Episode 25 Temple of Hel

―Transfers the user to the hidden room ‘Temple of Hel'.

Gugu-guk...

The scenery surrounding Jaehyun slowly began to crumble.

The view of the dungeon is shattered like fragments of a broken mirror.

Objects that have become fragments and scattered, and the ground they are standing on in a mess.

Jaehyun's son-in-law trembled anxiously.

‘The temple of Hel...... I can meet that woman again if I go there.'

Jaehyun calmed down and began to reflect on the situation.

Just now.

The Nornir System said that it was transporting itself to the Temple of Hel.

A mysterious being who saved him from his first encounter with Nightshade.

According to the Nornir system, her name is Hel.

The owner of Helheim and the god of the dead.

It was an absurd story, but Jaehyun had no choice but to believe it.

‘It's a story with a possibility as long as it has the ability to interfere with the system. It seems to affect the main quest as well. On top of that, the overwhelming power that stopped Night Shade at that time... at least not human.'

Jaehyun constantly developed his thoughts in the chaos of teleportation magic.

The conversation with Hel is after the regression.

It would be an opportunity to clear up the doubts he had been harboring all along.

After a while.

A dark land where not even a ray of light can reach.

Jaehyun arrives at the temple where everything on the border between life and death looks monotone.

The temple was emitting ferocious magic as if sucking in the life around it.

The thorny vines entangled in the intricately patterned stained glass building on the far-high ceiling added to its queerness.

“This place is... the Temple of Hel.”

Jaehyun looked around with a calm expression.

As the system said earlier, this was a temple.

However, it is a place that seems to be far from the place where ordinary gods are enshrined.

It is a place that feels like a pagan chapel that worships evil spirits.

Jaehyun caught his breath.

You need to calm down and prepare for it.

The existence you will meet now has a very high rank that you can handle.

It was only a fleeting moment, but Jaehyun knew it clearly.

Hel knew that he could turn himself into powder if he put his mind to it.

However, Jaehyun also knew that such a thing would not happen.

‘The system brought me here for a reason.'

Hell said clearly.

Jaehyun is the ‘horse' he needs and he is the opponent who will kill Odin.

Looking back, the Nornir System had never adversely affected Jaehyun.

It brought him back to the days he wished for, helped him grow with various EX-class skills, and provided an opportunity for growth by giving him the goal of being a night shade, although it was semi-forced.

‘I successfully cleared the ordeal of Hel. Now it's Hel's turn to answer me.'

“Hell! I have come to see you!”

Jaehyun raised his voice and shouted.

again. again.

At the same time, with the sound of heels, overwhelming magic power attacked Jaehyun.

A strong feeling of pressure, as if the chest had been hit with a hammer.

Jaehyun, who did not feel any signs of poisoning even in the destruction of the mana cube, was an exception this time.

“Chehehe...!”

In order to endure the suffocating pain, mana was wrapped around his body and his breathing returned to normal.

A density of deep magical power that dare not even compare with Night Shade.

Hel walked towards Jaehyun without hiding his power.

Soon, the corner of her eyes curve like a crescent moon and her hand rests on her waist.

“no way. I really didn't know you could make it.”

Jaehyun's eyes twitched briefly.

Hell, a woman who came right before his eyes with a voice.

Hel appeared as before, with the enchanting reverberation of bloodletting.

A woman with a charming voice who has a beautiful half body but an ugly appearance on the rest of the body.

Hel tilted his head to the left, resting his chin on his chin and raised the corners of his mouth.

“congratulations. A child born with the fate of the enemy. Defeating the real Nightshade in two months. I guess Mimir wasn't completely wrong?”

“……Mimir?”

Jaehyun narrowed his eyes.

Another familiar name flowed from Hel's mouth.

Mimir.

A giant who guards the Fountain of Wisdom in Norse mythology.

Why is that name suddenly appearing here?

Hell smiled as if Jaehyun's reaction was funny.

“Oh, by the way, it was Mimir who created your Nornir system. I'm a bit of an eccentric.”

“You made the Nornir System…?”

Jaehyun frowned as if he didn't understand.

Mimir.

The giant of wisdom created the Nornir system and regressed himself?

‘Come to think of it .......'

When I think about it, there was a corner where the angler matched.

According to Norse mythology, Odin visits Mimir's fountain to gain wisdom.

There he asks Mimir to give him a drink from the Fountain of Wisdom, and in return Mimir demands an eye from Odin.

In the end, Odin gave up his eyes and drank the spring water.

He sacrificed one of his eyes.

Jaehyun recalled the item he got from Treasure Gate right before returning.

The Lost Eye of Odin.

If it was really Mimir who created this system, wouldn't it be his choice to hand over the items?

Jaehyun felt that his head was getting complicated in an instant.

he asked, placing his hand on his face.

“Why? What made the system... and what brought me back?”

“It is to grow you into an adversary.”

“An adversary of the high ?sir… the system told me so when it first chose me.”

Jaehyun stood up straight, overcoming the magic that was crushing him.

“Tell me why I have to play with you.”

A figure that is quite far from the attitude one would have in front of a god.

However, Hell smiled as if he was amazed at the appearance of Jaehyun.

“Because you were born with that destiny from the beginning.”

“fate?”

“An adversary of the lofty Aesir. A being that would kill that supreme god, Odin. That is you.”

“......Existence that will kill Odin? adversary? ...... I won't be able to follow the explanation from the middle.”

“You don't have to understand. I didn't even want it in the first place.”

Hel seemed insignificant.

“But keep in mind. That this is not just the story of our anti-Aesir gods.”

Jaehyun couldn't understand at all.

Why on earth would a person called God depend on a mere human being?

“The world is moving towards its end. The ?sir and Odin try to put everything under their feet. To prevent this, the antagonist of the prophecy. I need your strength.”

Helen smiled lightly.

“I can't tell you more details yet. However, you must endure countless ordeals in the future and become a god slayer.”

Hel spoke in an alluring voice with a subtle expression on his face.

“then. The adversary of the ?sir. Until the day we meet again, I wish you luck.”

“Wait a minute! Hello! I still have to ask you...”

Jaehyun's words were not finished.

Goo-goo-goo.......

A ray of light cast in the darkness wraps around Jae-hyun's whole body.

Innumerable black hands rise again under the light and swallow Jaehyun, and soon the ground shakes like a ripple and the vision trembles uneasy.

Slowly......

Everything that comes into sight again begins to break into fragments.

At the same time as he felt his mind being led over the distant abyss, Jaehyun lost consciousness.

* * *

When Jaehyun opened his eyes again.

“uh?”

In his eyes, Park Seong-jae's dark face was visible.

‘what?'

Jaehyun felt extremely dizzy in the blurry vision.

He struggled to get himself up. Jaehyun looked around and opened his mouth.

“here is?”

“Oh! Jae-hyun. Are you out of your mind?”

Finally, the uneasy vision returned to normal.

Jaehyun's body had already been transported out of the dungeon.

‘Did Hell send me outside again?'

My mind flashes and memories from a while ago come back vividly.

Mimir, the giant who created the Nornir system.

God Slayer who will kill Odin.

An adversary of the lofty Aesir.

He didn't understand everything clearly, but Jaehyun clenched his fists and made a promise.

If Hel and other anti-Asir gods think he is a necessary horse and try to use him, he will also use them to get what he wants.

Anyway, in the dungeon that day, Jaehyun was destined to be killed by Jung Woomin.

What brought him back to life was purely the Mimir and Nornir system.

‘It's not bad to go on an adventure once.'

Jaehyun sincerely thought so.

And then.

“There is no abnormality in the body, but rather it is in very good condition. You don't need to worry too much. But if you don't know, don't overdo it.”

“thank you. thank god.”

Shortly after Jaehyun wakes up outside the dungeon.

Seongjae Park brought him straight to a nearby hospital.

It was only for a short time, but since I was unconscious, I wanted to see if there were other problems.

Yooseong, who was contacted, also put aside other work and ran to the hospital.

It was because he was worried about the health condition of his only disciple.

Fortunately, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with Jaehyun and that he was in very good condition.

Jaehyun scratched his head with an embarrassed face.

“sorry. It's just because of me.”

“What are you saying? It is a precious asset of our Yeonhwa.”

“...I hate people who restrain

me.......”

Yoo Seong-eun laughed as if it was not a big deal and tousled Jae-hyun's hair.

After a while. Park Seong-jae said while walking side by side with Jae-hyun, leaving behind Yoo Seong-eun, who had a conversation with the doctor.

“Anyway, he suddenly collapsed, so I thought he was really dead and worried.”

“Sorry for worrying you.”

According to Seongjae Park, the dungeon gate was closed right after Jaehyun came out.

I don't know why, but it was most likely Hel's work anyway.

Seongjae Park hurriedly waved his hand at Jaehyun’s words and responded.

“Oh no. I didn't bring it up to hear those words... just. I want to tell you that I am proud of you.......”

“Yes?”

“Good job. really.”

Jaehyun lowered his head in embarrassment at Park Seongjae’s heartfelt words.

“......thank you.”

“what? together Join me too.”

Yoo Seong, who had finished talking before he knew it, approached the two and said.

Jaehyun smiled lightly and bowed to Yoo Seongeun and Park Seongjae.

“This dungeon attack. I was able to do it thanks to you two. thank you.”

“of course. ...... Well, by the way. you say What do you plan on doing with the dungeon by-products?”

“ah. right.”

Jaehyun thought for a moment.

Originally, it was normal to divide dungeon by-products with Yeonhwa Guild at a ratio of 8:2.

However, Yoo Sung-eun and Park Seong-jae must have thought that the dungeon they entered was E-class.

If you hand out the by-products you got from killing the monsters in Helheim, you'll probably get a frightened reaction.

‘How do I do it.......'

Yoo Seong-eun said to Jae-hyun, who was worried, as if it was not a big deal.

“You just take all the items you got from clearing this dungeon. The by-products obtained from E-class dungeons aren't worth much money anyway. It won’t be long before we share.”

“yes? Can I really?”

“then. of course.”

Jaehyun decided not to reveal that he was sent to Helheim Dungeon.

The rewards obtained by defeating Skeleton Soldiers, Wraiths, and Night Shades can be sold through the Black Market.

It's a flaw that they take away a lot of commission, but they don't ask for the seller's identity information, so the black market was the best option in the current situation.

‘I don't know what connection there is between Hel and the Aesir gods and me. But when the time comes, they will approach you first. For now, it's more important to focus on what's right in front of me.'

Jaehyun opened his smartphone and checked the D-DAY written on the top.

D-DAY 9

There are exactly 9 days left before entering Milles Academy.
