Chapter 312 [Do you want to really...live? 】
"Roar!!!"
Hearing such sarcastic words, Explosion's eyes immediately lit up with scarlet fire, and he let out a shocking roar.
Hot power burst out from his heart and flowed throughout his body.
Immediately afterwards, the exploding glove suddenly burst into fierce flames and collided with the exaggerated giant hammer.
Boom——
Scorching air waves rolled and dust flew.
The cave, which was already unstable due to the shocking explosion just now, is once again on the verge of collapse.
Ural is relatively close to the battlefield, so he can see it more clearly...
The Fire Fist and the giant hammer collided without any fancy.
However, the fire on the glove did not spread to the handle of the hammer and cause damage to Xia En like before.
On the contrary, it seems to have been suppressed by some invisible force, causing the power of the flame to be greatly weakened.
"What's going on?"
"The hammer...there's something wrong with that war hammer! Wait, is that..."
At this time, Ural's heart With a shudder, I thought of a possibility.
"That's... [War God's Hammer]!?"
[Barbarian Ax Tribe] and [War Hammer Tribe] were the same family hundreds of years ago, so Ural had naturally heard of the legend of [War God's Hammer] .
It is said that the ancestor of their two tribes was one of the dwarves who had the blood of the God of War flowing through them.
The [Hammer of the God of War] was the first weapon forged by our ancestors from the corpse of a powerful [Fire] after they came to [Ghana World].
In legend, [War God's Hammer] has a suppressive effect on most weapons forged by dwarves.
It's like the suppression of blood between living things.
In addition, [Hammer of the God of War] also has magical effects such as strengthening the user and stimulating blood.
For these two tribes, this weapon is comparable to an artifact and has a very special meaning.
However, in the past few decades, no one in the [Warhammer Tribe] has been able to recreate the heroic appearance of [War God's Hammer].
So much so that Ural once thought it was a weapon that only existed in legends.
But now, this artifact really appeared in front of him!
“Who is that dwarf?”
“Could it be that he is the talented warrior of [Warhammer Tribe], Bronzebeard Warhammer?”
It’s not just Ural. , in the battlefield, other survivors of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe] also recognized the [Hammer of the God of War], and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"[War God's Hammer]? Isn't that a weapon that can only be used by those with the blood of the God of War?"
"When did [Warhammer Tribe] create such a character?"
However, these survivors did not wait to think more.
Earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out from all around.
“Kill!!!”
In the blink of an eye, the dwarves of the [Warhammer Tribe] rushed out of the hiding cave and faced the survivors who were injured by the explosion.
Apparently, this is the second link in the trap.
The explosion just now could not kill all the intruders, but it at least reduced their combat effectiveness by a level. Many people were seriously injured and unable to fight anymore.
At this time, the people of [Warhammer Tribe] attacked again, and the situation naturally quickly fell into a one-sided situation.
“Damn it, how could this happen?”
Ural’s face looked ugly.
In his original expectation, this operation should have been extremely simple and smooth with the support of Explosion and [Yangyan Tribe].
But [Warhammer Tribe] somehow knew of their arrival in advance, and prepared a huge "surprise" with great courage.
The most important thing is that , [Warhammer Tribe] also has a strong man who can compete with Explosion!
The situation was already very bad, but Ural still did not run away, but stared intently at the center of the battlefield.
He is still waiting for the moment when Explosion defeats Xia En.
Until now, he still doesn't believe that Burst will lose!
It’s just that Ural is destined not to wait for that moment.
In the field, Xia En and the explosive figures were so fast that they almost left their afterimages, constantly colliding and bombarding them back and forth.
Every collision stirred up layers of air waves, and even emitted waves of heat, scorching the dwarves around them to retreat.
A battle of this intensity is no longer something ordinary dwarves can get involved in.
Every collision was like a knock on Ural's heart, making his desire for power stronger.
He envied Explosion and the warrior of the [Warhammer Tribe].
If he could possess this kind of power, not to mention the [Warhammer Tribe], even the [Sunfire Tribe] would be conquered by him!
Unfortunately, while Ural was still dreaming, the white-haired dwarf Hope jumped out from behind him and knocked him out with a hammer.
……
……
At the same time.
Xia En was also a little surprised.
Although he was belittling Burst, the strength displayed by this dwarf was actually beyond his expectation.
After stimulating some special power, Burst's combat power reached at least the level of a fourth-level Mystic, almost one-tenth of Xia En's own strength.
Even though it was only one-tenth, the "Bronzebeard Warhammer" controlled by Xia En was definitely not his opponent based on physical fitness alone.
The reason why Xia En has been able to sustain for so long and still have the upper hand is mainly due to the special characteristics of [War God's Hammer] and [Secret Power of the Void].
[Hammer of the God of War] seems to be able to suppress the blood in the bursting body.
And [Void Secret Power] is a great killer weapon against secret power.
Xia En even suspected that Burst was the real awakener of the "Blood of the God of War", otherwise it would be impossible to explain his sudden surge in combat power.
The blood boiling like magma in the bursting body is also the characteristic of the activation of "Blood of the God of War".
However, despite this, Xia En is still sure of defeating him!
Every time there is a collision, a ray of [Secret Power of the Void] invades the bursting body and lurks temporarily.
Not even the boiling blood can remove it.
What's more, Xia En also has superimposed skills such as [Secret Touch].
When the [Secret Power of the Void] has accumulated enough in the explosive body, it can be detonated directly, which is equivalent to an "execution technique."
Boom! boom! boom!
In the rapid and fierce bombardment, Xia En and Burst's momentum became stronger and stronger.
Like two little suns, it naturally attracts everyone’s attention.
However, Xia En's body is much weaker than Explosion after all.
Under such violent stimulation, the muscles and bones inside the body began to collapse a little.
This means that the repair speed of [Secret Power of the Void] is beginning to fail to keep up.
"Aww——"
The bursting combat intuition was extremely sharp, and he let out a wolf-like roar again from his mouth, and pounced with his hands like claws.
Xia En was about to swing the hammer to meet the attack, but the muscles in his arm suddenly softened and his movements were somewhat deformed. As a result, the strength of the hammer was greatly reduced, and the direction of the hammer was even deflected!
Seeing this scene, Hope and the dwarves of the [Warhammer Tribe] felt their hearts sink to the bottom and turned pale.
Could it be that... Bronzebeard is going to be defeated?
So, who else can defeat Explosion?
Just when the patriarch Hope was a little desperate, something that was difficult for everyone to understand happened.
I saw that Explosion had clearly rushed in front of Xia En, and the sharp claws seemed likely to tear his throat open at any time.
But the next moment.
Burst's expression suddenly changed, as if he sensed some kind of fatal danger.
So instead of seizing the close victory, he retreated violently, retreating more than ten meters away like a ghost.
"Huh? What's going on?" Hope was very confused: "Why did Burst suddenly run away?"
And what surprised him even more was yet to come.
After retreating more than ten meters, Burst still didn't feel safe. Instead, he frantically moved and dodged in the cave, so fast that afterimages were left behind.
From the perspective of Hope and other dwarves, there was nothing around him, and Bronzebeard did not launch any attack.
At this moment, the scene certainly looks very strange.
But Xia En felt a little bit of admiration in his heart.
He naturally knew what Burst was avoiding.
Half of the mistake just now was due to the physical loss of control, and the other half was due to Xia En taking the initiative to use himself as bait, hoping to make Explosion relax his vigilance.
As long as the explosion is close enough, the [Deep Touch] pouring out can instantly take his life.
Unfortunately, Burst's intuition was sharp enough that he was able to resist the urge to kill Xia En and retreat in time.
At this time, Xia En's [Secret Touch] is actually ready to come out.
Burst's seemingly meaningless dodge was just to avoid this sense of crisis that came from nowhere.
However, Explosion struggled to dodge for a moment, but the sense of crisis never disappeared, and instead became stronger.
Bang Bang finally realized that this seemed to be some kind of combat technique that locked him, and he could no longer escape.
After understanding this, Burst stopped his movements, took off his gloves and threw them on the ground.
Then he said directly: "No more fighting, I surrender."
"I...surrender to you."
His tone was still weird, but his meaning was very clear.
"...Huh?"
Hearing this, Xia En had a strange expression.
Judging from his previous performance, he always thought that Burst was the type of berserker with a violent personality - the kind that would not stop until the last drop of blood was shed.
How could such a person surrender?
Xia En originally thought that Burst wanted to pretend to surrender and then launch a sneak attack, but after careful observation for a while, he found that Burst really had no resistance.
Thinking about it carefully, Xia En barely understood the idea of bursting.
His thinking mode is closer to that of a beast than a human.
In other words, survival is placed above everything else.
He may not understand what tribal belonging, morality, and emotions are.
Right now, Xia En has the ability to kill him directly, and there is no way to avoid the explosion. Naturally, he can only choose this seemingly shameless method to survive.
After thinking for a moment, Xia En said: "It is not impossible to accept your surrender."
"But, in exchange, I will completely control your life."
Burst hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay..."
"The most important thing is to survive..."
So, Xia En walked in front of the bursting body, put his hand on his head, and injected the [Secret Power of the Void] into it.
This secret power has developed many new uses in his hands.
——This method of controlling life is one of them.
The moment Xia En stretched out his hand, his explosive body obviously resisted, but he still resisted the urge to take action and slowly lowered his head.
This is also his way of showing surrender.
Seeing this, the surrounding [Warhammer Tribe] dwarves instantly became excited.
They did not expect that Xia En not only defeated Explosion, but even gained his surrender.
I don’t know who shouted first.
“Bronzebeard!!!”
Immediately, everyone responded together.
"Bronzebeard! Bronzebeard! Bronzebeard!"
The dwarves shouted Sean's name loudly, their faces full of excitement, excitement and admiration.
After this battle, Shane's prestige in the [Warhammer Tribe] can no longer be matched by anyone. He has become a hero in the eyes of the dwarves!
……
...
In a dark cave.
"Ah... my head hurts so much."
Ural woke up from a coma: "Here is..."
He slowed down and rubbed his head While looking around, he quickly came to the conclusion that this place seemed to be a cage-like cave.
Apparently, he had been captured and imprisoned by the [Warhammer Tribe].
Next, what awaits you is becoming a slave or being killed.
Ural was in a very gloomy mood.
He never expected that this battle would end with such a result.
At this moment, he found a piece of paper made of unknown leather lying in the corner not far ahead.
"...This is?"
Ural approached the leather paper carefully.
And just when he was about to touch the piece of paper, there seemed to be a whisper in his ear.
【Do you want power? 】
【Do you want to really...live? 】
Ural's body trembled, but he still reached out his hand without hesitation...
Not long after.
Feeling that another thread in his mind was connected in the [Rhine Secret Realm] and [The Furnace Secret Realm], Xia En raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
After questioning and observing the prisoners, he finally chose Ural as the second "believer."
However, unlike Kuhl's "fighting alone", Xia En hopes that Ural can publicize the existence of [Lord of the Rhine] among the captives.
After this attack by the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], it was certainly impossible for Xia En to just let it go.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is his style.
After that, after conquering the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], there will definitely be a large number of prisoners.
Emotions such as hatred, anger, and despair are undoubtedly the best breeding ground for "cultists".
In this way, more "threads" can be established between the two [secret realms].
The existence of [Lord of the Rhine] sounds too suspicious after all.
Even with Shane's current prestige, if he promotes his existence in [Warhammer Tribe], Hope will only be able to see through the nature of the "evil god" at a glance.
So, Shane’s decision is-
On the surface, he continues to conquer other tribes and establish a larger dwarf kingdom.
Secretly, the [Lord of the Rhine] spread among the captives and slaves.
When the time is right, send the dwarves into the [Rhine Secret Realm] batch by batch.
In this way, he not only has a kingdom in the [Forge Secret Realm], but also allows the [Rhine Secret Realm] to enjoy the technology and equipment support of the dwarves.
However, Xia En's plan has just begun.
The road ahead is still very long.
