Chapter 136: “Volcano Expedition”
“Boss, I’ve been waiting for you.”
I targeted Hakuma and [Summoned] myself to the volcano. Although it was described as a volcano, the surroundings were a forest. The temperature was indeed high, but it didn’t quite fit the image of a volcanic area.
Comparing the simplified map on social media and the maps from the Hiers Kingdom and Aural Kingdom, the latitude of this area would be slightly south of the Aural Capital.
“It’s hot in this forest. Hakuma might not be used to it. [Summon].”
I called out to Kerry and the others, reassuring them. Hakuma smiled and shook his head.
The resistance to heat obtained when reincarnating into a Sköll seems quite high. The Sköll is a mythical creature said to chase the sun across the sky. It’s likely due to not being suitable for heat.
A similar resistance was also obtained by Ginka after reincarnating into a Hati. So, in this game world, Hati may be interpreted as one who runs before the sun, not as one who chases the moon. Then it is possible that Maṇagarm exists separately as an entity that specifically chases the moon.
Usually, young people with few friends are knowledgeable about Norse mythology. Rare is no exception.
“Well then, shall we go? Though I’m not sure which way to go.”
