Chapter 240.1. The Outcome of Mob's Fight Doesn't Affect The Event

Jormungandr took a hit from [Mjolnir]. Unlike before, there was no defensive barrier, and the hammer formed from plasma covered Jormungandr's body with intense heat.

"Nuooo!"

As if engulfing everything, a white flash illuminated the surroundings, melting the ground and transforming it into glass. The air burned, causing the cave to shake, and cracks appeared in the walls and pillars.

Jormungandr roared as it tried to endure, but finally fell to its knees under the force of [Mjolnir] unleashed by Mibu.

"I knew it, [Mjolnir] was your weakness after all!"

"Gnugh..."

Unable to move and groaning in pain, Jormungandr was infused with magical power from Poyopoyo Hammer again, which spun in the air.

"Follow up, Frigg!"

"Understood, young lady."

With a faint smile, Frigg-oneesan aimed her gun at Miu and pulled the trigger. 

A magic circle appeared at the muzzle, and a support energy blast was fired.

-Attack 3x-

The plasma swelled, and more power surged through Mibu's body.

"Take this!"

[Mjolnir]

Swinging the Poyopoyo Hammer high, Miu yelled as she struck Jormungandr's head.

Two consecutive [Mjolnir] blows triggered another massive explosion in the cave. The blast shattered all pillars, incinerated the fallen Frost Giant's body, and melted everything with intense heat.

Jormungandr's massive body, as if filling the entire cave, tore apart like scraps of paper and fell to the ground in chunks.

As the explosion subsided and the plasma glow faded, Miu landed gracefully on the ground.

A massive crater lay before her, at the center of which stood the vague form of Jormungandr, shrouded in darkness.

The dark mass swayed, and Jormungandr let out a delighted voice.

"You did well. I thought you were a mere Thor imitation, but are you stronger than Thor? How did you even know my name?"

"According to the ancient text Gihren's Deception. Jormungandr was a massive serpent that encircled Midgard 3 times, slain by Thor's Mjolnir. However, it managed to kill Thor with its venomous breath. So it was a mutual kill."

With determination and a smug grin, Miu confidently showcased her knowledge, tightening her cheeks firmly.

Jormungandr was a serpent that clashed with the mightiest Asgardian god, Thor, during Ragnarok. 

Its defining feature is its sheer size. It was deemed a threat by Odin and cast into the sea. 

The lesson here is that you shouldn't discard your pets thoughtlessly.

"Young lady, it's not Gihren. If that were the case, it'd lead to a space war. It's Gylfaginning."

"It's related to a war, so I think it's fine!"

In response to Frigg-oneesan's correction, Miu displayed her confidence, unperturbed. In situations like this, you can't panic. Even if you're wrong, as long as you're poised, there's no problem!

"Anyway, there's no other enemy with an absurdly massive snake, and [Mjolnir] as its weakness other than Jormungandr!"

"Bwahahaha! You're an interesting one. I don't know who you are, but you're right. I'm Jormungandr, though I'm just a shadow."

Jormungandr, laughing joyfully, gradually began to fade.

"I'm Loki! The cute and mischievous Mii-chan, a Trickster!"

I'm just to make a proper introduction. After all, the enemy is Jormungandr. It adds a sense of protagonist event to the battle's aesthetics."

"Loki? No, your presence... Well, whatever. My true form is still asleep. I hope the next time we fight, I can do so in my true form."

Most of the darkness fades, from the small remaining fragment, and I hear his final words.

"Well then, until next time. Chibisuke."

And with that, Jormungandr's shadow completely vanishes. Crowley's Box and Aegir's remnant are on the ground, with a solitary skull.

-Defeated Jormungandr's Shadow!-

The log displays an immense amount of experience points, and various dropped items appear.

"Huh? What's this? There are almost 10 pages of items...?"

There are shadows' fangs, scales, and even magical weapons. Gems, ores, and a plethora of materials. My level has also increased to 98.

"Check that later. Right now, even though they're shadows, leaving the bodies of Jormungandr's kin behind is dangerous."

I nod as my shoulder is lightly tapped. Indeed, it wouldn't be good for humans to gather the materials.

...Wait, not good?

"Hey, all the bodies have turned into gems and gold?"

"According to Frigg's Deception, the bodies of shadows, which are clusters of magical power, turn into gems."

With an expression more intense than I've ever seen before, Frigg-oneesan shakes my shoulders vigorously.

Certainly, Frigg-oneesan is being deceived.

Ah, I see. So they've become magic stones. Since the shadows are massive clusters of magical power, they're transformed into magic gems and ores.

"We need to collect them quickly, or the cave will collapse! Let's hurry!"

The cave rumbles, and it's hard to stay on my feet. It seems the battle with Jormungandr was quite intense.

"But, the bodies of Jormungandr have also turned into gems? In vast quantities?"

"We're collecting it all!"

The ground shakes, and Frigg-oneesan's face transforms into a fierce expression, making me tremble. It seems the sight before her is like poison.

The bodies of Jormungandr have turned into a mountain of gems and gold. Collecting all of this seems daunting, if not impossible.

I can't use -Fight-, and the only option is to gather them one by one...?

"Collect Ant too! If the cave collapses, it'll disappear to another dimension, you know? Are you okay with searching for it in the rift between dimensions, young lady?"

I'll use a secret plan while sighing at the seemingly earnest Frigg-oneesan. Otherwise, Frigg-oneesan might disappear into another dimension along with the cave.
