Episode 226 Idun’s Gift
“...wasn’t the monster I made to catch...?”
Idun laughed while watching Jaehyun’s battle with a puzzled expression.
What the hell is this?
“It happens all the time, so I’m not surprised.”
Hella shrugged strangely and received the word.
Well, for her, it wasn’t once or twice that Jaehyun showed a side beyond her imagination. That kind of reaction was normal.
However, it was not Idun.
Of course, he handled both the first and second quests brilliantly, but it was only in his imagination.
No matter how lax a god Idun may be, isn’t his opponent only a human?
I had already predicted to some extent how he would use his wits and how he would overcome them.
I’m sure it must have been like that....
I wrote down the words ‘Hidden Clear Conditions’... but I never thought I’d kill the Executioner. Does this make sense?’
It was just a phrase written to motivate the enemy.
Idun covered his face with his hands in a situation that clearly went against his intentions.
Then Hella asked, pouring oil on her situation.
“I look forward to it. What is the ‘big gift’ you’re going to give to Jaehyun?”
Horok.
Hella said that with a mean smile and sipped her tea.
Idun grabbed the hem of her blouse and looked at her for a moment, but soon smiled with a dejected expression.
Anyway, good is good.
“It would be good if the adversary became stronger...”
Idun had no choice but to seriously worry about what he would be robbed of after Nidhogg’s fangs were strengthened.
* * *
―You have cleared the main quest The Trial of Idun (2).
―You have cleared the special quest 《Executioner Judge》.
―You cleared the quest through the hidden route.
―Compensation is increased.
Jaehyun made a satisfied expression as he saw the messages that came to mind one after another.
“I had to take a bit of a risk... but anyway, the rewards are increased.”
In fact, in the battle just before, Jae-Hyun was able to successfully finish the last wave somehow if he dragged out time.
There is no disadvantage for not fulfilling the hidden clear conditions, and Jaehyun has already gained a lot from this ordeal.
There was no reason for him to act like that.
I’ve been doing well so far, but a mistake here could have been dangerous.
However, Jaehyun accepted the anxiety factor and took the path to receive more rewards.
‘If it were me before the return, I would never have chosen the path.’
As he went through the hell of Nastrond, Jaehyun felt that he had become stronger.
Not only that. In fact, the third ordeal itself greatly improved his mental side.
Originally, Jaehyun’s mentality was very strong, but he wasn’t the type to take risks and fight like he does now.
In any case, preserving his own life was Jaehyun’s top priority.
However, this time, Jaehyun clearly realized that he could not grow higher in the near future in that way.
In the showdown with Nidhogg and the three waves, he learned a lot.
‘You always have to think to go in a better direction. There is a limit to repeating meaningless battles.’
Jaehyun was thinking of going further.
Silently, as always.
Geeeeing...!!
At that moment, a white light appeared all over his body, and his body was sent somewhere.
He frowned and closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them, Jaehyun was already on the terrace of Idun.
Idun was frowning at Jaehyun with his hand on his waist.
“...Tch! Congratulations on passing the ordeal!”
“...isn’t that a welcoming face at all?”
It was this land where the other gods were also salivating and begging for a little bit.
‘I’m also sharing the land with a big heart!’
Idun thought so, but couldn’t get it out of his mouth.
It was because he thought he would look too small.
Instead, she forced a frown and acted displeased.
“You’re saying it because you don’t know, so I’ll be generous with it, but the value of my land is enormous!
As for the other things you can do with the land, you’ll learn more when you get back to the garden with this key. We have prepared a suitable tutorial for you!”
“All right. I don’t mean to make you feel bad...”
Jaehyun tried to calm him down, but suddenly got angry.
Yes, the reward is good and everything is good.
But suddenly, raising the difficulty of the ordeal or sending it to Nidhogg...
In terms of reproduction, Idun suffered a lot!
Now he also had a reason to be angry with Idun. Jaehyun gritted his teeth.
“...It seems to be the fault of both sides. Should I apologize?”
Jaehyun’s words were tinged with a strange eerie feeling.
Idun quickly averted his gaze and mumbled.
“Oh no...”
“It feels cool after a long time.”
Hella rarely praised Jaehyun. It seems that the two do not get along very well.
Or should I see it as a good thing?
“Quickly give me the next reward. There are still rewards left to give.”
At Hella’s urging, Idun said with her tear-stained face in full bloom.
“My next reward... is the right to drink tea with me!”
“......?”
There, I had no choice but to express my pure doubts.
The right to drink tea together...?
“Isn’t that true?”
Jaehyun forgot that he was being rude and said that.
Meanwhile, at his words, Idun hesitated and stepped back with a shocked expression.
‘You refused the tea time I suggested...?’
Idun was a beautiful god no matter who saw it.
How many people in the anti-Esir faction wanted to drink tea with him!
But the human adversary refuses his offer?
All of a sudden, she felt rejected and had to hang her head.
Jaehyun just tilted his head with an expression that he still couldn’t understand.
Idun said in a crawling voice.
“Drinking tea isn’t the main thing, but I actually have something to say. It’s a story you need to hear.”
“As expected... What kind of gift would drinking tea be?”
Jaehyun’s face quickly became satisfied.
Idun looked at Jaehyun with a curiously sharp expression.
Jaehyun asked without even paying attention.
“so. What is the story you are going to tell me?”
“Your destiny, the antagonist of the prophecy.”
The emotions on Lee Doon’s face are erased in an instant, and his eyes turn to Jaehyun.
A subtle herbal scent was felt from the fresh green hair. However, there was also an unknown feeling of uneasiness leaking out of him.
“Do you remember the contents of the prophecy that came down in the past nine worlds?”
“The weakest being, the opponent of the prophecy, will destroy Asgard and Odin... isn’t that what it says?”
“that’s right. But there is one thing you don’t know.”
“What do you not know?”
“Prophecy is not everything. There is more to follow.”
Idun laughed brightly.
“From now on, I will tell you the second half of the prophecy from 10,000 years ago. This is information that has not been allowed to you until now.”
