Chapter 131: Chapter 51: Severus on the Offensive! The lord’s residence.
As soon as Duncan’s plan was revealed, Severus opposed it, saying, "No! It’s too risky!"
"You are now shouldering the entire burden of Great Britain alone. Scandinavia is the domain of the Norse gods. What if something goes wrong?"
Crow Queen-Triss knew more.
She knew Duncan enhanced his strength by defeating powerful enemies. After pondering for a moment, she said, "I’ll go with you."
Duncan influenced the fate of thousands and thousands of people.
Crow Queen-Triss was equally worried. By accompanying him personally, even if the incarnations of Norse gods descended, she could confront them head-on, at least giving Duncan a chance to escape. Recently, she felt the power of Diana was also reviving. In the mythological end times, everyone had a power ceiling, and as long as it’s not an overpowered existence (like a Giant Dragon), normal divine spirits relying on avatars manifested by followers could still be fought against.
(Divine spirits manifesting through mortals is currently the only possibility akin to inviting the god.)
As long as the oath of chastity remained unbroken, Crow Queen-Triss was the only chosen by the gods of ancient Rome and Greece.
But Duncan considered more, saying solemnly, "No."
"You must stay to hold the fort while I’m away."
"I have it in mind."
"If things become unmanageable, I can retreat at any time."
If unable to fight, just gather forces.
Crow Queen-Triss had only a slightly better physique than ordinary people, which Duncan knew best, and she couldn’t frequently use magic. Duncan, on the other hand, could act more freely on his own.
He had carved a bloody path through the Heroic Spirit Hall.
As long as he didn’t lose his mind and destroy Odin’s Viking Holy Sanctuary, the Norse gods would still mostly aim to win him over, after all, the Valkyries had close relationships with him.
Duncan’s strength was greater than before. With the Nord Bow in his possession, he’d flee if the fight was unfavorable, who could stop him!
Crow Queen Triss said lowly, "But those Germanic Priests..."
"I’m afraid they’ll be disadvantageous to you."
Duncan patted her hand reassuringly, saying, "Don’t worry, I’m not that afraid of witchcraft, just try to avoid them."
A strong soul has high resistance to spells; casting spells also has a distance, Duncan finds it easy to kill ordinary wizards, as some spells don’t have the shooting range of the Nord Bow.
He’s out for ’regeneration’ this time!
The Duke of Dingtiger was injured, no more, and King Uther was struck. Reportedly, he hadn’t appeared for a long time, recovering from injuries.
Duncan was powerful, but he also feared being wounded.
This time the scouts returned with news of other supernatural monsters, some in legends immune to poison, many special abilities Duncan desperately needed.
In the end, Crow Queen-Triss compromised, softly saying, "Do be careful with everything!"
No matter the danger, can it be comparable to a battlefield storm of thousands of troops?
Duncan leading the general guard among thousands on the battlefield to decapitate an enemy general is just as risky as challenging a legendary giant beast.
In this era, supernatural monsters could also be slain.
Even hundreds of years later, in a certain island country, mighty warriors could rely on famous swords to kill demons. In the east, monks have been doing this job for so long that it almost becomes a race for achievements, but in the era of demons rampant in the island country, powerful warriors cutting down a few mountain spirits is not a surprising matter.
Just treat them as the mountain spirits and wild monsters from Strange Tales.
To Duncan, Lake Fairies of Avalon seemed weak, similar to Earth Spirits of mountains and rivers.
If he was willing to confer Avalon faith, he could directly reestablish Mist-covered Avalon, making it the core belief of Great Britain; perhaps Mist-covered Avalon, Land of Blessings, could be further expanded to regain its power from back then.
Night deepened.
Severus’s figure entered Avalon Monument Stone, Druid Priest responsible for guarding the Holy Sanctuary respectfully lowered his head and retreated.
Waves of mist emerged.
In one of the stone-ringed pools, Severus poured clear spring water, soon ancient Celtic words rang out, resonating through nearby forests like the wind carrying them further afar.
Forest lakes responded, nature’s spirituality condensed into the form of female fairies, akin to the Lake Nymph from ancient Greek mythology.
A hazy silhouette appeared in the mist.
The mist formed the enchanting lines of the Lake Fairy, though in reality, she could only gather a vague shape, softly saying, "What’s the matter..."
"Guardian."
Severus revived ancient Celtic faith, with Duncan’s powerful strength, his status within the Druid sect rose substantially, essentially serving as the Guardian of Avalon’s faith in the secular world.
Of course, there was more than one guardian.
Severus looking respectfully at the Avalon Fairy before him, said, "I wish to ask the Guardian Fairies for something."
The Avalon Fairy’s image flickered as if the signal was poor, murmuringly she said, "What thing?"
Severus raised his head, speaking solemnly, "Gayeberg’s Spear!"
The legendary Spear of Greed.
Three hundred years ago, the long spear used by Celtic mythological figure Cu Chulainn, it’s a legendary spear wielded by a hero who’s part human, part demigod.
The weapon Beowulf held, the Giant’s Sword, is also a legendary weapon.
