## Chapter 982 – Ancient Valkyrie

“Valkyrie!!! Look here!!!!!”

—BOOM!!!

As I walked towards the scene, I unleashed a Lion’s Roar infused with profound inner energy, shouting as loudly as possible. The sheer volume of my voice was enough to draw all eyes to me.

This wasn’t just for show.

“I, Kim Kat, the Dancing Paladin, will face you!!! So take my sword!!! Come and show me your skills!!!!!!”

It was also to clearly inform the knights that we were about to attack. It’s not good to act suddenly. I had to give them notice so they could react.

“Dancing Paladin!”
“The champion of the martial arts tournament has arrived!”
“If he’s here…!”

The effect was immediate. The knights who heard my voice reacted in various ways, focusing their attention. This should reduce the chance of accidents.

I almost started dancing to buff them, but I held back, thinking it might backfire.

“Just listen to that voice, damn loud. Yeah, a man’s gotta have a loud voice. That’s right.”
“Valkyrie!!!! Are you ignoring me!!!!!!”

Satisfied with Karin’s comment, I shouted even louder, but the Valkyrie ignored me.

Is this bitch ignoring me?
You’re dead meat.

“Let’s start by ganging up on her. Attack from three directions, and Cloudy, can you jump in at the right time?”
“I’ll be ready.”
“Good.”

That’s the plan.

“Kuaaaaaaaack!!”
“Uwaaaaaaack!!”

Even as I did this, the Valkyrie completely ignored me and continued to advance towards the sanctuary. With every swing of her fire sword, knights were sent flying.

There was no emotion in her actions.

It felt like she was simply removing obstacles in her path to destroy the sanctuary.

“That bitch is gonna get hit in the back of the head walking like that. Then she’ll realize, ‘Oh, that’s why I need to be careful.’ Let’s show that crazy Valkyrie what’s what!!!”

I tightened my grip on Vugal.

“I’m attacking now!!!!! Can you pull the knights back in time!!!”
“Understood!!!”

Someone shouted in response to my cry. Probably the commander of the defense forces. They must be getting pushed back so hard that they’ve swallowed their pride and decided to accept my offer.

“Then.”

I checked their faces one last time.

And signaled.

“Now!!!!”
“Disperse!!!”

—Papapat!

At the moment I shouted, the knights retreated to the left and right in unison, creating an opening. In an instant, the area was completely clear except for the last defenders right in front of the sanctuary.

“Let’s go!”

—Paaat!

At the same time, Karin and Liztina kicked off the ground and sped past the Valkyrie. They moved with the force of cannonballs, running to a suitable spot before slamming on the brakes and turning around simultaneously.

“Haaaaaaap!!”
“Die!!!”

They unleashed a massive amount of aura from their weapons and charged towards the Valkyrie.

—Paaat!

If those two older sisters took on the front at the same time, they shouldn’t be pushed back. If I attacked from behind in that gap, it would definitely be effective.

—Kwaang!!!

At the same time, I kicked off the ground powerfully.

—Kwaaaaaaang!!
—Kuuuung!!

As I flew forward, I heard a roar from the front.

All I could see was the Valkyrie’s back. Her wings were spread out to the left and right, so I couldn’t see Karin and Liztina properly. But I could tell that the Valkyrie was swinging her fire sword like crazy and shooting out holy rays.

And that Karin and Liztina were fighting back.

“This bitch is damn strong!!!”
“Kueueut…! We’re gonna get pushed back!!!”

As expected of an ancient Valkyrie.

She was bravely facing their combined attack, which was close to the strongest possible. Having assessed the situation, I reached the Valkyrie’s rear.

“Real Jang Sword Flame!!!!”

I decided to cut her in half, unleashing the cries of the innocent Korean-American merchants, the victims of the LA riots, living and breathing in my heart.

—Hwareureureureureuk!!!!!

Vugal, held high, was engulfed in blue flames.

—Aaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!
—Kkeuaaaaaaack!!
—No, no, noooooooo!!!

The painful screams and despair of innocent victims echoed in my ears. The sword flame, burning away those cries, fell like a guillotine. The tip of Vugal, now enhanced, shimmered with a mystical rainbow light.

And so, my blade reached the Valkyrie’s crown.

—Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!

The sword strike exploded.

Along with the intense impact felt at my fingertips, the energy of the sword flame exploded, and the profound mysteries of my Underwater Technique flowed into the Valkyrie’s crown.

The great physician Hwata, in order to calm the troubled times, realized that he needed to split open Cao Cao’s head. Thus, using Cao Cao’s headaches as an excuse, he created a fictional disease called “Du-pung” and tried to split open Cao Cao’s head, but Cao Cao, with his extraordinary brain, saw through the trick and instead screwed over Hwata and killed him.

Thus, even if you have an extraordinary idea, it is meaningless if it doesn’t work. Look at the reckless scientists who opposed the great and legendary Wright brothers. They also had extraordinary ideas, but they ultimately failed.

They failed to enforce their will.

In the end, succeeding with just an idea was absurd. In order to make that idea a reality, extreme preparation and intense effort must be accompanied. Only then can you reap the fruits of your labor.

Frankly, I personally think that “Du-pung” was a bit of a sudden rush. No one but the world’s greatest idiot would hear such a ridiculous disease name and allow their head to be split open.

Hwata, despite having the grand goal of splitting open Cao Cao’s head, did not put in much effort to execute his idea. He simply relied on his reputation and took a reckless gamble.

That was the cause of his failure.

But I am now.

Hwata from the world line where Cao Cao’s head was split open.

“Die, Valkyrie.”

I am Hwata Kim Kat.

“I will cure your Valkyrie madness with my death.”

The intense effort and extreme preparation were the practical experience I had accumulated so far, and the inhuman training I usually carried out.

There is no way that I, with all that, cannot split open Cao Cao’s head.

—As I realized that, an inhuman power seemed to surge forth.

And it did.

My blade was placed on top of the Valkyrie’s head. No matter how much of a Valkyrie she was, she didn’t have eyes and arms on the back of her head. She was busy dealing with Karin and Liztina in front, so she didn’t have the capacity to pay attention to me. That’s why my full-force attack succeeded.

“…!”

Having thought that far, time, which had seemed to have stopped, began to flow quickly again. At the same time, my blade, which had struck the Valkyrie’s crown, `descended.`

—Kuuung!

The Valkyrie knelt on one knee.

Unable to withstand the shock of being hit in the back of the head, her posture faltered. Strangely, the Valkyrie’s hair was not cut off, but the attack had definitely landed.

“Good!!!”
“I’ll kill you!!!”

Cheers erupted from the front. Karin and Liztina, wearing maniacal smiles, slammed their respective weapons down, striking the Valkyrie’s head and shoulders.

—Kwaang!
—Kwaang!!

The rare metal sword slammed down like a sledgehammer, and the gauntlet of the claw hand scattered blue aura, tearing apart space. Because it was a very good shape for grabbing something, Liztina was currently grabbing and blocking the fire sword.

—Sseogeosseogeok!!

I also didn’t miss the opportunity, grabbing the Valkyrie’s right wing and twisting it, using Vugal in my other hand to saw at it as if I were going to cut it off.

“I’m sawing, sawing, sawing!!!!”

Each time, the Valkyrie’s body vibrated.

It couldn’t be helped.
A sword was going into her wing.

“…!”

Could we actually win like this?

But even in that moment, the Valkyrie only tried to resist, without making any kind of sound. Did she not have a vocal cord itself? As I was thinking that, pouring out fatal killing blows,

—Pachik!!

The Valkyrie’s angel ring, which had disappeared, was created again.

—Pachik!!!
—Pachichichik!!

From that angel ring, light thorns the size of pencils shot out wildly, and electricity crackled.

—Pachangchangchang!!!!

An explosion occurred.

“Kkieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!”
“Kkyyaaaaaaack!!”
“Ssibaalaaaal!!!”

Their screams faded away. The momentarily generated flash of light captured my vision… Light! There was only light!!! Right now, I felt like a primitive man who had lived his whole life in a cave and was rescued by explorers!! My eyes are blinded!!! I can’t breathe, I’m shaking!!! Jijijiji!! Baebaebae!!! I can’t see anything but bright darkness!!!

But it’s dangerous to be caught up in the pain! I immediately straightened my posture and relied on my senses to defend.

When the flash went out, I quickly checked my surroundings.

“No, that crazy motherfucking bitch!!!”

The Valkyrie was airborne.
She caused an explosion and flew up.

“Eueut…! That crazy bitch dares to use such a flashbang!! I won’t forgive you!!”
“That bitch!!!”

They were also in defensive postures, similar to me. The two, who had burst into anger, pointed at the airborne Valkyrie and cursed.

“…”

—Gooooooo.

From the Valkyrie’s eyes, which were looking down at us, a brilliant flash was burning. In that state, the Valkyrie fluttered her wings gently and looked down at us.

—Chwaaaaa.

Once again, a halo began to shine from behind her. The halo that was shining down from there sparkled as if it contained grains of light.

“That bitch looks pissed?”

She looks damn pissed.

“Damn. What do we do now? Should we ask the mages to make that foothold for us?”
“Shouldn’t we?”

The Valkyrie was floating very high. Thinking about fighting her, I was really dumbfounded. Humans just can’t fly. We have to jump and strike, but that’s very difficult. We need the assistance of mages.

At that time.

—Pueooooeoong!!!

The Valkyrie, who had been looking down at us, fired a sphere of light from the tip of her sword. Flying at a transcendent speed, it looked truly murderous.

But it’s not something we can’t block.

We each took a defensive stance.

And.

—Kwaaaaaaaaaang!!!

A shield was created in layers in front of us, defending against the sphere of light.

“Our mages will support you!!!”
“Oh! Thank you!!!”

I reacted to the voice I heard and shouted. At the same time, the shield disappeared again. Looking up at the clear sky again, the Valkyrie was flying backwards as if she was trying to retreat.

“Hey, bitch!!! That bitch is running away!!!”

Karin exclaimed in shock.

Is that bitch trying to run away now that she realizes it’s not going to work?

“Whatever it is, we can’t let her get away!!!”

We can’t let her get away!
We have to drop her here!!!

“Sister! Let’s start that!!!”
“Start that…?”
“Yeah! I’ll jump, so swing your sword and hit the soles of my feet with the blade. That’s how I’ll fly! I’ll attack with that energy!!”
“Oh! You really have a good head on your shoulders!!”

Karin understood immediately.

“Liz-sister, do the same right away! Karin will send Liz-sister flying and then jump up! The mages will assist, so it’s a combined attack in the air!!”
“Okay!!!”
“Understood!!!”

We immediately carried out the temporary operation.

If we don’t hurry, that Valkyrie bitch will fly far away.

“Here I goooooooo!!!!”

I recalled the feeling of jumping high with Miss Isvant when we killed the Deathworm. I’m even stronger than then. My propulsion had far surpassed the manufacturer’s expectations.

—Paaat!

With a brief run-up, I jumped high, spinning around like crazy in that state.

—Paenggeureureureureureu!

This wasn’t done for nothing.

Just.

To enhance propulsion!!!!

“Now!!”

As I rotated and brought my feet together precisely.

—Tuk.

Karin, who had somehow positioned herself in the best spot, swung her sword like a baseball player. Matching the timing was very easy. Stepping on her blade like that. Using her power. Exploding the power of my extremely honed leg muscles while bursting mana.

—Paaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!!

I reincarnated Rocket Cheonma Kim Kat.

—Kwagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagaga
