I Obtained a Mythic Item

Abduction 7. Fragments of the First Ice (1)

Unfortunately, Nidhogg couldn't find out who Jaehyun's bride was.

I've only heard that it hasn't been decided yet.

Anyway, like the original owner of an indecisive personality, I thought that he was procrastinating work this time too.

‘I mean, don't let the boy act too boldly!'

Poison smoke leaked out of the dragon's nostrils.

It was a habit that Nidhogg often did when he saw something he didn't like.

It was then.

Idun's harsh voice echoed through the Mist Garden.

“Ni... de... Hog...!! I told you not to poison the sacred garden!!”

[...That's... I'm so sorry.]

Nidhogg hastily apologized.

There was no other way out.

Because he had been helping Idun grow the vegetable garden for the crime of ruining the flower bed in the past.

...But is it right to be pampered like this?

Anyway, goddesses are all arbitrary.

‘It can't be helped...'

Nidhogg thought and sat down next to Jaehyun.

The huge dragon's shape passed over his head and changed into a pretty handsome face.

Idun sighed and let go of his luck.

“Sit down first. I think we should talk while we have tea.”

“thank you.”

Jaehyun said with respect.

Nidhogg was able to speak comfortably.

In the past, during Henir's days, I had run into him several times and competed with him.

However, it was a bit difficult for Idun to do that.

Jaehyun took a sip of the tea in front of him.

It was like feeling a warm feeling that I hadn't felt in the past.

Now that I've come, I'm proud of the golden apples growing taller than I am.

Idun smiled and looked at Jaehyun's gaze.

“That's the tree you grew during your ordeal. Did you grow up well?”

“okay.”

In the trial of Idun in the past, he was tasked with growing a golden apple tree.

I suffered quite a bit then.

At the end of the wait, the trees all grew and became giant trees in the last day.

If he hadn't waited, the tree wouldn't have sprouted even the tiniest seedling.

All of these ordeals were like that.

It made me constantly ruminate. He continued to help Jaehyun grow as an adversary and as a near-perfect existence.

In that sense, trials for him were nothing more than to stand against Odin.

Perhaps a suggestion of a small direction to move forward in life.

Maybe there was an ordeal for that.

‘Of course, it may be a leap.'

Jaehyun laughed.

After a moment of silence,

A boy with gray hair came with him.

Ahn Ho-yeon looked at Idun and asked.

“Idun. I heard you have to head to Niflheim to put out the remaining flames of Surtur in Vanaheim, did you find a way?”

polite question.

Idun smiled like a bright spring day.

“that's right. Adversary's friend... Was it Hoyeon? Anyway, it's as you say. We found a way! But... the hard way. I don't even want to recommend it. Henir, no, because Jaehyun has suffered for a long time. What's more burdensome here...”

“You mean now? It is new.”

Then Jaehyun jokingly interjected and laughed.

It was a pretty bright expression, but Idun was a little surprised by that.

In a situation where he could be engulfed in trouble again...

Why does he go so far for others?

‘Well, it was like that from the beginning. Ever since Henir was called... He didn't live for himself. He took care of the gold and paid no attention to expensive silk or Aegir's wine. Just... guarding. That was all.'

remember

Idun remembered his appearance as an adversary of Henir, the past Jaehyun.

I also remember the appearance of the adversary who declared that he would kill Odin.

Nastrond.

A brave man who came back alive from the cracks of hell. The same goes for warriors.

Idun couldn't help but think that he was an amazing person.

Except for one thing.

‘Looking at a woman like a stone is a bit...'

Gold is a virtue, but why are there so many people who love you?

Idun enjoys whispering love like a schoolgirl walking on a spring day.

He also quietly cheered for the love of the adversary.

But such a stupid appearance...

Idun looked at Kim Yu-jung and Seo E-na and Hella for a while, then clenched his fists.

“What are you doing? You have to explain. what am i supposed to do.”

“Oh okay. Well, first of all, the flames of Surt. A great chill to extinguish it. In other words, the source of ice itself is needed.”

“It's cold... But even though I've already used a technique that's several times stronger than the frozen ground, I'm fine. Where can I get more cold air than that......”

“Why did they tell me to come to Niflheim! The reason is here!”

Idun smiled mischievously.

It was after she calmly took a sip of tea.

“It's using the fragments of an existence that exists in Niflheim. But this is something no one can easily get away with. Also, those who are bound by the rules of the world cannot even touch it.”

discipline.

Jaehyun tapped the roof of his mouth and repeated the words lightly.

There were countless destinies and their laws that moved the world.

Of course, it is the fate that was foretold among them, and Jaehyun broke it and opened a new world.

So that all beings can live a life with an unknown future.

But the case of discipline is different.

It was still working and restraining them to some extent.

In the past, Ratatosque had said this after accidentally encountering the reenactment of the end of the Second War.

[Regulations] Disciplines are the power derived from the primordial existence that created the nine worlds while supporting the pulsating world! Momomo, you can turn everything back to nothing or replace it with a greater power!]

To put it simply, discipline is bound by the rules of the nine worlds.

In other words, it applies to all beings born according to the laws of the natural world and prevents them from escaping from them.

However, reproduction is different.

“Adversary, you are fine. For you, who have already returned to the past with the power of the three Norn sisters, the rules that move the world along with the pendulum of fate are definitely broken. To put it bluntly... it could be said that only you can do it.”

“What exactly should I do?”

“Ymir.”

Jaehyun's eyes narrowed.

I knew it. Does that name come out?

A person who cannot be left out if one thinks of an existence at the beginning of the world of rules in the beginning.

Jaehyun already expected that there would be a story about him.

Idun was calm.

“You have to meet that fragment from now on. Then use the ice crystals he has to extinguish all the flames in Vanaheim.”

Ymir.

It was a name that anyone who knew Norse mythology could not know.

Being at the beginning and end of everything. primordial giant.

‘Ymir. An existence born from the heat between Niflheim's fog and Muspelheim. Certainly, with the power he possesses, he will be able to break the law and possess even greater power. It might be possible to put out Surt's flame.'

Greung!

Poppy, who came with her, lifted her front paw as if it were.

Jaehyun nodded.

This meant that a more detailed explanation was needed.

Idun immediately followed.

“Jaehyun, as you know, Surt is the only giant with the power of a flame so powerful that he can even burn himself. Even the power of Odin, who prospered in the past, is so great that he can't touch it. However, he lost almost all his powers due to an incident.”

Jaehyun's voice sinks coldly.

“The first war. It must have been Ragnarok.”

Jaehyun said that and Seo Ina and Kim Yoojung all nodded.

Hella was adamant.

“The Ragnarok that happened in the past was a disaster itself that devours everything. If you were Henir, you would know. How tragic those times were.”

“okay.”

“...Since I also know what happened in the kingdom of Ruina and the elves...”

Seo Ina nodded in agreement.

Kim Yoo-jung sighed deeply.

“As expected, nothing ever goes easily... That Odin bastard was the problem... Huh!”

Suddenly, Kim Yoo-jung covered her mouth while talking.

Why is that?

When Jaehyun looked at her with a questionable expression, Kim Yoojung quickly turned her head away.

There seems to be a reason, but I really don't know.

It's probably not that important anyway.

But there is someone who didn't miss the timing.

It was Seoina.

‘......Now, Jaehyun has become more cautious in front of him. Yoo-jung too.'

It seemed that the date that day had changed the relationship between Jaehyun and Yoojung.

Recently, Louisa has also been messing around.

She didn't say anything, but she was a little nervous.

‘...no. Now is not the time to worry about such things.......'

Idun's story continued in front of her.

“Before Ragnarok, Odin accidentally found out that fragments of Ymir still remained in the world. So he tried to get rid of it, but failed. That's why he thought. If it's a power you can't handle, I'd rather lock it up in the open-mouthed abyss deep down there.”

It was only then that Jaehyun realized the decisive reason why he had to solve it.

Why Surtur was so powerless.

“My own barrier. In other words, go through it to Kinnungagaf, the space between Niflheim and Muspelheim, and meet the fragments of Ymir.”

“that's right.”

Ymir.

He was born with a much greater influence of the cold.

In the past, Odin needed his body as a material for the creation of the world and killed it.

Even though Odin was able to kill Ymir in an ambush, he was the only one.

Dealing with the Fragments of Ymir won't be easy.

‘That's why Idun stopped it. I know it's dangerous.'

The same goes for Surt.

But now, Jaehyun had no intention of hesitating.

Peace had finally arrived after a long struggle, and it was unacceptable to leave imperfections in the way.

Jaehyun stood up from his seat and said.

“It won't take long. Needhog. Can you lend me your back?”

“why? do you want to fly? It's annoying...”

“My barrier was almost completely broken when I fought Odin in the past. So, you don't have to go to the border between Muspelheim and Niflheim. You can’t even teleport there.”

“Oh, it’s annoying… I got it. No, wait, then you don't have to take care of the flower beds. It might not be worse than I thought.......”

“Nidhog?”

Nidhogg scratched the back of his neck with a shy smile.

He quickly took the lead and led Jaehyun's party.

“...let's go! To hit a fragment of Ymir or something!”

Of course I can't help it, but Nidoch didn't forget to whisper in a small whisper.

Anyway, it was a cute dragon.

Poppy lifted her feet, slightly jealous.

Greung!
