I Became the Guild Leader in Exile

107 – 6# The Ghost of the Past (5)

I was the first to open my eyes.

The events in the illusion remained vivid in my memory. Thanks to that, I could calmly assess my situation. I, along with everyone else, was bound to Odin.

Odin, who was called the Great God, had abilities that were far from lacking. But I had no intention of giving up. I would find a way to counterattack here.

Fortunately, I wasn’t the only one who had awakened from the illusion. The other gods were intervening, one by one, to awaken the guild members trapped in the illusion. As a result, we were ready to counterattack.

But I couldn’t wait any longer. My master was being beaten up unilaterally in front of me. I felt my blood boiling.

“You b*stards!!”

“What?!”

Even Odin was taken aback. In fact, Isaac Silvertein was a human who had exceeded his limits. So, he was caught off guard, but he could still respond somehow.

But in my case, it was as if I had never been prepared for it. I had never dreamed that I would escape from the trap I had set myself. And that wasn’t an incorrect statement.

If the gods hadn’t helped, I, along with the other humans, would still be trapped in the illusion. But Odin, who didn’t know that, was taken aback.

As a result, he exposed his weakness, and I didn’t miss it. In an instant, I closed the distance and cut off one of Odin’s arms with my sword.

“Damn it! I was aiming for his neck!”

I clicked my tongue in disappointment, and then I raised my sword again. I had approached him with the intention of beheading him, but Odin had reacted quickly and dodged.

Odin furrowed his brow. If it were just a sword, there would be no reason to dodge. In the first place, this was the realm of the gods, where it was impossible for a mere human to inflict harm on a god.

To make that possible, divine authority was necessary. And even that required an extraordinary divine authority that wouldn’t be intimidated by a god like Odin. For example, the wife of a god.

“Just now, that sword contained considerable divine authority. Did they intervene?”

According to Odin’s investigation, I didn’t possess divine authority. Excluding the power I inherited from Zikfried as a dragon slayer, that is. The power of a dragon slayer wasn’t weak, but…

Even so, it was a fact that I lacked the power to cut off Odin’s arm. Moreover, the divine authority contained in my sword was one that Odin was very familiar with.

“Did they intervene again?”

Odin cursed inwardly as he moved his remaining hand to pull out his staff. Odin knew numerous magic spells and wisdom, but what was even more terrifying was his madness.

Gambanteinn

Odin had made every effort to prevent the end of the world. And among those efforts was, of course, learning wisdom and magic. He also collected extremely powerful artifacts.

Odin’s power, which was close to omnipotence, came from there. As he pulled out his staff, which shone with light, my body felt heavy for an instant. Watching that, Odin was convinced.

“You’re not a ordinary human, after all.”

“Nonsense!”

“Gambantein has the power to nullify magic, but even magicians born with magic can’t do that.”

“……!!”

“What’s your true identity?”

I knew that he had inherited the blood of the Dragon Slayer. However, his growth rate was too fast to be explained by simply inheriting the Dragon Slayer’s blood. It was as if he had rediscovered something he had forgotten.

But Odin quickly pushed the thought aside. Now, he had to punish this arrogant rebel first.

To Odin, humans were mere tools created to worship gods. They were nothing more or less. But how could this tool dare to inflict harm on a god? Unforgivable.

“Make him beg for death with his own mouth.”

“Ghk.”

“The death of your most precious person will repeat infinitely before your eyes. Until your mind is destroyed and you’re reduced to nothing…….”

However, Odin couldn’t continue speaking. A massive explosion erupted, shattering the air. He immediately sensed the source of the explosion.

“Didn’t I warn you?”

Don’t even touch a single hair.

* * *

Fury.

Isaac’s body was consumed by rage. How dare they try to inflict irreparable pain on his family? Even if it was a god, he would never forgive them.

His surging anger made Isaac stronger and faster. Even Odin, who had been fighting Isaac on equal terms until now, began to falter.

“This won’t do. I’ll use it for the final battle.”

Odin, overwhelmed by Isaac’s fierce attack, was forced to use his trump card. The strongest spear, Gungnir, which he had been saving for the final battle.

Gungnir, the spear that shone like lightning, flew towards Isaac. Gungnir was proof that Odin was the god of wisdom and war.

The spear’s tip, which signaled the start of battle, flew straight towards Isaac’s heart. However, Isaac instinctively swung his fist and easily deflected the spear.

Of course, the title of “strongest spear” was not an exaggeration. Isaac’s fist and arm were severely injured from deflecting Gungnir, but he didn’t stop.

“You’re closer to a beast.”

Unbelievable strength. He could easily overpower Fenrir, Jörmungandr, or even Helen. It was as if the man was the beast mentioned in the prophecy of the end.

Isaac quickly closed the distance. Now, there was only one thing in his eyes. Odin calmly summoned his spear again. He could win if he took it one step at a time!

It was a decent judgment. At least, until Isaac grabbed Gungnir with his bare hands. The spear, which had been overwhelmed by Isaac’s strength, couldn’t return to Odin’s hand.

“Did you think you could grab it with your strength?!”

“Return it to me.”

“What?!”

Isaac threw the spear he was holding towards Odin. The spear flew at an incredible speed, and Odin couldn’t control it in time. It pierced his shoulder.

Odin gritted his teeth. He had already lost one arm, and the opposite shoulder was also injured, making it hard to move. How did it come to this?

“Me! To be defeated by humans like you?!”

Everything was perfect. He had completed the Valhalla system to fight against the monsters mentioned in the prophecy, and had even recruited a considerable number of heroes.

He had even taken the initiative against the monsters mentioned in the prophecy. It wasn’t anyone else, but me, Odin, who had made the greatest sacrifices and efforts for the world!

“Are you going to make me suffer like this?!”

What a joke! You, who did nothing, and only played with your family from afar! Now, you want to say I’m the one who’s wrong? Odin openly laughed.

But Odin didn’t know. His own arrogance, which thought his way was the best, had become his own downfall. It was an ironic twist.

The god of wisdom, who was supposed to be wise, was blinded by his own arrogance and couldn’t see himself. That’s why. The anger that had been boiling inside Isaac disappeared.

“You really don’t know anything, do you?”

But because of that, Isaac was able to regain his composure. Odin, no matter how much he was told, would not listen. So, he decided to end it all here.

Odin no longer had anything to fear. To prevent the impending doom, he had sealed away the power of Gungnir, his ultimate trump card. And now, he would release it here and now.

However, that was not a good thing for Odin. It was closer to defeat. He was using the power he had built up to prevent the end of the world on a mere mortal.

全力

Full Power

Gungnir

The Ultimate Trump Card

Isaac, who had been preparing for the end of the world, began to move towards Odin. Isaac, confirming this, drew his sword.

一揮掃蕩 血染山河

One Sweep, Blood-Soaked Mountains and Rivers

There was no longer any room for hesitation.

Without a moment’s delay.

The two powers clashed in an instant.

The world began to turn white.
