312 – Giyeon (1)

I made connections with unexpected people, but my work wasn’t over.

I overcame harsh weather and fierce beasts and monsters, and climbed to the top of the mountain without any obstacles.

Even though there was a strong snowstorm, we continued to move forward. Thanks to the fur all over my body, I didn’t have to worry about the cold.

But there is just one thing you need to pay attention to. It is especially essential in hairy situations like now.

“aa…”

A river I found by chance while hiking. I let out a refreshing sound as I soaked in the river.

Olympus is not a volcano. Because of this, the river water was not hot, but rather cold, as if my skin would freeze.

But now I am almost immune to cold. Thanks to this, I only felt cool, not cold.

This is indeed a status window that I have opened for the first time in a long time. I took a dip in the river and stared at the status window.

There is only one thing I got from this. Cold resistance in the attribute section.

Cold resistance is literally cold resistance. Thanks to this, I was able to survive the extreme cold with my bare body.

‘But if the hair disappears, does the cold resistance also disappear?’

I was curious about this, but I don’t need to experiment right now. I turned over.

The reason I soak in the river is simple. It’s because of hygiene.

It can be said that hygiene is a thing of the past while living a raw life, but in times like these, hygiene is more important.

‘It’s annoying when the hair hardens due to blood.’

In particular, there were many cases where blood was frozen solid on the fur. Because of this, I tend to wash at least once a day.

So doesn’t fur freeze in water? If you protect it with magic, you can dry it before it freezes.

This is one of the skills I learned from Rize before coming to Frozen.

‘I didn’t know it would protect the fur, not the body.’

I washed up and headed to the top. The snowstorm stopped just at the right time.

I think I will be able to climb to the top without difficulty today. This is my personal wish.

‘Will Grandpa… Be okay?’

Every step felt heavy. If you roughly count the time, two months have passed.

The academy vacation will soon come to an end. The academy has a much longer winter break than summer break.

Of course, I have no intention of getting to class exactly on time. I’m going to hang out here until I find Sehonbingcho.

But as time passed, I couldn’t help but become impatient. It is a natural feeling as a human being.

‘······I won’t remember.’

More than a month has passed and I must have been completely forgotten. I was sad as I looked at the ground.

If you lose about a month’s worth of memory a day, you would have lost close to 50 months of memory by now.

I understand that it was approximately five years ago that Rod became president of the academy. I will still remain as president.

However, if the ‘state’ that Road has achieved so far is also regressing, it may fall sharply at any moment.

It would be a situation where the indigo magic is barely holding on to the soul, but if it falls to blue…

“Haa…”

I sighed deeply. Pure white breath rose up.

It’s a little strange to say this, but I feel like my heart is breaking just a little.

I’ve climbed and descended many mountains so far, but I haven’t found what I wanted.

If I can’t look around all the remaining mountain peaks, what should I do?

Should I go back empty-handed, or should I wait until the herbs bloom?

-Tuk.

“Huh?”

It was a time when I was walking aimlessly, just looking at the ground. My head felt soft.

At this, I raised my head and looked up. Looking at the shadow, it’s clear that he’s bigger than me.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

The entire body is covered with pure white fur, and the face looks like a mix between a monkey and an ape.

In particular, the characteristic feature is the buck teeth that protrude out of the lips. It looks sharp just by looking at it.

What about the body? If the arms were just a little longer, they would have reached the ground.

The slightly exposed skin was a pale blue color, and he was holding a bat in his right hand.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

“······Pureuk.”

Who was this guy? I stared at the guy who was looking down with a sad expression.

It’s different from any monster or spirit I’ve seen so far. Although it looks fierce, it is not as ferocious as other monsters.

It is clear that it does not attack even though it is this close. So I became even more curious.

‘Was the name…Yeti?’

It is an even rarer entity than the Gomtaeng that previously used lightning. A position roughly similar to Porori in the Forest of Chaos.

Not only is it very intelligent, but it rarely harms people. Unless you entered his territory his

“Puruk.”

“··· ···”

“Purrup. Purrup.”

-Tuk. Tuk.

The Yeti said something and patted my shoulder before passing by. He doesn’t look like he’s fighting at all.

Rather, I was more embarrassed. I looked at the back of Yeti, who was walking away with a bewildered expression.

‘Did you just get sympathy from that bastard? No. Before that…’

It seems like they were treated as ‘compatriots’. Otherwise, Yeti wouldn’t do that.

It’s not just that I’m treated like one of my own by monsters, I’m even treated with pity. I laughed out loud because it was so absurd.

Even what that Yeti said to me is ridiculous. I don’t know what’s going on, but cheer up.

An indescribable emotion welled up from deep within my heart.

‘Fuck. Thank you so much.’

My treatment was so pathetic that I even received sympathy from the monster. I sighed deeply.

Looking at my appearance alone, I am a monster, but in reality, I am treated on the same level as a monster.

If I go back to the academy and tell them, will they believe me? I burst out laughing.

‘······Wait a minute.’

I walked and stopped abruptly. It’s crazy, but an idea occurred to me that it might be possible.

He immediately turned his back and was chased after the Yeti. Because he was big, it wasn’t difficult to catch up even though he was far away.

“Hey. Hey.”

“?”

At my call, the Yeti looked back at me with a puzzled expression. Even his facial expression she was as good as that of a human being.

I immediately took a twig and drew on the floor. I clearly remember the appearance of Sehonbingcho.

The Yeti bent his knees as I began to draw the Sehon Ice Reef in the snow. He seems to be a really nice guy than he looks.

“Have you ever seen anything like this?”

“Pureuk…”

After I finished drawing all of the Sehon Ice Grass, I asked Yeti. As soon as Yeti saw it, he stroked his beard.

Every action he made really felt like a human being. Are you stepping through the steps of the spirit world step by step like Porori?

Yeti, who had been looking at Sehon Bingcho for a while, soon nodded and looked elsewhere.

And he pointed the bat towards the top of a high mountain.

“Puruk.”

“It’s over there?”

“Purmur.”

A rough interpretation(?) Is this: That’s what he remembers.

Instead, be careful because a strong guardian is guarding you. You look strong, so you can do it.

“Are you really a good guy?”

“Puruk.”

What do friends do? Why am I your friend?

Those words welled up in my throat, but I held them back. Just give me something to eat when I go down the mountain.

I waved goodbye to Yeti and walked straight towards him. Yeti also gave me a wave.

‘Is this called chance?’

If it’s by chance, it must be by chance. I chuckled.

However, even if you get a chance, difficult things are difficult, and I couldn’t help but be dazed as I looked at the mountain peak that Yeti told me about.

“Such a decade.”

It was a distant cliff. A cliff that makes you sigh in frustration just by looking at it.

But you can’t give up. I started climbing slowly using the ax as a climbing tool.

The remaining limbs were made into claws using red magic. Even though it consumes a lot of magic power, it should be okay.

‘But what if that guy messed up?’

Let’s think about that later. At least I didn’t lie.

“Whoo. Whoo.”

I climbed up a distant cliff.

*****

The life of a real Yeti, not the Yeti that has been floating around like a ghost story in Frozen recently, is simple.

Humans are afraid of him, so be careful not to provoke them for no reason, and wander around Olympus.

This is something that Sivar only vaguely noticed, but the Yeti currently reigns as a predator in the Olympus Mountains.

Therefore, it was normal to be on guard when a predator (Shivar) from another area appeared, but the Yeti did not.

“Puruk.”

Because it was because of Sivar’s usual appetite. He did not dispose of the animals he hunted neatly.

Heart, liver, lungs etc. They mainly ate the high-calorie organs, but left out all the tastiest pieces of meat.

More than anything, his instincts are as a monster spoke. There was no hostility toward Sivar, and he seemed more like a wanderer.

It was also friendly. The whole body is covered with white fur, and it feels like meeting a member of the same race.

Didn’t he even hold Ragnarok in his right hand? Like a Yeti holding a club.

“The Yeti was here.”

“Pureuk?”

That was when she was wandering around the area aimlessly. Yeti raised his eyes at the sound he heard from the other side.

Since I couldn’t sense any signs of her, it was a bonus that I immediately went into alert mode. Yeti glared ahead.

First of all, unlike its kin (Shivar) that we just met, it lacks body hair. It means human.

It was a Yeti that did not enter human areas as much as possible, but the story is different if humans invaded first.

“Puuuuu!!”

Yeti poses a threat. It felt even more ferocious due to its high buck teeth.

However, humans were unaffected by Yeti’s threat. He was looking in the other direction.

“That means there is Sehonbingcho over there…”

“Crrrr rrrr

“Hey, can you please get out of the way?”

-Roaring!

It seems that the Yeti has no intention of getting out of the way despite humans’ polite requests. A faint thunder rumbled in the sky.

Humans heard the thunder and looked up at the sky. The sky was overcast with dark clouds, perhaps because of a blizzard.

“Eh… I don’t want to kill you.”

“Kaa!!”

He doesn’t go despite threats. Then the only thing left is to kill.

The Yeti let out a harsh roar and ran towards the human. Then he lifted a tree-sized club upward.

Eventually, when the human came right in front of him, the Yeti struck down the club.

-Quaang!!

As soon as the Yeti hit the human with the club, a weak lightning occurred. When you see this, it means you are on the verge of entering the spiritual world.

Normally, it would have been normal to raise the club straight away, but the Yeti stopped in that position. As if time had stopped.

“Hmm~ Hmm~”

The human that the Yeti was targeting was already behind the Yeti. No, more accurately, I ignored the Yeti and walked forward.

Even humming a song is a very relaxed attitude.

-Suuuuuch

After a while, a seam appeared on Yeti’s neck…

-Cheolpuk!

His face separated from his body and fell to the ground. Maintaining the same fierce expression.

The predator of the Olympus Mountains died in vain. By a human who appeared out of nowhere.

“I want to take care of myself quickly.”

The human was wearing a smiling mask.
