The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 52

Episode 052

When I returned to Seoul with Jormungand, the first thing I did was contact Suyeon Lee.

Lee Su-yeon, a witness to the myth.

She knows mythology better than anyone else, and has heard many stories of gods in her past life.

Of course, in this life, she had awakened as an eyewitness to the myth a few weeks ago, so she has not yet recorded the story of the god.

‘Those memories are all in my head.’

What was more important now was the new story she would write in the future.

The title of ink of truth and witness to myth.

Even the most skeptical god would not think that the stories she saw and recorded, which had items and occupations that proved the truth, were lies.

‘If we think about our future plans, we need to continue to act together.’

She will prove that my achievements are true.

smart.

“Mr. Dojin, are you here?”

“I contacted them right away as soon as I arrived.”

When she came home, she was carrying a large backpack.

She staggered in, carrying a backpack that seemed much larger than her body. As soon as she arrived, she sat down across from me and took out a book and a pen on the desk.

“Now, there is no time to hesitate. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for today? When Dojin said he was going alone, he made it clear. “I will tell you everything as soon as I get back.”

“Suyeon, calm down.”

“How can I calm down? How I wanted to go! It may have been just the sea, but it was said to be the place where Jormungand, the mythical snake that wrapped around the world, was located. I wanted to see it in person because I had only seen it in videos… .”

She shouted, clenching her pen and paper.

pen?

Why did you bring a ballpoint pen when you had to use the ink of truth?

“What is that ballpoint pen? “It looks unusual.”

“Oh, this? This is a ballpoint pen I made at the request of that dwarf man. “The ink of truth can be used very efficiently.”

“Was there a blueprint or something like that?”

“what… Even though I just told you the concept, you made it really well.”

It seemed like he had asked for it separately while I was in Jormungand.

She didn’t stay still either.

Certainly, if you make it into a ballpoint pen, you will be able to use Truth Ink more conveniently and efficiently.

It’s a hassle to put ink on the pen one by one.

“Well, since Mr. Do-jin came back alone, it is now your turn to tell the story.”

“All right. Let me tell you everything from one to ten. From where… .”

I told them everything, starting with the apostates and human sacrifice, being tested by Jormungand, opening the Abyss to subdue the gods of the other world and rescuing the Mermaids, the inhabitants of that world, and finishing off the remaining apostates and meeting Loki.

There was probably no need to hide it, as it would probably be on the news tomorrow at 9 o’clock. You may not know that the culprit is me.

She just needs to know.

I am the one who caused the events of Apostate, Abyss, and Jormungand on the East Coast.

Su-yeon Lee, who heard the whole story, looked at me with an admiring face.

“Is that true? “What did you just say?”

-It’s true.

Jormungand, who was listening while hiding in my arms, poked his head out and said.

“Aaaah! “A talking snake!”

-Speaking of a talking snake, the treatment is disappointing.

“Talking snake… . Now, wait a minute. Could it be that this snake… ?”

“Yes, Jormungand.”

Suyeon Lee looked at Jormungand for a long time as if she was curious.

The curiosity and desire to explore burned in her eyes. It was a natural reaction since I read almost all of her myths and admired her.

“A small snake like this is Jormungand? Obviously in mythology… .”

-You’re a cocky human female. The size can be adjusted. It just exists in a small, inconspicuous form.

“The size adjustment function… . There was such a function too, right? “It looks like a giant dragon that swept over Midgard.”

– Wow, you know something.

“Then is there any other ability that can show the greatness of the great Jormungandr?”

-It’s my ability, first of all, there’s a poison that melts it as soon as it touches it. The lightning god you know so well also died from this poison.

“Oh oh!”

She shook her head loudly, picked up a pen and started writing down one by one.

“Can’t you resist that poison?”

-Of course it’s impossible. Who can withstand a poison that kills even gods?

Jormungand began spouting stories about himself as if he were under some sort of spell.

‘I guess I get it roughly.’

This is how Sooyeon Lee captured the hearts of those proud gods and became their storyteller.

She was a born nerd and had the power to feed the truth, and her curiosity and desire to explore mythology filled the gods’ need for recognition.

“Okay, let’s talk about Jormungand later… .”

Suyeon Lee licked her lips as if she felt regretful.

Then he immediately looked at me with a pouty look on his face, as if he was a little dissatisfied.

“Hearing things like this makes me feel even more sad. It would have been really spectacular to see it from the side… .”

“Are you upset?”

“Honestly, I was a little disappointed. “I went with him when he was a lava giant.”

“haha.”

“But I know why you went alone. “Is it because I’m weak and have a job as a librarian?”

“you’re right.”

Even though it was necessary to raise Lee Soo-yeon, the reason why he had left her alone until now was because he had almost no means to protect Lee Soo-yeon.

Hunting lava giants?

That was because she was able to protect herself sufficiently with her mythical eyewitness skill, ‘space separation’.

Because the lava giant was not a being that reached the realm of gods like Azur or Jormungand.

But this time was different.

Jormungand was so strong that even the military base they went with had to be attacked separately.

‘Same goes for Azur.’

The reason he was confident that he would attack Azur directly was because Jormungand was by his side.

Since I was such a strong god that even I couldn’t guarantee victory, there was no way I could take Sooyeon Lee.

“It was true.”

“yes.”

“Then you don’t have to worry anymore.”

“yes?”

“I bought it and quit now.”

“… … .”

I looked at her blankly.

“You quit?”

“yes. I’ve found my calling, but I can’t be stuck just buying and selling. “Isn’t that right?”

“… … .”

After speaking, she pushed her backpack towards me.

“It’s a backpack filled with my own determination.”

It was full of various equipment.

Tents, camping props, magic stones, and magic auxiliary items needed for conquering the Abyss or hunting.

I really bought all sorts of things.

“You’re serious.”

“Sure. From now on, I will always be there to watch and record things in person.”

“… “There was no need for you to quit.”

“Hehe, I already did it. “I can’t go back.”

“All right. “I heard Su-yeon’s determination carefully.”

If you say that much, I have nothing more to say.

It means that she, too, has made up her mind.

Rather, it was a good thing.

Because witnessing it firsthand rather than hearing about it from me will be more helpful in awakening her power.

Su-yeon Lee, a recorder of her past life, awakened special abilities thanks to recording the stories of the gods.

The same goes for the Mythic Witness, which has the same type of ability.

The more she personally witnesses and records the story, the faster she will be able to find the opportunity for awakening.

And there is also something that needs to be said.

“Just know that this is not a joke.”

The protection skills obtained by killing Azur include the protection of the ocean currents and the existence of Jormungand.

These two will be able to act together while protecting Lee Soo-yeon.

‘But I can’t protect you forever.’

She also needed adequate stimulation so that she could do her part.

“I know. “I will try my best to help you in any way possible.”

She said, clenching her mouth shut.

I felt a strong determination.

I didn’t necessarily use the ink of truth.

He’s sincere enough to give up his stable job, so you can trust him.

“You just have to be determined.”

At that time, I heard Jormungand’s voice in my head.

-Is that woman the agent you spoke of?

‘that’s right. You protect me from anything happening.’

-I get it.

Jormungand will provide good support.

“Then, Jormungand, can you tell us a little more? “I want to see a little bit of the history created by this great mythical being.”

Suyeon Lee asked, holding up the pen again.

What can I say about her eyes?

I felt madness.

‘If we see you doing that, we might become friends soon.’

* * *

Horus has always thought of himself as the chosen one.

The son of Osiris, the god-king, the god of the dead and resurrection, and Isis, the goddess of water, birds, and the underworld.

The god of the sun, the god of the sky, and the god of revenge, succeeding the sun god Ra.

He was the world’s greatest wizard, the ruler of Egypt, the pharaoh, the avenger of injustice, and the unifier of two continents.

Although he was not the greatest god in Egypt, he was proud of himself as the most powerful god.

okay.

It was like that until I descended into this world.

If it weren’t for the unwritten rule among the Egyptian gods to take only one godly title.

It was an unwritten rule issued by Ra to monopolize the title of sun god.

When Horus descended into this world, he was stripped of most of his original godhood.

The sun god was taken by his ancestral god Ra, the air god was taken by Shuga, and the sky was taken by Nut.

Because his ancestors took on higher prestige, the remaining power of his prestige was very poor.

All that is left to him is the title of greatest wizard.

It was thanks to the mercy of the goddess Nut that it maintained its title as the firmament.

She gave up the sky and became the god of the starry night, and Horus became a mid-level god who divided the sky.

It was from then on.

I felt inferior to my own strength and developed a habit of beating myself up.

‘I am the chosen god.’

‘He is the greatest ruler of Egypt than anyone else.’

‘Why am I… I am… .’

Admiration for the sun god Ra.

Grief over one’s situation.

That made Horus what he is today.

A rebel in Egyptian mythology.

You’re a delinquent who causes trouble big and small by not only complaining about everything and other people.

However, this did not mean that Horus was lacking in ability.

Rather, Horus’ ability was superior to that of any other god of the same class, so he was able to cause such a flight.

If you look at the speed at which it cuts through the sky, it is not far behind Hermes.

As befits his title as the greatest wizard, even in all mythologies, there is no god who uses more diverse magic than him.

Horus thought his capacity was too great to be satisfied with just the title of God of the Sky.

I couldn’t admit it.

That he is treated the same as the gods who have become like that.

“The battle between you and Ares is not about life or death, but about investigating suspects who may have killed Hephaestus.”

The face of the sun god Ra was reflected beyond the image.

His face was not visible due to the light of the huge halo.

But just from his voice, I could tell he was holding back his boiling anger.

“I’m tired of forgiving you for your cruelty. “My patience has reached its limit, so this time, take care of your mistakes and atone for them.”

“grandfather! Ares is treated as a high-level god, and I am a middle-level god. He has different divine powers and is of different divinity, so how could he… .”

“So you tried to become a better god by doing nothing?”

I was angry.

Why did I become like this?

Wasn’t it because old people like you took the strength that I should have had in the first place?

He won the war against Set and later became the god of the sun and the sky.

Some revered me as the god of war, others revered me as the god of avengers.

But all those divine powers were torn away by other gods, and I lost the rightful name I deserved.

-There is nothing good about having multiple gods with one great name. The Egyptian gods, on whom the sun never sets, each have only one title.

Ra’s declaration after descending into this world was the beginning.

Everyone knew that it was Ra’s greedy declaration to monopolize the title of the sun god, but among the Egyptian gods, there was no one who could complain about his decision.

‘It’s because of you.’

But I didn’t dare say those words.

This was due to his respect and envy for his grandfather, the sun god Ra.

Now even the respect that was close to faith has faded.

“Prove that you are truly a god worthy of that title. “Then, by my authority, I will gift you with the title of God of Avengers.”

“… All right.”

Horus bowed his head.

That was the only expression he could make.

He completely hid his true feelings.

His great ambition to become the sun god.

A man who can hide his ambitions can also take revenge.

“Thank you for the grace of the sun god.”

Today again, the avenger hid the tip of his sword in his bosom.
