Valkyrie Smash

Chapter 275 Look around you.

[Whoa… that really was something…] Juni's voice came from the giant blue robot as it slowly lowered its arms, having instinctively used them to guard its face and head.

The creation wasn't in its best shape. Cracks had spread through its outer layer and the joints made strange noises as it tried to stand.

Realizing it was a lost cause, the Valkyrie abandoned her creation leaving it to disappear into small particles. One look ahead and she realized the situation was much worse than she previously thought.

The Titans encircling Odin's palace were on a completely different magnitude. Standing side by side, they looked like a mountain range that couldn't be climbed. In front of them, humans and Valkyries were nothing more than ants. Even her Super Juni Robo didn't come close to the size of those things. Faced with such monstrosities, she felt herself losing hope for a few seconds.

"So these are the Titans your friend spoke of…"

Looking to her left, Juni was happy to see Ulfhild floating beside her. The short Nephilim seemed quite annoyed and her sharp eyes only served to exaggerate her expression.

"You lost your robot as well?" The Valkyrie asked.

"Look around you. Those things destroyed everything, including their own allies."

She was right. The Black Stone Giants were gone, both the regular ones and the Demons. All that was left was a sea of black rubble among which were the disintegrating creations of the other Nephilim.

"So?" Teleporting into the vicinity, Ingrid asked nonchalantly. "What are we supposed to do now? We were told to wait till the sixth shockwave before attacking those Titans, right?"

At that moment the sound of a weak detonation reached their ears. Hearing it the three waited a second before teleporting closer to the giants, appearing in an area that was already passed by the shockwave.

"We should just use this time to take a break." At some point, Solveig had appeared near them. Her tired, slightly annoyed tone startled the other three causing a series of glares to be directed her way.

"Found you~"

Seeing that four of their team had gathered they expected the fifth to appear next, but when they moved their gazes up they found themselves faced with an unfamiliar face. Juni's face twisted in an uncharacteristic grimace the moment she laid her eyes on the almond colored skin.

"You…"

"What? Did you forget about me already?" Panthesilea said, descending from the sky resting a large curved sword on her shoulder.

"Uwaah… what kind of out is that?" Ulfhild commented, giving the beautiful dancer a side look.

"She's… she's practically naked…" Solveig added. Her eyes were opened to their utmost in a surprised look, her cheeks taking on a red taint.

Juni looked down and realized she still had her uniform on. Since she used her robot from the very start she completely forgot to take it off. Her friends still had their uniforms on as well. There was no rule that said they couldn't go to battle wearing them, and with her wearing her battle suit undernead she saw no problem in staying like that.

"What are you saying?" Ingrid turned to her comrades with a raised eyebrow. "Our battle suits are so tight we might as well be naked too."

"This and that are completely different!" Solveig responded.

The battle suits were made to fit them perfectly, emphasizing their curves and enhancing their beauty all while providing practicality. The Olympian standing in front of them, however, seemed to have prioritized looks over functionality. Her outfit barely covered her private parts, and a good hit would be enough to leave her bare.

"I came to finish our fight from the other day." Ignoring the ramblings of the others, Panthesilea kept her eyes on Juni as she spoke. "We might not get another chance so how about we get done with it?"

"Hmm… I'm not so sure." Juni replied. "I mean, I have a lot to do right now. I can't really waste time playing with you."

"Well, too bad."

Taking her sword in both hands, the Amazonian lowered her posture and summoned her wings. Seeing that she was about charge at her, Juni created her bat then transformed it into a jagged sword. The three Nephilim summoned their weapons as well, but all of them knew it was best to not interfere in the duel.

Standing on an invisible platform, Panthesilea launched herself forward.

The two blades clashed and the Valkyrie was pushed back.

"Hey Juni!" Ingrid called. "Do you need help!?"

"No. I can handle this on my own!"

She threw her body up avoiding the kick directed at her left flank then pushed herself away, swinging her blade and turning it into a long whip. Panthesilea teleported a moment before the thin thread connecting the blades surrounded her. She appeared behind the Valkyrie, but her downward swing was blocked by nothing more than the hilt of the sword.

As they watched the battle ensue, the three Nephilim noticed a number of enemies heading their way.

"Seriously?" Ulfhild frowned, particles starting to gather in her hands and on her back. "I really hate close quarter fights."

One of the Olympians, a young man with dark skin, let out a loud battle cry as he swung down his sword. Ulfhild merely stepped to the side and allowed it to pass, and as the momentum carried the man and prevented him from moving, something flashed in front of his face and the next second his head became a splash of blood and brains.

The short Nephilim watched ass the corpse fell down then turned to look behind her. At the lower end of her back, a long tail made from multiple conjoined mechanical parts extended out. It starts thick at the base and ends with a sharp point. Despite how it looked it was quite flexible.

"Maybe I overdid it a little…" she said, scratching her cheek with the clawed finger of her gauntlet.

"Who cares!" Ingrid shouted before teleporting. "We're supposed to kill them anyway!"

The Olympian who had attacked her –a young woman dressed in a dancer's outfit similar to Panthesilea's and wielding a long spear– froze in her place when she felt the cold metal pressed to the side of her head. Before she could think of enhancing her force field and protecting herself, a single bullet penetrated her skull, coming out of the other side of her head along with a splash of blood and brains.

"Stay away from me!!!" Solveig cried as two Olympians headed her way, shouting threats and curses. Two purple drones floated on either of her sides firing a rain of energy bullets on the enemy who easily dodged them. Just as they reached her and prepared to swing their weapons, an invisible wall came in their way blocking their attacks.

"I… I warned you!" The next second, the two men were suddenly squashed into a small confined space, their bones crushed until they were nothing but a cube of blood and gore.

Just then the third shockwave washed over the battlefield once again forcing everyone to either block or teleport. By now no one attempted to create anything too big in fear of it shattering by explosive attack. Gigantic creations were incapable of teleportation so they had to bear the brunt of the attack and enhancing them with Force Fields was an impossible task. The Nephilim were left with no choice but to fight the Titans with normal weapons, but that didn't matter a lot since their main objective was to free their captured friends.

"Astrid, what's taking you so long?" Ingrid asked with a hand on her ear.

[Y-yeah I'm a little busy right now.] Came a voice through the communicator. [I got five of those vermins on my tail!]

"Just hurry it up! We can't summon the Big Guy without your Sharpwing!"

The fighting continued and soon enough the fourth shockwave arrived. It was then that one of the Titans was suddenly demolished, cut into pieces before crumbling to the ground. Watching it happen, Juni returned her focus to the dark skinned woman and began speeding up her attacks.

"Uh-oh~" Panthesilea exclaimed, surprised by the vigor behind the Valkyrie's attacks. "So you're finally getting serious."

"I don't have time to play with you." Juni said, her usual cheerful smile was long gone. "Sorry but I will have to end this quickly."

"Is that so?" The Amazonian replied. Her eyes suddenly sharpened and a series of strange tattoos suddenly appeared all over her exposed skin. A moment later they began glowing with a beautiful golden color and at the same time her movements sped up causing her blows to become heavier. "Then I guess I should do my best to hinder you."

The fifth shockwave arrived. Juni was incapable of separating herself from her opponent forcing her to teleport the two of them together. Putting one and one together, Panthesilea concluded that the four Nephilim were up to something that needed the cooperation of all four plus someone who had yet to arrive. Despite not knowing the details, she was adamant about not letting them achieve their objective and so she put everything she had into keeping Juni occupied.
