Chapter 084

Room 304, where Brünnhilde lives with her relatives.

When she came to her senses, Gunther was already ringing the bell in front of her house.

It felt like a few more days had passed before I made up my mind, but only one day had passed.

‘I feel like I’m possessed by a ghost.’

I really never thought I would come here again.

It’s not that I didn’t know the address where Brünnhilde was hiding.

That’s why he was fishing in Korea.

I thought that realizing that she still existed from afar and suffering because of it was a form of atonement.

So even though I knew about it, I didn’t go there.

But now he was standing in front of it and ringing the doorbell.

Ding-dong.

There was no sound inside.

“… … .”

A heavy silence tightened Gunther’s heart.

He bit his lip.

“Be brave and grab the doorknob. “Why is the High King of Burgundy so frightened?”

Dojin, the man who gave him a new life tapped him on the shoulder.

“Dojin, even now… … .”

“It’s not possible. never.”

“… “I’m not mentally ready yet.”

“Were you mentally prepared to fight on the battlefield?”

“That’s not true… … .”

Gunther turned his head and looked at Dojin.

A man who suddenly appeared and changed his life, as well as killed Siegfried, his sworn brother and subordinate whom he once trusted and followed.

A human who uses Jormungand as a familiar, closes the Abyss alone, and defeats the gods of the other world.

Even though he was not the hero of the story like himself, he did not hold back.

As I watched him move forward as if he wanted to create his own story, I felt the splendor of youth, and I also felt jealous of him as a warrior.

‘I also knew that it was a level I couldn’t follow.’

I gave up the thought of following him.

Instead, I thought that if I went with this man, I would definitely be able to change too.

So, he actively followed Dojin’s request for help and completely defeated the remnants of the apostates he was organizing.

Dojin said that.

Be brave.

Nothing will change if you are afraid.

“Open the door. “Don’t wait for an answer from inside.”

“… … .”

Gunther grabbed the doorknob.

“Whoa.”

Is Brünnhilde inside?

If she were there, what would she look like?

How can I look at her?

What do I really want?

reunion?

Saying I love you?

He turned the doorknob with trembling hands and pulled.

Slam!

Sure!

The unlocked door opened, revealing the inside.

As soon as I opened the door, I realized that it was not an ordinary apartment.

Inside, there was a Gothic marble floor, white marble pillars, and a high arched roof.

It was a building similar in appearance to the temple of Odin, the Norse god he worshiped in past stories.

A wide hallway welcomed Gunther and his group.

Swords decorated with all kinds of patterns were hanging on stands.

Helmets and shields with wings, and even armor with colorful wings.

Gunther saw a familiar piece of armor among them.

‘Brünnhilde… … .’

It was clearly her armor.

she is here

My beloved Brünnhilde.

* * *

“It’s still the same here.”

I walked along the long hallway with my companions.

Gunther walked in the lead with his mouth closed, as if he was very nervous, and Fenrir quickly followed, waddling on his short legs.

-I can feel the unpleasant power of Valkyrie.

Jormungand, who was wrapped around Soo-yeon Lee’s shoulder, stuck out his tongue repeatedly, as if he was uncomfortable with Valkyrie’s power.

Of all these, the most exciting one was Lee Su-yeon.

“Wow, Valkyrie’s armor! and! There are wings here too! It sparkles so much that your face is reflected! As expected, Valkyrie, her weapon management is perfect! The ceiling of the temple is also high! I had no idea it was this spacious inside! After all, do all gods only live in big, fancy houses like this?”

She looked around the temple and shouted loudly.

He looked like a tourist on a trip to Europe.

okay. If you look at the camera in your hand over there… … .

‘camera?’

click! click!

“What are you doing?”

“There is no other opportunity like this. In times like this, you need to keep a record.”

She was taking pictures everywhere with her DSLR camera.

“Don’t take too many pictures. “You won’t like it that much.”

“Can’t we take pictures of Valkyries?”

“You wouldn’t like that either?”

“That’s too bad. I wanted to take pictures of the dignified figures wearing pure white armor… .”

I remembered what it was like when I met Valkyrie earlier.

Those languid figures wearing training clothes.

‘I might be disappointed.’

It wasn’t a very nice sight for someone who didn’t know him.

We walked along the road and were able to enter the living room at the end of the road.

And there.

“Are you here?”

“I was waiting.”

“It took longer than I thought. “I thought you would come right away.”

The three Valkyries who had greeted me in the past were looking at us wearing colorful training suits.

I knew it.

I didn’t think there would be any change from that outfit.

The only thing that has changed is that the house is cleaner than before and there are no more people lounging around holding the remote control.

Landgrid, Radgrid, Leginleif.

The three Valkyries took turns looking at me and Gunther and spoke.

“But I didn’t think you’d come together.”

“I thought even my timid brother-in-law would take on the challenge alone.”

“I guess Lord Dojin brought me here by force?”

Gunther cleared his throat at the words of the three Valkyries.

“Sisters-in-law, where is Brünnhilde?”

“There’s something you have to do before you meet your sister, right, brother-in-law?”

The three Valkyries glared at Gunther with fire in their eyes.

“… “It must be a challenge.”

“that’s right. Keep in mind that unlike before, there is no Siegfried to fool us. “I, Lord Do-jin, won’t help my brother-in-law.”

“I know. “It’s the only mountain I have to overcome.”

Gunther fell silent.

He took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth.

“I will take on the challenge.”

“Failure can lead to death. “You know, right?”

“then. “Vikings don’t fear death, so don’t worry.”

“Okay, brother-in-law. “Then let me step in first.”

Landgrid, who gave me the ordeal of arm wrestling, was the first to step forward.

“Cheer up, Gunther. “Remember the resolution you had in mind until you got here.”

“You brought it here by force, don’t you think?”

“No. The idea is to remember why Gunther went into hiding all the way to Korea. And that’s how he started working as a Viking again.”

I said, pointing to the belt he kept precious in his arms.

“Okay. “Thank you.”

Gunther stepped forward.

Then I picked up the camera and approached Sooyeon Lee, who was taking pictures of Valkyrie.

“Valkyrie’s sweatshirt version… . “This is precious.”

Lee Soo-yeon’s eyes lit up with a different meaning.

You don’t have to worry.

I wondered what I would do if I was disappointed, but instead, I had the look of a collector who had just acquired a rare item.

“Mr. Dojin, I think I came here really well. But can Mr. Gunther really pass the Valkyrie’s trials? “It’s famous for being very difficult.”

“well. “I guess I’ll have to watch to find out.”

Leginleaf, who symbolizes courage, came next to us.

She stood in front of me, wearing a yellow training suit, smiling.

I knew her true self with her sweet smile.

A Valkyrie who judges those who grab the doorknob and judges their courage.

“It looks like you did a good job persuading me.”

“I coerced rather than persuaded.”

“is that so?”

She smiled lightly and said to me.

“You have great people as your familiars.”

Her eyes turned to Fenrir, who was perched on my legs on the sofa, and Jormungand, who was wrapped around Sooyeon Lee’s shoulder.

“A lot happened.”

“After the test is over, I want to listen to it in detail.”

While he was saying that, the arm wrestling match was about to begin.

“But what is your purpose in coming here?”

She got straight to the point.

The eyes are smiling, but the gaze inside them is sharp, glaring at me.

Just like when we first met.

“You didn’t come simply to reconcile a couple’s fight.”

“You figured it out right away.”

I looked at Leginleif and smiled.

Kiyiing.

When Fenrir saw this, he put back his ears, pawed on his short legs, and stuck out his teeth.

If he had regained his strength, he would have looked scary, but now he just looked like a small puppy whining.

“calm down.”

I stroked Fenrir’s back with my hand.

When I brushed away the soft fur, the animal seemed to have calmed down a bit and stuck out its tongue again.

“Let me tell you first, Valkyrie of Courage. “I will go to Niflheim with you.”

“… … .”

Reginleif’s face turned cold when he heard those words.

“Are you serious?”

“yes.”

“We cannot go to Niflheim. “I’m sure you don’t know why.”

Valkyrie.

The battlefield angel or bringer of death who guides the Vikings to Valhalla.

It is said that when a Viking dies, he goes to four different worlds.

Odin’s Valhalla can only be visited by warriors who died gloriously on the battlefield.

Trudvangarh in Tor, where farmers and workers who have worked diligently all their lives can go.

Niflheim is the underworld where ordinary people go when they die.

Nastrond, where sinners go.

Valkyrie is a guide who guides the souls of glorious warriors to Odin’s Valhalla.

He was an interviewer who selected outstanding warriors and a messenger who connected this world with the afterlife.

Therefore, there was no way that Odin’s messengers would get along well with Hel, who ruled Niflheim.

“If we go to Niflheim, the spirits in Hel will try to kill us.”

“Don’t worry about that. “If you just pave the way, I or they will take care of the rest.”

I pointed at Fenrir and Jormungand, who were pouting.

“Are you okay? No matter how many of the queen’s brothers… … .”

“Fight is inevitable.”

Reginleif looked at me.

“I never said I wouldn’t fight in the first place.”

I have to fight.

Isn’t it ingrained in the genes of siblings to fight each other to the point of death?

We must fight and subdue Hel.

Because then I can get what I want.

“You really don’t know what’s going on.”

“I’ve heard that a lot.”

Coo!

“Kaaaa!!!”

Gunther, who won the arm wrestling, cried out.

He became stronger.

Even more so than recorded in Siegfried’s epic The Ring of the Nibelungen.

“next! Radgrid, hand over your ordeal!”

Gunther, full of confidence, looked at her and shouted.

Radgrid said to him.

“It is a trial of knowledge. Prove to God that you are wise.”
