Overlord: The Path of Sin

[First Avatar of Odin]

"[Welcome back, brave warrior, to the heart of Valhalla. I see that fire in your eyes—the same fire that brought you here as an «Hero». But today, it's time to remember your strength-] "

Lucian observed as the boss began a lengthy speech, but he kept a close eye on its status and HP bar.

[First Avatar Of Odin]

HP - 700/700

MP - 300/300

Class - SP Raid Boss

Lucian couldn't help but be shocked by the boss's monstrous HP and MP stats. Even the other raid bosses he had faced didn't have this much HP. It was enormous, and he had a feeling it would take a long time to defeat Odin, especially with the lengthy speech still ongoing. While Lucian usually enjoyed listening to the stories and details in these speeches, today he felt the urgency to defeat the boss quickly so he could sign up for the world tournament.

"Just hurry up old man!" Lucian couldn't contain his impatience any longer and shouted at Odin to hurry up. After two more minutes, Odin finally concluded his speech, and it was time to get ready for battle.

"[Get ready, draw your weapon, and let your courage shine. This fight isn't just against me—it's against your own hesitation. Show me that you're ready to embrace your strength once more!]" Odin proclaimed.

As soon as the boss's dialogue ended, Lucian showed a determined smile and readied his lance. The two ravens perched on Odin's shoulder immediately flew toward Lucian, while Odin raised his hand, causing multiple magic circles to appear on the ground.

"Starting with the mobs, huh?" Lucian remarked as he observed the two gigantic ravens coming at him. One of them flew directly toward him, its glowing black beak poised to attack. The other raven swung its wings, creating multiple wind blades aimed at Lucian. However, in an instant, he vanished from their position, reappearing right in front of the raven that was using its wings to unleash wind blades.

"No wonder people say birds are drones made by the government. When birds are this stupid, it's pretty hard to argue against it," Lucian remarked as he appeared before one of the ravens and thrust his glowing lance right at its head, dealing critical damage...

[-87]

Lucian glanced at the bird's remaining HP, realizing it still had over 100 HP left, which surprised him.

The other raven swung its glowing wings, launching sharp talon-like projectiles toward Lucian. However, Lucian's lance transformed into a shield, swirling open like an umbrella to protect him from the incoming attacks.

"Oops, there, was that a poisonous attack? No wonder my lance reacted," Lucian muttered as he dodged the raven that was now attempting to attack him with its glowing beak. He then jumped towards the real boss, Odin.

"Let's see your defenses!" Lucian exclaimed as two wings tore through his armor. Two golden wings, radiant and otherworldly, propelled him forward with lightning fast speed. Their radiant golden glow contrasting sharply with the battlefield's eerie setting. These were not his typical vampiric wings but rather Transcendant wings. He soared towards Odin, preparing to use one of his skills while eyeing the gigantic boss who was about to strike him with his spear.

"[Eldurhidlr]!" Lucian shouted, taking control and manually activating his Valkyrae. His entire avatar underwent a breathtaking transformation. His immaculate and handsome appearance shifted into an even more exquisite and androgynous beauty, alluring and ethereal. A red flame enveloped his armor, blazing with a fierce intensity, as if it could devour the entire world. His once-blonde hair transformed into a fiery, crimson cascade, and the golden outlines of his armor emitted a brilliant and radiant glow.

"Let's find out if you can withstand this one-hit kill move," Lucian said, wearing a bewitching smile as he gracefully dodged a raven mob summoned by Odin's magic. The moment it entered Lucian's passive abilities' radius, it burst into flames.

Lucian gazed at the colossal figure of Odin, firmly gripping his lance.

"[Star Solaris]," Lucian shouted, manually activating the skill. His white lance started glowing a fiery red and became engulfed in flames. The purple gem at its tip gleamed with a crimson light, as if it were absorbing the flames and concentrating them for a final, devastating attack.

High in the sky, Lucian pulled back his lance as if it were an arrow, taking careful aim at the forehead of the First Avatar of Odin. The fiery aura surrounding him coalesced into a bow shape, and with a powerful draw, he released the flaming lance. It shot like an arrow, piercing through the air with incredible force, heading straight for Odin's forehead.

Boom!

The entire area was bathed in a brilliant red light for a fleeting moment, as if the entire world itself was rupturing and burning, as if the sun itself was descending. What followed was a deafening and piercing sound, one that would have hurt Lucian's ears if he hadn't wisely muted the volume.
