Chapter 049

After dealing with the last remaining apostates, we cleared out the noisy small fishing village.

“Tidy up there too. “Don’t scare people for no reason.”

Gunther, who cleared the scene, called his people working abroad here.

At the call of the King of Burgundy, Hagen and the Vikings came here with their own weapons.

The villagers, who still believed in the god of the apostates, were scared when they saw Hagen and the Vikings, but it was a good thing.

The purpose of calling it this way was to subdue the believers and break their faith again.

It was not something that could be solved in a day or two.

“I will do it. “We also needed a base of our own.”

It was an area too weak to be called a base.

Nevertheless, Gunther decided to stay.

“Shouldn’t someone clean up this place? The sea is our home. In the end, doesn’t the sea become one? “It looks like there are monsters around here that haven’t been cleared out yet, so it’s enough for us to stay.”

He was a generous man.

It had its own degree.

In my past life, I deserved to have so many people follow me.

“Are you really going to stay here?”

“I plan on staying for a while. Don’t the people here need help too? “There is no guarantee that those apostates will not come here again.”

I saw the village people.

An ordinary, small fishing village where most people make their living by fishing.

If we hadn’t come, the village would have been sacrificed and killed by apostates.

“Thank you so much, my benefactors. “If it weren’t for you, we would have continued to spend each day in fear of not knowing when we would die.”

Lee Chang-min approached us and repeatedly lowered his head.

In his hand held out to me, there was a white envelope.

“What is this?”

“Benefactor, this is the devotion put together by the people of our village. please accept this.”

It was an envelope containing cash.

It wasn’t that much money.

However, the money could never be considered small.

“… … .”

“It is far from enough to reward our benefactor for saving our village, but there is nothing we can give. Even this… .”

It was an expression of gratitude that had been prepared with great difficulty in order to live without one.

It wasn’t polite to refuse this.

“All right. “I will use it carefully.”

“thank you. “I hope this helps you on your future journey.”

It was time for Lee Chang-min to continue to express his gratitude to us.

“All the bodies of the apostates have been cleared away.”

Hagen, who joined the men who cleared the scene, bowed his head to Gunther and said.

“You had a hard time. “The young village chief said he has prepared a place for us to stay, so let’s go in.”

“I understand, Your Highness.”

Changmin Lee led Hagen and the Vikings to the area with the best view in the village.

“Even if I say that, I’m sure there’s still anxiety. “There will also be fear of the awakened ones.”

“Wouldn’t it be enough to show that we are different? Hahaha!”

“But didn’t Gunther say he wanted to fight?”

“It did. Even if I couldn’t go to Valhalla, I wanted to fight like crazy. That’s why I responded to your request this time. “It was quite nice to fight at sea with the mermaids while you were away.”

Gunther, who was looking at me, opened his mouth with a hollow smile.

“Following you has been an amazing experience. From apostates, Midgard’s giant dragon, and even the Abyss… .”

A sigh was mixed in his voice.

“But do you know what? That giant snake on your shoulder right now. When I was told to fight it, I felt afraid. “I trembled for the first time on the battlefield out of fear that I would never win.”

-of course. Seeing the majesty of this body would make an ordinary human shiver.

Gunther, who chuckled at Jormungand’s words, interjecting and praising himself, continued.

“But you didn’t care about that and fought. “You don’t know how embarrassed I was of myself at that time.”

“Are you planning to leave the battlefield?”

He shook his head at my words.

“no. Quite the opposite. In order to fight alongside you, I also have to grow up. “I don’t think it will be easy for me to fight alongside you now.”

Gunther’s face showed anger at his own shortcomings.

“I will be training with them until I am qualified to join you.”

I stared at Gunther like that.

He said he wasn’t good enough, but I thought differently.

Even in his previous life, Gunther was a Viking who was braver than anyone else.

A slayer who never backed down in front of his enemies and swung his axe.

The sight of them fighting like crazy on the battlefield, saying they would go to Valhalla, was still vivid in my mind.

It would be nice if he would do his best to be with me, but I didn’t bother to stop him.

‘We will deal with more gods in the future. Gunther and his Vikings will be of great help to me. but… .’

If you have already realized your limits, there is no need to force yourself.

Rather, this might be able to break through the limits he thinks.

‘It’s not like there’s no way to overcome the limit.’

A person came to mind.

Valkyrie Brünnhilde was cursed to sleep forever for rebelling against Odin.

She will make Gunther stronger.

Not only Gunther himself but also his forces.

“Are you sure you don’t need to go see Brünnhilde? As I told you last time, Brünnhilde also talked about Gunther.”

“… … .”

Brünnhilde had already sent a sign of reconciliation by returning her belt.

Now all that Gunther has to do is reply.

Gunther’s face darkened as he took out the belt from his pocket.

“Not yet… .”

If Gunther wakes up Brünnhilde, she will also be of great help to me.

The three Valkyries protecting her will naturally follow as reliable allies.

‘I decided to use anything.’

I thought to myself.

If we force Gunther now and send him to Brünnhilde, will we be able to wake her up?

‘well.’

I do not know.

Because I can’t even read Gunther’s thoughts.

Let’s take a step back.

Even if you wait slowly, Gunter will move on his own.

All I can do is show the way.

The rest was something Gunther had to discover on his own.

“All right. Then I will go first. “I have a lot of work to do.”

“Let’s go. Oh, and… .”

“Is there anything left to talk about?”

After hesitating for a while, Gunther opened his mouth.

“If I go to Brünnhilde, can I call you then?”

“You mean me?”

“But I thought it would be good if someone who has been there once would go with me.”

“of course.”

If you can get good power.

You can do anything.

* * *

After leaving the village, I sat in a nearby alley to kill time.

Seeing that, Jormungand crawled on my shoulder and asked.

-Are you not going to the city?

“There is still work left to do.”

Abyss, Azur, and the Renegades were cleared out, but the job wasn’t completely over yet.

Apostates who believed in Azur targeted this place.

They will be here soon.

Since the Abyss, which we had put so much effort into, was captured in an instant, we had no choice but to come.

“It came sooner than I thought.”

I thought to myself as I saw two luxury sedans and two vans heading toward the village.

I thought I would have to wait a day… .

Cars that had to pass exactly where I was sitting stopped as soon as they saw me.

“What are you?”

The driver asked, glaring at me blocking the road.

A red whale tail engraved on the back of my hand.

The apostates who believed in Azur were hit.

As soon as I saw these guys not even trying to hide themselves, I couldn’t help but laugh.

Does that mean you have that much confidence?

-It’s them. They dumped the body in the sea where I was.

“that’s right. “It’s their main unit.”

-Are you trying to organize it yourself?

“That’s right.”

Shouldn’t we make sure we provide after-sales service?

I’m also testing out the newly acquired weapons.

“You guys believe in the gods of this world, right? “The village behind there is our destination.”

They didn’t say it for long, but their expressions became grim as if they could sense how things were going with just that.

“You bastard!”

The driver got out of the car.

He even has a sword in his hand.

Sutlini: It is characteristic of foolish people to draw their sword first.

I woke up holding the Sea King’s trident.

“But what? “The God you believe in is now dead and won’t be able to come.”

There is no answer.

The driver’s eyes crinkled as he glared at me.

The guy’s eyes turned to the car behind him.

Rattling.

A man got out of the car behind him.

At first glance, he was an unusual man, with puffy skin under his eyes and rough skin.

I couldn’t see the seal on his face as he was wearing a mask, but I could tell just by looking at him.

This guy is the leader of the apostates who believe in Azur.

“What did you just say?”

“Is it you? “The leader of these guys.”

“I asked what you just said.”

“The god you believe in is dead.”

The guy’s face crumpled.

“How dare you blaspheme…” .”

A useless thought occurred to me: Is the word blasphemy appropriate for apostates?

And then, the masked person who looked like the leader clapped, and people got out of the car.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”

Even at a glance, the distorted appearance of the men with their entire bodies bulging out was not normal.

I knew these things well.

‘Dolls of apostates.’

These are beings who were once human, but whose bodies were damaged in the process of undergoing a procedure that turned them into apostates.

Like apostates, they grow roundworms in their bodies, but the roundworms deteriorate and eat their brains, and only their bodies grow large and their egos disappear.

‘I expected it to be there, but… .’

There were more than I expected.

“The parasites have been gaining ground for quite some time.”

The man’s face distorted at the words he spoke while holding the spear.

“Kill that bastard who blasphemed first.”

The monsters came running towards me at the masked man’s command.

The Sea King’s trident struck the head of the leading doll.

Suddenly!

It was a clean and concise blow.

The eyes of the guys standing behind changed.

“You can’t just trust these monsters and install them, right?”

The strength of the spear lies in its long reach and destructive power that pierces one point.

I skillfully swung my spear, blocking the monsters’ approach and ruthlessly smashing their necks and legs.

Swish! puck! Sigh!

‘It’s worth using as expected.’

It was worthy of the name Sea King’s Trident, as it moved freely, lightly yet heavily, as desired.

A weapon requires a certain level of skill to move as desired.

“Big, big… !”

Every time the trident flashed, it swallowed up the monsters in front of it.

Every time you kill those who were once human but turned into monsters due to wrong beliefs, the air around you changes.

Clear hostility was directed at me.

I saw the face of the captain who ordered me to be killed distorted.

And the flow of mana began to distort around him.

-be careful. It’s magic.

I heard Jormungand’s voice in my head.

Instead of answering, I burst into the doll’s face swinging its claws at me.

“Everyone say a prayer.”

At the masked man’s words, the other apostates spread their arms and closed their eyes.

I could feel the unpleasant mana in their bodies heading towards the masked person.

The distortion of mana became more and more severe, and a dark flame began to burn around the masked person.

It was an unusual technology at first glance, but… .

“Jormungand.”

-I get it.

At my words, Jormungand, who was much larger than the anaconda, dealt with the dolls around me.

At the same time, I kicked the ground and flew towards the masked person at the center of the magic.

No one could react.

Because no one would have thought that this small snake on its shoulder was a giant dragon that once wrapped around the world.

Phew!

While Jormungandr’s poison poisoned the unpleasant doll, I swung my spear at the Masked Man.

“You son of a bitch!”

The guy stretched out his hand, and the unpleasant mana that had not yet been collected was directed at me.

[Skill: Protection of the ocean current]

[Effect: Spews an ocean current and creates a strong shield that protects a 3m radius.]

The Sea Current Shield, which became stronger due to the effect of the Sea King’s Trident, which strengthens water-related skills, blocked its attack.

“this!”

The guy’s eyes widened, as if he didn’t expect his attack to be blocked.

The masked man snapped his fingers.

Sigh!

As its body disappeared, it swapped places with another apostate.

Phew!

The trident pierced the neck of the apostate whose position had changed.

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

The apostate whose position had changed fell down with blood foaming.

“This bastard… .”

Sacrificing someone else’s life for your own survival?

Like this?

I glared at the masked person who had changed his position.

I didn’t like it.

That existence itself was disgusting.

“You are disgusting to the end.”

It was then.

Sure.

The space became distorted, and a blond-haired boy walked out of the distorted space.

“You were here? “I was looking for you.”

It was Loki, the god of mischief.
