NOVEL WEB Gaiden 8. Ymir (2)
The sword of the beginning.
An artifact that existed in the ‘Red Moon Plateau', which was a field magic of past reenactment.
This is the beginning and the end of everything Odin had so longed for. It was an armament containing Ymir's essence itself.
A weapon of calamity that made the world pulsate, but was so strong that it led to war.
Hana Yi has helped bring a different peace to the present and the past.
Jaehyun thought the situation was so ironic.
The fact that the object containing Ymir's primordial power must pierce his heart.
A chain of harsh fate that has already disappeared. It seemed to revive the shackles.
‘But now fate is gone.'
With Odin, everything was reduced to ashes, and the lives of creatures in the nine worlds, including humans, were determined solely by their own present.
If you live in the present and work hard, you will pay a bigger price.
If you lose the moment and do something that deserves criticism, it's a sin.
The principle of the world has become simple, but it can be said that it has become more complicated than what was previously known.
In any case, it has become a world where you can gain as much as you put in your effort.
In addition, Jaehyun, as an adversary, also thought that such a thing was not bad.
If you develop further and make a genuine effort, you can achieve what you longed for.
Unless it's just outrageous.
After thinking about it for a while, Jaehyun calmly opened his mouth while looking at Ymir.
“Ymir. Why did you die to Odin in the first place?”
A question as an adversary.
That was enough to unsettle Ymir for a moment.
[What does that mean?]
“Don't even think about pretending. You know best what it means to wield this sword... the primordial sword, right? This is a sword that even Odin cannot wield. Even I wouldn’t have been able to grasp it if I hadn’t turned the causal law once and promised 10,000 years later.”
A cold expression and demeanor.
Jaehyun already knew everything.
Ymir.
When the heavens and the earth were opened in the past, Ymir was not defeated by Odin.
In mythology, he is said to have been killed by Odin while sleeping, but this also had an odd corner.
A guy with such a weapon and such destructive power with only shrapnel can be defeated by Odin who is not ripe at all?
This is absolutely impossible.
Even back then, before I offered my eyes to the fountain for knowledge.
That, in the end, was one.
‘Ymir was deliberately defeated for any reason. to Odin. But I don't even know why.'
So Jaehyun asks.
“Why?”
Why on earth were you killed by Odin?
A very brief moment of silence flows.
For the two transcendental beings, time no longer had any meaning.
After a long time, Ymir's mouth finally opened.
[It was free.]
Jaehyun's eyes narrowed. It was because a rather unexpected answer came back from him.
be free
For some reason, he had a slightly forlorn expression on his face.
[A bitterly cold winter has come. In this place in the past.]
“Are you talking about Ginnungagaf?”
Ginnungagap.
As soon as I mentioned the abyss, he nodded.
[I was alone. nothing i had Yeah... nothing of that. So I liked the beginning of something new. that it begins. Because it was full of life.]
“Why is that related to your death?”
[Because if I don't die, the world won't start. Adversary... don't you know? Why did the real me die, not a fragment of the present? That it was in order to create the world.]
“So you killed Odin? Ha... Do you know how many people suffered because of that outrageous thing?”
Odin eventually sacrificed his eyes for wisdom, corrupting the world to gain greater power, creating countless war victims and ruling the nine worlds in fear.
Is it right?
No matter who you ask, you will be able to answer no.
If so, why did he do that?
because of greed
‘The greed that wants to obtain something lowly moved Odin.'
[However, that greed raised Odin to the top and eventually announced the beginning of the world. Think about it. adversary. Of course, it is true that Odin committed a sin. However, you were not always clean, and he also wanted to carve out his own world.]
“You believed in the Odin of the past.”
[You can say yes.]
Ymir was answering while completely reading Jaehyun's thoughts.
In fact, there is nothing to be surprised at.
For him at the starting point of the world, things like this wouldn't even be a problem.
However, Jaehyun also did not want to understand.
Odin's way of thinking The last thing he said when he died.
Saying you and I are the same
In the end, his story of how he tried to change his fate and that everything could have ended because Jae-hyun was the winner is still deeply embedded in Jae-hyun's heart.
But now it doesn't make any sense
Jaehyun grabbed his sword.
The original sword became smaller to fit Jaehyun's hand and assisted his movement.
The status of all status windows had already faded to the point where it was meaningless to look at them.
Perhaps he has now become a transcendentalist in the true sense of the word.
An absolute being with power that cannot be judged.
It could be said that it is a representation of the present.
Jaehyun took a step forward.
“Anyway, you're a non-existent guy. So let's do this.”
[The sea I also wished for. After finishing everything here, I also want to rest. But wouldn't I be able to give my seat to an insignificant person?]
“That's fortunate. Because I'm here, not the others. If it had been Loki, that goddamn bastard, it wouldn't have been possible.”
Taat!
Jaehyun laughed and barely made a sound as he leaped at the enemy.
The pupils of Ymir's huge body followed his speed in an instant, and a full-fledged battle began.
‘...Even if it's a fragment, is this light enough? It's fast.'
Jaehyun sighed and took a deep breath.
You need to get everything sorted out as calmly as possible and then go back.
Otherwise, things were likely to get worse.
In any case, he had a place to return to.
Jaehyun's foot accelerated explosively as soon as he heard the sound of taking a short breath.
After leaping into the air, his body breaks twice in a row in the air.
―Active skill ?Leap in the air?.
―Active skill ?Leap in the air?.
He couldn't stand still as he saw Jaehyun closing the distance to Ymir.
Aww!
Spirit It should be explained that it is just a spirit containing mana.
But what was in it was never that much.
If it had been someone other than Jaehyun, he would have been pushed back.
Truly overwhelming power.
However, Jaehyun was already beyond the limits of God.
It was not difficult to withstand such wind pressure.
Ymir's pupils followed Jaehyun's movements here and there.
The guy left one sword behind and created another spear and fired it.
I could intuit that it wasn't as good as Gungnir, but at least it was certain that it was effective.
However, Jaehyun laughed.
―Active skill 《Shadow Fairy Tale》.
A skill that intentionally drains the enemy's attack. It destroyed Ymir and led the reappearance into the enemy's blind spot at once.
Jaehyun continued to use powerful fire magic and turned the surroundings into a sea of fire.
Recently, it was a reenactment of learning Inferno, a magic name that releases a large amount of mana at once.
Like this, Jaehyun didn't just rest even when he was resting.
He has been working hard to learn new magic and swordsmanship every day and reach the extreme of the intangible sword. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
It was like a kind of occupational disease acquired after more than 10 years as a raider and close to hundreds of years as Henir, the antagonist.
It was sure to help in a time like now.
Jaehyun strengthened the hot flames with full of divinity.
[...After all, it's not just a name I got. adversary. You were able to defeat Odin because it wasn't false.]
“Sure. of course.”
Humility is a forgotten representation.
He has been fighting on the frontlines of death every day.
What saved him at such times was his thorough self-objectification and paradoxical but self-confidence.
I had to believe.
If you don't believe every moment, the sword and magic will never respond as you wish.
believe because
More than anyone else, me at this moment when my life, the fate of my close friends, and life and death were at stake.
‘[Intangible sword] 5 sets.'
Perhaps knowing that Jaehyun was preparing for the final attack, Ymir also prepared to receive the final attack.
Now all that's left is to finish everything perfectly.
Jaehyun silently gripped the sword of the beginning and it became a huge brush.
The ink-drenched sword cut through the air and collided with Ymir's ice spear.
However, the result is as if it has already been decided.
In the end, what was pushed aside was Ymir, who was nothing more than fragments.
From the beginning, it was a battle with a fixed outcome.
Jaehyun came back.
‘Intangible Sword Type 5 《Blinking Sword》.'
In an instant, the ink-colored sword that completely disappeared, reappeared and clearly crossed the two with the sword he had drawn.
It's like the time Jaehyun has stepped on.
The last countless things, five trials.
As if acknowledging everything, the sword of reenactment was finally able to completely break away from the helpless one through its own sword path.
Fight for what you want to protect.
that you can truly enjoy it.
It also hacked up Ymir's body several times, making his body no longer able to function properly.
[I lost.]
It rattled.
The giant Ymir's body is cut dozens of times.
Every time the sword, which had been soaked in ink, took one more step and slashed the enemy.
Ymir realized that his body was already breaking down.
Now is the time to step back.
Realizing that was not difficult for him either.
It was something I hadn't hoped for for a long time.
Finally, Jaehyun's sword aims at Ymir's heart and pierces it perfectly.
Ymir's blunt expression changes.
[Thank you. It gave me rest.]
Ymir, whose body had faded, smiled for the first time as he looked at Jaehyun.
Seeing that clumsy smile that doesn't even tell if it's male or female, Jaehyun wonders how he died to Odin, at least a little bit.
why is it free
I knew you said you were lonely.
If it had been a fight where there was nothing, Jaehyun wouldn't have been so desperate.
Of course, it must have been difficult to burn the will to go further.
but he is here
The highest place. A place where you are not alone.
It was a beauty like a star floating together, quite different from the midday sun.
Come to think of it, Louisa said something.
In Alfheim, the city of elves, there is a lullaby called Song of the Stars.
Jaehyun didn't even know the song and couldn't sing it. freewebnøvel.coɱ
He prayed briefly as he watched Ymir turn to ashes.
―You have acquired the Artifact 《Primary Frozen Fragment》.
A pleasing system sound was heard.
Now is the time to return to our comrades.
Jaehyun realized anew how precious it is to have a place to return to.
I wanted to see my colleagues.
