Chapter 735 – B-Class Dungeon, Ice Lord’s Snowy Mountain (3)

Moving and walking with the igloo wrapped around three people, for about 20 minutes.

The process of walking to where the boss monster was was not that difficult. Because the level 2 exploration skill I got from Mina was quite useful.

If you were searching for all the monsters in the area, or finding hidden traps in a complex labyrinth, you would need to increase your search level further.

However, level 2 exploration was enough to find the magic power of the strongest monster in the area.

As we walked towards the place where we felt the strongest magical response, the three of us were able to reach the place where the dungeon’s boss monster was.

For now, I quietly observed the shape of the snowy mountain boss monster I encountered for the first time.

“Frostheim… Right?”

“Yes, I think so.”

“As far as I know, Frostheim is an S-class monster.”

“That’s right. Plus, since it’s a snowy mountain with a blizzard, durability is probably higher than usual.”

“I guess he won’t be an easy opponent.”

Ice Lord, Frostheim.

At first glance, it was a monster that looked like it was made up of several giant blocks of ice floating around, but in reality, all of those blocks of ice were solid bodies filled with magical energy.

Of course, being an S-class monster, it is not usually hard, and if you recklessly thrust a sword or spear at it, there are frequent cases of the blade breaking. Moreover, since it is a snowy mountain, it will be even more frozen.

If it had been before, it would have been at a level where all of the Azure Shield would have had to rush in to kill it. Just like how we all gathered together and managed to catch the White Crystal Spider Queen in the Crystal Spider Cave.

Of course, compared to those days, I and the other members of Azure Shield had achieved considerable growth.

Especially since I was several times stronger than the other members, I had the idea that I would be able to do quite well against S-class monsters.

‘I think I can probably handle it on my own.’

It was only recently that I raised my fire magic to the highest level using awakening points.

Although I don’t have a Mithril greatsword, I do have a Damascus greatsword, and I always carry auxiliary weapons such as spears and bows.

Deciding that it would be a pretty good test of my skills, I wrapped a protection spell around my body and prepared for a one-on-one battle.

“But at that level, I think the three of us can easily deal with it. As long as you have the means to draw attention to the Shadow of the Tale and finish it off while my Earth Golem blocks a few attacks…”

“No, I will take care of that myself.”

“… Yes?”

“I’m going to catch Frostheim on my own as a test, so Yehee and Seolhwa don’t get involved and just wait.”

“You’re going to face an S-class monster alone? What on earth does that mean…”

Do Ye-hee looked at me with a dumbfounded expression and muttered, but my body had already come out of the igloo and ran towards him.

Ignoring the suspicious gaze coming from behind, I quickly narrowed the distance to the Ice Lord.

‘First, let’s see how well fire magic works.’

There is nothing better than this to find out how durable it is.

He picked up the throwing spear he had taken out of his subspace pocket and poured magical energy into the entire spear.

The moment before it fell from my hand, the flame spear burning with flame magic flew through the wind towards the huge cold spirit.

– Quad deuk!

‘Guggggg…’ .’

As soon as a burning spear was suddenly lodged in one side of his body, Frostheim noticed my presence and slowly turned around.

The sound of the wind passing through the spirit’s body, and the sound of huge ice blocks rubbing together, were heard like profound cries.

In response to the sound that heightened the tension, the second flame spear prepared in advance also hit the guy.

– Quad deuk!

‘Guggggg…’ .’

… Still, I thought it would be effective to some extent since it is a fire magic, but it is not as powerful as I thought.

Even though I tried using an attack mixed with fire magic, which is a compatible attack, it did not seem to cause any significant damage. Since it’s an S-class monster, it seems like it can easily ignore attacks like this.

In the first place, this environment itself was not a very good terrain for using a flame spear.

Once the flame spear left my hand, it could not supply additional magic power, so it could only burn as much magic power as it had already been given.

This means that no matter how much you try to blow a burning spear in these snowy mountains, it will quickly cool down and ultimately will not be able to inflict any significant damage.

‘I think it would be best to fight in close combat.’

That one wasn’t bad in its own way. After all, my main weapon was a sword, not a spear.

With that thought in mind, the moment I was about to take out the Damascus greatsword from the subspace pocket, Frostheim’s huge ice fist flew towards me at incredible speed.

Fortunately, my body didn’t get crushed by his arms because I kept my guard up.

– Kuguung!

“… Phew.”

… I expected it to fly, but the fist was much faster than I expected.

It was a natural feeling I had as I watched the chunk of ice fly at a speed that was completely out of proportion to its huge size.

This attack is probably possible because the entire body is not a single lump, but a block of ice scattered into pieces.

There was no need to twist the entire huge body; all you had to do was throw the ice chunks corresponding to your hands using magical power.

After failing to attack once, the Ice Lord’s hand returned to its original position, and this time, a sharp wind of cold air flew straight from his body towards me.

-After that!

A strong snowstorm mixed with howling and wind noise came to hit me.

When expressing unbearably harsh cold, it is often referred to as a sharp wind or biting cold.

In that respect, the coldness of Frostheim that came before my eyes was literally biting cold itself.

Because the sharp ice blades mixed in the cold and bitter wind were threatening to tear me apart.

-Howling!

-Chi-ik, chi-ik…

Fortunately, the fire fortress that was created before its blizzard reached my body protected me, and the ice blades flying towards me were blocked by the wall of blazing flames and sublimated and disappeared with the sound of boiling water.

First of all, I blocked his attack with this, but how can I approach him again in this state?

The Flame Fortress is a fixed magic, so it cannot move with the flames.

In order to move together, I had to repeat the disarming and activating of the flame fortress magic blocking my front several times, but not only did it take a long time, but there was too much magical power wasted.

However, if I try to hold out against an S-class monster, of course all my magic power will be used up first, and the moment that happens, fire magic and everything else will have no meaning.

There was only one way. To reach a conclusion as quickly as possible before magic power declines even a little more,

As I made that decision, I began to chant another large flame spell from behind the Flame Citadel.

A fire magic spell so large that it could inflict a direct hit on the guy’s body.

“A flower of flame, a majestic flaming energy blooming from the depths of the mind…”

It had been confirmed to some extent by the flame spear just now that the guy in front of me was capable of using fire magic to some extent. However, the magic power that could be given to the spear itself was limited, so it did not produce sufficient power.

On the contrary, if sufficient magical power was given, the power could be doubled or more, so what was being prepared now was a magic containing sufficient magical energy.

Flame Blast.

It was a type of magic that gathered a significant amount of the magic power in the body into a huge sphere of magic power and then exploded it with flame magic.

I threw it with all my might, as if shooting it at the monster in front of me.

“… Burn and explode! Flame Blast!”

-Wheeeee!!

A huge fireball flying at the guy, accompanied by a huge fever.

The huge fireball flew towards Frostheim through a blizzard and ice blades.

My fireball landed directly in the center of the body of the guy who was spitting out icy wind.

-Kwagwagwagwang!

‘That drama! Well… !!’

A huge body momentarily tilted with a massive explosion.

It wasn’t a bad attack, but it was still not enough.

Even if fire magic is compatible with cold spirit, the opponent is an S-level monster. Because there was no way he would fall down with just one powerful fire spell.

Moreover, since this snowy mountain was the Ice Lord’s territory from the beginning, any damage caused by my attack would be recovered quickly.

If I didn’t finish it off here, it would have been a massive waste of my mana.

‘This is the only opportunity to narrow the distance.’

To finish things off, this time I ran out with the great sword I pulled out of my subspace pocket.

Thanks to the flame blast that melted the snow, a somewhat straight path was created.

With more freedom of movement, my body moved closer to the Ice Lord along the exposed dirt road.

-Tap!

‘That’s it, that’s it…’ .’

Meanwhile, Frostheim regenerates his body shortly after being hit by a fire magic of that magnitude.

It looked like the broken pieces of ice were coming together, melting, and the scattered areas were being filled with new snow and ice.

Just before it completely returned to its original body, I surrounded the surface of my greatsword with a magical barrier that was compressed as much as possible.

-Howling!

And, in that state, a huge sword of flames rises with all its might.

It was a combination of the highest level of swordsmanship and the highest level of fire magic.

In addition, I have spent the past year learning under the greatest teachers, so now is the time to check the results of that training.

The speed is fast. Black heavily.

Calculate carefully. The result is hot.

-Paaah!

Just before the body of the huge S-class monster was completely regenerated, my body holding the flaming greatsword jumped into the air.

In one simple motion, the Ice Lord’s body was sliced ​​from top to bottom.

-Seogeeogeeokeuk!!

‘Okay… ! Well, ugh… !’

The sound of a huge block of ice splitting, the sound of pieces of ice being cut with friction, and the sound of the wind, which I couldn’t tell if it was the cry of an ice spirit, mixed in and tickled my ears.

Frostheim’s body, which was a huge block of ice, was split into left and right sides by my flame greatsword.

-Cugung, Coogung…

And then, the ice spirit fell to the ground with a loud sound and completely stopped functioning.

Before the guy’s body could regenerate around the core again, I quickly extracted the core from the center of the guy’s body and placed it in a subspace pocket.

All that was left was a large chunk of ice that had lost its core.

“… Phew.”

It was the first S-class monster defeated in a one-on-one battle.

… Considering the amount of remaining magical energy, it might have been a little close.
