Jake confirmed his guess… something was off with the next mission. It seemed that the dungeon broke since the mission was to hunt all the monsters… could that be a bad sign? He thought that the criminals would only do something after two or three weeks, but… well, it wasn't like he had any other option, nor like he wanted.

"The rewards are too good, so definitely something is up…" Jake rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

In any case, there wasn't much point in thinking about it. Jake just began to stretch his body to prepare himself for whatever he found in the next world. It would be fun, if anything… As soon as Jake selected the mission, he appeared in another world covered in snow. One hell of a snowstorm was also falling, so the area was quite dark, even if it was the middle of the day.

All of a sudden, Jake felt some danger and then assumed his battle stance, but instead of an attack. He saw some ice pillars falling around the area, quickly creating an encirclement. Jake tried to escape through the spaces between the pillars, but they promptly sent a powerful wave of ice that froze the air. Jake swung his sword with all his might, but that didn't even scratch the ice wall.

"A trap, huh… but something is off…" Jake thought.

Jake appeared in that area after selecting a quest… that meant that others could have appeared before him, so does that mean that the trap wasn't for him? Was it to everyone? That seemed way too weird, but the odd things wouldn't stop piling up just right there… Jake felt a presence behind him, and then he saw a figure carrying a sword approach.

When the man got close enough, Jake frowned when he felt that he had seen that guy somewhere… tall, buffy, wearing full plate and blue armor… carrying a great blue sword on his back. That guy also had a shaved head, and Jake didn't know many people like that. So, he wondered why the man seemed familiar, but he didn't recognize him.

"It has been a while…" The man said.

Jake frowned and then used Appraisal, but he didn't find anything since that guy was also using Mind Armor. Still, that confirmed that Jake really knew that guy, and he wasn't supposed to be someone hard to recognize, and yet…

"... Who are you?" Jake asked.

That guy didn't pass the same vibe that Jake got from the guild masters, but he wasn't someone Jake felt comfortable around either. Moreover, he was the one who created that trap, so for all intentions and purposes, he was an enemy. He probably was with the criminals since someone who had that much time to prepare an ambush definitely knew about the dungeon break.

"... You haven't awakened yet, I see…" The bald man said. "It is a pity, but I suppose it can't be helped."

Jake had no idea what that guy was talking about, but he knew it couldn't possibly be something good. In any case, he increased his grip strength, but he wondered if it was a good idea to attack now. Maybe that crazy guy wasn't alone. For the time being, the smarter thing to do would be to wait and see until that dumbass began to reveal everything.

"You are a lot less bloodthirsty than last time," The bald man said. "Let's see if you can show your true face before I kill you."

"Well… come and try," Jake said.

The bald man didn't even try. He just raised his sword, and then the temperature around began to decrease… Jake lived on a cold planet for a few weeks to level up his Cold Resistance, but that didn't help him even a bit… to make things worse, his speed began to decrease as well.

"If I remember well, you are rather proud of your speed, let's see how well you can fare without it," The bald said.

"If I remember well, your mom misses me," Jake said. "Shouldn't you call me daddy, then?"

The bald suddenly charged at Jake. It was weird how such a stupid taunt had been so effective. Regardless, Jake managed to move his sword as fast, as usual, so he confirmed that only his movement speed had dropped.

The enemy swung his massive blue sword toward Jake, and in a downward strike, Jake readied himself to block that. Still, then the sword suddenly disappeared, and the bald man changed his Posture instantly to a horizontal strike. Jake had never seen anything like that… It wasn't because the enemy was that fast… Still, Jake managed to dodge the strike by using Flash. He could compensate for his speed with that, but not often. The strike of the bald man hit the ice wall and made the whole thing crack, but the ice soon repaired itself completely.

"He is a lot stronger than he is fast… Perhaps his ratio is three to one," Jake thought. "Still, even without the debuffs, he is faster than me, and that explains how his attacks can be way heavier than the orc hero."

That was hard to believe, given that the bald man had only been fighting for two months longer than Jake…
