I Regressed But The World DidnT Fall Apart - Chapter 29

I Regressed But The World Didn’T Fall Apart 29

Transcendent Hunter’s Streaming -29-

029.

“Ha!”

Yorund, with a surprised expression, resumed the game.

Looking at Idohyeok, he said,

“······You remind me of Odin’s son.”

Among the various gods that Vikings believe in, Odin is the supreme god.

Famous for being the king of gods, and wiser than anyone, knowing everything in the world.

But there was a special reason why Viking warriors followed Odin so fervently.

Odin, the god of war.

The ruler of Valhalla.

It was every Viking warrior’s dream to bravely fight and die on the battlefield, then be guided by Valkyries to Odin’s hall of Valhalla to become Einherjar (Odin’s warriors).

Naturally, Yorund was one of the Viking warriors who dreamed of becoming an Einherjar.

The reason he was gathering novice warriors here now was precisely for that purpose.

Although he was retired from the berserker unit, he aimed to return to the battlefield someday to fight till the end and die.

So, when Yorund said that Idohyeok reminded him of Odin’s son, it was the highest praise he could give.

– Huh.

– And

– Yuronde says such things, lol.

– Indeed, a sudden attack master.

– Stealthy and decisive.

The viewers who heard that were astonished.

To most players, Yuronde, who doesn’t hesitate to speak bluntly, sending such praise was surprising.

Occasionally, players who managed to win against Yuronde would hear phrases like “Impressive!” or “A great warrior!” but never such extreme praise.

“What is your name? A warrior blessed by Odin.”

“Gunnar.”

“Gunnar! Hmm, I won’t forget that.”

Gunnar was the protagonist’s name in Rise of Valhalla.

Although it was possible to set a personalized name, Yido Hyuk stuck with the default one.

Black Oak, who joined the multiplayer mode, used their streamer name as their in-game name.

Ding-

At that moment, a game notification sounded.

[Yuronde acknowledges you]

[A quest has been assigned]

『Wodan, id est furor, bella gerit, hominique ministrat virtutem contra inimicos.

Wodan, that is madness, directs wars and also empowers people against enemies.』

『Gunnar, this great warrior who seems to be blessed by Odin is worthy of all warriors’ praise. Perhaps the blood of the gods’ king Odin flows in him.』

『Current Objective: Recognition of the warriors (1/5)』

“Oh. A quest too?”

Yido Hyuk, upon seeing the notification, remarked.

The battles were much more realistic than It Kills Too, but seeing the quest window made the game feel more real.

Perhaps that’s why it seemed more intriguing.

Yido Hyuk closed all the windows that popped up in front of him and glanced at the chat window.

-?

-And lol

-Is this already up?

-Whoa, Yuronde gives out Odin’s quests too?

But amidst this chaos, the chat was in an uproar.

Black Oak was also surprised and said, “Wow, this is amazing. You guys didn’t know about this until now?”

-Yeah

-You think so?

-World’s first, wow

-I haven’t seen anyone receive it from Yuronde though.

“Is it not showing up properly?”

“Yeah. It’s not a main quest, it’s a side quest, and not everyone can just take it.”

Known as the Odinsson Quest.

This side quest bestowed upon players the title of Odin’s Son after receiving recognition from skilled warriors five times or more.

Having the title “Odin’s Son” was a symbol that determined whether one was a true master of Valhalla or not.

Of course, this wasn’t the first time the Odinsson Quest had appeared.

Rise of Valhalla had been released for over a year and was a popular game since its launch.

With countless players worldwide delving, exploring, and enjoying the game, there were no hidden quests left undiscovered.

“But as far as I know, this is the first time the quest has appeared in the tutorial area… Yorund giving the Odinsson Quest to warriors is also a first.”

It wasn’t unheard of for players to defeat Yorund.

BlackOrc, known for his physical prowess as a streamer, was up against numerous talented individuals in this world of intense competition.

Compared to ordinary players, there were countless talented individuals who, even by BlackOrc’s standards of being good at the game, were simply unbeatable.

“Though it seems like Dohyuk-nim might be the best among them…”

But being the biggest doesn’t mean being the only talented one.

As shown by Dohyuk, there were those who had defeated Yorund since the tutorial.

However, these individuals hadn’t received as much praise to lead to the Odinsson Quest like now.

“Perhaps the condition is the clear time. Dohyuk-nim achieved a 10-second cut… So maybe between 10 seconds and around 30 seconds? If you defeat Yorund within that time frame, the Odinsson Quest will appear.”

“Ah, there’s a time limit.”

“Yes. Wow, but if there’s still hidden elements in Valhalla… No, if the condition is to achieve a 10-second cut on Yorund, then it’s quite natural.”

– Seriously, just insane talent.

– If this gets exported as a clip, it’s going to cause a stir again lol

– Valhalla’s popularity is already on the rise

– Veterans might take on the challenge to receive the Odinsson Quest from Yorund

“Some hear the title of Odin’s Son from the start, but BlackOrc, who even after numerous attempts is being told to go suckle more from his mom, is truly becoming impressive…”

-Ugh

-LOL

-Don’t forget the kitchen knife

-BabyOrc LOL

“No, guys… It’s not that I can’t do it, okay? The battle axe is just… Ugh, you’ll understand once you try it. You’ll see how unreasonable Dohyuk-nim is.”

Saying this, BlackOrc turned his head to look at Dohyuk.

“Really… Such insane talent.”

Now that he had handled the battle axe himself, he understood.

Watching from the side, Dohyuk’s gameplay didn’t seem that difficult, but each move was infused with advanced combat tactics.

While practicing alone in mannequin mode, slashing and stabbing, once he entered real combat with the battle axe, his hands twisted, his waist kept turning, and maintaining balance became challenging.

It was one thing to attack wildly, but trying to defend against the opponent’s attacks made it difficult.

As if agreeing with BlackOrc’s words, Dohyuk nodded his head and spoke.

“Yes. As BlackOrc-nim said, it’s better to not handle dual weapons if you don’t have the talent.”

“Uh?”

“Oh. I didn’t mean to say BlackOrc-nim lacks talent… Um… It was more about not having the talent to handle a battle axe to that extent. Hmm.”

-Ugh LOL

From Noble mtl dot com

– What’s the difference between the two?

– How many times do I have to tell you, Bloth? You have no talent.

– hahahahaha.

– Clumsy hands, seriously.

“Ah, really, this won’t work. I can accept hearing that I lack talent from Mr. Dohyuk, but I can’t stand hearing it from you guys. Ugh.”

With those words, Blackoak stepped forward.

To progress the game further, he needed Yorund’s acknowledgment as well.

However, it’s like a sparrow following a crane and getting its legs torn.

Still, with confidence in his own physical abilities, Blackoak didn’t consider himself a sparrow, but even if he were to follow a crane instead of a sparrow, the risk of getting his legs torn was equally high.

Indeed, one must know their limits well.

Blackoak’s equipment had suddenly changed to a sword and shield.

– hahahahaha, when did you put on the sword and shield?

– Sword and shield are badass, hahahahaha.

– Seriously, playing real mode without a shield is hardcore.

He decided to switch the viewers’ reactions like that with his main setup, the sword and shield!

With that determination, Blackoak stood before Yorund.

“Oh. Let’s do this.”

Dohyuk sent a word of encouragement from behind.

-(Slightly paraphrased) Let’s have some fun mischief.

-hahahaha.

-Doesn’t seem like a paraphrase?

**

“Hoo-hah!”

Clang!

Yorund’s axe blade was pushed back.

It wasn’t due to strength.

It was a deliberate move by the experienced warrior.

Yorund, utilizing the force pushing him back, spun his body around and swung his other arm.

Thud!

But the axe handle was blocked by the shield.

Yorund’s eyebrows twitched.

At first, he thought he was dealing with a wet-behind-the-ears kid, but now he realized the opponent might be able to hold their own to some extent.

It was a response hinting at such thoughts.

Clang! Thwack! Clang, clank!

Followed by several exchanges of blows.

Blackoak advanced, sometimes blocking Yorund’s attacks with his sword, sometimes with his shield.

“Whoa!”

Blackoak let out a battle cry.

His battle with Yorund was amplifying his adrenaline.

Swinging, thrusting, blocking, dodging.

Black Oak moved his body non-stop.

It was a battle where even a slight mistake would lead to defeat, making one break out in sweat!

At this level, it was a moment to showcase one’s skills without holding back!

-Hmm…

-Are you doing well?

-Sigh…

-You’re doing well… You’re good at it…

That was the reaction of the viewers.

If Black Oak, who was deeply engrossed in the battle, had seen it, he would have felt unjust about the chatroom where people were dying to see him.

Right now, it was clear that Black Oak was doing well.

Although Yorund, who had been cut off in 10 seconds by Ido-hyuk, was receiving recognition from warriors, what was beyond that was a level that only skilled players of Balhalla, who were used to hearing praises, could demonstrate.

So, originally, Black Oak should have been receiving admiration from the viewers at this moment.

Ding-

[‘Ido-hyuk’s Disciple’ has donated 1,000 won.]

-hahahaha, at that level, he’s in the top 5% among Balhalla users.

-For real hahahaha

-It may be true… but still…

-Why do you look so bored hahahaha

-Is it because it’s after Ido-hyuk-sensei’s turn?

-hahahahaha

But the problem was what came after Ido-hyuk’s battle.

“hehehe. How was that?”

In the end, Black Oak, who received recognition from Yorund, returned.

He couldn’t defeat him, but after handling it well, Black Oak heard, ‘Hm, you’re pretty decent!’

“You’re definitely different when you have a sword and shield. You also seem to measure distances better than when you had an axe. Your shield skills also look proficient.”

“hahahaha, really? It seems like I have more composure due to my equipment setup.”

Ido-hyuk complimented Black Oak like that.

Of course, according to his standards, Black Oak’s movements revealed numerous flaws.

But he was aware of it.

Even in such situations, he did not judge others based on his own standards.

-Wow

-Wow

-What a pro!

-You’re doing great!

-Good

The viewers also showered Black Oak with various words of admiration.

“hehehe. How about it, everyone? Even if I’m not as good as Ido-hyuk, I can hold my own, right?”

Excited by such reactions, Black Oak had a secret behind these viewers’ responses…

-(Info) Just now, Teacher Dohyuk asked for donations.

A donation that chimed in at that moment.

-Oh

-Ohh

-Pay attention

-What’s up with that blind bird?

-hahahahaha

-Oh dear

-Da-si, pay attention ^^

“······.”

Black Oak stared at Lee Dohyuk as if asking if it was real.

And then, Jian’s manager’s timely action.

(SquirrelThunder has been banned)

-Cut

-hahahahaha

-It’s fair to ban the blind one

“···Mr. Dohyuk?”

“Hmm. Let’s continue the game.”

Lee Dohyuk had no choice but to avoid Black Oak’s gaze.
