Chapter 078

Everyone’s eyes were on me.

“… … .”

I got up from my seat.

No one opened their mouth first.

Even Elbrida was lost in thought, biting her lip.

“Then, I will go back and find my belongings from the wolf who stole them.”

If Gleipnir is left unreleased, as expected, he may die within a month, or even a week at the earliest.

It’s a shame that I can’t fulfill Loki’s request.

I can’t help it.

You can’t kill all the elves and take them, right?

“Are you just going to go back?”

Monos was the first to stop me.

She seemed genuinely embarrassed.

From the beginning, all she and I had planned in advance was about the curse of Decay.

“The noble elves said that Fenrir is more important than the World Tree, so there is no way.”

“We can’t trust humans!”

“… … .”

Shirai’s cry and Elbrida’s silence.

I saw two elf elders.

“I offered to hand over the credit for hunting down DK, but you’re not happy about it, so I have no choice. Just watch the World Tree rot with Fenrir.”

The elves murmured.

For them, it was impossible for the World Tree to rot.

Perplexed and angry gazes turned to me at the words, which were nothing short of a curse to the elves.

“If it dies, will it really pollute the forest?”

Elbrida asked first.

“That is highly likely. Since DK has been active for so long that it has grown like that, it will probably start rotting here in Underwood.”

This also contained a bit of exaggeration.

Elbrida bit her lip.

“Lin.”

“Yes, Elder.”

“Is it really true that that man exterminated a monster from another world?”

“yes. He was skilled as if he had dealt with him several times. “Everything from avoiding the poison to the end.”

“All right. If that’s true, there’s no way. If the forest really rots, it would mean losing our entire home… .”

He continued.

“We dark elves agree to release Gleipnir from Fenrir.”

“Elbrida!”

“Shirai, the elf has continued to disturb us. Because of that, proper management and supervision was difficult. So shouldn’t he be held responsible for that?”

“If you lose Fenrir, the wrath of the gods… .”

“The resentment that will arise from Fenrir’s death will be even greater. How much would Odin and Zeus care if they lost Fenrir? From their perspective, it’s a puppy they can catch at any time, but what about Loki?”

Shirai closed her mouth at those words.

“Didn’t they say that elves act for the forest and the world tree? “And he puts the world’s tree at risk for his own life?”

Shirai gritted her teeth.

It was a face that had a lot to say.

“Otherwise, please ask the high elf hiding in the World Tree directly. “Wouldn’t it be possible to heal if we use the dew from the World Tree?”

“How can you tell me to just use that precious thing on that wolf!”

“Then you should give up.”

It’s concluded.

Here, Shirai had only one weapon to refute.

What I said was a lie, and that is why the curse on Fenrir’s body will not spread to the forest.

But now the core of the problem was not just the curse.

Whether Fenrir is alive or dead, including the curse.

In addition to resolving the curse, Fenrir also had to be saved.

“If anything goes wrong, the Dark Elves will take full responsibility.”

“If it goes well, it will be a credit to the Dark Elves.”

When I intervened, Shirai’s brow furrowed.

“… great. Then, let’s free Gleipnir that is binding him.”

Now is the time to use the scissors given to me by Athena.

* * *

Before heading to Fenrir, Monos, who had bitten others, came to me separately.

“You were too reckless to release Fenrir.”

“Things didn’t go well.”

“Yes, but… . “If anything had gone wrong, I would have become the enemy of both the elves and the dark elves.”

She was genuinely worried about me.

As Athena’s watchdog and helper, it seemed like she didn’t want me to do anything wrong.

“are you okay. Even if something had gone wrong, Mr. Monos and Athena would not have been harmed.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about… .”

Monos sighed for a moment and continued speaking.

“I’m glad you’re aware, though. If something happens to Dojin, Athena will end up using her power without even obtaining the Aegis. Please be careful.”

“I know.”

Monos pressed his forehead with a tired expression.

“But why was the god of this world in the elven forest? “The Abyss has been subjugated for a long time, and Elfheim has been completely isolated from outside society ever since.”

“I bet there is an enemy inside.”

“The enemy within… . “Well, if it weren’t for that, the small larvae, which were no different from eggs, wouldn’t have been able to eat Fenrir’s body.”

It seemed that DK had been staying in that cave for at least a year.

This means that it wasn’t just a day or two that that cave was contaminated with the curse of corruption.

“I know that Elfheim also went through a lot of trouble fighting against the gods of this world, so why did they become attached to the gods of this world?”

“It’s probably because there are opponents more hateful than the gods of this world.”

Monos’ eyes widened at my words.

“I hate you more than the gods of this world… . Dojin, do you think the elf is the culprit?”

A person who not only intentionally interfered with the Dark Elves from managing Fenrir, but also periodically harassed them, increasing hostility with the Elves.

The entity that stands to benefit the most when the Dark Elves are destroyed by the gods of the other world.

That was the elf elder Shirai.

“yes. “Shirai is most likely the culprit.”

It’s still just a heartache, though.

“… “It may be the most likely, but it’s just a symptom?”

“that’s right. “There is no solid physical evidence.”

Without physical evidence, I couldn’t catch him, and even if I did, I couldn’t persuade others.

“So, let me ask you one favor.”

“What is it?”

“When you liberate Fenrir, if Shirai moves, stop him.”

“Stop it?”

“yes. Fenrir is now almost as weak as dead. “If Shirai is really the culprit who planted DK here, he won’t want to miss that opportunity.”

A weakened Fenrir.

Fenrir is freed.

If you pollute it and turn it into a monster, no one will be able to stop it, at least not unless a god comes down.

The criminal must be thinking that way.

“… All right. “Then what about Elbrida?”

“If he is the criminal, there is someone who can stop him.”

Monos nodded and opened his mouth again.

“Gleipnir is a bond that not even Fenrir could break. Is there a way?”

“Sure.”

I took out the scissors.

These were the scissors I received from Athena.

Those scissors that have the power to cut anything.

“also… . “It was because of this.”

“yes. “Maybe Athena knows.”

“In that case, Gleipnir must be recovered at all costs. “I don’t want it to be revealed that I cut it with scissors imbued with Athena’s power.”

“of course.”

“great. Now that I know what your plan is, I’ll be there to help. “If Elfheim falls, Athena’s position will not be good.”

It was Athena who invested by opening a branch in Elfheim.

You don’t want this place to collapse.

“Then, let’s go.”

After leaving the conference room with Monos, the first thing I did was look for Suyeon Lee.

“Suyeon.”

“Ah, Mr. Dojin. I was looking for it. Will you take me with you this time?”

She approached me and waved the baseball bat in her hand back and forth.

Even though her form was sloppy, I knew that wasn’t the only power she had.

“Sure. “There is something that Sooyeon needs to do.”

“What am I going to do?”

“Please hide yourself before I liberate Fenrir.”

“… “What can I do?”

Now if you pretend, you pretend.

“If Elbrida shows any suspicious movement, you can come out and stop him.”

If it means freeing Fenrir from Gleipnir, it will be a story she can write down.

“all right.”

Now the preparations are complete.

Finally, all you have to do is implement it.

I arrived in front of Fenrir, who was chained to Gleipnir.

-This time, I came looking for a lot… .

Fenrir, who was breathing heavily, looked at us with a self-deprecating smile.

-Are you planning on killing me?

Saliva was dripping from the guy’s mouth.

“Killing. “I’m here to free you.”

-… I don’t trust you.

The guy’s blurry eyes turned to me.

I couldn’t even focus properly so my eyes were shaking here and there.

You’re acting properly.

This guy was showing blatant hostility towards all elves, including humans.

“Even if I came here to free you, it would be difficult if it continued like this.”

-okay. Tyr, there once was a god who spoke similar words to you.

Tyr, god of war.

When the name of the god who put his hand into Fenrir’s mouth was mentioned, all the elves trembled.

There was no one here who knew what had become of him.

-You guys know it well.

He was showing off his acting skills while keeping his guard against me until the end.

The elves looked at each other.

No one was willing to extend their hand first.

“I will do it. “Because I said I would let you go.”

The elves didn’t bother to stop me.

But he probably didn’t want to stick his hand into that mouth.

Even the elf who was probably suspicious of me kept quiet in this situation.

I put my left hand into Fenrir’s maw.

This was a strategy to reassure the real culprit hiding among the elves.

This shows that because you can’t use one arm, you can’t give it your all.

I put my left hand into Fenrir’s maw, and with my right hand I took out the scissors imbued with the power of Athena from Kibisis.

“Don’t make a fuss, just stay still. “Then you lose weight.”

[Scissors imbued with the power of Athena – S grade]

[Description: Scissors filled with the power of Athena]

[Effect: Can cut anything. (Can be used 1 time)]

God’s scissors that can cut anything.

As evidenced by her numerous titles, such as the God of Wisdom and the God of War, these were scissors that gave off a subtle resonance just by pulling them out.

-that… .

“I told you to stay still.”

Fenrir fell silent.

I concentrated my mind and focused all my attention on the scissors.

The power of Athena that resides in the scissors is transmitted to me through my hands.

[Select the area that can be cut.]

The surroundings were covered in silence.

A situation where no one is even breathing.

With scissors, I cut the starting point where Gleipnir and Fenrir meet.

Suddenly!

With the sound of a hard blade being cut.

Ting!

Gleipnir, which had dug into Fenrir’s skin, lost its strength and fell limp.

Because it had dug too deep, Gleipnir clung to Fenrir’s body without falling even after being cut.

Gleipnir covered in sticky blood, pus, and fluid.

It was a sight that made me frown just by looking at it.

It was digging into my skin and even gnawing at my bones.

I couldn’t imagine how painful it must have been.

Quaaaang!

At that time, a loud explosion was heard from behind.

Monos stopped Shirai who was running towards Fenrir.

Wow!

“Koheook!”

At the same time, I also heard the sound of a piece of metal hitting my head.

Elbrida was seen clutching the back of her head after being attacked by Lee Su-yeon.

And that Elbrida.

“What are you doing, Elder?”

Lin dominated it completely.

There were two criminals.
