Chapter 087

“So where is Hel?”

Gunther, who was at the forefront, asked me.

“I don’t know now.”

“… “Did you just bring me here without knowing where it was?”

The biting cold could not have been brought to the land of the dead without any plan.

“I don’t know. “Loki himself said he didn’t know her whereabouts.”

“… Is that true?”

I nodded to Reginleif’s question.

“yes. “But there are people in our group who know places that Loki doesn’t know.”

“Who is that… … .”

I saw Fenrir struggling on his short legs in Lee Su-yeon’s arms and Jormungand riding on my shoulder.

“Jormungand, Fenrir.”

-… … .

-… … .

“You didn’t think you could come all the way here and hide it, did you?”

The two spirit creatures closed their mouths as if they had promised.

Unknown to Loki, these two spirit creatures, her brothers, knew Hel’s location.

So that the two older brothers who care about my younger sister can visit her whenever there is a crisis.

-… Did you know?

-Who told you?

“It’s a feeling. Three siblings who were abandoned by their father and suffered without parents. “Isn’t that why the brotherhood is particularly strong?”

In fact, there was no memory of the two spirit beings revealing her location.

When these two met their end, I had not yet performed properly.

However, I knew one thing for sure.

After the deaths of Jormungandr and Fenrir, it wasn’t long before Hel, filled with rage, declared revenge.

He called out the names of the gods and apostles who killed the two spirit creatures one by one and prayed for their death.

She, who had been oppressed by the kings of other underworlds and was unable to regain her courage, went on a rampage, shouting for revenge.

I could tell that their relationship was quite special.

And I thought that those two would be able to know Hel’s location at least roughly.

Even if it’s not 100 percent accurate.

That’s why these two said they would help.

-Even if I knew, I couldn’t tell you.

-Even the benefactor will know what that means.

“Are you afraid Hel will get hurt? If not, do you think I’ll tell you to fight Hel right away?”

-It’s not like that.

Jormungand stuck out his tongue and continued speaking.

-Unlike us, that child is a spirit being and a god, worshiped as a god of the underworld. He’s actually worried about you. No matter how many times you have a record of defeating a god, isn’t this Niflheim, the underworld?

“I told you last time. “I didn’t come here to fight.”

The two spirits fell silent.

-It’s a pity for the benefactor, but we don’t know the exact location.

-I can only guess where that child is.

“That’s enough.”

I plan to take care of the rest.

You can’t just spoon feed it into your mouth.

The two looked at each other.

-… I get it. Because I owe my benefactor something.

-If I knew I would be dragged around like this, I wouldn’t have signed such a contract.

-Jormungand, you had better kill your useless pride.

-Because I don’t whine like my brother did when I was bullied by otherworldly scum.

-I’ve already heard everything. They said you too were dying slowly by apostates. If you survived thanks to a benefactor, shouldn’t you be thankful for it?

-Who said they weren’t thankful… . And if you think about it, before I am your younger brother, am I not your senior?

-Do you admit that you are a familiar?

-… … .

The two spirits, or rather the familiars, glared at each other and bickered.

“Stop fighting and tell me where to go.”

-sorry. Because of my spoiled younger brother.

-You have to be like an older brother to be called an older brother.

Fenrir sighed at Jormungand’s words and got out of my arms.

A guy who had grown to the size of a Shiba Inu stood next to Gunther, who was in the lead, wagging his tail.

-I will guide you. Viking, you must guide those behind you so they don’t get caught in the fog.

“Okay.”

Fenrir, who was sniffing with his nose twitching, pointed in one direction and walked.

Gunther walked shoulder to shoulder with Fenrir.

“Just follow the path I take.”

“All right.”

Reginleif, who was watching this, opened his mouth.

“We must hurry. “It seems like the dead have finally noticed us.”

We moved forward through the cold of Niflheim.

Damn!

Niflheim’s biting wind targeted us with vicious persistence.

I could feel the gaze of the dead more and more clearly.

Their persistent gaze followed us endlessly.

Lee Su-yeon, who was staring at the dead who had no intention of falling, trembled.

“It’s creepy.”

Because she was the weakest among us, she seemed to react sensitively to their gaze.

This wasn’t just because of the cold.

It was because of the cold and at the same time the fundamental fear of the dead targeting him.

Her face began to turn pale.

Seeing that, I put Jormungand, who was riding on my shoulder, on her shoulder.

Chwiiik!

Jormungand stuck out his tongue and looked around.

-Who are you staring at so arrogantly?

As Jormungand, who, unlike Fenrir, still possessed his original power, showed off his power, the gaze of the dead towards Lee Soo-yeon was greatly reduced.

“Let’s go quickly. “It won’t work for long.”

They are already dead.

They were beings who did not mind death coming once again if it was to fulfill their desires.

Even if it leads to eternal extinction.

‘More greedy than the living.’

And that greedy gaze also turned to Leginleif, who was standing in the middle of the group as if guarding Lee Su-yeon.

Valkyrie, the lion who leads death.

A knight of Odin and an enemy of Hel, the goddess of the underworld.

An enemy of the dead, a being that can attack at any time.

Ohhh.

I feel a gaze full of hostility.

And it was the same for me as a companion.

“I guess I’ll have to prepare for battle soon.”

It was then.

-go back.

A voice was heard in the air.

A young woman’s voice.

‘Is it hell?’

I was instinctively convinced that it belonged to Hel, the god of this place.

-go back.

I saw Fenrir and Jormungandr.

“Did he recognize you?”

-I don’t think that’s true. If that were the case, I would have asked.

Even before Fenrir finished speaking, Hel’s voice was heard.

-If you don’t go back right away, the dead will bite you all.

Fenrir frowned at the words that sounded like a child’s complaint.

-This is not a good thing.

“What do you mean?”

-The dead are biting us, which means that all the dead in Niflheim will become our enemies. They are basing their hopes on the unfounded rumor that the dead who eat the living can be reincarnated.

“Well, you should have been nice to your sister.”

-Does the benefactor still have room to joke in this situation?

“I said this because you were too nervous.”

I looked around with the Eye of Horus on.

Even with the eyes of Horus, who analyzes magic, he was unable to fully determine what kind of power the fog possessed.

still.

[Unknown entities are approaching.]

They were aware of the approach of the dead and were warning them.

“The dead are coming.”

Before I could finish speaking, a group of dead people appeared.

-Ugh… .

-Huh… .

-Ugh… .

The dead muttered something, but we, the living, could not hear their voices.

Except for just one being.

“The dead who died of old age and fell into Niflheim are talking arrogantly.”

Valkyrie Leginleif leads the dead to the underworld.

She became angry as she listened to the dead.

“What are you saying?”

“It’s obvious that they will eat us and resurrect us.”

-go back.

Hel’s voice was heard again.

“I think we have to deal with all of those dead people first and then get through.”

Everyone nodded at her words.

“Be careful not to fall into that fog during the fight.”

Gunther added another word and took out an axe.

Reginleif, who was watching this, pulled out his sword.

“First, I will apply a buff before fighting. “Everyone, please come near me.”

When we pulled out our swords, Valkyrie’s light enveloped us, and the warmth emanating from the light warmed us.

-Kkiik!

The sound of scratching resonates in my ears.

It was a power that gave life to the living and fear to the dead.

“They won’t be able to attack you carelessly.”

“Thank you.”

I also drew my sword.

Since everyone was ready for battle, there was no reason to hesitate.

We kept our positions and cut down the charging dead one by one.

Suddenly!

There was no way even a dead person could withstand my sword.

The sound of the dead person’s existence completely disappearing rang horribly in our ears.

The word complete annihilation made me feel heavy, but I couldn’t just leave the person trying to kill me.

Phew!

-Off… … .

Once again, a dead person falls.

We moved forward, clearing away the flocking dead one by one.

However, no matter how weak a single dead person is, it becomes difficult when the number increases to hundreds or thousands.

“Tsk, if we keep going like this, I think we’ll be the first to collapse from exhaustion! “Is there no solution?”

“there is.”

“Then what can I do instead of using it?”

I had a weapon and a skill that had the power to drive away the bitter cold.

[Volcanic Colossus – SS Grade]

[Skill: Earth Explosion]

[Description: It is the organ of Hephaestus, the greatest craftsman, the god of volcanoes, and the lava itself.]

[Effect: The power of Hephaestus explodes as it splits the ground.]

[The number of uses is limited.]

[The number of uses per day is 5 times.]

However, wielding this in the chilly Niflheim could easily incur Hel’s wrath.

They say it disrupted the spirit of this place.

but.

‘I think I already incurred her wrath from the moment I entered Niflheim.’

Just making them angry twice won’t make a big difference, right?

I don’t want to continue to be attacked by the dead here.

You should at least try.

This was something Hel brought upon herself.

I wouldn’t know if they had even talked to each other, but if things started like this from the beginning, I wouldn’t be able to be kind to them either.

He struck the hammer of Hephaestus on the ground.

Kwaaaa!!

The frozen ground shook and the axis of the earth was twisted.

Damn it!

And lava boiled between them.

Grumble!

The dead did not dare to approach the place where the lava was boiling.

The dead spread the distance around the lava.

Naturally, there was an opening to escape.

“Now. Everyone run!”

Everyone left their seats as if they had been waiting for my words.
