Volume 1: The Lost El Dorado Chapter 34: The Sojourned Dwarven King
As the royal family of the dwarves, the dwarven clan of the Stormhammer has always held the supreme artifact of the dwarves, the Stormhammer. And the Hammer of the Storm is not just a simple matter of giving a dwarven clan a name, but it also gives power to this clan. The Dwarven royal family, which has the blood of the Titan God, is very compatible with the Stormhammer and can fully use the power of the Stormhammer.
But the power of the artifact is great, and not everyone in the Storm Clan, even with the blood of the Titan God, will be able to master the Stormhammer. Only the brave and strong-willed can hold the Storm Hammer firmly in their hands and release the power contained in the Storm Hammer!
Therefore, every king of the dwarf race, every mountain dwarf who can master the Stormhammer is a plane powerhouse, and they are all existences comparable to demigods.
So when Xos unleashed the power of the Storm Hammer, and Beckwoli, the Earth Bear, rushed towards Carl with unstoppable force, Karl felt that the end had come to this world, and he had nowhere to hide.
"Bang. When the Storm Hammer slammed into Carl's shield, Carl spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then, like a kite with a broken string, slammed into dozens of dwarves before slamming them to the ground.
"Blasphemous sinners, your sins can only be washed away by blood. The Earth Bear stopped in front of Karl, staring at Karl lying on the ground with his beastly black eyes, and roaring in a low voice. Xos sits on the back of the Earth Bear, the Hammer of the Storm pointed at Karl and wants to put him on trial!
"My sins can be judged by mortals such as you?" Karl, who was lying motionless on the ground, suddenly laughed, his originally bright eyes turned golden. After wiping the golden blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, Karl slowly got up from the ground, floating in the air, with a pair of golden eyes, staring coldly at the king of the dwarf race. Visos, whose eyes were full of hatred, constricted his pupils when he saw the golden yellow in Karl's eyes, as if he was afraid.
"My Father has never warned me that this dagger should not be used often, because it is evil, because it is uncontrollable. I have never believed that, as the 'only' son of Aberham, there is anything in this world that I cannot control. As Carl spoke, the ordinary dagger he took out of the spatial ring emitted a faint blue light, like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, about to devour people.
Because of Karl's sudden change, and the movement of the dwarf king Xos stopped, the chaotic battlefield by the lake fell into an eerie calm. All the dwarven cavalry did not move, besieging Colin, Vilia, and Amerigo in the middle.
Although he was under siege, Colin did not feel the slightest nervousness, such a scene had been experienced too much in his long career as a mercenary, and he had long been numb. Instead, Colin is intrigued by Carl's changes and wants to ask Vilia for clarification. Amerigo on the side saw the changes in Carl's body, and he was also puzzled, and cast an inquiring glance at Veria.
Veria noticed the hungry eyes of the two people around her, so she explained Carl's situation, "I don't know very well, but I know that the changes in Carl's body are very similar to the scene of those god heirs when they awaken their divinity. On the banks of the lava river in the city of Kuskes, Karl faced the attack of Goliath, who had fallen into the abyss. At that time, Goliath found out that Karl was in this situation and left. So that quickly went away. Unexpectedly, now Carl has awakened the divinity in his body again. ”
"It should be that the attack of the dwarf king Xos just now has made the sleeping divinity in Carl's body have a sense of crisis, so he will awaken and save Carl. It's just that I don't know which god Carl is the heir to. Amerigo thought for a moment, "No matter what, the top priority now is to rescue Carl, although Carl has awakened the divinity once, but the sudden awakening of divinity is poison for mortals who are not gods, so Carl can't be allowed to take risks for this." ”
Just when the three of America wanted to move forward to save Carl and then break through, they found that they couldn't move at all. I wanted to shout loudly, but I found that I was unable to make any sound as if I had been cast a silent spell. At the same time, not only Amerigo's side, but also the dwarven side found the same problem. With the exception of the Dwarven King Xos, all the dwarves could not move or make any sounds. In this moment, time stood still and fell silent.
"Who is Your Excellency?" Xos also noticed the changes on the scene, especially the changes in Karl that frightened him, so Xos's tone was no longer as high as when he first met Carl.
"It's just that a poor creature with a little blood in Urareal dares to harm the great son of Aberham!" Behind Karl appeared an old man in a white robe with gold trim, this old man had a blurred face, gray hair, and an old body, very much like the image of the elder who appeared in Karl's dream.
At the moment when this phantom appeared, the Earth Bear under Xos's crotch could no longer withstand the pressure brought by Karl, and had already landed on all four paws, being pressed heavily on the ground, wailing in pain. And Xos may be because of the support of the power of the Storm Hammer, coupled with the thin blood of the Titan God in his body, so Xos was not crushed, but he was also very sad. The painful look on his face no longer shows how terrifying the coercion brought by Carl is.
"Abeham, who wields the power of the endless plane, your humble child beseeches thee to judge the blasphemous heresy before thy eyes. Karl held the dagger in his hand and pointed it at the clear and cloudless sky of the main plane.
However, it was a little embarrassing that after Karl raised his hands, Karl's prayers were not answered in the slightest in the midst of the fear on Xos's face. Not even a single white cloud appeared in the clear sky.
Carl, who had golden eyes, also seemed to be a little different, why his prayers were not answered, and he couldn't help but raise his head to find out why. And the moment Karl looked up, Xos, who had been suppressed on the back of Beckwoli, the bear of the earth, suddenly burst out, and the storm hammer in his hand lingered with the power of thunder, smashing it fiercely on Carl's skull.
"Foolish mortals, even if we do not have the favor of the Father, we are invincible. The dagger in his hand was randomly blocked, and the Stormhammer, which seemed to have absolute power, was catapulted far away. And Xos, who was holding it, was taken far away.
Somewhat embarrassed, Xthos got up from the ground, staring at Karl with his eyes, "I hope your power can last until you defeat me, stupid fool who steals the power of the gods!"
Xos left a trail of afterimages in place, and then suddenly appeared on Karl's waist, and the storm hammer in his hand slammed into Karl's waist again. When the Stormhammer shattered Karl's afterimage, Xos disappeared again, and Karl appeared in place, confronted by the vanished Xos, thoughtful.
"Bang. A wave of power spread in all directions, and Karl, who held the Storm Hammer in one hand, faced Xos with a blank face, "Mortal, you're not fast enough!"
"Hmph, there is power on the great mountains that you will never be able to discover. With the blessing of the Storm Hammer, the power of Xos climbed and climbed, and when the power of thunder and lightning began to linger all over his body, Karl's eyes that had not been focused finally glanced at Xos who seemed to have turned into a thunderman.
This time, instead of borrowing the speed of thunder and lightning to fight Karl, Xos chose to use the dwarves' favorite way of fighting, a face-to-face confrontation of power.
As if sensing Xos's intentions, Karl, who had no emotion, showed a smile on his face, and the ordinary dagger in his hand directly turned into a two-handed broadsword.
"Bang!"
A shockwave far greater than the aftermath of the previous power descended on this calm lake again, and the shockwave of great power directly blew up the motionless dwarven cavalry and scattered all over the lake. And what was not blown away were the strong men of the dwarven race, and there were very few left, but surprisingly, Trek also stayed in place without the slightest movement.
"Ding...... Clang...... Bite...... Bell ......"
The sound of gold and iron intertwined in the small lake of Yesli Mountain, constantly sounded and resounded in the sky.
And with the continuous battle between Carl and Xos, the aftermath of the energy of the four leaks is becoming more and more powerful. After another battle encounter, the aftermath of the energy finally changed quantitatively, and a huge energy tornado formed in the center of the lake, moving towards the place where Karl and Xos fought with the momentum of devouring everything. And in the sky, the clear sky that was originally without any white clouds is also full of dark clouds, thunder and lightning!
"Bang. Once again, the Stormhammer slammed into the unnamed dagger-turned-two-handed greatsword in Karl's hand. "Blasphemous sinner, your friend seems to be in danger. Xos said coldly. Expressionless, Karl ignored Kerthos' words, flicking the Stormhammer away and slashing at Kerthos' chest with his sword.
At the moment when Carl attacked Xos, the storm that had moved to land was already very close to Colin, who was closest to the lake, and if Carl wanted to continue attacking Xos, then the immobile Colin would be swallowed by the storm. And if you go to save Colin, you may be attacked by Xos. It's a dilemma.
"Sinners who steal the power of the gods, what about your choice. Xos had already found out about this and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Karl's eyes froze, and the blocked two-handed greatsword swung again, slashing at Xthos's body. Thinking that Karl had gone back to save his friend, Xos was in a hurry to deal with it, and was directly cut through the armor on Karl's chest, cutting through the flesh inside.
After Kthos took a few steps back to avoid Carl's further damage, he found that Carl had given up the chance to kill him and chose to save his friend instead.
Seeing such a scene, a sneer appeared on the corner of Xthos's mouth, and in the next second, Xos appeared behind Carl, and the storm hammer full of thunderous power smashed into Karl's back.
"Poof. A mouthful of golden blood spurted directly from Karl's mouth, and Karl, who had suffered the fatal blow of the Stormhammer without hindrance, staggered two steps, and finally moved Colin to a safe place before the storm came.
Just when Carl wanted to take Vilia and Amerigo to a safe place, he found that the two of them had already arrived in a safe place, and it was none other than the dwarf king Xos, who had just dealt a fatal blow to Carl.
Looking at Velia under the Stormhammer and Amerigo, Carl, who originally had no trace of affection, showed a trace of painful struggle on his face. "Sinners who steal the power of the gods, forsake your power, I can swear in the name of the dwarven supreme god, Muradin, the soul caster, that their lives are without worry. ”
Xthos's words were like a temptation, and the hesitation on Karl's face grew stronger, as if he could give up at any moment. "What can you hesitate about, sinner who has stolen the power of the gods?" The storm hammer in Xos's hand got closer and closer to Vilia's beautiful face, and no one would suspect that what Xos said was deceiving Karl, and if Karl wanted to fight Xos, then he would have to suffer the end of Vilia's death in front of him.
"The moment I smashed the Stormhammer, I felt like something was missing from the Stormhammer, and it turned out that what I didn't find was here. It's just that how did you split your soul in two, and then inhabit the body of the dwarven king?" just as the golden yellow in Karl's eyes began to dissipate, Kalenezzi's humble voice remembered by the lake.
At that moment, Karl's eyes were once again filled with golden yellow, and in the next second, Xthos's chest was hit violently, and when Xos was angry and wanted to kill Velia, he realized that Velia and Amerigo were no longer in front of him.
At the same time, Xos felt as if he was lying on his stomach with a man behind him, constantly exhaling hot air on his neck, making the dwarven king shudder.
After slowly placing Vilia and Amerigo on the ground, Carl smiled at Veria, then turned around to stand in front of him Callenezzi, who had just disappeared and returned to the Tavern of the Glowing Light.
"Halfway through, I remembered that I seemed to have forgotten to tell you something, and hurried over, only to find that you were fighting the dwarven king who had been inhabited by the body, so I didn't disturb your activities, but I didn't think that this filthy bastard would want to hurt my beautiful Vilia, and it really deserved to die. ”
Kalenezzi stood in front of Karl and kept talking, but he didn't turn around, as if he didn't want to see Karl, or he didn't want Karl to see the expression on his face at the moment, and he didn't want Karl to see that face of pity and hatred.
And Karl, whose eyes were still golden, didn't seem to care about Kalenezzi's actions, and the two-handed greatsword in his hand still exuded a dangerous light, ready to fight Xos again.
"Who are you, and why did you find me?" At this moment, Xos has completely lost the appearance of the dwarven king, or the 'Xos' who has been occupied and has become Tareh Bell's eyes, his eyes are full of Tare's hatred for Karl and Kalenezzi.
"As a merchant, as a businessman who fills his business on all planes, I am not only interested in ordinary goods, but also in souls. And the spirit in the famous artifact Storm Hammer is only an ordinary soul in the Storm Hammer, which is really puzzling. ”
"Since I told you, can you tell me how you split your soul in two and then inhabit the Dwarven King's body?" I was also very interested in the process of sojourn. ”
"Then it's up to you to beat me up. "Xos, or Tareh Bell, was like a street thug, and he was completely enraged, and he swung the Stormhammer and smashed it at Kalenezzi.
Looking at the disappeared Tale Bell, he couldn't help but shake his head, "The same trick again, don't want it, it's like there will always be only one rare treasure, and one more will make the value even less." Ignoring the Stormhammer flying over, Kalenezzi slashed at his right with the Divine Sword in hand, "Bang." The sound of gold and iron was heard, and Tale Bell, armed with the Hammer of the Storm, appeared to the right of Kalenezzi, and the Hammer of Storm, which was thrown by Tale Bell, smashed into Kalenezzi's body.
"Bang. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Kalenezzi's mouth, "It turned out to be an exquisite fake, but no matter how good a fake, how much can it be worth?" Karl's figure appeared behind Taray Bell, and the blade of his two-handed greatsword slapped directly at Kthoth's back.
Xos, who was hit by Karl, was slightly injured even though he was blessed by the blood of the Titans and even though he had the protection of the Stormhammer.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll destroy this sojourn and make all the dwarves hate you?" said Tarebel as he dodged from Karl and Kalenezzi's grasp.
"The hatred of the dwarves? After all, harmony can make money. Kalenezzi thought for a moment.
Just when Tarei Bel thought that Kalenezzi would not intervene, his eyes suddenly widened. Slowly lowering his head, he saw that a long sword had been plunged into Xos's abdomen. Karenezzi lowered his head to Kxos's face, "I'm sorry, I prefer to keep my old customers over those uncertain customers, after all, the older people are, the more they like to miss the old!"
Kalenez kicked Xos to the ground, and after pulling out the god-killing sword inserted in Xos's abdomen, Kalenezi walked over to Karl, who no longer had a bit of gold in his eyes.
