526 Chapter 525: Aurea vs. Valkyries.
Aurea spread her wings and showed the Valkyries what real wings looked like. Brunhild and the others smirked as they spread their metal wings and then flew up high into the sky. Aurea didn’t hesitate and followed them into the sky while Rozan and the others watched her disappear into the clouds.
“What’s she doing?” Rozan asked as he covered his eyes from the sunlight.
Before anyone could answer his question, all the Valkyries flew up high into the sky faster than the speed of sound and broke the sound barrier. All of them were wearing full armor with weapons and shields in their hands.
“Looks like they’re going to spar with Aurea,” Sven answered as he gulped. “I have never seen all the Valkyries look so excited like that before,” Sven pointed out as he stared at the bright sky.
Aurea was surrounded by a total of forty Valkyries up high in the sky. Each one of them had different types of armor and weapons. She was wondering how strong those maidens were since Demon King Mahazael single-handedly got killed by Brunhild. The Demon Lords that he summoned were no match for them as well.
“What do we have here, an Evil Entity has appeared before me,” Freyja’s voice could be heard from behind Aurea.
Aurea turned around and saw Freyja in her gold armor covered in blue cloth and cape. She held two short swords and giant brown bird wings on her back. All the Valkyries flew toward her and floated right behind her since Freyja was their queen.
“It has been a while since I found a proper opponent. Let’s see what you got,” Freyja said as she held her Brisingamen necklace and buffed all the Valkyries. “Kill her,” Freyja smirked as she stared Aurea in the eye.
All the Valkyries flew in and started attacking Aurea from all directions, from above, below, sides, and back. It looked like pigeons fighting to get a piece of bread in the middle. Aurea was hidden inside with dark blood that dripped down like rain, but suddenly all the Valkyries got pushed away because of Aurea’s wings.
“That was…” Aurea was covered in her own blood, but the wounds had been healed because of her fast regeneration. “Quite a warm welcome you got there,” Aurea flew in toward Freyja with her sword in her right hand.
Before Aurea could reach Freyja, all the Valkyries were already around her and started attacking her again. This time, Aurea could block some of the attacks while the other Valkyries pierced their swords, spears, and lances into her body.
Brunhild managed to break through Aurea’s defense, and she didn’t hesitate to thrust her spear into Aurea’s heart. As soon as the spearhead made contact with Aurea’s skin, the spearhead broke and shattered into pieces. All the Valkyries who were in the middle of attacking took a hundredth of a second to look at the shattered spearhead.

“What’s wrong? I didn’t even make a move, and yet you all flew away?” Aurea asked as she gripped her sword so tightly that it made a small crack.
Freyja looked at the popped veins inside Aurea’s skin and face. The red veins on her eyes as she glared directly at Freyja which was different from earlier. She decided to join in and test how strong Aurea was based on how Aurea dealt with Satan and Behemoth.
Aurea watched Freyja fearlessly fly toward her with two swords in her hands. She then flew with her [Wrath] skill which had accumulated a lot of power since the beginning of the fight. She was confident about herself and swung her sword at Freyja in the blink of an eye, but to her surprise, Freyja dodged it.
“Now that’s what I like!” Aurea turned around and swung her sword dozens of times in half a second.
Freyja kept her eyes focused on Aurea’s eyes as she dodged all the attacks and didn’t even try to fight back. It made Aurea so pissed and fueled her [Wrath] into power, but even so, she couldn’t land a single hit. Suddenly, Freyja’s left knee hit Aurea’s chin from below. Aurea was stunned and in disbelief that she didn’t see it coming. Freyja used the opportunity and slit Aurea’s neck so quickly that Aurea didn’t realize it until she felt a sting on her neck.
“What just happened…” Aurea mumbled to herself as she looked at the blood in her hand.
“You’re inexperienced, that’s what happened,” Freyja answered as she stared at Aurea with a cold expression. “You’re going to join us in battle? With only that amount? Is Mykel really created you to help us or drag us down?” Freyja asked and looked at Aurea with her eyebrows furrowed since she was disappointed.
“Inexperienced? Me?!” Aurea glared at Freyja as more rage fueled her [Wrath] skill. “I’ll show you what I can do!” Aurea flew in as she activated [Harmony] and sucked all the energy inside the vessel stone with [Brute] skill.
Freyja could see the sudden burst of power inside Aurea’s body. She flew away and kited Aurea as she looked at Brunhild and the other Valkyries.
Aurea was faster and stronger than Freyja, but she still managed to dodge some of her attacks. She knew she couldn’t last long until suddenly all the Valkyries collapsed and fell to the ground lifeless. They all entered Freyja’s body and gave her powers that could even outmatch Odin’s.
Freyja dashed forward and helped Aurea’s head with a smile on her face. “Do you think you’re the only one who has tricks under your sleeve?” Freyja asked as she crushed Aurea’s face and then threw her down to the ground. “Isn’t this remind you of someone? The one you killed, your own past,” Freyja smiled as she flew in and put a weight on Aurea’s body that made her unable to fly away.
Aurea was overwhelmed by the pressure, but she immediately took everything under control. When she tried to change the tide, two swords were on her neck, and before she knew it, her head was already off her body.
Freyja held Aurea’s body and stopped it before hitting the ground since it would create massive destruction. She then grabbed Aurea’s head and stared at it with a cold expression. She knew that Aurea was still conscious since Aurea’s eyes were glaring at her.
“In war, it doesn’t matter if your enemy is stronger than you. The moment you underestimate your enemy, you die,” Freyja said and let go of Aurea’s head.
Freyja sent all the souls of the Valkyries out of her body. The souls came back to their bodies and immediately flew toward Freyja and showed their admiration by kneeling in front of her.
“That’s fucking awesome,” Sven grinned as he looked at Freyja wiping the blood off her swords while the Valkyries kneeled and their heads down at her.
“What is?” Mykel asked as he carried Elena in his arms since she was in her six-year-old body.
Everyone turned around and looked at Mykel who came with Jeanne and Elena. Sven told him what had happened, and Jeanne immediately looked around to find Aurea’s head. Lillith had already grabbed Aurea’s head and didn’t want to show it to Edith’s daughters.
Mykel brought Aurea back to life, and surprisingly, she wasn’t angry about it. She looked normal as if nothing had happened.
“That woman, she lost her senses because of something. That power she possesses is powerful, but it’s useless because she died because of it,” Freyja said to Mykel as she pointed at Aurea.
The [Wrath] skill overwhelmed all of Aurea’s senses and reasonings that made her lose the fight. She knew that and that was why she wasn’t furious because of her loss.
“Do you think you can train her?” Mykel asked as he looked at Aurea.
“Train her? I can do that, but what will I get in return?” Freyja asked back with a smile.
“Anything you want,” Mykel answered with a serious expression.
“Then I’ll train her until she’s befitting to join in our war later,” Freyja smiled as she chuckled.
