Chapter 19 - Leaving and Hela (2/2)
Elijah decided to tell his mother Jean's story , she really sympathised with her and her struggles. Then she asked :” Is there anything i can do to help ?”
” Yes mother , i'm planing on travelling and Jean here has a mission to execute . When her mission is over , i need you to get dad to help her return to medical college , she is very bright and is a medical prodigy. All of her expenses will be covered by me .” -Elijah
Elijah hugged his mother and said goodbye to her and left her office . Jean followed him and asked curiously:” Where are you gonna go ? ”
”Niflheim ”Elijah
” is it that place in the nine realms where there is cold and mist ? What 's in there ? ” asked Jean as she was aware of planets in the universe , it was an essential part of her training to study different and know different places .
”A strong opponent .” Elijah
Elijah was suddenly enveloped by a hug from the back , it was Jean's voice that said : ” Please come back safely Please .”
Elijah turned around and hugged the young girl , kissed her in her forehead and ȧssured :” i'll come back for sure . Don't worry .”
-Niflheim-
Cold , darkness and mist shrouded the icy lands of Niflheim. No soul could be seen in the distance only ancient remains of battle. In this bleak atmosphere, a figure clad in a black Shihakusho with a sheathed Katana is seen walking through this realm of the dead . The figure's long white hair illuminated his presence.
Elijah has arrived in Niflheim and he had been walking for two years , exploring the realm on his way to his destination , Hel . Elijah met on his way several stray dead souls that escaped from Hel . Seeing several dead souls and being in a place of death has helped him understand more of Death Law .
Elijah approached Hel gates and he could see around him remnant of the epic battle between the Queen of death and the Valkyrie , several bones , remains of the Valkyrie Steed could be seen covering the ground .
Elijah approached the gates and saw the body of a giant Hellhound , who Elijah guesses to be Garm , the guardian of the entrance
The latter the approach of someone opened his eyes and seeing Elijah , pounced to try to stop him from passing through . Elijah seeing the advance of the hellhound , put his palm of the icy ground and several chains pounced from underground circling the Hellhound slowly and steadily binding him and hindering his movements. Elijah ignored the struggling Garm and passed through the gate .
Elijah arrived at a grand glum looking castle , he entered and walked its halls when a creepy voice rang in :” well well look at what we have here , it seems my father is spoiling me sending me toys to play with . ”
Elijah looked ahead the great hall similar to the one in Odin's palace to see a throne where a young woman clad in black and green clothes with black smooth long hair that flows on her back and some hiding her right side of the face . Elijah thought inwardly:' How emo ' .
Elijah walked forward with steady pace facing the Queen of death , the strongest asgardian beside Odin and the one responsible for Asgard being it what it is today , Hela , the Goddess of death .
”Oh your father didn't send me .” -Elijah
”And pray tell who did send you ?” Smirked Hela in sarcasm.
” i'm not here for your daddy issues , you can tend to them when you get out if you ever get out of here before he's dead .” Said Elijah stoically.
Hela's face turned red in anger after Elijah's comment prompting her to leave her throne and send a Summoned Necrosword at Elijah , the latter just shrugged and moved his right hand then the Necrosword approaching him stopped in its tracks and disintegrated. He looked toward the angry Hela chuckled and said :” it seems being locked up in here made you lose your touch .”
A pin drop silence echoed in the castle , Elijah put his hand on his katana with his thumb supporting the cross-guard. Hela in her anger bursted in speed toward Elijah summoning a Necrosword in her hand and attacking Elijah . He countered it and blocked the slash . She continued to slash at him . He deflected all the attacks and began to respond with his attacks too . Two blurry figures could be seen and sword clacking could be heard . Elijah enjoyed the battle , it was hard to find an opponent with her caliber , millions of years of experience and reuniting the nine realms made Hela the perfect combatant . Hela started using her death mist in her attacks to try and hurt Elijah . The latter countered by flaming himself protecting himself completely from her Death mist . Slash after slash , the battle raged and the collateral damage showed in destruction of several places in the castle . Elijah evaded a sword thrust and moved his right hand from his zanpakutõ and put it on Hela eyes then sent a powerful psychic illusion. Hela halted on her place . Inside her mind , she could see the creation of the universe, the six singularities , the celestials , how she is a speck of dust in this universe , she saw pst events billions of year flowed in her vision in mere seconds until she saw a vision where she was impaled by Muspelheim's sword but not when and where . Hela opened her eyes and exhaled deeply at the experience when she looked around , the man that fought her is nowhere to be seen ...
