When Lu Xiao's soul withdrew from the eternal ice, a translucent ghost followed and floated next to him.
After leaving the protection of the eternal ice, the suction coming from Helheim began to tug at Skadi's soul.
Lu Xiao immediately protected Skadi's soul after returning to her body, and used the third method to semi-materialize her soul to prevent her from being dragged away by Helheim's rules.
In a world where the underworld exists, souls without physical attachments will be forcibly attracted by Helheim.
Skadi's semi-corporeal soul can only temporarily resist this attraction, but cannot be completely immune.
While fixing Skadi's soul, Lu Xiao turned to look at Tamamo Mae: "Xiaoyu, control your spiritual power, burn this piece of permanently frozen ice, and be careful not to hurt the bodies of Skadi and Sharkey."
Tamamo nods, and blue fox fire emerges from the top of her seven tails.
"I tried my best, but this kind of permanently frozen ice is very strong. I'm worried that my spiritual power is not enough."
"This is simple."
When Tamamo Mae completed the spell casting with dance assistance and began to control the fox fire to burn the surface of the ice, Lu Xiao stretched out his left hand and pressed it on her back, transferring his magic power to Tamamo Mae for use.
Mimir said with some amazement: "Brother, I never get bored following your adventures. You surprise me time and time again."
"Hunting Queen Skadi, I didn't expect her soul to still be in her body, let alone that you could save her from Hel's force."
Lu Xiao smiled nonchalantly: "Just because the soul realm happens to be my strength, it's best for us to have a guide when we go to Ymirheim."
Just as Tamamo-mae said, the permanently frozen ice that had existed for who knows how many years was very strong, and it took more than an hour for the high-temperature fox fire in Tamamo-mae to free the bodies of Sharkey and Skadi from the ice.
Skadi's body is dead, but due to the freezing and antiseptic effect of the permanent ice, her body is very slightly decomposed, making it relatively easy to dispose of.
Lu Xiao used time spells to manipulate the relative time of Skadi's body, allowing her physical condition to flow back to the moment before her death.
After carefully synchronizing Skadi's soul with her body and ensuring that Skadi's heart began to beat, Lu Xiao reintroduced her soul into her body.
Skadi wears a linen lining and leather armor that is convenient for walking in the forest and hunting. She wears a pair of dark tight leather pants on her long and muscular legs, and a pair of homemade warm animal skins on her feet.
boots.
After resurrecting from a long death, Skadi subconsciously picked up the longbow that fell on the snowfield and tried to pull the bow string.
The Hunting Queen frowned, feeling that her body was still a little stiff.
After releasing Skadi and Sharkey, Tamamo Mae did not withdraw the fox fire immediately, and the faint blue flames circled leisurely above her head.
Tamamo Mae frowned and closed her eyes, seeming to be going through some kind of difficult process.
Lu Xiao is directly connected to Tamamo Mae's magic circuit, and he can feel Tamamo Mae's state.
"Is it the eighth one?"
By increasing the magic power injected into Tamamo Mae's body, Lu Xiao helped her create the penultimate tail, which was only the last tail away from the perfect nine-tailed state.
"Huh~"
After the eighth tail grew out, Tamamo Mae let out a long sigh of relief.
Compared with the first eight tails, the last one is the most troublesome.
To explain in Tamamoae's own words, the ninth tail is the threshold for her to sublimate from a demon to a fairy, and the difficulty even exceeds the sum of growing eight tails.
"Walking the path of spiritual practice again gave me some new insights."
Tamamo-mae swung the eight fluffy tails on her back and said with some emotion: "The moment I return to the nine-tailed state, my power will be sublimated, I can bid farewell to the mortal body and step into the realm of immortals."
"But God knows how long this process will take. The new Nine-Tails is no longer just a matter of magic power. Let's take a long-term view in the future."
"Alas!"
One second he was explaining his condition in a serious manner, and the next second Tamamo Mae let out a sharp scream.
Skadi played with the fluffy and soft fox tail in his hand with curiosity on his face: "This tail is actually real. What happened during the time I died? Why can humans grow animal tails?"
Tamamo Mae is very precious to her tails and will take care of them whenever she has free time.
Since many of Tamamo Mae's spells require the cooperation of her tail, her fox tail has a large number of magic circuits, making her tail extremely sensitive to touch. Only people who are very close to her can touch her tail.
For example, Yongzhen.
"Bah bang bang!"
The remaining seven tails violently lashed at Skadi, forcing the hunting queen, who was still confused about the situation, to give up and retreat in pain.
"Who allowed you to grab my tail?"
Seeing Tamamo's grinning posture, Lu Xiao helplessly patted his forehead: "Scadi, our companion is not a human... It's more troublesome to explain, so let's talk as we walk."
…
When Lu Xiao and others set off again to the King's Court of Giants, Kratos and Atreus returned to their long-awaited home after a long journey.
This long and ups and downs trip brought the father and son a lot, but it also accumulated a lot of fatigue.
After returning home, the two went to sleep to regain their energy without saying a word.
In the past, the reason why this hut was undisturbed was because Laufey used magic to set up a barrier nearby.
Before Laufey died, she specifically asked Kratos to cut down specific trees in the forest as materials for burning her body.
There are runes carved by Laufei on these trees. Once the trees are cut down, the barrier will naturally become ineffective.
Although Kratos really wanted to sleep until he was full, the corpses wandering around the hut didn't think so. They instinctively followed the breath of the living to the vicinity of the hut.
"Boom!"
The sound of rough knocking woke Kratos and his son from their sleep.
"here we go again."
Atreus scratched his head in annoyance: "Why weren't there so many ghouls around here before?"
Kratos picked up the Leviathan battle ax and rushed out, spending a few minutes sweeping away the nearby corpses.
The roars of a large number of corpses still echoed in the mountains and forests near the cabin. Kratos thought for a while and finally made up his mind.
"Atreus, we have to move."
Atreus glanced at the hut behind him with nostalgia. This house held important commemorative significance for him.
After experiencing a thrilling adventure, Atreus was no longer a willful young boy. He knew that his father's consideration was correct.
"Okay, but where are we moving to?"
Kratos lowered his head and thought about it: "After Freya disappeared, the giant turtle that served as a mobile house also disappeared, but the fairy tale forest is still there, and there should be a barrier left by Freya nearby.
Protect."
Atreus's eyes lit up: "I still remember the runes Freya used when entering and exiting the forest!"
Kratos patted Atreus' head encouragingly: "Pack up your things and go."
"good!"
In the woods that Kratos and Atreus didn't notice, a green translucent crow was staring straight at them.
"Brachi, I have a task for you."
Braki, the god of poetry, who was amusing himself by playing music in the Temple of Tyr, was stunned for a moment, and then sighed silently.
