Wrath of Vengeance

Forseti smiled. "Tomorrow, I will take you to New korbin Star."

"New korbin?" Ander was startled.

Hermond said, "Before you, the Silver Hand recruited a Retribution Knight on New Corbin Star, who will assist in infusing you with Holy Light."

Ander hesitated, "Do I have to stay on New Corbin for twenty years?"

"I'll regularly return you to Asgard, but most of your time will be spent on New Korbin until the Light infusion is complete," Forseti explained. "It might be inconvenient, but Bill, the chivalrous knight and guardian of the Korbin, is bound by oath and can't stay away from home long."

"Okay," Ander nodded.

"Meet me at the teleportation hall at noon tomorrow," Forseti patted his shoulder and left.

The next day, Forseti arrived at the Rainbow Bridge as planned, waiting in the teleportation hall and occasionally chatting with Hermond.

"You said crickets fart?" Forseti asked.

"Yes, I've heard it myself," Heimdall nodded firmly.

The Allsight wasn't just a metaphor; Heimdall's divine power included "all-hearing," allowing him to hear all sorts of sounds.

Suddenly, Heimdall's expression changed, his pupils flashing. "Something's wrong."

"What happened?" Forseti stood.

Heimdall gripped the Guardian Sword. "The team chasing the high-level red dragon is in trouble. You should go help them."

"Understood." Forseti drew the Demon Slayer Sword and the Ice Extreme Blade.

"It's a beast that preys on Gods. Be cautious," Hermond warned. "If things get dire, I'll teleport you back to Asgard."

With that, Heimdall opened the Rainbow Bridge and sent Forseti to his destination.

Forseti found himself in a vast forest engulfed in flames, like a raging inferno.

"Roar - Roar!!" A deafening dragon roar echoed through the sky.

Looking up, Forseti saw a massive red dragon hovering, its fiery presence dominating the sky.

This high-level red dragon was nearly twice the size of a typical giant dragon, its fiery breath ominous and intimidating.

Feeling the oppressive aura radiating from its immense body, Forseti froze.

Truly a formidable high-level dragon...

However, the dragon appeared wounded, with numerous injuries and a gaping hole in its wing inflicted by pursuers, resulting in heavy casualties among Asgardian warriors.

"Roar!" The red dragon swung its colossal tail as Forseti arrived,

Threatening Valkyrie and her Pegasus.

"Valkyrie!"

In the nick of time, another Valkyrie on horseback rushed in, pushing Valkyrie aside and taking the brunt of the dragon's tail herself.

With a deafening neigh, the Valkyrie and her steed were sent flying, crashing into a rock with a resounding "Boom!"

With his cloak billowing and flames at his feet, Forseti caught the dragon's attention.

The fiery-eyed dragon halted, fixating on Forseti, particularly his dragon armor.

Due to its immense size, Forseti couldn't discern what exactly the dragon eyed, but he felt an intense hatred directed at him.

The dragon's hatred peaked, focusing solely on Forseti.

At that moment, another Valkyrie charged, riding her Pegasus over the dragon's back, slashing her sword and splattering dragon blood.

"Roar—" The red dragon howled in pain from a deep gash inflicted by the Valkyrie.

Seizing the opportunity, Forseti activated his Wrath of Vengeance, unfolding two radiant wings of holy light.

Judgment!

The wings created a sonic boom as Forseti ascended above the dragon's head.

This dragon had long wreaked havoc in Vanaheim, notorious for its cannibalistic habits. Such malevolence couldn't be tolerated by Holy Light.

"Boom!" The holy light erupted, tearing apart the top of the dragon's head.

Though resilient, the dragon suffered severe wounds, dizzy and nearly losing its hair from the impact.

"Roar—" Enraged, the dragon spewed fiery breath, engulfing the sky.

While Forseti, a flame deity, could endure, he swiftly retreated from the dragon's flames using his holy wings.

The dragon persisted, attempting futilely to match Forseti's speed, its large frame unable to keep up.

Forseti darted around the dragon, wielding his ice sword and demon-slaying sword, inflicting swift and deep wounds. The combined frost and holy light intensified the dragon's suffering.

Remaining Asgardian warriors, including Valkyrie, continued their relentless assault on the dragon, following Forseti's lead.

Eventually, the battered dragon, its once impenetrable scales now scarred and broken, couldn't withstand further combat.

"Roar!"

Finally relenting, the dragon turned, its massive wings beating as it fled with a defiant roar.

Forseti pursued.

Forseti's holy wings granted unmatched speed. Despite the dragon's bulk, its flight matched the speed of Forseti's wings.

In moments, dragon and warrior traveled far, arriving near a volcano.

Without hesitation, the dragon plunged into the crater, where lava simmered.

Transforming swiftly, shedding its draconic form for human guise.
