A loud screeching sound cut through the skies of Somali where the fight against Niddhog was taking place. So far none the Valkyries have suffered any major injuries. Though the serpentine like dragon had the largest army following in its tracks, most of it has been eliminated with only a few having slipped through.
Only the Ragnarok Herald was left and the battle entered its second phase. In terms of power Niddhog wasn't the most powerful enemy humanity had face. Of course it's still an S class Calamity so the destruction it could bring was devastating, however according to the data collected by the Resistance the dragon should be the easiest Herald for the Valkyries to take down.
If that really was the case, why did they wait until now to do after it?
The dragon twisted its long body as it dove down. Letting gravity and montum do the work it wrapped its wings around its upper half then started spinning as it headed for a group of five Valkyries.
Seeing the giant drill heading their way the girls spread out to avoid getting hit. At the sa ti several others were pointing their cannons at a certain point, raining fire the mont their enemy entered it.
The beams and bullets hit the target but didn't seem to do much damage. Niddhog continued spinning in its downward fall like a gigantic missile and just like a drill it pierced the ground and dove deep into the earth; at least that's what happened the first ti it had perford this attack.
For miles and miles the land had turned into nothing but a large pool of molten rock. Each ti the beast dove into the earth it brought with it a torrent of lava that spilled out like spring water that followed in the track it drew. In the span of an hour several new volcanoes have been created transforming the terrain into sothing more suitable for the Ragnarok Herald.
Lava wasn't much of a threat to the Valkyries a long as they kept their force fields active, but the sa couldn't be said for their weapons and equipnt. It takes a bit of concentration to extend the field to the weapons they carry in their hands, but the support drones and energy containers were out of reach and would be lost the mont they sustain any damage.
Niddhog erged from the sea of fire once again pulling behind it a long twister glowing with the color red. Its once golden brown scales were covered in scorched black, veins of of fire spread on the surface of its wings as opened them in a single motion. The molten rock rained on the Valkyries like a teorite shower, each drop random and difficult to calculate. The dragon didn't wait for them to escape the thread, swimming through the air with open jaws and heading for them as they dodged.
Once again the Valkyries managed to avoid the threat, however more of their equipnt was lost leaving them with the lee fighters and only a few ranged ones with ammo.
There was no telling for how long this could go on, however that worked for the Valkyries as well. Their job this ti wasn't to defeat the Calamity; it was to keep it away from the forty sixth base for as long as possible.
The dragon could dig through the earth and head straight to its target, if that happens it would be a really big problem. However there is nothing they could do but hope it wouldn't suddenly lose interest in them.

In France Near the city of Caen a devastating blizzard slowly marched south.
Fenrir walked in slow steps, its ears moving in this direction and that studying the hawling wind looking for sothing.
Its head snapped in one direction having sensed so movent. A second later frozen spikes jutter out of the ground stopping the enemy heading its way with a raised blade.
As the Valkyrie ca to a sudden stop another leaped toward the black wolf and swung her axe, but a number of spikes appeared once more blocking the blade.
The two Valkyries made a swift retreat hiding behind the cover of the blizzard.
Among the Ragnarok Heralds, Fenrir had the second place as the most dangerous. Going by most of its actions one can hardly say it's an active fighter.
Most of the ti all it did was walk around and unleash strong snow storms on its surroundings, spreading them far and wide freezing everything that ca in its way.
The temperature dropped significantly the closer one gets to the beast. Thanks to the force field isolating the Valkyries from the effects of the cold they're able to move around without freezing instantly, however with the heavy snow blocking their view it was very difficult for them to fight efficiently, making them unable to coordination and take advantage of their greater numbers.
At first the black wolf did nothing and simply walked. The Calamities around it engaged the Valkyries and kept them away from the Herald, but soon enough every last one of them were defeated leaving the beast all alone.
Not having to worry about its allies anymore Fenrir launched another blizzard scattering the Valkyries and keeping them at a distance. Its priority at the mont was reaching the location indicated by its queen so unlike Niddhog it decided to ignore the Valkyries' presence and continue its advance.
Still, it was difficult for the black wolf to increase its speed and keep the storm going at the sa ti. Not to ntion, the assault didn't stop and the Valkyries were working hard at finding a way to take it down.
Though it didn't work as well as intended, it's still possible for the girls to use the storm to hide as well. Their small size ant that the wind pressure got in their way limiting their movent, but by carefully analyzing the currents they are able to get close enough to strike.

Fafnir was he most formidable enemy humanity has faced so far, beside the Nephilim of course. Out of the sixty three Valkyries that went to intercept it, nine were already dead.
The black dragon didn't play around. It rampaged through a the sky swallowing the light in its surroundings and turning it into raw force.
When its jaws spread open, black flas spewed out. The Valkyries already knew that getting hit with that attack was the end, but many fell victims to it along with many Calamities that just so happened to be in the way.
The Herald was an incarnation of destruction. Its fire burned everything and its body crushed anything. Nothing seed to to inflict any damage on it and fighting began to feel like a waste of ti.
Twenty Valkyries gathered together and shot their Proton Cannons from above. The beams seed to fit an invisible barrier, slowly disintegrating into small specs and lting into the monster's obsidian scales. The force they generated however was still applied pushing the black dragon toward the ocean, subrging it in the water and causing large waves to form.
The black flas burned and burned. Steam exploded forming hot wind that blew toward the sky.
There was no mont of silence as the Herald erged once more. This ti however the rage in its roar shook sothing inside the Valkyries. The restraints on their emotions were breaking one after the other and most of them were beginning to wish they could go ho.
