You and Me Under The World Tree

"This is the underground kingdom of the Jura Mountains: Grinheim. As the name suggests, this is the 'Kingdom of Grin'. The giants who once ruled...maybe still live here are called Grin. "While leading the group of people to move forward, Hoder said.
His voice was not deliberately lowered, but under the protection of the helmet, his voice still had a gloomy and hoarse feel. Even when speaking in a normal voice, his voice was lower than usual.
But it didn't matter, because at this time, except for the good boy Siegfried, the other two people did not pay attention to his words.
For Regin, this is a return visit to his old place, but for the Gothic prince, he needs to carefully examine the environment here.
"How should I put it, this place doesn't seem... like a kingdom." Finally, Siegfried said this.
Originally, he had imagined this when he heard about the giant power lurking under the mountains. But when he listened to Regin's description in a few words, he originally thought that it should be a huge country, no matter how bad it was, it should be a huge country. The underground city-state where giants live is a much larger place for humans.
In short, whether it is an underground country or an underground city in the true sense, it should have a "grand" temperament. Rough buildings, rune brilliance or flames that replace sunlight are all must-haves. Maybe there will be always... Giant guards defending against foreign enemies.
Siegfried imagined that the giants mentioned by the Midgard poets were all synonymous with power and terror. In fact, the scene in Grinheim was similar to what Siegfried imagined. In order to be able to completely The entire northwest of the Jura Mountains is hollowed out to accommodate hundreds of giants, and the underground space extends in all directions. You can go to almost any place in the mountains. These giants even raise deer in the mountains!
 but...
 "It seems like everything is a thing of the past."
Regin's voice was a little low, but he did not deliberately hide his emotions, so others could easily detect a trace of twisted pleasure in his words.
Of course he remembered the prosperity Grinheim had once enjoyed, but so what?
There was only a weak lighting in front of him now - the "eternal flame" from Muspelheim that hung at the top and was protected by a specific device was still working. The kingdom's 'little sun', but the entire city below was silent. The giant residents and auxiliary lighting rune lights in Regin's impression all disappeared.
 All that's left is dead silence...
But this kind of dead silence is not a description. It does not refer to 'silence as if everyone is dead', but 'silence because of death'. Although that memory is sealed in the deepest place, Regin is fine. He wouldn't read it, but at this time, the scene at that time did pop up in his mind.
A large number of warriors poured out of the nightmare-like city filled with giants, but what was left behind in the end was a pile of corpses. At that time, Hoder was definitely at the peak of his life.
 Sage of Völsung...
"Stop looking and keep moving forward. Our enemy must be right in front of us." Hoder said.
Then, the group of people went all the way down the huge road that could accommodate a giant like a giant walking side by side. This feeling was wonderful, and it was a rare experience for Siegfried himself.
If he hadn't known that he was inside the mountain at the moment, he would have felt that he was going down the mountain, but now it seems correct to say that he was going down the mountain...
Finally, they reached the "ground" of Grinheim. This road was still quite far away. Although Siegfried didn't know how deep his group went, he could estimate the distance - that distance. The ceiling of the mountain is already very high, so they must be in an underground space lower than the plain at this time.
Then, they saw a figure at the entrance of this rough underground city. Under the illumination of Muspelhel's eternal fire, the figure was quite tall, about twice as big as a person.
He wore an unusual black armor, which even reflected the color of blood under the firelight. He held a long sword in his hand that was just right for a giant, and carried a simple sword on his back. Large shield.
Among the frost giants of different sizes, this size is not that big, but he is the famous 'giant warrior' in Jotunheim - the giant warrior Ike.
"Tsk, I didn't expect to meet him again." After seeing the giant who completely wrapped himself in a special black armor with only one head exposed, the Gothic prince couldn't help but said.
Wow, you didn't say a word in my last dungeon, you were standing on a high platform like a pretender.
When hearing what His Royal Highness the Prince said, Hoder was actually a little surprised, because when Dietrich took him to get off the dungeon, the prince stood like a standard dungeon NPC and spoke with a calm and indifferent tone. The tone allows the player to play the role of the top five scouts in front to detect (fight the boss).
In the dungeon, the Gothic Prince himself is actually a mechanism of the second boss.
 [Giant Warrior Ike]
This boss has two stages. In the first stage, the defense is extremely high. In the orthodox strategy, you must use weapons such as blunt weapons to wear down his health bar. When it reaches 50%, it will enter the second stage and he will directly break the current state. The eternal fire from the desolate land of fire hanging at the top, after forcibly catching it, the armor on his body will turn into hot burning armor.
The defense is reduced, the water is weak, and the weapons are tested. This dungeon is very unfriendly to the non-blunt weapon chopper team. In order to make up for this problem, the prince will appear on the stage, and he will appear as an NPC to assist in the battle.
"I know him, so leave this to me." Of course, His Highness the Prince didn't know what Hoder was thinking. He just said these words, and then didn't wait for anyone else to say anything more, and just took a step forward. Then walked over.
He actually didn't know that the giant warriors who had met once in Jotunheim and even fought against each other for some reasons would appear here, but he didn't care about it. He was already used to killing decisively and didn't mind doing it here. Kill him!
Then, along with the sound of metal footsteps, Ike finally noticed that someone was approaching. With the light of the eternal flame, he looked in the direction of the footsteps, but he was quickly stunned. .
 "It's you..."
For a moment, the indifference and calmness that appeared on Ike's face was suddenly broken. He just watched the man slowly approach.
Just like what was seen in Jotunheim, he wore an eagle-patterned armor and a ram's horn helmet that was rare among humans.
 This person...
