I Obtained a Mythic Item

Chapter 214

Episode 214 Nidhog (1)

[There is only one condition.]

“Condition?”

Nidhogg had presented one condition to Jaehyun right before the battle.

He was baring his fangs.

[I visited this place to strengthen the weapon containing my power, so fight me using only that. Other than that, I won’t limit the use of magic and skills.

Of course, you shouldn’t get help from Hella and Fafnir either. How is it?]

Nidhogg’s conditions. This was an obvious penalty for Jaehyun.

Being unable to use the dragon slayer, Balmung, would inevitably be a huge limitation for him.

but.

“I will.”

Jaehyun readily agreed and raised his magic power.

No matter how much Nidhogg is a mythical being and has a penalty to himself. There was no reason to be afraid now.

From the beginning, he had no intention of killing himself.

‘I wonder if it’s the third trial. Forcibly testing my limits right now is risky for Nidhogg and Van Aesir.

Nidhogg wants only one thing from me in this quest. It’s just to confirm whether the name of the opponent of the prophecy is false or not.’

Nidhogg told Jaehyun a while ago.

He said he was looking forward to fighting himself.

What this meant was clear.

Nidhogg and this quest. It is trying to test reproduction.

‘It’s as if the third trial has already begun at the point of coming to Nastrond.

I’dun probably designed it from the beginning.’

Jaehyun nodded his head confidently.

Idun, who was in charge of the third trial, had a bit of a blind spot, but he was also a god.

She had prepared another preceding ordeal to test herself from the start.

Fight with Nidhogg and Hell in Nastrond. This will help Jaehyun grow in a better direction.

“Jaehyun. Stay focused.”

After thinking for a while, I heard Hella’s voice in my ears.

Jaehyun suddenly came to his senses and looked at Nidhogg’s huge body.

[then. start in earnest Lightly for now...... from step 2.]

At the same time as Nidhogg exploded his light beam, the ground nearby dug in and a huge divinity was released from his body.

That’s exactly level 2.

It was about the same as Jaehyun’s current level.

Tsutsutsutsu!

For the first time since the battle with Heimdall, Jaehyun experienced a sense of dizziness.

After all, is it the status of a mythical existence?

Even though he hadn’t revealed his full power yet, Nidhogg’s personality was on a par with his own.

‘If it was a normal raider, he would have collapsed or lost his life here.’

The battle with the opponent with the divine power had been fought many times.

However, this was a battle on a different level from them.

Jaehyun’s body was shaking at the sensation of a chill on the nape of his neck, but he calmed himself down.

―Release the Godhead.

As if fighting back, Jaehyun didn’t lose and opened his godhead.

Unlike other battles, the reason for opening the fight from the beginning was simple.

This is because in the current battle, you have to show off everything you have.

Because Nidhogg is not an opponent that can be dealt with with a reasonable mind and skill.

Tsutsutsut...!!

Jaehyun’s body began to be filled with an enormous divinity equal to Nidhogg’s.

Nidhogg raised an eyebrow.

[Anyway, this battle seems to be going to be quite long.]

Along with that voice, the venom breath spewing from Nidhogg’s mouth passed Jaehyun’s shoulder.

Quaang!

The breath flew behind Jaehyun and a huge explosion sounded. Then, powerful magic power began to swirl inside Hvergelmir.

Hela watched their battle and put on a worried expression.

“Please, Nidhogg shouldn’t be overly excited...”

Jaehyun was strong, but he wasn’t on a level comparable to Nidhogg, who could use a full blow.

The power of a mythical being is at a level that is not at all inferior to that of a god. Perhaps it would be impossible to deal with Jaehyun unless he grows at least one more step from the current liberation stage.

“I don’t think it will take too long to get there.”

Hella said that and crossed her arms. Unbeknownst to me, my hands were sweating.

The battle between Nidhogg and Jaehyun.

‘It’s so powerful that even just brushing against it will kill you instantly. Of course, now that the godhead has been released, it won’t go to that extent, but...’

It’s dangerous.

Jaehyun continued his thinking with a sentence that came to his mind clearly.

‘The power of the skill is so strong that it cannot be countered with absolute arithmetic. If you consume too much magic power, you will be at a disadvantage in future battles.’

Absolute arithmetic consumes different mana depending on how strong the opponent’s magic is.

If it was an attack of the previous level, it would be difficult to block it several times, no matter how much magic power he possessed.

That was the reason Jaehyun avoided Nidhogg’s breath a moment ago without blocking it.

‘After.......’

Jae-Hyun slowly approached him without letting go of the tension at the destructive power that exceeded what he thought.

First of all, you need to properly monitor the enemy’s movements.

If the process of analyzing the enemy’s attack patterns and skills is not preceded, it can be attacked even if only one attack is allowed.

[You’ve got pretty good wits,]

said Nidhogg with a laugh.

Jaehyun quickly raised his mana. Hold the sword in your left hand, and use your other hand to unleash magic.

It was a process that Jaehyun had enough repetition and mastery of after establishing himself as a battle mage.

[Is this your turn this time? But unfortunately, I have no intention of waiting.]

Just in time for Jaehyun’s attack, Nidhogg prepared another breath.

Hella shouted.

“be careful! Nidhogg is strong! With Hel’s protection, I won’t have to worry about getting sick... but it won’t be easy!”

“Do not worry. Hella, I have my own thoughts.”

―Active skill 《Aqua Punishment》.

The next moment, Jaehyun’s skill was activated at the timing of his breath, Aqua Punishment.

At the time of fighting Fafnir in the past. It was the strongest water attribute skill Camilla had ever used.

‘It would be nice to use lightning magic, but now that there is the essence of the sea, it is better to use water magic for efficiency.

Compared to mythical skills, it consumes less mana, but the power is almost the same.’

In addition, water magic is effective against poison property attacks.

Poison attribute attacks basically have the property of contaminating something, but water attribute magic has the effect of purifying it.

Nidhogg’s mouth twisted up.

[It’s pretty strong magic for a human being... but do you think you can deal with me with it?]

“Of course. No matter how Nidhogg. Even if you are strong, if you are of the same rank.”

As Jaehyun muttered, he saw a huge whirlpool of water floating in the air.

“I have no intention of losing.”

With those words, Jaehyun lowered his hand and countered the breath that was fired at him.

Wow!

With a fierce noise, Nidhogg made a small sneer. It was because Jaehyun’s attack was clearly pushed back by his own breath.

Jaehyun’s new model was not even visible because it was covered in dust from the aftermath of the attack.

Nidhogg murmured in disappointment.

[It’s disappointing...... I thought it would be much stronger than this...]

It was the time he thought.

“How about disappointing later?”

At that moment, along with the sudden voice, Nidhogg’s forehead crumpled.

Jaehyun, who had appeared from a blind spot, swung a dagger at him.

He opened his eyes and tried to respond to Jaehyun’s attack.

However, at level 2 of Godhead, he could not keep up with the speed of reappearance wearing various artifacts.

‘this......! But nothing to worry about. I can’t even hurt my body with that guy’s level!’

Nidhogg’s body was not as strong as Fafnir’s, but it was very sturdy. A hard outer shell that can withstand both magic and physical attacks.

As long as he was wearing this, an absurd attack would be of no use to him.

‘Anyway, that sword won’t be able to pierce my scales...’

Chow!

It was then.

[What......!]

The fact that the outer skin he prided himself on being strong was cut and the fountain of blood gushed out.

At about the same time, Nidhogg’s face was stained with bewilderment.

―Active skill «Intangible Sword Type 2―Phantom Sword» is activated.

The sword in your hand creates an afterimage and starts shooting accurately towards the enemy’s torso.

It was much sharper than the usual Hwansword and showed excellent cutting power.

The reason was simple.

―The effect of the title < < Dragon Hunter > > is activated.

It wasn’t just Balmung that was effective against dragons.

“Why? Is it different from what you expected?”

Saying that, Jaehyun lowered the sword he held with all his strength.
