Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 768 Next Destination, Alfheim
On the ice field, in front of Somur's head.

Everyone had left, leaving only the giant's corpse lying quietly in the snow.

But at this moment, a blue light emerged among the large area of ​​traces of brutal battle, and then Li You stepped out of it and appeared on this land again.

He looked around, making sure there were no signs of other people, then nodded.

There are many things that Balder doesn't know. Another key thing is that although Li You himself can also teleport his companions through space, he has to exit from where he entered.

But for Balder, Li You performed a teleportation with an extremely long reading time, and then did not even leave any breath. He naturally thought that Li You must have teleported over an extremely long distance, even across countries, to completely get rid of his tracking.

In addition, he still had to deal with his two nephews, so Balder left.

——These are all within Li You’s calculations.

The annoying and dangerous Aesir were gone, and he could now continue his unfinished task.

After fighting with Manny and Modi, Li You roughly understood the fighting power of the gods in this world. Objectively speaking, his current strength is still slightly insufficient.

For example, when facing Manny and Modi, he relied on the Fire Field and half-dragon transformation. Of course, the title of God Slayer was even more crucial.

It should be noted that the effect of the God Slayer title is to increase the "damage" to divine creatures. In other words, it will only be effective after hitting the opponent.

After this battle with Manny and Modi, Li You determined a key point, that is, if his attack was blocked by the opponent, then this title would not take effect, and he must hit the opponent solidly.

Although this feature caused the title's bonus to be less than expected, it was still crucial. Without the effect of this title, the wave of Esti meteorites and cosmic rays might not be able to defeat Manny and Modi. If Li You wanted to deal with them, he would have to use his trump card.

It is so troublesome to defeat Manny and Modi. If one wants to deal with Balder, one must use one of his trump cards, which is complete dragonization. However, this land suppresses external divine power, and the dragonization may not last even for a minute.

Not to mention how to lift the seal of the Immortal Slash, Li You currently has no idea.

If he wanted to understand the rules of this land, it would be a good idea to ask Freya. But the problem was that if he asked Freya about the Undying Slash, the former Queen of Gods, who loved her son dearly, would probably turn against him on the spot...

So let's look at this later. The key now is to get Somur's magic chisel as soon as possible.

Of course, Li You also knew that if he lured Balder back now, the same old trick would be useless.

But he also already had other plans, different and better than the first two.

Li You came to Somur's head, looked at the head which was half on the ground and half frozen under the thick ice, and closed his eyes.

His mental power extended outward, and began to follow his previous memories, trying to establish a connection with something he had placed in Somur's body. As the extended mental power fluctuated slightly, Li You knew that he had found it.

At this moment, Li You felt that his senses extended out and synchronized with "something" inside Somur's body, and the scenery in front of him also changed.

But in the vision on the other side, all he could see was haziness and darkness.

But this is enough. Li You calmed down and began to extend his consciousness along some vague perception.

"Boom boom boom——"

An echo spread out, and on the snowy field, the giant's body covered by the wind and snow actually slowly raised one arm!
Although the amplitude was small and the movement was extremely slow, it was indeed moving.

But Li You still didn't open his eyes - the target was wrong.

"Boom-"

There was another muffled sound, and Somur put his hand back. Li You continued to look for the correct path.

After trying twice, finally, with a series of crackling sounds, Somur turned his head a little bit, revealing a small crack on his face.

enough!
Although it was just a small gap for Somur, it was enough for Li You to pass through the gap and go down.

Without hesitation, Li You dodged and crawled into the gap, then climbed up to the platform under the ice along the right half of Somur's face and the other end of the chisel that pierced through his temple.

This is also the place where Kratos and his son fight against the brothers Manny and Moody in the game. Li You went down to the platform, pulled out the spiral sword, and knocked off a small piece of the cone from the tip of the chisel that was still emitting orange-red light. This small piece met Li You's needs.

At this time, the system prompt popped up.

【Ding! 】

[Main Quest 2-1: Obtained the fragment of Somur's magic chisel, completed, new quest unlocked. ]

[Main Quest 2-2: Go to Alfheim (in progress).]

Li You raised his eyebrows.

Alfheim? Isn't that where Kratos and his son are going next?

Are the goals and routes finally consistent with Kratos this time?
However, as for going to Alfheim... there is only one way at this stage, that is to seek the help of the forest witch, goddess Freya.

"So, I wonder where Mr. Kui and his son are now? They should not have gone up the mountain yet?" Li You thought.

But at least we should have reached the Temple of Tyr.

There was no point in thinking too much. Li You stretched out his hand and shot out a grappling hook, which hooked onto Somur's beard on top of his head. He used the momentum to pull himself onto the ice. Then, with a "bang", Somur's head was stuck back in. Except for a few more cracks in the ice, there was no difference from before.

Li You didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he turned around, patted Somur's face, smiled and said, "Grow up well!"

Then he walked towards the south of the ice field.

Another point worth mentioning is that because the water level of the Nine Realms Lake has only dropped once, a considerable part of the World Serpent's body is still soaked in the lake water, so the water level is relatively high, which has an impact even on the snowfield far away.

The simple dock where Kratos and his son got off the boat in the game was now submerged in the frozen river water.

Unfortunately, the fixed portal leading to the shortcut to the World Tree was also submerged in the river, so Li You could not use that portal.

But Li You also has a way to quickly return to the Lake of Nine Realms.

Yuzu was still healing, but the replica teardrop that didn't occupy the companion slot was attached to him, and the reason read some magic power to wake him up, and then let him change his form according to his will.

Then, behind Li You, a ball of bright silver liquid extended out, continuously growing, and finally turned into two pairs of dragon wings, one large and one small. Except for the color, the shape was exactly the same as Li You's in human form.

Then, Li You flapped his dragon wings and flew into the sky!
……

At this time, on the other side, Kratos and his son had just met Sindri, and learned about his mysophobia and his relationship with Brok. By the way, at Sindri's insistence, he let him adjust the Leviathan Axe.

However, Kratos was not as easy to talk to as Li You. He knew that Sindri had mysophobia, but he refused his small request of "please put the axe over there" without hesitation, and wanted Sindri to carry the axe over there. It was obviously just a small matter, and I don't know whether Kratos didn't trust him or had a bad taste, but he refused to agree anyway.

Therefore, when he had to take over the dirty, bloodstained Leviathan Axe and carry it to the anvil himself, Sindri couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "The previous one was easier to talk to."

Although he lowered his voice, he did not try to conceal it. In fact, he was just chirping softly for Kratos to hear.

But Sindri didn't expect that when Kratos heard this, his eyebrows immediately raised: "The one before? Did that man really go up the mountain as well?"

He suddenly asked in a sharp voice, startling Sindri so much that he almost dropped the Leviathan Axe. "W-what?"

"That man, an outsider covered with weapons." Kratos came in front of Sindri, his burly body blocking all light like a mountain. "You saw him too? Did he go up the mountain? Speak!"

Sindri was frightened by Kratos's aura and didn't know how to respond. Atreus came up and stopped Kratos: "Father, you scared others! Calm down, he can't speak like this!"

"I'm calm, kid." Kratos replied. For him, this might just be a slight increase in pitch, but Sindri obviously didn't think so.

Fortunately, Kratos understood that this was not the right approach, so he took two steps back and said, "This is very important, dwarf, tell me."

Sindri heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately replied: "That man, I did meet him! But after asking me about it, he found out that this mountain was not where he wanted to go, so he left a long time ago!"

Hearing this, Kratos was surprised.

That man didn't collide with them this time? It seemed that he really had nothing to do with their goal?

As soon as he thought of this, the oppressive feeling emanating from his body dissipated a lot.

Only then did Sindri dare to breathe deeply. Perhaps to relieve the remaining tension, he half-jokingly said to Atreus: "Oh, I just thought your father was going to tear me apart, hahahaha."

Atreus thought for a moment and said, "He does tear people apart with his bare hands... Oh, don't worry, it's only enemies of course."

Sindri: "...gulp. Yeah, yeah, hahahaha."

"dwarf."

At this moment, Kratos spoke again, and Sindri was startled again: "Yes, yes, what's the matter?"

"Where did that man go?"

"Oh, well, actually I always pay attention to the privacy of my guests, maybe I shouldn't tell you this..."

"Um--?"

"...Oh! But it doesn't look like you two have any conflicts, so I should be able to tell you, haha."

Under Kratos's gaze, Sindri immediately changed his words: "He asked me about the way to the Stonemason Waterway in the north, and asked me whether the current water level of the Lake of the Nine Realms would affect the topography over there, so obviously he should be... going there? I guess."

"Stonemason Aqueduct?" Kratos obviously had never heard of this place. He looked at Atreus again, but Atreus also shook his head.

When Atreus was young, he was always in poor health. When his mother was with him, she would tell him the legends and stories of this land. Therefore, Atreus, who had never been far away, actually knew more about this land than Kratos.

But he had never heard his mother talk about the Stonemason Aqueduct.

"...Forget it. Since we are not on the same path, it has nothing to do with us. Our only goal is the top of the mountain." Kratos quickly put it down and said, "Dwarf, is my axe ready?"

"Okay, okay!" Sindri had just wiped the handle of Leviathan Axe with a towel, and the rune stone on the handle was glowing.

"Take it, this is definitely much better than what my brother, that untalented guy, did..."

"Come on, Atreus, let's go up the mountain."

Kratos didn't listen to what he said. He picked up his axe and went climbing the mountain with Atreus.

The way up the mountain is not easy either. There are many contempt pillars set up by someone unknown along the way, which continuously emit poisonous magic. There are also quite a lot of undead warriors, nightmares, and even evil liches.

The lich is surrounded by a poisonous smoke similar to fog. This layer of protection can deflect Kratos' axe attacks, but Atreus' arrows are very effective against it.

Along the way, Atreus had grown a lot, and at this time, he cooperated with Kratos and quickly broke the lich's protective magic. Then Kratos strode forward, grabbed the lich whose poisonous mist had been temporarily dispersed, and tore it into pieces with a roar.

"It's a good thing Sindri didn't see this, otherwise he wouldn't dare to talk to you next time." Atreus joked on the side.

"That dwarf's thoughts have nothing to do with us." Kratos remained unmoved.

"Okay, I understand." Atreus also figured out some of Kratos' habits.

The father and son continued to move forward. They crossed the foothills and climbed rock walls. The altitude they stepped on increased all the way, and the mountain road was gradually covered with layers of snow.

After defeating a group of alien soldiers, nightmares, and an ogre on the main road of the mountain, Kratos pushed open the gate in front of him, and the main part of the mountain finally appeared in his sight.

However, on their way forward, halfway up the mountain ahead, there was a stone human face embedded in the mountain. A strange black mist continuously flowed out from the mouth and nose of the human face, and the mist continued to fall onto the only way up the mountain.

"What is that, father!?" Atreus was surprised because he had never seen anything like it.

"...I don't know." Kratos also frowned.

He tried to touch the black fog, but he couldn't penetrate it at all.

"We must find another way out." Kratos was very decisive. He didn't know what this was nor how to get through it, so he had to find another way out immediately.

Atreus was a little annoyed: "I really wish that witch was here, she must have a way to help us get through."

Just then, the voice of the man that Atreus had been talking about sounded behind them: "My magic has no effect on the Black Breath, and there is no other way up the mountain... Odin designed this a long time ago."

Atreus turned around with some surprise, and saw Freya appear behind him.

He immediately became happy and wanted to move forward, but Kratos suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"...Father?" Atreus was puzzled.

Kratos did not answer, but his eyes focused and looked behind Freya.

There, following Freya, came another man whom Atreus had never seen before. He had a handsome appearance that was very different from the people of this land, and he wore a robe full of weapons, and at his waist was a strange long sword that burned with fire.

Seeing that Mr. Kui was looking at him, he also looked over and gave the father and son a friendly smile: "See you again."
