You and Me Under The World Tree

Perhaps as far as the current scene is concerned, this is very much like two opponents who have known each other for a long time meeting again. If he is a warrior born and raised in Midgard and focused on glory, he should be very sensible and give up his place in the duel.
Either stop and watch and act as a referee, or leave directly and wait for the result, because as far as the customs of Midgard are concerned, a duel is honorable. Even if you die in battle, it is certain that the hero's soul will enter Asgard's Valhalla, and maybe countless heroes will Long for this.
But the Goths may be different. After all, according to the people, the Valkyries abandoned the people here a long time ago, and most of them miss the era when they were protected by the Valkyries.
But their prince is different. Facing the Valkyries who came to mediate, he didn't give any face, and he was very close to the giant. In this case, even if he died, he didn't know whether he could go to Valhalla. .
But in fact, these things have nothing to do with Hoder, because no matter what, he cannot let His Highness the Prince fight alone with this warrior named Jack, because no matter what, he is still a player.
There is a setting in "Nine Realms" that most online games have, that is, you must participate in combat before you can complete the instance settlement. This is actually a setting made to prevent players from being lazy and hanging up. No matter how you say it, "Nine Realms" is the same. It is natural for a game to include this very classic game mechanism.
So he must participate in the battle, otherwise, the hammer in his hand will always be swung at the warrior named Ike!
Therefore, he did not take any action or leave. He just stood there and turned a deaf ear to what His Highness the Prince had said before.
 "I said, leave this to me."
"Blind confidence is not something a prince can do." After the prince repeated such a sentence, Hoder responded.
 "But you said you came here to settle your score."
"Yes, but I also brought you here, so I naturally have the obligation to take you out."
To put it bluntly, Hoder didn't think anything of what he said. He just casually mentioned this to the NPC, and his purpose was just to get him to stay and 'fight' together to prepare for the next corpse touch.
However, when his words were passed on, the prince seemed to have shut down...
Hoder finally felt how the NPCs and even his teammates looked at him when he was 'stuck'. Because the helmet and armor completely covered his body and face, he couldn't see what the prince was like at this moment. , he tilted his head slightly, as if he was looking at Hoder, but other than that
 There are no other actions.
For a moment, Hoder felt that he had said something he shouldn't have said, causing the plot to get stuck. Fortunately, His Highness was not the only one present. As an enemy, the giant Ike who dared to show his blood bar also listened to his words.
He was not a fool, and the conclusion that he could come to the answer with just a little thought quickly emerged in his mind.
"So, you are the... warrior who once caused great losses to this prosperous town?"
"If by prosperous town you mean this garbage-like gangster gathering place, yes."
Hoder's mouth was very venomous. Ike just calmly praised his friend with his front foot, and he backhanded Grin's actions into the abyss. Although this was just a matter of stance, this attitude inevitably made people feel uncomfortable. Ike frowned slightly.
"Speaking of which, there hasn't been much news about that guy Grin recently. If I hadn't caught him, I wouldn't have known there were giants in this land." Then, he took out the torch that looked like a war hammer, " But it's the same no matter who it is."
 Contempt...
Although Ike didn't hear any excessive insults from beginning to end, he could hear the contempt mixed in Hoder's dull words.
He probably didn't take the giants here seriously, including his friend Grin.
 "Anyway, none of you can escape!"
 'Bang'
The first one to launch the attack was not the prince who had a feud with Ike, but Hoder. He was very fast. In the slightly gloomy underground world, even Ike's eyesight could only capture the swift firelight. , in the blink of an eye, the fire light had reached the top of his head, and his hammer was completely rushed.
 Go with the giant's head!
 Ice-breaking torch...
This is the best equipment in Hoder's hands, and at the same time, in the world view, as the dwarf artifact carried by Loki, this is also a rare masterpiece!
 'clang'
With just one hammer, Hoder's torch hammer hit the one-handed sword in his hand. The giant's strength allowed Ike to bear the blow head-on. At the same time, the sword of the rune sword also flashed. Passed a bright brilliance.
 [Sword of Exxax]
 Also known as the Howling Demonic Sword...
According to the game settings, this sword can be dropped in epic difficulty, but it is a pity that Hoder was not able to reveal this thing in the last round of dungeons, but what about this time?
 'Dong'
 Feeling a little fierce in his heart, Hoder's offensive couldn't help but become more fierce.
And at this moment, Siegfried seemed to hear a vague sigh. When he came back to his senses, his uncle had already started a battle with the giant warrior, and the next moment, he saw The prince who came to the side also drew his sword and rushed forward.
This did not surprise him, because he knew that this was not a duel at all. These giants hidden in the mountains were a scourge to the surrounding villages, and they came here to destroy them!
 "Then I also..."
Just when Siegfried wanted to raise his sword and join the siege of the giant warriors, Regin held him back.
 "Forget it, you can't deal with that giant."
Although the person involved did not mention this much, judging from his performance just now, it seems that this giant warrior has been defeated by the prince before. Although Hoder has never fought against Ike, his fighting ability is obvious to all.
 Compared with these two people, Siegfried is just a piece of cake...
 The most important thing was actually the weapon. To be honest, Regin almost wanted to laugh.
"That sword was forged by me. It is a good work that I can boast about to this day."
Although this was just a product he agreed to help make weapons for the giants in order to survive, but as a blacksmith, it is natural to be proud of his work.
"I made two swords for Grin. One is the Howling Demonic Sword. It can make the wind howl when it is swung. The other one is probably still in Grin's hand."
 "The sword you forged...isn't that very dangerous, uncle?"
 Then, a roar came from the center of the fight.
 "Give me the sword!"
 'Dong'
The rising flames of the ice-breaking torch encountered the violent wind released by the Howling Demonic Sword. The flames released from the center of the war hammer rose directly and burned directly towards Ike's head.
 Just like that, his blood volume began to gradually decrease...
 "Stay back, this is not a battle we can participate in, it's better not to be affected."
