The first floor of the dungeon was swept by frigid winds .

[Proceed to the Second Floor . ]

The players who had moved into the new stage after spending 5 days on the first floor were faced with an entirely white world . A colder world, with snow as far as the eye could see .

Lee Jin-ah and Kim Woo-jin were moving through a snow field .

“Ah . ”

Suddenly Lee Jin-ah stopped walking, and Kim Woo-jin who was beside him, stopped as well, looking around cautiously .

“What’s wrong?”

“No, this snow . ”

Lee Jin-ah caught some flakes in his hand .

“Isn’t it possible to make patbingsu1 with it?”

The words he spoke was something that no one would imagine . However, Kim Woo-jin didn’t express any surprise .

“It wouldn’t taste as good as you expect . ”

Rather, he responded without hesitation .

“Huh?”

Instead it was Lee Jin-ah who was amazed .

“Have you ever eaten it?”

When he heard this accusation, Kim Woo-jin remembered a few bitter memories . As he’d said, Kim Woo-jin had indeed eaten snow, a lot of it .

“I didn’t eat it because it tasted good . ”

Of course, he’d never eaten snow as food . In harsh situations where drinking water is unavailable, if there was snow then it could be swallowed to save your life, he had only done it in such cases . (TL: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!)

“So why did you eat it then?”

It was a rather desperate option and some might say it was better to die .

“It can only be done when there is a goal you need to accomplish before you die . ”

Of course, there had to be a reason why he fiercely wanted to survive .

“Like them . ”

The place where Kim Woo-jin was looking was a pile of snow that looked like a tombstone .

As he said those words, Woo-jin approached the pile of snow .

Then he saw a body . The body was almost completely intact except for a large hole from an unknown source . The fist of the body was clenched tightly, holding something .

Opening the hand, Kim Woo-jin discovered a note .

[Characteristics of the Horned Fox]

‘You endured till the end . ’

It was a note with the information on Horned Foxes that the player managed to write before they died .

After he read it, Kim Woo-jin passed the note to Lee Jin-ah who also gave a bitter smile as he read it’s contents .

“To leave information instead of a will and testament . ”

To write a note before you died with your eyes closed and your neck bleeding, just to leave as much information as possible for those who would come after you .

“It’s like the Messiah Guild . ”

That was the Messiah Guild . Where there are many sublime players willing to give their lives to save the world .

“Yeah it’s like the Messiah Guild . ”

This made the anger buried within Kim Woo-jin burn hotter .

‘So I can’t forgive them even more . ’

Lee Se-jun . He treated the sacrifices of these noble people, and treated it as firewood to maintain the flames of his ambition .

‘Lee Se-jun, you should’ve been a villain . ’

“But I don’t think there’s any useful information here . ”

At that time, Lee Jin-ah was done looking over the contents of the note and handed it back to Kim Woo-jin .

He wasn’t wrong .

Obviously the player had risked their lives to get this information, but the information they gained was only on the appearance of the Horned Fox and even then a lot of the information was subjective .

Kim Woo-jin also didn’t expect much .

“The information left before death is usually like this . ”

Usually the information that was written before death was done while in a panicked state so there was nothing wrong with it . It wasn’t easy to write legible text in such a situation . It could be said that they wrote a note, but in the end it wasn’t that much .

“It doesn’t matter since we didn’t come here to get information in the first place . ”

In the end Kim Woo-jin hadn’t gone there intending to look for information in the first place .

“You’re not trying to get information? Then why . . ?”

Instead of answering, Kim Woo-jin asked a question to Lee Jin-ah in return .

“What would you do if someone touched a snack you’d saved to eat later . ”

“That son of a bitch better watch his back…”

It was then .

Grrr…

“…you would smash them . ”

The Horned Fox battle had begun .

The Horned Fox’s appearance didn’t differ too much from that of a regular fox with silver fur .

However with a body 5 meters long, musculature(size) similar to a siberian tiger and two 50cm horns on its head made it clear that this was no ordinary fox .

However, the thing that really stood out, was the beautiful silver fur that flowed in the wind, as sharp as needles .

Grrr!

The sound was so sharp it stung the faces of those before it .

“Kuh!”

Lee Jin-ah coughed lightly .

“It’s a monster…”

At the same moment that Lee Jin-ah began to speak, the fox suddenly charged toward him .

Paat!

The Horned Fox’s charge was so fast that it could remind you of a cheetah . Not only was it big, but it was also very fast .

These two elements, combined with the pair of lethal horns on its head, made the Horned Fox much more lethal than the Needle Snake .

In addition, with the fox’s speed, it was almost impossible to see or dodge it’s attacks . Before you could react, the Horned Fox would already be in front of your nose .

This was the situation Lee Jin-ah faced right now .

When he’d started talking, the distance between him and the fox was about 20 meters . For the fox, such a distance was something that could be quickly crossed even at a leisure speed and Lee Jin-ah couldn’t avoid it .

Puk!

The fox’s horns pierced through Lee Jin-ah’s stomach, the force of the charge pushing them away from Kim Woo-jin .

Grrr!

After 100 meters, the momentum behind the charge finally dissipated .

“I got you, bitch . ”

As blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, Lee Jin-ah looked at the fox with a smile and grabbed it as an arrow flew in from a distance .

Puk!

The thick arrowhead, which was as black as obsidian, pierced the body of the Horned Fox .

Kriee!

The fox screamed in pain, but Kim Woo-jin’s attention was instead grabbed by a group of notifications .

[The Horned Fox has been poisoned by the Black Blood . ]

[The health of the Horned Fox has been greatly reduced . ]

[The attack power of the Horned Fox has been greatly reduced . ]

[The defense of the Horned Fox has been greatly reduced . ]

It was a notification which let him know of the horrifying effects of his skill .

“First, grab the leg . ”

Of course, Kim Woo-jin didn’t give too much attention to the notification .

“Then, grab the body . ”

Instead, he immediately shot another arrow from his bow .

Boom!

And the Skeleton Soldiers also began to move .
