516 Valkyrie vs Sun

Dozens of kilometers away, another fierce battle was happening.

Kilometers of forest had been scorched, and traces of destruction could be seen everywhere. It was the result of the battle of two supreme powerhouses.

One of them was a silver-haired girl with two energy wings behind her. She was wielding an energy sword in her hand, and countless weapons made of energy hovered behind her.

Right now, Regina was in her strongest state. She was using every speck of energy to defeat the man in front of her.

A figure surrounded by flames. His eyes were like torches, and his breath like fire. His entire body was made of flames and he held a fire greatsword in his right hand.

The Sun God.

But even after squeezing every drop of energy out of her body, Regina could not gain an advantage against her enemy.

Quite the opposite, she could barely resist him.

[I admire your courage. Not many mortals can stand in front of me without fear.] The flaming man stated amusedly.

Regina did not reply. She just narrowed her eyes as she contemplated how to get rid of the Sun God to go to help her master.

[I'll give you another opportunity. Tell me where the Heart is.]

"I don't know."

[You are lying.] The god stated, and his gaze turned cold. [Do you really believe you can stop me?]

"I do."

[Foolish mortal.] The Sun God laughed, but his eyes only showed anger. [Just a doll with an incomplete soul. It seems that the part of your soul that you lack makes you ignorant.]

Regina's eyebrow twitched.

It was not surprising that the Sun God noticed her uniqueness. She did not think she could hide it from him in the first place.

But she hated it when he called her a doll.

[Last chance, doll. Tell me where the Heart is.]

"Screw you."

[… If you wanted to anger me, you have succeeded.]

In the next instant, a domain of flames expanded with the Sun God as the center.

Flames blanketed kilometers of forest, creating a fiery inferno that could kill anyone below demigod in less than one second.

Regina felt the heat increasing and her expression became tense. The temperature climbed to one thousand degrees in just a few seconds, and it continued increasing.

Just resisting this extreme temperature consumed a lot of her energy.

[It looks like I need to show you the power of a god before you submit.]

With a dignified expression, the Sun God dashed towards Regina!

'So fast!' Regina exclaimed in her mind. She could hardly follow his speed with her eyes!

The Sun God appeared in front of Regina in an instant. His sword of flames burned brightly as it descended toward the silver-haired girl.

Regina's expression hardened. She barely managed to raise her energy sword to receive the sword of flames.

*BOOM!!!*

The clash between the weapons created a whirlpool of fire that consumed Regina. One instant later, she was thrown down by the force of the impact.

Nevertheless, Regina was uninjured. In the last second, she had focused a huge amount of energy on her energy sword, allowing her to defend herself against the attack.

But she still had a grave look on her face. Instinctively, she ordered the weapons behind her to attack.

In the next second, the flamed man jumped out of the whirlpool of flames. He brandished his sword, creating a wave of fire that swept away every one of Regina's energy weapons. Next, he extended his hand Regina's direction and shoot a fire beam toward her.

Regina's wings encircled her body, blocking the beam of fire. At the same time, several energy balls appeared around her wings, shooting back dozens of energy beams.

The Sun God easily avoided them. His flaming body flew through the sky unimpeded and closed on Regina while countless projectiles of fire were shot from his body.

The Valkyrie flapped her energy wings, creating a surge of energy that clashed against the fire projectiles. She then flew backward as she tried to distance herself from the god.

Unfortunately, her speed was far inferior to the Sun God's. In just a couple of seconds, the Sun God caught up to her and swung his fire greatsword with the intention to cut her into two.

Regina's reflexes allowed her to avoid the attack. Her body spun aside as she swung her energy sword towards the Sun God's neck.

But the Sun God just extended his hand, grabbing her energy sword.

Regina's eyes opened wide.

In the next instant–

*BOOM!!!*

The Sun God's fist hit her chest, throwing her against the ground.

*Bam!*

The crash created a crater dozens of kilometers long.

"Cough…"

Regina stood up coughing. Fortunately, she had managed to protect herself with energy in the last instant, so her injuries were not grave.

But her situation was not good.

The wings behind her back were slightly dimmer than before, a sign that she was her reserves of energy were falling short.

It was the first time since she was created that Regina's energy could not keep up with the battle.

[Are you ready to tell me the location of the Heart now?] The Sun God asked indifferently.

Regina just sneered and held her energy sword firmly.

But just at that moment, Regina noticed something.

Startled, she looked at the sky before looking in Bloed's direction.

'It can't be!'

[Master, don't use that thing! It's too dangerous!] Regina shouted to Bloed through their mental link, but Bloed was too busy trying to calculate the effects of the nuclear explosion to listen to her.

"Damn it!" The Valkyries shouted and flew in Bloed's direction without caring about the Sun God.

[Do you think you can escape?] The Sun God sneered and condensed his fire domain around her, turning it into a fire cage to stop Regina from escaping.

But the Valkyrie was not going to let it stop her.

With a roar, she swung her energy sword.

"Break!"

And the fire cage was cut.

Without herself being aware of it, her incomplete soul started to tremble.
