A few days later, Forseti was ordered to follow Hela to Jotunheim.

As always, Jotunheim was a land of ice and snow, with ice everywhere. Under the dim sky, it was even more difficult to tell where to go.

Fortunately, Asgard had established a stronghold at the destination, and the sun mirror was suspended in the camp, dispelling the cold and darkness nearby.

On the night they were stationed in the camp, the Frost Giants organized a round of attacks.

"Roar—"

With its powerful jumping ability, the huge body of the Frost Beast leaped toward the Asgardian camp, rampaging through it.

Since Grimir mastered the method of domesticating the Frost Beasts, these giant creatures had become a significant headache for Asgard.

Every time the Frost Giants launched an attack, they would bring a few Frost Beasts to the front lines. These giant beasts had rough skin and thick flesh, and their bodies were terrifyingly cold. When they charged, ordinary soldiers were not their match, making them quite tricky to handle.

In this attack, the Frost Giants brought seven Frost Beasts at once, creating a great deal of momentum.

Seeing the Frost Beasts rushing into the camp, Forseti couldn't help but recall the scene from years ago.

When he lost contact with Asgard and lived alone in Jotunheim, he had encountered a Frost Beast. At that time, he was small and weak. Despite his best efforts, he finally escaped by relying on the Rainbow Bridge.

"Chuck—"

Forseti pulled out the Sword of Rivendell, which made a clear sound as it left the scabbard. Under the sun's mirror, the sword's body shone brightly.

The magic floating cloak stirred, and he shot out with a long sword, heading straight for the nearest Frost Beast.

Sword of Justice!

The Sword of Rivendell released its holy light, sharp and threatening, but the Frost Beast had keen senses and noticed Forseti. It immediately raised its claw and swung it.

Although the Frost Beast had rough skin and thick flesh, it was no match for the Sword of Immortal Steel.

The Sword of Rivendell effortlessly sliced through the flesh and blood of the Frost Beast but slowed slightly when it encountered the bones.

Forseti exerted more force,

The claw of the Frost Beast was cut in two, and the broken part flew out with blood.

"Roar!!" The Frost Beast roared in pain and anger, letting out an earth-shattering sound. Its other giant claw slapped down with even more force, creating a violent sonic boom in the air.

Forseti wasn't interested in cutting more claws. Flames erupted from his feet, allowing him to dodge the giant claw of the Frost Beast nimbly. He then soared straight into the sky.

"Roar!"

The Frost Beast raised its head and immediately jumped up. The terrifying force propelled it skyward, causing the ground to crack and leaving a large pit.

It jumped so high that Forseti was nearly caught. He was momentarily surprised but continued his attack, swinging his sword.

Sword of Judgment!

The Sword of Judgment struck one of the Frost Beast's eyes with precision, blinding it.

The Frost Beast howled in pain again.

Forseti maneuvered behind it, flames propelling him. The Frost Beast was still in the air and unable to move easily.

He clenched his sword and flew upwards. Taking advantage of the Frost Beast's descent, he cut a long wound on its back, almost splitting it in two.

However, given the Frost Beast's huge size, the wound wasn't deep enough to be fatal.

Forseti continued to battle it, using his agility and speed to keep swinging the Sword of Rivendell, leaving wounds on the Frost Beast while remaining unscathed.

After a while, the bruised and battered Frost Beast could no longer fight and was reduced to a helpless creature, ready to be slaughtered.

Forseti flew up again with his sword, and with a loud roar, he stabbed the Sword of Rivendell into the head of the Frost Beast. The holy light and flame danced on the blade.

With all his strength, the sword pierced through the sturdy skull.

The Frost Beast trembled one last time before dying, turning into a corpse and falling silently into the camp.

Forseti landed back on the ground.

Several nearby Frost Giant soldiers saw this and retreated in horror.

Forseti noticed them and flew towards them, the holy light on the Sword of Rivendell shining brightly.

Blind Light!

The Frost Giants were caught off guard, blinded by the flash. They panicked and their formation broke.

Forseti attacked with his sword, swiftly killing them.

"Boom—"

A roar came from nearby. Forseti turned to see Mjölnir flying nearby, thunder arcs jumping on it.

Hela's fighting style was very dynamic.

Mjölnir could fly on its own and release thunder, sparks, and lightning. After Hela had awakened her divine power, she could reorganize the materials around her into weapons anytime, anywhere, with swords flying everywhere.

Around her, with the swords and warhammers flying together, the Frost Giants fell in droves.

However, this scene didn't last long. Soon, a Frost Giant elder with a bald head and white beard appeared before Hela.

A large amount of fine ice floated around the bald elder, looking like dense silver needles.

Hela raised her hand and flew out a long sword. The ice needles responded and instantly condensed into an ice wall.

"Chong!"

The long sword stuck in the ice wall, and the ice wall suddenly cracked.

The bald elder's expression remained unchanged. The ice wall turned into thousands of ice needles, which shot out.

Under the intensive impact of the ice needles, the long sword turned into powder and dissipated into the air.

Hela quickly condensed a square shield to block the incoming ice needles. At the same time, with a move, Mjölnir turned around and rushed towards the bald elder.

Forseti quickly met his opponent.

The Frost Giant held two short, ice-blue daggers and looked like a thief, but he was burly and wore heavy plate armor.

The Frost Giant's skin was covered with a thick layer of ice, at least one centimeter thick. His two teeth were extremely long and sharp, like beast fangs.

All in all, this toothy Frost Giant had a distinctive and impressive appearance.

The thick layer of ice and plate armor gave him a strong defense.

"Qiang!" Forseti slashed his neck with a sword. Ice slag splashed, but it didn't cause fatal injuries.

The long-toothed Frost Giant swung his double daggers quickly. Forseti dodged and parried but was still scratched twice.

Forseti quickly retreated a few steps.

"Are you the Paladin Forseti of Asgard? Is this all you can do?" The long-toothed Frost Giant snorted coldly.

Forseti was surprised to find that he was already somewhat famous in the Nine Realms, even among the Frost Giants.
