Episode 053

After completing her exploration of Jormungand, she clicked her pen and looked at me.

“So what are you going to do now? “Who is your next target?”

“I am Horus, the god of the sky.”

“You mean Horus? “It seems unexpected.”

“Did you think you were going to catch Ares?”

“yes.”

So is Loki and Su-yeon Lee.

If only two people can predict it, it is right to postpone the attack on Ares.

‘The enemies will also be on guard to some extent.’

“If it moves as expected, won’t the opponent also prepare?”

I hid the story about the night monster.

It’s hard to explain, and there was no need to talk about it.

“Then we need information about Horus.”

“you’re right.”

I needed to compare it with the information given to me by Suyeon Lee from my previous life.

We need to know how far Horus has grown now and how much of him has not been exposed to the Nightmare.

In his previous life, he was Horus, who had barely reached the border of being a high-ranking god.

Unable to grow further, he was frustrated by being blocked by a wall, and a monster of darkness clung to him.

“For now, all I know is that he is a mid-level god, is that correct?”

Suyeon Lee nodded.

“that’s right. He is one of the few mid-level gods among Egyptian gods, and the only one among them to have visited Korea. Originally, it was a god-level ability, but Ra took the title of God of the Sun, and Shu took the title of God of Air.”

“Is that all?”

“But fortunately, the title of God of the Sky was given to Nut. “I think of myself as a debt, and because of my lowered status, I am jealous of other sun gods and have a strong sense of entitlement.”

Up until this point, I knew the story.

Because that lack of qualifications later turned Yamyeonggoe into a huge disaster.

“As the god of the sky, many of the guild members have sky-related skills that allow them to fly. The same goes for the apostles.”

Suyeon Lee took out a notebook from her bag.

Information about Egyptian gods was briefly written and organized.

“If you look at page 217, there is a brief history of Horus.”

High mobility.

That was the biggest advantage that the Horus Guild, God of the Sky, had.

‘The only god who can compete in speed with Hermes.’

In addition, he has the power to know all the magic that exists in the world, and to analyze and process it faster than anyone else.

These two strengths were the powers that enabled Horus to attain the status of a mid-level god with only the title of God of the Sky.

Of course, the reason he could not rise above the level of a high-ranking god was because of his prestige as the god of the sky.

‘The thing you have to be most careful about is the speed of Horus.’

Since they collided, even if the others didn’t know, Horus had to be caught first.

You may not be able to completely stop the rumor from spreading, but if you let Horus escape without killing him, the rumor will spread.

‘It’s so unfair.’

At the very least, the rumor that I killed Horus should not spread until all the night monsters have been subdued.

No, you must not miss even one. If even one person runs away and the rumor spreads, future plans will go awry.

“What is the condition of the Eye of Horus?”

“You know the Eye of Horus!”

Her eyes sparkled.

It seemed like Lee Soo-yeon’s mythology fan instincts would kick in, so I stopped her.

“Please tell me the main point first. How far can Horus use the power of his eye?”

“Do you know that much?”

“Let’s talk about the details later.”

She calmed the fan’s eyes, which seemed to be activated again, and continued speaking.

“Now the Eye of Horus is a powerful weapon that allows Horus to become the greatest wizard. It is said that he grasps the truth with those eyes and uses various magic.”

“It’s a variety of magic. Is there anything else besides that?”

“Yes, it does not have healing powers.”

Should I say I am fortunate?

The power of my eyes was weaker than I thought.

The Eye of Horus, who became a superior god in his previous life, also had the power to heal wounds, like the solar plate of Ra.

Because the Night Monster absorbed that power, it was quite troublesome to deal with.

The fear that arises when a monster that has been hit by a sword attacks again while recovering from its wounds thanks to the protection of the Night Monster with the Eye of Horus.

“As you know, the Eye of Horus symbolizes powerful kingship in Egyptian mythology. He not only distinguishes between lies and truth, but also has the power to heal everything. “They are said to symbolize the sun and the moon, respectively, but mid-level gods would not have such strong power.”

Lee Su-yeon spoke again, bursting out with the excitement that had subsided.

“But they say the blessings of the sun and moon still remain.”

“You mean a blessing?”

“yes. This is the original power of the eyes. It is said that the moon contains healing and vast knowledge, and the sun contains powerful power and justice. “It hasn’t been proven.”

I guessed what she said was right.

If so, the power of the eye became stronger as Horus’ level increased.

Because it is understandable that the night monster used powerful magic and gained healing powers after absorbing the monster.

“Do many people know about the Eye of Horus?”

She shook her head.

“no. However, it is something that anyone who is interested in hunters and mythology would know. “It was in the past, but Horus himself gave an interview.”

This meant that there was a high probability that the apostates of the Night Myeonggoe already knew about it.

‘A night monster should not have that kind of power.’

never.

A question suddenly occurred to me.

This is what made Horus such a selfish being.

One title given to one god.

Only Egyptian gods showed this characteristic.

“Let me ask you just one question.”

“Please speak.”

“Why do you think Horus lost his reputation?”

There were many cases where gods who descended into this world had multiple names.

Thor is the god of lightning, but he was also the god of agriculture.

Odin is also the god of knowledge who controls everything, but he is also the god of madness, the god of victory, and the god of contracts.

“… Because of the conservative Egyptian gods. No, more accurately, it should be attributed to Ra.”

“la?”

“In Egypt, one god has numerous symbols and names. It is said that the sun god Ra alone has 75 names and pseudonyms. Some people even interpret other gods as different forms of Ra.”

“… … .”

“It’s my guess, but I think Ra shared his godhood with other gods when he descended here. “Ra created other Egyptian gods.”

“It’s a new approach.”

“I’m not sure, though.”

Lee Soo-yeon in her previous life said something similar.

-Contrary to my external image, I have a lot of greed.

The reason was not said.

She only said that she received information in exchange for confidentiality.

-I agree with the saying that you shouldn’t believe in God too much.

That face looked so lonely.

It was a face that seemed to hold too many secrets.

I thought maybe the reason she kept coming to me in my past life was because I didn’t believe in any gods.

It’s a thing of the past now.

From her speculation just now, I thought that maybe the sun god Ra was trying to absorb the power of not only humans but also other gods of the same Egyptian mythology.

‘That’s too much of an overinterpretation.’

The possibility has not been completely eliminated.

I just opened up one of the unknown possibilities.

“Then how do you plan to catch Horus?”

“I heard that Horus is investigating the Hephaestus case against the followers of the Nightmare. “He will come after him.”

“iced coffee… . Then, no way.”

“yes. “We will hunt down Horus, the god of human history, and all the apostates.”

Just telling you this much was enough.

Because the rest is up to me.

“Now we need information not about Horus, but about the Apostles of Horus. “Do you know anything?”

“Ah, let me start by telling you what I know. The first apostle… .”

I listened to her.

Because information about the enemy was essential.

* * *

After sending her home, I reaffirmed the benefits I had gained from having Jormungand as my familiar.

[Passive: Giant dragon wrapped around Midgard – S class]

[Description: Absorbed the poison of Jormungand, which killed even Thor, the god of lightning.]

[Effect: Becomes partially immune to poison.]

[Combinable skills]

[Nine-Headed Viper – Grade A]

[Effect: Increases resistance to poison. The probability of becoming addicted is greatly reduced.]

The nine-headed poisonous snake obtained while attacking Hydra, and the giant dragon’s fang obtained while capturing Jormungand.

Both skills were skills that increased resistance to poison.

The reason why combinations are possible is because they are the same type of skill.

[Would you like to combine?]

[When combined, the two skills are integrated into one.]

of course.

There was no reason not to do it.

As soon as I nodded, the book of the Godslayer opened.

Just like when I first took out this encyclopedia.

Two skills were written in the book that opened before my eyes.

Sigh!

[Nine-Headed Serpent – ​​Fang of the Giant Dragon]

Hydra and Jormungand’s skills shine brightly.

The letters engraved with the two skills floating in front of my eyes blended into one and gradually began to glow brightly.

The light surrounding the mixed letters began to glow golden.

And the letters that were shining golden came together again to form a word.

Chiiik!

“Kwaaaah!”

At the same time, I felt a pain in my chest as if it were being held with an iron.

“Wow!”

After enduring the pain that took my breath away for a long time.

[Unsinkable – SS level]

[Explanation: No poison can contaminate your body.]

[Effect: Has complete immunity to all poisons.]

[Multiple Poison Immortal replaces Nine-Headed Viper.]

Unsinkable.

A new passive of absolute resistance that provides immunity to all poisons was created through combination.

“You mean you can’t gain anything without pain?”

It was as if the history book was speaking to me like that.

Aside from that, the effect of the newly acquired skill was enormous.

Immune to poison.

I felt like I was getting a sense of how to capture Horus.

* * *

-There is news that the Ares Guild has discovered traces of apostates on the east coast. The apostates were killed by Hunter, whose affiliation is unknown, and the forces of Gunther, King of Burgundy… .

There was news on TV.

It was news about the Azur traitors I had defeated.

Gunther being interviewed was captured on the screen.

Behind Gunther’s interview, other Vikings were also seen helping the villagers.

Ares Guild members were also helping them.

The rumor that Gunther has rounded up all the apostates will quickly spread.

Public sentiment in Germany, which had fallen after the news that German hero Siegfried had died at the hands of Gunther, will soon rise.

‘Some people will know about Gunther’s existence. ‘The person who killed Siegfried and the person who cleared out the apostates are the same.’

However, there is no basis to connect with Hephaestus there, so you won’t be able to act hastily.

Su-yeon Lee, who was watching the news next to me, looked at me with admiration and poked my side.

“That’s what Mr. Dojin did, right? “You went to the east coast to meet Jormungand.”

I couldn’t answer.

Because the news I wanted to see came out right away.

-There is news that the Horus Guild has departed for Yangju to conquer the Abyss.

We left earlier than expected.

It seemed like they moved quite hastily, perhaps because of the clues discovered by the Ares Guild.

On the surface, it was said to be a strategy to conquer the Abyss, but I knew that it was to conquer apostates.

“Is this okay?”

Fence fence Choi Joo-man held out a huge bag filled with things.

I immediately checked the various equipment and consumables inside.

Starting with Arachne’s spider web, the famously tough legs of the beetle, and the explosive sac of Grassom, a reptile-type monster holding a huge explosive sac.

Jooman Choi obtained all the items that were difficult to obtain without any shortage.

I knew he was a talented person, but seeing this ability again was surprising.

It’s one thing to sell off the by-products of the monsters and gods I brought with me in an instant, and the other is to steadily obtain the items I want.

That’s why I like it.

“that’s enough.”

This amount was enough to handle not only the Horus Guild but also the apostates of the Night Monster.

“Well, I asked for it and I did, but what did you use it for?”

“It’s difficult if you try to know too much.”

“Hmm, well… . Then I won’t ask any more. “In this world, a word is worth a thousand pounds.”

Next to the items Jooman Choi had prepared, there was a large bag of money.

“But what is this money?”

“Well, it’s the money they earned from selling the by-products they brought with them. From body fragments of lava giants to various weapons and magic stones of spirits… . “It’s all money that has been processed.”

“There are more than I thought.”

The bag was filled with 50,000 won bills as payment for the by-products obtained when conquering the lava dungeon.

It was a billion-dollar sum of money.

“Keu, it’s natural that the more precious a material is, the more people look for it and the more expensive it is.”

“How much is all this?”

“It’s about 200 million in total. I paid about 5% of the commission on my own. “There are some items that haven’t been sold yet, so I’ll take care of them later as soon as they are traded.”

When I heard the price, I whetted my appetite.

It was a bit disappointing that at the time, there were only Lee Su-yeon and me, so the amount of by-products we could take was limited.

If there were more people, I think I would have earned a little more?

“Then have you already deducted the cost of the items you prepared? Or can I give it to you now?”

“no. “This item is my sincerity.”

“Qualitative?”

Jooman Choi coughed at my words and glanced at me.

“Keuhumhum, that’s me. Rather than receiving a small amount of money for this item, I would like to exchange trust with you.”

“trust?”

Trust.

It was a very awkward word to hear from the mouth of a fence-crow.

There is a story like this among hunters.

-Never trust a fence that says he is not greedy for money.

That’s because most fence fences only move based on money.

To that extent, the word trust was far from a fence.

“I never imagined that a fencer would value trust more than money.”

“I’m saying this because I think it would be of greater benefit to me to buy your trust than that money.”

Choi Joo-man, with shining eyes, made a circle with his thumb and index finger and flicked them from side to side.

“You smell like money.”

“Smell like money?”

“okay. “I am confident that if I continue my relationship with you, I will make a lot of money someday.”

“… … .”

“I can take some losses to make more money.”

“okay?”

“of course!”

I grabbed my backpack while looking at Jooman Choi, who confidently shouted.

“Then, as a token of trust, take this.”

“what?”

“Instead, I will trade with you all the by-products obtained from this subjugation and its aftermath. “That is my answer to the trust you gave me.”

“Without any guarantee?”

“My word is a guarantee. If you don’t want to believe it, pay again. We keep what we say to each other. “Isn’t this the beginning of trust and faith?”

Jooman Choi shook his head at those words.

“Keuhumhum! It’s not that I don’t like it. “I just asked to confirm.”

With those words, I packed the backpack I had prepared.

“Next time, I’ll come back with this backpack full of loot and by-products.”

“good. “If only that would create a relationship of trust between us.”

Jooman Choi licked his appetite as if he was disappointed.

He still seemed disappointed that this equipment was given away for free, but he no longer expressed it.

“Where are you going?”

“I’ll let you know about that later when our trust builds.”

Isn’t it still in the build-up phase?

“Hmm, okay.”

After gathering my equipment, I moved to Yangju where the Horus Guild had left.

It was time to drop the hawk from the sky.
