Chapter 1965: Forged Holy Relic
After Adrian dispelled the second Temporary Bifrost, Frey led him to the next one and they were shocked upon their arrival. The other four Temporary Bifrost no longer had enemies in the area as the combined forces of the soldiers of the Ice Queen Elona and the Valkyries have secured the location. Adrian just needed to destroy the Temporary Bifrost which made his life easier.
As there were no longer any danger to be met when dispelling the Temporary Bifrost, Adrian made sure to be extra careful and assess it even deeper. He actually found a spot in the magic circle that can be destroyed by bombarding it with pure mana that can destroy it. The only effect is that the magic circle would explode in a large area that will hurt anyone in an area of ten meters with the magic circle at the center.
The explosion was powerful, but Adrian was able to tank it thanks to his soulbounds that heal and defend him. He thought the weak point to the Valkyries, and they used the remaining two Temporary Bifrost as targets. Two large mushroom clouds could be seen in the sky after confirming the weak part of the magic circle.
[You have completed the quest Destroy the Temporary Bifrost.]
[Return to the Demigod Blacksmith Aurgelmir to receive your reward.]
Even if it were the Valkyries that destroyed the remaining two magic circles, Adrian was still able to complete his quest. He thanked the soldiers and the Valkyries for securing the last locations as he had no energy to fight battles. It took Adrian two days to destroy all of the six Temporary Bifrost which meant that he was early.
"I guess... you are now leaving then." Frey stated as she had a slight smile on her face, but she actually wanted him to stay.
Frey wanted to have an adventure with Adrian in the northern continent as she has lots to do here. She even has a large number of quests here as she is now fighting with the Aesir Gods. She wanted to ask Adrian to be with her so that they can complete quests together, but she also knows that he is busy on his side.
"Yes. Our time fighting together was short, but I actually enjoyed it. I was also able to see how great of a fighter you are which makes my heart skip a beat... I mean... your fighting style is so beautiful... uhm... your fighting style is awesome!" Adrian stated as his statement started trailing as he started blushing as well.
"Your fighting style also excites me as well. Let us adventure together again when you have free time. If you need me then all you need to do is call me in the chat and I will drop what I am doing if it is not that important." Frey stated.
"Frey! Let us go! We have detected the energy of the Aesir Gods further north!" One of the Valkyries suddenly stated.
"Coming!" Frey stated as she suddenly leaned in towards Adrian cheek for a cute kiss.
"See you again soon!" Frey stated as she ran while blushing hard and rode her mount with the other Valkyries.
Adrian froze on the spot as if time is frozen, but he did not freeze time. He did not expect such interaction which is why his brain suddenly glitched. When he finally snapped back to reality, there were no longer people around him. He suddenly realized that he forgot to ask Frey to be part of his guild.
"Ah! I suddenly froze and forgot! Why am I such a loser! I was not even able to respond." Adrian stated as he plopped onto the snow and rolled around.
After thrashing about the snowy ground like a child that has seen and played with the snow for the first time, Adrian finally stood straight and cleared his head. He suddenly realized that he did not really need to tell Frey about the guild invite as he can always send it via chat. He sent guild invite to Frey and told her good luck on her journey as well.
[Frey has joined the Pantheon Guild upon your invite.]
"I guess I have to call you Guild Leader Equinox now." Frey replied in the chat as she also sent a winking emoji.
"Good Luck as well!" Adrian replied and also added a finger heart emoji as he was feeling courageous.
"You have returned, and you finished the task quickly. Elona said that I should praise you, but I do not need to since you only did what I expected of you." The Demigod Blacksmith Aurgelmir stated as he saw Adrian enter his forge.
"Thank you, Equinox. That statement is not really difficult to say... right, old man?" Adrian stated but the Demigod Blacksmith Aurgelmir just looked at him grumpily.
"The holy relic has been forged. It was quite easy to do as all of the items that you have brought me have great synergy with one another." The Demigod Blacksmith Aurgelmir stated as he gave Adrian the holy relic.
"It is a lump of golden metal?!" Adrian stated as he was handed a lump of golden metal gleaming with the light of a rainbow.
"Tch! Such an amateur that he cannot even see its greatness. That is a holy relic with no ownership. You would need the divine fragment of a god or a goddess to complete it. It is in an incomplete state which is why it looks like that. No other blacksmith in this world would even be able to make something close to that." The Demigod Blacksmith Aurgelmir stated as he ignored Adrian and went back to forge other things.
[The Goddess Demeter tells you to return back to Avalon and present her the holy relic.]
"Thanks, old man." Adrian stated as he bowed but the Aurgelmir just signaled with his hand for him to go away.
"Why can you not insert your divine fragment while I am here?" Adrian asked.
[The Goddess Demeter tells you sarcastically if she was a Goddess of Winter.]
