Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 292

292fury

‘It's not here.’

[…is it.]

‘Please tell me more about this place. A temple built inside the body... … . What on earth are you doing here??’

[hmm.]

Musin seemed to choose his words for a moment and then explained..

[Ymir’s monks still remain on the current continent.?]

‘A monk of Ymir? Uh, I don't think I've heard anything in particular..’

[These are people who wander the North, worshiping power. Of course, they may have forgotten their roots. Because it was a long time ago... Maybe you only remember your mission now.]

I only remember the mission.

There was a group that came to mind when I heard those words..

A group that wanders the north aimlessly and hunts only strong creatures..

‘There are hunting peoples who risk their lives to hunt. [Frozen Hunt]... They are famous even in the North..’

[It's them.]

‘Are you sure you just explained this? Plus, Frozen Hunt isn't just made up of giants..’

[Since a lot of time has passed, the standards for accepting members have probably also changed. Also, it is not strange to confuse mission and purpose. Perhaps they have forgotten their origins and other past events.…….]

‘…….’

Why are you suddenly saying this?.

Just as I was wondering, Musin appeared again from the Seven Deadly Sins Sword..

I looked at the frozen world in the form of a whitish spirit body..

[eternal winter.]

‘yes?’

[Or Ymir’s disguise. This place is a place of trial.]

‘Camouflage. Then, to get out of here, you have to go through Ymir's rectum.-.’

[No such institution exists. Ymir is a being that does not need normal physiological activities..]

‘…….’

[This is a so-called sacred place where only giants recognized by Ymir can enter. Is this the gateway that those who worship strength pass through? … . If you overcome the ordeal, you can gain unprecedented power, but if you fail, you die..]

I was slightly silent..

So, does that mean Ymir swallowed the warrior he liked with his mouth??

After passing the ordeal, the stomach vomits out, or else it is digested.?

Perhaps because it was an ancient event, there were some aspects that were difficult to understand with modern sensibilities..

‘What exactly is that ordeal??’

[I don't know either. But I know the key.]

‘The key?’

[Picking up the holy relic ‘Mjolnir’ somewhere in the temple..]

‘Mjolnir? It's a sword?’

[It's a hammer.]

‘It seems very heavy..’

[… That weapon only recognizes the direct lineage of the giants, Ymir, as its owner. It's not something you can handle just because you're strong..]

‘aha.’

It means that it is a giant version of the holy sword that only the chosen warrior can draw..

If it's this classic, it's actually easier to understand. Because it’s not much different from the fairy tales I saw countless times as a child..

[Let's go first. Because now I have no choice but to hang on to that weapon. If you search around here, you'll find it..]

‘I agree, but I can't leave my senior here alone. Let's wait until it happens.’

[There is no time to waste... I can't help it.]

‘…….’

I know time is running out.

much better than martial arts.

But who has the least time here? Now that I think about it, how long was I passed out?.

What caught my eye at that time was Ramon’s pocket watch..

Did you say that was also a sacred relic??

That mysterious clock seemed to function in this place where time was distorted..

I carefully opened the lid so as not to wake Ramon and checked the time..

“…….”

More time passed than expected.

It's already been twelve hours since we started.

So, Ramon's lifespan is only about five or six hours?.

“Ugh…….”

Then Ramon opened his eyes..

“young master……?”

“Woke up?”

“This is…….”

Ramon's face, which had been looking around with a blank expression, soon became stiff..

“No way, I got caught in a blizzard and got out of the cave - ah. Then there's no way I'm still alive..”

“…….”

Perhaps because he had just woken up, his stream of consciousness was similar to mine..

I explained most of my findings to Ramon in detail..

Of course, most of the information I heard was from Musin..

Ramon was so out of it that he didn't specifically ask about the source of the information..

However, my face hardened when I heard that it was not easy to leave this place..

“That's a big problem.…….”

“okay. And it's not the time to say this, but I'm sorry.”

“yes?”

“It happened because of my judgment. It would have been right to retreat there instead of rushing in to take down the priest..”

I admit it.

At that time, I was impatient, as if I was being chased. Even though there were so many uncertainties, we were blinded by our obsession with results..

It can't be anything other than embarrassing..

“It's a consequential story. It's okay. And if you ask the reason, it's because of me.?”

“What are you talking about?”

“If I continue like this, I will die the fastest..”

“…….”

“It's not just you. All other clan members also made their moves based on my remaining time. It's a bit arbitrary, but I'm glad it is. Everyone is in a hurry because of me. Now, even if I die, I have no time left.…….”

“senior.”

“Just kidding..”

I looked at Ramon smiling and smiled..

“What on earth is that smoke bomb anyway??”

“ah. It was pretty plausible, right? As you can see, I don't have a high combat ability. I had no choice but to use various tools to survive..”

“aha.”

“At that time, I had a master, so I used something that only blocked the view, and there was also something with poison in it. There are also gunpowder bombs that can catch fire just by throwing a match.…….”

“Is it great? It was all made by my senior.?”

“Although I sought the advice of an alchemist,.”

I warmed up by chatting with Ramon for a moment..

I was planning on spending about 10 minutes like that, but not even half way through, Ramon woke up..

“…Anyway, you said you didn’t have time, right? Then I guess I'll have to find Mjolnir first. Let's hurry.”

“okay.”

I can't bear to tell you to rest more..

Even though I knew Ramon was overdoing it, I nodded and left the abandoned building..

The snowstorm was still raging outside..

As soon as I was hit in the face by the snow and strong wind, I felt like I wanted to go back to the place where the bonfire was glowing warmly, but I held back..

Because Ramon will be colder than me..

My body melted, but my overall physical condition was not good..

I guess I fell asleep while passing out, but I didn't feel drowsy right away, but this is probably temporary.…….

Above all, I used up too much of my energy..

The problem is that the amount of energy recovered is ridiculously slow..

It can't be helped..

That's because it's a land so cold that you can't even find any weather..

‘Like last time, I can't replenish my strength by drinking elixirs..’

How many emergency elixirs should I stock up on for times like this?.

I don't think anyone carries around expensive elixirs to restore energy..

While thinking about this and that, I quickly glanced around..

The atmosphere of the temple, immersed in the snow, seemed both lonely and strangely affectionate..

If it hadn't been for a terrible snowstorm, it would have been a relaxing experience..

Anyway, talking to Ramon was impossible because of the strong wind, so I talked to Musin..

‘What was your relationship with Ymir??’

[If I had to say it, I would be a senior..]

‘Senior?’

[I'm not just talking about age. I was the first to ascend to the throne... … . I just don't want Ymir to go through the same process as me..]

You're saying something I don't understand again.

Despite his unique, rambling style of speaking, I'm so tired right now that I don't have time to argue..

I wandered around and found an unusually large building..

‘Doesn’t that place look suspicious? It's needlessly big.’

[I think the same thing.]

I headed to that building with Ramon..

Because the building was particularly damaged, the cold itself was no different from outside.…….

Still, it was worth having at least a conversation because it blocked the wind..

‘It's a surprisingly large building..’

When I think about it, it’s natural..

The building standards themselves must be tailored to giants..

The old cup rolling around is as big as my torso, and the chair is the size of a small igloo..

Of course, the ceiling of the building was so high that it was almost impossible to see when looking up from below..

As I was walking around that place, I felt like I had become smaller rather than the surroundings getting bigger..

It feels like looking at the world through the eyes of a mouse. Normally I would have made a silly joke, but now I closed my mouth..

To even save time for conversation.

“…….”

“…….”

And at the end of the temple, or in the center, I was able to find the weapon that Musin had mentioned..

A hammer stuck in a lump.

…It's incredibly big.

Just like the rolling cup I saw on my way there..

‘ah.’

Of course, this is from a human perspective..

By human standards, it would have been large enough for a man with long bones to use his entire body to swing it, but for a giant, it would have been about the size of a hatchet that could be carried lightly..

[Come closer. It looks like he has just regained consciousness after a long rest, so don't be hasty to provoke him..]

Hearing what Musin said, I approached the hammer..

When you look at it up close, it has a unique shape. It looks like it was made by adding metal to the skull of an animal..

[…who are you?]

Then the heavy voice was heard again..

I wasn't mistaken this time.

It's Ymir's voice..

“This voice…….”

This voice seems to have been heard by Ramon too..

I thought for a moment.

How should I introduce my identity to this giant who has come to his senses after a long rest?.

Kusset's successor?

well… The black fairy Kuset is a legendary hero that everyone knows, but the frost giant Ymir is a being from the mythical era, one step ahead of him..

In the end, I had no choice but to give a rather boring self-introduction..

“He is the devil's opponent..”

[The devil's opponent?]

“yes. The Golden Horned Demon Lord and his minions are committing unholy acts with your remains. We have to stop it, but on the way we got caught in a blizzard and fell here..”

[…….]

“Ymir the frost giant. please get us out of here.”

It seemed like he was skipping too much detail and only revealing the business, but there was no time to explain everything from start to finish..

[…is it. Was the identity of this evil presence Kinggarodtooth?.]

“…….”

[Humans and goblins. It's a rare combination... … . I understand your situation well. But unfortunately I don't think I can listen..]

“yes?”

[I have no strength left now. It looks like my remains have already been taken over and remodeled by Kingarodtooth's minions over a long period of time. I can't move my stomach, even a finger, or even my heart, even with my will..]

“So what should I do??”

[There is no choice but to undergo a harsh ordeal... … . Only those who pull out Mjolnir will be able to leave this place..]

At those words, I reached for Mjolnir..

Then I pulled as hard as I could, but this damn ax didn't budge..

‘…….’

In fact, I realized it the moment I held it in my hand..

This was not a weapon I could handle. As Musin said, it is not a matter of strength or aptitude..

I don't deserve it.

“Is there any way to get out without pulling this out??”

[There is one way.]

“Please tell me.”

[There is one more relic at the end of my stomach. ‘Giant Killer’… … . If I pull out that sword, my stomach will churn and the exit will open regardless of my will..]

“oh.”

It's a good thing to hear.

I was pleased, but Ymir's words were not finished..

[but there is a problem.]

“…Is it true that only giants can be selected??”

[no. The relic is currently nothing more than an old sword. Even a child can pull it out easily... … . However, the place where the relic is carved and the exit of this stomach are completely opposite..]

“…Those words are?”

[Only one of the two can leave... … . The other one should pick out the Giant Killer at the end of this place..]

Ymir’s voice continued..

[…You will have to hurry, opponents. In this eternal winter, the blizzard doesn't stop, it only gets stronger.…….]
