378 – Genius and Genius (5)

Frozen basically allows freedom of religion.

This means that it doesn’t matter whether you believe in religion or not.

In a land so cold and resource-rich, it is much better to become a miner than to believe in a certain religion.

Still, that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in religion at all. Since Frozen boasts a harsh environment, there are many people who believe in God.

The interesting thing here is the Frozen leader. The King of Frozen and Raina’s father does not believe in religion.

However, Raina’s mother is a believer in Gaia, the goddess of life.

Even two of his older brothers were believers in the gulag, so the family structure was full of confusion in many ways.

Lastly, Raina is a non-religious person. Not only is he not particularly interested in religion, but he is more interested in his own strength.

You might say it’s better to trust the gulag. But believers in the gulag do not become strong just through prayer.

‘This is our cute little sister, Raina. Why don’t you believe in Gulag, the Lord of the Sky and the Lord of Thunder?’

‘If I believe in him, can I use lightning like his brother?’

‘Of course! Instead, pray for 3 hours a day…’

‘I won’t do it.’

Yes. The favor of the Gulag is not received for free.

There are roughly two ways to gain the Gulag’s favor.

One is to fight like crazy while maintaining reason, and the other is to perform ancestral rites.

Kara, the Gulag’s favorite shaman, meets all of the above conditions, so she can provide generous support.

In other words, this means that ordinary people who are short on time have no choice. I’m busy making a living every day, so how do I even pray?

Moreover, Raina was not confident in the most important thing, ‘patience’. Patience was far from her.

Although he said he was trying to learn the common language, he was able to endure it because it was ‘necessary’.

So Raina planned to distance herself from religion for the rest of her life.

‘What is this?’

However, Shin actually seemed to have a very deep interest in Raina.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the ax in her hand. She really came out of nowhere

As Sivar said, he prayed to Chaos, and the weapon was placed in her hand. The owner of this weapon is familiar with it.

‘Isn’t it senior Dok2?’

On the surface, it seems to focus on style rather than efficiency. From what I heard, she was originally using it for her own use.

At the same time, it is a very powerful weapon. I heard that it was made with that Usk blade.

What kind of monster is Usk? It is a monster with a blade that can cut even a decent amount of steel like slicing tofu.

How dare they be called ‘war elephants’ in the East. It is an entity that is extremely difficult to subdue due to its weight class.

‘Why did it come into my hands?’

Anyway, let’s skip this, Raina couldn’t understand the current situation.

She asked Chaos, and the weapon of Shivar, Ragnarok, was placed in her hands.

Who is Chaos? Isn’t he known as the most complex and difficult of the three gods?

He is such a capricious god that it is said that rather than believers choosing chaos, chaos chooses believers.

‘Why on earth?’

Why did such a god give this help? No, what does Ragnarok have to do with Chaos in the first place?

It was full of things I couldn’t understand, but one thing was certain.

Chaos handed over this ax to help. It didn’t make sense otherwise.

“··· ···”

“··· ···”

Reina looked at Sivar while holding Ragnarok, which was smaller than a battle ax but much larger than a one-handed ax.

Sivar was also quite taken aback by this situation and was making an expression of bewilderment.

Even the owner was not expecting this. Reina narrowed her eyes and then grinned.

‘What do you think? A good weapon is enough.’

It was her simple yet passionate way of thinking. So, you must not let your guard down.

I’m not sure what it is, but I’ll have to try it. Since it is a Usk blade, it will also work on Sivar.

Of course, it doesn’t end just because it works. You have to overcome that ridiculous regenerative power to have a chance of winning.

As Reyna was considering her strategy in her mind, Sivar raised her left hand without her saying anything.

I called Ragnarok in my mind, but the point remained unchanged. She didn’t think about getting out of Raina’s hands.

‘I, I, I…’

She was so shocked that she couldn’t find anything to say. Is it true that a pretty woman is better than a hairy man?

Or maybe Chaos was playing a strange trick. I think that would be the correct answer in the current situation.

‘Ragnarok is a bit annoying to me too.’

Even with an unprocessed Usk blade, my Steel King trait was pierced.

Moreover, even though it was a small scratch, it even pierced Rize’s hard body

If you combine Raina’s magic power… There will be quite a bit of damage. It will be much harder than before.

‘Were you that bored?’

I rushed towards Raina while grumbling inwardly.

I didn’t forget to take out the battle x that was stuck in the ground while running.

Even though the handle is broken and does not function properly, this will be enough.

Eventually, when she reached Reina’s nose, she swung the broken Battle Ax to her side.

“Haha!”

Do you believe in Ragnarok? Raina also chose to fight back rather than run away.

So when the axes swinging at an angle collide.

-Clap!

Ragnarok cut off the blade and face of Battle Ax and passed through.

I knew that Rayna’s Battle Ax was quite good, but it couldn’t compare to the Usk Blade.

However, it didn’t completely pass through and hit my side. As I just said, Battle Ax is also a weapon made from excellent minerals.

“Hey!”

Raina was amazed as she saw Ragnarok cut down half of Battle X. Her reaction was that she didn’t know it would be this bad.

But she has no time to admire. I took advantage of the situation where Ragnarok was halfway through and spun Battle X around.

Naturally, Raina’s wrist her, which had been caught off guard, spun, and she pushed Ragnarok away.

-Twouk!

The intertwined axes fell to the ground. Even if it’s Reina, she has no choice but to let go since her wrists are broken.

Raina was embarrassed and tried to hurriedly counterattack, but it was already too late. I reached out to her and grabbed her by the collar.

-Quaang!

“Pfft!”

When I grabbed her by the collar and threw her against the wall, Raina let out a drooling sound.

It looks like he only feels a little pain from hitting the wall. As expected, the body his is strong.

In the meantime, I dropped the Ragnarok stuck in the Battle Ax.

-Hwiik

He then threw it to Raina as if to catch it. Rayna escaped from her wall and opened her eyes wide as she received Ragnarok.

The expression on his face as he asks why he is giving this to me is very impressive. I shrugged my shoulders and opened my mouth.

“Chaos gave it to me. So use it.”

“Really?”

“Uh.”

If I use Ragnarok, he is a god who will discredit me because it is not fun.

If it is true, please raise your faith.

[Faith rises!]

Look at that. I raised one corner of my mouth and chuckled.

Chaos wants Rayna to use Ragnarok.

I don’t know what the outcome will be, but one thing is certain.

It would be fun.

-Boom!

My fist goes through the wall. Reina barely managed to avoid it by turning her head.

She chose to get out of the wall rather than fight back. That doesn’t mean they don’t attack.

-Whoop!

Reina held Ragnarok with both hands and swung it strongly. Because she was cut diagonally, she had no choice but to step back.

Because the size was ambiguous, it seemed to be wielded like a battle ax rather than a one-handed ax.

As I said in advance, Ragnarok is not a very heavy weapon. With Raina’s strength, one hand would be enough.

-Seeing! Sing!

Like right now. As if she thought she couldn’t do it with both hands, Reina started to tackle Ragnarok with one hand.

Thanks to you, I’m the one causing the headache. The moment you get hit by even one hit there, it will really hurt.

Above all, the biggest problem is that we do not know much about its power. Just in case you don’t know, I am the owner of Ragnarok.

······To be exact, it is Hector, but the current owner is me. It means you won’t get hit by that.

‘It must hurt, right?’

It won’t be that painful. It must fucking hurt.

Originally, Ragnarok was like a final item for religious characters.

Now that it has been strengthened with the Usk blade, it would be close to the ultimate item for warriors.

-Tup!

So, we need to avoid getting hit by Ragnarok as much as possible. I grabbed Raina’s wrist.

At that moment, Ragnarok was being struck from above, so an opening appeared.

Even though Raina was captured by me, she did not give in and took her next action.

-Boo!

Even if the right hand is suppressed, the left hand remains. In an instant, he moved Ragnarok to his left hand and struck it down.

Fortunately, I narrowly avoided it, but it was still a headache. All you have to do is trust in its regenerative power and go.

‘First, we need to figure out how much it hurts.’

Okay. That might be better. I rushed towards Raina.

Afterwards, he took power with ease. If it’s honest, it’s an honest regime.

It is natural for Raina to avoid that regime. What comes next?

“Ha!”

-Shhh!

What is it? It’s a counterattack. I stopped trying to retrieve my right hand.

As I said before, getting hit once is not a bad option. So…

-Puck!

“Huh?”

What on earth is this unsettling sound? I blinked.

Raina, too, opened her eyes wide as if she had heard that clear sound.

-Chaaa!

But that stupid reaction didn’t last long.

Because bright red blood poured out like a fountain from the wrist where Ragnarok was embedded.

Since we’re halfway through, it’s inevitable that the artery will break.

“Uh, huh? Uh huh?!”

“··· ···”

“So, your hand… Are you okay?! Kyo, professor!”

I was looking at my wrist with its bones clearly exposed and blood gushing out like a fountain. Raina was shocked and called the professor.

She usually rushes in recklessly, but she seemed to be sensible in this emergency situation.

Anyway, Ragnarok is really awesome. Now that we know his power, we need to be careful.

‘There are some things that are stronger because they are axes.’

The surface of the curved blade itself is thin, so it would be difficult to cut it like this. Raina’s physical abilities are also ridiculously strong.

I left Reina making a fuss and gently attached her shaky wrists.

It won’t be long before we meet each other! Sticky area. I was not surprised because I had had my hand amputated before.

“Ah, no. Cow, does it have hands…?”

Raina asked with a voice full of all kinds of emotions at my very natural behavior.

Astonishment. Absurd, etc. Even though they seemed to contrast with each other, they ended up being questions.

My answer to that was very consistent.

“Yes.”

“······Excuse me, but is one of your parents a troll?”

He doesn’t hesitate to do pad lip work. I looked at her with a puzzled expression.

“Or the devil? Or both?”

“··· ···”

Her chest was stabbed not just a little, but a lot.
