Chapter 362: Not the Crow! (2)
Translator: miraclerifle
[You’re finally here.]
A black bird was here.
This definitely looked like a Crow. However, the bird\'s eyes flashed and it aimed for Ju-Heon.
[I cannot let you get past here.]
‘!’
That was right.
This bird was not the Crow that he had been looking for.
It looked a bit different.
Some things around Ju-Heon started glowing. They looked like Toombglyphs but they were different.
‘Rune text.’
It was at that moment.
Swooosh!
The runes flashed and Ju-Heon was somewhere else.
“......!”
He was in an unfamiliar cell when he opened his eyes. And......
[You\'re here.]
It was an unfamiliar voice.
Ju-Heon quickly became alert.
‘That bastard is?’
This artifact might be difficult for a different reason than those guard bastards.
Why?
There was an old man with a wide-brimmed hat sitting down with crows, or ravens in this case, behind him.
He was certain of it.
‘Odin.’
That was right.
The artifact in front of him was Odin, the king of the gods in Norse mythology.
This overbearing old man had a shabby cape and his wide-brimmed hat was low on his face.
He was giving off quite the aura unlike the other artifacts, despite being in a cell.
The old man laughed in an overbearing manner as soon as he saw Ju-Heon.
[Seo Ju-Heon, I really wanted to see you.]
The pressure coming from him was no joke. Ju-Heon just scoffed.
This was an extremely precious special grade artifact. He was happy to see it, but...
“So this wasn’t the way to the Crow? I have business with that bastard.”
The man\'s one eye flashed.
[The fog you used was one that brings you to a trap. You would have been eaten by the guards if you went where it was supposed to go.]
Ju-Heon started to frown.
‘Was that the odd sensation I felt inside the fog?’
He had felt the Crow’s aura in the fog but also an unknown sense of dread.
Anybody other than Ju-Heon would probably not have been able to feel it.
Ju-Heon looked at his hand that was starting to rot.
Part of it was because his Tolerance skill was gone after the Crow\'s power disappeared, but......
‘It’s definitely the aura of the high-grade guards.’
They were all Divine-Grade or higher.
In addition, he remembered this from the past. It was the same power that had killed them without them being able to do anything in that tomb.
‘I guess it is a bit dangerous to go like this.’
Odin smiled as if he read Ju-Heon\'s expression.
[Those bastards are trying to lure you in with the Crow’s aura.]
“!”
[There is a reason they can imprison the Crow there. Even the Majesty will lose his power there. I am probably the only one who can survive in that area.]
Ju-Heon started to smile.
“So you called me here because you thought I would die? What a good little artifact.”
[No.]
“!”
Odin’s eye flashed.
[I came to get back what you stole from me! You wicked bastard!]
“!”
The cell broke as Odin shouted.
Bababang!
Ju-Heon easily dodged it and started laughing.
His reaction was to be expected.
"What the hell? You were able to get out of your cell?”
That was right. Odin had destroyed the bars and easily walked out.
The other prisoners could never dream of doing something like this.
“Is it related to your arrogance about being able to survive in the Crow\'s tomb?”
Odin ignored him as he was fuming with anger.
[Shut up and hand over my items, you terrible shit!]
Bang!
Ju-Heon barely dodged by using Chi You’s fog as he spoke.
“Ah, your things? Are you talking about Gungnir and Sleipnir?”
A laser shot out of Odin’s eye as he said that.
[Hand them over immediately if you know what I am talking about!]
Bang!
Odin really seemed angry. He was using runes like a true sorcerer to kill Ju-Heon.
But Ju-Heon should have expected this.
‘Gungnir and Sleipnir both groaned and tried to return to their master.’
They seemed to have quite the deep connection with Odin. Furthermore, Sleipnir...
‘That pushover bastard said he scammed his way to get it out.’
Odin was grinding his teeth.
[I could hold myself back when a damn human King took my throne. I could hold myself back when that damn Prometheus took my spear. But now a shitty scammer runs off with my beloved horse?!]
He looked as if he wanted to kill Jaeha and shred him to pieces.
[I know that you are that bastard’s master. Take responsibility for your subordinate and hand over my items!]
The other Norse artifacts in this area raised their voices as well.
[Yes! Hurry up and return father’s subordinates!]
[You animal-like bastard! How dare you pull off a scam to run off with it!]
"While it’s sad that you were scammed, I\'m sorry. I have no pity for you.”
[What?]
“Since I\'m going to take even more things from you now!”
Ju-Heon viciously laughed and cast Chi You’s fog.
Bang! Bang!
The artifacts screamed.
There was even a giant and an extremely famous hammer among the artifacts that Ju-Heon exploded.
Ju-Heon seemed extremely excited but they couldn\'t help but grind their teeth.
[That wicked bastard is going to aim for even more of Allfather’s treasures?]
“Yeah! Do you really think I would be done with just a spear and a horse?! Odin is known for having a ton of items among the Divine-Grade artifacts!”
[You\'ve gone crazy with greed!]
Odin released his aura in anger.
He truly deserved to be a Major God-Grade artifact as his power was much stronger than the regular Divine-Grade artifacts.
Boom!
The three doggie artifacts Ju-Heon had on him groaned.
The doggies could resist because they were very well-known named artifacts but any low grade Divine-Grade artifacts would already have been destroyed.
[Fuck, we need a Major God-Grade artifact too!]
[Should we go call that bastard Zeus over?]
[That’s okay sir. What would we use that bastard for when he can’t even use his powers properly?!]
Zeus had been shunned after becoming a eunuch.
[It makes no sense to get help from an artifact of a different culture in the first place!]
The doggies roared and viciously released their auras. Odin flinched for a moment.
But he did something that made the doggies scream as they were sent flying.
Bang!
[Ugh!]
[That bastard really is using a weird artifact!]
He must have some peculiar ‘knowledge’ that allows him to use his powers in this prison.
That was the only explanation.
[Master! That bastard has something on him!]
[We should first get out of here...!]
However, Ju-Heon was smiling.
"Why would we get out of here?”
Ju-Heon thought this was great.
‘It is true that the Crow\'s tomb is dangerous.’
He knew very well after having experienced it once already. That was why he had left the rest of his team behind this time.
‘Even if I die, I will die alone.’
The other guards were probably preparing all sorts of traps to get rid of him.
His Dominance seemed to be getting cut down the deeper he went into the tomb.
But Odin was able to use his powers fully even though he was a prisoner here.
‘It must be because of an artifact this bastard has on him.’
That artifact was probably one of Odin’s treasures...the ‘Mímir\'s head.’
It was a giant’s head that would share all sorts of knowledge, basically it was Odin’s trove of knowledge.
‘Having that should be helpful.’
That was probably why Ju-Heon started to laugh.
“Hand over Mímir\'s damn head.”
[!]
Odin seemed shocked.
“What’s wrong? Did you think that I wouldn\'t know? Isn\'t that head the reason you can survive in the Crow’s tomb?”
Odin truly seemed wary of Ju-Heon.
[So you really will try to get the Crow.]
"That is the only way for me to become the Majesty right now.”
[Give up on that Crow.]
“Why?”
[That Crow is the Crow that will bring destruction.]
Ju-Heon started to frown.
‘Destruction?’
[But before that, hand over my items! You bastard!]
Ju-Heon calmly activated some artifacts.
“Fine, take it if you want it that badly.”
Ju-Heon had called out the artifact car, Sleipnir!
VROOM, VROOOOOM!
The Norse artifacts sneered at Ju-Heon after hearing the sound of the supercar.
[That stupid idiot! He took out Sleipnir in front of father!]
[That bastard is dead now!]
Odin was very happy as well.
[Ohhh, come to me. Get rid of that disgusting appearance and...]
But at that moment...
Bang!
[Ugh!]
Sleipnir seemed to be rushing toward Odin but actually turned Odin into roadkill...no, ruthlessly slammed into him.
[?!]
The imprisoned Norse artifacts all jumped in shock.
[Father!]
[D, did that bastard go crazy?!]
Sleipnir was still an artifact that had been promoted to a Majesty’s Treasure-Grade artifact. It was extremely powerful.
Sleipnir quickly returned to Ju-Heon and revved its engine.
[#$&!]
Did I do well? I did well, right?!
Sleipnir seemed happy to see Ju-Heon. It seemed angry that Ju-Heon had left it behind earlier.
Odin, who was slammed head first by his treasured steed seemed to be in shock.
[T, that bastard...]
However, Ju-Heon just smiled viciously.
"Well, it\'s fine if you don\'t want to tell me where it is. I can just find out for myself.”
[!]
Ju-Heon\'s eyes flashed viciously as he said that.
Odin started grinding his teeth.
[Do you understand? That Crow\'s goal is to get rid of all artifacts from this world. Do you really think I would let such a bastard back out?]
Ju-Heon seemed quite interested.
"Get rid of the artifacts? That’s possible?”
Odin seemed to be remembering something from the past.
[Hurry! Hurry up!]
[We don’t have much time left!]
The battle between Monarchs had happened in the past as well.
The artifacts gave orders to the Heirlooms in order to select a Majesty.
[Heirlooms! Hurry up and choose your masters!]
[Make your masters fight! Make them determine a final victor!]
The requirement to become the Majesty was to win this battle between Monarchs. The fourteen Heirlooms growled.
Each Heirloom had the responsibility of making the human they select become the Majesty.
There would only be one person left and that person\'s Heirloom would be promoted to become the Majesty\'s Crown.
That was probably the reason.
The Heirloom searched far and wide for strong humans who they felt had the most chances of victory.
[I will take the most talented martial artist as my master!]
[You\'re so one-dimensional. Having positional power is better than physical strength! I\'m going to take an Emperor as my master!]
[They’re still just going to be horny men. Even Emperors will fall to humans with extreme beauty!]
The Heirlooms each selected the candidates they thought would be victorious.
But one of the Heirlooms, the Crow, didn\'t seem to have any interest in this battle.
Actually, it wasn’t interested in humans at all.
Humans rushed toward the Crow once the Battle of the Monarchs started so that they could become a Monarch as well, but they were all ignored by the Crow.
“Oh oh, it\'s a Heirloom. I can tell that this is a talented Divine-Grade Crow.”
“I must contract with this artifact!”
“No! It’s mine!”
The Crow was not interested in anyone despite their overwhelming physical strength, unmatched beauty, or overbearing power.
In fact, it felt that the goddess artifact that showed affection to the humans was weird.
[Why are you showing affection to the stupid humans? They just led you to be executed.]
The Goddess of War, the Crow goddess who loved humans, started laughing.
[How pitiful. So so pitiful. You will learn one day as well.]
[That will never happen.]
The Crow goddess ended up being executed.
Anyway, the Crow seemed no different from the rest of the artifacts. It was an artifact’s true nature to want to harm and kill humans.
However...
“That shitty old bastard!”
The Crow met a young man.
