Episode 301 Flowers blooming in the snow (1)
“...let's eat.”
One week after the battle with Sigrun was over.
A single-person hospital room attached to Yeonhwa.
Fair skin and a round face.
A beautiful girl with a lofty black hair gave the boy a cherry tomato and said.
Her hair fell down a little, and a faint scent of perfume and treatment wafted from her collar.
Boy Jaehyun looked at the girl next to him with a slightly awkward expression and said.
“...but it's Inana. Do I really have to do this?”
“...huh. For a while, the doctor told me to rest. The CEO also told me to ‘never’ move and to rest.”
The girl Seo Ina said with a bit of strength to ‘Never'.
‘ha.'
Jaehyun let out a small sigh.
She seemed completely unaware that what she was doing could be a burden to others.
It was embarrassing for Jaehyun.
Right now there are only two of us, so that's fine, but other people.
In particular, it was clear that if Kim Yoo-jung even saw this, a lot of annoying things would happen.
‘Of course, it's not that I don't understand Ina's feelings.'
It was she who had seen Jaehyun runaway using the Awakening Stone of the beginning just a few days ago. At that time, Jaehyun was almost dead and was about to come back to life.
Is that all?
The colleagues also learned that Jae-hyun was fighting a great evil called the Aesir. It was also true that they were gods with transcendental powers.
In short, it is a more strange situation for Seo Eana, who likes Jaehyun, not to worry about it.
“But... as far as feeding them...”
“...It's okay. My arm doesn't hurt.”
At Seo Ina's words, Jaehyun opened his mouth as if he couldn't do anything about it. To be honest, I was thankful that my arms didn't go up properly.
In the battle with Sigrun, when he ripped off his wings, he seemed to have used too much force. But what?
At the time, I thought it was the best, so I decided that. I had no regrets about it.
People who have lost something precious see only hatred and vengeance in front of their eyes.
Even though he used the skill to not feel emotions, something in Jaehyun's head was definitely disconnected at that time.
Because of this, he forced himself to use field magic and was injured as he is now.
...that's all good.
Anyway, it's kind of like coming this close.
Jaehyun looked at Ina Seo who kept handing out cherry tomatoes.
Every time she brushes her hair, the citrus scent spreads throughout the room, and for some reason, I feel a bit dazed.
As for Jaehyun, it was inevitably burdensome for her to come to him every day. I am grateful for the help, but anyway, the continuation of this relationship itself felt burdensome.
However, Seo Eana's attitude to take care of herself was stubborn.
Well, there was a good reason for that too.
It was because the other colleague was seriously injured and it was difficult for her to come to take care of herself every day, and in the case of her mother, since she was living in Seoul, it was a cumbersome situation to keep going back and forth through the portal.
She was the only one who was realistically comfortable with help.
Not only that, but thanks to the effects of the skills she got from the future, she became much stronger than the other S-class raiders, and it was reassuring for her to protect herself.
anyway.
Due to various complex adult (?) circumstances, Seo Ina volunteered to take care of the sick.
Thanks to that, Jaehyun's mind is just getting complicated.
‘Let's think about this later...'
Jaehyun repeated, turning his head away from the problem in front of him.
He stumbled upon cherry tomatoes and briefly remembered the past.
It was at the time when he opened the 3rd stage of the liberation of the godhead and fought Sigrun.
‘Sigrun... That guy had his own circumstances. what she said at the end. And blind loyalty to Freyja...
That must have something to do with Odin.'
Now, nothing can be known except speculation. However, it was not difficult to see that Odin was deeply involved in the matter.
Moreover, Sigrun continued to show signs of hating Odin even during the battle.
Like the way he threw himself to protect his comrades at the end...
It's very likely that he was forced into the battlefield.
Jaehyun knows.
Sigrun is at least far from the evil that the world defines.
She only tried to follow her convictions and move forward according to her own will and Freya's loyalty.
To deny all those efforts, Jaehyun, too, has been working hard to protect his own.
‘Of course, that doesn't change anything. was my enemy I should have killed him.'
Even so, Jaehyun did not regret it.
He ruminated on Sigrun's dying last with cold eyes.
Whether Sigrun was good or evil hadn't mattered to him from the start. It is also the standards and standards of others that determine it in the first place.
Jaehyun will follow the standards he has set.
I can't shake any more
But he made one thing clear.
‘Odin... if you try to take mine, I will take yours too. Even if it's a lower and dirtier way.'
I won't hesitate.
Thinking that way, I keep receiving this and that from Seo Ina. Suddenly, Hella's voice came from behind.
“I’m sorry for being in a good mood… Actually, it will be difficult to rest for a long time.”
“…Is it because of the Aesir gods?”
Hela nodded at Seo Ina's question as she turned around. After polymorphing into a human form, she sat on a chair next to her bed in the hospital room.
“yes. It won't be right away... but as soon as Ragnarok begins, they will start moving too. If you are not prepared, the worst will happen.”
Jaehyun couldn't help but straighten up his body that had slacked off there.
worst case.
It was because her intentions were clear. The destruction of Midgard due to war.
In the past, Hella said.
Some of the other worlds have already been conquered by Odin. It was the point at which the rest of the world itself was now almost gone.
people's life.
Among them, Midgard is a place that must be protected. To put it simply, it should be called a strategic location.
Jaehyun asked with a heavy expression.
“How long do you think it will take for the Aesir to move again?”
“Six months at the earliest. For that, you'll have to do at least a few tasks. The same goes for the remaining two trials.”
“Task…”
Jaehyun nodded his head as if realizing it.
Because it was a task, I realized that Ragnarok had finally begun.
The anti-Esir forces also thought that the war had begun, but there was no way they could not be left alone. Isn't it because he was given a system and developed himself for a time like this?
It was obvious that by now they would be eager to use the representation.
“Tell me exactly what to do. I'll move right now...”
“But.”
Hella raised her finger and said.
“Take a break for a few days, as she said. Because Seo Ina-yang is too kind to you. If it were me, I would have dated him a long time ago. Not being indecisive.”
“...I always thought cats were better than dogs.”
When Seo Ina spoke with emotion at a strange point, Jaehyun shook his head.
Drooling!
while talking like that. The other kids and S-class raiders, Yoo Seong-eun, came looking for him.
They ask Jaehyun how is your body? He asked for my regards.
Jaehyun told me that it was okay because it was annoying but not too bad.
The members of Nine are, of course, Yoo Sung-eun and Yusu's S-class radar. Jung Hyun, Kang Joo-hyeop, Han Ji-an, and others looked at Jae-hyun and talked about this and that and then went back.
Jaehyun thought about the future schedule and how to respond to the Aesir gods.
This time he met Loki and realized it clearly.
There is nothing you can change on your own.
In the end, you need the help of the people around you to move forward.
Jaehyun deeply cared about that fact and started making plans for the future.
like that. Three days of worrying and worrying passed.
* * *
After three days, Jaehyun's body gradually recovered.
He can finally eat cherry tomatoes alone and walk without a wheelchair or crutches. Looking only at the exterior, it had already regained its former appearance.
Seo In-na looked regretful, but it was a good thing for him.
After all, relying on others didn't fit Jaehyun's personality.
“Haa... It's not easy after all. I never thought the risk of forcibly releasing the godhead would be this much…”
Jaehyun muttered and moved his body around.
He was now at the gym attached to the hospital.
I came here for some kind of rehabilitation training because I had recovered quite a bit in three days.
Hella was beside her. It was to keep an eye on Jaehyun's divinity so that it wouldn't run out of control once again.
“Now, try using magic. Don't worry, I'll be watching from the side with my eyes open.”
Hella was so lucky to see Jaehyun use magic. Poppy is also watching Jaehyun with a worried expression.
Jiing.
Magical power is born and spreads.
It was a kind of qi and also the source of pulsating life.
Then, Jaehyun changed the form of his magical power again and brought out a new power. The power of destruction that is more profound and vast than before.
it was deity
―The user releases the godhead.
―...failed.
However, Jaehyun soon realized that his condition was not as good as he thought.
‘...After the runaway, the godhead's control doesn't work properly.'
Jaehyun clenched his fists.
His hands, which had been deploying magic as he thought, were trembling.
‘shit.'
Jaehyun swears a little.
I actually knew.
That he was in a situation where he couldn't bring out even half of the godhead he had used in the battle with Sigrun in the past. In the case of magical power, it was at least better...
but taking out the divine attack did quite a bit of damage.
Wounds received during the battle with Sigrun.
That's probably what's holding you back.
‘...But no matter how you think about it, it's strange. No matter how much I couldn't properly absorb the Awakening Stone of the beginning, I couldn't even properly demonstrate the 2nd level, let alone the 3rd level?'
At the stage of manifestation itself, something hardened as if something had been taken out of control.
It was the first time I experienced this as Jaehyun.
“As expected.”
I think so. Suddenly, Hella looked at Jaehyun.
“expectation? Is that... could it have something to do with my inability to properly handle the divine right now?”
“that's right. You are currently in a situation where the opening of your godhead is restricted due to one runaway in the past.”
“Restrictions?”
“That's right. Overuse of the Godhead caused side effects, and as a result, the body is refusing to take out the Godhead on its own.”
“You're denying yourself...”
“As you already know, you haven't reached the 3rd level of godhood liberation yet. In fact, even when I reached the 3rd stage of liberation, I couldn’t handle my power properly and lost my mind.”
Jaehyun nodded.
surely. At that time, the manifestation of power depended only on coincidences and miracles.
It was used by force.
It was fortunate that the body was not damaged. Even that, if it wasn't for the efforts of the S-class raiders, Hela and Meteor would have been impossible to recover as quickly as they are now.
However, Jaehyun couldn't help but shake his head at her words.
“But you can't last long like this. You have to somehow get to step 3 perfectly and go further from there.
Odin will continue to target me and my companions.”
The Aesir's movements are getting stronger.
Even if they are not moving right now, their purpose is clear after all.
One's own death and the unification of the nine worlds.
It is the biggest driving force that moves Odin.
Jaehyun was clearly aware of this and was in a position to stop it.
“We need to quickly regain the strength we had when we fought Sigrun. Like you said, there's no time. Nothing can be protected in this weak state.”
Jaehyun bit his lip and said.
Contrary to what he said, he wasn't weak at all.
The moving wooden dolls in the gymnasium were all broken. They were magically processed, but they were dolls with at least B-class magical power.
Top-notch products prepared for the rehabilitation of Jaehyun in Yeonhwa.
However, it was no match for Jaehyun at all.
In the first place, it was a reenactment that was strong enough even without a godhead.
At most, B-class dolls could not be Jaehyun's opponents.
“It is not that there is no way.”
When Jaehyun is immersed in worries like that.
Hella crossed her arms and suddenly opened her mouth.
“method?”
“That's right. For the time being, it's putting a ban on your power.
If the biggest problem is that you can get hurt by forcibly pulling out your power, it's a problem that will be solved if you don't use your power until you handle it properly. As Aesir said, you won't be able to move for a while.”
“...surely.”
Jaehyun agreed.
Power that cannot be properly handled is poison.
It can gnaw at the user and destroy him.
Jaehyun is a veteran who has lived as a radar for over 10 years.
A power you can't handle. It will lead the caster to ruin.
It was as if Joo-Won had been caught and eaten by it by forcefully using Tyr-Bing.
Jaehyun thought for a moment and looked up at Hella.
he asked.
“so. What do I have to do to get that ban?”
“The Temple of Hel.”
Jaehyun's eyes narrowed. Hella was on.
“You should visit there in a while.”
Temple of Hel.
There, including Hel, those who gave their three trials.
And the forces that helped create the Aesir system are gathered. Jaehyun smiled a little as he thought of the huge temple he would visit again.
“Then shall we sneak in today?”
“Tell Ina-yang to rest until today... and, of course, you.”
“Anyway, whether it’s today or tomorrow, it’s there, isn’t it? It's just that I'm getting a bit sore. Why? You're not going with me?”
Hearing Jaehyun's words, Hella sighed and shook her head.
There was a time when Jaehyun became like a child at a strange point.
