Soul Devourer Chapter 3 Episode 4 — Treacherous Steps in the Frigid Snowfield

An A-rank dungeon towers in the very heart of Susukino, Sapporo’s bustling entertainment district.

Despite the danger of stampedes, it continues to thrive as a nightlife hub even now.

Given the time of day, there are few ordinary civilians around, but because it is near a dungeon, there are many hunters.

As a result, there are plenty of izakaya and cabaret clubs that operate from daytime.

I walked confidently through the Hunter-filled streets, completed the dungeon entry procedures, and passed through the entrance.

Beyond it stretched a snowfield where snow fell steadily, softly.

The air was so cold that my breath turned into white smoke, and without any resistance skills, it was cold enough that even my eyelashes could freeze.

I was at least wearing winter boots and cold-weather clothing, but I really wanted to acquire a resistance skill soon.

As I advanced carefully so as not to get in the way of the hunters fighting nearby, a snowball came flying at me at incredible speed.

I cut it down with the《Death Venom Fangs of the Centipede King》I dual-wielded, then turned my gaze in the direction it had come from.

What I saw with【Telescopic Vision】was a monster about five meters tall, its powerfully built body covered in snow-white fur.

Beside that monster; a Yeti, was another one floating in midair, with long hair as white as snow and dressed in a kimono; a Snow Maiden.

In this dungeon, the Yeti, which engages in close combat and hurls snowballs at blistering speed, and the Snow Maiden, which casts【Ice Magic】from a distance, attack together as a tag team.

For that reason, even among A-rank dungeons, this one boasts a particularly high level of difficulty.

Over there, the Yeti was forming a massive snowball, while the Snow Maiden was using【Ice Magic】to create long blades of ice all around her.

The instant the Yeti hurled the giant snowball and the Snow Maiden released her ice swords, I activated【Dash】to boost my Agility and used【Stealth】to erase my presence.

The snow made movement difficult as my footing slipped, but somehow I managed to get behind the Snow Maiden within the effective time of【Stealth】.

“GUAAAHHH!”

Enraged by the death of its companion, the Yeti swung its mighty arm.

But the blow failed to catch me, instead gouging into the snowy ground and sending up a spray of snow.

Circling behind the Yeti, I plunged my daggers into both of its legs, then leapt high and drove a dagger into its neck as well.

The Yeti began clawing at its own throat in agony, then gradually went still and died.

E/N:

I thought Snow Maiden must have been translated from Yuki On'na, a monster in Japanese folklore but the raw is literally, [Sunow Meiden] 😂!

Stay tuned!
