"Why do you like drinking so much?" Vali said as he is dragged by Vitra.

"Because..... it makes everything better." With a smile on his face, Vitra responded.

Promptly dragging Vali into the storeroom, Vitra waves both his hands "Besides, we have plenty of it here."

Inside the storeroom, Vali saw numerous barrels stacked and lined up. "How much are you intending to drink?" Vali face is riddled with confusion.

" Hehe... Only two barrels."

With eyes nearly popping out of its socket, Vali exclaimed, "What!!!"

"What's so surprising about that? When I was younger, I could drink five." Casually replied Vitra.

Hearing this, Vali marveled at the thought of Vitra finishing five barrel of mead and ale by himself.

Quickly tying together two barrels, Vitra threw it on his back and say, "Vali, you go get another one."

"For what?" Inquired Vali.

"Obviously for you." Replied Vitra.

Pondering for a minute, Vali went and pick up a barrel. He did not hesitate to drink this time as he knew that it impossible for him to get drunk.

Previously, Vali had only drunk due to the pressuring of Vitra and because of the frustrating day he experienced.

Vali and Vitra quickly went and gulp down everything. As Vitra had finished the two barrels, he instantly collapsed and passed out. Carrying Vitra on his back, Vali went inside their tent to rest and sleep for the night.

In the following days, Vali would continue to train both Vitra and Sigfried. Though he is training the two of them to grasp the concept of Kenbunshoku Haki, Vali never neglected his own training and his search for the assassin.

As the days pass by, when training Sigfried and Vitra, Vali would gradually lower the temperature of the flames he used to cover his swords. Though the temperature is still insanely hot according to Sigfried and Vitra, Vali had actually reduced the temperature of the flames by over 200 degrees.

As they keep on training, though the perceptive capabilities of Sigfried and Vitra had increased by a bit due to their regular training. Before the duo that trained under Vali's tutelage could make any significant progress or could even grasp the basics of Kenbunshoku Haki, eight months had already gone by. Because of this, Vali suspects that people, other than him might be unable to learn his skills.

Unlike the duo, during these eight months, with him constantly absorbing energy and fighting with Vitra, his body strength had experienced enormous growth. As such, his power level had reached the 5,000 mark. Also, his Haoshoku Haki skills and his All Speak skill experienced an increase in their level.

....

At this moment, wearing the Einherjar armor, in the middle of an enormous valley, Vali is hovering about a foot from the ground.

Right beside Vali is a warhorse clad in armor, on top of it sat Kriger donning a golden suit of armor. Behind Vali stood several warriors wearing several varieties of armor equipped with all kinds of weapons.

In the distance, Vali could see several dark elves marching towards his position.

"Vali, begin your attack." Ordered General Kriger.

Hearing this, Vali quickly merges with the armor with his body and begins to activate his skills.

As Vali retracted his armor, his lean and muscle toned body could be seen wearing a smokey white-coloured tank top and a dark brown pants. These clothes had been tailor-made by Vali to possess the same properties as his logia body. Though Vali could develop a different kind of clothing design, he chose not to do so. He felt that wearing a tank top and a slim trouser provide the least obstruction in his movement when he fights.

Merging and activating his devil fruit powers, a wisp of bluish-green flame could be seen flying off from the quiff cut hair of Vali as the wind blows past him.

Since Kriger had ordered him to initiate the attack, Vali quickly forms a huge buster sword.

Coupled with his icy flame powers, Vali sends out an enormous flaming wind blade with the swing of his sword towards the dark elves. Following this, Vali conjured up and fired out 500 energy swords.

With Vali's attack, a loud trumpet sounded out indicating the battle had begun. As such, the two sides proceed to furiously charge at each other.

Likewise, as he is at the front of the formation, Vali charges right into the formation of the dark elves.

With an innumerable amount of swords circling around him, Vali immediately activated all of his other offensive skills.

Due to the power of his skills, right as Vali entered the formation, he is slaying the cannon fodder dark elves left and right, turning all the dark elves around him into charred mincemeat. And all the blood of the dark elves instantly evaporates before they could even hit the ground because of the heat.

"Help, we need back up. Somebody help us." yelled the dark elves in their language as they rushed back into their formation.

Hearing this, several dark elves begin to take out a glowing red stone. Holding the stone in their hand, the dark elves quickly crush them as they charge towards Vali.

Right as the stone break in their hand, a dark-colored smoke immediately shrouded their body. With the fading of the smoke, it is apparent that the dark elves had transformed themselves into the Kursed warriors.

Noticing over almost close to five hundred Kursed warriors at the distance are charging right at him, Vali, who is standing at the center of a flaming tornado of swords instantly conjured up another 500 swords coated in Bushoshoku Haki and his icy flame.

Firing the swords out towards the Kursed, Vali stood his ground and pondered for a while before quickly retreating back.

"Vali! What do you think you are doing? Are you trying to flee from the battlefield?" Yelled Kriger.

Hearing this, Vali instantly swerves towards the source of the voice, pointing towards the direction of the dark elves, Vali cried out, "General Keiger! Kursed! Hundreds of them!"

"What?!" Kriger exclaimed out in surprise.

Quickly composing himself, Kriger ordered, "Notify the other Generals and the Giant Dwarves."

Pah-pa-rah!

Pah-pah-pa-rah!

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the generals and the humongous dwarves in their vicinity immediately convened.

"Over a couple hundred Kursed warriors are coming." Instantly announced Kriger.

All of the newly arrived warriors widen their eyes in surprise as they froze right where they are standing. Nobody dares to utter a single word.

"This is not the time to be surprised. Fight or we are going to lose." Solemnly said Keiger.

Pointing his ranseur towards the direction of the Kursed, Kriger yells out, "Charge!"

Gulping down their throat, all of them yelled as they charged forward, "For Valhalla! "

Boom!

Clank!

Splat!

Several loud resounding sounds came as some of the strongest warriors of Asgard and Nidavellir present in the battlefield clashed with the Kursed warriors.

While the Asgardians and dwarves wield various types of weapons to fight, the Kursed warriors used only their body. As they lost every shred of rationality they possess, they became unable to use any kind of weapon.

Still, even though the Kursed are fighting with their bare hands, due to the fact that all of their physical capabilities are boosted and the sheer amount of their numbers, they are able to evenly combat the Aesirs and the dwarves. In fact, they had killed nearly half of them, while over 300 of them remained.

Noticing that the Kursed are gaining the upper hand, Vali quickly increases his altitude so that he could use his ability more freely with the fear of injuring anyone from the same side as him.

Overlooking the fight from above, instantly forming thousands of swords varnished with Haki, Vali fired them at the Kursed warriors. He did not coalesce his devil fruit powers since the Kursed warriors are exceptionally close to the Aesirs and the dwarves.

Bang!

Noticing the flying Vali, several of the Kursed leap up into the air. But, this is a futile attempt as Vali had learned his lesson. This time, he flew and hover extremely higher than before.

Immediately diving down towards the ground to avoid any projectile that could be launched at him.

Vali quickly activated his Haoshoku Haki to try and weaken the Kursed warriors. But, due to their vast power level and them losing all their rationality, the Kursed remains completely unfazed.

"Stand your ground." shouted General Kriger.

Joining into the fray, Vali, without any hesitation, charges towards the Kursed warriors.

Activating all of his skills, Vali yelled, "Make way!"

Boom!

Firing over thousands of flaming energy blades followed with numerous wind blades, Vali slew over 10 Kursed.

"Avoid the flame." Hastily shouted Vali.

Continuing his onslaught, Vali and the warriors proceed to battle the Kursed.

After an hour, the long and arduous battle finally came to an end with the Aesirs and the dwarves attaining their victory.

None of the warriors, including Vali could muster up the strength to stand properly as such, several of them are lying on top of the gravel.

Though all of the Kursed had fallen, the battle is still ongoing on the other side of the valley.

"You can all rest later. Continue and join the fight." Shouted a couple of the Generals.

The warriors reluctantly grab their weapons and rush towards the battle. Although they are extremely tired, they did not dare to disobey the order of the General. And the battle continues through the night until both sides eventually retreated.

....

Inside a huge ship, a man clad in a pitch-black armor approached a dark elf sitting.

Immediately bowing his head, the man asks "The target is too strong, Sire. I will need the bombs."

Hearing this, the dark elf waves his hand.

Then, another dark elf walked into the room carrying several oval-shaped objects placed in a box.

Handing the box to the man, the dark elf said, "Do not fail."

Extending his hand to receive the box, the man replied, "I dare not."

After receiving the box, the man quickly turned into a dark mist and the next moment, he vanishes into thin air.
