Episode 142
[You have acquired the fate of Osiris, the guide of death and resurrection.]
[Guide to Death and Resurrection – I have a record of obtaining SS rank.]
[Lost soul of the Underworld, Thor is watching you.]
[Condition achieved.]
[Linked Quest: Enter the Master of Mjolnir.]
Before the message could disappear, lightning struck Mjolnir and struck me.
It was an unavoidable fast pace.
“shit.”
As lightning struck me, I lost consciousness.
“Dojin!”
-Benefactor!
“Huh? No!”
The voices of the comrades who fought together are fading away.
And then, when I opened my eyes again in a space I had never seen before.
-It’s nice to see you again.
Thor’s spirit stood there looking at me.
-How is it? How does it feel to be alone with me in a space where there is no one?
“It’s not very good.”
There is no Gleipnir.
Hephaestus’ hammer too.
Dragon slayer too.
There was not a single weapon in existence.
And there were no those who fought with me either.
Fenrir, Jormungand, Promise, Hades, etc.
There was no sign of those who had gathered together to catch Thor.
‘That lightning.’
This is what happened after I got hit by that lightning bolt right after the message saying that the linked quest had appeared ended.
‘I said the conditions were right.’
It was a similar situation to when the thread obtained by killing Osiris was cut.
Just like I had a glimpse of my past life the other day.
It felt as if my soul had left the place and I was standing there.
[Linked Quest: Master of Mjolnir.]
[The spirit of Thor, the master of Mjolnir and the god of lightning, is watching you. Prove your worth as the new master of Mjolnir.]
[Reward: Ownership of Mjolnir]
[If you fail, Thor’s spirit will possess you.]
Thor is possessing me?
Is there such a shitty case?
Facing Thor alone, without any allies or weapons, is the worst situation I’ve ever imagined.
-Are you seeing the system message?
Thor’s voice rang in my ears.
His voice, heard in my head rather than my ears, was so unpleasant that it made my teeth grind just by listening to it.
I ignored his words and opened the message to check the skill.
There was no response.
No other messages appeared besides the one about the quest that just appeared before my eyes.
-It’s a system message… It seems that humans who awakened without receiving God’s blessing are seeing the same message.
“… … .”
-You may not know it, but our gods also see the same quests as you. It is the same even now.
Thor opened his mouth as if he was enjoying himself.
-It’s funny that the opponents in the fight to decide who will be the owner of Mjolnir are humans.
He also received the same quest.
Master of Mjolnir.
A somewhat irrational fight where the winner takes over my body.
-Isn’t it funny? A human blessed by God sees the same message as God.
Although he was speaking calmly, Thor was approaching me step by step.
“I think it would be better if you didn’t come any closer.”
-Your mind is in tangled confusion. You must be thinking of a way to defeat me even in this situation, right? You don’t have any allies or weapons.
Thor spread his arms wide.
Just as I had no weapon, he didn’t have Mjolnir either.
Thor’s mighty body disappeared as if my comrade had disappeared from me.
What remains is Thor’s soul, which has lost its physical body.
And likewise my soul fell unconscious.
A battle of souls.
‘It’s worth doing.’
It is possible.
If it’s a battle between souls.
-You’re struggling to make a last-ditch effort. Do you really think you can win? You’re only human.
“You’ll know once you try it.”
I raised my fist.
Simple boxing stance.
Thor’s expression became serious when he saw that.
-You really intend to beat me.
“I told you. You have to try to find out.”
Bare fists.
A fight where you face off without any weapons or skills.
It was Thor who rushed in first.
A heavy fist flies towards my face.
I raised my guard and twisted my body to disperse the impact as much as possible.
Phew!
Thor’s fist striking the forearm.
Kwarung!
The moment we hit each other, electricity flashed through his fist and my forearm.
Even though it was just a fist that passed by, the impact was enough to make my hands tremble.
“Tch!”
Is the power of one’s own body maintained?
Indeed, even though he had killed once, Thor was still Thor.
I twisted my body and this time I hit the guy in the side.
Thor didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping it.
I thought it was enough not to stop it.
Instead, he gave me a side kick and extended his fist to hit me in the head.
My fist hit the bastard in the side.
Krrrr!
Electricity also burst from my fist.
Thor’s body was pushed back with a shockwave.
-Cough!
Thor, who had been hit properly, stepped back, spitting out blood.
-What is this… .
Thor looked at the lightning flowing through my fist with a puzzled face.
The power of lightning flowing through my hand made my fingertips tingle and stimulated them.
“It feels good. Is this the kind of power you use every time?”
-How did you do that… … .
“I don’t know. I guess it means that I earned the right to possess Mjolnir by killing you.”
A crackling electric current enveloped my body.
-cheeky!
Thor’s body suddenly disappeared from my sight.
It would have been a speed that I would never have found normally.
‘I feel it.’
A murderous aura felt from behind.
I turned my head to the right.
A fist flying from the left rear grazed my cheek.
Chomp!
His cheek was scratched and the wound opened.
Blood spurted out, and I grabbed the outstretched hand and threw it down.
Thor’s body flew up.
Kuung!
Thor stuck in the floor.
-Cough!
Lightning struck again where he had fallen.
Despite being struck by lightning, Thor got up unharmed and ran towards me.
His fist hit my face hard, but I didn’t back down either.
Boom!
Two fists struck each other in the face.
Boom!
This time the side.
Every time their fists touched each other’s bodies, high-voltage electricity flashed, creating shock waves.
Every time I got hit, it was painful and felt like my soul was being torn apart.
But he didn’t back down.
No, I couldn’t back down.
If we lose here, everything we’ve worked so hard to achieve will be over.
So you can never lose.
The fist smashed Thor’s face into pieces.
The bastard’s nose burst out and his shattered teeth shot into the sky.
But soon things went back to normal.
This time Thor’s foot hit my shin.
I almost collapsed from the pain of my broken bones, but they soon healed again.
Tori and I fought constantly, hurting each other and regenerating with unknown powers.
Until both of them get tired and back off.
The more I fight, the more I get the feel for it.
How Thor moves.
How to use lightning effectively.
I also learned, one by one, how to fight without weapons.
However, the momentum of the fight gradually shifted towards Thor.
-Haa, haa. You’re the first one to make me feel this way. You’re doing quite well. You’re worthy of killing a god.
Compared to Thor, who had regained his composure, I was on one knee, gasping for breath.
“shit.”
I lacked experience and strength.
There was an overwhelming gap in knowledge when it came to handling the power of lightning.
At some point, Thor kept pushing me, and I was gradually put on the defensive.
– Admit it. You are incredibly strong among humans. I have never seen a human this strong. But that is all. You cannot dare kill me.
Thor approaches, revealing his divine status.
“Thor’s approval… . Yes, I did fight a little harder.”
I got up staggering.
End it all with one last shot.
I have to somehow leave a fatal wound on the guy.
‘It’ll be over in the time it takes for the guy to fall and recover.’
I can give you at least one leg.
It’s a fight in consciousness anyway.
Even if one of my legs is lost, I will regenerate it.
He took up his stance for the final blow.
The boxing stance I took when I first fought him.
Thor glared at me and slowly approached me.
-You still believe you will win.
“Yeah. You can win.”
Electricity boils through my body.
Thor gathered all the lightning power he possessed into his fist.
‘different.’
The feeling I got when I clenched my fist was different from any lightning I’d ever felt before.
A right hook aimed at the bastard’s chin.
Strength enters the outstretched fist.
His side was broken by Thor’s foot.
“Cough!”
My fist also sank sharply into the bastard’s jaw.
-Ugh!
The moment it happened, lightning struck.
Kwarrung!
It was a lightning bolt of a different level of power than anything that had struck before.
-Kkaaaak!!!
Thor groaned in pain after being struck by lightning.
-What, what is this…!
He looked flustered from the shock that was stronger than expected.
I could see why the lightning that struck this time was different.
In the right hand that was aimed at Thor’s chin.
“Mjolnir?”
Thor was holding his weapon, Mjolnir.
At the same time, a message appeared before my eyes.
[Linked Quest: Master of Mjolnir]
[Prove your qualifications as the new owner.]
[Mjolnir thinks of you as its new master.]
“I see.”
The quest never said anything about defeating Thor.
All he said was to prove that he was the master of Mjolnir.
My job was not to defeat Thor, but to prove that I was worthy of inheriting the power of Mjolnir.
I fought a battle similar to that of the god Thor with a human soul, and for that alone, Mjolnir eventually acknowledged me.
-What is this…?
“Haa, haa… I think I won.”
-Stop. Mjolnir is my weapon. It belongs to me. Why would you…!
Thor was speechless.
I swung my hammer lightly, and lightning struck the space where he had been standing.
-Kyaaaaak!
Thor’s soul disappeared with a scream that was painful to hear.
When even the slightest movement was no longer felt, Mjolnir began to tremble.
Electricity from Mjolnir flowed through my body, and a tingling electricity exploded loudly, lighting up my entire body.
and.
“Huh!”
The world has changed.
“Dojin!”
-Are you okay?
“You suddenly fainted.”
“Mr. Dojin!”
Athena, Lee Soo-yeon, Fenrir, and Promise are looking down at me.
“How long was I down?”
“You were unconscious for a whole day. What happened?”
I got up from my seat, touched my throbbing hair, and looked down at my right arm.
And there it is.
[Dealt with Thor, the God of Lightning.]
[As a reward, the skill of ‘Master of Mjolnir’ will be engraved in the history book.]
[Master of Mjolnir – SSS-Class]
[Description: Owns Mjolnir.]
[Effect: This skill is not included in the skill list.]
Thor’s hammer, Mjolnir, was in his grasp.
“This is….”
“It definitely wasn’t there until just now.”
“It’s magic! Magic!”
I saw Mjolnir.
[Mjolnir – Holy Relic]
[Description 1: The legacy of Thor, the god of lightning, the world’s greatest weapon that can control lightning and split the ground]
[Explanation 2: Some abilities are sealed.]
Even without looking at the system window, I felt like I could tell how strong the power contained in this hammer was and what skills it had.
Because I felt it many times while fighting Thor in fantasy.
‘Thor is dead and Mjolnir is in my hands.’
Odin would be angry if he found out.
