Chapter 1207: The Feathered Cloak And The Frost Giant’s Son

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Heng could tell that Master Kui was related to Freya because of her feathered cloak.

Although this feathered cloak wasn’t as famous as Odin’s weapon Gungnir or Thor’s hammer Mikhail, it had appeared many times in Norse mythology. As long as one wore this cloak, they could transform into a falcon, not to mention it was a disguise that even the gods could not see through. Now, it seemed that Freya had turned this item into a supernatural one and given it to her agent.

Loki obviously did not pay much attention to the remaining three players other than Zhang Heng because all three of them were injured. Other than the doctor, who could barely move, one of Mouse’s legs was so swollen that he could barely walk. As for Master Quinn, he was the most miserable. After being shot by Loki’s incarnation, Sauk, and after the surgery, it was a miracle that she could get out of bed immediately.

Moreover, Loki had revealed their location to the Internal Affairs Department. They were surrounded by hundreds of militiamen, and it looked like death was the only way out. Loki had become careless because of this; he didn’t expect Master Kui to let Besnova disguise herself. Furthermore, after Master Kui transformed into a falcon with his feather cloak, he was no longer affected by his injuries.

She watched the battle between Zhang Heng and Loki from the sky and realized that she had first to destroy his teleportation ability if she wanted to kill Loki. Besides that, Master Kui also hinted to Zhang Heng about his flight path, asking him to join her. However, the two of them never found an opportunity to do so because Loki’s teleportation ability was too buggy. Not only was there no limit to the number of times he could teleport, but he also didn’t even need to snap his fingers.

In other words, as long as he couldn’t subdue Loki in an instant, Loki could use teleportation to escape immediately. Just as Master Kui was worrying about what to do, she didn’t expect Loki to be so bored that he wanted to play with the birds. With a wave of the hand, he summoned Master Kui’s falcon form from the sky.

However, the magic he used wasn’t very powerful. It wasn’t a problem for him to control a bird of prey that didn’t have much intelligence, but it didn’t have much of an impact on Master Kui’s mental state. Instead, Master Kui’s trick fell on Loki’s arm. Zhang Heng, who was downstairs, also understood. He suddenly took out his [Pestilence Bone Bow] and pointed it at Loki.

Loki’s attention was attracted by Zhang Heng’s action, and Kui took the opportunity to steal the [Escape Dagger] from Loki’s waist with his mouth. Then, under cover of Zhang Heng, he spread his wings and flew away, forcing Loki to choose a frontal battle with him. And in the end, Zhang Heng cut off his head.

That was the general summary of the previous battle.

….

“Unfortunately, Freya isn’t here. She has always wanted to see this.” Grandpa Kui walked to Loki’s corpse, squatted down, and looked at Loki’s lifeless eyes.

Mouse noticed the obvious drop in temperature around him and asked curiously, “Can gods be killed? And isn’t Loki the God of Fire? Why is his blood blue?”

“Because even though he’s Odin’s foster brother, he’s the son of Frost Giant Fabuty and Laufey,” Master Kui said. “So in terms of bloodline, this guy is indeed a frost giant.”

On the other hand, Zhang Heng did not join in the discussion. He was thinking about what Loki had said before he died. The latter had mentioned that chaos was coming… although, with Loki’s personality, he could not rule out the possibility that he made up some nonsense before he died. However, Zhang Heng was more inclined to believe that it was true. He just did not know what Loki meant by “chaos.” Also, Loki seemed to know a lot about his background.

His words about the apocalypse did not seem to be made up. However, at that time, the two were fighting, and in order to not let Loki’s words affect him, Zhang Heng did not believe or doubt him. Instead, he chose to put Loki’s words aside and focused on the battle first. but now that the battle was over, Zhang Heng began to think about these things again. He only looked up when he saw the doctor standing in front of him.

The doctor looked a little conflicted, but he still handed the [Escape Dagger] to Zhang Heng.

“This item should belong to you. You defeated Loki. Without you, we wouldn’t have been able to complete the mission. We also gained a lot of points from the previous incarnations.”

Even though he said that the doctor was still reluctant to part with it, after all, it was a C-rank item, and it had been magically modified by Loki. There was no limit to the number of times it could be used and the number of CDs it had; in a sense, its value had already surpassed that of a B-grade item. It could even be compared to the legendary A-grade item. It would be a lie to say that it was not heartbreaking to hand it over just like that.

However, this was something that they had already discussed on the rooftop. On the way back, the doctor had more than once thought of running away with this item. With the invincible nature of this item, it was impossible for others not to catch up to him. After the remaining 20 minutes passed, they would return to the real world, and the doctor would be able to keep the dagger for himself.

It would be a lie to say that they were not tempted, but the doctor knew that Zhang Heng could have prevented Master Kui from bringing the dagger to them. At that time, Zhang Heng could have ignored the falcon that she had transformed into and let it fall to the ground; he could have taken the opportunity to catch the [Escape Dagger] and not care about the lives of the remaining players. After all, they were not related, and they did not even know their real names.

However, Zhang Heng still chose to save them in the end, even though it was a piece of cake for Zhang Heng.

The doctor wanted to keep the item for himself, but he was not thick-skinned enough to do so. Zhang Heng had saved them more than once, and the doctor had wronged Zhang Heng before. In the end, the latter did not seem to take it to heart. He could not bring himself to do so, so in the end, he still gave the dagger to Zhang Heng as promised.

Zhang Heng accepted the dagger from the doctor without hesitation. The doctor could not find any expression of joy on Zhang Heng’s face. In fact, Zhang Heng’s expression did not change at all; it was as if he was buying pancakes from a roadside stall, which the doctor found hard to understand.

Anyone who obtained the dagger would have an undying body. Furthermore, with Zhang Heng’s strength, other than items like [Dreamland of Death], there was nothing else that could threaten him from now on. Zhang Heng seemed to know what the doctor was thinking. He shook his head but did not explain.

Soon, an hour passed. The players had all received the system notification that they could leave this dungeon that had been shrouded in the shadow of death. Only then did they finally relax, their figures disappearing from the streets. However, after everyone left, Zhang Heng realized that he was still standing where he was.

Then he saw a little boy, accompanied by a white-haired man, walking toward him.
