Chapter 312 [Do You Want to Truly Live? ]

Chapter 312 [Do you want to really...live? 】

"roar!!!"

Upon hearing such sarcastic words, Explosion's eyes immediately lit up with scarlet fire, and he let out a shocking roar.

Hot power burst out from his heart and flowed throughout his body.

Immediately afterwards, the exploding glove suddenly burst into fierce flames, colliding with the exaggerated giant hammer.

boom--

Hot air waves rolled and dust flew.

The cave, which was already a little unstable due to the shocking explosion just now, was once again on the verge of collapse.

Ural is relatively close to the battlefield, so it can be seen more clearly...

The fire glove collided with the giant hammer without any fancy.

However, the fire on the glove did not spread to the handle of the hammer and cause damage to Xia En like before.

Instead, it seemed that it was being suppressed by some invisible force, causing the power of the flame to be greatly attenuated.

"What's going on?"

"Hammer...there's something wrong with that war hammer! Wait, is that..."

At this time, Ural's heart trembled and he thought of a possibility.

"That's...[War God's Hammer]!?"

[Barbarian Ax Tribe] and [War Hammer Tribe] were one family hundreds of years ago, so Ural had naturally heard of the legend of [War God's Hammer].

It is said that the ancestor of their two tribes was one of the dwarves who had the blood of the God of War flowing through them.

The [Hammer of the God of War] was the first weapon forged by our ancestors from the corpse of a powerful [Fire] after they came to the [Ghana World].

According to legend, [War God's Hammer] has a suppressive effect on most weapons forged by dwarves.

It's like bloodline suppression between living things.

In addition, [Hammer of the God of War] also has magical effects such as strengthening the user and stimulating blood vessels.

For both of their tribes, this weapon is comparable to an artifact and has a very special meaning.

However, in the past few decades, no one in the [Warhammer Tribe] has been able to reproduce the heroic appearance of [War God's Hammer].

So much so that Ural once thought it was a weapon that only existed in legends.

But now, this artifact really appeared in front of him!

"Who is that dwarf?"

"Could it be that he is the talented warrior of [Warhammer Tribe], Bronzebeard Warhammer?"

Not only Ural, but other survivors of the [Wild Ax Tribe] on the battlefield also recognized the [Hammer of the God of War] and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"[War God's Hammer]? Isn't that a weapon that can only be used by those with the blood of the God of War?"

"When did [Warhammer Tribe] produce such a character?"

However, these survivors did not wait to think more.

Earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out all around.

"Kill!!!"

In the blink of an eye, the dwarves of the [Warhammer Tribe] rushed out of the cave where they were hiding and faced the survivors injured by the explosion.

Apparently, this is the second link in the trap.

The explosion just now could not kill all the intruders, but it at least reduced their combat effectiveness to a higher level. Many people were seriously injured and unable to fight anymore.

At this time, people from the [Warhammer Tribe] attacked again, and the situation naturally quickly fell into a one-sided situation.

"Damn it, how could this happen?"

Ural looked ugly.

In his original expectation, this operation should have been extremely simple and smooth with the support of Explosion and [Yangyan Tribe].

But the [Warhammer Tribe] somehow knew of their arrival in advance, and prepared a huge "surprise" with great courage.

The most important thing is that [Warhammer Tribe] also has a strong man who can compete with Explosion!

The situation was already very bad, but Ural still did not run away, but stared intently at the center of the battlefield.

He is still waiting for the moment when Explosion defeats Xia En.

Until now, he still doesn't believe that Burst will lose!

However, Ural was destined not to wait for that moment.

In the field, Xia En and the explosive figures were so fast that they almost left their afterimages, constantly colliding and bombarding them back and forth.

Every collision stirred up layers of air waves, and even emitted waves of heat, scorching the dwarves around them to retreat.

A battle of this intensity is no longer something ordinary dwarves can get involved in.

Every collision was like a knock on Ural's heart, making his desire for power stronger.

He envied Explosion and the warrior of the [Warhammer Tribe].

If he could possess this kind of power, not to mention the [War Hammer Tribe], even the [Sun Flame Tribe] would be conquered by him!

Unfortunately, while Ural was still dreaming, the white-haired dwarf Hope jumped out from behind him and knocked him out with a hammer.

…

…

at the same time.

Xia En was also a little surprised.

Although he was belittling Burst, the strength displayed by this dwarf was actually beyond his expectation.

After stimulating some special power, Burst's combat power reached at least the level of a fourth-level Mystic Pathfinder, almost possessing one-tenth of the strength of Xia En's body.

Even though it was only one-tenth, the "Bronzebeard Warhammer" controlled by Xia En was definitely not his opponent based on physical fitness alone.

The reason why Xia En has been able to sustain for so long and still have the upper hand is mainly due to the special characteristics of [War God's Hammer] and [Secret Power of the Void].

[War God's Hammer] seems to be able to suppress the blood in the bursting body.

And [Void Secret Power] is a great weapon against secret power.

Xia En even suspected that Burst was the real awakener of the "Blood of the God of War", otherwise his sudden surge in combat power would not be explained.

The blood boiling like magma in the bursting body is also the characteristic of the activation of "Blood of the God of War".

However, despite this, Xia En is still sure of defeating him!

With every collision, a ray of [Secret Power of the Void] invades the bursting body and lurks temporarily.

Not even the boiling blood can remove it.

What's more, Xia En also has superimposed skills like [Secret Touch].

When the [Secret Power of the Void] accumulates enough in the explosive body, it can be detonated directly, which is equivalent to an "execution technique."

boom! boom! boom!

Under the rapid and fierce bombardment, Xia En and Burst's momentum became stronger and stronger.

Like two little suns, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.

However, Xia En's body is much weaker than Explosion after all.

Under such violent stimulation, the muscles and bones inside the body began to collapse a little.

This means that the repair speed of [Secret Power of the Void] is beginning to fail to keep up.

"Ouch——"

Burst's combat intuition was extremely sharp, and he let out a wolf-like roar again from his mouth, and swooped forward with his hands like claws.

Xia En was about to swing the hammer to meet the attack, but the muscles in his arm suddenly softened and his movements were somewhat deformed. As a result, the strength of the hammer was greatly reduced, and the direction of the hammer was even deflected!

Seeing this scene, Hope and the dwarves of the [Warhammer Tribe] felt their hearts sink to the bottom and turned pale.

Could it be that... Bronzebeard is going to be defeated?

So, who else can beat Burst?

Just when the patriarch Hope was a little desperate, something that was difficult for everyone to understand happened.

I saw that the explosion had clearly rushed in front of Xia En, and the sharp claws seemed likely to tear his throat open at any time.

But the next moment.

Burst's expression suddenly changed, as if he sensed some kind of fatal danger.

Therefore, instead of seizing the close victory, he retreated violently, retreating more than ten meters away like a ghost.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Hope was very confused: "Why did Burst suddenly run away?"

And what surprised him even more was yet to come.

Burst still didn't feel safe after retreating more than ten meters. Instead, he frantically moved and dodged in the cave, so fast that it left an afterimage.

From the perspective of Hope and other dwarves, there was nothing around him, and Bronzebeard did not launch any attack.

At this moment, the scene certainly looks very strange.

But Xia En felt a little bit of admiration in his heart.

He naturally knew what Burst was avoiding.

Half of the mistake just now was due to the physical loss of control, and the other half was due to Xia En taking the initiative to use himself as bait, hoping to make Explosion relax his vigilance.

As long as the explosion is as close as possible, the [Deep Touch] pouring out can kill him instantly.

Unfortunately, Burst's intuition was sharp enough that he was able to resist the urge to kill Xia En and retreat in time.

At this time, Xia En's [Secret Touch] was actually ready to come out.

Burst's seemingly meaningless dodge was just to avoid this sense of crisis that came from nowhere.

However, Explosion struggled to dodge for a moment, but the sense of crisis never disappeared, and instead became stronger.

Burst finally realized that this seemed to be some kind of combat technique that locked him, and he could no longer escape.

After understanding this, Burst stopped his movements, took off his gloves and threw them on the ground.

Then, he said directly: "No more fighting, I surrender."

"I...surrender to you."

His tone was still weird, but his meaning was clear.

"……ah?"

Hearing this, Xia En had a strange expression.

Judging from his previous performance, he had always thought that Burst was the type of berserker with a violent personality - the kind that wouldn't stop until the last drop of blood was shed.

How could such a person surrender?

Xia En originally thought that Burst wanted to pretend to surrender and launch a sneak attack, but after careful observation for a while, he found that Burst really didn't offer any resistance.

After thinking about it carefully, Xia En barely understood Burst's idea.

His mindset is closer to that of a beast than a human.

In other words, survival is placed above everything else.

He may not understand what tribal belonging, morality, and emotions are.

Now, Xia En has the ability to kill him directly, and there is no way to avoid the explosion, so naturally he can only choose this seemingly shameless method to survive.

After thinking for a moment, Xia En said: "It is not impossible to accept your surrender."

"But, in exchange, I want to completely control your life."

Burst hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay..."

"The most important thing is to survive..."

So, Xia En walked in front of Burst, put his hand on top of his head, and injected [Secret Power of the Void] into it.

This secret power developed many new uses in his hands.

——This method of controlling life is one of them.

The moment Xia En stretched out his hand, his explosive body obviously resisted, but he still resisted the urge to take action and slowly lowered his head.

This is also his way of showing surrender.

Seeing this, the surrounding [Warhammer Tribe] dwarves instantly became excited.

They didn't expect that Shane not only defeated Explosion, but also gained his surrender.

I don't know who shouted first.

"Bronzebeard!!!"

Then, everyone responded together.

"Bronzebeard! Bronzebeard! Bronzebeard!"

The dwarves shouted Shane's name loudly, their faces full of excitement, excitement and admiration.

After this battle, no one can match Shane's prestige in the [Warhammer Tribe], and he has become a hero in the hearts of the dwarves!

...

...

In a dim cave.

"Ah... my head hurts."

Ural woke up from a coma: "This is..."

He slowed down, rubbed his forehead, and observed the surroundings. He soon concluded that this seemed to be a cage-like cave.

Obviously, he had been captured and imprisoned by the [Warhammer Tribe].

Next, what awaited him was the end of becoming a slave or being killed.

Ural was in a very gloomy mood.

He never thought that this battle would end with such a result.

At this moment, he found a piece of paper made of some unknown leather lying in a corner not far ahead.

"... What is this?"

Ural approached the leather paper carefully.

Just as he was about to touch the paper, there seemed to be a whisper in his ear.

[Do you want power? ]

[Do you want to be truly... alive? ]

Ural's body trembled, but he still stretched out his hand without hesitation...

Not long after.

Feeling that another thread in his mind was connected in the [Rhine Secret Realm] and the [Furnace Secret Realm], Shane's mouth curled up a smile.

After questioning and observing the captives, he finally chose Ural as the second "believer."

However, unlike Kul's "single-handed fight", Shane hoped that Ural could publicize the existence of the [Lord of the Rhine] among the captives.

After this attack by the [Barbarian Axe Tribe], Shane certainly couldn't just let it go.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, is his style.

After conquering the [Wild Axe Tribe], there will definitely be a large number of captives.

Hatred, anger, despair and other emotions are undoubtedly the best breeding ground for "cultists".

In this way, more "threads" can be established between the two [Secret Realms].

The existence of [Lord of the Rhine] sounds too suspicious after all.

Even with Shane's current prestige, if he promotes his existence in the [Warhammer Tribe], Hope will probably see through the essence of the "evil god" at a glance.

So, Shane's decision is -

On the surface, he continues to conquer other tribes and build a larger dwarf kingdom.

And behind the scenes, he spreads [Lord of the Rhine] among captives and slaves.

When the time is right, send batches of dwarves to the [Rhine Secret Realm].

In this way, he not only has a kingdom in the [Furnace Secret Realm], but also allows the [Rhine Secret Realm] to enjoy the technology and equipment support of the dwarves.

However, Shane's plan has just started.

The road ahead is still long.
