Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

The king of the yetis, Shark-Hati, did not know how he was born or why he had such a name. He just knew that it was there in his memory, so he called himself that.
The first thing Shark-Hati did when he appeared in the world was to instinctively recognize his fellow yetis and make them create weapons.

He didn’t have any memories, but somehow, he could make weapons, and somehow, he could make armor, and somehow, he could tame and ride mounts.

The ‘memories that weren’t there’ pointed Shark-Hati to only one path: to go out and destroy the world. Burn everything to the ground.
All the yetis followed his orders without doubt. They didn’t know where their fellow yetis came from, but as soon as they were created, they perfectly understood their roles.
Time passed, and finally, Shark-Hati was ready to go out with the best-crafted axe, the largest mount, and the finest armor. He was brimming with confidence.
“Should I catch a few of them as well? It might be a bit lacking if only the leader is taken as a sample.”
“You’re talking like you’re picking fruit.”
Shark-Hati couldn’t believe that his subordinates, who he thought were unstoppable, had been defeated by just one human. He ran away, but he couldn’t believe what had just happened.
All the yetis around him had died. The horrible screams as their limbs were twisted in the wrong direction broke the morale of the others. Only a few yetis had been captured since then.

ㅡ”Gather!!!!!! Gather all of you!!!!!!”
Shark-Hati roared loudly, summoning all the yetis scattered in the snowy mountains. In the distance, the sound of a horn could be heard, and yetis riding their mounts came rushing in.
Shark-Hati pushed his subordinates forward and stood at the back. First, he would let the other yetis tire them out, and then he would go forward and kill the human. This was not cowardice, but strategy.
After killing the human, he would desecrate and tear apart the bodyㅡ
“Did you see that? If we just follow it, it will call for its subordinates.”
“Yes. We don’t need to look around anymore.”
However, the humans seemed to be in high spirits, despite being surrounded by over a hundred yetis. The humans were casually muttering in their own language, as if they were not concerned at all.
“Should we just let this one live and follow it? It will probably escape through the Gate.”

“It’s faster to do this than to wander around in this blizzard.”
I put away the useless map.
It had just been proven that it was much more convenient to let the leader live and follow it than to wander around in this terrible blizzard looking for the Gate and the remaining yetis.

“It’s unexpected that they are already out and about, though.”
I frowned as I looked at the Gate. Karna did the same.
The Dungeon Break had not occurred yet. According to calculations, there was still more than a month left for this Gate to break. But the yetis were already out and about to begin their activities. It was a mystery how they could do that.
“Well, it’s not our job to figure that out. Let’s just go in.”

“Yes.”
Karna followed me, fiddling with her sword. She had been twiddling her thumbs ever since I cleared the Gate without her, so she seemed eager to swing her sword.
“I’ll keep it a secret, so you can catch a few of them. Anyway, as long as we keep our mouths shut, no one will ever find out.”
“Keep ourㅡ?! Cough, cough. No, no. That’s not right. They’re your targets, Mira. Why are you trying to push them onto me?”

Karna’s fingers twitched, showing that she was restless inside. I smirked.
She used to have such a weak personality.’
If it weren’t for the fact that she had been turned into a killer, she would still be the same weak person. But now, she was so eager to swing her sword. She seemed to have undergone a big change after returning to being human.
There was no need to worry about her turning into a killer again.
‘If she was going to, she would have done it already, but.’

I stepped through the Gate, and an ancient ruin greeted us.
In the distance, there was a strange-looking structure made of stone, and a wall stood between the Gate and the city.
It was indeed a city, a word that did not seem out of place to describe it. The only differences were that the inhabitants were yetis instead of humans, and that they were hostile towards us.
And instead of arrows or magic, ballistas were aimed at us from the wall.

ㅡ”Uwooo!”
The yetis were manning a giant ballista that required five yetis to operate. The yeti leader, who had run away, was now standing on the wall, encouraging his subordinates.
I couldn’t help but laugh. That yeti leader was as strong as a twin-headed ogre, and the yetis he leads were as big as trolls.
But they were shooting ballistas? If they had appeared on Earth, it would have been a terrifying event.
ㅡ”Kuo!”
As soon as the yeti leader lowered his hand, the ballista fired with a loud sound. I reacted instinctively, slightly twisting my upper body.
I held Eternity out to the side, and the blade replaced my body in the path of the arrow.
The center of the arrow, which was several meters long, was accurately pierced by the transparent blade. There was a slight recoil in my left arm from withstanding that immense power. I put strength into my elbow.

ㅡ”Kwadduk!”
The arrow, which had been precisely cut in half vertically, shook the ground and created dust and vibrations.

ㅡ”……”
The yetis were speechless, as if they had lost the ability to speak. Even though there were still nineteen loaded ballistas left, none of them dared to shoot.
“Are you really going to do it?”
I nodded, and the yetis, who had been staring at the floating sphere above my left hand, finally moved.
I drew a magic circle and rotated it clockwise. The sphere, which had been floating above my left hand, began to rise as it gained speed. The yetis’ eyes were fixed on the purple, spherical object that was glowing with electricity.

Soon, lightning filled the sphere.

The electricity, with its immense power, made the yetis’ fur stand on end even from a distance of several meters. The yeti leader finally realized the danger and pointed his finger, but it was too late.

ㅡ”Kwa-gwa-gwa-gwang!”
A bolt of lightning struck out of the clear blue sky.
The lightning from the sphere instantly turned the closest yeti into ashes. The yetis were terrified as they watched their comrade turn into a handful of ashes, not just burned to death.
Two, three. The lightning continued to strike and explode the yetis. The power was so great that even the yetis standing next to the ones struck were also killed.

The thunderous sound that I had intentionally added seemed to further stimulate their fear. The yetis were shivering, covering their ears, as the lightning calmly continued its massacre.
I jumped onto the wall, and the yeti leader confronted me amidst the lightning strikes.
I aimed Eternity at him. He must have felt that he had nowhere else to run, so he roared with his last bit of courage.
“Let’s go.”
However, the yeti leader, who had just made a pathetic roar, was reunited with his subordinates who had been captured earlier, in a very embarrassing manner.
.
.
.
“You want me to investigate whether these are monsters or demons?! Hey! What are you doing! Move the equipment!”
The yeti leader, whose limbs had been twisted and captured, and his subordinates were immediately sent to the Magic Association.
The mages, who had been holding their noses and dissecting the octopus because of the stench, rushed forward at the explanation that these yetis might be intelligent monsters that could use tools and build cities.
Karna’s reaction showed that she was seeing yetis for the first time, and the mages seemed to be even more enthusiastic because of that.
“……So it was just a regular octopus.”

Incredibly, the octopus was just a regular octopus. It was a real creature, even though its size was equivalent to a 25-ton dump truck.
The mages seemed to take my reaction as if it were just personal curiosity.
“A Gate that allows monsters to use tools, doesn’t cause a Dungeon Break, and can exit even before the Dungeon Break occurs…… It seems like we have more things to consider.”
I had delivered the samples to the Magic Association and finished the substitute test, so it was time to inform the people around me. Laura, the Crown Princess and the Guild Master of Eternal Guild, frowned at my words.
It was a natural reaction, as they had not yet come up with a perfect countermeasure for the variant Gates where the Gate itself was a monster, and now a new variant Gate had appeared.
“Well, it won’t be a problem for the people here. It would be a different story if they appeared on Earth with that strength.”
The reason why the Royal Guard was assigned to this place was because of the harsh terrain, but the yetis’ level was something that even ordinary knights could handle. It would be a piece of cake for the Royal Guard, not to mention Karna.
“Hearing that is a relief.”
Laura’s worried expression eased, and Rosalia spoke up.
“Hey, so have you decided on the beach as the travel destination?”

“It’s not quite decided yet, but it’s practically a done deal.”
The teachers had been considering the southeast beach from the beginning. A few professors were stubbornly insisting on the mountains, but according to them, it was a meaningless argument unless the sky was split in half.
“If Mira says it’s a good place, then it must be really something. I can’t wait.”
Rosalia smiled mischievously. As she watched, Elysier spoke up.
“There’s still one important thing left, isn’t there, Rosalia?”

“What? Are you talking about the midterm exams?”
“I’m talking about swimsuits. Were you planning to go to the beach in that outfit?”
Rosalia stopped in her tracks and quietly poked at her belly. Then, with newfound confidence, she said, “Oh, I was just thinking about something else. I can just buy one when I get there, right? Hey, do they have swimsuits here?”

“Of course they do. Don’t worry.”
Karna hadn’t brought a swimsuit because she had entered the underwater Gate, but I had seen them a few times at the department store run by the Crate family.
“Indeed. Since we also have someone here to help you choose, you have nothing to worry about.”
At Elysier’s words, the gazes in the clubroom all turned to me.
It was a moment when my fate was decided without my consent.
