Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 784 The Second Valkyrie
Soon, after listening to Li You's explanation, Freya's expression became extremely solemn.

"You mean... Orlune has a body and is imprisoned in a secret room in Alfheim? How can this be..."

Although she wanted to say it was impossible, the helmet that Li You took out was already irrefutable evidence.

Freya stared at the helmet in silence for a moment, then looked at Li You again: "...Orluen said that other Valkyries were also imprisoned?"

Li You nodded: "She asked me to liberate them."

"...If that's the case, these battles will be very dangerous." Freya said, "I don't want to hide it from you. The Valkyries are not only my friends and subordinates, but their existence is also crucial to maintaining the balance of the Nine Realms."

"It is because of the work of the Valkyries that the living and the dead in the Nine Realms can maintain balance. When they are imprisoned, the boundary between life and death will be confused, the underworld Helheim will be overcrowded, and the dead will continue to turn into undead and wreak havoc in various realms - just like now, and the situation will worsen.

"But it is extremely dangerous to fight against the physical Valkyries. Although I hope to liberate them and must liberate them, I also don't want you to take such a risk.

"After all, you are not even a resident of this land."

Li You smiled upon hearing this and said, "I am indeed not, but since it concerns the balance of the Nine Realms, I am willing to contribute."

"I came to you to see if you have any special techniques to share about dealing with the Valkyries. After all, you were once the Valkyrie King, right?"

In the world view of God of War, one of the nine Valkyries is called the Queen, and Freya was once that queen.

Freya was stunned when she heard this: "You have a deep understanding of this land."

It was not difficult to see from her slightly changing eyes that she was obviously starting to worry about her baby son again.

When Freya resurrected Mimir before, she seemed to have cast a spell on Mimir's head, preventing him from revealing Balder's weakness.

Whenever someone asked him about it, Mimir would only say, "Badur is invulnerable. Neither physical nor magical attacks can hurt him." He would not even realize this and would simply ignore the subsequent conversation.

So he repeated it to the end, and even Kratos could recite this fixed line.

Freya cast the curse deliberately because Mimir knew Balder's only weakness. Now seeing that Li You was so familiar with the legends of the Nordic land, she began to worry again.

But she thought about it and realized that no matter how much Li You knew about the legend, it was unlikely that he knew such a secret as Balder's weakness, and she couldn't curse Li You like she did to Mimir.

Finally, the matter of the Valkyrie was equally important, so Freya put aside her worries and began to explain the situation to Li You.

"The souls of the Valkyries cannot remain pure in the flesh. The result of being imprisoned in the flesh is that they will madly attack anyone who approaches... Of course, you already know this."

Freya said, "Each Valkyrie has her own unique fighting skills. I can tell you everything I know, but unfortunately, although I want to, I can't go with you."

"You also know that I cannot leave Midgard, and even if I could, I would not be able to fight. Odin has placed a curse on me, and I cannot harm any living creature with either weapons or magic. I will be of no help to you in your battle with the Valkyries.

"This is all I can give you."

As she spoke, she took down her long sword with light gold decorations hanging on the wall and placed it on the table.

"Trengowa, my sword. It is both a sword and a carrier of Vanir magic."

Freya explained, "I will add a spell specifically targeting the Valkyries. As long as you hold this sword, it will reduce the damage from the Valkyries. At the same time, if you stab them with this sword, it can temporarily affect the flow of their divine power, thereby weakening them. This is the only thing I can do."

As she spoke, she began to recite in Old Norse, casting a spell on Trengovar, then put it back into the scabbard and handed it to Li You.

Li You took the sword and nodded in thanks: "Thank you."

To be honest, the support Freya gave him was greater than he had expected. She even lent him her sword temporarily.

But he was still very curious: "Why do you know this kind of spell that is specifically used to weaken the Valkyrie?"

Freya was silent for a moment before she said, "Actually, this is just a spell I made using the little bit of Valkyrie power I had left over from the past. After all, I was once the Valkyrie King, and my aura can temporarily weaken their power."

"But please note that this ability is only effective against eight ordinary Valkyries. If it is used against the current Valkyrie King, it will be ineffective and will only retain the effect of reducing damage."

She reminded again: "The Valkyrie Queen controls all the abilities of the other eight Valkyries. She is more terrifying than you can imagine. If you see her, don't let your guard down. A moment of distraction could cost you your life!"

"The current Valkyrie Queen, Sigrun, right?" Li You nodded seriously, "I will pay attention."

He couldn't help but pay attention. When he was fighting the Valkyrie Queen in the game, he was pinned to the ground and hammered for a long time. She even almost stepped on him and he developed a strange habit, which left him with some psychological trauma.

That was just a game. Now I have to deal with Sigrun myself, which is no joke.

Freya was already used to Li You's well-informed information, so she continued, "In addition, if I'm not mistaken, it was she who made the other Valkyries possess physical bodies. This is exactly Sigrun's ability. So after defeating her, you still have to be on guard against any unexpected situations."

"Although I don't think Sigrun will stand on the same side as Odin, there must be something fishy going on, but it's always better to be careful."

Li You responded: "I understand."

Afterwards, Freya explained to Li You in detail the combat methods that each Valkyrie was good at, and also gave him some disposable magic rune stones, which were mainly used for healing and resisting damage.

Li You accepted it without hesitation, although he was not in great need of such props.

Then he thought for a moment and asked, "From what I have seen, there is a secret room in the cave below your house. Do you know about this?"

Freya was silent again, and then she said, "I was just about to tell you this. Sigrun once came to my place and built a secret room in the cave. But I didn't know it was used to imprison the Valkyrie."

"If it's just this secret room, I think I can go with you."

Li You smiled: "Let's go then."

One of the secret rooms where the Valkyrie was imprisoned was in the corner of the witch's cave. Li You and Freya, who was holding a bow, went out of the door. Together with Yuzu who had been waiting outside, they quickly found the entrance to the secret room. The conspicuous crystal magic seal was hanging quietly above the door.

"I'm afraid this magic seal requires a special chisel..."

As Freya was speaking, Li You had already taken out the fragments of Somur's chisel from his backpack and came to the door.

"Oh, you already have one." Freya was a little surprised, but it was not surprising after thinking about it, "Then open the door."

"Ding! Ding——"

After two consecutive crisp sounds, Li You found the node of the magic circle and stabbed the chisel down. The golden magic circle appeared on the surface of the crystal, and then shattered together with the crystal, and the door opened immediately.

Except that the passage is slightly longer, the main structure of this secret room is the same as the previous one. It is reached by a wooden elevator to the small arena below. The Valkyrie is imprisoned here, standing on the ground with her wings covering her body.

Arriving at the entrance of the arena, Freya looked at the Valkyrie on the other side. Although her true appearance was obscured by her wings, Freya recognized her identity at a glance.

"…It's Kara. They are really imprisoned." Her face was not looking good. "Odin, Sigrun, what are you doing?" Li You: "…"

Well, of course he knew it was just a name, but he just couldn't help it.

But from another perspective, the name of his eldest disciple is indeed too common.

The Valkyrie Kara, her armor is golden orange in color. According to Freya, she is good at fighting with a sickle, and can also use the aura of condensed divine power to launch attacks.

In addition, Li You remembered that in the game, she would shout "unfair" and then summon several undead warriors to join the melee, probably because Kratos and his son were playing mixed doubles against her.

In that case, Li You immediately raised his hand, and a blue teleportation array appeared. Another figure walked out. It was V who had not been seen for a long time.

"We've waited a long time this time." V held up the Thunder Moon Shadow and looked at the Valkyrie, eager to try. "Kara, right? Very good."

Li You had to remind her: "Don't underestimate the Valkyrie. You can't handle it with your current abilities. Don't try to resist."

V has been with him for so long, and she has never been left behind in terms of magic or equipment upgrades to improve her companions' strength. Her own legendary prosthesis has also been constantly upgraded, and her current combat power is still outstanding.

But obviously, there is still a certain gap between her and the current Youzi, and she is not as thick-skinned and tough as Youzi. The main purpose of calling her out is to share the pressure of the melee.

"Don't worry, I know." V is not blindly confident and can judge the strength of the enemy and ourselves.

Freya, however, looked at Li You's "summoning technique" with some doubt: "How did you... Never mind, that's not important. Madam, come here, I will cast some auxiliary spells on you."

Freya could roughly sense the level of magic power in V's body, and knew that she could indeed participate in this battle, although the risk was relatively high. But she did not intend to question Li You's decision, so she did her job well.

V is naturally not polite: "Thank you very much."

Li You also said: "Freya, you can't fight head-on, so I'm asking you to provide support."

Freya nodded: "I will find the time myself."

The preparations were sufficient. Li You nodded to everyone and walked forward.

The Fire Sword appeared in his hand, but this time it became a little smaller because he still held Freya's Trengovar in his left hand, intending to fight the enemy with two swords.

Li You walked forward slowly, and the shadow of a dragon man appeared behind him, blessed with divine power. As he approached to a certain distance, the Valkyrie suddenly moved!

"It's now!"

Li You shouted loudly and thrust out the fire sword in his hand!

The moment he drew his sword, the field of fire spread out, covering the entire arena. Divine power was condensed on Li You's sword, which pierced through the gap between the Valkyrie's wings and hit her chest heavily!
"clang--!!"

However, the collision actually made a crisp sound, and the Valkyrie Kara instantly dodged to the side, seemingly unaffected by Li You's previous attack.

Li You could feel that this Valkyrie seemed to be more skilled in defense than Orluun. She gathered her divine power to fight back the moment she was hit, so that his sword that was ready to strike failed to break the defense.

This is information that is not in the game, but it is exactly the same as what Freya said before.

So Li You also has a response.

Right behind him, Yuzu roared and rushed out with his shield! He had almost found the right position in advance and started to accumulate strength, waiting for the Valkyrie to fall into her trap. Sure enough, the Valkyrie Kara flashed to his side.

"Boom!!"

This time Kara failed to dodge and was knocked away by Yuzu. But she adjusted her posture in mid-air, spread her wings, gathered divine power in her hands, and then as she closed and threw them, they turned into a golden halo that flew at her at an extremely fast speed!

This halo was directed at Li You. It seemed that the Valkyrie Kara still regarded him as her number one opponent. However, Li You was also prepared. He crossed his swords and slashed the halo of divine power into pieces.

Then, V suddenly jumped up from behind Li You, waving Lei Guang Yue Ying, and scattered large amounts of golden lightning!
"Fuck-"

The Valkyrie was still not prepared for this move and was hit head-on by the lightning. Her body immediately began to tremble violently!

"good chance!"

Li You immediately rushed forward and slashed down with his sword!
"clang--!!"

However, there was another crisp sound, and Kara broke free from the lightning before Li You's attack fell. A golden sickle appeared in her hand, and she instantly deflected Li You's attack.

"Oh?"

Li You couldn't help but be a little surprised. This Valkyrie was really an expert in this area.

However, she was lacking in attacking. After deflecting the attack, she swung her sickle to fight back, but was easily blocked by Li You's double swords.

Seeing so many people on Li You's side, the Valkyrie Kara was not to be outdone. She immediately flew into the sky, spread her wings, resurrected several exceptionally strong undead soldiers from the ground, and pounced on Li You and his men!

The undead warriors instantly disrupted the formation of Li You and the other two. The Valkyrie Kara took this opportunity to raise her sickle in the air, condensing divine power on it, and was about to chop down Li You!

But that's it.

"(Old Norse) Rót——!"

A low shout was heard outside the arena, and a large number of vines instantly rose from the ground, tightly wrapping around the body of the Valkyrie Kara, and even dragging her down from the air!

The Valkyrie was also shocked, but was unable to get rid of it for the moment.

After all, although Freya has no direct combat ability, her vines are extremely strong. In the plot, they can even bind Kratos and make him unable to break free. Naturally, the Valkyrie Kara can't do it.

Kara wanted to try to unleash her divine power, but at this time, Li You had already arrived in front of her.

"Pfft."

With a slight sound, the Fire Sword pierced through her armor, leaving a penetrating wound in her abdomen.

Then it was Terengwa who stabbed into her body as well!

Li You held two swords in his hands, and the divine power was transmitted along the sword bodies, and then instantly exploded in her body!

"boom--!!"
