The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 71

Chapter 071

During my two days off, I thought about ways to save Fenrir.

A wolf is locked in an underground cave that is almost like a prison for the crime of eating God.

As in the myth, arrogance and excessive greed once again fell into the shackles of shackles.

A monster that ate five lower-level gods and one middle-level god.

In the myth, Odin, here, Zeus himself punished and imprisoned him.

Trapped deep underground, unable to see any light, he was slowly dying at this very moment.

It was obvious why Loki made me do it instead of making the move himself.

He said he was saved by humans, but he probably tried to deny it because he didn’t know about it.

‘He made me do it because he didn’t want to be in an uncomfortable relationship by directly opposing the opinion of the god who punished him.’

The other reason is probably related to the gods of the other world.

‘In his past life, Loki stood on the side of the gods of the other world until the end.’

So we killed him with our own hands.

It was clear that I was walking a dangerous tightrope even at this moment.

Because he always preferred that kind of tightrope walking.

‘Fenrir is located in a remote, deep cave in a corner, untouched by human hands.’

Surprisingly, it was Zeus, not Odin, who directly punished Fenrir.

In the myth, Odin forcibly sealed Loki’s three children, including Fenrir, because he thought they were a disaster that would cause Ragnarok.

He belatedly realized that Loki’s three children had become a disaster because he had sealed them, and after his advent, he did not impose any special punishment on them.

-I will punish you when you do something unforgivable again.

Of course, before Odin could act, Zeus had tied up Fenrir with extreme severity.

In a world that can never be reached by human hands.

Fenrir dared to eat a god.

At least that was an unacceptable act for Zeus.

-God must be absolute.

Because he used this phrase as a habit.

“But how are you going to save me? “I mean Fenrir.”

Suyeon Lee asked, trailing off.

“You have to do well.”

“… “Is that all?”

“yes. That’s it. “If you do well, you will find it.”

Suyeon Lee looked at me as if she couldn’t believe those words.

But she couldn’t continue speaking.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the tailor shop, which is Athena’s pantheon.

Athena’s tailor shop in Yeongdeungpo-gu where we last parted ways.

A tailor shop located in a deserted alley was waiting for us with a unique atmosphere.

“Let’s go in. “I’ll be waiting.”

When I opened the tailor shop door, a familiar space appeared.

This time, Monos welcomed us from the beginning, not in the form of an old man, but in the original form of a woman.

“I was waiting.”

She bowed her head and approached me with a polite greeting.

“Are you going to leave right away?”

“That’s right.”

“Please set your destination. “Athena gave permission.”

“Please tell me thank you for your concern.”

I then told him my destination.

“Elfheim. I will go there. “There is a branch there too, right?”

“… Sure.”

Monos stared at me for a moment and nodded curtly with his signature smile.

Elfheim.

A land where fairies and elves live.

However, unlike Nidavellir, the world of dwarves, it is a land not connected to Earth.

A land that ordinary humans cannot reach.

A place where there is an underground cave where Zeus bound Fenrir so that he could never be touched by human hands.

Neither Monos nor Athena were fools.

Elfheim, where Fenrir is imprisoned.

I am a human who has Loki’s back.

And even Athena’s scissors that can cut anything.

You probably know what that means.

Monos asked me about Elfheim.

“Let me ask you just one thing. “Why are you going to Elfheim?”

“Do I have to tell you that far?”

“… You need to let me know. Because Athena is asking for it.”

“If you want to hear it, you have to come forward. “Don’t talk through your agent.”

Monos closed his eyes tightly at those words.

It may be because Athena’s angry voice is heard.

And for a moment, the staff room opened and Athena walked out.

She glared at me with an angry face.

“Are you out of your mind? “Is this really why you made a deal with me?”

“Didn’t you roughly expect this from the time you heard about Loki? “It’s not like the Goddess of Wisdom didn’t expect this.”

“This bastard… .”

“If you want to stop me, you can, but it would be better to give up the Aegis you want so much. “Now that Hephaestus is dead, I am the only one who can create the Aegis.”

“you… .”

“Didn’t you want to become a god beyond Zeus? He has a desire to usurp the kingship from him and become the main lord.”

Athena did not respond.

I couldn’t deny it, and if I affirmed it, it would be like declaring that I would be hostile to Zeus.

“I won’t tell you anything about Athena. Even Fenrir wouldn’t know. “And Loki too.”

“Do you think that’s possible?”

It’s Rocky.

Not another god, Loki.

Athena knew about the power that name had.

If you make a little mistake, it will only take a moment for the scammer to steal everything.

So you must not let down your guard at all.

This man didn’t look like an apostle of Loki.

It was said that there was no god, and in fact, there was no sign of god.

Except for the hammer of Hephaestus.

A human being without a back body.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Athena’s mind.

“Then I will place one condition.”

“Please tell me.”

“You will become my apostle.”

“I’ve never heard of a man becoming an apostle of Athena.”

Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war, but she was also a virgin god.

Athena’s apostles are in the realm of golden men.

Men were things that should never be under Athena.

But Athena spoke as if it didn’t matter.

“doesn’t care. Do you think that a mere human being can tarnish my reputation? “There will be discussions among the apostles, but I will prepare at least a single cell for you.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to belong to anyone.”

“Then how can I trust you?”

“Isn’t that why you added a surveillance station?”

“… … .”

Athena closed her mouth.

Aegis was a much-needed shield for her.

Even among gods of the same rank, the difference in power and rank they could exert depending on the presence or absence of holy relics was remarkable.

Among the gods, there were those who deliberately opened the Abyss and went out to subdue it in order to find their own holy relics within the Abyss.

That was the case with Hephaestus, who was trying to attack the Gragas Abyss.

He failed, but didn’t the sun god Ra succeed?

However, the Aegis, one of Athena’s holy relics, was not a weapon that could be obtained from the Abyss.

Because it was a shield created by the blacksmith god himself.

This man knows that too, so he’s acting brave.

“You’re clever. I know I have no choice but to accept it… .”

“It’s a win-win situation for both sides. “I will get Fenrir, and Athena will get the Aegis.”

“good. “If so, swear that you will never reveal this fact to anyone else.”

“I knew. I promise. “I won’t tell anyone, gods or humans, including Loki.”

“Including the human woman and the dirty snake in the back.”

Athena glared at Sooyeon Lee and Jormungand.

The two looked at Kim Do-jin’s notice.

When he nodded, they both quickly accepted.

-Sure.

“All right!”

It was a refusal of Zeus’ orders… .

‘It’s okay to say you don’t know.’

It’s not like Zeus can read his mind.

If he pretended not to know, there was no way he would know.

That is, unless the arrogant humans and snakes in front of you speak.

“We will definitely have to make and bring the Aegis.”

“of course.”

Only then did Athena gesture to Monos.

“Go.”

“I understand, Athena.”

Athena went back to the staff room.

Do-jin, who was quietly watching the scene, smiled to himself.

‘done.’

Either way, Monos closed his eyes to carry out his master’s orders.

“Then we will move. “You may feel dizzy for a moment, so be careful.”

“Is it because it moves between dimensions?”

“You know very well.”

Sssss.

My head spun for a moment.

Nothing much changed inside.

One thing that has changed is that the scenery beyond the window has changed.

There were no modern buildings left, and the landscape was densely covered with numerous trees.

That place was Elfheim, the world of fairies.

“Let’s go.”

Monos took the lead.

I followed her, and Suyeon Lee followed me.

When I opened the door, a breath of fresh air came in that filled my nose as if I had eaten mint candy.

I took a deep breath without realizing it in the cool, clean air.

This was my second time breathing the air of Elfheim.

At that time, the air was not this clean.

Because I came to save Elfheim, which was already half destroyed.

An Abyss that never closed.

To close this, I visited Elfheim with Lee Hyeon at the time.

The memory of helping him close the Abyss was still vivid.

“This is Elfheim.”

Monos said, pointing to a wide expanse of dense bushes.

In the center of the forest was the World Tree, Yggdrasil, rising high into the sky.

The giant world tree was so large that it could embrace the entire forest.

Sparkling fairies and elves could be seen in the bushes stretching around the World Tree.

Lee Su-yeon could not help but be amazed by the heterogeneous scenery.

“wow… . I can’t believe I’m alive to see Elfheim. I am truly a saint… .”

Monos, leaving behind the admiring Sooyeon Lee, approached me.

“I was surprised.”

“What do you mean?”

“I never imagined that there would be a human who could defeat Athena.”

Monos was admiring in a different way.

“is that so.”

“Yes, I am Athena, who was blessed by Nike, the god of victory, and never lost even a small fight. “It’s an argument, but you can beat someone like that.”

She was smiling slightly, with her hands clasped together as if she was deeply impressed by me.

“What is the method?”

“Are you asking that from me, who was arguing with that god just a moment ago?”

“You said there are things we can learn from even our enemies. But before that, weren’t we now part of the Han party?”

I calmly responded to her words that revealed her feelings.

“That’s unusual. “Shouldn’t you be angry when you see your god losing?”

“Not at all. In fact, it’s the opposite. Athena said. There is something to be learned from defeat. He also said that after a defeat, we need to not just hate the enemy, but analyze why the enemy won.”

Even though Arachne’s memories were obviously erased, it was interesting that she focused on the fact that humans had defeated the gods.

‘Does the body have memories of its past life?’

It would be nice if she could utilize this, but right now she was still Monos, an apostle of Athena.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you.”

“Are you saying you haven’t earned my trust yet?”

“Isn’t it a surveillance station?”

“… you’re right.”

“I am not an apostle of Athena, so I do not teach my methods of victory to my enemies.”

“okay. All right.”

Monos nodded as if he understood.

Was he originally like this?

And then there was a group of people approaching us.

These were the elves who were the owners of Elfheim.

The elf in the lead asked.

“Apostle of Athena, what are you doing here?”
