Chapter 108 (The G.o.ddess’s Heart)

Huh?

Something seemed to be out of place. There was a piece of gray cloth not far from where I stood.

Not right, someone must have been here because the monsters here were all absolutely clothless. This piece of cloth could simply not be theirs.

I stealthily sneaked past through the monsters. Their level was higher than mine, so I tried to avoid them as much as possible not to get close within 5 yards to them, or else they would discover me. It was for the first time that I paid close attention to these creatures and realized that the Shivering Ice Devils didn’t have a face, the Blue Devils had such a big nostrils. But the most exaggerated one was the Yeti, it didn’t even have a genital part.

“Whoosh~.”

As I got to the ice wall, suddenly a sword flashed in front of me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have lost my head.

“Hey, he has a Silvermoon City Adventurers Guild’s badge,” a voice said. The sword was also pulled back already. Then I saw a group of seven or eight people crouching in front of a small man-made ice cave. No wonder that these smooth walls had weapon marks on it here.

“You are an army from the Silvermoon City,” I said in amazement. They didn’t have their names displayed on top of their heads, so they should be NPCs, and their levels should also be very high that I couldn’t see it. At current situation, there shouldn’t be any players in the game with such a high level yet.

Someone who seemed to be a captain immediately came over and said, “We are the first unit of the Silvermoon City Third patrol squadron. A month ago, we carried out a mission chasing a Yeti King here. Unfortunately, our strength was too weak and we were instead being trapped in this isolated place here. It’s been almost a month, and we can only consume the meat of those disgusting Yeti out there to satiate our hunger. But in the last few days, our magician have begun to get diarrhea. These Yeti’s meat is really too agonizing…”

I stretched out my head to look outside at those genitalless Yetis. These soldiers really had a hard time. The Yeti looked so disgusting, yet, they could eat its meat.

“Sir, are you k.u.ma? The captain of the Silvermoon City’s East Gate Guards asked me to find your whereabout.” (TL Note: At the end of chapter 98, I made a translation mistake. Instead of translating to k.u.ma, I translated it as Cavalry unit. The ‘ku’ in the name means division, and the ‘ma’ in his name literally means horse. After getting to this chapter, I realized that it was actually referring to a name.)

The captain was ecstatic, “I’m k.u.ma and this is my unit. Unfortunately, only half of them remained… Young man, you’re very brave. Since you have already come to this place, can you do me a favor? One of my soldiers had been poisoned by the Yeti. The doctor said that only the Yeti King’s heart could act as the antidote for the poison. Can you help me kill the Yeti King and take its heart?”

I quickly selected “Yes”, and the mission followed:

System Notification: You accepted Captain k.u.ma’s mission. Kill the Yeti King and deliver its heart to Captain k.u.ma.

Killing another BOSS again. With so many monsters out there, who knew where the Yeti King resided…

I proceeded to sneak out. The monsters out there weren’t too many; only spa.r.s.ely distributed on the ice path, which was around ten meters wide. The strange thing was that all monsters here were at level 42, from the entrance to here, all the same. Could it be that their levels would still be level 42 all the way down? If so, once I reached level 40, I wouldn’t need to wander here; the Experience gained would be too little.

As I was thinking of that, suddenly my body shook, followed by an “88” red figure popping out from the top of my head. On my right side, a transparent black figure gradually became visible. Two green poisonous daggers flashing with cold light waved up and down.

d.a.m.n it. Another stealth-type monster again.

It was a level 43 a.s.sa.s.sin and was somewhat similar with those j.a.panese Ninjas. Only these a.s.sa.s.sin was very tall and fully masked, even its eyes were not exposed.

I unleashed my sword to counterattack and threw out a [Frozen Blade], which unexpectedly caused the a.s.sa.s.sin to lose 1/3 of its Health. Such a low Defense and Health. When I unleashed a Combo and Heavy Strike, this level 43 died without any suspense. It didn’t drop any equipment, only 56 silver coins. To get 56 silver coins in a flash, I was more than satisfied.

All the way down, I didn’t see the Yeti King. However, the deeper I went, most of the monsters were Yetis and a.s.sa.s.sins. Usually, in online games like this, the Yeti King should be located in the deepest part of this place, or it wasn’t located here at all.

Although the number of monsters wasn’t that many, but as a Swordsman, to fight long-range monsters gave me quite a headache. I kept killing monsters until three in the afternoon and my Experience grew another 12%; it was at 84% now. To get to level 40 in the next three hours should not be a problem.

Waving my sword to cut down the last Yeti, it became bright and clear in front of me. A tall ice monolith stood in the middle of the path. It was carved with complex patterns and images like a totem or some monuments used for ancient rituals. I curiously walked over and then could see the images very clearly and realistic. A snow-white bird was flying in the sky, its two huge wings causing the snow on the ground to scatter up. Weird, it was like an abstract drawn with post-modernism method.

I felt strange inside and couldn’t help but reach out to touch the ice bird. However, the moment my hand touched the icicle, suddenly, I felt a surge of cold air rapidly blown at my direction, causing my whole body to tremble.

“Ding~.”

System Notification: You have triggered the Inscriptions of the G.o.ddess. Use the G.o.ddess’s Heart to unlock the Snow Queen’s confinement.

The giant ice monolith gradually disappeared after the mission announcement. A cold blue gem was placed below where the monolith was standing before. I picked it up to take a look, and it turned out to be the required G.o.ddess’s Heart mentioned in the mission’s brief. I quickly opened the mission pane to see the mission’s detail.

The G.o.ddess’s Heart: The Ice G.o.ddess energy remained in the human’s world in the form of a crystal. Two thousand years ago, the Ice G.o.ddess’s maid violated the law of Heavens. Afraid of getting severe divine punishment, she secretly fled to the world of mortals. In the mountains east of Silvermoon City, she released her power and created the Land of IceWind there. She herself became the self-proclaimed Snow Queen. Feeling it as her responsibility, the G.o.ddess unleashed some divine power and solidified her heart to seal the Snow Queen in the Land of IceWind.

Mission task: You have unlocked the G.o.ddess’s seal. Use the G.o.ddess’s Heart to defeat the Snow Queen and deliver the G.o.ddess’s Heart back to her.

I couldn’t help but suck in a mouthfull of cold air. This was a divine mission. What an outrage. No wonder the mission’s name was printed in deep blood red color. It seemed that this wasn’t a mission that I could accomplish by myself. Who could tell what pervert level this Snow Queen would evolve to. I’ll just kill the Yeti King first for now. Perhaps, to kill the Snow Queen would require some teammates.
