Episode 022
“This is the last time.”
Gunther held out the finely ground werewolf bone powder to me.
After four days of werewolf hunting, he and Hagen gathered together with me to finely grind the werewolf’s teeth and claws.
The white bone powder made like that.
“You’ve ground down all those claws and teeth, but is this really going to be a shot at Siegfried?”
“That’s right.”
“I don’t understand. “What kind of power does this powder have that can take advantage of an opening?”
His voice was full of doubt.
That’s right, this bone powder didn’t seem to have any strength on the outside.
As of now, it looks no different from ordinary bone powder.
However, because it is a material with high mana sensitivity, it is extremely effective when drawing a magic circle.
“Can’t you tell me now?”
“hmm… .”
There was a need for some sharing before committing suicide.
There isn’t much time left until Siegfried comes.
“Then just wait a moment.”
I grabbed a handful of the bone powder I had collected and scattered it on the desk to make a small magic circle with a pentagram drawn on it.
One of the ignition magic circles often used by alchemists.
It was not an attack, but an ignition magic circle used in daily life to light up the surroundings and spread warmth.
‘I’m not very versed in magic, but… .’
I knew at least how to construct a basic magic circle.
To survive without God’s blessing, one had to know many things.
Alchemy and magic circles were among them.
Because I had to avoid the trap that was targeting me with only small clues.
After completing the magic circle with bone powder, I looked at Gunther and said.
“This is why I saved this bone meal.”
“You mean you can draw a magic circle?”
“yes.”
“I still don’t understand. What value is this magic circle? .”
“The magic circle is not important. “The items that make up the magic circle are important.”
Gunther looked at me as if he still didn’t understand.
“It would be quicker to show you. Would you like to send mana to this magic circle? “It only takes a little bit.”
“That’s not difficult… .”
Gunther reached out his hand and added a little mana to the magic circle.
That moment.
It’s so scary!!
“Wow!”
A spark strong enough to startle Gunther flew from the bone, and magic was revealed.
On a magic circle slightly larger than a fist, a larger flame rose.
“This… .”
The flame took on a bright red color.
The clearer the fire, the stronger the mana flow.
Gunther, who was looking at the brightly shining red flames, looked at me and asked.
“Isn’t it no different from a magic circle made of pistek…? ?”
“you’re right. “It is much easier to obtain than Fistech, but it has comparable performance.”
“Oh, I’m thinking of using this to create a trap.”
“you’re right.”
Gunther, who was stroking his chin, nodded.
“This makes sense. It’s fun stuff. “How did you find this out?”
“That’s a secret.”
“I’m sorry. “I was rude.”
Even as Gunther spoke, he could not take his eyes off the magic circle.
“I can’t believe that a material obtained from only a C-rank monster has such a high mana conductivity… . “If the alchemists had seen it, they would have turned upside down.”
He stared at the bone fragment in admiration several times.
I left Gunter behind and approached Hagen.
“Mr. Hagen, how about one last sparring?”
“… … .”
He, who was working silently, looked up at me.
“I do sparring like a real fight. Is that okay?”
“of course.”
Rather, that is why I chose Hagen.
Because it will be an indicator of how much stronger I have become.
Before fighting Siegfried, I needed to check my current condition one last time.
“good.”
Hagen stood up.
He drew his sword, glared at me, and took a step closer.
I was on high alert.
After defeating several monsters, he roughly guessed my level and never let down his guard.
‘Hagen doesn’t let down his guard… .’
It meant that I had become strong enough to make Hagen wary.
It was so hard that I felt like I was dying, but it was rewarding as I continued to hunt more than a dozen monsters with Hrunting.
“Whoa.”
I took a deep breath.
I concentrated my mind while holding the sword of solitude and glared at Hagen.
[Entering battle.]
[The berserker state is activated.]
[Status Abnormality: Berserker – Aggressiveness increases. Attack power△, Defense power▽]
My vision wavered.
A status abnormality obtained when catching 30 werewolves.
Hagen in front of me became clearer, and everything else became a little blurry.
‘Berserker.’
Unlike other status ailments that only have debuffs, it had a significant buff effect on combat power.
Therefore, among those with related skills, there were those who intentionally shed excessive blood on the battlefield to gain the berserker effect.
‘The downside is that if you go too crazy, you won’t be able to distinguish between friends and enemies… .’
As long as my peripheral vision was slightly blurred, it was still bearable.
I slowly approached Hagen.
Hagen, who was carefully measuring the distance, faced the sword.
“Hmph!”
He gritted his teeth and swung his sword.
Kill it! Kill it!
The berserker’s seething aggression was calling out to me to quickly take down the enemy.
I had auditory hallucinations, but I shouldn’t be swayed.
The reason why I got the berserker status abnormality was because I wanted to swing, not to be swayed.
Whoa!
Hagen stabbed his sword into my chest.
As I struck back the guy’s sword, I heard a voice again.
Defense is a luxury for a warrior!
I ignored the voice piercing my ears and swung my sword.
It felt like someone was swinging my sword with me.
Much faster speed than usual.
“Ugh!”
Hagen stepped back.
A sum of several exchanges like this.
Around the time we exchanged 30 sum.
“Let’s leave it here.”
Hagen said, breathing heavily.
“You have become much stronger than when we first met. “Have you become this much stronger in the meantime?”
“That’s the way it is.”
Hagen looked at me for a moment and nodded.
“I’m counting on you.”
After sheathing my sword, I nodded and faced him.
“I am.”
* * *
“Have you prepared something to lure Siegfried?”
“That’s it. “Did you set up the magic circle properly?”
“sure.”
We have completed preparations to hunt Siegfried.
It is now time for Siegfried, known as Germany’s greatest hero, to arrive in Korea.
News that appeared 4 hours ago.
We will soon arrive at Incheon Airport.
Before Siegfried would soon arrive, it was necessary to prepare as completely as possible.
I checked the magic circle several times just in case anything happened.
‘it’s okay.’
A poisonous dance, a magic circle made from werewolf bone powder, and Hagen and Gunther.
And even insurance that you might not know hidden in your arms.
I prepared everything I could.
“Now all I have to do is wait.”
“I’m shaking. “I have killed him once, but I have never faced him alone and defeated him.”
Gunther sighed.
Even the Vikings of the world were so nervous that they were shaking.
I was also nervous.
“I will win.”
I wasn’t worried about quality.
My only worry was that Gunther might die in the process of fighting Siegfried.
Ugh!
At that time, the cell phone rang.
It was a text message from Lee Su-yeon.
I had asked her a favor while hunting werewolves.
If you ever see news that Siegfried came to Korea, please contact me.
Since we couldn’t keep checking, we asked her to do it.
I received a grumpy text message saying,
There was no reply after that.
It’s been a week and I still haven’t solved it.
I’m a little disappointed.
I ended the text message with her by replying that I understood.
“what?”
“They say Siegfried came to Korea.”
“at las… .”
* * *
Incheon International Airport.
“Whoa… .”
Siegfried took a deep breath, quelling his boiling anger.
I suppressed the urge to go to Gunteo and tear him apart right away.
I needed to know whether he really had Balmung or whether he was just bluffing to provoke himself.
“If that bastard is really hiding it, I will never kill it gracefully.”
Siegfried said, shaking his knees.
On the plane from Germany to Korea, he couldn’t sit still even for a moment.
It was a habit he developed after being killed by Hagen.
He always thought he was invincible, but because of the memory of him dying when his weakness was exploited, he was always anxious that someone might attack him from behind.
This was why he was nervous, irritable, and looked like a tyrant.
“I told you that you are a cunning person. He should have been killed then.”
“shut up. “Because I know I made a mistake too.”
Siegfried said while glaring at Kriemhild, who was scolding him.
Kriemhild is said to have taken revenge after his death.
I was grateful for the revenge, but after being resurrected, I did not like this woman who continued to pressure me by bragging about her achievements.
Aside from loving it, it was very annoying.
‘Should I kill Gunther and kill this bitch as well?’
It wasn’t a bad idea.
It was okay to tie up the brother and sister at once and kill them.
After killing all these kites, let’s go find Brunnhilde.
Considering that she is said to have abandoned Gunther and disappeared into hiding, she may be waiting for her husband just like before.
okay.
For Siegfried, the hero who overcame all her trials, to come.
‘It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a Valkyrie as a wife.’
Although her divorce history was a bit lacking, she was attractive enough to make up for it all.
As I passed through the gate at Incheon Airport, numerous people flocked to me.
“Why did you visit Korea?”
“Recently, there has been a scandal involving the Greek gods. As a Norse hero, please say something.”
“Recently, a hunter named Lee Hyeon, who is active in Korea, has been attracting attention. What does the German hero think of it?”
Annoying humans.
Although they created a civilization that was incomparably stronger than before, the power of each human being was so weak that it could not even be compared to their own.
At the same time, there were often people whose pride was so strong that they dared to rival the hero.
Every time that happened, they would beat everyone to death.
Of course, out of sight.
“Haha, I don’t know. “He’s a promising hunter, so wouldn’t he do well?”
However, his image is that of a sincere and dedicated hero who saves the country.
I didn’t necessarily want to break this image.
There is still a lot of time to fit in with human life.
Siegfried looked closely at the faces of the reporters who asked impudent questions.
‘I’ll have to get some discipline soon.’
As he was taking questions from reporters, his cell phone started ringing.
Ugh.
‘This bastard.’
Now that I had confirmed it was here, there was no reason to hesitate.
“I have urgent business to attend to, so I won’t be taking any more questions. sorry.”
He and Kriemhild passed the reporters and left the airport.
“Where are you going?”
“Gunteo is nearby. “I’m going to kill this bastard right now.”
Siegfried’s eyes were filled with anger as he felt that he had been betrayed by someone he had trusted until now.
