Chapter 186: Snow Mountain (End)
The monster’s “emergence from the cocoon” speed was not constant.
At the beginning, when its entire body was still wrapped tightly inside human skin, the process of breaking free was extremely slow. However, as its head and both arms gradually broke through—and with those arms now outside assisting—the rest of the process suddenly felt as if it had been sped up, becoming faster and faster.
Rebecca clearly understood this as well.
While the monster was in the midst of breaking free, she did not behave like the usual cannon-fodder characters in movies, standing there dumbly watching. Instead, taking advantage of the monster’s full concentration on escaping its shell and its lack of attention to anything else, she bent down and reached out, picking up the spike that had fallen onto the snow.
After grabbing it, Rebecca reached into her coat and took out a bottle of unknown silvery-white liquid, pouring it over the metal spike.
Sizzle!
The moment the liquid made contact, a thick cloud of black smoke immediately rose from the surface of the spike.
When the smoke dissipated, the previously slightly darkened spike had returned to its original rusted appearance. An ancient and mysterious aura radiated from it.
“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!” Rebecca held the iron spike and continued chanting loudly in Spanish.
