Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Russia is a country with an incredibly vast territory.
However, if there’s a catch, it’s that they’re not utilizing all of that territory.
While the land mass itself boasts an enormous size stretching from the end of East Asia to Northern Europe, the land that people can live on or that is usefully utilized is far too small compared to that enormous size of land.
Russia’s territory size itself is unrivaled, firmly in first place, and it has abundant natural resources… but the fact that its population is disproportionately small compared to such territory could be seen as evidence of this.
Russia’s size is about 165 times larger than our country, and even compared to the entire Korean peninsula, it boasts a monstrous size about 77 times larger, but the actual population living there wasn’t even 200 million even in its heyday.
Considering that even Japan has a population of over 100 million, it’s certainly a small number.
At one time, it was counted among the top ten in the world for population… but small is small. How big is the land.
Russia is the only country with a territory larger than a continent.
In fact, even now, long after the appearance of superhumans, the territory is still plenty large.
‘But the problem was that the territory was too big.’
The problem is that most of that vast territory is a nominal region.
In other words, it’s Russian territory, but it’s an area they’ve let go of.
The reason is simple. As the land is large, monsters and dungeons have appeared like crazy.
It’s to the extent that more than half of Russia’s current land can be considered the domain of monsters.
Not just ordinary monsters, but many races with reason have also settled and established their territories.
Not only has it become the land of monsters, but it’s gone even further, resulting in the creation of a ‘Demon Realm’ in the Siberian region.
Unlike ordinary demon realms, it’s famous as a particularly notorious land even among infamous demon realms, identified as a special demon realm formed by countless dungeons that have been liberated without being conquered.
It’s named the White Sea Demon Realm (白海魔境).
A pure white hell that doesn’t allow human footsteps, and a paradise for monsters.
‘Well, it’s not like monsters get along well with each other, so it’s probably just a hellish landscape.’
In fact, there’s little known about it and no attempts to conquer it, so information itself is extremely rare.
Russia’s hellish weather, which was already fiercely harsh to invaders, became even more intensified in the age of superhumans, and on top of that, it’s joined hands with monsters, so it can’t be normal!
However, even so, people don’t worry about the White Sea Demon Realm.
No matter what happens inside it, what great strong ones are there, what new history is written, because that exists next to the White Sea Demon Realm.
One of the Three Great Witches and an EX-rank transcendent.
An eccentric who has mastered all sorts of sorcery, curses, and rituals, and the pinnacle of mystery. The Witch Queen Illia Ferndov.
As long as her domain, the Mirror Palace, is right next to the White Sea Demon Realm, there’s no way the White Sea Demon Realm could act up. That’s the weight of an EX-rank.
‘From Russia’s perspective, which has lost more territory, it might not taste good…’
Although Russia is currently in a bad state, battered here and there due to monsters and superhumans, it’s still fortunate in a way that the monsters’ territory can’t expand any further thanks to having given up some to the Witch Queen.
Anyway, I’ve given a long-winded explanation… but in fact, it’s all useless talk in the current situation.
Because where we’re walking now is the monsters’ territory, but it’s not a demon realm. Not all of the monsters’ territory is a demon realm. Only a part of it has become a demon realm.
The Witch Queen’s territory straddles the middle between the demon realm and the human-inhabited area, so for us who can be considered to be on the opposite side, we won’t even see the nose of the Witch Queen.
‘We just need to get the divine medicine…’
The problem is that it doesn’t seem like it will be easy this time.
‘The weather is really not easy.’
The biggest problem is, of course, the weather.
Russian weather was originally famous for being hellish, but it used to give some rest time, but after it transformed into this monsters’ land, it’s become a literal hell without any rest time.
It’s like an 8-ton truck with a broken steering wheel that’s always flooring the accelerator at full power. It’s weather without any brakes.
What this means is that because blizzards are constantly raging, it’s difficult to grasp the situation, and because of that, the journey to find the precious divine medicine has become somewhat difficult.
‘With the land being so vast and the weather like this, it’s really not easy.’

Whew, it’s fortunate that we have the reliable vanguard Chung Soha. If I had to find the way with what I know, it probably would have taken an enormous amount of time. In the first place, how could an ordinary person like me do anything more in this weather?
‘Still, experiencing it firsthand, is it a gain if we can see that there could be such blind spots?’
It’s ambiguous to even do fortune-telling because of the weather, as it’s the kind of weather where cards could all blow away if laid out…
On days like this, what can we do but follow a guide?
“Still nothing you can feel?”
“I don’t have any sensations catching on. But since we’ve roughly grasped the direction from the fortune-telling, it’s probably just a matter of time. However… it seems like it will take some time.”
“That can’t be helped. I roughly expected that finding a precious divine medicine in this vast Russian land wouldn’t be easy!”
With this terrible weather and monsters constantly popping up, it would be stranger if it didn’t take time.
“Take it slow, take it slow. There’s no need to overdo it at all.”
It was lucky that we weren’t in a demon realm to begin with. If it had been a demon realm, the difficulty would have been much higher than now. This goes without saying.
If it had been a demon realm instead of just monsters’ territory, it wouldn’t be strange even if S-rank monsters popped up instead of monsters that can be handled simply like now, as it’s such a vicious place.
Anyway, like that, using the equipment we had prepared in advance for times like this, we moved while digging into the snow, sleeping, and resting in this harsh Russian land for three days now…
“Wait, I think I’ve found something, Hanul. Some kind of… extremely hot, extreme yang energy…!”
“Oh?! Finally!”
Just when I thought we might finally reap the fruits of our 2 nights and 3 days of running solely for the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp’s inner core!
“But this… isn’t the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp.”
“Huh? It’s not the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp?”
I thought it must be that when he said extremely hot, extreme yang energy, but it wasn’t?!
“It’s not our target, but an uninvited guest. It seems to be a superhuman, and quite a high-level strong one at that.”
“Hot energy, a strong one that you would express like that in your current state… there’s only one such superhuman??”
Overwhelming strong ones with extraordinary strength that are classified separately not by grade but by rank. That’s what S-rank superhumans are.
But even among them, there are superhumans who are known to be stronger than others, who have reached the extreme of S-rank… when asked who is the strongest among S-ranks, there are those who are never left out.
Among such superhumans, there’s only one who handles extreme yang energy, that is, heat.
One of the beings praised as half-straddling the wall.
‘Flame Thousand Rivers’ Ramsen Armund. It can only be that person…
And if one of such incredibly high-level superhumans is coming this way…
‘…Is a fight breaking out?’
I don’t know with what intention or for what reason they’re approaching… but just in case.
Thinking that maybe their path just happened to overlap with ours while heading somewhere else, not towards us, we just stood still in place, but of course, that didn’t work.
“…They’ve come.”
And as a result, we could see a person along with strong heat that seemed to want to not only prevent the blizzard from blowing just by walking, but also to completely melt this fiercely cold Russian cold and turn the area into summer.
A muscular physique showing both a healthy-looking tan and physical beauty, and toughness walking around without even fully buttoning up in this cold weather. And an overwhelming aura and ability.
Indeed, it was a superhuman famous enough that even I had heard of, whose nickname was not in vain.
As we swallowed nervously, tense at the fact that such a powerful superhuman was now in front of our eyes, Flame Thousand Rivers also seemed to have spotted us and stopped in place.
“…Tsk, so I didn’t feel it wrong.”
Then he clicked his tongue and opened his mouth.
“I’ll ask just in case, but are you guys on your way to catch a carp called the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp?”
“Ooh…”
In this world! To think we even have the same target!
Tsk, does this mean we have to fight even with a big shot like Flame Thousand Rivers?!
But we can’t just give up completely just because the opponent’s reputation is great… I immediately stepped back, and at the same time, my friends who had been seriously staring at the approaching Flame Thousand Rivers Ramsen Armund jumped forward.
With an attitude as if they would draw their swords at the slightest movement, on edge and ready to spring out at any moment… with their weapons half-drawn.
Flame Thousand Rivers, who had stopped at some distance and swept his gaze over this scene, frowned as if dumbfounded but still snorted haughtily.
“Hmph!”
Then he calmly looked at us with an attitude befitting his reputation and opened his mouth.
“How about we resolve this through dialogue first, like civilized people?”
…Huh??
