Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem
Chapter 75.1 Frigg Fights With Loki
-Friggâs POV-
Frigg bowed reverently to Loki and smiled a bewitching smile that would have made anyone fall in love with him. Loki cringes slightly at the bewitching smile. Friggâs beauty was so bewitching that it was hard to believe she was a person. Lokiâs instincts sensed something ominous, but he ignored his instinctâs warning.
He ignored it. If he had heeded the warning, something might have changed. But his fate was sealed.
âFortune will never fall from my handsâ
[Friggâs Hand].
Frigg utters the chant in a beautiful voice that all things can hear, and moves one hand in a fluffy dance. Sparkling golden particles danced in the labyrinth, and the space made a cold, snapping sound.
âHmm? What now?â
Loki looks at Frigg with amusement. Seeing his smug attitude, Frigg giggles amusingly and clamps her mouth shut.
âHeh. That was my Seize magic to help beginners.â
âBeginnerâs remedy?â
If you donât understand it, itâs just to raise the titled beetle monsterâs mouth. Itâs the end of the story. It doesnât matter if itâs known.
â I prepared several things for leveling up. One of them, Friggâs Hand, prevents metallic, fast-footed enemies. I wanted to make sure we could beat them. The production company was smart.â
âWhat do you mean?â
Loki is increasingly confused. He still believes in his superiority. Heâs still showing his composure.
No, this attitude is probably the most appropriate for Loki, the [Trickster] of The Night of Magic. Frigg laughs at his foolishness, feeling a little pity for him.
âYou will die. Thatâs what it means.â
At Friggâs words, Lokiâs golden exoskeleton trembles, and he laughs.
âI see. So thatâs what Duke Kanna has decided to do. Surely a dead man has no mouth. You thought it was better to kill me. Ahahaha, but I didnât think you were foolish enough to think you could kill me. I guess Iâll have to tell you what happens to anyone who ever thought the same thing.â
âPfft, just like the template. Thatâs a line Iâve heard before. The mysterious magician who likes to stir up the story. A character who likes to have fun. A line that doesnât feel very original, Loki.â
Frigg replies with a cold smile to Loki, who laughs in overreaction, clutching his stomach. Well, in a way, heâs an easy character to understand. Itâs a figure worthy of [Clown].
Loki, offended by Friggâs attitude, points the tip of his sword at him. He opens his mouth in slight irritation.
âYouâre the only one. I know youâre a magician who has the confidence to defeat me, but Iâm sorry. Iâve got the form of the mythical monster [Hercules Knight] now. I wonât be easily defeated, okay?â
I wonât lose, says Loki playfully. He may be auspicious with his words, but he has no intention of losing. Itâs so pathetic that Frigg canât help but laugh.
âYes. Yes. Itâs too pathetic, so Iâll tell you, Clown-san. Itâs not the Duke of Kanna who wants your life.â
ââ¦â¦ What?â
Loki stops laughing at the unexpected line. That would be true. The only people who know about this labyrinth are the monster users he just killed and Duke Kanna. Loki did not expect other forces to appear.
âI want your title. Lokiâs title is [Trickster]. Letâs see, your real name is Takanashi Saeko-san.â
âWhat! Why did you say my name!â
Loki, or Takanashi Saeko, who had overcome his spare attitude, shouts in astonishment. He hadnât expected that she knew his real name.
For Frigg, it was a simple matter, since she had seen his real name in Muninâs analysis. She had read all his levels, histories, and titles.
âItâs a pity Takanashi. I could have played with you without the hawk, you know.â
ââ¦â¦ Looks like Iâm going to have to kill you.â
She guess he had stopped playing pranks and became serious. Saeko emits an aura that seems to weigh down the air. No longer worthy of being called Loki, Frigg also pulls a jeweled dagger from her item box.
âYour true form is known to two people in the original story. Thatâs why itâs good. From now on, even if your daughter plays Loki, if someone knows her true form, they wonât turn the tables on her. Theyâll look for you, the poor female detective who has disappeared, right?â
Even if the identity of the unintentional young lady is revealed, she can still get away with saying that sheâs Loki. The reason is that Loki frequently transforms into a user-friendly person. It must happen a lot that she transforms into a recovery magic-using young lady.
Because as the young lady said, in the game, she had battles with Loki, and among her various transformations, she often transformed into Sena and healed her wounds.
âI donât understand why I guess. You seem to know so much about me that itâs sickening. Iâm sorry, but Iâll have to check who is behind you.â
âOh? Itâs not very classy to check up on a woman, Saeko-san.â
Loki grew impatient and decided that she would catch the bewitching beauty in front of her. She knows too much about herself. Not only this woman but there must be someone behind her.
.
[Thunderbolt Strike]
Raising her sword, Loki slashes at Frigg with a lightning flash. The lightning-fast sword strike passed through Friggâs legs in a split second.
This is a nasty martial art of the hercules knight. The great swordsman is a master of the lightning attribute and uses a martial art that cuts through its enemies with lightning speed.
Lokiâs eyes widened as she turned to Frigg, who Loki slashed at her leg without even reacting, and was about to give her a smile of amusement when Lokiâs eyes widened.
There was Frigg, not a scratch on her. She had indeed cut off this womanâs leg. Loki is dismayed that she should have felt that response, but she quickly readies his sword again.
[Thunderbolt Sword]
The sword trembled and emitted lighting, piercing Friggâs body. That magic could have easily killed the old magicianâs high apprentice. She look at Frigg, thinking that this would have done some damage.
âCut, lightning. Itâs a simple monster. Are you sure itâs a mythical monster? Itâs too weak.â
Frigg hadnât suffered a scratch, after all. She patted her clothes with her hand as if dusting them off.
âNonsense! What kind of magic trick is this!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
â[Clown], right? Think about it?â
The trick is simple. Frigg had awakened the rusty ring that Shin gave to her, and she had turned it into a dimensional ring.
[Ring of Dimension: 100% increase in all-powerful attribute power. Can nullify one attribute other than the all-powerful attribute when used].
Using this dimensional ring, she nullified the slash attribute. At the same time, Frigg used the best support magic [Thunder Barrier], which can nullify only one attribute magic.
After observing hercules knightâs battle for a while, Frigg had predicted how Loki would react. Of course, she had no intention of telling her that. Lying with a calm expression, Frigg was fighting Loki.
