I Became the Snow Woman I Made

4 – Snow Maiden (4)

The Snow Castle.

The first home of the second life.

From the first day I arrived until now, things have flowed like a panorama. Going in and out of the dressing room with a taste for real coordination, being happy when I found something useful even after tiring out the warehouse, the first day I made a spirit, and the guy making a fuss while looking at me.

There were days when I was happy, days when I was depressed or angry, but after passing by, they are all precious memories…

‘…Huh!’

I suddenly came to my senses. Now was not the time to think about whether it was a kaleidoscope or a flashback. Rather, a groundbreaking plan was needed to overcome this situation.

[·······.]

Hearing my remarks, Mishra stood still for a moment with an expression that did not understand the meaning. Even though the weather was sunny unlike a snowy field, the silence suffocated me. Have you ever been treated like this by someone while you were born into the strongest race and have been living for a long time?

[…Dare.]

The dragon king’s reaction, after being overcome with shock, was sadly as expected. I wondered if this was in a horror movie, since I had a lot of terrifying looks.

[Who do you dare to talk such nonsense to?]

The roar of an angry dragon shook the earth. Huge wings brought a gust of wind, and a tail that was harder than steel split the snow. The sight honestly gave me goosebumps. As much as this moment, the setting that was not visible on the outside could not be cursed.

If it wasn’t for that, my limbs would have been trembling so much that even my eyelashes would have been shaken. I couldn’t express it coolly, so I felt like I was festering inside.

‘It goes even if only one hit.’

Snow Woman was never fit for battle. Although I made it with all my heart, it was used as a character for my daughter with a thorough look focused on her appearance, atmosphere, and background. Even if it was far from an effective attack, it was too far.

On the other hand, Mishra Pankaji, the Silver Dragon King, belonged to the pinnacle of the strongest dragon race. Even if you can’t do it, you can become a hidden boss, but now that I can’t even control my magic power properly, let alone grow, it was a suicide attempt.

As a snow woman with very poor fighting skills in the first place, she did not have any skills to inflict effective hits, and to make matters worse, her defense was low, so her breath had a good chance of being put to death with a single blow from her tail. A really dire situation.

‘Yeah, but it’s still going to be okay, right?’

Seeing that he didn’t attack right away, the word good character seemed right. There was no option to fight, so there was only one place to walk. I made a mistake because I forgot my settings for a while, but there is a hole that will survive enough if I don’t mess it up more here.

[Bonnyeo is the guardian of this snowfield and the leader of the white dragons! Mere earthly creatures are not worthy of being rude!]

The dragon king’s anger was accompanied by intense energy, and it was enough to make his skin tingle. Clearly, this place is a land of severe cold where cold air prevails, so for some reason I felt as if I was standing in front of a furnace. I never thought the day would come when Snow Woman felt the heat.

[Reveal your identity immediately and apologize for your rudeness!]

Mishra took a step forward, and the ground shook. At the same time, my heart thumped and trembled. There was still hope, but it was frightening to think that her life was at stake.

But let’s calm down. If I let go of reason, then there is really no hope. Yes, even if you don’t have to deal with it, you just don’t have to touch the planting like this. If you don’t touch the plant…

[Can’t you hear me! Hurry up and apologize for the rudeness you have done to her original daughter!]

But why do you keep making me talk? Did this dragon king just not see my attitude? He is silent because he does not want to raise his work. And I would have to pay the price for that.

Of course, if you want to talk, you can. But…

‘You’ll get angry if I tell you!’

My voice was chilly even when I heard it. But how cold would it be if the first acquaintance heard it? Besides, Mishura is angry right now. Inflicting her anger here?

‘No! Can not!’

This was a matter directly related to my right to live. So I have the right to remain silent! However, the world did not respect my rights like that.

[Respond immediately! Otherwise……]

It was unusual to see the dragon king talking behind his back with his eyes flashing. Even though I didn’t want to know what was going to be said there, I was very concerned. Is the coast before the storm is just what I feel right now?

‘You just have to answer!’

Either way is the worst, but if you ignore it here, you will go straight to the bad ending. Even thinking about it, it was only natural that he would get annoyed if he kept chewing on words in his face. In my case, there are circumstances that have no choice but to do so…

Anyway, the second best, not the best. I had to answer in a way that didn’t offend her as much as possible. It’s a part that I can’t control myself, but I have to do it anyway.

First of all, relax your neck as much as possible and speak calmly. In preparation for translation, I pick and choose words, refine them as much as possible, and find an appropriate topic. Let’s see, ‘I apologize for the rudeness’ sounds very cold and sarcastic… ‘You’re a great person’… This isn’t it.

How about ‘I know what you are, but I’m sorry I didn’t know’. He naturally apologizes while praising the other person as if he had heard of the widely known reputation of the Dragon King. Ok, this is it! There is only this!

“I don’t care who you are.”

I was happy, but I was fed up with the result that passed out of my mouth. No, what if I translate it like that? The sentence is completely different. More than that, where the hell did ‘I’m sorry’ disappear!

[……What?]

As you might have guessed, Mishra’s voice subsided. I wanted to close my eyes tightly, but when I was with others, the setting was reinforced and I couldn’t. Because of this, I had no choice but to face the fearful Dragon King’s gaze.

[You can’t put it in fine words!]

In an instant, Mishra’s eyes shone. As soon as I realized that it was a reaction of magical power, a strong feeling of pressure pressed down on my body. Despite her dire situation, I could see that she had a really good character. Even though he was very angry, he controlled her powers so as not to kill her.

Of course, that alone was enough to kill me. It was just that the mana touched him, but the pressure was no joke. Along with that, I felt something slipping out of me. No, something like energy was really leaking out.

‘Energy drain?’

When I saw that, I realized her intentions. After neutralizing it, you intend to unravel the situation. Realizing that, I felt a calming down to a bursting heart. I was rather glad it was like this.

If you don’t kill her right away, you will soon be able to have a sincere conversation with Mishra, who has regained her sanity. The setting still bothers me, but I decided to do something about it at that time. In order to get out of this crisis quickly, I surrendered to the energy that was being sucked out without any resistance.

It was at that moment that I felt a strange change. It felt as if something had escaped, and the mana within my body began to fluctuate rapidly. I hurriedly tried to control it, but it was already out of my control.

‘…Could it be with the power of the elixir?’

Only then did I understand the situation. Two elixirs I took to ensure smooth magic operation. The drain magic had taken away even that medicine! The balance of the mana circuit that was forcibly maintained collapsed immediately, and the effect appeared immediately.

Saaa!

Sharp snow fell on the sunny snowfield for the first time in a while. True to its name, Snow Woman is extremely specialized in her eyes, and if she is a terrain full of her eyes, such as a snowy field, she receives a strong correction. Even if her ability itself is not special, it is something that can create an atmosphere that seems to be temporarily present.

Then, what would happen if the magical power of that biased attribute ran rampant without any limit? During the past year of magic training, the scene he had seen countless times unfolded before his eyes. It was a heavy snowstorm.

“Ah…”

I stared blankly at the scenery, then lowered my gaze. A field of snow could be seen through the transparent hands. An imbalance in the body due to fluctuations in magical power. Maybe it’s because it’s a setting taken from the tale of a snow woman, so I laughed out loud. I couldn’t help but smile when I thought of my soon-to-be-opened future.

‘Failed.’

I had already made enough mistakes. Even so, Yongwang-nim gave me the favor of suppressing my anger once. I sprinkled cold water on it. It wasn’t my will at all, but in her eyes, this blizzard must have been my counterattack.

No matter how good-natured she may be, Mishra’s true nature is to be a non-human predator. She was unlikely to forgive her mere prey if it persisted. Her smirk peered at her sneakily, holding her despair.

[······!]

The Dragon King froze with his eyes wide open.

The snowfield was one of the famous demonic landscapes of the continent. An environment where extreme climate is maintained all year round would freeze the lungs of an ordinary human at once, and the elves, who were born with a large amount of mana and excelled in mana management, were no exception.

A land of frigid cold where clumsy cold resistance magic is useless. In order to reach the snowfield, they had to cross the icy mountain range. A snowfield located in the far eastern part of the continent and an ice mountain range blocking the front like a gateway. In fact, the demonic landscape in the east that people in the world chose was not a snowfield, but an ice mountain range.

This is because very few humans have ever stepped on a snowy field since the beginning of history. Even adventurers who claim to be nanda succumbed to the cold of frost hell, and the heroes who barely endured the cold were unable to penetrate the monsters of the mountain range. Perhaps because of that, snowfields have long been regarded as an ordeal by the goddess of winter.

Trial of the Gods. It was a word that put countless lives to death. Many were buried in snowdrifts, but there were still those who eventually reached their destination. The heroes of heroes and later recorded in the history books, they will face a real ordeal sooner or later.

‘…So, a pure white presence stopped us from reaching the snowy field. The goddess’s servant, who had spread her wings huge enough to cover the castle wall, urged us to return. So we asked to see her goddess…’

The confidant, called the guardian of the snowfield, was always in charge of returning uninvited guests. After all, it is said that the heroes never met her goddess. If they had succeeded in contacting God at that time, the current situation might have been quite different.

However, it cannot be said that the current trend of criticizing them is justified. The worst thing on earth is not their fault…

Thousands of years of peace gave birth to carelessness. Waking up from a sound sleep, Mishra rushed out of Rare without even having time to think about the changes in the snowfield that stimulated her nerves. It didn’t matter who her intruder was or how she escaped her detection.

It was just a matter of how much she damaged her master’s territory. That was all that mattered. She already has a vague memory of that, but that’s why her master’s orders were everything to her.

Her hastily flew to the point of stimulating her senses, and facing her was her castle built with snow. It was high enough that we had to look up at her even though her true face was revealed. According to common sense, she should have been wary of the fact that such a structure was created in a short period of time, but she was blinded by anger, Mishu, and did not have a rational mind.

That’s why she took out her anger even more at the person who did this on her own. Her culprit was a woman with blue-white hair. She was a strangely weak woman. As the dragon king, she was expressionless even against herself, and her eyes were more than cold.

I didn’t like that behavior, but she tried to talk first. Because she had to find out why the other person came here and whether there are any friends of hers. She had barely let go of her anger, so she inadvertently spoke out loud, but she thought it didn’t matter because the opponent she was frightened of would be more cooperative.

However, it was a hasty judgment.

“…Noisy.”

When she heard that chilling voice, Mishra stopped her thoughts for a moment. For thousands of years, did she dare to treat herself like this? All her earthly creatures looked at her with her eyes of awe, and she deserved it. She says that anyone who can say such a thing to herself is one handful, even including celestial beings!

[Who do you dare to talk such nonsense to?]

Feeling unworthy of putting up with her any longer, she let out her peer fear. The dragon king’s roar that terrifies all living things. If hit from the front, even the heroes of the continent couldn’t hide their agitation, so the effect had to be clear. However, the woman in front of him had a gentle attitude.

What happened?

There is no living being that can remain calm after receiving the peer of the Dragon King. Even if he was a strong man called Young Girl, he had to be a little nervous. However, the intruder’s expression did not change at all. It was expressionless and cold. Mishra felt frustrated and irritated at the same time.

I need to quickly solve the situation and recover the owner’s land, but why can’t things go as I want? She was the one who put her feelings into it and gave her tantrum, but her opponent’s attitude was always the same. It was the same that her words scratched a nerve.

“I don’t care who you are.”

A cheeky tone that can’t be thought of as belonging to a mere prey. At that, Mishra’s last restraint of hers was broken. I don’t know what tricks she used, but she won’t continue to work. She went straight into suppression.

She felt relieved when the intruder’s energy was sucked out by the drain magic that worked effortlessly. As she had guessed, there was nothing wrong. What happened before was just a fluke. Just like this, you need to subdue your opponent and end the situation. It was right after that that confidence was broken.

Did the drain magic even touch her woman’s wrath? Her nail-pierced stillness finally kicked into action. A gray blizzard covered the part of the clearing snowfield.

It was an unusual power. Magic that deals with the climate is classified as high-ranking magic, and it was an act that consumed a huge amount of mana. If that were the case, it would bring a blizzard that would completely sweep the area. That too at once.

If the wizards of the continent had seen it, they would have been frightened. But not from the Dragon King’s point of view. Because it wasn’t particularly difficult. But Mishra was very surprised. It was for another reason.

‘How can I…’

As the Dragon King, she always had a barrier around her. She is a confrontation system that only those who have reached the state of transcendence can maintain. It is a barrier that has the effect of limiting the power of enemies within the area, and unlike peers, not only living creatures but also spirits such as spirits could not escape.

Therefore, no one can escape the wavelength of the barrier unless they are of a similar level. Obviously that was the case, so Mishra had to make sure that she had the barrier working properly. The barriers were intact, and there was a definite bewilderment in her gaze.

‘How on earth?’

Can I use my power without any restrictions? Looking at the woman’s fragile appearance, she seemed as if she didn’t even know there was a barrier. Since that couldn’t be the case, Mishra was even more confused. The dragon king’s eyes stared at the target precisely even while the strong snow and wind blew and obstructed his vision.

The dragon king blinked when he saw the woman. Her expression remained the same, but there was a change in her condition. She used to have pale skin because she wasn’t white, but now she was more than pale and transparent. The sight of the blizzard reflecting through her transparent body was quite mysterious.

It was a look that no one could ever see. Rather than people, the expression “Nature” Or “Winter” Was more suitable. When Mishra shook her head, blankly thinking about it, a fundamental question suddenly came to her mind.

‘Come to think of it, who the hell is this woman?’

When I was blinded by anger, it was something I hadn’t considered because I was in a hurry to deal with the situation. If you think about it calmly, it was strange that thousands of years of peace were suddenly broken. What is the identity of this woman who casually settled in a snowy field that even the superpowers of the continent cannot approach?

At first, she judged that she was a human species just by looking at her appearance. However, she is too beautiful to be human, and above all, humans are not a strong enough race to live calmly here. It is said that the biggest difference between each individual is the human species, but no human she has ever seen has been free from the land of severe cold.

Well, first of all, it is said that she is not human, but even if she was substituted for other races that came to mind one after another, she did not match the characteristics of a woman. In the first place, the race itself that could cross the ice mountain range was truly one of the few. Among the dragons called the strongest, only the white dragons specialized in the cold were completely free from the snow.

Then, is it a white dragon? I heard that speculation, but it couldn’t have been. If they were of the same people, the Dragon King himself would not have been able to recognize them. If so, what does it mean?

Hwaaak-

The blizzard still raged incessantly. In a place filled with only the sounds of her nature, Mishra regained her composure. She decided it was simply not the case to kick her out in a fit of rage. She wasn’t easy to see, so she had to be serious.

‘Whoever that woman is, we must protect this land.’

The owner’s command, which I did not know when I heard it, lingered in my ears. Embracing her sense of duty, she thought, staring straight at her woman. She is a woman with blue-white hair and eyes resembling eyes.

Even facing himself as the dragon king, he is calm and weak, and does not waver even when he hits her peers with a straight edge. She is an unidentified woman who freely uses her power even under the influence of confrontation. It was at this moment that she switched from Mishra’s pushy attitude to her alertness.

Some snowflakes are approaching softly. They circled the outskirts of her castle, and as soon as she took on a puzzled look, she immediately transformed into a she-wolf and surrounded her woman. She then said she was not sticking her teeth into herself. It looked like it was protecting her owner.

I couldn’t recognize it right away because it’s been so long since I’ve seen it, but those wolves were definitely in my memory. Fricke, one of the few people who lived in the snowfield, and the snow race that they thought they would never see again.

[······!]

Mishra’s eyes widened in astonishment.
