Episode 119
“Who are you?”
As soon as I approached, Tyr’s guild members on guard glared at me.
It was hostility towards strangers.
But that hostility quickly disappeared.
Eyes that seem to be looking at a noble being, and even a sense of awe can be felt.
A man who appeared to be a new soldier with high military discipline asked me.
“uh… ? Loki? Loki, why are you over there… .”
They recognized me as Loki as I approached the Abyss.
Loki, the god of mischief, is famous for having the most secrets.
“I came to check if you are protecting the Abyss, which has caused problems due to your poor management.”
I looked at him and smiled.
[Combination Skill: Phantom Mask – S Class]
[Effect: You can change into the appearance of one of the people you know. Voices can also be modulated.]
[Additional effect: Words spoken while wearing a mask of illusion become illusions and can deceive the person concerned.]
[Caution: Cannot be used during battle.]
The Mask of Illusion is a skill created by combining the existing Persona and illusion techniques obtained by killing illusions.
Not only did I change not only my appearance but also my voice, I was able to trick people who were under the illusion of the mask into thinking that what I was saying was an illusion.
I used this mask to disguise myself as Loki.
A god who has a relationship with Tyr, but whom you wouldn’t dare question even if he came unexpectedly.
At the same time, even if he suddenly disappears, it’s a god that can be overlooked and thought, “That’s possible.”
Thanks to his memories of his past and present lives, he knew Loki’s face and voice.
Even the facial expressions he makes, the posture he stands in, the way he speaks, everything.
‘The fact that it cannot be used during battle means that it can be used infinitely outside of battle.’
The guard, surprised by the sudden visit of God, stuttered.
“B-but I haven’t received anything. If Loki had said he was coming, he would have definitely said something… .”
okay.
Tyr managed his warriors using strict discipline.
Yesterday, when you and Lee Hyun led the punitive force into the Abyss, you would have told them to only let those who were allowed through.
But it doesn’t matter.
“I guess it wasn’t delivered well because the situation was so urgent that Seoul was being robbed. I definitely delivered it to Tyr. “I will join with personnel who will investigate the Abyss from outside.”
“Well, that is…” . excuse me… .”
“Didn’t Tyr tell you?”
“S-sorry. “Nothing has been delivered.”
“okay? So does that mean I can’t pass?”
The guard guarding the entrance nodded.
“Right. So does that mean you will take full responsibility if something goes wrong?”
“yes?”
“If the Abyss runs wild again and the situation escalates, I will need to get a memorandum from you and Tyr that they will take full responsibility. It’s been hard to get here, but what happens if you run into problems later? “What if someone else blames me?”
“Well, that…” .”
I saw the guild member standing in front of me.
Wearing only leather armor over casual clothes, he looked unskilled to be deployed in the field.
‘Was it that urgent?’
To the extent that we even have to send out these newbies?
“Or call the person in charge. “I’ll talk to him.”
“Now, just wait a moment!”
The new soldier rushed over.
“Tsk.”
I heard news that nearly half of the Tyr guild members died due to this Abyss explosion.
This is probably why Tyr formed a raid party and entered the Abyss as quickly as possible.
‘The matter has become bigger due to his own negligence, so he probably wants to finish it as quickly as possible and cover up this matter.’
It was an incident that resulted in not only property damage but also deaths.
A monster appeared in the middle of Seoul, and people recalled the disaster they had experienced in the past called Advent.
Even now, portals and online newspapers are filled with articles criticizing Tyr for failing to properly manage the Abyss.
In the community, the video about this disaster received the most recommendations and demanded Tyr be held accountable.
-If this continues, isn’t Advent really happening again?
-Don’t say anything sinister.
-There was no reason for the Abyss to explode, so why did it explode?
-Stop dragging me. Why are we being swayed by fake news that the Abyss exploded?
└Do you live in local areas?
-Tir Why hasn’t this crazy bastard been dealt with yet?
└Today, a punitive force was formed and entered the Abyss, so wait a moment;
Like other gods, Tyr, the god of war, penetrated deeply into human culture and increased his power.
Of course, like Uncle Sam’s old American war posters, he points his finger to the front and takes pictures of recruitment posters for guild members and the military.
He even filmed an advertisement for a security company and made his face known everywhere like a celebrity.
There was no one around the world who didn’t know about him, a celebrity who appeared in various fighting competitions.
Although he was the same god of war, Tyr was more famous than Ares.
The fact that he lost one of his arms to Fenrir played a role, but more than anything, he attracted the public’s attention.
‘When Tyr defeated Ares in a one-on-one match.’
At that time, all the advertisements Ares had were rushed to Tyr.
So, at that time, Ares had no choice but to appear on TV as Aphrodite’s husband in order to survive.
However, this time, stocks linked to Tyr plummeted during this period.
Like in the past when Ares was overthrown by Tyr.
‘It must be urgent.’
We have already seen the fall of a similar god once.
He must have wanted to lend a hand to the cat.
That’s probably why Lee Hyeon was included in the punitive force.
I would like to use all my strength to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
We don’t yet know the reason why the Abyss went berserk, so we’ll be busy suppressing the monsters that went berserk due to demonic energy inside the Abyss.
“Loki, I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. “My name is Tyr’s first apostle, Richard.”
A man with a deep voice approached.
He, a Latin foreigner, looked at me with a thick neck and a grim expression to match.
It was a familiar face.
There’s no way you wouldn’t know.
Because he was someone I had fought with on the battlefield many times.
He stood in front of me, speaking fluent Korean.
“I received word from the guard that there is something to investigate outside the Abyss.”
A business-like voice without any emotion.
It was the same in my past life.
“okay. I didn’t think I would get an answer just by investigating internally, so I asked Tyr himself for a favor. “I don’t think the new recruit over there knows anything?”
“sorry. “I also didn’t receive anything.”
“Then, can I go back after receiving a written pledge that you have blocked my entry?”
Everyone was silent.
No one here dared to doubt Loki’s words.
Even if you have doubts, you can’t say anything.
“Forgive my rudeness. “You are welcome to come in.”
“Then excuse me.”
Richard bowed his head politely and led the way to the Abyss.
“But who is the person behind you?”
Richard saw Julia following behind me.
“An expert in mana detection. “I will tell you the cause of the Abyss.”
“My name is Julia. “We are attending Loki.”
“… What kind of investigation are you going to conduct?”
Richard asked me in a voice that still hadn’t completely cleared his doubts.
“Are you arrogant enough to doubt God?”
“sorry.”
“The damage Tyr suffered from this incident must have been enormous. It seems like you guys are in a lot of hurry too, right? “Seeing as you have opened your hands even to me.”
“… … .”
“I heard everyone has no affection. is not it? “The one-armed person helped me a lot, but when I really needed it, I pretended not to notice.”
wingy.
It was a disparaging title that Loki used to call Tyr.
Richard kept his mouth firmly shut even when his God was called lowly.
Guided by kind Richard, we arrived in front of the Abyss.
An Abyss created when dimensions split.
A passage that connects the world where other gods live and the world where we live.
And now, I felt an ominous magical energy through the gap that had become a cradle spewing out monsters.
The concentration of demonic energy was so thick that everyone here could feel it.
The subjugated Abyss possessed unbelievable power.
“Julia.”
“Yes, Loki.”
Julia acted skillfully and took a step closer to the Abyss.
“You just need to find a place that feels awkward among the flow of magical energy in the Abyss.”
“All right.”
She closed her eyes and put her hands together as if praying.
She looked at Abyss.
My eyes were closed, but I was seeing.
I knew it was possible, so I waited a moment for her to speak.
“I found it.”
“Where is it?”
Julia pointed to a corner of the Abyss.
To our eyes, it was still the same distortion of space, but to her it would look different.
“Where does that demonic energy lead?”
“Do I have to look there?”
“of course. “I need to tell you where it leads and what you see at the end.”
“It’s over there.”
In the place Julia pointed to, there was an old-fashioned building that was completely out of place in a modern city.
“Tyr’s Pantheon?”
“… “Are you saying this is a play of our own making?”
Richard asked, glaring at Julia.
“Brother, that’s not what I meant.”
“No matter how much we are experts brought here by Loki, this is not polite.”
Richard’s voice rose.
I cut him off as he spoke with the intention of throwing her out at any moment.
“You’re cocky.”
With that one word, the air around became heavy.
The illusion of the mask that dominated the surroundings put pressure on Richard.
I added a little bit of liveliness to it.
It must have felt as if the real Loki was glaring at him, radiating murderous energy.
“What are you doing now?”
“Ro, Loki… sir?”
“This is the person I brought with me. The person who serves me. “I think insulting that woman is no different from insulting me?”
“but… Ugh! Tyr, words that insult Tyr… .”
“Let’s listen to the end. “That’s not what it means.”
Without realizing it, I felt a surge of excitement.
This is such a shameful way for an arrogant human being to dare attack God… .
‘Let’s calm down.’
Just now he was acting like he was the real Rocky.
More than just displeased, I felt insulted at the sight of an insignificant and insignificant human being raising his voice.
It was as if a fantasy had swallowed me up.
I think we need to think about this a little more.
“Keep talking.”
Julia looked at me and continued.
“I’ll have to investigate a little more, but it seems like something inside that building caused the Abyss to run wild.”
“That’s right… .”
I looked at Richard.
“Do you want to go inside and check?”
“… All right.”
It was only then that Richard answered out of breath.
“Please follow me.”
