After Kratos cured Atreus's illness, the father and son's relationship had been strengthened through their trial in Helheim. Under normal circumstances, they should have continued on to Jotunheim.
But Lu Yuan stopped these players while they were still eager for more.
"Let's put the main story on hold for now."
Lu Yuan pointed at several skull icons on the map that glowed with an eerie purple light, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
"If you think that dragon and the Dark Elf King weren't challenging enough, then... try challenging these ladies."
"The Valkyries!"
"They are warrior spirits corrupted and imprisoned by Odin. In this game, they represent the absolute ceiling of combat power. If fighting Baldur is like watching a movie, then fighting Valkyries... is like surviving a heavenly tribulation."
"Tch, they're just a few imprisoned women." Wang Qiuer casually tossed her long, wavy pink-blue hair. "I've slain dragons before. Why would I be afraid of them?"
Controlling Kratos, she confidently entered a hidden chamber near Thamur's corpse.
At the center of the chamber, a figure with iron wings hovered silently in midair—Valkyrie Gunnr.
"Awaken! Fight me!" Wang Qiuer pressed the taunt button.
The Valkyrie abruptly opened her eyes and let out a piercing shriek. Her iron wings spread wide as she shot forward in a streak of silver light.
The battle began.

[You have died]
Wang Qiuer stared at the gray screen, completely dumbfounded.
"What happened? I only saw a flash of light, and then I was dead?"
"Again!"

"I'll block it!" Wang Qiuer instinctively raised her shield.
Crack!
Her guard was broken. Kratos was hooked around the neck
