Free Web NovelChapter 120: Crimson Bunny Vs Flame Yeti
Metal fragments blasted across the deck.
Nobody’s eyes widened. "...Oh."
FLASH!!
Using Zigzag...He instantly disappeared.
The shattered steel slammed into the spot where he had been standing.
CRAAAAASH!!
Smoke rolled across the deck. Burning debris scattered everywhere.
"..." Nobody landed several meters away. "...I may have spoken too soon."
Heavy footsteps echoed through the smoke.
THUD.
THUD.
THUD.
Each step shook the ship.
The frozen smugglers stared in absolute horror. "N-No...he actually came out..."
The smoke slowly parted. A gigantic silhouette emerged. Burning crimson fur. Towering muscles, massive claws and two blazing horns. Its fiery eyes locked directly onto Nobody.
The night itself seemed darker behind the enormous creature.
The System immediately displayed a crimson warning window.

Nobody quietly read every line. Then slowly looked back up at the towering monster. A grin gradually returned beneath the crimson bunny helmet. "...A Unique-class monster..." He rested one crowbar on his shoulder. "So...An unpredictable monster, huh?"
The Flame Yeti answered with another earth-shaking roar.
Nobody simply tightened his grip on both crowbars. "Heh...I was wondering when tonight would finally get interesting."
The burning cargo ship groaned beneath the weight of the gigantic monster. Flames danced across the steel walls while icy mist still lingered around the shattered container.
Nobody slowly twirled both crowbars. One glowed with icy blue frost. The other reflected the orange flames surrounding the monster. He cracked his neck. "Alright..." He pointed one crowbar toward the towering beast. "Get ready..." A grin spread beneath the crimson bunny helmet. "...Reverse of General Yeti."
The enormous creature let out a furious growl. Its blazing eyes locked onto Nobody. Instead of charging...It spoke. Its voice echoed like thunder. "I...WON’T LET YOU...STEAL THE GOLD...OR THE DRUGS!!"
Nobody blinked. "..." He slowly looked around. Then pointed at himself. "...Did this bitc* just speak?"
The monster slammed one burning fist against its chest. "I....PROTECT...TREASURE!"
Nobody scratched the side of his helmet. "Aah...I get it." He slowly nodded. "You may be one of those humans turned into monsters by Ray."
The Flame Yeti growled. Its claws dug deep into the frozen steel deck.
Nobody sighed. "...That’s honestly sad." He rested both crowbars on his shoulders. "Don’t worry..I’ll kill you....with the most merciful way possible."
The monster answered with another deafening roar.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!
Its flames erupted even higher. The temperature around the deck skyrocketed. The frozen patches began melting. Steam covered the battlefield.
Far above...
Ray smiled while watching everything unfold. "He figured it out....Interesting."
Back aboard the cargo ship...The Flame Yeti suddenly stopped moving.
Nobody raised an eyebrow. "...Huh?"
The monster slowly stepped backward.
Then...It spread both feet apart. Its arms bent into a strangely familiar stance. One claw pulled back beside its waist. The other extended forward. Orange flames gathered between both palms. A tiny spark appeared.
Then another and another.
Within seconds...A blazing sphere rapidly formed.
"....." Nobody stared."...No way."
The monster inhaled deeply. The flaming sphere continued growing larger. Its light illuminated the entire cargo ship. The surrounding air distorted from the extreme heat.
Then...
The monster shouted at the top of its lungs. "YAME...GAAME...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!"
The enormous fireball exploded forward.
FWOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!
The ocean beneath the ship reflected the blazing attack. The crew members who almost melted screamed, "It’s coming!! The whole ship’s going to explode!!"
Nobody remained completely still. "For real?" He slowly pointed toward the monster. "Bro...I know exactly where you’re taking that reference from."
The giant fireball rapidly closed the distance. The surrounding steel glowed red from the heat.
Nobody casually spun his frost-infused crowbar. Cold mist surrounded the weapon.
The System calmly appeared.

Nobody smiled. "Let’s bat it with full time glory..."
The blazing sphere arrived.
Nobody stepped forward. "Homerun."
CLAAAAAAAAAANG!!
The icy crowbar smashed directly into the center of the gigantic fireball. For a brief moment...Fire...And frost...Collided.
The entire ocean seemed to freeze.
CRAAAAAAACK!!
A ring of icy energy burst outward. Instead of exploding...The enormous fireball changed direction.
WHOOOOOOSH!!
It flew straight back toward the Flame Yeti. The monster’s eyes widened. "...WHAT?!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
The burning sphere slammed directly into its massive chest. A violent explosion shook the cargo ship. Flames erupted into the night sky. Smoke covered the battlefield.
The crew covered their eyes. "...Did....Did it hit?"
The smoke slowly cleared. The gigantic monster staggered backward. Its chest was covered in scorch marks. It growled in pain. "ARRRRGHHHH!!" Dark red blood trickled from the corner of its mouth before dripping onto the steel deck.
Nobody whistled. "...Dang...Self-inflicted damage. You sure hate yourself a lot."
The Flame Yeti wiped the blood away with one massive hand. Its eyes burned even brighter.
Far above...Ray slowly leaned forward. "He returned the attack....Interesting."
The monster suddenly laughed. A deep...Terrifying laugh. "HAAAA...HAAAA..." Then...Flames erupted beneath its feet.
WHOOSH!!
Its enormous body slowly rose into the air. Burning fire spiraled beneath it.
The crew stared upward. "It...It’s flying!"
Nobody looked up. "...Huh?"
The monster floated several meters above the cargo ship. Its blazing fur fluttered like living fire. Arms folded and head lowered. Its flames intensified dramatically. The entire scene looked unbelievably dramatic.
Nobody crossed his arms. "...You trying to farm aura?"
The Flame Yeti continued floating silently. Its burning eyes stared downward.
Nobody laughed. "Oh...I get it...You think looking cool gives you an aura of some badass monster." He pointed a crowbar upward. "Sorry...Wrong game."
The monster extended one claw. Flames gathered around it once again. The surrounding air trembled.
Nobody stretched his shoulders. "I’ll kick you so hard...that your future kids won’t even know what aura means."
The System appeared.

Nobody nodded. "Yeah....I figured."
The monster suddenly vanished.
FLASH!!
Nobody blinked. "...Fast."
A massive claw came crashing down from above.
BOOOOOOM!!
The steel deck caved inward.
Nobody had already disappeared using Zigzag. He reappeared behind the monster. "Missed me."
BONK!!
The icy crowbar slammed into the monster’s shoulder.
CLANG!!
Nobody blinked. "...That sounded metallic. What this guy eats for breakfast...you were not eating those golds, were you?"
The Flame Yeti slowly turned its head. Its grin widened.
Nobody awkwardly laughed. "...Heh...You’re tougher than you look."
The monster swung its arm.
WHOOSH!!
Nobody ducked beneath the massive claw. The attack sliced through several steel containers behind him.
CRAAAAASH!!
Shipping containers tumbled across the deck. Gold bars spilled everywhere.
Several landed near Nobody’s feet. He looked down. Then back at the monster. "You know...I almost forgot." He casually kicked one gold bar aside. "I’m not even here for your treasure." He pointed both crowbars toward the towering beast. "I’m here..because bad guys like you don’t get free shipping."
The Flame Yeti roared loud enough to shake the sea.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAR!!
Flames erupted from every part of its body. The moonlit sky turned crimson.
Far away...Ray smiled. "Yes...Now entertain me."
Nobody slowly lowered into a fighting stance. Frost rolled across the steel beneath his boots.
The Flame Yeti floated higher. Its blazing fists ignited once again.
One maniac biker and one flame yeti monster.
Under the silent moon...The real battle...was finally about to begin.
The cold ocean wind howled across the battlefield. One side radiated scorching flames. The other released endless frost.
Nobody slowly spun both crowbars around his wrists.
CLANG.
CLANG.
The metallic sounds echoed across the moonlit sea. Nobody pointed one crowbar toward the floating Flame Yeti. "You know...You’ve got a lot of muscles."
The monster growled. "...BUT...YOU TALK TOO MUCH."
Nobody placed a hand on his chest. "That’s called confidence."
The Flame Yeti snorted. "...IT’S CALLED ANNOYING."
Nobody gasped dramatically. "Ouch...Emotional damage."
Far above...
Ray couldn’t help smirking. "...They’re arguing! I created a Unique-class monster...And it’s arguing with that NPC..He really knows how to piss people."
The Flame Yeti suddenly spread both arms.
WHOOSH!!
Hundreds of small fireballs appeared behind it. Each one burned like a miniature sun. The surrounding air became unbearably hot.
The System immediately responded.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Nobody looked upward. "...One hundred forty-eight?" He scratched his helmet. "Couldn’t you round it up to one hundred fifty?"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"...You’re no fun."
The Flame Yeti roared. "GO!!"
WHOOSH!!
The flaming projectiles shot downward like a blazing meteor shower.
Crew members hiding behind containers screamed. "They’re everywhere! The whole ship’s going to explode!"
Nobody calmly inhaled. Then smiled. "Heh.I’ve always wanted to try this." He slammed one icy crowbar against the deck.
CLANG!!
A circular wave of frost exploded outward.
CRAAAAACK!!
The frozen steel rapidly spread in every direction. Even the surrounding ocean beside the ship became covered by a thick layer of ice.
The first fireball struck.
BOOM!!
A pillar of steam erupted. Then another.
BOOM!!
Another cloud of white mist filled the air.
Within seconds...The battlefield disappeared beneath endless steam. Nothing could be seen.
The Flame Yeti narrowed its blazing eyes. "...WHERE...ARE YOU?"
Only the sound of the waves echoed.
Then...A familiar voice came from somewhere inside the white mist. "Guess."
The monster instantly swung one massive claw.
WHOOSH!!
It cut through nothing but steam.
Another voice echoed from the opposite side. "Nope."
The Flame Yeti turned again.
"Wrong direction." Nobody said.
Before it could react....
FLASH!!
Nobody appeared above its head. He grinned beneath the crimson bunny helmet. "Peekaboo."
The Flame Yeti’s eyes widened. "...YOU!"
Nobody raised both frost-covered crowbars. "Round Two. Let’s see if your head is as tough as your attitude."
Both crowbars descended toward the monster as the moon shone brightly above the burning sea.
