Episode 278
Ring of the Nibelungen (1)
Wow!
With a single swing of Fafnir’s tail, all the trees in the forest were broken.
Kwa Gwa Gwa River!
An explosion erupted from Siegfried’s sword.
“It feels strange. “I never thought I would see something like this.”
Jeong-do said that with a calm expression amidst the bloody scene.
Jeong Do is literally witnessing a mythical scene in real time.
Of course, if you put your mind to it, you can create even greater scenes, but doing it yourself and watching it with the audience’s mind are two different tastes. I couldn’t be more disappointed about not having popcorn.
“It’s spectacular.”
<Uhm. That’s cool. My blood is boiling just looking at it… Do you have any intention of joining the war?>
“For now, we have to watch the situation. “I plan to avoid interference as much as possible.”
Merlin said that no matter how much trouble he made, it would be difficult to change history… … Still, I was planning to be as careful as possible, just in case.
“The goal is dragon blood. “You can’t forget that.”
<Uhm. It certainly is. I am so excited.>
At that time, a notification window appeared in front of Jeongdo’s eyes.
Oh, has the achievement reward arrived? Well, they say, ‘What is the achievement of being the first to reach the past?’
Tiring!
<The timeline is different from my current body. Cosmic deterrence is at work.>
<It becomes difficult for ordinary beings to recognize you. People easily forget things the user has done or accomplished.>
<If you do not return to the original timeline within 24 hours, your body will be locked in the past.>
<Warning. There is a possibility that the user’s current physical specifications may erode the past. The deterrent force of space acts as a force. Ability scores are slightly lowered.>
<It becomes impossible to load characters that exist in the future beyond the current time.>
“… … “The compensation is a mess.”
It was a storm nerf. regret.
“under. “I haven’t heard anything like this.”
Why does Merlin have such an important thing… … No, there is a high possibility that he didn’t know either. Since he was tied up in Avalon, there was no way he could have tried time travel or anything like that.
Even if the stats are nerfed, it’s impossible to load.
I don’t know when Siegfried’s era was, but it is certain that it was a long time ago. It would be a huge blow for all the characters after this to be sealed… … As for King Arthur, which is currently loading, I wasn’t sure if it was before or after Siegfried.
<There is nothing wrong with me.>
“is it so?”
Then, it seems that King Arthur existed before Siegfried. Just as Do-do was about to understand it, the following notification window appeared.
<<Communication-lv.4> is activated. Linking the user’s body with the past world line… … Link success! All abilities, skills, and talents function normally regardless of the timeline.>
<Check talent <Patience-lv.3>. <Communication-lv.4> is activated. The time you can stay in the current era increases to 72 hours.>
“Okay, as expected. “Okay then.”
I felt ashamed of myself for thinking that the situation was bad even for a moment.
There was no way that the greatest talent in the world of dogfighting, recognized by the universe, could not stand by and ignore this situation. The penalty for crossing the time line was instantly eliminated.
“The ticket seems to be working normally… … good.”
When I used a new level ticket as a test, a warning message appeared saying ‘Are you sure you want to use it?’ If it cannot be used, it will display ‘Not available.’ This way, even if an unexpected situation arises, I felt like I could somehow protect myself.
– Wow!!! this guy! How dare you treat a human subject!
<Huh. That’s amazing. I’m constantly pushing the dragon. It would be a good match if I got along with Lancelot or Gawain.>
“is that so? So what if you join in person?”
<With the current status, it is a sure win. Before awakening the dragon’s blood… I’m upset, but it’s going to be hard to win. After a long fight, I will lose in the end.>
“That’s a cold assessment.”
<Of course. Anyone who lives with a sword must have a cool-headed mind. Even more so if it’s an evaluation of yourself. >
– Wow!
“It will be over soon.”
<I see. The blow just now was fatal. It will be difficult to turn it over now.>
It was just as King Arthur said. Siegfried’s sword strike a moment ago had completely torn off one of Fafnir’s wings. Fafnir’s screams of pain filled the forest.
– That’s it! You evil dragon!
<Good lines. A knight should be like that.>
“… … great? “That?”
From a modern person’s perspective, this is a very shameful line.
Did he read the level of reluctance? King Arthur began to advise Jeongdo in a serious tone.
<It may be a little embarrassing, but a knight must always pay attention to his appearance. You never know when and where the bard might be watching you. ‘A knight wearing blue armor charges towards the evil dragon, swinging his sword!’ What a thrilling and honorable thing this is! If you want to sing like that, you always have to be careful.>
“… … .”
I don’t know. It was a feeling that I could not understand no matter how hard I tried. No, actually, I didn’t really want to understand.
– Fall down!
Siegfried jumped high. He concentrated his mana on both feet and quickly reached a place higher than Fafnir’s head.
And a shining sword being swung.
Balmung.
Siegfried’s sword, whose name is not yet widely known, flew towards Fafnir’s neck.
And at that moment, a twist occurred.
Wow!
– Sigh! What is this?!
Suddenly, black magical energy began to explode from Farnir’s entire body. As the overflowing magic energy enveloped Siegfried, the brilliantly shining Balmung lost its light.

Swish!
– Wow!
Siegfried was hit squarely by Fafnir’s opposite wing. His body, which was thrown at high speed, broke 10 trees before he finally fell to the ground.
Was it because I let my guard down because it was the final blow? Siegfried’s condition after being unexpectedly attacked was worse than expected. This was before he killed Fafnir, so he did not have the immortality caused by dragon blood, which was his symbol.
He stood up, breathing heavily. His legs were shaking, possibly due to damage to his balance organ.
Fafnir roared and ran towards him. Perhaps due to the influence of demon energy, he seemed to have no sense of reason left.
<Hmm. This is an unexpected result. I would have thought that the evil dragon still had some hidden power left in it. I’m looking forward to seeing how that knight overcomes this challenge.>
“no. “I am joining the war.”
<Hmm? Am I mistaken? Isn’t that the original history of that knight’s victory over that evil dragon? If you leave it alone, you will win, right?>
“If it goes according to the myth, then yes.”
But that’s only the case when there is no outside intervention. The story could have been different if someone outside of history had intervened in this incident.
“after. They say that no matter what you do, it will be difficult to change the past. “Aren’t you a quack?”
The deformed demonic energy that Fafnir felt now was something he was very familiar with.
Kuoooo!
The black energy felt from Farnir was exactly the same as that felt from ‘Monkey Mask’, a Karma executive whom Jeongdo had fought in the past.
* * * * * *
‘What the hell is this?’
I feel dizzy.
Siegfried looked like he was going to collapse at any moment, but he chewed his cheek and held on. As the fishy taste spread on the tip of my tongue, I seemed to come to my senses a little.
However, just because I came back to my senses a little, it did not mean that I could understand the current situation. How on earth did this happen?
‘The victory was definitely mine.’
The evil dragon Fafnir.
This greedy dragon was an ugly being that killed countless lives and spirits for treasure. At the same time, it was a being as powerful as its enormous greed.
The number of knights who died from that bastard was literally countless. So Siegfried prepared the best he could.
He visited those who met Fafnir and returned alive and asked for information from them. He thoroughly analyzed the terrain where it stays and how it usually attacks.
To avoid the bastard’s sense of smell, I boiled water with herbs that dragon species avoid and bathed for three days and nights. He took the most precious iron in the castle, went to a craftsman, and made his best armor. He forged a broken sword filled with the energy of the stars and created the strongest sword.
The preparation was perfect. There was nothing in him that made him lose.
And it was so.
Just once. All it took was one hit and everything would be over. There is only one step left to slay the evil dragon that is harassing the people.
‘Damn it!’
Siegfried gritted his teeth. Escape from reality. I felt angry at myself for having such weak thoughts.
The situation has already happened. why? It is not too late to think about escaping from reality or denial. Now was the time to think about how to get through this emergency.
‘are you okay. you can do it.’
There was always a crisis. I went through many hardships, but I overcame them all.
It’s the same this time too. If you just keep your head straight… .
“ah.”
However, a weak voice came out from Siegfried’s mouth as he raised his head.
This was because Fafnir, who had already approached very close, opened his large mouth and was taking a deep breath.
Breath.
The most powerful blow a dragon species can deliver.
The powerful mana gathered in Fafnir’s mouth was enough to break Siegfried’s will. The body was seriously injured by only a single flapping of a wing. There was no way he could withstand the dragon’s breath.
Kiiing!
A black sphere was created right in front of Fafnir’s mouth. It was an overwhelming mana that I had never felt before. The hand holding the sword gradually lost strength.
And that moment when the sword fell from his loosened hand and fell to the floor.
Quang!
Black rays rushed towards Siegfried. Siegfried gave up everything and closed his eyes.
‘Is this the end?’
I wasn’t afraid. For a warrior, death at the end of a desperate struggle was an honor that could not be replaced by anything else. At the end of death, a new battlefield called Valhalla was waiting.
He accumulated quite a few military achievements. Surely Odin, the king of the gods, will send Valkyrie to make him an Einherjar.
That was when the breath came right in front of Siegfried.
chuck.
A figure appeared between Breath and Siegfried. Siegfried was sure. A beautiful warrior who serves Odin. That Valkyrie had come to visit him!
‘… … But isn’t Valkyrie a woman?’
That Valkyrie had very short hair for a woman. No, of course, short-haired Valkyries may exist. But she’s tall and her shoulders are wide, so she doesn’t look like a Valkyrie… .
Quang!
Siegfried’s thoughts did not last until the end.
This was because the Valkyrie who got between Breath and herself blocked Breath with her huge shield. Siegfried just stared at the person who saved him with a blank face.
