Chapter 457: The Melting Pot

On the other side, Ji Ran and the dwarven general named Thor were quickly chasing Ariel who had escaped.

The passage Ariel had created spread long, and she was traveling much faster inside than outside...... Even Ji Ran couldn't catch up with his light skills. Fortunately, there is a small piece of Ariel's soul hidden in his god-slaying flying knife, and he has not lost any trace of Ariel.

Strangely, judging from the direction of the dark red passage and Ariel's current position, she didn't rush out of Ironforge Castle!

Ironforge is now under full martial law, and all gates are sealed. The city has been strengthened in various ways by many dwarven alchemy masters at the beginning of its construction, although there are also many vents and the like, but once it enters the state of martial law, the entire Iron Fort will not even think of flying out lightly even if it is a fly!

But if a gold-level powerhouse wants to get out, there will always be a way. Although the dwarven guards have good combat power, it is not so easy to stop a gold-level powerhouse.

This Ariel has the ability to move so fast, she should be able to reach the gate very quickly, and then force her way out. Although Ironforge's powerful defenses may make her suffer a lot, if she can complete the mission of the so-called true god, it should be worth it. But this Ariel has no intention of heading towards the various exits of Ironforge Castle!

The direction in which she is going, instead...... More like the heart of Ironforge!

"The woman was heading towards the heart of Ironforge...... What exactly is she going to do? Ji Ran asked Thor, the dwarven general next to him, on the way to gallop.

In fact, Ji Ran didn't completely let go of the speed...... Because even then, he couldn't compare to Ariel, who could pass through the passage quickly. Rather than catching up with that gold-level powerhouse first, it is better to ...... with this Thor After all, the other party is a real golden order.

There are very few mages in the Golden Rank of the Dwarves...... Because the dwarves are too rough. It's a bit difficult to use elemental power in a subtle way. Comparatively. Among the dwarven professions. Most of them are martial artists. And most of their warriors are known for their strength.

Don't look at the dwarves who are not tall, but their strength is among the best among the intelligent races in the entire continent...... Of course, the dragons must be excluded.

Therefore, dwarves have always felt bulky...... In fact, the dwarves are strong, but they are short, and they are inevitably clumsy between jumps. And they often prefer to use heavy weapons. Running with a weapon is like a mountain moving - it's not bulky, what is bulky?

But Thor, a gold-level powerhouse, is not slow at all!

Although he was not as fast as Ji Ran, his speed was not much worse than that of other gold-level martial artists. It's just that, like other dwarven warriors, this guy ran up and shook the mountains, and the sound of rumbling was endless......

"How do I know! That damn guy definitely has a problem, and snatching the Cup of Glory is just the first step in their plan! Damn the Order of the True God, I will never let them go...... Be sure to smash them all into meatloaf! Thor let out a sullen roar. With the force under his feet, he ran wildly again.

The passage that was made by Ariel was made of zuò. It is impossible to cross too long a distance, and it is impossible to store zài for too long. Soon, Ji Ran found that Ariel's position was stopped. And where she is, right in the heart of Ironforge!

Ironforge has an irregular circle in its entirety, with the massive magma furnace at its center. Above the lava furnace, however, there is a huge platform that is usually used by the dwarven blacksmiths to forge - of course, alchemists can also refine many materials here, which can be regarded as the core facility of the Ironforge Keep.

That Ariel, why did she stay there? But at this moment, there is no time for Ji Ran to think about it. What he wanted to do now was to hurry over there, and then snatch back the cup of glory from Ariel's hand, and by the way, teach this gold-level powerhouse of the True God Order a profound lesson!

Killing Ariel, Ji Ran didn't think about it. It's not that he doesn't have this idea, it's that he knows what he's capable of......

The two gold-rank powerhouses that I had killed before all had various conditions. One of them was because he had spent a lot of extremely rare materials to make a trap and seal the power of that guy's golden rank, while the second one was because of the huge energy that burst out when Les was promoted, so he killed him in one fell swoop. And this time, it's completely face-to-face, with no other auxiliary battles!

Although there is a dwarven general on his side, and his strength is not weak, it is difficult to keep this Ariel...... There are too many ways for the other party to escape, it is possible to defeat her, and it is too difficult to kill her.

As long as I can snatch the Cup of Glory back...... But why did that guy stay in the melting pot? grabbed something but didn't run away - Ji Ran had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Soon, Ji Ran and General Thor came to the melting pot together. Although the entire Iron Fort is under martial law, and the melting pot is no longer in its former glory, and the sound of tinkling iron is gone, the huge furnace is still spewing fiery red lava outward.

Ariel was standing on a platform in the middle of the melting pot, surrounded by the light of magma, but she looked even more gloomy and eerie.

"You're still catching up, but you can't change anything!" Ariel looked at Ji Ran and Thor with a crazy smile on her face. In her hand, she held a long sword in one hand, and the cup of glory in the other.

The Glenor itself glows, but against the backdrop of the lava around it, it is inconspicuous. From Ji Ran's point of view now, it is a silver-white metal wine glass, without the slightest speciality.

Why is such a thing worth the effort of the True God Order? Even if they succeed, the price they paid this time will definitely not be small...... Don't think that Ironforge Fort is an undefended city, once something happens, the people inside are really hard to fly!

Even if those people can dare to go to the gate and force their way through, they only need to be delayed for a while. Iron Forge's own Gold-Rank powerhouse will appear. Plus the defenses of Ironforge itself. The chances of escaping are slim to none!

The powerhouses of the gold rank are likely to be lost in it. Not to mention the silver tier that hasn't reached the gold tier. At such a big price, for such a wine glass, what are they trying to do?

"Give us back that wine glass, and if you tie it up again, we can see that you let go of the crown princess and give you a fair trial!" Ji Ran shouted solemnly over there. In fact, he had no idea what a fair trial would look like, but it would have been nice if it had made the woman give up her resistance, though he did. The success rate is basically zero.

Sure enough, Ariel laughed maniacally. Her face, which was still quite beautiful, was also distorted by the fanaticism of the moment.

"Are you kidding? Let me be tied? What do you think you can really do to me? And......" Ariel held up the cup of glory in her hand, "I will never give this thing to you." This thing is of great use to my true God...... At least for now, it's irreplaceable. For the sake of my true God, I will also work hard to protect this cup of glory! ”

Before Ji Ran could speak, Thor next to him couldn't help it.

"Then there's not much to say...... Damn true gods. Give me death! Thor dragged the giant axe in his hand sideways and lunged at Ariel!

Ariel snorted coldly. I don't know where I hid the cup of glory. Then, holding the sword in one hand, he aimed it at the dwarven general Thor.

"The true God loves blood...... Although you, a gold-level powerhouse, are a dwarf, your blood must be red, right? ”

Then, Ariel's figure suddenly became blurred, and instantly divided into several phantoms, each of which held a long sword in his hand and pounced directly at Thor!

Ji Ran looked at this trick with some familiarity...... This is actually somewhat similar to the sword skills he has mastered. Of course, it just looks similar, and the principle is necessarily completely different.

This world also has martial arts that rely on speed to pull out phantoms to confuse enemies or attack, and Flowing Wind is not unique. It's just that the speed of the flowing wind is super fast, and it can attack multiple targets at the same time, which makes it impossible to guard against Ji Ran.

And Ariel's move can actually make all phantoms have the ability to attack! Thor rushed forward, and the axe slammed down, but several phantoms spread out in all directions at the same time, dodging Thor's attack at once. In the next moment, all the phantoms raised their swords at the same time and attacked Thor from all directions!

This kind of attack is difficult for anyone to dodge, but Thor is worthy of being a gold-level powerhouse of Ironforge Castle, and with a wild roar, the fighting qi on his body suddenly burst out in all directions, blowing several phantoms away!

But even then, he couldn't tell which apparition was real. The phantom that Ariel separated from seems to be not only an afterimage dragged out by relying on speed, but also mixed with the power of divine magic, so that several phantoms have real bodies. Of course, the power of the clone is naturally not as good as the real body, but it can still pose a threat to the gold-level powerhouse.

After several apparitions were blown away, they fell far to the ground, all with one hand on the ground, looking up at Thor. Then, they immediately jumped up again, brandished the long sword in their hands, released a dark red fighting aura, and slashed directly at Thor in the middle!

Thor suddenly burst into vindictiveness, and did not cause damage to those phantoms, and he was also very unhappy in his heart. Seeing that those phantoms dared to come back, his temper suddenly exploded, and the big axe in his hand suddenly turned into a big circle, and the fighting spirit remained in the air, forming a huge circle!

"Damn woman, give me death!"

The Dou Qi Ring burst open all of a sudden, turning into countless small axes and shooting out in all directions!

The little axes spun like sharp rings one after another, making it impossible for those apparitions to avoid. All the phantoms could only wield their swords and try desperately to block - fortunately, the power of the ring decreased after it split into countless parts. Otherwise, with the strength of those phantoms, they might not be able to stop the tricks unleashed by this dwarf general.

Although Thor's attack was stopped, the phantoms were forced to retreat and go far away. After several failed attacks, even Ariel looked at the armored dwarf in front of her with a solemn expression.

"The dwarf is indeed a stone head, stubborn and hard...... No wonder the true God does not look down on you. But it doesn't matter, as the Lamb of God, we have an obligation to rid our true God of you pesky creatures! ”

Ariel's words immediately angered Thor.

"In my opinion, dwarves are the most perfect creatures in the world! On the contrary, you so-called true God believers have lost the qualification to be human beings in this world! Dare to come to Ironforge and cause such a tragedy, you demons, don't even think about leaving here! ”

The battle between the two of them begins again.

Thor couldn't tell Ariel's true body because Ariel used the help of magic to make her clone almost indistinguishable from her real body. But just because he can't see it doesn't mean that others can't see it.

At least Ji Ran can see it...... Because he has identification.

The identification technique was slapped one by one, and the names of Ariel and Ariel's doppelganger were impressive......

So, he plans to step forward and help Thor.

Lifting Chu Xiaojian, Ji Ran took a deep breath.

The end of the world is just around the corner! In a flash, Ji Ran rushed forward for a long distance. And then, instead of using the flowing wind that he often used in his usual battles, he used another sword technique, Spring Rain!

Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.

The function of Chunyu's sword technique is not in lethality, nor in the range of damage...... The biggest feature is hidden!

In an instant, Ji Ran became silent like the spring rain that went into the night with the wind, and even disappeared in the eyes of others.

That's right, it's a stealth trick. It's just that this stealth lasts for a short time, and it can't be compared to the stealth of a thief or something.

However, in this state of stealth, his speed did not slow down in the slightest. And, after leaving the stealth, the first blow he unleashed was incredibly swift!

Ariel didn't even pay much attention to Ji Ran. It's just a silver high-level, not even a silver pinnacle. This kind of swordsman is basically no threat to himself...... If he didn't know those weird swordsmanship.

Before, this guy actually entangled himself in a short period of time, allowing the dwarf to chase after him. In the end, he injured himself with a flying knife, which made him extremely painful...... This guy must die too!

But he didn't pose much of a threat, even if it was the throwing knife, as long as he paid attention to it, it wouldn't be so easy to hit. Now that he is in the state of a doppelganger, there is no possibility for him to find his true body......

The combination of various elements made him not pay too much attention to Ji Ran. And when Ji Ran disappeared in place, although she noticed something, it was too late.

A feeling of danger suddenly came from behind her, and her heart pounded. Unable to dodge the swirling fighting spirit in front of her anymore, she rushed forward all of a sudden, directly loaded with Thor's fighting energy!

Even so, she felt a pain in her heart. That guy still hurt himself!

Ji Ran appeared behind Ariel, holding the Chuxiao Sword in his hand. The first time the spring rain was cast, it worked! (To be continued......)
