Episode 122
Leviathan (2)
Lordbroke’s welcome suddenly disappeared as soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs.
As if telling me to come here quickly.
Theo nodded in understanding and greeted the crowd behind him.
“Then I will go.”
-Take care on your way, warrior!
-Defeat the evil dragon!
-Please show me the miracle of the warrior! Please!
Theo slowly ascended the path Lordbroke had ascended, leaving behind the cheering crowd and receiving greetings from Shelford and his party.
The central temple was much larger than it appeared from a distance.
However, it felt very crude compared to its size.
Just like Krimhild, who didn’t know how to dress up.
“Welcome, new Krimhild. My name is Marty, and I am in charge of managing this place.”
“you.”
“We met during the day. I’d like to greet you again. If I was rude at that time, please forgive me.”
A short-haired woman wearing a white priestess’ robe greeted Theo politely.
Theo let out a hollow laugh.
Because he was a member of Black Skull whom I met at the Spinola mansion.
The one who stood out the most was the one who possessed the authority of a senior prosecutor.
During the day, he had such a cold gaze, but now, on the contrary, he had a gentle demeanor.
“What about forgiveness? I understand. Can’t we just have a better relationship in the future?”
A meaningful statement in many ways.
A smile spread across Marty’s lips.
“Thank you for saying so. As expected of the successor of Lord Krimhild, you are a generous person. Then, will you follow me?”
Marti guided Theo inside, seemingly oblivious to all that.
In the hallway, other priests were standing in a row along the left and right walls, bowing their heads.
“They all seem to be well-trained dancers.”
“You have seen it well. As this is a temple honoring Lady Krimhilt, it normally operates as a dance hall for the residents, following in her footsteps.”
However, even though it was an ordinary martial arts school, the spirit of the priests was all very great.
Military discipline and even a measured attitude.
Should I say that it’s like looking at a well-trained knight squad?
Although it may not be comparable to Ragnar, it was certainly superior.
‘I never heard that they fought in the war against Ragnar in their previous life. Could it be the hidden power of the Floating Archipelago?’
Perhaps they will not come out of the temple in rebellion against Trojan, who dominates the floating archipelago.
Theo felt like he had discovered an unexpected treasure.
“Still, it wouldn’t have been easy for you to wake up so early in the morning and gather like this.”
“Please don’t think so. We are all glad that the mystery has finally been solved after hundreds of years. You have no idea how precious it means to us that we can protect the Floating Archipelago.”
“exactly?”
“Yes. And… … .”
Marty looked around furtively, his voice trailing off.
-Oh!
-Do you see that light?
-It’s my first time seeing a real Balmung, not just a statue, but also the first time I’ve seen it radiate such a beautiful light.
-How beautiful the pattern is.
-You can’t observe it up close, right? It seems like it would be a very important source of information about the magical system and knowledge that was popular at the time.
– Let’s ask you separately after this matter is over. If you are Krimhilt’s successor, you will not be a picky person, I’m sure.
-By the way, that light is truly enchanting. You did so well becoming a priest.
The priests’ gaze was focused squarely on the Dragon Sword that Theo was holding.
As the seal was released, the Dragon Sword was fully displaying the majesty of the legendary holy sword.
“Just the fact that we can face Balmung so fully awakened is already like salvation for our waiting.”
The sight of Marty praying with his hands clasped together was almost pious.
For Theo, who did not believe in any particular religion, this was simply surprising.
‘It’s amazing that you can so faithfully believe in a being that can’t grant you any miracles or graces.’
In fact, Krimhild may have been close to being divine, but she did not become a true god and join the Pantheon.
So, even though there must be a limit to the power that could be shown on this land, the people of the floating archipelago paid no attention to it and worshipped Krimhild.
It is a unique culture unique to this region, isolated from the continent.
‘Thanks to that, my achievements will also be given that much strength.’
When he reached the center of the temple, Marty’s steps suddenly stopped.
Up the 99 steps.
There was an altar made of bronze, and on it was a helmet that looked like it was carved out of platinum, shining beautifully.
It was surrounded by a glass case with several layers of magic barriers, indicating that it was a very precious treasure.
‘Aegir.’
Theo could tell right away what it was.
-The white gold armor was created by 99 earth elves by gathering starlight and moonlight and beating it for 999 days and nights to help the warrior Krimhilt, who was about to set out to defeat the evil dragon.
Woof! Woof!
Because the ball in my hand was shaking violently.
He was so excited that he felt like he had met a long-lost friend.

Marty said, bowing politely.
“Wear the Aegir. Then, the gate to the Sea King will open naturally.”
Aegir was the weapon that Theo had hoped to obtain following the Dragonslayer Sword and the Mystery of Krimhild.
Because it must be able to withstand the enormous water pressure of the deep sea.
“I heard that the gate to the Sea King’s Sealed Area will never open without the approval of the Council.”
“It is a matter of the fate of the Floating Archipelago. As a descendant of Krimhild, how could I oppose it?”
As he said that, Marty smiled faintly.
‘This guy was the one who put in the effort.’
As Theo led the crowd to the central temple, he also put pressure on the three shipping houses and the Dominion Council.
However, it would have been impossible for Agir’s choice and the gate opening to have been granted so quickly without someone intervening.
Perhaps, as the mystery of Krimhild awakens, her voice becomes stronger.
‘The more I look at it, the more I want it.’
Theo felt that if he could draw them into the landscape he wanted to paint, he would be able to complete the picture more perfectly.
As it happens, they also had something to tease them about.
-Nibelun.
A vision that encompasses all of Krimhilt’s ideas.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t those who are chasing Krimhild turn their eyes?
In fact, some people were interested in the fact that Theo had shown a vision that came to fruition.
Of course, all that is something to think about after putting the Sea King to sleep.
Theo climbed up the 99 steps and stood before Aegir.
Flash!
In that moment, Aegir shivered violently, the magic barrier was released, and the glass tube shattered into pieces and fell down.
-Ohhh!
-Aegir is showing a miracle for the first time… …!
-As the legend says, it has the appearance of platinum. It’s so beautiful.
Theo lifted Agir with both hands and placed it on his head.
A perfect fit, like a custom-made suit of armor.
At the same time, my heart was pounding wildly.
Thump thump thump thump!
‘What is this?’
Aegir resonated with Theo’s magic.
Aegir changed as he reacted with the remains of Krimhilt, which Theo had equipped for resurrection.
A platinum glow spread across his body, and new armor was added on top of him.
Slurp! Slurp!
The upper armor was completed past the nape of the neck, and then extended to the lower armor, completing a full armor.
Moreover, she was holding the Dragon Sword in one hand, so she looked like the legendary Krimhilt incarnated.
No, there was no need to go far.
Isn’t that exactly what the now-disappeared Colossus of Krimhild looked like?
-Ahhh!
-You are the real successor of Krimhilt.
-Brothers, let us pray. Following the will of Him who came down to this earth again at our call!
All the priests knelt on one knee and prayed.
Marty also pondered the miracle of Krimhild with reverence.
The platinum glow surrounding Theo gradually spread and enveloped the temple, and eventually even the buildings outside sparkled beautifully.
The sight was so enchanting, as if a white sun had risen.
Many residents gathered in front of the temple sat on the ground or prayed like priests.
-iced coffee!
‘Aegir’s functions have all been awakened. I thought it would be fortunate if it could function properly as a defensive device. Is it thanks to Krimhilt’s remains?’
Theo looked down at his hands and smiled faintly.

I know that the treasure of the earth fairy is difficult to use unless it has a designated owner.
It seemed that Agir had accepted Theo as Krimhild.
Theo looked down at the floor with a satisfied smile, as he had only liked things from the beginning.
The altar, which had been engulfed in a halo of light, disintegrated, revealing a circular iron door hidden beneath.
An iron gate with all kinds of geometric shapes drawn on it.
Kkirik, kirik-
Then, the iron door was repeatedly reassembled and disassembled along the shape, forcing a rusty sound, and finally slowly opened to the left and right.
Phew!
Beyond that.
A world of waves appeared in the darkness, barely touched by light.
“You’re here? So this is what it means to come prepared. I never thought you’d come as the successor to the one who was your father’s only friend, but also a harbinger.”
Pontus’s voice rang in my head.
‘So you’re trying to stop me?’
“That can’t be. As your father’s child, it’s impossible not to have resentment, but your father has never once resented you. So he won’t harm you.”
‘Thank goodness.’
Theo said, glancing towards Marty and the priests.
“Then I will go.”
“Take care on your way back.”
Theo didn’t hesitate and threw himself straight into the gate.
with a splash!
The cold water hit my face.
The tremendous water pressure crushed my body.
Jiiing-
However, that feeling of pressure disappeared when the [Elemental Resistance Specialization] effect imprinted on Aegir was activated.
At the same time, underwater breathing became possible.
Now, free movement was possible even in the sea.
While he was at it, Theo planted magic into both eyes and also gave them [spirituality].
Then, the vision became clear and Pontus, who had been hidden in the darkness, appeared.
“There isn’t much time. Follow me.”
Theo pursued Pontus for a long time, going deeper into the sea.
After passing through steep canyons and hot sea vents, we were able to meet sea kings tossing and turning on the wide deep-sea plains.
‘Big. Too much.’
That was the first thought that came to mind.
A much larger size than what was seen in Krimhilt’s thoughts.
Did it continue to grow during the hundreds of years it was sealed?
Even a powerful magical wind was blowing, making it difficult to get any closer.
‘How on earth did Krimhilt win against something like that?’
Natural disaster.
Those were the only words that came to mind.
Even if Theo had obtained Nibelun and Aegir right away, it was clear that they would be difficult opponents to deal with.
“It’s difficult for us to approach this point. Can you put Father to sleep again?”
‘that.’
That’s when Theo was about to say something.
Kieeeek!
The sea king who had been lying down suddenly started to cause a ruckus.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A huge earthquake that occurred simultaneously.
The ocean currents were turbulent, and all kinds of underwater volcanoes were spewing out hot steam as if they were about to erupt at any moment.
The marine species that followed Pontus were also in disarray.
“Oh no! The seizure has already started! But you were usually fine at this time… …!”
‘seizure?’
“Because of the madness, my father periodically goes crazy. Then, everyone around him is always in trouble.”
This meant that the cause of the strange phenomena currently plaguing the floating archipelago was precisely that.
“This is not the time to be like this. Let’s take refuge here for now.”
‘wait for a sec.’
But Theo stopped Pontus.
The pitch-black haze that would blow away whenever the Sea King went berserk looked vaguely familiar.
‘Youngma Poison? Why is the Sea King addicted to that?’
