Episode 120
The effectiveness of the mask was clear.
[Additional effect: Words spoken while wearing a mask of illusion become illusions and can deceive the person concerned.]
The words I speak have the effect of deceiving the other person.
Thanks to this, my words clouded the judgment of not only Tyr’s guild members in front of me, but also the apostle Richard.
They believed that I was the real Loki and that what I said was true.
Just like other humans who were possessed by the Abyss of Illusion and entered the Abyss on their own.
Even though Lee Su-yeon was behind Yulia, hugging Fenrir, who had transformed into a small puppy, none of the guild members in charge of security noticed.
This too must be the power of illusion.
Of course, First Apostle Richard still looked suspiciously at me.
Although he was obediently following my words, there was distrust in his eyes.
If there was even the slightest gap, it seemed like it was going to grab me.
‘You still doubt me even after being influenced by S-class skills?’
I looked at Richard with internal admiration.
‘In the 4th Abyss Defense, he died instead of Tyr.’
Thanks to Richard staying behind and giving them time to escape and fending off the monsters that came out of the Abyss alone, Shin and the guild members who participated at the time were barely able to survive.
After losing the 4th Abyss Defense Battle, humanity lost most of the outskirts of Seoul to the monsters of the Abyss.
And among the many apostles and gods who died at that time, there was also Richard.
I still can’t forget the sight of him holding a huge shield and staying until the end to block the enemy’s attacks.
It seemed that his mental strength was as strong as his physical strength.
‘If we fight, I’ll be a troublesome opponent.’
I headed to Tyr’s Pantheon with Richard.
“… All right. Instead, if there is no problem, I would like you to take responsibility for skipping the procedure and coming in.”
I nodded at Richard’s words.
“okay. If there is no problem. “But if you find something inside, you’d better not try to hide it.”
“All right.”
After entering Tyr’s Pantheon, we followed Yulia’s guidance and headed to the place where demonic energy was felt.
And the place we arrived at was the guest room.
“It’s here. The Magi from the Abyss, no, I said that wrong. “The magic that comes from here is connected to the Abyss.”
“… … .”
Richard looked at her with incredulous eyes.
It was such a small amount of magical energy that even I felt it was so weak.
If it hadn’t been Julia who said this, I would have doubted it too.
I pointed to the place where Julia felt the magic energy.
Unlike the interior of the Pantheon, which was full of plain decorations, this was the only place where the doors were decorated with ornate decorations.
At the very least, it seemed to mean that anyone staying in this room was outside of Tyr’s rules.
“It’s the guest room. “Have any guests used this room recently?”
“… “As far as I know, there are three of you.”
“Who is it?”
“Thor, the god of lightning, Freya, the goddess of beauty, and Athena stayed in this room.”
hmm.
I quietly looked at the guest room.
Thor, Freya, Athena.
The name of Thor, the most likely suspect in injecting demonic energy into the Abyss, came up again.
I felt like I was getting a clue.
“I will go in and check it myself, so the apostle can go take care of business.”
“It happened in Tyr’s Pantheon. If you’re investigating, we need to be there too. “We can’t go back like this.”
“Are you saying you don’t trust me?”
“… … .”
Richard closed his mouth.
To him who is already seeing illusions with the power of the mask, he will only be seen as an angry Loki.
“sorry.”
“If you understand, go back to the Abyss. “I will naturally let you know when the work is done.”
Richard lowered his head and eventually took a step back.
A human being who had strong enough faith in God to become an apostle basically could not disobey God’s words.
Even if this is Tyr’s pantheon, if Tyr is not there, Loki’s word is absolute.
Although it may seem unreasonable, the boundary between gods and apostles was that clear.
That’s why the apostle received strength from the gods, and it was also the reason why I didn’t become an apostle.
“Then I will leave.”
Richard bowed his head.
thud!
The door closed and I maintained the mask of illusion until his presence disappeared into the distance.
Thinking that Richard had completely gone away, I took off the mask that covered my face, and at that moment, the images of Lee Soo-yeon and Fenrir, who had been covered by an illusion, were revealed.
“Amazing… “It does.”
-I really thought my father had appeared in person.
Suyeon Lee and Fenrir spoke in embarrassed voices.
But just one person.
“My mana fluctuated, but was it to that extent?”
Julia, who saw the world through the flow of mana, had a face that she did not understand.
“of course! “How amazing was that just now.”
-Even I, a spirit creature, was surprised, so I think Miss Julia would have been really surprised too if she had seen it.
Fenrir and Suyeon Lee’s voices as they explained things to her were excited, like those of someone watching a movie for the first time.
“Turn off local broadcasting. Yulia, where did the flow of demonic energy that shook the Abyss originate?”
“It’s here.”
The place she pointed to was a small storage closet in the corner of the guest room.
“Are you sure?”
“yes. Don’t you think Brother Dojin can feel it too?”
“I can feel it, but… .”
To me, all I could feel was a wave of demonic energy.
Even that was so faint that I couldn’t tell where the real point was.
“If possible, we need to be sure.”
I approached where she pointed.
and.
Puzzle!
“electricity… ?”
The weak electricity originating from the demon energy sparked in the air.
-It was said that only Athena, Freya, and Thor came here.
Fenrir added a word.
“I think the culprit behind this Abyss commotion might really be Thor.”
“Is that really true?”
“You’ll find out when you check.”
I stretched out my hand toward where the sparks were flying.

“… “No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange.”
Richard, who returned to the entrance to the Abyss, bit his lip.
“Why did that uncooperative Loki suddenly come to our Pantheon?”
In response to Richard’s words, Tyr’s guild member standing guard together spoke.
“Doesn’t this mean that this incident is that big?”
“… It’s not a small incident. But that does not mean that Loki, who is of the level of a god, should directly enter the pantheon of other gods in this way.”
Even when Tyr was away.
Loki suddenly appears when Tyr vacates the Pantheon to subdue the Abyss.
Coincidentally, things fit together very well.
As if it was planned from the beginning.
What if Loki was the one who awakened the Abyss in order to infiltrate Tyr’s pantheon?
It was not a problem that could simply be overlooked.
Within the Pantheon, it was no different from terrorism taking advantage of the fact that the Apostles could not refuse the words of God except under certain circumstances.
‘Why did I come out after listening to Loki?’
No matter how much he couldn’t refuse God’s words, he couldn’t return to the Abyss even if he could leave his position since he was the only one in charge.
At least he had to wait inside the Pantheon.
It was strange.
From his appearance until now.
like… .
‘As if possessed by something.’
Why were you so sure he was Loki?
The appearance was the same, and the intimidation he gave was enough to make everyone in the room collapse.
But there were no apostles near him.
Moreover, there was not even a document proving Tyr’s call.
A meticulous Tyr would have left evidence if he had asked.
“Strange.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why are we so sure it’s Loki?”
“Yeah… “Because he was Loki?”
“Besides your god-like intimidation and appearance, did you use powers that only Loki can?”
“… “I don’t think that was the case.”
Richard looked at the Pantheon.
“You come with me to Tyr’s Pantheon. “Let’s check if that person is really Loki.”
It was then.
Ugh!
“Why all the fuss?”
The Abyss opened and Tyr came out. Behind him were several apostles and guild members who entered with Lee Hyun.
The entire punitive force that had gone on an expedition returned.
When the Abyss opened, the surroundings vibrated.
“Lord Tyr! Why did you come so quickly?”
“There was a blockage during the attack, so we came back to reorganize. But why are the warriors so upset?”
“That is… . “Loki visited here, but no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it’s Loki.”
“What does that mean? “Why did Loki come here?”
Richard felt a shiver run down his spine at Tyr’s puzzled reaction.
“Didn’t Tyr say that he asked Loki to investigate the Abyss?”
“Why would I ask Loki to do that? “It is true that he is a stronger god than me, but our relationship is not that close.”
Tyr’s eyes narrowed.
“for a moment. “Could it be that Loki is in my pantheon now?”
“That’s right.”
“You bastard!”
Anger appeared on Tyr’s face.
“How dare you deceive my apostle while I am away?”
“I’m sorry, Tyr. Because we are lacking… .”
“done. What is wrong with you? If Loki decides to deceive, there is no one who will not fall for it. “It was my mistake.”
Wow!
He had a sinew on his forehead and gritted his teeth with a face that looked like he was going to hit him at any moment.
“We promised each other that we would forget about what happened during Ragnarok, but seeing as you are trying to deceive me like this, I guess the essence is the same.”
“Is there a problem?”
“Ah, Mr. Lee Hyeon. I have a favor to ask. “It looks like Loki has broken into my pantheon. Could you help me out?”
“… All right. “The subjugation of the Abyss is not over yet.”
Tyr took the lead and headed toward the Pantheon.
“Richard! “If Loki shows even the slightest will to fight, prepare to report it to your lords right away!”
“All right.”
Tyr, along with the apostle and Lee Hyun, stood in front of the guest room where Loki had entered.
bang!
“Loki! “What kind of misdeeds is this!”
Tyr held the sword in his left hand and roughly opened the door with his foot.
“… what?”
He faced Loki, who was looking at him with his legs crossed inside the guest room, as if he had been waiting.
“Why did you deceive my apostle and secretly enter my pantheon?”
“Tsk, was that because of that? I guess you heard everything from the person behind you? “Did I lie and say I asked you to do it?”
Loki, the boy with blond hair, chuckled and crossed his legs.
“What is it that makes you proud and proud now? “I don’t know if entering another god’s pantheon without permission is a serious crime, but?”
“Ha, this is why you shouldn’t talk to ignorant people. “It’s no different than saving you now.”
“what?”
Loki stood up.
And that moment.
Cooung.
Tyr and the apostles felt the pressure of the air.
The undeniable presence of God.
A being with the power to crush an opponent to death just by opposing them.
There was no doubt that it was the real Loki.
For a moment, Richard thought he was wrong in doubting him.
This can’t be happening.
Was it really Loki?
Then why… ?
Everyone present trembled under the pressure.
“Wow!”
“Don’t be arrogant when you don’t even know. Have you still not let go of your reckless personality? Even after losing one arm?”
Loki pointed to Tyr’s free right hand and grinned.
“What is this… act… . Let’s put it this way, God will be safe… Are you interested?”
“We found evidence of the culprit who forced the Abyss to run away.”
“what… Called?”
“It’s a piece of magic energy from your guest room. “I used this as a medium to explode demon energy and activate the Abyss you were managing.”
Loki dropped the weapon on Tyr’s immobile left hand and handed him a piece of stone the size of his palm.
“Well, what is that… .”
“They cleverly manipulated it to make you look like the criminal. “If I hadn’t found out beforehand, I would have falsely accused you of planning all of this.”
Loki passed by as if he had nothing more to do and saw Lee Hyeon standing behind Tyr.
“nice to meet. A human hero. “Can we talk?”
Loki grinned at Lee Hyeon.
