Chapitre 297: A Battle in the Air, Part 2

Note: I edited the previous chapter, so I recommend a reread. Changed the prose so that the fight in the air and the explosion scenes are better written. Moved the catching scene here.

Also, a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!

Like a bird of prey, I dove for my target with gusto. It didn't even matter to me that the ground was getting closer. My focus remained fixed on Gungnir's broken shaft. 

Suddenly, heat pressed against my back, and my werewolf sense drove me to barrel-roll out of the way of the column of emerald fire rushing toward me. I managed to dodge it, which was great because my clothes were burnt enough. Hel, the flames that still stuck to my robe were licking at my exposed skin now too. I was just lucky that my fire resistance was strong enough to keep me from getting burned. 

"All-Father…give me strength!"

 I was so close now that I needed only to stretch my arm toward the tip of Gungnir's broken shaft. 

"Come…on!"
