Knight Of Valhalla

Another Side

Jin Tae Kyung stepped confidently amidst the chaotic battlefield. His sword gleamed under the scorching sun, ready to conquer every enemy that crossed his path. The onslaught of monsters and evil creatures couldn't stop him. He was a tough and brave warrior.

In the midst of the fierce battle, Jin Tae Kyung swiftly and forcefully decapitated the monster attacking him. The monster's blood splattered in all directions, but there was no trace of fear on his face.

Despite feeling the pain from his wounds, he stood tall, using his sword as a support, displaying his strength and resilience.

His success caught the attention of the soldiers around him, who praised and cheered for his heroic actions.

"Amazing, Jin Tae Kyung!" exclaimed a soldier in awe.

"You truly are an unbeatable warrior!"

Jin Tae Kyung smiled modestly, looking around at his comrades.

"Thank you, friends. I couldn't have done it without all of your help," he replied, gazing at each face radiating the spirit of war.

However, moments after the victory, the excitement of the fallen gnoll began to fade, and the soldiers erupted with joyous cheers. Jin Tae Kyung felt his adrenaline rise and unconsciously raised his sword high while roaring with enthusiasm.

"We have defeated them! We are the greatest warriors on this battlefield!"

Yet, a miracle occurred as red smoke started to emanate from the lifeless gnoll's body, being absorbed by Jin Tae Kyung. As the smoke's energy seeped into him, he felt something different. His body began to emit a fierce aura, and extraordinary strength surged through every fiber of his muscles.

The soldiers were astonished by the transformation happening to Jin Tae Kyung. They witnessed that incredible power with their own eyes.

"It can't be!" exclaimed one soldier in astonishment.

"Jin Tae Kyung has acquired a new power!"

Jin Tae Kyung himself was surprised by the change he was undergoing.

"This doesn't make sense," he murmured in wonder.

"What is happening to me?"

A voice echoed within him. "Jin Tae Kyung, you are the chosen one. The long-dormant rune within you has awakened. Your power has been activated."

Jin Tae Kyung gazed at his shining sword in his right hand. He realized that the sword was the source of his newfound strength. With unwavering confidence, he addressed the still-stunned soldiers.

Jin Tae Kyung stood tall in the midst of a battlefield strewn with the lifeless bodies of slain gnolls. The surviving soldiers looked at him with respect, seeing him as an extraordinary figure. They knew that Jin Tae Kyung was a strong and courageous leader who could guide them through this battle.

After taking a deep breath, one of the soldiers stepped forward, speaking with enthusiasm. "Jin Tae Kyung, the enemy is still coming. They won't stop attacking. What should we do now?" he said, his eyes burning with determination.

Jin Tae Kyung surveyed his surroundings, seeing the spirited and hopeful soldiers. He realized that this was a crucial moment, where he had to stand as their leader. In his heart, he felt a heavy sense of responsibility.

He tightly gripped his weapon, feeling the powerful energy emanating from its runes. The investment he had made in those runes provided significant additional strength. His sword gleamed, appearing sharper and more captivating.

With a piercing gaze, Jin Tae Kyung spoke in a thunderous voice, "Comrades, we must not give up! The enemy may come in greater numbers, but we will fight them with our courage and strength! Prepare yourselves, we will attack!"

The soldiers raised their weapons, eager to follow Jin Tae Kyung's command. They knew that they had a leader who was not only strong but also wise.

With firm steps, Jin Tae Kyung led their assault. With each stride, he felt his power grow. His sword moved swiftly, cutting down the gnolls with remarkable precision. Every strike he delivered left no gnoll standing.

As the battle raged on, conversations echoed among the soldiers. "Look at Jin Tae Kyung, he's like a war god who descended upon this field!" exclaimed one soldier in awe.

"Believe in him! With him leading us, we can surely defeat these enemies!" another replied with genuine conviction.

As attack after attack was unleashed, the gnolls fell one by one at the hands of Jin Tae Kyung and his tireless troops. They fought together, protecting one another and relying on Jin Tae Kyung's strong leadership.

Finally, as the battlefield cleared of enemies, the soldiers surrounded Jin Tae Kyung, cheering jubilantly. They celebrated their victory, which was indebted to Jin Tae Kyung's courage and leadership.

In the stillness following the battle, Jin Tae Kyung looked around, observing the faces of exhaustion and satisfaction among the soldiers. He felt proud and grateful for their success. He knew that this battle was just the beginning of many struggles they would face together.

Jin Tae Kyung raised his weapon high, allowing the setting sun to reflect its enchanting gleam.

"Comrades, this is only the beginning of our journey. Let us continue moving forward together and face the challenges to come with our bravery and confidence!" he roared with a thunderous voice.

The soldiers erupted in ecstatic cheers, their spirits ignited with a newfound fire. They believed in their leader and were ready to follow his steps into the yet-unrevealed future.

Thus, Jin Tae Kyung, a strong and courageous leader, led his troops toward even greater battles. The fight against the gnolls was only the start of the epic tale they would collectively write on their journey.

Valkyrie named Ransgrid walked gracefully on the lush grasslands of Asgard. Her sharp red eyes looked up at the sky filled with dark clouds. However, for Ransgrid, the sky was not just a place for drifting clouds, but also filled with representations of ships symbolizing the warriors and monsters in the upcoming battle.

Ransgrid carefully observed the map of lights spread across the sky. She saw the deployment of troops and assessed their strengths. The upcoming battle would involve 2,000 resilient warriors and approximately 1,500 ferocious dog-headed monsters. Although this was not a small number of forces, Valkyrie reluctantly considered it a small-scale battle within the overall scope of Asgard's conflicts.

Ransgrid understood that in Valhalla, the home of brave warriors, the number of soldiers reached hundreds of thousands. Therefore, sending a force of 2,000 individuals, mostly lower-ranked fighters, would feel insufficient on the actual battlefield. Ransgrid felt that her presence in this battle was merely to meet the quota and ensure the Valkyrie's presence on the battlefield.

"Ransgrid, are you sure this battle isn't important?" a gentle voice sounded beside her. Ransgrid turned and saw a young soldier clad in shining armor. It was Harald, a young warrior recently chosen by Valkyrie to participate in this battle.

Ransgrid gave a slight smile. "Harald, I know this battle holds significance for many people. However, sometimes I grow weary of this endless war. I long to witness a truly grand battle, where thousands of warriors clash and fierce monsters roam."

Harald nodded in understanding. "I am still young and haven't experienced many battles like you, Ransgrid. But I believe that every battle holds meaning, no matter how small. Every time we fight to protect Asgard, we also protect the dreams and hopes of our people. Never underestimate the small impact we can make."

Ransgrid fell silent for a moment, contemplating the wise words spoken by Harald. She realized that her concern for this battle had been too low. She was a Valkyrie, a guardian and receiver of fallen warrior souls. Her duty was to honor the courage and sacrifices of those fighters.
