Chapter 89
Gathered before the snow-covered Yerina, the group exclaimed.
She looks fierce. Do you know her, Ian?
Shes Yerina Pierce, the second child of the Duke. We had a briefing on the train once. Youve seen her at the ball, right?
Yeah, shes the intimidating one!
Thats true.
But she seems frozen, doesnt she?
It might be worth trying to thaw her out.
Yeah, let me try a fireball. Ifrit Yikes!
Yerinas eyes snapped open.
Its so noisy.
Yerina blinked a few times.
Snowflakes piled on her long eyelashes fell softly.
Lina and Danya, who thought she was frozen, were startled.
W-We thought you were dead.
We thought you were completely frozen!
You all underestimate me No, you did.
Tap, tap.
Yerina chuckled as she brushed off snow from her head and shoulders.
Thanks. I appreciate the warmth of the fireball you were about to hit me with.
Seeing her smile, Lina whispered to Ian.
I thought she was really scary. Maybe not.
No, shes still scary. Shes the one who can turn people into dust with one punch.
Eek!
Hey, there.
Ian, who was spreading rumors, was singled out by Yerina.
Dont spread unnecessary rumors while trying to lighten the mood in a crisis.
Voluntarily dragged in front of her, Ian asked.
Why were you standing like this?
I was planning to maintain my body and wait until someone came.
Someone?
Given that so many people were swallowed up, wouldnt everyone be dead? I judged that I needed allies.
If were allies, do you trust us?
Yerina responded to Ians question with more questions, seeming skeptical.
Didnt you tell me?
?
Youre interested in me.
Ah. Yes.
Ian affirmed for now.
But.
If someone confesses to you, do you trust that person?
This person. I feel like theyre easy to fool.
And Ian soon realized he didnt need to worry about that.
Even if I get fooled, I can just break them.
He noticed the main weapon hanging on her thigh, a chain mace.
(TLN: Basically a flail.)
Yerina, noticing Ians gaze, chuckled.
Dont worry. Ive understood your sincerity while watching the tournament.
Thank you.
So, how about joining me?
After all, Yerina is an absolute power even in the bustling north. She has a somewhat violent side, but shes a trustworthy figure.
Utilizing her unique efficiency cultivated from a long time with soldiers, persuasion should be easy Theres no reason not to join her.
Of course.
Good decision. I needed someone to have my back.
By any chance, did you also discover those corpses?
Did you all see them too?
Yes.
Oh, theres a better guide than I thought.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
I flinched.
Danyas tail drooped as she received Yerinas gaze.
Haha. It happens occasionally. You seem confused because of the smell of blood. Ill take the lead.
With a brief glance at Danya, Yerina smiled brightly and led the way.
She looked like a true commander.
Every time the wind blows, fine snow particles piled on the ground scatter.
The surroundings are hazy, as if covered in mist.
Step by step.
Ian was walking behind Yerina (the leader).
Only then did he match his stride with Danya.
Moreover, the biggest issue was their numbers.
From somewhere, an endless stream of corpses seemed to surge.
How many humans did you swallow, Richard?
What seemed like dozens of corpses had suddenly swollen to hundreds.
Literally, a wave of corpses.
Hwaaaah!
Yerina also tried to change her attack pattern to focus on area-of-effect spells, but as her mana filled, the corpses began to dodge her attacks skillfully.
Among them, one corpse wielding a dagger showed particularly noticeable movements.
Ian, who had been keeping an eye on it, rushed forward.
Clang!
Blocking the imminent attack on Yerinas back, he struck toward the corpses head.
Splat. With an unpleasant sound, the corpse collapsed.
Thanks.
But its not feasible to continue like this.
Hmm. Did you feel it too?
Yes. Their response to magic is unusually excellent. Its not your typical necromancy, Yerina. Im not doubting your skill, but
But?
It seems like it would be futile without physical attacks.
Yerinas combat style relied on various Frost-based skills mediated by her mace.
A decrease in mana efficiency was bad news.
However.
Thunk. Thud.
While her pure physical strength was overwhelming, Yerina, who had just burst the heads of three corpses with her mace, muttered.
Theyre really bizarre.
Suddenly, one idea flashed through Ians mind.
I have a solution.
Arent you a mage too?
Yes. Please give me a moment.
Ian immediately turned around.
Keep providing cover fire!
He relayed to Danya and Lina, then dashed backward farther than them.
And when he had put enough distance between himself and the battlefield.
Extraction.
Ian pulled earth and metals from the ground.
Simultaneously, he shaped them into a sphere.
Roll.
He rolled it as is.
At first heavy, but gradually gaining speed due to a subtle slope downwards.
Extraction.
Continuing to roll while continuously extracting.
The snow piled around, mixed with the growing dirt snowball.
Danya! Lina!
The pupils of the two who had been supporting Yerina widened in surprise.
Aaaah, Ian, what did you make this time?!
Wow, its huge!
Stop gawking and come help roll!
Thud. Clunk.
It seemed to meld into the ground littered with skeletons, but there was no time to slow down.
In no time, the dirt snowball had grown into a snow dirt skeleton lump the size of a small house, or rather, a big boulder.
Goo-goo-goo-!
Yerina, who had been sweeping away the corpses, turned back at the sound and widened her eyes.
W-what are you doing?
Avoid it!
Swiftly dodging aside, Yerina joined in, adding force to roll the dirt snow skeleton.
Kugagagak!
It flew off at an unstoppable speed.
Standing in place, they watched as the dirt snow skeleton rolled away.
Gruk? Pajik!
Grurruruk! Pajik!
Corpses with significantly diminished physical sight and sensation.
They stood still for a moment before either collapsing or providing support in the form of snowball-sized lumps.
Someone murmured.
Looks like a giant snowman made of rotten mud.
Its terrifying enough to appear in nightmares.
The snowball rushed through the path between the cliffs.
Thousands of corpses crushed into the giant snowball or poured down the cliffs on either side.
It was literally a waterfall of corpses.
It was a grand and grotesque sight indeed.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
