Chapter 409
Episode 409 The Trickster (3)
‘Those eyes are… unmistakable. It’s similar to Odin’s, but more than that, it’s exactly the same as mine. It’s a strange thing. Didn’t this only exist for the enemies?’
While thinking about that, Jaehyun watched Loki watching his attack.
It was then.
In an instant, Loki’s model leaned forward and at the same time, a cracking sound was heard. Then, before he knew it, he felt Loki, who had moved behind him, slap his hand on his shoulder blade.
“Big!”
Jaehyun hadn’t been pushed too often in battles with gods, so his current movement was not very unexpected.
However, no matter how strong Jaehyun was, Loki was Loki.
After all, the name of the leader was not a lie, but it was indeed a flagship speed.
My head felt like it was going crazy in shock.
“Is it fast?”
“You are fast too. It’s because he’s a little slower than me.”
With that said, Loki opened his arms and drew a huge orb.
“Even one?”
“okay. just wait I will turn you into powder in a few days.”
For some reason, Jaehyun felt angry at such a low level provocation.
It was a strange sensation. It was like dealing with Kim Yoo-jung.
It was as if I was having a conversation with a friend I saw often. If you’re old friends, you often fight over trivial things, don’t you get angry because you know each other so well?
Perhaps a memory from a bar I saw some time ago.
Maybe it made me feel that way even more.
But now it didn’t matter.
Anyway, the point is that enemies are coming. According to Hel, the forces of the Aesir will come through the Gate to Midgard.
However, this process takes quite a bit of time. Bifrost isn’t that wide to transport so many troops, so it wasn’t reasonable, and Tyr, who first opened the gate, died.
Therefore, it meant that Odin had to contribute to opening the gate himself.
There is Thor, but he’s strong, but he’s not very talented at fine magic control, so it won’t help.
It would be fortunate if I didn’t ruin the gate I made.
Jaehyun had no worries, and for now, he was thinking of building up his own rank through sparring. There will be very little to be gained from the Nornir system.
I heard that other people are also working hard to grow, and the grade continues to be upgraded to S-class or higher. Yooseong is also the same.
It was enough to protect people from demonic beasts in the worst situation.
It was very encouraging. Ballack, Camilla, Moriya, and Lee Jae-shin. Radars were gradually growing.
Although not as much as growing up, they were also preparing for a fight.
The stronger the person, the more they will feel what is happening now.
Because you know best that if you don’t move, you won’t change.
And that is exactly what Jaehyun was aiming for.
He pretended to be a villain and stirred people up. They showed that their existence is not omnipotent so that they can stand up alone.
It was an honest reveal of the fact that he couldn’t do everything.
It’s a sober way, some might say.
However, this was very important. Jaehyun is a god, but he is not omnipotent as depicted in some myths.
Just one human being struggled and the result is only the present self.
Jaehyun had no intention of falling into self-confidence.
Such people are always dead. As it turns out, raiders were a risky profession. unfortunately.
‘S-class raiders. they said I’m going to do what I have to do now. Don’t worry here.’
The voices of those who had said that to him on TV seemed to come back to life. They all believed in Jaehyun.
firm trust.
It was a measure of whether or not the raiders could have each other’s backs. Being strong wasn’t all about standing tall.
can you keep Can I lean on someone when I’m having a hard time?
Radar should know better than anyone that he is also a part that must be acknowledged by being strong.
“I’m glad you seem to have realized a little bit now.”
“A word to admit that in the end I can’t go alone. Are you talking about that?”
“okay. It was great. However, I thought it was advice that could fail depending on how the person accepts it.
The time when a person’s heart is at its weakest is when something you love is broken rather than when you are in pain or in a painful moment.”
When something you love is broken.
Jaehyun repeated the words with the tip of his tongue, then straightened up again. I heard that message when I awakened my unique skill.
Come to think of it, even then, Jaehyun swore that he would never lose it again. And in the end, I was able to grow as I am now. maybe.
Also, paradoxically, they had to recognize that they needed allies. Because it can grow colleagues.
You can’t do it just by keeping it in your arms.
walking side by side.
I couldn’t explain how important it was.
Jaehyun nodded and smiled. Then, he kicked the ground again to close the distance with the enemy and thrust out his sword.
Chaeeng!
Loki lightly raised his mana just like Jaehyun did and made a white longsword. It wasn’t such a great thing to pretend to be.
But why?
Jaehyun couldn’t scratch Loki’s sword much even with the mythical longsword.
“what…!”
I couldn’t figure out where exactly what was happening in front of my eyes was coming from.
You blocked the mythical longsword you use with a weapon that looks like it’s at least C-class?
But more surprises remained. Loki grinned and swung his sword horizontally at Jaehyun. Its power was, of course, great.
Awesome!
Jaehyun looked at him with trembling pupils, noticing that his skin was completely torn.
―The special effect of the artifact 《Abyssal Armor》 is activated.
―Evade the attack of the designated target once.
The moment when Jaehyun, who activated the 1st attack evasion effect, was about to step back quickly.
Loki smiled again and whispered in his ear before he knew it.
“Where are you going to run to?”
Awesome!
Again, there was the sound of something being cut, followed by a fountain of blood. The owner was, of course, Jaehyun.
Jaehyun couldn’t hide his astonishment as he saw the bright red blood pouring from his abdomen.
‘Isn’t this bastard… really intending to kill me?’
Of course, it wouldn’t die as much as it was a subspace, but it was absurd for Jaehyun.
Loki Is this bastard really crazy?
Jaehyun thought so and quickly activated Sacrifice while using freezing magic to distance himself from the enemy.
However, Loki was completely destroying even his ensuing magic with his sword.
Broken pieces of ice fly in the air.
“I know that?”
Loki playfully opened the door and stabbed his throat with his sword.
“I can do anything you can do.”
―The winner of the first sparring is Loki Laufeisson.
At that moment, it felt as if time and space had stopped, and the system called out the winner. Jaehyun looked at him with a disappointed expression as he held the sword.
A cold sweat runs down my face.
It was Jaehyun who even dealt with Tyr lightly… but Loki was an even worse monster. I couldn’t believe it, but it was true.
‘How can you make such a move? Loki… that son of a bitch…’
Jaehyun quickly reviewed the battle from before.
However, no results were obtained. Because the battle itself ended so quickly. It was too much for him to follow Loki’s movements.
Jaehyun barely resisted the urge to hit his fist again on his cheeky smile, then looked up at Loki again. After that, I got lucky by staggering and showing off what I didn’t like.
“How on earth can I fight like you?”
At that, Loki reverse-summoned the sword as if raising a medicine.
“You can ride it.”
“…You crazy bastard.”
Jaehyun couldn’t stand it any longer and made a sudden start. The familiar nutmeg in Loki’s ears flew.
Even Loki was familiar with it, so he just folded his arms and listened to Jaehyun’s curse for a long time. He was enjoying the time to the extent that his disposition was questionable.
* * *
“So. You’re taking lessons directly from Loki, but your weapon doesn’t work? Does magic break easily?”
Hel was listening to Jaehyun’s complaints with his arms crossed.
It was because, just in time, after training, Hell met Jaehyun’s eyes as he was returning. To put it simply, it was irresistible.
It’s like being suddenly dragged into him and listening to his story
…
Hel couldn’t help but be a little embarrassed.
I had hardly ever seen the adversary so talkative.
However, when I heard the story, I found it quite interesting. Jaehyun is an awe-inspiring being who is already at the 4th stage of liberation. He was much stronger than himself.
However, it is said that Loki dealt with him with a C-class weapon.
It was impossible. something that can never happen
No matter how much Loki was a monster, there was no way he could show such a performance when the grades of items were so different.
Thanks to this, Hel was able to draw conclusions quickly.
“I think Loki used distortion magic?”
“Distortion magic?”
When Jaehyun asked, Hel nodded.
“okay. That author writes the best. It’s magic that distorts time and space and makes you feel like you’ve been through something you’ve never been through.”
“Um… Does that mean that my sparring with Loki was nothing more than an illusion he distorted and not something that actually happened?”
“That’s how it is.”
Even as he said that, Hel crossed his arms strangely.
“Still, it is strange. That magic uselessly consumes a lot of mana, so there’s no reason to bother using it. No matter how much Loki is ignorant and has a lot of magic…….”
“Isn’t that your father?”
Jaehyun, who was not seen, intervened. However, her attitude was stubborn.
“father? Are you talking about that person who ran away without saying a word for 10,000 years and is now setting up?”
“…Now that I think about it, he’s not my father.”
Jaehyun agreed. 10,000 years in a royal family where even if you leave the house for one year, you become the world’s garbage parent. How many times do you have to die and be born again?
From that point of view, Loki was trashed.
“It’s garbage.”
“that’s right. Garbage.”
The two began to contemplate together how to fight Loki while having such meaningless conversations. Rather than becoming stronger, the two of them somehow wanted to give them a shot, but no one said that.
He was just brainwashing himself that this was part of the proper training.
“Feed that scumbag… somehow!”
“yes!”
Hel and Jaehyun became close friends through Loki’s gossiping.
The overwhelming appearance he had first seen in the temple of Hel and the fear he had felt had long since disappeared.
