Jin Tae Kyung responded reflexively, then suddenly became startled. The Valkyrie standing in front of the gate was definitely the figure he saw yesterday at the camp.The surrounding soldiers around Jin Tae Kyung began to grow confused."Wait! Wait, wait!""No!""Don't tell me!"The soldiers stared at Valkyrie, while she cleared her throat as if she, too, was puzzled and said, "Someone has come to see you.""Nooooooooooo!""Booooooooooo!""Odin!"While the soldiers cried, a red-haired Valkyrie let her hair down, just as she did yesterday. It was Brunhilds or Heda, the Valkyrie who led the Idun Legion and the only Valkyrie who made Jin Tae Kyung fall in love."Uh... Hi, again?"The woman's voice was lower than yesterday, perhaps because she felt burdened by the gaze of two thousand eyes.Jin Tae Kyung nodded, realizing that Heda was right. They both stood behind the gate, gazing at the increasingly crowded surroundings filled with more and more soldiers."Something's not right. Why are
After Jin Tae Kyung agreed, Brunhilds placed her palms back on Jin Tae Kyung's chest. She closed her eyes as if reading runes, then smiled brightly and said, "Are you evenly distributing them?""It seems like I need all of them," Jin Tae Kyung replied."You're thinking wisely. Let me put it this way: you're more of an all-rounder warrior, so it's better to do what you're doing rather than focusing on one thing."In a game, one would choose between a damage tree or a defense tree based on effectiveness, but this was reality. Furthermore, Brunhilds was contemplating slow growth that implied evenly increasing all abilities rather than dramatic growth."Actually, after facing what I faced yesterday, I thought about focusing on health."Because if your health becomes stronger, it appears that your resistance to surprises also becomes stronger. However, Brunhilds shook her head."That's not bad initially, but don't invest all your runes there. You should always remember that you'll be fight
"No matter where you use it, you don't have to waste it. It seems like you still haven't fully embraced your gift. Judging by the accomplishments you've achieved today, you will also receive a reward tomorrow. I'm telling you, you're extraordinary," Brunhilds said with an appreciative tone.Jin Tae Kyung shrugged his shoulders, sporting a cynical smile. He often heard praises like that when he was still a professional player, but it was still pleasant to hear."But anyway, the lowest-ranked soldiers are truly treated just like ordinary people. They can't even go to the store alone," he thought.He understood why the Ullr Legion's soldiers were causing a commotion about their low rank."I should go back," he said.Heda seemed to have a way to check the time. She looked up at the sky and approached Jin Tae Kyung."Lower your head for a moment, I will bless you," Heda said.Jin Tae Kyung lowered his head, and Heda tiptoed to place her lips on Jin Tae Kyung's forehead."May the blessings
Ransgrids, the leader of the army, carefully placed the map on the empty table next to the altar. The map appeared small as most of the territory was dominated by the imposing Black Fortress."We are currently here. Initially, our main objective was to recapture this fortress, but the situation has changed," Ransgrids said, pointing his finger towards the Black Fortress."There is an enemy force approaching from the west. Given their speed, we will be engaged in battle within a few days."A soldier sitting among them asked, "Should we send out reconnaissance units?"Ransgrids shook his head gently. "No, that task will be carried out by our Valkyries. Reginleif has just departed."They had just received information about the approaching enemy forces. As Ransgrids looked towards the gate, he saw Reginleif leaving the fortress with determined steps."What I want to provide you with is the location of the dwarf mines."Ransgrids' finger moved again, indicating the position of the mines to
As silence enveloped them, news of the "black lightning" spread. Jin Tae Kyung felt uncertain in his heart, while Ransgrids smiled weakly, gazing at them all."This shouldn't be happening," Jin Tae Kyung uttered with doubt in his heart."Once again, I appreciate your hard work. For Asgard and the nine planets. May Odin's blessings always be with you," Ransgrids said."For Asgard and the nine planets!" the warriors cheered spiritedly, and Ransgrids nodded before leaving.Jin Tae Kyung then turned to a warrior beside him and asked, "What is this 'black lightning' really?""Black lightning is black lightning!" the warrior replied cheerfully, while Jin Tae Kyung sighed once more, realizing they were in Valhalla. Salveig, who noticed them, said, "Jin Tae Kyung, are you curious about the black lightning?""I don't quite understand, but it seems like it's a killer, right?" Jin Tae Kyung asked.Salveig shook her head and laughed, "No, even I
Just as Avtr felt it was safe to continue their journey inside the dwarf mine, an arrow came flying towards them. They quickly followed one of the dwarves named Isaac, who appeared and gave them directions."Let me go!" shouted a wounded soldier with an arrow in his thigh, while another soldier pulled him, yelling."Silence!" came a firm command from a leader among the soldiers."Quick!" cried a desperate kobold who opened a door. Arrows started raining down as if his cry was a signal."Ah! I've been hit!" exclaimed one of the soldiers."Run!" shouted another.With agility like a squirrel, Avtr slipped through the door and leaned against the door frame, pulling out the bow and arrows strapped to his back."Shoot!" he called out.Their target was not to drive away the enemy but to protect themselves.As Avtr released a second arrow, Jin Tae Kyung and Salveig rolled together and entered the building. Tae Kyung felt relieve
As Alvtr inquired, Isaac furrowed his brow seriously before answering, "The incident happened yesterday just before dawn. We were getting ready for breakfast and sleep as usual. However, something dreadful occurred. Our food was contaminated with poison.""Don't the dwarves have the ability to detect poison?" one of the soldiers asked, almost speaking to himself. Isaac's pointed ears trembled upon hearing the question."Our sense of smell and taste is indeed sensitive. But it doesn't mean we can distinguish weak poison. And actually, the poison wasn't too strong. It only made it difficult for you to move, without posing any danger to your life."Dwarves, with bodies much stronger than humans, do have resistance to toxins. They can even chew on poisonous mushrooms while laughing."But the situation made the poison deadly."Isaac furrowed his brow as if swallowing something bitter, then he spoke to Alvtr and the soldiers, "I'm sure you saw them, but those who attacked us were our own co
Ten Valhalla warriors and twenty dwarf warriors were inside the fortress, the remnants of their forces after three Valhalla warriors and five dwarves were injured and unable to fight. The dwarves carried round shields, swords, and axes, while the Valhalla warriors who had lost their shields in the rain of arrows received new ones from the dwarves.After the preparations were complete, Alvtr, one of the Valhalla warriors, counted the time. Midday was approaching."Let's go!" Isaac, one of the Valhalla warriors, exclaimed, urging the warriors forward and standing at the front line. Alvtr followed them from behind.The dwarven fortress consisted of underground corridors connecting mines and the surface fortress. Their meeting place was not underground, but on the top floor of the fortress."I'm certain we won't encounter enemies until we reach the summit. But from then on, we must fight with all our might," Isaac trembled. Alvtr nodded in agreement and whispered softly to Jin Tae Kyung,
