I Have Tamed a Spider Monster - Chapter 162 (Patreon)

What is an Ice Cyclops?
It's a request to defeat the Ice Cyclops, but without crucial information about the Ice Cyclops, we can't determine if we can defeat it.
Since no one seems to know, I asked Melanie.
Even though Melanie only knows about the information from the Adventurers’ Guild, it's still better than nothing.
Let's hear it from her right away.

"Well, Ice Cyclopses are generally not monsters that gather in groups. However, when one appears, there may be others lurking nearby. They're about 2 to 3 meters tall, not particularly huge, but their strength is greater than that of Ogres. Additionally, they're constantly surrounded by freezing cold, and there's a possibility of freezing enemies with ranged attacks. Their weak point is their single eye, but they focus on protecting it with ice, making it difficult to penetrate even with melee attacks… That's all the information I know."

Hmm, just hearing that already tells me it's a quite troublesome monster.
First of all, we need to do something about the frost clinging to that monster, or we won't stand a chance against it.
But if I were to use a flamethrower, there's no guarantee it would work...
I'm really at a loss.

Keuko seemed to want to fight and gather information, but even gathering information is too dangerous as it is now.
First, we need to prepare equipment for frost resistance, even if it's just makeshift enchantments.
I used the Mana Spider Silk I brought along to make clothes that can be worn underneath armor.
I incorporated frost resistance enchantments into them, so we're somewhat prepared.
The others from Wildcat Claws said it was overkill, but Alizée and Melanie seem to think it's just right to be cautious.

The execution date has been set for tomorrow.
Tonight, we'll be camping out here in the vehicle.
Still, my worries won't disappear.
In the middle of the night, I quietly slipped out of the car and gazed up at the stars.
The cold and clear air accentuated the brilliance of the stars in the sky.

"Are you looking at the stars, Lady Lily?"

Alizée spoke to me from behind.
She was holding two cups with steam rising from them.
It seems she brewed tea for me.

"Do you have worries about the new type of enemy?"

"Yeah. If it's just an Ogre, it's easy to defeat, but if it's stronger than an Ogre and constantly surrounded by cold, then Talat’s silk might freeze too."

"In that case, you just have to trust the Wildcat Claws.' If we know the effective attributes for attacking, I can support you with magic. It's dangerous, but as adventurers, there are paths we can't avoid."

"That's true, but... I'm still worried."

"You're worrying too much. I'll lend a hand if needed. Please rest assured."

"... Yeah, I'll count on you, Alizée."

"Leave it to me."

I finish drinking the tea before it got cold and returned to the car to sleep.
My anxiety didn’t fade away, but if we don't overcome this, we won't be able to defeat new foes.
I need to gather my strength and face this head-on.
