Black Witch Log-in

32. Cliffs

After a long journey I finally reached the limit of this snow world.

It was a very steep cliff, the snowstorm made me unable to see the bottom of the cliff.

“I feel like I'm at the top of the mountain.” I thought that was based on the sheer precipice and thin air around.

My gaze returned to the path I had been on. The storm made the footprints I made disappear.

“There's nothing else there.” My attention goes back to the bottom of the cliff. “No other way.” I took the only available path down the cliff.

The snow falling on the rocks made it so slippery, I had to be very careful at every step I took. Making a mistake once will make me freefall to the bottom of the abyss.

Ding!

[Congratulations on completing the challenge (Survival of the Frozen Hell)]

“Aaah... no!.”

The sudden notification surprised me and caused one of my hands to slip. As a result, I also jumped free.

Falling from such a high place would make me die instantly. Then if I die, the thing that will happen to me is to go back to the place where there is only snow so cold because there is my initial respawn point.

“That's not funny at all.” I swiftly used the sword I got from the frozen corpse to be stuck on the cliff.

The first attempt failed because the hard rocks were impenetrable by the rusty sword I used, it was precisely the sword that was destroyed.

Refusing to give up I used the second sword.

“Oh!.”

Had been happy when the second sword entered between the stones, but it did not last long because the sword was broken because it could not withstand the weight of my body.

The one thing I got from the frozen corpse was trash, even the clothes I used from the corpses could be easily damaged.

Braak!

“Agghh!.”

My body hit the rocks so hard. It felt very painful, as if my spine was shifting.

The pain was so real that I was unable to think for a moment, as a result of which the anger started to overflow as the pain I was experiencing got worse.

Graaaa! In a fit of rage I took out an axe that looked still usable from the inventory. Swinging the axe with all his might with Viking rage, it pierced through the rocks to stop my body from falling.

“This is very bad.” while continuing to hold on to the ship I saw a wound on the waist due to the impact just now. Blood flowed from the torn wound that was so wide and maybe some of my ribs were broken.

“How can they create a game like this?.” everything I experience makes me feel like I'm not playing a game.

The overflowing anger makes it hard to pounce. This situation is very dangerous, I must not fall into my own anger.

“I've experienced worse.” I said to myself. “this anger is only because I didn't expect it because I kept assuming Minvers was just a regular game.”

The cold air helped me to ease the anger until the Viking rage effect finally disappeared. The anger subsided I was able to think clearly again.

After calming down I tried to find a place to stand. Blood that keeps flowing will be a problem if not treated immediately. Lucky from where I hung there was a stone that I could make my footing.

“It looks like this will be my last good luck.” the stone is not wide enough, only able to hold one leg. But that's more than enough for me.

I started swinging, my feet walking on the cliff wall to do a swing. Then when I was sure I immediately pulled the axe that I used to hang and ran on the wall of the cliff to the rock.

I perfectly reached the rock and stood on it. I almost fell because I ran too fast on the cliff wall, but I managed to control my balance.

Feeling safe after getting a stand, I immediately took some cloth from the clothes of the frozen corpses. I intended to use the cloth to cover the wound.

“Arg!.” I tried to endure the pain when pressing the wound using a cloth.

Almost half of my health was lost just because of the wounds just now. But judging by how high I was, I think it still makes sense. It's even amazing if there's anyone who can survive the incident that I just experienced.

“Not bad.” said I who tried to sit on a rock. I tried to rest, either because I was too tired due to the almost life-threatening incident or just to recover health.

But unfortunately automatic health recovery only applies when the health bar is below 20%.

It was very quiet, only the sound of strong gusts of wind I heard, but the silence soon ended when the voice sounded

Lolay!

I heard the sound of birds squealing from a distance. Then my vision caught a silhouette moving from behind the clouds.

“It was big.” muttered when I realized that I was no longer alone in this place.

[TP POV]

Estrid (name of Avatar) clasped the axe tightly in her hand, preparing to defend herself if the giant bird flying behind the fog made its solid attack.

Estrid's guess was correct, the silhouette of the bird moved closer towards her. “So it was so quiet then why suddenly came a bird that wanted to attack me?.” Estrid thought of several things that might have caused the bird to find itself.

“What because of the screams when I fell or he smelled blood?.” thought Estrid.

“Whatever it is come here, I will make you a roast.” Estrid was so confident that she could defeat her first monster.

“I've been waiting for this for five hours.” Estrid was impatient for the fight after spending a long time in such a desolate stretch of snow.

But the woman's courage disappeared immediately after the bird showed its form from behind the fog.

The kreeekkkk!

“Seriousness!.” Estrid was so surprised to see the size of the bird that approached her. The size of the creature was even larger than a Superjumbo Jet.

The giant beak was wide open showing a cave-like oral cavity that Estrid could enter without difficulty. But of course Estrid has no intention of entering into the cave that will make it digested.

Estrid jumped to avoid the beak that was about to eat it. He again used the axe as a hook on the rock cliff. Estrid saw the place that a while ago had become her footing had now been destroyed by the collision of the beak of a giant bird.

Lolay!

The giant bird pulls its head from a hole in the cliff formed by its own beak. The monster looked at Erina who had managed to dodge the attack.

Realizing that the giant bird was going to strike again, Estrid immediately pulled the axe from the rock and kicked the cliff that made him jump far enough.

“Almost just.” Estrid was grateful to be able to avoid the second attack, although she barely survived because it was one second late Estrid would end up in the mouth that continued to pursue her.

The kraauuuk! The bird was enraged when a second attempt to eat Estrid again failed. He no longer cared about eating Estrid, the monster's fury only wanted to eliminate the lowly creatures that made him feel humiliated.

Kraarr...

The giant bird opened its mouth wide towards Estrid. From inside the bird's throat Estrid could see the light getting brighter.

“It won't be that easy...” Estrid jumps the collar of a bird's mouth. “.... damn kneeling bird!.” He slashed the axe into the mouth of the giant bird to injure the jaw. Along with that a flash of lightning shot out from the bird's beak caused a huge explosion.

Surviving the third attack, Estrid was now on the back of the monster that was about to eat her. Birds of mercury get angry when they feel pain in the mouth due to Estrid attack.

“Now what are you going to do?.” being on the bird's back left Estrid untouched. The woman can now carry out an attack on a creature that is looking for trouble with her.
