Chapter 106
Episode 106:
Let’s see. It’s been a long time since I held a shield.
“I can’t even compare it to what I used before.”
X equipped both hands with a traveler’s sword and dark iron equipment and looked around the glacier. Perhaps due to his mood, the area around the handle of the traveler’s sword seemed to be getting hotter.
“Another income from the volcano!”
Hot volcanic lava!
A traveler’s sword that eats a vast amount of flame and breaks the seal.
While collecting ingredients, X would dip the traveler’s sword into the lava. Even the heat of the black lava was absorbed in an instant.
[Flame absorbed: 17.5%]
“We still have a long way to go, but we have Yongyong.”
“Kyuu? “Kyuut!”
“Cute bastard.”
When I saw Yongyong looking proud, I couldn’t help but smile.
X looked around the ice. The ice reflects the sunlight and shines brightly! The ice was so wide that there was no end in sight.
‘Let’s search near the iceberg first.’
The large iceberg seemed large enough to act as a windbreak.
Even monsters don’t like the cold wind. It seemed like there was definitely something near the iceberg. After making a decision, X and Yongyong headed towards the iceberg.
“Kyuuu!”
Yongyong, who was flying ahead, wagged his tail. Expression of interest It means that you have found something that interests you.
Slam! X raised his shield and ran.
“Ohh?”
Huge chunks clinging to the iceberg!
When I looked closely, I saw that they looked exactly like the walruses I saw in the documentary. The only difference is that this one is incomparably larger in size.
X asked playfully.
“If I catch one, I’ll eat it all week, right?”
“Kyuut? “Kyu-kyu!”
X and Yongyong had ridiculous camouflage, but they were big enough to make you think that way.
But for X and Yongyong, it’s just a meal!
“…Why do you seem angry?”
They must have heard the sound of swallowing as they raised their heavy bodies.
Woooooo!
It showed its hostility with a loud cry.
X gave instructions to Yongyong.
“Yongyong, please watch this time.”
“Kyuu?”
“The shield. “I still need to get used to it.”
A suitable opponent for warming up. To X, the glacier elephant only felt that way.
The Froststorm Cliffs glacier was the northernmost point on the northern tip of the continent. Thanks to this, there is no way any information is known. I couldn’t even tell the guy’s level right now.
X approached and shook his head.
‘I guess I’ll have to give him a few hits first.’
The enemies that must be blocked with the new shield are so powerful that you can’t even guess. Not only will you encounter other beings, but in the future you will also encounter large guilds and war machines. So I had to get used to the shield.
Close! X raised his shield.
Woooooo!
Soon the shadow of a huge glacier elephant appeared over X’s head.
A physical attack that uses heavy weight to strike the teeth. It was slow, but I could feel its overwhelming power just by looking at it.
bang!
Teeth and shield met.
One thing that was pushed aside was the glacier elephant.
X lightly shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, you don’t need to apply much force.”
Holding a shield does not mean you can block attacks. You have to put out your shield at the timing of the attack to neutralize the attack and take advantage of the gap.
The complete nullification of physical attacks was the result of the combination of the Dark Iron Shield and X’s monstrous stats. X made a cool decision.
‘You can easily avoid most physical attacks, right?’
Of course, if it wasn’t so shocking, it could have gone right into a counterattack.
Act rather than think! X saw the glacier elephant charging at him again and raised his shield.
bang!
Blocking the attack perfectly.
Shock!
He succinctly swung the traveler’s sword.
The battle ended there.
X’s eyebrows twitched as he confirmed the information that came to mind.
“…Level 350? “The experience level is also decent.”
The level of the glacier elephant was a whopping 350. X defeated a monster 100 levels higher than himself with one blow! Stats are stats, but the increased proficiency in basic skills was also a big factor.
Damn!
As the cold wind blew, X, who was shivering, began to move quickly. The only trophy obtained through heavenly capture was glacial elephant meat. X quenched his appetite.
“The item is definitely disappointing.”
It is a glacier field not far from the Frost Storm Cliffs.
Currently, there is a lack of hunting grounds for high-level users. If it was announced that a mid-level 300 monster would appear here, the nearby Frost Storm Cliffs would naturally become known as well.
“I don’t know if you give me the ingredients…”
So I couldn’t help but feel sad!
High-level users are the ones who spend gold around. Not only do you have to buy a large potion, but you also pay a high price to repair the equipment after the hunt.
Thanks to this, villages around hunting grounds where strong monsters appear have no choice but to become wealthy.
‘If we just collect that tax…!’
X felt like he had already become the owner of Froststorm Cliff with the forgotten royal seal. I already felt a deep sense of regret, as if I were the lord of Frost Storm Cliff. X ignited a fire and ignited his motivation.
‘No, it’s still too early to be disappointed. The glacier is wide.’
Yes, it is a glacier so wide that you cannot see the end. Where could the only monster be a glacier elephant?
There may be a guy with more experience who gets better rewards.
“To search more efficiently, you need to take good care of yourself!”
“Kyuu!!”
“Now then, shall we get started?”
Today’s ingredient is giant glacier elephant meat! It seemed like it would be a good 100 kilograms, but there was no meat more suitable for X, who cooks dozens of dishes with just one ingredient.
*
“Ugh, you should eat in moderation. “You can still fly, right?”
“Kyuut. “Kyuuu….”
“I’m so glad that everything I eat actually goes to my stats.”
Poke.
X stabbed Yongyong’s stomach, which was swollen as if it was about to explode, with his finger.
As a result of eating until the sun set, the two of them killed the glacier elephant on the spot.
Hehehe! There was a cold wind blowing, but X was comfortable.
‘I am now immune to the cold of the Frost Storm Cliffs.’
Cold resistance has increased significantly through heavenly cooking. Previously, the cold could not be prevented even with heavenly cooking, but when glacial elephant was used as an ingredient, it became effective.
chuck! X enthusiastically equipped the weapon.
“Let’s pay for our meals properly, you and me.”
“Kyuut!!”
Yongyong flapped his wings vigorously.
The glacier was dark and quiet. All I could see or hear was the sound of the wind. A regular user would have done something else out of boredom, but X was different.
“Where are these guys hiding?”
Even in this situation, X was full of motivation.
It had to be that way. When you discover a new monster, you can gain experience points as well as ingredients.
Moreover, if drop items are provided, it may attract high-level users in the future. There was no benefit like this.
But for some reason, there was nothing to see.
“It seems like we’ve come quite far…”
Because of the darkness, visibility was limited. However, considering the time, it was clear that we were quite far away from the iceberg.
But somehow the monsters couldn’t even see their noses.
It seems that the same thing happened to Yongyong, who was scouting from the sky.
“Kyuu kyuu.”
Yongyong shook his head cutely. This means that nothing special was found. To X, there was no sound more like a thunderbolt.
“…Do you really mean the end of glacial elephants?”
The moment when the puffy golden dream was about to disappear like bubbles.
In the distance, a light appeared in the darkness.
“what?”
X and Yongyong narrowed their eyes without saying who would go first.
The light getting closer was unusual. It was a soft but large green light.
The corners of X’s mouth rose.
‘Anyway, it’s good news, right?’
I just walked for a few hours, and although I didn’t know what I saw, I was impressed.
X didn’t hesitate. I immediately used the fully prepared bear stance and strengthened my strength.
“…?!”
A green light approaches quietly and secretly. But when it got closer, I could recognize it.
That thing, covered in frost here and there, shattered, and even with its mast broken… was a ship!
X stuttered in an unexpected situation.
“You ghost ship?!”
I could only think of it as a wrecked ghost ship floating leisurely on the ice. Could it be because of this ghost ship that there were no monsters around?
At a time when X was shocked, Tiroring! A notification came to mind.
[You have discovered the ‘Ghost Ship Colosseus’ for the first time in Fate World!]
[Your reputation increases by 1000 points!]
[Experience gain near the Colosseus increases by 20% for 72 hours!] [For 72 hours, the amount of experience gained near the
Colosseus increases by 20%! The item acquisition rate near Lake Seuss increases by 20%!]
*
In the current Fate World, few people know of the existence of the ancient kingdom. It’s natural. No matter how brilliant the civilization was, an unfathomably long time has passed.
However, if we go back in time, there will be people who know information about the ancient kingdom before it was completely forgotten.
Adventurers who were fascinated by the brilliant civilization and heritage of the ancient kingdom and set out to find them who had disappeared to nowhere!
The crew of the Colosseus were some of them.
They fought against the harsh environment to find the legacy of an ancient kingdom buried in glaciers. But it was impossible for humans to overcome nature.
Even though I cast strengthening magic to break the ice and advance, it only lasted for a moment. The cold of the frost storm cliff froze the sea again, as if laughing at the challenge.
Broken masts and smashed ships.
Even the appearance of the sailors turned into mummies.
Their fate was clearly visible on the ship.
X cautiously opened his mouth.
“Yongyong, what on earth is going on?”
“Kyuu kyuu kyuu?”
Was it the calm before the storm?
With the sudden appearance of the ghost ship, X had no time to think about its identity.
Shoo shoo shoo shoo.
Moreover, even legless ghosts pour out of the ghost ship with weapons.
X muttered as he raised his equipment.
“Actually, what is there to think about?”
Experience points and item acquisition rates increased through the first discovery buff. Whatever it is, if you just hit it, it’s a profitable business! Immediately, X’s eyebrows twitched.
“…But isn’t this a bit excessive?”
Shoo shoo shoo shoo.
The procession of ghosts continued. The number of ghosts pouring out to match the size of the large ship was no joke. The number of ghosts that came down to the ice seemed to be well over a hundred.
But it wasn’t X who was intimidated.
Bang bang!
X lightly tapped his shield.
“I guess I can practice this for free.”
An opportunity to become proficient in using a shield unintentionally presented itself. I wasn’t going to miss this opportunity. X raised his head and looked above the ship.
I saw the ghost of a captain wearing a torn hat.
X playfully warned him.
“You know there’s no running away after coming this far, right?”
The captain raised his hand as if he understood.
Shoo shoo shoo!
Countless ghosts rushed towards X.
The battle has begun.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
