Chapter 10: Trade-offs [I.]
I'm sorry first, there are more things in the past two days, and there is very little time for code words, today this can only be more than 3000, and tomorrow will be two more, more than 10,000 words!
In the fortress of Thuryin, the blood-red clouds in the sky suddenly appeared, and in an instant, a red pillar of light rose into the sky, and at the same time, the inhabitants of the fortress clearly felt a strong vibration coming from the surface. This sudden vision caused countless dwarves to rush in the direction of the pillar of light. And this strong vibration made Clement, who was in the council hall, and several old men look at each other, and hurriedly get up and push open the door of the council hall, when everyone saw the amazing red pillar of light and the blood-red scale clouds in the sky, a sense of ominousness enveloped Clement's heart.
Just as Clement and several old men were about to go to check what was going on, the guard outside the council hall suddenly said urgently: "Patriarch, here is a letter sent just now, saying that it is about the lives of two dwarven warriors!" After speaking, he respectfully took out a note from his arms, picked it up with both hands, and handed it to Clement.
Clement frowned, took the note, opened it, and saw that there were only a few numbers on the note: "Patriarch Clement, come to the Soul Slaying Arena quickly, Rachel and Arisandra are in a battle for life and death, Rachel is in trouble, Cohen!" Seeing this, Claremont looked thoughtfully at the direction of the pillar, and his heart suddenly chuckled, and he said hurriedly: "Oops, everyone go to the Soul Slaying Arena quickly!" After speaking, his body exploded, bringing up an afterimage, and shot away.
Inside the Soul Slaying Arena...
Under the terrifying destructive power of Arisandra, the entire surface of the arena was finally overwhelmed, with the technical point as the center, countless rocky boulders protruded like inverted bone spurs, the surface became fragmented, and the blazing magma mixed with blood-red thunder erupted from countless cracks. The originally picturesque competition venue now has a feeling of purgatory on earth.
In the center of the field, the pooled lava gradually formed a bottomless pool, and Arisandra stood on the edge of the pool with a giant axe in her hand, her eyes fixed on the pool of lava, and muttered, "You can push me to such a point just by not seeing me for a short time, Rachel, what happened to you?"
"Gollum... Gollum..."
Suddenly, a series of bubbles interrupted Arisandra's thoughts, and he hurriedly looked at the lava pool, only to see that a palm-sized vortex was gradually forming in the center of the tumbling lava.
"Damn!" Arisandra scolded fiercely, drawing her iron-blooded axe and quickly moving away from the lava pool. A feeling of powerlessness almost extinguished his fighting spirit that had been rekindled: the Lava War Emperor's Axe was already his strongest combat skill, and after using body sacrifice, Arisandra, who was originally at the peak of the Silver Battle Axe level, could leapfrog to become a Golden Battle Axe-level powerhouse in a short period of time, and the damage of the combat skill could be increased by at least three times, which was his biggest bargaining chip.
Originally, I thought that with the help of body sacrifice, I would use the lava War Emperor's axe to bombard Rachel's dream, but it was shattered in that cruel reality. It's just that a more terrible coercion than just now, in that slowly growing whirlpool, is madly approaching Arisandra. Sensing the pressure, Arisandra gradually stopped, knowing that no matter how much she ran, she would not be able to escape Rachel's earth-shattering blow.
The body rose and fell a few times, and Arisandra stood firmly on an upside-down boulder, everything that happened in the whirlpool of lava was clearly imprinted in his eyes, and this sight made his soul fly, and despair finally completely occupied his body.
In the whirlpool, Rachel bowed and stomped, holding a golden battle axe in each hand, countless golden runes roamed his limbs, and every time the runes on his body flickered, the killing intent on the golden battle axe became stronger and stronger. What's even more terrifying is that countless crystalline barriers that rotate around his body at high speed and cause the magma to form a vortex turn into wisps of light veins that are visible to the naked eye with the flickering of the runes, automatically forming ancient runes on the golden battle axe.
In Arisandra's eyes, those two golden battle axes were definitely powerful murder weapons that she couldn't resist.
When a trace of violent and manic killing intent instantly enveloped Arisandra's body, Rachel in the vortex finally locked on the enemy's position. After slowly squatting to the limit, Rachel let out a low cry and kicked her legs with all her might, and the whole person popped out of the bottom of the lava pool like a cannonball. Suddenly, the strong air flow raged wildly inside the whirlpool, and the lava vortex originally formed by the rotation of the crystallization barrier, after losing its support, rushed towards the bottom of the pool from all directions, and a huge lava pillar erupted strongly at the moment Rachel jumped out, engulfing Rachel together, and the momentum was very amazing.
Seeing Rachel being engulfed in the erupting lava, Arisandra looked cautious, holding the handle of the axe with her right hand and pressing it diagonally behind her, urging the strength of Gu's body to reach her right arm. A moment later, the runes on the iron-blooded axe were accompanied by countless red electric rays, bursting out with a dazzling light, and a bewitching red light appeared in everyone's eyes again.
"Bang!!" a dull sound came from the top of the lava pillar, and a figure with a golden glow burst out of the lava, holding two golden battle axes with both hands crossed, and bent his legs into the sky, and a moment later he fell rapidly towards Arisandra's location.
Elisandra looked up at the dazzling light that was rapidly falling overhead, calculating the timing of her strike. When the strong air pressure and the blazing heat formed by the fierce wind rubbed the wounds all over his body like a steel knife scraping bones, Arisandra was mixed with pain mixed with battle intent, and roared to the sky:
"Battle !!!!"
Then the right foot slammed on it, and the strong force made the suspended boulder under his feet instantly shatter and collapse, with the help of a strong rebound force, he shot towards Rachel;
In the face of Arisandra's most rearly counterattack, Rachel calmly put down the cross-raised tomahawk, and slashed horizontally with his left hand, and the golden tomahawk mixed with a piercing sound of breaking the air directly slashed at the blade of Arisandra's iron-blooded axe.
"Bell!!" a palpitating metal crash sounded in the air of the arena.
Everyone looked at each other, and the two figures were staggered, Arisandra's iron-blooded axe was gradually suppressing Rachel's golden battle axe, the latter's left arm was bending inward little by little, and Arisandro's axe blade was gradually approaching Rachel's heart as his arm bent.
At this moment, Arisandra seemed to hear the loud singing of the goddess of victory, and when he was about to stab the iron-blooded axe into Rachel's heart with one go, the trace of disdain in Rachel's eyes made Arisandra feel cold in her hands and feet for no reason.
In an instant, a powerful force suddenly came from his right arm, and the iron-blooded axe, which had been slowly pressed, could no longer be cut into a single bit. At this time, Rachel looked at Arisandra and said softly: "I won this game! Ashley, it can only belong to me!" After speaking, his left hand suddenly exerted force, and the iron-blooded axe was like a hard-boiled egg, which was easily split in half by the golden battle axe. Rachel was even more unforgiving, and the golden battle axe pulled along the way, and Elisandra smashed like a broken kite into the rubble on the ground without a sound.
"Eric's Judgment!"
Rachel didn't give Elisandra a chance to breathe, he raised two golden battle axes in both hands, and with a low roar from the dwarf, the golden battle axes that shimmered with dazzling light with an afterimage, like a meteor, blasted towards Arisandra in the rubble.
"Stop, Rachel!" Clement's majestic roar finally rang out at this moment.
But Rachel was red-eyed at this time, and the long-brewing powerful combat skill Eric's trial was like an arrow from the string, and there was no reason to turn back. Rachel turned his heart on the side, completely ignoring Clement's warning, and urged Gu to fight with all his might, vowing to kill Arisandra.
It's too late, it's too fast, a swarthy cavalry giant sword with an incomparably piercing sound cracking sound, accurately appeared in the axe momentum under the golden battle axe, and at the same time, with a burst of air refraction fluctuations, Clement's figure quietly appeared behind the giant sword, his right hand gently held the hilt of the sword, and met Rachel's full force to strike, casually blocking. I saw a flash of black light on the dark body of the giant sword, and the earth-destroying destructive power on Rachel's golden battle axe disappeared.
"This can't be!" Rachel looked at everything in front of him in disbelief, his body involuntarily took a few steps back, and with a bite of his steel teeth, a burst of golden light suddenly lit up, and the golden battle axe gathered energy again. An arrow rushed in front of Clement, and the stormy attack frantically hit the dark greatsword, but no matter how Rachel attacked, the dark greatsword did not even show a slight tremor except for the black flash.
Clement glanced at Rachel and said, "It's useless, this greatsword is carved from a whole piece of divine metal Enikmus Star, any elemental attack is in vain in front of it!
Rachel held the golden battle axe in both hands, glanced at the pile of rubble behind Clement, and then at the dark greatsword, and finally slowly lowered the raised battle axe. Just when Clement thought that Rachel had finally let go of the obsession in his heart...
"Kill !!!"
With an earth-shattering roar, the golden battle axe in Rachel's hand burst out with the brightest and most dazzling light, and slammed into the giant sword in Clement's hand.
Clement's brows furrowed tightly, then let go, sighed, and said softly: "If you are obsessed with this character, you have the same temper as your dead father!" After saying that, the giant sword was heavily blocked on the golden battle axe, and easily held the two battle axes, taking advantage of this opportunity, Clement stretched out his left hand and pressed it on Rachel's chest.
"Higher-order elemental deprivation!"
"Ah......h When the last trace of elemental power was stripped away, Rachel's eyes darkened, and he finally fainted.
Just as Clement was about to call someone to come and send Arisandra and Rachel to the Holy Healers Association for treatment, the points of light gathered behind Rachel fluctuated, and a moment later, the supreme majesty that had permeated the arena before reappeared, a face composed of countless points of light, silently floating above the arena, after a while, a golden ball of light slowly flew out of the face's mouth, lingered above Rachel's forehead for a while, and then happily disappeared into it, disappearing.
Seeing this, Clement could no longer control his emotions and exclaimed, "Blessed by the gods!"
Just as Clement was immersed in incomparable shock, a vague voice that couldn't tell the feeling suddenly appeared in his mind: "Take good care of him, the future of the dwarf race, the key to everything, is on him, the choice is up to him!"
The dark greatsword that Clement held in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, this sudden mysterious message, the future of the dwarves, Rachel, is actually the key?
Suddenly, there was a dazzling bright light, and the points of light in the sky gradually dissipated and merged into the air, and the huge face, the most reluctant, seemed to say a word, but it was a pity that Clement's mind was so absorbed by this information that he didn't pay attention to this short sentence.
After a long time, Clement let out a long sigh, changed his unfamiliar eyes, looked at Rachel who had fainted on the ground, and muttered, "What are you for, Rachel?"
