Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
"What kind of nonsense did Thanos teach you other than fighting?"
Hela sneered mercilessly.
And as long as you desire, fate will be by your side, what do you think of yourself?
The center of the world?
Cloaked in a coat made of the fur of an unknown animal, Hela didn't give Beckett a chance to respond, and took the lead. Beckett, who had positioned the location on the bracelet, followed closely behind, The Other holding the Azure Scepter.
The sound of the wind cut through The Other's disdain for Hela, and the group of three drifted away from the hidden fleet in the snow.
The footprints left on the snow are gradually covered by new wind and frost, and after a period of frost and snow, the magnificent Frost King Hall has come into view.
"That place is Laufey's palace. Now, going any further means that we are about to step into the patrol area of the palace guards. ”
"Isn't there a path that can avoid the patrol area?" The Other doesn't really want to go that way.
"You can be a rat yourself, digging a path little by little with that fragile cane in your hand."
Hela thinks that the master and servant may have a hole in both their brains. One is inexplicable self-confidence that doesn't know where it comes from, and the other is a brain-dead who can't talk but a brain.
"This is the key to the lives of countless Zetarians, not a crutch!" The Other couldn't help but bared his teeth at Hela.
"Remember who you are, Hela Odinson." Beckett's voice appears just in time, interrupting The Other's threat to Hela.
"You're my captive, don't force me to throw you in front of the Frost Giant." At this point in time when Odin is wielding a spear to wage war, Hela, Odin's only son, can imagine what will happen if he falls into the hands of the giants.
"If you want to avoid those patrols completely, then I'd suggest you go back now."
"Lead the way."
Hela shook off the snow dust from her coat and led Beckett and The Other behind her to gradually approach the Frost Hall where Laufey's Treasury was located.
As soon as they stepped into the patrol area, the three of them collided head-on with a patrol team that suddenly appeared around the corner. The Other's heart tightened, and he was ready to use the scepter in his hand to summon the fleet to attack, but in the next second, he saw six frost giants whose chests were pierced by the surging energy waves, and they all fell to the ground. Quietly, without making the slightest sound, it seemed to walk peacefully.
"Now, go ahead."
Beckett, who had withdrawn his hands, did not have the slightest change in expression, and his attitude was as casual as if he had disposed of some kind of garbage. He then raised his chin at Hela in front of him, motioning for her to continue.
This guy, has the strength increased so much?
Hela, who was already a strong man, could naturally see how much Beckett's casual blow had improved compared to when he first met him in the Bloody Plains, and secretly frowned.
After The Other, a specialist in collecting corpses, turned the corpses of the six Frost Giants into the energy stored in the Azure Scepter, Beckett and his party sneaked towards the Frost King's Hall again.
Silent energy continues to harvest the lives of patrol teams, and Beckett's so-called stealth completely subverts all concepts of stealth in Hela's impression.
"Are you sure you're doing this really stealth?"
After the patrol team encountered for the third time was trampled under Beckett's feet and killed, Hela couldn't help but ask.
Beckett glanced at her, didn't bother to answer, just stretched out the index finger of his right hand and pointed to the distance where everything was still unknown. The silent pressure forced Hela to keep her mouth shut, and she was relieved to be her own leader.
Hela, who had carefully studied the court of Jotunheim, finally arrived at the side entrance of the palace after encountering five patrols.
"Generally speaking, Laufey will arrange three or four teams at the side gate of the Frost King's Hall to take turns standing guard. A squad consists of six Frost Giants, which means you'll need to deal with at least nine or twenty-two Frost Giants at once. ”
"Not eighteen or forty-two?"
The Scepter-wielding The Other is skeptical of Hela's ability to count. The latter glanced at him and said, "Leave the remaining half to me, and you will be responsible for the final aftermath." ”
Hela, who had combed her hair into a beating look, raised her hands, and two pitch-black weapons made of magical metal appeared in her hands.
Laufey is too sensitive to the Odin power that exists on Mjolnir, and Hela is not prepared to summon it when it comes to low-key stealth.
"You-"
Sou!
Before The Other could finish speaking, Beckett and Hela had disappeared in front of him. The massive blue body was shattered in the face of a silent wave of energy and a weapon that suddenly appeared on the chests of these people.
Pierced hearts, severed throats, The Other had just raised the scepter in his hand when Beckett and Hela stood above the side door of the palace.
"Pack up these corpses, it's a reward for you." With a surge of power, Hela, who stepped on the corpse of the Frost Giant, transformed back into the proud princess of Asgard, tearing off her disguise in front of Beckett and The Other.
"I said I would make you regret it, Beckett."
With her hands outstretched, Hela let her body leap from the top of the side door sparkle with pride and disdain in her eyes.
Recovering most of her injuries was Beckett's biggest mistake.
Having regained her strength, she was able to use Beckett's side to attract firepower and step into Laufey's treasury. The treasures that Laufey used to fight Odin are now going to be harvested.
"Damn! Your Highness Beckett, what should we do? ”
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, The Other didn't have to think about it to know that Laufey's escort should have spotted the enemy attack. That damn woman really dared to betray Beckett when she had only regained a little bit of strength.
"Of course, waiting for her to take us to Laufey's treasury." Kicking away the corpse that stood in the way, Beckett pressed a button on the silver bracelet, and a blue light screen popped up, and two dots, one yellow and one red, appeared on the screen.
"What is this?"
The more The Other looked at the yellow dot, the more familiar it became, and finally looked at it, isn't this where he and Beckett are now? And the red dot that is moving at high speed...... Hella Odinson?
"There is a price to be paid for regaining strength." The sneer on the corner of Beckett's mouth became more and more obvious, and he followed behind Hela unhurriedly.
Only blind brute force, that will only become a reckless man with a head full of muscles like a dwarf.
"My father said that fate would be by my side as long as I wanted to."
