Valkyrie? A member of the Norse Pantheon?
This discovery caused Duncan’s face to change, even more shocking than when he saw a dragon in Iceland during the cause and effect projection last time.
It seems that ordinary people cannot see this Valkyrie with their naked eyes.
She is indifferent to the other people on the battlefield, completely ignoring those fallen ordinary soldiers, and not concerned with the dead who believed in Monotheism. Her gaze only falls on those Germanic Barbarians’ elite units, must at least be a one-star combat unit to slightly catch the attention of this bird-winged silver-helmet Valkyrie.
Cannot be those who fled and got killed.
Must be those who fought valiantly and fearlessly, viewing fear as nothing, and believed in Polytheism - Norse Pantheon Germanic Barbarians warriors.
Even if he charged too recklessly and was surrounded and killed, it’s fine.
As long as he is strong enough and brave enough, he will be awakened by the Valkyrie from the battlefield, then taken away in an invisible soul form by the Valkyrie and disappear in the mid-air.
"Heroic Spirit Hall?"
Duncan instantly thought of many things, including his initial Heroic Spirit Transformation form in the Law of Cause and Effect projection — Demon Hunter Duncan [Lower Rank Heroic Spirit].
He suddenly realized that if in the year 394 AD, when the Olympic flame was extinguished and the Pantheon doors closed, marking the official demise of the ancient Greek Pantheon and Roman Pantheon factions, then this era’s polytheism still has a faction that hasn’t been wiped out by the church.
They rooted in the Germanic Barbarians, and started a massive invasion of the Roman Empire around 400 AD, causing irreparable damage to the then ’fully Christianized’ Empire.
This time point seems interesting.
Just after the demise of the ancient Greek and Roman Pantheon, the Germanic Barbarians in the north began their Barbarian invasion, wave after wave, impacting the territory of the Roman Empire.
The western expedition of the Huns might not be the whole reason.
"There are also subsequent Viking invasions..."
"Scandinavia, the most ferocious Northern European nation also started to attack and plunder Europe, they shouted Odin’s name, riding dragon-headed ships to raid the coastal areas of Europe."
Does this mean that the religious war between Monotheism and Polytheism is not over yet?
The Roman Empire is about to fall.
What Monotheism wiped out was the factions of the ancient Greek and Roman Pantheon, whereas the Norse Pantheon still has the power to fight?
Does it represent the counterattack of the Norse Pantheon?
In this Mythical Era when supernatural powers are greatly restricted, even divine spirits can only use other methods to influence ordinary people to determine the ultimate victory and defeat in faith?
Duncan didn’t know if the ancient Greek and Roman divine spirits were dead, and the Crow Queen Triss only mentioned that they abandoned the priests.
This is a bit like the mythological games he played in his previous life, where the factions of Pantheon camps were wiped out in the real world, and faith sacrifices were cut off together, and eventually this Pantheon almost had no influence in the real world.
Heretic Julian could be seen as the emperor of the empire supporting the ’restoration of the ancient Greek and Roman Pantheon’, but with the emperor’s sudden death, the coffin lid was nailed shut.
The church cleansed the remnants and heretics, just to nail the coffin lid tight, with another cross suppressing on top.
This was the second unit Duncan saw labeled as ’three-star gold’ supernatural unit, the Valkyrie of Norse Mythology, Valkyrie, whereas the previous three-star gold unit was Demon Hunter George, a figure from church mythology, the story of ’Saint George slaying the dragon’ has continued to the 21st century.
"It seems that the strength of mythological characters isn’t so strong as to be incomprehensible."
They can fight, can break defenses, but most likely will die violently.
So far, Duncan couldn’t completely figure out the supernatural power system of this world, but based on the clues he currently acquired, the supernatural power of the Middle Ages seems to be at the level of the Middle-earth Magic Ring.
The Crow Queen Triss’s usual strength might not even match those Maia’s human form.
As for Demon Monarch Sorun, Elf Queen Kaela, Elf King Elrond, Duncan has yet to encounter such powerful beings.
The Crow Queen Triss would definitely lose in a melee against Gandalf, probably would be crushed by Gandalf, but perhaps her spellcasting ability might be slightly stronger.
After all, when she ran rampant during the ’Divine Descent’, she exhibited extraordinary magic power, somewhat akin to the Elf Queen Kaela slaying beastman warriors instantly.
At that time, the Crow Queen Triss probably mobilized a fraction of divine spirit force, that ancient sacrificial stone temporarily granted her part of the Mythical Era’s strength.
Beowulf or King Arthur too, those legendary characters, their combat strength shouldn’t be much stronger than the escort group of the Magic Ring. (Using Elf Prince as a measurement unit. The strongest opponents encountered so far are about 0.5 Elf Prince.)
After all, Beowulf died in battle after slaying the dragon.
The most terrifying supernatural power Duncan has seen so far was the Crow Queen Triss’s rampage.
"Severus’s strength suddenly increased?"
"Is it because upon entering the Celtic mythology’s faith region, his spellcasting ability recovered? Gained the special ability to speak with animals?"
"Maybe he can transform?"
At this moment, Duncan’s heart was filled with many confusions, but he can feel the mist shrouding the world is gradually dispersing, he’s increasingly able to see the hidden truths of this world.
"Holy Grail power exists."
