Summon from Valhalla

Freya's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the burning scroll suspended in midair. The ominous flames seemed to defy the wind, burning with an intensity that demanded her full attention.

For a brief moment, the Viking Princess felt an overwhelming sense of dread wash over her, her mind racing to comprehend the implications of this event. Every fiber of her being knew what the scroll symbolized—a message from Valhalla, one that could not be ignored.

Her thoughts spiraled, pulling her away from the chaos of the battlefield. In that moment of distraction, the Abyssal demon, writhing on the ground with shattered bones and searing pain, sensed an opportunity. Ignoring his grievous injuries, the demon summoned the last vestiges of his strength and lunged at Freya with a claw aimed directly at her throat. If he was to perish, he would drag the enemy commander with him.

But the demon underestimated her instincts.
