I Became the Companion of the Gods

86 – EP.20.5 Back home -3

The wolf rushes at you.

It comes at a speed that cannot be seen with the naked eye and slams its foot down at the location where I am.

This is exactly what will happen in 5 seconds.

Before that, I slowly step forward and approach him.

At the same time, a huge wolf rushes in the same way as the observed future.

I ducked quickly to avoid the wolf’s paws and burrowed into his arms.

Most quadrupedal animals are limited in what they can do when they enter the abdomen….

In response to this, the opposing opponent lightly bounces in place and quickly rotates its body in the air.

Now that his sharp claws are rushing at me, I glide down on his body and use the wind to move myself to escape the attack.

As soon as I landed, the wolf’s mouth that ran to me and tried to bite me closed with one help.

And once more, kick the air platform to dodge it.

At the same time, he pressed down the top of his head with a wooden sword so that he would not go back on the wolf’s head.

I landed on top of the wolf’s body, and without hesitation I rolled off the wolf’s body and rolled on the ground.

‘It was close.’

If I was even 0.1 Second late, I might have died from being stabbed by the wolf’s fur, which was sharper than an awl….

While I was thinking that, the wolf approached me from behind and tried to stab me with its pointed tail.

In response to this, I put all my strength into my wrist holding the wooden sword as much as I could to let the tail pass, and immediately threw myself to the side to avoid even the tail being swung like a whip.

I’ve been able to avoid it up to this point, but it was difficult to dodge the next irregular tail.

I created several small embers, gave them the concept of death, and placed them at the location where Fenrir’s tail would reach.

The wolf’s sharp tail, which was moving so dazzlingly, touched the embers I created, causing stiffness for 0.5 Seconds.

It was an extremely short time, but for me 0.5 Seconds was a perfect amount of time.

Thanks to that, I was able to dodge the swaying tail attacks one by one or smoothly flow them out with my sword.

“Hmm, now it’s somehow useful.”

“Is that so?”

“What? Are you sure you can’t even feel your own growth?”

“It can’t be.”

Thousands of deaths, now tens of thousands of deaths, I managed to realize my own growth.

There is no change in the physical condition, but the development of the sensory part and ability is clearly felt.

First of all, the time to think about how to respond to the wolf’s attack has been extremely shortened, and I have more time to think about the next move.

There must be a difference from the first time I was in a hurry.

Next, there was a clear standout in the development of ability.

The future foreknowledge, which was limited to 3 seconds, has been increased to 5 seconds, and the gap between the present and the future has been completely eliminated.

To be able to see the future one second later and move directly from reality.

This was also a big improvement.

Aside from that, the ability to manipulate air, the ability to put death in fire, the ability to create elaborate hallucinations, and so on.

I was able to achieve the growth of various abilities. Even so…….

“I don’t think I can beat my father-in-law at all.”

“Pu-huh! Crazy guy… !! Has Mattang finally gone?”

“Well, people can have big dreams. Sighly…….”

“Yes, you are right, but…. Pooh… ! Write!!”

“Just smile. Because it makes me feel worse.”

“hahahaha!!”

Fenrir laughs loudly and makes a sound that makes the inside of the training ground float away.

He was a wolf that couldn’t be liked no matter how hard he tried.

“Arthur. A human who lived only a few decades beats me who has lived an infinite amount of time? Even if I am not on active duty, it is absolutely impossible.”

“As expected… ?”

“Of course not! Even your great-great-grandfather can’t win!”

“That’s a pad lip….”

“Considering my age, I’m talking about young guys whose hair hasn’t even dried out. What kind of pad lip is that?”

It’s not wrong, but even bringing up the story of ancestors….

That’s it. You can at least tip it off to Cor later.

Right now, there are other things I need to put all my attention on.

The fact that we are talking leisurely like this even though the minute is almost over means that it is about to begin.

The wolf’s hunt begins with exactly 10 seconds left.

“Take a good run away this time.”

“hahahaha…. I will do my best for now.”

I put down the wooden sword in my hand.

A wooden sword is meaningless to Fenrir with 10 seconds left anyway.

Because it is impossible to block the attack or to let it pass.

Four wolves attacking from different directions.

Even if I try to block it with a sword, the wolf ignores the sword and bites me. Just like Alice’s abilities.

So the concept of blocking doesn’t apply to these wolves.

The only way was to avoid it.

“Whoa….”

I take a deep breath lightly and see wolves attacking me from all four directions at the same time.

One with claws, one with teeth, one with a tail, and one with a massive body.

They all come running to kill me in different ways.

You couldn’t run away from them on the ground.

Then there is only one way.

I stomp the lifted foot down as it is, unraveling all the threads of air that have accumulated under me.

Then the compressed air burst out all at once, sending me flying high into the air.

Four wolves all looking up at once.

Ignoring it, all four jumped to where I was, which was also a poignant sight.

‘Evande….’

I thought they would jump into the air after me, but I never thought that all four would come at the same time.

The identities of the 4 wolves are not alter egos created by their abilities, but simply afterimages created by Fenrir’s rapid movement.

Since he is a wolf of substitute supply and demand, of course he is capable of such feats.

But to think that he would come with an afterimage even in the air where he couldn’t move at will….

“Oh my God…”

“Human, how long are you going to stay so blank? Even if I accidentally bite the groin, I don’t know?”

“Ugh… !! I know!”

This is also expected. For a while, I was burned by the ridiculous sight, but it didn’t mean I didn’t take measures.

First point. Kicking off the floor made of air in advance, the body changes its direction.

I succeeded in running away from the wolves following me, but the wolves also followed me back to where I was, using the ceiling as a stepping stone.

The second point, like the first one, stepped on the compressed air thread and flew back into the air.

The wolves lost their grooming again. Perhaps realizing that they couldn’t come after me at this rate, they all jumped in different directions and pressed me.

‘Isn’t this too much?!’

I knew that Fenrir was taking care of me in its own way, but to think that the wolves, who were only one body in reality, were aiming at me from different directions while I was in the air….

It was at a level that I could never understand.

But what can I do? This too is a reality…….

The air, which could have restricted the wolf’s actions, is no longer a safe zone.

5 Seconds left. The only option left for me is this judge.

Only one wolf between the pre-set paths.

If you somehow avoid that one attack, you can do anything.

Preparing for injury, I stepped on the air platform again and threw myself toward the ground.

The wolf, realizing that it was coming to its area, opened its mouth at me, and I stuck my left arm in my mouth.

After that, I was given a hallucination that made me mistake the inserted left arm for my torso.

With only my left arm eaten, I was barely able to land on the floor.

Bleeding parts are burned with fire, and the bleeding is stopped as a temporary measure.

‘About two seconds….’

It feels like a minute has passed, but in reality, only 8 seconds have passed.

It must have been that much concentration….

It would be great if this was the end, but unfortunately it’s not over yet.

Except for the wolf that bit my left arm, the other three were attacking me at once.

Now there was no air mat prepared, and there was no more energy to run away.

“The damn game of tag is over, human.”

“I see.”

I landed on the exact spot where I put down the wooden sword and picked up the wooden sword that had fallen on the ground.

And with one arm containing the strength he had been sucking in, he stabbed his sword toward the gold engraved on the floor.

The interior of the training ground, which has been damaged here and there while practicing with Fenrir.

Among them, the floor I was standing on had accumulated numerous damage from Fenrir’s downward slash.

In other words, I hit the floor one more time that seemed about to collapse at any moment.

In this way, my body was able to survive the last second while sinking downstairs along with the floor.

“This is my victory. Father-in-law!”

“It’s over the line….”

***

Five days have passed since I succeeded in surviving one minute miraculously while facing countless deaths.

The previous ordeal in Enbarg was successful, and this one was successfully passed as well.

But why….

“Why are you still here?”

“What, are you dissatisfied?”

“I was wondering if it would be okay for the Goddess to stay in the human land for so long.”

“No problem at all. I plan to stay here for the next few years!”

“Ehh… !!”

If Fenrir was by his side, he wouldn’t be able to do anything more reassuring than that, but he still hated it because he was uncomfortable.

What son-in-law would like to live in a house with his father-in-law?

“Hey, don’t you look at your face? Don’t you like being around me like that?”

“Yes.”

“Ah~ Wash it! This bastard, you trained me so much, but are you paying back the favor with candy? You are a very good alchemist!”

Speech is tempered. From Fenrir’s point of view, it was virtually endless killing of his son-in-law.

To be at peace with a being who killed himself more than 10,000 times…….

I think it’s good that PTSD didn’t come.

Anyway, how can I get this stubborn wolf back home…….

Kor, who was Fenrir’s only suppressor, was away on errands for Yata.

It was good to say that there was no way to send Fenrir.

“Seobang-nim, would you like another bowl?”

“Huh? Ah! Please!”

“Yes~♡”

Miho takes my empty rice bowl and fills it up to the fullest.

I would have felt burdened normally, but these days, perhaps because I used my abilities a lot, my hunger came quickly, which was rather good.

Should I say rice core? It was an appropriate situation.

“Tsk! You have our lovely daughter, but you’re a bastard who’s getting sloppy for another woman’s favor!”

A sight that would be uncomfortable enough in Fenrir’s eyes.

But I have no intention of favoring either Miho or Cor.

I like both equally and they are so precious to me that no one can give up on them.

In human society, it’s called a playboy and the worst, but…….

It’s common in the world of wild animals, Yata said earlier and told me not to worry about it.

So I tried not to care as much as possible….

It hurts my heart when the wolf, who is basically monogamous, pointed it out.

“What a nasty little guy! Pay for the sin of glancing at another b*tch over my daughter with your meat… !!”

-Fu-wook!

The sound of something sharp cutting through flesh.

The fork was deeply embedded in Fenrir’s foot as he tried to take away my meat side dish.

“Ugh… ?”

“Are you in moderation? He said he was Kor’s father, so I’ve looked after him, but if you’re going to cause more trouble to the West….”

The force exerted on the fork stuck in Fenrir’s foot was getting stronger and digging into his flesh.

“Will I not forgive you?”

“Oh, I got it… !!”

The great wolf starts to tremble as he sees Miho laughing ferociously.

I never imagined there would be anyone else in the world he feared other than the extremely angry Cor.

“Can you wait and follow me for a while?”

“What happened?”

“I have something to ask of you. Are you okay?”

“If it’s something simple, ask a human….”

“Are you okay?”

“That, yes….”

The day after this happened, Fenrir went back to his house like a lie.

The last time I saw the wolf’s back, it was very trembling, and it was firmly embedded in my brain.

Why did I feel sorry for not being like Namil…… ?

I don’t know.
