Episode 60/Chapter 2: Sword of the Round table (2)

Bracky turned around.

And Siri, who was carrying him at her back, also did the same. White traces were drawn in her blue eyes after she transformed into a golden wolf.

Brackys jaw dropped and then cheered greatly.

Siri looked in front of her. She ran more fiercely to not get ran over, no, to not get left behind.

The golden wolf ran with a speed that was equal to a gale. But that streak of white was still somewhat faster. Faster than sound, it pa.s.sed over the golden wolf.

First it was light. And then came the sound. The sound of thunder that was heard a beat later shook the world.

Father!

Bracky yelled inside the lightning. He raised his own hammer at the same time the lightning shook.

Siri also saw that. Her blood boiled as a warrior of Valhalla before being a G.o.d of hunt of Erin. She yelled aloud even though she was in her golden wolf transformation.

The name of that man.

The name of the strongest G.o.d of Thunder of Asgard!

Kwagang!

Lightning fell. Bracky gave strength to Siri and Siri ran faster. She rapidly chased after the lightning.

Thunder.

The G.o.d of Thunder.

The roar of Mjolnir proved his existence.

Freya said.

Its still too reckless.

Her words werent wrong. It was good to follow her words in most cases but not always.

He must have spent a considerable amount of time. We cant expect what kind of obstructions there may be in the middle.

It was the same this time. Her words were established.

I also know that its a battle of time. Not knowing what kind of obstructions there are also means that we dont know the situation over there. Right, thats why you may feel more uneasy. Perhaps, they may be waiting for our help anxiously. But they are all our family.

You could say that everything had ended already.

They could end up wasting one of their cards in one of their reckless and impossible attempts.

Freya was right like usual. Her words were based on what people called common sense.

And because of that Odin didnt follow her words.

Because war was like that.

There were times that you had to overexert yourself to attain victory.

Only an action that was out of ones common sense could escape of the expectations of the enemy.

They obtained the method to open the connecting path but they still needed time to open it perfectly.

Because of that they had only opened a part of the path and they sent the strongest card to the new master of Asgard, to Odins successor.

A strength needed to forcefully surpa.s.s a door that didnt open properly.

Strength they had to spend to reach the master of Asgard the fastest they could.

The countless obstacles that may be between them.

Freya was right and Odin admitted that. But he convinced her with his next words. It wasnt about that having to overdo it because this was war.

He just called out the name of the man that headed to Olympus once again.

He is Thor.

Freya put on a messy face. She had said before even if its him but she ended up admitting it in the end.

Odin smiled. He stroked the cheek of Freya that was angry but was even more lovely than usual and said.

Lets hurry too.

For it not to end in an unreasonable thing.

To not be too late.

Freyas cheeks swelled up. Odin laughed and looked at a distant place.

He felt like he could hear the sound of thunder beyond the crack in the connecting path that was closing.

&

Poseidon felt someone coming. He had only met him a few times but he was certain of it.

Thats why he hurried. He raised Triana up high and ordered his dependents to ma.s.sacre everything.

And at that same moment.

Thunder flashed.

It wasnt heard from far away.

The light that was faster than sound flashed and after that the loud sound that thundered through the skies and the ground fell to a low place.

Kwagagagagagang`!

Dozens of streaks of thunder fell down. Echidnas children, that didnt retreat even at the difference in numbers, felt fear and joy at the same time when they saw lightning incinerating the sea monsters.

Drakon Ismenios, that was dodging the lumps of water to rescue Athena and Hestia, looked up at the sky for a moment. There were two G.o.ds reflected in his eyes.

Thats a nice thunder.

Thor looked at Bracky while riding on the Odins eight legged horse, Sleipnir, and said.

Bracky fired off thunder with Siri with Thor and laughed in a good mood.

Siri transformed back into the appearance of a G.o.ddess. She had returned Tae Ho the bow of Tristan and instead received the bow of Apollo.

She was interested in Sleipnir the fastest horse of Asgard, that had a similar strength to Talaria of Hermes, but conversing came later.

Thor didnt speak about what had happened to him. How did he open a part of the barrier, what he saw when he pa.s.sed through the connecting path, and how much he suffered to arrive to this place.

But that wasnt all.

Thor didnt ask questions either.

On how Siri and Bracky became G.o.ds of the destroyed world Erin so suddenly.

What was the current situation.

What Thor had to do right now.

But he knew it by instinct. Thats why he told Siri and Bracky.

Lets go.

It was enough with that. Bracky understood his meaning even though they had only exchanged gazes. Siri wanted to ask for more explanations but she endured her urge.

Thor raised Mjolnir and Bracky raised his hammer.

Sleipnir burbled and ran to the right. Bracky and Siri headed off to the left together.

Kwagagagagang!

Thunder exploded once again. The lightning of Asgards and Erins G.o.ds of Thunder churned between the sea monsters and the G.o.ddess of Hunt poured down a rain of arrows with that lightning .

And Tae Ho charged towards Poseidon.

&

Nidhogg was afraid of lightning.

Thats why she curled up and covered her head with her arms. She buried her head in between her knees and closed her eyes.

Nidhogg knew.

That thunder wasnt a scary thing. The reason she kept shedding tears wasnt only because her injuries hurt.

She couldnt do anything.

Hydra was rolling on the ground in pain and Adenmaha, that she liked a lot, had been driven to the brink of death but there was nothing she could do. She had rolled forward a few times but it didnt work.

It was like Ratatoskr had said.

Nidhogg was trash. She was a fool that wasnt of any help and her existence itself was a mistake.

A groan was heard between the sound of thunder as if it was scolding her. It was the groan of Adenmaha.

Nidhogg flinched while covering her ears. She wanted to embrace Adenmaha that was suffering but she couldnt. She didnt have the right to do so.

Tears dropped again. She didnt have the right to cry but she ended up crying out loud.

And a voice was heard again.

[Just what are you thinking about?]

It was the voices of the G.o.ds that could be said to be the specialty of the G.o.ds of Olympus. Nidhogg raised her head in surprise and then realized who was the owner of the voice. It was Echidna, that was lying down next to Adenmaha.

She had her lower body torn apart by force and Triana had riddled holes throughout her body. Regardless of that, she was still alive.

In addition, she was receiving the power of Iduns golden apple tree and had recovered from her injuries a little bit.

Nidhogg let out a sigh of relief for now. When she looked at Echidna with surprised eyes, she snickered and said.

[Im also a G.o.d]

Echidna was still sweating while being in pain because of her injuries but at least her voice was bright.

She let out a sigh with the voices of the G.o.ds. She did so consciously and then checked on Nidhogg.

The ancient dragon of Asgard. An ancient existence that had existed since the beginning of the world compared to Echidna.

But even so she was still a kid. Even if she was old in age, she was still a girl that needed someone to lead her.

You were also a mother in the end.

Echidna laughed when she remembered what Poseidon had told her. Her injuries hurt because of that but she couldnt do anything about it.

Because it was just like he said.

She decided to b.u.t.t her nose in the matters like a mother of many children. She extended her hand to the kid that had lost her mother and became tired of crying.

[Missy has plenty of strength only that its asleep for now. You dont know how to use it properly.]

Nidhogg blinked. The sound of thunder was noisy but she couldnt hear anything. Nidhogg only concentrated on Echidnas voice.

[I will help you this time. But instead, it will hurt a lot. To the point you may want to die. Will it be fine?]

Nidhogg shrank down reflexively and shook her head unconsciously. She didnt like things that hurt. She hated it.

But it only lasted a moment. Nidhoggs eyes rolled and looked at Adenmaha.

Nidhogg closed her eyes. She gritted her teeth and then rubbed her eyes roughly to wipe away the tears.

I will do it.

Nidhogg answered.

And Echidna fulfilled her wish.

&

Poseidon was fl.u.s.tered.

He felt like he had entered a rainstorm.

The sound of thunder didnt end in his surroundings. And thunder and lightning was even flas.h.i.+ng in front of his eyes.

Double flash.

Twelve blades.

Tae Hos sword attacks were accompanied by lightning and storm.

The sword of the round table and Excalibur attacked Poseidon without giving him time to breathe.

There were two main reasons on why Poseidon was fl.u.s.tered.

One was the G.o.ds of thunder that were ma.s.sacring his dependents.

Wasnt there only one Thor? And how did Thor come to this place?

He couldnt answer if this was a fortunate or unfortunate thing. It was because a knowledge that was deep inside the consciousness of Poseidon, that had become the primeval G.o.d of the sea, arose.

He could feel the power of Erin from the other one compared to the pure G.o.d of thunder of Asgard. The two of them were G.o.ds of thunder but there was a difference in their strength.

It should be Thor and his son or his lesser G.o.d. A relations.h.i.+p of that sort.

He could guess to some extent that Thor had arrived. You could say that the horse, Sleipnir, he came riding on was something like Talaria. The speed of the fastest horse was the speed which you thought of so it would be possible to come to this place if he somehow pa.s.sed through the connecting path.

But of course, that was possible only because it was Thor. There was a considerable distance between the connecting path and this place so he must have spent an overwhelming amount of divine power.

The second reason of Poseidons bewilderment was simple yet direct.

The existence in front of him.

Iduns warrior. The G.o.d of battle that came from Asgard. The successor of Odin.

He could feel the strength of Erin, Asgard and even Olympus from the weapon he was holding as it seemed like Aphrodite had let Hephaestus escape.

His strength beyond imagination was also understandable as he was the successor of none other than Odin.

But there was something he couldnt understand. He couldnt accept.

[Just why!?]

Poseidon had become much stronger after transforming into his t.i.tan appearance. On the other hand, Iduns warrior remained the same. Nothing much had changed after he released the aura of a dragon.

But it became harder to face him. He felt like it was rather easier to face him when he was in his human shape.

Why?

Poseidon had gotten stronger. He was releasing a much stronger strength than before!

Poseidons doubt was reasonable but the answer was also clear.

[Saga: Giant ma.s.sacrer]

The saga that had evolved one rank from Giant killer.

The saga he obtained because he ma.s.sacred countless giants.

Give the medicine to the pharmacist and leave the treatment to the doctor.

Cuchulainn was joking but his words werent wrong.
