Chapter 833 – Eight Thrones (5)
〈… Goosebumps.〉
Watching the goat blink its close eyes, Nefertiti rubbed his forearm.
A monstrous creature that seems to have malignantly put together a seemingly ordinary creature. Even Nefertiti, who was familiar with the black magician’s subjects, had no choice but to say so.
“It’s not just disgusting.”
Veronica looked at the mountain goat’s inner chambers with Rune and was disgusted.
The presence of the goats instilled a repulsion beyond disgust to the creatures that saw them, such as the frost giants of Niflheim and the offspring of the stars.
‘If mankind before and after the Great War dealt with monsters like that, it wouldn’t be strange to have an instinctive reluctance towards cephalopods.’
To that extent, the goat and Amelia who made the goat had a different way of thinking.
Look? Appearance is not an issue.
If it was just an effort to create a hideous monster, it would have been laughed at as bad taste.
However, there was a difference between such a bad taste and a different point of view. Such was the intellect who did not regard that distorted appearance, which should be the result of madness, as the work of a madman.
To those descendents of the stars, there is no clear standard for distinguishing between goats, humans, and other creatures.
A monster that ruled over the superpowers of the human world. Veronica felt chills at the fact that an existence that was hard to reach in terms of wisdom among criminals had influenced the whereabouts of the era with such sensitivity.
An intelligent body completely different from conventional common sense.
Such a being dominates and reigns over humans with their own perspective and perspective.
So it was. 【Middle branch】 Not only Midgard, but all living beings born in the dimension of the World Tree feel that their existence alone is the essence of fear and madness.
No matter how stupid people are, they will realize when they encounter the thoughts that that monster emits.
To that extent, the existence of the descendants of the stars makes us certain that a world of madness that would be reluctant to even describe exists somewhere across the night sky.
〈A partner that fits your level perfectly. Are they a suitable pair?
Amelia, who had created a creature most unlike human sensibility by human power, stroked her goat’s chin. Although she imitated the outward appearance, she was only an ornament to them.
Dana opened the Valkyrie who bestowed blessings.
– Chuck! The Val Curies, who had charged more mana with the power of divine protection than she could, formed a hunting formation. It was a tactic that also worked for Wooshin, so the sense of intimidation was enough.
But Amelia answered while stroking the goat.
Jjoeok-!!
The goat’s gills opened, and it spewed out a liquid impervious to light, like a pile of seaweed in the deep sea. Sensing a chilling presence in the liquid, Veronica immediately cast her magic.
【ᚺ(Hagalaz). ᛁ(Isaz). ᛃ(Jēra).]
A short sentence of 3 measures.
It was Veronica who listened to Loki’s teachings and understood the runes more deeply. It was successful in effectively reducing the long spell that brought out the true ability of the rune.
The whirlpool of flames created by a short spell swallowed half of the ‘amniotic fluid’ and went out.
─Kurrureuk!! However, the amniotic fluid seeped into the ground like water being sucked into a sewer pipe, and the monsters vomited out as if drawn from the depths of the underground.
【Fhi-!!! Twih’vs Kioah-wu!!!】
-Crying! The amniotic fluid burst and life was born.
Cylindrical creatures like monsters and plants resembling seaweed were the beginning. From something resembling Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the East, to beings that look like transparent wind masses, to things that are smaller than humans but look like caterpillars floating around in slime.
Unheard of monsters spilled out and licked their tongues.
〈Did you stop halfway? Yu Hee-shin’s blood relatives always get in our way.〉
Contrary to what she said, Amelia smiled kindly and stroked her goat’s belly.
If the number is not enough, you should urge them to have more.
The goat’s belly, which was bigger than the empress’s torso, was swollen to the point of being hideous. The power to govern the birth of living things. It was the power of Pomona, a saint from the past who was revered as a god of fertility.
Everyone was disgusted by the sight that seemed to blaspheme the birth of life. Fran’s arm moved so fast that he couldn’t catch up with him in an instant.
─Puff!!
Fran’s knife, aiming for a gap in her behavior, was lodged in Amelia’s face.
〈It seems that you don’t intend to miss it.〉
The knife was stuck and even penetrated, but she was unscathed. Correcting her procrastinating jawline, Amelia rotated her brain to burn.
What if Nord couldn’t predict this future?
Not a good thing at all. As long as you can’t escape, it’s better to be foreknowledge.
If Nord’s guess that he couldn’t read the future is true, doesn’t that mean that this situation is not a crisis at all for him?
Just as the past determines the future, the series of actions of ‘Amelia now’ determine the wisdom shown to ‘Nord of the past’.
It was not foreseen. That is, it is not a crisis.
Amelia said that no matter how much she fought from now on, she would never be able to kill Norse women.
Far from hurting, there may even be complete defeat.
It was ironic, but as long as those women attacked Amelia, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the chances of Amelia killing them and running away converged to 0%.
Hello, is there any way?
‘No.’
Don’t kill it, but she gritted her teeth.
〈The day is still cloudy, but let’s get tangled up and enjoy it.〉
【Meeeee-. Mewwwww. Mewwwww-.】
Gul-Luck, Gul-Luck… !
Fuhwaak-!!
A goat that squirts amniotic fluid from its mouth like a production plant for this creature.
Dana widened her eyes, noticing the gathering of energy that was too damp and disgusting for creature mana. It was the mana that the Nords called the mana of chaos.
Veronica cast the spell again. The flame evaporated the amniotic fluid that the goat had vomited.
The amniotic fluid that evaporated turned into a toxic gas, but that level of poison could not pierce the protection bestowed by the goddess. Dana’s divine protection was flawless in terms of protecting her warriors.
After succeeding in her attack, Veronica clicked her tongue. It was because she saw monsters peeling from the amniotic fluid untouched by her spark and climbing as if they were born.
【Valkyrie! Half protect Veronica! Clean up the dirty stuff first!]
Dana entrusted Veronica with escort, giving instructions to the Val Curiers who are connected by her soul.
The army of the Goddess did not have to give detailed instructions, but they followed the will wholeheartedly. Thanks to this, Franc was able to go on the offensive immediately.
The golem core knife floated like a halo and formed the golem’s arms.
Frank pulled out her metal hammer and swung it while casting an aura on it.
Parts, Tsutsutsu— Fuuk!!!
The aura-covered hammer was blocked as if the slime had become a cushion. It didn’t seem like an ordinary slime. The caterpillar that escaped injury spewed saliva as a counterattack.
Fran believed in Dana’s protection and raised her shield.
Chii Iik—!! The metal shield melted like a lie. Even though he had become stronger with his protection, that was about it. If Frank attacked without her protection, he was an enemy enough to die.
Frank, who immediately restored the consumed shield, raised his hammer again.
【Kioah-wu!!!】
The statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva struck a long blow at Fran, whose side was clearly exposed. Turning the shield, the caterpillar’s saliva was also quite threatening. Frank hesitated for a moment.
After striking the invisible monster, Nefertiti jumped in to aid the Franc. Just like that, her kick was about to slash the arm of her Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
─Kikkik!!
Her Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hardened like a stone before the instep of her feet touched it.
A pink thread ran through the space as if it were alive.
“… 〈White clay doll〉・【Sword (Mækir)】!!”
Fran’s hammer, which had turned into a sword, slashed at the caterpillar, and Nepet Titi’s kick shattered her fleshy statue. Nefertiti nodded as she continued to attack with her whip.
The one who stopped Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was Lalilura, who appeared after leaping from dimension to dimension. She cried out in disgust at the disgusting looking monster.
【Meh’om?】
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, whose head had exploded, creaked as she showed a cross section of her flesh.
Lari Lura imprisoned them with the thread of her power. I’m going to have a good time… !! It was powerful enough to stop even the monsters protected by its amazing vitality and many powers.
The only thing that didn’t stop was the Goat Chimera.
【Meeeee-?】
The Goat Chimera converted the amniotic fluid’s life force into an offensive weapon and spewed it out. Lari Lura flicked her fingers and manipulated her dimensions.
Chow-! The severance of the space erected like a wall easily blocked the amniotic fluid.
〈Don’t get splashed amniotic fluid on your body. The skin will grow an incubator that will give birth to a monster.”
“Why do they only have such creepy abilities?!”
Lalilura is crying at Loki’s advice to fall. Dana, who smiled at her comical appearance for a moment, stiffened her face as she directed the javelin at her Val Curiers.
‘That’s all right! If it’s that intelligence-wasting duo, they’ll take care of themselves!”
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried. Still, there was no time for her to be thinking nonsense, and she was not alone, and if Tyrsi was with her, she would do well.
─Dana! It’s the same thing to worry about! After you finish it, think about going to help!
─I know! Because he’s used to getting things done with a guy who’s older than you, and being on time!
Veronica recalled her alertness with her thoughts. Dana, squinting her eyes, fashioned her light sword and fired. The process of throwing with her arm strength was omitted.
Not the brilliance of healing magic, but the light of pure destruction that surpasses an aura!
Power into light mana. The sword rushed like a shower.
Amelia waved her hand. The power of Fortuna, the god of prosperity, was activated by the spears like showers.
Chou-Shoo-!!
As if the sword of light had turned into an illusion, it passed without harming the mountain goat.
Dana half-opened her eyes.
‘The authority that avoided Fran’s knife?’
Is it an authority that negates the enemy’s attacks? Amelia said pathetically.
‘Didn’t I tell you already? Your Authority is at a low level.〉
‘It is a scholar’s nature. They were reluctant to name it until it was properly established.〉
It was something that could be bet on others, and it had all the troublesome powers. Dana agreed, feeling a little guilty as an archaeologist for having destroyed the temple.
After all, it is a simple use that replaces mana and other energy sources with the power of creation.
It was difficult to deny the criticism that it was not a high-level usage. Even taking into account the fact that those who could use the authority in combat would not be compatible with Freya’s throne.
But because of all that and personal irritation, Dana smiled happily.
When the war situation is unfavorable, you can shake the enemy’s coolness.
Dana had seen for years a man who had shaken the composure of a formidable adversary, seized the high ground and won.
A provocation based on the clues and intuitions you have gained so far. However, even when Amelia heard the hint of the provocation, her expression remained aloof throughout. The fact that it was the result of managing facial expressions was proved with a single word. It was because Amelia’s expression turned cold at Dana’s scathing point. Said she, spreading her wings as if she had penetrated the hearts of the children of the stars. 〈… …〉 Dana laughed. Amelia was never in an advantageous position. It was the result of her decision to get away from the gaze of the Nords for a moment, and if she could, she would even abandon the empire she had made her nest up to now. That’s why Dana was sure. Amelia is just a loser trying to run away with only the Bronze Throne. She said she pulled off her tail before fighting and used her hair to escape. And whatever the excuse, there was only one reason why Amelia would have run away. That was the reason. Even though she, the descendant of the last surviving star in the World Tree, has been repeatedly scheming in her stratagem, the reason why she has given up even her nest in the Romanian Imperial Family and is avoiding her body. Amelia was afraid of the power of the Nords. To be precise, she was pursuing his future foreknowledge and his very existence. … Farr. The descendants of the stars who had been manipulating ordinary humans like toys secretly shook their hands. Why wouldn’t it be scary why not be afraid A man who refuses her god’s blessing and throws a spear at her and her compatriots. He is an arrogant human being to the point of being hateful. Amelia could have ridiculed him, saying that he was a vile beast raised by a one-eyed god who had already died and raised him in the mood to catch straw. But nonetheless, she was afraid. A wild beast with her spear comes to hunt her down.
If it’s a hound, it’s enough to coax it. But it was different. Wolves follow whoever they want, but they are not raised for food.
The wolf raised by Odin was a beast that could not be compromised, seduced, or even deceived.
Odin’s ghost raised a wolf cub that would bite even a god without even putting it on a leash properly. The weak beast, which was no different from blood, became a monster like that.
Wolfheddin, who will swallow the star on which Amelia was born.
〈It’s funny how you throw away this and that and keep your form on the subject of only focusing on standing out, this is it. You know what it’s called when you struggle to escape from someone you’re afraid of?”
Dana spat out a provocation she had learned from someone and held out her sword of light.
If Amelia could get away alive, she could never say for sure.
… Hard!!!
Amelia gritted her teeth.
