Chapter 31: Devouring the Enemy, the Sword of the Sworn Enemy

As Izzy and Tyrka Doomhammer chatted as they walked slowly towards Old Tabau's forge room, Izzy remembered the battle in which Kaslakr had died, and Tyrka was among them, and he curiously asked him how he had been able to defeat his enemies in the midst of so many ogres, and how he had dodged so many insidious attacks from all sides.

"How did you see that battle? Forget it, it's okay, just watch it. Orgrim was surprised and began to think, but after a moment, he spoke:

"I can't tell you exactly what to do, but I think the only thing you need to do in a battle is to focus on thinking, how to kill the enemy, and when the enemy is dead, you are not seriously injured and dying, you survive, and you will win.

"I don't know how to describe it, when facing an attack, sometimes it's more like relying on the instinct of the body, you don't really have time to think about it that much in battle, when you keep thinking about how to block the attack or dodge the attack, you will only face the enemy's endless attack on you, and you will eventually be killed by the enemy. ”

Izzy pinched his chin and thought about it, this paragraph, his father Yushuro had also said to him, to the effect that he usually trained carefully and memorized those movements in his body, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of those words at the time.

Now that he seemed to have a little clue in his heart, Izzy whispered thoughtfully, "Is it the instinct of the body?"

So saying, they had arrived, and old Tabor was lying on the chaise longue that Izzy had given him, smoking his pipe comfortably, and when he saw Izzy and Terka coming, he flicked his wooden pipe, and stood up and walked over to them.

"Terka, you're here, and I'm here today, not only because your armor has been repaired, but also because I want to talk to you about something. ”

"Elder, if there's anything you say, it's okay. ”

"I want you to take this child to the Foundry Pool. ”

Terka was immediately overwhelmed by surprise when he heard the name of the place, and for the first time Izzy saw the mighty warrior with a panicked expression on his face, and he also noticed Telka's wary look looking back at him.

Izzy walked out knowingly, they needed some personal space.

There seemed to be an argument in the forge room, but it didn't take long for the two to come out together.

"Let's go, kid, let's go and seek the knowledge of those elements now. ”

Izzy followed, and they walked towards the fortress that stood high on the mountain, and it was the first time Izzy had entered the fortress, which looked more like an excavation site, with several roads leading downward, and Izzy followed them all the way into the depths of the earth.

They stopped at the entrance to a cavern, old Tabor remained outside the cave, and Tyrca took Izzy inside, a small cave with a whirlpool of lava in the center. Terka spoke:

"This is the birthplace of the Hammer of Doom, and old Tabbo says you can hear the elements, and he thinks you'll probably hear more when you come here.

Izzy now understands that this is the place, the place where the Hammer of Doom was forged, and where the Black Hand was born.

"Do you know our family's prophecy about the Hammer of Doom?" Tellka asked suddenly.

Izzy knew it, but he had never heard it told him, so he shook his head, and Terka continued to speak slowly.

"This hammer is not an ordinary weapon, its fate is above me and my family, it is forged from the elements, it is powerful, and in the end the elements gave this powerful weapon to the ancestors of our family, but also gave a prophecy. Tella looked at Izzy with a complicated expression and whispered the prophecy.

"Before this weapon falls into the hands of outsiders, the last person in our family to hold it will bring destruction to his people, and then everything will change, and it will be used again for the cause of justice"

Izzy understood, and he smiled and said, "I don't want this hammer, it's not for me, I'm only here to pray for knowledge, even if you give it to me, I will never ask for it."

Tella was a little surprised, then smiled as well, while Izzy sat on the ground, opening up the elemental horizon and perceiving the cave.

"Who are you? I see you, but your form bewilders me, little one. "Something more wonderful than the elemental spirit sounded in my head.

Izzy could sense that there was a powerful presence here, as powerful as the planet itself.

"My name is Nagnosh Izzy, I'm a forger, and I'm a shaman, because when I was born, I was blessed by several elemental wrath on the Elemental Throne, so I seem to be a part of the elemental spirits, powerful beings. ”

"Mighty being? Are you talking about me? Little one, haha, I'm not strong, I'm just a heart, I'm the heart of this world, what are you doing with me? Is it seeking prophecy, or pride, or glory?"

"I came for knowledge, the knowledge of forging powerful weapons, and I know that the mighty hammer of destruction was born here. ”

"Oh, you want to know how a weapon like the Hammer of Doom is forged?"

"Yes, Great World Heart, I am willing to contribute in exchange for that knowledge, to forge a weapon like that. ”

"Tell me, then, what are you going to trade for my flesh and blood?" the voice began to rumble in Izzy's head, venting his anger.

Izzy was a little panicked, the Hammer of Doom was made of the flesh and blood of the heart of the world?

Cold sweat was oozing from Izzy's head, and he thought about how to calm the anger of the Heart of the World.

The palpitations in Izzy's heart grew stronger and stronger, and just as he felt that the lava in that pool was about to rush against him, he shouted, "I'm willing to exchange my flesh and blood for it!"

Izzy's mind slowly calmed down, and the Heart of the World was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Very fair deal, little one, you have piqued my interest, and I listen to your advice." ”

Izzy began to think quickly, where to exchange it, saying that the hair would not be killed? Common sense says that the flesh and blood of the heart should be exchanged for the flesh and blood of the heart, but if he changes himself, he may die, that is meaningless at all.

Now he has no choice but limbs, feet are impossible, flexible combat requires both feet, and the right hand is the same, which is the source of his spells, then the answer is very simple, he can only exchange his left hand.

Izzy hesitated, already sensing that the patience of this powerful being was fading, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "I am willing to use my left hand to make a deal, Great Heart of the World!"

There was calm again.

"Ahh ”

"Now, put your left hand in the pool and you'll get what you want. ”

Izzy looked at the boiling lava pool in fear, and finally bit down on his fur sleeve and stretched out his palm, not surprisingly, the burning pain made Izzy almost sink headlong into it, but he still had to endure it.

Whew! Just when Izzy couldn't help but feel so painful that he was about to faint.

Suddenly, something seemed to float out of the pool, it seemed to be a piece of ore, and Izzy stretched out his left hand, which was about to turn to ashes, and touched the piece of ore, and the pain in his left hand disappeared instantly, and he grabbed the stone and withdrew his left hand.

His left hand changed from his arm to the same white stone skin as his right arm, even the color and texture were similar, Izzy was sweating profusely, and his fur sleeve had been bitten by himself.

"Little one, may my flesh and blood be able to help you accomplish your mission. Something suddenly began to hit Izzy's mind, as if knowledge was being poured into his mind, and he fell into a state of sorts.

In the empty cave, a voice suddenly sounded: "O current wielder of the hammer of destruction, this child will need to use the hammer in your hand to create in the future, but don't worry, he is not the person in the prophecy." ”

"And I see that you seem to have a great deal of anxiety in your heart, and you are confused by that prophecy? I can see your fate, don't worry, you are just a passerby in the fate of this weapon. ”

"O dear elemental spirit, what I desire is another answer, and if you will tell me, I am willing to give my life as the price of the answer,

"Very well, you can say it!"

"I wonder if my child will be the one in the prophecy. Terka suddenly knelt down towards the pool and asked.

"It's a question I don't know the answer to, you saved your life, the wielder of the Hammer of Doom. The surroundings gradually fell into peace.

When Tyrka Doomhammer heard this, his heart was very bitter, and he felt that the elemental spirit did not know, but did not want to answer, so what would be the fate of his son?

I don't know how long later, Izzy woke up, and there was some incredible knowledge of forging in his mind, that is, the knowledge of elemental forging, the magic of craftsmanship, the most precious knowledge he needed, had been memorized.

Izzy got up, he looked at the side of the somewhat lost Tylca Hammer of Doom, in fact, Izzy heard the conversation just now, Tyca was even more worried at this time, and Izzy said to him comfortingly:

"Uncle Terka, don't worry about Orgrim, I'm not going to let that happen to him. ”

Terka looked at the innocent smile in front of him, and hope was ignited in his heart.

The two got up and walked out of the cave, returning to the surface with Old Tab.

Back in the forge room, Old Tabor asked Izzy;

"So, did you get what you wanted?"

"Yes, master, that great being has given me everything I want, valuable knowledge and precious materials, and I can begin to forge my own weapons. ”

"And can that knowledge be passed on to each other?" asked Old Tabor with some excitement.

Izzy understood the old man's desire, but he also knew that even he could not do anything about it, so he had to say sadly:

"I'm sorry, Master Tabo, have you seen the change in my left hand, it's some kind of blessing, without this, you may not be able to use that knowledge, but if you want to learn, I'm still willing to pass it on to you. ”

"Is that so? It's a pity, forget it, since you can't use it, it's better not to learn, I don't want to anger those terrible existences, at least I can still watch you create your own weapons." ”

Izzy prepared according to the blueprint in his heart, the main material is the black stone ore, after melting those ores, the heart of the world is said to be the flesh and blood of the heart, also added to the melted black iron metal, and after turning it into metal ingots, he will use the hammer of destruction to forge weapons.

Izzy had already begun to forge, his left hand pinching the red-hot iron like a pair of pliers, and the hammer of destruction in his right hand was constantly striking, Izzy kept folding and forging the metal, and after folding it ten times, he began to forge the sword embryo of the greatsword.

Through his knowledge of the elements, he decided to create a special greatsword, a weapon capable of growing with the bearer, which would devour the blood of the enemy and continue to strengthen.

Tapping and tapping, Izzy wanted to remember the feeling he had felt when he had forged the hammer axe, and he kept thinking back to the memories of that day, the anger of those filthy fires that had eaten away at everything he held dear, the determination to make his enemies pay, and the things that had been in his mind, but Izzy had not been able to find the feeling he had felt in the first place.

He didn't even pay attention, he smashed his left hand, and the blood spilled on the soldering iron, but Izzy continued to hit with the pain, and old Tabor knew what Izzy wanted to do, and he suddenly walked up to Izzy and began to speak slowly;

"You want to protect what you hold dear, don't you? You don't want those tragic things to happen?" said Old Tabaud.

"But those tragic things don't care whether you want to or not, whether you want to or not, they just happen unreasonably, cruelly, painfully, silently. ”

"And everything you hold dear will leave you, so what should you do?" asked Old Tabor Izzy.

Izzy had fallen into the abyss of fear at this time, Yushuro, Mogolin, all the people he cared about, their faces appeared in front of him one by one, and finally that bright smile was like the rising sun, warming his heart.

That's Leah, the lively and beautiful Draenei girl, and she's going to face such a fate?, the thought that just rose in Izzy's mind, and all the faces, and the beautiful smile, slowly dissolved into nothingness.

"No, no! I will not allow it! Even if I want to go to hell, even if I want to go to the soup and break my bones, I will never let that happen. Izzy felt his heart pierced by thousands of red-hot steel needles, and he was torn and shattered, and he roared in his heart!

The hammer of destruction was heavily forged on the prototype of the sword embryo, he wanted to protect those beauty, he wanted to protect her, but he was too weak now, too weak!

So, he wants to be strong, he needs to be strong, he needs to be strong enough to be able to change his fate! He wants to be so strong that no one can beat him!

Izzy gritted his teeth, the hammer kept striking, the hammer of destruction struck out lightning and sparks that blended together, and the blood seeped into the red sword body, but it didn't seem to have any cooling effect at all, and it rained heavily in the sky outside, and the thunder resounded through the sky.

Izzy's big sword was finished, he came back to his senses, a heavy sword embryo on his left hand, revealing a high temperature red light, he put the sword into the quenching liquid, and lifted it out to reveal the full picture of the sword embryo, the huge sword body, thick and heavy, square shape, it looked unpretentious, and the sword body spread from the grip to the tip of the sword with crack-like lines, blood-red lines.

Izzy didn't have any real feeling in his left hand at this time, as if he didn't hold a sword, more like the sword was also a part of his body, which felt more like his body suddenly weighed hundreds of kilograms, which made it difficult for him to breathe.

Izzy raised his greatsword in both hands, and he heard a voice.

"I'm longing!"

Izzy's throat bulged and fell, and he swallowed a saliva that was a tension of being forced to crave something about himself if he didn't get used to it soon. Izzy suddenly asked in horror:

"What the hell did I do?"

Old Tabor came over with relief and asked Itch:

"This great sword is not fully finished yet, but do you have a name for this sword?"

Izzy thought for a moment, smiled and said, "I want to call it the "Enemy Devouring Sword", it will continue to devour the flesh and blood of the enemy, and continue to grow stronger.

He didn't tell Old Tabbo that there was another meaning in the name, which was mortal enemy, which meant that if he could not satisfy his desires, he would be the mortal enemy who would eventually kill him.
