The battlefield snant, and the air was thick with the scent of copper and fish
It was the s fiercely The fomoires that had hidden beneath Kalliv Castle poured out from cracks and crevices like an army of ants
The ones that could fly flew, and the ones that couldn’t charged on foot Many sprinted towards the rainbow barrier rather than towards the warriors of Valhalla
Bress the Tyrant’s senses were keen He chose to flee rather than lead the fomoires to face the warriors of Valhalla
As the foround Of course, the fomoires actions were also caused by Bress’ skillful oats to buy some time as he ran away
Bress mentally reviewed the recent events as he dashed from his throne towards the subterranean network of tunnels
This battle wasn’t by coincidence
Valhalla had made all the necessary preparations They were just like a patient hunter who cal an arrow The patient hunter always caught their victiard Such an event hadn’t occurred since the Great Barrier was raised There hadn’t been only one or two volleys either The nuh to completely surround Kalliv Castle
Valhalla was undoubtedly ai for a swift victory, and that hy he had chosen to flee As always, staying alive was Bress’ top priority
If he died, everything would end He had to stay alive so that he could plan for the next opportunity
However, Bress ca
He probably wasn’t going to be able to escape through the ground
Valhalla had had plenty of time for plenty of preparations From the look of those war machines, there was a really low probability for their operation to have left a path for Bress to escape
And his guess was spot on
The rainbow barrier didn’t only spread to the ground but also far below it Every passage of the maze-like tunnel netas blocked In addition, enerated when the barrier had penetrated through theround If the barrier was the only probleh it, but he couldn’t do anything as the passages the apart
Cold sweat streah
It was because he’d felt Odin’s strong desire to catch Bress
His disadvantage grew the more time he wasted, for Odin would then also have ainst him
What he needed to do was to escape quickly, and he could only think of one method
He had to destroy the steel structures that were sustaining the barrier and then break the barrier itself
Without a second thought, Bress proround toward the surface
The fomoire commanders were positioned outside of Kalliv Castle, for the most part If they could attack the steel structures from outside the barrier, his plan would definitely succeed, but it was a pointless decision Even if they’d returned to the castle upon realizing the danger, they lacked enough a and Mordred They were the forces he could use, but the two of them were already in the middle of battle
He knew he’d almost reached the surface, for the putrid scent of battle had started filling his nostrils
Bress wasn’t thinking of creating any sort of heroic battle He ran toward the direction opposite of where Korga and Mordred were fighting He was planning to charge as a nor He would only release his h to destroy the steel structures after passing through the warriors of Valhalla
He didn’t need to disguise himself further, as he’d already thrown his crown aside upon vacating his throne He, so of the Tuatha De Danann, was hiding his stunning looks with a strawthe hues It wasn’t because he thought lightly of theainst the warriors of Valhalla It was absurd to think that Odin’s battle-roeak hearted because of such a strategy They would slash hiht
Bress finally left the castle Around hiether to for battle to the North, and Mordred sleith his sword anyone foolish enough to attack him If one had to choose a direction, he was also towards the North
Because of that, Bress chose to head directly South
The warriors of Valhalla and the foed towards them He heaved his axe into the warriors of Valhalla that dared to swing their swords at him
A sas easily deflected away by Bress before he slung his axe at the chest of the weapon’s owner Bress kicked away the surprised, dying warrior and then narrowed his eyes sharply He rechecked the location of the steel structure once again
It wasn’t time yet He needed to approach a bit more to release his power
There was no way the preparations of the warriors of Valhalla would be simple The moment they discovered Bress, they would surely activate soet closer He would release his full pohen he became certain he could destroy the structure in an instant
But right then, as he was about to take one more step
Bress could feel it He hurriedly looked up at the sky
A ribbon of bolts were screaa: The Arrow of the Witch Never Misses its Target]
The attack came from above at an extreme distance; however, Bress could still see theolden-haired witch pulled on the trigger
The ribbon exploded It exploded even before Bress could properly react It wasn’t that they were attacking hinal
The at second The eyes of the surrounding warriors of Valhalla turned to focus on Bress Not only that, but the Valkyries that were scattered around started to gather with alar speed
Idun’s warrior…
Bress didn’t howl and instead donned a face colder than ice Bress was that kind of person Is could only dreaer looked toward the sky He even erased the lingering doubt regarding how Idun’s warrior had found hilanced at the steel structure and then released his aura in the form of a massive explosion
The unlucky warriors that had been closest to him were incinerated without mercy
Blood, flesh, and dust obscured his vision However, his surrounding had already been memorized by Bress’s eyes This obviously included the steel structure
Bress the Tyrant took a step and his body grew bigger It was the result of obtaining the body of Cichol, the preceding King of the Fomoires He, that had been crossbred with a Tuatha De Danann, had a previous height no different from a human’s, but it was different now His body that had swelled up so suddenly now stood more than three meters tall
He took another step Treasure that had rested inside the ic pocket of the Tuatha De Danann were unleashed into his hands They were treasures of Erin, a grueso them without pause and the number of deaths on the battlefield soared
The sharp whistle of cut wind followed in his wake The warriors nearest to Bress were bisected in an instant and fell without so round ept up by the aftershock and also becaed across the battlefield toward the other steel structures, but Reginleif blocked his way
"Mighty Odin!&8221;
Reginleif cried out as she hefted her sword It was a sword she’d used for the cere with the power of Odin covered the exquisite blade and hilt
The sword absorbed Reginleif’s ht, and Bress couldn’t help but pause ainst him
It was hard to send superior-ranked warriors or above to Midgard due to the presence of the Great Barrier As a result, Odin had planned to weaken Bress’s strength arriors below the superior rank
It was to the extent that even intermediate and inferior-ranked warriors could face him This was in order to reduce the nu hiinleif She was also wielding a sword that had runes carved with Odin’s power
The number of Valkyries increased to seven in the next instant
