Valhalla Saga

&

The battle was not yet over, although the performance was to endure the catastrophic king Hrumbark and spread the name of Idun.

It was because there were so many troops that both sides mobilized in the first place.

Almost all of the giants and magicians chose to flee. It was already a situation where the command system could not function properly, so it was a fugitive, literally a mess that fled to all sides, the Middle East Heater.

Some say the hardest thing in battle is retreat.

It was because we had to pursue the victorious enemy and pursue the troops appropriately.

Because the command system was broken, a proper retreat could not be established.

Deserters swung their swords at the runaway horses, and a unilateral slaughter unfolded on the battlefield.

The witches didn't stop to live. I trampled my fallen ally without hesitation. There are some who cross the running allies to buy themselves time to escape.

Giants were no different. Many of the horses were trampled to death by the galloping masses in the first place.

Taejo leans back inside the Black Dragon and looks at the battlefield as he leans back to his chair. It was already unilateral, so I didn't think I needed to fight ahead.

Taeho therefore took his hands off Needhog's mouse and keyboard and said.

“Needhog.”

“Yes, Master Tae Ho. ”

Needhog replies, staring at the monitor he just made. The monitor resembling the last monitor Taejo used shortly before his death was exposed to the battlefield.

Taeho consciously leaned back and spoke to Nidhog.

“Would you like to have a fight with Nidhog? ”

“Me or me? ”

Needhog, surprised, hurriedly turns to Taejo. Taeho nodded his head as Taeho smiled at the expression above, which was both agitated and oddly expected.

“Yeah, there's no need to get into fights. Just feel like you're scaring me. ”

“Oh, okay. I'll try.”

Needhog needed training for later. It wouldn't be too dangerous in such a high-powered situation, so Nidhog was the perfect opportunity to move around in the air of the battlefield.

Needhog tightly holds the mouse with one hand and puts the other hand on the keyboard. The mouse and keyboard were manipulated with clumsy gestures.

Of course, the efficiency was not good. Needhog didn't need tools to do this in the first place. For her to be able to control the black dragon with just her thoughts, the keyboard and mouse were just a ridiculous tool.

Because of this, Taeho tried to stop Needhog. However, Ku Hulin, who had seen the idea of Taejo, quickly said.

‘Leave it alone. ’

Why? ’

‘That's even cuter. ’

Kuulin said as if it were natural.

It was a cute Needhog, but he was even cuter when he tried to deal with the mouse and keyboard he couldn't handle.

‘Cute is the truth. ’

Kuulin nods again, but Taeho's eyes are already cold.

“Ugh · · It's hard to move. ”

Needhog's voice cries out in a timely manner. Kuulin said it was cute, but he couldn't help but be inefficient.

Taejo pulled Nidhog's arm naturally off the mouse and keyboard.

“Master Taeho? ”

Nidhog blinks again, surprised and asks. Taeho smiled and explained.

“Needhog, this is your body, right? Let's do it naturally, like we always do. Needhog has his ways. You don't have to imitate me. ”

“Okay, I'll do as Master Tahoe says. ”

Needhog nods again, leaning his back against Taeho's chest and closing his eyes tightly. You begin to control the Black Dragon, just as you did before meeting Taejo.

Movement definitely improved a lot.

Taeho looked up at Nidhog's figure for a moment and said to himself, looking up at the ceiling.

‘Kuulin. ’

‘Why are you calling me? ’

I hope you're well. Heda. ’

I wanted to see the two of them because I thought of them while making the golden apple tree.

I feel overwhelmed by the fact that I can't connect with Idun even if I use Idun's warrior.

Kuulin sighs for a long time and then looks cool as usual.

‘You'll be fine. Heda will be fine. Both in Valhalla. Master Skazaha will be fine, too. ’

Kuulin also wanted to see Skazaha. I wanted to see her safe.

But it was time to be patient. He had finally realized in the great war that there was nothing good to rush into.

Taeho was able to feel the heart of Kuhoorin. He shrugged his stiff shoulders a little more as if he was spilling.

"Aden Maha, Syria and Braki will be fine, right? I'm also worried about Ingrid and Las Griddo, Reginlaive, Gandur, Caldea, Hildegrid, Sigrun and Goodrun. So is Helga. How's Freya? Rollo and McLaren should be fine, too. ’

‘Hey.'

"Yes?"

"Just verse 1, verse 1. Why do you have so many people to worry about? ’

There was no end to what I heard.

Taeho shakes his head and replies.

‘If you're worried about Idun and Heda and Adenmah, that's fine. Kuhoolin-style garbage. ’

"You're a piece of shit, man. And aren't you worried about Ragnar and Merlin? Come to think of it, all but one Braki are women. This guy's a real jerk. ’

"It's Master Ragnar, Master Ragnar. I'm sure he'll be fine. If Kuulin hadn't stopped talking, he would have said Merlin's name. ’

‘Course you did. ’

And you ignore Rollo and McLaren? They're men, too, man. ’

‘It's not a man, it's a man. ’

Both of them were joking nonsense.

I wonder how long it's been since we've had this conversation. Needhog suddenly calls out Taejo.

“Master Taeho. ”

“Huh?"

“The raven speaks like Odin. He whispers to me that he wants to talk to Master Tae Ho. ”

Looks like he was talking outside the Black Dragon.

“Nidhog, wait a minute. ”

Taejo again placed his hand on the mouse and keyboard and triggered the dragon conqueror. As Needhog flinched and vomited a short elasticity, Taejo was able to recognize his surroundings as a black dragon again.

Idun's warrior, do you copy? ’

Odin's voice, as Nidhog said. Taeho responded with his mind as he replied to Kuulin.

I can hear you. ’

‘Yes, from now on, listen carefully to what I say. This situation has already won. The broken objects of the command system cannot be united, so they will never be a threat. But giants are different. We can't let any of them go. Go ahead and destroy their escape routes. Don't resist magic as it will guide you. ’

Taejo accepts Odin's magical power without resistance, just as he received the rune text. Soon, they reveal the direction to go from one corner of their head, as well as the giant space leap gate, their escape route.

‘I had a big ball in battle today. I ask you to finish.’

‘Bye.'

Odin has been disconnected. Taeho vomited once and fixed the mouse.

“Let's go, Needhog. ”

“Yes, Master Tae Ho. ”

Nidhog smiles and buries his back on Taeho's chest again.

The black dragon spread all four wings ahead of the giants.

&

Hela, sitting on a phantom horse, vomited an elasticity at the sight of a black dragon flying like an arrow.

“You've done a great job taming the Black Poison Needhog. ”

"Yeah, he's great. ’

Odin could not imagine the same situation.

It was Orlot who made the Ancient Dragon his ally.

And a lot has changed since then.

Without Needhog, we wouldn't have been able to finish this battle so easily.

There must have been a much greater sacrifice than now, and perhaps we could not finally defeat Hrumbark the Shocker.

Black Poison Dragon Needhog.

Ancient dragon with the roots of the world's water and life.

True giants, up to two kilometers long, had to be left on the roots, but the appearance alone was useful. If we do well, we'll be able to fight the World Wolves.

Odin pauses for a moment, and Helen opens her mouth cautiously. It seemed to be worrying.

“Odin, are you far away? ”

‘He is riding on Latatosk to the battlefield. They'll be here soon. ’

“I'm so glad you're okay. ”

Thanks to the warrior of Idun and Loki. ’

Without them, Odin himself would have died.

“My father also · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

‘Not yet. He should still be alive. Even I, who was eaten by the wolves of the world, am still alive. And. ’

Odin blurs for a moment. He has been a double spy for over a hundred years, being blamed and humiliated by all of Asgard.

Nevertheless, he never complained. I have not forsaken my loyalty to Asgard for a moment.

Odin felt a debt to Loki. There were so many things given to him.

‘I still haven't repaid my debt to him. So I cannot allow you to die. I will not allow it ’

Despite her insistence, Hela smiles at least a little. It's because I feel Odin's heart still thinking about Loki.

The crow sitting on Hela's shoulder twists its beak as if it were a glimpse. He flapped his wings and said as he flew.

‘I will be there soon. The warriors of Idun will return shortly. Join me in celebrating victory. ’

“I'll have a good drink ready. ”

The crow completely flew up. Hela looks back at the crow's flight for a moment. The army of the dead marches with a shout of victory.

&

The battle was over after nightfall in Nibbleheim.

It was Nibbleheim, a world where the sun never rises, but there was day and night.

The night was darker than the day, and the cold was stronger.

Taeho arrived at Helheim, Hella's abode, with a guide from a raven who could be Odin's identity.

Odin and Greer arrive early in the public garden.

Needhog, who was born to see flowers for the first time, wandered around in a strange manner. Fortunately, I was holding Taeho's arm tightly, so I did not fall or fall behind.

Hela welcomes Tahoe and Nidhog with a gracious smile. Odin, wrapped in a gray cloak, introduces Greece to Tahoe and Needhog.

“The warrior of Idun, this is Greece. Queen of the Dead, ruler of the dead from Nibbleheim. ”

“Greetings to Queen Helheim, the warrior Itaiho of Idun. ”

He lowered his posture as he did when he encountered Idun or Freya.

Greece was a goddess of many names, so it was never under Idun to discuss her status alone.

Greer smiles a little softer, whether she liked the way Taejo looked at her example. Instead of the mature woman's maturity or the old woman's freshness, she put the girl's freshness and virgin's liveliness in front of her, with a beautiful voice.

“Nice to meet you. I've seen your work. Thank you on behalf of the entire Nibbleheim for your extraordinary assistance at the right time. ”

It wasn't just words of gratitude. Taeho was able to feel Hella's sincerity.

“This is Needhog. This is my dear colleague. ”

“This is Needhog. ”

Nidhog, who was hiding behind Taeho's back, gives an awkward example of imitating Taeho.

Having already heard from Odin, Hela looks at Nidhog as if he was treating him like a sweet child.

“Nice to meet you, Needhog. I'm Greer.”

Hela lowers her posture to match Needhog's eye level. Needhog smiles broadly at the kind and friendly attitude of Greece, just like Tahoe and Odin. She was fearful of her inner Greece, like Latatosk.

“This is Galeon, my sidekick and Nibbleheim's greatest warrior. ”

“Greetings to the captain of Idun. ”

Galeon, who was guarding Hella's side, raises his hand to his chest and pays his respects. He was seeing the benefits of the Rune System, though he had not yet entered Valhalla.

"I think he belongs to the highest rank among the mid-level warriors. ’

He agreed with Kuulin's brief flatness and Taejo also set an example.

“Greetings. May Idun's blessings be with you. ”

There was no frowning because each other showed respect to the other. Odin raises his glass while everyone is looking good.

“Let's have a toast, since we're done. ”

At Odin's words, Hela turns the cup to you. Taeho considers giving Needhog a drink at the moment, but he decides to move on. It was only one drink, and Nidhog deserved a toast.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

After Odin's shipyard, everyone prospers. The cold honey liquor with a slight frost on the surface was so cool and sweet.

“That's weird. ”

But to Needhog, it was a strange drink. No matter how sweet honey wine was, it was alcohol in the end.

Odin suddenly calls out to Tahoe and Greece, while Ku Hulin glances at Nidhog's crooked head.

“The warrior of Idun, and Greece. ”

“Yes, Odin. ”

“The battle has just ended, but there is no time to delay. We should move on to the next step. ”

Hrumbark is dead and the giants are practically destroyed. The magical army was also abundant, so there was no risk of this for a while.

So now's our chance. I had to take my hands off Nibbleheim and reach for Midgard.

“I will gather the warriors of Valhalla, scattered to Midgard. Hela, in the meantime, gather an army of the dead and prepare to march on Asgard. ”

“I will.”

“Will you go with me to Midgard, the warrior of Idun? ”

“I wish. ”

Hela and Taejo reply as if flowing. Odin nods, still raising his glass and calling out to Needhog, who is drinking honey beverage carefully.

“Needhog.”

“Huh?"

“You stay here. ”

With Odin's calm words, Nidhog blinks. Then I dropped my drink in surprise.

“Don't you need Needhog? Useless?”

Needhog's big black eyes give him a fright. Odin quickly shakes his hand.

“It's not like that. Because you're too big to go to Midgard. ”

“Tu, you're fat? ”

Nidhog looks back at himself. Odin came out of nowhere, but Nidhog was serious. So Odin himself had to take it seriously.

“It's not like that. Listen to me carefully. ”

It was also a story I told to Taeho, not Ned Hogman. Odin looks up at the ceiling and says,

“A new battlefield has a doorway that allows Asgard to open and close at will. It is a measure to prevent the creation of unnecessary holes, and to dispatch Valhalla's warriors more smoothly. ”

It was impossible to completely surround Midgard with a duel.

That's why Odin decided to create a gap from scratch. To put it in the house, it was like putting a window for ventilation.

“But to prevent abuse by giants, we have limited the size of the entrance to the extent that one person can pass through. ”

It was a small passageway for a Giant as small as a timeline. A simple Giant could never pass through.

“Needhog's essence is fine. But we have to leave the giant behind. ”

Giant-Needhog, without the Black Dragon, was practically a burden.

There's nothing she can do in Midgard that can't fight or wield magic.

“Master Taeho. ”

Needhog grabs Taejo's arm. The parakeet speaks in a small voice.

“But I want to go with you. Can I come with you? ”

I didn't want to be left behind, but I was also afraid to become a lung. Taeho strokes Needhog's head.

“Come with me. I'll keep you safe, even if there's no giant. ”

It was the same as what I said to Aden Maha one day.

And Nidhog's reaction was much more straightforward than Adenmah's.

“Master Tae Ho, I love you so much! ”

Nidhog hugs Taejo. As Taeho clapped his back like he had no choice, Kuulin said in a sad voice.

‘Ah, how heartbreaking it is to just watch the Lamb fall into the devil's spell. ’

It was okay to let it flow, as it always was.

Odin smiles silently.

“The warrior of Idun, I won't stop you if it's your choice. Take care of Needhog. ”

“I will.”

“Hella.”

“Yes, Odin. ”

The conversation shifts from Taejo and Odin to Hela and Odin. Odin pulls out the small stick he gave to Taejo the other day and gives it to Greece.

“A machine that manipulates the runes of submission engraved on Latatosk's head. Watch and train Latatosk so that she doesn't feel differently. Please also take good care of Nidhog. ”

“I will.”

It was Odin who had been paying close attention to Latatosk since before the sweet Hellene Terra Tahoe arrived. She's smart, so she won't have anything to do with Latatosk unless you give her some useless cruelty.

“The cup is empty. Maybe it's time to go. ”

Odin raises his glass. Hela wants to fill her glass again, so she pauses for a moment and opens her mouth.

“Greece, I thank you for your constant loyalty to Asgard. You're Loki's daughter, just like my daughter. ”

Odin slowly opens his arms. Understanding this, Hela approached Odin and hugged each other like a father and daughter.

Odin blesses Hella's forehead and waits for everyone's cup to kick. I raised the glass high and sailed again.

“Come, Midgard. To gather the warriors of Valhalla together. ”

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

Everyone's glass is empty again. Odin greets Hela with his eyes and opens a magical door in the middle of the public garden. It was a passageway leading to Midgard that I had prepared.

Odin comes first. Subsequently, Taeho, who was polite to Greet Greetings to Greet Greetings, crosses the door with Nidhog.

Hela, who was escorting all of them, vomited for a long time. I slowly pressed my chest into my hands.

It wasn't because of Mystein that I told you to keep it safe until the time came.

What came to mind was not Odin's message, but the words of the youngest of the three yellow sisters, Skuld.

‘The man you and your destiny have not yet joined Asgard. Your fate is tied to the future. ’

My heart was palpitating a little.

Maybe the future that Skull was talking about was coming to a close.

And it was too much of a conjecture, but it was perhaps a brief encounter with a destiny that was yet to come.

It was not the fate of the lover they often thought of. Far from that kind of personal life, it was the fate associated with the whole of Asgard, just as it was with the firstborn, Penírna, and Jormungan, the second.

Hela vomits again for a long breath. Odin's magic door closes firmly one day.

Midgard. And Asgard.

Hela looks up at the sky. I clenched my fist and gently tapped my chest twice.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

When I was very young, I learned the art of Asgard from my father, Loki.

Hela turns away, ready to fight again for her father, Loki.
