Lin Feng's eyes fluttered open, and he found himself lying on the ground, his head throbbing with pain. He sat up slowly, taking stock of his surroundings. The city was in chaos, buildings were burning, and people were running wildly through the streets.
Freya was nowhere to be seen, but Lin Feng could sense that she was still nearby. He stood up, his eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of danger.
The explosion had clearly been a deliberate attack, and Lin Feng had a feeling that it was connected to the Heart of Asgard. He knew that he had to find Freya and get to the bottom of what was happening.
As he made his way through the crowded streets, Lin Feng encountered many injured and frightened civilians. He did his best to help them, using his skills to defend them from any further attacks.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, Lin Feng spotted Freya. She was standing on the steps of the palace, her eyes fixed intently on something in the distance.
Lin Feng followed her gaze and saw a figure standing atop a nearby building. It was a woman with long, flowing hair and a white dress that seemed to glow in the fading light. She was holding a staff that pulsed with dark energy.
"Who is that?" Lin Feng asked Freya, his voice low and urgent.
Freya's eyes were fixed on the woman, her expression grim. "That is Helga, a powerful sorceress who has been trying to steal the Heart of Asgard for years," she said. "She will stop at nothing to get it."
Lin Feng's eyes narrowed as he watched Helga. He could sense the power emanating from her, and he knew that she would be a formidable opponent.
"What do you want me to do?" Lin Feng asked Freya, his voice firm.
Freya's eyes flicked to him, and she nodded. "I want you to stop Helga," she said. "She cannot be allowed to get the Heart of Asgard."
Lin Feng nodded, his mind racing with strategy. He knew that this would be a difficult battle, but he was determined to emerge victorious.
As he charged towards Helga, Lin Feng could feel the energy building up inside him. He was ready for this fight, and he would not back down.
The battle between Lin Feng and Helga was intense, with both sides trading blows and neither gaining the upper hand. Lin Feng's skills were put to the test as he faced off against Helga's powerful magic.
But Lin Feng refused to give up. He knew that he had to protect Asgard and its people, and he was determined to stop Helga no matter what.
As the fight raged on, Lin Feng began to gain the upper hand. Helga's magic was powerful, but Lin Feng's determination and skill were proving to be too much for her.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Lin Feng delivered a crushing blow that sent Helga flying across the rooftop. She landed hard, her body battered and bruised.
Lin Feng stood over her, his chest heaving with exertion. "It's over," he said, his voice firm. "You will not be taking the Heart of Asgard today."
Helga glared up at him, her eyes filled with hatred. "This is far from over," she spat. "You have not seen the last of me."
And with that, she disappeared into the night, leaving Lin Feng to wonder what other challenges lay ahead.
Freya approached Lin Feng, a look of gratitude on her face. "Thank you," she said. "You have saved Asgard from a great danger."
Lin Feng nodded, his eyes scanning the horizon. "I'm not done yet," he said. "I still need to know more about the Heart of Asgard and why it's so important."
Freya nodded, a small smile playing on her lips. "I will tell you everything," she said. "But first, let us tend to the wounded and restore order to the city."
And so, Lin Feng and Freya worked together to rebuild the city and tend to the wounded. As they worked, Lin Feng learned more about the Heart of Asgard and the secrets it held.
But despite the progress they made, Lin Feng couldn't shake the feeling that there was still much more to come. The battle with Helga may have been won, but the war was far from over.
