Valhalla Saga

Chapter 41 - Highest Branch # 7

&

“Master Tae Ho, I love you so much! ”

Needhog, who had left his keyboard and mouse, rushed to Taeho first. However, there is a hand that moves as fast as a bird that snatches its prey. It was adenma.

“I told you to separate the time from the place, right? ”

Adenmaha, who stopped Nidhog's hug by pulling on Nidhog's clothes, narrowed his eyes. This was just the end of the battle, and Odin and Verde Polnir should be arriving shortly to talk about Asgard.

And most of all, the habit of hugging anywhere needed to be fixed.

However, Nidhog blinked a few times at Adnemaha's instruction, then said with a big smile again.

“Then Aden Mahara! ”

“What? This is real! ”

“I like to buckle up. Cute.”

“Antal? Hey, where did you get that? Where are you touching?! ”

Adenmaha, who was held in Needhog's arms, raises his voice, rumbling.

And there was a man who looked at the scene with a sad look.

‘I wonder why, I usually see it with joy, but I can't help but cry today. ’

Thankfully, Taeho was the only one who could hear Kuhoorin's sagging voice. Hreresbellg, who doesn't know Kuulin's own way of doing things, looks at Taejo while looking at Nidhorg with a mischievous face.

“Leader of Idun, a predecessor to the great hero. I'd like to talk to Needhog for a moment before speaking in detail. Are you okay with that?”

Odin and Verde Polnir were about to arrive. Taeho turns to Odin for a moment, then nods.

“If you like Nidhog, that's fine. ”

“It's okay. I've always wanted to talk to Hresbelg! ”

Needhog exclaims happily. Ardenmaha, who had given up the struggle in her arms, lay limp. Unlike Athenmaha, who was powerless to look like this when tempered with the image of a goddess, Nidhog was also powerful when he was essence. It was a natural result.

Hresbelg sighs once. I changed my face instead of continuing to show grief. It was the tallest branch of a king's face.

“Verde Polnyr. ”

As soon as Odin and Verde Polnir arrived, Hresbelg said. Verde Polnir, who measured his will with his eyes and tone, bows his head and pays his respects.

“Yes, my king. I'll be ready.”

Verde Polnir begins reciting the incantation in a complex Demibeast formation. Hresbelg told Odin.

“Odin, I'll take care of this one first. ”

“So be it. I'll wait. ”

Odin, the magical god, was able to see at a glance what magic Verde Polnir was preparing for. I accepted Hresbelg's request without much concern. From now on, what he was trying to do was helpful, but it shouldn't be a distraction.

Hresbelg told Nidhog again.

“Nydhog, Verde Polnir, has the ability to read the memories of his contacts. May I see your memories? ”

Needhog blinks at the polite question, and turns around and looks for answers.

Taeho nods slightly, and Athena whispers in a naïve voice.

“You want to do it, or you don't have to. ”

The choice was always up to him.

Needhog nods for a moment and releases him from his arms. You face Hresbelg with a slightly tense face.

“It's okay to remember. What are we gonna do? ”

“All you can read is what comes to mind on the surface of your consciousness. So think about Latatosk. ”

“Okay, I'll try. ”

Nidhog, who closed his eyes, began to think hard about Latatosk. Then my eyebrows turned first, and soon I became depressed as if I was crying.

For Verde Polnir, this look of Nidhog remained unfamiliar. Slightly embarrassed, she slowly approaches Needhog and grabs her arm.

Hresbelg grabs Verde Polnir's arm again. Verde Polnyr was used as a vessel to see Nidhog's memories.

It didn't take long. Approximately twenty minutes later, Verde Folnier, who was covered in sweat, opened his eyes with a tired face. Her eyes were filled with grief and compassion instead of embarrassment.

Hresbelg was no different. He gently stroked Needhog's head with a bunch of shrugs.

“Needhog, that must have been hard. ”

“I'm fine now. It's Master Tahoe, Brother Kuulin, Aden Maha and Odin. ”

Nidhog laughs. He leans against his head, a little as if he doesn't hate Hresbelg's big hands.

“Well, that's great. ”

After rubbing his head a few more times, Hresbelg turns to Odin. Instead of sadness in his eyes, he had stubbornness.

“Odin, I'd like to take care of Latatosk's affairs before we discuss the alliance. Will you wait?”

“I will.”

Odin accepts again with pleasure. Everything was in order, so Odin seemed to have to deal with the Latatosk problem before talking about alliances.

Hresbelg's giant flaps.

Headed to the outskirts of the tallest branches, the place where Latatosk was curled up.

&

Hresbelg's march was never secret. When the wind swept through the sky and the earth, I could see the king of birds coming from afar.

Latatosk curls up and trembles. As the sound of Hresbelg's wings grows louder and louder, the screaming of Latakx grows louder as well.

I felt like running away. But my footsteps do not drop. It's because Odin put up all kinds of money before he left.

Death approaches and there is no escaping.

Latatosk sweats like rain. And finally, the king of the birds arrived.

“Hee hee hee! ”

Latatosk sighed and curled up in a huge shadow that covered the sky and the earth. I dared not face the white eagle looking down from above.

But it was impossible to turn away forever.

“Latatosk.”

It was Hresbelg's call. Latatosk slammed into it with a loud clap, and soon it struck its head. I screamed like hell.

“I'm sorry! I'm sorry! No, it's not my fault! It's your fault! ”

Fear and anger coexisted on Latatosk's face. He stares at Hresbelg and wails.

“You wanted it! Needhog is a terrible, evil creature! Your enemies are powerful! That's why I did it! I just said what you wanted to hear! ”

“How dare you! ”

Verde Polnir is furious. But Hresbelg was different. He still hasn't lost his cool. There was no slight shake in Verde Polnir's eyes as he reached out his big hand to stop it.

“Latatosk, there's something you're mistaken about. ”

A calm voice from the sky silences Latatosk. Ratatosk felt horrified, even though violent killing and anger were not young.

Hresbelg's voice continues.

“It is true that the script wishes such things. It is clear that we want the enemy of destiny to be a vicious, powerful, and evil worthy of defeat. However, there is one fact that does not change. ”

The nature of sin.

The biggest mistake Latatosk made.

“It is true that you have long despised the throne of the highest branch. ”

I did not force him to tell lies.

What Hresbelg wanted from Latatosk was true information about Nidhog, not a false story to satisfy vanity.

Latatosk took many things in return for telling him Nidhog's story. He enjoyed riches and movies in the highest branches for almost a thousand years.

“And one more thing. ”

His voice made me angry for the first time. And it was natural.

It was also Hresbelg's own fault that he was fooled by Latatosk's lies. It couldn't be driven entirely by Latatosk's fault.

But from now on, the story is different.

He hated injustice and worshipped justice, wanting to resemble the warriors in the palace and the great heroes. Even if it was a natural trait.

Because of this, Hresbelg was furious. He expressed even more anger than the fact that he had despised himself.

“Why are you bothering Needhog? ”

The voice is cold. It is like a cold fire.

Latatosk couldn't even breathe properly. I couldn't even throw up this time.

“You had no good reason to bully Needhog. What did you gain by humiliating her? other than fulfilling your low desires. ”

I was just reading fragments of memories. But it was horrible and horrible. Some might say it was just a childish prank, but Hresbelg didn't think so. It was a brutal harassment that lasted for a thousand years.

The act of enticing and joking with desperate hearts who only look at themselves.

It was unacceptable. Hresbelg opens his energies at once. The entire highest branch is shaken as if in response to the king's wrath.

Latatosk barfs at the creaking sound. All I could do was that.

Die.

Now I'm really going to die.

Latatosk was devoted to evil. What did you do so wrong? Why do I have to die like this?

“You can't kill him! ”

That's when I heard his voice. Needhog. She hurriedly grabs Hresbelg's arm, then bows and pleads.

“Joo, you can't kill him. No. Help Latatosk. Please.”

Needhog was crying. It was hard to explain, but Latatosk was precious to him. For a thousand years, Latatosk was the only one who came to Nidhog for whatever purpose.

Hresbelg looks at Nidhog with his sad eyes. Odin adds a voice.

“Killing Latatosk is the opposite for me as well. It's still useful. ”

There was also something to find out.

Hresbelg nods. Needhod and Odin already knew how to stop themselves.

“You deserve to be torn to shreds by sin that has long overpowered the throne, but I will delay your execution for now. First, I'll lock you in a brig. ”

Verde Polnir followed orders. As she blows the horn, giant birds fly in and bind the latatosk, dragging it straight into the depths of the highest branch.

“No! No! I don't wanna go, Needhog! Help! Help! ”

Latatosk's cries grew farther and farther. Nidhog sighs. Hresbelg's big hand rests on his head like that.

“Needhog.”

Nidhog raises his head and looks at Hresbelg. Hresbelg said to the one who followed his destiny:

“That doesn't change. Instead of thanking you for saving his life, he's probably blaming you. You said it was all because of your roots. ”

There were those who remained the same in the world. Over the millennia, the essence of Latatosc, which plagued Nidhog, was like a rotten cesspool. It was impossible to open him up.

“Know · · · · · ”

Needhog mutters with a gloomy face. Needhog knew. So I had to shed sad tears.

“Yes, if you knew. ”

Hresbelg rubs his head a few more times and spews his breath long. Once again, I face Odin and Taejo as kings.

“That's a long story. Now let's go back and talk about the alliance. ”

Keeping promises.

Hresbelg's giant rises to the skies again.

&

The story of the alliance was no longer than I thought. It's because Hresbelg suggested taking a break first.

The Asgardian takeover was not the start of the siege. Even Nibbleheim and Midgard had to work together, so Odin gladly accepted his offer. You let the ravens loose to spread the word to Nibbleheim and Midgard.

Taejo crouched down at the inn set by Heresbelle. The view from the room with the very high ceiling and the large terrace was truly fantastic, but could not be enjoyed properly.

‘Yeah, it's time to take a break. ’

I've been running ever since I fell at the roots.

And finally, we reach the stopping line. You have reached the turning point of the Asgardian takeover.

There was a tremendous amount of God power consumed in the battle against Hresbelg, but Taejo felt like he was about to fall asleep because of the mental fatigue he had been trying to ignore.

Taejo lies on a bed in the middle of the room. Instead of going straight to sleep, I dug up Heda's letter for a moment.

The story of Idun and Heda.

A handwriting of two people filled with worries about themselves.

Heda believed he was still alive. I was desperate. And it was the same with Idun.

Finally, I was able to go to save two people. I didn't have to worry about the two of them.

‘How are you today? ’

I could hear Heda's voice. I thought of Idun's gracious smile.

Nidhog glances at the reef from afar. Needhog, sitting at the entrance of Taeho's room, muttered with a gloomy face.

“Heda is too strong. I don't think I can win. ”

I don't know if it's true that I won or lost, but I felt that way. You hear a voice right next to you, shrunk your shoulders with a sad face.

“And what about Ademaha? ”

“Ademaha · · · hmm maybe we can win. ”

“Fair enough?”

“Ugh, no, no, no, no. Not worth it. Not worth it. I'm gonna say no! ”

Needhog, who was answering his head unconsciously, quickly stood up and denied it. But it was too late. Sitting crouched down next to Needhog, Adenmaha vomits an encouraging voice, guiding the answer with a gentle voice.

“Will you do it? This is real!”

“It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!”

The war of the dragons restarted.

Usually, it was Kuulin who heard the sound and made a joke, but this time it was silent. It was because I was thinking of the only teacher in the world.

Taeho slowly closes his eyes. Najjik said, beating his chest twice.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms. ”

And to Idun and Heda.

Three days later,

Black Viper Nidhog and King of Birds Hresbelg leave the highest branch and head for Midgard.
