Chapter 7.09 (2/2)

“Was this caused by you?”

Strong. I could see this the moment I set my eyes on him. He was a person shrouded in immense darkness. For the first time, as I stared into his eyes, I felt that I might lose.

“Move.”

The man said this to me coldly.

-Sutr, this is…

-Right. It’s Loki.

There were many types of summoning.

There was a summoner who used an army of summons. There was a summoner that used a single summon. A summoner that used elementals. A summoner that used demons. A summoner that used G.o.ds. They were all beings that were stronger than men.

A normal summoner would use but a fraction of a G.o.d’s power in battle. But right now, the man in front of me was completely merged with the G.o.d, meaning that he had both the G.o.d’s power and memories.

-Loki’s powers are?

-Ah, that scythe that can shapes.h.i.+ft into just about anything is annoying in itself, but the one thing that’s most annoying is his power.

-What are they?

-There’s too many. Teleportation, earthquakes, and the power to call his three children. I can handle one of his children, but two would be a bit difficult. And… if all three were called, I could lose.

Loki’s children.

The G.o.d-eating wolf, Fenrir. Jormungandr, the world snake. And lastly, the G.o.ddess of the underworld, Hel.

Each and every one of them were immensely powerful. Even if Loki did not call upon the three of them, being able to use their powers would be very difficult.

-And since Loki was the one who provided many G.o.ds with their weapons, he should be able to use them.

-Isn’t that cheating…?

-But so far as I know, only a select few ever contracted Loki. And a person who managed to be able to merge completely with him… I’ve never seen one come out in all of history.

“Storage activate.”

I activated my storage ring. Two daggers came out of the ring.

“Strengthen.”

I strengthened my body as much as I could.

“Sutr, full release.”

“Uoooh!”

I released all the chains that held Sutr back. This was me at my current best.

Then, I smiled as best I could do the man in front of me.

“If I don’t want to move?”

My eyes met with the man’s. At the same time, a sharp, fragile branch came out of his hand.

“The h.e.l.l? Is that the Mistilteinn? Is he crazy? I thought this was a friendly compet.i.tion?”

-That’s a G.o.d-killing weapon! You’ll die if you get hit!

“Die…”

The man made a throwing motion with the branch in his hand. But I wasn’t afraid. In fact, my body relaxed as I once again neared the border between life and death.

-I’ll die if I get hit? Then I just have to dodge, right?

-You idiot!

I lifted the two swords in my hand, and straightened my posture. I’ll dodge as soon as he throws, and… slice.

Flign!

The Mistilteinn escaped the man’s hands. At the same time, I ran forward. But then…

‘He threw it somewhere else?’

I could understand what he was doing once the man spoke.

“You d.a.m.n couples!”

Right. The person he was aiming at wasn’t me, but… the person behind me!

I turned to look at Mistilteinn’s target. When I did, my feet stopped in its tracks.

‘Why?’

I could only question the current situation.

This was because.

This was beacause the G.o.d-killing weapon was aimed at the student council president of Yugrasia himself.
