medusa.

A pitiful monster cursed to turn anyone who looks at him to stone.

In Greek mythology, the hero Perseus used the back of his shield as a mirror to approach Medusa without looking at her directly and behead her.

The strategy I’m trying to use with T-Balom is along the same lines.

A voice was heard muttering in disbelief from T-Balom, who was riding in front of the hoverboard.

“You’re just going to use me as Perseus’ shield.”

Similar, but to be exact, T-Balom is less cost-effective than Perseus’ Shield.

Perseus’ shield had a smooth back, allowing him to indirectly view Medusa, but T-Balom did not.

But since saying this would definitely make him angry, I decided not to nag T-Balom, who was always cooperating with me.

“I wish I had a mirror or something to replace it in my inventory, but I only have weapons so I can’t help it.”

“Then why don’t you just rush in with anything that can block your vision?”

“No, it has to be you.”

“Does it have to be me?”

“To be exact, you have to make the deer think that there is only one person attacking it.”

Snow deer can only stop the movement of things that make eye contact with them.

That is, T-Balom, who was standing in front, had his eyes closed.

It means that if I just drive the hoverboard, I can easily approach the snow deer.

However, even though the snow deer has low intelligence, it knows that its special ability does not work on an opponent who approaches it with their eyes closed.

If T-Balom notices that we are approaching with our eyes closed, he will not use his third eye and will try to attack us with his huge horn instead of his supernatural power.

However, if T-Balom approaches without avoiding eye contact as if he is unaware of the snow deer’s ability, the snow deer will wait quietly until he gets close enough to open his third eye in order to deceive his prey, as is his nasty habit.

When T-Balom sees that he has frozen, he will let his guard down, and I will take advantage of that gap to jump down on the snow deer’s forehead and cut off a handful of the center of its third eye, where the jewel is set.

Then just take out the jewel and feed it to T-Balom to finish farming.

So what I have in front of me is not just a simple shield, but a sacrifice that will let the snow deer down on their guard by using its powers on my behalf.

Anyway, the stun state will naturally lift over time, so it’s not particularly dangerous.

I also put a loop on T-Balom’s belt and my belt to prevent it from falling off after it hardens.

Snow Deer is not a monster that can use its hands like the Snow Giant, and now it has a hoverboard that can fly up to the location of the jewel, no matter how large it is, so it is actually easier to conquer.

T-Balom, who had heard my explanation, said as if he was tired of being dumbfounded.

“Aren’t you telling me to turn into a stone in the end? This is a very typical strategy of yours. That’s why you didn’t even give me a proper explanation and just put me in front.”

“Anyway, I’m not ‘fully grown’ yet, so I can’t cover your size.”

“Excuses are good, but.”

Even though he said that, he didn’t seem dissatisfied. Instead, he took out the meteorite knife and handed it to me, who was standing behind him, while he himself held a regular military knife.

The meteorite knife I received from T-Balom felt good in my hand, and despite its rough appearance, it felt smooth.

“Are you giving it to me?”

“It’s ‘borrowing’ it.”

T-Balom was about to lose his temper for a moment, but then he continued speaking in a genuine tone.

“You’re going to give it back anyway. Then I’ll kill you someday.”

Then he suddenly spoke in a tense voice.

“I’ve only tried to destroy your conquest. I didn’t know that I would become a part of your conquest.”

“Now you don’t even hide your fandom.”

“Avoid insulting remarks.”

Is it an insult to be called my fan?

“Enough chit-chat. Focus. He’s looking this way too.”

From my perspective, all I can see is T-Balom’s pure white back, but if T-Balom’s words are true, it seems like the snow deer are starting to show interest in us too.

As I glanced down, I saw the quadruped standing facing me, having stopped playing with the flying machine.

Grrrrrrr… … .

The air trembled faintly at the sound of a low, resonant cry.

It’s the laughter of a snow deer.

T-Balom was displeased with the laughter of the snow deer.

“You’re laughing so badly.”

The snow deer is a monster that really enjoys teasing other individuals, so it must be delighted to have met a foolish individual that has been attacking it for the first time in a while.

Even now, it was not deliberately avoiding us, but was just waiting for us to get closer.

To live up to the snow deer’s vain expectations, I increased the speed of the hoverboard.

When they were close enough to hear the deer’s breathing, Tibalom spoke.

“I see a vertical cut on your forehead. Is that your third eye?”

“that’s right.”

“Adjust the direction a little higher.”

I adjusted the direction as Shieldrom said, and soon after, I passed the snow deer’s nose and climbed up.

Grrrrr! Grrrrr!

I felt T-Balom’s body stiffen as he stood before me, accompanied by a strange laugh.

‘It’s now.’

I held the meteor knife that T-Balom had handed me tightly in my hand, increased my speed, and slammed the hoverboard into my third eye.

Grrr!

Even if it was a legendary monster, it must have felt pain when a foreign substance touched its eye. It shut its third eye tightly and raised its front paw while roaring.

The wind caused Tibalom to slip off his hoverboard, causing the belt connecting him to become taut.

I removed the link to Tibalom, hung it on the hoverboard, and placed Tibalom face down on top of it.

He jumped down onto the snow deer’s forehead, to the left of its third eye.

As I threw myself onto the white hide of the snow deer, the coarse hairs stung my whole body.

He gripped the coarse hairs that were wrapping around his palm tightly, and without further delay, he thrust the meteorite knife he was holding in his right hand into the third eye that was wrapped around him.

Even though I had clearly avoided the jewel in the center and was stabbing, the sensation of the blade piercing into my cornea did not feel like it was cutting through my cornea, but rather like it was cutting through soft rock.

Grrrrr!!

The snow deer’s roar grew louder, and it began shaking its head frantically as if trying to throw me off.

The hoverboard must have judged the surroundings to be dangerous, so it moved away from the snow deer with Tybalom on board.

‘phew.’

While I was relieved to see that, the snow deer started to rampage even more violently.

The meteorite knife embedded in my third eye showed no sign of coming out, and I held on, dangling from the knife.

It seemed as if the snow deer, realizing that I hadn’t fallen off, raised its head, and then the sensation of falling at an incredible speed enveloped my body.

Since he couldn’t get me off no matter how hard he tried, he decided to just throw me onto the snow with my forehead hanging from me.

‘jewel!’

Just before I crashed into the snowfield, I felt my third eye frantically.

At one point, something hard caught my fingertips.

As I tried to grasp it, I felt a palm-sized jewel firmly embedded between my corneas.

‘How do I do this… … .’

How can I get through the hard cornea that even a meteorite knife can barely cut through and get the jewel out?

Without even having time to think about it, I instinctively bent my finger and dug into my cornea.

To my amazement, the cornea accepted my finger without any resistance.

When I came to, I was holding the round jewel of a snow deer in my hand.

‘what?’

Without even having time to feel an eerie, unknown feeling.

My body was thrown onto the snowfield.

“Ugh!”

The wind slammed into me at such a tremendous speed that a sharp spasm ran down my spine, but I clenched my teeth and pulled the jewel I was holding tightly in my hand from the deer’s forehead.

And the next moment.

Without even a single scream, the heavy body of the snow deer that had been crushing me tilted to the side.

It soon fell down, causing a blizzard on the snowfield.

The crash was so loud that it shook the airships on the other side, and I was worried that Tibalom, who had been sent down to the ground, might have been caught up in it.

“ha…….”

I took a deep breath and looked at what I was holding in my hand. It was a round pearl-like gem, sparkling with a brilliant silver color.

Even though it had just been extracted from a living creature, there wasn’t a single drop of blood or a trace of life.

Just like the golden jewel Luna pulled out from the snow giant.

But the ominous thoughts didn’t last long.

Because Han Yeo-bom and the dentist, who had confirmed that the snow deer had fallen, jumped out of the plane and were running towards me.

“senior!”

“Heydam!”

Two people stopped next to me as I slid across the snow and began to check my condition.

Since I was able to move despite being thrown from a high place to the ground, I was able to pick up the star candy and eat it myself, but Han Yeo-bom had no choice but to put her hand on my back and begin to treat me.

“Senior, are you okay?”

I slowly opened my mouth, looking at the dentist who was asking me with concern.

“You guys, why don’t you come out of the plane until I catch all the snow deer… … .”

“Ah, ah, that, that’s Yeo-bom-ssi!”

“Well done.”

When I patted his shoulder with a satisfied look, the dentist, who was about to make an excuse, looked puzzled.

“Uh… Senior caught everything and we just hid. Did we do a good job?”

“Anyway, even if you came out, it would only have been a hindrance rather than a help. It’s enough that you didn’t even try to come out.”

“Ah… So that’s what Yeo-bom said… … .”

Perhaps Han Yeo-bom, who had come to understand her subject through many years of experience, had persuaded the dentist who was about to step out.

“Without even knowing that, I almost looked down on you, Yeo-bom, as a person who is like a blind wisdom tooth.”

I don’t know exactly what it means to be a person like a blind wisdom tooth, but I know that I shouldn’t do anything in life that would lead to me being treated like that.

Han Yeo-bom, who was almost treated like an ambush for wisdom teeth, was looking around instead of concentrating on our conversation.

“what’s the matter?”

“I don’t see the guy you were riding with. Did you use him as a shield and throw him away?”

It was only when Han Yeo-bom asked me that I remembered the existence of Tibalom, so I put my index finger and thumb in my mouth and whistled to summon the hoverboard.

Fortunately, it seemed as if it had not been caught in the falling snow deer, and a little further away, the hoverboard carrying the limp Tybalom was seen flying upward.

“You’re fine.”

“Is that okay?”

“No matter how I look at it, it looks like he’s lost consciousness.”

Although Han Yeo-bom and the dentist left malicious comments, it would be better for Tibalom to be passed out right now.

Because even if I wake up, I’ll just pass out again.

I know because I fainted when I received a supernatural ability.

“Tibalom?”

Han Yeo-bom spoke in a puzzled voice, wondering if she had opened Tibalom’s profile in the meantime.

“You’re the guy who impersonated me. You’re not a convenience store employee, you’re a player?”

“That’s right. If you’re a Knife Zone player, isn’t that the guy that my senior was talking about?”

Both Han Yeo-bom and the dentist had faces asking me to explain what was going on.

I’m not entirely sure why Tibalom has the face of a convenience store employee.

Like the Topamin addict, we can only guess that the Tibalom from another timeline is that Pyeonbalom.

When the story of the existence of other timelines came up, I had to explain to the two of them that the Unicorn Zone was the country from the previous episode, so I shook my head and said that I didn’t know anything about it.

‘Once the chicken section is cleared out, I’ll have to finish watching the Tibalom highlight video.’

As soon as I saw Kim Tae-jung in the Tibalom highlight video, I called Tae-jung without watching any more and just got my dopamine rush, so I didn’t get to see the rest of it.

Tibalom said that the employee stopped him, so that scene must have been filmed as well.

Before checking that video, first of all.

As promised to Tibalom, it is my turn to give him my supernatural powers first… … .

There was an unexpected ambush.

“Are you going to give it to me?”

Han Yeo-bom asked that with sparkling eyes.
