[236] Utterly Dood
Chapter 236: Utterly Dood
—
“Why the hell are you stopping , Rose?!” Brigid’s yell echoed in the small apartnt. “I finally have the power to bury his face in the ground!”
Rossweisse stood in front of her, arms crossed. She was unimpressed by the outburst. “You do? Your father had the sa Icon, and it didn’t help him against Aqua. What makes you think you’ll succeed? You’re not ready.”
Brigid clenched her fists, and she gritted her teeth. “I’m not my father,” she growled, her voice sharp with frustration. “I’m different.”
Rose’s eyes narrowed, her frown deepening as she stared at the younger Valkyrie. "Different? Maybe. Stronger? No. You’re not Thor, you stupid girl. You don’t even match him. You think just because you’ve awakened an Icon you’re suddenly invincible?”
“I awakened an Icon in this rage, while my father awakened one being millennia older than ,” Brigid said, “I am better than him. You don’t get it.”
“Icons only ca to this world five decades you, you stupid girl,” Rose said with a scowl, and Brigid took a step back, growling.
Then, she paused, blinked, and her lips curled in a smirk. She crossed her arms over her chest, eyes flashing with defiance. “Oh, I see it now,” she said, her tone dripping with mockery. “You’re jealous, Rose. You’ve always been the better Valkyrie, but now, I have the power of an Icon, and you don’t. Is that what this is about, Rose?”
“What?”
“You can’t stand that I’ve surpassed you.”
Rossweiss’s eyelids flinched, stupefied. “Jealous?” she repeated, incredulous. “I’ve been trying to protect you. We’re on the sa side, Brigid.”
“Don’t give that crap,” Brigid scoffed, brushing past her. “You’ve been holding back ever since we got here. Well, no more. The next ti I sense him, I’ll end this. You won’t stop . I dare you to.”
The air between them crackled with tension, and just as Brigid finished speaking, the world shifted. Just like yesterday, Aqua’s presence blood in the distance, a pulse of divine power spreading like the wings of an eagle.
Both won froze.
Brigid’s eyes widened for a mont, and then her lips widened into a grin as she felt his presence coursing through the air. “There he is,” she said, the excitent in her voice unmistakable. “That punk is back!” Her hand lifted, already calling forth the power of her newly awakened Icon.
“Brigid, wait—” Rose started, but her voice was cut off as Brigid surged forward.
With a roar of power, Brigid Thorsdottir summoned the Storm Icon, her hamr appearing in her hand, as her body enveloped in a crackling aura of power, as an armor enveloped her. The air around her seed to bend and ripple as though nature itself bent to her will.
