Chapter 088

The lava that rose to the ground and swept away the dead lost its heat and hardened under the frost of Niflheim.

“What is this…?” .”

“Hehe, is that the hammer of God?”

“Wow, wow… .”

Everyone stopped fighting and watched in fascination.

I looked at those who stopped while looking at the black hardened lava and shouted to them.

“Now. Everyone run!”

Thanks to the lava taking care of all the dead nearby, there was a natural gap for them to escape.

There was no delay whatsoever.

We had to get out of here before more dead people came.

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

“Everyone follow me!”

We quickly ran to get out of the place, with Gunther leading the way.

Only after running for a while were we able to escape from the dead people.

* * *

“haha.”

Su-yeon Lee, who was breathing heavily, saw Do-jin looking around without losing his breath.

‘amazing.’

The sight of Niflheim’s ground cracking and lava pouring out just moments ago was truly spectacular.

There were no dead people who could withstand the magma that defeated even the cold of Niflheim.

As if trying to chase away the approaching death, his lava burned the entire area.

However, it never reached the party members.

It was powerful enough to destroy everything in its path, but I felt that the way it destroyed only its enemies and protected its allies was similar to what Dojin had shown so far.

Lee Su-yeon, who was looking at the back of him standing firmly holding a hammer, knew very well how difficult it was.

Niflheim is a place where the earth is frozen to the depths, unlike the Earth where humans live.

Even Surtr, the ruler of Muspelheim and the king of the fire giants, could not create fire here.

Some even say that they hate Niflheim, where their heat cannot reach.

However, in this land where even the lava was frozen, Kim Do-jin started a fire.

She also knew that it was the divine power obtained by killing Hephaestus.

But using it fully was a completely different story.

Do-jin used his power perfectly, and the scene was like a movie.

Since becoming an eyewitness to the myth, I have followed Dojin and seen many sights.

The scene where he kills Horus, the god of the sky, the scene where he persuades Athena and makes her join his side, and the moment when he saves Fenrir and subdues the god of the other world.

Everything was captured and recorded.

There were many moments where his wit shined, but in particular, Dojin mainly used tactics to confuse his opponents in a well-planned game.

Dojin’s fighting style was to finish everything before the opponent came to his senses, and to ravage the enemy playing on a perfectly created board.

I thought that was his strength.

However, the appearance just shown was of a different kind.

Truly overwhelming power.

As if he didn’t show it until now because he didn’t need to, he split the frozen ground and melted it with lava flames.

At first, when she heard Do-jin say he was going to Niflheim, she tried to stop him.

For a living person to go to Niflheim was no different from suicide.

A temperature at which humans cannot survive.

The dead who desire the lives of the living.

There are also many other monsters and traps that constantly change.

Hel, the goddess of the underworld who rejects living things, and even the frost giants who have recently been gaining ground in Niflheim.

No matter how difficult it was, going there alone was crazy.

Jormungand and Fenrir’s help?

This, too, was incomprehensible to her common sense.

That’s right too.

At least as far as she knew, there were more beings hostile to Fenrir and Jormungand.

Also, the frost giants are powerful in Niflheim.

She knew very well that she would not be able to easily win if she fought against those who roamed this cold land like their home.

No matter how strong the two spirits were, it was not easy to win.

That’s because Fenrir, who should be a strong force, has not yet fully recovered his strength due to the wounds he received from Decay in Elfheim.

‘I think the reason Hel is more hostile to us than necessary is probably because of those frost giants.’

Evil giants roam Niflheim, the land of the dead.

This is probably why Hel and the dead have stronger hostility toward the living.

However, Dojin ignited a spark on the ice of Niflheim.

‘We have accomplished something that even the gods would find difficult to accomplish.’

The common sense she knew about the mythical beings and the land called Niflheim was broken and shattered by a human named Dojin.

It was only then that Su-yeon Lee realized why she got the job of witnessing the myth.

‘I may really be seeing the beginning of a new myth… … .’

She had hopes that it would be possible with Dojin.

Suddenly she felt that she was no longer shaking.

She, who had been shivering from the gaze of the dead and the cold cold, was now following him just fine.

It was all because of the influence of a person named Dojin.

“So what do you plan to do now?”

Gunther asked while escaping from the waves of the dead and hiding in a nearby hill to re-equip his weapons.

“Because we caused such an uproar, the frost giants probably noticed our presence.”

“You mean frost giants?”

“okay.”

giant.

The power of each one was weak to be considered a spirit creature, and it would not be fair to call him a hero.

But there was no doubt that it was a mythical being.

Not all giants are gods, but some of them are certainly powerful enough to leave their mark on mythology.

In particular, in Norse mythology, there were many gods who were giants.

Famous people include the wise man Mimir and Surtr, the ruler of Muspelheim.

The giants continued to cause various conflicts and confrontations with the Aesir gods in Norse mythology, leaving a huge mark on them until Ragnarok occurred.

And among them, the giants living in Jotunheim were called frost giants.

After the Advent, a race that began to settle in Niflheim, where Hel was absent, and is increasing its power.

It’s not that I didn’t think about frost giants before coming to Niflheim.

While Hel was intimidated by the other gods of the underworld and went into hiding, the people who filled her vacancy were the frost giants.

In their previous lives, they had a history of perfecting the ruling system by suppressing the dead by force, and then helping the gods drive out Hel.

Her obvious enemy who keeps Hel in check in Niflheim.

“The frost giants made a fuss to see it.”

“You did that on purpose? “Why is it like that?”

“Because I have to get to Hel.”

“Are you saying you’re going to use frost giants to get to Hel?”

“yes.”

Reginleif, who was listening to this, intervened.

“It’s too dangerous. I think you’re saying this because you don’t know what they are… … .”

“I know. “What kind of beings the frost giants are and what meaning they have for Hel.”

“But you want to join hands with them?”

“You never said you would hold hands?”

“yes?”

Reginleif blinked.

“So, you’re going to fight them?”

“you’re right.”

I said, looking around at everyone.

“The name of the operation is ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend.’”

It was then.

thud.

The ground trembled lightly.

There was no way the still ground would tremble just because the dead were coming.

It’s a frost giant.

“The bait we’ve been waiting for is finally arriving.”

If you want to catch a fish, shouldn’t you first get an earthworm?

Fenrir rushed over and shouted.

-The frost giants are coming.

After hearing that, I told others.

“The operation is simple. All you have to do is hide and come out and attack when I give you a signal. “As loudly as possible.”

“All right.”

* * *

Frost giant.

A race of people with blue skin, over 3 meters tall, with forearms as thick as the waist of an average adult male, and with such great strength that they can fight by pulling out thick wooden poles.

They believed that they were descendants of Ymir, the creator of the world, and were very warlike people who believed that only their own race was superior.

Those based in Jotunheim attempted to advance to Niflheim after the Advent.

This was because they realized that Odin and the Aesir gods could not keep them in check as Hel’s absence and the gods of various myths became intertwined.

Gurd, a high-ranking warrior from Niflheim, was also an invader who came to conquer new lands.

Gourd was subduing the dead and being careful not to enter the fog of death, expanding the frost giant’s land little by little.

While on patrol, he happened to see red flames exploding.

Facing a scene that could never have happened in Niflheim, he urgently gathered his men and searched the area.

The extinct dead.

Traces of lava that can never be seen in Niflheim.

In Niflheim, where frost and cold were pouring down, there were few beings that could produce such a spark.

‘Has Sir Surt come to Niflheim?’

There were footprints that were too small to say that.

And the remnants of an unpleasant force felt.

“This is the power of Odin’s minions.”

I felt the power of Valkyrie, the direct knight of Odin, the leader of the Aesir gods and the eternal enemy of the frost giants.

So did the Aesir gods descend here?

‘No way.’

These were people who neglected Niflheim, dismissing it as a dirty land.

After the Advent began and the world was distorted, they were concentrating all their attention on taking over the newly created Midgard, so there was no way they would have come to Niflheim, the frontier.

So who?

It was a major variable that arose during the easy occupation of Niflheim.

“Gourde, what should we do?”

Gourde swallowed silently at the soldiers’ questions.

I wouldn’t have known it if I didn’t know it, but since I already knew it, I couldn’t ignore it.

“Trace. “We will deal with it after we find out who caused this mess.”

First of all, confirm your identity.

Negotiating or fighting him, that was the next story.

If he is a threat to the occupation of Niflheim, he will gladly kill the enemy for the king.

Gourde followed the footsteps with his soldiers.

And when the trace gradually became clearer.

“You came earlier than expected?”

They saw a human being so small that it was around their waist.

“He is a living human being.”

“Then is that a dead giant?”

“Are you trying to make a joke?”

“No, it’s not like that. “Because it’s strange.”

“what?”

“Why are frost giants who should be in Jotunheim wandering around in the Land of the Dead?”

Gourde’s eyebrows twitched.

“Humans are arrogant. Are you trusting and installing Valkyrie?”

“It’s not like that.”

he saw

The sight of a man who wasn’t even around his waist taking out a hammer.

“Before we talk, how about we test our skills against each other?”

Gourde felt a strange fear from that sight.

‘Why?’

Are you saying I’m only afraid of humans?
