Marching forward into the Icy Forest, Strawberry Matcha was no longer flying. Instead, she hugged her battle gown tightly alongside me. A row of white teeth greeted me as she chattered, "Boss, are you not cold at all?"

I threw a glance behind me to to see a row of footprints about 90 meters. Laughing, I replied to her, "Only one who does not fear a death of one thousand cuts will be the one who dares to unseat the emperor"

TL: Proverb meaning to be fearless.

"They already have an Assassin following us!"

"Ah, in a moment we'll deal with him."

"Okay!"

......

We continued forward for another 10 minutes. It was as if we were in another ice age; there was frost everywhere. When I raised my head, a towering cliff hung over our heads, and when I looked below the cliff, a chandelier of icicles dangled overhead. A simple gust of wind shook the extraordinarily sharp icicles, and they began to sway slightly with the wind.

Strawberry Matcha stopped suddenly. Her beautiful eyes looked at me while I looked straight back at her's. Together, we smiled suddenly as we both came up with the same plan, "Borrow a knife to kill a person..." I whispered cruelly.

TL: Idiom meaning to rely on someone else to do the dirty work.

"Boss, you're so mean..." Strawberry Matcha laughed while covering her mouth with her hands.

Deadpan, I said, "Did you not want to see this trick happen? Let's go, don't let them see the surprise. I'll have Baby Bobo take care of this then."

"Okay...."

......

I quietly waved my wrist and Baby Bobo starting crawling on the ground, leaving my field of vision before flying up into the air. Settling on the underside of the ice cliff, Baby Bobo waited to spring the trap.

I walked forward while opening the 360 degree view to help me locate where the Assassin was lurking.

It was almost time!

I gave a remote signal and Baby Bobo started its attack!

"Bzzt!"

Baby Bobo suddenly flew forward, his stinger shining gold. A Lv 6 [Combo] struck an icicle hanging from the roof of the cliff, "Pop pop pop pop!" Four consecutive sounds rang through the surroundings as an icicle that was at least 5 meters in diameter shook and fell!

Out in the open space, the footprints of the Assassin suddenly stopped. The Assassin swore loudly as he realized what was happening, "Damnit, shameless!"

"Bang!"

The icicles came crashing down causing snow and dust to fly everywhere along with strands of blood. The dead corpse of a Lv 48 Assassin was revealed to be impaled to death by the icicle.

"Hehe, the strategy was a success!" Strawberry Matcha cried out as she held my hand excitedly in triumph.

Walking forward, I unsheathed my sword and kicked apart the ice to get to the body of the Assassin. I expected items, and sure enough, there was a glowing white dagger; a Lv 41 Gold Tier with decent attack – I'd be able to sell this for a good price. After stashing the item into my bag, I turned to leave immediately. I didn't want any more trouble to come chasing after us!
