Under the influence of the raging storm, the flames left on the ground by Gerndal's fire rain spell were finally extinguished.

In this fast-paced battle, Lu Xiao was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Gerndal while distracting himself to control the storm that swept across the mountaintop platform.

The wind circle gradually narrowed under Lu Xiao's instructions, and the waterspout connecting heaven and earth surrounded Gerndal and Lu Xiao in a small area.

The Valkyrie could no longer use her wings to dodge freely, and her range of motion was compressed to the limit.

Lacking room to dodge and move, Gerndal finally began to be a little overwhelmed in the face of Lu Xiao's high-frequency attacks.

"Boom!"

The top-mounted Regulus slashed in front of Gerndal, and though she had done her best to lean back to dodge, the sharp Regulus left a deep mark on her sturdy metal armor.

With almost zero distance, Lu Xiao's left hand punched against the smooth abdomen where Gerndal's armor was cut.

"Drink!"

The sudden burst of strength into the Valkyrie's body, if it weren't for the divine power to protect the body, the power of the shock alone would be enough to make her lose her combat effectiveness.

Even so, Gerndal, who was directly hit, could still feel a feeling of weakness coming from his body.

The unconscious Valkyrie couldn't understand the origin of this situation, but she noticed Lu Xiao's left hand glowing with a faint green light.

The body subconsciously reacted, and Gerndal immediately pulled back.

But by this time it was too late to act.

After the inch fist was exerted, Lu Xiao finally revealed his killer feature.

The Uru Hidden Blade, enhanced by the god-killing rune, popped out, and even though Gendal pulled away as quickly as he could, a small wound was stabbed in her lower abdomen.

Lu Xiao's left Hidden Blade has both self-concealment and poisonous effects.

The divine power protection was pierced by the god-killing power, and the Hidden Blade that stabbed directly into the body also sent the poison into Gerndal's body.

"Hmm!"

The poison formed by the combination of Uru metal and rune runes was so effective that Gerndal's body in the sky began to shake a little, and it was clear that her state was severely affected.

"Chance!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was trapped by the poison and could not move freely, Lu Xiao teleported behind Gerndal in a shrinking manner, and the Xuanyuan Sword swung out one after another, cutting off Gerndahl's wings from behind.

The wings were the source of the Valkyrie's strength, and after the wings were cut off, Gerndal immediately lost his ability to resist and fell to the ground trembling all over.

A vague phantom floated out of Gerndal's body, looking like an unstable and formed soul.

In the soul state, Gerndal's aura was much calmer, perhaps due to the effects of the corruption curse for a long time, and the details of the soul body's face were very blurry, and it was impossible to see what she really looked like.

"Warrior, thank you for setting me free."

Gerndahl's soul was very weak, and his voice was not very clear.

"Please bring the helmet that houses my soul back to the Valkyrie Council, and I hope you will liberate my fallen sisters as well."

With that, Gerndal's soul retracted into the winged helmet with a few fiery feathers.

At the same time, her physical body completely lost its vital character.

When the battle ended, Eijin and Tamamo came over from the sidelines.

Lu Xiao thought about it for a moment and said to Yongzhen: "For the time being, put Gerndal's helmet in the demon refining pot, which is more suitable for warming the soul than my personal space." ”

Valkyries were originally heroic spirits who were recruited by Odin after death, and their bodies were not purely human or divine bodies, but rather some kind of deified puppet bodies.

Gerndal's soul hibernates in her helmet, but she still has a lot of divine power in her body, which she can't take with her.

The space beacon was taken out and inserted into Gerndal's "corpse", and the gauge began to rise gradually, eventually stopping at the 8% indicator.

'A Valkyrie is only 7%, 8 ...... No, the sum of 9 is only 63%, which means ......'

Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes, "Do you have to rely on other gods to make up for the rest of the rest?" ’

……

The first Valkyrie was done, and Lu Xiao planned to make persistent efforts to find the next one.

Following Mimir's suggestion, the group decided to temporarily avoid the area where the Asaph Protoss was more active.

"Let's go to Niflheim and Helheim next, Odin shouldn't be interested in these two forbidden areas of life."

"But before you head to Niflheim, it's a good idea to do some preparations."

The erudite Mimir kindly reminded, "Niforheim's mist can cause damage even to the gods, so you should first go to Brock or Sindri to help them craft some trinkets and equipment that slow down the erosion of the cursed mist." ”

Lu Xiao had already written down the spatial coordinates of Midgard, and after the battle, he opened the portal directly from Muspelheim and returned to the Temple of Tyre.

When traveling through the space, Lu Xiao suddenly felt a surge of excitement all over his body, and someone was hiding in the dark and quietly watching him.

'Odin? No, it doesn't feel right. ’

Lu Xiao has experienced Odin's surveillance, and the gaze of the king of the gods is very sharp, even if he is a demon through a crow, he can bring Lu Xiao a sense of threat like a pinprick.

There seemed to be no malice in the gaze this time, more like a curious look.

But it is not a good thing to be observed from the bottom of the night, Lu Xiao wanted to follow the breath to find it after settling in the Temple of Tyr, but in the end he found nothing.

'Who the hell is it?' You can actually catch me in the process of spatial teleportation. ’

"Lu Xiao?" Mimir noticed Lu Xiao's sudden change in attitude: "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Mimir, as well as Yongzhen and Xiaoyu, did you feel the gaze when you crossed the space passage before?" ”

Yongzhen and Yuzao glanced at each other, and both of them showed a blank look in their eyes at the same time.

"No, I didn't feel anything, could it be ......"

"Hmm."

Lu Xiao rubbed his eyebrows: "Someone was secretly observing me just now, but I didn't find anything when I searched carefully. ”

Mimir, like Lu Xiao, immediately thought of the god king who liked to peep.

"Odin? Probably not. ”

"You're not using a method of teleportation using the roots of the World Tree, and Odin's tentacles can't reach into another dimension."

Mimir asked thoughtfully, "Lu Xiao, tell me in detail what kind of aura you felt?" Maybe I can guess where the other person came from. ”

Mimir is the most knowledgeable and brain-friendly person in the Nine Realms, and the amount of knowledge he has is very large, and Lu Xiao is willing to believe in his knowledge.

"A deep, dark aura, not hostile, just curious...... ? ”

Mimir had a suspicious candidate in mind, but in the absence of more evidence, he did not intend to mislead Lu Xiao in a conjecturical way.

"I have some clues, but I need more details to back it up."

"If my guess is correct, he should have no ill will towards you, and there will definitely be more opportunities to contact him in the future, so let's put this issue aside for the time being."

When Lu Xiao and his party returned to the Temple of Tyr, Brock, who had been missing before, reappeared in his blacksmith shop.

Lu Xiao stepped forward to negotiate with him, and entrusted Brock to create some special equipment for himself that could slow down the erosion of the cursed fog.

Mimir was still thinking about the question that he didn't get a definite answer to.

Could it be him?' ’
