Chapter 157: On How To Eat Mutton
Oaks and Loki sat in front of a bonfire deep within the dark forest.
When it came to the consumption of mutton, Oaks expressed nothing but contempt for Asgard's crude methods of "boiling" and "roasting".
Although given the current conditions, they could only roast, there was still an art to it.
Because they couldn't damage the goat's bones, they couldn't use the method of roasting a whole mutton.
Therefore, Oaks decided... to roast mutton skewers.
Who said druids didn't eat meat?
The grand druids who had reached the highest level of fishing and cooking disagreed.
Loki was right about one thing, his daggers, which he had been practicing with for over a thousand years, were indeed powerful--
He didn't know how the two goats were mocking him; otherwise, they would have had to figure out how to eat hot pot mutton today.
The skeletons of the two goats were preserved intact. Oaks summoned lightning to strike them, and they came back to life.
It was as miraculous as the boar in the Hall of Heroes.
They, together with the other three divine beasts, were concealed by Loki's illusions, as if they didn't exist at all.
"I feel... we've never been roasted so fragrantly before."
"If we had these spices back then, I don't think the two of us would have enough for Thor to have a meal."
Duraþrór and the golden-haired boar and the bloodhoof horse stood to the side with strange expressions, looking at the two goats commenting on the skewers that were emitting a strange aroma over the bonfire.
Although they knew that these two fellows disregarded life and death, seeing them like this still felt...
Very bad.
However, Oaks's special spices couldn't help but make these vegetarian divine beasts salivate.
So fragrant...
"What... are you using?"
Loki swallowed his saliva and stared fixedly at the sizzling mutton skewers over the bonfire.
He was absolutely certain that even if the two demon wolves had their noses plugged, they wouldn't be able to resist this unprecedented temptation.
"Earth's secret spices, the recipe is confidential."
Oaks chuckled. Was it really that easy to teach the secrets of this cuisine?
It took him quite a bit of effort to cultivate cumin seeds in Alfheim.
"Hmph... you mortals go to great lengths to satisfy your desires for taste."
"Do you want some?"
"...I do!"
Even the god of trickery couldn't resist the Law of True Fragrance. However, he could only ate a few skewers.
"...Here they come!"
On the other side, Oaks slowly inserted his mutton skewers into the ground next to the bonfire. In his perception, two figures emanating a dangerous aura had appeared not far away!
"Roar..."
A deep roar echoed. They had been in the dark forest for so long, and not a single animal had appeared.
According to Oaks's perception, this forest had already been completely saturated with the aura of Twilight, making it unsuitable for animals to survive.
Therefore, whatever appeared here must be...
"Buzz..."
Suddenly, a violent burst of sunlight erupted in the dim forest!
And Loki's illusions retreated like melting ice before this sudden, clearly purifying light. The figures of the several divine beasts became visible!
"Sudden attack, huh..."
Loki gritted his teeth and revealed a wicked smile as he put down the mutton skewer in his hand--
The intense light from earlier contained surging magic and high temperature, and the mutton skewer had already been charred.
He jumped up while drawing his dagger and chuckled coldly.
"But beasts will always be beasts. As for this god... Ah!"
He hadn't even had the chance to show off before he was struck by a cold beam of moonlight and sent flying.
"Let's go!"
Duraþrór lowered its head slightly and a misty aura circulated around its massive antlers.
It dug its front hooves into the ground and glanced at Loki, who had just gotten up.
"Mark the one who uses sunlight!"
"I will leave it to you. I'll deal with the one who uses moonlight!"
In the forest, a huge, five-meter-tall wolf with silver fur, black magic patterns, and a faint silver glow all over its body appeared!
It was the one whose moonlight blast had sent Loki flying.
"The Moon Hound," the demon wolf, Hati!
"Ah... what a pity, our meat!"
Tanngnjóstr and Tanngrisnir, the two silly goats, muttered as they stood on either side of Duraþrór and their sharp horns pointed forward.
"Wasting is shameful!"
"It's over there!"
Loki mounted the Bloodhoof horse and used magic to mark another target hidden in the forest.
The Golden-Haired boar shook its massive tusks and let out a roar towards the sky, then charged out--
With its tough hide, it was best suited to be the vanguard.
"Roar!"
"Hmph!"
"Boom!"
A loud howl resounded as the Golden-Haired boar was sent flying!
Another wolf, also over five meters tall, with golden fur, black magic patterns, and a faint golden glow all over its body, stepped out slowly.
But immediately after, Duraþrór and the two goats charged forward!
Not only that, but the charge was followed by a violent trampling!
"Boom!"
The two goats were flung away, and Duraþrór shook its head, taking a step back.
"The Sun Hound," the demon wolf, Skoll!
"You fools, are you here to die?"
As high-ranking magical beasts, Skoll and Hati could speak!
It was Skoll who spoke. It knew about the existence of the divine beasts, but it hadn't expected them to appear together today.
The golden light between Skoll's claws hadn't dissipated yet. It truly lived up to its name as the Sun Hound, exhibiting extraordinary combat power under the sunlight!
"Buzz..."
Oaks clenched his right hand, and a crescent moon appeared above Hati's head!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The Moonfire Gatling gun had minimal damage facing Hati, who possessed the power of the moon, but...
The insult was immense.
"Brother, I'm interested in that person's power!"
Hati licked its lips. Although they were attracted by an unknown aroma, Oaks's power of moonlight had clearly made it forget the temptation of food.
"He's mine!"
"Hmph... I leave it to you, brother."
Seeing that the divine beasts had reorganized and were facing him along with Loki on horseback, Skoll bared its sharp fangs with a snarl.
"Let's change the location!"
Skoll had already unleashed the power of the sun and was fighting against Loki's team. Oaks beckoned, and the crescent moon gradually transformed into a full moon. The power of the Moonfire spell was rapidly increasing!
"Roar!"
Hati pounced forward, but saw that its target had turned into a cheetah and turned to flee!
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Hati grinned widely, and moonlight that erupted from its body greatly increased its speed!
But it found that the cheetah in front of it had also dramatically increased in speed!
"What on earth is that thing!"
While chasing and fleeing, Oaks firmly controlled Hati with the power of moonlight and rushed out of the forest in one breath!
"So, this is your purpose?"
Hati looked at Oaks, who had stopped outside the forest, and slowly stepped out of the range enveloped in the power of twilight.
"Do you think that without the power of twilight, you can defeat me... If I were so easily defeated, that Vanir god would have attacked long ago!"
"No, Hati."
Oaks returned to his human form and gripped his hands together. Countless thick vines and trees surged out from behind Hati and directly separated it from the dark forest!
"Perhaps you haven't weakened, but I have become stronger here!"
