-Kuweeek!
The angry snow pig started to run at me, screaming.
Cheon Gu-nam took a step back and urgently activated his ability.
Numerous ice blades were created in the sky.
“Get out of here!”
-Quaquaquaqua!
A barrage of grenades followed, incomparable to what had just happened.
The snow pig looked like it had ice blades stuck all over its body, as if it were a hedgehog.
Cheon Gu-nam smiled when he saw that sight.
-Kuweeek!
The snow pig shook off all the blades, shaking its body roughly.
It didn’t seem like there was even a scratch, let alone blood.
Cheon Gu-nam took a step back in embarrassment.
‘Why, why? Why the attack… …!’
This place was advantageous not only to Cheon Gu-nam but also to the demons.
Since the snow pigs living in the snowy area are also water-attributed, Cheon Gu-nam’s attacks did not cause much damage.
He gritted his teeth and loaded the grenade again.
‘The grenade won’t work, but if you infect it with Mama… … !’
The place where the attack had landed began to swell and blisters formed.
Cheon Gu-nam activated the grenade and Mama like crazy.
-Kuweeek!
But the snow pig did not run away.
Even though his whole body was covered in blisters, he ran towards Cheon Gu-nam.
Cheon Gu-nam started rolling and falling, running away like crazy.
“This little pig… … !”
The distance between me and the snow pig gradually decreased, and my magic power slowly began to run out.
Before I knew it, I felt hot breath coming from behind me.
The moment when Cheon Gu-nam tightly closed his eyes and fired the grenade with the last of his strength.
-Kuuung!
With a final word, the snow pig fell down.
Cheon Gu-nam gasped as he saw the snow pig collapse in front of his nose.
My whole body was covered in cold sweat.
I narrowly escaped death, but my heart still felt like it was going to burst.
Meanwhile, other voices besides that of the Cheorwon Lord began to be heard.
【Oh, you got it?】
【I came to see a human who had been possessed by a spirit, but he wasn’t very strong.】
【Still, it’s kind of interesting. Cheolwon seems like a person who fits Jeongdo well.】
Perhaps other gods were watching.
Cheon Gu-nam was dumbfounded when he saw her suffering and rejoicing.
He cried out to the sky in frustration.
“Damn, am I having fun doing this!”
“It’s fun.”
A voice was heard from behind, but it was not a god’s voice, but a human voice.
Cheon Gu-nam tried to look back, but it was too late.
Seo Kang-rim stabbed Cheon Gu-nam in the shoulder without giving him time to react.
-Phew!
“Ahhhh!”
Cheon Gu-nam screamed.
Blood gushed out from where the knife had been stuck.
He gasped for breath and his eyes widened when he saw Seo Kang-rim.
“All of you, that leather… … . When on earth… … .”
Seo Kang-rim was wearing the skin of a snowy field saber-toothed tiger.
He was on guard in case Cheon Gu-nam would throw a grenade, but when he checked his fortune telling, his magical power was already close to 0.
‘As expected, the magic power ran out quickly.’
This snowfield was a space advantageous to Cheon Gu-nam in many ways.
The water to create a water grenade is nearly infinite, and the amount of magic power consumed is small.
However, there was one thing that Cheon Gu-nam overlooked.
Water is nearly infinite, but its magic is not.
With the help of Cheorwon Do-ryeong, his magical power increased, but it could not increase indefinitely due to the limitations of the vessel.
Furthermore, when Cheon Gu-nam used ‘Su-grenade’, he also activated ‘Mama’.
So, the magic power was bound to wear out quickly.
‘Among Cheongu-nam’s abilities, his senses were also low.’
Seo Kang-rim was hiding in the snowfield, wearing the skin of a snowy saber-toothed tiger.
If Cheon Gu-nam had a keen sense, he would have noticed the subtle difference.
However, Cheon Gu-nam focused on increasing his magical power, so his senses were at best level 2.
While Cheon Gu-nam fights the snow pigs by recklessly firing a ‘hand grenade’ mixed with ‘Mama’.
He waited for Cheon Gu-nam’s magic power and stamina to run out.

The current Cheon Gu-nam was practically disarmed.
As Seo Kang-rim thrust the knife deeper, Cheon Gu-nam screamed.
“Ahhhh! Lord Cheorwon, please save me!”
Even at that sound, Seo Kang-rim was not scared.
Cheorwon Do-ryeong is one of the lower-level gods.
Although he could indirectly help Manshin, his divine power was too weak to directly harm him.
“Mr. Cheon Gu-nam.”
Cheon Gu-nam was terrified as if his own name were something terrible.
Seo Kang-rim looked down at Cheon Gu-nam and quietly asked a question.
“You keep interrupting me, so you must be prepared for this, right?”
“What, what… … ?”
Those words sent a chill down Cheon Gu-nam’s spine.
Are you really going to kill me?
When Seo Kang-rim’s expression didn’t change, he became even more pensive.
“Brother! Brother Kang Rim!”
Then a familiar voice was heard.
I could see Yun Bom in the distance.
Seo Kang-rim glanced at him and put away his sword.
“You’re lucky, Mr. Cheon Gu-nam.”
“Gasp, gasp… … .”
“Mr. Cheon Gu-nam, shouldn’t you run away?”
As soon as Seo Kang-rim finished speaking, Cheon Gu-nam started to run away while holding his wound.
But he felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
‘Why, why don’t you just let me go… … ?’
Although my life was saved, I was anxious in many ways.
Seo Kang-rim was staring at him as if telling him to run away.
‘Damn, are you ignoring me… …!’
I was upset, but I had to get out of this place for now.
Seo Kang-rim quietly watched Cheon Gu-nam run away.
‘I’m going to die soon anyway, so there’s no need for me to accumulate karma.’
While Seo Kang-rim was staring at Cheon Gu-nam running away, Yoon Bom approached Seo Kang-rim.
“Huh? Who is that person? Are you hurt, oppa? There’s blood… .”
“No. It’s pig blood.”
Seo Kang-rim took care of the snow pig, which was still breathing, as if nothing had happened.
While I was taking care of Youngok, a notification window popped up before my eyes.
[Types of Demons Killed: 10/10]
[We have conquered Hanbing’s room.]
Even when I saw the notification window saying that the strategy was successful, I didn’t feel particularly happy.
At that time, Yoon Bom spoke urgently.
“Excuse me, over there. I can’t see Yun Gyul-woo. Can you go look for her with me?”
“What? Yun Gyul-woo?”
Seo Kang-rim felt an ominous premonition.
Yoon Bom continued speaking, not knowing what to do.
“I’m sorry, you asked me to come with you… … . Yoon Gyul suddenly disappeared in an instant.”
“Where was the last time you saw me?”
“It was around the cliff over there.”
Yun Bom said, pointing to the cliffs to the north.
Upon hearing that, Seo Kang-rim’s expression, which had been calm until just a moment ago, cracked.
‘The date of Yun Gyul-woo’s death is not today, but I have a bad feeling about it.’
If it had suddenly disappeared, there was a possibility that it had been taken away by the devil.
Besides, the sky was now dark and the wind was getting stronger.
It looked like a heavy snowfall was about to come.
“Brother Kangrim… … ?”
Yoon Bom also felt something and looked at Seo Kang Rim with anxious eyes.
He spoke in a calm tone.
“Yoon Bom, you go back first.”
“What about you, brother?”
“I’ll look for Yun Gyeo-ul.”
“I’ll go with you too… … !”
Seo Kang-rim nodded.
Since we don’t know exactly where the body was found, it would have been better if there were more search crews.
Before they knew it, the sun had begun to set, and the shadows of the two people stretched out across the snow.
‘I have to find it before the sun sets.’
I couldn’t tell how much time was left until sunset, but it didn’t seem like there would be much time.
Now that we’ve reached the northern cliff, the trouble starts here.
I couldn’t tell where Yun Gyul-wool might be.
“Yoon Gyeo-ul!”
Even though Seo Kang-rim shouted loudly, there was no answer.
Yoon Bom also walked around frantically, calling her younger sister’s name.
While I was searching for Yun Gyeo-ul for a long time, I heard someone’s voice.
“What’s going on?”
The person who appeared while stepping on the snow field was Shin Soo-ah.
It seemed like they had been hunting nearby, as a snow pig had collapsed next to them.
Seo Kang-rim was a little disappointed that it wasn’t Yoon Gyul-woo, but he had no time to feel regret.
He quickly asked Shin Soo Ah a question.
“Have you seen anyone around here? It’s a boy who looks like this girl… … .”
“Yun Gyul-wool, that’s right. I haven’t seen it. At least not in the snow pig territory I used to hunt.”
When he heard those words, a dark cloud gathered over Yoon Bom’s face.
Seo Kang-rim glanced at the place where the sun had risen.
At this rate, it looked like the sun would set within 30 minutes.
Seo Kang-rim hesitated for a moment and then asked.
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah, may I ask you to search for me?”
Shin Soo-ah must have been upset because I had spewed out such harsh words yesterday.
But Shin Soo-ah nodded willingly.
“Okay. Where should I search?”
“I’ll go to the left, so Shin Soo Ah, please look at the other side.”
“Right. Whether we find it or not, it would be best if we come back here when the sun sets and meet up.”
The two quickly made a plan and then split up.
Seo Kang-rim started walking towards the inside of the cliff with Yoon Bom.
Silence came with the dark clouds.
As they entered the deep valley of the Demon Realm, the ice cliffs surrounding the two of them towered up as if they were piercing the sky.
‘It gets dangerous from here on out.’
Seo Kang-rim stopped for a moment.
Coming here, I began to guess how and what killed Yun Gyul-wool.
I didn’t encounter any demons until I reached this deep valley.
It’s a given.
There is no way that lower-level demons would enter the predator’s territory.
This is the area where the strongest person in this snowy field lives.
Seo Kang-rim has never actually fought, but he has listened to more people’s stories and thought of strategies than anyone else.
I have roughly prepared how to conquer it, but… … .
‘I don’t know what Yoon Gyul’s condition is. There are too many uncertainties.’
Even so, I couldn’t go back.
The two walked silently into the valley.
As the sky grew darker and the cold grew even more intense.
“Huh? It’s blocked… … ?”
As Yoon Bom said, the road was blocked.
Inside, there was quite a large space, strewn with branches, rags, and what appeared to be animal bones and hides.
It was like a beast’s nest.
‘I guess you’re out of the office.’
The owner of the treasure trove was nowhere to be seen.
A quick glance revealed that none of the bodies appeared to be human.
The moment when I was wondering whether I should be happy or not that Yun Gyul-woo was gone.
-Kuung, kuung… … .
A vibrating sound came from above my head.
The owner of the treasure trove had returned.
