Chapter 72

****** 

Third Person POV-

At the top of the flying fortress Chaos is fighting his friend, Mathew (the commander of Payon) however he really can't do anything to stop the continuous attacks he is receiving.

"Matthew listen to me! It's me Chaos don't you remember me!?" Chaos can only continue to dodge his friend attacks. "Answer me!!" But no matter how much Chaos tries to talk to his friend, he continues to attack, finally hitting Chaos in the side of the stomach.

"Hehehehe! That's right, just keep talking to him, you never know.... maybe there still might be something left inside..." A woman with short brown hair, using a dark purple leotard looks down at Chaos from a throne, from her back multiple cable are connected to different parts of the fortress.

"Matthew!! It's me Chaos!" The fight continues but Chaos is no match for his dear friend, who quickly subdues him and is simply causing much more damage to him. 

"Your friend no longer knows you, he is now a blackness of hungering, there remains nothing in him but jealousy of all that still lives. Even the friendship you had will not stop him from killing you, but at least you will be together again. Friends for eternity! Hahahahaha!!" The woman begins to enjoy every moment of what happens, seeing the suffering it generates and the satisfaction she feels for it. 

"You did this to Matthew!" Chaos begins to get annoyed and begins to clench the fist that holds his sword.... but in the end he drops it. "NO! I can't kill you, Matthew even if it means my own life..." In the end Chaos gives up, even if his friend is being controlled, he really can't find the strength to kill him.

"How maudlin.... how boring, I think it's time to end your suffering. Slay him my puppet, add your friend to.... " Suddenly the woman stops and turns to look at her side standing up, her voice stopping but her face shows no expression.

Meanwhile Chaos is being attacked by Matthew, being kicked, beaten, but if one pays attention he will realize that his trident attacks always dodge Chaos's vital points, in the end Chaos realizes that his friend's body is crying, remembering the promise he made to him on one occasion.

"I never trough of it 'til now, maybe it's being a commander, Chaos if I ever do something stupid or worse... I want ya to do what ya have to."

"Matthew... MATTHEW!!!" So with tears in his eyes Chaos beheads his friend...

"Thank you... Chaos" Chaos can only hear a murmur that he doesn't know if it was really said by his friend or if it was just something he imagined to ease the pain...

"YAAAAAGHH" Chaos screams and kneels in front of his friend's corpse.

"Dear, dear, poor Matthew... and you Chaos, now you have killed your friend twice! So heartless of y-." At that moment the woman stops speaking again as one of her best servants, Amdarais broke through the wall and was thrown into the throne room, followed by hundreds of light spears that ended his existence.

"Good evening, dear lady, I am in charge of Prontera's security and I couldn't help noticing that your air fortress is violating the Palace's airspace, I ask you to please resist as much as possible while I remove it from existence." From among the smoke they hear a man's voice speaking and from outside a totally forgettable-looking man enters, he would be someone you would never turn to see at any time.

"And who are you to dare question the wishes of your superior, Norman?"

"Me?"  When the man is questioned, he shows a surprised face for a moment, only to smile mockingly and finally introduce himself. "I am Alpharius."

Leonhard POV

"Sir Leonhard!" Chaos exclaims clearly happy to see me.

'And you immediately screams my name, do you know how long I've been waiting for someone to ask my name? And what the hell happened to you? You looks like shit... and this is not a fortress?'

The 'fortress' has several collapsed buildings, walls and everything normal there, but what is not normal is the fact that right now they are inside a ribcage, the ribs are clearly visible around us as well as the spine behind the throne.

"What the fuck? Is a colossal titan going to appear? Although why the fuck is everything connected with cables...? It seems that we are inside an EVA.... Well, Beautiful Lady, I must add several copyright infringements too, this will cost many years to your sentence..." 

"Hahahaha, are you a jester? You really managed to amuse me, for that the blessing of death is yours."

[Valkyrie Lisa Kahn Himmelmez LVL: 199 HP: 20,000,000,000/20,000,000,000 MP: 10,098,000/12,098,000 Race: Angel  Element: Holy 3

Many years ago, Himmelmez the Necromancer attacked Glastheim while King Schmitz Von Walter was away. Her mission was originally to acquire the heart for Freyja, but Himmelmez would rather have it for herself to become a full-fledged goddess.]

After she finishes speaking, the cables behind her begin to move, manipulating everything around them, to attack me and not only that, the gears, cables and all the mechanical parts around me begin to attack me too.

Even so, I manage to dodge her attacks and get closer to her to attack her, of course that is easier to think than to do, but I still manage to get in position to launch attacks from a distance, however something very surprising happens...

[Soul Breaker] -0 HP.

"Hahahahaha. Give in to the darkness little one, I am the daughter of death in living form... I am beyond simple mortality! No earthly weapon can slay me!" Several of the cable that were attacking me turn into drills that begin to spin and attack me.

Although I manage to avoid them as well, a group of them transforms again, creating flat spade-like blades with which they begin to attack me, it is really getting more difficult to dodge so many attacks and even more so that I have to be careful that Chaos does not die, since I am completely sure that this guy is the protagonist of this world

"I thrive on the life force of others, growing stronger and stronger with each soul devoured!" 

'Shit, this bitch is really difficult, no matter what I do or what element I attack her with, I can't hurt her...'No matter when or how Leonhard attacks her, he is not really causing her any kind of damage.

"Oh dear... you've come up short again, failure after failure... come let me put you out of your mise- Biyou? NO!?" After saying that the multiple drills appear around me, coming to attack me stops... but after some seconds something seems to have happened to the Valkyrie who suddenly seems quite upset and starts attacking me with a wide variety of weapons, spears, axes, swords, even magic bolts.

'No matter what she does, this fight will really take me a long time... if I have to guess her immortality has to do with those ribbons that come out of her back, since we started fighting, she hasn't really moved from her position,,,' I continue to dodge hers attacks for a minute or two, not really coming up with any kind of plan...

However, suddenly the Valkyrie stops and begins to move her hands, using a large amount of magic, and a large amount of  titans with axes and armor begin to appear around us. Apparently the time for playing is over...

"Hahahahaha, I've already won... And Sarah, your betrayal of me will not be forgiven, Bijou's death will be very expensive..." I can see how several Amdarais arrive carrying the Valkyrie Sarah Irine and some kind of pinecone, which my system immediately identifies as the Heart of Ymir....

All the titans around me begin to attack us incessantly, plus I can see the Valkyrie gathering her magical power preparing some kind of spell... No, seeing them properly, they are not titans... they are called Gigantes? Are we entering the Bleach universe? A Arrancar will appear now?

[Gigantes LVL: 160 HP: 9,870,000/9,870,000 MP: 18,560/18,560 Race: Demon  Element: Dark 2

Jotunn who hail from Jotunheim.]

[Large Gigantes LVL: 160 HP: 20,784,175/20,784,175 MP: 20,560/20,560 Race: Demon  Element: Dark 2

The Hrimthursar, are Giant Jotunn who hail from Jotunheim.]

[Ancient Gigantes LVL: 160 HP: 32,063,464/32,063,464 MP: 58,120/58,120 Race: Demon  Element: Dark 2

Ancient Hrimthursar, the elite Jotunn who hail from Jotunheim, is said that they survived the clash of the gods.]

While I keep myself a little busy with the dozens of enemies, they are really annoying and with the enormous amounts of HP they have I will really work hard to eliminate them, and to my bad luck the Valkyrie finished charging her spell almost immediately...

'What-!? What the hell is going on!??' I was completely sure that the Valkyrie had attacked me with some kind of laser beam, that I barely managed to dodge, but when I finally react, the attack had barely been launched, so I was already far from its path when the Valkyrie launched it...

"But how!? WHY!?" The Valkyrie is really surprised, to tell the truth I am the same... did I wake up Kenbunshoku Haki!??

'Wait a second... I think if I had an ability like that...?' However, the Valkyrie did not allow me to wait and analyze what happened, so now I find myself under a gravity spell.

"UNGH!" Next to me I can see Chaos succumbing, plus he has a large wound on his right side, if this continues he will bleed to death here... so without further ado I use my [Warp] skill and throw Chaos at it.

"NO! You'll not escape me!!" Immediately the Valkyrie wants to stop us but I don't allow it, although apparently she did something on the spot since the [Warp] skill was canceled after a few seconds of being active...

"Ah haha- hahaha!! You really were going through all that trouble hahaha....all for nothing!" The Valkyrie begins to laugh and during this time no monster attacks me, apparently they are very confident in their victory... "A pity, you tried so hard... and so it ends...the blessing of death is yo-!!??" 

Once again I surprise the Valkyrie by appearing in front of her thanks to [Body Relocation], however all my attacks still only cause 0 damage, I will really have to use that sword to hurt her...

"You still haven't learned now.... DIE!" At that moment she points her spear at me, and something strange happens, I can't move... I quickly look at my panel and see the problem... although even if I see it, I have no way to eliminate it!

[Cursed fate (15 seconds). Your destiny has been modified. Any type of movement is nullified, does not affect skills used before the user was cursed.]

"The Icy fires of Hel will eat you from within...Hahaha nothing will remain but a burn shell, obedient to my whims!!" At that moment his spear manages to hit me, creating a large amount of damage...

- 1,000,000 HP, - 1,000,000 HP, - 1,000,000 HP, - 1,000,000 HP, - 1,000,000 HP.

"Such power! Such life force! You are like nothing I've confronted before! It's almost as if you're not... human?" Every second I am losing HP, however I know very well that I can resist it... and fuck security, if this bitch wants to die I will get her wish.

The skill that prevents me from moving ends and I can clearly see how her beautiful face changes expression again appearing stunned, I quickly change my right hand sword, the one that I obtained in Skyrim, the only weapon in my possession created by a god.... and the light will shine for the first time in this world!!

Or at least that's what I hoped... I took out Dawnbreaker and used it and nothing happened? It was lucky that I didn't make any heroic poses .... Is this world so far from the light of Meridia that it does not reach it? Even so, it really is an exceptional sword and with it I managed to cut off the Valkyrie's hand, although this is strange since I didn't really hurt her much... how did I manage to cut off her hand?

- 2,245,589 HP.

Something strange happens again, and some my vision superposes with reality, although this time I am more prepared and I manage to understand it, something attacks me from behind, and in the vision I am clearly pierced by a sword in dark flames.

So I quickly move to the side, and before the Valkyrie's astonished gaze I use both of my swords to deflect the attack that was coming from behind me, proceeding to attack my enemy as soon as I see her making her move back, a beautiful black winged woman with blonde hair like gold and red eyes, using a black armor in rags....

[Valkyrie Randgris LVL: 141 (250 Weakened) HP: 141,205,000 /300,205,000 MP: 170,560/270,560 Race: Angel  Element: Holy 4

Valkyrie Randgris is Freyja's most loyal Valkyrie. It is said that Valkyrie Rangdris fought to protect Freyja, but sustained an unrecoverable critical injury and crashed into the land. After some time Randgris go back to her mistress to the final battle... but when she arrived it was too late... Odin's Temple was completely devastated and no one was left alive.... Now she is simply a shadow of her past, drowned in the madness of not being able to be there when she was needed most.]

"GRAAAGH!!" Letting out a scream, Radngris begins to attack me, using her sword and magic at the same time. I feel like I'm fighting a berserker, she is really skilled even when she is mad,  I wonder how powerful she was when she had all her power.

I have nothing left to do but back away and for a few moments everything calms down... in front of me I have several dozen giants and two... three really annoyed Valkyries... And knowing my luck, someone else is going to attack me from behind!! I look and nothing... I'm really very paranoid...

Suddenly I hear a crack and see a cloud of dust to my right and when I turn I see a figure that is entering... even though he has short hair now it is really difficult to forget a bastard like that... so now, with the arrival from Sakray I am against 4 MPVs...

I really have to give it my all if I want to continue this, one advantage I had is that I was only using my Lord Knight Job so far... so it's time to get serious. So without further ado and knowing that my holy weapon won't be of much use against those Valkyries, I quickly exchange it for a that I obtained when i defeated Amdarais before.

In front of me all the MVPs and 'mobs mvps' take their weapons and get into positions, I thought that at least Sarah Irine was going to be on my side after all she betrayed them but they don't even look at each other... something strange must be happening... 

A strange aura seems to be around them, to tell the truth it is barely perceptible but I can see how their eyes gain a reddish glow, but hey that's not really a problem. It's not like it's really going to change anything.

I immediately changed my Job to Rune Knight, finally releasing all my stats, creating a scene similar to when you release your Reiatsu in Bleach, making this flying fortress shake a little. Even so my enemies don't really react much at first...

Although clearly Sakray's face momentarily tenses, and then the shine in his eyes grows stronger and calms down, something is controlling them? Well as I said before this doesn't change anything, they are my enemies.

  And I start to cast all my buffs...

Author Note: Well, as you noticed, I won't really put explanations of the skills since it would practically be a lot of text and most of the people who are reading this have an idea of what they do. In addition to the fact that the skills are actually somewhat understandable because of their names

So you just have to remember that all the skills that Leonhard used give double the effects. An example is [Defender Lv 10: Damage reduction from long distance physical attacks: 160%]
