same time.
Whoaaaahhh-!
[Oh my!]
Ber's antennae next to Suho twitched, then he urgently looked back at Suho and shouted..
[Solord! Suddenly the forest is shaking.!]
At the same time, a huge magical storm blew in from deep in the forest..
Guardian's shadow soldiers were thrown back by a shock wave that was on a different level from the previous snowstorm..
Suho quickly evacuated the remaining shadow soldiers except for the shadow minotaur into his shadow and shouted..
“Minnow! tau!”
[Mmmuuu-!]
At Suho's command, Mino and Tau each hugged Suho and Sirka with one arm and slammed their opposite fists into the floor..
Kuang-!
Mino and Tau's strong forearms were buried deep beneath the snow-covered ground like the roots of an old tree..
Thanks to that, Suho and Sirka barely survived being swept away by the magic storm, and Suho glared beyond the blizzard with narrowed eyes..
“What happened suddenly??”
[It seems like a clash of great powers occurred in the distance.!]
Ber clung to Suho's head and answered while glaring at the same spot..
“Even the spirits are confused!”
As Sirka said, it seemed to have nothing to do with the spirits of the Echo Forest..
But the problem was that this storm was not a one-time event, but an ongoing one..
I was already in a hectic mood due to the snowstorm, but with this situation on top, moving forward itself became difficult..
But Suho had no intention of stopping the advance..
“Maybe there's a mother beyond this storm.”
[I think so too..]
“It goes through like this..”
[Mmmuuu!]
[Mooooooo!]
At Suho's resolute will, Mino and Tau roared and raised their whole body's strength..
Then, holding Suho and Sirka in his arms, he fell flat on the ground and began to crawl forward at a stride..
Although the speed was slow, thanks to this magic storm, the attacks of the spirits stopped for a while, so the movement itself felt easier..
As I continued to go through the magical storm,.
Suddenly Sirka sniffed..
“Suho, there’s a strange smell nearby.?”
“what smell?”
“I don't know. This is my first time coming here too. however… … It's a smell that somehow feels warm..”
“Warm smell? What kind of expression is that??”
It's a warm smell?
Suho was skeptical at first, but soon realized that it might not be nonsense..
Ice elves are completely different from humans..
It might be that he feels something that humans cannot feel..
As his thoughts reached that point, something suddenly occurred to Suho's mind..
A quest that arrived immediately after arriving at the village of ice elves..
[Quest: Spring of Echo Forest]
A mysterious spring is hidden somewhere in the Echo Forest..
Find the spring and get the reward.
‘……I was ignoring it because I wanted to find my mother first..’
Suho wasn't paying much attention after receiving the quest..
The purpose of coming to the glacier dungeon was to find clues about my mother..
There was no time to waste on a quest where you had no idea how long it would take..
‘In this cold, everything, including the spring water, must have frozen, so how are you supposed to find it if it's covered in snow??’
however.
‘If the spring water didn't freeze even in this cold?’
warm smell.
The things that can keep you warm in this cold are quite limited..
‘heat spring.’
Or, hot springs.
If it was a thermal spring formed from hot groundwater, it was clear that it would not freeze even in this cold and would exist as spring water..
“The direction from which that warm smell is felt is?”
“Where is it? Umm, just a moment. I'm not sure because it's a smell mixed in with this magic storm.…….”
In response to Suho's question, Sirka frowned and continued to sniff..
“I can't gauge the distance, but... … It's clear we're headed in the right direction.”
“okay? If the direction is the same, if we keep going like this, we will meet..”
Even if the direction was slightly different, Suho, who had boldly tried to ignore the quest, nodded..
And after a while.
A hot spring appeared before Suho’s eyes..
The sight of the hot spring steaming up in this bitter cold was a mysterious and extremely beautiful sight in itself..
Moreover, strangely enough, as I got closer to the hot spring, the magical storm that was fluttering like crazy seemed to have weakened a bit..
“There was a real hot spring.”
However, Suho's reaction upon discovering the hot spring was calm..
Quest or something, I was on my way to find my mother right now, so there was no time to leisurely look at hot springs like this..
‘Moreover, the quest difficulty is so easy that I have no expectations about the reward itself..’
Wasn’t that the case just looking at this Kasaka quest?.
If the quest difficulty was too easy, the rewards didn't seem to help much..
However, unlike Suho's reaction, Sirka's expression when she discovered the hot springs in Echo Forest was filled with astonishment..
“oh my god! This is……!”
Sirka couldn't help but be surprised when she realized the identity of the energy felt in the hot spring..
“I can feel Silad’s energy here! No way, this is Silad’s……?!”
“Shillard? who is that?”
At Suho's question, Sirka swallowed dry saliva and looked at Suho's face with a serious expression..
“……Silad, King of the Yetis and Lord of the Cold.”
“……!”
[kiek?]
“I guess this is the place where our now dead king stayed..”
Suho and Ber looked at each other with wide eyes at Sirka's answer..
Come to think of it, this Echo Forest is a sanctuary for the ice elves..
It was not strange for there to be a place associated with the Lord of the Cold, the king of the Yetis..

ring!
[‘Item: Obtained ‘Spring Water of Echo Forest’.]
[You have completed the quest.]
The quest was completed the moment Suho purchased an empty potion bottle from the store window and filled it with hot spring water..
For some reason, it occurred to me that the quest was too easy these days, but when I think about it again, this quest was definitely not easy..
Wandering aimlessly through this terrible place, looking for a spring of water whose location I don't even know where it is..
Isn’t that why Suho didn’t even care about this quest from the beginning?.
[Quest completion reward has arrived.]
[Would you like to check your reward?] (Y/N)
Before checking the reward, Suho first checked the information on ‘Item: Spring Water of Echo Forest’.
[Item: Echo Forest Spring Water]
Difficulty of obtaining : ??
Type: Consumables
This is the mysterious spring water of the Echo Forest..
When consumed or applied to the body, it has a neutralizing effect..
“Ah, it's some kind of detox potion..”
It was said to be a mysterious spring water, and it seemed to have the effect of neutralizing toxins..
It was strange, but a guardian with the protection of plague had this decoding ability, but it was mana..
But that thought changed 180 degrees the moment I saw the quest reward..
[The following rewards are available:.]
Reward: ‘Runestone: Crafting the Divine Beast of Life’’
“hmm? It is a skill that creates the divine beast of life.?”
Even from the name, an unusual skill emerged..
And Ver, who knew exactly what the name meant, looked very surprised and said,.
[Solord! The divine beast of life……!]
Sometimes it is much easier to see item information directly rather than a description..
While listening to Ber's explanation, Suho broke the rune stone and acquired the skill..
ring.
[‘Item: Acquired the ‘Divine Beast of Life’ production skill..]
Then, a [Production Skill] box appeared at the very end of Suho's skill window..
[Crafting Skills]
Consumables: God of Life (1/3)
As Suho's eyes looked at the 'God of Life', an explanation for it came to mind..
[Item: Divine Beast of Life]
Difficulty of acquisition: S
Type: Consumables
It is a mysterious potion that cures all diseases with strong magical power..
Full effect occurs only when the entire bottle is used.
“It cures all diseases?!”
[That's right. The Divine Beast of Life is a legendary elixir that is completely different from simple healing potions..]
Ver was nodding his head in agreement from the side as Suho's eyes widened..
Suho's expression, who had not had high expectations for this quest, became quite serious..
Of course it had to be that way..
When healers first emerged after the cataclysm, the world's attention was focused on those healers..
A skill that can heal others, how amazing is this?.
People went crazy over its amazing ability that far surpassed the level of modern medicine..
But unfortunately, the healers' healing skills were not omnipotent..
Excellent healers could even heal wounds that could be considered fatal, but very few healers were capable of such treatment..
Also, no matter how good a healer he was, even if he was an S-class healer, there were limitations..
“But this cures all diseases, so it’s literally the elixir of eternal life, right? Ah, isn’t it ‘eternal’?.”
[Something like elixir of fire is a truly useless ability. Rather, when you die, you can become a shadow soldier.…….]
“Anyway, I need to get as much of this as possible. But what are the other ingredients??”
Suho immediately checked the ingredients of the sacred water of life..
[divine beast of life]
-ingredient
Purified Blood of the Demon King (0/1)
fragment of the world tree (0/1)
Spring of Echo Forest (1/1)
“The purified blood of the Demon King? fragment of the world tree?”
Suho, who checked the ridiculous names of ingredients, made an expression of bewilderment..
Now I see that Echo Forest's spring water was the easiest ingredient to obtain..
I don't even know where the World Tree grows..
Besides, doesn't the term "Demon King" mean the lord of demons?.
“I heard the Demon King died a long time ago? Where do you get this blood??”
[I have a good idea..]
For a moment, Ber had a sinister expression and his eyes flashed..
[After making Esil a demon king, you draw his blood..]
“Oh, that will work..”
Suho nodded, understanding the evil plan..
Esil was the only demon noble in existence and the only candidate for king of demons..
It was not yet known whether Esil could become the monarch's vessel, but it was clear that it was the most likely possibility..
So now there is only one ingredient left.
“If we just find the world tree, we can create the divine tree of life..”
Meanwhile, the shadow soldiers were already diligently pumping 'Echo Forest spring water' into empty potion bottles according to the guardian's orders..
I couldn't stay here forever and waste time, so I had to hurry..
But while Suho was like this.
Next to him, Sirka was looking around in amazement at the energy of the monarch of the cold that could be felt in the hot spring..
Then at some point.
“…….”
Sirka's eyes became hazy and lost focus..
Their expressions were similar to those of ice elves possessed by the spirits of the Echo Forest, and as if truly possessed, Sirka slowly began to approach the hot springs..
Suho, who discovered the scene a little too late, called Sirka..
“What are you doing? If you get wet, it will only get colder later.…….”
with a splash.
It's already late.
The moment Sirka dipped her feet into the steamy hot springs..
Whoaaaahhh-!
Suddenly, a tremendous amount of light began to emanate from Sirka's body..
