Chapter 146 - Three Norns (5) (2/2)
In its place, there was a new ashy world
And tens of colossal boa constrictors lifted their heads to look down
Hiss Hiss Their sharp tongues glistened
“…!”
In front of the tens of snakes, Urd stiffened
Boa constrictors were ons and Gods in a bite They were Herth
“I hope you don’t forget abouta bit annoyed because others were trying to take hiht?”
Urd clenched her fist Hermes was one of the only Gods who couldand the land of the dead
So he could appear in the lower floors hiy
If she got on his bad side, then everything was over He could make the boa constrictors eat her and she wouldn’t be able to say anything
Eventually Urd had to step back Even if she was humiliated, Hermes had the power
“That’s a relief Since you understand what I’htly sround The boa constrictors glared at Urd and disappeared after them
The holy territory turned back into the black that symbolized Urd But her pride didn’t come back
“Hepburn”
“Yes, master”
At Urd’s command, Hepburn appeared from the dark with her head bowed
Because Yeon-as gone, the shadow under her chin was gone
“S that child Using whatever means”
If she couldn’t have it, she would break it That was the stubbornness that Urd had retained for a long tie at what Hermes had said about Yeon-woo, that he had called dibs on him
The Her tied down So even though he becareed for possession
But she felt uneasy seeing Heraze she saw in his eyes wasn’t reed
‘The eyes when one wants to protect so frohtly under wraps so so i about it’
Urd thought there was a reason why Hermes was so protective of Yeon-woo And she didn’t like that Athena and Dionysus were interested in Yeon-woo
They were the second generation that hadn’t committed any crimes amidst the Olympus full of dethroners
Since Urd was able to see a God’s past as well, she felt that so
Her
Hepburn bowed at the coht, she closed the door and quietly left
At thatsharp froht when she was able to tell her to stop
Before she could speak, Hepburn’s body was separated fro shadow carried Hepburn’s soul and disappeared into nothingness The Monster Portent that she thought ith Yeon-as hiding in Hepburn’s shadow all this time
So if Urd had ordered Hepburn to hurt him, the Monster Portent would immediately act
It was hidden so well that Urd didn’t notice it No, because the power left behind by Her with her dulled senses She had been too lax
And the result of that laxness Came back too severely
“Ackkk!!”
Urd couldn’t chase after the Monster Portent A terrible pain shook her holy power
Apostles were connected to their Gods, and their spiritual body Now that it was forcefully ripped away, it could only be painful
And Hepburn was a precious high elf that Urd had obtained after struggling for a long time Since she was a Superior species, she was that priceless The backlash fro Urd had to protect herself in the world alone
shi+ver
The darkness shook
And that day, the 16th floor was upheaved at the halt of an oracle
[This is the 17th floor, the gate of ‘White Air and Blue Water’]
Yeon-woo h a blue portal
He had officially begun his climb, and his head was filled with annoyance from Urd
But the h the Black Bracelet with Hepburn’s soul, his annoyance melted away like snow
The soul of a Superior species was as hard to get as a high ranker No, it was much harder Especially if it had the power of a God
He wasn’t sure but Hepburn’s soul was probably full of holy power forced from Urd
Yeon-woo already started to think about where to use that power
‘Of course, now I’m completely made enemies with the Three Norns It’ll be a nuisance for the tiin to create a search teaht useto be annoying, but it actually ht be for the better
Since he used all the souls that he had frothen Shanon and others It was an opportunity to replenish
Actually, Yeon-woo thought he knehy Urd was trying to get to hier sister and play with him like he was her toy
So Yeon-woo felt offended, and he kicked the door open on the way out He decided to leave the Monster Portent hidden in the shadows
Also
What Urd had pointed out in her holy territory were things he are of as well
His experience in the past and what happened to his brother They were all things that made Yeon-woo be suspicious of people
Even when he was in Africa, he hadn’t been able to easily trust others When he entered the Tower, he suspected everyone
But now, it was different
He had ed
But the last two lines in his brother’s diary were imprinted in his mind deeply like a stamp
You were like my hero I hope you don’t lose that side of you because I’m hurt
With these words, there was no way he would change
Since he couldn’t beco brother to his little brother
