Chapter 80

The cold of the North Pole bothered our flesh. It was only thanks to Solar that we could avoid freezing to death.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ says the duration of Solar is ending.]

I stopped the group for a moment. “Let’s stop for a bit!”

The party stopped and we could see Solar’s fire scattering. It was like a candle on the verge of going out. Solar finally disappeared and once the cooldown ended, I summoned it again.

[Elemental of the Sun - Solar has been summoned.]

[Solar is melting the ice around it.]

[All targets within a certain range will gain tolerance to the cold.]

Kim Sujeong asked, “You can summon Solar more often?”

“Yes, it is over level 50 so the cooldown time is the same as the summoning time.”

“Aha.”

In fact, I was relieved. If Prometheus hadn’t told me it was better to raise Solar’s level, our group would’ve frozen to death here.

“Father, didn’t you study this place?”

“Huh? Yes, indeed.”

“Are there any monsters around here?”

I had a moment of doubt at her question. Come to think of it, there used to be monsters here...

Since it was a place full of ice, monsters with the ice attribute came out. We had traveled for 10 minutes yet hadn’t glimpsed a single monster. I hoped they wouldn’t come out like this...

However, that wasn’t possible.

“Kuweeeeeoh!”

There was a snowstorm and we felt the ground shaking. Kim Sujeong lost her center of gravity and was about to fall when I grabbed her shoulder.

“T-Thank you.”

“It seems a monster has emerged.”

“I think so.”

I naturally turned toward Gyeonso Dragon. He was the type who always rushed into battle to attack the monsters.

...As expected, he was a good guy. He was reassuring as an ally but one day, I would have to duel with him in the Colosseum. Damn, I should’ve just said no.

[The fist star, ‘Raitra,’ is looking forward to the battle that is going to happen.]

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ says the attack of Rising Sun will be weakened.]

I quickly activated the Flying Weather Dance and used Rising Sun. Kim Sujeong had leveled up and used her newly acquired buffs on us. “Protection of Light, Divine Blessing, Bless, Freedom of Light.”

I knew Bless but Freedom of Light was new to me.

[Freedom of Light is filling you to the brim.]

[Attack speed and movement speed are increased by 1.5 times for 10 minutes.]

Ohu. This was good. I felt my body’s movements become lighter. A short time later, the monster that caused the earthquake appeared.

[Lv. 180 Ice Golem]

The identity of the earthquake was a huge ice golem. It was a monster from my memories. It was originally a monster made up of magical stones but now ice had replaced the role of stones. One of its huge arms soared into the sky before striking the ground.

We quickly dodged it. Sujeong’s movements were slow so I grabbed her and dodged together. Then I quickly attacked the arm that was stuck in the ground.

[The target has the ice attribute.]

[The sun attribute damage is halved.]

[Damage of physical attacks is also slightly reduced.]

“Damn, it was like this.”

I had expected it but the attack was less effective than I thought. The sun attribute was natural but physical attacks were also reduced. This was an unexpected situation.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ says that the sun attribute has the effect of ignoring the enemy’s physical defense.]

...This was the case. Then it made sense. Since the sun attribute had weakened, the ignore defense option had also weakened. Even so, I wasn’t discouraged. It was a bit upsetting but I had expected it from the beginning. I called out to Gyeonso Dragon who was attacking the ice golem’s side. “Gyeonso Dragon!”

“Yes, Brother!”

“Come over here!”

He stood in front of me and I held out my fist. Gyeonso Dragon was confused. “Do you want to open a star cluster? It is already open...”

“That isn’t it. There is no time so stick it out.”

He smiled and struck my fist. Then I looked up at the sky. “Raitra, I need your strength. Do you know what I mean?”

[The fist star, ‘Raitra,’ is nodding.]

[‘Prometheus’ and ‘Raitra’ are bumping fists with each other.]

At this moment, blue lightning fell from the sky.

“T-This?” Gyeonso Dragon was quite surprised. It was natural. This was Raitra’s blue lightning.

[Raitra’s blue lightning is temporarily sent to you.]

[You have insufficient resistance to lightning. A time limit of 30 minutes will be given.]

[The power of lightning is reduced by half.]

“...It is half.”

Gyeonso Dragon was staring blankly next to me. He looked really shocked. “How did you...”

I couldn’t answer him. The ice golem once again started to swing its arms. This time, it swung from left to right, not from top to bottom. I cried out a skill name based on Raitra’s memories running through my head, “Lightning Law.”

The power of blue lightning made a sound and my legs were full of its strength. A thrilling sensation stimulated the peripheral nerves of my body and penetrated my entire body.

[The constellation skill ‘Lightning Footwork’ is activated.]

[The energy of lightning has stimulated your nerves.]

[Instant acceleration is increased by three times.]

I disappeared in an instant and appeared on the shoulders of the ice golem. I kicked its face while declaring, “Lightning Dragon Angle.”

A festival of fire and lightning broke out. I constantly kicked its head without breaking. It was a collaboration between Rising Sun and Lightning Dragon Angle. It was amazing. I didn’t think it would be this much. Raitra’s lightning paralyzed the ice golem and pierced the defense. Naturally, the damage of Rising Sun went in normally and this produced tremendous synergy. The head of the ice golem quickly turned to tatters and fell off.

However, there was no message about acquiring experience. The golem was a nucleus-powered entity driven by magic power. This meant that it couldn’t move without the nucleus. I watched the ice golem trying to move without a head and hurried to find the nucleus.

“It’s here.”

I kicked the chest of the ice golem straight away. The appearance of the nucleus became visible. It was shining like a cold crystal ball. I reached out to try and pull out the nucleus. Then...

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is telling you to stop!]

“Why?”

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is telling you to melt it before touching it.]

Ah, I see. My right hand was almost lost. The nucleus of the ice golem couldn’t be taken out in the usual manner. I could suffer from cold poisoning if I wasn’t careful so I had to melt it with fire magic...

“Solar.” I would melt it with the sun.

“What’s the matter? Master! Hehe.”

“Can you melt this a little bit?”

“Understood! I’ll do it right away!”

Solar reached the nucleus and the ice quickly melted. It turned out that the real nucleus was within the crystal ball. I quickly got the nucleus.

[Ice Golem’s Nucleus has been acquired.]

[Experience has been acquired.]

[Your level has risen! x3]

This might be a better hunting ground than I thought? I just caught one but I gained three levels. I smiled and checked the information of the nucleus.

[Ice Golem’s Nucleus]

[Rating: Heroic

The nucleus of the ice golem that exists only in the North Pole.

It will cause cold poisoning if it is acquired in the normal way. It needs to be melted with fire to be acquired. It is the crystallization of magic power and is one of the best magic power materials.

You can get a pretty high price if you sell this to the Magician’s Guild.

-Slowly restores 50% of maximum magic power when ingested.

-The ice attribute damage is temporarily increased.]

It was as I thought. In fact, this was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the ice golem emerge. Half of the magic power would be restored unconditionally, regardless of the amount of magic power. Of course, I didn’t intend to use it because I didn’t have a lot of magic power. Still, it was clear that it could be sold for a lot of money.

“I can trade this for a sword for Mido.”

I was still very concerned about the Bloody Butcher’s Sword that I saw a few days ago. The function was good but the outward appearance was rather bad. The worst part was that it was given to her as a gift by Kim Hyeonu or something. That bad guy. He thought he could get my granddaughter?

I glared down at the nucleus while Gyeonso Dragon approached from behind. “Brother, you always surprise me.”

“Were you surprised?”

“Does that need to be asked? Haha.” Gyeonso Dragon laughed while showing his teeth.

Kim Sujeong asked, “No, how can you use that?”

“It is possible because our heavenly star’s nature is the same.”

Of course, it didn’t matter for me.

“How do you know this...?”

Damn, it was annoying to keep answering. I’m sorry, Prometheus.

“Prometheus told me.”

“Father, you have a huge constellation. I’m really envious.”

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is angrily saying that he isn’t a constellation.]

Prometheus said so but she couldn’t hear it. She hadn’t eaten a Star Fruit yet.

Gyeonso Dragon opened his mouth, “What is Lightning Dragon Angle?”

“Huh? Raitra didn’t tell you?’

“Yes.”

“You have also suffered. Tsk tsk.”

I told him about Raitra’s lightning. In fact, Raitra’s lightning wasn’t just for the fists. It was just that Raitra didn’t tell him because Raitra had become a constellation with his fists. Well, I didn’t need to tell him this.

“You can’t use it even if you know. Your fists are great so you should take pride in them. It is easier for me to kick so I used my feet.”

Gyeonso Dragon nodded like he had gained enlightenment. I turned my head toward the welsh wolves. I didn’t know his name but the wolf who was the largest and called Number One walked over and said, “I thought you would need help but you are strong people.”

“Yes, we have to level up.”

“Level up? What is that...?”

“It means we have to be stronger.”

“I see. Then we can stand still?”

“Yes, that would be appreciated.”

[The wolf star, ‘Romelana,’ congratulates you on your victory.]

Oh, she was here. Did she originally have this quiet personality? Indeed, she felt like a lady. Each constellation had their own personality. Some were youthful, some were dignified, and some were naughty and playful. Among them, Romelana was a dignified constellation.

On the other hand, these guys...

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is wiping snot on ‘Raitra.’]

[The fist star, ‘Raitra,’ has spilled the ssanghwa tea.]

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is hitting ‘Raitra’ because his clothes are wet.]

...These noisy guys should die. I couldn’t sense a single shred of dignity from them. What were these guys? Sigh.

Just then, Kim Sujeong pointed somewhere. “Look over there! A blizzard is coming!”

Everyone turned back at her words. There was really a blizzard. It was getting closer and closer, and it was familiar.

[Lv. 185 Ice Golem]

[Lv. 181 King Kong Snowman]

[Lv. 190 Freezer Taurus]

.......

.......

“...Bullshit.”

I turned my head back toward the welsh wolves. They backed away with a moonwalk.
