Omega Summoner

Chapter 1962: Facing Other Champions II

”Hello Princess!” The hooded woman stated as she used the axes behind her to parry the spear that is about to reach her face.

”The name is Frey!” Frey stated as she used her mana to produce a powerful burst of light that knocked back the hooded woman.

”I know who you are princess. I just called you that because you were the precious one of the Goddess Freyja. A goddess that has betrayed the people that worshipped her.” The hooded woman stated.

”I know about you. I have heard about you as you were the one rejected by the Valkyries.” Frey stated as she was not the only female player to accept the Trial of the Valkyrie.

Frey have learned from the other Valkyries that there were actually two other blessed children or players that found the Trinket of Northern Lights before her. Unfortunately for them, the first two female players fell short of the trial and were not accepted into becoming a Valkyrie.

She learned that one of them became an apprentice witch of a Grand Sorceress that was under the Norns. The other one became a huntress that followed under the tutelage of the God of the Hunt Ullr. Since she was a much greater hunter than a Valkyrie that dominates the battlefield. Frey already knew that she is fighting the Champion chosen by the God of the Hunt Ullr.

”I was not rejected. Your sisterhood is not enough for my greatness which is why I intentionally failed when I got the attention of the God of the Hunt Ullr.” The hooded woman stated.

”Sugarcoat it all you want but you have failed to get in and you must accept that, Champion of Ullr.” Frey stated.

”The Valkyries are overrated anyway as they are traitors to their own kind. The name is Ski if you want to know the lady that killed you today! Hiya!” Ski shouted as she tossed two of the axes she had on hand.

The two silver axes flew towards Frey, but she easily destroyed them, but those axes suddenly shattered upon getting hit. The shards that scattered became ice fragments that suddenly aimed at Frey. Frey tried to defend her entire body, but the numerous ice fragments bombarded her body.

”You should know that the God of the Hunt that I serve is on par with the God Odin. When the God Odin sleeps, it is my god that temporarily sits on the throne of Asgard to defend it. The God of the Hunt, Snow, and Winter!” Ski stated as the ice fragments returned back to her and reformed into the two silver axes.

”For a hunter, you talk to much!” Frey stated as she suddenly turned into a streak of light and arrived directly in front of Ski.

Ski defended her stomach as Freyʼs spear was now inches away from it, but she was not fast enough. With a powerful thrust, Freyʼs spear landed directly on the silver axes, and they were promptly destroyed like before. Unlike earlier where the fragments became a means of attack, Ski was sent flying towards a tree and crashed while the ice axe fragments just fell to the ground.

”So, you also need some mental ability to wield them.” Frey stated as she followed up with her launching her spear towards Ski.

”Playing games is over!” Ski shouted as she was caught off guard earlier, but she vowed to never let it happen again.

The ice fragments of the axe converged into her hands, but they now transformed into a bow. She pulled her bowstring with great power and used a lot of mana to create a powerful arrow that clashed with Freyʼs spear. The mana arrow that was released matched the earlier arrows that were launched at Frey and Adrian.

Once the spear hit the mana arrow, the mana arrow became numerous scattered particles of ice mana and blitzed towards Frey. Noticing the common pattern, Frey immediately activated the function of her cloak. Freyʼs cloak suddenly created a feathered mana barrier that protected her from the attack, but it shattered when it ended.

Frey called upon her spear, and it flew towards her hands. Ski did not miss this chance as she released a volley of arrows that all homed in on Frey. Ski is incredibly skilled as an archer and Frey even admits that she has better accuracy than Hou Yiwei. She might not have the destructive capabilities of Hou Yiwei but her accuracy is better than him.

Frey had to use her spear to defend by twirling it around like a baton to ensure that even the ice mana shards would not damage her. She noticed that all of Skiʼs attack explodes upon contact and turns into ice shards to deal further damage. Coupled with her great accuracy even when jumping, she was incredibly deadly as an archer player.

”Still, she is weak in close combat!” Frey thought as she once again turned into a streak of light and appeared in front of Ski.

”You think you caught me off guard again?! Winterʼs Shout!” Ski shouted as her voice activated a powerful shockwave of ice elemental mana that sent Frey flying by ten meters.

Frey managed to recover quickly by using her spear as a weight and plunging it on the snowy ground to anchor her. Frey is actually shocked because what Ski used was not simple magic or even a skill. She utilized ancient runes of power that the Nordic Gods used. Even she has yet to master the ancient rune given to her by the Goddess Freyja to use.

”Shocked, princess? Unlike you, I have been the Champion of the God of the Hunt Ullr longer than you have become the vessel of the Goddess Freyja. I am not the only one that has been a Champion for that long. My partner, Rascal, has also been the Champion of Loki far longer than your boyfriend being the Champion of the Twin Gods.” Ski stated.

It is quite true that Rascal and Ski have been champions of powerful gods longer before Adrian started the game. It is also true that they superseded Frey being the vessel of the Goddess Freyja as they have been champions before she was chosen. In terms of skills in using divine energy, one can say that Rascal and Ski are more adept in using them.

”First of all, he is not my boyfriend… well not yet” Frey stated but she muttered the last phrase with a lower tone.

”Second of all, I do not need to rely on divinity to take you down. I can easily defeat someone that was not qualified to become a Valkyrie.” Frey stated which angered Ski and the two of them started attacking each other once again.

Frey utilized her best spear techniques to combat Ski who can easily switch between a melee weapon and a long-ranged weapon. In fact, the battle of the two basically overshadowed the small battles happening around them as they destroyed the terrain with each clash. They were more dangerous combined and attacking wantonly which made the battlefield even more chaotic.

”You are weak, princess!” Ski stated.

”You are a dropout.” Frey responded.

The two of them continued on their clash until both of them knew that they were not going to kill each other at this rate. Ski might not like to openly admit but Frey is not an easy opponent when in melee range. She could try and divert her attention while in long range, but she cannot deal a defining hit.

”I call upon Winter and Snow! I call upon the God of the Hunt! Give me the blessing to complete the Hunt! God Descent!” Ski shouted as her voice echoed in the area.

As soon as Ski announced the Call of the Hunt, the place suddenly became colder as a snowstorm enveloped the area. The dark hood that Ski wore suddenly turned milky white as the snow while her eyes also became blue like ice. The symbol of the God of the Hunt Ullr appeared in the sky before merging completely with her body.

”You are not the only one that can call upon your god! Goddess Descent!” Frey shouted as the sky suddenly darkened and the northern lights appeared.

With a powerful flash of light, the northern lights converged towards Frey and made her strength explosive. Wings of colorful light surrounded her while her armor is also covered with the same light. She was freely floating the air as if gravity itself did not exist to bind her to the ground.

”Winter Storm Shot!” Ski shouted as she released her arrows towards Frey.

Instead of just one arrow, hundreds of thousands of ice arrows formed in the blink of an eye and launched towards Frey. Frey did not panic as her face is completely calm and composed. With a sweep of her spear, the numerous ice arrows were destroyed by a wave of northern lights. The divine energy of the two made all those that did not have them cower and hide to save their lives.
