The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 9



Only Krnovel

Episode 009

That time when Kim Do-jin fell asleep for a moment.

Without realizing it, his body was fighting fiercely against the hydra’s poison that had seeped into it.

Although it was only a small amount, it was Hydra’s poison that could kill a god even in a small amount.

Even though some of it had been purified, the residual heat of the surviving poison was gnawing away at his body little by little.

The fact that some of the purified poison survived and seeped into his body may have been due to the thought of the Hydra that had died on him.

However, Kim Do-jin was able to resist the poison that kills even gods, and there were two reasons why.

One is the poison resistance of the ‘nine-headed viper’ obtained from Hydra.

Because it was a skill obtained from Hydra, it had greater resistance to Hydra’s poison.

And another thing was none other than Kim Do-jin’s own willpower.

His unwavering determination to return from a terrible future and take revenge on all gods.

[New Slayer’s History Book Lv. 3 is activated.]

[Resists the poison of Hydra, a divine being.]

And the skill he possessed, history books, added to his power.

Chiiik!

Before Kim Do-jin knew it, his body was getting hotter.

A fierce fight for survival.

It was about an hour later that his body, which was as hot as fire, returned to its original state.

The poison that had seeped into his blood vessels escaped through his pores, and in the process, all the wastes that had spread throughout his body melted together and escaped.

At the same time, changes began inside the body.

The change was not dramatic enough to appear in the system message.

However, little by little, Kim Do-jin’s body was changing.

Regardless of the level in the history books, Kim Do-jin gradually became stronger.

Unfortunately, Kim Do-jin, who had fallen asleep, did not notice the change in himself.

* * *

“Kwaaaak!”

“Save me!”

“Why, why are you doing this… .”

When I opened my eyes, I could hear the cries of people struggling from all directions.

These were the apostles who survived the final expedition.

The moment when Zeno, the god of the other world, died and the gods of humanity revealed their ambitions.

‘Are you back?’

At first I thought it was a dream.

But it was too vivid to be a dream.

Each of their screams was filled with resentment and anger.

I put my hand on my waist to pull out the cotton.

‘doesn’t exist?’

There was nothing where Nameless should have been.

no.

Everything was broken.

These are all weapons prepared in preparation for the betrayal of the gods.

“Have I lost all my weapons?”

Eitri, who taught me blacksmithing in my past life, rose from the ground.

He had already turned to stone, and tears were dripping from his eyes.

A teacher from a previous life who was completely turned into stone after taking revenge on his younger brother.

He was glaring at me with unfocused eyes.

“I lost my family, I lost my teacher, and now I have lost my last gift. “You didn’t protect anything.”

“Master.”

“I curse myself for thinking of you as my disciple.”

When I reached out to Eitri, he disappeared into a handful of sand, as if the business was over.

At that moment, Lee Hyun appeared before my eyes.

-The loser has appeared again.

His eyes were shining brightly, as if his body had already been eaten by the Creator God.

I got goosebumps all over my body from the voice that showed no emotion.

“Creator God… .”

-It’s nice to have the guts to come back again.

You have to find a weapon.

In order to defeat him, I needed a weapon that would never break.

However, no matter how much I searched, I could not find any weapon that could be used against him.

The Creator quickly jabbed the spear into my chest.

Phew!

“Wow!”

There was a huge hole in my chest.

same.

It’s the same damn memory I felt before returning.

-You can’t beat me.

Can’t win?

“Don’t be a damn thing.”

I came back to win.

I came back in person to fix the past of helpless defeat.

“If there is no way, we will make it. If there is no way, we will find it. If I can’t close the gap with you no matter how hard I struggle… .”

I grabbed hold of the Creator God’s spear that pierced a hole in my chest.

Phew!

One step, two steps.

I approached where the guy was.

So close that you can even feel your breath.

I glared at him and spit out the words.

“I will get closer to you even if it means destroying my body. “You damn son of a bitch.”

It was not for the grand purpose of saving humanity.

Because I found out their evil intentions.

I couldn’t stand by and watch these guys who deceive and swindle people live happily ever after.

Especially if the person being stabbed in the back is me.

You won’t get hit twice.

I fed the fist potato to the god who stabbed me in the chest.

-It’s still the same, you guy.

With those words, the Creator God disappeared.

Right in front of my eyes.

“Dojin.”

“What are you doing? “Don’t come in quickly.”

“mom… ? dad… ?”

“brother! come fast! “The food is all cold!”

“Heejin?”

I could see the inside of the house where the family was together.

This too is a dream.

Because dead people can’t come back.

My entire family died in a fire accident.

The death of my family was an opportunity for me to start resenting God instead of believing in him.

“Come out!” hurry! Heejin! come out!”

I know it’s a dream.

I wanted to save them.

I wanted to live at least as much as in my dreams.

But my body didn’t move like my mind.

Meanwhile, flames soared around the families who were waving their hands, burning the house and their families.

-Quaaaaa!!

A terrible scream was heard from the flames.

The last sight of my dying family.

“Huh!”

I got up from my seat.

“Heo-eok, heo-eok.”

It was a terrible nightmare.

The nightmare showed me one by one the things I could not protect.

My family, the teachers who taught me, my beliefs and goals.

As if to remind me that I lost everything.

“Are you asking for revenge?”

I clenched my fists.

He clenched so hard that blood flowed from his white-faced fist.

“I know even if you don’t tell me.”

Even now, it’s so vivid that I remember it when I close my eyes.

So I have no intention of sitting down.

“We will overcome it somehow.”

No matter what hardships await ahead.

As I came to my senses, I began to feel a terrible stench coming from the room, assaulting my nose.

“what?”

No, it wasn’t the smell coming from the room.

Sniff.

It was my body odor.

“This… .”

Only then was I able to confirm that my poisoned body was fully healed.

Did the poison and waste products from the body escape in the process of resisting the poison?

I remembered the second skill I registered after catching the hydra, the poison resistance effect of the nine-headed viper.

[Nine-Headed Viper – Grade A]

[Effect: Increases resistance to poison. The probability of becoming addicted is greatly reduced.]

[This is a registered skill. 2/2]

I think it’s thanks to this.

I was glad I registered it just in case.

I have been using it a lot ever since I made the sword.

Although it was diluted, it withstood the hydra’s poison, so it was guaranteed significant resistance to poison.

By the time I got used to the smell to some extent.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

The sound of a hammer being struck was heard in the distance.

It was a sound coming from the blacksmith shop.

It was the sound of Eitri’s forge, which had been dead for a long time, coming to life.

“You’re working on it.”

“Thanks to someone who created the blue fire, my passion soared for the first time in a long time.”

Eitri was pounding a hammer while sweating profusely.

Every time his muscles twitched, the hammer sparked.

Kang! Kang!

I waited for Atri’s work for a while.

Chi-ik!

Eventually, time passed and Eitri, who had finished soaking, looked at me while wiping away the sweat.

“It’s all done.”

Where Eitri pointed, there was a single dance that was completely completed, even the handle.

The only longsword in the world, Sokmu, made to my order.

The handle made by the dwarven craftsman Eitri fit my hand perfectly.

It couldn’t have been better than this.

An eerie blue sword body and a light brown handle.

The sword that had become a complete sword was sheathed.

“I saw him while sharpening his sword, and he was more unstable than I thought. So he prepared another sword just in case.”

He handed me a new sword that he had prepared in advance.

[Sword of the Lonely – Grade A]

[Description: This is the last sword made by a dwarf who lost his brother before he lost his will. It is firm and upright.]

It was a completely different style of sword than Dokmu.

A simple longsword without any finesse.

However, the power contained in this sword was anything but ordinary.

I could guarantee that the sword would never break during a fight.

“Are you giving me this?”

“okay. Use it only when dealing with random mobs. “It doesn’t have any special abilities, but it is guaranteed to be sturdy, so it will be quite useful.”

“thank you.”

In an instant, I acquired an S-class and an A-class weapon.

One of them was the weapon I really wanted.

These alone were worth visiting Eitri.

After receiving the sword, I looked at Eitri and said.

“I’m going to leave now.”

“Well, I’ve finished my business, so I should go.”

“You’re not surprised.”

“I already knew. “You came here to get a sword.”

“Aren’t you going to hold on?”

“Why am I holding you back? “The disciple who said he would avenge my brother on my behalf.”

Eitri put down the towel that wiped off his sweat, sat down on a chair, and asked.

“Are you planning on catching Hephaestus right away?”

“Not right now.”

“I’m thinking of increasing my strength.”

“yes. “You have to have a minimum body.”

At those words, Eitri looked me up and down.

“okay. “With a body like that, it’s obvious that you’ll die before you get to God.”

I laughed involuntarily at his grumpy words.

I remembered the first time I became close to him in my past life.

My teacher and one of my few helpers.

“Are you planning on catching a monster?”

“yes. “I plan to hunt other things as well.”

“It looks like you made a big decision.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Then I guess I’ll have to run the blacksmith shop alone from now on.”

Eitri took a deep breath and straightened his beard.

“Are you going to be okay?”

“okay. I will be able to run the blacksmith shop by myself. The blue flame has established itself, and as long as we don’t extinguish it, we will be able to continue making weapons at a similar level to before.”

“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”

“Okay. Everyone has their own path. And it’s not good to see humans living in the dwarf world. “If I make a good sword, I’ll hand it over to you, so come visit me sometimes.”

Eitri said, looking at the blue flame.

If the bellows does not continue, the flame will go out. The blue flame won’t last even a month after I leave and it will lose its power.

Even though she knew that, Eitri was planning on sending me away.

“It doesn’t matter if the flame fades. Just smoke it again and that’s it.”

Eitri must have sensed my concern, so she spoke bluntly on purpose.

I know.

That he never completely got over the grief of losing his brother.

He forced himself to pick up the hammer in order to forget his anger and his desire for revenge.

There is nothing I can do for such a teacher.

Just to get his revenge.

“I’ll come back when I’m done.”

As I lowered my head, Eitri frowned.

“But what is that smell?”

“yes?”

“Your body smells bad? “Did you wash it properly?”

“It probably smells like the hydra’s poison is draining away.”

“Ahh, tsk tsk. If you go out like this and say you are my disciple, I will not be able to raise your face. Wash before you go. “There is a bathhouse.”

Is it that bad?

Sniff.

I can’t fly anymore.

“I don’t know?”

“Hurry up and wash up, you bastard. “I think my nose tasted like I drank hydra poison yesterday.”

Because of Eitri’s harshness, I washed thoroughly and came out.

“Well, I’ll bring Hephaestus’ head back soon.”

“… I get it.”

That expression.

I have seen similar expressions in the past.

It was an expression that forced one’s sorrow to be swallowed.

I think I developed a love for it in a short period of time.

Since they misunderstand that I am Brock’s disciple, they probably don’t want to see their younger brother’s disciple killed by God.

That may be why I scolded him to go and wash up.

But I can’t back down.

I had to move forward.

Because that is my ordeal.

“Then I will go.”

After saying hello to Eitri, I opened the gate again and left Nidavellir.

* * *

“Here it is.”

Hephaestus ground his teeth as soon as he saw where Peripetes’ body was.

“You son of a bitch.”

But his anger was not directed at his dead son.

Hephaestus was glaring at a sword placed next to his son, Peripetes.

Blacksmith’s Wrath.

It was a weapon made entirely out of the anger that arose on the day his ex-wife, Aphrodite, had an affair with Ares, and it was the blacksmith god’s greatest failure.

“Why is this here?”

“Well, that goes well with us too…” .”

The guild members were embarrassed by the anger of Hephaestus, the guild leader and god.

As a blacksmith, it was the most humiliating and shameful weapon, so it was hidden deep in the Abyss where no one could find it.

There was only one person in the world who could and would take out something like this.

“Ares, you son of a bitch… .”

It was clear that the bastard who boasted about being the god of war had done this. Because he’s the guy who goes around bragging about his and Aphrodite’s affair.

The moment I saw the sword, logical thinking disappeared and anger toward Ares filled my mind. Although there were some parts that were illogical and took a leap of faith, Ares had already been confirmed as the culprit in his mind.

The death of Peripetes, a failure, was not a reason for Hephaestus’ anger.

Because he had long since forgotten the existence of the son he abandoned.

However, it would be a different story if he had killed the son he had abandoned as a result of his failure.

This was a mockery.

And it was an insult to himself.

“You piece of trash! “You let me go when they took my wife away, how dare you!”

Now even Zeus will not be able to intercede for us.

“I will kill you.”

The mountains trembled, and the earth boiled.

“Wow!”

“Oh my god. Ugh… .”

Several guild members who were hit hard by his anger fell down and vomited blood.

Either way, Hephaestus glared at his apostle and opened his mouth.

“Let’s go to the Pantheon of Ares right away. “Bring your tools.”

He limped over and grabbed his weapon.
