Episode 143 Last Question
―Do you want to copy the passive skill 《The Power of Thunder God》?
“okay.”
As Jaehyun’s horse landed, the blank card he was holding was dyed with pure white light.
Brilliant and transparent light slowly began to seep into the card, and the color of the card gradually began to change.
Originally, the appearance of the blank card is a white background with a gold frame decoration.
However, the color of the card that copied the Thunder God’s power was clearly black.
―The special effect of 《Odin’s Lost Eye》 blooms.
―You can copy a skill that is one level higher than the original skill.
―However, the penalty for using the skill will be fully borne by the user (please refrain from using the skill without having the full dignity).
―You succeeded in copying the passive skill «The Power of Thunder God».
―Displays acquired skill information.
[Passive Skill]
Name: Thunder God’s Power
Rating: Myth (New)
Stats: –
Contained the lightning of Thunder God Thor. The efficiency and power of Brain attribute skills increase rapidly.
1. The damage of brain property skills is added by 300%.
2. The efficiency of brain attribute skills increases by 50%.
3. It is a skill that can switch the on/off state.
*caution! It is an excessively high-grade skill compared to the user’s level. The skill cannot last long, and if it is violated, the body organs will be permanently damaged.
Jaehyun smiled lightly and Hella frowned and shouted.
“What are you doing now! God’s skill is still too much for you to handle! What on earth are you going to do by copying a skill you can’t use right away?”
“You just have to grow fast enough to handle it. You will help too.”
It was a story that could feel like an irrelevant word.
However, looking back on Jaehyun’s usual behavior, it was also something that could not be overlooked.
Meanwhile, immediately after copying the skill. Thor’s attack accurately hit Hrungnir.
Quaang!
Hrungnir’s stone heart was shattered with a huge explosion.
Hrungnir’s body thumped a few times and then stopped moving.
“Father…”
Smir’s resigned little whisper came.
Jaehyun contemplated the death of Hrungnir with a detached expression.
Silence flows for a while. Jaehyun added briefly while looking at the dead giant.
“This is the best tribute I can do. …… I will keep my promise.”
Jaehyun turned around. Soon after, the sound of the system sounded.
―You have finished replaying all of your last memories.
―It goes back allegorically.
* * *
A wall of darkness and flickering light blocked the familiar son-in-law.
Reappearance was able to go through this and come back as a metaphor.
At the entrance of the ruins, as at the beginning, Smir stood tall.
The sense of intimidation that comes from its gigantic size. But why?
What makes those heavy shoulders look lonely?
“Did you see the memories?”
Smir spoke first. Jaehyun replied in a quiet voice.
“……yes.”
“This is the last ordeal. I will ask you a question. Are you ready?”
“Sure.”
Smir hesitated for a moment at Jaehyun’s cool answer, but it didn’t take long before he opened his mouth.
“O antagonist of the prophecy.
If you lose something precious to you, can you not be shaken?”
Jaehyun smiled lightly, clenched his fists for a moment, then opened them.
“no. I will undoubtedly be shaken. It will be sad and painful.”
Just like you, Jaehyun just swallowed these words down his throat.
Smir quietly listened to him.
Jaehyun took a deep breath and continued with a wet voice.
“But I will rise again. If you must go forward.”
Hela and Smir. The two transcendent beings looked at each other for a moment.
The deep silence that followed and the figure of Smir stroking his beard.
After a few minutes of silence. Smir muttered something like that before adding.
“Passed. antagonist of the prophecy. You are qualified to pass the second trial.”
With Smir’s permission, a translucent window appeared before Jaehyun’s eyes.
―You have cleared the second trial.
―Your level has risen by 4.
[Main Quest]
Hrungnir’s Ordeal
Hrungnir, the leader of Jotunheim, is giving you an ordeal.
Pass the three Wisdom Trials and clear the trials.
Difficulty: S+
Reward: Hrungnir’s Gift
Remaining Time: –
Failure Penalty: –
Along with the voice, the quest window Hella showed me for the first time came to mind.
The level went up by 4.
In addition, Hrungnir’s gift written as a reward.
‘It must be at least an EX level or skill.’
Just when Jaehyun thought so.
―You have obtained Hrungnir’s Gift.
―You have acquired the passive skill 《Hrungnir’s Rage》.
―Displays information on newly acquired skills.
[Passive Skill]
Name: Hrungnir’s Rage
Rating: EX
Stats: –
Doubles physical attack power and magic power when facing Valkyries.
Jaehyun’s eyes narrowed.
‘……what? Do you even have this skill?’
Of course, it wasn’t as efficient as Jaehyun’s other EX-class skills.
Hrungnir’s Rage is a skill that only takes effect when facing Aesir and Valkyrie.
It is true that it is difficult to expect the effect normally.
but. In an urgent situation like now, the story is different.
“That’s why I said that the second trial should be cleared quickly.”
Hella opened her chest and spoke confidently. For the first time, Jaehyun petted her, who had turned into a cat, thinking that she was helpful.
“Wait a minute, what is this…!”
As a demigod, Hela seemed rather shameful, but Jaehyun didn’t care.
He was in a very good mood. This was because the settlement of compensation had not yet been completed.
―You have acquired the consumption item «Giant’s Blood».
Jaehyun also checked the following items sequentially.
[Consumable items]
Name: Giant’s blood
Rating: S+
Stats: –
The blood of a giant that combines strength and wisdom.
When worn on the body, strength and wisdom stats increase rapidly.
1. Strength and Wisdom stats + 30
*This item cannot be used if the user does not have the minimum qualifications.
*Minimum Qualifications: Strength Wisdom stat 150 or higher.
‘Giant’s blood…… Although there are stat restrictions, it’s a good item.
Well, even if it’s not, I was thinking of putting some strength on it recently.’
Horsepower has already exceeded 150. The problem is that his strength stat is still less than 100 degrees.
‘Maybe because of this item, the proper grade for the second trial was S. Raising both stats to 150 is impossible without reaching S-class. It’s also difficult.’
However, there was no reason to worry deeply.
“Thank you for taking care of this and that……”
The moment Jaehyun thanked him, he heard the last sound.
―You have acquired the title 《The One Who Overcame the Second Ordeal》.
[Title item]
Name: One who overcame the second ordeal
Rating: A+
A title given to opponents who overcame the second ordeal, the ordeal of Hrungnir.
1. All giants’ affinity +50
2. All stats +20
The 20 increase in all stats is enough, but Jaehyun focused on the former.
‘In order to fight the Aesir gods later, I need to make allies. Even more so, the power of a giant was clearly seen in the battle of Hrungnir a while ago.’
If you can subdue the giants, your chances of winning the second Ragnarok will increase.
For Jaehyun, it was as important as improving his immediate stats.
“Looks like you got everything you deserve with this.”
“Are you going?”
It was Smir’s question that came unexpectedly.
A warm voice, not the same as when we first met.
Jaehyun said, putting his hands in his pockets.
“Because there’s nothing to do with these musty ruins anymore.”
“Go.”
The moment when Smir was about to close his eyes again after speaking.
Jaehyun took a step towards him and said.
“no. There was one more thing I had to do, but I forgot.”
“A thing to do?”
“He said he was sorry.”
There was no need to explain who the subject of the message was.
Jaehyun had a slightly stiff expression.
“He told me to blame you. Of course…”
That’s not what you wanted.
After adding a little bit, Jaehyun turned around and started walking toward the outside of the great ruins.
“I kept my promise.”
Jaehyun stood in front of the road heading straight outside with his last words.
After a while. The darkness devours Jaehyun’s body ravenously.
Only Smir was left alone in the empty cavity.
The entrance to the great ruins is closed and in the unknown silence that continues.
The corners of Smir’s mouth rose very slightly.
“Not even for a single day… I didn’t resent it.”
It was also not necessary to explain the subject.
* * *
When I returned to the entrance of the great ruins with darkness covering Jaehyun.
He couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
It was because the situation that was literally all over the place was waiting for reappearance.
‘crazy. They’ve already smelled it and flocked to it like this?’
Jaehyun hid himself in a nearby shelter and cast his gaze outside the great ruins for a moment. There, dozens of members of the European Union were already besieging the great ruins.
“It looks like they noticed that there are intruders in the great ruins.”
“All of them are talented. It will be difficult to get out.”
Jaehyun bit his lip at Hella’s words.
As she said, it is very difficult to sneak out of here.
In the first place, from their point of view, Jaehyun is in a position similar to that of a grave robber. The possibility of letting go smoothly is infinitely converging to zero.
Of course, it is none other than the European Union that currently has the right to capture the great ruins.
‘I heard how much he bought the strategy… I think it was at least 200 billion won.’
Jaehyun let out a sigh.
The magic power of the raiders surrounding him is at least A-class or higher.
furthermore.
‘Balack and Camilla are also here. With my current skills, it’s difficult to deal with two S-ranks alone.’
He calmly cooled his head.
How can I get out of here with minimal damage?
Jaehyun gave an answer.
‘I have to fight.’
He immediately unleashed so little magic that Ballack and the European Union didn’t even notice.
―Active skill 《Formation of magic tools》 is activated.
―You have succeeded in crafting the equipment item 《Robe of Cognitive Error – Black》.
Jaehyun put on the robe he made using his skills and gestured to Hella.
“I will take my time. I will leave the way to escape to you.”
“under. all right. I don’t want to use that method, but… I’ll signal, so please give me an opportunity to divert the enemy’s attention.”
“All right.”
Lobes of Cognitive Errors. It was an item that Jaehyun had touched at Radar Department Store the other day. It won’t last long, but at least it will confuse the enemy.
and.
‘There’s one more way to confuse it, so it’s okay.’
Jaehyun nodded and took a deep breath.
In my previous life, I always thought that I wanted to have skills even half of them.
I really never dreamed that I would be facing an S-class raider, who is said to be in the heavenly world, at such an early date.
But you have to.
‘There is no time to be late. Heimdall’s restraints have already been released.’
An irresistibly rebellious being with enormous magical power began to move. Jaehyun is the only one who can stop this.
Turbuck.
Jaehyun revealed a side of himself that he had been hiding. Of course, the robe was properly worn.
“Stop!”
At the same time, shouts in my ears.
Immediately, a bright light fell on Jaehyun’s head, and dozens of union members holding weapons aimed their swords and spears at him.
at that time. A man appeared from behind, breaking through the crowd.
“Is it you? The one who stepped into the Great Ruins?”
There was no need to explain the man’s true identity.
Ballack.
The representative of the great ruins aimed a sword at Jaehyun.
“You’d better answer politely. If you don’t want to die here.”
