Chapter 181: The Thing That Emerged Into the World (3)
The monster before them looked like an ape, but its entire body and even its eyes were pure white. Its claws were long and cruel, more like blades than nails.
Ketal knew exactly what this thing was. It was a monster from the White Snowfield.
He had spent an unimaginable amount of time trapped in that desolate place, the White Snowfield, only managing to escape after countless years and endless struggle. When he finally met the conditions to leave, he was able to come to the fantasy world he had always yearned for. After enduring so long in that frozen prison, he never wanted anything to do with the creatures from there ever again.
Yet now, he was confronted by a White Snowfield monster in this world. The feeling was surreal, almost impossible to put into words.
Why is that thing here? Ketal’s thoughts whirled.
“That thing is dangerous, Ketal. It’s strong and fast. It looks like the Demon Realm apes, but it’s an entirely different being,” Aquaz quickly tried to explain, a warning in her tone. But Ketal replied in a calm, almost casual voice, as if none of this surprised him.
“I know what it is,” he said.
“What? You do?” Aquaz was startled, her eyes widening in disbelief.
“That’s right. I know it very well,” Ketal replied, his expression unwavering.
“How... how can you possibly know about it?” Aquaz was visibly shaken. Something this bizarre shouldn’t exist anywhere else in the world. The idea that Ketal would know such a creature seemed unthinkable. But then a memory flitted through her mind—Ketal was not a barbarian from this continent.
“That’s a monster from the White Snowfield,” Ketal confirmed. “I don’t know why it’s here.”
“Is that... really true?” Aquaz asked him, almost in a whisper.
