What kind of people are the Norse in mythology?
No matter what the real Norse people are, there is no doubt that these guys are accustomed to driving dragon-headed warships, galloping on the sea and waves, and fighting against violent storms. Meng can only give them a "brave and fearless" character.
evaluation of.
Someone once commented on the greatest courage like this: "Even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your face will remain unchanged."
And the size of the giant python's body is not inferior to the majesty of Mount Tai.
It doesn't even have any hostility. Any tiny movement or movement of it is enough to set off countless storms and huge waves. It is a veritable natural disaster.
However, in front of this behemoth that was like a natural disaster, the dragon-headed warship, which was as small as a child's toy, and the even smaller humans, still desperately tried to break through the barriers of countless storms and huge waves, heading towards the giant snake.
Jormungandr is coming.
…
"Boom!!!!"
Thunder roared and violent storms came in an instant. Under the dense clouds, the sky turned completely black, and the sea turned into an uneasy deep darkness. The raging waves vented their dark emotions to their heart's content.
In Atler's sight, everything became dim, and the whole world seemed to be entering the end of the world.
The behemoth, as majestic as a mountain range, which caused all these natural disasters, did not even try to pay attention to the tiny ant-like creatures beside it, but continued to drill into the depths of the sea.
"boom……"
The huge monster that caused the storm emitted a leisurely low roar, and the resonance caused by its low roar in the air made the ships tremble slightly.
Because of its actions, where the behemoth dived into the sea, a huge whirlpool of unimaginable size was formed.
But the huge whirlpool that seemed to be trying to swallow everything was faintly pulling the dragon-headed warship forward.
"Creak..."
Under such tremendous pressure, the hull of the dragon-headed warship, which was made of fine oak, even seemed to be making a faint creaking sound.
"The giant snake wants to leave."
Staring at the huge thing in front of him, which was so huge that he couldn't even see the end of it, like an endless wall blocking his sight, Atler suddenly realized this in his mind.
Although he didn't understand why the giant snake chose to leave, he soon understood that if he wanted to escape, there was a high probability of escaping from this doomsday world.
"Do you want to run away..."
A thought flashed through me.
However, this idea only flashed through his mind once, and then he killed it outright.
What a joke. My sister's husband died because of this giant snake. How could I not avenge the family blood feud?
"Boom!!!!"
Next to my ears, the wind roared, the deafening thunder roared, and the rain poured down from the top of my head.
Countless runes engraved on the hull emitted intense white light, illuminating the dragon-headed warship like a ship of light.
But at the same time, a low but very penetrating horn sound spread over the stormy sea.
"Woo~"
Lina, holding a ram's horn in her hand, stood on the bow of the dragon-headed warship without fear, blowing the horn to advance in the face of the vast power of heaven and earth.
Under the strong white light and above the rough sea, her figure looked like a majestic Valkyrie, which was particularly conspicuous.
Accompanied by the passionate sound of the horn, in front of the huge monster, the light ship sailed towards the boundless monster amid the huge waves of violent wind and rain.
At the same time, under the guidance of that heroic figure, the remaining dragon-headed warships also followed closely.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"..."
The specially carried ballistae on the Dragon Head Warship was directly aimed at the figure of the giant snake and fired.
The crossbow bolts, as thick as a child's arm, were fired directly at the giant snake. Without any surprise, several crossbow bolts hit the giant snake's abdomen directly.
Unexpectedly, the crossbow bolt went in without any roots, as if the scales on the giant snake Jörmungandr were in vain.
And then...
"Roar!!!!!!"
The upper body of the giant snake, which had already dived into the sea, suddenly shook out of the sea. In an instant, countless huge waves weighing tens of thousands of tons were rolling, and the entire sea seemed to be furious. It let out a scream of pain for the first time.
.
The incredibly rich sound completely overwhelmed all the thunder, heavy rain, and waves. The whole world seemed to be shaken by this sound.
"what happened?"
Atler couldn't help but cover his ears, which seemed to burst and bleed, and thought in shock.
In his imagination, he didn't have too many expectations for the power of the crossbow. After all, the dark scales of the giant snake and the Norse warriors who climbed on top of the giant snake's head had already proved it with their swords.
The solidity of the giant snake's scales.
but……
Atler suddenly raised his head and looked at the center of the crossbow bolt, then turned his head and looked towards the tail of the giant snake.
With his astonishing eyesight, across the barrier of the violent storm, Atler could vaguely see the majestic tail of the giant snake a few kilometers away, like the endless mountains, and the white substance wrapping its tail as if it were nothing.
"That is……"
Atler couldn't help being surprised, and then he laughed wildly.
"Look! The giant snake is shedding its skin now!"
Under his gaze, on the tail of the giant snake Jörmungandr, which was like an endless mountain range, a piece of snake slough that had not yet faded away still remained at its tail.
In an instant, Atler deduced the cause and effect of everything.
The giant snake Jörmungandr originally wanted to shed its skin here, but its huge body has only allowed it to shed half of its skin until now. Therefore, the scales on the head that were the first to successfully molt have roughly grown, but the tail that has not yet successfully molted has grown.
And the abdomen, which has just shed its skin, has still not grown properly and is at its most vulnerable moment.
The prophetess once told them that there would be a good opportunity to go to sea at this moment...
Finally appeared in front of them.
Countless thoughts flashed in Atler's mind.
"Everyone! Attack the snake's belly!!!"
He used all his strength to spread his voice as much as possible in the stormy sea.
As he spoke, he raised the hand ax in his hand and threw it towards the belly of the giant snake Jormungandr.
"call!"
Along with the sound of breaking through the air, the sharp hand ax flew straight away.
At the same time, there were countless hand axes being thrown towards the giant snake.
"call……"
Some were hit, and some fell into the sea, but what excited them was that blood could be vaguely seen gushing out of the giant snake's belly.
Even for that behemoth, this wound was not even a scratch, but it was enough to encourage them.
Have the opportunity!
But at the same time, a sudden strong wind suddenly hit.
"Boom!!!"
Wind and thunder raged, turbid waves lifted into the sky, and the ship of light undulated violently in the wind and waves.
Under Atler's gaze, the endless behemoth raised its head like a mountain, and the countless storms it stirred up made the sea more turbulent and restless.
It looked down at the tiny ant-like creatures in front of it, and for the first time its needle-like pupils showed deep anger, turning red...
