A few days passed, Mordred and friends continued their training with Scathach full time. Because the forces of Asgard were on the hunt for Fenrir, Skoll, and Hati.
They were trained until they were ragged by Scathach. She might haven't done much in the land of shadows during her stay there. But as a warrior, she honed her skills to the absolute limit as a demigod.
Her soul has strengthened due to bathing in the blood of mythical beings and gods. So her body also followed the strength of her soul that is tinged with divine power.
And the result is, Mordred and his kin were getting their asses kicked. "Come on, fight harder! Coordinate better! You must go into battle like you are one entity!" Scathach shouted as she fought with them while handling two spears herself.
"Easier said than done master! Boost! Transfer!" Ise lost a lot of her aura and her accumulated strength went to the magic types. Lavinia, Cleria, and Dulio were on support duty because they won't last against her on ground combat.
And of course, the one who was holding her off is Mordred. After a quick clash against each other, he jumped backwards and started skipping.
"I guess I have to try master's secret technique even though I still haven't got it down. Shukuchi." Mordred disappeared from his place as the ground exploded.
He realized that Scathach was seriously holding back on him back then. Because she didn't use her magical movement technique that distorts space so you can arrive far faster to your target than normal.
Mordred crashed against her spears and Vali saw the opportunity he created. She flew right towards Scathach and did her darndest to touch her.
Vali managed to touch her with a finger before she was kicked away with Mordred. Scathach jumping and blasting them by making a split while in midair.
"Damn, that's hot." Ise commented and she got smacked by Shirone who was trying to fool Scathach using yojutsu with Kuroka.
"Divide! I can't divide more, Albion's already releasing excess power!" Vali warned and Mordred nodded at the magic team.
Lavinia released her balance breaker with Incinerate Anthem. "Drache des Himmels." (Dragon of Heaven)
A gigantic construct of violet flames appeared. A western dragon formed and it flapped its wings. With a roar, it shot a breath of concentrated holy fire that would turn devils into ashes instantly.
"Cleria, take this! Transfer!" Ise boosted to her maximum and gave it to Cleria. She brimmed with power and couldn't hold it for long.
The ex devil used her worthlessness to disperse Scathach's mana. She couldn't turn her runes useless, because of a lack of knowledge.
Dulio also unleashed Zenith Tempest on Scathach and the raging storms that threaten the world caused untold mayhem around the area.
Meredith formed strong barriers with her nails as cores just like in Romania. Concentrating the power of their magic.
But they were surprised as Scathach just popped up again, unharmed.
"That's it! Obliterate your enemies, well done." Scathach buried herself deep inside the earth with magic and she used her runes there so Cleria's worthlessness won't reach and affect her much.
'Such impressive firepower from these brats, they can cooperate really well!' Scathach then suddenly blocked a stab from a katana. "Tch, what a monster." Masaomi clicked his tongue.
"Good, good. You even prepared a well timed assassination. The majority of warriors would've died ten times already." Scathach was pleased with their teamwork.
"Hah, well. We still have a lot to learn from you master." Mordred shrugged and Scathach nodded at him with a proud smile. Mordred and his team didn't think they could take her on at all.
They were confident with their plans, but they didn't get in their heads. 'Humbleness will take them to the top.' Scathach never thought she would be able to teach such good mannered kids.
The strong are naturally headstrong. Even the first hero from the past grew arrogant due to his confidence. But they were just proud to be doing well.
"I will give you a rest day, go on." Scathach gave them a surprising order that made their jaws hang.
"Somebody pinch me, this isn't real right?" Kuroka whispered to Shirone.
"I heard that, you'll be doing twice the training next time." Scathach pointed her spear at her and Kuroka paled. She then got gloomy as Shirone patted her back while shaking her head.
"You and your big mouth nee-san." Kuroka gave a pout to Shirone who was rubbing it in.
"We'll see you later master, thank you for your time again." Mordred waved goodbye and the others quickly teleported or they might get fucked over like Kuroka.
Mordred was a different case, he has balls of steel after all.
They returned to Asgard and Odin was actually waiting for them. "What's up my boy?" Odin smiled at Mordred and he got suspicious.
"What's with the welcome teacher?" Mordred raised a brow. Odin then coughed. "I actually have a request to make. You know that Nords are quite simple right? A lot of them are meat heads after all."
They nodded at him and Odin continued. "I want to arrange a party and have one of my sons fight with you. It will shut people up, they're being annoying." Odin clicked his tongue.
"How would that clear our name of suspicion anyways?" Ise didn't believe that would help.
"Easy, it will show that you don't need Fenrir to cause trouble." Odin shrugged and Ise thought about it deeply. Due to their education, she is much more levelheaded now.
"Ahhh, because if Mo-kun defeats a god. It would both show that he has power and isn't cowardly." Lavinia hit her palm with her fist.
"Yeah... And Thor just wants a good scrap against you." Odin revealed the real reason and Mordred got excited.
"Sure, teacher. I have been learning things... And I would want to test my mettle against a god." Mordred thought it would be a controlled environment to test his strength against the biggest hurdles for his ambition.
"Good! Good! I knew I could count on you, my faithful student won't disappoint me!" Odin laughed boisterously and they were led to a giant hall where numerous people drank, ate, and fought.
Tables and mugs were flying from time to time and there were people cheering. The Einherjar were a boisterous bunch.
"Oi! Listen up punks, this here is my student. Mordred Pendragon, and we are here today for one thing only. A trial by combat." Odin hyped up the crowd and they started jeering.
"One of my sons will be fighting him for this trial. Those who want to be the one battling, step up." Odin announced and a burly brunette with a large hammer walked forwards.
"I, Thor Odinson will be the champion of Asgard." His low voice resounded and everybody started cheering.
"Then, we will start." Odin teleported them to an isolated space so they could fight well.
"Hello, I am Mordred Pendragon." He waved his hand with a relaxed atmosphere and Thor laughed at his attitude.
"It seems that father is correct, you are quite fearless. Have you ever fought a god Mordred?" Thor rolled his shoulders and Mordred nodded.
"Yeah, she was very strong. So, let's get along Thor. Teacher is waiting, we should end this farce." Mordred took out the Kusanagi. He wondered how it will fare against Mjolnir.
"A divine sword? You get more and more interesting. Thanks for indulging my wish to fight against you." Thor smiled and lightning started arcing around his bulky body.
"Well, this will be quite fun. So I wouldn't say no to the opportunity." Mordred's sword hummed with a white and gold aura. Clouds gathering above them from out of nowhere.
Lightning started striking the ground as they looked at each other, sizing up one another.
Thor broke the silence and he threw his hammer towards Mordred. He could see that it was loaded to the brim with lightning magic. But the mana was special, as a god of thunder. Thor had authority over lightning.
Mordred raised his sword and it was struck by lightning. It then snaked around his body, the Kusanagi acting as a wand to control the divine magic.
He then jumped lightly and spun, turning his foot into a dragon's limb. Mordred kicked Mjolnir and it was thrown away to the side, surprising the peanut gallery.
"Oi, oi, boss. Kicking a god's divine weapon isn't as easy as it looks." Masaomi smiled wryly.
"Go Mordred, kick his ass!" Ise cheered and Thor laughed.
"As expected, you aren't that simple." He raised his hand and the hammer's runes glowed, it then went back right to him.
"Interesting weapon you got there, come on. The warm up is finished." Mordred skipped lightly and he disappeared from his place.
Thor went wide eyed and he could only raise his arms to an x as Mordred's draconic fist hit him.
The god skidded multiple meters, using Mjolnir to anchor himself on the ground.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Thor charged at him and smashed his hammer at him.
Mordred caught it with his arm, coating it with mana and runes that cancelled lightning magic.
But he winced when his arm creaked due to the strength of Thor.
"That was a bad idea." Mordred slashed with his sword and lightning went flying that stopped right in front of Thor.
'As expected, he could manipulate others' lightning. His authority over it means he has an advantage.' Mordred squinted his eyes.
"Kuahaha! You have balls! Using lightning against me." Thor threw Mjolnir at him with more strength and Mordred ducked, he then tried to catch it. But he flew with it.
"Guhahaha! My student is brave indeed! I put the runes on that thing you know? You need my blessings to use that!" Odin laughed and Mordred was suddenly hit by a storm of lightning.
Thor used Mjolnir as a lightning rod and Mordred was smoking.
"Yeah, kick his ass Thor!" The Einherjar were cheering for their side of course.
"Nice and toasty." Mordred cracked his neck and started to call more for his power. 'I need to see my strength against his full strength.' Mordred transformed and his aura rolled in waves.
Thor blinked at that and he grinned. Lightning began raining down from the heavens and his eyes turned into an electric blue.
"You getting serious!? Come! Our battle will be legendary!" Thor flew right at him and Mordred charged.
His every step cratered the ground and his fist met with Mjolnir.
Their attacks caused massive shockwaves. Lightning flew everywhere and they rebounded.
Mordred quickly regained his form with his tail and used it as a whip to wrap around Thor's leg.
It pulled on him and Thor suddenly lost his balance. Mordred then grasped his arm and smacked his face with his own hammer.
"Nyahahaha! I thought he couldn't use it old man?" Kuroka laughed boisterously and Odin was shocked.
"That kid is quite vicious father." A tattooed man with a slimmer physique laughed.
"His balls are large indeed Baldr. My children should learn a thing or two from him." Odin huffed.
"If you mean being a super pervert, then we'll pass father." A large man who is even bigger than Thor rolled his eyes.
"Shh, be quiet Vidar. Mordred is already his prized student. Now, he won't try to turn us into philanderers." Baldr shushed him.
They then watched Mordred continue to fight Thor. The two traded blows, but Thor was in a disadvantage due to Mordred's thick scales that acted as anti-magic armor.
Kusanagi which is in his offhand also deflected Thor's lightning. One of the god's most dangerous weapons besides Mjolnir.
"Hmm? What's that?" Odin frowned and everybody looked towards the skies.
A giant wolf then suddenly appeared in Thor and Mordred's battlefield while they clashed.
Mordred's instincts kicked in and he immediately used Shukuchi. Tackling Thor to the ground as their previous positions were suddenly bitten by the wolf.
The sound of jaws being shut tight was heard and they watched the new addition. Thor started sweating. "Thank you, young Mordred. That would've killed me."
"Fenrir, the god devouring wolf..." Mordred's eyes shone and his greed as a dragon flared.
"I want it." Thor looked at him with a dumb look on his face. "Excuse me?" Thor thought that his ears were playing tricks on him.
"It is a worthy familiar. Mom technically can be one, but I don't want to turn her into one." Mordred squinted his eyes.
'This kid is definitely insane...' Thor could only sweat at Mordred. Fenrir is actually feared all throughout the pantheons.
After all, it is considered as one of the strongest beings in the whole world. The top ten spot to be exact.
"Senile old man, I have Fenrir and his children with me right now. Not to mention..." Loki sneered as three giant eastern dragons appeared.
"So you cloned Jormungandr? Can't even let your own son follow you eh? He prefers to sleep after all." Odin laughed and Loki glared at him.
"That traitorous son of mine. No matter, I will rule the realms after I cause Ragnarok. From the ashes, will be an Asgard that I can call my very own. Skoll, Hati, attack!" Two smaller wolves that looked similar to Fenrir howled.
