Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 341 62Nd Floor Meeting

After a few day of organising the things he had to take care of, Yunan returned to the dungeon to start back on his expressway to the 80th floor, he descended to the 62nd floor and started moving as fast as possible, his primary goal was now to fully upgrade his stats, since his combat mastery was already beyond the required level, he also did not think too much about fully mapping the floor. The speed route was rather b.u.mpier compared to the usual lax way of fighting, he had used his taunts on anything within 100 km and kept moving as he fought horde after horde of snow-daughters, also known as the Yuki tribe.

Snow-daughters or the Yuki were a subspecies of the banshee and the abominable snowman or the Yeti, they had the ice attribute of the snowman tribe and the spiritual affinity of the banshee, the lore behind these creatures is rather complicated but can be summed up as follows, during the great mana corruption, the abominable snowman was born from the mutation of a certain population that lived in extremely cold mountain regions where cold was the year long season, the snowman tribe was a completely male tribe, and they had trouble finding females, their ice affinity was overwhelming even for other worldly beings like succubi who could mate with practically any species, the snowman tribe then found the solution of capturing and breeding with Banshees, the ice affinity was not effective against the spirit based banshee and the psychic powers of the banshee were easily sealed, thus the new race of females named the Yuki was born.

The Yuki were not fertile, the same with the banshees, but magic made it possible for the abominable snowman to enslave and use these females to repopulate, after some time the three tribes mysteriously disappeared from the world and they were later on encountered in the dungeon, the most plausible explanation was that there was a violent end to the three species, the banshees were able to exist again because they were not made by breeding while the snowman tribe and the Yuki tribe disappeared from history.

The Yuki tribe, that has been in captivity since its conception and due to the acts of the Yeti they have developed an innate hatred and rejection of all that was male, a female adventurer can walk free in the 62nd floor and go unmolested, while a male would be attacked immediately upon being noticed, any Yuki within 1km would join her sisters to end that man, even if he was overwhelming them like Yunan was.

Leaving aside the tragic nature of these monsters, they were just monsters, Yunan would pity them, however, he would not show mercy, nor would he give them an opportunity to gain the upper hand. Yunan had no idea why but he was not feeling very good about this floor, he certainly used all his power to speed up his pa.s.sage and was successful in acc.u.mulating his attribute points fast enough to be done before three months, still he was not able to locate the boss, no matter what, even if he just flew with his radar extending as far as possible.

When Yunan was about to give up he was approached by the boss while he was resting from the latest combat, he was sure there was nothing within a certain radius until he saw her taking form within the blizzard and becoming a dot on his radar, Since there was no malice in her approach, Yunan did not do anything other than leave his own tent, he was not wrapped in as much fur as one would think due to the low temperature.

The snow-daughter approached Yunan and ushered at the inside of the tent, he opened the flap and gestured for her that she may enter, the warm tent became frosty as soon as the boss sat inside it, Yunan let the flap close behind him and sat opposite the Yuki, he was patient and waited for her to speak, she was after all the one that approached him, if this turned out to be a fight or an ordinary conversation all depends on the Yuki sitting before him.

"Do you know about the cure of the Yuki?" The boss asked and Yunan nodded his head, "due to the vengeful hatred that your mothers had, your hearts are encased in the ice of your fathers, to live forever empty and cold, until you meet the man who would thaw you heart, you would then become a real woman devoted to the man who loved you, if the man stops loving a Yuki, she would turn to a banshee and seek vengeance on the man how broke her once serene heart".

The Yuki nodded her head "in here, we have no men that seek to thaw our hearts, we are born to fight and die, my tribe is doomed to suffer in this desolate place, we kill and be killed over and over and over, i know that this process helps turn our race into awakened faster, but that is still cruelty to me, now tell me stranger with no fear, why do you seek our demise?". Yunan shook his head and responded with a sigh "there is nothing i seek other than my own betterment, i have fought many races and species along my way here, and i have made friends with some of them, but i can not stop killing your tribe because i try to spare myself the hypocrisy of it all, you did not attack me on sight and here we are sharing words under the same roof, to me, human, beast, monster, awakened or item, it means nothing, i care only about what you show me, come to me in peace and we can be fast friends, come to me with aggression and only one of us survives".

The Yuki nodded her head, there was no falsehood in the heart of her opponent, and she appreciated that, so she decided to go forward and ask the question she came here for and bothered with all these tests. "Tell me, friend, what is the situation of my race, have we been claimed by oblivion, or are we thriving out there"
