My sight was back.
The scene that appear.
Is the Sasquatch pulling off Rig that is covering its mouth.

The monster took a big breath.
I plunge my staff into its wide open mouth.

「Tsu!」

「Gukeee!」

At the same time Senki got on to the monster.
Did it hold it down somehow?

White breath is exhaled from the Sasquatch"s mouth.

「Volcanic Shot!」

Trying to heat up I launch an attack spell.
Aiming for the mouth.
There is damage.
But once again the surrounding is filled with cold air.

It"s stronger than Wendigo"s
It"s cold even when wearing cold resistant clothes.
I can let it use this too many times.

I use my legs and try to choke it.
I somehow manage to do it.
At the same time I close its mouth with my hands folded under its chin.
If I don"t, it will be hard to deal with this guy.
I press the back of its head to hara.s.s it.
It is sober but the damage will pile up.
This.
Will hurt!

Senki straddle on the Sasquatch chest to prevent it from further struggling.
Helix and Obsidian were attacking its swinging arm.
Ninetails was on Senki"s shoulder supporting it.
Its MP has depleted quite a lot.
And Rig.
Slowly coming over to my arm.
The Sasquatch snorts were rough.

Cover it.
If i cover its respiratory organs.
The battle will be over soon.

Following.
Rig covered the Sasquatch"s face.
If it goes wild more violently.
Neither I nor Senki will go undamaged.
I wish that the battle will end quickly.

My HP was cut half when it finally stops breathing.
The Sasquatch was more slender than Wendigo, but it has more power than Wendigo.
It should be equal to a Higher Gozu.
In conclusion it should be at threat like a General Gozu and General Mezu.
I think.

The countermeasure did not change.
It"s a dangerous opponent if I don"t use my full strength.

《Summon Monster 『Helix』 Level Up!》
《Please add 1 point to a desired stat.》

Helix have caught up to Obsidian.
It"s a good thing.

AGI have rise.
I add one point into VIT.

Helix is also damage.
30% have been shaved.
Even with Resist Ice.

Not just Helix.
Everyone is damaged.
And it"s quite big.
Naturally, just potion is not enough.
I cast recovery spell to completely recover.

It should be alright now I think?

I cut the Sasquatch corpse with the Survival Knife.
But nothing drop.
Huh?
Even with 【Disa.s.sembly】active?
It"s been a long time since I am this unlucky.

I use Call Monster to check the surrounding.
There"s a Wendigo.
But all the other seem to be sleeping.
Well.
This helps a lot.

There is no Sasquatch.
I feel a little relieved.
It would be possible to fight one more.
But I am not confident if there was more.
What if I am fighting 2 Sasquatch at the same time?
I have to devise a plan using wall spells even in perfect condition.

It was painfully embarra.s.sing to fall into blindness state in the previous battle.
It"s annoying.
It"s really annoying.

There was another problem beside this.
It is this cliff.
My destination is on the other side.

I have no choice but to climb it.

How should I do this?
Fortunately, Senki posses the climb skill.
I also have it.
Helix and Obsidian can fly so there"s no problem.
Shall I recall Ninetails?
But the MP consumption will be severe.
It is also tough to replace it with Heather.
I want to hold my ground.

What was the route that the Sasquatch climbed?
I send Helix and Obsidian to look at it, but there are ice walls in several points.
This is troublesome.
I made the Enraged Pickaxe to be able to equip at any time and start climbing.

What about Senki?
It climbs the cliff like a monkey whereas I am struggling.
Well, Senki was originally a monkey.
There was no problem even when carrying Rig.

The only one that have problems seems to be only me.

I found a spot in the middle of the cliff that I can take a break.
So I took a short break.
There is nothing to say other than the beautiful scenery.
I can see the route that I have taken to reach here.
I would gaze for a longer time.
If it wasn"t so cold.

I order Helix and Obsidian to stay vigilant of the surroundings.
It is going to take a while more before reaching the top.
I used Call Monster once more.
I do not want to be attack in the middle of climbing.
Looking at Senki"s state, even if Wendigo and Sasquatch attack, it is capable of fighting them on the cliff.
But I still can"t get rid of my anxiety.
This is why I must be cautious of my actions.

I continued climbing.
Senki took the lead to guide me to the top.
Just a little more.
I just need to climb a little more.
Have I reached the top?
As soon as I thought so, I would see another cliff.
What in the h.e.l.l?

《【Climb】Level Up!》

Even if I level up.
How much more do I need to climb?
It"s sad to see that there is still a huge distance left.
But as time goes by.
I have finish climbing it at last.

This terrain is clearly a crater.
There is a pond.
There are some shrubs, but not thick.
A ridge follows up by a route.
There is a place that looks like a valley with a river flowing.

I cast Call Monster, but there"s no reaction in the crater.
But I remember this atmosphere.

There is something that leads to an area portal and a relay portal.
I cast Sense Magic.
I cast Levitation on me and Senki and headed inside.
What will happen?

The place we headed for was the pond.
I do not feel any magic.
But I can"t let my guard down.

I buff with spells.
I use a Pocari Sweat.
I cast Resist Ice.
My MP fell to about 40%, but this should be a place to use it.

I stand on top of the base of the pond.
The pond is frozen.
It a strange sight, even the landscape seemed to be frozen.
It also feels colder.

Shall I go back?
I have that option.
But my curiosity cut that thought.
Let"s walk on the pond.
There is a presence that can be felt by Sense Magic.
The place is around the center of the pond.

I move on top of the ice.
Of course by sliding.
Ice magic Skating.
It"s interesting when using it.

No problem sliding.
Of course I can also walk normally.
Running as well.

But sliding around was still the best.
Senki liked it more than me.
Slipping that is.
What kind of skater are you?

The effect time of the buffs is about half left.
The effect of Pocari Sweat will be over soon.
And just before it I found the source of the magic.

In the case of an area portal, why is there so much soul in the air?
This is not an area portal pattern.
Is it a relay portal?
Does it have a guardian like Deva King?

But the atmosphere is different.

I feel magic from under the ice.
There was a figure of a woman there.

There was no effect when using 【Identify】.
Perhaps, No, I think this is definitely the key.
I put my hand on the surface of the pond and cast Melt Ice but there was no effect.
What should I do?

I observe the condition of the woman.
There is no doubt she is very beautiful.
Its feels different from Banshee
Is it because she is silent?
The clothes she is wearing was also simple.

Is it a spirit?
Or is it a monster?

It seems that Helix have found something.
Something is coming from the ridge of the pond.
Obsidian was also looking at another direction.
As expected something is coming.

I can see something in a distance.
It was neither a Wendigo nor Sasquatch.
What?

It"s a flock.
It"s a group of wolves or dogs.

Snowhound Lv.3
Monster Enemy Target Active

It was dogs.
There"s about 30 of them right?

Beast Tamer Lv.6
Magus Enemy Target Active
Detail: Ground

And also a fellow I have seen somewhere.
It"s holding a whip.
In other words, I have to defeat this guy?
