A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

237. Hiking in Yggdrasil (3)

“Ouch! Look out! ”

The sharp voice of Latatosk circles the ears of Yooseong. As you turn your head, you see Nidhog breathing heavily. Something wasn't right.

Pa!

Yooseong quickly flew away using the Tallaria. At the same time, black venom shot out of Needhog's long mouth. It was an extreme poison made from Needhog's body. The identity of the poison was a poison so powerful that the powerful Eggsyll roots rotted and were stained with the poison created by Nidhog's poison.

Tsk, tsk!

Along with a creepy sound, Yggdrasil's branches and leaves begin to melt. The back of your spine is cooler as you watch it melt with fear of contact with poison. The melting speed was enormous and the power of the poison was enormous. The leaves and branches of Yggdrasil, which were stacked together and felt like a solid floor, quickly turned into a handful of poison.

‘Fuck……. ’

If you come into contact with that poison, your whole body will melt. Yooseong turns his head to look at Nidhog. Nidhog didn't care about Yooseong at all. Only thing Nidhog cares about is Hresbelg.

“Stupid lizard! Your eyes must be a trinket! ”

“Gaaaah! Die! ”

The two were busy fighting. Perhaps Nidhog's attack just missed one of his attacks on Heresbelle.

‘I wish I could just go to the fruit quietly like this. ’

It was Nidhog and Hresbelg who were distracted while they were fighting each other's battles for repairs, so it didn't seem like they'd get caught up in the fight if they didn't draw attention on purpose. However, if the tightest shrimp in the whale fight were as bad as the line burst, the asteroid's back could burst.

‘We have to be as careful as possible. ’

There's nowhere to go. We just have to be careful.

‘Isn't this why you have an invisible helmet? ’

Yooseong put a transparent helmet of Hades, Quinee, on his head. Perfectly transparent. Unless you dance right in front of me, you'll never get caught.

God's helmet! ’

The meteorite in Quinee was able to go smoothly towards the Fruit of Yggdrasil without anyone disturbing it.

“Got it!”

The meteor has successfully arrived just ahead of the fruit of Yggdrasil. From a distance, it looks too small to see what it looks like, but it looks quite mysterious from up close. Fruit of Yggdrasil glows red like apples, emitting a subtle golden glow around it.

Before I saw it with my own eyes, I thought it would be like the Devil's Fruit from a maternal pirate cartoon, or have a strange pattern or shape, but it didn't look like the usual thing.

Knuckles!

“Good.”

It was not difficult to pick the fruit of Yggdrasil. There was nothing to explain. I just grabbed the fruit and pulled it, and it fell naturally. Now all I have to do is go back.

Kuguaguaguawano!

But it didn't seem easy to get back to where the elevator was. It was because Nidhog and Hresbelg started a real fight. Until now, the battle had turned into a struggle between Nidho and Hresbelg, both of which had been floating in the air.

“Kuaak! I'll rip your wings out, chicken head! ”

“Quietly crawl the ground! You lizard!”

Boom, boom! Kuang!

Nidhog and Hresbelg are tangled up on the floor. Wouldn't it feel like this if there was a Monster War UFC?

Beat him with wings? ’

Hresbelg uses his wings to grip and slash Niedhog. The wings were organs that moved freely like that. It was not known as a meteor without wings. One thing was clear: Hresbelg was wielding his wings like a fist.

A one-piece, quick, lateral uppercut that fits directly into Needhog's face. Hresbelg gives headings to the stumbling Niedhog.

“The eagle is tough. ”

That's why I thought the iconic American animal was an eagle.

Needhog, however, was not enjoyed.

‘What a pair of cuffs. ’

All the attacks are authentic to the face, but Needhog is still intact. Nidhog avoids all of Hresbelg's attacks with glamorous wives, whether he has decided not to be a match anymore.

‘No, more than that, why are the monsters boxing? ’

Where the hell did they learn that skill? Suddenly, I thought of a game called animal control that I played in the entertainment room.

“What a fight? That's what they've been fighting about for the last 50 years. ”

Latatosk mutters next to him, not knowing when he got here.

“Fifty years? But where did they find such skills...? ”

In his question, Latatosk took out a book without a word.

"Where else did you get that book? ’

I don't know where that little book came from. I was curious, but I decided to move on. The cover of the book Latatosk took out said:

Combat fighter textbook.

“I found it in a dimensional gap! ”

It was an old fighting textbook.

I thought that everything was gone in the gaps between dimensions.

“It started with Hresbelg watching me read because I was bored, and then Nidhog stole the book and watched. ”

There was even a drawing in the textbook. Of course, the painting was drawn on a human basis. It was great that he learned skills like that by looking at the pictures drawn with human focus.

Phew! Phew! Puck!

A Needhog with short arms compared to H'Lesvelg's wings. Rich was short, but his strength was heavier than Hresbelg's, and his power felt great in one punch.

“Fight like a dragon... ”

A fighting dragon. It was cool, but I felt weird. I kept looking at the outcome of the battlefield, but I had to go back.

‘Surprisingly, this time, I won the fruit without any conflict. ’

I was worried that things wouldn't go wrong this time because it was basic to make everything complicated. I felt good.

‘It's time to return to Olympus and be finished. ’

To get to Olympus, we need to get back to the ground. It will be soon again if you take the elevator and sigh like when you came up.

“Latatosk, let's go. ”

“What? You're leaving already? It's about to get exciting. ”

Latatosk grumbles, chewing acorns like popcorn.

“I'm busy. ”

“Tsk.”

I kicked my tongue, but without any complaint, Latatosk followed me. Latatosk operates the elevator again with one hand on one side of Yggdrasil's body.

“I've been riding this all day. Not funny.”

Latatosk turned his head to Yooseong.

“So I'm not bored to hear your story on the way down...... I'm sleeping. ”

It was Yooseong who was sleeping after finishing getting ready to sleep faster than anyone else in case Latatosk talked to him.

Drum, drum, drum!

“He's got a snoring ring ring on his cheek. ”

In awe of the dragon's snoring, Latatosk leaned against the wall. There is no one to talk to, but talking to alone is not fun. I decided to close my eyes for a while.

* * *

Hiccup! Hiccup! Hiccup!

The ground begins to rattle. Yooseong woke up from the noise and vibration that only felt on the floor. Out the window, you see the face of a giant dragon. The yellow eyes stare down at you.

“Hiic!”

It was Needhog.

“Give it to me!”

“What, what? ”

“Give it to me!”

“Is this it? ”

Yooseong lifted the fruit of Yggdrasil. Needhog nods slowly.

“Why on earth? ”

“The fruit is mine. Give it to me."

“This is mine! ”

“It's mine! ”

Bang, bang!

After revealing his refusal, Nidhog started pounding on the window.

“Oh, shut up. My friend, when other people sleep, be quiet. Needhog again? ”

Latatosk woke up.

“Hey, squirrel! Do something about it! He's gonna break this thing! ”

“Of course. With a Nidhog personality, you can still break this. I think Hresbelg lost this time because he was chased all the way here. ”

Even though Nidhog is about to smash the window, Latatosk is relaxed.

“What does Nidhog keep asking you to do? If he's so obsessed that he asks for anything, it's okay to just give it to him. ”

“They want Fruit of Yggdrasil. ”

“Fruit? You must be hungry. Just give it to me. ”

“Give me something. I came all this way to get this. ”

If we go back empty-handed, we're finished. What are they giving us? I couldn't give it to you even if I was dead.

“Is that the only reason you're giving up your life? Fruit opens periodically. ”

“How much is that cycle? ”

“About a thousand years? ”

“That's what they call it. You want me to wait a thousand years? ”

I don't know when Odin will come for his neck, but what a thousand years.

“Is there no other way? Another way to get that lizard's attention! ”

“No eyes.”

Latatosk replied casually, chewing acorns.

“Only thing that can stop Needhog is Hresbelch. They both have the same skills. Nidhog won this time, but Hresbelg won the last time. Could it be possible for Hresbelg to come? ”

It means there's no way now.

‘Then there is only one way. ’

It splashes on the soles of your feet.

Tsk, tsk!

Needhog's claws eventually broke the window and the meteor leapt out through the broken window.

“Ah! Farewell, my friend! I'll see you next time! ”

Latatosk waves his hand to greet you, but he's not ready to answer. Needhog is closing in behind you.

Tallaria!

All I could trust was the thalaria Hermes gave me.

Yooseong wearing a thalaria was barely holding on as if he were caught by Nidhog.

Shit! When will it start working? ’

Bifrost, who has registered Olympus' coordinates, has still turned off the light. As soon as the light returns, we can scatter to Olympus.

“Hurry.... Quickly... Oh! Hurry up! ”

As he turns his head, Nidhog pushes his big mouth and tries to bite his ankle. It was not dangerous because it was still an accessible location, but it greatly increased the emotional anxiety.

“Please!”

Whoo-hoo!

Bifrost begins to glow.

“Yes!”

Meteor used Bifrost. The white light enveloped the body of the meteor.

“Farewell! Lizard!”

“Khh! Stop right there! ”

Yooseong moved to Olympus safely, listening to Nidhog's furious roar.
