It did not take long for Frey to get back to the forge of the demigod blacksmith. Brunhild is about to ask Frey what he commotion was but the former suddenly went into battle mode. Frey did not know why Brunhild became battle ready but she knew how fearsome the leader of the Valkyries is.
“Show yourself monster.” Brunhild shouted which also made the other Valkyries battle ready.
Sirius used his soul link to tell that Adrian that something is wrong immediately. Adrain told Levin Cloud to pick up the pace as Sirius felt a bit scared. Brunhild’s left hand started having mana coalesce and a magic circle appeared.
Brunhild then pointed her index finger towards Frey. Frey is then covered by a blue light and a squeal of a dog monster is heard. Sirius is dealt damage by the strange magic that Brunhild used. The Valkyries surrounded Sirius and the demon wolf just growled back at them.
Frey immediately remembered who the wolf creature is and it is one of the soulbounds of the human summoner she encountered. She also pulled out her secondary weapon and pointed it at Sirius. Sirius just stared at Valkyries as he would be ready to counterattack anyone who charges at him.
“How did a demon wolf follow you here, Sister Frey?” Brunhild asked Frey.
“The demon wolf is a soulbound of a summoner I encountered earlier. I was about to report it to you but it seems it followed me here or to be precise it is ordered to follow me.” Frey replied.
“Interesting. I had my fair share of battling demon wolves but this one seems to be bigger than the ones I have killed. That summoner seems to be somewhat capable.” Brunhild stated as her interest in this summoner increased.
“Still sister, it is quite rude to tail a woman. We must punish this summoner as he made a fool out of one of us.” A Valkyrie named Alruna stated as she closed in on Sirius.
“Maybe I should test the cute dog. I want to know its capabilities since it is already here.” A Valkyrie named Eir stated as she eyed Sirius.
Eir immediately tossed three small daggers towards Sirius. The demon wolf did not bother to dodge but instead extended his shadow to flick away the daggers sent towards him. Eir held out her hand and the three daggers flew back to her hands once more. She then started to proceed to once again throw daggers at Sirius.
Each successive throw, the speed of the daggers coming at Sirius increases. After every throw, Sirius had to increase his reaction speed and is straining his mental strength. At the seventh throw that is seven times faster than the original speed, Sirius did not block the daggers instead the space in front of him exploded that blew away the daggers.
“It seems that the owner is already here to protect its soulbound.” Brunhild stated and a pair of silhouettes appeared.
Adrian appeared with a not so happy look while Marlon who followed just had a stoic expression. Sirius immediately dived back into Adrian’s shadow upon command but the demon wolf protested a little and snarled one last time at the Valkyries. The Valkyries just stared at the two best friends and the two also stared back. The staring contest continued for a few minutes before Eir spoke.
“Hey you! Cute boy! Why don’t you give me that cute doggie of yours? I will give you a drake in return. That is a much stronger monster than that wolf.” Eir stated thinking that her offer is really great as drakes are monsters that are difficult to tame.
“I think my sisters still lack training as simple illusion magic can still cloud their sight. The one in front of you is not a human.” Brunhild stated which made Adrian his eyebrow. .
NPC: Brunhild
Tier: Legendary
Title: Captain of the Einjerhar
Level: 250
“It seems she is different from the others who are fifty levels below her and are Epic grade NPCs. No wonder. But what is a legendary NPC doing here in the far north. From what I know, Valkyries are said to live in another world called Valhalla.??? Adrian thought.
“What do you mean that the summoner kid is not human, Sister Brunhild?” Eir stated as she is confused.
“The summoner in front of you is one of the Daemos.” Brunhild stated which shocked the other Valkyries but Frey did not know what the Daemos was. Sensing Frey’s puzzled look, Brunhild explained it in simpler terms.
“It seems Sister Frey has yet to encounter one of the Daemos but I believe the humans call them as demons.” Brunhild stated while looking at Adrian.
“No thanks on the offer for the drake. Even if you trade Sirius for a dragon, I will reject you.” Adrian answered which clearly pissed off Eir.
Adrian is not foolish enough to trade Sirius for a drake because Sirius would become as strong as one if not stronger. Also, Adrian is a very sentimental person and Sirius is his first soulbound so why would he give the latter away. Adrian probably got his sentimentality from his mother because her mother rarely throws stuff away. Even if the vegetables in their fridge get only thrown away if they are rotten to the core.
“It seems this big sister needs to teach you a lesson.” Eir stated as she disappeared from here position and is about to punch Adrian.
Adrian sort of expected that Eir would charge at him but the other Valkyries did not expect what happened next. Eir’s punch that was about to connect to did not happen. Instead, Eir disappeared into thin air which made the other Valkyries point their weapons at the two friends.
“What did you do demon?! Answer me before you regret.” Brunhild stated while pointing her claymore at Adrian.
“I just sent her somewhere outside to cool her head off.” Adrian answered with a sheepish smile.
Meanwhile, Levin Cloud is already dying inside from being nervous. Frey though looked at Adrian with slight curiosity as she wondered how he sent Eir away outside. Adrian though is also sweating outside because it cost him half his mana to just send one person away.
