Destroying My Own Novel

All the spirits of the Demon Lords that Mahazael summoned were no match for the Valkyries. In fact, Brunhild alone was enough to deal with all of them, and she was unscathed from the battle. She slaughtered all of them in a single swoop with her spear.

Although Brunhild was enough to defeat them, the other Valkyries didn't show any mercy. They took the battle as their last battle as Brunhild taught Gunnar, Vincze, and Sven. They remembered Brunhild's words that in war, no matter how weak or strong their enemy was, they needed to go all out and put everything on the line. Those words were carved into their brains and always went all out no matter who their opponents were.

It was a slaughterhouse, and even Mahazel who didn't have any emotion or feeling was terrified by how powerful the enemies were. He summoned more and more demons into the room to fight the Valkyries, but to no avail, all of them were slaughtered as soon as they were summoned.

Edith had always wished for protection for the people she cared about for every wish that was offered to her. The Goddesses were interested in her, and on her last wish, Freyja was finally touched by her. Freyja bestowed her with the most powerful skill that even the Gods of Aesir were envious of, the [Queen's Warriors].

A skill that allowed whoever activated it to summon the Aesir's Queen's Warriors, the Valkyries. A skill that could only be used once a week and no matter what their wishes were, the Valkyries would grant them.

Brunhild didn't even get the chance to show her fullest potential since the other Valkyries took care of Mahazael by ripping their limbs from all five directions. They butchered him before he could do anything much either.

[Congratulations on defeating Demon King Mahazael, the Lord of Evil!]

[All the Constellations are overjoyed with your achievement and will grant you a single wish for every Awakener that participated in defeating Demon King Mahazael!]

[All the Constellations are looking at you with curiosity. They are waiting for the wish that you want as your reward!]

[You can ask for a skill that you want as long as the Constellations can grant it. The skill that you wished for is a [Benefactor Exclusive] skill]

It was fun to watch while it lasted, and all the Valkyries had gathered in front of Edith. They all stood tall with pride for giving a total victory to her. They all then left and went into the doors they came in except for Brunhild, Randgrid, Sigrid, Hildr, and Skeggold.

Brunhild looked at Vincze, Gunnar, and Sven since she missed them all. She then noticed something was off about Sven, the aura around him was a bit gloomy even though he looked happy to see her again.

"What's the matter, Sven son of Inglas?" Brunhild asked as she approached him. "I almost didn't notice you with that sorrow around you," Brunhild stood in front of Sven and looked him in the eye.

Before Sven could say a word, Brunhild threw a punch at him and hit him right in the face. He was thrown to the wall and hit the wall so hard that he was stuck for a few seconds. Vincze and Gunnar already knew what was going to happen, so they stayed quiet and focused on talking with Hildr and the others.

"To think a warrior would show such a face in front of me," Brunhild said as she flew toward Sven and kneed him in the chest before he could land on the floor. She held her knee up and kept pressing it on Sven's chest until he coughed blood.

The wall started to crumble and broke down, but before Sven could fall down, Brunhild grabbed his face. Her hand was so big that the base of her palm alone was enough to cover half of his face. He held his head like a bottle and slowly lifted him up.

"Is this the same warrior that I taught? The warrior that could single-handedly kill dozens of Valkyries?" Brunhild asked as she tightened her grip.

Sven was filled with rage since he felt like he was being played like a toy. He activated everything to free himself from Brunhild's grasp, but he was surprised that he was still powerless against her brute strength.

"Good! That's the face I want to see as a warrior!" Brunhild said as she slammed Sven's head on the ground. "Show me more of it! Show me your rage!" Brunhild tried her best to crush his head as Sven tried to remove her hand from his head.

Sven decided to use his scythe and cut off her left wrist without hesitation. He managed to free himself, but Brunhild already threw a right punch on him and sent him flying again. She didn't care about her missing limb and started flying toward him to throw kicks and punches.

Sven didn't hesitate to attack back and cut her body, her wings, and legs. Although she couldn't overpower his speed and strength, in terms of experience, Brunhild was still superior. She countered every single attack that was thrown at her and put Sven in a dire spot that made him unable to move freely and prevented him from getting the high ground again.

The two fought fiercely that everyone believed their battle was more interesting than when they saw the Valkyries massacre the spirits. The moment Sven ripped off the wings on Brunhild's armor, she lost the high ground in an instant. He then cut off her right arm and left leg, but Brunhild didn't mind about it at all and used her head and right leg to fight him.

"You're not a man anymore, Sven son of Ingles! You're a warrior!" Brunhilde said after she headbutted him to the ground. "A warrior doesn't show any regret and keeps moving forward with the goal of living to become the strongest. Keep moving forward without looking back even when death is right in front of you!" Brunhilde jumped and stomped Sven's head with her foot.

Sven groaned and cut Brunhild's right leg out of frustration since he was cornered by just a single leg. Brunhild collapsed and couldn't anymore, and then he put his right foot on top of Brunhild's chest.

"Now's the face that I love to see in the battle," Brunhild smiled. "You're truly, my proudest warrior that I raised. Move forward, Sven son of Ingles. Don't dwell on the past because you're no longer the same man when you came to me for the first time," Brunhild slowly closed her eyes and her whole body was ashen the moment she breathed her last breath.

Sven was sad and happy at the same time, but he was smiling as he nodded his head with understanding.

"You have become a great warrior, Sven. We will wait for you to come back so we can drink and train together until you become the greatest warrior alive," Randgrid said as she carried Brunhild's dead body. "Live well, Sven son of Ingles," Randgrid continued and then entered the door with the other Valkyries.

Sven collapsed since he exhausted himself in that fight. Vincze immediately grabbed him and carried him on his back. He was surprised when he heard Sven chuckle, and tears started falling down.

"Are you that happy to see them again?" Vincze asked with a smile.

"Yeah, and to think Brunhild herself called me her proudest warrior is really a great achievement," Sven laughed weakly. "After all, I'm the only one who she acknowledges, not you, not Gunnar," Sven continued.

"Alright, you can go walk on your own then," Vincze said as he pretended to let go.

Sven was laughing and apologized to Vincze for making fun of him. Although it was true that he overpowered Brundhild, she didn't use her weapon and shield, and she didn't attack to kill, unlike Sven.

"So, who are those women there? It's the first time I see a whole army that's even stronger than a Demon King," Aurea asked Gunnar.

"They're the strongest warrior of Aesir Gods, the Valkyries. You can say they're Freyja's personal knights, and there are at least a hundred of them. They're immortal and can't be killed since they're all spirits," Gunnar explained as he walked to the blue portal with the others.

"Valkyries, huh? I guess I should pay them a visit," Aurea smiled with excitement.
