Valhalla Saga

Chapter 30 - Knights of the Round Table # 3

&

“So, I met five people today. They're all good kids. ”

Yidhun, sitting side-by-side on a wide rock, spits out an excitement in his face. All I could see was my lips because of the same mask, but my pink lips alone produced a very colorful look.

It was like watching a baby bird whisper right in front of my eyes, and Taeho became more focused on the image of Idun himself than the story of Idun.

“But Tae Ho, you did too much. The warriors' expectations were so high that they were very difficult to navigate. ”

I was on my way to surround them somehow, but after arriving there were only Hedda Valkyries, and even the warriors living in the encampment had to reveal all five of them except Taejo.

Taejo replied with audacity to the sound of Yidu's voice as if it were a bit of a tree.

“Aigoo, isn't the expectation met enough? I greeted Heda and even met Idun. And I didn't lie. It was a little subjective. ”

And a little exaggerated?

“You speak well. ”

Idun grins. She tilts her head and looks up at Taejo for a moment, then asks again in a friendly voice.

“Did Adenmah tell you about my new Valkyrie election, Tae Ho? ”

“Yes, I heard Hedha recommended him. ”

If the commander was the leader of the Legion Warriors, Valkyrie, the leader of the Legion, was the leader of the Valkyries who belonged to the Legion.

The election and discipline of the new Valkyrie was not only one person, but also Heda, the Valkyrie of the Legion.

“With more new warriors coming, we'll need new Valkyries, too. It's been a long time since any of this has happened. ”

I could feel how enjoyable and happy I was not only in my lips and voice, but also in my small gestures.

I suddenly felt sorry for Taeho, who was looking at Idun like that. The more warriors we have, the less time we have to face Idun. Maybe Heda did, too.

I wonder if this is what it feels like to be the firstborn of your sisters.

Taeho smiles without knowing it, and Idun lays his hands on the back of his hand. I grabbed it and said.

“Taeho, you're special. How can it be the same? ”

He already knew what Taeho was thinking inside. Taeho asked, delighted and embarrassed.

“Is that okay with you? ”

“I can do it. What's not to do? ”

Idun, who had the audacity to answer, smiled. As the number of warriors grew in the future, Idun's favorite warrior was Taeho.

“Then Heda asked. A Valkyrie more beautiful than a goddess. What kind of goddess are you talking about? ”

I couldn't see my eyes because of the eye patch, but I think they're sharp and delicate.

Taeho answered without much concern.

“That's right, Freya. ”

“Oh.”

It was because I was weakly confronted by Freya, and I was very happy to hear that Heda was more beautiful than Freya.

She excites for a moment as if she were imitating Adenmah. Then, she glances back up at Taejo and quietly asks.

“Then, Tae Ho, why don't you compare me with Heda? I'm a goddess.”

Taeho couldn't answer quickly. When I saw the hesitation, Idun picked up his overlapping hand and pouted his lips.

“I see. As expected, Taejo was the warrior of Heda. So that's it.”

Now it wasn't just Heda's imitation, it was Yidu's own tone.

Taejo lets out a cold sweat, and Idun shakes his head, grinning as he always does.

“I'm joking, I'm joking. ”

From where to where is the joke?

“Fun times always seem to fly by. ”

Idun heavily swallows his breath once, then stands still. He kindly said, placing his hand on Taeho's shoulder.

“My warrior Tahoe, I look forward to the day I return to my post in one piece. ”

Taejo closed his eyes instead of standing up, and Idun kissed his forehead.

“May my blessings be with you. ”

Warm golden light envelops Taejo's body.

&

The greatest strength of sailboats flying in the sky was that they could ignore the terrain and move, but they were also able to operate day and night.

All the rest of the Valkyrie and intermediate fighters gathered in Taeho's room, except for Valkyrie Lasgrid, who was tired of sailing overnight. Even though the cabin was small in the beginning, everyone's shoulders were touching because there were so many people.

“The reaction of the Divine Spirit Fragment is getting stronger. I think the Carton Mountains are clear. ”

Ingrid said with a sincere face as always. He looks at the horse pointing to the shape of Merlin's vision of light.

“There are already quite a lot of Forwards gathered. When you look at the magical flow around you, it is clear that you are preparing to activate the gate. ”

Based on the numbers of Forwards gathered in the Carton Mountains, we haven't even driven the gate yet, so we've arrived just in time.

“Are the Forwards holding a fragment of the Fallen Spirit? ”

“I think he's abandoning his masturbated existence as a fragment of an autumn soul, or holding it as a gift to the giants, or one of them. Probably the latter, right? ”

Forers and horses never had to stare at each other like cows.

Gandhur replies to Siri's question, and Haraval nods.

“Okay, so you can wipe them both out. I like it simple.”

Just waltz in, waltz in, waltz in, and wipe it out. It was a simple claim, but it was also a Valhalla Down claim.

Reggien Rafe grinned as if he had no choice but to tell Taeho.

“Commander, our objective is to destroy the gates to stop the Forwards from escaping and recover their Fallen Soul Fragments. ”

It was somewhat more embodied, but it eventually coincided with Haraval's claim.

“Merlin, can you destroy the gate? ”

The gate of Tuaha de Danan was not exposed to the surface of the Carton Mountains. It lies within a massive fortress dug into the Carton Mountains like the dwarven kingdoms of La Bellier.

The fortress was almost as big as a mountain, not too big, and as complex as an ant's den.

Merlin narrows his eyes to Taeho's question.

“It's a huge gate, so you wouldn't want to touch the surface a little bit. But destroying the core of the gate drive will stop the operation itself. ”

Merlin teased the hand once, and one of the lighted stereotypes greatly enlarged the mountain, revealing a complex internal structure. A map of the interior of the fortress, made in the memory of Merlin.

The core of gate activation has been located in the Grand Coven, the deepest part of the fortress. It could have been right next to the giant gate that was installed on the floor.

“If the Forwards are going to give Fallen Soul Fragments to Giants, it's likely that Fallen Soul Fragments are there, too. It's probably the heaviest defense. ”

“A little closer and we should be able to confirm its location. ”

Ingrid looks back at Tahoe, who replied briefly with a scratch on her chin.

“Commander, if we move at current speed, the battle will begin in two hours. I want you to decide the tactics of this battle. ”

How to fight.

Everyone's gaze focused on Taejo. Taeho, who was looking at the geometric model for a moment, folded his arms.

“Let's make it Valhalla. ”

“Valhalla?”

“Valhalla.”

What is Valhalla like?

Everyone except Merlin could understand at once.

&

“Aaahhhh!”

“I can't feel my lower half, my lower half! ”

“Exciting! It's always new! ”

Steel rains poured down from the sky so high. There are three numbers of steel structures. These were the exact structures used in the attack on Caleb Castle.

Nearly dozens of steel structures were returned to Valhalla with Valhalla warriors, but Taejo kept a few just in case. Even though it was somewhat ugly, there was something worthwhile hanging by a rope next to the flying sailboat.

The sailboats flying in the sky and the scava tunes sped up between the precise triangular spilling steel structures. It was almost the same speed as the steel structures, but the difficulty was greater because there was no place to hold it. Especially those in Sugaba Tune who don't even have a roof, scream as if they were riding in a black flash, not in the rain of steel.

And in front of all of them, a red flame ran. On top of Rollo's back, who was made the owner of the Flame, there were intermediate warriors who could be called the core troops of this battle as well as Tahoe.

“Taeho, you're amazing! ”

Brackey exclaims purely. Siri closed her eyes tightly with her teeth clenched, and Haraval felt like she was going to die even if she had a blue face.

Taeho looks at the ground, sharing his senses with Rollo. I remember the trauma when I was in the black flash, but I was able to maintain my mind thanks to the thrilling rollo.

Taeho counts as he looks at the ground as if it's attacking at a terrifying speed. I saw the Carton Mountains covered in red writing through the dragon's eyes.

Kyahhhhhh!

Screaming cries have been heard all over the mountain. The flying forwards rise, but are unable to control the rains of steel falling at their dreadful speeds.

Heartbreak in the sky through projectiles.

Taejo has identified the slope as a drop point slightly higher than the entrance to the fort. And the reason was so clear.

Boom, boom! Boom!

The rain of steel finally hit the ground. Immediately before it hit the ground, the rough roller pierces the dirt, and Taejo reaches out at the summoning stone and shouts out loud.

“McLaren! It's you! ”

A giant rock suspension appearing from the air acted as instructed. Instead of settling on the ground to burn the reeds, you begin digging directly into the mountain's surface.

The passageway to the interior of the keep was complex. Since the Forwards are gathering all over Midgard, the passage from the entrance is a waste of time.

Because of this, Taejo made things simple like the warrior Valhalla.

Just dig a new passageway.

Break down the walls of the existing passageway and create a new path to the gate operational core.

McLaren, a rock surfer, was able to move freely underground. Just by caring a little and rushing, a tunnel several meters in diameter was created.

“Excellent, excellent. Exemplary Valhalla Warrior! ”

Brackey exclaims in excitement, and Haraval finally settles down on the ground, starting with vomiting. Taejo returns Rollo and sees McLaren making a tunnel ahead.

“As expected, there seems to be a fragment of the Divider's Soul in the Gate Drive Core. ”

Ingrid from Sugaba Tune quickly said. Taejo quickly turns his gaze toward the steel structure.

“Las Grid! Please secure our retreat! ”

“I will take my orders! ”

Forwards, scattered near the entrance and around the Carton Mountains, flock towards this direction.

With so many but so many lowly forwards, it should be enough to put Las Grid in charge.

Half of the people coming down from the steel structure remain by Las Grid's side. There was a flying sailboat between the three steel structures, so it was a small fortress.

The Valhalla warriors run through the tunnels, leading Taejo. McLaren's career is almost straightforward, as Merlin originally mapped the landing site.

“The Forwards are gathering! ”

Merlin, who was running right behind Tahoe, shouts. You can also feel Taeho's magical flow accelerating around you.

The tunnel through McLaren has broken through the old passageway of the keep. Taejo looks to the dragon's eyes at the forwards pushing from both sides of the passageway.

Stronger than the ones out there. Over a dozen of them.

It was fairly large.

But if you think about it, this is what they have left. Most of the Forers outside the Carton Mountains have been subdued by Taeho himself and Las Grid.

“Gandur!”

“Leave it to me!”

As soon as he shouted, Gandhur responded, building a defense group with half the Valhalla warriors left. It was to secure a retreat, as Las Grid did.

McLaren lunges steadily. And I've finally reached my destination.

Boom!

A huge hole has been drilled into the great cavity, the heart of the keep. McLaren makes fun of himself and dives into the ground as if he were diving, and Taejo stares straight into the air. At the end of the cavity, you can see the Forward is quite strong.

[Splintered Divine Spirit]

[Corga]

Korga survived the battle of Caleb Castle. The broken man's chest was pierced by the injuries of his body with a pale, red, luminous soul fragment.

“Mad dogs of Valhalla! ”

Corga vomited in disgust. I had to. Crazy people. Really crazy people. It's not enough to pour from the sky. You're making a new path at all. I can't believe you ruined all the defenses I had in place!

Corga raises her magical power. Dark red smoke emanates from the fall soul fragments that envelop Corga's body, speeding the flow of magical power filling the cavity.

“To Asgard and the Nine Realms! ”

Valkyrie Reginlaive begins the battle screaming loudly. The Valhalla warriors charge towards the Forwards, who were in the common room. Merlin sees the ground. There was a golden glow in the giant enchantment that almost filled the entire floor of the cavity.

“The gate is about to go live! ”

Tae Ho pushed the ground instead of answering. It was like a real storm. The target was Corga.

“Tohor!”

Braki and Siri ran in the direction Merlin pointed. It faces the altar at the center of the sorcerer's circle.

“Idun's Hunting Dog! ”

Corga lunges at Taejo instead of running away. The expression "hunting dog" made Kuulin strangely happy, and Taejo focused on his consciousness. I didn't intend to waste a second defeating Corga.

The dark red smoke surrounding Corga pours towards Taejo. Together, it quickly became the shape of a giant hunting dog, and Taejo literally crushed the smoke by swinging a Kaladvolg with a concussion. You continue to charge without stopping.

Just then, Merlin looks up at the sorcerer. And Taeho could feel instinctively.

The gate is already full of magic. It was operational at any time.

Moreover, Corga is already at the gate. The Forwards have gathered a considerable number.

Then why didn't they use the gate to escape? Was he waiting for the rest of the Forward Party to gather? The Forers? Corga, the one who tried to run away from even the king?

Taejo Kor approaches. Corga flinches at Taejo as she imagines.

Taeho cut off his arm, not swinging at his sword. It was a possible trick because Corga dug it into her arms before she even reacted.

Corga's arm falls to the ground and gives a dull sound. Corga screams horribly, and Taejo tries to lift his chest up.

But this time, Corga was very, very fast. While he was screaming, he ran to Taeho instead of stepping back. Once more, the dark red smoke echoes in Taejo's arms.

“Catas Crodia! ”

The starter language that triggered the gate was clear. The golden light from the enchantment grows stronger, and Corga tries to take one step further into the enchantment.

Brackey destroyed the altar with a lightning hammer. Merlin casts an urgent spell to disrupt the magical flow of the sorcerer.

Taejo can now see Corga's intentions.

He wasn't just trying to escape Midgard. His real objective was to get Taeho's group through the gate to Erin.

Why?

Taeho stopped asking questions. Idun's divine power lasts on both legs in a heartbeat. Corga's mum confronts the power and plunges Kaladvolg into his body. You blew up Kaladbolg's brains!

Kwaga River!

Caledbolg is more of a lightning rod than a missing sword. The lightning blazes at the core of Corga's body, and Corga can't rush any further. A splinter of the soul falls through the giant hole in the middle of the body. Instead of fighting Taeho, he weakened him, just trying to push him.

Taeho swallowed dry saliva. You hurl yourself into the breach and look back as you retrieve the broken soul.

Whether Brackey destroyed the altar or Merlin's spell worked, the golden light that covered the entire enchantment was shrinking. But I could see it in Taeho's eyes. The gate itself was in an active state. The magic of moving to Erin is still underway at this moment.

Corga fails. He can't activate the gate with Taejo pushed into the enchanted circle.

But Tae Ho had to choose.

The reason was so simple.

There were people who were in a reduced range.

Valkyrie Ingrid and the warriors of Valhalla. Braki and Siri.

Movement magic is complete. Light rising from the enchanted camp becomes a pillar of gold and rises to the ceiling.

Taeho didn't hesitate. The moment the light was rising, it was already plunging to the ground.

“My king!”

Merlin shouts, but Taejo doesn't stop.

Taeho himself was a commander. No, I couldn't abandon my colleagues in front of me even if I didn't!

The pillar of light splits.

There is nothing left where the pillar disappeared.

&

The Grand Conclusion did not prevent it from escaping the Conclusion. If you tried to enter the Great Wall through the gate, all the spirits would have been smashed into the Great Wall, but fortunately, that did not happen when you went out.

Erin has long been destroyed.

The flames of the Giant Sur destroyed Erin by not being able to burn her. Erin was scattered to the hills, Asgard, Olympus and the palace.

It was possible that the gateway's destination did not exist. But fortunately, there was another destination.

The pillar of light splits.

Long-distance space travel through an incomplete gate was just as difficult as the risk.

The Valhalla warriors sat down, vomiting violent breath, and Braki and Siri sighed with a heavy expression.

Taeho, who was able to jump into the pillar of light with a sudden car, raises his head. At the last moment, Merlin's voice leaps along the reed into the pillar of light.

“Erin.”

There was a young yearning in his voice. And he mourned the harsh reality.

The beautiful land I saw in Kuulin's memory did not exist. A shattered land. A parched land of death.

The magic in the air is sparse. Heaven and earth were all gray.

Taeho looks around with the eyes of the dragon. I don't see the Forwards, except for a few that have moved along.

However, Taejo looked up at the sky and saw why Corga tried to push him into the gate.

&

It was so simple.

You cannot freely send troops into the Grand Concourse. It is also impossible to send a Giant strong enough to defeat Idun's Warrior.

So let's get Idun's warrior out of the arena.

Hunt Idun's warriors outside the Grand Concourse.

Two of the five fingers have just become obsessed with a senior warrior. It was impossible to rest, and it was difficult to predict.

Corga has failed. Merlin's magic is interfering with her movement magic. Idun's warrior appeared elsewhere outside the area he had originally intended to land.

But what was important was the fact that Idun's warrior was out of the fighting pits.

Night Giant Avalt recalls the first time he faced the warrior of Idun. I watched in the darkness of the night.

Across the front line, where Erin's ruined debris gathers in the gray sky. That land is closer to Jotunheim than Asgard.

“The warrior of Idun. ”

The giant of the earth, Valgard, said. It came down all over the gray earth.
