Chapter 611: Swindled
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
One strike smashed through the spirit soldier’s halo, but Li Yunmu didn’t stop there. The next second, he jumped into the crowd of spirit soldiers and went on a killing spree with the cyan divine blade in his hand. The countless milky white halos could not stop him.
By the time Li Yunmu was finished with his rampage, the twelve spirit soldiers were still intact. Even the spirit soldier whose arm had been previously cut off by Li Yunmu had already regenerated and was in perfect condition as if there hadn’t been any clash between the two sides.
Rubbing his hand on the hilt of the cyan divine blade, Li Yunmu asked with narrowed eyes, “System, these spirit soldiers, what exactly are they? In the momentary clash just now, I struck each of them at least three times so how...”
[Thought condensed beings,] the system answered. [Scandinavia has been annihilated, and all its gods have perished. Their spirit hall has shattered long ago, and the present Odin is nothing more than a copy created by humans. The spirit soldiers, thus, also aren’t the true spirit soldiers.]
After saying that, the system paused for a moment. [If you absolutely insist on wanting a definition, the spirit soldiers are similar to your shadows. They are absolutely loyal to Odin. Unless Odin desires to sacrifice them, they won’t die.
[The only difference is that the strength of the spirit soldiers is directly proportional to that of Odin, Moreover, they can only fight as they are and don’t increase Odin’s strength!]
“I understand...” Li Yunmu opened his eyes after understanding the system’s explanation and asked, “How should I deal with them?”
This was the first time that he had encountered an existence similar to his shadows. It wouldn’t fall even after being killed, which was an extremely thorny problem. Even if each of the spirit soldiers was only at battle sage level, they would still be able to tire him out to death after a sufficiently long period of time!
[Ding! Receiving data... All data received... System analysis... Analysis complete...]
After a series of beeps, the system slowly stated, [Given host’s present knowledge and strength, if you want to deal with these spirit soldiers, there’s only one method—just kill them and kill them again until Odin can’t congeal them again!]
The system then transferred more information to Li Yunmu, which clearly mentioned that the spirit soldiers were the incarnations of Odin’s thoughts. Although they didn’t have a limit on resurrection like Li Yunmu’s shadows, every time they were killed, Odin would receive some mental damage.
As long as Li Yunmu continued killing them, the spirit soldiers would continue getting weaker, to the point where they couldn’t be congealed again!
“Enough! Mortal!” Brunhilda furiously shouted.
She clasped her hands, and a spear with a completely black body and the tip which resembled a purple heart appeared in her hands.
A heart chilling pressure burst forth from Brunhilda holding the long spear. She then pointed the dark purple tip at Li Yunmu and coldly said, “We are currently dealing with the internal problems of our Scandinavia, so if you mortal continue getting involved, you will have to pay the price!”
Looking at the peculiarly shaped spear, Li Yunmu’s complexion became increasingly more gloomy. This time, without needing his reminder, the system had quickly transmitted the information about the spear into his mind.
“Until Death Do Us Part, what sort of name is this. Furthermore.....”
Li Yunmu looked at the long spear with a strange look and mumbled, “This spear’s user will slowly fall in love with her opponent. The stronger her love toward her opponent is, the more strength is supplied by the spear. Are you sure that this isn’t a joke?”
At that moment, Li Yunmu was beginning to feel that for some reason, he was unable to look directly at the weapon which could be rated as a divine weapon.
“Sleipnir, as your former companion, I can give you one opportunity to explain why you betrayed our master.”
Brunhilda’s gaze fell on Sleipnir, and she went directly to labelling him as a traitor.
“I never betrayed my master. I only hope that he could be freed from slavery!”Sleipnir replied without displaying any emotions.
“What a joke!” Brunhilda bellowed. “My god has never been enslaved. He is the grandest paramount existence. How could he be enslaved by others? A damned traitor like you actually dares to slander my god!”
Li Yunmu slightly shook his head and gave Brunhilda a pitying look.
If the spirit soldiers were creatures created based on Odin’s thoughts, then Brunhilda should be his arrogance.
With the secret genetic code planted in him, he had no option but to comply with the commands of the ambitious people. As time passed, he had probably began to believe from the bottom of his heart that he was a grand and supreme existence. Like that, he deceived himself into believing that the relationship between him and humanity was that of a god and their believers.
[Ding! Yellow alert! System recommends that if host plans to battle, he should end it quickly!]
After sending a light alert, the system vaguely stated, [If host battles with Brunhilda, this lassie will quickly fall in love with host. At that time, if neither of you will be able to kill the other, the matters will get quite complicated.]
Li Yunmu gloomily moved his gaze toward the alert box and coldly stated, “Don’t speak about these useless things. Just the twelve spirit soldiers are sufficient to make me drink a pot of wine. I can’t help you with this Brunhilda!”
“Mortal, this is my final warning to you! This is an internal matter of our Nordic Country. You best not interfere, or the fury of our entire country will drown you in torrents upon you, and you will not be able to endure!”
When Brunhilda looked at Li Yunmu, she maintained her ice cold complexion from beginning to end. There was defiance and authority in her tone as if she didn’t want to bother with a mortal like Li Yunmu.
“Lord, and this youngster, I will request you to do something.” Sleipnir lowered its head once more and said in a heavy tone, “You must free my master!”
As its words fell on the ground, Sleipnir turned into a white light and took away the twelve spirit soldiers away from the battlefield, leaving behind only the woman with the Until Death Do Us Part spear in her hand who was gloomily watching Li Yunmu.
A hint of confusion appeared on Li Yunmu’s face, and he instinctively retreated two steps. “This matter isn’t related to me. “I haven’t attacked you once, so if you want to chase after them, do it!”
But at that moment, the words that came out of Li Yunmu’s mouth were different. “You are such a young lassie, but still possess such heavy killing intent. I don’t care about the problems of your Scandinavia, but if you want to chase them, you’ll have to do so by stepping over my dead body!”
Upon saying that, Li Yunmu immediately understood that he had been swindled by the system!
