The Mythical Hunter has Returned - Chapter 31
Only Noblemtl
Episode 031
The gods of the other world used their power to tear the dimension connecting the world of the gods and the world of humanity and create the Abyss.
Preventing the Abyss from which monsters emerge is an ordeal that the gods of human history speak of.
For some reason, Loki was also able to create such an Abyss.
Rocky.
A being who is both a god and a devil; a god of human history but also chaos itself.
I don’t know how he did it, but he knew how to open the Abyss.
‘Like the gods of the other world, there were times when he used the Abyss for his own purposes.’
As the final war approached, the gods defined Loki as an enemy of human history and ordered him to be subjugated.
Of course, he wasn’t caught.
As if it never happened in the first place.
‘Did you already know how to open the Abyss?’
I don’t know exactly when he started using the Abyss.
From the moment I first met Loki, he knew how.
Strangely enough, Loki, who disappeared like that, reappeared on the final battlefield and fought on the side of the god of the other world.
Just like during Ragnarok.
The reason was not said.
I just fought the gods.
Even though his heart was pierced by Odin, Osiris, and Nüwa, he met his end laughing at the gods.
That’s why I, who hates the gods, used Loki’s box.
A being who fought against gods longer than anyone else in his previous life, and at the same time harassed several gods and hunters until the very end.
He was probably as annoying to us as Zeno, the God of Destruction.
‘Although it was not stronger than Zenon.’
That’s why I was even more impressed.
Of course, I don’t know his intentions in opposing the gods.
Only Loki himself knows.
Was it because he knew something that no one else knew?
If not, was he simply faithful to the concept of the god of mischief?
‘I guess I’ll have to figure that out little by little.’
And that was why you shouldn’t trust Loki 100 percent.
Nonetheless, I received help from him.
Is my story simply fun?
no.
Surely Loki said.
-But it’s more cliché than expected. I was expecting something from you again… .
-That’s it? An immature sense of revenge against your teacher? So now that you’ve gotten your revenge, is it all over?
-Tsk, all the seaweed leaked. I expected it because I thought it would be more fun.
It was a boring story for him.
Nevertheless, the reason he kept me alive was because he needed me too.
A man who kills God.
It was a fun story for Loki, but at the same time, it was a necessary story more than anything else.
Did they say that the enemy of your enemy is your friend?
‘The scariest thing is a friend who can turn into an enemy at any time.’
You must not let down your guard.
This is a guy who will stick a knife in your back at any time.
But the Abyss you see over there was clearly Loki’s help.
The Abyss is just a dimensional gap where no monsters appear.
That was the Abyss, the void, created by Loki himself.
If that were the case, it would be known that Hephaestus was sucked into the Abyss and disappeared for a while.
-Hephaestus Guild members announced that they would do their best to investigate the inside of the Abyss, and several guilds cooperated… .
While you’re busy checking out what’s inside, I can just do my own thing.
-If it is someone else’s doing, the guild will do everything in its power to find it… .
“I’ll have to be careful for now.”
I’ll have to postpone killing God.
But you can’t just play around.
While Eitri was making weapons out of Hephaestus’ body, I also had other things to do.
Defeat the Abyss.
Closing the Abyss created by the god of this world did not end the ordeal.
The Abyss was created when the dimension was torn and distorted.
Completely attacking the Abyss was the way to completely destroy the remnants of the other world that arose in the Abyss.
The method of attack was different for each Abyss.
There were cases where the Abyss disappeared as soon as the boss was captured, and there were also cases where the Abyss remained until a specific medium was destroyed.
There were many places where the Abyss did not disappear until a certain item was obtained.
Of course, now that most of the large-scale raids of the gods of the other world have been suppressed, there are many guilds that do not intentionally subjugate the Abyss and instead take advantage of various by-products from the Abyss.
The reason was simple.
Because it makes money.
This world has achieved the fourth revolution.
The Abyss Revolution.
Just as when humans discovered fire, modern humans who discovered mana have achieved explosive development using magic and by-products from the Abyss.
However, in the future, humanity suffered greatly because of the Abyss that was left behind.
‘Monsters poured out again from the Abyss, which had been left unattended.’
I had a strong desire to kill God and weaken their power.
‘You can’t just go around killing gods.’
One way or another, the gods of current human history were a dam that blocked the Abyss from monsters.
Since the embankment called Hephaestus was broken, it was also necessary to break down the Abyss, which Hephaestus should have blocked.
‘I also took the hidden piece that Hephaestus had.’
If I were to kill Hephaestus and gain some of his powers, I would be able to use his weapons as well.
So you have to attack.
Not anyone else, me.
“It’s a story about the disappearance of Hephaestus.”
While I was thinking that, Suyeon Lee approached me.
I called her in advance to Eitri’s forge in Nidavellir.
I had something urgent to say.
Because it wasn’t something you could talk about in a crowded cafe.
“Are you here?”
“Wow, I heard you had a really hard time paying annual leave. How much does your boss pay attention to you? Next time, if you want to call me, please let me know 4 days in advance.”
“I’ll tell you two days ago. Anything more than that is too much.”
“Yes, yes, you must be young.”
Her lips were sticking out as if she was disappointed that she wasn’t taken with her to attack Hephaestus.
“Anyway, what did you call me for? Am I finally going to go to war? “Everything is ready.”
“… “I have a story to show you more than that.”
Her eyes brightened at those words.
“As expected of you, Mr. Dojin, right? Hephaestus disappears!”
“It’s not like I’m missing or something.”
“Unless you’re missing… ?”
I took her with me into Eitri’s blacksmith shop, where the fire was burning.
“Master, is the work going well?”
“Don’t say anything. This ash is causing a lot of trouble. “Just getting this out will take a few days.”
Next to Eitri’s busy workbench.
“This, this… .”
The head of Hephaestus lay there.
“I killed him.”
“You really succeeded. I did it just in case… … . “I hunted the real Hephaestus.”
Her mouth opened wide when she saw Hephaestus’ head.
After a moment of embarrassment, her eyes gradually began to fill with curiosity.
“Then why are you showing me this? “I probably didn’t bring you here just to show off.”
“I told you last time, right? “I will let you record the story of killing gods and heroes.”
“It was like that. “I didn’t take them there because it was dangerous.”
“I called you today to ask for a record of the story of killing Hephaestus.”
“With this truth ink?”
“yes.”
Lee Su-yeon clicked her tongue as if she was disappointed at those words.
“great. To be honest, it’s a pity that I can’t go in person, but I have no choice. “Like you said, I’m weak right now.”
“There is a way for you to become stronger too.”
“How can I become stronger?”
“yes.”
“What is it? “I am an awakened person, but I am a civilian without any combat training.”
“You will find out when you write it down.”
I pointed to the pen and paper she was holding in her hands.
“… There seems to be something there. great. I’ll write it down in detail from start to finish. “Please tell me.”
“Talking here will interfere with work, so let’s move to the next room.”
“great.”
When Suyeon Lee and I arrived in the guest room, we started talking about catching Hephaestus.
The story is that in order to catch him, he captured other heroes, took their weapons, and killed him, who was weakened by the fight with Ares.
It was also written that the teacher’s revenge was also a motive.
The parts about receiving help from Loki and using his magic box to incur the wrath of the blacksmith god were left out.
There’s no need to tell me everything.
“It’s all black.”
“I believe Su-yeon will know better what that means.”
“It means truth.”
Soo-yeon Lee said those last words and put an end to the story of me killing God.
“Kim Do-jin, beheading Hephaestus.”
And that moment.
Whoa!
The story she recorded began to shine.
“Uh, huh? what?”
She looked at me with a puzzled look as her book suddenly started glowing.
“What appears before your eyes?”
“Uh, so… “It says, ‘Successfully recorded the story of the great God Slayer.’”
“That’s it.”
“What happened?”
“Lee Su-yeon became the recorder of the first story of the folk tale.”
She looked at me blankly.
The reason she was called here and the reason she personally told the story of Hephaestus was to make Suyeon Lee the recorder.
In my previous life, she said that I had become a recordist without God’s help thanks to writing the story of an unknown third-rate hero, so this time, she guided me to write down my story as well.
“Hey, Mr. Dojin.”
“yes?”
“They say I’ve changed jobs now.”
“you’re right. “What does it say?”
“They say he is an eyewitness to a myth.”
“yes?”
Not a recorder?
That moment.
[The story of you taking a great step by daring to kill God has been recorded. Let the world know about your great journey.]
[Your story has been recorded. (1/10)]
[Success Reward: ??? (Not eligible.)]
[Recorder: Witness to the myth, Suyeon Lee]
[Lee Soo-yeon transitions to becoming a witness to the myth.]
Not a recorder, but an eyewitness to the myth.
It was clearly written that way.
But what surprised me even more than that.
It was a message that my story had been recorded.
Even in my past life, Suyeon Lee had recorded my story many times, but I had never seen a message like this.
Everything about her was subtly different.
‘What was different?’
At that time, there were words that penetrated my mind.
-If I tell you your name, you won’t know it, right? The main character of the story that awakened me as a recorder was a third-rate hero.
Even after she became a recorder, she said she couldn’t remember her name.
But I gave her the story of killing God.
‘That’s it.’
The reason why Lee Soo-yeon in her past life and the current Lee Soo-yeon have different jobs.
“What did you gain from changing jobs?”
“I gained some skills. It’s called space separation… . They say it creates a space for records that can be observed as a third party.”
The moment I heard that, I nodded.
‘You’re lucky.’
In the future, we needed her help in conquering the Abyss.
There was now a reason to take her to the scene.
I spoke to her as she looked at the system and thought about it.
“Suyeon.”
“yes?”
“I think I’ll need Sooyeon’s help when conquering the Abyss.”
“Do you want my help?”
“yes.”
Her eyes were round.
“Then can I follow you?”
“you’re right.”
“great! “As much as you want!”
Now I have to start my real job.
The Abyss strategy.
