I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 237
Valhalla (3)
almost simultaneously.
Front and back. Sharp spears stabbing fiercely.
can not avoid. No one could withstand the combination of this formation.
Even if they are descendants of great giants.
‘what? ‘It got faster?’
Instant change. The female warrior who was attacking from behind captured the enemy’s unusual energy, but it was too late to retreat.
Hoecheon Ishik (廻天二式)──
A counter attack that creates empty space behind the back and counterattacks. The spear, accelerated by the snap of the wrist in place, rotates violently.
──Returning Demon Spear.
“town?!”
Without even looking back, the spinning spear strikes the other spear.
‘heavy!’
How can a spear rotated in an unstable position be this heavy? Geirabeur could barely control his numb hands.
‘But not yet.’
Although Geirabeur’s strike from behind was deflected, what was important was the strike from the front. Her fierce spear flashes and pierces Corin.
It was supposed to be like that.
“what…?”
A perplexed voice comes out from her.
A perfect blow that was intended to penetrate precisely into the abdomen. That sharp spear is now at rest.
‘With bare hands?’
Corin caught the spear just before it penetrated Corin’s body.
Hold the blade. Or something like that. Next, in a move that can be considered an art, he pulls the Valkyrie holding the spear towards me with incredible strength.
“Huh?!”
Knee hitting Römul’s abdomen. A spear digs into her side just before the merciless blow hits her as she vomits blood from shock.
“Hey!”
Corinne slyly avoids it and leaves the place. This is because there was no thought of additional attacks from the beginning.
‘I’m good at reading numbers!’
‘It’s a sense developed in practice.’
Valkyries rush at each other while admiring the skill of their opponents. Carve Kenaz’s rune into the silver spear and transform it into a fire spear.
Swing almost simultaneously. Flames rained down on them.
Rune. Unlike other magic that combines spells and techniques, this magic system that functions as letters works faster than any other magic.
The downside is the lack of firepower due to the short process system. At best, even if you overlap with beginner magic or increase it to a sentence, intermediate magic is the limit.
-Quaaaa!
The pouring flames clearly exceeded the firepower of beginner magic. The grace he gained as a sub player. The firepower doubled by [Rune Amplification] is enough to surprise even rune masters.
『 ᛇ 』 ── Awaz Olun
’s defense rune blocks this. If it were an ordinary rune-to-rune match, Corin would definitely have the upper hand, but that also depends on the opponent.
“Compared to the spear, the rune is clumsy. The ends of the strokes are distorted.”
The rune’s flame, which has been converted to intermediate magic, is blocked by the rune of defense.
The difference between a skilled rune caster and a simpleton. Even for the same rune, the level of completion is different.
“I practiced hard for two years.”
There is a clear difference in the level of completeness of the runes. The only rune magician of this level is his teacher Erin. Moreover──
-Kakakwaek!
Six spears are thrown out simultaneously. It instantly dominates the space, blocks the retreat route, and breaks through all counterattacks.
A perfect formation that links accumulated experience points as if they were one body.
‘Still strong.’
The Chang’s Sisters, made up of 7 members.
Those who stand at the forefront of the battlefield.
Their strength shines in groups.
Valkyries are born warriors.
The history of Norse mythological warfare itself, which broke through and overcame countless battlefields.
Their perfect coordination can hunt even giants.
────!!
………
……
…
Attacks continue one after another. The Chang sisters were literally putting pressure on Corrin non-stop.
However, as the battle continues and his wounds increase, it is not he who is embarrassed, but the Valkyries.
“You blocked it this time too?”
“It was a passing period that could never be avoided….”
-Click! Karang!
Spear and spear are intertwined, advancing and retreating repeatedly.
It’s not a matter of whether this man is strong or fast.
Skilled.
If there is a gap in the connection between the stream of consciousness… I am used to sneaking in and poking through the gap.
To think that there was a spearman other than Tates Balthazar who could wield a spear to this degree.
“It hurts…”
He moves forward while cutting his left arm. The next moment, what was swung was 3,000 pieces of Naegigong’s Bagua, which were faster than a spear.
“Huh…!”
A series of hits to vital points. Rather than relying solely on the spear, he has no hesitation in using his entire body as a weapon. Even if you get hurt yourself.
-What a mess!
And even barely scratched wounds regenerate quickly.
‘strong.’
‘Simplely strong, but also good at minor tricks.’
‘You have to do your best to win.’
The sisters have a common opinion. They stopped attacking and stood in one place.
“Our battlefield maidens.”
“I have found the soul of a warrior.”
“For the soul I will offer to the Lord.”
“For Vanadis.”
“I manifest the rightly given battlefield power.”
Ex-maids are slowly emerging. A brilliant light shines through their halo in the desolate Valhalla.
A sight that would bring any northern warrior to tears. Corin Locke is just visibly embarrassed.
“also…?”
I’ve encountered that technology before. The Valkyries’ deadly technique was only revealed against players in a very small number of original works.
This technique, which is manifested on the soul of a great hero they have discovered and recognized by them… its power doubles as the stronger the hero trying to cut off its head.
“The key is to use at least one invincible weapon to last one turn, but…”
Previous episode. I fell victim to that technique. If it weren’t for the demon next to me, I would have definitely gotten hit.
I am now stronger than before. But can he really overcome this doubled power?
“It’s not something you can do, it’s something you have to do.”
Should I risk my life?
Take a big step back.
It forms a danger zone where everything is poured out in an instant, rather than between swinging and stabbing each other with spears.
At the same time, the heart of Corin Locke. The core of a great hero awakens.
────!!
“”…….””
The Valkyries’ spines are burning.
It’s not about fear. It’s joy. Even
after witnessing this much brilliance and
encountering this much power.
The man’s fighting spirit was not disturbed at all.
How could I not be happy?
How could it not be lovely?
They are the ones who love warriors as they roam the battlefield.
In the end, the former maidens cut off the head of the dying warrior and guided his soul to Valhalla.
Therefore, the stronger the warrior who willingly risks his life and takes up arms, the more welcome it is.
“Come…! Come, brave warrior!”
I hear the window. The sparkling silver spear had the energy of spinning sharply as if it were already piercing the hard rock.
The glow of the concentrated Valkyries.
The light that gathers around the tip of the spear is like a grace sent down from the sky.
At the same time, Corin’s spear moves.
A life-threatening blow in which neither party had an escape route.
A powerful flash of light collided with the crackling blow of a spear that split space.
* * * *
The Holy Expeditionary Force was divided into two units.
The first is the first unit departing from the Holy Land led by Estelle.
They pretended to march north and then returned straight to Jeruem.
They eradicated humanity’s traitors and took complete control of the West.
And the second unit is the main force advancing from the royal capital.
In this unit, there was a member of the royal family who went directly to his father’s house, none other than Miriam Elisabeth el Ras. She was the second princess of the kingdom.
She brought with her an army of tens of thousands of soldiers and legions of knights and wizards. Its power is comparable to that of northerners numbering up to 150,000.
Miriam, who came with a powerful army, looked around the walled city and held the tip of his nose.
“Smells undignified. Sir Corin also did something drastic.”
She frowned as she saw the barbarians filling the walled city. Their barbaric appearance may be unpleasant for the noble princess.
But showing it off in front of them is a different matter.
“I am Miriam Elisabeth el Ras, the second princess of the kingdom. You are one of the great chieftains, right?”
“Hmm… Are you the princess of the South?”
“The northern warriors are all renowned for their bravery. Are there any inconveniences while staying in the city?”
“That’s enough. Corin Locke took care of everything. I am grateful for the kingdom’s support.”
She treated northerners very kindly.
It is a large army of 150,000 people. It was chilling to think that this army would have broken down the wall and invaded the kingdom.
Corrin lightly cajoled such potential enemies. In that case, he had an obligation to maintain this temporary alliance a little longer.
“So Lord Corrin… is missing?”
A military meeting held after inspecting the walled city. As if it was natural, the princess sat at the head table and received a report on the situation of the war.
When Hwaran was bitten by a wolf, he chased after it and fell into the Valkyries’ trap. In summary, that’s about it.
Moreover, the space he is missing is called Valhalla, a place where the northern demigods accumulate their armies.
“It’s seven days old.”
Miriam clicked her tongue at Corin, who had fallen into the enemy’s trap.
That stupid human. When it comes to saving people, you do it without thinking about what happens next.
Even though he fully understands how dangerous it puts him, he commits it without hesitation.
Because he is that kind of person, he must have stood against the military alone.
Because he’s such a stupid person.
“So. How to rescue them?”
“We have identified the location of the Valkyries. They are gathered around the frost giant.”
Josephine, who had been secretly observing this using space magic, testified. Although he was discovered by a frost giant, he was able to escape in the nick of time.
“There were only a dozen Valkyries around.”
Brünnhild received Josephine’s information.
“Then I think the rest are inside the door. Professor Josephine, can you tell me their characteristics?”
Josephine began reciting the characteristics of the Valkyries around the Frost Giant one by one.
“Then… I think the sister who opened the door is probably Blacksmith Holrouk. She is the Valkyrie who preserved the most Einherjar in the Apocalypse War.”
“That door. Can you conveniently summon soldiers? What are the numbers?”
“If you add up all the sisters here, it would be a little over 10,000.”
“Then it’s simple. Professor Josephine leaps through space, teleports you all, opens the doors and attacks. It’s convenient to be able to rush in an army of 10,000 at once.”
“…….”
“…….”
The Valkyries frowned at Miriam’s suggestion. Some Valkyries strongly opposed it.
“They are the souls of warriors who have been guided by us since time immemorial. Are you asking us to sacrifice them for just one person?”
This was the reason why the Valkyries were divided into two and went under Balthazar.
In the Apocalypse War, most of the Einherjar died after a glorious fight.
But what about the remaining soldiers? They have lost their god and become rotten dead, wandering around Valhalla.
The Valkyries could not stand to see the souls of the warriors whom they had personally guided rot and crumble.
They searched for substitutes for meat and mead that would sustain their fire. The alternative is Tates Balthazar’s New Age.
We must protect the soul of the warriors.
In this era when the gods have fallen and there is no longer any glory to protect, the value of their existence was the preservation of warriors.
It’s no wonder they are obsessed with the ‘door’ I guard.
“Fuhu…!”
Miriam laughed at this mercilessly.
“What’s funny?”
“No, it’s funny that you’re obsessed with things that are already dead.”
“…Are you insulting us?”
“No, but it’s comparable. That man wouldn’t have hesitated. He’s a brat who would risk his own life to save others.”
The Valkyries get angry at Miriam’s ridicule, saying, “You don’t seem to be that kind of brats.”
“You…”
“I will help.”
“Brünnhild?”
The Valkyries look perplexed at the leader’s dissuasion.
“Korin told me this when he accepted the free people.”
“The best thing is to have fewer people die. “Because human life is the most expensive.”
“Einherjar… is our glorious memory, but we cannot give priority to those who are already dead over those who are alive.”
This was not something that could be achieved simply by being a player. It is not because he is a hero, a warrior, or an outstanding warrior.
“He is a warrior who will save the world. If you sacrifice yourself for him, even the great spirits of the Einherjar will gladly burn their souls.”
Corin Locke.
It is the sum total of everything he has accumulated so far.
Seeing this, Miram chuckles. I wonder if that man is still the same in the battlefield.
“But our opponents are frost giants. There are also resurrected giants and valkyries around us. It’s hard to buy time on our own.”
“I can’t help it.”
“Is there another way?”
“You have to risk your life.”
The corners of Miriam’s mouth twitched. The girls sigh when they see that smile.
”The competition has increased again.”
* * * *
The main base where the frost giants are located. Utgart Loki already knows what his opponent will do.
An ancient being that ruled the world even before gods existed on this earth.
He is a wise man.
Neither the God of Thunder nor the God of Mischief could overcome him.
It is possible to predict the limits of the wisdom that humans have developed.
“come. “Be prepared.”
His voice resonates throughout the world. The Valkyries who were resting were horrified to hear the words of their archenemy, the Frost Giant, but they calmly raised their swords and spears.
The giants who were throwing stones at the wall stop throwing stones, and the wolves of the apocalypse growl.
Preparation is perfect.
This place is the center of myth.
Even though each side knows each other’s moves, it is inevitable that a major battle will take place here.
────!!
The next moment, the space they were in began to open.
Josephine Clara’s special magic. Multi-space movement. A huge rock falls from there.
The radius is actually 500m. It is the largest stone block that Josephine Clara has accumulated.
[Skrymir (something so huge)]
A soaring bust of a giant. A bust blocks a rock that falls vertically. Two huge things collide and debris rains down. Twenty Valkyries fall.
The main female warriors, including Brunhild. They are the shield maidens, the long-time enemies of the giants.
“For the glory of the battlefield!!”
The door opens. An army of glory poured out from about 20 doors that opened in an instant.
Einherjar started pouring in all at once.
“…Einherjar have to fight each other.”
“That’s sad.”
The Valkyries standing on the other side of Brünnhild. They accepted Balthazar’s offer and opened their Einherjar with the giants.
Suddenly, more than 10,000 troops confronted the snowy mountain where there was nothing.
“Einherjar. “Is this all that’s left?”
The great warriors who defeated their brothers. As the Frost Giants watched Marlow, who was left with nothing but bones, they realized their downfall once again.
“But is this all? No. There will be more.”
True to his wish, the frost giant’s eyes were momentarily blank at the ‘energy’ felt from the hole.
Nostalgic energy.
A nemesis of a very old giant. They have fallen and are no longer left in the world.
That glorious era that now remains only a memory.
They were called gods.
“Yes, that should be enough. It will be the arrogant gardener of the world who can stand against this Utgart Loki.”
However, his wishes were meaningless.
-Shaaaaa…!
The thing falling from the hole was a snake.
So huge.
Infinite Serpent Jormungand.
It bit the back of the frost giant’s neck.
