmly and handed me her body temperature.
I thought I could understand why there were such conflicting images.
Perhaps Erina couldn’t easily believe that I had defeated the snow woman.
She didn’t want me to be strong, so she was embarrassed.
On the other hand, Kayla seemed proud of me.
I won against the snow woman of the snowy mountain.
It’s not an ordinary monster, it’s a legendary figure.
She was delighted that she had won against her.
“Let’s get out of here for now. All that remains is to find the frosting, so let’s hurry.”
“You need to rest a little more. You’re not feeling very well.”
“It’s okay. As long as you can move alone…”
I removed Kayla’s hand and tried to raise her body myself.
But she sat down in her place again.
Seeing that, Erina immediately took my body into her arms.
She held me down lightly, holding her back.
“Don’t overdo it. I need a break now. It’s too dangerous with a broken sword and no shield.”
She was right. I thought too hastily without even realizing it.
Not only me, but also Erina and Kyla must have been very tired.
Anyway, there was no snow woman anymore.
All that remains are the monsters wandering the snowy mountains.
The number of monsters nearby should be considerably less.
I’ve already defeated countless monsters at the top.
“Okay. Let’s rest today.”
As soon as I could say my words, Erina picked me up while holding my body.
Isn’t that the attitude a man normally gives to a woman?
I was a bit embarrassed, but I didn’t really express my dissatisfaction right now.
The only person watching was Kayla.
There was no reason to feel ashamed.
“Erina. Thank you.”
“No. I can do this for the rest of my life.”
I am grateful, but I wanted to decline that much.
