Valhalla Saga

Chapter 33 - The Sword of Idun # 2

&

The Freya Force's fleet was one of the typical Viking vessels, Drakar.

This ship, also called LongShip, was very long in its name, and was very maneuverable due to its lightweight material and stable hull.

The warriors of the Freya Force tighten their sails and take their seats. One of Drakar's strengths was that he was able to row and maneuver on his own time.

Of course, it wasn't as common as Freya's ships to sail and Norman. Adenmaha points to the blue sail and says small.

“The wind is enchanted, yo. ”

It was a magical sail that was able to control the breeze that caught the sail up to the breeze, wind, and soft mountain breezes.

Drakar was a single-story vessel, so he didn't have a cabin or a warehouse.

The tent on the back of the boat seems to act as both a cabin and a warehouse.

“The commander's seat has been reserved at the innermost part of the tent. You can rest there at night. ”

Taeho nods moderately. The ship you were on was a military vessel. Moreover, all the Valhalla warriors were accustomed to living on ships. It was an outrageous act to be angry that the splendid cabin was not prepared.

‘Yes, since when do you live like that? All you need is a place to lie down. And isn't that great? You're the only man on the boat, and you don't have a wall. ’

Kuulin chuckles and gives you a gentle voice.

Taeho admired the fact that he was called the Prince of Light and kicked out his tongue, but he didn't say no.

It was Taeho and Kuhoolin who became friends for two years in the Shadow Tower. I was also used to playing with nonsense.

Meanwhile, Hildegarde commands the Valkyries and warriors to speed up the ship while Tahoe and Kuulin roam. You feel like a warrior's sabbatical as the fleet advances through the fog.

“Commander Idun, come this way. Let me tell you about the destination of this trip, Banaheim and the structure of the world. ”

When we first met, he was a Hildegarde, but now he was very polite, not only because he was the commander of the army, but also because of his attitude.

Most of the Valkyries I know have been building kites since the time of the lesser warriors, so this kind of treatment feels fairly fresh.

‘Very good, very. ’

As he listens to Kuulin, Taejo approaches Hildegard. Hildegarde sits Tajo and Adenmaha on chairs prepared near the mast and then begins to explain.

“Freya has ordered me to start with the basics. There's a lot you already know, but I hope you understand. ”

“It's good to reconsider. Please.”

“Thank you for saying that. ”

Hildegard grins, placing a thin plank of ash on his thigh. A pile of runes are engraved on the plank, and as Hildegard raises his hands, light begins to shine.

“As you know, there were ten worlds in the world, including Asgard. Erin, one of them, is gone, and now there are only nine worlds. ”

Hildegarde's voice was calm and gentle. Furthermore, hologram images were made on thin plates following her hand, as if she had come to the planetarium.

“Our world is called Asgard after the New World. And there are many small worlds in Asgard, including Midgard. ”

The hologram images began to take shape.

The colors and shapes were slightly different, but they all had something in common that they were round and flat.

‘Wonderful to see you again. ’

Heda explained the structure of the world earlier. At the same time, I was explained by watching the magical footage that Heda made. Astonishingly, Asgard was not an Earth-like planet known to Taejo.

A round star Earth in space.

But not in this world. People lived in a world like the world people had imagined before the Middle Ages, where there was a really flat land and an ocean surrounding it, and somehow there would have to be big elephants under the ground.

‘Fantasy indeed. ’

Moreover, such land was not one. Hildegarde explains again when several rounded lands find their place.

“The largest land is Midgard. ”

It was several times larger than any other land. On the edge of the world, the water was pouring down like a waterfall.

“On the right hand side of Midgard is Svard Alphaheim and di Belir, and on the left hand side is Alphaheim. ”

Each of the two round lands was distinct from the other.

Svard Alphaheim, familiar to Tahoe, used to own half the land of Nibelir, and neither of them had a river nor a lake, although there was no sea as big as Midgard.

Alphaheim, the land of the Light Fairies, was a large, shining island on a still lake. It was very beautiful to shine with a subtle light.

“Nibbleheim, also known as the Order, lies beneath Midgard. Some people call Nibbleheim the underworld because of this structure. ”

Nibbleheim was a little smaller than Midgard. Because Midgard covered the sky like a lid, Nibbleheim was a world without sunrise all day long.

That's why Nibbleheim is called Frost Land. ’

“Greece, Queen of Hell, in the heart of Nibbleheim, is loyal to Asgard, unlike her father, Rockina, her brother. It's her army that protects the defenses of small parts of the world. ”

Taejo remembers the soldiers of the afterlife he saw at the Black Fortress. Unlike the Valhalla warriors, they were full of faces and suffering.

“Asgard rests on top of Midgard. ”

Asgard lies at the end, not at the center of Midgard.

Humans were unable to see Asgard firsthand because it was not within reach of human footprints, and the size of Asgard was much smaller than Midgard.

“Connecting these small worlds is the world's water wicdrasil. ”

As Hildegarde teased his finger, the milky path continued between the worlds described so far.

“The world waters of Wigdrasil are also the pathways that connect the small worlds. Humans in Midgard think the world's Wygdrasil is a giant tree, but it's only half true. ”

Hildegarde, this time, lightly draws his finger from top to bottom. A large tree was formed that pierced Asgard, Midgard and Nibbleheim.

“There is indeed a giant tree connecting Midgard, Asgard and Nibbleheim. But this is just a realization of part of the world's water, Wigdrasil. ”

Odin's well-traveled spring, or the evil dragon Needhog's nest, all touched the tangible roots of Wigdrasil.

Unlike Asgard, Erin looks at the videos, her eyes glowing because there was no other small world. It was because she already knew, but was surprised to see it again.

Hildegarde laughs a little and teases if he was happy with his reaction. Then a new lump of land appeared somewhat distant from the small world that had been created so far.

“Banahaim is the furthest thing from Midgard in the small world. Furthermore, it's connected to the world's water, Wigdrasil, but its connection is more unsettling than anywhere else. The analogy to a route is that it's a harsh sea of constant storms. ”

The path of light that connects Asgard to Banahaim is so dull and blurry.

“Because the connection is unstable, like other small worlds, the door of space is inaccessible. because if you get out of Wigdrasil, you can literally become Mia, who wanders around the globe. ”

That's why the Freya Force is moving directly through the ship instead of through the space door.

“But it's also not easy to get to a boat like this. because of the sea of Imir on the way to Banahaim. ”

It was a story I overheard.

Taeho recalled what he learned from Heda during his time as a lowly warrior.

“You mean the Ancient Giant? ”

“Yes, he is truly one of the great giants, the material of which the gods made Midgards. ”

Midgard's birth shared its history with the death of imir. It is because Odin, king of the gods, defeated Imir with his brothers, Billy and Bae, and built a place in Midgard with their corpses.

“As you know, in Midgard and elsewhere in the small world, magic is born in the filthy blood of Imir. The sea of imir is a place where the blood of imir is particularly plentiful, where powerful things, called the shadow of imir, appear. ”

Hildegard pauses and looks to the path of the ship. The landscape around me suddenly changed as my stomach swayed a few times. The sky became darker, and the fog around it became darker. The weather has also gotten much cooler.

“I entered the sea of Imir. This area is inhabited by powerful magical objects called Kator, which is safer to navigate. ”

“Why?”

Adenmaha blinks and asks. Hildegard smiles again, his curiosity filling his eyes and says politely.

“It's because the caterers' appetite is special. ”

As Hildegarde mocks his hand, the small worlds that formed on the plank fade away, and he remembers the image of a bee-like dark and wicked creature.

“Cator stock, which looks like a giant bee, is a polyp. I'm not interested in non-polyp opponents, so you don't have to worry? ”

Hildegarde's voice became a mess.

It was not just because Athenmaha's face turned white when he heard that polyps were stocks.

Hildegarde rises to his feet. And the Valkyrie, who was on the forefront just in time, shouts.

“Cathorda! Battle stations! ”

“Oh, why?! ”

Hildegarde was embarrassed, of course. She didn't know that Aden Maha was a polyp. For her, Adenmah was only the new Valkyrie of Idun's army.

The warriors of the Freya Force hurry up and draw their weapons. Beyond the mist, you hear the sound of a swarm of collapsing wings.

Athena gasps and trembles. Even so, the white face was whiter.

Imir's shadows were not ordinary magic. Even though they were born to eat the polyp, their energy was not excessive, but a curse on the polyp.

“They're coming from above! Get ready!”

S.H.I.E.L.D. Wall! ”

Warriors and Valkyries shout. At the top of the boat, huge wasp-shaped cartors begin to pour out as if they were loading loads.

Adammah, who looked up at the sky reflectively, solidified. I thought I had to use magic somehow, but my body wouldn't let me. She's been through a lot so far, but I can't help it this time.

A kathor is plunged down vertically. By their standards, it was to unleash the furnace, but to poison Athenia.

Athena was unable to use magic. I couldn't feel his eyes, I couldn't scream.

Hildegard grips his teeth and raises his sword. But kathor was too fast. The vertical downward thrust reminds me of a similar lightning bolt.

Die.

Ademaha thought so. But at that moment, there was a hand that held Athenia's waist. Not only the sword of Hildegard, but one that swings faster than Carter's speed.

Kator, who was falling vertically, splits in two. As it unfolds, it falls to either side of the boat and falls into the sea.

Hildegarde opens his eyes. I couldn't connect with the sight that was happening in front of me.

I didn't see it.

How the attack took place, when the attack began.

The same is true of Ademaha. No, she wasn't the kind of situation that would concern her with an attack in the first place.

Fastest sword.

The courageous knight, Karlsted, looks down at Athenmaha, holding the sword swift Glasbeel in one hand, which was used to defeat the lightning striking neon killer. He tightens his arms around her.

“Don't worry, Adenmaha. ”

Taeho swings his sword again. A sharply stretched sword lowers the body of one Carter.

It's a downstream Wind Slash.

During the two years in the Shadow Tower, Taejo changed. Adammah realized that. Furthermore, Taeho wasn't just getting stronger.

Adammah began to choke on the other meaning. Then he wedged a wedge into his heart like that.

“I'll protect you. ”

&

‘Ahhhh! It gives me goose bumps. I'll protect you, or I'll protect you. Rrrrgh! I thought this was supposed to be a human line of dialogue! My hands and feet are growling! Time and space are growling! ’

Kuulin cries out in agonizing voice.

It seemed really painful, not just to mock.

The battle with the kathors didn't last very long. It's because Kathor, surprised by Taeho's overwhelming dance, gave up and fled early.

However, Taeho's battle is not yet over. Taejo blushed his face in the fierce blaming of Kuulin.

I said it without thinking at the time, but now I come to think of it, because I am very disgusted by myself. If I had a duvet, I wanted to wear it a few times.

“Oh, she doesn't say anything. ”

Kuulin snorts as he barely speaks.

‘Ademaha won't say anything, Ademaha. ’

There must be more clicks in his eyes than anyone else.

At the depths of the tent, the heartbeat of Adenmaha seems to have reached this far.

"Look at Freya Corps boys' reactions. Hah, I'm embarrassed. ’

Taejo flinches his gaze and looks around. However, I liked the unexpected gaze of Taeho. Among them, there was a stare that was explicit.

“I'm fine.”

The courageous Taejo reacts slightly, and Kuulin is embarrassed, but only for a moment.

Whoo, you know who this is all about, right? Thank the teacher. "

Taeho turns his head instead of responding to the rapid shift. It's because Hildegarde has returned to investigate the situation of the warriors.

She looked at Taeho with loving eyes, as she did when we first met at the banquet at night.

“I was amazed at your skill. ”

I knew Taejo was strong indirectly, but I never thought he would possess such a great sword.

With a rune accumulation system, it was possible for Valhalla warriors to become explosively stronger in a short period of time if they gathered only the runes well. However, the only things that could be enhanced with a rune were their basic abilities, such as physical and mental strength.

It has not been a year since Hildegarde brought Taejo by his hand to Valhalla. But I never thought you'd be so good at swordsmanship. It was truly unimaginable.

Meanwhile, Taeho saw Hildegarde expressing his pure appreciation and came up with a strange thought.

If it had been as I had heard at the banquet at night, Taeho himself would have been a warrior of the Freya Force.

It was a family territory, but if it were, the Valkyrie closest to Taeho himself would be Hildegarde, not Heda.

Of course, Taeho's imagination stopped there. It was Taeho who did not belong to Idun's army, but who did not want to imagine or imagine himself.

The goddess of life and youth.

Kind and compassionate Taeho, his goddess.

Then, the last time I saw Idun's face was already two years ago.

For the past two years.

I've known Idun for the past two years.

“Ahh! Ahh! ”

Hildegard blinks in surprise as he vomits a sudden scream. The same was true of the Valkyries and warriors of the other Freya Force onboard the ship.

But Taeho couldn't care less about them.

“I forgot.”

I was supposed to meet you after the party.

During the banquet, you come to the Freya Force settlement and continue on your way to Banahaim.

In other words, after coming out of the Shadow Tower in the last two years, I left without saying a word to Idun.

‘It's over, it's over. I'm going to be sick.’

Kuulin grabs his tongue and says joyfully, and Tahoe is unable to deny his words.

‘Let's not just sleep from today. ’

Sleeping was Taeho, who was afraid to dream.

&

Freya's fleet flows over the waters of Imir.

A new thread of destiny was created on the spindle.

Wool, the eldest of the three yellow sisters, spins the wheel. Today's iconic Verdant reads fate by placing a finely woven thread on a fine finger.

The future is not fixed, so not even the three yellow sisters were able to read the thread of destiny perfectly. It was merely Mimir's inference of the future based on the information given.

The school unravels Verdant's rough threads again. Over and over again, only the ominous future appeared.

Midgard.

And bananaheim.

The school, which was breaking through the thread, stood up. Ulde and Verdant did not ask the school where they were going. The future has always been the way it should be.

“The warrior of Idun. ”

The things I told Heda have not changed since quite a while ago.

Some of the threads of destiny still reach Idun's legion.

The small school leaves the residence of the three yellow sisters. I used the swan's wings I received as a Valkyrie to reconcile into a beautiful white swan.

It was towards Banahaim.
