Chapter 12
As Hawar said, even the North Sea Indians don't see well..
It was all the same as a monster from a legend..
“He is very strong and has a nimble body.!”
“How strong is your body?……”
“It is resistant to negative vibrations?”
Even the elite of the North Sea, the warriors of the Ice Palace, stuck out their tongues while fighting the Yeti..
There was no excitement at first witnessing the legend..
Instead, only feelings of alarm, fear, and exhaustion about the yeti remained..
When I heard the roar that started from my brain and took over my body, I thought I was going to die here, but I survived thanks to the appearance of the Sword God..
“The movement of the sword body is not even visible to the naked eye..”
“What's more terrifying is that it's not a sword, but a fighting method and a sword..”
“If the yeti is the firefly, then the sword spirit is the sun..”
Geomsin appeared like a ghost at the moment of crisis and helped..
When I punched it, its head broke, and when I held out my palm, my intestines vomited out..
When I lifted the sword, my body split apart..
The warriors of Binggung fought with their morale up to the end thanks to the help of the sword spirit, and soon they met the leader..
“It's a monster!”
“Oh, hell……”
“Were these monsters hiding in the land of the North Sea??”
The leader of the yetis was overwhelming just by his presence..
Just as Nak So-wol's face hardened, even the best experts in the ice palace immediately recognized her power and tensed..
“No matter how much of a sword it is……”
“I'm going to need help!”
They were about to throw themselves away to repay the help they had received so far and to restore their shattered pride..
“……”
But strangely enough, even the leader lost his life before even dividing a few sums..
‘Is Geomshin a human??’
‘Although the palace lord is also amazing,……’
‘He is the best swordsman in the central region, no, he is the best swordsman in the world.!’
I couldn't even figure out how to swing the sword..
I gaped at the difference in skills that went beyond the wall..
I was so scared of how much electricity it would cost..
“Crrrrrrr.!“
“Kuoooo!”
Meanwhile, the group of Yetis, of which only about a hundred were left, soon lost their morale and were defeated..
When we lost the leader who had ruled the snowy field for a long time, our fighting spirit quickly disappeared..
In the end, about fifty men chose to run away in the order of smallest size..
“catch it!”
The advance team did not want to miss the Yeti..
Being attacked in a mountain range where just walking is difficult was not an option..
Just the clash with the Snow Flower tribe that we have to face in the future is a headache..
It was terrible to imagine a yeti blinded by revenge..
“Damn it, it's falling apart!”
“chase!”
The scouting party led by Makmar gave chase with excellent light attack..
Killed ten in the process..
However, the chase was not that easy..
This is because the Yetis are all highly intelligent, so they disperse and run away, making good use of the terrain..
Especially when I chased blindly and almost fell off the cliff without seeing it, I felt cold..
“stop chasing!”
Realizing that further pursuit would be difficult, Ju Seo-cheon gave an order, and the Yeti's nightmare finally came to an end..
“Scout leader, how much have you missed??”
“It's thirty.”
Makmar replied as if he was sorry..
Respect for the strong was evident in those eyes..
“That's fine..
Since we lost the leader anyway and realized the power gap, we won't be able to attack him..”
The society of beasts is a place where power is as important as the martial arts, or rather the demonic religion..
Power is everything, have everything.
No matter how hungry you are, it's not as important as your life, so they won't approach you easily..
“Good. Then, dismember the yeti's fur and meat from the edible parts.”
Although a human being entered, the yeti was an animal even though it resembled a human being..
Even if there was some resistance, it was not a situation that should be overshadowed by the North Sea people suffering from severe food shortages..
“All right.”
Ju Seo-cheon asked Mak Mar and Dong Seol-ryeon to clean up after him, and then went to the leader who had a hole in his chest..
“Let's see……”
He squatted down in front of the corpse and cut off the fur and flesh..
Thanks to the inspection, there were no obstructions..
“Definitely around this time... … Oh, there you are.”
A deep smile naturally spread across my lips..
A round lump was found under the intestines near the lower abdomen..
I took it out, rolled it on the snow, and wiped off the blood, revealing a pure white inner layer radiating chills..
Like a spirit creature, it had inner altars..
This was a decent amount..
“lieutenant commander……”
“yes.”
The Major appeared as if he had leapt from the shadows..
“Hold out your hand.”
“yes.”
“two hands.”
The major held out both palms..
Ju Seo-cheon placed the Yeti's inner altar on So-ryeong's palm..
I saw her hands turning white..
“Keep that with you and take it when you're told to take it..”
number of people.”
The major nodded with an indifferent expression..
I thought about handing it to Nak So-wol, but since it hasn't been long since I took the Inmyeonjiju's Naedan, I handed it to the major this time..
Excessive use of elixirs or medicines is not good..
It would be difficult if something went wrong, so I decided to have the major take it..
“By the way, how much Yeti pelt should I take??
I can't make it and wear it right away.……”
Joo Seocheon muttered with a worried face..
“If that's the case, you don't have to worry..”
Hawar heard Joo Seocheon mumbling and spoke to him..
“Leave it to us.”
Winter clothing is essential to withstand the cold of the North Sea..
I was trained from a young age because if something goes wrong, it could be life-threatening..
Especially in the case of people who were out for a long time, such as guides or scouts, their skills were very outstanding..
“That's good. Then, we will find a place to repair, treat the injured, make clothes, and then set off again..”
“All right.”
“Oh, and how long does it take to reach the Snow Flower Tribe's camp??”
“It's normal now, so all you have to do is go back down..”
“All I have to do is wait for the follow-up team to contact me..
Well then, let’s get fully prepared..”
The advance team dismembered the yeti's body..
Perhaps because the North Sea is survivalist, their dismantling skills were unusual..
After removing the meat except for the fur and inedible parts, I put it in my luggage..
In addition, they buried the deceased in the ground and prayed for their souls to rest in peace..
Despite various efforts, over 40 deaths occurred..
The yeti was stronger than I thought, so there was nothing I could do..
Still, I had to take comfort in the fact that the damage was small compared to the enemy..
“Is it going to end like this without a funeral??”
Luo Sowol asked.
Her lonely eyes turned to the warrior in the ice palace buried in the snow..
“Is there a problem??”
Hawar tilted his head and asked a question..
“no.”
Nak So-wol shook his head left and right with a bitter smile..
‘As expected, even though we belong to the martial arts group, the culture is different..’
It’s not for nothing that there are few people in the North Sea..
This frigid land is called the land of death and takes dozens of lives every day..
Dying was a familiar thing.
In the case of the central plains, corpses are cremated or buried deep in the ground due to concerns about the smell of rotting corpses, poison, and other diseases, but in this frozen land, there was no need to worry about such things..
Blood, flesh, disease, and poison freeze in less than an hour in the face of extreme cold..
Nak So-wol looked at the snow-covered grave for a while, then put her hands together and prayed for peace..
Meanwhile, the advance team spent about a day treating the wounded and making winter clothing..
No matter how dexterous or skilled you were, it took some time because it took about four hundred and sixty people to make it..
For reference, there were 150 furs dismantled from yetis, but since each animal was so large, the number was sufficient..
People who did not have the talent to make clothes, such as Ju Seo-cheon, Nak So-wol, and So-ryeong, cooked with Yeti meat..
“It's a bit harsh, but... … It's worth eating.”
“bear meat?”
Yeti meat was similar to bear meat.
It had a stinging smell characteristic of a carnivore, and the meat was a bit tough..
Still, it was not overly tough and had a chewy texture, so it was pretty good..
“It would be nice to be able to taste the magnificence.……”
Joo Seocheon licked his appetite and expressed regret..
Magnificent, the soles of the bear's paws are a delicacy served only on the emperor's table..
However, the yeti's hands and feet were closer to a human or monkey than a bear, so they could not be eaten..
Afterwards, the advance team filled their stomachs, donned their new winter clothes, and crossed the top of the mountain..
The weather wasn't that good, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I passed through the ice and snow storm..
“It's not as cold as I thought?”
“I didn't know why the yeti was fine in the cold, but this was the reason..”
Winter clothing made using Yeti fur was well received..
The fur was thick and blocked all the wind like a knife..
It was nice that it was very warm inside too..
The downside was that it was heavy.
* * *
By the time the advance team crossed the southern mountain range and reached Dongsan, the rear team led by Naengakbi was also heading towards Seosan..
Because they were latecomers and it was a large army, the pace of advance was not good, but they still moved forward without much damage..
Also, to avoid the presence of the advance team being discovered, they moved using a route other than the southern mountain range..
However, unfortunately, as it was part of a large army in the North Sea, it was noticed by Saha's guards and reported to the enemy..
“The owner of the ice palace has finally passed away..”
Saha's leader, Nor, stood up as if he had been waiting..
Like most powers in the North Sea, Saha also had a female leader as it was a female-centered society..
There were wrinkles on his face, and his eyes were glaring..
Stubbornness was evident in tightly closed lips..
As if to prove that he was a leader, he was wearing a gold crown on his head..
“I missed it before, but this time I'll take your life.
I will make it clear that the leader of the North Sea is me..”
After the Ice Palace's investigation team discovered the perennial ice well, Naengakbi personally visited it to destroy it..
Unfortunately, the news was already known to Saha and Seolhwa, and Naengakbi was attacked by the Yang army the moment it reached the perennial ice cap, and was eventually forced to retreat..
“How much power does it have??”
“that is… … There are only about two thousand people..”
Saha's guard captain made a strange expression..
Since the power of the Ice Palace was already known, it was strange that only 2,000 out of 3,000 moved..
I felt like it was little more than a life-or-death thing called fate..
“Heung, since there are 3,000 warriors in the Ice Palace, wouldn't it be obvious if 20,000,000 came?.
Five hundred would have been kept in the palace, and the remaining five hundred would have been selected from the elite and sent to the natives..
nothing strange.”
Since it was a three-way war, it was burdensome for the other powers to fight with all their might targeting only one location..
From the perspective of the North Sea Ice Palace, which had the greatest power, it was better to disperse its power and keep it in check rather than being stabbed in the back..
“Permanent ice crystals belong to Saha..”
* * *
A large army reaching Icheon, the late contingent and main unit climbed Seosan..
Sometimes I climbed ice walls that looked like they were carved by God, and other times I climbed hills where I had to keep looking up..
Just like the advance team experienced, a storm of ice and snow greeted them, and even North Koreans frowned at the bitter cold..
“Ugh, it's cold. ……”
“Is it because it’s near the perennial ice well??”
“It's a notorious place in the North Sea too..”
The northernmost part of the North Sea, Isan Ice Valley, is cold even in the North Sea..
It was already unusually cold, so it was even colder..
“Is the advance team okay?……”
Seolyoung, the leader of the North Sea combat unit, Beipungdae, muttered as if he was worried..
Silver hair down to the collarbone sparkled every time it fluttered in the wind..
“Unlike the main unit, there will be less food.……”
I'm eating until my stomach explodes.
I was even thinking about delicacies..
“Due to the speed of the advance, I couldn't even wear winter clothes.……”
The yeti's fur is so warm it makes me sleepy..
“Lord, I don't think now is the time to worry about that..”
Dawa, a North Sea man with narrow eyes and a fox-like appearance, and one of the few male experts in the North Sea, spoke..
“Crrrrrrr!”
“Wow! keung!”
“Oooooh!”
I heard the howl of an animal from beyond the hill..
“A wolf……”
Seolyoung furrowed her pretty eyebrows and moved her hand to her waist..
The atmosphere of the latecomers also became tense..
Leaving footprints in the ankle-deep snowdrifts, we climbed the hill and for the first time we saw a vast plain..
If I hadn't been heading to the battlefield, I might have inadvertently expressed my admiration..
The mountain visible beyond the plain was Mother Nature itself, overwhelming people, and its majesty was enough to leave one spellbound..
The enormity of the mountain covered with pure white snow was beyond words, and the clouds above were so mysterious that immortals and fairies could come down at any moment..
At the end of this basin, you can see a valley made of ice where perennial ice wells are located, but the problem is the land before that..
“Saha tribe!”
A tent or an ice house could be seen on the land..
And in front of him was an enemy army full of hostility and a gray wolf..
The reason Seolyeong heard the wolf's howl and was cautious was not because she was afraid of the wolf, but because its owner was Saha..
“Lord of the North Wind, send a signal..”
The center of the main unit, cold and evil, spoke with an expressionless expression..
All right.”
Seolyoung put her hand on her left chest as if she was going to obey the command, bowed to Naengakbi, and then looked straight ahead again..
“whole army!”
The Great Lord of the North Wind screamed at the top of his voice..
“Show me the power of Bingungung!”
* * *
There was a common basin located halfway between Dongsan and Seosan, which were separated by a valley made of ice..
And if you go through this basin to the center, a steep ice wall appears, and the valley in question appears below it..
The mountains are mountains, but there is also a valley in between, so if we screamed at each other, we could hear it clearly from the other side..
On the basin of the hill there were round houses made of snow piled like bricks..
“Wow!”
As the shouts of Binggung, heard from Seosan, spread like echoes, warriors rushed out from the Sulhwa tribe's camp..
It was a dazzling response, as if I had been waiting for it..
“You came.”
I heard a thin voice.
The warriors who heard that voice bowed down..
Respect was evident in the gesture..
Step by step.
A small person came out between them..
Unusually, he was wearing a colorfully painted wooden mask, so I couldn't tell what it looked like..
The clothes were also thick winter clothes made of fur and leather, typical of North Korean people, so the body shape was unrecognizable..
All North Sea people are beautiful, and men who look like women are also common, so I couldn't tell their gender..
“Shaman.”
He was a leader, shaman, and shaman in folk tales..
Unlike southern Manchuria, which is said to be the home of sorcery development, there were very few shamans in the North Sea..
Perhaps because of this, the status of shamans in the North Sea was very high, and they were revered as if they were gods..
“The cursed marauders in the garden were blinded by greed and began to fight..”
A mockery flowed from the shaman's mouth, as if it was ugly..
“Children, prepare to leave the basin..
While those bitches fight blinded by greed, we must go get our mother, the source of the sea..
heading to the valley.”
“Leader. Excuse me, may I speak to you??”
“I allow it..”
“I'm worried that they left us alone and only attacked Saha..
Could it be some kind of trap?.”
“That's a good point. It's as you said.”
“They would certainly have sent people to this garden to keep us in check. But there is nothing to worry about.”
“that is ……?”
“I knew it would happen and I prepared everything..”
A grim smile flowed from the face hidden behind the wooden mask..
“Hehehehe……”
The snow giant, a spirit creature hidden in the southern mountain range, including the eastern mountain range, was stimulated with magic to move..
“snowman……!”
The warrior who asked the question let out an exclamation..
“Oooh……”
“Moving a yeti……”
“It is indeed Shaman.!”
The legendary monster of the North Sea, the Yeti.
The Sulhwa people also knew how great their power was..
These days, they haven't even seen a yeti, but in the past, they used to deal with a yeti to prove themselves as warriors..
“Even if they sent elite soldiers from the Ice Palace, it would be difficult to deal with the snow giant, the owner of the mountain, in this abnormal climate. You're probably struggling by now..”
The shaman walked forward with light steps, as if taking a walk, and spread his arms wide in pride..
“Come on, walk with snow as your shoes.!
Take the power of the mother sleeping beneath the ice, and teach me who the leader of the North Sea is.!”
“Oooooh!”
“Tell the greed-blinded plunderers who have defiled the land given to them by our founders who owns the North Sea.!”
The Shaman's ominous and majestic voice echoed across the North Sea..
“We, who were born in the waters of the North Sea, have nature as our friend, and control even the snow giants, are the true leaders.!”
The area around the eyes of the wooden mask glowed brightly..
“Hohohoho!”
* * *
“hmm……”
Makmar, wearing a Yeti fur pelt, drooled and looked behind his back..
“That's right, what should I do??”
“I think I've said everything, so let's go now..”
Joo Seocheon swung his sword as if telling him to go quickly..
One hour ago, the advance party arrived at Dongsan Basin early and waited for a signal from Seosan..
In short, it meant watching the movements of the Snow Flower people from beginning to end..
I didn't know that he had stimulated the yeti with a spell, but it doesn't matter now..
The snow giant was dismantled into meat and fur..
“let's go―!”
Dong Seol-ryeon, the leader of the vanguard, shouted and leaped forward..
“Wow!”
After that, the shouts of four hundred and sixty people followed..
In a forest covered in snow, the North Sea Ice Palace ran toward the basin at the bottom of the hill, letting out a roar..
As it was downhill, the speed was amazing..
“What's going on?!”
“what!”
“back!”
The Snow Flower tribe was startled by the sudden shout..
No matter how good this area is for sound to travel, if it comes from behind your back, it's wrong..
just as expected.
Everyone seemed shaken by the appearance of the enemy coming out of the forest..
In particular, the shaman, the person who induced the snow giant to use magic, was greatly embarrassed..
“Dongseolryeon?”
Dongseolnyeon is a famous fisherman even in the North Sea..
As he was a powerful figure in the North Sea Ice Palace, his face was well known..
Shaman saw Dongseolryeon and recognized the identity of the attacker at a glance..
“Nonsense!”
Even if you look at it roughly, the force was close to 500..
I couldn't understand how this many people could safely step on the hill..
“You won't be able to come here because of the snow giant.!”
The yeti is very shy and avoids people, but it is different now..
He was starving and was induced by witchcraft..
As they are animals, their sense of smell and hearing are dozens of times that of humans, so there was no way they could have missed this many people..
“what the hell is going on……”
When my mind was filled with questions, I realized that the Beihai Ice Palace's attire looked vaguely familiar..
“snow giant?”
Shaman's voice was filled with disbelief and astonishment..
“come!”
“Protect the Shaman!”
Coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo coo.
The snow mountain shook.
Even though there were four hundred and sixty people, not one thousand, the vibration caused was unusual..
The Beihai Ice Palace came down from the hill, raising a dust cloud, or rather a snow cloud, and collided with the Snow Flower Tribe..
“die!”
“Wow!”
“Ouch!”
As soon as 460 multi-ethnic people and 2,000 indigenous people collided, screams erupted louder than the sound of metal..
The house built of snow was trampled and destroyed by the warriors of the Ice Palace..
Enemies and allies are intertwined.
The sight of blood spreading across the pure white snow was like ink scattered on drawing paper..
“push it!”
Dongxuelian's voice echoed throughout the mountain..
“Oooh!”
As the vanguard opened the way, the North Sea Ice Palace followed with a shout..
It's not moving randomly..
Rushed into a wedge formation that concentrated the breakthrough power..
“Ahhhhh!”
“Wow!”
Although it was a battlefield made up of women, the horrors were no different from the central plains..
When cut with a sword, internal organs spilled out, and when an artery was pierced, hot blood overflowed..
Having long hair was a hindrance..
He was grabbed by the enemy, dragged in, hacked to pieces, and punched in the face, leaving bruises..
Even though she was a beautiful person from the North Sea, it only took a moment for her face to turn miserable..
“What are you doing?!”
Between the shouts to raise morale and the screams filled with pain, the shaman's stern voice rang out..
‘If we leave it like this, it will be annihilated..’
The shaman was shocked to learn that the group of yetis he trusted had been hunted, but came to his senses when he heard screams..
It was surprising, but I couldn't be surprised forever..
“The enemy's number is only a little over four hundred.!”
The Seolhwa tribe is Icheon..
The power difference was more than double.
“Show me the power of those who walk in the snow!”
The shaman lifted his wooden mask and shouted.
“Oooooh!”
“Stop it!”
The shaman's voice gave strength to the Snow Flower people..
It's not just about raising morale..
Increases fighting spirit, eliminates fear, and reduces pain sensation.
It was a spell that directly influenced the brain to control sensations and emotions..
A shaman is a symbolic being and at the same time a magician who brings about harmony in heaven and earth..
the power was real.
What was disappointing was that it couldn't affect the enemy's brain..
The Snowflake people hesitated for a moment, but the warriors, backed by the shaman's magic, launched an active offensive..
“where!”
This is not the Dongseolryun that will give up its long-awaited victory..
As the leader of the North Sea Ice Palace, he showed a fighting force worthy of him..
As ice flowed out, the sword body glowed softly..
Suddenly!
The sword of Dongseolryeon was as harsh and bitterly cold as the cold snow of the northern wind..
Any contact with the skin would result in frostbite..
The body becomes stiff and the heart rate slows down..
The heat caused by the war returned to its original state and became cold..
pabababat!
Every time the best swordsman in the North Sea moved his hand, there were screams..
The blood drops that spewed out like fog turned into snowflakes..
“Dongseolryeon!”
A snow-white warrior with a severed arm turned and slashed his bone sword horizontally..
I tried my best to get revenge..
Chaeng!
Unfortunately revenge did not come true.
The female warrior of the Snow Flower race distorted her face and shouted..
“Like a man!”
It was Makmar who blocked the sword made from whale bone..
Makmar deflected the female warrior's sword, then spun around in his place and decapitated the enemy..
It was a quiet yet quick movement like an assassin..
Reconnaissance was the main unit, but since he was the leader, his martial arts skills were also unusual..
“You predatory bitches.!”
Tish Shark, the great warrior of the Snowflake tribe, stepped forward and shouted..
“I'll kill you!”
The scar engraved with a claw from above the left eye to near the right cheek is impressive..
she threw herself away.
The ground shook every time I walked, as if my weight was as large as my body..
The ally's heart also pulsed in sync with the vibration..
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
The warrior of the Ice Palace standing in front screamed in horror..
I wanted to dodge by throwing my body to the side, but I was so scared that my legs wouldn't move at all..
On the other hand, an eerie smile spread across Tish Shark's mouth..
I saw the enemy in front of me split like firewood..
Jjaeaeng!
“no?”
sparks flew.
A friction sound was heard as weapons collided..
Tish Shark's eyes also opened wide..
“Please step away!”
Luo Xiaoyue pushed away Tishshark's tibial sword..
I didn't say this to my enemy.
He was a friend in danger..
“block my sword?”
Tish Shark's face turned red..
Anger surged at the shame of being blocked by a nameless person..
“Come on, let’s see if we can stop this.!”
Tish Shark snorted and raised the Yin Han Jingi..
Regardless of whether they are indigenous, foreign, or multi-ethnic, the majority of North Sea people practice Binghan Gong. So did she.
As I raised my strength from the bottom, I thought a pure white haze would form on the tibia, but I was able to do it..
Damn it!
White frost covered Naksowol’s sword..
It was evidence that the enemy's air power had penetrated..
“how……”
Tish Shark sneered and then closed his mouth..
This was because the sword, which should have frozen in an instant, blew away the frost in an instant and gave off a plum scent..
What stood out most was the concentration of energy on the sword..
Tishshark was horrified when he realized what it was..
“oh my god!”
