A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism - 236 235. Hiking in Yggdrasil (1)

“Zeus, this is outrageous. You should have said something… Huh? ”

I thought Oberon had arrived at Olympus without fail because he said it was the light of Olympus.

“Where the hell am I? ”

But it wasn’t Olympus. All I could see in front of Yooseong was something brown.

As I approached, I felt the wooden crust. It was a tree.

“Ah… You can’t be serious. ”

I had a horrible thought in my head, but Yooseong tried to deny it.

“You can’t just send her straight to Yggdrasil unprepared. ”

Yooseong’s happiness circuit began to tighten. Zeus wasn’t unprepared. At the place where Yooseong was first summoned, there was a package.

Glug!

After unpacking the package, a handwritten letter from Zeus appeared, along with a few mysteries.

To Han Yooseong from Hunter.

I ran out of time, so I just sent him straight to Yggdrasil. I’ve packed some useful tools, so you’ll be able to use them. Failure means you’re dead, and I’m probably all dead, so it’s never gonna happen again.

“That’s a dirty little letter. ”

Zeus likes three-line summaries. It wasn’t a long letter, but it was easy to read, but it didn’t look like a castle.

“I want to see what I put in there. ”

There was kindly one note attached to each of the obstacles in the package.

Golden Fleece Mofo

Cover it up when it’s cold because it’s warm. If you sleep without turning to stone, it’s really warm.

The Cup of Wheaties

If you fill it with water when you’re sick, you’ll feel better. A potion for all kinds of pain.

Quenier

This is the helmet my brother used. I borrowed it.It’s my brother’s favorite, so I should give it back when I’m not riding it. Hades likes to keep things tidy, so when he rides, he gets bubbly in his mouth. You know how to write, don’t you? Use it on your head to make it more transparent. I’ll get rid of them neatly, but you’ll have to be careful in front of those monsters in Yggdrasil.

“An invisible helmet from Hades. ”

When I put my helmet on my head, my whole body became transparent. It was easier to move and fit than the optics I used in the New World. Queens had a small reduction to fit the size of his head, but he felt so comfortable that he could not feel what he was wearing on his head.

“As expected, the best god uses different things. ”

The Talaria of Hermes was formidable, but also Queens, a product used by Hades alongside Zeus. I could say that the real tempest is this.

There were still some old habits. I didn’t like the idea of moving directly to Yggdrasil, but I liked taking these items with me.

“Let me see. This is a shield here? ”

I took out the shield underneath the queens. On the front of the shield was a piece of a woman’s head made of snakes with hair.

“What a hideous shield. ”

It was a hideous shield. The sculpture was so exquisitely engraved that it seemed to have cut off the real person’s head and stuck it in.

Aegis

An Athena shield. Medusa? It was originally a mirror shield, and our daughter put Medusa’s head in it. She’s my daughter, but sometimes she’s scary. The ability to petrify is gone as it used to be with the throat cut, but you can lose sight of the enemy’s spirit. You’ll learn how to use it on your own, so don’t try to explain it.

The shield Zeus put inside Medusa’s head, one of the most famous monsters that comes to mind in Roman Greece mythology. It’s Aegis. I’ve never seen anything like it, but I didn’t notice it.

“It’s disgusting, but I’m sure it’ll still work on Lady Athena’s shield. ”

A moderately long one-handed sword is placed beside the shield, neither short nor long.

Harpe

A sword used by Ares.

It’s a simple explanation. But it’s enough to say that Ares, the god of war, is a weapon. Harpe was quite unusual because the upper part of the sword was rounded like a sickle. It is precisely halfway between the sickle and the sword.

Yippee! Yippee!

I thought it would be uncomfortable to use it as a weapon that doesn’t even have a webwriter. I swung it a few times and it was fine.

“Okay, that’s pretty good. ”

In addition, there was the magical pouch of Hera, ‘Chivisis’, which contained the food and drink of Elissium. It was originally written that I wanted to contain food eaten by the gods, but I couldn’t pick Yggdrasil’s Fruit if I ate it, so I put in Elissium’s food.

“Here’s some good bread. ”

He was slightly moved by Zeus’ consideration for taking care of the food.

“Okay, then we’re good to go. ”

The webwriter that popped out in the middle shined to eat the gods’ spirit, but other than that, there was no problem. Yooseong started climbing Yggdrasil wearing a thalaria.

* * *

There are many people in this world who have a great significance for climbing things.

Why are you climbing a mountain? Because there’s a mountain there. “George Mallory,” the British mountain man who said, “and Felipe Benucci, the Italian who escaped from the prison camp to climb Mount Kenya, not during World War II.”

They enjoyed the feeling of achievement at the top of the goal and the rough process, but not Yooseong. Yooseong was sitting on a tree in Yggdrasil right now, wiping his sweat and spewing swear words.

“It’s fucking hard… ”

I thought I could climb Yggdrasil easily with Tallaria, a flying shoe. But you’re not. Yggdrasil holds a strange magic spell. You can’t climb Yggdrasil unless you use your body to climb a tree.

Talaria only helps the body of the meteor not fall under the tree, but does not allow it to fly up the Yggdrasil at the same speed as the wind. The only way to climb Yggdrasil is to climb it with both hands like a rock climbing wall.

“Ow! Put your arms down! I’m going to lose my arm!”

No matter how spiritual, there was a limit to their physical strength. I climbed a tree without rest for more than half a day, and I felt as if my arms were being pulled out.

“Let’s take a break. ”

Yooseong took out bread and drink from Hera’s pocket. Some people used to say that a meal that sweats and eats is sweeter than some food, but that’s all a lie. If you sweat a lot, you lose your appetite because you get tired. The bread of Elissium, which was delicious, felt dull because I struggled to climb Yggdrasil.

“Huh, how long has it been going on? ”

According to the myth, Yggdrasil is a tree that penetrates the nine worlds. I don’t know what the spacing between dimensions is, but it’s definitely more than I imagined. When I looked up, I was still confused. I couldn’t see the end.

“I’m going to die of exhaustion on the climb. ”

Nidhog, Hresbelg, Lattosk, etc. What kind of magic did they cast to get Yggdrasil up and down? I wanted to hear it if I could.

“You don’t look like you can climb with your bare hands. ”

There must be something else. I don’t know what that means.

Yooseong sighed deeply and chewed the bread.

“Oh, it’s so dirty… ”

At that moment, a little squirrel caught the water bottle to hand over bread that felt dry because of the taste.

“Squirrel?”

Yggdrasil and the squirrel. The combination of these two words leads to only one conclusion.

Latatosk!

Latatosk hides among the branches and stares at the bread he lays next to. When I saw him staring at the bread with those furious eyes, I knew he was trying to steal the bread.

“We’ve got to get him! ’

If you don’t want to climb Yggdrasil with your bare hands, you must catch that little squirrel. Otherwise, we will climb Yggdrasil and die as white bones.

Yooseong pretended to chew the bread and spilled latatosk. Latatosk was approaching him quietly, killing the sound of his feet, whether he thought he was losing his mind to eat his bread.

Shah, shah, shah, shah, shah!

Latatosk dared to come closer to the bread to make sure that he didn’t notice him. And Yooseong grabbed Latatosk with both hands when Latatosk bit the bread hot.

Pa!

“I got you! You bastard! Heheheh!”

“Let go of me! Let go!”

Like an animal in Ygdrasil, Latatosk knew how to speak.

“Are you gonna hit me? You gonna hit me? You gonna hit me or what? ”

Latatosk repeats the same words with a quick blow to the outsider. It was really loud. It won’t be as noisy as these five high school students. Moreover, Latatosk’s voice kept ringing in his ears as to how high-toned it was.

“Ahhhh! Shut up! I’m not gonna hit you! ”

“Really? Really? Really? You’re not lying, are you? You’re not lying, are you?”

“I’m not gonna hit you! Open your mouth one more time and I’ll throw you under the Yggdrasil! ”

“Huff!”

Latatosk closes his mouth to the fierce threat of the meteor throwing him under Yggdrasil when he talks more.

“What’s with all the noise? ”

Zeus and Loki mentioned Latatosk was chattering the other day, but they didn’t expect it to be this noisy.

“There he is. You know, can I ask you a question? You want me to say yes? Huh?”

“You said you’d throw it down here if I told you. ”

“Are you going to eat that bread? You’re not eating, are you? Are you going to eat it? ”

The threat of Yooseong was very temporary. Latatosk was obsessed with bread. Yooseong gave bread to Latatosk as it seemed good to just hand it over to him and shut him up.

“Well, Delicious. Bloody hell.”

I don’t know where I heard this, but Latatosk began to eat bread with a strange admiration.

“Yum yum.”

“Hey, squirrel. ”

“Tsk?”

“You came down from up there. ”

“Yes! Yes! The top of Yggdrasil is my house. My house… 20 years after Odin was first born… ”

“I don’t want to hear about it, so shut up. ”

Yooseong hung up on Latatosk because it seemed like the story of the Two-Murch Toker was about to start.

“How did you get down here if you were home on top of Yggdrasil? It’s gonna be huge. ”

“Curious? Curious? You want to know? Or not?”

“Don’t answer questions with questions. ”

“Shhh! Put me down! Put me down, you squirrel! ”

Yooseong, who was annoyed with Latatosk’s attitude to keep biting his horse tail, grabbed Latatosk’s neck and held out his hands. Later, Latatosk was shocked and replied.

“Elevator! I took the elevator! Let me out of here! ”

I found a way up to Yggdrasil.
