Chapter 8: The Heartless
The magistrate said angrily: "You are called madness! Take him down!"
Uncle Blacksmith roared angrily, and he didn't know where the brute force came from, flicked the spear around him in one fell swoop, and said in a terrifying guttural voice that did not belong to normal elves: "No one can take away my happiness!"
The darkness condensed in the blacksmith uncle, and the blacksmith grabbed the sledgehammer, and the dark tentacles spread on the hammer, turning the ordinary hammer into a large mace with interlaced teeth!
The blacksmith swept with his hammer, not only to kill the soldiers who were rounding him up, but also to involve the onlookers. The elves www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion were swept away by this dark aura, and many people immediately fainted to the ground with black faces. Then the blacksmith stepped forward and raised his hammer high at an unknown child on the road.
"Aren't you not allowed to let me be nice to my child?
Yuri knew it was clearly madness, and he shouted and lunged at the blacksmith, but it was clearly too late.
However, just a second before the hammer hit the child's heavenly spirit cover, a figure slid quickly on the ground, she slapped her hands, holding a ball of starlight to cover the child, and then the hammer smashed down heavily, smashing the ground where the child was originally standing into a strange rock bulge, and the surrounding wooden houses also collapsed, emitting a large amount of smoke and dust.
When the smoke cleared, Yuri was surprised to find that the girl on the ground was Princess Flora, and the hammer had smashed between her legs, and the child who had not survived jumped out of another cloud of starlight, and began to cry.
The princess hid the child with space magic at the last moment, and then released him again, and touched his head with a pale face and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, big sister will protect you." ”
The child's mother took him away, and before she could even say thank you, she fled in panic, and the red fierce light in the blacksmith's eyes appeared, and he once again picked up the hammer and smashed it down at an unbelievable speed. Yuri rushed to the princess's side, leaning on the slash to set the hammer away, even though most of the strength was transmitted to the earth, Yuri still felt that every bone was in sharp pain, and even the tiger's mouth was oozing blood.
It is clear that this terrifying power does not belong to ordinary elves.
The princess and Yuri said in unison, "Get out of the way!" it's not something you can deal with. ”
Then the two of them looked at each other in amazement, and said again synchronously: "That guy has been infected by the darkness. ”
The next second, the two of them pointed at each other and said at the same time in even more surprise, "You actually know?"
However, the barbed hammer swept over, and the princess rolled on the ground and hugged Yuri, emitting a strong starlight around her body, and the two people disappeared out of thin air before the hammer swept away, and instantly appeared in the half-collapsed dilapidated house ten meters away.
The sheriff gave the order: "Garrison, take down the blacksmith!"
The garrison raised its spear and stabbed at the blacksmith, the blacksmith's wound oozed red and black blood, but as if he didn't feel the slightest pain, the nostrils erupted turbid steam, and then raised the hammer and slammed it on the anvil, the moment the hammer and the anvil touched, as if a huge explosive bomb was detonated at the scene, the burst ring of fire exploded on the spot, and the black smoke gushed out and swept everyone into it, and the people and horses on the scene were thrown into the air by the terrible shock wave.
Yuri lifted the plank that covered him, but fortunately the princess was fine. But everything as far as the eye can see seems to have become a purgatory on earth. The anvil sunk deep in the earth was burned red by the fire, and the molten iron flowed like a spider web on the cracks of the earth, like blood flowing from the wounds of the earth. The surrounding houses were reduced to rubble, and the well water that had been shaken up to the air was sprinkled like a drizzle, turning into a thick fog in the flames.
Yet there was still an intact corner in the ruins, where two men sat at the table with their hoods on their heads, the food still alive, and one of them put down his knife and fork and held the richly decorated sledgehammer that leaned against the table. The other man was still drinking red wine and eating bread by himself, as if the catastrophe in front of him was isolated from his world and had nothing to do with him.
"It's time for us to make a move. The boy with the hammer whispered.
"No, even if we help them, they won't thank us. Don't do thankless things. ”
"But ......"
"Your duty is to escort me, not to hoe the strong and help the weak, I told you not to meddle in your business, and you will obediently obey orders. ”
Her tone is delicate, her voice is soft and glutinous, and she is clearly a girl.
The hammer-wielding boy glanced at the blacksmith worriedly, and had no choice but to let go of the hammer and sit quietly at the table with his companion.
The scaly protrusions on the blacksmith's body lit up with a dark red glow as he breathed heavily. He slowly turned his head to the small blacksmith's shop, and found that the hut that had brought him so much happiness was now in ruins. He took heavy steps toward the hut in a daze, and the sloping wooden beams collapsed, and the rubble rolled down loosely, revealing the bleeding arms of the man crushed under the roof.
The blacksmith looked intently and saw on his arm the brass bracelet he had made for his wife with the surplus red copper he had had made yesterday.
So his pupils constricted into a thin golden line like the pupils of a lizard.
"Why...... It's going to take away my happiness. I just want to go back to my hometown, spend time with my family, and live my life in peace, why do you call this a sin, and why did things turn out like this......"
Two lines of blood and tears flowed from the blacksmith's eyes, and his body was blazing red, and he roared, "You must be responsible for all this!"
The magistrate, who was thrown to the roof in the explosion, struggled to his feet and said: "Don't you understand your grave sin until now! You pushed your brother down from the sky with your own hands for the sake of the pension, and now your home is also destroyed by your own hands." ”
The blacksmith turned his head and glared at him, and there was no remorse or guilt in his eyes, only a more primitive rage and fanaticism. For the first time since taking office, the magistrate has dealt with countless evils, but for the first time, he has confronted this pure evil.
The hammer in the blacksmith's hand flew like a meteor, and the magistrate couldn't help but close his eyes when he saw that he was going to die. The next time he opened his eyes, it was in a small inn ten meters away.
"He's not a reasonable man. The princess patted her sleeve and stood up.
The magistrate looked at the princess in horror and stammered, "You, ...... you"
"It doesn't matter who I am. The princess frowned and replied, "Tell your people to be careful, you are dealing with 'inhuman things', this kind of thing is different for each one, and you must know how to adapt to it when you fight him." ”
The captain of the garrison regrouped, facing the blacksmith who rushed to kill with a heavy hammer, the first column of shield troops buried the ironwood seed in front of them, and the seed instantly grew into a solid giant wooden fence under the urging of the elves' magic, and the staggered branches stuck the hammer in it, and then the third column of archers bent their bows and arrows, and the feathered arrows with the bonus of fire magic were densely fired at the blacksmith, causing continuous explosions around the stickers.
The magistrate wiped away the cold sweat: "It's done." The second column of round-up troops, catch this monster for me!"
The round-up troops wielded iron chains, quickly climbed the giant wooden fence, and threw the pendulum of the chains at the blacksmiths crawling in the smoke and dust from all directions, locking the blacksmiths firmly like a net from heaven to earth.
Just when the magistrate thought the blacksmith had been caught, the soldiers of the round-up unit let out a cry of pain in unison. They were horrified to find that the blacksmith's terrible heat was coming from the chains, and the red parts of the chains were spreading upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, and they had to throw them away, and as they fled back into the fence, they saw the blacksmith raise his hammer and smash it down on the red-hot chains, which were easily flattened like mud and then melted into red molten iron.
The blacksmith plunged his left hand into the molten iron, which flowed through his body along his meridians, eventually condensing into the jet-black shoulder armor and sharp claws of his left arm.
With a flash of cold light, the giant wooden fence was cut off by sharp claws, and the heavy pieces of wood were thrown into the air, and then smashed down like a torrential rain.
Yuri swings the slash, barely protecting the princess and Virgi from being smashed by the falling log.
"It's okay guys. ”
"Thankfully, I didn't get hurt. Virgy replied.
The sheriff's face turned pale: "What the hell is this?"
Yuri gasped hard and said, "It's the demon who traded his soul for power from Knox, the god of darkness. ”
"To be precise, this type of demon is called 'Heartbreaker'. When the false happiness he obtained in exchange for his soul was not disillusioned, he was still able to live a normal life as an ordinary person. And once the dream is shattered, the demonic power in his body will awaken, and combined with the life skills he usually uses, it will become many unimaginable special abilities. So the heartless are like a time bomb that is buried and how to defuse, and it is a very dangerous thing. ”
It was the girl who was still enjoying her lunch in the middle of the battlefield.
"And this guy used to be a blacksmith, and after turning into a monster, he still knows how to smelt and forge technology, so your metal weapons will not only not hurt him, but will also become a part of his body. The young lady who can teleport is right, fighting this kind of guy can't be done without knowing how to improvise. ”
Everyone turned to look at the duo and saw that they were still in the same position after the rainstorm of falling wood.
"It's not intact. ”
The girl, who had always spoken a little domineering, lifted the flask unhappily, stood up and shouted to the disheartened: "Ugly bastard, isn't it worth taking out this little thing that you killed your brother with your own hands and destroyed your own home, and made a big noise at a lady's dinner, so that the red wine in her glass spilled all over her skirt!"
A red light in the heartbreaker's eyes shot at the girl.
"If you don't apologize, you'll regret it. ”
Princess Flora was shocked: "Hey, it's not good to provoke at this time!"
The girl stood up, only to raise the corners of her mouth nonchalantly.
