Chapter 523: Dwarven Lord
Whether it was Derk's probing magic or the charge of the bear cavalry, there was a lot of commotion. Naturally, the sheep-headed monsters who were alarmed by these movements were of course also in a hurry to prepare for battle.
Therefore, the bear cavalry who rushed into the underground passage did not run for long, and saw a large group of sheep-headed monsters waiting in the distance.
"Huh!"
"Baa ......"
As the name suggests, the sheep-headed monsters all have a huge goat's head. But other than that, the sheep-headed monsters are no longer any longer similar to the cute sheep. And the three-meter-tall height, unusually strong muscles, black-red skin, and bloodstained long-handled sheep's horn war hammer, combined with the various contrasts brought by the goat's head, not only did not bring people any sense of comical, but also revealed a strange horror.
Especially when the sheep-headed monsters watched the bear cavalry gasp and show a mouthful of fangs in excitement, this strange sense of terror suddenly rose to the highest point.
This made Aisha, who had been following Witt Cast Iron on a black bear, subconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva, and felt a little hairy in his heart.
In contrast, the bear cavalry, who had already fought with the sheep-headed monsters a few times, did not show any abnormality, but silently clenched the war hammer in their hands.
"Rune mages! Magical blessings! ”
Werther Cast Iron, who had estimated the distance, decisively gave the order.
The rune mages riding the cave bears immediately slowed down the bears, and at the same time neatly removed a rune stone engraved with a bear claw pattern from their belts and crushed it vigorously. When the giant bears finally stopped the script, a ray of light also burst out from the metal staff of the rune mages, and accurately fell on the bear cavalry in their respective charges.
In fact, the maximum amount of group blessing magic that a rune mage can cast when crushing a special runestone is twenty people (including mounts). Therefore, the magic released by a hundred rune mages was enough to bless a full two thousand, far exceeding the number of bear cavalry brought by Werther Cast Iron, so that all the bear cavalry present successfully obtained the magic blessing.
At the moment when the magic light fell on the bear cavalry, a pattern like a bear claw appeared above the bear cavalry's heads, and then shattered into countless points of light and fell on the bear cavalry.
The next moment, both the cave bear and the dwarf knight took a deep breath, and then the muscles on the dwarf knight's body suddenly swelled, and the originally loose armor was fully propped up. At the same time, the size of the cave giant bear directly gained weight, and the bear hair on its body stood up at root, making the whole bear seem to be three points larger at once.
This is the strategic magic unique to the dwarven rune mages: the power of the herd bears!
"Phew!"
After receiving the blessing of magic, the bear cavalry, who felt that their bodies were full of power, shouted in unison, and then drove their mounts to speed up and slammed into the sheep-headed monsters in front of them.
Even if they rode the cave bears, the bear cavalry with a hard wound height was still not as tall as the sheep's heads, but relying on the advantages of tonnage and charge, the bear cavalry on the wire all successfully knocked down the sheep's heads in front of them, and then the giant bears stepped on it.
But looking at the blood spraying from the feet of the giant bears, the sheep-headed monsters in the second row and further back took a deep breath in unison, and then the sheep-headed monsters who smelled the smell of blood immediately went crazy.
The originally small eyes suddenly widened, and protruded directly from the eye sockets, and a large amount of blood covered the whites and pupils of the eyes, making the crazy sheeps-headed monsters all have blood-red eyes.
This makes the sheep-headed monsters look more like demons who like to kill everything and destroy everything.
However, the sheep-headed monsters obviously didn't care about this, and the sheep-headed monsters in the second row kicked the ground hard in unison after going crazy, and in turn launched a ramming attack on the bear cavalry!
Although the next moment, these sheep-headed monsters spurted blood from their broken mouths, but they also successfully blocked the charge of the bear cavalry!
In desperation, the Bear Cavalry in the rear had to tighten the reins and make the mount bear come to an emergency stop so as not to collide with the friendly troops in front.
This caused the bear cavalry to fall into a little confusion for a short time.
"Huh!"
At this moment, the sheep-headed monsters in the third row and behind them crowded forward, losing their minds, and only the enemy in front of them was left in their eyes.
Seeing that the bear cavalry at the front was about to make a handover with the sheep-headed monsters, Werther Cast Iron, who had already loosened the reins, stepped directly on the bear saddle, and then jumped forward vigorously.
"Moradin is on top!"
With Werther Cast Iron's loud shout, it was obviously in the underground passage, but a thunderbolt broke through the barrier of space and landed on Werther Cast Iron's body accurately.
Under the lingering lightning, Werther Cast Iron suddenly became taller and bigger, and the clothes on his body were directly burst, leaving only a pair of specially made large pants. Not only that, but his skin quickly turned black under the stimulation of lightning, and then began to glow like steel.
In just two breaths, Witt Cast Iron turned into an iron giant nearly four meters tall with lightning wrapped around his body!
Legendary Dwarven Warrior's Bloodline Ability: Storm Lord Transformation!
At this moment, the momentum of the "Storm Lord" on his body continued to skyrocket, and he directly reached the peak of the legendary level, and he was only a little short of being able to break into the demigod realm.
But this little distance is like a moat, no matter how much the momentum of the "Storm Lord" increases, it is stuck at the peak of the legendary level.
Before the "Storm Lord" could make any moves, the next moment, he had already crossed over the heads of the bear cavalry and landed heavily among the sheep-headed monsters.
"Bang ......"
When the "Storm Lord" landed, the wave of qi directly overturned all the sheep-headed monsters around it. While the nearest sheep-headed monster was still rolling in mid-air, the "Storm Lord" had already straightened up and slowly raised the warhammer in his right hand.
In the hands of the "Storm Lord", who is nearly four meters tall, this giant war hammer with a body length of one meter and a hammer head larger than the heads of the dwarves looks very handy.
So the "Storm Lord" who raised the warhammer subconsciously waved it.
The wind howled, enveloping the already thick hammer and forming a massive elemental hammer. It was precisely because of this war hammer that it suddenly became larger, and those sheep-headed monsters that could not be beaten were all swept into it together, and were knocked away by the "Storm Lord" with a muffled "bang".
Looking at the sheep-headed monsters that had turned into countless "parts" in mid-air, Aisha, who had overcome her fear of the sheep-headed monsters, couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
How did this dwarven lord who was so fierce and brainless to launch a madness suppress the cast-iron castle for so long?
Thinking of this, Aisha, who remembered about the bloodline abilities of the dwarven warriors, quickly had an answer, and looked at the iron giant who was rampage in front of her, and suddenly became a little complicated.
There will be no pie in the sky, and naturally there will be no price to pay, and you will be able to become super powerful. The more powerful the bloodline power, the greater the price to pay when using it.
Is this "Storm Lord Transformation" that Legendary Dwarven warriors can use? Of course it's strong, and it's a little too strong. Werther Cast Iron, who is still in the middle of the Legendary level, can instantly become a powerhouse at the peak of the Legendary level after using this ability. Then when he was young, when his strength was still at its peak, he would be able to use this ability, and it was estimated that he would be able to step into the demigod realm!
And in addition to greatly improving the strength, the "Storm Lord Transformation" can also make the transformer turn into a body of steel, exempt from magic and magic below the nine rings, and also has a very high reduction in various physical damage......
It is conceivable that with such an amazing effect of the bloodline ability, the price that the user has to pay is naturally very great.
As far as Aisha knows, the legendary dwarven warriors who once used this ability have all shown signs of aging since then, and their strength has also declined. This means that the price of using this ability is likely to be longevity!
Even if the dwarves belong to the immortal race, if this ability is used too much, it is still likely to die of old age in an instant after leaving the battlefield!
So Aisha couldn't understand why Werther Cast Iron used this trick that belonged to the final hole card so early.
At this time, Witt Cast Iron, who was fighting at the forefront, was full of helplessness in his heart.
Since the dwarves keep the secrets of bloodline abilities such as the "Storm Lord Transformation" very tightly, the other races can only speculate on the effects of these bloodline abilities through observation and various temptations. Therefore, even the magicians who like to do all kinds of research the most have only speculated that a powerful bloodline ability like the "Storm Lord Transformation" requires a lot of life force and even lifespan.
But in fact, as a legendary warrior of the dwarf race, Witt Cast Iron who used this bloodline ability knew very well that what this bloodline ability consumed was actually ...... Future!
Not only the lifespan, but also the possible improvement in strength in the future, as well as the possible birth of heirs, will be consumed by this bloodline ability!
Because of this bloodline ability, what is consumed is actually the bloodline origin of the dwarves!
In the myths and legends of the dwarves, the dwarves, like the giants, are derived from the Titans in ancient times. It is said that the giants inherited the strong physique of the Titans, while the dwarves inherited the natural abilities of the Titans.
According to this legend, a dwarven genius finally succeeded in developing the first transformation-like bloodline ability, "Flame Lord Transformation", after many attempts.
The principle of this transformation-like bloodline ability is actually very simple, that is, it simply and rudely injects the elemental power from the outside world into the body, so as to forcibly stimulate the power from the Titans hidden in the depths of the bloodline.
However, after several actual battles, the dwarven genius who developed this bloodline ability soon discovered the huge drawbacks hidden in it.
It is true that forcibly awakening this power of the Titan, which is impossible to be stimulated, can indeed bring great power, but the dwarves do not have the physique to withstand this power. Therefore, the result of forcibly awakening is that the dwarven warrior who has become the "Flame Lord" needs to consume a lot of life force to maintain that steel body!
Once the battle time is too long, the result of the vitality being greatly overdrawn is the loss of life......
If that's all there is to it, the dwarves who are immortals don't mind trading some of their lifespans for enough power. After all, when you're in a desperate situation, it's better to consume some life than to die on the spot, right?
But the drawbacks of this type of bloodline ability don't stop there.
Using this Titan power hidden in the depths of the bloodline to fight, it is inevitable that this power will be depleted. But the dwarves are not Titans after all, so the power of the Titans that is consumed is the power that the dwarves can't replenish even if they try their best.
What's more deadly is that when the power of the Titan, which is the source of the bloodline, begins to decrease, the affected dwarven bloodline will gradually weaken, so that the various innate abilities derived from the bloodline will also weaken to varying degrees.
Dwarven warriors who are adept at hammering will find that their hammers are becoming less and less adequate, dwarven guards who are adept at defense will find their skins thinner for some reason, and dwarven craftsmen who are adept at prospecting will find themselves gradually losing sense of where the veins are......
At the same time, the weakening of the dwarven bloodline will also greatly reduce the effect of other bloodline abilities.
If there is a Dwarven warrior who is good at hammering, he will be able to use bloodline abilities such as "Moradin's Hammer", "War Throw", etc. Then, after using the "Flame Lord Transformation", the power of his various bloodline abilities will be greatly reduced, and at the same time, his mastery of hammer skills will also be affected to a certain extent.
Therefore, when this dwarven warrior encountered a desperate situation again, he could no longer turn the tables with other weakened bloodline abilities, so he could only use the "Flame Lord Transformation" again......
In addition, if the bloodline ability and vitality are consumed too much at the same time, it will cause the dwarf to lose fertility!
This kind of disadvantage was unbearable for the genius of the dwarf race, so he worked harder to study the "Flame Lord Transformation". However, although he has successively developed a series of transformation-like bloodline abilities such as "Storm Lord Transformation", the drawbacks of this kind of ability have never been able to make up for it.
So after the genius of the dwarf clan died with hatred, the patriarch of the dwarf clan at that time listed these transformation bloodline abilities as a forbidden move: until the last moment, the dwarven people were not allowed to use them.
Over time, this series of transformation-type bloodline abilities has become a secret that only dwarven powerhouses above the legendary level are qualified to know.
As the lord of the Cast Iron Castle, Witt Cast Iron had encountered a desperate situation before establishing the Cast Iron Castle, and in desperation, he finally used the "Storm Lord Transformation" that suited him best. And one will have two, and with the number of times Werther Cast Iron has used the "Storm Lord Transformation", his bloodline ability has almost been weakened to the extreme. Without using the "Storm Lord Transformation", as a mid-level legend, he will probably not be able to beat even the newcomers to the legend.
Therefore, in order to be able to eliminate these sheep-headed monsters as quickly as possible and reduce the casualties of the bear cavalry, Witte Cast Iron can only perform the "Storm Lord Transformation" again......
