65 – Níðhöggr Raid

*

[Your level has risen.]

It’s sweet.

It was already filled to some extent, but as everyone put a spoon of frost on the monsters they had killed, the experience accumulated quite quickly, and when I directly dealt with the guy who looked like a mid-boss, the level went up in the end.

Of course, as much as I just leveled up, even if I caught the boss here, my experience wouldn’t be 100%, but it would be of great help when I entered the next gate, so I didn’t stop hunting.

While looking around, everyone was hunting well on their own.

I was a little worried because it was the first time Seung-ah caught a monster, but Jecheon Dae-seong, a nobleman, had taught me well, and without a moment’s hesitation, he ended the monster’s life. He thought it was Joan of Arc.

It was also Ha-yeon’s first time catching monsters, but she had experience fighting spirit creatures like face-bearers, so she didn’t have any difficulty with monsters of this type.

Estel was holding up her mace with angel wings on her back and crushing the monster’s head like tofu with one blow. She looks like a saint who can’t even kill a fly, but her actions are like a berserker.

Her mace is covered in blood and her clothes are also soaked with the monster’s blood. Even so, she had a smile on her face, so it was like a scene from a horror movie.

However, the difference from horror films is that the bloody person is a great beauty, and the identity of the blood is that of monsters that harm people.

In addition to that, the woman who introduced herself as the saint of her other world and showed a holy figure, laughing and slaughtering her monsters, definitely drew people’s attention.

Her gap between her old self and her new self is what makes her more and more immersive. As if to prove it, Estelle’s power was growing in real time.

Rierado is the first monster, but she has a great talent for killing something. Every time she kills one of her monsters, the time it takes to kill the next one gets shorter.

After 30 minutes, I just lack energy, but my hunting skills have improved to a level that is almost no different from me, who has mastered hunting monsters through countless battle experiences.

When I saw her stabbing a vital point precisely with minimal movement or striking it with magic without any superfluities, I was a little jealous of her talent.

Still, it’s very ugly for me to be jealous of others after getting 5 chances with the status window, and I feel comfortable knowing that this talented person is my ally.

Of course, I didn’t intend to stop her growth because I didn’t know what would happen the moment I caught up with her, but she said. That’s how everyone made their debut match with a splendid appearance, and the gate started to tremble before they knew it.

“Is that a sign that a boss is coming? It’s a medium-sized gate, and the miscellaneous mobs that have appeared so far have been rather weak, so the boss will be a bit strong. Everyone, please be a little nervous.”

Depending on the size of the gate, the total strength of the monsters inside is fixed. If the monsters in front were strong, the boss was on the weak side, and if the monsters in front were weak, the boss was on the strong side.

I expected the boss to be quite strong because there was a feeling that the strength of the monsters and mid-boss that came out in front of the medium gate was somewhat lacking. So, I warned everyone.

Of course, I wouldn’t worry about these people, but I couldn’t do it if I was careless and seriously injured. But there was something strange about the gate.

Originally, the gate explodes within 1 minute when it trembles and the boss monster should appear, but the gate only trembles and shows no signs of disappearing even after 1 minute.

“Why the hell…”

After waiting like that for another three minutes, the color of the gate started to change. From blue to black.

I’ve never heard of a gate changing color, so I look back at the agents of the association, and they’re also making an expression that they don’t know if it’s the first time this kind of situation has happened.

The gate, which turned black, was broken after a while and disappeared, and something… Holding a tremendous energy appeared on the spot.

A being with a destructive energy that can only come out of a medium-sized gate.

Though it was covered in dust, the monster whose body was tens of meters in length could only be seen in the shadows.

A roar so frenzied that it shook the heavens and the earth. Most of the people who heard the roar sat down on the spot and trembled. This is because peers of high-ranking species stimulated human primal fear.

I’ve definitely felt this before.

‘Demon King’s corps leader, Demon Dragon. He used to spit out peers like this.’

The peer I feel now is a little lower than that, but back then I was the one facing the wall of the prefectural police at level 299, and now my strength is abnormally high.

Since the difference in realities is so great, the feeling of intimidation I feel now is on a different level than it was back then.

The dust cleared and, as expected, the head of a monster in the shape of a dragon was revealed. And above the head was written information that could not be imagined.

[Lv299 Nidhog]

A monster with far-reaching power that is difficult to face as a boss even in large gates. He was the kind of guy who could never come out of the middle gate level. Something is wrong with this.

My party, who had faced a being stronger than that monster, showed some degree of endurance against its peers, and there was no problem with me, who was indomitable, but people were the problem.

Thung. Thud. Bang. Tung.

Every time it moves, the ground shakes loudly and all the buildings around it collapse. Despite this, those who were encroached on by the peer did not even think of running away.

‘What the f*ck.’

If this continues, people will die. Not just dying, there will be genocide.

Anyway, there weren’t many high-level hunters who gathered around here because it was a medium-sized gate, and even then, they all left work after seeing us stably defeating monsters.

There was even a real-time broadcast of us catching monsters, so it means that there were no additional hunters coming to this area. That means you have to hold out for at least 10 minutes before support arrives for the S-class hunters.

And 10 minutes is enough time for that overwhelming monster to annihilate the people around here. First of all, in order to free the people who were encroached on by the peers and attract aggro, I gave my throat and screamed.

“Stand up everyone!!!!!!”

[Skill: Obtain Lion’s Roar (Lv1).]

One of the skills learned from Silrion.

It had the power to instantly attract a lot of aggro to me with a shout containing energy in all directions, and to relieve some of the mental state abnormality that had been hanging before that.

It didn’t have much effect on the general public, but the agents of the association who controlled the surroundings and the hunters who watched us seemed to be somewhat free from the influence of the peer.

“If you come to your senses, evacuate the citizens first! I’ll drag you aggro!”

“That…That’s…”

“Quickly!”

I was only half awake, so I urged those who even asked me back, and met Nidhogg’s eyes, who were attracted to me. And the dragon’s mouth opened.

-Thor..?

From noble mtl dot com

People around me didn’t seem to understand what he was saying, but strangely, I heard it. Could this also be because of the knowledge gained from accepting Ymir’s power?

I can hear everything other people can’t hear, such as the last giant’s words and the dragon’s words.

-How did you get here?

I spoke to him using their language, just like when I first talked to the giants.

-How can you speak the language of the Asir… No, that’s right here…

This language must have been the language of those called the Asir gods. Just as he was talking to Nidhogg and trying to get more information, a sparrow flew in and sat on Nidhogg’s head.

‘Sparrow…?’

I don’t want to attach meaning to sparrows, but I felt something different. There was a sparrow that did not run away even when it saw a dragon, a transcendental species, and a sparrow that did not run away even when it saw a giant, a transcendental species.

Is this a coincidence? I couldn’t help but suspect that the same thing happened twice in a row, that the transcendence species appeared in front of my eyes for no particular reason, and that the same sparrow existed in every place.

And after a few seconds with the sparrow sitting down, Nidhogg’s eyes turned red and began to reveal a large killing force towards me, and the sparrow flew away again and slowly disappeared.

I thought I had to catch that sparrow, so right now this monster in front of me was the problem. The monster approaches me ignoring whether I can’t hear it no matter how many times I try to talk to it.

In the end, I felt that I had to fight him. With a body that has not yet entered the landscape, and a being right before stepping into the realm.

‘There’s nothing I can’t do.’

“Come out. Doom.”

One thing I found out after learning the taming skill was that it was possible to summon a tamed monster in the air.

So I opened the dimensional door of my taming skill to the sky… And a 30m long flame giant fell from within. The giant who tramples on Nidhogg’s head.

Thump!

Although it is a close body of almost 100m, if a 30m flame giant falls under acceleration, it will inevitably suffer great damage.

It was a big shot to announce the start of the Nidhog Raid.
