< Episode 396. Arrival and the calm before the storm >
It’s been 12 hours since I left Sanyang’s tavern.
We finally arrived in Shaiya.
“This is Shay.”
Nebro expressed strange emotions as he looked at the cityscape that appeared before his eyes. I also looked at Shaiya, hiding my surprise in a different way than Nebro.
‘The Shaiya I saw was a desert.’
Is this the desert? It was such a beautiful city that people even said, Of all the cities I have ever seen, it was the biggest and yet strangest.
“I can already feel the energy of the enemies! Hahaha!”
And as he looked at the city, Thor burst into laughter.
Just as Thor had said, the energy felt from all directions was covering the surroundings as if they were suffocating. I could sense that it was not just the minions who had come, but also numerous transcendents who had come in person.
“What do we do now?”
“Hahaha! There’s nothing to be afraid of! “We just have to continue our adventure!”
Thor walked towards the city with confident steps. Nebro looked at Thor and stood next to Ilias as if he was guarding him.
-joy! You don’t even care about me!
“Oh, I’m sorry. “I will definitely protect Green Narae as well.”
As Nebro smiled awkwardly and said, the green snail flapped its small wings and chased after Thor.
“Nebro.”
“Yes, Ilias.”
“This is the first time I’ve come here safely.”
Ilias whispered in a low voice. I could clearly feel the anxiety contained within it.
‘I knew about the future until now, but now that I don’t know it, I’m going to feel anxious.’
Plus, with your destination in front of you, those feelings will deepen.
[“Walk confidently.”]
He conveyed his will to the anxious two.
[“Anyway, the enemies are aware of our existence. “Nothing good will come of showing you scared here.”
Even if it was just to catch the other person off guard, it wasn’t good to show a negative side. If you act openly and confidently like Thor, your enemies won’t be able to make any moves.
‘It is not a small force that has come.’
As I felt these energies, it seemed as if all the forces existing on the continent had gathered together. Among them, there will be some targeting Galakshur, others just watching, others aiming for fishermen, etc.
“There were more enemies than expected, so I got nervous.”
[“Rather good. “The enemies are not one force, so they will not be able to attack us carelessly because they are keeping each other in check.”]
“I see.”
Nebro, who heard my will, nodded with a much better expression.
“You clowns! What are you doing there! “Hurry, follow me!”
“Yes, I’ll go.”
Thor’s shout carried strong energy and spread to the surrounding area. The brightness of the city that seemed to have fallen asleep with him came to life.
A huge magic city filled with misshapen flowers.
I entered Shaiya, where the colorful colors of all kinds of plants and futuristic-looking buildings harmonize.
**
The area of the city was enormous even at a glance. Considering that the land was a desert, it was a size that was understandable, but when there were high-rise buildings that were not found in other cities, it caused confusion to the point where one wondered if this was the same world.
“Thor!”
“Haha! “Who is this!”
In that city, someone who had managed to find Thor was seen approaching. Looking at Thor’s warm welcome, it doesn’t seem like he’s an enemy…
“TRP! “Where have you been?”
“Where have you been? “Thor left me!”
The person who appeared was a boy. He looked at Thor casually and then looked at our group standing behind him.
“These are Galak’shur’s carriers.”
“They’re my clowns! Hahaha!”
“Are you going to laugh now? “Don’t you know that the gods of Asgard are in an uproar?”
A boy named T.R.P. pounded his chest in frustration. Then she immediately gestured towards us.
“Don’t try to get involved with Thor anymore. “The help ends here.”
Looking at the situation, it seemed like Thor was helping us on his own. To be honest, I still didn’t understand why they were helping us, so I had nothing to say.
“what are you talking about! “The adventure is almost over!”
“What an adventure! “I feel so bad because of the rumor that Thor is helping them.”
T.R.P., who was speaking passionately, suddenly stopped talking and opened his eyes wide. His gaze was aimed squarely at Thor’s severed arm.
“Thor?”
“no! “I will definitely finish the adventure.”
“Oh, no, that’s not it… What happened to your arm?”
In response to TRP’s question, Thor took a pose to build his unique muscles. But without his left arm, something felt empty.
“Hahaha! “It’s a medal!”
“decoration?”
“A new guy named Cheonma came over recently! He was strong! Hahahaha!”
As Thor laughed, TRP fell to the floor. Then he immediately turned his gaze towards us.
“Because of you!”
“What are you talking about, TRP! This is my choice! “Blaming those around you doesn’t help at all!”
Thor grinned and grabbed T.R.P. by the back of his neck, who had fallen down, and lifted him up.
“Why on earth are you helping them so much!”
“huh? “Why are you saying this when adventure is right in front of you?”
Thor looked at TRP with an expression of incomprehension. He looked as if he had been asked why his heart was beating when he was breathing.

“Ha, well, there can’t be a reason. “It was on a whim that you took me away…”
“You’re making me sad by what you say, T.R.P.! What a whim! Hahaha!”
“Anyway, now we are in a situation where we don’t know when or what will happen. Tyr and Skadi are here.”
TRP continued to look at us while talking to Thor. It seemed as if he was telling us to watch and listen…
‘I’m sorry, but I don’t know what Tyr and Skadi are doing.’
I knew Thor because he was so famous, but I didn’t know about those two. They must be gods from Norse mythology, right?
“Not only that, but strong people came from other places as well. ah! Hrungnir also came.”
“Hrungnir! Good thing he came too! Hahaha! “I will take this opportunity to taste his bone marrow!”
The news that strong guys were here ended up irritating Thor. T.R.P. seemed to have realized this too, as she covered her own face and let out a sigh.
“Thor, I might really die this time.”
“Not moving forward for fear of death is something only cowards do.”
Thor smiled leisurely at T.R.P.
“Think about why I was able to become strong and famous, T.R.P.”
“I don’t know. “It’s actually good because if Thor dies, the contract between us will be broken.”
TRP was grumbling, but even a stranger could tell that he was worried about Thor.
“Ugh. Now that I think about it, the introduction is late! This guy is my servant, T.R.P. “He’s an ordinary human being.”
“Why talk to people who are going to die anyway? That’s it.”
After saying those words, TRP disappeared somewhere. When he saw the movement disappearing in an instant, he could guess that he was no ordinary person.
“It’s embarrassing! Hahaha!”
“First, we have to finish transporting Galakshur.”
Even though we don’t know Thor, these were TRP’s words that made us anxious. Would you say it feels like you have entered a tiger’s den?
Ilias also nodded at Nebro’s words and took the lead.
“From here on out, Ilias will stand in front.”
“Hmm, Galakshur should be moved to the center, right?”
“huh.”
Speaking of the center…
[“Are you talking about the center of this city?”]
“huh.”
It seems like it would take at least a few days to walk to the center of such a large city. Arriving at Shaiya wasn’t the end.
Sussseu-
And from the moment we entered the city, there were signs following us openly. They didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding their energy, but each and every one of them had the energy of a transcendent person.
“Hahaha! Feel so good! Anyone, come out and attack! “Thor will deal with you!”
In that situation, Thor was using a wide-area taunt, so it was understandable that Nebro’s complexion was getting worse.
[“At least, come to your senses. Are you going to come all the way here and leave your comrades to die?”]
“Oh, no!”
I also had one thing in common with Thor.
That means I’m not that afraid of my own death. Is it because I have always lived with death by my side?
But, or rather, that was why I was afraid of the deaths of people around me. My feelings were strongly projected onto Nebro.
[“Nevro, are you afraid of death?”]
“Well, I don’t know. “It’s scary.”
[“What about Ilias’ death? What if Green Narae dies?”]
“ah······.”
Nebro groaned softly as if he had realized something through my question.
[“You have to come to your senses to save both of them. At the very least, while you are still alive, we should prevent you from dying right in front of your eyes.”]
“yes!”
For Nebro, these people were the only relationship that existed in the world. That’s why I will care for them as much as I care for my own people.
‘Maybe more than I think…’
So we led all the groups and headed to the center of Shaiya.
**
The center of Shaiya, the place where the altar is located.
It was a situation where numerous gods and transcendents had already gathered.
“I only have one thing to eat, but a lot of people came here.”
“We are here to stop you, you scoundrels.”
“Hehe. Then, as soon as I see the opportunity, I pretend to be noble and say I will put it in my mouth…”
Due to the energy of the transcendentals, ordinary people could not even come near the place where the altar was located. There were so many transcendents that one wonders if something like this has ever happened in the history of the continent.
“What, the Fighting Victory Buddha also came?”
“Is that all? “All kinds of weird people came.”
The news that Galakshur had arrived in Shaiya had already spread. Thanks to this, everyone was on high alert and wary of each other.
In fact, the people carrying Galakshur seemed to have no thought at all.
“I heard there’s Thor.”
“I heard that one of his arms was cut off.”
“Thor’s arm? “Who on earth?”
The eyes of those who were talking turned to a man in black who was drinking lazily on one side.
The Heavenly Demon, who instantly became famous by cutting off Thor’s arm, was there.
“hmm?”
The Cheonma was drinking alcohol, paying no heed to the countless stares, and then suddenly raised her head. Sodalgi, who was with him, showed interest in the reaction.
“Why are you doing this, brother?”
“Are you not feeling it?”
At Cheonma’s words, Dal-gi tilted his head and looked in Cheonma’s direction. There, a lifeless beetle wearing a hood was walking, holding on to his cane.
“You seem to be an unusual person. “I can’t feel any energy…”
“You don’t feel any energy?”
Cheonma put down the drink she was drinking and sat down, looking nervous. Dalgi then smiled, thinking that Cheonma was making fun of him.
“I didn’t know that Brother Cheonma was this playful. Ho Ho.”
“Is this a joke?”
The Heavenly Demon muttered in a cold voice without even looking at Dalgi. Only then did Dal-gi realize what was wrong and tried to look for the person wearing the hood once again, but he had already disappeared.
“That guy just now…?”
“Hehehe, hehehe!”
The Heavenly Demon suddenly burst into laughter, took a close look at the gathered Transcendents, and raised the corners of his mouth once again.
“It seems like causality is at work.”
“yes?”
“There was no need to go looking for it. You came here yourself. “He’s lucky.”
“Onii-sama, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Dalgi gave a cute, pouty response with a frustrated face. However, the Heavenly Demon just muttered without wavering at all.
“A person has come who is covered in all sins and shackles.”
“A person covered in all sins and shackles?”
Cheonma did not answer Dalgi’s curiosity as he tilted his head as if asking what that was. I just pick up my drink again, imagining the chaos that will soon occur.
