Mythology: Ragnarok

After dealing with the guards with his sword aura, Emma the wolfhound immediately turned his attention to Agreed and the others. He leaped into the air, sword in hand, and flew towards them. Upon seeing this, Agreed immediately unleashed more than twenty kinds of attack magic at him, but Emma directly condensed a battle aura armor to cover his entire body and withstood all the attacks.

Hea then summoned the thousand-year-old tree spirit, Sophie stepped forward with her sword, Shakda unleashed his bizarre inventions, Ike fired arrows from the edge, and Rayleigh quickly hid in the shadows looking for an opportunity.

But they were no match for each other. Emma gathered her fighting spirit and chopped the tree spirit to pieces with one strike, then whipped Sophie away with another. If it weren't for her good armor, Sophie would have been killed. The little creatures of Shakda were also affected by the sword energy and turned into fragments.

Ike seized the opportunity and fired his specially made arrow at Emma, ​​but Emma unexpectedly released her fighting spirit, catching the arrow like a giant hand and throwing it away. Rayleigh seized the opportunity to launch a surprise attack from behind, backstabbing Emma. Emma reacted immediately, but just as she was about to turn around and kill this overconfident thief, Hea intervened in time, summoning vines from the ground to tightly bind Emma's arms and legs. Then Rayleigh's dagger plunged into Emma's neck, but unexpectedly, the stab felt like it had pierced cotton; the usually invincible dagger bounced off after piercing.

Emma then used her strength to break free of her restraints and swung her sword fiercely. Just as Rayleigh was about to die, Agreed finally recovered his magic power and used a magical shield to protect Rayleigh. In the end, Rayleigh was only knocked away and was not seriously injured.

Agreed looked at the guy in front of him, named 'Wolfhound Emma,' with apprehension. As expected of a Grandmaster in his prime, his combat ability was much stronger than that of the already extremely old Kasa. In addition, the human equipment and skills made this guy a very terrifying killing machine.

Agreed sheathed his staff, drew his sword, and stood in front of Emma, ​​saying, "You who have come from afar, you'll have to get past me first if you want to touch them."

Emma, ​​the wolfhound wielding twin swords, grinned menacingly at Agreed and said, "Ah~, it really is you! Long time no see, Iz! How have you been these past few years?"

Upon hearing the name, Agred looked at the man in front of him in surprise. The boy who was almost gone from his memory overlapped with the man in front of him. Agred took a step back and muttered to himself in disbelief, "No, it's impossible. You should be dead."

Emma the wolfhound looked at him with a smile that was as ugly as could be and shouted, "Really? Did you see with your own eyes that those vicious dogs bit his throat and tore his intestines apart? Oh~ I forgot, you were only concerned with running away in a panic at the time, but I haven't forgotten!" As she spoke, she tore open her pants, revealing a well-preserved scar on her thigh.

Emma grinned through gritted teeth and shouted, "I have to thank you for that stab! Although it pierced my carotid artery and almost killed me, Kingpin didn't blame me. He even sent me to the Warrior Academy so I could return as his right-hand man. How long has it been? Eight years? Nine years? I'm sorry I was so focused on my training at the War Academy that I lost track of time, but I haven't forgotten you, Izzy! That bastard I saved and then turned on me! Thank you, Kingpin, today I finally have the chance for revenge!"

Agreed said with some guilt, "I didn't want it to be like this, but I had no choice at the time."

But Emma wouldn't listen. She raised her twin swords and instantly rushed to Agreed's side, swinging her swords at him. In a panic, Agreed could only swing his sword to block, and at the same time, he suddenly loosened his grip, letting the sword rotate along Emma's blade and onto the blade. At the same time, Agreed grabbed the hilt again and swung it forward, the blade slashing upwards towards Emma's neck.

Unfortunately, the enchanted sword, which was usually invincible, failed to pierce Emma's neck this time. That area should be one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body, but Emma somehow made it exceptionally resilient.

Emma turned and swung her knife at Agred's back. At that moment, Agred's armor immediately came into play, protecting him. Using the force of the blow, Agred rolled forward to create distance and looked at Emma from afar. Then Agred asked, "You've done well at the Combat Academy. Your body is so strong now."

Emma laughed and explained, "You can't learn such a powerful cultivation method at the War Academy. This is the 'Demon Spirit Armor Technique' that Lord Kingpin specially found for me. It involves being beaten until your skin is torn and bleeding, then soaking your body in the blood of demonic beasts, and then tempering it according to the incantation to make these bloodlines quickly condense in your body and inherit the excellent characteristics of demonic beasts. This gives me terrifying endurance, strength, agility, and even defense. I am much stronger than demonic beasts! So you are going to die here today. Even if the gods descend to earth, they can't save you. I said it!"

After hearing this, Agreed shook his head helplessly and said, "I see. I was wondering how you could possibly become a Grandmaster at such a young age, no matter how talented or hardworking you are. Don't you realize that Kingpin doesn't treat you like a human being at all?"

I've heard about your so-called cultivation method before. It's nothing more than tempering your body by introducing the bloodline of foreign magical beasts. Although progress is rapid, it's completely trading your lifespan and future! You'll never achieve legendary status and won't live past thirty. Moreover, your body will suffer excruciating pain every day from the erosion of the magical beast bloodline due to rejection reactions. Kingpin is just using you as a tool. Don't be foolish."

"Shut up!" Emma interrupted Agreed and swung her knife at him again.

Seeing this, Agred had no choice but to draw his sword and fight him again. For the past year, Agred had been studying the sword manual left to him by the orc swordsman Kasa. Kasa was indeed worthy of being called the orc swordsman. The sword manual he left behind was full of practical tips and useful combat techniques and moves. Although it did not have the fancy and cool sword techniques of humans, in terms of combat power, Kasa's simple and unadorned sword skills were the most effective in real combat and the most feared by enemies.

Agreed quickly overwhelmed Emma with his skill, forcing her to take the beatings. However, Agreed soon discovered that Emma's strength was increasing, and the frequency and speed of her attacks were constantly accelerating, as if she were tireless. Agreed soon found himself unable to keep up and gradually lost the fight.

Finally, Emma's powerful vertical slash with her twin blades numbed Agreed's arms. With his hands powerless, Agreed dropped his swords. Seeing this opportunity, Emma immediately channeled her fighting spirit and slashed again, cleaving through Agreed's heavily armored body. Then, she slammed her blade down on Agreed's head. With no way to dodge, Agreed could only slightly tilt his head, causing the blade that was originally aimed at his skull to strike his left shoulder instead.

Immediately afterward, Agreed instantly cast the sixth-tier spell 'Exploding Air' between the two, compressing and releasing the air to generate tremendous thrust, which directly blew the two of them dozens of meters away. After creating distance, Agreed quickly took out his staff, while Emma once again flew up and swung her sword down from the sky to slash at Agreed.
