The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 151



Only Noblemtl

Episode 151

As I entered the temple, I spoke to those following me.

“There will be a square seal in the temple. Please look for it.”

“all right.”

The square seal was a sacred relic imbued with great power that maintained the entire Abyss, including the temple.

Also known as the jade seal.

It is not a relic of great power.

It was just a symbol of the Amut that ruled this place.

It is said that Amut was an emperor who ruled a continent before becoming a god.

He, who wished for the eternal prosperity of the empire, believed that he had to become stronger and not lose to anyone.

Amut created an army that could not die, could regenerate when wounded, and would not back down from their determination to kill their enemies.

An empire created by God and an army that can never be defeated.

I believed it would be perfect.

But the perfection he desired actually turned out to be poisonous.

After conquering the entire continent, the armies, with no enemies left to fight, began to turn their swords against each other.

An endless cycle of constantly pointing swords at each other continued.

It was hell.

A hell created by those who cannot quench their thirst for blood.

Amut asked for help in solving this, and as a result created the Abyss, which connects our world to it.

This was the story of Amut that Lee Su-yeon, who was the recorder, told me.

The jade seal inside the temple was said to be an object symbolizing Amut’s past.

A holy relic that he put down himself when he realized that he was not worthy of being the emperor.

A beast-like symbol that hides its temples, waits for its time to come, and acts as if it were dead.

‘It must have been a record that Lee Su-yeon was able to see because she was the recorder.’

The one who closed the last of the Abyss of Struggle was Lee Su-yeon.

She used her recording powers to recreate the seal’s abilities, just as she had recreated the temple, and by issuing an imperial decree, she destroyed the temple of the Abyss and sealed it completely.

He said that he also saw Amut’s past at that time.

In the process of reproducing her power through the imperial edict, the memories of that time were forcibly injected into her head.

Although the memory has not returned since the temple disappeared, it remains deeply embedded in my mind and I will never forget it.

I thought as I looked at Lee Su-yeon following me.

‘Should she see the same thing?’

If you close the temple in the same way as in your previous life, you will definitely see the same thing.

Suddenly, I felt worried.

In her previous life, Lee Su-yeon had a bitter expression on her face as she talked about Amut’s past.

What you told me wasn’t everything.

When asked what exactly she saw, she always avoided answering.

-I don’t want to leave a bad memory for Dojin.

I can only infer that it must have been such a bad sight that the lively Lee Soo-yeon avoided talking.

‘I know that the Lee Soo-yeon of her past life and the one now are different.’

But I didn’t want to make her go through that bad experience again.

He is the one who helped most in exposing the lies of God and hunting them down.

I didn’t want to see that person struggling.

If you can’t even protect the heart of the person who is closest to you, what can you achieve?

It only takes one time to take advantage of someone else and do something reckless.

She has already survived the threat of coming face to face with God once.

I couldn’t let that experience happen twice.

Thor, the god of lightning, Osiris, the god of the underworld, and Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths.

Having already experienced being alone with God with only my soul, I knew how terrible it was.

Because I know all too well how you feel.

-How is it? How does it feel to be alone with me in a space where there is no one?

Thor’s voice came to mind.

I knew he was dead, but the bastard’s voice still made an unpleasant, scratchy sound in my ear.

‘There must be a way.’

A way that Lee Soo-yeon doesn’t have to sacrifice.

At that time, I met eyes with Lee Soo-yeon.

“Why are you like that?”

“It’s nothing.”

“Are you worried about me?”

She took a step closer and asked.

“It was really dangerous this time. That’s why I thought you might be worried.”

“… similar.”

“Is that so?”

“yes.”

What she did in the space of records to open the temple was by no means an easy task.

I didn’t think it would fail.

I also had plans to help if anything happened.

however.

As Sooyeon said, it was really dangerous.

She smiled brightly after hearing what I said.

“thank god.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I think it really helped this time. I know. My abilities are too weak to be with you on the battlefield. That’s why I took on the challenge, even though I knew it would be dangerous.”

“Suyeon is always helpful.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. There were many difficulties that I would not have been able to solve without Sooyeon’s knowledge. Thanks to you, I was also able to learn information about the gods.”

This was said to both her now and Lee Soo-yeon from her past life.

Because I have been receiving help from her both in my past life and in this life.

“…Thank you for saying that. I felt like I was a burden.”

“No, don’t worry too much.”

“… But, you know.”

Lee Soo-yeon took a step closer to me.

“How long are you going to treat me so difficultly?”

“…yes?”

“I’m speaking formally. We haven’t said anything until now, but since we’re comrades who entrust our lives to each other, I thought it would be a little more comfortable.”

“Are you uncomfortable?”

“No, that’s not it. I just think you’re keeping your distance too much.”

“Okay… No, I get it.”

“It changes faster than I thought. It changes.”

She smiled.

“I agree that it needs to change.”

I was the one who continued to have a hard time because I thought about the distance from my past life.

No matter how many times I told myself to think of my past life and my present life separately…

‘It turns out I treated everyone around me the same way.’

If you think it’s different, you have to change your actions first.

“Okay. So is this how it’s going to be from now on?”

“okay.”

After finishing speaking, I searched around the temple to find the jade seal.

“Dojin.”

“what’s the matter?”

“It was cool back then.”

Let’s look at her to see what she means.

“When Amut was after me, the dimension split and I blocked the monster’s attack right in front of me. It was cool.”

“ah.”

Jang Man-cheol was there too.

I swallowed those words inside me.

I somehow feel like I shouldn’t do it.

“Well, thank you.”

In this situation, I didn’t know what to say, so I just said thank you and was about to hurriedly leave.

“Hey, Dojin! I found you!”

Sekhmet called to me, holding a red shining jade seal.

“great job.”

“So what should I do now?”

“I’m going to use this to seal the Abyss.”

“Huh. So this is the nuke that’s keeping this place going?”

“yes.”

“I don’t feel that kind of power.”

Sekhmet looked at the jade seal.

As she said, I didn’t feel any special power.

“Think about what this temple was just a moment ago.”

The huge temple, which seemed endless no matter how long I walked around it, looked like an ordinary pile of stones.

Sekhmet nodded at the words that implied that she could easily disguise herself to that extent.

“I see. It was under an evil spell.”

I received the seal from her.

At the same time.

[He has the divinity of Abyss of Struggle, Amut.]

[Qualified to operate the National Seal.]

[Would you like to activate the national seal?]

A system message appeared.

‘I can make it work?’

It must be because I registered Amut’s power.

‘That went well.’

I needed a way to reseal it, and I got lucky.

I saw Lee Soo-yeon.

She met my eyes and nodded as if she believed me.

If it was something I could control, there was no need for her to bother closing this abyss.

‘What are the conditions required for operation?’

In order to completely seal the temple along with the Abyss, it had to be activated eventually.

[It works when you stamp the seal on the altar.]

I climbed up onto the huge altar.

Since I hadn’t seen the dismantling process up close, it felt a bit unfamiliar.

As I reached the altar, I stamped my seal.

[You are an eligible user.]

[Register a new user, Shinsalja Kim Do-jin, on the altar.]

[The ownership of the temple passes from the god of strife, Amut, to the god-slayer, Kim Do-jin.]

[Select the process you want to operate on.]

[Expansion: Expand the temple to the entire Abyss. The temple will function normally and become one with the Abyss.]

[Seal: Seal the Abyss. The Abyss is sealed and loses its abilities.]

[Struggle: Open the Abyss and cause it to go berserk. The Abyss and the world are connected and a descent occurs. (This is a command that was entered in advance. Entered by Amut.)]

Expanding and sealing. And struggling.

Anyone could see that I had to choose only one thing.

seal.

If the seal is successful, the Abyss will disappear and only the Jade Seal, a sacred relic, will remain to inform us that we have sealed this place.

That was when.

“Kim Do-jin! I came to take revenge for the murder of Thor! I will kill you, the one who dared to insult God!”

From afar I saw a host of gods flying towards me, led by Odin.

There is no time.

We gave it our all while fighting Amut.

If you fight Odin in your current state, you will definitely suffer significant damage.

I let out a slur.

“Seal it.”

[Seal the Abyss.]

[Brace yourself for shock.]

impact?

and.

Kuuung!

There was a huge bang.

It was such a rough trembling that even the gods who were flying towards me were shaken.

For a moment, space was distorted.

Hwaaaat!

Light enveloped us.

When I opened my eyes again.

“what?”

Nothing had changed.

No, only one thing had changed.

azure.

The sky, which had been terribly red, turned blue.

“no way….”

“Dojin, what are you going to do!”

“Ready to fight?”

Sekhmet and Promis asked me.

Their gaze was turned towards the gods running towards them from the front.

“Kill the God-Slayer before he escapes! Kill him and avenge Thor!”

Odin and the other gods, seeing that there had been no change, rushed to me.

It looked like he was going to kill me at any moment.

shit.

Was sealing the wrong choice?

‘I can’t help it.’

First, we will find a way to completely eliminate the Abyss while buying as much time as possible.

As I prepared for battle, a new message appeared before my eyes as I held Mjolnir.

[There is a divine being in the person of the Godkiller Kim Do-jin.]

[The divinity of Amut, the previous owner of the new killer Kim Do-jin, exists.]

[You have met the qualifications.]

[The Temple of Struggle has become the pantheon of the God Slayer Kim Do-jin.]

what?

What has the Temple of Struggle become of me?

A familiar sound came to my ears as I was panicking.

Bam-! Ppaaang-!

The sound of a car horn.

no way.

“Did you come out of the Abyss with the temple intact?”

[An escort golem is summoned by the Pantheon effect of the Temple of Struggle.]

[The effect of obtaining a new Pantheon will heal all wounds of Kim Do-jin and his apostles.]

I felt energized.

To the point where I wondered if this was even possible.

Kwarrung!

A violent lightning bolt struck from Mjolnir in his hand.

“Whew, there’s no law that says you have to die.”

I looked at Odin.

“Is it okay to treat the person who conquered the Abyss of Despair that no one else has conquered like this?”

“What?”

I pointed to the blue sky.

“We’re all out of the Abyss. What does that mean?”

Odin’s eyes wavered.

“Even a dog barks in its own yard. You know that?”

“What is this…?”

“If you don’t believe me, just come at me.”
