Chapter 286: Why Is My Career Panel in a 2D Art Style? Chapter 130

The god's brother?

No. Inside was something far stranger—not just the god, but other auras she couldn't identify, one of which vaguely repelled her.

Moreover, even the god's aura differed greatly from her memory.

But still.

Why would a divine-era creature appear in such perfect condition in this era?

More crucially, as a Servant, she could clearly sense the ocean-like magical energy within her Master's body.

Such a level of magical energy.

Skadi didn't understand why this person still needed to summon a Servant.

"Odin?" Li Ang said uncertainly, "He's… I suppose you could call him my brother?"

In the Dragon Clan world, the Four Lords were all offspring of the Black King; as 'Konstantin,' he had no reason to lie.

In the Type-Moon world's Norse Lostbelts, the cause of Ragnarök was the Fire Giant Surtr nearly burning the entire world—not Nidhogg devouring Yggdrasil as recorded in myth.

Perhaps due to the IAO Group's concealment of Famen, the lord of this Norse Lostbelt hadn't recognized his draconic identity.

As Li Ang pondered this, Skadi had already walked beside him: "I never expected to see the god's brother after death—I grant you the right to serve me."

"Though gods don't need wishes, in exchange, I will secure your victory in the Holy Grail War."

As she spoke, she extended her right hand, signaling Li Ang to help her up.

Li Ang didn't mind her attitude—after all, summoning Skadi was already a jackpot.

Runic runes, the Shadow Realm, Noble Phantasms.

Any one of these could grant Li Ang tremendous advancement.

Skadi's direct combat ability, however, held little value for him, especially since all summoned Servants suffer drastic power suppression.

Thus, after leaving the basement with Skadi, Li Ang naturally made his request: "Please teach me the Runic runes."

"Remember to call me Skadi the Great," Skadi corrected him with slight displeasure, then asked with a complex tone, "But why does the god's brother need me to teach Runic runes?"

Li Ang wanted to say this god wasn't that god—even if the Odin of the Dragon Clan world appeared, he'd be baffled by Runic runes.

But in the end, he remained silent and nodded.

Due to historical discontinuity, modern practitioners use the technique called Runic Magic, while the divine-era used the Primordial Runic Runes.

They differ fundamentally; the latter resembles a divine authority.

'It seems the Primordial Runic Runes might affect the transformation conditions of the Bronze and Fire King.'

Seeing Li Ang's expression, Skadi, as if recalling something, faintly smiled: "Then it depends on your performance."

Then she surrendered to the ice cream assault.

Skadi, whose true form was the Goddess of Winter, had no resistance against such cold, icy treats.

And due to her Lostbelt origins, though she appeared mature and bore the title of Bride of the Gods, she was in fact an elderly spinster.

Of course, anyone who mentioned this to her would earn her fury.

"Cough—your service pleases me," Skadi set down her spoon, feigning dignity, "I accept your request to teach Runic runes."

Even if she refused, Li Ang could force her compliance with his Command Spells.

After signaling the maid puppet to clear the table, Li Ang remembered something and spoke: "By the way, a child hopes you'll teach her too."

One sheep is herding, two sheep is still herding—might as well let Kiritsugu Sakura learn as well; how much she absorbs depends on her talent.

Yet when Kiritsugu Sakura appeared before Li Ang, he furrowed his brow slightly.

Somehow, a bright red mark had already appeared on the girl's right hand.

Li Ang was certain this mark hadn't been there this morning.

After brief thought, he asked: "Skadi the Great, can you hold Sakura's Command Spell on her behalf?"

Skadi was highly satisfied with Li Ang's attitude and carefully observed the girl before her: "I can try."

At this, Li Ang nodded slightly: "I will assist."

He wasn't coveting Sakura's Master qualification; she was too young to bear the magical energy drain of a Servant—it would severely damage her body.

Honestly, whether he had one more or one fewer Servant meant nothing to him.

Thinking this, Li Ang patted the girl's head and comforted her: "Don't be afraid—it'll be over soon."

Hearing this, Sakura clutched her sleeve and murmured softly: ". Mm."

Seeing her state, Li Ang knew she'd overcome her psychological trauma soon.

Now, first, let's figure out how to hold Sakura's Master qualification on her behalf.

There are still two chapters today.
