Chapter 159: Mysterious Aura and Spoils
Skoll, the "Sun Hound," didn't hold on for much longer either.
This golden wolf was also quickly stripped of its solar essence by Oaks in his starlight leopard form by following the same procedure used on Hati.
It collapsed like a dead dog and lost consciousness.
Not only that, but they also shrank down once again.
Oaks bound the unconscious forms of these two magical wolves, securing their four paws, and hung them on the backs of the Golden Boar and the Bloodhoof. He used restorative spells to heal the injuries of the divine beasts and Loki.
"Truly remarkable... isn't it?"
Duraþrór's hind legs bounced unnaturally.
Loki's face twitched, and he subconsciously touched his own waist.
"This kind of attack...."
Although Loki and the divine beasts didn't witness how he defeated Hati, they saw how he dealt with Skoll.
They all felt a chilling sensation around their waists after witnessing that swift, fierce, and precise strike.
The resilient fur of the wolves which was strengthened by the power of the sun and moon was utterly defenseless against Oaks's claws, which were empowered by both starlight and Nature energy.
"Thank you all for your assistance."
Oaks gathered a considerable amount of natural essence and infused it into the divine beasts.
This supreme delicacy from Alfheim, while not enough to advance their life forms, it could be considered a benefit they hadn't experienced in thousands of years.
"Now let us part ways."
The Golden Boar and the Bloodhoof would return to Freyr's palace with Oaks and Loki, while Duraþrór and the two goats would return to their own habitat.
"Send our regards to Lord Thor for us!"
The goats were quite cheerful:
"Oh, we actually miss the days of riding the goat boat. I wonder if the boat is still around?"
"I will pass on the message. Perhaps there will be an opportunity for you to ride it again."
Oaks patted the heads of the two goats. To be honest, he would miss their taste...
On Earth, one couldn't find such exquisite mutton.
However, it seemed odd to ask them to leave behind some meat before they left...
And Oaks had a private conversation with Duraþrór for a while.
"I noticed that you seemed quite anxious earlier, and I've been meaning to ask."
Duraþrór's eyes flickered with a faint light as it earnestly looked at Oaks:
"Your previous transformation... that... starlight leopard form, seems somewhat similar."
It tilted its head and hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"I have felt this aura before... in Alfheim."
"What?!"
Oaks initially thought that the Divine Stag wanted to inquire about the advancement of life forms, but he didn't expect to receive this kind of information.
What did it mean?
Was there another unknown wild demigod in Alfheim?
Even though Duraþrór was a character with the lowest combat power, being a wild demigod meant being a wild demigod. Even if they didn't have the Emerald Dream to bind their souls for resurrection, who knew what other mystical abilities they possessed?
Just like the Four Divine Stags had their peculiar honeydew, perhaps other wild demigods possessed even more miraculous abilities?
In fact, the two magical wolves, Skoll and Hati, if they were truly able to achieve the level of "devouring the sun and moon" and fuse the power of the sun and moon, they would indeed be at the level of top-tier wild demigods.
But at present, they not only failed to fuse the power of the sun and moon, but they also had their solar and lunar essences extracted by Oaks, placing them on the same level as the two goats.
"Where did you sense this aura?"
Oaks hurriedly asked, but Duraþrór shook its head.
"I can't determine the exact location because the few times I sensed it were very brief."
Duraþrór pondered for a moment before nodding earnestly.
"Moreover, each appearance and disappearance felt abrupt, as if it were crossing through space."
"Crossing through space..."
"Hey! How long are you going to chat?"
Loki's impatient voice interrupted the conversation between Oaks and Duraþrór. And Duraþrór chuckled lightly.
"I will leave these questions for you to ponder, young druid... Your assistance has been invaluable to me this time. Your mystical energy may allow me to surpass my three brothers.
I should be on my way. Until we meet again, if fate permits."
"...Thank you again for your help, Duraþrór."
Oaks watched as Duraþrór nodded at him and turned around to walk away.
"Oh, by the way, the next time we meet, I'll trade life essence for honeydew!"
Duraþrór's leisurely pace faltered, and it immediately accelerated and ran off...
"Chatting with a few beasts for so long, it's truly... Ah!"
Loki didn't finish his sentence before being nudged by the Golden Boar beside him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"..."
Oaks' mouth twitched. Since Loki learned that he would be pushed back in the order, he hadn't been in a good mood.
If he knew that he would be further pushed back in the order shortly, would he lie on the ground and refuse to get up?
"Alright, Second... Third Prince, let's return to report to king Freyr as soon as possible for the sake of your early restoration of freedom."
...
In Freyr's palace, when Oaks and Loki brought the securely bound magical wolves before Freyr, the elven attendants and maidens in the entire palace couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
These two magical wolves had caused significant casualties among the elven warriors and hunters under their claws.
"So, you actually succeeded..."
Freyr, the God of Abundance, sat on his throne. He had already learned the details from the Golden Boar and the Bloodhoof. This was undoubtedly an undisputed victory.
"Any advisor of Asgard possesses unique qualities that others can't compare to, let alone those with the title of 'Sage'...
Oh, and the Second... cough, Third Prince, you are truly..."
"Alright, Freyr, we have known each other for over a thousand years. You don't need to fake a smile in front of me!"
Loki snorted. He naturally knew that his performance had been exposed to Freyr as well, but so what?
Was there any point in wasting time listening to the babbling of the God of Abundance? It would be better to quickly make Odin's two sons fight!
Freyr touched his nose and revealed a subtle smile.
"Loki, your thoughts... hehehe, Baldur might surprise you, you know?"
"What..."
"Sage Oaks, you have completed my trial, and I will fulfill my promise as well!"
This time, Freyr didn't give Loki a chance to speak. He waved his hand and concluded the matter.
"But don't forget the sufficient 'Spring of Vitality'!"
"Thank you, King Freyr. I will begin preparing the elixir."
Oaks noticed that Freyr seemed somewhat uneasy, and his expression became strange.
"However, I hope King Freyr can entrust me with the disposal of these two magical wolves."
"Of course, they are your spoils."
Freyr nodded indifferently. He had already noticed that although the solar and lunar powers still lingered within the two wolves, they were extremely weak, indicating that their cores had already been lost.
As long as these two creatures were taken away from Alfheim, Freyr wouldn't care how Oaks dealt with them.
"Three days later, the ritual will begin!"
