313 – Giyeon (2)

Climbing an almost vertical cliff is very arduous.

The moment you make a mistake, you may fall, but you cannot stop in the middle.

To make matters worse, a blizzard raged like a storm. Nothing was easy.

‘It’s still better than the monument.’

In terms of height alone, it is much taller than the monument. However, the monument cannot use magic power.

One of my strengths is my magical power, and since I could use it all, I didn’t feel tired.

I’m just nervous that I might mess up once. I’ve come up all the way, but if it falls, I’ll be really sad.

You’ll be more than sad, you’ll be angry. Even though I’m angry, I plan to climb until the end.

-Patter!

“Oh, Mr.······”

A pile of snow fell on my head. I wasn’t pushed out, but I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

The higher you go, the more snow piles seem to fall. I hope it’s a mistake.

‘Yeti said there was a strong guardian, right?’

It doesn’t end when you climb the cliff all the way up. You will have to face the guardian that exists above.

I don’t know how strong the guardian is, but since he said he is protecting Sehonbingcho, he must be quite strong.

If you’re unlucky, it might be equivalent to sodomy. Spirits are also divided into colors for each level.

‘I don’t know about volcanic areas, but I don’t know much about the Olympus Mountains…’

The volcanic area is an area that you must visit at least once in the story. Because there were items that needed to be obtained there.

But not the Olympus Mountains. Even if you don’t know about the Frozen Principality, the Olympus Mountains are of low importance.

The best I can do is fill out the monster encyclopedia. Even I didn’t recognize the Yeti I just met.

‘It will be similar to a volcanic area.’

In any case, you need to keep in mind if you encounter a dark blue guardian.

However, since the spirits are the weakest and have clear weaknesses, they will be easy to deal with.

Once the nucleus or core is destroyed, it is completely over. So, as long as you have space-related skills, it is mostly just one room.

What does a hard shell protect? If you sharpen it once, the core is cut off.

‘What I have to be most conscious of is the stage.’

I raised my head and looked up.

It was still difficult to determine the summit of the cliff that looked like it had been carved out, but it was rather small in terms of area.

If the spirit decides to push me, I’ll fall straight down. This is the part you need to be most careful about.

If it goes all the way up and falls out of bounds… I will cry at that time. It’s not just empty words, I’m going to cry even if it means my heart is bursting.

-Dude!

“Huh?”

I was just about to gather myself and go up again. Suddenly, an earthquake began to sound.

I almost lost my hand and fell, but I managed to keep my balance. The situation is already bad, but it is the worst.

‘No. Wait for a second. Rather than an earthquake…’

I looked up despite my doubts. It’s because of the snow pile that fell on my head earlier.

There are more things to worry about than earthquakes. In particular, the eyes are very vulnerable to such vibrations.

And sure enough. Soon after, the worst natural disaster unfolded.

-Rurrrr!!

An avalanche overcame the snowdrift and was falling from the top of the cliff.

It’s hard to call it an avalanche because it’s a cliff, but at least from my perspective, it’s an avalanche.

There are even icicles here and there, so it looks like they fell in the recent earthquake.

“Such a decade…”

I took action before I could even utter a curse word. We’ve come a long way, but we can’t succumb to a natural disaster like that.

If that’s the case, I guess I’ll have to endure it. I dug my magic claws deeper.

If you put in too much, there is a high chance that it will slide down due to the pushing force.

In this case, the problem is that red magic power is stronger than other magic power. It is difficult to control in this situation.

It’s a shame that there is Ragnarok. If it weren’t for this, I would have given up halfway.

‘This alone is not enough.’

-Quick!!

This wasn’t enough and I sank my teeth into the cliff. The teeth have the strength to chew even a stone.

Now all that’s left is to wait. I clung to the cliff like a cicada from an old tree.

-Quarrrr!!!

A huge pile of snow fell like a waterfall over my head. I was pushed down slightly, but I held on until the end.

I persevered even when icicles hit the top of my head and a strong weight felt on my limbs.

How long did you have to endure it? The pressure that was pouring over my head disappeared in an instant.

I blinked and raised my head. There are no more piles of falling snow.

‘What on earth is it?’

The first earthquake was not an earthquake. It ended too briefly to be an earthquake.

Should I say it is a short and thick vibration? There must be something, seeing as it was vividly conveyed only on the cliff.

I wonder if the guardian predicted my coming and woke up in advance. This is the only hypothesis that immediately comes to mind.

‘No way someone could have come early.’

The Olympus Mountains are unnecessarily cold, have an annoyingly large number of strong monsters, and have nothing to eat.

No one comes deep unless they come to find legendary herbs like me.

In the distant future, Frozen will have to come deeper, at least because of the mining industry. But that is in the future.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath and started climbing the cliff. Fortunately, it’s over after being pushed back a bit.

Slowly, the end of the cliff became visible, and hope began to appear little by little.

‘······What if I don’t have it?’

At the same time, anxiety crept in. If you go through all this hard work and still don’t have it, the feeling of desolation cannot be expressed in words.

Still, I can’t give up. I gritted my teeth and climbed steadily.

Eventually, I reached the edge of the cliff, and my expectations were also raised to the maximum.

Even though my limbs ache, the dopamine in my brain masks it all.

Now all that’s left is to check if there is Sehon Bingcho…

“Right. Right. Uum.”

“······?”

······················································································. ·····················································································. ···········································﹥﹥

What am I seeing right now? I was frozen in an unbelievable reality.

Right now, a golem, presumed to be a guardian, has fallen in front of me. It is a large object that appears to be quite strong.

However, what bothers me the most is the person sitting leisurely on it.

Okay. Person. A person who was sure he would never come here.

The man was sitting proudly on the guardian’s fragment, chewing a piece of grass with pleasure.

“Chuck. Hmm?”

“··· ···”

“What? Yeti? I killed the Yeti earlier? Is it really a cub?”

People’s words were not heard. I observed the person’s appearance in a daze.

A person wearing a smiling mask and very light clothing, perhaps because it is not cold.

The overall color of the clothes was purple, and the hair behind the mask was golden.

I was confused as to whether the voice was male or female. It’s not a neutral voice, it’s a slightly disheveled voice.

‘Well, that person…’

I know who that person is. That’s because he is a character with a deep connection to Luna.

Why is that person here? But there is one thing more important than that.

What is that person eating right now? At least I didn’t see any bags carrying luggage.

In other words, after defeating the guardian, he ate something that was here. Most likely.

Even in the confusing situation, I slowly raised my hand. It’s a bonus that my hands are shaking due to the reality that I don’t want to believe.

“Well, that…”

“Huh? A person? Ah, it’s a person. It did something.”

“Right now… Eating…”

“What are you eating?”

The masked stranger tilted his head and asked me back.

“Sehon Bingcho? Are you talking about Sehon Bingcho?”

“··· ···”

Yes. That’s right. It was my only hope.

As soon as the confirmed kill was confirmed, I weakly dropped the arm I had raised. And shake it! I kneeled down.

People naturally lose their reason when they get angry. Especially when faced with a reality that you don’t want to believe.

But what if there is a feeling of despair even worse than that? The anger that was about to explode will soon subside.

Instead, there will be a feeling of despair deeper than the deep sea. That’s exactly how I feel right now.

‘Grandpa… I have to save him…’

I didn’t think anything of it. That’s the only thing that comes to mind.

The being in front of me seemed to have read my thoughts, tilting its head to reveal doubt.

“Grandfather? Oh, you really meant to give it to me?”

“··· ···”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t even know that. But what about this? I ate it first.”

Even if he said it teasingly, I didn’t care. I just hated the world so much.

He was originally a likable person, but as of today, his likability has gone to the worst.

[Faith rises!]

“······Huh? Wait a minute. You can’t believe it…”

A mask that tries to say something at the same time as your faith rises. But it was already too late.

I couldn’t control my emotions because I couldn’t overcome the rising despair.

There is only one thing that suits despair.

Sadness. Or sadness.

“Sigh…”

“No. Wait a minute.”

[Faith increases.]

The mask must have sensed something and came down from the top of the guardian in surprise.

“Keuuuuu uuuuu uuuuu)

“I didn’t know this would happen! I just told you to come!”

[Faith rises!]

I felt tears forming in my eyes. The mask shouted urgently.

“Uuuuu…”

“Ooh, don’t cry! Pop! Pop! I don’t know what it is… But should I give you some candy?”

[Faith rises!!]

I lowered my upper body and started crying. The mask patted my back and comforted me.

“Keuuuuu!!”

“S-sorry!! Don’t cry! Ttuk!!”

Sadness exploded like an active volcano.

[Faith rises!!!]
