The mind monster was not affected by Zick's dragon fear as they had the same level of intelligence as those humans.
The snow on Zick's feet was dyed red with the amount of blood he lost. He felt a little dizzy; luckily the potion started working, healing his wounds to a certain degree.
Only a little amount of blood leaked out of his wound, But the pain still existed.
Zick gritted his teeth with a fierce gaze looking at his surroundings. Facing uncertainty was normal in human life. Even with his foresight and astute nature, this could not have been predicted in any way.
There have been many instances where Zick felt the danger to his life. This made him not lose too much of his composure.
thump! thump!
His heart rate increased exponentially, pumping hot blood around his body.
'The reason they are not killing me must be because they want to absorb my emotions. I can't let that happen, the more emotion extracted from my mind the more it will weaken me.'
Breathing out roughly, Zick tried to relax his beating heart and concentrate.
Another wave of dizziness took over his mind, awakening a certain memory.
The moment of his death on earth and transmigration passed by his eyes. All the memory that was buried deep within him sprouted to life and went by in front of his eyes.
'Ah, I don't care about this. This memory can't weaken me.' Zick didn't let any of his emotions intensify any further and regained his focus.
Three ice spears flew at him at the same time. They were aiming for his neck, waist, and heart. The mind monsters were not holding back anymore.
'Not good!' Zick sensed the imminent threat from this attack. Hence, he quickly started using more mana. He had been saving it to fend off the snowstorm, but the situation forced him.
A layer of black mana covered his black sword. The gauntlet in his cracked with the amount of force put on it.
Swinging his sword diagonally, Zick fends off the ice spear aiming at his heart and neck. As for the last one, he simply moved his body dodging it.
'They are inexperienced....' Seeing that the mind monster was using such simple moves, with no tricks in it at all, Zick's mind stirred.
He got used to their attacking rhythm easily, showing his adaptability in dangerous situations. He wasn't a greenhorn raised away from any sort of peril or blood.
He was someone who stayed on the battlefield and killed hundreds of people!
He dashed towards the place where the ice spear came from while dragging a snow wolf in his left hand.
Ice spear started flying towards him from multiple places. Zick used the snow wolf body to guard against these attacks as he moved forwards relentlessly.
Not all the ice spears were fully stopped by the wolf's body, a few of them went past it and hit Zick. He had only covered his vital organs, not caring about other damages.
Jumping up the grey rock, the blue wisp entered his sight.
Another ice spear flew from behind which was promptly dodged by him. The snow wolf in his hand was as dead as a corpse could get.
Many ice spears ravaged its body and constant blood flowed down from it, staining the snow below.
A harsh wind hit Zick, making his balance shift.
'Fighting in this environment is harder than expected.' Zick thought calmly, he had regained his composure fully and had already started analyzing the enemy.
The solution he found was simple.
Zick took out a normal iron sword from his space ring and lifted it in a throwing position. He threw the sword at full force toward the blue wisp.
The sword rotated at a rapid speed, cutting through the snow and reaching the mind monster. It perfectly cut it in half, making Zick concentrate on another one a little distance from him.
Using magic would have also sufficed but he didn't want to put his mind under any kind of pressure in this kind of situation. Shooting out mana from this distance would have also not worked.
Seeing the snow wolf in his hand almost becoming indescribable, Zick threw it at the ice spear which came flying at him. He had been climbing the mountain for a while, but now he started heading downwards.
Bending his knees, Zick jumped towards where the ice spear flew from. His body didn't go out of control, he was used to aerial movements.
Five ice spears flew at him once halting his charge. He quickly made a decision and propelled himself to land on the ground successfully evading the attacks.
'There are more than I thought....' A solemn atmosphere covered Zick's figure.
The mind monster would have been easy to take down if fought only one at a time. But in front of dozens of them, things become trickier.
The sweat on his face got frozen in an instant in the extreme cold. His body was getting exhausted further in this place.
'My situation is not optimal in the least, I need to save some mana to fight against the snowstorm too. I will have to take them out while keeping all this in mind.' Zick started thinking rapidly not falling in the familiar sense of despair.
Taking out another healing potion, Zick gulped it down. Just as he finished drinking it, another mind attack reached him.
It was stronger than ever before, directly making him lose consciousness.
The mind monster was also intelligent, the moment they understood the threat posed by Zick, they decided to concentrate all their attention on him.
They had been using their mind attack on the snow wolf till now. But now they solely put on all their attacks at Zick.
....
Zick looked at the memory he had forgotten a long time ago.
pA n,dan0vel.c0m The bully who always looked for trouble with him. He looked at the sight of his previous self.
A high school student with light brown hair held his note drenched in water.
No, in toilet water to be specific.
While the old Zick, Noah looked at his book with an ugly expression. There were signs of hatred visible in his eyes.
Zick looked on like an audience. He had experienced this feeling a few times, so he was able to discern the type of memory that rose within him in the effect of the mental attack.
It was a moment with immense emotions.
Zick couldn't reject that he had a little regret as he couldn't kill this piece of trash.
But the current him was vastly different from back then. He didn't care about vengeance and such. His emotions could not control him.
With an indifferent expression, Zick closed his eyes. He found out how to get out of this imaginary world.
It was to feel nothing, only by doing this could the mental attack be stopped.
The surrounding instantly turned silent, almost like Zick had been cut off by the world. The silence gave a feeling of ominousness, it gave people a sinking feeling, Like merging into the darkness.
Zick's eyes in the real world opened rapidly. Only an instant had passed since he fell unconscious. He had already predicted that the mind monster would do such a thing the moment they know his threat.
So it was a gamble in which he would live if he succeeded and die if failed. He was going to die by running out of mana soon so this was the only best choice in front of him.
Eight blue fire wisps floated a few meters away from him.
"Kill them!" Releasing his dragon fear to the extreme, Zick ordered the snow wolf with a resolute expression.
Growl~!
Many snow wolves growled at once, they ran at Zick's location at a rapid speed.
The mind monsters quickly started creating ice spears aiming both at Zick and the snow wolf.
But was this something that Zick had not expected?
A giant cyclops' body materialised in thin air facing upwards it fell upon Zick. The ice spears aimed at him were stopped by it!
He had expected himself to be in a situation where he couldn't move or didn't have time to move.
This was one of the bodies of the cyclops he got from the ambush before reaching the academic city. He had saved them for cases of emergency.
"Grrrrr!" "Grrrrr!" "Grrrrrr!"
The snow wolf ran forwards toward the mind monster ferociously.
The mind monsters shot out their attack but the wolf was just in too great of a number. Even before they could start using their mental attack skill but by then two of them were already killed.
Putting the cyclops body back into the space ring, Zick too ran towards the blue wisps with a cold expression.
The snow wolf's dead bodies lay on the ground but the bloodied snow was already getting covered by new snow.
The alive snow wolves pounced, clawed and attacked using their fangs - killing many mind monster oen by one.
With Zick added up, wintory was forgone conclusion.
In the end, all the mind monsters were hunted down without mercy.
It wasn't the time to feel relieved for Zick, his mana nerves were almost out of mana.
Ordering the wolf pack hurriedly, Zick started heading toward their habitat.
The snow wolves who managed to live gathered aroun Zick and carried him to their habitat.
Only 15 snow wolves were all that survived in the battle against the mins monster.
