Episode 38/Chapter 3: Ratatoskr (3)

TL: Tsubak

ED: Juls sounds

If Nidhogg was a dragon and Hraesvelgr was an eagle, then Ratatoskr was a squirrel

But, just as the dragon and eagle weren’t nore squirrel either

Beast Ratatoskr

The only existence that could freely move in the World Tree

The squirrel, that had ash-colored fur, was bigger than nor fro It’s leathery hide, which was laced in black lines, was hard as steel, and its fur was as sharp as a blade

The root Nidhogg was living in was in a really deep place The lake of Mimir was connected to one of the roots too, but they couldn’t be viewed as being the sa lived was the 100th floor, then the lake of Mimir was at the 10th

Ratatoskr passed the lake of Mi the dense fog

Ratatoskr looked different fro tail that rivaled its body in length and had four legs, but its head and other body parts looked really heinous

There were sharp stones surging up from its fur If the stiff fur was like a blade, then the rocks could be coe axes

But the , white teeth that could turn hard boulders into dust in an instant were sprouting out There was a horn erupting fro its head The one that was in its nose was like that of a rhinoceros, and the ones at the sides of its head were centered so that they made a circle

It wasn’t that weird up to this point because horns were so that astly was that there was the upper body of a woman melded into its forehead

The lower body of the woman was the head of the beast, just like a centaur, and the upper body of a human

The woman had violet skin and had hair coated snakes

Her eyes held no scleras and were coue of a snake darted out fro at its shape, one could say that it was rather beautiful, but the feeling it gave was heinous and atrocious, so it also made one feel fear

Ratatoskr hummed and ran It’s claws left neounds in the World Tree

The fog grew denser Hu was heard aside from the steps of Ratatoskr

And it finally stopped It wasn’t because it had reached its objective There was a bit o, but it stopped anyways

The boundary between the root Nidhogg lived in and the one above that lay before it

The last line that couldn’t be crossed if one didn’t have per’s eventual deht of severalthe had made

But Ratatoskr shook his head It was because it wanted to go by the traditional way

"Shall I go then?&8221;

Let’s bully Nidhogg

Let’s keep berating the poor dragon that was stuck in the roots and make it resent the world Let’s dye its white heart with black emotions

More than a thousand years had passed, but the squirrel didn’t grow tired of it It was rather fun for it

Because Nidhogg only had Ratatoskr, but it wasn’t the sar Ratatoskr could coo from the top of the World Tree to the roots howeverwas only one of the tasks it had to do

It was soht it joy whenever it was recalled in itsit

Ratatoskr giggled and then crossed the line as its deterrew

It clenched the World Tree with its claws and pushed itself upside down

Ratatoskr didn’t call for Nidhogg It was because, even by walking silently like this, that big and fool-like dragon extended its head like a chick waiting for food and waited for it

And it wasn’t different today It hadthe line, but the black dragon extended its head beyond the dense fog and poisonous fog

"Ratatoskr!&8221;

Nidhogg said It was Nidhogg that always s the conversation but always ended up crying

Ratatoskr laughed It was because it was glad to see that the heinous dragon that was 2 kilo looked at itself and speak with an anxious voice

Nidhogg grabbed the World Tree with two of its aret closer and pushed its body closer The scene was overwhel closer, but Ratatoskr didn’t mind it much There was plenty of distance between the two of theht curses It was only saying that Nidhogg was stupid and only big and acted as a kid, but thisas it wouldn’t be able to understand hard curses either way

And Nidhogg started to sob as it had effect

"Too much, you are too much! Why are you always like this?&8221;

As the distance between the two of theic rather than with their voices

Ratatoskr laughed once on were still heard as a roar, and it was too laughable

"That is because you are a retard that doesn’t have friends, fa body flinched Nidhogg said in a dispirited voice again,

"But you are my friend&8221;

"I’m not Why would I befriend trash like you?&8221;

As Ratatoskr spoke in a cold voice, Nidhogg flinched once again Then, Ratatoskr slightly pulled back, as it knew that this was the perfect ive additional wounds

"For trash like you to call me a friend, I will have to leave as you have worsenedknocked its head on the floor and begged Ratatoskr s’s face

"Fine Then copy what I say If you do, I will stay for a bit longer&8221;

"Ye-Yeah&8221;

"Nidhogg is trash that is only big, doesn’t have any friends, and has a retarded head and doesn’t have any right to live Having been born is a sin of itself&8221;

Nidhogg opened its ain

"Why, you can’t? I will leave then&8221;

Ratatoskr really turned around and then Nidhogg yelled hurriedly

"I…I will do it!&8221;

Ratatoskr slightly turned its head and looked down at Nidhogg Nidhogg sobbed and opened its …retard…stupid……&8221;

"I can’t hear you well&8221;

"Trash Doesn’t have rights to live Having been born is…… a sin……&8221;

Nidhogg’s voice became lower and lower, and Ratatoskr’s smile became denser in kind

"I-I’ forced a smile and said This was the moment Ratatoskr hoped for the most

"Retard! You really do it because I tell you to do so? I’hed and turned around He still hadn’t trans had requested be passed to Nidhogg and also couldn’t r, but it could do all this later

Leaving like this today would be themake now that it was left alone? Howit was fun, and because of that, Ratatoskr didn’t leave Yggdrasil i’s hopeful attitude would rise again so he could crush it oncepushed its body forward, and Ratatoskr laughed once again at that bigto do? You can’t even fly because of how big you are!&8221;

Ratatoskr turned around to harass Nidhogg It even got a bit lower as if egging it on

Just like Odin had predicted after listening to Nidhogg’s words

‘Go’

Cuchulainn said At that co head, split in two

The thing that surged up was Nidhogg It’s size, on, and it fluttered its four pair of wings and flew up

Ratatoskr was stunned at the sudden eence and tried to turn around, but it couldn’t do so All four of its legs were tied up to the World Tree and didn’t raved As he had installed it in a hurry, it wasn’t able to tie down a beast like Ratatoskr for a long tih if it was able to tie the rude squirrel down even for a few seconds

Nidhogg fluttered its wings once again as Ratatoskr broke the rune ic was activated

Odin hadn’t installed only one rune uessed that Ratatoskr would approach and leave the border Nidhogg wasn’t able to cross

Ratatoskr’sflew The distance between the two grew closer by every passing second

Finally, Nidhogg’s teeth reached Ratatoskr It bit its tail

The first plan Odin had co down Ratatoskr, but Tae Ho’s plan was different Tae Ho, as riding on Nidhogg’s forehead, looked at a place beyond Ratatoskr He looked at the line that Nidhogg couldn’t cross and ordered,

"Fly up!&8221;

Nidhogg fluttered its wings withRatatoskr’s tail

Odin had said that it was i’s body

To cross it, one needed Ratatoskr, the only existence that was allowed to do so

To fly while biting Ratatoskr one needed overwhelth and also speed that could cross that line in an instant

Ratatoskr shook its body as if struggling It tried to delay Nidhogg’s speed by a little bit

Nidhogg felt it to be difficult It felt that it would be impossible to cross the line like this

But it didn’t stop its wings

It wasn’t because of the desire that it wanted to cross the line and get out

Nidhogg wasn’t alone There was soiven Nidhogg a title of Valkyrie

The process was a h

Because the th to be added!

[Saga: The Warrior that Rides on Valkyries]

[Saga: The One that Controls Dragons]

[Saga: The Charge of a Warrior is like a Stor It enabled Nidhogg, who didn’t have , to be able to draw a perfect trajectory

Nidhogg raised its head and pushed Ratatoskr in the boundary line It used Ratatoskr as a shield and passed through the invisible barrier!

A sound that was breaking was heard, and Ratatoskr cried out

Nidhogg’s strength was spent as she passed through the barrier, but she still sudrasil and hung on to it desperately

Nidhogg couldn’t do anything anyth to move now It couldn’t even be happy about the fact that it had crossed the line because of its exhaustion

Ratatoskr breathed roughly It couldn’t get out frorasp; however, it could push it back below the line

But its plan was thwarted It wasn’t because of Odin’s rune ic didn’t exist outside the boundary line
