Chapter 434 The Perilous Errand (I)

While Bladeheart is currently with the mysterious man, fighting underground, Sigma and the others are also ready to do the quest that Almira handed to them. Right now, Sigma is currently creating some potions for everyone. Although Bladeheart's ex job is different, Sigma's ex job is Pharmacist, allowing her to create potions, and even though it's not as effective as the potions that Bladeheart makes, it is better to have more potions without him around to supply them with it.

"Already done with the preparation guys?" Sigma asked.

"Yeah," everyone nodded.

"Then, let's go."

Sigma throws a little device on the snow and a mobile carriage popped out from that making everyone surprised.

"So this is what they are saying that is going to be used by the people to move around the snow. This is interesting," Sigma nodded as she inspected the carriage herself.

"Where did you get this, Sigma-chan? I have never seen a vehicle or trinket like this before."

"This is one of the portable snow carriages that can be deployed and put away to be fully used in navigating the frozen lands. It's not that cheap in terms of prices but pretty affordable considering for us players with lots of gold."

"I can't believe they are selling things like this. Are you sure this was not a quest reward and this thing is just exclusive to you?"

"No. I bought it from a store that features different gadgets and tools for the outside world exploration and some tools for convenience that would help a lot of the people in the kingdom. I just decided to buy this one since we will be departing as a group though if you like to travel alone or you have no companions in snow exploration, the portable snowmobile is also available too."

"Damn, these look so dope man, I will be buying these vehicles once I get enough gold," Dolly is pretty excited. She likes to ride new things like this so she would indeed be excited to own one too.

"Let's go and start the quest. I already talked with the two queens about our current errand and they already know what happened to Bladeheart too. We can now safely depart and move to our first target. The quest will be really long so there are no more ways to get back or log out. Anyone ready to proceed?"

"Yeah!"

"Then let's go."

...

...

The moment they departed, the questline is updated and everyone received the notice. The name of the quest also changed.

...

[The Perilous Errand]

Almira has sent your group on a special errand to gather the specific materials she needed. The first item she wanted you all to get is located in the Great Frozen Lake. Below the frozen lake is an abomination monster that will swallow any unsuspecting prey trying to walk around the ice . Defeat the monster and retrieve its Gill.

Corrupted Gill: 0/1

Rewards: [???(Revealed and will be received after the Questline ends)], 1,000,000 gold, and 1,000,000 EXP.

...

"I can smell the danger here already. No way a quest this generous with gold and experience points be an easy one. Trust me, I already have some idea of the enemies we might be fighting against already," Hagane shook his head.

"Yeah, it is definitely a big trap. It's too generous and quests are not this generous unless it was hard and since this was the first quest from the chain of quests we will be receiving and this is already generous in rewards, it is already a big flag," Harmless Sparrow frowned.

"But there is no way we can back out on this one. All we can do is move forward and fight whatever is in store for us. However, we will win this. We just needed to work together and win," Sigma reassured the team.

Sigma then pulls out the Map of the Frozen Desert and pointed out the location of their quest.

"Looks like we are not too far from our destination now."

"I didn't expect this carriage is able to move fast with all the snow around us," Bladeheart's mother was amazed as she looked outside the window.

"It was designed to move fast and stable in this place due to how frequent monster attacks are. Maybe it was designed to outrun monsters in case they try to attack. It was one of the main reasons perhaps," Sigma explained.

Just as they thought it would be a peaceful journey toward their destination, Mr. Teddy immediately noticed something from outside. Without speaking, Sigma immediately understood what Mr. Teddy is trying to tell.

"Range attackers, get ready. We have enemies on our six."

Everyone immediately got alerted. Dolly and Topaz immediately made their move to intercept and fight the incoming enemies. Topaz was about to go out but Mr. Teddy immediately pulled her back to her seat. Just in time, a very long figure appeared and bump into the carriage and pass through the window that Topaz was about to go out into. If she didn't get inside before the impact, she is definitely dead.

"Ah...thank you, Mr. Teddy." Topaz breathes a sigh of relief.

"Topaz, you alright?" Iron rushed to her sister who managed to get away and turned to look angrily outside.

"I'm fine, Brother. More importantly, are those snakes?"

There are two long figures dashing together with the carriage. It's not small to be disregarded as a small danger. It was big enough that they have to be alarmed over it already.

"I heard from one of the NPCs that the area around here would be a bit more desolate from monsters due to the two predators nearby that can easily kill other monsters smaller or a bit bigger than its size. Perhaps these monsters were the ones that those guys are pointing out," Chase told the group and they all agree that they just crossed a territory lethal enough to be not considered a place that people would stay in.

"Looks like that is really the case here, first, we will have to get rid of those two and stop them from both crushing our carriage using their huge bodies. Second, we make our way to our target area, and hopefully, the monster that has the gills is not as troublesome as this. Girls, support me by firing magic. Boys, be ready to help the girls if they are ever in trouble and be sure to be the ones who will stop those monsters from getting close to our carriage. The worst thing that would happen is that we get pretty much crushed to pieces and we will be forced to wall all the way to our next quest targets."

After saying that, she opened the door of the carriage and jump to the roof where she can easily unleash her abilities. She might be a holy knight but that doesn't mean she doesn't have anything she can use to fight in range. She already knows what will happen. She is the immovable knight. No matter what kind of enemy it was, as long as she can stop its attacks, then it was a battle she will win.

She stood there steadfast and firm. Despite the movement of the carriage being unstable, she remained calm and collected as she observed the two monsters dashing through the snow with their slender and scaly bodies. They are big and if anyone has seen the Mega Snake Movie, the size of the snakes are as big as them.

She didn't attack but she is ready to do so. She didn't just stand there to observe, she is there, to attract the attention of the monsters.

"[PROVOKE]!"

The two snakes immediately noticed her provoke and they didn't waste their time staying far from the carriage. They immediately started heading to the carriage with their fangs baring and ready to bite down.

"[Chains of the Heavens]!"

DANG DANG DANG DANG!

Multiple chains rained down from the sky and landed on the two snakes in full succession. It wasn't just there to damage them, they were restrained from their movements and even if they try to pull out from the chains, the monsters didn't even get to move away from them.

"Now!"

The shout was the signal and the two magicians unleashed their strongest spells in succession. The monsters started screaming and they are now having a hard time to even getting away from the attacks. Even if they are bombarded by attacks, the chains didn't break and they are forced to remain still on the snow without any ability to move.

After that, the carriage stopped and Sigma went down from the roof of the carriage as she stood in between the two monsters. She look at the two alternately before speaking what was on her mind.

"You two are going to be following my words after this. Disobedience means death."

She then pulls out two gold chains and throws them at the two monsters. It was fast that everyone didn't expect Sigma to do that.

To everyone's surprise, though, she managed to land the right timing.

[Congratulations for taming two monsters at the same time]!
