I Obtained a Mythic Item

Chapter 347

Episode 347 Alfheim (6)

Hung! Hung!

A night of twilight.

The elves’ sword dance, glimpsed through the stars embroidering the sky, catches my eye.

A sword that is swung as if it were going to devour the people in front of it.

It was refined and beautiful, like looking at a piece of art. If someone who had no knowledge of swords saw it, they would surely feel that the Elves were winning.

Contrary to what one looks like, the gymnasium is filled with only the sound of cutting the wind.

The reason was simple.

It was because Jaehyun easily dodged all of Lars’ attacks.

No matter how much he was the captain of the guards overseeing the elves, Lars was only at the level of the second stage of liberation. It is weak to reach Jaehyun.

Both Jaehyun and Lars knew this, of course, but no one said anything about it.

The two just exchanged swords with each other.

They bumped their swords and twisted them away as if there was no need for unnecessary conversation between them.

“Heo-eok… heo-eok…”

Lars looked at Jae-hyun with a face full of venom. His eyes flashed between the blurred pupils.

In fact, Jae-Hyun barely cut his sword, either letting it go or avoiding it. Even in the midst of that, none of his attacks hit.

‘Heo-eok… Heo-eok…’

My eyes are all red.

crushing defeat.

It was an unfamiliar experience for Lars.

Of course, before the situation in Alfheim got to its worst, there were quite a few people stronger than him. However, even so, it was a minority.

Let alone the 2nd stage, the elves who had attained status almost did not exist.

anywhere in the nine worlds. Even dragons, there was no place overflowing with beings who had gained status. Lars was a sufficient predator in that sense.

The word “defeat” meant that he was an unfamiliar strongman.

“But why…”

Lars’ eyes were bloodshot.

“How are you so strong! Low and dirty… Human subjects!”

Chae Ae-Aeng!

A sword containing only Ras’ anger and intent to kill. This time, Jaehyun didn’t spill his teeth or dodge them and hit them back as they were.

A moan escaped Keulas’ mouth, and his feet took a couple of steps back.

Jiik.

‘I won’t stand it. As for humans… never!’

Lars tried to force Jaehyun to stand upright with the sword that was being pushed back.

However, Jaehyun did not move at all from the spot.

Lars tried his best to push the sword away with both hands. But it didn’t make any sense.

He realized it only after noticing that Jaehyun’s hand was in his pocket.

‘Are you saying that I exerted this much strength with one hand… Damn it!’

At that moment, Jaehyun’s voice was heard in the midst of a terrible sense of defeat.

“I heard you hate humans.”

“…what did that mean?”

“Probably because of Einherjar.”

At Jaehyun’s words, Lars’ pupils constricted. His body was freed to the limit. Jaehyun was not afraid at all and gave strength to his sword.

Chaeeng!

“I don’t know who heard it… but don’t dare mention that incident!”

“Your father was killed by Einherjar?”

However, Jaehyun said it on his own. Lars’ expression hardened.

rehearsal words. father.

It was something that cut off something deep within him.

Tsutsutsutsutsu!

Lars exploded all the remaining magic power in his body and rushed at Jaehyun.

And in the next moment, the fight between the two quickly came to an end.

Lars’ vision hovered in mid-air for a moment before sinking to the ground and pointing up into the sky. The instant reenactment showed a battle on a completely different level.

After parrying the opponent’s attack and tripping his legs.

It was knocked down by a crush on the forehead.

Jaehyun spoke calmly as he reverse summoned the sword.

“Look at the stars and cool your head. I have a story to tell.”

Speaking in a nonchalant tone, Jaehyun said what Ruina, who had been looking for him a while ago.

And he remembered the story of the previous king of Alfheim.

It was a story about a tragedy that was as common as the previous classes.

* * *

Ah, then let’s start talking. Please listen and don’t laugh at me.

I’m a bit soft-hearted.

My father was a good monarch.

Among the past monarchs of Alfheim, he is considered a saint, and he was loved by many elves as well as other races.

is it so. He was also loved by humans.

At that time, people suffered a lot because they had nothing to eat and were poor.

Odin demanded a lot of grain and gold from the humans. The Golden King tried, but all his efforts were in vain.

My father has had close interactions with humans while helping such people. Humans also followed such a father well.

But what day was it? Tragedy happened…

Ragnarok.

That’s when the war started.

Odin said that he would obtain all nine worlds and declared that a new sun had risen in the world. Of course, elves and other races fought against him.

But there were people who couldn’t even stand up properly.

The weakest race… Humans.

They play into Odin’s clutches and steal the souls of Asgard and Einherjar. Become Odin’s army and sweep the battlefield.

Humans with new powers. So, the Einherjars attacked all over the nine worlds. Everything visible was subjugated.

And at this time, my father, the king at the time, Glam… went out to the battlefield naked to convince the humans and lost his life and drank.

Alfheim was grieved by the king’s death, and every day a mournful song was heard from all over the place.

After the tragic death of her father, her older brother became a disabled person.

I locked myself in my room for days and days and spent my time cursing humans.

In fact, even though he knew that they were playing at Odin’s hands, he thought it was because of their weakness.

That created my brother’s disgust.

Oppa isn’t a bad elf in the first place.

I’ve done rudeness to you now, but it’s absolutely not because I had that intention. I’ll vouch for it. Just… my brother.

It’s just lonely.

Because I lost my father and the person I trusted.

It happened because I thought I was left alone like that.

It’s just… that’s it.

It’s a common story.

Even more so on the battlefield.

But I believe that this common story can improve relationships between people.

I believe so.

* * *

Two people looking at the stars.

Jaehyun was the first to open his mouth.

“It’s boring, but it’s understandable. that you hate humans And how you acted like a dog to me.”

“Thank you very much for that.”

Lars was sarcastic, but Jaehyun smiled as if he was used to it.

“hey.”

“why.”

“Baby, what should you do with that tone of voice? It’s filthy thick.”

“Ha… So what is it?”

When Lars sighed, it was Jaehyun.

“Let’s ask one thing.”

Jaehyun’s voice was heavy.

“If you… if you could only save four people in a war, who would you save?”

Jaehyun’s question was difficult to answer.

Anyone would have done that in the first place.

Few people have only one person dear to them. Everyone has a few precious beings and is fighting for them.

The Aesir priests, including Odin, are oppressing them as enemies.

All they can do is endure or fight.

In this situation, choose one precious thing and throw away the rest?

It was an act of cowardly running away.

Because of this, Lars couldn’t understand Jaehyun’s intention at all.

he said in an annoyed voice.

“I will save all the elves.”

“It may not be possible to save everyone. You know.”

Jaehyun’s unexpected words were enough to shake Lars’ heart.

Lars knew it in his heart. Your dream is more than just that.

Eventually someone dies.

that’s war

never knew that.

But… if you have to choose someone to die, can you stand it?

can you choose?

I bit my lip at that thought, but suddenly Jaehyun laughed and said.

“Well, if you’re as skilled as you are, you won’t be able to save a single person.”

“what? Did you say this? You…!”

“I can get at least one. I am.”

Jaehyun said that with a calm expression on his face.

At those words, Lars’ eyes shook for a moment.

It had to be.

Saying that you can definitely save one person.

It was because it sounded cool, which Lars hates to admit.

The power to protect at least one thing you want to protect. Because it’s like saying you have it.

That’s why Lars had no choice but to say that.

“You… are stronger than me. surely.”

“You must be too weak.”

“Did you hear about your father from Ruina?”

“okay. He cherished his brother dearly. I wish I had a younger brother like that.”

Lars laughed for a moment at Jaehyun’s words. It was an ordinary and rare smile.

“hey. Don’t talk. Even if she looks like a young lady, how many accidents does she have? Before, I drank without my mother’s knowledge and got caught and hiccuped…”

‘You know how to make a face like that.’

Jaehyun looked at Lars for a while as he talked about his sister.

Lars talked about his sister and mother for a while, then suddenly sat up from his seat. He said holding his knees with both hands.

“You asked. If you could save one person, who would you save?”

“okay.”

“If it’s not me, whoever is fine. Whether it be your mother or your sister.”

“It is sacrificial. Not what it looks like.”

“okay. laugh at it Still… I sincerely hope that’s the case. After losing my father, my sister and mother were deeply saddened.

I should have helped too… but as you can see, I don’t even know how to fight properly.”

“You didn’t know, but I think that’s your weakest point.”

“what?”

Jaehyun lay on his back on the floor.

“It’s like being stuck in a sense of defeat. Look only half of Aindel and Louisa. gotta look to the future It’s not the same reality as what’s happening now.”

“……okay. You may be right. Because I am weak.”

okay. yes.

After that, Lars jumped up from his seat and said.

“I need to deal with you a little more.”

“until when?”

“At least until dawn.”

“However much. But don’t whine about losing.”

With Jaehyun’s words, the two stood up again in the gymnasium and confronted each other.

Jaehyun made a balmung and held it in his hand. The moonlight emitted a dim light, hung on the tip of the sword for a moment, and then emitted light again.

Each other’s swords slashed with a caang sound.

A faint smile spread across the two faces with the sound of a heavy sword hitting the floor.

Hana Jaehyun was clearly repeating one thing even at that moment.

They are laughing now, but everyone except Jaehyun and Ina Seo will die in this place.
