Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

After identifying the location of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence, and resting well at the hotel, we moved immediately the next day.

“Is it here?”

“That’s right.”

Following Soha’s guidance, who said he had checked the place where he felt the energy yesterday, we were able to reach an open space.

“However… seeing that the location of the ice essence’s power feels a bit different, it seems there was some movement.”

“Ooh… you mean the divine medicine moved on its own? That’s interesting!”

A divine medicine that moves on its own… Could this be the secret to how it remained intact without being caught all this time?

It’s not a big problem, and if I can obtain the divine medicine now because of it, that can be considered a gain in itself.

“It doesn’t seem to have moved much, so there shouldn’t be a big problem entering.”

Saying that, Chung Soha moved his magic power and opened a round path connecting to the ice essence by making a hole in the ground where cold air was flowing.

“My condition is quite good, perhaps because the cold air originating from the Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence is spread throughout the area. It’s interesting.”

“Is that so?”

They say this area maintains a cold temperature without rising even in summer.

It seemed that such an environment was making Chung Soha’s power of handling cold air even stronger. He’s already a superhuman who powered up after eating ice essence, isn’t he?

Of course… even if Soha says his condition is not good, unless he’s an EX-rank transcendent, he’s no match for our party that has gathered S-rank superhumans from all over.

‘Akame, Dalgi, Heukmyo, Soha, Ryuhwa, Suyeon, and even though she’s an artifact, adding Arin, and here Masanari too… Unless an EX-rank pops up somewhere, it’s not a lineup to be ignored.’

Wow, how many S-ranks are there? It’s formidable~!

Just the number of S-ranks here is more than the S-rank superhumans possessed by an average country… With a bit of exaggeration, you could say it’s a force comparable to a country?

‘Hmm… Am I a fortune-teller with state-level power for bringing such guys?’

Enough with the random thoughts, anyway, we went down along the path Chung Soha had laid out.

“Whoa! A slide!”

By making it slippery with ice like a slide, we could go down quickly.

The place we arrived at was a space deeply permeated with cold air.

“It’s not that big?”

“But it’s not something to be ignored. It’s no different from a burst dungeon.”

“Rather than no different, it would be more fitting to say it is a burst dungeon. I guess this is indeed a land containing a precious divine medicine?”

“Looks like they won’t just let us take it? There’s a house owner in front too?”

It was a space where you could feel quite a bit of pressure, but it seemed the superhumans around me had already finished their assessment.

They seemed to be making some battle preparations, but they weren’t too tense.

There seems to be something guarding the divine medicine inside, but it doesn’t seem to be of an extraordinary level. If it was, they wouldn’t be this calm, right?

“Hm… This is quite exciting? A great divine medicine and its guardian! It’s like a manga situation!”

“Is this opportunity not common even for S-rank superhumans?”

“Of course not, teacher! You can’t get a divine medicine of this level just because you want it! It’s something you can experience only if you’re lucky! Even the transcendents above us probably don’t have many experiences of finding such divine medicines?”

“It seems more fitting to say that such powerful beings didn’t even bother to look for it…”

“Heh, so obtaining divine medicines is quite a difficult task?”

To be precise, it’s a precious divine medicine that would work even for those at the S-rank level.

“In that sense, the existence of the teacher who can just look at cards and tell where divine medicines are, how to obtain them, and how to consume them, was quite shocking.”

“Was it to that extent?”

Well, it is precious. And hard to find.

Anyway, we continued walking crunching through the space covered in cold air.

It didn’t seem like a space where a weak ordinary person like me could enter originally, but because Chung Soha and Arin were protecting by flowing magic power, I could be fine except for feeling a bit cold.

“Hya, that aside, it’s quite a beautiful space, isn’t it?”

“It does look like a garden intricately carved out of ice!”

Yet it had a very strong natural feel, which made it even more beautiful.

Not that I have any intention of maintaining it though. It’s enough to have seen it properly.

Anyway, as we kept moving forward, we saw a not-so-large but intricately crafted, solidly positioned semi-transparent blue ice door, and a large white furry thing standing guard right in front of that door.

“It seems to be the guardian protecting the divine medicine… Hmm, is that a yeti?”

It did look like a white furry ball, but it had a face and limbs too.

“As it’s guarding a precious item that can influence the city beyond its enshrined space, it won’t be an ordinary being. It probably transformed into a unique species beyond its original species by receiving and accepting the energy of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Essence.”

“In other words, it evolved?”

“That’s right. It would probably be difficult to identify what species it originally was.”

“I see?”

We were talking calmly even with that white furry guardian right in front of us.

I was calm because I felt my friends beside me would protect me, but my friends were just naturally calm. It seems that no matter how strong that guardian was, it wasn’t stronger than the combined strength of all the people here.

And it seemed that guardian felt the difference in strength too.

“Is that friend sweating cold sweat now? Cold sweat comes out even in this cold…”

Seeing it tremble and drop a few beads of cold sweat while fixing its gaze on us, it seemed scared.

“Being able to assess the opponent’s capabilities and properly observe oneself is also part of skill. That’s why it seems to know well that it can’t win against everyone here. It’s impressive that it doesn’t recklessly charge even when intruders have come.”

“It’s certainly strong, but it met the wrong opponents? Still, it’s more than enough to be at S-rank level, so if only one person had come, it would have taken quite some time?”

Heh, they’re not saying they’ll lose? They seem confident.

However, that guardian wasn’t just trembling forever either.

It muttered something in monster language that we couldn’t understand, and then it took a stance and started glaring at us with a determined expression as if it had made up its mind.

They say knowing the difference is also a skill, but isn’t it a fight you can’t avoid even if you know? I guess such things happen in life too?

And as if reading that being’s thoughts, the superhumans around me also took their stances.

[I will take charge of protecting the master.]

“That’s reassuring, Arin?”

As I stepped back a few steps and Arin blocked the front, maintaining her position, the monsters who had reached the tremendous realm called S-rank started to move.

Even though the space wasn’t that large, as if such things weren’t even obstacles, they instantly pressured and overwhelmed the guardian with tremendous speed and flashy, powerful techniques that I couldn’t even see what they were doing.

[Ki, kiik…!!]

“It seems to be saying something like ‘C-cowards…!!’?”

[I feel the same way. To be ganged up on by such skilled individuals… it wouldn’t feel good.]

Well, although I couldn’t see how the fight was unfolding, I could clearly tell that the guardian was being easily overwhelmed.

I could see its injuries increasing without being able to do anything properly.

At this rate, the fight would probably end soon?

“Hmm, before that…”

Since we’re going to win smoothly anyway, in this situation, wouldn’t it be okay to try an experiment?

What I’m thinking of experimenting with is something I felt when that strange life form cosplaying as a meteorite falling from the sky in Mongolia suddenly died that day.

‘Is this also an awakening if you call it that?’

Should I say it feels like I can do something more advanced?

It seems like this could be used in battle too, so I’m thinking of trying it out this time.

So what this is…

“Hmm… let’s see…”

I frowned slightly while looking at the guardian getting thoroughly beaten, and then murmured,

And at that moment,

[Ki, kit?!]

Slip!

“??”

“…?”

“?!”

The white furry guardian really slipped greatly and hit its head on the ground with a thud.

And the S-rank superhumans who witnessed the ridiculous sight of this being that was desperately holding on, and handles cold air at that, slipping greatly, were taken aback and stopped moving for a moment.

“…It really slipped?”

Lee Suyeon, who was amazingly checking with her sniper rifle beside me, blinked her eyes as if dumbfounded and looked at me, and I also scratched my cheek in bewilderment and muttered,

“Wow… this works?”

I tried it because I thought it might work, but it works even against a strong being at S-rank level??

Hehe, this amateur fortune-telling of mine… it might have been even more amazing than I thought?
