----

Frey has yet to complete the quest that was assigned to her the moment she became a Valkyrie. She did not give up and always hunted down Eldritch whenever she caught his trail. The only problem is that the bastard is one slippery individual which is why she has yet to kill him despite her becoming stronger.

"Frog in your throat? Or are you suddenly scared to come and face me one on one." Frey mocked Eldritch with his usual lines against her.

Eldritch wanted to go towards the dark god but Frey is not letting him take another step. He rather not wastes time on Frey as he knows that he will be victorious in their clash. He rather not wastes time against her when he could bring utter chaos in this world.

Due to the numerous times that Eldritch refused to fight with Frey, she searched for a skill that will force him to battle her or face dire consequences. She immediately knew that Eldritch is not interested in the battle as he is looking at the area where the dark god is.

Smoke started rising from Eldritch' body again which is why Frey is forced to use the skill she looked so desperately for. It is a one-of-a-kind skill that has the Unique tier since there is only one type of that skill in the entirety of Pandemonium.

"Duel!" Frey stated as she pointed her spear towards Eldritch and his movements spell suddenly got cancelled.

-------

A flag with a logo of two swords clashing suddenly descended from the sky. It also marked the area around them with a translucent barrier that somehow obscures them from the real world. Eldritch did not show it immediately but he is boiling with anger right now because his fun has been delayed.

"You think I will not get a skill that will stop you from running away? You have looked down on me for far too long. I guess, it is time for you to get dragged down back to the ground." Frey stated as she used Iridescence.

"You bit...!" Eldritch stated but his words are cut short by a spear piercing his stomach. 

Eldritch did not even notice that Frey moved but he only thought that as a fluke since he was not prepared. The skill Iridescence not only warmed up Frey's body, but it also buffed her attack and made her attacks into range ones.

Frey would just swing her spear and waves of iridescent energy is fired towards Eldritch. Eldritch used a mana shield to block the energy waves but the attack bypassed the shield and hit his body. This time Frey used the actual spear to poke at Eldritch unlike before when she relied on ranged attacks which she was not proficient at.

Each thrust of her spear made holes on Eldritch's body and would deal lots of damage towards Eldritch. He could not even cast a spell because the spear that Frey uses can cancel out mana coalition which meant that it would disperse the magic being cast by the individual hit by her spear.

Eldritch thought that he still has the 'pseudo revive skill' which is why he did not bother trying to attack now and just waited for his first death. He would then torture the desperate bitch after he gets revived. She will not stand a chance when he is serious.

What Eldritch did not know is that Frey already activated all her best buff skills. She did this because she wants to kill Eldritch quickly since he excels in drawn out battles. All the spells in his arsenals have a delayed effect like an explosion or status effect which is why she does not want to waste time.

Eldritch' body did not last long, and Frey finished him with a spear through his heart. Eldritch smiled as he would now start the process of 'pseudo revival' but he suddenly frowned when the system notification did not appear. For the first time, Eldritch felt like the world did not revolve around him as his body started to turn into particles of light.

[The player Eldritch has lost the Duel between Eldritch and Frey.]

[1% of all of Eldritch' stats will be transferred to the winner of the Duel, The Player Frey.]

[You have completed the quest Hunt for the Envoy of the Dark Gods.]

[Talk to the leader of the Valkyries for you chance to participate in the Valkyrie Ascension Test in Valhalla.]

[You have gained a new quest.]

A look of indignation and anger could be seen painted on Eldritch's face. He was also given the effects of the Duel skill before the battle started but he did not bother checking it which is his downfall. In the duel, whoever loses will be forcefully retired which means that the life that you have when you enter the duel is your only life.

Eldritch' arrogance and haughtiness with his personality that looks down on everyone else made him lose the duel. If he forced himself to fight earlier then he might have a fighting chance to kill Frey. Frey smiled with satisfaction because she earned this victory and her long-time revenge against Eldritch has been fulfilled.

She planned it perfectly to the point that even she praised herself for doing a great job. She also knew that Eldritch had a pseudo revive skill which Adrian told her about. Thankfully, she already tested the Duel skill on boss monsters that revives in their second phase and they did not revive when they got killed when duel was active.

Frey did not even bother looking at Eldritch who started becoming particles of light as she started to go towards the imperial capital. She needed to kill the dark god as the new quest appeared when she cleared her quest in killing the Envoy of the Dark Gods.

Help in Getting Rid of the Dark God

The Goddess Freyja has tasked you to defeat the dark god that descended to the world in order to ensure the peace. You must call upon your Valkyrie sisters to join you in this fight by using the horn that is given to you when you became a Valkyrie

Difficulty: SS

Reward: Mythical Valkyrie Skill Book

Reward Condition: Call upon the Valkyries and banish or kill the dark god that descended in Nebulon.

Failure: Level -5

Failure Condition: Dying two times

Duration: None

----

The skill that she will gain will be a Mythical tier skill book, but the failure condition is two deaths. She did not hesitate in accepting mission because she is already in the area, and she will have the help of the Valkyries. The other races are also doing great against the dark god as of now which is why she summoned her Pegasus and rode towards the fallen imperial capital.

"I hope Equinox is there. It has been so long since we have met. How strong has he already become?" Frey stated as she flew towards the fallen imperial capital with lightning speed.

====

Adrian is having the time of his life watching his contribution score rise up exponentially because of the nether mist buff that he gave everyone. Despite not being able to directly damage the dark god, he shot towards first place. Levin Cloud shot towards second place because of his heals and crown controls.

The dark god felt like a caged octopus on land with many of its tentacles being chopped and burned. His tentacles might have the ability to regenerate instantaneously but that does not mean its health will be affected. The dark god could not even hear the voices of its followers because of the pesky mist that is covering the battlefield.

The dark god could only wait for its chance to attack the demon responsible but that demon is just observing while others do the dirty work.
