Leviathan (2)
The vision of Lodbroke suddenly disappeared by the time I reached the top of the stairs.
As if telling me to come here.
Theo nodded in agreement and greeted the crowd behind him.
“Then I will go.”
-Be careful when you return, warrior!
– Please defeat the evil dragon!
– Show the warrior’s miracle! please!
Theo left behind the cheers of the crowd and slowly climbed the road that Lodbroke had climbed while being greeted by Shelford’s party.
The central temple was much larger than it appeared from a distance.
However, compared to its size, it felt clunky.

Like the appearance of Kriemhild who didn’t know how to decorate.
“Welcome, new Kriemhild. My name is Marti, who is in charge of managing this place.”
“you.”
“I saw you during the day. Greetings again. Please forgive me if I have offended you at that time.”
A bobbed-haired woman in a white priest’s uniform greeted Theo politely.
Theo let out a laugh.
It was because he was a member of the Black Skulls he met at the Spinola Mansion.
He had the dignity of a high-ranking swordsman and was the one who stood out the most.
During the day, he had such cold eyes, but now, on the contrary, he had a soft grace.
“What is forgiveness? understand Wouldn’t it be nice to have a better relationship in the future?”
A meaningful word in many ways.
A smile spread across Marty’s lips.
“Thank you for saying that. As expected, you are a magnanimous person worthy of Kriemhild’s successor. Then would you like to follow me?”
Marti guided Theo inside as if he didn’t care about that at all.
In the hallway, other priests were standing in a row on the left and right walls, bowing their heads.
“It seems like everyone is a well-trained martial artist.”
“Good to see you. Since it is a temple honoring Kriemhild, it is normally active as a martial arts center for the residents following his work.”
However, since it was an ordinary martial arts hall, the spirit of all the priests was amazing.
Military discipline and even moderation.
Should I say it’s like watching a well-tempered knight?
Even if it wasn’t comparable to Ragnar, it was definitely an outstanding place.
‘I hadn’t heard of them participating in the war against Ragnar in my previous life. Is it like the hidden power of the floating islands?’
Perhaps he would not come out of the temple in rebellion against the Trojans who control the Floating Islands.
Theo felt like he had found an unexpected treasure.
“Still, waking up early in the morning and meeting like this wouldn’t have been easy.”
“Please don’t think so. Rather, we are all overjoyed that a mystery has finally been solved after hundreds of years. You don’t know how precious it is to us to be able to protect the Floating Islands.”
“exactly?”
“Yes. Besides… … .”
Marti smirked and glanced around.
-Oh oh!
– Do you see it? is that light?
-It’s the first time I’ve seen Balmung in real life, not a statue, but it’s the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful light.
-How beautiful the pattern is again.
– You can’t observe it from close, right? It’s a magic system that was popular at the time, and I think it will be a very important source of knowledge.
– Let’s ask separately after this work is over. If you’re Kriemhild’s successor, you won’t be picky.
-Anyway, that light is really enchanting. I was very good at becoming a priest.
The eyes of the priests were accurately directed at the dragon slash sword Theo was holding.
As the seal was broken, the dragon slayer sword was in the process of revealing the mighty power of the legendary holy sword to its heart’s content.
“Just the fact that we can face such a fully awakened Balmung is as if we have already been saved from waiting.”
The sight of Marti praying with both hands together was even reverent.
For Theo, who doesn’t believe in any religion, it was just amazing.
‘It’s amazing to be able to believe so faithfully in an existence that can’t bestow any miracles or favors.’
In fact, although Kriemhild was close to being a god, he did not become a real god and ascend to the Pantheon.
So even though there must be a limit to the power shown on this land, the residents of the Floating Islands believed in Kriemhild without caring at all.
It is a unique culture of this region, far from the continent.
‘Thanks to that, I’m sure my achievements will have that much power.’
When he reached the center of the temple, Marty’s steps suddenly stopped.
Up 99 steps.
An altar made of bronze was placed, and on top of it was placed a helmet that looked like it was carved out of platinum, which sparkled beautifully.
Surrounding it was a glass tube engraved with several layers of magic barriers, probably a very precious treasure.
‘Aegir.’
Theo knew at once what it was.
– Platinum Armor (白金甲冑), which is said to have been created by 99 earth fairies gathering starlight and moonlight and beating them all night for 999 days for the brave Kriemhild, who was about to set out to slay the evil dragon.
Ugh! Whoops!
The balmung in my hand was shaking violently.
It was like meeting a long-lost friend.
Marty said while bowing politely.
“Put on Aegir. Then the gate to the sea king will open naturally.”
Aegir was the weapon Theo wished to obtain after the dragon sword and the mystery of Kriemhild.
It needs to 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 be opened without the approval of the council.”
“It is a question of the fate of the floating islands. As a descendant of Kriemhild, how could you oppose that?”
Saying that, Marty smiled softly.
‘This person used strength in the middle.’
Theo led the crowd to the central temple, putting pressure on 3rd Street and the Dominion Council.
Still, it was impossible for Aegir to be allowed to choose and open the gate so quickly without someone in the middle.
Perhaps, as the mystery of Kriemhild was awakened, the right to speak was strengthened.
‘The more I look at it, the more I want it.’
Theo seemed to be able to complete a more perfect picture if he could bring them into the game he wanted to draw in the future.
Just in time, they had something to be proud of.
– Nibelun.
A vision that encompasses all of Kriemhild’s wills.
If so, wouldn’t those who claim to be following Kriemhild also turn a blind eye?
Indeed, some were interested in the fact that Theo had a vision put into practice.
Of course, all of that was something to think about after putting the King to sleep.
Theo climbed the 99 steps and stood in front of Aegir.
Flash!
In an instant, Aegir trembled violently, the magic barrier was released, and the glass tube shattered and collapsed downward.
– Ohhh!
-Aegir is showing miracles for the first time… … !
-As expected, you are wearing the appearance of platinum, as the legend says. It’s so beautiful.
Theo lifted Aegir with both hands and put it on his head.
Just the right size, like custom armor.
At the same time, my heart was beating wildly.
thump thump thump!
‘This?’
Aegir resonated with Theo’s magical power.
Aegir changed as it reacted with the remains of Kriemhild, which Theo had equipped for resurrection.
Platinum-colored halos spread all over the body, and new armor was added on top of it.
Charleuk! Charleuk!
The upper arm was completed after passing through the nape of the neck, and then it was fully armed as it extended to the lower arm.
In addition, since he was holding a dragon slayer sword in one hand, it seemed as if the legendary Kriemhild had just materialized.
No, there was nothing to go far.
Isn’t the Colossus of Kriemhild that is now disappearing just like that!
-Ahhh!
-He is the real Kriemhild-sama’s successor.
– Brothers, let us pray. Following the will of the one who came down to this earth again after receiving our call!
The priests all got down on one knee and prayed.
Marti also reverently pondered the miracle of Kriemhild.
The platinum-colored halo that wrapped around Theo gradually spread and wrapped around the temple, and eventually even the buildings outside were beautifully shimmering.
It was as enchanting as if the white sun had risen.
Numerous residents gathered in front of the temple sat down on the ground or prayed like priests.
-Ahh!
‘All of Aegir’s functions have awakened. I thought it would be a relief if it only worked as a protective device. Is it because of Kriemhild’s ashes?’
Theo smiled slightly as he looked down at his hands.

I know that the treasure of the gnomes is difficult to function unless it is the designated owner.
It seemed that he was accepting Theo as Kriemhild.
Theo looked down at the floor with a satisfied smile, since it was only the things he liked from the start.
The altar melted into a halo of light was dismantled, revealing a circular iron door hidden underneath.
An iron gate painted with all sorts of geometric shapes.
Kirik, Kirik-
Then, while forcing a rusty sound, the iron door was repeatedly reassembled and dismantled following the shape, and finally slowly opened wide to the left and right.
Paaa!
Beyond.
A world of waves appeared in the darkness where light was scarce.
“Have you come? This is what it means to come prepared. He was my father’s only friend, but to think he would come as the successor to the one who harmed him.”
Pontus’ voice boomed in his head.
‘So you’re trying to stop me?’
“No way. As my father’s child, it is impossible not to have resentment, but my father has never resented a friend. So it won’t hurt.”
‘It’s fortunate.’
Theo looked at Marti and the priests and said.
“Then I will go.”
“Please be careful.”
Theo didn’t hesitate and threw himself right into the gate.
with a splash!
The cold water hit my face.
Huge water pressure pressed down on the body.
Geeing-
However, that feeling of pressure disappeared as the effect [Specialized on Elemental Resistance], imprinted on Aegir, was activated.
At the same time, underwater breathing became possible.
Now it is possible to move freely even in the sea.
In return, Theo planted magic in both eyes and also gave them [Spirituality].
Then the vision became clear and bright, and Pontus, who had been buried in the darkness, appeared.
“There is not much time. Follow me.”
Theo pursued Pontus further down the abyss for a long time.
Passing through a steep canyon, passing through a hot sea gully, I was able to meet the sea king who was tossing and turning in the wide deep sea plain.
‘big. Too.’
That was the first thought that came to my mind.
A much larger size than what I saw in Kriemhild’s Thoughts.
Did it continue to grow even after hundreds of years of being sealed away?
There was even a powerful magical wind, so it was difficult to get closer than this.
‘How the hell did Kriemhild win against something like that?’
Natural Disasters.
The only words that came to mind were those.
Even if Theo had obtained Nibelun and Aegir right away, it was clear that he was a difficult opponent to deal with.
“This ideal is difficult for us to approach. Can you put your father to sleep again?」
‘that’s.’
It was just then that Theo was about to say something.
Kieeck!
The sea king, who had been lying face down, suddenly started to riot.
thud! thud! thud! thud! thud!
A huge upheaval happening at the same time.
Ocean currents stirred dizzyingly, and all kinds of undersea volcanoes spewed hot steam as if they were about to explode.
The marine species that followed Pontus were also horrified.
“this! Has the seizure already started! You were fine at this time, though… … !”
‘seizure?’
“Because of madness, my father periodically goes berserk. Then, the surroundings will definitely come out.”
That was the cause of the anomaly that was currently plaguing the Floating Islands.
“This is not the time to be like this. Let’s escape here for now.”
‘wait for a sec.’
But Theo stopped Pontus.
Every time the sea king went mad, the jet-black haze that flew grass was somehow familiar.
‘Young Mad Dog? Why is the sea king addicted to it?’
