394.
The expedition’s journey continued.
And we arrived at the vicinity of the place where Jormungand, the Glutton King, that Leo had mentioned was expected to be.
Accordingly, the expedition team also looked very nervous.
“Let’s rest here today.”
Lisinas spoke while there was still time until the sun set.
This is because it was not possible to blindly enter the danger zone where one might encounter Jormungand at night.
So the expedition set up camp and prepared a meal.
‘The atmosphere is heavy.’
Rodia used magic to light a bonfire and looked around.
There may soon be a battle with Jormungand, who is considered the strongest corps commander.
So it was natural for them to feel nervous.
‘Because not a single corps commander was subjugated during these times.’
Although he risked his life and went on an expedition to subdue Jormungand.
It was natural to feel anxious.
After lighting a bonfire, Rodia approached Leo, who was looking at a map on one side.
“Kyle.”
“why.”
When Leo, who had not even taken his eyes off the map, answered indifferently, Rodia spoke.
“Shouldn’t we now inform the expedition team of the operation to subdue Jormungand?”
Leo spoke calmly in response to Rodia’s words.
“There is no such thing as an operation.”
“yes?”
“Because Jormungand is a corps commander who is incapable of strategies.”
Leo took his eyes off the map and looked at Rodia.
Rodia made an absurd expression.
“Where is that?”
“Where is it? It’s here. “You know this because you fought against the King of Gluttony.”
Rodia thought about the Glutton King.
A corps commander with powerful power that can only be described as overwhelming.
Even Rodia, the leader of the heroes of Gaebyeok, felt a shiver.
‘Except for the pieces of Erebos, he was the most powerful enemy.’
They are literally the strongest demons.
“Unfortunately, he is not a person who can come up with strategies or countermeasures.”
Leo sighed slightly.
“Compared to our previous life, the current expedition team’s strength has improved. And whereas at the time I wasn’t properly prepared to fight against Jormungand, which I suddenly encountered, I was definitely prepared to defeat him now. but.”
Leo said forcefully.
“The fact remains that the moment there is even the slightest mistake, the expedition team will be annihilated. “The victory 5,000 years ago was truly a victory close to a miracle.”
It was during this period of complete growth both physically and mentally that he gained the power to overwhelm Jormungand.
It was at that time that he was called the King of Wisdom and the Hero of Beginnings.
“Then how on earth did you defeat Jormungand?”
“You’ve surpassed your limits.”
Leo chuckled.
“While I was getting his attention, Lisinas pierced his heart.”
“As expected, Rishinas!”
Rodia held hands and his eyes sparkled.
“It’s still the same now. “While I get his attention, other people attack.”
“Will Jormungand just aim for Kyle?”
“You have to aim. It’s true that he has overwhelming power over all army commanders. But do you know why he couldn’t become the backbone of Tartarus?”
“… … well. “I’ve never thought about it.”
“Because he’s stupid.”
“yes?”
For a moment, Rodia looked dumbfounded.
All of the corps commanders she knew were demons with great strength and cunning.
That’s why the corps commander is scary.
But the King of Gluttony, who is said to be the strongest corps commander, is just a strong fool.
“If that guy had been able to turn his head even half as hard as the Demon King, the world would have been destroyed long ago. “If you insult Erebos, his eyes will turn and target only me.”
“great. I understand Kyle’s plan to create an opening by drawing Jormungand’s attention. But is it possible to withstand Jormungand’s concentrated offensive with Kyle’s strength now?”
“Is it possible. “For that, I made a pact with Albus.”
Leo showed the contract on the back of his hand.
“His recklessness is a terrible disaster in itself, but it can also be a fatal flaw.”
Leo’s red eyes flashed.
“I will create the opportunity.”
Leo declared that he would take on the most dangerous role without hesitation.
“You just have to pierce the heart of this guy who is full of loopholes.”
The moment you say that.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo!
The ground began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred.

“W-what is it?”
“Something is coming!”
A moment when the expedition team is embarrassed.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-!
Something huge soared far from the camp.
A huge snake.
-Coooooooooooooo!
A horrifying roar rang out from the mouth of the snake, which soared high as if it would pierce the sky.
“Jormungand!”
***
“what?”
“You really showed up!”
“Everyone prepare for battle! Ready for battle!”
The expedition fell into panic at the appearance of Jormungand.
They hastily formed a formation and prepared for battle.
Knights and warriors grabbed weapons.
The wizards chanted magic and the summoners summoned their respective beasts.
Even at this moment, most of the expedition team had been listening to Leo’s words that they would be fighting against Jormungand.
That’s why everyone was terrified when Jormungand appeared.
But even though I was terrified, I was not intimidated.
All of these are warriors who have overcome times of disaster and have defended the Guards for a long time.
Although they did not leave their names in history, they were heroes who laid the foundation for opening the era of heroes.
Even though he was terrified, he did not neglect what he had to do.
Meanwhile, those who were most surprised were Leo and Rodia, who were convinced of the existence of Jormungand.
“It’s a long way from where the original battle took place!”
As Rodia spoke urgently, Leo clicked his tongue.
“You know that just because it’s real history, there’s no way the same thing will happen in Hero Records! “Unexpected situations can happen at any time!”
“but… … “This has too much margin of error!”
“Nothing will change. “You too, prepare for battle!”
At Leo’s words, Rodia also formed a formation with the expedition team.
Meanwhile, Risinas came running.
“Kyle! “It’s just as you said!”
“okay.”
Leo clenched his fists.
Meanwhile, the expedition team that had made camp spoke to Alox.
“Me and Kyle, the linemen! And Alene will step forward!”
“no.”
Leo shook his head.
“I will stop him alone. Alox, Alene. “You take advantage of his weak spot.”
“what?”
Alox’s complexion suddenly changed.
“Kyle! Even for you, this is a very reckless plan! “I’m going to stop him by myself!”
“Alox is right! Kyle! “What on earth are you thinking!”
Lisinas grabbed the hem of Leo’s clothes with a white face.
“No one on this expedition can match my mobility, because I signed a contract with the King of Pegasus.”
Leo looked at Jormungand.
“That monster can’t be suffocated by any reasonable attack. “You, excluding me, must do your best to inflict a fatal blow.”
“No matter what, it is close to impossible to stop Jormungand alone.”
“It’s a pity, but those are the things we have to do in the future.”
“what?”
Leo looked at the expedition team.
“To save the world, we must make the impossible possible.”
Everyone had blank expressions.
“And subduing that damn snake here is the first step toward saving the world.”
Leo said seriously.
“Don’t worry about me. I am a surviving hero. Even if everyone here dies, I will survive until the end.”
“You’re being unlucky.”
Perique burst out laughing.
“Can you really stop it?”
“okay.”
“Then, please move to the front.”
“If you show even the slightest bit of sloppiness, I will help you right away.”
“Please, Kyle.”
Alox and Alene tapped Leo on the shoulder.
“Everyone, take your seats.”
Rhodia set up camp.
The heroes moved quickly.
Meanwhile, Leo spoke to Lisinas, who was still holding the hem of his clothes.
“Don’t worry too much.”
Leo gently removed Lisinas’ hand that was holding the hem of his clothes.
“This fight will be the beginning of a great journey.”
Lisinas nodded heavily at Leo’s words.

Kugugugugugugung-!
-Are they bugs that crawled out of the Guardslawn?
Crawling on the ground, Jormungand laughed at the sight he felt from afar.
-It smells like a dragon. Their meat is a delicacy!
Sniff-sniff-
Jormungand, who had come here following the ominous smell, licked his tongue.
Befitting the name of the King of Gluttony, his ravenous appetite soars.
Meanwhile, the Glutton King spotted someone flying towards him.
-Hmph, a flying insect comes alone without any fear… … .
Jormungand’s body, which had been laughing at the human who dared to fly towards him alone, froze for an instant.
It comes through the wind.
The ominous smell of blood.
It’s not an actual smell.
A scent that strongly cuts into the human soul that comes towards you.
‘What… … This stench.’
It was a smell that I didn’t want to approach.
But before that… … .
Kugugugugugugung-!
The earth shakes.
To be precise, Jormungandr’s body was trembling.
A corps commander called the strongest.
‘What on earth…? … This fear.’
Instinct is speaking.
Jormungand felt an indescribable fear towards that mere human.
Another smell hidden by the smell of Erebos.
‘The smell of my blood?’
The primal fear of not wanting to face the human in front of him made him, the strongest corps commander, so shabby.
But before that.
I felt a hatred that overwhelmed everything.
‘This cannot happen!’
Jormungandr’s sense of smell, which even smelled the scent of the soul, was speaking.
That man killed himself and even killed the great god he worshiped.
That it is a being that desecrates everything about itself just by existing.
Jormungand began to run wild as if having a seizure.
Primal fear and hatred caused the loss of reason.
-Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Jormungand rolled his eyes and let out a screaming roar towards the sky.
“It’s been a while. Jormungand.”
Leo, who reached Jormungand, spoke.
– Let’s live! I don’t know of such a filthy being as you!
“I guess so. But I know you.”
A thick life force gushed out from Leo’s body.
“Anyway, you’re a god slayer? “I’ve never killed a god?”
-Shut up! You can’t reach God! Here today! Because your existence will be erased!
Jormungand, whose reason was paralyzed, cursed indiscriminately and filled with hate.
Leo narrowed his eyes as he looked at Jormungand.
‘I don’t know what’s wrong with this guy, but he seems to know what I did in the future.’
Leo narrowed his eyes.
‘But nothing changes.’
The fact that Jormungand must be defeated here and now remains the same.
Ugh-!
Leo unleashed his spiritual power.
Along with that, a pure white thunderbolt swirled around.
It’s a joke! Flash!
Leo, who summoned Albus, said as he rode on it.
“Albus, fly up.”
Saying that, Leo pulled on the reins made of spiritual power.
Quagga-ga-ga-ga-gang-!
At that moment, Jormungand’s breath of destruction struck Leo.
But Leo wasn’t there.
Jormungand’s six eyes looked straight into the sky.
-… … . It’s finally starting.
Albus looked down at Jormungand and muttered.
“okay. “I have to put an end to that earthworm.”
Leo gently stroked Albus’ mane.
“Please understand if I treat you a little roughly during the first battle, young lady.”
-Kyle, you are the one. Don’t be swayed by my power.
Leo grinned at Albus’ words.
-But you said your goal is to stop that hateful being by yourself, right? Is it possible?
“It’s possible, but… … . “Seeing that guy’s eyes turn, I think I need to pull out my trump card sooner.”
-Trep card? Was there another trump card besides me?
Leo burst into laughter as he watched Albus speak in a slightly sour voice.
“okay. “I thought it would arouse unnecessary suspicion, so I tried to summon him later.”
-doubt?
The moment when Albus made a puzzled expression.
Leo spread his arms left and right.
Ugh-!
At that moment, spiritual power swirled around the backs of Leo’s hands.
A golden and black contract came to mind.
The moment Albus realized that power, his eyes opened wide.
-This power… … !
Albus asked in disbelief.
-Kyle, what on earth are you? How on earth… … !
“It’s my identity… … . “People call it that.”
Leo burst out laughing and forced the ‘unmade covenant’ to be fulfilled.
“He is the hero of the beginning.”
A summoning circle came to mind.
Leo called the pledge’s name.
“Elsie, Silod.”
The pledgers appeared at the call.
