NOVEL WEB Abduction 7. First Ice Fragment (2)
I think it would be good to explain this story a little more about Ymir.
* * *
Ymir.
Excluding the giant Surt, who existed from the beginning, he was the first giant to be born.
Born from the combination of the hot heat of Muspelheim and the cold air of Niflheim, he was quite different from those in the myths of the world.
For example, it was the fact that he could handle the cold attribute to the limit. This is what caused Surtur to send his opponent to Niflheim and head for Ginnungagaf.
in the mythology of the past.
It is said that after Odin killed Ymir, he covered Ginnungagaf with his corpse and filled the far-off pit.
Fatigue became the soil that the minerals that boned the sea and the jewels that teeth lived.
It is said that the two pupils became the sun and the moon.
In addition, there is no doubt that everything in the nine worlds, that is, the beginning of the world, which can be called the creation of the world, was made from it.
‘The problem is that I have to fight him. It means we have to go to Kinnungagav again.'
In the first place, Ginnungagaf.
There is only one way to reach the far abyss.
First of all, just like Jaehyun did, bring back the memories of the beginning and open the barrier.
However, this method was almost made difficult by the battle with Odin.
The evil of the world that tried to change the fate of the distant star of the abyss.
It is because the door to him was closed in the process of condemning Odin.
Because of this, Jaehyun was able to use several barriers, but the abyss itself became difficult to open properly.
It just keeps it in an unstable state for a while.
It became difficult to open the gate to Ginnungagav.
‘I can open it, but if I make a mistake, I'm sure I'll get stuck there or cross a river I can't return to...'
Jaehyun shakes his head involuntarily.
No matter how much he beat Odin and was called the greatest being, even if he was enjoying the peace of the nine worlds.
Also, even if his position as an adversary was not enough to be compared with the myths of others, that and this were a different matter.
If I went into battle with Ymir this time around, the future was certain to die or go into his stomach. freewёbnoνel.com
So, before Jae-hyeon faced Ymir.
First of all, this unstable connection had to be resolved.
what should i do for him?
It was simple.
“Nidhog, fly faster. It would be faster to go by Papi.”
Take the Nidhog right away and go to the border area between Muspelheim and Niflheim with your colleagues.
In other words, the abyss of the beginning. It is heading to the vicinity of the original location of Ginnungagape.
Then, when you open the barrier, you will be able to fight Ymir in a much more stable state.
A piece of primordial ice.
For Jaehyun, who has to obtain it, this is the best.
[Hey, if that's the case, how about riding Fafnir instead?]
“You don't know how much mana you'll consume if you stay gigantic for a long time. I can't already tire the only one who can fight alongside me.”
Jaehyun answered harshly, and Nidhogg let out a sigh.
Seo Eana said while stroking the second scale on the left of the seat she was sitting on.
“......Do your best with that......”
[Oh... that's cool. It just happened that it was itchy there. As expected, the adversary's wife was you...]
“Shut up and just fly.”
Jaehyun warned Nidhogg firmly.
Kim Yoo-jung found another scale and stroked it as if she couldn't lose, but Nidhogg was frightened.
[It's dangerous there! This is the place where I was hit by Odin's spear in the past!]
“Ugh... I'm sorry...”
Kim Yoo-jung pulled out her tongue and apologized.
But it was invisible to him.
Nidhogg also thought that all of the opponent's comrades were completely insane.
For example, Ahn Ho-yeon and Lee Jae-sang were talking about the effect the dragon's scales would have later on.
For reference, Lee Jae-sang was talking through a communication tool.
-So there are dragon scales there?
“Your brother. Can I bring you one later if you need one? Do you want this to grow again...?”
- I don't know, but please!
“Then I’ll make one potion that makes Jaehyun secretly stronger…”
[Don’t negotiate with my scales!!]
Nidhogg spewed poisonous smoke as he flew through the sky.
It was the point at which the coldness of the darkness slowly spread to the vicinity as it passed the middle of Niflheim and gradually approached the Devil's Landing.
Nidhogg's venom accurately swept away and melted away the long-range sniper-type monsters below.
Dealing with the enemies below seemed to be the priority in order to head to Kinnungagaf.
Black ice trolls and twin-headed ogres.
Jaehyun pondered for a moment, then stood right on Nidhogg's back as if he couldn't help it.
After that, he lightly activated his mana.
―Active skill 《Formation of magic tools》 is activated.
―I succeeded in crafting the Artifact 《Mythic Longsword》!
Mythical Longsword.
Jaehyun held it lightly in his hand and said to Nidhogg.
“One, two, three. If you do, soar up quickly. I don't know if I'll get involved.”
[Suddenly, what does that sound like...]
When Nidhogg was about to protest something. Jaehyun raised his sword leisurely.
“One.......”
[Damn it…! I get it! You crazy guy!]
“Two.”
squeak.
As soon as the two of them were together, Jaehyun swung his sword.
behavior different from the promise.
Of course, it was a prank that he was able to do because he trusted Nidhogg's ability to fly.
one turn. I thought I could hear the sound of a sword cutting through the air.
Then, the scenery where a long line is drawn in the air is clearly visible to everyone.
A sword that has already reached the level of myth.
It lightly cut the earth and thousands of monsters, leaving an afterimage.
Only then did Jaehyun put on a satisfied expression and scattered his sword.
[Crazy... Crazy...]
Since Nidhogg had suffered something, he constantly cursed at Jaehyun.
Even in the midst of that, Hella, Kim Yoo-jung, and Seo Eana were very calm.
The same goes for Ahn Ho-yeon.
It's not like it's happened once or twice.
Hella's reaction was especially worth seeing.
“Still, it’s fortunate that the world isn’t collapsing this time.”
Nidhogg's suit exploded.
[Hella... is that fortunate?]
Hella grinned.
“of course.”
* * *
A primordial frozen fragment.
It was by far the best Ymir had.
An artifact that even Odin, who was called the loser who could cool off all the heat in the world, couldn't handle.
Because that was the ‘primitive ice fragment'.
It was the same as being able to extinguish Surt's flame.
No matter how weak Surtur is now, he was an overwhelming presence when he burned Vanaheim in the past.
A being with fire to burn himself, along with everything on earth that even Odin could not easily deal with.
That was Surt.
He was worried that he could not even extinguish such a flame.
However, if there is only this ice fragment, it can be made possible.
In addition, it was also self-evident that one of the restraints of the world called discipline could be broken.
In many ways, reproduction is inevitable.
Like that, Jaehyun and company. Nidhogg and Poppy glide down towards a certain point together.
A very deep pit created by the collision of dark ice and hot lava.
This is Kinnungagaf, which Jaehyun opened in the past.
It was its true nature.
Jaehyun looked down at him for a moment.
“It is also deep. If you fall into it, you will never come back.”
[Isn’t that obvious? Adversary... I'm thinking about what it might be like to go back now. I, Nidhogg, have not forgotten your hard work. Haven't you already done too much? Again, there is no need for you to risk your life here.]
“It’s okay.”
“But...”
Ahn Ho-yeon also seemed to want to stop Jae-hyun.
However, it is a fact that all of Jaehyun's colleagues already know that he will not listen.
Fortunately, Hella and Papi were able to go to the abyss of the beginning together.
“I also have no restraints. It is not an existence born under the laws of the world, but an existence independent of Hel's alter ego.”
“It's the same with Papi. He is the one who overcame death. Moreover, it is also connected to me through magical powers.”
“That's right.”
Hela nodded and looked back.
she was
“Do not worry. I will definitely bring you back somehow. No matter how much Jaehyun made me suffer, I don't hate him. I won't let you die...”
“Hella. Do you really have to fire a candle after talking so warmly? Look at this. Tears were about to come out, but they went back in.”
“Don’t you think Jaehyun is working too hard?”
“Isn’t there anything special? There is no one else who can do it without me. It’s better to do it now than it should be done someday anyway.”
“……On a dirty indecisive subject……”
Jaehyun, who tried hard to ignore Kim Yoojung’s whispering voice, gradually raised his mana.
Using Draupnir as a medium, he connects the roads and gradually pours a huge amount of mana into the interior to open the gate to Ginnungagav.
The slowly expanding darkness in the pitch-black darkness continued to change its shape like unformed clay, then changed into the shape of an unstable door.
Jaehyun watched this for a while.
“It looks so uneasy that it’s easy to just go in and die.”
“I mean.”
Hela was surprisingly calm, perhaps resigned.
One of the first giants.
Even though they were fragments, they couldn't believe they were going to deal with Ymir.
It is a look that can be seen because there is a deep trust between each other.
Hella and Jaehyun have already been together for a long time.
Hadn't he been fighting together before he even told his comrades about fate and the fight against Odin?
Hela already trusted Jaehyun more deeply than anyone else in the world.
‘Of course, I want him to make a quick decision by looking at other people's hearts, but... I trust Jaehyun more than anyone else... Yes, more than anyone else.'
Hella thought again and suddenly looked at Jaehyun's wide back and covered her mouth.
Both eyes contract slightly.
uh?
pounding.
I don't know why.
She felt her heart suddenly tighten as she reached the half-body level.
I've never had anything like this happen before.
‘Why do I suddenly feel like this...'
It was strange.
It's like something stabbing your chest. freёweɓnovel.com
Waves of unfamiliar emotions began to fill her in an instant.
Unaware of her feelings, Jaehyun just headed forward and stood in front of the gate before he knew it.
Then he will speak calmly.
“Shall we go? Hella.”
“......yes.”
Hella suddenly felt her heart hurt and had no choice but to answer.
