< Chapter 20 - Rough Avalanche #2 >

Uther and Cordelia opened their eyes at the same time, but did not sit up right away. It would have been too conspicuous of an action.
Of course, Uther’s decision was a calculated one considering the risk of exposure, while Cordelia’s was an instinctive one.
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!”
Once again, the sound of crying tore through her head. Cordelia covered her ears in pain, and Uther was no different.
‘It’s close! But it’s beyond the shield!’
A howl that wasn’t heard directly, but rather heard from beyond something like a wall.
Once the howling started, it didn’t stop easily.
Uther and Cordelia eventually gave up waiting for it to stop and began to move, grimacing.
‘Over there.’
After giving a wink and a hand signal at the same time, Uther moved carefully while keeping his posture very low, and Cordelia nodded and followed Uther.
The two people who had almost crawled along the ground pressed against the rock wall and stuck their heads out to check the situation below.
“Kwaaah!”
The howl was not unanimous.
To be precise, it was a sight of evil power stirring in the screams of pain.
basin.
There was a large crack running through the center of the relatively flat summit.
The gap itself was wide and long, so it seemed as if there was a waterway on top of the peak.
Moreover, it was not an ordinary crack.
Inside the crack, a blue light was rippling, and even at first glance, a powerful force could be felt.
And right next to that crack is the screaming being.
It was a huge bear.
A pure white bear, which looked to be about 5 meters tall, was howling while chained up, and a purple veil was covering the white bear.
‘Avalanche of snow.’
The wild god mentioned by the Great Storm.
Uther and Cordelia’s eyes met for a moment, and the two nodded to each other.
It was clear that the howling was a heavy avalanche.
And those who make him cry.
Near the center of the crack stood a gray-haired man with a pair of large horns growing from his head.
Carrying a staff decorated with skulls and wearing pitch-black robes, he chanted something over a large magic circle, and in response, barbarian warriors sprinkled blood from large vats between the cracks.
“Kwaaah!”
Every time a ladleful of blood was sprayed, the blue light of the cracks would waver, and the rough avalanche would let out a terrible scream.
And more and more purple swindles began to engulf the rough avalanche. The howls of pain were mixed with evil.
“Ahhh! Aahhhh!”
Cordelia, who had held her breath in the midst of her desperate cries, quickly hid herself under the rock wall, and Uther also lowered his body and met Cordelia’s gaze. They used every means at their disposal to communicate amidst the screams of the rough avalanche.
“Zarakull.”
“The Devil’s Eye Executive.”
“It’s corrupting the rough avalanche.”
“Consciousness unfolding in the cracks. I’ve seen it before.”
“An event that appears at the end of Act 2, the fight against the Northern Barbarians.”
“A vein? A dragon vein?”
“If we leave it like this, the rough avalanche will degenerate.”
“You can’t beat Jarakul. He’s a mid-level mine. There’s no way to weaken him like the Guardian of the Tomb.”
“But we have to stop it.”
There was a pause in the conversation there, but it was really only a moment.
“Do you remember the end of the event?”
“no way?”
“that.”
“Should we do it in reverse?”
“Let’s do it in reverse.”
“That crazy guy.”
Even though Cordelia was the one who spat out the curses, you could tell by looking at her eyes.
Cordelia knew too.
That is the only way.
“What means?”
“The Holy Spear of Solari.”
“This is crazy.”
“So you don’t like it?”
“No, okay.”
If I had to do it anyway, I might as well do it hotly.
“But is it really okay?”
“There’s no choice. To stop them.”
That was the moment I said that.
“Is there any way? Help me! We have to stop them!”
A third voice was suddenly heard, and Uther and Cordelia each thrust their dagger and Moonlight in the direction from which the voice had come.
“Baby bear?”
It really was a bear cub.
A small, cute, white bear cub.
“Ear, you’re cute.”
At that moment, Cordelia spoke without realizing it, and the bear cub spoke with an anxious face.
“I am a wild avalanche. The one over there is the main body, and the one over here is the clone that was hastily pulled out.”
They had a rough idea. So instead of wasting time on useless things, Uther and Cordelia asked directly.
“What are they doing?”
“You are polluting the dragon veins! You are polluting all the dragon veins connected to the entire Wild Lands, taking away the power of the Wild Gods, and corrupting the Wild Lands themselves!”
“Dragon vein?”
“It is a great power circuit created by the wild gods. They are trying to pollute that circuit. The power of the wild gods comes from the land, so if the dragon vein is polluted, the wild gods will also be polluted. The fact that my body is about to be corrupted right now is proof of that.”
The rough snow that had been pouring out words like a storm gasped, and Uther and Cordelia looked at each other again.
“Dragon vein.”
“Something similar was said.”
The wild lands in Hero Chronicles 2 had already been corrupted, so all the players could see was the flow of evil power that had already been polluted and could not be called dragon veins, but they could still roughly understand what was being said.
“We must stop it! We must stop it! The dragon vein is vast, but they will not only operate in my mountain. If we pollute the sanctuaries in various places, the dragon vein will inevitably be polluted as well.”
“Are you pouring sewage into the river?”
Cordelia summarized briefly, and Uther nodded.
“Lord Rough Snow Avalanche, we have come here at the request of Lord Great Storm.”
“Oh! The Great Storm! That Little One!”
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear the backlash. We have to stop them somehow, but we don’t have enough strength on our own.”
“Ugh… I understand. The horned man is really strong. He used a lot of strange magic to seal my strength.”
Jarakul was a mid-level mine, so he was a tough opponent for a wild god who had no tribe to care for and therefore no worship.
“But we still have to stop him.”
“Yes, you are right. If this continues, I too will become corrupt and become their lackey.”
The rough avalanche that had been talking up to that point made another sound at the screams of the main body and spoke to Uder and Cordelia as if pleading.
“I can do whatever I want. I’ll even give up my life if it means stopping them. So please stop them! Please!”
It was said with the intention of grasping at straws.
But at the part where it says, “Whatever you do,” Uther and Cordelia’s eyes suddenly started to shine.
“You said you would allow me to do anything?”
“Can I do whatever I want?”
At the question that was asked at the same time, the rough snowfall felt a bit awkward, but he nodded immediately.
“I, a wild god, allow it! Stop them at all costs!”
“Okay, I got permission from the landlord.”
“I feel less awkward now.”
After exchanging incomprehensible words, Uther and Cordelia quickly ended their strategy meeting with glances, gestures, and short words that only the two of them could understand.
“I’ll say it again, this is crazy.”
“I’ll say it again, so you don’t like it?”
“No, okay.”
Cordelia smiled brightly and said, hitting Uther in the chest with her fist.
“Do your best. Don’t get hurt.”
“You are the one.”
Likewise, Yuder, who had been smiling brightly, took a deep breath. After mentally preparing himself, he kicked the ground.
“Hey-!”
First of all, I shouted loudly to get attention.
Even amidst the howling of the rough avalanche, Yuder’s shout, filled with internal energy, had sufficient presence.
“What the hell are you!”
Jarakul turned to Uther, shouting his usual lines, and the barbarian warriors quickly responded, throwing down their bowls and drawing out their weapons.
Uder was satisfied. As soon as he landed on the ground, he put on his holy grail and took the twenty-four steps of the whirlwind.
“whirlwind!”
I shouted on purpose. At the same time, I created more wind than usual to attract their attention.
“You scary horned bastard! I told you not to disturb the ceremony!”
Jarakul, who had cursed the poor scary horn, made a rough gesture, and the barbarian warriors charged towards Yuder.
The number is eight.
They were not just big guys, but each and every one of them was a well-trained warrior.
Each and every one of them was a strong man, comparable to the knight Jun who had been with Langeste.
However, Uther focused on Jarakul rather than the barbarian warriors.
It was up to Uther himself to attract the attention of not only the barbarian warriors, but also Jarakul.
‘I believe, I believe! The whirlwind twenty-four steps!’
bang!
Uther kicked the ground roughly. He ran towards the barbarian warriors who were charging through the whirlwind like a whirlwind.
But the goal was neither offense nor defense.
A niche for barbarian warriors.
Dig through them. It really passes them by like the wind!
Tsuwaaa …
whirlwind!
gale!
The atmosphere was stirred.
The swift yet gentle charge of the Uther passed through the barbarian warriors in one breath.
“Noom!”
Jarakul reacted. He swung the staff he was holding, trying to deal with the Uther rushing towards him.
And then Yuder broke Jarakul’s thoughts once again.
bang!
It was the sound of kicking the ground, not an attack.
Instead of rushing towards Jarakul, Yuder turned sharply and ran towards the main body of the rough avalanche, and Jarakul opened his eyes wide.
Because I realized that Yuder’s purpose was to create a rough avalanche.
“No way!”
Jarakul kicked the ground and charged towards Yuder. As expected of a mid-level mine, he had a fearsome momentum.
At that moment, Uder burst open the pouch he was holding in his arms. The terrible smell spread throughout the surrounding area, riding on the whirlwind that Uder had created.
“Ugh?!”
No matter how powerful the mines and trained warriors were, there was nothing they could do about the sense of smell.
The movements of Jarakul and his men were instantly blocked by the stink bomb that had been feeding Fury Wolf in the dungeon book.
bang!
Yuder kicked the ground again. He ran back in the direction he had come from as if he had lost his strength, and Jarakul, who was struggling in the smell, called out a strong wind with his roar and swept the surrounding area. As soon as he cleared the stench, he charged at Yuder again.
“You damn loach!”
The barbarian warriors also turned to Juder.
And the rough snow avalanche, which had been watching all this spectacle through a gap between the rocks, stamped its feet.
“What should I do! What should I do!”
Uder’s plan to awaken his own body failed.
Although Yuder’s movements were amazing, he was no match for Jarakul and his men.
The rough-looking Avalanche turned its gaze to the side and shouted.
“Hey, kid! You, say something too······?”
His voice became weak at the end. That was understandable, since Cordelia, who had been with him until just now, had disappeared.
“Sir, really?”
Did you run away? Even abandon your lover?
No. At that moment when the rough avalanche was startling, and everyone’s eyes were focused on Uther, Cordelia was also running.
“It’s a bucket!”
Just as Cordelia reached the magic circle she had created for the ritual, Zarakul shouted like lightning. He quickly turned towards Cordelia.
“Trying to destroy consciousness!”
They try to attract attention and destroy the magic circle.
It was a reasonable inference, but it was not the correct answer. What the two rotten things, Uther and Cordelia, were thinking was more than that.
“ha!”
Cordelia, in her witch-like state, threw herself into the magic circle where the ritual was unfolding. She poured her witch’s magic into the Solari’s Holy Lance in her hand and aimed only at one point.
A land where a magic circle is spread out, not a magic circle.
The dragon vein is being polluted.
Crack in the crack!
“no way?!”
“Stop it!”
Not only Jarakul, but also the rough avalanche was shouted.
What Uther and Cordelia are trying to do.
This is what Jarakul did when he gave up on himself and decided to die together at the end of Act 2.
Makes the dragon veins go wild with powerful force.
This causes a huge earthquake, destroying the surrounding area.
There was a dragon vein.
And here was the mountain.
What would happen if the dragon vein went wild during this time?
“no!”
“Stop it!”
But it was already too late.
Cordelia raised the Solari’s Holy Lance high and shouted with an ecstatic smile as it began to blaze with the witch’s magic.
“Explosions are art! Fucking bang!”
He threw his spear into the dragon vein.
I recited the spell and activated the power of the Holy Spear, the power of Solari!
Boom-!
It blew up.
It exploded.
The axis shook, and Jarakul’s face turned pale. The rough avalanche also collapsed to the ground.
And the dragon vein went wild. The blue light didn’t just ripple, it started to surge upward. Dozens and hundreds of small cracks spread out from the crack. The entire rock mountain shook like crazy.
“You crazy bitch!”
That was it.
Jarakul could no longer see Cordelia, for the rock mountain had begun to crumble.
“Eww!”
“Save me!”
“My mountain! My mountain!”
The last cry was from the wild avalanche. And then, when everyone was focused on Cordelia, Yuder, who had appeared before anyone knew it, grabbed the back of the wild avalanche’s neck as he ran madly. He lifted the wild avalanche’s clone as if he were lifting a kitten and climbed onto the wooden board.
“Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
At that moment, the rocky mountain collapsed as the violent avalanche screamed.
The Scary Horn group, who were located in the middle of the mountain, were unable to escape the sudden disaster. This was because the rocky mountain collapsed in its entirety, whether it was the top or the middle, and they had no way to do anything.
“Eww!”
The screams of the barbarian warriors were drowned out by the loud noise.
The dragon vein went wild and exploded, and the pollutants that had been poured out were either bounced off or disappeared.
Wow, wow, wow.
It was a situation where a rock mountain that was hundreds of meters high was collapsing.
Many things disappeared in the endless roar.
The magic circle for the ritual, the tainted blood, the Jarakul, the barbarian warriors, and the main body of the wild avalanche!
“Ahh, ahhh······.”
As the rough avalanche rang out in a bewildered voice, Yuder stretched out his hand amidst the rising dust. And then there was someone who grabbed his hand.
“Coolook, ugh. The fine dust is really bad.”
It was Cordelia who soared with flying magic at the moment of the explosion.
Cordelia, covered in dirt and dust, spoke in a groan, and Uther smiled as he sat her down on the wooden board.
“Fuck, bang.”
“Because explosions are art.”
“Well done, Cordelia.”
“Praise him more and more.”
As always, the two people who had been exchanging words that only they knew looked at each other and smiled brightly, and the rough avalanche was thrilled in many ways by the sight of the two people smiling after the atrocity of collapsing a mountain.
And white rings of light rise around Uther and Cordelia.
“Two?”
“Two.”
What the two rings of light mean.
One, there were surprisingly many guys lying in ambush on the mountainside.
Two, still remain.
“Eww!”
A terrible roar erupted from underfoot.
Uther and Cordelia lowered their gazes, and Avalanche’s eyes opened wide.
Zarakul pushed away the large rocks and raised his body. The demon had already completed his transformation and was three meters tall, with abnormally developed muscles that made him look more like a monster than a human.
“You, you… you devilish bastards! What color is your blood!”
To bring down an entire mountain!
The rough snow avalanche unconsciously agreed with Jarakul’s cries, and Uther and Cordelia paid no attention.
No, rather, I was having more devilish thoughts.
“Isn’t this normal?
“I was badly hurt.”
“One of the horns was also broken.”
“I was in a hurry to mine myself to survive the moment I fell, but my magic got tangled up.”
“The injuries are serious.”
“My whole body is covered in blood.”
A cool-headed analysis.
The current Zaracool has lost half its power – no, it’s lost even more.
“Should I be careful when I’m cooking?”
“When you are not at your best, when you are weak, when you are defenseless. When you are weak or have a hostage taken.”
“Wow, he really is the devil.”
“So you don’t like it?”
“I love it. It’s my style.”
Uther and Cordelia looked at each other again and smiled, then placed a rough avalanche on the wooden board and used their Fly magic to land lightly in front of Jarakul.
“The boss fight will now begin.”
“The boss fight starts from phase 3.”
“What?”
At that moment, Jarakul and the rough avalanche were both confused.
Uther and Cordelia didn’t say anything further.
Forced the boss fight to begin.
