Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 361 Valkyrie's Glass City
"Kill its master?"

Lu Mingfei frowned, his ears seemingly ignoring the option of "understanding the Nibelungen Rules".

"This is too difficult, isn't it? What if this guy keeps hiding and doesn't show up?"
Even if it were to show itself, wouldn't the creators of Nibelungen usually be high-ranking dragons or dragon kings? I don't want to start a war on its own turf.

What if he pours water in it?

Lu Mingfei wiped the rain off his face and said to Lu Mingze in an annoyed tone:

"I'm about to drown!"

"Isn't that just right?"

Lu Mingze's voice carried a faint hint of laughter:
"I'd rather have a quarter of my life than be trapped here to die by the masters of the Nibelungs."

"Please, please stop using that devil's bargain rhetoric," Lu Mingfei complained. "It's a miracle I even believed that back then."

Lu Mingze chuckled softly, his laughter sounding particularly ethereal amidst the rain: "Alright, alright, it seems that after your trip to that place called the Borderlands, not only has your strength increased, but your intelligence has also improved."

Lu Mingfei swung his sword and cut down a Death Servant who was trying to sneak up on him. Rainwater mixed with dark blood splashed on his face: "Stop talking nonsense. Now is not the time to praise me."

“However, there is one thing you don’t need to worry about,” Lu Mingze’s voice suddenly became more serious, “the master of the Nibelung will definitely show up.”

"Why are you so sure?"

“Because these poorly made ‘corpse guardians’—” Lu Mingze paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully, “or rather, heroic spirits? They’re not enough to kill you, brother. They’re just consumables; the real killing blow is yet to come.”

As if to prove his words, the rain suddenly became even more violent.

The already dim sky turned completely black, with not a single ray of light able to penetrate the thick clouds.

The seawater at the end of the street began to churn unnaturally, creating waves several meters high.

"Heroic Spirit?"

Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.

Lu Mingze's voice carried a hint of remoteness in the rain:
"Yes, these things are the prototypes of the so-called 'heroic spirits' who were taken to the realm of the gods by the Valkyries in Norse mythology."

Lu Mingfei stared intently at the surging sea, where countless pale arms seemed to be churning the water.
'So, I'm going to be facing Odin?'

“No, no, no,” Lu Mingze chuckled, his laughter sounding particularly ethereal in the downpour, “How could such a simple Nibelungen be the palace of that ‘false god’? At most, it’s just a vacation palace.”

When the ruler is away, he will definitely send his trusted ministers to manage this place.

"A subject?" Lu Mingfei seemed to realize something. "Loki? Thor? Baldr? Hodr? Or Tyr?"

Lu Mingze's voice carried a hint of mockery:

"Those you're talking about are all Odin's beloved sons. Think about your identity; you're an exceptionally powerful S-class hybrid, the hero who killed Norton. If you die, you should rightfully enter."

“Valkyrie?” Lu Mingfei’s pupils contracted slightly. “Valkyrie? He sent a Valkyrie to guide me?”

The moment he finished speaking, the waves on the sea suddenly calmed down.

A pale beam of light descended from the depths of the dark clouds, illuminating the churning sea.

The enormous figure slowly rose.

Lu Mingfei's pupils suddenly contracted.

Within that pale pillar of light, Valkyrie's true form finally appeared.

That wasn't a Valkyrie in silver armor at all, but an alchemical creation made from the corpse of a complete dragon! Its decaying body was covered in ancient armor, with layers of plates connected by bronze chains, gleaming with a dark metallic luster in the rain.

It spread its dragon wings freely, the wing membranes long since rotted away, leaving only a stark white skeleton stretching out in the pillar of light, like a banner of death.

It hovered in mid-air, its golden pupils like two giant candles, burning with a cold light in the darkness.

Lu Mingfei frowned, raindrops dripping down his jawline.

This looks exactly like the corpse of a secondary species.

He had killed a sub-genius and had also fought a creature that appeared to be a top-tier sub-genius in the Annihilation Well.

Does Odin really think he can kill him with a creation of this caliber?
"Don't let your guard down, brother," Lu Mingze chuckled, but his voice carried a warning, "Take a close look at her armor."

Lu Mingfei stared intently, his golden pupils slightly narrowing in the rain.

Those ancient garments were densely covered with complex alchemical matrices!
Each piece of armor was like a living circuit board, with a ghostly blue light flowing across the bronze chains, as if life were surging within them.

This is a terrifying weapon of war!

Lu Mingfei finally understood.

Living things feel pain, have weaknesses, and can become exhausted.

But this thing—even if you tear her head off, she might still fight you!

Because she was fundamentally driven by alchemy, she was a complete killing machine!
Lu Mingze burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the downpour:

“Go, brother! When you killed Norton, you sealed his Word of Power, using my power.”
When you kill the dust, you are facing a 'container' that is not fully awakened;
Now, even the mysterious figure from the Well of Annihilation might find this guy troublesome.

Let me see your strength, let me see just how much you've grown, let me see if you can truly stand on your own!

Lu Mingfei curled his lip in disgust, raindrops dripping down his bangs:

"You talk too much nonsense. If I really had a younger brother with a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) like you, I would beat him three times a day."

The alchemical corpse guardian let out a silent roar, its massive bone wings flapping violently, creating a raging storm.

The alchemical matrix on its body lit up simultaneously, and a dark blue light flowed between its armor.

The invisible domain rapidly spreads from the alchemical corpse guardian at its center.

A biting chill descended from the sky, instantly freezing the moisture in the air into ice crystals. The sea beneath our feet cracked and splintered into a solid ice field in an instant.

The temperature dropped sharply, and the exhaled breath froze into tiny ice particles the moment it left the lips.

The alchemical corpse guardian slowly raised its forepaws, which were covered in bronze armor. A dark blue alchemical matrix swirled wildly between its claws, condensing into a massive ice spear.

The spear was completely transparent, yet its interior surged with destructive energy.

Without warning, the giant ice spear tore through the air with a piercing shriek, shooting straight towards them with terrifying power that exceeded the speed of sound!

Lu Mingfei's golden eyes burned with intense light as he faced the massive ice spear that tore through the rain and uttered ancient and solemn syllables.

As he chanted the incantation, the air around him began to undergo strange changes.

The airflow on the surface of the field seemed to solidify, turning into layers of transparent crystals that refracted countless rays of light in the rain.

"Word of Power: The Crystal Brahma City".
