Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: The Serpent at the End of the World

*Shown to a group of more than 10 people in a cabin*

Slangemorder: We have to go out now, we have been without food for a long time

Viking 1: Yes, if we don't do something today, it will be impossible to keep the group

*Slangemorder hits the Viking's chest lightly*

Slangemorder: Believe me, we'll keep these people at all costs. We will not allow anyone to harm them. They are the future of humanity

Viking 1: Captain...

Slangemorder: We'll go get some food, wait for us here

Dan: Captain, I'll go with you

Slangemorder: Impossible. Outside it's very dangerous, you're just a child

Dan: Captain, I'm 15 years old, if the world was fine, I should already be on my first mission

Slangemorder: Exactly, but the world is in chaos, right now it's dangerous to go

Dan: I promise not to get in the way, if I do anything that delays the mission, they can force me to stay here forever

Viking 2: Come on captain, give the kid a chance

Slangemorder: *Sighs* Okay, let's go

Dan: Take it now!

Slangemorder: The Three of You Stay Here and Protect Others

Vikings: Yes captain

*A group of more than 10 Vikings go out into the snow*

*The whole group is shown to be very covered, but suffering from the cold*

Slangemorder: It's impossible to resist this cold

Viking 1: Yes... It is the first time in more than 50 years that I suffer in this way with the cold, and it is always very dark

Slangemorder: Yes... I don't even know what day it's now; it seems as if it's been several months since I last saw the sun

Viking: Yes...

Slangemorder: We're there...

*The entire sea is covered in ice and hundreds of ships trapped in the ice are shown*

*Slangemorder hits the ice*

Slangemorder: *Thinks* Good thing, it looks like there's still water down there, so there's still a chance there's food

Viking 2: Captain Has Got To See This

Slangemorder: What's going on?

*Slangemorder enters a ship and finds a Viking completely petrified in ice*

Slangemorder: So, this is what happened to the vast majority...

Viking 2: I don't think he suffered; it seems that his death was quick

Slangemorder: *Think* I still wonder how it was possible for me to survive...

Viking 3: Captain there doesn't seem to be any reservations on the ship

Slangemorder: So, they were back

Viking 3: Yes, it looks like they came looking for reservations

Slangemorder: How did we fare with the other ships?

Viking 1: We Haven't Been Lucky Captain

Slangemorder: Damn

*The whole place starts shaking*

Slangemorder: What? Everyone gets on the boats now!

*The whole earth begins to shake more and more*

Slangemorder: Damn it, now what's going on?

*Jörmungander's red eye is shown opening*

Dan: Captain

Slangemorder: What's going on?

Dan: Look *Points to the ice*

*Hundreds of lifeless marine animals are shown colliding with the ice*

Slangemorder: What then?

*A sea beast is approaching the surface at high speed*

*Jörmungander leaves at high speed, breaking the ice and taking the boat where one of the groups was*

*Slangemorder's shocked face is shown before the gigantic serpent*

*Jörmungander makes a big scream that makes everyone tremble*

Viking 1: What the hell is that?

Slangemorder: That's... the serpent at the end of the world, Jörmungander

Viking 1: Jörmungander? The serpent of legends? Wasn't it just a children's story?

Slangemorder: If it were like that, we wouldn't have it in front of us

Viking 1: Damn, this situation is very dangerous

Slangemorder: *Think* The ice won't last long, if we all run away at once, it will most likely break and we will die in the attempt

Slangemorder: I'm sorry for what I'm going to ask of you guys, but could you fight one last time by my side?

Viking 1: Si Captain

Slangemorder: Dan, you go back to base, we'll take care of this

Dan: No, a true Viking wouldn't run away in the face of danger

Slangemorder: You're not a Viking! You're just a kid...

Viking 2: Dan, listen to the captain. That's what a real Viking would do

Dan: yes...

*One of the Vikings gets off the boat and starts running*

Viking 4: It's impossible, we can't fight that beast, it's suicide

Viking: Idiot!

Viking 5: Come on, we have to flee

Viking 6: Yes...

Viking 2: Idiots

Slangemorder: Leave them, they just want to protect their families, I don't judge them

Viking 2: Captain...

*Jörmungander fixes his gaze on the Vikings who are running*

*The ice begins to break more and more*

*Jörmungander starts smiling*

Slangemorder: *Shocked* What do you want?

*The ice breaks and the Vikings fall one by one into the water*

*The Vikings begin to scream from the immense pain*

Viking 1: What the hell is going on?

*Vikings are shown being melted by snake venom*

*Vikings vomit out the horrific scene before*

*Slangemorder begins to put on his armor and draws his sword*

Slangemorder: *With a serious look* It seems that our battle will be legendary, serpent of the end of the world

*Jörmungander smiles at the Viking's words*

*The rest of the Vikings are overwhelmed by the terrible situation*

Viking 1: *Think* What is it that keeps you on your feet, captain?
