Chapter 256: The Heart of Yggdrasil (Part 1)

The fighting in the cave has basically stopped, just like on the ground. Richard, Diluka, Freya and Richard's tentacles surround Fenrir and Ymir in the middle, with Ymir holding Loki as a hostage.

After Ymir captured Loki, Richard signaled Freya and Diluka not to act rashly. Loki's value is not high now, and Richard is no longer concerned about his life or death. Moreover, Ymir captured Loki instead of killing him but holding him hostage. Since the hostage is for negotiation, Richard is very curious about what Ymir will say. As for escaping, Ymir has been forced out of the vicinity of the teleportation array by Richard, and it is difficult to escape by the teleportation array.

Freya took a few steps to the side, holding her breath and peeked at the battlefield, wanting to find a chance to attack Ymir. If she couldn't attack Ymir, destroying the pages in Ymir's hand would be acceptable. Now Fenrir, who was protecting Ymir, was surrounded by frost, interfering with everyone's vision. If the remaining pages in Ymir's hand were destroyed, as long as the control effect lasted for a few hours, Fenrir would be able to regain his consciousness. Although Fenrir might go berserk after that, making the loss of composure more complicated, Freya didn't want to be restrained by others.

Freya made up her mind and went around Richard's tentacles. She quietly pulled the bow and arrow with her fingers and used the invisibility spell. The transparent bow and arrow would not be discovered by the enemy before it pierced through the enemy. Moreover, Freya hid behind the thick tentacles. From this angle, Ymir could not see her drawing the bow. Using her divine power to lock Ymir's position, Freya pulled the bow to its full extent and gave Richard a look. Richard hooked his fingers behind his back and Freya shot the invisible arrow, which penetrated the tentacles and went straight to Ymir.

"Hurry..." As soon as Freya shot the arrow, Richard felt something was wrong. The attack failed.

Ymir kept his eyes on Richard. He didn't pay attention to Freya hiding behind her tentacles. After all, Ymir didn't expect Freya to shoot through Richard's tentacles in order to hide, and he didn't expect that Richard's tentacles didn't bleed even a drop of blood.

"Lord Ymir, you are not paying attention~"

A female figure appeared beside Ymir, holding a gorgeous umbrella. The style was very familiar, the same as the one used by Fina, but the color was darker.

Freya's invisible arrow hit the gorgeous umbrella at once, canceled the invisibility, and fell to the ground.

The woman holding the umbrella turned the umbrella around and put it back, revealing her face.

"Fina? What's wrong with you!" Diluka looked at the woman in shock.

Richard shook his head and said, "That's not Fina, it's Fina's sister Menia."

Menia glanced at them, then turned to look at Ymir and said, "You can never let your guard down when facing the goddess! What's more, you haven't even won yet!"

"Oh my, it was a close call! You're amazing, Menia, I'm fine thanks to you." Ymir smiled and nodded to Menia, then turned to look in Freya's direction. "Freya, I didn't expect it. In order to hide, you even shot through Richard's tentacles, and your aim was so accurate. It's a pity that luck is not on your side."

"Hmph! You man is still as annoying as ever." Freya failed in the sniper attack and could only walk out from behind the tentacles, with one hand on her waist and looking at her old rival.

Menia took a look at the situation on the field, smiled and walked over leisurely. Fenrir's frost mist wall opened a hole for her. Menia walked to Loki, patted his face and said with a smile: "How are you, Lord Loki. Why are you a prisoner now? It's so unfortunate. Have the rebels met their end now?"

Loki gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Menia!"

"My sister really followed a stupid master~ Oh yes! I forgot, you are no longer my sister's master now!"

"Is that what you wanted to say! You bitch!"

"Pa!" Menia slapped him, and for the first time, her expression showed a very unhappy look.

"Forget it, you are just a bereaved dog. It's useless to be tough. You will soon realize how stupid it is to betray your own race."

"Hehe~" Menia laughed and looked at Ymir. "Lord Ymir, you have got the things, right? Can you give them to me now?"

"Of course I have, but I can't give them to you now, okay." Ymir looked at Richard and pursed his lips.

Menia understood, turned to look at Richard, and saluted him.

"Lord Richard, Lord Ymir has won the heart of Yggdrasil. According to the rules of the King's Order, Lord Ymir will become the new Demon King. So, please go back. The Rocky you supported has lost the war, and he is now accused of betrayal, which has also affected your reputation in the demon world. I know that you helped Rocky in order to gain certain benefits, and I believe that what Rocky can give, Lord Ymir can also give."

Ymir immediately agreed: "Menia is right, Mr. Richard, I can give what Rocky can give, and I can give more, what do you think?"

Richard thought for a while and said: "It can be considered. However, what exactly is the heart of Yggdelsilu?"

Menia smiled and said: "I know you will give this wise answer. Lord Ymir, now I need you to show your sincerity!"

Ymir took out the key from Rocky without hesitation.

As if he had found prey, Menia's eyes lit up: "Yes, this is the heart of Yggdelsilu."

Richard narrowed his eyes, the key is the heart of Yggdelsilu! Although Ymir said it before, it is still possible that it was a smoke bomb deliberately released to disturb Richard. Menia is the lieutenant of the Demon King, and what he said has a certain truth. Rocky's key is very likely to be the heart of Yugdelsilu.

However, Richard is a little confused. He has never sensed any form of power in the key. Whether it looks or Rocky says it is just a craft or decoration. Moreover, Rocky and Fina are very sure that this key was left to Rocky by Rocky's mother, Simora. Why is Yugdelsilu's heart in the hands of the demons?

"I have a question." Richard asked directly, "Rocky told me that the key was left to him by his mother. Why is it the heart of Yggdrasil?"

Ymir smiled and replied, "Because it was decided hundreds of years ago!"
