Valhalla Saga Chapter 33

Chapter 32

Episode 9/Chapter 3: Svartalfheim (3)

TL: Tsubak

ED: Isalee

The regenerator Makus couldn’t believe what had happened to it. Blood flowed endlessly through its fingers. The pain caused by the wound was too unfamiliar.

It was something he wouldn’t forget.

Everyone in this place was inferior ranked warriors. It wasn’t something it had heard, but Makus itself had confirmed it.

It had observed them entering the Mollo family from a far place. And he ascertained it by fighting them.

The runes they had accumulated were all at the inferior ranked level. There were no intermediate ranked warriors here.

But it was certainly the strength of a God. The thing that had ripped open the blessing of the Giant, and the thing that had pressed down the regeneration right.

In addition, the power of a God was unfamiliar to it. It was a strength he hadn’t experienced on the battlefield until now.

It wasn’t only Makus, but Siri also got shocked. However, it was different to Makus’s shock. There was delight in Siri’s shock.

“I’m going.”

Tae Ho said. That sentence cut down everyone’s thoughts. The regenerator Makus flinched, and Siri and the warriors of Valhalla knew what they had to do. They all started to pour down attacks starting from Rolph.

Arrows poured down. It still didn’t work. However, Makus couldn’t ignore them anymore with the leisure it had previously.

It’s eyes focused on Tae Ho. Tae Ho faced that Makus and let out a long breath. He thought while maintaining a calm expression.

‘Fuck.’

It was hard. Maintaining the strength of a God wasn’t an ordinary thing. He thought he knew why Heda had told him not to use it if possible.

He felt like his magic power, stamina and concentration were being drained quickly.

‘Let’s fight wisely.’

Fighting while maintaining the strength of the God was a stupid thing to do. There was a high probability of him collapsing before the monster if he did that.

Tae Ho observed Makus. He remembered the moment Runefang ripped its abdomen.

The strength of the God ripped open the force that was covering it. Idun’s strength pressed down its regenerability.

The moment he would use the power of the God would only be when he attacked. And he would attack differently from how he had done so until now.

“For Idun.”

Tae Ho mumbled in a low voice and then charged. Makus flinched again and then took its hand off his abdomen and raised its sword.

But Tae Ho didn’t enter its range. He believed that there would be an opening sometime.

And Siri replied with his thoughts.

Puk!

The stance of Makus, that was entirely focused on Tae Ho, crumbled. It was the result of Siri slamming herself against it instead of firing her crossbow. The monster could regenerate the wounds and even ignore pain, but it couldn’t do anything about being pushed.

Chwak!

At that moment, Tae Ho cut through its arm. The monster let out a low scream and then fell into shock once again.

It wasn’t simply having been hurt. It didn’t only end at having cut off its sword, but the wound seemed to deepen everytime.

‘It works.’

What Tae Ho was grabbing wasn’t Runefang. It was the Executioner’s sword, that was especially effective towards enemies that could regenerate. It was a magic sword that inflicted a bleeding status and continued damage.

He would only wield the strength of the God the moment he attacked. And just like it did in the game, the special effect of the weapon would activate.

The monster got flustered even more. The pain he had felt for a really long while made it dull.

Tae Ho charged again. The monster raised its sword hurriedly, but it didn’t have the ardor from before. Rather than exerting pressure, it had shrunk down.

The monster was still strong. However, it started to mind Tae Ho’s attacks. It started to defend, and its posture crumbled.

The Executioner’s sword, that was covered in gold light, passed by its body several times. The more blood flowed, the more its movements became dull.

“Kua!”

The monster swung its sword widely while roaring. It was because it had realized that it couldn’t continue like this. He had swung his sword that held unbelievable strength several times.

Tae Ho was calm. He dodged the attacks that had become simple as they were strong. It was the same in the game. You needed to be calmer the grimmer was the situation. You had to observe the attacks of the enemies and counterattack.

Makus’s sword passed over his head. The excessively strong attack broke Makus’s stance and Tae Ho realized that the time had come. He jumped as if entering its grasp.

At that moment, a sharp stab attacked Tae Ho. It was Makus’s tail. It was the secret card it had prepared.

Tae Ho gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Instead of twisting his body to dodge the attack he charged forward.

Makus’s tail stabbed Tae Ho’s shoulder. And at the same time, Tae Ho’s sword stabbed deep in its abdomen.

Curses came out by their own. Tae Ho gulped down Heda’s name and then twisted the Executioner’s sword. And before he let go of his hands he activated the warrior’s sword once more.

Pubuk!

The Executioner’s sword transformed to a heavy metal hammer. As it was inside its body, it broke down before perfectly transforming, but it was enough. The insides of the monster had become a mess.

“Kuhok!”

The monster vomited blood. Tae Ho had let go of the sword and then hit its stomach with his right palm strongly.

The monster got out of breath. It fell back and Tae Ho activated the warrior’s sword with his last strength. He inserted the God’s strength in the Executioner’s sword one more time.

The sword that was swung from a high place cut down its head. Blood flowed endlessly from the deep wound.

Tae Ho plucked down the tail that had stabbed his shoulder. Curses and screams came out at the same time but he endured it by gritting his teeth.

The monster fell on its butt.

And Tae Ho also fell on his butt. He let out a sigh mixed with a groan. At that moment the warriors cheered.

“Tae Ho!”

“Idun’s warrior!”

Starting by Rolph, the warriors came running towards Tae Ho. Some of them stabbed Makus’s corpse as if to ensure that it was dead.

“Uwa! You are amazing! Really amazing!”

Rolph, that was especially excited, hugged Tae Ho. Honestly speaking, it hurt. And if he had to choose, he preferred Siri’s embrace.

However, Siri just smiled towards him. No, in the first place it seemed like she was also exhausted like Tae Ho. She was breathing roughly while sitting down.

“Wa, wait.”

Tae Ho pushed back Rolph. Only then did Rolph get a hold of himself and let go of Tae Ho.

“First, the runes….”

He thought he would fall unconscious any moment.

Tae Ho extended his palm to Makus’s corpse. And then, the familiar runes and runes with attribute he had seen for the first time entered Tae Ho’s palm.

Life attribute rune.

In addition, the amount was large.

“Did you absorb it all?”

Rolph asked again and Tae Ho nodded. And then Rolph embraced him again. The other warriors did the same.

It also hurt this time. Honestly speaking, it was even hard to breathe.

So Tae Ho closed his eyes. As he was tired, it was reasonable for him to feel sleepy.

But he didn’t lose consciousness. Perhaps because he had absorbed life runes or he had yelled Heda’s name instead of Idun in a decisive moment that Idun’s blessing caught Tae Ho’s consciousness.

‘Oh, Idun.’

Tae Ho felt like he could get crushed by Rolph and closed his eyes. He couldn’t sleep, so he was planning to rest even a little bit.

Tae Ho thought of Heda’s face instead of Rolph to calm himself and slowly fell asleep.

&

The Giant that was in the darkness sensed Makus’s death. This situation was also outside the Giant’s expectation.

Just what had happened? How did this happen?

He could guess that later. The Giant thought of the things he had to do right now.

He would stop the excavation that was being realized by the Mollo family. The moment the congress of the dark fairies had asked for help to the warriors of Valhalla because they had woken up a Basilisk while excavating was also a mistake by Mallus. He would also get rid of him.

However, he wasn’t planning to just fall back.

The Basilisks Makus had called before it died became a strength for him.

The Giant closed his eyes and the darkness covered him again.

&

The first that had realized a change was Siri. She stood up from her place and then looked at her surroundings and then bit her lips.

She, who had the senses of a veteran warrior, could feel it. Things that were emanating killing intent were gathering.

Her side was already quite exhausted. It was right to flee instead of fighting them head-on.

However, they didn’t have the white silences anymore. Getting outside of their reach like they had done until now was impossible.

“Siri?”

One of the warriors called Siri. It was because he had also noticed the same thing as Siri.

Siri looked at the corpses of the warriors. It was unfortunate but now wasn’t the time to retrieve their corpses.

“Garm is still alive!”

The warrior that was treating the warrior that had received the first javelin attack yelled in joy. Siri was also happy, but she didn’t refute the fact that he was a load.

What could she do?

Siri closed her eyes. She felt the enemies closing the distance even know and made a quick decision.

“We are scattering.”

The first thing they had to do was to regroup with Gandur. But it didn’t mean that all of them had to do that.

The warriors showed rejection at first but no one opposed it. It was because they also knew that that was the best course.

Siri divided the groups. The remaining warriors would flee in three groups.

“Let’s meet in Valhalla again.”

“Those are correct words, but it’s somewhat ominous.”

Because if they were in the mortal world it meant for them to meet again after they died.

The warriors laughed in a low voice. Siri put on a smile mixed with a sigh and said again.

“For Asgard and the nine planets.”

“For Asgard and the nine planets.”

The warriors didn’t turn to look at each other anymore. They started to run with all their might.

And how much time had passed.

Tae Ho opened his eyes. What he was expecting was the bedroom he could see the ceiling of, but weirdly enough, what entered his eyes was still a forest.

Tae Ho blinked in a half-awake state and then woke up completely. He was lying down a bulky and big root and Siri was next to him. It seemed like it had really become night as it was darker than the afternoon. He could see Siri’s white skin.

“Captain Siri?”

Siri turned to look at him. She was putting an exhausted expression but then placed a finger on her lip and started to explain the situation after silencing Tae Ho.

Basilisks had gathered not long after he had defeated the regenerator. Siri’s group had come to hunt the Basilisks but the situation was bad. In addition, they hadn’t expected for the Basilisks to come in a group.

In the end, they chose to scatter and flee to increase the survival rates, and Siri got in charge of the exhausted Tae Ho.

She activated the stealth blessing in the middle of fleeing because she had gotten cornered, but it was a matter of time for them to get discovered.

“Why didn’t you wake me?”

Then he wouldn’t have been a luggage.

Siri answered with warm eyes at Tae Ho’s question.

“I tried everything but you didn’t wake up.”

Perhaps, it may be an aftereffect of activating the strength of the God excessively.

Tae Ho just raised his body instead of asking what she had tried. As he concentrated he could hear leaves grazing near them.

Just like Siri had said, they were really cornered. In addition, it seemed like the sound was becoming closer. If they were closing the range, then getting discovered was really a matter of time.

What to do now. Would they hide until they were discovered and then fight?

He couldn’t think of anything in particular. He had the hawk’s wing clothes, but it was impossible to fly properly in this place that was filled with a branch ceiling.

Tae Ho gulped dry saliva and then looked at Siri. Siri answered with a low voice in his eyes asking if she had a method.

“Now that you woke up, the choices have increased by one.”

Siri spoke up to there and then stood up after letting out a breath. She loosened up her cape and then also started to take off her armor.

“Captain Siri?”

Tae Ho opened his eyes widely while looking at Siri that had become naked and Siri said in a bitter voice.

“I’m not a Valkyrie, but take good care of me.”

[Saga: Wolf witch]

White smoke instantly covered Siri, and a wolf with golden fur appeared in front of Tae Ho.
