Since Odin was sealed in the Hall of Valor, in order to pass the boring time, he gradually developed three major hobbies.
Smoking, drinking, getting permed... ugh!
It was banquets, gladiatorial viewings and hunts.
The banquet is easy to understand, the mead hall was built for this from the beginning.
In Odin's original vision, every time the heroic warriors returned from a victory, they would enjoy fine wine and delicious food in the mead hall to relieve physical and mental fatigue before the next expedition.
The so-called Heroic Warriors were transformed by Odin by collecting the souls of dead Vrykul so that they could continue to fight to protect Azeroth after death.
It is said that in order to be able to see through the boundary between life and death and better control the special group of heroic warriors, Odin used one of his eyes tens of thousands of years ago in exchange for a privilege with a mysterious being in the Shadow Realm. .
In the process of transforming the heroic warriors, Odin also needs to use the power of the Val'kyr.
Here again I have to mention the existence principle of Val'kyr.
The so-called Val'kyr is a soul body transformed from a Vrykul witch who mastered powerful rune magic. The first Val'kyr in history was Odin's former adopted daughter and later the god of death, Hela.
After Hela was tortured and rebelled, Aiur, the current King of the Val'kyr, took her place. She is also the undisputed strongest among the Val'kyr, a powerful being at the demigod level.
Another heroic warrior named Heimdall also has a lot of background.
This powerful warrior wearing a golden helmet has been guarding the gate of the Hall of Valor for Odin for tens of thousands of years. His original task was to stop enemies who tried to invade the Hall of Valor.
However, due to the backstabbing of Hela and Loken, the Hall of Valor was completely closed to the outside world, and Heimdall was forced to be on the edge of OB for tens of thousands of years.
However, this does not damage Heimdall's reputation. All heroic warriors know that the taciturn Heimdall is the strongest among them, and a role model for heroic warriors who have entered the gate of demigods.
Odin's second hobby is watching gladiator fights, and the arena where Sarlayan and others are now was built for this purpose.
In order to maintain their condition, the heroic warriors would come to this arena to fight to the death when they were not on missions for the time being.
Yes, it's a fight to the death.
Odin's Hall of Valor has a special function. As long as the heroic warriors step within the scope of this palace, their souls are immortal, and even if they die, they will be resurrected soon.
Therefore, the heroic warriors participating in the gladiatorial fight will not hold back and fight to the death. In Odin's view, this is considered exciting.
Odin's last passion was hunting.
Speaking of which, we have to mention Fenrir, the demon wolf who was thrown into the eternal hunting ground by Odin as the ultimate trial.
According to legend, the demon wolf Fenrir and Thorim's animal companions Hattie and Sun Chaser (Skull) are brothers.
However, unlike Hati and Zhuri, who were conquered by Thorim, who liked powerful animals, Fenrir's fate was more tragic.
He was spotted by Odin tens of thousands of years ago and was forcibly captured in the Eternal Hunting Ground as the final boss of the heroic warrior hunting trial.
Over the years, Fenrir has encountered countless challenges from the heroic warriors.
Although this powerful demon wolf has never been defeated so far, it has left countless large and small wounds on its body and even lost one of its eyes.
Yes, just like Odin, I don’t know if this is Odin’s bad taste.
While the Hall of Valor was closed, Odin could only use these three hobbies to pass the time.
Sarlayan was not sure for the time being, whether the one-eyed dragon staged this trial because the Hall of Valor really had this rule, or whether it was because he wanted to watch the gladiatorial battle selfishly.
There are only so many heroic warriors who come and go. Tens of thousands of years have passed, and Odin has long been familiar with everyone. Their battles with each other are no longer novel to Odin.
Unlike Sharlayan and Stellagosa, Odin was full of curiosity about these two relatively new visitors and was eager to see their performance in battle.
Even though Odin only has one eye, as the most experienced warrior leader among the Titan Guardians, he can roughly tell the current strength of the two new demigods, Sarlayan and Stellagosa, at a glance.
Although his hands are itching and unbearable, if he, the chief manager, personally attacks the juniors, it would be somewhat of a bullying.
Therefore, Odin decided to let his right-hand men Heimdall and El test the visitors.
According to Odin's rough estimate, the strength gap between these four people should be about the same.
"2V2? That's okay too."
Through the eagle eye technique, Sarlayan determined the data power of Heimdall and El.
Both of these two Vrykul demigods are level 60...level 60.9 to be precise. They are proper demigod goalkeepers, and they seem to have no hope of continuing to improve their strength.
From this point, it can be seen that Heimdall and Al are both demigods who were infused with power by Odin, and this method of overthrowing their talents undoubtedly blocked the possibility of their continued progress.
If Sarlayan was in good condition, he would really like to try it one against two.
But it is a pity that Sharlayan has not recovered his strength now, so he can only temporarily suppress the turmoil in his heart and play a mixed doubles match with Stellagosa.
Coincidentally, the combination of Heimdall and El also has one physical system and one magic system. Sarlayan and Stellagosa no longer need to discuss their opponents, they can find their respective targets and take action immediately.
In terms of physical fitness, Sarlayan and Heimdall, who each have their own inheritance, are evenly matched. Since Sarlayan is temporarily in a period of weakness, their maximum output is not much different.
In other words, this battle mainly tests their fighting skills and adaptability to the situation.
Seeing the two big swords on Sarlayan's back, Heimdall instinctively thought that his opponent was also an upright warrior. He originally expected to stage a wonderful martial arts showdown for Odin.
However, contrary to Heimdall's expectations, the boy opposite turned into a huge brown bear without any martial ethics.
The incarnation of Ursoc was so huge that Heimdall, who was over 3 meters tall, could only look up in shock.
"Roar!"
Odin had made it clear that the battle had begun. Sarlayan ignored Heimdall's momentary distraction and raised his bear paw to slap him on the head without mercy.
"clang!"
Wearing heavy armor, Heimdall was not the type known for his dexterity. After quickly recovering, he raised the golden sword in his right hand and barely blocked the bear's claws.
"boom!"
The huge impact caused Heimdall's feet to step into two deep pits on the ground of the arena, and he finally received the palm completely.
Through this round of fighting, Heimdall roughly knew the power of the giant bear incarnation. Although it was difficult to deal with it, if faced head-on, he would not be completely powerless to fight back.
After exerting force again to deflect the bear's paw, Heimdall let out a loud war cry from his mouth. While empowering himself with a battle roar, he launched a heroic leap, raised his sword high and jumped towards the giant bear, which was also inflexible.
Facing the enemy's attack, Sarlayan still took a calm breath.
"Ouch!
"
The dragon's roaring sound wave attack in the form of a bear shocked Heimdall, who was in mid-air, and was stunned.
Although he relied on his strong willpower to control his posture without deformation, it was obviously unrealistic to cause damage in this state.
In the blink of an eye, Sarlayan withdrew Ursoc's incarnation and transformed into a smart silver wolf. He kicked off the ground with his hind legs and jumped to the side of Heimdall. The wolf's mouth began to shine with moon-white energy.
On the other side, Stellagosa and Al staged a relatively elegant spell battle.
Al's spell system was inherited from Odin. It was also a light system, and it was extremely offensive. It was completely different from the malleable Holy Light.
The light spells were very gorgeous in terms of visual effects. The bright golden light illuminated the arena. Judging from the light of the spells, Al seemed to have the upper hand.
However, this is not the case. Stellagosa's blue-purple arcane brilliance seems to be suppressed by the golden light, but it can be seen from El's stern expression that she is not completely sure of winning this battle.
Through the soul links that connect each other, Sharlayan can vaguely feel Stellagosa's emotions.
So far, Little Xingxing's mood is quite stable, and Al's spell attack should not put too much pressure on her.
Moreover, Sarlayan didn't have much time left to worry about the battle on the other side. He believed that Stellagosa, who had accumulated a lot of experience, would not lose to an artificial demigod injected by external forces.
"Ouch!"
As Heimdall leaned back to avoid the critical attack, the moonlight energy cannon sprayed from the silver wolf's mouth grazed his front breastplate and hit the side wall of the arena with unabated force.
Odin didn't care about this. It wasn't difficult to repair it anyway. He was more interested in Sarlayan's changeable fighting style.
"Bears and wolves, what new tricks are there? Old friends, just let me see them."
