Valhalla (2)

To avoid the Einherjars, he hid in the hollow of a rotten tree.

Unlike the ominous sound that echoes around, the inside of this tree is once again quiet.

“How do you feel?”

“It’s much better.”

“The only thing to eat is beef jerky. Eat some of this.”

“······thank you.”

Ran collected herself and took the beef jerky I gave her. I am worried about the future as water and food are limited.

Because food and water do not exist in this world.

“lol······.”

“Why are you smiling?”

“It feels like that time.”

“at that time?”

“That was when my brother took Hwa and hid from Uncle Gangryun.”

“Oh~”

It’s already been a year and half a year ago. At that time, I took the fire from Kangryun and hid in the rainy forest.

“Hi-Hi···.”

“What’s so good about it?”

In response to my question, Ran weakly leaned on my shoulder and confessed.

“Actually… I was jealous of him at the time. I also wanted my brother to give me food and hug me when I was having a hard time.”

“I’m really jealous of everything.”

“My brother told me that when things are difficult, I just help. Even if I don’t have anything to hope for or even if it’s not for any particular benefit… I just help. I like that kind of brother.”

Ran is sweating and smiling brightly. I wiped the sweat from her forehead and stroked her head.

“Hmm… Oppa? Now that I think about it, there’s something I want to do.”

“What?”

“I want to be naked and hug each other like in a novel. To maintain body temperature.”

Even at times like these, he seduces me in a despicable way.

“Uh-huh, use it! That’s not it.”

bean! Ran looks dissatisfied as he rubs his forehead.

“You said the same thing to Hwa…”

“I did it for fun, for fun.”

“Chii… Then I can’t help it. Well, it’s my experience where I can’t even get angry.”

“Do you have to love each other equally?”

Suddenly, I remembered what Ran said. Even in places like this, Ran seems to pursue equal love with her sisters.

“sorry.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

“It’s just that. Unlike me, I don’t think I can be of any help to my brother.”

“it is not so.”

Unlike Hwa, Ran has no talent in combat. The only thing that can take advantage of her phlegm is anger.

Unlike Hwa, who was born as a demon with the characteristics of a demonic body, Ran is an ordinary girl.

“Didn’t I tell you then too?”

“I will help you. “I’ll carry you on your back and feed you until your broken leg heals.”

“It’s no different now. When times are difficult, just help. There’s no need to feel guilty about not being able to help.”

“That’s right. It’s a matter of pride.”

“If you’re really sorry… please pray for victory. For everyone. That’s the only thing that gives me strength.”

“Oppa… do you know that you really have a loss-making personality?”

“What can I do? This is what he was born with.”

“That’s right. Because you always suffer losses like that…”

Ran unexpectedly kissed me as I shrugged.

“brother.”

“uh···?”

“If I return safely this time…”

Ran puts her face to my ear and whispers in a tickling voice as I pause in the sudden kiss.

“I’ll do it again next time.”

He is grinning with a grumpy expression.

“I love you so much, our brother Corin.”

I need it… I need it.

* * * *

I’m holding on.

Even though countless rocks are thrown at it every day and an endless army of demons pours in, it endures in the end.

Frost giant.

He has closely observed this land for a very long time.

Sometimes he was mistaken for a mysterious pillar towering over the continent, looking down from the clouds, sometimes in the form of a smaller giant, sometimes disguised as someone who was better at eating than anyone else, and sometimes as someone who was faster than anyone else.

I have observed this world.

“That’s great.”

The preparedness of humans is extraordinary. Indeed, their preparation was so solid that they had to come early.

‘Is it that boy?’

I think I know the cause. That man… the existence that Tates Balthazar had been waiting for.

There is no way the last frost giant of this era would not know the value of his adversary, which he declared himself.

‘It’s a strange thing.’

He hates humans.

The age of myth. For the Frost Giants, who fought against the gods, the golden age of humanity that opened after the fall of the gods was very unpleasant and worthless.

Even though the gods have been driven out, there is still no progress.

To the giants who remembered the Age of God, today’s humans were like children who took toys away from their parents and quickly broke them down.

At the same time, they create and serve fake gods that do not exist. I believe there will be a better life for them after death.

However, such paradise does not exist. At least they got rid of it.

Think of the Einherjar who annihilated his brothers.

A paradise that was endlessly maintained in the glory of the gods.

This is what happens because the cycle is completely rejected. Yet, we long for and pray for the same truth.

‘However, this era will end soon. A new era opens.’

He sat down and let out a deep voice. At his feet are female warriors who have joined hands with the Frost Giants, whom he hates even after betraying their own sisters.

The frost giant Loki of Utgart once told the female warriors of the main god he had killed.

“Test him. Guess whether he is the one who will open a new era or whether he is the man’s opponent.”

A loud voice makes the earth tremble. Just encountering that voice is enough to make the surrounding monsters feel oppressed and suffocated with fear.

However, the female warriors of the main god stood up without any hesitation.

“Do not give orders, frost giant.”

“Testing a warrior is a Valkyrie’s job. Even if you don’t tell me, I will gladly comply.”

Sisters with Spears. One who shouts war cries. A person who trains the weapons of the gods.

They have already chosen a side.

* * * *

Running through barren, dry land.

I can’t see anyone behind me yet.

What you can hear is the wailing of corpses.

The dead, those who have dried up even after death, chase after them.

-Click, clap, clap!

A discordant sound made by only the bones remaining. They come together at the same time, but it feels like they are being chased by a being called death.

The common prejudice that the dead hate the living no longer seems to be a prejudice.

“brother···.”

“If it’s bothering you, tell me. I’ll fix it.”

“······yes.”

Ran is out of breath as if this wave is too much for her weakened body.

“Is it Einherjar? I heard things in this town are good at using corpses.”

“······i know?”

“I’ve been in a few fights.”

Not just a few times. There have been many fights.

These are residual diseases.

At the end of the gods, an army of warriors was summoned by the Valkyries through the gate.

Deadman Warriors fought against frost giants and fire giants and hunted down most of them.

-Gaoooooo…!

Horned helmeted soldiers running ahead. As if they had been waiting, they dug a trap and threw an ax.

“It’s fast too!”

They devise strategies and put pressure on their opponents using just their voices in a deafening voice. The experience of seasoned warriors still drives them.

-Whisk!

Narrowly avoid an ax passing by. It flies straight in without slowing down and blows off the cervical vertebrae.

Kwasik! An undead warrior who flies away. This is what the skeleton system without muscles, which is the basis of strength, ultimately looks like.

“That’s it!”

An ax beast charging forward with a circular shield in hand. The flesh is rotten, but the armament is still intact and intact.

There is no time. Break through head on. A polymerization device that explodes the heart, energy, and body at once. How can a single Skeleton Warrior withstand the pressure of my spear…

-Kang!

I stand in the way. A bluish energy rises from the shield blocking the spear.

“Daejeonsa···!”

Einherjar, a knight-level warrior. Even if his muscles rotted, he did not lose his aura.

“Kaaa…!”

A great warrior blocks my spear and strikes with his axe. It was a turning blow, but the low kick struck the next moment broke the guy’s shin bone.

“Kick?!”

“Even if you’re a knight, you can’t stand against a real knight without a body.”

In the end, strength comes from muscles. Don’t think that you can beat a real person just because you’ve strengthened them with auras.

The shank that was struck was crushed and the spear blade that had spun the collapsing Einherjar into a whirlwind broke.

“Kyaaa…!”

“Kiyaaa!!”

Perhaps the Einherjar they just defeated was the leader, and the Einherjars under his command were screaming. He raised his spear towards them and moved his finger.

Runes carved into the air. The power that symbolizes the sun swirls.

“You guys originally created the runes… but they all mixed together, so let’s not talk about the originals.”

『 ᛊ 』 ─ Sowilo. Rune of the Sun.

For the original Einherjar, what would be nothing more than a slightly warm light acts as a deadly poison to them.

“······Are you done?”

“No, this is just the beginning.”

It was only 6 seconds that my ankle was caught. Meanwhile, the Einherjar gathered.

many.

At this rate, there are already at least a thousand Einherjar at this gate.

‘The Valkyrie who preserved the soldiers to this extent is probably Holrouk.’

A female warrior who makes and blesses the Valkyries’ weapons. Among the Valkyries that were consumed by the Flame Giants and Frost Giants, this Valkyrie is one of the few that has survived with an army of 1,000 units.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Holök’s Einherjar were especially well-armed. ‘She is the most suitable Valkyrie for the Einherjar who have now become undead.’

The good news is that Holök himself will not be here. The Valkyrie who opened the door had to exist in this world.

“I’m surrounded…”

“I know. Hold on tight.”

Break through. There is no end to the battle. Instantly expand the distance and break through.

‘I can’t write sura. Ran won’t be able to withstand the explosion of energy.’

If so, there is one way. It is a method learned from the enemy.

『 ᚱ 』 ── Raido.

Permak Daman. I imitate this guy’s favorite method and carve the rune of acceleration on both legs.

-Boom!

The next moment, our bodies rose into the air with a loud noise.

-Quaaa!

The air flew in, breaking the bare branches of the forest. There, you face an extremely desolate world.

“Whoa…!”

Not yet. One more set of acceleration runes was engraved. Jump one more time here.

“Accelerate once more!”

I hug Ran, who is burying her face in my arms, and use the silver spear as a foothold in the air. As long as there is a foothold, I still have one acceleration left.

-Qua!

Stepping on the pole of the silver spear and accelerating in the air once again. The thrown spear falls into the forest, but don’t worry. The rune of return engraved on the silver spear has returned to me.

It falls in a parabolic curve due to gravity. The moment I landed, the silver spear was once again in my hand.

“Whew… I guess we’ve widened the distance a bit. We need to rest for a while──”

“brother!”

At the sound of Ran’s sharp voice, I instinctively raise my spear. Almost at the same time, I was able to block the spear tip that was rushing towards my forehead.

‘Golden spear?’

I know this window. And the barrage of spears did not end there.

──!

A continuous attack of spears cutting through the air. It dodges, dodges, and sometimes gets cut to protect Ran, rolling ungainly on the floor.

“Whoa…!”

All fatal injuries were avoided. But this is just a greeting. I feel a light touch.

“He’s quick. A man with a spear.”

A burning red-haired beauty. Six female warriors follow him.

Spear Valkyries led by Skögul. These are the vanguards who break the enemy’s spirit at the forefront of the battlefield.

“Put down your woman and raise your spear, warrior.”

“Be kind too.”

Gently place the egg down. Put aside the possibility of being taken hostage. They are the ones who would rather cut their own heads than do something like that.

“Seven Valkyries. Are you okay? Don’t think of me as a woman.”

“Passion is good. But a man with too much bravado is unsightly.”

Shield female warriors holding spears form a formation. I also raised my silver spear and faced them.

‘I don’t know the odds of winning.’

There is no sun, which is the power of conversation. In this many-to-one battle, the only thing I can trust is a spear.

“Well, when hasn’t it been like that?”

It spurs the ground and pierces right into their core.

Geir Skögul. The vanguard of the battlefield. The strongest of the Spear sisters.

Remove the large intestine at once. That has the highest chance of winning.

Six choirs,

Five evil spirits (狡蛇奧義)

A strike from a sinuous spear is as deadly as a snake. that······.

“You underestimated me!”

Geir Skögul strikes the tip of a silver spear with his spear and bounces it away. As expected, the response is good.

When the first attack fails, the golden spear on the left approaches. Gay scam. Her spear boasts the fiercest thrust of any of the sisters.

“nice···!”

A spear grazing the jawline. He tried to cut off his head with the rotating spear in his backwards position, but the spear, entangled like a magnet, blocked it.

“Where!”

Geirönul. They meticulously close the gaps between their sisters.

“after···!”

With your head tilted back, you retreat as if you were taking a step backwards.

The Chang sisters chase after them as if it were natural. It’s only a matter of time before you get caught. But even as I retreat, my spear is busy scraping the ground.

『 』 ─ Kenaz.

A rune of fire that lasts only a moment, has the smallest strokes, yet has great power. It soared towards the chasing Valkyries, but──

『 ᛇ 』 ── Awaz

The runes engraved in the air prevent this.

Olun. A Valkyrie who masters runes. The runes I engraved are canceled out in an instant.

“The back is empty.”

As I was retreating, I touched something and stopped. The feeling of cold metal. Is this a shield… Geirabeur!

“brother···!”

A voice close to Ran’s scream. There were windows coming from front and back.

Creative Valkyries.

In the previous episode, I fought with them.

-Quaak!

I didn’t win in the end.

That’s an old story.
