## Chapter 983 – Ancient Valkyrie

A body tearing through space as it flies.

—REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

An insane sense of speed. Right now, I was a missile. A goddamn powerful dream missile at that. If those self-proclaimed Paektu bloodline pseudo-Kim dynasty bastards saw me, they’d collapse on the spot, pissing themselves and wailing in despair.

I had become such a missile, flying towards the Valkyrie.

“…!”

However, the Valkyrie, who was retreating, was also aware of me. —Flap! The bastard spread its wings wide. Pure white feathers fluttered, partially obscuring the halo behind it, creating an effect like an eclipse.

—Zhiiiiiiiing!!!
—Zhiiiing!!
—Zhiiiiiiiiiing!!

Numerous ancient divine magic circles were generated, starting from the unfolded wings.

Initially, the magic circles unfolded in the shape of angel wings, but now they widened like the wings of a giant butterfly, covering half the sky.

—Pachichik!!!

An ominous energy surged from the center of the magic circles that had been created in an instant. So, it was planning to bombard me all at once with that?

—Cheok.

At the same time, the Valkyrie scattered its fierce gaze and pointed its sword at me. Energy was gathering at the tip of the sword as well. The sight was so overwhelming that for a moment, I was genuinely mistaken that a god had sent the Valkyrie.

This guy is trying to completely finish me off.

That’s what I thought at that moment.

—Puh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uhng!!!
—Kuo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!!!
—Zhiiiiiiiiiing!!

From the magic circles that covered half the sky, divine rays were fired all at once. And that wasn’t all. A brilliant cluster of light was also shot from the tip of the sword that the Valkyrie was pointing.

—Patzztzutz!!!

The fired beams gathered at one point, forming the apex of a polyhedron.

—Tu-kwaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!

Completely combined, they rushed towards me.

The ray was truly infinite.

“With such petty things.”

Even so.

“Did you think you could stop this Cheonma Kim Kat??”

It couldn’t stop me.

It was useless to cover half the sky.

—Hwareuk.

Burning.

—Hwareureureureuk!!!!

The inhuman sword flames that burned repeatedly enveloped the blade of Vügal. 「Eung-ho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohk!!!!!」 It was as if Vügal’s bizarre scream could be heard from somewhere. The soul’s cry that could only be made when one who had been steeped in the deepest darkness truly repented. As if resonating with that cry, the sword flames burned even more fiercely, as if trying to absorb the atmosphere.

“You cannot stop me.”

Was it because of the sense of speed felt from my body? It felt as if someone was strongly pushing my back.

Vast.

Extremely vast beings.

Their shapes were all different. King David. Hwanung. And Buddha. But those were ultimately just images I had created. I had merely expressed my transcendent strength in that way.

That’s why this power was my true power.

Lightly.

“Cheonma Shin’gong.”

I simply swung my sword lightly.

“Cheonma Nuclear Missile.”

—Sswaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!

The Valkyrie’s divine ray that was flying towards me drew closer. It almost looked like the sun. A massive energy that devoured everything. However, this was too huge. It was so huge that I could stab and burst it with Vügal. Above all, a nuclear missile was a sun created by mankind. In the end, if the power was the same, my side, where the power was perfectly concentrated, was advantageous.

Like that.

The moment my sword tip and the apex of the ray collided.

—Buuuuuuuuuuuk!!!

“Witness.”

It was Vügal who was victorious.

My sword tip split the endlessly firing ray as it was, and went on infinitely. It was like grabbing crab sticks and tearing them left and right. It was truly a splendid victory for Vügal, and what I saw was the figure of the Valkyrie, spreading its wings and pointing its sword.

That figure was getting closer every moment.

“The victory of this Cheonma Kim Kat.”

And when the distance between her and me became zero.

“!”

Penetrating all kinds of attacks, I collided with the Valkyrie.

—Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!!!!

All that could be heard was the explosion.

All that could be felt was the impact.

A round wave was created from the point of collision, spreading fiercely to the sky and the ground. —Puh-uhng!!! Every time I advanced 1cm while colliding, —Puh-uhng!! Such a wave was continuously created.

—Puh-uhng!!!
—Puh-uhng!!!
—Puh-uhng!!!

A donut-sized wave expanded and expanded, continuously creating hula hoops that would wrap around the waist of the world. It was that powerful. I widened my eyes, trying not to miss the Valkyrie’s figure in the rising flash, and constantly pushed my body and sword tip forward.

—Pachangchang!!!!!

Soon, the ancient divine magic circles that had been embroidered, covering half the sky, were all broken, scattering brilliant fragments.

With that, the flash disappeared.

“…!”

—Kung!!

Unable to withstand the impact, the Valkyrie bent over and flew backwards. I already told you, didn’t I? That such petty things couldn’t stop me. That it couldn’t stop Cheonma Kim Kat, who had become a true nuclear bomb.

But it’s not over yet.

“I won’t miss you.”

I had pushed the Valkyrie away with force and sent it flying, but I was still flying. That much massive energy still remained in my body.

I had to chase the Valkyrie as it was and finish it off for sure.

—The Wright brothers.

The legendary brothers, the Wright brothers. I was a person who didn’t even reach their toes. But quite a while ago, I had surpassed them. When was it? It wasn’t even necessary to think about it. Cheonma didn’t remember such things one by one.

But what was important was.

“The expectations of the creator!!!!!”

I had surpassed the Wright brothers.
And the fact that I was flying now.

“Far surpassedㅡ!!!!!!!”

This was reality.
Feeling fanatical joy, I shouted.

“Propulsion powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!”

Like a spaceship doing a second ignition, my accelerating body chased after the Valkyrie that had been knocked away. As it flew away, the Valkyrie sensed the threat and tried to normalize its posture by spreading its wings again.

But I was faster.
—I caught up.

“Die, Valkyrie!!!!”

At that moment when I shouted and swung my sword down.

—Kwang!!!!

“…!”

The Valkyrie raised its sword and defended against my attack. But as Karin had said, its swordsmanship wasn’t that great. —Kwachik! I twisted the blade as it was, aiming for the bastard’s face.

—Kwaddeudeudeudeuk!!!

“This bastard…!”
“…!”

Vügal’s blade seared the Valkyrie’s cheek. If it was a normal opponent, I could have cut off its face and killed it here, but the Valkyrie’s skin had been coated with Divine Essence, and only sparks flew as if a grinder was cutting metal.

—Chiiiiiiiiik!!!

It didn’t penetrate.
What a fraudulent defense power.

“Then!!”

—Kung!

I immediately shot out my foot and struck the bastard’s breastplate, and then slammed Asura Power Strike towards the Valkyrie’s crown, which had been pushed back a little by the impact.

—Kwang!!!

The Valkyrie’s angel ring broke, and its body descended several meters. With that, our bodies, which had been flying endlessly diagonally, regained normalcy. There was no more ascent now. It was extremely difficult to penetrate that divine ray cannon from before.

“Huh, what the fuck?”

But how far had we flown?
More than that, it was damn high.

We had flown damn high, to the point where even that Deathworm bastard couldn’t even be compared. In my plan, I thought the mages would create a foothold around this point, but all I could see below was a blue meadow made of trees.

The place from before was an open space?

“Cheonma Shin’gong.”

As soon as I realized that, I changed my strategy. Whatever it was, the one who could adapt to the situation and improvise on the spot was me.

“Rear Naked Choke.”

—Paaat!

I put Vügal back into its scabbard as it was, spread my body out in a large letter, and descended over the Valkyrie’s head. —Shiiiiiiiik!!! I felt the resistance of gravity and air, like when skydiving. The Valkyrie was in a daze for a moment due to the impact. It was definitely possible now.

With Karin’s help, I had flown damn far to this point, but I wasn’t an existence that could fly directly, like the Wright brothers. The Wright brothers also created airplanes and flew in the sky. They didn’t fly directly themselves.

Then I would stick to the Valkyrie’s body.

That was enough.

“Dejaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!”
“…!”

When I shouted, the Valkyrie looked up at me. It might have been my imagination that a moment of shock was etched on that emotionless face, but looking at what happened next, it was shocking enough.

—Chaak!!

Like that, I stuck to the Valkyrie’s back like a spider and tried to choke its neck with a rear naked choke.

—Kkwak!!

Pulling up the strength of my whole body…! Restraining it so that it couldn’t even move its wings!!! It was truly a prison of muscles, a Muscle Prison!!!!

“If you get caught in this, even if you’re a Valkyrie, you won’t be able to move! Now, what are you going to do! I’ll endure even if you explode like before!!!”
“…!”

—Patzztzut!!

In that state, I unfolded Bodyguard Aura to strengthen the destructive power of the choke! Good! As expected, it stopped falling and was still in the air!

If I did this, it would work out somehow!!

—Tsureut!

At that moment when I was gleefully squeezing the Valkyrie’s body, the Valkyrie’s sword suddenly blazed fiercely and disappeared. What was it trying to do? It was as if it was trying to throw away its sword without regret… No way!!

“You bastard!!!!!”

—Cheok!

The Valkyrie grabbed my forearms with both hands!! —Kkwaaak!! At the same time, I felt an insane pressure…! It was trying to tear off the muscles of my forearms with its hands! Like stripping the meat off a chicken leg!!!

If this continued, it would flow according to the bastard’s intentions!!

“Teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng!!!”

I pulled up all my strength and concentrated my power on my forearms to resist that cruel handiwork. Still, if it was my level of hardness, even if it was the Valkyrie, it wouldn’t be able to do as it pleased.

“…!”

At the same time, I squeezed even harder, as if to break the bastard’s neck bone.

It was truly a chicken run that was done until one side died…! However, I couldn’t give up on this match. I had finally caught an opportunity, so would I let it go? Even if I fell off, I could grab a tree branch to cushion the impact of the fall, like when I escaped from the Harpy Queen, but if I did that, I would lose the Valkyrie forever.

—I couldn’t do that!

That’s what I thought at that moment.

—Jing!

A magic circle was created near our feet. For a moment, I thought the Valkyrie was going to use a magic attack, but this was a foothold created by a mage. Was it possible to cast a spell even after coming this far?

“Haaaap!!!”

And a familiar voice was heard.

—Paaat!

What soared up like a dragon was Liztina.
It didn’t fly diagonally, but soared up?

Ah.

I roughly got the angle. Because I had flown farther than expected, Karin and Liztina had been carrying the mages and running at full speed to right below here. The mages must be somewhere down there right now.

“Sister!!! Just beat it up as it is!!!”

I squeezed out my voice and shouted.

—Pachang!!

Liztina, who had stepped on the magic circle once, shot her body towards this side. —Chwaaaaaaaa! Ten streaks of blue aura scattered in that trajectory.

“Hold on tight!!!”

An insane demon’s claw gauntlet. It tore through the air and scattered aura. Because there were ten blades, the aura was also divided into ten streaks!!!

“…!”

The Valkyrie, who had been grabbing my forearms, let go of my forearms and tried to deal with it.

—Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!

But Liztina’s punch was faster.

She, who had gathered five finger blades to create one blade tip, landed a murderous punch on the Valkyrie’s face. After striking the face like that.

—Kuuuuuuuuung!!!!!

The second punch that followed struck the Valkyrie’s abdomen, which was surrounded by divine armor. —Heave! It was as if that impact was almost coming to me. Because I was holding onto the Valkyrie right now.

“Die, Valkyrieeeeee!!!”

—Chahaaaak!!

What followed was a claw hand slap. The five blades that tore through the air and flew in were about to grind the Valkyrie’s face as it was. No, it seemed like it was trying to grind it. —Pachichichit!! Only sparks were flying, as if it was still being defended by Divine Essence.

But how long could it last?

Liztina’s offensive was continuing infinitely.

—Paaat!

Karin was also quickly coming up with a vertical jump.

The era of flying beatdowns had arrived.

We were living in such an era.
