Chapter 1877: The Forging Hammer That Shapes the World
In order to ensure that Sarren could maximize his chances of victory in the battle with Kil'Gardan, he had two of the five Pillars of Creation artifacts in this battle, namely the shield of Agrama that specialized in defense, and the hammer of Kazgros, which he had recently borrowed from the Supreme Ridge.
Of the remaining three artifacts, Elune's Tears are still in the custody of the Night Republic, and this thing doesn't really have much effect, it's nothing more than a portable, high-power energy supply.
As always, the Tide Stone of Gogoneth is in the possession of Azhara herself, which is one of the reasons why Sarren has entrusted her with the task of taking charge of the central government.
If the main force is still intercepted by the Burning Legion on Broken Beach, trying to break through the encirclement net laid by the coalition forces from underwater, regardless of sacrifice and fish and nets, Azhara can also drive the Tidestone to send them a big "surprise" at the critical moment.
The last of the Eye of Almansur is in the hands of Elisander, and it is also in a state of efficient operation.
For this battle, which had been prepared for a long time, Salian mobilized almost all the resources available at the moment.
After using the shield of Agrama, the black dragon scale armor, the steel skin of Gohorn, and his powerful self-healing ability to eat Kil'Gardan's surprise trick and fool his face, Sarian took out the hammer of Kazgros and smashed it on the ground with his backhand.
The hammer of Kazgros is said to have been used by the shaper of the Pantheon, the tool used by Kazgros to transform the landscape of Azeroth, and it was not originally an artifact that emphasized destructive power.
To put it in layman's terms, the original function of this thing was a large forging hammer, which in the hands of Kazgros assisted him in refining the shape of the world.
Perhaps even Kazgros himself could not have imagined that the forging hammer of Azadas, the creation he had left for himself, would become an infinitely powerful weapon of destruction in the hands of mortals.
Sarjan had studied the power of the Hammer of Kazgros in detail, and had consulted Azadas on how to use the artifact.
The hammer of Kazgros contains extremely powerful shaping powers, but even if it is an inorganic object, this Titan Forged Hammer can easily change its appearance, and even the inner nature of its construction.
Yes, limited to inorganic matter.
After all, Kazgros does not have the power of life, and the tools he uses will naturally not have a special attack effect on life.
Therefore, instead of directly attacking Kilgardan with the hammer of Kazgros, Salian struck this holy hammer on the ground, instantly changing the landscape within a certain area.
The sudden bulge of a large number of rock spear pillars made Kil'Gardan, who was in the period of ultimate regeneration, a little embarrassed to resist.
In order to surprise a trick of the level of the Darkness of a Thousand Souls, the spell backlash that Kil'Gardan endured was really not light.
Kil'Gardan and Akmund, though they may seem massive and powerful, are still essentially classified as spellcasters.
In Sarean's words, unlike Akmund, Kiljadan has muscles, but he doesn't know how to use them perfectly.
This is the habitual thinking of the caster, even if they are not physically poor, they will always habitually try to distance themselves from the enemy and solve the problem with spells.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if Sarren was on Kil'Gardan's side, he could mobilize his powerful physical fitness and temporarily suppress the impact of the spell recoil.
Unfortunately, the Fraudster can't do that, and his habitual spell-based fighting style means he's not the kind of person who is good at using his physical advantage.
While it is true that the power of the Hammer of Kazgros cannot directly damage the enemy's body, the shaping power contained in this artifact hammer can help the user transform the battlefield environment to their advantage in a very short period of time.
Under the personal guidance of Azadas, Sarian combined the experience provided by the Kaolin Minotaur to develop an additional use of the Takamine Minotaur to indirectly damage enemies by drastically altering the environment.
The place where Saljan and Kil'Gardan fought was in the square in front of the Night Keep, but this seemingly lifelike square was actually in a different dimension, a special battlefield created by Elisander using the time power of the Eye of Ammansur in advance, a special time slice, or world bubble.
As a result, Sarean can renovate the environment of this dedicated battlefield without any scruples without worrying about any actual impact on Sulama City.
The endless stream of huge rock spears and elusive dungeons forced the out-of-form Kil'Gardan to stumble, often just dodging the direct attack of the rock spears, and then turning his head and being restrained by the sudden rise of the dungeon.
From Kil'Gardan's point of view, it was as if the whole world had become full of malice towards him in an instant, and he couldn't find a way to break the game for a while.
It's not that Kil'Gardan is completely helpless against the current situation, under normal circumstances, he can use the huge evil energy that erupts in an instant to forcibly break through this fictional small world bubble, but ...... Who made him a little short of strength now?
failed to inflict a heavy blow on Sarean, and the suffering naturally became Kil'Gardan himself, who had no choice but to recover.
But Sarean also knows that this situation is only temporary.
Although he is not as good as the polluters who have been fighting in the north and south all year round in terms of combat experience, Kilgardan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his grievances at the moment are just preparing for a strong counterattack in the future.
Therefore, instead of trying to kill the fraudster in a short period of time, Salian did not go out of his way to try to kill the fraudster, but patiently used the rock spear to find the enemy's weak spots.
As previously stated, the battle-hardened Sarjan soon spotted Kil'Gardan's weakness in close combat.
In the face of those crushing games he had encountered before, Kil'Gardan was able to hide his weaknesses well with his stronger absolute strength, but when fighting an enemy of his level like Sarjan, this shortcoming, which was never able to be filled, was particularly eye-catching.
No blowing, no black, just from this point of view, the brave and good Akmund does a better job than Kilgardan.
However, Akmund also had his own fault, that is, he was too superstitious about his own power, which led to his reckless style, and he eventually died in a trap specially arranged for him by the Azeroth coalition due to his character flaws.
No one is perfect, and Sarean never believed that a person could really overcome all his shortcomings, and even he didn't dare to pat his chest and say that he did it.
Even though he had tried to suppress his desire to fight, once it was time to fight, he still unconsciously gave up his usual rational thinking, and his attack routines became simpler and more direct, relying on instinct more than thinking.
In order to curb this flaw, Sarian came up with an off-the-board move.
At this moment, Stella Gosa is sitting in the Night Fortress and maintains a high level of soul connection with Sarjan.
Once Little Star notices that Sarren is emotional, she will immediately give a calm hint to artificially cool Sarren's brain.
Of course, there is a limit to this off-site support.
"Tsk!"
Seeing that the few flaws he deliberately sold failed to hook Sarjan's reckless attack, Kilgardan smacked his lips with some regret: "Little ghost, he is so young but acts so sophisticated, what a difficult enemy to deal with." ”
"That's fine."
Kilgardan, who was gradually recovering his form, did not want to play again, he changed his previous embarrassed posture of dodging left and right, and once again regained his calmness and strength at the beginning of the war.
"Since stratagem can't solve you, then...... Let's see the real thing! ”
"Heh~"
Under the deliberate guidance of the fraudsters, the time fragment constructed by Elisander was ravaged by the hammer of Kazgros, and it was almost impossible to support it.
In view of this, Sarian no longer added fuel to the fire, and took advantage of the situation to withdraw the Holy Hammer, which had consumed a lot of energy, and took out his usual weapon again.
Holding a gun (staff) in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, Sarjan took a deep breath and still showed a slightly hideous smile to Kilgardan: "I agree, let's start the second round that will decide the outcome of the game!" (End of chapter)
