Rebirth: Over the Horizon

Chapter 15 - Rescuing The Damsel In Distress

Adam rushed over to see what happened to the girl who screamed.

"Help..Me.."

The girl again screamed, this time he can hear it clearly, Adam quickly followed the trail of sound.

'I can't run at my maximum speed, All because of this damn snow'

After running for few minutes he could see an open place, there was a frozen lake.

Surrounded by sparkling pearls and pine trees.

As his eyes gazed at the surrounding he spotted the girl who was screaming, Surprisingly she was a mermaid but her lower half was frozen with the lake.

Blood was flowing from her hips as it was pierced by ice shards.

"Kindly help me!" Her whole body was shivering in pain, and tears were streaming out of her eyes, she murmured in a shaky voice.

"Puff..." Adam's nose began to bleed.

As he cleaned the nosebleed, he thought to himself, 'It's really obvious.'

The mermaid's breast was only covered by a piece of fabric, and both the top and bottom sides were visible.

No other man would be able to resist such a temptation; they would immediately grab it and began fondling it.

Adam was a gentleman, and all he did was only look at her breasts.

"Sir, please help me."

'Aiya! I have totally forgotten about rescuing her'

"Wait..Ms.Mermaid"

Adam took out the wand from his inventory.

There is no way these strong ice layers will break from his fireball, you don't even have to ask for his fist.

But.

"Earth Summon".

'This guy's fist is going to work.'

Two rock golems appeared in front of him and looked blankly at him.

"You two break the ice layers and save this beautiful mermaid,"

The golems bowed their heads and got right to work.

Even with the golems' power, three fists were required to shatter the ice layers.

"Thank...You"

Adam rushed over and aided the beautiful mermaid.

"Puff.." Adam's nose started to bleed again.

'What the heck, she is only wearing panties'

When he carried her to the ground the mermaid's tail suddenly changed into a human's leg and she was only wearing pink-colored panties.

"Sir...Are you okay!?" the beautiful mermaid asked worriedly, but it only increased the nosebleed for Adam.

He covered his eyes and covered her lower body with the shirt he got from the newbie set.

"Heal"

As he spoke, a magnificent golden light emerged in his hand and extended out to the wounds on the mermaid's body, healing them instantly.

"Ah...thank you, sir, I don't know how to thank you enough; not only did you save my life, but you also used magic to cure me; I'm extremely grateful."

"First, Ms. Mermaid, let's go to a cave and chat slowly."

The mermaid's cheeks flushed as she said, "En..."

"You two go around the lake gather the pearls; it'll be expensive, so be cautious not to smash them."

'Who can I leave these things in vain..'

[+Snow pearl]

[+Snow pearl]

[+Snow pearl]

After some time he had totally collected 432 snow pearls though it was collected by golems, he had information about this from the guidebook, that pearls are rare and costly so, he was delighted from this harvest.

He let the golems carry them as the snow was thick and it affected their speed.

In comparison to him, golems were much fast despite their big size and the thick snow.

Soon, they arrived at a small cave it was well hidden and was covered with snow on the outer surface.

But the problem was a snow bear, which is residing inside.

"You two, can you kill it"

They nodded their heads in unison.

"Okay, then do it quickly"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He already guessed what would have happened inside the cave.

[+EXP]

[+Bear's Wool]

[+Bear's meat]

After few seconds...

"Crackle...Crackle...Fwoosh.."

The fire was burning between two people one was a beautiful mermaid and another one was a fine-looking young man.

"Here" as he said Adam gave a large piece of bear's meat to the mermaid.

He didn't sell all the loots he got from the dungeon to the merchant guild he saved some emergencies for him also.

He also roasted one and started to eat, the two golems acted as huge boulders in front of the cave to block the cold air from entering in.

"Hmm...What's your name?" Adam asked as he chewed down a large chunk of meat.

"You can call me Emily Sir,"

"No need for formalities My name is Adam"

"En.."

"Can you tell me where I am, and where you came from, and Do you know anything about SilverWolf Lord"

"Huh.." she hesitated for a moment before started to explain things.

"I am from the great kingdom of Atlanta, located at the sea bed of God's ocean, The place we are currently in Snow territory, it is located at the West Side of our neighboring country Aconia"

'So I am still Aconia that's good' Adam recited the important information in his brain.

"Four separate Lords control the snow territory."

"The Great Snow Bear rules the north, while Ice Elves and Polar Hawk control the south and east, respectively."

"The area where we are staying is inhabited by Silver Wolf Lord, and it lies west of God's ocean."

"All four individuals are equally powered and humans are terrified of this place because of them and this cold weather."

"According to legend, a newly crowned king of Aconia attempted to conquer the Snow region before 1000 years, but was totally defeated; additionally, if a foreign adversary attacked them on a big scale, all four kings would join hands."

Adam processed all of the facts in his head and realized what he was up against.

"Then can tell me more about the place you came from, that is Atlanta"

"Huh...Yes, the great-Error...Error...[Player Adam crystal, please refrain from asking about mermaid's kingdom your level is not high enough...Protocol Completed]"

'The GM intervened Adam thought as he smirked.

"Uh? Adam what was I saying!?"

"Nothing, Emily I think you should rest even though I have healed your injuries, it was pretty much low-level magic"

"Huh...Okay, but Once I recover I can use magic and heal myself"

"Good, then I will go and scout the terrain"

Adam went out after reassuring Emily.
