Chapter 77. What God Left Behind

“I can’t do this…!”
The incarnation of the sea god shouted. A dark, damp, deep sea-like force emanated from his body and then faded away.
Whiing.
After awakening, the blood sword Brika sucked his power. Gleipnir sealed the flow of the Divine. Tyr’s power completely blocked the outside intervention.
Tyr was the God of war. He was a god of law, a god of courage, and also a god of the duel.
Under Tyr’s power, they sealed each other’s transcendent powers and just fought with each other physically.
No one can’t intervene from the outside, and you can’t get out of the inside. The loser falls, and only the winner survives.
Puck!
Blood splashed, the skin was torn and the muscles were swollen. The bones are broken and restored again.
puck!
Ivan’s left fist smacks Kyle’s face. For a brief moment, he went beyond mortal and defeated the incarnation of the gods.
Of course, Kyle didn’t fall down with one punch. Although he was unable to use the transcendent power that moved the sea, he was still the incarnation of God. He rushed to Ivan with the power emanating from his body, which was different from ordinary humans.
Puck!
Ivan splashed blood in one punch. His ribs were broken, throbbing, and his chest tightened. But he endured the pain and took a step forward. Without getting down on his knees, he swung his fists.
puck!
Kyle’s head turned as if his neck was broken. His lips ripped, his cheekbones crumbled, and his brain shook. But he clenched his teeth and fought again.
It was not a battle of superhumans with strong powers. It was not even a battle of a warrior who had sharpened his superior skills. It wasn’t even the battle of an incarnation that received divine power.
It was not sacred, it was not sublime, it was not splendid. However, the primal battle between body-to-body and fist-to-fist was fiercer than anything else.
If you hit one, you got hit once. If you hit two, you got hit twice. The battle in which the powers were sealed was extremely pure and honest. They exchanged like that without even the slightest fake motion.
There was nothing to dodge or block, the battle of a manly man. In such a battle, Ivan could not lose.
thud!
Ivan’s fist broke the opponent’s jaw. The body, which had become the incarnation of the gods for a short time, recovered even the broken jawbone in an instant, but when Ivan’s fists, who had once seized victory, hit in succession, Kyle could not come to his senses.
It was only after he hit him to the floor as if he had completely chopped his face, Ivan was able to steal the transparent marble he was holding, the heart of the sea god.
Whiing.
As if recognizing this as a victory, Tyr’s battlefield collapsed. The seals that bound each other were loosened and Gleipnir disappeared as if it had melted into the air.
Ssk-.
The heart of the sea god radiated a magical light. Unspeakable fear and despair came rushing in, and fragments of emotions that could not be completed in words tried to color him.
At the moment when the power of the old God, who had lost his incarnation, was about to contaminate Ivan’s mind, Tyr stood up. He prevented the winner of the duel from collapsing.
Hot energy surged from the depths of Ivan’s body. Courage bloomed, pushing away indescribable fear and despair.
Ivan cried low as he looked at the old God, tyrant of the deep sea, now deprived of control of the sea and exiled.
“I am not afraid of you.”
He did not kneel to the gods of Asgard, who always watched him with interest. He did not bow his head to the Great Evil who was aiming for his soul. So he wouldn’t do that to the old God, who was banished a long time ago.
‘Tyrant of the deep sea, do not rise above the surface anymore.’
As Ivan muttered to himself and stared at him, the old God of the sea returned to the depths of the sea again. He closed his eyes, as he had for many years.
But he will soon open his eyes. He will wake up from his sleep. Then the whole world will know how angry the old God of the sea was.
Ivan guessed it but sighed in relief. For now, he was just glad that the tyrant of the deep sea had gone.
“Whoa……”
He flopped down on the floor. His body, which had always been overflowing with strength, limped, and his legs relaxed. Belatedly, his whole body throbbed, and pain came rushing in.
Whoa!
A divine light resided in Ivan’s body. It ripped and healed his broken wounds and energized him.
Delfino approached with a frown.
“Are you okay? A little while ago, there was……”
Sealed the incarnation of the God who moved the sea. In such a place where the influence of the sea god is strong, the connection was broken, and the incarnation of God was made into a solid sandbag.
It was an astonishing surprise. Even when high-ranking priests with strong divine power gathered, it was an achievement that was only possible by creating a holy barrier for more than a few weeks.
It was done on the fly, so Delfino was just worried. What did he give him in exchange for such power?
Ivan noticed Delfino’s thoughts and grinned.
“Don’t worry. Because this time it’s nothing much.”
“It was a great power. I don’t think the price will ever be light…”
“It’s really good this time.”
Ivan glanced at his right arm. He had lost all his strength and couldn’t even feel it, but now, little by little, his strength is returning. It seemed that he would recover completely in no time.
“God took the burden I couldn’t bear, and I doubt it, but it’s surprisingly fine.”
According to the character of the God of Asgard, which Ivan experienced during that time, his right arm would have been cut off rather than sealed for a while.
He honestly thought it might be so, so he was prepared in his heart, but there was nothing wrong with his body. Ivan was very puzzled.
‘Are you going to settle this all at once? Or is there an open event this time since we signed a new contract? Because they’re not that kind……’
Ivan’s heart was filled with distrust and then dispersed.
Well, Tyr felt a little different.
Originally, in Norse mythology, the main God was called Tyr. That changed over the years to Thor and Odin.
Maybe Tyr was pushed out of the given position in Norse mythology since he was not so shady or tricky.
Just look at how he willingly lays out his right arm to catch the rampaging Fenrir. Whatever the reason or process, it meant that he had to sacrifice himself.
It was a story that was hard to find in Asgard, where betrayal, intrigue, conspiracy and violence were the virtues.
Yes, it must have been because Thor and Odin hit the back of his head that caused Tyr to be expelled from the position of the supreme God.
‘Thor, Odin! These dirty bastards!
As Ivan muttered to himself, sparks flew and the wind blew in protest.
Cheeky!
Whii!
Ivan felt someone’s pitiful gaze. Then there was the sound of laughter and grabbing his stomach next to him.
-Ah ha ha ha!
Loki, who smiled and hit the ground for a while, gave Ivan a present.
Whoops!
Suddenly, a flame of fire rose from the back of Ivan’s right hand and then disappeared. Looking for something, he saw a compass-like figure engraved like a tattoo.
‘What kind of joke is this again?’
Tattoo on other people’s bodies, what are you doing?
Ivan was looking at it with such a twisted expression, and the arrow pattern engraved on the back of his hand moved slowly. It’s not just a tattoo. It’s really pointing somewhere.
“This isn’t unusual, but once in a while, let’s just move along….”
Ivan, who was talking to him, bit his mouth. It was because he saw that Irene had some complicated eyes.
In front of her was the body of Thomas Meyer, with an arrow piercing his heart. While Ivan was fighting the incarnation of the sea god, they also fought quite fiercely.
“What, why?”
Irene noticed Ivan’s gaze and turned her head. Her eyes suddenly returned to the same as usual.
A gloomy expression, dreamy and languid eyes, and an indifferent face.
Ssk!
She put the tobacco pipe in her mouth and set it on fire. She took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke. Her complex emotions and old memories seemed to flow like smoke.
“…I was wondering if we could follow this arrow.”
“What is that? When did it appear?”
“It’s a playful gift from God. I’m a little worried, but I can’t just ignore it.”
“If it is a gift from God, it must be something. Let’s move on. Which way is it?”
The heart left by the tyrant of the deep sea, that is, the orb of the sea, was sealed by Ivan and Delfino. It had strong power, but it could not be used arbitrarily because it was connected with God.
So if they just went back like this, there was no reward. They had to get at least gold coins and jewels to come this far and be worth the effort.
The people who took them as a guide to find the treasure have turned their eyes into madness and are all dead, so they have no choice but to follow Loki’s arrow.
Originally, in Norse mythology, Loki was a god who searched for treasure from place to place. He won’t be fooling around at all.
“Let’s hurry. If we come this far, we should bring what you need to bring.”
Ivan glanced up at the sky. Repeating the same time forever, the fixed sky broke and the sun slowly rose. It means that the dungeon covering the island is collapsing. It was natural to take care of the heart of the sea god, which was the dungeon core.
Loki’s arrow pointed to a hidden cave in the island’s center. Originally, it would have been guarded by numerous variants, but now they are all down. The magic that maintained the dungeon was cut off, so there was no way it would be okay.
When they went to the deepest part, they found treasures equivalent to three or four wooden boxes. Silver tableware and ornate weapons, a pile of silver coins and a bag of gold coins.
“It’s a bit vague. If it’s a jackpot, it’s a jackpot, but it seems too simple for a treasure that Carly Hawkins hid…”
Irene made a face as if the steam had leaked out. She said that the treasure hunt was meaningless, as she seemed to be expecting quite a bit.
“Well, this is not bad. A jewel is such a wonderful thing, it must be worth much more than it looks. At least we earned something.”
Ivan, who was sweeping the treasure into his inventory, suddenly looked at the back of his left hand. Loki’s arrow was still moving.
‘What else is there?’
This was all he could see. He wanted to see if there was any hidden room, so he followed the arrow and looked around, but there was no such thing. It was just pointing at an old belt.
‘There were a lot of treasures around, but only this old belt?’
It looked too ordinary to be a treasure that Loki could point to. Ivan wonders if some of the pirates left their belts here.
“What the hell is this……”
Ivan picked up the belt with a shaky expression on his face, but it didn’t feel particularly great. Was this really a treasure?
At that moment, Ivan’s right eye began to glow golden. Wisdom’s eyes see the invisible moved at will and read the belt.
And Ivan could appreciate this belt.
Megingjörð means Belt of Strength. A magical belt that unconditionally doubles the wearer’s strength.
Ivan blinked his eyes blankly.
‘…why is Thor’s belt here?’
Cheeky!
Sparks went out. It sounded like the thunder god’s laughter was heard in embarrassment.
