    Episode 105 PK (1)

    The one who opened the rift.

    In other words who is the mafia?

    This is a question I have had since entering the ‘glacial cave’.

    Because the mafia was a ‘variable’ to me.

    It was necessary to figure out in advance whether it would be a positive or negative variable. So instead of concluding that Mr. Bear was a mafia we opened up all possibilities and gathered clues.

    in result.

    ‘Yes it was him.’

    A person believed to be a mafia was found.

    But that was all for now.

    Should I say I don’t know what this guy wants?

    ‘We can’t just kill that thing.’

    Since I don’t know what’s going on I feel even more uncomfortable.

    That’s because if that guy was indeed a mafia there was a good chance it could become a negative variable in the future.

    but….

    ‘For now I’ll just have to keep watching.’

    There is only one mafia.

    And he hasn’t done anything yet.

    This means that if you kill them all it will be a problem.

    Grumbling-

    Unless two innocent people are also ‘silenced’.

    ***

    “Michelle are you feeling okay?”

    “…me? Are you okay?”

    Although Misha replied naturally the fatigue from yesterday must have run rampant in her body.

    Unlike Jensen and Mr. Bear we only slept for three hours each because we had to stay on watch.

    “Don’t worry. “Isn’t it better than the time in the Witch’s Forest?”

    “That’s… I see.”

    I smiled and shook off my worries.

    Well a kid who endured that wouldn’t stumble at this level.

    “Why don’t you stop fooling around and leave quickly?”

    Soon after Mr. Bear uttered a word Misha stepped back from behind her and returned to her original position.

    The very back of the formation.

    This is a position where if someone does something stupid you will be able to find out immediately. If it weren’t for him it would have been burdensome to play the role of tank and stand at the front.

    Trudging.

    As soon as you take your first step the group follows you at your speed.

    ‘It’s not 2D graphics it feels like this in real life.’

    A dark ice cave.

    The frost-covered ground is slippery and the overall terrain structure is more three-dimensional than the crystal cave on the first floor.

    Not only were there steep sections but there were also places where the road was cut off and you had to use a rope to get over it.

    but….

    “But I’m glad there seems to be only one road.”

    There was no need to get lost without a searcher.

    It’s not that there weren’t side roads along the way but soon a dead end appeared.

    All you had to do was take the main passage and move.

    Smashing the monsters that appear from the ice wall.

    Wow!

    For reference the monsters that appear here are Wormstone Saber Tiger Frost Wolf Ice Golem Owl Bear.

    Unlike the Bloody Citadel where the 7th grade monster ‘Bone Knight’ appeared most of the 8th grade monsters were there.

    ‘But the actual level of difficulty is higher here.’

    Abnormal condition [hypothermia].

    A debuff field effect that lowers agility by up to -30 when there is no cold resistance and increases cold property damage received by two times.

    “Be careful Miss Naphryn. “Maybe because my body is stiff these guys’ attacks seem to hurt more than before.”

    “Ah somehow…! “That’s why!”

    As the journey continued ‘Jensen’ who was in the second row on either side of me began to groan.

    Of course out of consideration for them I didn’t slow down or anything. Well it was like those two had almost no shares anyway.

    puck.

    In fact Misha is the one who protects me Mr. Bear and Mr. Bear. As the three of us made our way through this we slowly reached the end of the chapter.

    Did it take about four hours to get here?

    As I walked up and down the winding passageway a wide cavity appeared.

    “Minister Whiyu.”

    Three monsters trapped in a pillar of crystal-clear ice.

    “I see that your skin is white so you are an ice orc.”

    “…Ice Oak?”

    “Don’t worry it’s only level 7.”

    The weapons the Ice Orcs were holding were all different.

    One is holding an ax one is holding a hammer and the other is holding a magic wand.

    “…Do we really have to fight those too?”

    “They wouldn’t be here for no reason.”

    Mr. Bear responded cynically to Gencia’s muttering.

    And that moment.

    Squeak-

    The ice pillars that were imprisoning the Ice Orcs began to crack and break apart.

    “You’re not even giving me time to look at it?”

    Anyway Mr. Bear’s relaxed reaction.

    “Don’t panic and stand in formation!”

    I urgently shouted to Jensen who was fidgeting. It’s easier for Misha to keep an eye on you if you stand in line.

    “Oh yes!”

    Soon Jensen came to either side of me and Mr. Bear moved back from a distance and took up a sniping position.

    Kwawang toodoo doot.

    As ice shards fell the Ice Orc trio woke up.

    He’s a mid-boss and spews out ferocious snorts.

    [Chwiiikik-!]

    One shaman and two warriors.

    It has a fairly balanced composition and also has [Hypothermia] so it is a very difficult opponent.

    If you don’t know the strategy.

    “Whoa….”

    Let out a long breath and raise your shield.

    I was quite nervous.

    Not because of the orcs that can be caught at any time but because of other aspects.

    ‘If you’re going to do something now would be the time.’

    There is a mafia within the team.

    Of course I don’t know what his purpose is.

    Maybe you just want to break the rift and have no intention of harming anyone.

    But we must also prepare for cases where that is not the case.

    thus-

    Quang!

    Focus only on defense rather than attack.

    It’s better to hide your power just in case.

    In that sense instructions were given to Misha not to step forward and just watch.

    “Why didn’t you run to your lover and are you still here?”

    “You never know what might come out from behind. And I’m not a lover.”

    “Well it still looks like that.”

    Mr. Bear questioned Misha’s positioning but she seemed to have a convincing reason so she passed on it.

    and….

    “Tsk those guys are there but they’re so bad I guess I’ll have to use my strength this time.”

    He brought out abilities that had never been shown before.

    “Abman Urikfrit has summoned Iradun the Iron Hero.”

    A huge bear came out through the portal created in front of Mr. Bear.

    It was soul water.

    ‘…Iradun?’

    Honestly I was a little surprised.

    Since he is a level 5 explorer from the beast people I thought he might have already signed a soul water contract…

    ‘I never thought it was a summoning world.’

    I understand why solo play was possible even though it was a bow jab.

    If you have tank summons there is no need to insist on a team.

    [Gaaaaa!!]

    The summoned bear cub ran quickly on all fours and roared next to me and raised itself up. And as I became accustomed to it I began to mark one warrior exclusively.

    ‘If this happens I guess I’ll have to go to plan B.’

    I acted completely rationally.

    Nothing has changed anyway.

    Because he hid his power didn’t Mr. Bear take out the soul water he had been saving up until now?

    [Chwiiikik!]

    For that reason hammering of ice oak was allowed.

    If I got hit in the body it would be obvious that I was acting harshly so I just hit it with my head as if heading the ball.

    Kwaang-!

    Because he was wearing a helmet and had good bone strength stats his head didn’t get smashed.

    My brain just shakes and I feel a little dizzy.

    Even that was recovering quickly with natural regeneration values ​​applied.

    but….

    dump.

    I picked and fell to the floor.

    The decision was that if they caught the orc Samdori too easily they would not be able to reveal the true intentions of the mafia.

    “Are you okay… Ugh!”

    Carlson was startled and ran towards me to take over the aggro.

    And that moment.

    “The Ice Orc warrior has been defeated. EXP +3.”

    The arrow fired pierces the hammer orc’s head.

    As a result the shaman’s aggro changed to Mr. Bear…

    The level 5 explorer was skilled.

    Tadat.

    Mr. Bear who has a large body in the early 190s nimbly evades spells hangs arrows on his crossbow and shoots them accurately.

    “The Ice Orc Shaman casted [Steel Ice Wall].”

    The shaman’s defensive skills were meaningless in front of those enormous arrows.

    How can a level 7 monster stop something like that?

    Kwaaaaaaaaaa!

    The arrow that broke the ice wall hit the shaman’s head and exploded.

    “The Ice Orc Shaman has been defeated. EXP +3.”

    Now there is only one orc left.

    ‘I guess I’ll catch them all with three arrows like this?’

    A sense of desperation washes over me.

    The plot was so one-sided that my plan to make it difficult if the battle was too easy was meaningless.

    ‘Is this a level 5 archer?’

    The floor is cold so why don’t you just pretend to come to your senses and get up?

    As I was thinking about that someone said something.

    “That’s the number of souls.”

    A cold voice.

    “Now we can go ahead with our plan.”

    Mr. Bear who was loading the next arrow coughed up blood and collapsed.

    dump.

    The mafia finally took action.

    ***

    There are several prerequisites that must be met in order to become a mafia.

    Be knowledgeable enough to know how to open the crack.

    Your navigation skills must be so good that you can get to the second floor in 19 hours.

    You will be able to clear it on your own.

    This alone reveals a rough outline.

    An explorer with level 5 military strength.

    This is the true identity of the mafia.

    The problem is that all three had this potential.

    1. Mr. Bear.

    Level 5 explorer.

    A way of thinking somewhat similar to that of a player etc.

    My mouth hurts even if I talk about it.

    2. Carlson.

    The only thing he said during introduction was his name.

    There was no mention of the essence he possessed.

    Additionally the equipment on the lower floors was well maintained.

    Like new.

    I kept watching it to see if it was a camouflage device but it didn’t drink the Frost Wolf Essence for some reason.

    It was suspicious enough.

    Well not as good as him.

    3. Gencia Naprin.

    He said he was trained as a searcher and had a knack for it.

    She also said that observation is her specialty.

    The way I see it it was all insurance.

    To make the subsequent lines sound natural.

    [Should I hold on to that and go down?]

    Even when I encountered a Yeti blocking the cave.

    [oh! She touches it and it glows.]

    Also in the second chapter.

    [For some reason I feel like my body isn’t moving well…···!]

    Even when the mid-boss casted [Suppression].

    [Anyway… Is it all over now?]

    Even when everyone is letting down their guard before the last wave begins.

    He continued to pretend it wasn’t the case and got to the point.

    As if he knew the strategy.

    Of course this was nothing compared to Uncle Bear or Carlson.

    If it weren’t for the dirt on my shoes.

    As soon as I entered the crevice the first thing I checked was my shoes. In order to open the ‘Glacier Cave’ you need to go to the beast’s den on the second floor.

    Jencia was the only one who had dirt on her shoes.

    Well I can understand it if you don’t wipe your steps in the city but…

    [Now that I think about it there is one strange part: Zencia’s smell changed after falling into the water.]

    Misha’s tip made me confident.

    Although it is not as good as Rotmiller the sense of smell stat itself is high as a beastman.

    [It originally smelled a bit worse.]

    [Like a den of beasts?]

    [iced coffee! Now I see it like that. I wondered why it felt familiar!]

    Gencia is a mafia.

    I judged that it was a malicious variable that had a lot of potential to become a negative variable.

    And thanks to that I was able to prepare in advance.

    Phew!

    The moment Zencia’s sword penetrated Mr. Bear’s abdomen.

    Misha rushed forward as if waiting and threw one of her medicine bottles hitting him.

    Clink!

    The glass breaks and the contents spill out.

    “Thank you that would be 30 million stones— yaaaah!”

    Jen Sia who was about to chat leisurely gets covered in her liquid and stands back behind her in shock.

    “What! “What on earth are you doing to me?”

    I quickly stood up.

    But did my fainting play a part in that bitch choosing this as the timing for the surprise attack?

    “What are you talking about?…”

    Gencia looked even more confused.

    Instead of answering I let out a shout.

    “Behel—laaaaaaa!!!”

    What is it?

    From now on it’s called self-defense.
