Chapter 305
Episode 305: The Age of Wolves
The end suddenly began on a hot summer day.
This is an era in which feuds and infidelities are prevalent.
In other words, the ‘Age of Wolves’ was opened, and the heavens and the earth were opened, and countless people who wanted blood were laid to rest.
Son of Fenrir. Skoll and Hati opened their huge jaws to devour the sun and moon. Soon ‘eternal darkness’ will come to the earth and disaster will come in earnest.
three roosters.
And Garm, the dog guarding the entrance to Helheim, howls.
All of that meant only one thing.
Ragnarok.
It was the beginning of a long winter, its end and end.
However, at that moment.
In the darkness of dusk, a brighter light than ever before ignited.
The briefness of the nine worlds is broken with a terrifying scream.
adversary.
10,000 years ago, the weakest of the three sisters opened the door.
That moment.
The third verse of the prophecy resonates clearly throughout the nine worlds.
[The adversary will proceed according to his will, and in the end he will have everything he wants in his hands.]
Third verse. At the end, a small note was added:
[In fact, he will never know that he already has everything.]
* * *
[Next news. This is the news about the war with Valkyrie that covered all of Miles Academy. The result of investigating the truth of the incident over the past six months. The existence of gods, including the Æsir, was confirmed.
The appearance of gates and the appearance of monsters. And there is an opinion that the transcendent human race called Radar was also derived from them.]
[Yes. It seems a bit unreasonable to think of the two incidents separately.
But why did the gods, who had not moved for 10 years, move? Also, the reason for the attack on cadet Min Jae-hyun, who is called the opponent of the prophecy, has not yet been properly revealed.] [Are
you saying that we have no choice but to watch the situation?] [
That’s right. Unfortunately, three years of long winter. Fimbulbert has already begun. The reason is that it suddenly started snowing in the summer and that it lasted for six months.
Ragnarok. What if there was a war between the gods in mythology? Also, if the war breaks out at one point on the earth, at least hundreds of millions of people will lose their lives.] [
The appearance of gods and giants standing at opposite ends of Min Jae-hyun’s Raider and Valkyrie, who are the only hope for now, and whether they help humans has become important.
How will things go in the future? Thank you for your interest.]
“…Is this how it turned out?”
Jaehyun muttered for a while as he took the Bluetooth wireless earbuds out of his ears. He was listening to world radar news on the road.
The reason was that he needed to know the latest situation.
But… it seemed that the work was much bigger than I thought.
With all the major media outlets and broadcasting stations only covering stories about him and the Æsir, Jaehyun felt like he was going to lose his mind.
“Well, in a way, it’s not natural. Because all the scenes of me and Sigrun fighting were broadcast live all over the world.”
The world has been in utter chaos lately. The voice of the announcer, who seemed embarrassed a moment ago, was still clear in Jaehyun’s ears, so there was nothing more to explain.
It was unavoidable.
Basically the identity of the Aesir gods. And the changes taking place all over the world were a new divergence of mankind.
The present is very important to plan for the future.
Jaehyun was never unaware of this.
However… even so, there was no reason to create an atmosphere of fear throughout the world by talking about the dangers excessively like now.
‘can not understand.’
Why are they scaring the citizens?
Jaehyun could not hastily figure out the intentions of the World Radar Alliance.
In fact, they should know better that you can’t do anything just by being frightened.
Even so, the TV was repeating the same sound like a parrot.
Jaehyun got annoyed and turned off his smartphone completely.
After all, you will have to endure the ordeal for a while. There was no reason to turn it on.
“Anyway, six months have already passed… I thought I was really dying at the time.”
Jaehyun calmly put his hands in his pockets.
The conversation partner was clear.
hella. She was following right next to him.
Indeed, like a guide through trials, he came to accompany him this time as well.
Greung!
Poppy was also toddling after Jaehyun, making a pleasant sound. Now the guy has grown quite a bit and weighs almost 10 kg.
If you’re a normal person, it would be difficult to hug and carry with both arms now.
Actually, he likes to walk on his own feet, so there was no problem with him walking.
…Of course, the case was different when he was in Kim Yoo-jung’s arms.
‘Strangely, when only Kim Yoo-jung is next to her, she whines and acts cute.’
“…joy.”
Hella looked at Jaehyun’s profile and snorted lightly.
Jaehyun didn’t pay much attention and thought for a while.
6 months in hospital.
It’s new, but it was a period that can be said to be quite long.
Of course, he wasn’t just lying in the hospital room.
Jaehyun took care of the things he had put off for a while in order, one by one, until he regained his strength.
First of all, the first thing was to kill Odin’s raven.
Except for Huginn and Munin, you found one of the crows in Midgard and killed them. The price was a little bit high, but I was able to raise it.
It was insignificant compared to Shin, but it wasn’t bad enough for Jaehyun, who was lacking in status right away, so I decided to be satisfied.
At that time and even now, reproduction was desperate.
If there is any benefit, you should do anything. It was important to struggle as much as possible to control his new power.
Next was training to control the power of representation and normalization of the body.
It was unavoidable, but his condition was the worst after overexerting himself once. This was inevitable as some kind of rehabilitation period was needed.
Thanks to that, Jaehyun’s physical condition is almost perfect.
…just one thing.
Except for the prohibition of divine power, it was a story like that.
Meanwhile, at his expression, Hella’s forehead flinched and crumpled for a moment.
Her fine lips are, for some reason, a pale crimson color.
It was because continuing to polymorph in the form of a cat consumed quite a bit of mana, so there was talk of hiding one’s true identity.
Also, when it comes to hiding people (?), interpersonal relationships are the best.
There was also a trivial conclusion.
For these reasons.
For the first time in her life, Hella was roaming freely in human form. They said Kim Yoo-jung and Seo In-na, who were very excited, lent their cosmetics and dressed them.
The expression on his face at that time was really good to see.
Seeing him dying because it was awkward, Jaehyun just kept laughing.
Anyway, thanks for going through that process. In the eyes of others, the girl next to her only looked like Jae-hyeon’s younger sister. Hella couldn’t help it, and that made her look uncomfortable.
she said in a slightly annoyed tone.
“…You speak casually as if it were someone else’s business. I don’t know what the hell you’re thinking, but why don’t you stop worrying other people?”
“Do not worry. Because I want to stop fighting so recklessly there. You all know that there was nothing you can do about it.”
When Jaehyun spoke smirkingly, Hella barely held back the urge to stomp on Jaehyun’s feet.
Jaehyun had a relaxed expression, whether he was aware of her anger or not.
“By the way, the person in charge of the fourth trial… I didn’t expect such a great being to be so close.”
Jaehyun looked around and said.
He was walking along the edge of the sea with Hella. They had just arrived in Busan for their fourth ordeal.
It was because he had heard that he could meet ‘him’ who was in charge of the fourth ordeal here.
Hella lightly shook her head with her hands behind her back. The eyes were half-closed.
No matter how much the magic of cognitive error was used, it was still a pretty face, so I could feel the glances around me.
Hella was unconcerned.
“It is not necessarily only here that you can meet him. His realm is all over the seas of Midgard. You can call him anywhere.
Of course… although some conditions are required.”
Hella’s words were somehow insidious, so Jaehyun poked her side with his elbow.
Also, this time, what kind of troublesome ordeal to throw in and tell me to overcome…
It was because I already felt like my head was spinning.
“oh! really!”
Hella was furious. But Jaehyun was still smirking.
“sorry. My arm slipped.”
“Ha….”
After walking for a long time, he reached the beach and arrived at the pier.
Geeeeeeing…!
I felt a strange energy from somewhere.
with him.
A voice of an unknown gender, which I had never heard before, began to be heard in my ears.
[The adversary… To this place… Open the road to the sea and come here…!]
[Because the fourth trial is prepared here.]
The mysterious voice had said so.
Jaehyun smiled.
‘It’s the same as the great ruins of the second trial. It’s a structure that doesn’t open unless certain conditions are met.’
At the same time as Jaehyun thought, a huge spray of water appeared in front of his feet.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
It was so loud it almost equaled the sound of thunder.
Magical energy pulsates from the depths of the sea and spreads out in a blue color. The waves collide with each other and create noise.
Shaaaaaa!
“Open the way to the sea… La. Something more enigmatic has come.”
When Jaehyun muttered that, Hella nodded with a sad expression on her face. He even raised his chin slightly as if showing off to Jaehyun.
“is it so! Even you wouldn’t be able to pass easily here. that’s an ordeal So far, this and that has worked, but…”
However, Jaehyun walked slowly towards the sea without even paying attention.
He murmured and lightly released his mana.
“The road to the sea… Then this guy will work.”
Jaehyun smiled.
Hella’s fine brow wrinkled again.
Eventually, she had no choice but to watch the situation unfold in a completely different direction than she had imagined.
―Use the artifact 《Essence of the Sea》.
―The level of the user is high! You can control water attribute magic as you wish.
Jaehyun smiled.
As a result of searching the area a little while ago by detecting magical power, I already figured out that there is a sub-space below that leads to ‘him’ who is in charge of the fourth ordeal.
However, the problem was that the process to reach that point took quite a long time. His colleagues also told him to come back soon…
Jaehyun also didn’t want to spend a long time on the ordeal anymore, so he brought out the best move he had.
It is the essence of the sea.
It was stolen from the former master.
I’m sorry!!
As if water has viscosity, they clump together and begin to build a false wall.
Then, Jaehyun was able to truly experience the miracle of Moses.
The sea opened for him, and the sacred altar he had hidden beneath it was revealed.
It must be some sort of transmission portal.
Jaehyun smiled lightly at the system designed to be easy to understand.
“…You become more impudent every time I see you, so I’m not even angry anymore.”
“Then laugh. You should smile when you see your handsome face. Why are you angry?”
Jaehyun headed to the depths of the sea with Hella shaking her head.
He soon reached the altar, followed by the familiar sound of the system.
―…Please prove that you are the enemy…
“It only takes a drop of blood, right? Come on, eat quickly and guide me to sub-space. Because I am a busy person.”
He lightly fed blood with the mana blade made by Jaehyun. The altar responds, and the sound of the system resonates gently in your ears.
It was a similar feeling to when I used Urd’s mirror in the past.
―Adversary recognition complete.
―Guide the adversary to the fourth ordeal 《The Trial of the Midgard Serpent》.
At that moment, Jaehyun clearly felt the moment he closed and opened his eyes. Before I knew it, the water rose again and swallowed Jaehyun’s whole body.
Jaehyun used the essence of the sea and quickly reached the sea level.
Following.
Shaaaaa.
With a sound, I felt something rising over the sea.
Jaehyun intuitively sensed that it was not a water column, and was once again surprised by how unusual the size was.
‘This is another ignorantly large…’
[Finally, we’ve reached this place. Adversary.]
Subsequently, the snake’s language, which sounded far more cunning than the others’, was replaced by human speech in Jaehyun’s ears.
The scenery standing in the middle of the sea changed in an instant, and then it was transformed into a flat land.
Apparently, the host of the fourth ordeal seemed to be quite a conversationalist. If you look at how they take care of themselves from the beginning and move them to the place.
[This might be better for you, a half-human, to talk about. First of all, I will introduce myself.]
Jormungand flicked his tongue.
[I am Jormungand. It’s a Midgard serpent and one of the bloody Loki’s children.]
Jaehyun narrowed his eyes. what? One of your children’s children…?
At those words, he didn’t even think that he shouldn’t do it in the first meeting, and he did it without even realizing it.
“…Is that a gag?”
[…No.]
At Jaehyun’s words, Jormungandr twisted his body as if he was very embarrassed.
What the hell is this…
Jormungandr, a serpent described as one of the strongest in mythology… a guy who makes such a silly gag?
Even the problem was that it was a gag with a different resolution from Mimir.
‘That old man didn’t know shame, so he was at least able to listen… What if he gets embarrassed after doing this…’
Jaehyun started the fourth ordeal in a situation where he could neither laugh nor cry.
But then.
Hella’s shoulder next to her suddenly trembled.
what?
“Hella, why are you shaking so much…”
“Ah, great. oh sorry It’s a gag I haven’t heard in a while, so I don’t know.”
“…Your taste is a bit peculiar. A dog-like gag like that…”
[Oh! Dog-like gag?! Great! I’ll write it down in my humor book #33 right now.]
Jormungand was delighted.
Jaehyun was now in a frenzy.
