Episode 399 Ruina (1)
There are many types of transmission magic in the nine worlds, but among them, Dyne Teleport is the most outstanding and high-level magic.
Basically, it is very difficult to transmit people by specifying coordinates, but in addition to that, the number of people increases?
Naturally, this is because a high-level understanding of arithmetic expressions is required.
Those who can do this are very few among those who use magic. At least in the human world, Midgard, it was nowhere to be found.
That’s why everyone simplified the process of calculating complex formulas and coordinates by using the medium of ‘transmitting stones’.
However, there is a girl who evacuated Jaehyun from Tyr and Thor by casting this magic.
A familiar face that I can even feel longing for. An elf who broke away from being a girl and became a pretty cool woman. It was Louisa.
Jaehyun had a smile on his face.
“…You must have not listened to my advice in vain. Louisa.”
“of course! These are the last words Seo Bang-nim left!”
“…… West?”
I heard Kim Yoo-jung’s booming voice, and she briefly entered the world of deep images.
I heard from Seina. Elf world. There is a woman in Alfheim who called Jaehyun ‘Seobangnim’.
I hadn’t yet seen the reality, so
I thought so.
“You are also a bad guy.”
After a while, a snarky curse came out of her mouth.
But I don’t know if I know that kind of heart. Jaehyun tilted his head and only greeted Ruina when he met again.
“In the meantime, how? How have you been?”
“sure. 10,000 years… It was a very long time, but somehow I managed to persevere despite being lonely. Did I do well?”
“okay. what.”
Jaehyun scratched the bridge of his nose as if embarrassed.
“Good job. You’ve been through a lot.”
while saying so.
From somewhere, the voices of others began to be heard.
“oh! Is that the husband of Louisa-sama you mentioned before?”
“wow! I guess it’s true! Louisa-sama’s face is red!”
“Ehehe. You have been looking forward to it for so long!”
The teasing tone of voices. But Louisa affirmed as if it were natural.
“then! This is the groom I was talking about.”
“What about these kids?”
Jaehyun asked while looking at the elves who were young even though they pretended to surround him. Ruina replied with a small smile.
“They are the survivors of that day.”
“Survivors?”
“yes.”
After saying that, Ruina asked the children to move away because she needed to talk for a while. Frey and Kim Yu-jeong and Jae-hyeon walked slowly to Ruina’s terrace.
Upon arrival, Ruina began to tell what had happened.
“At first, it was difficult to live alone. Jaehyun-nim has to live… He said that, but even that was too much for me. Jaehyun-nim probably knows very well that being alone is a scary thing.”
“…okay.”
“In the midst of that… I was able to discover the hiding place of the elves who had fled and sheltered first during the war.
Even though it wasn’t Alfheim… I thought I could start all over again here.”
Louisa said that the place where Jaehyun and her friends were transferred was not Alfheim, but Vanaheim, and that it was a hidden ruin nearby.
A place whose exact location is unknown because of a special barrier.
Jaehyun nodded.
“So… as I said, you were holding out while protecting your people until I defeated Odin.”
“That’s it. how is it? Is it like a wise mother?”
“…….”
Kim Yoo-jung remained silent. It was the moment when Frey noticed and his mouth was itching. He looked like he wanted to ask something, but his face looked like he was afraid that if he did, this place would turn into a grave.
Jaehyun expressed his sincere gratitude to Ruina.
“Luna. Anyway, thanks to you, I barely survived. If it wasn’t for you, I would have overdone there again. Maybe they’re all dead.”
“I know. So, marry me here later…”
“You are 10,000 years old, do you still come out like that? The elves are all handsome and tall. Why are you only doing this to me?”
Jaehyun kept ignoring him, but in the end, he had no choice but to say so.
Ruina laughed softly again.
“Those people are not Jaehyun. Well, it seems that there are a lot of people around me who have romantic feelings, but… It’s like the fate of a person with ability, so I understand.”
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about anymore.”
Jaehyun shook his head.
Kim Yoo-jung suddenly asked Ruina.
“Did you say Ruina…? My name is Yoojung Kim. As you can see, I am helping Min Jae-hyun.”
“nice to meet you. Yoojung.”
Ruina and Kim Yoo-jung briefly exchanged greetings, and Frey quietly raised his hand from behind to reveal his name.
He was as quiet as when he first met Jaehyun, but he didn’t seem to want to show his frivolous tone to others.
Wouldn’t it be better to reveal it rather than hide it like that?
The thought came to my throat, but I barely held it in. Perhaps, to God, face is more important than I thought.
Haha, Jormungandr is a strange case. None of the other gods were frivolous. There were some warlike ones, but it was probably just a level of intimidation and awe.
Jae-hyun owns the whole volume of the humor book with Jormungandr, who was flicking his wicked tongue after publishing the 40th humor book.
He trembled for a moment, recalling the more terrifying figure of Hela.
After a while. Jaehyun changed the topic moderately and said.
“Ruina, I will ask you the most important question first. Why the hell were you there?”
“It’s because I heard that Jaehyun-nim started moving slowly.”
“…what? where?”
Does Ruina have any information?
The one who did not belong to the anti-Aesir coalition was Ruina. She was always a variable by representation.
However, Jaehyun was completely convinced by the answer that followed.
“Yggdrasil told me. Jaehyun is here.”
“Yggdrasil?”
“yes. Elves are friendly with spirit trees. There is even a story that Yggdrasil was the first to conceive an elf.”
are you right If that’s the case, I understand.
Yggdrasil is basically a world tree.
It was a tree no different from the mother of elves.
Therefore, Yggdrasil’s influence must have played a role in the ability of those hiding in closed places to move around and collect information.
Jaehyun was Joo Eok and was.
“Even if you don’t, I was thinking of finding you. I want to ask you for help.”
“I know.”
Louisa smiled as if she knew from the beginning. bright smile.
For some reason, my heart broke a little. How much effort did she have to practice for 10,000 years to practice that smile? That thought came to me all of a sudden.
Jaehyun knows. Even with empty words, she couldn’t say that she had an easy life.
No matter how strong the spirit of the elf was, even if the sense of time was different from that of other races, this was the same.
Recalling the face that shimmered in front of his eyes when he was still young, Jaehyun smiled warmly.
“You have suffered. Louisa.”
Because of that, Jaehyun had no choice but to say that. And with all my heart, I begged her.
“You already know. Again… War is coming. And… I’m here to end this war once and for all. I need your help here.”
In response to Jaehyun’s words, Ruina responded by tapping her chest as if she were rather excited. Of course, compared to his confident attitude, he still had a little bit of that of a child.
“Do not worry! I’m not the old Louisa either! Actually, I’m not as good as Jaehyun, but I’ve become very strong… I probably won’t be a burden.”
In fact, the power flowing from Ruina had already passed the 3rd stage of liberation.
Even if it did not reach the level of reproduction, it was already not inferior to other gods. So, he must be fine despite the aftermath of such a big movement magic a while ago.
Jaehyun was satisfied with the realization that a new force had been added.
For him who failed to persuade Valkyrie, joining the elves now could have been a good enough second-best solution.
After talking with her, Jaehyun decided to stay here a little while to take a break.
The skills and talents of the elves here. If you don’t check things like that in advance, you won’t be able to play an active part in the war afterwards, so I thought it would be a good idea to check the training of the elves early on.
“Then let’s take care of ourselves for a few days.”
Ruina winked and gave Jaehyun a coy look.
she said casually.
“As much as you like. Would you like to use the same room?”
“That’s done.”
Jaehyun shook his head.

That night.
Jaehyun was looking around Vanaheim.
The world that was first conquered by Odin in the past.
Everything is already an unquenchable flame. In other words, the sight of Surt constantly burning with flames… was enough to shock him.
The anti-Aesir forces have spoken before.
The Aesir stole Surt’s flame and attacked Vanaheim in the past, and it almost turned the place into a sea of fire.
Jaehyun realized that those words were never lies.
the sight you see now. This was because it was not considered a land that could be revived even with empty words.
The reason the elves were able to settle down and hide here was thanks to a ruin that even the Æsir hadn’t discovered.
bruise.
Jaehyun cautiously stepped around and walked forward.
Because he felt that someone was following him.
‘He’s a strong guy.’
Jaehyun thought so and quickly activated his magic.
Then, when he drew his sword and turned around.
Ting!
“Wow. This is too dangerous.”
A familiar face appeared in front of him.
Red hair and mysteriously shining red eyes. This was the thin, handsome face he had met at the Milles School Festival in the past.
“Is it easy? adversary.”
Loki.
The head of Van Aesir, who had not appeared before his eyes for a while, suddenly appeared here.
“What are you doing here?”
“I don’t have anything else to say before that.”
He poked Jaehyun’s side with a natural smile.
Jaehyun let out a sigh as if he couldn’t do anything about it.
“I was grateful for saving Yoo-jung at that time. …shit. After all, you can’t get dirty.”
“Haha thank you. I’m the type of person who hears such stories often, so it doesn’t really hurt me!”
Loki said so in an infinitely calm tone.
However, it took only an instant for the atmosphere to change completely.
“one thing. I came to you because there is something you absolutely need to know.”
Jaehyun listened.
It seems to be a night to hear unusual stories.
