Chapter 29: The Valkyrie Lives In Valhalla

"You'll die if you ignore me too much,"nove(l)bi(n.)com

Valkyrie's heart skipped a beat as a voice whispered from in front of her! Floid! She quickly swung her sword around to try and attack him but the sword was stopped dead in its tracks by two fingers! Valkyrie's eyes widened! What the hell!?

Floid held the sword for a moment before he felt a sting on his fingers. His skill [Greater Hardening] allowed Floid to strengthen his skin to very high levels so long as he had enough mana. Floid had more than 150,000 mana points now, so he could strengthen his skin till it was almost as tough as a diamond! But still, how come I'm feeling pain? Oh, that's right. How could I forget about one of the most annoying things about the heroes? The holy blessing.

Floid let go of the sword and allowed Valkyrie to jump away from him. He completely forgot that there was a blessing that protected all the weapons of the heroes. That blessing was granted by the human god. It was a very deadly thing to use against a demon and that is why every hero was able to kill demons quickly.

Floid watched Valkyrie smile viciously when she saw the burn mark on his fingers and he ignored her as he activated his other skill [Healing]. His finger quickly started to heal up and before even a second, it was all gone. Floid then picked up a stick from the side of the road! He held it in front of him and then he motioned for her to come.

Valkyrie grit her teeth as she went mad with anger! What doe he think he is doing!? Is he trying to taunt her!? How dare he!? He actually thinks that I will lose to a stick!? Valkyrie jumped after Floid in anger and slashed at him with all her might!

Floid parried!

With a stick!

Valkyrie couldn't believe her eyes! And at that moment when she was distracted, Floid charged forward and slammed his stick into the solar plexus! Valkyrie felt all the air leave her at once and she gasped before falling to her knees! But she didn't stay like that for long as she quickly stood and slashed at him with a vengeance! This time, her slash was twice as quick as before! The hit that Floid gave her just now was damaging enough to increase her speed drastically!!

Floid dodged and then he slammed the stick into her lower back! Valkyrie was the sort of person that never bothered to use any body-strengthening magic. It would reduce the effects of her [Kinetic Rebuff] if she did! She wouldn't be able to get as much strength if she doesn't receive maximum damage! And so her body was the same as any regular human!

So, when Floid used his reinforced body to swing the stick at her back, there was a loud 'Snap!' that echoed across the road and Valkyrie suddenly fell to the ground! She couldn't feel her legs anymore! Was that her spine!?

"Hey, Valkyrie. Do you not know who you are fighting against right now. You still have the thought that I'm the hero in your head and you are fighting while thinking that you will beat the hero. I'm not a hero and I don't think I ever truly was. Now, who was the one that planned my murder?"

Valkyrie grit her teeth as Floid pressed harder on her broken knee! She tried to reach for her sword again but she was completely out of Mana! She couldn't even move!

Crack!

Another crack echoed from her other knee and she immediately shouted!

"It was the princess! She was the one that planned it! You were just too annoying with your stupid self-righteousness! If you were a bit more sensible you would have noticed that she hated you!! She was afraid that you would take the throne of her kingdom from her and she killed you! Is that what you wanted to hear?"

Floid didn't actually think that she would give up her accomplices so easily. Well, at least he now knows that they all have no love for each other. They might have fought together but that didn't make any of them friends. Floid never really liked any of them.

Floid walked past Valkyrie and took up her sword before she could reach for it. The stinging sensation burned across his palm as he held it and Valkyrie thought he would drop it immediately, but she was shocked when he didn't!

Floid increased his [Greater Hardening] skill and he could feel the burning sensation lessen till it completely disappeared. If they want to use a holy object against me then they should bring their god himself. Maybe that will be enough to make me die.

Floid put the tip of the sword on the back of Valkyrie's neck and Valkyrie sighed as she realized she would die. So this is how she goes? She didn't fear death, but she never thought that it would be the former hero that kills her! The acceptance she showed was impressive and so he decided to give her a quick death as he plunged the sword down into her neck and ruptures her windpipe!

Squelch!

If she had tried to shout or even beg, then Floid would have made her death even worse! Hmm. Does that make him a sadist?
