Episode 80
The time saved by the flashbang didn’t last long.
The Yetis were simply startled by the sudden light and noise.
Since the only sense it used to track its prey was its sense of smell, it quickly prepared itself and followed behind.
“What are they that are so fast?”
Kang Jin-hyeok was running with stats higher than that of an S-class hunter, but he couldn’t shake off the Yeti.
As if to prove with their bodies that the snow-covered mountain was their territory, the Yetis’ speed increased with each passing moment.
The Yetis had incredible stamina and didn’t show any signs of fatigue even after running for a long time.
“Should we have just fought?”
“Since you’ve decided to run away, just run to the end.”
Although she said that, Lucia actually felt a little regretful.
If it were flat ground, I would have easily shaken off those guys.
Because the snow was piled up so much, my feet sank in and I wasted my energy.
I was feeling frustrated because my running speed was only half of my usual speed.
“It won’t work.”
Kang Jin-hyeok couldn’t stand it anymore and looked back.
Before Lucia could stop him, Kang Jin-hyeok swung his baseball bat and fired a lightning bolt.
Boom!
The lightning that flew straight ahead flashed blue and let out a loud roar.
However, due to poor visibility, they were unable to blow away all the Yetis.
At best, he only managed to roast a few of them that were running towards him.
“You idiot!”
Lucia hit the back of Kang Jin-hyeok’s head with her fist, as he looked regretful.
Kang Jin-hyeok must have been sincere because tears welled up in his eyes when he was punched.
“Why did you hit me! Thanks to you, I was able to catch a few!”
“What do you want me to do! Do you think I’ll just run away because I can’t even catch a single Yeti!?”
Lucia grabbed Kang Jin-hyeok by the collar with her hand.
“If you use such an outrageous technique on a snowy mountain like this, you’ll be in big trouble!”
“What’s the big deal?”
Kang Jin-hyeok was about to ask what that was when he felt a meaningful vibration under his feet.
Kang Jin-hyeok looked back in the direction where the lightning had struck, feeling as if it was no good.
“What the f*ck.”
Witnessing the eyes that surged in like angry waves, Kang Jin-hyeok realized what a mistake he had made.
Although one of the things to be most careful of on a mountain like this was an avalanche, Kang Jin-hyeok forgot even that simple fact while running away.
“Jump!”
Lucia let go of Kang Jin-hyeok’s collar and started running.
“Hey! Let’s go together!”
Kang Jin-hyeok moved vigorously with both legs filled with aura.
Kang Jin-hyeok and Lucia were chased by a stronger opponent as they tried to shake off the Yeti.
As we descended, the avalanche gained momentum and closed in on itself faster and faster.
The speed was already at a level that even Yetis could not do anything about.
“Kkuuuuuuuu!”
Even the Yetis, who consider the snowy mountains their home, were left feeling helpless in the face of this massive avalanche.
The surviving Yetis no longer paid attention to Kang Jin-hyeok and Lucia.
In order to survive, the Yetis gathered all their strength and ran towards the bottom of the mountain.
Kang Jin-hyeok’s eyes sparkled as he saw several Yetis running ahead of them.
“Let’s ride that!”
“what?”
“Let’s ride behind them and run away! At least it’ll be faster than us running!”
As another yeti passed by, Kang Jin-hyeok quickly extended his hand.
Kang Jin-hyeok grabbed the Yeti’s shoulder and jumped up, sitting on its neck as if he was riding its back.
The Yeti was so focused on avoiding the avalanche that he didn’t realize that someone was riding behind him.
“Ugh… … These guys really stink.”
Kang Jin-hyeok frowned while covering his nose with his hand.
As I came into direct contact with the Yeti, a foul stench like rotten fish was clearly transmitted to my nose.
“Hold on, hold on.”
Just until we escaped the avalanche.
Kang Jin-hyeok endured the stench while whipping himself to endure it until then.
“Is that really the only way?”
While Kang Jin-hyeok rode the Yeti and passed by, Lucia was deeply conflicted.
The Yeti’s stench was a harsh ordeal for her sense of smell, which was several times more developed than that of an ordinary person.
“Ugh… … .”
Wouldn’t it be better to just get buried in an avalanche like this?
With that in mind, I looked back slightly and saw an avalanche approaching with terrifying momentum.
If someone gets swallowed by something like that, it’s going to be hard to find even a single piece of their body.
“If you come down, I won’t let you stay still… … !”
Lucia took out the rope she had put in her pocket with a sad look on her face.
And then he threw a rope towards the Yeti that was running ahead of him.

The rope wrapped around the Yeti’s waist like a snake held on tightly without breaking as Lucia jumped up, holding on to it.
As soon as she climbed onto the Yeti’s back, Lucia almost lost her mind because of the stench.
If it weren’t for the superhuman mental strength I developed during my adventures, I would have just fainted.
“Ugh.”
Even though I avoided fainting, I couldn’t stand the feeling of vomiting.
The only good thing was that Kang Jin-hyeok was too busy running away to see that ugly sight.
As Lucia threw up what she had eaten in the morning, she once again burned her murderous intent towards Kang Jin-hyeok.
“Waaaaaaaaa!!”
The yeti in the lead spotted the cliff and let out a loud roar.
The Yetis who received the signal did not stop their feet, but instead began to move faster and faster.
Kang Jin-hyeok immediately understood what that meant.
“You’re trying to jump over a cliff.”
The distance to the other side was about 30 meters.
It was an impossible distance for a human, but it wasn’t completely impossible for the Yetis.
First, the yetis running ahead eagerly tried to jump from the edge of the cliff.
The success rate of a life-threatening leap is approximately 70%.
“Keep going!”
A considerable number of Yetis fell into the bottomless depths without being able to cross the street.
Kang Jin-hyeok swallowed hard and waited for the Yeti he was riding to jump.
“I believe, Yeti. You can do it!”
Yeti jumped powerfully over the cliff with Kang Jin-hyeok’s encouragement.
The Yeti stretched out its bent legs and leapt forward, cutting through the wind as it headed toward the opposite side.
When he had passed more than half the distance, Kang Jin-hyeok could sense it.
This yeti is a dud.
“What the hell!”
It was obviously impossible to carry the difficult distance to Kang Jin-hyeok on my own.
The Yeti also expected failure, as it waved its limbs wildly in the air.
That wouldn’t have changed the outcome. The Yeti was desperate to survive.
Kang Jin-hyeok clicked his tongue and patted the Yeti on the head.
“Thank you for everything, Emma.”
Those who are meant to live must live.
After saying goodbye, Kang Jin-hyeok stood up and stepped on Yeti’s back.
“Huh?”
By the time the Yeti realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Kang Jin-hyeok used the Yeti’s back as a stepping stone and jumped towards the cliff on the other side.
The recoil caused the Yeti to fall vertically towards the cliff.
“Ughh …
The Yeti’s pitiful cries grew distant as time passed.
Kang Jin-hyeok flew without looking back and landed safely on the cliff on the other side.
Lucia, who had arrived first, sighed as if she was tired.
“You are such a vicious person.”
“It’s your own fault, so what?”
The ones who originally chased us were the Yetis, intent on making us food.
Using those kinds of people to survive was enough to be seen as self-defense.
“Kurrrrrr… … .”
However, among them, only Kang Jin-hyeok thought it was self-defense.
The Yetis, who witnessed the gruesome end of their comrade, glared at Kang Jin-hyeok as if they were looking at trash.
“Why are you all so angry?”
“Why don’t you ask me about your chest?”
“Um… … I don’t know.”
Kang Jin-hyeok shrugged his shoulders calmly.
The Yetis rushed forward, screaming as if they understood what that action meant.
“Oh my.”
Kang Jin-hyeok was taken aback by the sudden attack, but he did not forget to swing his baseball bat to counterattack.
The yeti, which came first and swung its claws, was hit by a baseball bat and fell down with its head broken.
“Haa… … . Let’s catch them all.”
Lucia took out her bow and aimed at the Yetis behind her.
The cliff we reached to avoid the avalanche was the highest point on the mountain peak, so there was no need to worry about avalanches.
Kang Jin-hyeok and Lucia showed off their skills without hesitation, proving to Yeti that they did not run away because they lacked strength.
* * *
Kang Jin-hyeok, who had annihilated over 30 Yetis, threw all their corpses off the cliff.
The reason was simple.
It was because of Lucia’s stubbornness that she couldn’t just leave it alone because the stench was too bad even if she tried to take a short break.
Kang Jin-hyeok listened to her insistence without saying a word.
Kang Jin-hyeok, who was throwing away the Yeti corpses one by one, suddenly collapsed on the spot.
“Ah ah ah… … .”
While I was moving my body violently, I ended up hitting my eye with my forearm.
The pain was transmitted to my bones because it was the part that had swollen after being hit by Lucia.
“I’m angry, but I’m not. How can you make people’s eyes look like this?”
When I checked my face with my smartphone, the area around my right eye was completely blue.
While Lucia was resting somewhere else, Kang Jin-hyeok secretly took out a potion and poured it on her face.
Then he turned his hat over his head to hide his face as much as possible.
“Ugh.”
After throwing away the last remaining Yetis, Kang Jin-hyeok even threw his gloves, which had absorbed the smell, at the bottom of the cliff.
Kang Jin-hyeok took out his new gloves and walked towards Lucia, who was resting on a rock.
Lucia noticed Kang Jin-hyeok approaching and got up, shaking her butt.
“Are you done? Then let’s go.”
“……what?”
Kang Jin-hyeok, hearing Lucia’s words, doubted his own ears.
“Shall we leave? Now?”
“Yeah, we have to hurry before the sun sets.”
“No, then why did you tell me to throw it away!”
“I’m telling you to piss me off.”
Kang Jin-hyeok’s face turned red, showing that Lucia’s plan was working well.
If it weren’t for his mistake in causing the avalanche, Kang Jin-hyeok would have lost his mind and gone wild.
Kang Jin-hyeok had to force himself to hold on to his sanity, which he had wanted to let go of, because of the sense of responsibility for causing a major accident.
“Yes, I am a sinner.”
Kang Jin-hyeok felt that saying more would only make him angry, so he gave up on refuting and hurried his steps.
“Why are you in such a hurry? I can go slowly.”
Lucia giggled and gently teased Kang Jin-hyeok’s temper.
Kang Jin-hyeok had already swallowed the weight he had been holding back in his heart twice.
Even if the number of people who can tolerate it exceeds three, the murder will not occur, but at least the lid can be opened.
But Lucia seemed to have noticed that, and only teased him three times before keeping her mouth shut.
Kang Jin-hyeok, who had been waiting for the teasing to be done one more time, suddenly ended up like a dog chasing a chicken.
“Ugh.”
Kang Jin-hyeok’s blood pressure rose and he felt like grabbing the back of his neck.
The fact that he didn’t have much time left before he went down the mountain, thanks to his desperate struggles, was the only thing that could soothe his boiling stomach.
After jumping over the cliff, the snowstorm subsided and there was nothing obstructing my view.
The wide open scenery before his eyes soon showed something that made Kang Jin-hyeok fall over in surprise.
