168 – Nymphs and Greco-Roman Mythology # 3

From noble mtl dot com

“It is said that animals called ‘owners’ once lived in forests, mountains, and fields… ! The Nemean Lion and Radon, the ruler of volcanoes, are such beings… !”

Greece, long ago.

It is said that in the land where the gods walked, huge spirits and animals walked through the mountains and forests.

It is said that lions with steel-like skins roar loudly in every rugged valley, and long, scary snakes like dragons live in deep caves.

“Looking at it, it’s clear that this animal is like that too… ! It is clear that the animal is powerful enough to be the master of a certain area… !”

This was Oinoi’s evaluation of the photo shown by Mr. Erato of the Muse Guild.

A powerful ancient species of monster is roaming around reality.

“Is it a crack break?”

The fact that the demon appeared in reality was highly likely to mean that a crack had overloaded somewhere and exploded.

It was clear that the crack, which had been neglected for a long time, was spewing out its contents.

“Are you looking for any overloaded cracks?”

When a crack is overloaded, the first thing to do is to close it so that what is inside cannot continue to escape.

“Well, I was looking for it hard, but I couldn’t find it….”

However, they say they are having a lot of trouble discovering overloaded cracks.

I didn’t quite understand.

The crack detection system was used to measure the magic wavelength contained in the crack.

The overloaded crack spread the wave of magical energy wider and was better detected by the crack detection system.

But you couldn’t detect it?

“It’s probably because of the typhoon. You know the typhoon is coming this way, right? Because of this strange typhoon, the detection system is not working well. “Maybe the explosion of cracks was also caused by this typhoon.”

I looked at the sky.

Beyond the distant sky, I could see dark clouds spewing out flashes of lightning.

Greece’s 35th typhoon “Typhon” Caused by abnormal temperatures.

Erato guessed that problems would arise in many places because of that influence, and that might actually be the case.

Well, I’m not a doctor in crack science, so it’s okay to say this or that.

“Animals from ancient mythology that only appear in old stories actually appear and roam around in reality. “I wondered if there would be any more surprises while working as an awakened person, but it’s surprising that there are still some left.”

Mr. Erato shook his head.

My eyes now turned to the nymphs who were licking up the gelato.

Nymphs were originally an ancient race that only appeared in mythology.

As nymphs roam the world, tapping on smartphones, and sometimes even driving supercars, there is no way that fearsome ancient beasts from mythology should not appear in the 21st century.

“I heard that nymphs are friendly with animals and are good at tracking them. Mr. Ildo. Can you track down and capture or capture ancient animals with the nymphs?”

Erato of the Muse Guild had tears in his eyes.

Looking at that scene, I heard the words to women long ago, “Please defeat the monster…” ! Then we will sing about the reward and glory we deserve… I felt like a hero when I heard the words “!”

Oinoi was also happy about this situation.

“Accomplishing tasks after receiving requests from women is fundamental to being a hero… ! The owner of the house thinks it would be a good idea to do a favor… !”

“This Coris also thinks it’s a good idea… ! Because chasing animals is more enjoyable and fun than you think… !”

“Of Calls… ! Rare animal… ! Ancient species… ! It is clear that these will be sold at a very expensive price… ! They capture it and sell it at auction… !”

The nymphs are more excited about this request than I am.

I came to Greece just with the intention of meeting Achilles and hearing from him about the use of the “Whispering Coin” And the man called ‘Jeongjeong’.

Unexpectedly, I received a request from the Muse Guild.

“Anything, let’s do it.”

# # #

“Mr. Ildo, it is nice to see you again in many ways.”

In front of the fountain in the square.

Achilles Legion, who was waiting for me at the meeting place, held out his hand to me.

When he held that hand, his grip was quite strong.

“I heard from Mr. Ildo and Mr. Erato. Are you participating in this ancient species capture operation? Just hearing the news already makes me feel reassured. “Mr. Il-do is a master of animals, isn’t he?”

Master of animals.

I knew that Achilles’ words were an exaggerated compliment to boost me, but it felt pretty good.

Immediately Achilles spoke.

“The reason I called Mr. Ildo wasn’t because of the ancient species issue, but… , I guess the situation is urgent. First of all, let’s handle this matter together. First of all—.”

Flutter-.

Achilles unfolded the map in front of me.

It seemed to be a map of the entire Greece.

“First of all, the place where the ancient species is said to have been discovered is in the small mountain village of Jagori. “The residents said they found a large, long-tailed animal like a wolf gnawing on a tree here.”

A large, long-tailed animal like a wolf.

It is said that the Jagori people gave this fearsome beast, which gnawed away all the roots of the trees in the forest, the name “Root Gnawer.”

Jagori Mountain Village is said to be an area that is suffering a lot from this beast because there are many people who make a living by gathering.

“The problem is that it is difficult to find because it wanders through forests, mountains, and valleys. “There are no casualties right now, but we don’t know what will happen if we leave it like this.”

The capture of a beast that is so difficult to catch that it is extremely difficult to even find it.

It was the perfect environment for me, Haildo, and the nymphs to step forward.

Boom-.

We got in the car and immediately headed to the mountain village.

Zagori.

The sight of 46 small mountain villages mixed ruggedly between canyons, mountains, and valleys made me feel like I was in a myth.

“This Coris, somehow this scene comes to mind…” ! This is the land where Zagorol, the valley water nymph who was a friend of Coris, lived… !”

Coris was very happy when the car was driving on a winding mountain road.

This scenery seemed to be quite familiar to Coris.

In fact, the rugged landscape of the valleys, the dense forests, and the valleys and streams flowing between them were a sight that would not be strange even if nymphs, other fairies, and spirits had played around in the past.

━Crumbling… !

However, it puffed out its fur as if it was mad.

Most of the time, there were two of them when they suddenly puffed out their fur like this.

One was when he was just bored and the other was when someone powerful invaded his territory as the chief dog squirrel.

In other words, he must have felt something strong enough to make him think that his position as the top dog squirrel in this ring was being threatened!

“Mr. Achilles! Please put me down!”

“Here?”

Achilles looked around.

Did they think the rugged valley and cliffs were too steep?

Kkeik-ik-.

The car finally braked.

As soon as the car door was opened, Kkeungkeung immediately ran out.

“It is clear that the owner of the domain that controls the nature around this village of Jagori is somewhere here… ! This oinoi is knowable… !”

Parr-.

Oinoi trembled.

Soon, Coris and Illinois also seemed to be trying to sense or feel something by pricking their short, pointed triangle ears here and there.

It was that moment.

━Kkeongkeong… ! Crumbling… !

Pangpang-!

From afar, I could hear the sound of a cat repeatedly hitting the floor with its tail.

Soon, small squirrels, birds, and all kinds of animals started flocking to Kungkungi, and Oinoi, who saw this, said,

“That is a sense of challenge… ! It is said that the dog squirrel, Kkeokkeongi, has become a challenger and is calling out to his opponent… ! It’s been a while since Oinoi has seen this… !”

A sense of challenge?

It was a time when I wondered what this was.

━───!!!!

There was a sound like thunder.

I hurriedly headed there along the road and saw a large, brown-haired animal hanging upside down on a steep cliff, roaring loudly downwards.

━Crumbling… !

It was literally a roar like thunder.

It had a large brown body like a bear with black stripes, its tail was long and abundant, and its claws were like hooks strong enough to keep it from feeling uneasy even when hanging upside down from a cliff.

What kind of animal is that?

Oinoi said when my eyes became dizzy.

“It is clear that it is an ancient dog squirrel…” ! I heard that all dog squirrels from long ago were that big and scary… !”

An ancient dog squirrel.

As its name suggests, it was a powerful and sturdy beast.

According to Oinoi’s explanation, it was so large that it was also called a “Giant ram.”

“Wasn’t it a difficult animal to find?”

When I tilted my head, Illinois laughed.

“Indeed, it is natural for the alpha individual who received the challenge ceremony to accept it… ! The dog squirrel challenged the Big Chimmunk and brought it out of existence… !”

Pot-!

The ancient dog squirrel “Root Gnawer” Ran towards the road.

It was as big as a small car, and perhaps due to the speed and destructive power of its weight and size, the road was immediately dented as if it had been hit by a huge excavator.

Wow!

An ancient dog squirrel that stands on the ground with all four legs.

Standing in front of him was Kungkung.

While the two animals were staring at each other, other animals such as deer, rabbits, and squirrels came from somewhere to watch this scene.

━Kkeongkeong… !

Finally, the two squirrels lunged at each other.

I wondered if this small dog, as small as the palm of my hand, could be a match for that fearsome domain owner, but it really was no match!

Puck!

Due to the headbutt to the body by the giant chipmunk’s overwhelming weight, it flew straight towards me.

I caught the hit with both arms, like an outfielder catching a fly ball that fell into the outfield.

“Kkeungkeung, are you okay!”

━Crumbling… !

It seemed like there were no serious injuries.

But he seemed upset, perhaps because he had been attacked.

“Indeed, it is impossible for two alphas to exist in this world… ! There is no doubt that the best Chimmunk is looking forward to fighting and winning against that Old Chimmunk and becoming a true alpha… !”

Illinois had a point.

Kkeunkkeongi is a warlike dog squirrel.

It must be unacceptable that there is another powerful dog squirrel other than yourself.

“Okay, keungkeunga. “It’s hyper evolution!”

━Kkeongkeong… !

I projected my magical energy as a single point towards Kenggangi.

Soon, the dog’s body seemed to glow, its fur began to turn golden, its tail became even longer, and a strong spark of electricity burst from its body.

Hyper dog squirrel.

Keongkeongi had evolved into the legendary super dog squirrel.

“That look, of course—.”

Achilles, who was watching the situation, seemed greatly surprised by the evolution of the snake.

Of course, I knew better than anyone else that the time for evolution was limited, so I said to Kungkungi without any delay.

“Kkeungkeung, go!”

Pot-!

Keongkeungi jumped high into the sky.

The snake that fell, spinning around with its tail in its mouth, was as fast as an angry thunderbolt hitting the ground, and boasted even more power.

━Crumbling… !

Finally, the keungkeong gave out a roar that sounded like a thunderbolt.

At the same time as he let go of the tail he was holding, the squirrel’s tail strike, which surpassed the speed of sound, cut through the air and exploded onto the back of the ancient dog squirrel.

“Hyper gale keung keung cham!!!”

From noble mtl dot com

Paaa!!!

Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-gwa-ga-.

━Kegegen… !!!!!

The ancient dog squirrel let out a loud groan.

It was a pitiful sound, like a puppy that had been suddenly hit, but perhaps because it had allowed a strong attack, the staggered giant squirrel eventually snapped and fell down.

That means only one thing.

It was a victory for the dog squirrel.

━Crumbling… !

The dog squirrel climbed onto the back of the ancient dog squirrel and roared so loudly that the entire valley trembled.

It was as if he was declaring, “I am the pinnacle!” And all of nature became calm, as if it had become quiet under the cries of a squirrel or a squirrel.

When he thought it was strange that he could not hear any birds chirping, Achilles looked at the fallen primitive dog squirrel and said,

“This giant dog squirrel was a semi-S-class magical beast. “He was the type that had a lot of trouble moving quickly and moving freely through the forest.”

If Kungkungi had not dragged this guy out of a sense of challenge, he would have had to chase and track him down this wide and rugged valley for several days.

In that sense, it was lucky that I was able to find and defeat one of the territory owners right away.

“Mmm, the fact that the opponent was Baby Chimunk means that he was very lucky… !”

Baby Chimmunk?

Illinois’ words really brought me to my senses.

“This is a baby?”

“Of Calls… ! An adult giant squirrel is literally as big as a hill… !”

Is this a true story?

It was truly an amazing story.

Pod-.

At that time, the young squirrel woke up as if he had come to his senses.

I thought I would be in bed for a full day, but my recovery ability was truly monstrous.

━Kkeongkeong… !
