I Became the Companion of the Gods

63 – EP.17 Dances with wolves -5

After a night in the wasteland, the second day of En Barg begins.

Except for the wolves that moved at night, all wolves eat and replenish their energy.

Everyone is preparing hard for En Barg, but unfortunately, today’s festival will be temporarily suspended.

“Squall!”

“Hati… ? Why all of a sudden… ?”

“Father! My father is gone!”

“What… ? Didn’t you go somewhere to play before the start of the competition… ?”

“If you did, you would have said at least one word to us or the other wolves, but you didn’t and walked away completely!”

As expected, all the wolves, starting with Hati, start to feel uneasy about Fenrir’s absence.

That old man, didn’t you tell anyone but me?

I thought I’d tell Hati at least…… I got into trouble.

What if you hand over all the options to me?

-Aww!!

When you’re in trouble for a while, the wolf’s cry resonates throughout the canyon.

At this, all the wolves’ expressions hardened. The same goes for Hati and Cor.

I was the only one who didn’t know what was going on, so I became curious.

The fact that only I know and the cries that only I can understand…. It’s a very strange feeling.

“Seonlord….”

“Huh?”

“Could you stay in the cave for a while… ?”

“Why?”

“That… ….”

Cor can’t speak easily.

Hati explained to me on her behalf.

“The cries from before are a signal that a powerful enemy has invaded.”

“If you are a strong enemy…….”

“Yes, it is Shinsoo.”

As expected.

If it was normal, it would have been a surprise, but not now.

Because I already heard this news last night.

It was what he told me in advance when I passed Fenrir on my way to bed.

The second day of En Barg. Fenrir predicted that many divine beasts would come to challenge him.

Having broken the rules, he is in a state of no problem even if he is attacked by any divine beast.

It is said that the power that can be obtained by defeating the great beast is beyond imagination, and many divine beasts come to visit him every year.

The king of wolves, who never knows when and where he will be attacked. In such a situation, it is said that En Barg, which happens once every 5 years, is a good opportunity for a surprise attack.

Meanwhile, Fenrir is unable to help the pack of wolves, which are like his family, due to the constraints placed on them.

For this reason, Fenrir only conveyed to me the words that he would go alone to sort out the new beasts that would ambush before the wolves were taken hostage.

At the same time, he said that he asked me to take care of his wolves.

“Human? Do you know anything about the situation and your father?!”

“Hati….”

“Please! If you know anything, please let me know!”

“Haa… ! That’s why I didn’t want to talk to him…… !!”

It’s a thought that comes to mind every time, but I don’t think I can’t control my facial expressions.

I do well in front of my enemies, but why do I end up revealing my current feelings well in front of people who are not my enemies?

This is why I’ve always hated secret stories. Even if it’s a secret, it’s easy to find out.

So it must be the wolf’s fault for sharing secrets with me?

“I can’t! Now that I’m caught, I have no choice but to tell you everything!”

And that.

It’s natural for a father to think about his children, but it’s not good to solve it alone.

It is the principle of the world that children exist only when there is a father, and fathers exist only when there are children.

However, in the world, only the story of a father sacrificing for his children was widely spread.

I don’t like that. Wouldn’t it be nice sometimes to talk about children fighting to save their father?

At least I think so.

***

“Wow…. f*ck. To deal with that guy, you’ll have to make another round to use it.”

Docheol also looked terrifying, but if you add the Shinsu coming this way, it was more, but not less.

On the trunk of an elephant, on the body of a bear, on the paws of a tiger, hairs stood sharp like porcupine spines.

It is a large divine beast that is estimated to be 5 meters in height and 20 meters in width.

If there is a divine beast with such characteristics, only one can come to mind.

‘Impossible….’

Impossible.

As its name suggests, it is known as an invincible divine beast that can never be killed.

Stock stock is iron, and I know that whenever you take iron, you get bigger.

‘Shouldn’t you have kept the cor at least?’

On the other hand, the name of Unkillable also has a different meaning that it can only be killed with fire.

If that meaning is reflected as it is, to him, Cor, who handles fire, was no different from his natural enemy.

But Cor is not here.

I don’t know if it’s stupid or good, but I told Fenrir to go.

He said he would stay with me, but he deliberately persuaded me that Hati wouldn’t be able to do it alone, so I sent him away.

‘It can’t be helped.’

A twin brother and sister who show up to help her father. But if there is only one side and the other side is missing, it means nothing.

The two of them must appear at once to create a truly beautiful scene.

Maybe the father wolf likes it even while shedding tears?

“Shouldn’t we do our best for a touching family reunion?”

“Ahh!!”

Beside me were the chief wolves who had fought the day before in Turange.

Since it’s not a divine beast, it’s difficult to directly intervene, but it’d be nice to lend a hand.

Unlike Taochil, even if he gained the power of Shinsoo, it was only a part of it.

I didn’t become a Shinsoo myself. So, it is unknown whether it will be possible to defeat that firefly.

So it’s only natural to be worried, but for some reason my body started to tremble.

It was a trembling that came from excitement, not fear.

I couldn’t help but get excited about the first battle with Shinsoo after acquiring the ability. It is a good opportunity to see how strong I have become, and at the same time to see how far I can go against Shinsoo.

I want to fight. I want to use my abilities to the fullest. Ah, I can’t stay still any longer.

“Get the injured out right away! Understand?”

“Aww!!”

“Okay. Let’s go!!”

***

Immortality’s ability wasn’t as special as I thought.

The fact that it’s hard enough to make you think it’s crazy, and the degree to which it can fire the spines sprouting all over its body.

But I realized that even that level of ability could make me feel like sh*t.

‘Damn it, you’re as hard as a beggar!’

Kang!

Invulnerability has the strength to not be cut even when struck with a sword made of fatalite.

The cutting power of the sword that cuts like tofu at Docheoldo doesn’t work on this guy.

Even the thorn-like hair was easily cut, but the outer skin under the hair deflected the blade.

‘What the hell is your body like? Ah! sh*t!!’

Dodge the flying thorns by backstepping lightly.

The thorns of fire that are deeply embedded in the ground.

I don’t even want to imagine what it would be like if I got stuck in that one properly.

It is a thorn hair with such high killing power, but this divine beast refills a new thorn at the place where the thorn was fired.

No matter how much you cut it, it will regenerate again in a few seconds and come back as a perfect weapon.

This side’s attack doesn’t work, but the other side is making a fatal attack.

It feels like fighting against an iron fortress with your bare body.

‘Is there a limit to the ordinary method… ….’

Borrowing Cor’s ability, he puts fire into his sword.

As long as the information on the fire is not wrong, the fire will work.

With a red-blazing sword, he charged again at the fire.

On the other hand, the fire raging wildly at the sight of the flames clinging to the sword. It has been firing its thorns only at me.

It avoids things that can be avoided with future foresight, but it is difficult to avoid those that fly in multiple directions at the same time.

But even so, I continued to move forward.

Because I wasn’t fighting alone.

“Wow!!”

The wolves that pass quickly between me and Shinsoo, each one bites the thorns flying at me.

This was the role of the wolves, not divine beasts, and the help that only they could do.

“Thank you!”

Thanks to the wolves, I managed to get to the undead without a problem, and thrust my flaming sword into his side.

Different from when there was no fire, a sword that pierces the flesh of an unkillable.

As it is, it squeezes the handle tightly and cuts through the body of the firefly.

“Kuwouh?!”

As expected, fire was a weakness.

I was relieved that it was effective, and I put more effort into inflicting a fatal wound.

But that was for a while, as the fire that had been created went out, the sword embedded in the flesh stopped moving.

“What the f*ck!!”

The fact that the sword has stopped means that my attack has stopped.

This means that the right to attack has been passed on to Ungassal.

Innumerable thorns shoot towards me as I hold the sword.

This also foreknowledge and avoided serious injury, but allowed several thorns to pass through the skin.

The skin is torn and blood seeps out. It’s not painful enough to make you moan, but it’s painful.

‘As expected, it’s hard to inflict fatal wounds with fire that I can make.’

The scars that were created for a while are gradually healing.

I may have met a guy who is more jittery than Do-cheol.

In the midst of such doubts, the second baptism of thorns begins again.

It avoids what can be avoided by twisting its body lightly, and attacks what cannot be avoided with a sword.

From noble mtl dot com

Let’s succeed in blocking the thorns, this time a direct attack from the fireball follows.

An injustice that wants to lift the upper body and strike down with a heavy weight, or swing its feet to strike my body.

However, having already grasped his intentions, I evaded the downward slash by rolling backwards once.

After that, the leg coming towards me was cut down with a sword.

Fortunately, the firecracker’s legs belonged to the softer side and were easily cut in two.

Of course, it played back quickly, but… ….

‘This must never end.’

Situations where you can’t hit each other with one shot will soon lead to a war of attrition.

But I am a human, and he is a divine beast. There is an overwhelming energy difference between the two.

So for me, even if it was a gamble, I had to prepare a certain shot.

“I need some cover for you!”

“Aww!!”

I ask the wolves to attack the flying thorns again, and I want to get away from the fire as much as possible.

To give him a fatal blow.

Run and run until you are out of breath. Preparing for a blow takes time. So, you have to go to the safe zone where his attacks can’t reach.

My legs start to creak. My muscles scream and complain that I can’t run anymore. Regardless, I ran.

To go a little further, even a little further.

“Ah… !!”

A thorn flies and pierces my left arm.

There was no pain as there was no sense of touch, but the shock from the attack and the shed blood were not something to be ignored.

I had to come up with a reason to finish the fight more quickly.

“Aww!!”

“Uh… ?”

A wolf approached me. Excluding the Shinsu wolves, it was the biggest wolf in the pack.

“Wow!!”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you are talking about!!”

The wolves who can at least translate are gone. So for me…….

“Wow?!”

Even after falling back for a while, the wolf suddenly puts its head between my crotch and I am taken aback by the action.

However, through his future foreknowledge, he was able to figure out what his intentions were.

What the wolf is trying to do is burn me away from the fire. That is, to help me.

“Thank you… !”

“Aww!!”

I get as far away from him as I can while the other head wolves are holding on to Firefly’s ankles.

I feel sorry for the other wolves. My act of leaving the battlefield for a while was an act that put them in danger.

Nevertheless, they followed me without any complaints and even transported me like now.

We sincerely appreciate their sacrifice and cooperation.

So…….

‘If we don’t reward them with a victory… !’

When I arrived at my destination, I got off the wolf’s back and immediately closed my eyes.

What I’m going to do now is hallucinate myself.

Enter the virtual world as Miho told you. However, the scene that is unfolding is just like reality.

The only thing different from reality is that I am an object created in my right hand.

‘Make a window. The material is fatalite. The form is a javelin.’

A spear with a familiar texture is forming on the palm of my right hand, which was empty.

A sharp spear in the shape of a straight line that cannot be found in splendor. It’s a javelin spear, so there’s no need for cumbersome things.

Immediately, hold the spear in your right hand and assume a javelin stance.

Put your left foot forward and slowly bend your right leg.

In that state, stretch your left arm straight out to fix the target as an inexorable force.

It’s not a long throw, so there’s no need for a run-up.

“Whoa… !!”

Take a deep breath and exhale. There is no rehearsal. The first try is the last try.

So make up your mind and move on to the next step.

‘An unquenchable fire is lit throughout the window. The degree of fire is blue…… Keuugh!!’

The blue fire started to light up in the window, and tremendous heat came through the right hand.

Cor has developed resistance to fire, but there is a limit to the temperature of fire that can be produced by one’s own power.

If I create a flame that exceeds my limit, I will feel the heat and pain as it is.

But this is a virtual space I created, and I can overcome the heat enough.

‘With this, all preparations are complete.’

I can only implement the ability once. In other words, this spear was my final blow.

Failure is not tolerated. You just have to be successful.

“Whoa… !!”

After taking one last deep breath, I turned my gaze to the unkillable.

The target is between his eyebrows. With this blow, I promise to pierce the guy between the eyebrows and kill him.

Slowly putting all my strength into my right arm, just like that…… !!

“Huh… !!”

Shoot!

A spear that flies away from my hand and draws a neat trajectory.

After giving the window the ability to materialize, it immediately escapes from the virtual world.

It doesn’t end with the spear being shot. Rather, it is important from now on.

Predicting the trajectory of the spear flying towards the fire, it cuts off all the air threads that block it.

You can’t completely eliminate air resistance like Tia, but you can reduce it, so you have to make the spear move a little stronger.

“Queue!!”

It feels like my brain is burning and my eyes are being ripped out.

The work of predicting the trajectory of a spear and cutting the air line at the same time.

It was crazy to activate both abilities with one eye at the same time.

But you have to do it. No matter what, I had to end the fire with this blow.

So even if it means my eyes and brain are damaged, I have to do it.

“Quaaa!!”

The spear flying many times faster than the first time and the blue flame draw a beautiful line.

However, that power was far from beautiful and terrifying…….

– Pushaaa!!

The spear that touched the fireball ruptured all the flesh on the forehead and left a wide hole, leaving far away.

“Haa… ! Ha… ! Ha… !!”

Success.

Blood flowed from the eyes instead of water, and the overheated brain was causing endless headaches, but it’s okay.

I used all the power that could be used to defeat the Shinsoo…….

“Kooo!!”

“…… Crazy.”

To say nothing of it, the fire was too strong.

A monster who persists and runs amok even though his forehead is pierced.

As the etymology says, is it really a divine beast that never dies…….

Seriously, Do-chul was a disgusting beast with vitality that made you think he was very cute.

‘Well, it’s true that it’s completely over.’

The wolf’s mouth opens wide behind the rampaging guy.

-Kwajik!

Within a clear sound, the mouth closed and swallowed the body of the unkillable at once.

After a while, after finishing the meal, his mouth opened again, and a familiar voice began to flow from it.

“Farewell~! Human, you seem to have put in a lot of effort, right?”

“Ha ha ha… ….”

The existence that made all of my efforts, which included a lot of blood, sweat, and time, in just 5 seconds.

That gigantic wolf that ended the situation with just one bite, not overwhelming power or ability…… ….

Just like the name given to it, it was a wolf that devours the world.
