Chapter 183

Episode 183 Fafnir (2)

Fafnir.

Jaehyun aimed his sword at the monster that appeared in front of him.

Two dragon swords.

This will give you a huge advantage against enemies.

‘No matter how strong that guy is, he’s a dragon beast. There’s not much chance of him showing enough power to overwhelm two Balmung.’

Balmung is an S-class artifact that adds 300% damage to dragon monsters.

Even more so if there were two such swords.

It might be easier to deal with even an S+-class monster.

[Kahah ……!

]

With the dragon’s cry, the golden pile collapses as it steps on it.

It was truly spectacular.

“As in the myth, he seems to be a guy with a lot of money.”

Balak clicked his tongue and murmured.

With him, hot heat rose from the ground.

Kugoong!

Soon the gold melted and golden molten iron gushed over it.

Taat!

The three jumped quickly and avoided the rising magma column.

A pit with a diameter of slightly more than 2 meters was formed, chilling their conversation.

“That guy. I guess you’re thinking of melting us all down?”

Jaehyun sneered and put strength into the hand holding the sword.

said Balak, catching his breath.

“I’m going to get his attention. In the meantime, you two attack Fafnir.”

“It’s good. Please don’t die.”

“That sounds funny.”

With Jaehyun’s agreement, Balak quickly jumped forward.

All three of them were veterans who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

Objectively, the ones who can generate the greatest firepower here are themselves and Camilla.

Now Balak’s judgment was a major one.

‘Camilla is a combat mage. Even if it’s not as good as mine, the amount of deals is explosive. The estimated damage is more than Balak holding the dragon slash.’

A chance to see for yourself the skills of one of the world’s greatest wizards, Camilla.

Jaehyun felt his heart pounding in his chest.

Those standing shoulder to shoulder with him now were S-class raiders.

The best stars he thought of before returning.

like that. It was at that time that Jaehyun was lost in thought for a while.

Koo-goo-goo-goo!

Fafnir opened his mouth wide and suddenly fired a breath.

An attack made of molten iron, as if made by melting gold, flew towards Jaehyun.

―Active skill «Absolute Calculation».

Pachang!

It was a strong attack, but fortunately Jaehyun couldn’t be damaged.

absolute operation.

It was thanks to the power of a skill that turned all magic into nothingness.

“You broke the breath?!”

Camilla was horrified to see that, but continued casting.

A breath that breaks and scatters like polygon fragments.

On the other hand, Balak, who ran forward, also closed the distance with the enemy and activated the season.

Spaw! Spaw!

A state of attacking an enemy by mixing several blades, leaving stab wounds.

Jaehyun was unknowingly admiring his restrained swordsmanship.

‘In terms of swordsmanship, it’s almost on par with Heimdall.’

Jaehyun was involuntarily admiring and did what he had to do.

―Active skill «Leap in the air».

Jaehyun shouted as he quickly closed the distance with Fafnir.

“Camilla! How long does magic casting take?”

“Twenty seconds!”

Camilla answered right away.

20 seconds though. This is quite a long time.

It’s probably hard for Balak to endure alone.

‘Furthermore.’

This heat is dangerous.

Having reached a conclusion, Jaehyun quickly stretched out his hand and deployed his mana.

―Active skill 《Frozen Earth》 is activated.

The ice made by Jaehyun falls on the floor where there is no space to tread on due to the pillar of fire.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The ice expanded its range, cooling the surroundings while filling the hole in the floor with magma.

It made a way for the two of them to travel comfortably.

Magic to assist Camilla and Balak’s movements.

“now!”

That moment.

I heard Camilla’s voice after the casting was over.

Jaehyun once again activated an air jump and kicked the air.

Balak also raised his sword vertically and took a defensive stance, then kicked the ground and stepped back as if being shot.

At the same time, Camilla’s magic poured out.

―Active skill 《Aqua Punishment》.

Aqua Punishment, one of Camilla’s trademarks who is proficient in all elemental magic.

True to its name, Punishment of Water, it was a skill that boasted the best deal among water-attribute skills.

Magic that creates long spears made of water to attack enemies.

It was also the first time that Jaehyun had actually seen it.

‘It’s also great. It’s magic worthy of the world’s greatest wizard.

But I can’t lose either.’

Jaehyun straightened his sword and poured the maximum amount of mana he could at once.

The magical sword that ignited in an instant flies straight into the enemy’s heart.

Awesome!

Jaehyun’s balmung was accurately shot at Fafnir’s body, which had lost its heat due to the Aqua Furnishment.

Goo Goo Goo!

Vibration echoes and the cave shakes as if it is about to be smashed.

The ground cracked everywhere on the floor, and the overflowing magma began to subside.

That moment.

A sentence that should never have leaked out of Balak’s mouth as he watched Jaehyun and Camilla from behind.

“This… isn’t good at all.”

It was strange.

Kurr……!

Despite the attacks of the two, Fafnir was still alive.

Jaehyun gritted it.

‘It was definitely an attack with the power to blow away more than half of the guy’s physical strength. But Fafnir is too fine.

As if it didn’t take any damage at all.’

And that is.

“It must mean that the area to attack is not good.”

“Wait what do you mean? The wrong part to attack!”

Camilla asked.

Jaehyun didn’t answer, but his face seemed to have realized something.

yet.

“Assist from now on.”

Jaehyun jumped up in an instant and moved to the beast’s close range.

He approached Fafnir’s feet before he knew it and made an attacking motion.

―Active skill 《Ice Edge》.

hooked!

with skill activation.

The shards of ice that rose up hit the enemy’s wings accurately.

That was the moment.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!]

The light returned to the dragon’s eyes, and the voice began to be heard.

[I have to have gold… I have to have more…] A

voice that sounded like scratching with iron sent goosebumps all over the three of them.

The system intervened at the same time Well.

―Fafnir’s true power blooms.

―The battle enters Phase 2.

“what?”

Jaehyun stopped walking for a moment with a puzzled look on his face.

He frowned and listened to the sound of his voice.

[Odin… I hate… your filthy name…!]

Jaehyun gritted his teeth.

Odin.

Is that guy’s name coming up here?

* * *

Taat! Taat!

With two leaps, Jaehyun quickly stepped back.

[Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!

roaring roar of fafnir,

‘Damn it…… Phase 2.’

Jaehyun frowned.

Magical power pouring from Fafnir’s body. This was far beyond what humans could endure.

However, there was an issue that made reproduction more difficult than this.

It was the relationship between Fafnir and Odin.

‘Odin and Fafnir…… It’s likely to be related to the story of Andvari’s ring in mythology.’

Andvari’s ring.

This was a special artifact that could make gold out of items that a dwarf named Andvari had.

However, there was one problem with this object.

It was a very big flaw that those who wore the ring would fall under the curse.

Jaehyun recalled the time when he obtained information about Einherjar in the past.

At that time, he had read all the Norse myths in the Central Library of Miles.

As a result. I could also come across the story of Fafnir and Odin.

‘Fafnir. The existence that turned into a dragon after facing tragedy due to Andvari’s ring given by Odin and Loki.’

“Anyway, it seems that the myth is twisted this time too.”

Jaehyun recalled the story about TRP in the theme dungeon in the past.

tirp. Unlike the original myth, he was forcibly exploited by Thor and even kidnapped his younger brother Roskva.

Situationally, it is highly likely that Odin and the Aesir gods attacked the Fafnir family this time as well.

“I think I can talk. I will ask you one thing.”

He looked up at the huge dragon in front of Jaehyun’s eyes.

“Have you been used by Odin? All of your family?”

[Human… is it…? How is this place……]

The words continued infrequently. Fafnir shook his head with a headache.

[okay. Died…… My family was killed by Odin… he…!]

“As expected.”

Jaehyun felt the unusual feelings of Fafnir.

A clear feeling of anger.

It was wearing him out.

Jaehyun added quickly.

“I will release your restraints. In addition, I will avenge your family. So…”

[Odin… I hate… Odin…!!]

However, the conversation didn’t continue there.

Fafnir quickly returned to his pupil.

‘shit. Is it brainwashing magic?’

Jaehyun clicked his tongue and put strength into the hand holding the sword.

“hey! Jaehyun Min! What did you just mean by that? Did you have a conversation with Fafnir?”

Balak’s voice interrupted from behind.

Jaehyun tilted his head as if it was strange.

“……Didn’t you hear what he said a while ago?”

“I heard nothing but Fafnir’s howling.”

“Neither do I.”

Balak and Camilla looked at Jaehyun and asked, as if they couldn’t understand the meaning.

‘It seems like I’m the only one who can hear him.

……Well, it just went well.’

It was quite dangerous to open up information about God to others.

After making a decision, Jaehyun twisted his lips at Fafnir’s magical power, which gradually grew stronger.

I don’t know the exact circumstances behind it, but at least it is certain that I was playing with Odin’s trick.

Even if not an ally, an opponent who is never an enemy.

‘It’s happening again. As expected, Aesir is full of disgusting people.’

Himself and Hrungnir. And this time to Fafnir.

Odin was only fulfilling his own self-interest, regardless of race.

“If you don’t stop yourself, I will stop here.”

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… Odin……!]

Jaehyun ignored the screams and immediately floated into the air.

He didn’t forget to pay attention to Balak as well.

The roar of the dragon he was facing now was on a different level from that of an S-class boss monster.

In order to break through the attack, they needed the support of two people.

“I’ll cover you this time!”

With her words, Jaehyun and Balak simultaneously ran toward the enemy.

Camilla used all of her attribute magic to contain Fafnir’s attack.

Various attacks using wing claws, as well as a roar that stiffens on hit.

Until the breath there.

Every attack narrowly missed Jae-Hyun and Balak, creating a momentary gap.

“Opportunity comes only once. As you can see from a moment ago, his weakness is not his heart.”

“Then where are you? do you know?”

“no. But you’ll find it soon.”

―Activate the active skill 《Magic Power Detection》.

Meanwhile, at Jaehyun’s words, Balak immediately nodded and leaped.

Although it was a short time, Jaehyun’s skills were clearly confirmed.

For now, I have no choice but to believe that he can find weaknesses.

‘It’s annoying to think I’m being swayed by Min Jae-hyeon…!’

Thinking so, Balak raised his sword.

Tsutsut!

With the sound of clashing magical powers, his sword completely disappeared.

Balak puts all of his body’s magical energy into his sword.

―Active skill «Intangible Sword Type 2―Phantom Sword» is activated.

Balak’s sword floating in the air creates a strange afterimage.

shouted Balak.

“Weakness…! Where are you?”

“forehead. To be precise, it is the ring that is embedded in it.”

Jaehyun’s words dropped, and Balak, who had reached the enemy’s nose before he knew it, swung his sword.

Hwan sword.

It is a skill that creates multiple afterimages and cuts enemies in succession. It was by far the strongest skill among Balak’s single dealing skills.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

[Kahiah … !!]

Intangible sword without shape continues to cut the enemy’s forehead.

A sword that rips through a dragon’s vitals dozens of times in an instant.

However. Even with all his might, Balak’s expression was not good.

[Creu…….]

‘Damn it…… Shallow!’

It was only one.

If only one more hit, it could have been pierced.

However, Fafnir’s outer shell was harder than expected.

It was a level that could not be penetrated by anyone who had at least the same level of swordsmanship as his own.

It was then.

“Move.”

Jaehyun passes by himself as he descends and heads towards the enemy’s forehead.

Seeing this, Balak gritted his teeth and shouted.

“Flee now! It can’t be penetrated with normal attacks…”

“I know.”

―Active skill «Intangible Sword Type 2―Phantom Sword» is activated.

Jaehyun’s eyebrows went up. Balak’s eyes widened.

‘That’s… an intangible sword…?’
