"Are you sure that after I pull out that sword, you can still deal with that Balrog? I don't want to release another Balrog on Mount Sikar for a relic. Only God knows that Meade is now at the foot of the mountain.
With so many problems facing Fort Sill, there is no need for a demon to make the story interesting."
"Don't worry, that sword will do more damage to the demon than I imagined. Although I haven't recognized the origin of the sword yet, I can be sure that the Balrog, who has been sealed for hundreds of years, is definitely in a weak state."
Although the doctor was forced to flee by the sword just now, he still looks confident now.
"There's still more than one minute, okay then. I'll draw my sword, and you'll be responsible for swallowing the Balrog, and then jump into the door immediately."
"no problem."
So, Shade approached cautiously. Because Shade himself did not have the power of a demon, so until Shade stretched out his hand in front of the sparkling bonfire, the long sword still had no reaction.
"Doctor, I'm going to take action!"
Shade shouted, then quickly stretched out his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword and exerted force, but the sword did not move at all:
"I can't seem to pull it out!"
"Put on the Demon Hunting Seal!"
The doctor reminded, judging from the sound, he was already slowly approaching.
So Shade put the signet ring on the finger of his right hand, spread his legs slightly and stood in front of the bonfire, holding the warm hilt of the sword with both hands at the same time. It seemed that because he was wearing the ring this time, some of the pictures were blurry.
Quickly flashed in front of Shade.
He saw the scene before the rope bridge in front of him before it broke, and saw the human ring warlock holding a long sword in the red mountain belly illuminated by the flames of the Balrog, facing the huge evil spirit demon.
Just seeing the body of the arsonist Sokophis in this blurry picture actually made Shade feel as if his skin was being burned. The ancient evil spirits were indeed not joking:
"Is this the memory left by the previous owner of this sword? He wanted to tell those who came after him what was sealed here. Unfortunately, I still have to draw the sword."
He thought in his mind, taking a deep breath at the same time, and then the center of gravity of the body was downward. He exerted force with both hands, and then the shoulders drove the arms, the arms drove the wrists, and the wrists drove the palms, adding more force little by little. It was very heavy. This sword was stronger than Shade's previous attempt.
Any object he had lifted was heavy. But as he held his breath and lifted the sword upwards, he clearly felt that the sword was really moving.
Another blurry picture flashed before my eyes, and that picture overlapped with the large hollow in the belly of the mountain in front of me, but it was very bright at that time, and the broken bridge was still in good condition.
A beautiful woman wearing a fiery red dress, Shade was almost certain that she was a witch, was standing on the edge of the bridge looking at this place:
"I am Violet Marshall, the thirteenth-level witch and the ruler of Weedon. This sword was found in the mountain and is a legacy of the brave men of the past. It is the key to solving the problem in the narrow space in the future. I will leave it here.
, latecomers can use it, but they must return it in time if there is a problem with the space."
The language of the Fifth Era reached his ears, and the picture disappeared. This seemed to be a message from the Witch Emperor of the Fifth Era, but this also meant that the sword in his hand had other uses, and Shade could not possess it for a long time.
.
"But, is the passage on the mountainside of Hazama right here?"
Before Shade could figure it out, as the sword blade was gradually lifted from the ashes of the campfire, more and more sparks appeared quickly in the campfire that originally had only scattered sparks, and connected with each other to form flames, licking Shade.
trousers.
The temperature here is getting higher and higher, but Shade is not sure whether this is an illusion caused by his anxiety.
All he knew was that his face was red at this moment, and he didn't dare to let out the breath he was holding in his mouth, otherwise the sword that seemed to be wrestling with him would definitely fall down immediately.
The bell rang suddenly in the hollow. It was the ritual arranged by Shade in advance that was ineffective against Dr. Schneider but effective against other demons. This also meant that the ritual that was sealed by a high-level warlock a hundred years ago with a relic-level sword had taken effect.
The Balrog is about to completely break free from the seal:
"Doctor, hurry, there are still forty seconds!"
While speaking, another series of pictures flashed in front of his eyes. This time, the pictures were even more chaotic. The scenes showed the former holders of this long sword killing their enemies. Even, Shade
I also saw the old man I met at the cocktail party. He actually once held this sword. But as an ordinary person, he probably didn't exert much of the sword's power.
"Detective, although I am not an ancient hero, today, let me demonstrate how to kill the Balrog in thirty seconds! Get out of the way!"
"good!"
The sword that Shade forcibly pulled out with brute force, the lowest point of the sword was only a fingernail away from the ashes that had begun to rekindle. And the bonfire that was about to fully ignite Shade's clothes also became
More and more fierce.
He held his breath and used his last strength to completely pull out the long sword in his hand. What was very strange was that when the blade was completely separated from the ashes of the campfire, the weight of the sword suddenly returned to the normal level, so that
Shade, who was unable to regain his strength in time, fell backwards.
But while falling backwards, Shade's figure disappeared in front of the bonfire, causing the obsidian-like giant hand that was burning with flames and rolling lava to reach out from the bonfire. It lost its target.
"Doctor, it's up to you, there are 36 seconds left."
Shade, who used [Ragrai's Jump] to retreat to the entrance of the passage, shouted that the blade of the sword in his hand was no longer shining, but the talisman on the sword meant [My heart is clear, my sword kills demons]
Wen, but still showing a bright yellow light in the dim firelight.
Before the doctor could give Shade any response, the thick arm that had just been trying to grab Shade was retracted into the rekindled ashes. In just a blink of an eye, the entire bonfire had turned into a ferocious stream of fire.
, suddenly flew up from the broken bridge on the edge of the stone platform, and finally landed on the platform in the center of the large cavity.
"Roar~"
The astonishing roar even made Shade feel like the ground was shaking. At the same time, ferocious flames spattered in all directions, turning the entire large hollow in the belly of the mountain into fiery red.
Amidst the roar, the flames that fell on the central platform gradually took shape, and a humanoid creature with two arms about 20 feet (6.1m) tall gradually emerged from the flames. Tinnitus immediately appeared in Shade's ears.
At the same time, the temperature of his whole body was rising, and the ancient evil spirit truly appeared in front of his eyes.
"Doctor, can you handle it in 29 seconds?"
"No problem. The original height of this thing was over 100 feet. It is now so weak that it can barely maintain its shape."
The demon whose shape was unclear in the flames shook his right arm in the astonishing roar, and the bright flame whip was waved in the air, leaving a stream of fire to illuminate the surroundings. With the sound of sonic boom, the fire whip hit the people who were already there.
Dr. Schneider arrived at the edge of the broken stone bridge, where the bonfire was just now.
Shade couldn't see the doctor's expression from behind. He could only see that the doctor seemed to have grown taller out of thin air. His right arm, which had become thicker at some point, stretched forward and actually grasped the tail of the flaming whip.
end.
Sparks flew everywhere, even hitting Shade in front of him. The firelight and heat wave made him almost unable to open his eyes, and the roaring sound on the stone platform in the distance was even more frightening.
The doctor who faced this ancient evil spirit just wrapped the flame whip around his arm and said in an extremely calm voice:
"Detective, in the winter of 1850, I swallowed an evil spirit known for its power - the brain-eating demon Byrne Gurrens."
With the human body wrestling with the devil, spider web-like cracks appeared on the surface of the stone platform under his feet, but the doctor remained motionless:
"And then there was the human pus that I devoured in the late summer of 1853."
The bright stream of fire followed the flame whip and rushed into the doctor's right hand. The doctor's whole body seemed to have swelled again, and at the same time, the long stream of flames wrapped around his body, making him look extremely magical at the moment.
"In addition, in the early spring of 1847, when I went to Kasenlik to hold an academic conference, I encountered the terrifying demon insect Julwinter in Nimness City."
The invisible air flow swept around with the doctor as the center, and the Balrog's angry roar actually contained a hint of fear.
A long sword shaped by flames appeared in its left hand. The length of the sword itself exceeded the height of the doctor at the moment. The sword was thrown away by the demon, and was thrown towards the doctor who absorbed its power.
Seeing this, Shade threw a bright arc of light towards the long sword. The flying speed of Silver Moon's slash was much faster than that of the flaming sword. The two collided in front of the doctor. As the silver moon's debris and flames
The light spots sputtered in all directions, and the two almost died together. But the debris of the silver moon scattered all around, and the light spots of the flames all rushed towards the doctor's body.
Being able to defeat this sword certainly does not mean that Shade is strong enough to fight the Balrog, but that the evil spirit demon, which was originally extremely weak due to the long-term seal, is about to be sucked dry by the doctor. Five
Doctors at the top of the ring can confront the Balrog head-on, not only because they restrain the opponent, but also because the opponent is really weak.
In just a few seconds, due to the doctor's absorption, the flames on the surface of the Balrog's body dimmed and were about to be extinguished. At the same time, its size continued to shrink, and its roaring voice could only reverberate unwillingly in the large hollow.
