NOVEL NEXT Episode 394 Treasure Vault of the Gods
A treasure chest full of the most mythical weapons in Asgard.
There is one guarding it.
These are Odin's rune words and long agony. And it was the product of transcendent black magic.
It was a kind of chimera, and its name was ‘Astel'. It was the guy named for protecting the treasures of the As gods.
Even if I stretched my magic for a moment and measured it, the rank of the monster was indescribable.
Jaehyun frowned.
‘Damn... This is not a good situation.'
Astel's existence is, of course, thoroughly hidden except for Asgard's gods.
The anti-Aesir forces, including Jae-hyun, were not even aware that such a threatening being was guarding the stone chamber.
Jaehyun looked up for a moment and saw a dog guarding the stone chamber below.
Like Garreum in Norse mythology, he was very large and stained his chest with fresh blood.
Garm was the dog guarding Helheim, and it seems that Odin created a being like this with him as a motif.
[What should I do?]
Kim Yoo-jung asked. Jaehyun couldn't help but think for a while.
‘It's not a big deal to subdue. The really big problem is the noise generated during the suppression process.'
This is where the dead stay. it's Valhalla
In Norse mythology, the main army of Einherjar and Odin is stationed. Any commotion here could have resulted in an instant encirclement.
[For now, let's silence the noise and get as close as possible.]
Kim Yoo-jung nodded to Jae-hyeon's telepathy and followed.
Jae-hyeon contrasted the figure of Gareum in Shinhwa more closely and found out that he was a bit bigger and darker.
Other than that, there were no other crops.
‘As expected, I have no choice but to bump into it.'
It was when I thought so.
“Oh Astel. You are also very sincere. Who dares to stand in your way so stubbornly that you are coming to rob Asgard's warehouse?”
I heard someone's voice. The voice was a little frivolous.
Jaehyun narrowed his eyes and hid in a corner. Soon, his body trembled. There was someone there that he had no choice but to know.
[......Thor. Hide your magical energy as much as possible and be careful.]
[...Yeah.]
Jaehyun immediately warned. A hammer with a short handle attached to the waist. I saw Thor wearing Mjolnir. He brought a large piece of meat and set it down in front of Astel.
“Eat a lot. It is red dragon meat.”
Astell approached Thor and immediately began to eat the meat.
It seemed like a regular thing.
“You must have been very hungry. Well, it can't be helped to maintain that size.”
Thor, who had been saying that, thought for a moment and then said.
“Anyway, that's very strange... I thought even Heimdall would die. I never thought I'd die from those comrades who weren't even opponents.”
Astell raised his head and chewed on the bone. Thor had his thick hands on his head.
“I don’t know if it’s dirty giants. At least to die to humans. It's not something you can easily understand. There must be something wrong.”
As Thor said, he added one last word.
“The most suspicious thing is Hugin... that crow. I will definitely catch that dirty back.”
After Thor had finished speaking, he was disappearing across the garden before he knew it.
‘Thor and the discerning gods of Asgard already seemed to know that Hugin had betrayed them. I got information from an unexpected place.'
Contrary to Jaehyun's thoughts, their bodies were wet with sweat.
It was because I was too nervous.
The two of them barely sighed. If it wasn't for the invisible robe and skill, there would have been a battle without a doubt being caught by Thor.
Maybe he died from a joint attack.
Thinking so, I felt a chill run down my spine for no reason.
After all, I thought that there is no human being who can remain calm in the face of the primal fear of death.
Jaehyun looked at Kim Yoojung. She also didn't look good.
It seemed that he was greatly shocked by Thor's rank.
[Are you okay?]
[It's ridiculous... It's completely different from Heimdall... How can you do that...]
Kim Yoo-jung sparsely said that. She was pale with fear.
Jaehyun put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down and pointed forward.
[I understand your surprise, but you have to move now. And... It seems like we have a chance.]
[...A chance?]
Kim Yoo-jung came to her senses and said. Jaehyun nodded.
[okay. It seems like an opportunity that can only be used once... How is it? Do you want to try it?]
Kim Yoo-jung looked in front of Jae-hyun's gesture. There, I could see Astel's eyes slowly closing because she was full.
It seemed he was going to bed soon.
Jaehyun smiled.
[There's a good skill at times like this.]
After getting as close as possible to Astell's nose, Jaehyun carefully stretched out his hand and placed it on his head.
Krrrrr!
Astell, embarrassed by the unfamiliar touch, made a sound, but it quickly subsided.
It was thanks to the magic that Jaehyun had activated.
―Active skill ?Sleep Lv 5?.
Sleep, a magic that grants a drowsy effect.
Although it is a basic magic, it exerts an almost invincible effect when used on a sleepy person. To Astel, who was sleepy right now, the effect of this skill meant that it was outstanding.
Kreur... Le...
Jaehyun's prediction was exactly right. Astell collapsed and began to fall asleep.
Jaehyun smiled in satisfaction.
However, he did not forget to add one thing to Kim Yoo-jung.
[No matter how much I put him to sleep, he'll wake up in less than 30 minutes. Before that, you have to rob the warehouse. Got it?]
[Ah yeah...!]
Kim Yoo-jung nodded immediately. Jaehyun nodded his head with a proud expression.
‘I didn't know there would be a time when Thor would be helpful in this way... but I'll use whatever is available.'
Jaehyun thought about that and immediately put the key he was holding into the stone chamber.
Deed deed...!
The sound never leaked out. It was the effect of magic silence. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Like that, Jaehyun and Kim Yoojung are the treasure house of the gods. In other words, I was able to set foot inside the place where Odin and the As gods lived.
[Papi. You keep an eye on Astel to make sure he doesn't wake up here. If anything happens, you must let me know right away. Okay?]
[Greung.]
Papi gave a short salute to Jaehyun. It was Poppy who, thanks to her growing up, learned how to answer quietly over her shoulder.
* * *
Stone chamber.
The inside of the place, which is said to be the treasure house of the gods, was truly splendid.
Numerous artifacts piled up everywhere. It was a level that was difficult to gauge the grade even at a glance. At least, there were a variety of weapons piled up, from S-class to mythical.
However, before coming here for the first time, Frey had said.
He said that he should never touch any other item except his own magic sword. If you do that, Asgard's security system will activate, so you will surely die.
However, it was not a big problem for Jaehyun. Stealing an item might be difficult, but copying it magically wasn't that difficult.
In the first place, the condition for copying arms was just touching it once.
Jaehyun had nothing to worry about.
The security system is activated when you go outside with an item. By exploiting the loopholes in the system, Jaehyun could get more than he thought.
After Jaehyun nodded, he looked around and touched the arms. Thanks to this, the number of weapons that could be copied continued to increase.
It's just that it's difficult to use it often because it's not engraved, but...
‘Because each weapon has its own characteristics. It's good if you can use it anytime. Nothing bad.'
Jaehyun thought so, so he didn't worry.
[By the way, where is Frey's magic sword?]
In response to Kim Yoo-jung's question, Jae-hyeon continued to look around and answered.
[Maybe I should go inside. Because the other guys say they can't even handle magic swords anyway.]
Because Frey can only handle his magic sword. He said that the other gods couldn't have installed a security device.
I heard that even Odin's hands would burn just by touching it.
In addition, magic swords are basically long swords, but can be used by floating in the air with magical power. It is said to have a rounded end.
Jaehyun started looking for such a weapon.
First the shelf, then the floor, then the wall.
About 20 minutes like that. It was the last time Jaehyun found the sword.
[Here it is. Frey's magic sword.]
On the wall where his gaze was directed, a longsword that shed magic that was almost awe-inspiring stood tall.
For convenience, it was said to be on the wall, but in fact the sword was floating in the air. A sword that floats alone even though nothing is supported on the floor.
Jaehyun reached out his hand as he sensed interest.
Kim Yoo-jung held her breath and looked at Jae-hyun's hand. It's not like I'm questioning what to do if it's not this sword.
It was just because I was worried.
It would be difficult if there was something strange hidden in the sword.
Contrary to his worries, Jaehyun had nothing wrong with holding the sword.
Frey had said that Loki's chosen adversary would be able to wield his sword, but apparently that was true.
The security system also did not work. First of all, Jaehyun put the sword in his inventory and prepared to leave the stone chamber again.
When I checked the time, 30 minutes had already passed. now there is no way I can only hope Astel didn't wake up.
Thinking so, Jaehyun and Kim Yoojung hold their breath and step outside again.
A shocking landscape unfolded before them.
There was a huge dragon yawning and making a tired expression, and beneath it was Astel, who was already covered in blood from him.
[What the hell happened...]
While Jaehyun was startled, Poppy looked back at herself as she lifted her foot in front of her.
After shrinking back to his huge size, he flew to Kim Yoo-jung and took her into her arms.
What is it?
How was Poppy able to kill him without a sound...
As Jaehyun's question deepened, a system sound was heard.
―Fafnir II absorbs the magic of Asgard and grows rapidly.
―Fafnir II learns new skills.
―The rank of King Fafnir II is upgraded to 《Myth》.
