Episode 174
It is a tenacious and strong creature.
The matryoshka doll, who was once a devil, felt it.
The strength, strength, and vitality felt in a small body.
Mir, who had been crushed, appeared to be currently unconscious.
His eyes were white, blood was pouring out, and he was crushed to pieces.
How many bones in the whole body were broken?
An ordinary person would have died instantly… … .
[…] … … .]
This isn’t enough.
This is definitely the type to follow.
The doll jumped once again and fell down, crushing the entire body of Mir, who had already lost consciousness.
Quang! Quang! Quang!
Once was not enough, so two, three, four times.
The floor was caved in.
If the space under the hallway had been empty, it would have collapsed.
The doll knows.
Most of the space down the hallway was filled with dirt. It is designed so that it does not collapse even when the doll advances.
[…] … … .]
And the doll confirmed the complete silence of the small and troublesome being.
The bloated body faced forward again.
I know that all four of you are still staying on this floor.
It was the moment when the doll tried to move to the nearest enemy.
* * *
Northern snowfield.
Home of the frost giants.
Homeland was a place with few good memories for the Mir Giant.
“hey! “You little bastard!”
“… “I’m not a little bastard.”
Mir replied gruffly and looked behind him.
Then the navel of a member of the same age caught my eye. A grumbling voice came from above.
“You little bastard! Where are you looking? Don’t you know that when talking, you have to make eye contact with the other person? why. “Are you going to say hello to my belly button?”
“… … .”
There’s no way you wouldn’t know.
Of course I know.
Even though Mir was small, he often thought that his brain was at least bigger than this idiot.
Still, he didn’t raise his head.
Because the act of simply raising your head and looking up at the other person hurt your pride.
Mir forced himself to stare into space.
“Do you have something to say to me?”
“The day before yesterday. I saw Rakita’s younger brother, and he’s already bigger than you? “He’s only four years old!”
“… … .”
“huh? You little bastard! Shame on you! Even the chief would want to throw someone like you into the ice lake!”
“… Turn it off.”
“what? “Your voice is so small that it’s hard to hear.”
“It’s so loud!”
Even at this time, Mir’s voice was loud.
The moment the giant of his age covered his ears, Mir ran towards the house.
“father!”
And immediately I looked for my father.
[Frost Wolf] The chief of the tribe and the greatest warrior of the tribe.
“Yes? My proud daughter! “What’s going on?”
“Why, why am I so small… … !”
“uh… … .”
Mir looked up at his father with a tearful face.
Even among giants, the figure of my proud father, who had a particularly large body, looked cruel today.
“Am I really my father’s child?”
“Of course! “You are my only daughter!”
“But why am I so small!”
“hmm. As I said, there are individual differences in growth. So someday you too-.”
“Someday, someday, someday!” When is that one day? I’m already twelve too… … !”
Mir cried out, tearing out his head.
“I was teased again today! I was teased yesterday too! And I’ll probably be made fun of tomorrow too… … !”
“Uhm… … .”
“I heard that Lalunda is already going hunting with his group… … . The day before yesterday, I saw him catch five ice boars bigger than me… … . As for me, I was digging a hole in the ice and fishing… … .”
“… … .”
“You can’t be a warrior like this… … . [Frost Wolf] A shame to the tribe… It will be a shame to my father… … .”
Father looked down at Mir.

And then I lifted up my only daughter.
“Uh… … ?”
“Follow me for a moment.”
“father?”
The father lifted Mir onto his shoulders without saying a word and left the house.
The moment I looked at it, I remembered Lalunda’s frown.
– Even the tribal leader would want to throw someone like you into the ice lake!
Then the small body began to tremble.
‘Is my father finally planning to abandon me?’
Mir was terrified, but he didn’t dare say a word. His father, with a straight face, was completely different from usual. He seemed like the scariest person in the world.
‘Even if I’m abandoned… I can’t help it… … . ‘Because I’m this small.’
Even before Mir knew the word resignation, he already understood that feeling.
I didn’t know if it was right to fall into the ice lake like this. At least then I won’t be a bother to my father anymore.
Mir thought so, but before he knew it, tears were falling from his big eyes.
“Mir, you can open your eyes.”
“Ugh… … ? wait for a sec… … .”
The cool chill of the north.
The tears that flowed froze, making it difficult to open my eyes.
Father pressed Mir’s head with his large finger.
Rough, but warm hands.
Mir liked his father’s fingers.
I was so sad to think that today would be the last time I felt this feeling.
Mir said, rubbing the corners of his eyes.
“father… “What’s underneath the ice lake?”
“what? “Stop talking nonsense and look at that.”
“uh… … ?”
The moment Mir opened his eyes, his mouth fell open.
“Wow… … .”
A vast snowy field and a pale ice lake.
Beyond it, a tall snowy mountain was visible.
“I want to get a good look at that mountain.”
“uh… … .”
Mir closed his eyes and opened them.
There was a large rock about halfway up the snowy mountain.
no.
It was too big to be called a rock, and its shape was bizarre.
“Do you know the legend of the giant who once carried the sky?”
“uh… … ?”
“That is our great ancestor, Ymir.”
Mir opened his eyes wide.
Of course, Mir also knew about the frost giant Ymir.
Not only Mir, but there was probably no one among the giants who did not know that name.
But what about Ymir, a rock as huge as that mountain?
“To be exact, it is the remains and tomb of the frost giant Ymir.”
“Uh, why in a place like that… … .”
“That snow mountain is the largest and tallest among the snow mountains in the north. It is considered the highest mountain on the continent. One day, an unprecedentedly large earthquake occurred in the north. Countless mountains collapsed and the earth split apart. “A lot of life in the north, including our giants, perished.”
My father said, looking at the ice lake.
“This ice lake was also created at that time.”
“ah… … .”
“The tallest snow mountain did not collapse, but the earthquake caused a huge avalanche. It wasn’t on a scale that could be called an avalanche. According to the records of our ancestors, it was said to be a scene of destruction. “If it had been left as is, all living things in the north would have been swept away by that snow storm and perished.”
“… … .”
Mir’s eyes became blurry.
Strangely, a sight I had never seen before clearly appeared in my mind.
The avalanche on the world’s largest snow mountain literally looked like the sky was falling down.
And shattered pieces of cloud fall endlessly from the sky.
“All the giants despaired. Even to a giant, the waves of snow flowing down from a high mountain seemed like nothing more than the sky collapsing. All giants are great warriors, but they do not have the courage to fight against nature. When even the elders accepted this destruction as fate… Ymir has stepped forward.”
From that point on, Mir’s heart began to beat faster little by little.
“Ymir, who ran out alone, spread both arms and caught the avalanche with his whole body. She took it with her whole body, the bitter cold that even the frost giants could not withstand, the weight of her snow that could not be stopped even with the strength to carry a castle. Besides, she was a mythical sight. “The great frost giant literally stopped Mount Tai from collapsing with his body.”
The girl who inherited Ymir’s name asked.
“Why were you able to do that? … ?”
“It was because everyone believed in Ymir and what he would do.”
“Isn’t that too harsh?”
Then my father smiled and said.
“That’s not true. Ymir was probably happy. “The most valuable moment in our warrior’s life is when we repay loyalty.”
Father stroked Mir’s hair with his fingers once again.
“The great ancestor, Ymir, the frost giant who stopped the avalanche of destruction, froze to death while standing on his own two feet. On the highest snowy mountain, leaving behind a great mark that will not be erased even after thousands or tens of thousands of years.”
My father’s eyes fell on the snowy mountain again.
“I found you under that snowy mountain.”
“… … .”
“But still, you are my only daughter. So even if you were much smaller than you are now, I would have considered you a source of pride rather than shame.”
“Really…? … ?”
“of course. Think at the same time. “I think you are the one who truly inherited Ymir’s bloodline and is his true counterpart.”
“What is Malye…?” … ?”
“It means he is the successor to his legacy.”
Say yes, say yes, say yes… … .
Mir somehow liked the sound of that word, so he repeated it to himself several times.
Homeland was a place with few good memories for the Mir Giant.
… It was a place with ‘almost’ no place.
In other words, I also had good memories.
That was my memory at that time.
A day when the wind was unusually calm.
In front of the ice lake and snowy mountain, my father’s voice clearly reached my ears.
“… “A giant who blocked the flowing sky.”
“The great god who prevented us from abandoning our home.”
“Its appearance is like the greatest Titan that held up the sky in ancient legends… From that day on, the giants began calling Ymir differently.”
* * *
“… … .”
Mir opened his eyes.
My vision was blurry, and my mind was even more blurry.
In the meantime, only one thought came to mind obsessively.
‘Faith must be repaid.’
That is a warrior.
Only then can we finally be called a member of the Frostwolf tribe, be proud of the last name Giant, and above all, be proud of the name Mir.
In my life so far, I haven’t had the opportunity to do that.
– you? You’re saying something funny, Mir Giant.
So Charon Woodjack’s criticism was not wrong.
In fact, Mir’s behavior was frustrating and had a stupid side even to himself.
No one believed me.
Even myself.
So there was nothing to receive or repay the trust.
It was like that.
– In terms of pure physical ability, you are the strongest.
I was recognized.
– When that moment comes, the only thing you can trust is your trained body.
They noticed that I had been training consistently.
– Being small doesn’t mean being weak.
– Lend me your strength. i need you
I heard what I wanted most.
‘I was repaid.’
If so, it’s okay to break.
It’s okay to be broken.
If I can stand up now, I can die after that.
Because warriors repay loyalty.
Because that’s how I learned it, and that’s how I wanted to become it.
“The one who once carried the sky… Do you know the legend of the giant? … ?”
The moment the quivering voice came out, the doll leaped again.
Aside from the surprise of being still alive, the body designed as a murder weapon was designed to silence the enemy completely.
The doll’s bloated body fell mercilessly once again towards Mir, who was barely able to stand up.
Wow!
Binge drinking again.
[…] … … .]
But this little creature seems to be stronger than you think.
The doll thought.
If four or five times wasn’t enough, ten or twenty times. I need to crush it to the point where I can’t even tell the shape of its whole body.
If you crush it so thoroughly that it cannot perform its function as a living organism at all, no matter how strong its vitality is, it will no longer be able to move.
However, the doll tried to run again.
[…] … … ?]
Suddenly I realized that my body was not moving.
It felt as if I was firmly rooted in the earth.
The doll’s impression was a bit wrong.
It was Mir, not the doll, that took root.
Crackling.
Small but thick fingers exerted transcendental grip strength and penetrated the sole of the doll, then grabbed it like a hook.
A suppressed voice came from below, where I couldn’t even see it properly.
“I am… … .”
Mir stood up.
Supporting a body tens of times its size and hundreds of times its weight using only physical strength.
“The daughter of the Frostwolf Clan Chief… … .”
Straighten your knees,
“These are the words of Frost Giant Ymir… … .”
Straighten up,
“… And the rightful successor to the titan Atlas.”
bear the hardships
Long ago, the greatest achievement of our ancestors, who held up the collapsing sky and prevented its destruction.
I may not be able to keep up with that achievement, but I can at least reflect on its maintenance.
“I swear on my little body and my great pride… … .”
Mir Giant smiled blood-stained smile.
“… … “You can’t pass here.”
