Paper 146 – Thermal Field
From nob le mt l. co m
Mercia Guild.
It was a small party of 8 people. It was a solid A-rank guild equipped with two tanks, mages, and healers.
In order to reach [Tears of Snow Mountain], which is said to be the most difficult in [Snow Mountain in Reversal], I invested the money I had accumulated over the years.
He bought a flying artifact sold at the most famous [General Store of Trust] in [Artisan’s Street], which is trending these days.
You only need to catch three Hersias.
Because there is one mage, three flying artifacts are purchased. I bought a cheap 7 billion won.
Total 21 billion.
That’s a lot of money.
It is an amount that most hunters can comfortably enjoy their entire lives even after retiring. However, for those who reached the average grade A, it was the money that would end with buying some equipment, and it was also the first step towards S grade.
However, that dream began to crumble in an instant.
“Aagh! These crazy bastards, why are you rushing all of a sudden!”
“He said he wouldn’t mind even if he killed one guy next to him!”
“Damn it!”
While hunting a hersia, the camp was broken when an object rushed from the side attacked the wizard and healer.
It was from then.
With the magician’s base, Healer survived, but because the party was split in two, they had to fight an unwinnable battle.
Then one of the support tanks died.
Healer’s leg was crushed.
“Retreat! Get out right away!”
announced a retreat.
I couldn’t help it.
The dead can’t help it.
Now, I can save one healer with an injured leg and go back. If this is the case, the raid will not be established anyway.
But that was to be hoped for.
“Quaaagh!”
The wizard’s back turned.
He didn’t die right away, but he fell limply as if his lower body was paralyzed.
There are three flight artifacts.
The wizard needs to pull one person with [Floating], but at this rate, one person has to be given up. Even with high-quality flying artifacts, carrying two people was the limit.
The party leader, tanker Kim Seong-hyun, muttered blankly as he watched Hersia rushing in front of him.
“Damn it.”
I gave up.
I didn’t want to die like this, but the auxiliary tanker who died in front of me was his younger brother, and the magician named Mijin, who had turned around, was a married couple with an archer next to him, so he won’t leave this place either.
I didn’t want to live alone.
How do you get out of that guilt for the rest of your life? No, in fact, I didn’t even have the confidence to get out alone.
It wasn’t just the two Hersias.
A few came running from behind.
‘This is how you die.’
I had no choice but to give up.
Did greed cause anger?
How good would it have been if I had been satisfied with the A grade and retired. I would have lived comfortably if I had bought a small building near Yangpyeong, which has recently emerged as a safe city, without buying flying artifacts.
What is the S grade?
Did you risk your life to do this?
He despaired and gave up.
But then.
Taang-!
sound of firearms.
Sunghyun Kim was puzzled.
There are no gunners in this party. If so, is there someone? But I can’t catch as many Hersia as Gunner.
But what if it’s a party?
Yeah, there’s no way Gunner would come here alone. There is a party and Gunner has turned off aggro.
Seonghyun Kim turned around with expectations.
“… … Damn, I’m alone.”
His expectations were shattered.
But that was only for a moment.
Taaang-!
A single gunshot was heard.
why do you keep shooting?
Do you think you can kill Hersia with that?
At that time, Hersia attacked from behind the strange gunner wearing a coat and even a robe. Seonghyun Kim shouted because he could have died if he did that.
“back! Watch out!”
he didn’t look back

Maybe he didn’t hear it, he just raised the gun and showed it.
what is it
‘Was it just sickness X?’
however.
A strange wave began to surf beside him, creating a long whirlpool.
‘A water wizard?’
damn it
one more drink
Water magic doesn’t work here. This is because it is cold air with magic power, and it is on top of [Tears of Snow Mountain], which has the strongest cold air even in snowy mountains.
Quadd Deuk!
I knew it.
Parts of the stream began to freeze.
“… … huh?”
But the water flow did not stop.
No, should I say whip of ice? Several long whips, which seemed much harder than water, were pierced at Hersia, who rushed behind the man, and Hersia was skewered without any resistance.
“What is this-”
he was bewildered
But I got hope.
I turned around to call a party member.
“… … !”
There was no
There was no that terrible hersia.
None of them were standing, and I could see three of them lying face down. His party members also looked dumbfounded, as if they didn’t know what had happened.
Taang-!
another step.
it was thunder
Waves of powerful magical power. The electromagnetic pulses swirling in the waves looked like Zeus punishing them.
Kwagwawang-!
A single bolt of lightning disappeared into the icy forest.
I thought there was no standing Hersia. However, something appeared in the forest of ice that was shot by lightning.
thump, thump… … thud… … .
Loud footsteps.
It was Hersia the Predator. However, the sound of footsteps gradually slowed down, and when the figure was fully revealed, Kim Seong-hyun could tell.
A hole in the middle of the forehead.
and.
Whoop-!
Hersia, the fallen predator.
It was an unbelievable sight.
* * *
“Hu-I was almost late.”
One person was not saved.
This is because Jihoo died before he even realized the danger here.
‘It can’t be helped.’
He took out [Thunder] and started shooting them one by one.
When [Super Sense] and [Clairsight] were combined, unbelievable accuracy came out. In addition, the trail of [Thunder] distorts the space and flies at the marked enemy.
A big and dull monster like Hersia could never be avoided. The same goes for destructive power. Hersia of level 7 to 8 could not stand it.
The predator class that appeared last was difficult.
That’s why [Witch’s Power] was included.
– [Witch’s Power] dwells in [Tungsten Bullet].
– [Tungsten Bullet]’s magic circuit is damaged.
-The durability of [Tungsten Bullet] is drastically reduced.
The bullet itself was difficult to withstand [Witch’s power]. However, it didn’t matter because the bullets flew only in an instant.
-[Dragon Witch] reacts.
-Experience of [Dragon Witch (Lv. 05)] increases.
-[Witch’s Ego (Taste) (Lv. 08)] is wriggling.
Several system phrases were visible.
I don’t know the details yet, but it was certain that the more I used it, the more I got used to it and the experience value went up.
‘I should use it a little more.’
The witch’s power was great.
It pierced the forehead of the level 9 Hersia at once. To be honest, I didn’t think it would be successful all at once. I tried to shoot exactly where I hit it one more time.
However, the witch’s power that Jihoo contained ate up one level. With lowered durability and damaged magic circuits.
“After- it’s over.”
Five hersias.
one predator.
how did this happen
According to Jihoo’s common sense, Hersia doesn’t run around all at once. If it wasn’t for that characteristic, this place wouldn’t be just A grade.
It must have been more than S grade.
“… … excuse me.”
it’s a tank
A large middle-aged man who appears to be the party.
“thank you. Thank you very much. Thanks to them, we all survived.”
“… … I don’t think it’s all, but I’m glad.”
“Huh, great. really. thank you.”
There was nothing Jihoo could say.
I can only express my regret.
* * *
While rescuing them, Jihoo called team leader Oh Yong-pil.
– You did a great job. Do you have any injuries?
“Yes, it’s fine. But this party is seriously injured.”
Jihoo came down the snowy mountain.
The chill was gone and the blizzard had calmed down. In the back, the Mercia Guild was following with the injured on a stretcher.
– I will tell you. Someone from the Dungeon Management Department will be there. It would be correct to write the case investigation report at the Mercia party.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
-no. I’m more grateful. Although Mercia Guild is a new A-class guild, it is promising in the future because of its good skills. Kim Seong-hyun, the party leader, tends not to forget grace, so he will be able to help later.
“Well, not what I was hoping for. By the way, I’ll stay in that field a little longer.”
– Sure, take it easy. We will hand over the wounded.
Jihoo hung up the phone and relayed it to them.
Then, the party leader Kim Seong-hyun, the tanker, and the rest of the hunters bowed their heads and expressed their gratitude. Jihoo was embarrassed, but accepted and turned his back.
‘Hoo, let’s take a few raw stones of cold energy.’
It is ice with cold properties, but it is difficult to collect. However, once you know how to collect it, there are so many places to use it.
That’s how Jihoo was able to return to the grocery store late at night.
“Oh, it’s hard.”
It wasn’t easy.
The cold is also cold, but from mountain climbing to collecting cold ore. I’ve been moving all day and my socks and shoes are sore.
“I have to move right away, though.”
[Hersia’s Snowflake (Lv. 07)]
: A snowflake that blooms from the combination of the excrement of Hersia, the giant yeti, and the highest level of cold air from the tears of the snowy mountain.
* [Greater Frost Crystal]
Eating [Higher Cold Crystals] will give you [Higher Cold Resistance] for 60 minutes, and processing into Elixir will give you [Low Cold Resistance].
But Jihoo is completely different.
By consuming this snowflake, I was able to extract the entire [Higher Cold Crystal].
“This is a real scam.”
It’s been like that since extracting the artifact’s option, but it’s definitely great. In particular, this snow flower gradually loses its function after escaping from [Tears of Snow Mountain], but Jihoo was able to maintain [Advanced] because he extracted it right on the spot.
‘I gain cold resistance by holding crystals in my body. That means that it is less affected by cold by converting the attributes of the body into cold.’
That’s why I found this to go to the desert ruins and the 11th floor. Because it has the cold attribute, it can also be used as fire resistance.
Of course, it requires the interference of a magic circuit that is different from the two things of eating and elixir. But it wasn’t that difficult for Jihoo.
It was especially easy when it was extracted with the [Advanced Cold Crystal] option itself.
‘I searched for three hours and only found three.’
It was a pity.
It would have been nice if there was President Jeong Woo-yeon, so I could have saved four guns, but it didn’t go my way.
But somehow I found this.
[Hersia’s Horn (Lv. 08)]
: It is the horn of a predator-class individual among the giant yeti Hersia. Hersia’s horns contain strong cold air and powerful magic power.
* [Advanced Cold Control]
* [Medium Cold Storage]
* [Intermediate Magical Accumulation]
* [Medium mana Store]
It was a place to store cold and magical energy. Hercia showed excellent fighting skills based on her strong physical abilities, but what was more terrifying than that was [Ice Beam], a mixture of cold and magic.
Not only does the physical defense of normal tanks not work, but if you don’t have a strong fire attribute or cold resistance, you can’t do anything and freeze.
Of course, it wasn’t that Hersia was dull, so there was no room for attack. Like Jihoo, sweeping away before using [Frozen Beam] is another way.
“I think I can find a good way to use this.”
[Witch’s Robe] has a strong water attribute.
What if you mix cold air here?
‘Water is strong. Water is stronger than ice. If you mix cold air, you can freeze and throw away the goodness of water.’
But what if you could mix chill only when you need it? What if you could have that delicate cold control?
That would be an advantage without a disadvantage.
The mechanism is simple.
“Put [Higher Cold Crystal] into [Magic Stone] and make it into an automatic charging battery through [Accumulation], [Storage], [Circulation], [Amplification], and [Conversion]. Like a generator, it turns mana into cold air and preserves it.”
Originally I was just going to do this.
The goal was to use [thermal field] for [warming]. So, I tried to collect one snowflake per person.
But if you have horns, you don’t have to.
“The horn has [accumulation] and [storage] of magic power, so you can replace the magic circuit with the amount of magic power that can handle it. Put the generation of [thermal field] in the [storage] of cold air and lower ego in [control]… … is too much, and it should be possible to create an active force field by inserting intermediate artificial intelligence.”
rough idea.
But at the same time, the circuit design was finished in my head. It was a design that was not too difficult compared to the production I had done so far.
When three days passed like that, I was able to complete it.
