All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 116

58. Saying Whatever Because You Don’t Know – 2

“Please wait a moment. What on earth is going on?”

Karet stepped forward to ask, but the Valkyries did not answer.

They only glared coldly at Ian.

“Let’s get out of here instead of doing this here. I was planning to leave anyway, even if you guys hadn’t shown up like this.”

Ian strode out of the village.

Karet and the priests, along with a few explorers, tried to stop him, but the Valkyries pointed their spears at them.

“Are you daring to defy Freya’s will?”

“That’s……”

“Everyone stay here, or the safety zone will be erased as a penalty for that person’s actions.”

“Don’t worry.”

Ian said, glancing back. Karet clenched his fist slightly.

He wanted to intervene.

He wanted to stop the Valkyries from taking Ian away.

But if he did, the people in this safe zone could be killed or injured by the monsters and Einherjar [elite warriors chosen to serve Odin in Valhalla].

Ian smiled wryly at him, seeing that he had given up resisting.

He left the village and walked across the plains.

How far had they gone?

When the village was no longer visible, the Valkyries stopped.

“What? Aren’t you going to continue?”

“You’re not thinking of just letting us go, are you?”

“As the price for resisting Freya, we will sever one of your arms and take you.”

The Valkyries spread their wings.

Ian shrugged, looking at their vicious gazes.

“You were trying to take me so gently earlier. Why the sudden change of heart now that we’re in the middle of nowhere?”

The Valkyries did not answer.

They silently pointed their spears.

Ian sneered at them.

“You call yourselves invincible warriors.”

The Valkyries’ beautiful faces hardened.

Was it to stop him from speaking?

One of them thrust a spear at Ian.

-Clang!!

He lightly deflected the spear shaft.

Cheonma Shingong [Heavenly Demon Divine Art], Chapter of Destruction.

Flash.

With a sword technique as fast as light, he cut off the neck of one Valkyrie.

She disappeared in a flash of light with a single strike.

Seeing that, all the remaining Valkyries spread their wings and flew into the air.

“How pathetic.”

“How dare a mere human!!”

“The reason you didn’t try to capture me in the village is because you didn’t want to reveal your defeat, right?”

So, it wasn’t ‘killed a Valkyrie’ but ‘attacked a Valkyrie’.

Ian pointed his sword at the Valkyries who had flown into the sky.

“Like foolish chickens that hide their heads when a hawk appears. No different from your master.”

The Valkyries could not bear his mockery.

They raised their spears.

Ten spears wreathed in flames were aimed at Ian.

“You will disappear here.”

The Valkyrie at the head threw her spear.

The moment all the remaining Valkyries threw their spears at his signal.

“You trash who were terrified and ran away during the final war. Become food for the mistletoe tree.”

Ian lightly planted his sword in the ground.

At that moment, branches of darkness shot up from the ground, shattering the spears and piercing the Valkyries’ bodies.

“Keugh…… How…….”

“This is…… This is…….”

The Valkyries looked at Ian in disbelief.

The Valkyries, gradually turning into light, were absorbed into the tree.

The tree, which had regained a little vitality, disappeared when Ian drew his sword.

Ian, who had eliminated ten Valkyries in an instant, returned his sword to its scabbard.

“Get in the bag.”

“Myaa~.”

Myae slipped into Ian’s bag.

It was hard for Myae to hold on when Ian started running.

This wasn’t the first time, so the little guy quietly settled in the bag and whined.

Ian ran towards Freya’s castle.

He encountered quite a few enemies while running across the plains.

Executioners.

Remidrons.

Einherjar.

And even various other monsters.

While defeating them, Ian was heading to the castle.

When he arrived near the wide plains, Valkyries appeared in the sky.

But this time, it wasn’t just the Valkyries.

There was a group of warriors running from the end of the plains.

“Aren’t those the ones from the Forgotten City?”

They were the six-legged horses he had met in the Forgotten City.

The dimensional beasts with three horns and six legs, which devoured explorers outside, were merely mounts for the Einherjar here.

“Catch him!”

“For Freya!!”

The warriors enslaved by Freya roared.

Led by the Valkyries, they were desperate to catch Ian.

“The one who catches Ian Brandon will be given the honor of entering the Valkyrie’s sanctuary.”

Was it because of the Valkyrie’s words?

Desire filled the eyes of the Einherjar.

Dozens of powerful warriors glared at each other instead of Ian.

“That guy is mine!”

“Don’t be ridiculous! I will receive Freya’s grace!”

Ian raised his sword towards them, who were trying to fight each other.

-Kwaaaang!!

A barrage of sword energy swept through the warriors.

As they fell bleeding, Ian reached out towards the sky as well.

“Lightning Bolt.”

Dozens of magic circles combined, and a huge electric shock was fired.

When the Valkyries hit by it turned into light.

From the plains, dozens more Einherjar and Valkyries flew in.

“Catch him!!”

“He is Freya’s enemy!”

“Kill him!!”

At that moment, light poured out from the plains between them and Ian.

Someone was coming up.

What came out of the light was a Masked Man and a knight.

“What? What is this?”

“What’s going on?”

The leader of the Sword Flower Troop.

And Ise Karza, the leader of the Karza Knights.

While the two were wondering, looking at the Valkyries and Einherjar, they threw their weapons.

Caught up in the sudden attack, Danju and Ise bared their teeth.

“You trash who have become slaves to power!!”

“How dare you point your weapons at the Sword Flower Troop.”

The two strongmen, famous even on the continent, immediately created Aura Blades.

While the rushing Einherjar clashed with them, Ian swung his sword at the flying Valkyries.

-Chaeeeng!!

These ones must be a bit stronger.

The Valkyrie who blocked Ian’s sword strike stepped back and shouted.

“Sisters!”

The Valkyries who had flown into the air raised their spears.

The light contained in their spears gathered on the Valkyrie who had blocked Ian’s sword.

“Hey! Ian!”

“What the hell is going on?!”

The two who were blocking the Einherjar shouted, but Ian did not answer.

He was just waiting for Gungnir to materialize.

When the golden, glittering spear was completed, Ian’s eyes flashed.

Ian’s eyes turned purple.

The Asura King’s eyes, which take and use the opponent’s power as it is.

The moment it was activated, Gungnir, which the Valkyries had gathered their strength to complete, changed direction and pierced the Valkyries’ bodies.

“Keueok…….”

That was the end.

All the Valkyries in the air, along with the Einherjar, were pierced by Gungnir.

As the battle ended easily, Ian released his magic eyes.

“I have become Freya’s enemy.”

“Huh. Seriously. Weren’t you on pretty good terms with Marzana?”

“Hmm?”

How did they know that?

Ise said nonchalantly to Ian, who was wondering.

“The Queen told me. If you meet him, help him.”

‘That’s just how she is.’

She was always worried about him even in Slavd.

Thinking about that, it wasn’t that strange.

“What did you get in return?”

“I received the blessing of winter.”

“The greatest enchantment the Queen can give.”

Danju and Ise raised their swords.

There was a pattern drawn on their swords that hadn’t been there before.

“An enchantment that is superior to the highest-grade enchantment. Heh heh. What a windfall.”

“A useless addition, though. The Sword Flower Troop is a place that competes with swords, so why such an enchantment……. Tsk.”

If it was an enchantment given by Marzana, any ordinary enchantment was nothing.

It was a windfall that they didn’t need to refuse for the two who were going to help Ian if he was in danger even without her request.

“But what’s going on?”

“It’s rare for even the Valkyries to attack someone. Did you perhaps…….”

Ise narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Did you annihilate a Valkyrie?”

Nod.

Danju was impressed by Ian’s affirmation.

“Hey, you too?”

It seemed that Danju had also eliminated a Valkyrie before.

Well, that dirty personality wouldn’t have gone anywhere.

Ise smiled bitterly, as if he felt the same way.

“Then you must show the qualities of a hero.”

“What’s that?”

“The Hundred-Man Battle held in Freya’s palace.”

You have to fight and win against a hundred warriors, Einherjar, who follow her.

If you don’t, you can’t use the path to go to the next floor.

“I deliberately killed a Valkyrie because I wanted to do that Hundred-Man Battle.”

“Me too.”

The Einherjar are all powerful warriors.

Just fighting them is enough training, so it was better to try if you were confident in your skills.

When the two said that, Ian shook his head.

“I don’t really like that.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

Ian lightly grabbed his sword.

“I’ll have to catch Freya.”

He said lightly and walked towards Freya’s castle.

The two stared blankly at him and chased after him in disbelief.

“Fighting Freya is not a wise decision.”

“That’s right. She is an excellent female warrior. She has won against ten Masters. That great courage and unwavering bravery are…….”

“What and what?”

Ian stopped walking at Ise’s words.

And he wore an extremely cold sneer on his lips.

“I don’t know who you’re talking about.”

As he finished speaking and walked, the two were curious.

Although the group had grown, nothing had changed.

If anything had changed, it was only that the enemies targeting them had increased.

But the three of them passed through the plains without much trouble.

As they moved and arrived at a campsite that they thought an explorer had made, Ian boiled porridge.

Danju and Ise, who had gone hunting, roasted a deer they had caught.

Ise gave a moderately cooked portion to Myae and asked, taking a big bite of the meat.

“Ian, what’s your relationship with Freya?”

“It’s not a good relationship.”

It didn’t seem like a good relationship to anyone.

Ise shook his head, looking at Ian saying that.

What could he expect from him?

Ise tried to stop asking questions at the insincere answer, but Danju didn’t seem to be.

“Who would ask such an obvious…….”

But the words did not continue.

Ian, Danju, Ise.

And even Myae.

The four of them turned their heads towards one side.

“Oh my! Lords! Lords! If you don’t mind, could you share a little space for this lowly one to lay down?!”

It was a man dressed like a street clown.

The clown, who was even more suspicious in this place, smiled strangely and politely asked.

‘I know.’

He knew who it was as soon as he saw him.

That’s why Ian coldly replied.

“No, I don’t.”
