Chapter 509

‘Why the hell does a mountain goat look like a rock...?’ Siegfried wondered after seeing the details shown by the Rune of Insight.

[Jagged Mountain Goat]

[A mountain goat native only to Mount Kunlun.]

[Its entire body is made of hard rocks, making it extremely tough. It makes others mistake it as a jagged rock because of its appearance.]

[It has a second claw on its hoof, allowing it to hang and sleep on cliffsides.]

[It is extremely aggressive, and it uses its tough horns to ram its target.]

[Anyone who runs into one is advised to run away as quickly as possible.]

[Type: Neutral Creature]

[Level: 290]

[Note: This is not a goat!]

The Jagged Mountain Goat had a whopping Level 290, and it looked extremely strong for a mere goat.

“The Southern Great Jungle was just child’s play...” Siegfried muttered with an awkward grin. Mount Kunlun was a familiar yet unfamiliar place to him, and he finally realized what the saying there was a sky above the sky meant.

Siegfried revealed a business-like smile and said, “Hello, Mountain Goat-nim~ These pitiful people will be on our way, so please just continue to rest over–”

He didn't want to fight against the Jagged Mountain Goat on the terrain they were in, so he tried to get around it by not fighting.

Unfortunately, the Jagged Mountain Goat had other plans.

“Puff! Puff!”

The Jagged Mountain Goat was hanging ninety degrees from the cliffside as if it were on flat ground, and it snorted air out of its nostrils while glaring at Siegfried.

“E-Excuse me? Mountain Goat-nim...?”

“Puff!”

To make matters worse, the Jagged Mountain Goat was not alone.

“Meeeh!”

“Meeeeh!”

“Meeh!”

The nearby rocks started moving one by one. It was to the point the cliffside had holes in the ground after they got up.

“...”

Siegfried had no idea what to say under the gazes of the Jagged Mountain Goats. He turned and asked Hamchi, who was sitting on his shoulder.

“Hey, Hamchi.”

“Kyu?”

“Don’t you think we will be slugging it out with them?”

“I-It looks like it... Kyu...”

“The Mountain Goat-nims look–”

It was then.

“Meeeeeeeh!” The first Jagged Mountain Goat that Siegfried had encountered suddenly let out a cry before running along the cliffside.

“Meeeh!

“Puff! Puff!”

“Meeeeeh!”

The other Jagged Mountain Goats followed suit shortly afterward, and soon, there were more than one hundred of them rushing toward Siegfried.

“Damn it!” Siegfried cursed and readied his +13 Horse Fly.

He was forced to fight the herd of Jagged Mountain Goats.

The Santa Climbers were confused about what he meant by that.

“What is he trying to do?”

“What was that all about...?”

However, Siegfried did not have the luxury of checking if they understood him or not.

“I already warned you! Don’t blame me later!” Siegfried exclaimed, warning them once again. Then, he turned to Hamchi and said, “Hey, Hamchi.”

“Kyu?”

“Hold on tight!”

“Kyuu? What are you trying to do—KYUUUUU!”

Hamchi was about to ask what Siegfried was planning, but he shrieked in horror after he was suddenly dangling upside down.

Why was he dangling upside down? Because Siegfried had kicked the cliff and jumped up.

Vroom!

He jumped and activated his thrusters to go against gravity before flying in an arc to land exactly where he was a while ago. In other words, he kicked off the cliff to land at the same spot, just as he would if he had jumped on solid ground.

Then, he slammed his +13 Horse Fly on the surface of the mountain the moment he landed.

Krwaaaaang!

Splitting Heaven and Earth!

He used his most powerful area of effect skill precisely at the moment when the herd of Jagged Mountain Goats charged at him.

The surface of the mountain made out of extremely hard stone crumbled in an instant.

Krwaaaang!

Hundreds—no, thousands of tons of stones broke off from the surface of the mountain.

***

“...!”

The Santa Climbers were mortified at the scene. It was like heaven and earth were splitting open, and what they witnessed scared them so much that they laid themselves flat and clung to the rocks as if they were a bunch of cockroaches.

Krwaaaaaang!

Splitting Heaven and Earth caused the upper part of the cliff to cave in, sending tons of rocks raining down where the Santa Climbers were seeking refuge.

It went without saying that the rocks were not the only thing raining down from above.

“Meeeeh!”

“Meeeh!”

“Meeh!”

The Jagged Mountain Goats were swept up by Splitting Heaven and Earth and started falling to their demise one by one—for real this time. They tried to cling to the nearest rocks, but those rocks were falling as well, so they couldn't climb back up.

“Aaaaack!”

One of the Santa Climbers suffered the same tragic fate as the Jagged Mountain Goats. He ignored Siegfried’s warning about not sticking his head out and ended up getting swept up by the rocks.

“There are always those who don’t fucking listen. Tsk," Siegfried grumbled, clicking his tongue.

Snatch

Siegfried caught a climber just in time before he was skewered by an extremely sharp rock down below.

“...”

However, the climber was already unconscious by the time he was rescued. It seemed that a rock had struck his head a while ago judging by how he was bleeding.

Siegfried was probably clueless as to whether he was dead or alive, as the latter was knocked unconscious by a rock.

“Kyuuu! Good job, owner punk! You were really cool!”

“Haha! Punk,” Siegfried replied with a smirk. Then, he hopped from rock to rock again with the unconscious climber in tow.
