Chapter 593 – 593. Snow Woman (1)
“… Aren’t you too openly suspicious?”
In the midst of such a strong snowstorm, a log house that exists in the middle of the day.
No matter how thoughtless Erin was, she did not have the desire to enter that house that smelled like a trap.
“Yes.”
Eun-hyeon also smiled.
Could it be that he thought that he and Erin would fall into such an outright trap?
“But it’s not necessarily something to think about.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because when a sense of urgency or urgency begins to take hold in a person’s mind, their judgment begins to cloud.”
This log cabin is the place where adventurers, who have accumulated mental and physical fatigue due to the cold and wind that makes them sick to the bone and continuous battles with demon beasts, are driven to the limit and desperately want a rest.
Veteran adventurers who have been installed with experience from frequent mining of Orichalcum may have noticed that this log cabin is an outright trap because they are quite familiar with the geography of this mountain range.
However, in the case of newcomers who failed to do so, or adventurers who came from outside areas to try to make a big deal, it might be a trap that they are stuck in.
Eunhyeon and Erin’s level of fighting power was also different from others, and if they hadn’t climbed the mountain quickly from the beginning through snowmobiles, they wouldn’t have been able to come to this log house in such a short period of time.
Unlike other adventurers, the two of them, who had reached the front of the log house now with little effort, contemplated whether or not to fall into this trap quite calmly.
“Um… What are you going to do?”
In fact, I wasn’t even that tired, so I didn’t really think about going over here, knowing that it was a trap.
“Let’s go in.”
“Oh, really?”
However, hearing Eunhyun’s thoughts, Erin put on a puzzled expression.
“Why? Scared?”
“No. It’s not like that… Even knowing it was a trap, he said he would go in.”
“Sometimes you have to go into the tiger’s den yourself.”
Eunhyun walked toward the log cabin with Erin on her back.
I knocked on the door of the log house I reached after breaking through the snow.
“Are you there?”
The reaction in the house was swift as if they were waiting for Eunhyun’s visit.
A woman with blue hair appeared from the open log house and greeted Eunhyeon and Erin.
“… What are you doing?”
Eunhyun explained the situation while acting as exhausted as possible.
“We are adventurers. I’m really sorry… We’re so tired right now, can we just rest for one night and then go? Of course I will pay.”
“…”
The woman who seemed to be the owner of the log house didn’t answer right away, and checked Eunhyeon and Erin’s whereabouts.
The current appearances of the two were themselves adventurers in distress.
Their faces are extremely pale due to the continued cold, and the two men’s fur clothes, which have traces of having penetrated through the harsh blizzard, are full of frost.
To be honest, I wasn’t exhausted at all, but the hastily created directing and Eun-hyeon’s acting, which I made while carrying Erin on my back for a few minutes, worked well together.
“Come on in.”
The woman brought Eunhyeon and Erin into her own house.
Erin held her arms tightly around her neck and she brought her face close to his ear.
Then he whispered in a very low voice that only Eunhyun could hear.
“Hyunah. This person…”
“Know.”
Eunhyeon immediately cut off Erin’s words and confirmed it by nodding her head.
Erin, who received the power of the divine beast and had a special ‘Spiritual Eye’, immediately noticed the woman’s identity.
She couldn’t figure out how she took over the human body, but she was certain that the object possessed inside the female body was not human.
‘Is it specter after all?’
As Eun-hyeon predicted, the identity of the rumor that he was the devil of Kurdel Mountains was Specter.
It’s just a little different from Specter.
Ordinary specters do not have bodies that do not exist in reality, and are like ghosts composed only of tainted magic power and souls.
However, the woman in front of me had the body of a real human woman, and she was in a very mysterious state possessed by that body.
Originally, when the human body is exposed to contaminated mana, the entire body is eroded and demonization proceeds.
Unlike him, the woman, despite having contaminated mana in her body, has preserved her intact human body and plays an ordinary human.
‘Is this what the adventurers suffered?’
To other adventurers who can’t tell the difference between the specter’s existence, the woman in front of them will look like a normal human being.
So, of course, she had no choice but to let go of her guard.
For adventurers who couldn’t keep up with the accumulated fatigue and tension in their mind and body forever, this log cabin with human women would have been like a safe base camp.
“Why is that?”
When Eun-hyeon entered her house and stared at her, she put on a puzzled look.
“No. It’s nothing.”
Immediately she shook her head with a small smile.
“Are you living alone? Here?”
“Yes. She originally lived with her husband… He passed away last year and now lives alone.”
“It must be very difficult. Alone in such a steep mountain…”
Eun-hyeon put on a pitiful expression and tone as much as possible, and she agreed with the woman’s words.
“No. Are you okay.”
The woman’s response is very plain.
Perhaps Eun-hyeon’s compassionate gaze full of pity was very familiar to women.
Without knowing that she was a trap, the adventurers who visited this place must have sympathized and sympathized with her without knowing the truth.
In addition, she has an excellent off-white color to the point that I instantly thought that her appearance was also very beautiful.
Maybe her adventurers who had bad thoughts about her might have had bad thoughts about her when they saw her living alone in a remote place like this.
‘Should I hit it now? Or should I wait a bit?’
Eunhyun thought.
She is the only one alive, but when she hears from her innkeeper that in the village inn she committed suicide by sticking her sword to her own throat, she is brutally ripped off by a beast and her arms ripped open and her large body is broken. There were queer scars on her back from claws, she said.
In addition, it is necessary to check whether there is an Illyana from another parallel world behind this specter.
‘Should I pretend not to know for now?’
Eun-hyeon put down her Erin from her back and bowed her back to express her gratitude.
“Thank you for letting us in.”
“Thank you.”
Erin also saw her Eunhyeon’s behavior and realized her meaning, and immediately matched her rhythm.
After being thanked by both men and women, the woman nodded her head slightly.
After taking the lead and guiding Eunhyeon and Erin to the room where they were staying for the night, they continued talking.
“I was just preparing dinner. I’ll tell you as soon as I’m ready.”
“Yes.”
As the woman exited with a light nod, Erin immediately changed her expression and turned her head to her side.
“Hyunah. Uh…”
Erin, who noticed that the woman who is the owner of this house, pretending to be a human, is her specter, and she is about to discuss what to do next.
Eun-hyeon put her finger to her own mouth and gestured for her to be quiet.
Then she put her index finger forward.
“Ah.”
Erin confirmed the presence of translucent characters shaped like magical powers on her finger, which her Eunhyeon held out in front of her, and read her contents slowly.
She said, ‘I’m pretending not to know. They will attack us at night. Never sleep Just pretend to be asleep.’
A prudent judgment that the conversation might have leaked out and they might have noticed her identity.
“…”
Hearing her rough plan, Erin nodded her head with her heavy expression.
◆ ◆ ◆
After eating, the two went to sleep in the room.
It was only natural to see the faces of the two, who continued to walk through the snowy road, and who had a haggard expression at the end of the battle with the witches.
“Stupid things.”
The woman giggled and muttered softly to herself.
Her true identity is a specter with intelligence called the Snow Woman.
He possessed the body of a human woman he ate, built a house like this, trapped exhausted adventurers, and ate them, growing his strength until now.
Sometimes she transformed into a woman with a beautiful complexion and charmed male adventurers and made fun of them. She also had a bad taste in enjoying the ugliness that was gradually revealed while stirring up trouble among her fellow adventurers.
By absorbing the mana of her adventurers and increasing her own power, she was able to control the blizzard, which is the snow woman’s ability, more freely, and it became easier to prey on her humans.
If she gathered a little more strength, she had the idea of going down to the village and eating all the villagers, but perhaps because she ate all the adventurers who came up the mountain, there was an irony in her footsteps.
In a car where there have been few adventurers lately, thinking about the prey that has been around for a long time makes me smile no matter how much I try to hold back.
“How can I cook…”
Seeing the two men and women sleeping in the room he had prepared for them, he made plans over and over again.
“The woman’s side looked really delicious…”
Among her two male and female counterparts, the snow woman was paying special attention to the female one.
The clean aura that the woman had in her body in large quantities was more appetizing than any other human magical energy she had ever tasted, and it gave off a delicious smell.
The male side, on the other hand, felt very unattractive.
From the beginning, the magical power itself possessed in her body belonged to the very small side, and it was to the point of doubting how she had risen to this point from the village at that level.
“The woman seemed to really like the man…”
During dinner, Snow Woman figured out the relationship between her two men and women in advance.
As a married couple doing the work of adventurers, the woman was very attached to the man and showed off her affection by acting aegyo.
From a woman’s point of view, on the outside, the woman’s side belonged to the very strong axis, and the man’s ability seemed very unattractive, perhaps because it was impossible to judge.
Usually, in a relationship between a man and a woman, a person in a lower position tends to have a higher position than a person in a lower position.
However, between the two sexes, the woman acted as if the man was in a higher position.
“Well, how are you?”
However, the snow woman did not think deeply about the question.
For now she was only thinking in her head how she could relish both men and women.
“Ah, it would be fun to incapacitate the woman and play with the man in front of that bitch and then eat him. Kick.”
Eating just isn’t fun.
It was her hobby to catch and eat the screams and screams that the two men and women would hear, and the desperate faces they would show as seasoning.
If a situation comes when a man abandons the woman he cares for and likes and chooses himself, what kind of expression will the woman make?
Her heart swelled already as she imagined the face of that pretty woman with her indigo blue hair contorted with her rage after her husband had been taken away.
She had already had dinner with her and set aside her preliminary work.
When she plays a widow who lives alone in a remote mountain after her husband has died, all male adventurers who have been fishing so far have been fascinated by Snow Woman’s beauty and passionately appealed to her.
The same goes for the silver-haired man who came this time.
After hearing her fake story, the silver-haired man sincerely sympathized with her and sincerely sympathized with her.
Her blue-haired woman, who was her wife, showed her uncomfortable expression, and while pinching her husband’s arm, she complained about what she was doing, and there was even a small scuffle between her husband and wife. .
The snow woman was fascinated by her own whiteness and was convinced that the white-haired man had already crossed half way.
She never doubted it, because she had never failed so far, and she was even more self-confident.
“Are you going to give it to the young wife in front of her and take it away?”
At that time, I was going crazy because I wanted to quickly check the expression the woman would show.
Snow Woman carefully opened the door where the couple were sleeping.
“Are you sleeping?”
With a movement that didn’t even show signs of movement, let alone steps, he cautiously approached the bed where the man was sleeping.
And the car that tried to tease the man who would have been asleep by pulling back the blanket covering him.
“No. I waited for you.”
As soon as the blanket was pulled back by her snow woman, a man’s hand jumped out and quickly grabbed the snow woman’s neck.
“Oh!?”
As she pushed her against the wall as hard as she could, the little shocked Snow Woman groaned.
For a moment, she didn’t quite understand what had happened.
Seeing the expression of the white-haired man who pushed her, Snow Woman belatedly realized that she was thinking wrongly.
Besides, unlike the naive man who sympathized and sympathized with him in the evening, his cold-hearted and indifferent face.
“You… My identity from the beginning… !”
Her snow woman look distorted when she realized that the man hadn’t fallen for his appearance, he had been pretending to be.
“Sorry. The world of beauty doesn’t work for me. Since she already had four or five wives…”
The fist of the man who is holding the snow woman’s neck begins to be full of power.
“Do you know how hard I struggled to stop Erin from trying to tell her other wives that I had flirted with another woman, even after I explained it was acting?”
When the man still thinks of it, cold sweat starts to flow.
“Nice… Ugh!?”
