Chapter 151: Summoning (2)
“hmm.”
Merlin, who had been quietly listening, suddenly moved.
He walked to an empty space with no one in sight, lifted his cane, and started scribbling something on the floor.
“Merlin, what are you doing?”
Arthur, curious, came closer to Merlin.
“No matter what, it’s dangerous without any hints.”
Merlin continued to scribble as he spoke.
The graffiti was not a picture but letters.
“I want to show him this sentence.”
Arthur looked at the completed sentence quietly and spoke.
“… … “This is an ancient language.”
After saying that, Arthur looked at the sentence carefully and said,
“… … ‘For the giant who will destroy God’… … .”
He said.
I was dumbfounded. If it weren’t for Hestia’s body, I would have laughed out loud.
‘Merlin, you can use ancient language!’
When I met Merlin, he acted as if he didn’t know how to read the ancient language, let alone write it, and as if he didn’t even know what the sentence he received from Arthur was.
But from the beginning, it wasn’t a sentence he received from Arthur, but something he wrote himself!
Even while I was bewildered, their conversation continued.
“Hey Merlin. Do you plan to stay alive until then? Until the time when he will be summoned?”
“Is that possible? Of course I die. But my will remains.”
“… … By any chance, you mean ‘dream’?”
Merlin nodded at Arthur’s words.
Arthur said, stroking his chin.
“Yes, there was that Merlin who was waiting to give me a second sword. But didn’t you say you’d delete it now that it’s no longer meaningful?”
“yes. You have received a second sword, so Merlin’s presence in the forest is meaningless now. “I thought so.”
Merlin shook his head as if to deny his words.
“But things have changed. Funny enough, I end up feeling my fate in a place like this. It’s not that it has lost meaning. “It has changed.”
As I listened, I was horrified by Merlin’s next words.
“That Merlin will now be waiting for him, not you.”
‘… … !’
─King Arthur once gave me this sentence.
─I couldn’t understand it even after seeing it, so I just remembered it as an image in my head.
─Can you read?
When I think about it, my first doubts in this world began then.
Giants who challenged God.
This was the first moment I thought that they might be humans’ allies, not humans’ enemies.
Arthur asked.
“What if he can’t read ancient languages?”
“doesn’t care. “If he really challenges God, one day he will know the ancient language.”
“If you really could meet him, wouldn’t it be better to just explain everything?”
Merlin shook his head.
Merlin asked, looking at Arthur.
“How much can you trust a stranger who claims, ‘I am your friend’?”
“… … hmm. “First of all, the stranger will ask you what you think.”
“okay. “I mean, I can’t believe it.”
Arthur nodded obediently at Merlin’s words.
“Even if he can read the ancient language, I in the forest have to pretend not to know the ancient language. If he is indeed summoned as we hope, he will be a very suspicious and cautious type. Even if you try to appeal to such a person as an ally, it will only increase their suspicion. “We have to make him realize it himself.”
“Huh.”
Arthur let out a sound, not sure if he was impressed or dumbfounded by Merlin’s words.
You’re probably feeling the same way I am right now.
Arthur said there.
“But aren’t you in the forest just as suspicious and cautious? Whatever you say, it’s you. “Is there any way to tell you in the forest who ‘he’ is?”
“I shouldn’t tell you.”
Merlin shook his head.
“I don’t plan on telling anything to me in the forest. It’s better not to know that you’re dead, that I don’t have to wait to give you a second sword, and that you’re actually a fake. “All you have to do is convey this one sentence to him.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Only then will the person we summon be able to help me in the forest. Then I will know who in the forest I should convey the sentence to. “As you said, I am suspicious and cautious.”
Arthur heard those words and tilted his head before saying.
“Don’t you feel sorry for yourself?”
“It’s pitiful. But what can I do with it being me?”
When I heard that, I swallowed my saliva. It would have been impossible since it was Hestia’s body, but I felt like my throat was tense.
Is this Merlin, the greatest wise man and great wizard of his time?
Then Jeanne asked Loki.
“Loki, when does the Great Magic begin?”
“There are only a few days left. We can’t witness that magic anyway. “It will be after death.”
“… … “It’s a bitter story.”
Jeanne pursed her lips with an expression as if she had chewed shit.
“I can’t help it. Because we are destined to lose. “When the gods are confident of victory and return to their respective realms, then the Great Magic will come into play.”
“What does it mean to tie the feet of the remaining gods in the human realm?”
“The experiment with Fenrir is already over. “The gods can never be released.”
Loki’s words have little change in tone, but they have a strange sense of trust. Actually, he is a cunning god who is good at playing pranks. His words are persuasive enough to be said to be overflowing.
But then, someone else appeared out of my sight.
“Loki, don’t you feel sorry for Fenrir?”
The woman approached Loki with a somewhat soft tone.
‘… … Who is it… … ?’
This time it’s a face I really don’t know.
However, the hair color, eyes, and facial features reminded me of someone.
‘… … ‘Sibel?’
No, no. It’s definitely someone else. Looks similar but is different.
But pink hair and green eyes. Even in this world where there are all kinds of appearances, Cybel was the only person who had both of these things.
Loki solved my doubts.
“Idun, thank you for coming.”
When Loki said so.
Similar─
“… … her?”
I came back to reality.
So suddenly, without any warning.
And time started moving again.
Hestia was in front of me.
We arrived just before the summit of Olympus.
‘okay. ‘You can’t stop time forever.’
Rather, it is surprising that this long period of time remained still.
Right in front of you is the edge of the crater. In other words, it is a cliff that falls into a crater.
‘Wake! ‘I have to do my job!’
I took a deep breath. My confused head cleared up a little.
When the hoof of the unicorn carrying Hestia and Selena reached in front of it, I stretched out my hand.
“Selena!”
Selena jumped up on the unicorn horse and grabbed my outstretched hand.
Wow!
I hugged Selena and unwrapped her wings.
From here on, flying is no longer up to me.
Gravity will do it.
“… … Hestia.”
In a short space of time, I called Hestia’s name.
Hestia said.
“go.”
As the saying goes.
I tilted my head and looked down.
Selena and I fell into the estuary.
It is slow at first, but soon accelerates due to gravity.
Easy profit─!
The sound of the wind passes through my ears. Darkness passes by my cheek.
“Selena, I asked you in advance.”
I said while falling.
“Can it move properly even at terminal velocity?”
We will soon reach terminal velocity where falling alone will not make us go any faster. In other words, unless I spread my wings and accelerate, it won’t get any faster. It’s already fast enough.
“What are you talking about, Frondier?”
Selena’s eyes sparkle blue.
“I can do anything.”
“… … It did.”
I agreed with Selena’s words without bothering to argue.
Now I have decided to assume that everything Selena says is true.
“Mr. Frontier.”
Selena said, glaring down.
“There is something blocking 10km from now.”
“You’re blocking it?”
This crater?
“Could it be that we have already reached the lava?”
If so, it’s difficult. We have to reach the underworld like this, but it’s already lava.
“no. It seems to be something, a wall of mana. Besides, it doesn’t seem to be one. Next time, and the next time. “You can’t see everything here, but there is a significant number of layers of walls blocking it.”
“Is it God’s interference?”
I also looked down and concentrated on my eyes.
It’s not as good as Selena’s, but if you use your sixth sense, the viewing distance can be expanded to some extent.
“… … “Is that it?”
As Selena said, there was something blocking the direction we were heading. You could say it’s a transparent wall, it looks like a barrier. However, there will be a difference in defense compared to a normal barrier.
“It’s in one minute.”
“… … “It looks harder than I thought.”
I frowned. There’s nothing you can’t break if you try to break it, but it seems like it will cost a lot of money. Besides, I don’t know how many more chapters there will be.
“Mr. Frontier. “I can see it with my own eyes.”
“what?”
“I can see the mana flow from that barrier.”
“… … Yes, there was one!”
I looked at Selena with sparkling eyes. Selena has a skill that reads the flow of mana and destroys opponents with a needle. I heard that they have evolved it further and can now see the mana flow of the magic itself.
“… … .”
But when I looked at Selena, she suddenly became dumb and looked at me.
“What’s wrong, Selena?”
“… … Oh, no. Anyway, I can see it, but the barrier is so big that I don’t think I can pierce it even if I hit the weak point with a needle.”
“If that’s the case, it can be easily resolved.”
I opened the empty hand that wasn’t holding Selena.
“Tell me the location. “I’ll take care of the rest.”
“All right. “From now on, please move 2 meters diagonally to the top left.”
“Is that a weak point?”
“Magic and mana continue to flow. “The location of the weak point is constantly moving, so we need to track it.”
I nodded and stretched my hand to the side.
Empty!
As we lightly flew the black cloth, our bodies moved slightly.
“I will throw three needles. Look at the path and attack the point where the ‘fourth’ needle will be.”
“good.”
Selena’s pupils dilated slightly, and her breathing stopped in an instant.
The expression completely disappeared, and I stared blankly for a moment at the eyes that were undisturbed despite being hit by a high-speed wind.
Whoosh!
And Selena threw three needles.
If we connect the three needles with a line, we will see a leisurely curve to the right from where we were.
“That’s neat, Selena.”
“It was a formal compliment.”
While listening to Selena’s voice, I moved toward the virtual location of the ‘fourth needle’. With that, he stretched his hand back.
Heukcheon
Mana of the Nine Worlds

By the time the spear was in my hand, the position was complete.
“It’s perfect, Frontier.”
“No formal praise!”
Quaaang!
“it’s okay!”
I broke through the first wall.
