Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

35 Snow Phantom Beast

A pure white beast, about three meters tall, appeared scratching off the snow with his long and fat arms, and stopped moving perfectly when he saw us. I stared at it with my tiny black eyes.

"Snowman (Sne Troll)... is that a phantom beast? Isn't that a legend or just a rumor?

It's not my fault Annelier's voice sounds trembling.

Nadia's face next door is also a bit bloody.

--- Phantom Beast. Although it is claimed to exist in witness testimony and rumours, it is a generic term for a beast that is defined as an unidentified organism. Uma in the original world.

Unicorn, Fenrir, and Sea Snake (Sea Serpent).

It seems that the Great Sea Snake and others were rumored about 25 years ago to have caused a tragic marine accident in which all the passengers, including Prince Wang of the country, were killed, but this seems to have been dealt with as a bad careless gossip. The actual investigation should have concluded that there was no such fact and that it was merely an accident as a result of an off-season storm.

Sometimes rumors come up, but their appearance has not yet been confirmed, and there is uncertainty about their existence.

"I think there's been a mistake, Clemens. Do you recognize him?"

Alec asked Clemens with a strong face. But he just shook his head.

"No, unfortunately... but if you believe the legend, look at it from its appearance..."

Alec roared.

"... I can't believe it was real."

A pure white, human-shaped monkey-like beast.

The beast stared creepily silently at the people in front of him.

Faces that are both human and beast-like are expressionless. Whether it was a snow wolf or a snow bear, there were some feelings such as anger and killing, but the dark eyes of this beast were just like glass balls. I can't read what I'm thinking.

Theoli trembled with an unfamiliar feeling of fear - no, disgust may be closer - that she had never had with any beast. Halfway through the bipedal walk, the appearance close to the person creates a slight discomfort in the chest.

"Something... disgusting."

Dennis's murmured voice was heard from behind, and Annelier and Balt agreed with him with a breathtaking voice. Everyone feels the same way.

"... I'm not going to attack you... but you're not really an adult beast, are you?

It is not enough to say that I have any detailed information about the phantom beast Snowman. There are only eyewitness testimonies of appearance. Fighting power is unknown, but its unusual presence and oppression proved not to be weak beasts. I don't want to fight if I can.

"I hope so. I'd appreciate it if you'd just let me go."

Alec replied to Siori's question, but he didn't seem to believe what he said. I have a feeling it won't end like this.

--and.

Like a snowman ape, the front of his mouth drew a distorted arc.

- I laughed.

My hair feels terribly dry.

The snowman shook his body with a slow, slow motion.

"... they're coming!

Alec shouted and the snowman moved at the same time.

"Fast!"

The snowman shook his raised arms down over Alec and Clemens, in unimaginably short time from his large and unbalanced body. A fist punched into the spot where the two flew away instantly drilled a hole in the snow path and rolled up the snow with great momentum. The vision is dyed white and the snowman's figure is erased.

"I'm going around! Watch out!

An impatient voice flew.

Behind you!

It seems that only the Snow Phantom Beast will not be inhibited in the snow. The moment I saw a snowman circling behind me with terrible speed, a flamethrower hit him directly in the face. Nadia's magic was cast without a chant.

While the snowman was distracted by the bristles on his flamed head, Clement quickly turned around behind him. Enhanced Magic Jumps high using his enduring strength, pointing his twin swords down into his pure white body.

A wild roar shivers the air. Severely twisting herself to shake off a physically injured enemy, Clement, who had pulled the object out before that, flew back in time. With his twin swords twitching his gaze, he frowned in disgust.

"What a guy! The subcutaneous fat is too thick to reach the emergency! The sword is greasy!

While he was in shape, the snowman turned loosely towards us. The fire on my head has already gone out. It seems that only the tip of the body hair is easily burned. It remains as beautiful as a few centimeters from the root. Rather than needles, the thickness of the body hair like the tip of the needle became exposed, so I was strangely convinced that this bristle would not burn out easily.

"It's easy to burn, but it's also easy to disappear! I won't bother you."

Nadia focused her magic on her fingertips whilst spitting ill.

"This way! Dangerous."

The snowman's attention led Annelier and the others to retreat into the gap facing Nadia. The three of them hurried to the indicated position, moving slightly without fear.

Ruli moved around to protect her back. Louis is somehow slow to move because he also has two humans.

"I'll burn everything that burns anyway!

Needless to say, a giant fireball is thrown from Nadia's fingertips.

With the sound of ju, the area was filled with intense water vapor and burning smell.

My feet trembled at the roar of a heavy bass that shakes my tympanic membrane. But it's not a case of fear. If you can't move on the battlefield, it will lead to death.

The snowman scratched his face in flames. I may have trouble breathing. I wish you could suffocate like a snowwolf one day, but it doesn't seem to work. Shortly afterwards, the firepower weakened, and the tingling and carbonized hair tip was blown into the wind and flew.

However, at that moment whether the fire would go out or not, Alec filled the gap. The magical sword wrapped in flame shines red. I put all my weight into the magic sword with all my strength.

The roar rises again.

But...

Shit!

With his tongue slapped and his sword pulled out, Alec jumped back in time before the snowman's swinging arm hit him.

"What do you think?

"I can't. Under the subcutaneous fat is elastic meat. The blade tip does not go through. I was pushed back."

"Your magic sword didn't get through. This is outrageous."

The three of them will not lose their coolness even in a situation that seems to be untouched. We are searching for tactics while fighting.

The moment the snowman turned around and took a quick step.

"Freeze (Flust)!"

At the same time as the sharp spell, countless columns of ice appeared at the foot of the snowman, covering his body as he watched. But with the sound of the glass breaking, the ice pops and flies.

"Sometimes it's just a snow phantom beast! Ice magic doesn't work!

On the contrary, Magic Immunity itself seems to be quite high.

"You can't even pause temporarily."

"... you can't run away."

Balt shook his voice.

"I don't think you're going to let me go. The speed in the snow? I'll catch up with you right away...", ahhhh!

"Wow!

"Gu...!

Suddenly, the magic elements around the snowman swayed, and the wind that froze instantly blew, and Annelier and the others screamed. Alec and Clement groaned at the front line. The cheeks that had been peeled off were cut by a strong wind with snow and ice and bleeding.

Alec and Nadia threw a flamethrower into the face of the Beast and the strong wind stopped.

"Freezing breath! They'll do it."

Alec threw up disgusting while wiping the blood with his hands.

I don't know what the logic is, but some high-ranking beasts rarely spit out flames or ice or snow. Unfortunately, this snow phantom beast is something like that.

"You can't let go of such a dangerous thing. If you come to town by mistake, it's important."

No matter how many Magic Beasts you have, if you live in the depths of the woods in secrecy, just leave them alone. But I couldn't leave such a creepy and dangerous beast behind. It's also close to the city. If a beast moves at that speed in the snow, it will reach the city in no time. Outside the outer walls that protect the city, there are also small rural areas.

If we can defeat them, we must crush them. That is the duty of the adventurer.

The snowman twisted his mouth again. It's like laughing at a weak, little man.

Seeing a few small signs, Theori turned her gaze in that direction. A magical reaction that I remember. It will come straight for us in this snow.

"--at a time like this!

Considering the appearance rate, it can be said to be natural to encounter it, but the malice comes out with a mouth.

Before Alec and the others reacted, they were alerted, concentrating on their hands.

"Snow and sea moon (Sne Manietel) is coming! I'm sorry, Alec, I can't do this!

"Oh, I can't help it. But not so much! I got this! You and Nadia need protection and backup!

"I got it!

Got it!

As the snowman shook his fist towards Alec and Clement, a swarm of snow and sea moons appeared from among the trees. Smaller than the herd we encountered on the outbound route. Nevertheless, the large number does not change.

As the herd surrounded itself, Theori unleashed the air conditioning magic to completely cover the maximum range - the battlefield. It was confirmed in the battle the other day that the snow and the sea moon were overwhelmingly vulnerable to heat. Even the warm wind that feels pleasant to humans dries up and dies. This magic, which served as a boundary between the snow and the sea moon, was effective in getting Alec and the others to focus on fighting the snowman.

The snow and sea moon that were in range fell one after the other, and the water was evaporated and dried. Magic falls out of your body in proportion to the number of small beasts that fall and pile up at your feet. Magic decreases quickly because of the extensive magic deployment. However, if you shred your physical and mental strength due to lack of magic, the boundary will be solved as well as the rest of the journey.

Keeping the air conditioning magic intact, Shiori took the magic healing medicine out of the pouch.

While doing so, the exhausted snow and the sea moon descend from above. The carbide was mixed in because Nadia burned it with a whirlpool of flames (spirol flames) that were thrown over her head.

Once the air conditioning magic is applied, the surrounding temperature rises.

"Oops...."

"Mm... what?

Alec and the others were trying to crush the blade from their arms, rather than their bodies, as they attacked the snowman's onslaught. The movement of the creepy Phantom beast was visibly worse.

They couldn't possibly miss this, but at the same time filled the time, causing an intense blow to the right shoulder of the Phantom Beast.

Screams that echo. Blood splashed in the snow. My right arm, which is connected by a single piece of skin, is shaking.

"This is the only attack I've got, and finally a right arm."

"Terrible hardness."

"But...."

The snowman shook his right shoulder as if he was in the way, and threw away his right arm in pieces of leather that were connected.

While looking at it, they gaze at the snowman as they ponder.

After all, this Phantom beast is slowing down. The damage accumulated by repeated heavy attacks and the bleeding from the broken right arm may be the cause, but not the more so.

"... even with magic resistance, I wonder if it's vulnerable to high temperatures. Even if it wasn't enough to die like snow and sea moon....."

"Maybe. I thought it was just a yota story, but if you think about it, the witness testimony is..."

"... it was all winter. As far as I know."

Just like the winter-exclusive Demon Beast, which cannot operate during the warm season, this Phantom Beast may not be able to act unless it is in the cold season. "Snowman."

"Do you want to keep burning with my magic?

"No, not to mention...."

For a moment thinking about Nadia's proposal, Alec glanced at Shiori and laughed.

Let's boil it in the bathtub.
