Chapter 590
Matans Shooter 590
Whats that noise?!
It was the sound that ostrich has been waving earlier! Over there!
The ice ostrich were running in close range.
They were somewhat higher distances than where Leeha and Blaugrunn were.
Leenha silently loaded his musket-pistol.
Blaugrunn also silently began casting a teleportation spell.
I wont let them escape this time.
Leenha looked at Blaugrunn.
As soon as he nodded, Blaugrunn cast the teleportation.
Swoooosh-!
Wha?!
Whaa!
Just shout out loud, you annoying ostrichs!
This time, they were immediately on the front two!
Leehas left hand and right hand aimed at each ostrich, and she pulled the trigger.
The grapeshot launched from both guns accurately hit the point where the neck and body of the ice ostrich were connected.
Crack!
With the sound alone, both ostrichs were shattered into pieces.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
With a satisfying smile, Leenha vigorously blew the gunpowder smoke from the musket-pistol.
Hoooo- Stay out of my way.
Dont be too harsh on creatures that dont even participate in monster waves.
Who is being harsh?! Finishing these quickly moving brats with one shot, one kill is a massive score.
Y-Yes, yes. I understand.
Leeha wanted to scold Blaugrunn, but now wasnt the time.
What if the corpse of the ice ostrich turned into ice, disappeared within 30 seconds or 1 minute after becoming a corpse?
There is a high possibility that this can occur. But they needed to loot their corpses right now. Leenha put his pistol on his hips and immediately searched for their corpses.
its gone.
What? Again?
What is this? What on earth is going on? Its been a mere 15 seconds since they had a chat with Blaugrunn. Can there be monsters that dont even allow 20 seconds to obtain items?
Its not impossible since its Middle Earth
But the situation was beyond understanding.
All that was on the ground were countless small pieces of ice. Leenha kicked the ice pieces away.
After looking at the ice shards that glowed like mirrors under the sunlight, Leenha had another thought.
Wait..
Was it really that the body disappeared because I didnt loot it within 30 seconds?
She wanted to verify this. Fortunately, there was one way she could confirm this.

I knew it!
What exactly did you know?
I know my stats werent that high- ! But still!The experience points didnt increase! Despite only killing three monsters, these were beasts from the New Continent.
Moreover, this place, the Frozen Lands, is one of the most vicious terrains within the New Continent.
I could not determine the exact level of the Ice Ostriches, but given the difficulty of the hunt, it should have awarded a decent amount of experience points among the monsters of the New Continent.
Ramwhajeong said that the camp here was efficient enough to use his Mana Infusion.
But not even a decimal point of experience points has moved?
There was only one fact I could predict from this result.
This holds up even excluding Jellapung, who hasnt been able to show off his prowess yet, and the upgraded little one.
However, Leeha, aiming his musket-pistol at them from about 10 meters above the ground, didnt look happy.
Hmm, Blaugrunn.
Yes?
Will our barrier also work on them?
Well, they are considerably larger than the Red Goats and other paleos weve encountered before?
Exactly. When have we last seen an animal like that? What was it?
Looking down at the inhabitants of the snow-covered ground, Leeha realized these creatures were unfamiliar.
Compared to the boar paleos weve seen, was their skin tougher? Their thick skin seemed to ooze oil, probably strong enough to resist even the sharpest blade of most users.
Ice, ice cold places not a polar bear- those tusks though
Each of them, larger than a giant user, had huge tusks pointed downward.
Leeha, scrutinizing their tusks, finally remembered the corresponding animal.
Oh, oh! Walrus!
This place is virtually the farthest north of the New Continent.
Naturally, its possible that its connected to the sea somewhere.
As Leeha clapped joyously, Blaugrunn gave him a look of disgust.
Youre happy about that? Now, look at them closely-
Ice Walrus! Deactivate tusk mode.
The sight of them holding one tusk in each hand was the epitome of the giant warrior itself.
And theyre behaving like this
Maybe the correct word for them would be giants in walrus skin?
The coarse, straight mustaches extending from beneath their noses, and the similarity of all of them being bald made them look like true warriors.
From this little human, we sense a weird energy.
Understood. We will prepare carefully. But as soon as he heard this, Leeha had to regain his composure.
Thats because even with Blaugrunn, if a battle ensued, the intimacy work would be washed away.
Wait! Wait! We didnt come here to fight!
Leeha quickly threw up his arms in surrender.
He had to prove his peaceful intentions before anything else, not knowing what could happen if he pointed his gun at them.
Preparing [Ice Age], plan to freeze all simultaneously.
Ay, Ay, Sir.
They didnt listen to a word Leeha said.
Bright blue mana grains were already accumulating in their bodies. Of course, turquoise mana grains were also gathering around Blaugrunn.
What should we do, Leeha-ssi? Shall we respond first?
Assuming no matter how formidable they are, they would not be able to cast magic faster than a dragon, Leeha had more than enough power to wipe out the five walrus paleos on the ground.
No, no! Lets wait. Ah, right! Ice Age! Ram Hwajung! You people, you know Ram Hwajung, right?
Leeha hastily spat out the words. If they didnt react to that, all he could do was run away.
Without proper adjustment of the coordinates due to the sudden gust of wind, it would take forever to come back if they ever turned back now!
We are friends of Ram Hwajung! We came to kill the Ice Ostrich! We have already killed three of them!
A flinch!
Despite ignoring the mention of Ram Hwajung, their reaction was triggered by the words Ice Ostrich.
Did you really kill the Ice Ostrich?
Well, we killed not sure if we killed them, but we succeeded in attacking them on our way here!
In a desperate attempt to explain himself, Leeha pointed and gestured wildly.
There was a brief commotion among the walrus paleos, but their expressions turned resolute quickly.
Thats impossible. Humans simply cant catch up to the speed of the Ice Ostrich. To have killed them without even being able to restrain their main bodies? An utter lie.
The main body? No, anyway! Like I said! Whether they died or not, I dont know, but we caught them from behind-
Brrraaaaam-
Ugh?!
What, what is that!
While Leeha was still gesticulating, he ended up pulling the trigger. The sudden blast twitched the thighs of the Walrus paleos.
But they didnt charge.
We took them by surprise like this.
Leeha was quick to appraise the situation. They had changed their stance already.
Having extended the olive branch once already, he needed to demonstrate his strength next. It was a lesson he learnt from multiple encounters with paleos, about the complications of being underestimated.
Ill show you how we caught them. Blaugrunn.
Yes.
Blaugrunn instantly cast Mass Teleport.
Upon seeing this, the Walrus paleos flinched once again, but their alpha remained stoic.
The very notion of humans being able to catch up with the Ice Ostrich is fundamentally impossible. Their speed is-
