Episode 385: The Broken Wall
A hand pierced through Heimdall’s chest.
The owner’s true identity made everyone silent for a moment.
“Hoogin…!”
Hel gritted his teeth and called his name.
Hugin. Aside from why Odin’s raven was here, the current situation was completely incomprehensible to them.
Why did Odin’s raven kill Heimdall, who was on the same side?
Could there be an infighting in Asgard?
There was nothing to know.
It’s hard to understand, but it’s important to focus on what’s happening right now.
If we don’t get even the slightest bit of information, we won’t be able to gain an advantage in the future war against Asgard.
“What are you doing? Hugin? Were you not Odin’s raven?”
“That’s right. I am Odin’s raven.”
At that moment, Hella felt an extreme sense of incompatibility. It was because Hugin’s attitude toward Odin felt excessively disrespectful.
He is clearly Odin’s crow. Didn’t you always refer to him as ‘Odin-sama’?
But why now
Do you feel an unknown sense of incongruity in his actions?
She could intuitively realize that the case was taking a new turn.
“Everyone back down!”
Hela reflexively shouted, and Hel immediately created a barrier to trap them.
“What are you planning to do?! Hugin!”
However, Hugin shrugged and raised his hand.
“Do not worry. I have no intention of killing you. I just want to use it forever.”
“Use…?”
Hel’s sparse voice followed Hugin’s cold sneer.
“That’s right. Just as you did to the adversary, I am only using you. By necessity and you have done your part well now.
It wasn’t perfect… but it wasn’t bad.”
Hougin said that and put his hand on the fallen Heimdall’s head.
Even at that moment, Heimdall, who had not completely stopped breathing, gritted his teeth and muttered,
“Yes… you dare… challenge the authority of the god of Asgard…!”
“Heimdall.”
Frost settled down at Hugin’s cool voice.
He sneered and deliberately let magic flow into his outstretched hand.
“For a story, there is a character who must leave. Of course, there are those who survive until the end…”
“What… what!”
“That is not you.”
At the same time, the power that came out of Hugin’s hand slowly began to take away the energy that filled Heimdall’s body.
Hell was shocked.
“How the hell… that’s… usurpation of divinity!?”
divinity usurpation.
It originally belonged to Loki, but was passed down to Jaehyun, a power like a sacred fire. A skill with an awe-inspiring power that steals the power of a god and raises one’s abilities.
Why does Odin’s raven have it?
‘Hell is right. That skill is… It’s definitely the divine usurpation that Jaehyun is using. But how is that possible?’
Kwon So-yul thought the same and looked at Hugin with a shocked expression.
Is he no longer on Odin’s side?
However, it is definitely not a person who can be trusted as an ally.
Who the hell was the person who drove Jaehyun to his death before returning?
It’s Hugin.
The crow in front of him killed Jae-hyeon, so he returned.
But you’re going to come and stab Odin in the back?
why?
“It is too early to tell you everything. But now they are not enemies. There is still work for you to do.”
Hugin continued.
“Because you are still the necessary characters for this story.”
After saying that, Hugin’s body shuddered like a haze and then disappeared. It happened so quickly that no one could react.
It would be foolish to pursue him in this situation in the first place.
No matter how wounded he was, he cut off Heimdall’s breath at once. Not only that, but he also stole the price.
It seemed that he couldn’t take all the power as his own like Jaehyun’s original skill… but just being able to take away the power from another god was threatening enough.
Now we have to join Jaehyun and the other anti-Aesir forces to take a countermeasure.
Kim Yoo-jung bit her lips.
‘Hugin’s last words… what on earth does it mean that we still have roles left?’
It was a word that everyone was curious about, but couldn’t bear to get it out of their mouth.
At that moment, everyone thought.
Could it be that he is being consumed as a single role under the shadow of a huge black screen called Hugin and playing with it?
So, what the heck should I do now?
But there was no other way.
Accepting what was happening right now was far more important than that.
First of all,
I had to reunite with Jaehyun.
* * *
[It was a great skill. You’re the first person since Loki to reduce my stamina to this extent.]
“Ha… No matter where I do well, I’m always compared to Loki.”
Jaehyun sighed deeply and looked at Fenrir.
Isn’t Loki his father, by the way? Why is he talking badly to Loki? Doesn’t that mean a lot to the gods?
‘I’m sorry… well Hell didn’t show respect to Loki either.’
Besides, frankly and objectively, Loki was not a very respectable father.
Being imprisoned for 10,000 years is an irresistible force, but besides that, one or two minor accidents should have happened.
Isn’t it hard to find a paragraph in Norse mythology where Loki doesn’t have an accident? I thought that even if I wanted to respect it, it would not be easy to say it out of my mouth.
No one would say that his father cut the hair of Sif, Thor’s wife, or made trouble for the other gods by abusive language.
While thinking such meaningless thoughts, Fenrir suddenly opened his mouth.
[Now, you have reached a level where you can’t be pushed back even if you fight with anyone except the two gods who are in the realm of heaven and earth.] When
Jaehyun looked up and looked at him, he raised his mouth.
[Adversary, I will admit it now. You have overcome all five trials. It was fate, but it was a hellish task given to you. I… To be honest, I didn’t believe it at first.
A human being will be born into the world to become the enemy and liberate the nine worlds. I will kill Odin…
Can you believe that?]
“You wouldn’t have believed it.”
[But not right now.]
Fenrir nodded and lightly licked his shoulder to help heal the wound. Surprisingly, the wounds on his cold body slowly began to heal and soon returned to normal.
A sore on the neck will also return, even if it takes a little time. Fenrir has overwhelming restorative power compared to other gods, so it must be especially true.
“Does that mean you trust me now?”
[Um… well, it’s me. I just knew that you were a man with a will. I can see why Loki trusts you.]
“Does Loki trust me?”
Jaehyun asked that out of pure curiosity. The wolf in front nodded as if it were natural.
“It is unmistakably true that he consumed one of his own powder for the sake of not you but your comrades. would you have seen Loki is Loki, even if it is only one powder.”
“Certainly… it was nonsense.”
For a moment, Jaehyun recalled the past when he first met Loki. At that time, Loki hid his identity and fought himself under the name of Fay.
Especially at the end, I fought Sigrun together, and I almost stopped her, who had reached the 3rd stage of liberation alone until Jaehyun returned from the scheduled future.
For at least several hours, he had bound her with a piece of powder.
That, of course, means that the true body is stronger than that.
Liberation Stage 4.
Even Jaehyun, who has reached that point and feels a more fulfilled sense of godhood, still cannot confirm victory.
He is a trickster and a god who is already building a complete mythology. It was Loki.
[Loki believes in you. Maybe even more than me, my son, or Hell Jormungandr. I don’t know why because I didn’t tell you why, but haha.]
Fenrir said with a strange bitter smile.
Jaehyun shrugged.
“Thank you very much for that. Thanks to someone, I almost died several times.”
[If I had left it alone, I would have just died.]
“That seems to be the case too.”
Still, the arm seems to bend inward. Anyway, seeing my father’s advocacy.
Personal feelings should not intervene in work. Jaehyun was about to click his tongue, but held back, fearing that the wolf in front would ram his fangs into his shoulder.
Well, hey, even if Loki’s name is mentioned, he trembles, and he doesn’t even talk about Jormungandr, but Loki seems to be closest to Fenrir.
After a while, Jaehyun thinks. Suddenly, a system message popped up.
―You have cleared all of the fifth trial of the main quest 《The Trial of Fenrir》.
―You have acquired the passive skill «Red Mane of Fenrir».
―Displays skill information.
[Passive Skill]
Name: Fenrir’s red mane
Rating: EX
Like Fenrir’s red mane, you get a strong body and regenerative ability.
The speed of wound healing is maximized.
* Wounds inflicted by the attack also recover quickly.
* The further away you are from the vital point, the faster the recovery speed, and the slower the recovery speed when you are hit in an important part.
After completing the fifth trial with Fenrir, the skill given to Jaehyun was a recovery type. A skill that can be effective even during battle.
It should be able to change his battle direction more flexibly in the future.
‘Did I get roughly everything?’
Jaehyun turned around and said his last goodbye to Fenrir.
“Then I will go. My colleagues are also worried.”
[What are you worried about? He must be just going to rest.]
Fenrir laughed heartily. Then he quietly added a word.
[Then next time we meet…]
“See you on the battlefield.”
Ragnarok. Jaehyun had to get help from Fenrir.
His power was at an overwhelming level even when he expanded the scope to the whole world.
If only I could go into battle with Nidhogg and Fenrir on both sides…
‘Just thinking about it makes me proud.’
“then.”
After laughing, Jaehyun briefly opened the status window to check the party member’s physical strength. Seeing that everyone’s stamina was full, it seemed that Heimdall’s treatment was over.
‘Because I didn’t worry too much.’
I went with Hella and Hella, so what kind of worries did you have?
Jaehyun must have completed the last task. I decided to return to the academy with a satisfied smile. Because I had to plan the next one.
‘Still, things went well. Well, there won’t be a big problem…….’
Exactly two hours after thinking that, Jaehyun couldn’t help but put on a puzzled face when he heard about Hugin.
“what? Did Hugin betray Odin?”
