Chapter Twenty-Five: The Lava Giant
Just as Ares and Arrin were arguing over whether to find the Molten Heart, the earth suddenly trembled slightly...... Immediately afterward, there was another jolt...... Each time the shaking was stronger than the last, as if it were an approaching seismic wave.
"What's that?"
The sudden sound made the atmosphere on the field more and more tense, and Ares couldn't help but clench the holy sword in his hand.
Without a mage, without the power of magic, in this dark underground world, there is no way to see things in the dark. Although there were oil lamps lit every few steps in the lecture hall, the light of the oil lamps was still too faint for the vast underground palace.
"I don't know, but I'm sure, it's a big guy. Our arrival has alarmed certain creatures...... I mean, we'd better get back as soon as we can, back to where we started, Reginald might have been found, our imprisoned brothers might have been found, we'd better get out now. ”
Arrin said, a pair of small eyes fixed on the movement in the darkness, the direction in which the voice came. Dwarves have good eyesight in the dark, but that doesn't mean they're a night-sighted species, and no matter how good their eyesight is, they can't see through the dark depths of this hall.
The Copperbeard Squad is preparing to retreat, however, a terrifying force has arrived.
There was a strange dark red light blooming in the darkness, like the strange red giant star in the dark sky of night.
As the footsteps approached, all the Copperbeard Dwarves could see clearly that it was an incomparably gigantic lava giant! Arrin had just asked Ares if he had seen the underground lava creatures, and at this moment, the monster appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It's still a long way off, but the heat emitted by this terrifying giant already makes people feel suffocated.
"Run!"
The captain of the dwarven commando shouted.
At the same time, more than a dozen muskets rang out in unison, and the light of the fire escaped into the darkness, and with the force of the gunpowder explosion, the bullets were ejected and struck the lava giant a hundred yards away. However, this is obviously just stalling for time, and everyone knows that bullets and arrows are a tickle for lava giants......
The dwarves shot as they ran towards the door at the exit of the lecture hall. It's just that it's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out...... The door of the lecture hall was about to rush to the Copperbeard Squad, one step ahead of its heavy stone door!
"Dark magic!"
Yarlin suddenly shouted. At the same time, behind the lava giant, a very small-looking figure appeared—a black iron dwarf.
The situation is very clear, the stone gate is under the control of the Black Iron Wizard. The dwarves of Ironforge do not study the use of magic, but this does not mean that the Black Iron Dwarves do not learn, in fact, before being expelled from Ironforge, the Black Iron Dwarves began to secretly study dark magic, a power that the Copperbeard Dwarves despise and spurn, but the Black Iron Dwarves indulge in it.
With a wicked grin, the black-bodied dwarves and the lava giants beside them approached the group of copperbeard dwarves.
When there is nowhere to retreat, everyone can only fight with their backs.
One by one, the methods flew through Yarlin's mind, but they were also eliminated one by one. There are many ways to deal with giants, but they all need tools, they need manpower, and at the moment, there are obviously not such complex tools, and there are not so many manpower, the most basic, not even a heavy artillery, as long as there is a cannon, the people of the Copperbeard tribe guarantee that they can use it to blast off the head of this lava giant. It's a pity that not now.
The massive body of the lava giant approached step by step. Burning flames and black rocks make up its body, and unlike the fire elemental, it has legs and feet, and it looks so strong and indestructible.
The Copperbeard team retreated, but soon their little short legs were no longer able to outrun the lava giant in front of them. You know, for every ten steps the dwarves take, the lava giants take half a step...... This gap is simply impossible to look at......
The fiery soles of the giant's feet quickly covered the brass-bearded dwarves on the ground. It's all crushing, unlike in the game, where the tank can resist with a shield, here, with one foot down, no matter what weapon you take, it will instantly turn into a mess of flesh.
Yarlin and a dozen dwarves dodged for the first time, but a scorched black crack appeared on the ground, accompanied by a loud sound, which made everyone's hearts tremble, and it was conceivable that if they were stepped on just now, they would be crushed to pieces.
The giant roared, using his hands and feet together, and Ares was amazed at its speed, and the entire hall was filled with the sound of the lava giant, as if it was the protagonist of the day. The flaming palms and fists struck again and again, the dwarves hid behind the stone pillars, but the thick hall stone pillars were smashed by the giant's punch and collapsed, and the rubble rolled down to the ground, and several Iron Fort warriors who had no time to escape were instantly crushed by the falling stones.
Yarlin wanted to turn around and come to the rescue, but he was powerless. The giant's palm came again, and each blow was so powerful, and the ground trembled again......
"Somehow must be found to defeat it!"
Bertolaf the Musketeer shouted, hiding behind the pillar and firing bullets at the Lava Giant, but the Giant wouldn't even look at him and continued to hunt down what it saw as its valuable foe, the Ember Bringer.
Yes, this weapon is so conspicuous that even in the darkest of underground palaces, the light of the Ember Bringer is still so domineering, the crystal on the blade of the sword emits a brilliant white light, and the closer evil approaches, its light will shine more and more dazzling.
Ares ran out of breath, and was finally caught up by the lava giants.
With a terrifying roar, the terrifying paws of the lava giants stepped on them again, and Ares barely rolled around to dodge the powerful blow, and when he stood up again, the soles of the giant's feet were right in front of him.
With sheer power of faith, the paladin stabbed with both swords, and the Ashbringer slashed into the lava giant's thick, sturdy paws.
Steel...... It was not just steel, but a weapon of Light, and Ares knew that the Ember Bringer was fearless in the face of any enemy, a sharp, indestructible artifact. However, he is mortal. Physical strength is limited, strength is limited. The greatsword that gathered the power of the holy light pierced the lava giant's feet, and flames erupted from the cracked rock.
Ares turned sideways, narrowly dodging the erupting flames.
The Ember Bringer was pulled out of the lava giant's body, however, the angry giant did not stop chasing the Lightbringer. Its flaming palm covered again.
This time, Ares could only dodge in a hurry, and the giant hand of the flame smashed on the ground, splashing sparks more than a person high, churning flames, and blazing heat, which made people suffocate.
