Chapter 128 – 128. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family
128. Maehwa Swordsman reincarnated in the count family
It was night.
YuRia and I put on thick clothes and got ready to go out. The target is, of course, Hughes Snow Mountain.
It is not a good idea to leave for Hughes Snow Mountain at night because it is dangerous. Of course I knew that, but I couldn’t help it. If you want to act on others, you have to move at night.
I came to Hughes Snow Mountain for two purposes.
‘Travel? Why would I travel to a place like this? A boring place with only snowy mountains to see.’
If the real trip was the purpose, he would have taken a rest in a decent place near Count Pruckus, even if it wasn’t Hughes Snow Mountain.
I tightened up the warm winter clothes I brought from reality and kept her dagger intact, then looked at YuRia.
Instead of the maid outfit she always wore, her coat and cape covered her entire body. She even wears a black mask, so nothing is exposed except for her blue eyes. She was equipped with weapons such as swords, guns, daggers, and axes at her waist.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes. All necessities were put in the shadows.”
I nodded. Even if she didn’t take care of her daily necessities, she didn’t have a problem because I had a smart phone.
“You have to be back by noon tomorrow at the latest. Let’s go.”
“Yes. Master.”
We hid our presence and went out of the mansion. Then I turned a little and headed towards Hughes Snow Mountain. The reason I didn’t head right away was to leave no trace. Our traces may be found by the knights tomorrow, making things a hassle.
I took something out of my inventory at the entrance to Hughes Snow Mountain.
“Master. That?”
“This? Snowmobile. It takes a lot of time and is hard to just run. It wasn’t as expensive as I thought.”
It is a two person snowmobile. There are skis in the front and an infinite track in the back. This is something I got from the ‘Vampire Detective’ world. It is not an item with special power, so even if it is used in another world, its performance does not deteriorate.
I put on my helmet and got behind the wheel. YuRia sat behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist.
We started climbing Mt. Hughes by snowmobile. It was definitely faster and more comfortable than walking or running.
‘We need to find a rock that looks like an ogre face. In the original work, it was said that it was halfway up Hughes Snow Mountain.’
But soon after, a problem arose.
It wasn’t snowmobiles or our problem. The snowmobile was running fine.
“Master. Three ice trolls are chasing you from the right.”
“Ice trolls?”
I turned my head to the right.
A large ice troll with blue skin was chasing us at high speed. I narrowed my brows.
Ice roll. Its name sounds plausible, but its physical abilities are almost identical to those of normal trolls. The only difference from normal trolls is that they have adapted to the cold environment. A monster that exists in real life. Perhaps the author used real monsters as they were in the original work.
‘Trolls are D-class monsters. It’s not a big risk to us.’
If it were me now, I would be able to deal with 3 trolls without difficulty, provided that I use mana. YuRia had nothing to say.
“It’s going to keep coming. Intrusive…. Kill him.”
“Yes.”
Yuria raised her pistol and aimed it at her trolls. Right before she pulls her trigger, her magic circle is drawn in front of her muzzle. When the magic circle was completely drawn, she pulled the trigger.
Bang bang bang!
The fired bullet passed through the magic circle. It is a power-enhancing magic circle. Normal pistols can’t damage trolls, so you need to strengthen them with magic.
The bullet pierced the weak spot in the troll’s body, through the eye sockets, and penetrated the brain. Three trolls collapse on the snowfield.
“As expected, it’s Yuria.”
“No big deal… Master! Before!”
YuRia said urgently. I found myself at the front a little later than YuRia. I couldn’t help it. I can’t see through the darkness as well as YuRia.
“Shit. What else is that?”
There was something whitish on the front. It is motionless in the air, staring at us. It doesn’t look that dangerous. Because not moving means we can dodge sideways.
“It is a demon. I must have made a fuss.”
“He’s not properly formed. There is no need to go back.”
Evil spirits are monsters with severe individual differences. Proper guys are tricky to deal with even veteran hunters. However, the opponent is an evil spirit like whitish smoke that has no form. There’s nothing special about it except that it doesn’t work with normal physical attacks.
“I will handle it.”
Yuria held her dagger in her hand.
A blue aura forms on the blade of the dagger.
Woo woo woo.
I didn’t slow down the snowmobile. The moment the snowmobile passed under the demon, Yuria swung her dagger.
Aaaaagh!
The evil spirit screams and disappears.
The simplest and most effective way to kill demons is to attack them with mana. It is not possible to use mana to strengthen the body like I did.
I can’t raise an aura yet, so I can’t kill evil spirits like Yuria.
‘Instead, I can kill the evil spirit with a thunderbolt.’
The thunderbolt attribute I use consumes mana and vitality. Since the source of thunderbolt is mana, you can successfully damage evil spirits by using thunderbolt.
“Aren’t there any guys chasing me now?”
“…….”
Rarely did Yuria answer my words. It’s rare. She was proof that her mind was elsewhere.
Yuria was staring diagonally to the left of her front. My gaze turns towards it.
I saw a figure on a white hill.
“… This is Yeti. It seems difficult for me to deal with.”
“Are you watching us?”
“Yes. They saw us clearly.”
Yeti shakes her hand. No, she seems to be pretending to throw something. It was dark and I couldn’t see very well.
“The ice spear is coming! To the right!”
As Yuria said, I bent the snowmobile to the right.
Puffy. Three large icicle-like ice spears stuck where we were.
I felt the tension burning my lips.
Yeti. In other words, the Yeti is a B-class or higher monster in real life. It has the ability to manipulate ice. Mostly solitary, but occasionally in groups. When in a group, it is a monster that even A-rank hunters don’t like.
‘The yeti in this world even have the ability to manipulate wind.’
Therefore, it is safe to think that the Yeti is a Class A monster. She is a monster worthy of fighting only when she is at the advanced level of Aura Expert.
“Make a U-turn on the left!”
Following Yuria’s words, I drove the snowmobile. Fluffy fluffy! The ice spear is embedded in the floor.
‘Oooh…. Just looking at it is bloody.’
I’d like to send Yeti to the Nether, but fighting isn’t easy. Plus, the Yeti is so far away that I can barely see it. Even if you fight, there is not much chance of winning.
Woo woo woo woo woo.
A wolf howl was heard. I reflexively looked up at the sky. Today is the full moon. It’s a perfect day to shiver.
‘Wolves in Hughes Snow Mountain… Dire Wolf.’
It’s a C-class monster.
I looked in the direction the sound was coming from. 20 dadier wolves are running towards us. Dire wolves are individually weaker than trolls, but always act in groups and are agile.
Write it down.
Even evil spirits can be seen popping up here and there. They have a clearer body than the whitish ones from before.
“Seven Ice Trolls and a group of Ice Boars are coming from the left.”
“Did you even smell the wild boar? It feels like a great restaurant.”
I pretended to be carefree, but my insides are burning. It is a crisis of desperation. If we stop here, we will be eaten by monsters.
‘Fuck. I never thought it would be like this.’
It didn’t end here. Naturally, monsters appeared from the front as well. I didn’t have to worry too much about the guys that came out from the front thanks to Yuria’s quick handling, but the monsters chasing them were a problem.
It’s already over 80 monsters.
‘As time goes on, more will come. It would have been better if it was daytime…. Did you decide to move at night for no reason?’
Fortunately, the Yeti started throwing ice spears at the monsters, not at us. From the Yeti’s point of view, we and the monsters would only be seen as the same prey, so we started catching things that were easier to catch.
‘It’s nice to be far away. Maybe the Yeti doesn’t know we’re human.’
If they knew we were human, they would have targeted us. Monsters instinctively target humans first. You can tell just by looking at the monsters following me.
‘Ogre Face Rock…. Ogre Face Rock… ! Where are you!’
Aaaaagh!
A monstrous sound was heard in the air.
Yuria, who was sitting behind me, reacted quickly. She threw her dagger towards the sky. Something fell from the sky to the floor. It is a monster bat over 1M.
‘Monsters are increasing here.’
Boo woo woo!
The snowmobile engine was noisy. If necessary, I plan to use hacking to exceed the snowmobile’s speed limit. Previously, in ‘Vampire Detective’, I learned that using hacks can temporarily transcend performance.
“… Found!”
There was an ogre face rock.
Glance. Look behind you. Still following us.
“I have to get rid of them….”
“For a while, I think we can use blackout to evade them.”
“Ask me right now!”
“Yes.”
Darkness emanated from YuRia’s shadow. It’s not magic.
Yeongcheon-ryu Amjeon (暗轉).
It emits darkness, immersing all sides in darkness. Only the caster himself can see through the darkness. Or you can see through the darkness with the ability to handle mana more than the caster, or if you have a special ability, you can see through the darkness.
I can’t use darkness because I haven’t mastered it, but I know it with knowledge.
My vision darkened. I estimated the distance in my head and put the running snowmobile into my inventory.
YuRia caught me as I was about to fall to the floor. Yuria picked me up and started running straight ahead.
“Yuria! There is a space under the front of the Ogre Face Rock, run into it!”
“All right.”
Fu-wook!
We could feel our bodies sinking into the snow and sinking downwards. On the way, the darkness lifted and the sight returned.
‘It’s the same as having a dark vision. But I can see it if I use mana.’
We were able to get on relatively hard snow. Stare at the ceiling There was a hole roughly 5m high.
“…… Won’t the monsters come after us?”
YuRia said worriedly.
I firmly shook my head.
“Nothing like that. Because this place is being guarded by a barrier. Even if the dire wolves have a wonderful sense of smell, they won’t come after us.”
“Barrier…. Is this a dungeon by any chance?
“It could be a place similar to that.”
We brushed the snow off our bodies. It’s fine when you go back. Because there is a safe secret passage. If you use it, you can quickly go to the bottom of the snow mountain. It’s a one-way street, so it’s a problem.
“Maybe this way. Let’s go.”
Stepping on the white snow, I started walking inward.
As we went inside, the snow gradually disappeared and the temperature changed to warmer.
“It is a cave. I can feel the heat.”
“One of the secrets of Hughes Snow Mountain is that it is warm inside, unlike the outside.”
We walked through a cave. It felt like living in a warm place after being in a cold place.
“…… Could this cave be warm because of the dragon vein?”
“Five. You’ll notice right away You’re right. To be precise, the place where dragon veins gather. You can call it a spirit vein. Do you remember the legend of Hughes Snow Mountain?”
“Are you talking about the story that the Ancient Silver Dragon died on the snowy mountain and the snow on the Hughes snowy mountain never melted?”
“The legend is true. To be precise, this was the silver dragon’s lair. The reason why Hughes Snow Mountain became a perpetual snow mountain is because that silver dragon made it that way with all of its last strength.”
I don’t know why because it didn’t come out of the original.
“Is the dragon rare your goal?”
“No.”
The legend of Hughes Snow Mountain is a story from a very long time ago.
Dragon rare? It must have been discovered long ago by adventurers. Right now, that place can’t be called a dragon rare.
“The dwarves who live here are the purpose.”
