"Speaking of which, the ancient hero passed down to me at that time seems to have mentioned that he fought fiercely with the Balrog, and his sword was cut off by the Balrog, but not by the Balrog, but by the Goat Demon. "
It happened in the abandoned cemetery in the village next door to the Augustus family cemetery outside Nolan, which Jenkins remembers well (chapter 1433).
"Could it be that people who inherit [Heroes] must encounter Balrogs and have their weapons cut off? Is this a strange curse on this ability?"
Jenkin Rat hid behind the broken sword and thought about it, he didn't cling to the sword, because the broken sword was quite hot now.
"The hero said at the time that the witches he was familiar with helped him recast the broken sword and made the sword more powerful. I don't know if my sword can also be recast... Although I don't know witches, I don't know witches in this era. There are no witches, but I know quite a few wonderful ladies."
Although turning into a mouse to escape for his life is a very shameful act, but now that Chocolate and the ladies at home are away, and the Balrog has self-destructed, Jenkins is not worried about the impact of this behavior on his reputation.
He turned into a mouse but still had a human vision. He could clearly see, hear and feel the consequences of the ancient Balrog's self-destruction. It is no exaggeration to say that if the Balrog blew himself up in the urban area of Nolan, then the entire city and most of the surrounding areas would have completely become history.
Sure enough, it is better for such demons to stay outside the material world forever. Fortunately, the material world of the 18th century no longer allowed such powerful creatures to enter and exit at will.
After the aftermath of the explosion subsided and the aura of the Balrog completely disappeared, Jenkin Rat dared to peek out from behind the broken sword to check the situation.
The weird stone bridge still didn't collapse, and the Balrog's self-destruction didn't even shorten the bridge. The originally messy corpses and weapon wreckage on the bridge were swept away, and the fallen rocks, dry grass and dust that fell from the air were also burned in the flames of the Balrog, making the bridge extremely clean.
But besides the Jenkins mouse, the broken sword inserted obliquely, and the fiery red door frame that is forming, there is another item on the bridge, that is, the B-01-1-0006 that cut off Jenkins' holy bone sword [The Great Sword of Eternal Fire of Sin Karma]. Another weapon of the Balrog, the chains of daemonalloy, has been melted down, but the sword does still exist.
Even better news is that although Jenkins can't take anything from the past time and space, this sword is definitely not the original equipment of Balrog. The old man from the craftsman union said clearly that it was the tree house who found the sword from the crater outside the sea and used it as a means to deal with Jenkins.
Therefore, this sword was given to this ancient Balrog by the difference machine in some way.
Without the master's grip, the metal spiral sword was inserted straight into the stone bridge that even the Balrog's self-destruct did not destroy. The flames on the surface of the spiral sword have receded, but the metal of the sword body is still fiery red, and you can see a little spark, and you can feel the heat contained in it when you get close.
The Holy Sword of Bone was broken, but it was still judged as a gift for some reason, so both parts of the sword were put away by Jenkins. He carefully approached the large spiral sword. The large sword was as tall as a giant tree. At first glance, it was impossible for a creature of Jenkins' size to use it.
"But the old man from the craftsman's association said that when the sword was found, it was held by a dead bone. Since there is no mention of the special nature of the dry bone, it must be a human bone. Then why was it still suitable for a human body?"
He had an idea, and put his hand on the sword like a soldering iron. The fiery red color was a real sign of heat, but at least it didn't burn Jenkins' skin. After the finger touched the spiral sword, the size of the sword immediately shrank until it turned into a long sword that was still a bit too long in Jenkins' eyes.
He grabbed the hilt with his hand and pulled out the fiery red spiral sword again. With the flow of the spirit, the fiery red color rushed from the hilt to the sword body, causing the spiral sword to be ignited again. Then, more powerful heat rushed from the palm of the hand to the whole body in reverse, as if to burn Jenkins, but this heat was nothing to him.
He held the hilt, which meant that the sword had a new owner. The flames of the sword body burned again, and even because of the rapid increase in air temperature, an optical effect that distorted the field of vision was produced around the sword body. Jenkins even heard the sound of a heat wave, but he wasn't sure if it was a hallucination.
B-01-1-0006[Eternal Flame Sword of Guilt Karma]Although it is a B-type extraordinary, this sword also carries a curse. It is not difficult to see this from the name of the sword. After all, any item in this world that is related to [sin] is not a simple item.
Jenkins couldn't understand the specific meaning of the curse, because his body was like the previous user, the ancient Balrog, who was easily immune to the curse of holding the sword.
He tried to swing the large spiral sword in his hand, and the somewhat too long sword immediately drew a flame in the air. Although the sword destroyed his own weapon, Jenkins would not put the responsibility on the weapon, so he took the sword as his own without any grievances.
Even if the Bone Sacred Sword is broken, he still has the Star Demon Sword and the Great Sword of Sin. He is not proficient with both weapons, but it is better than bare hands.
Holding the sword, he stepped over the door frame and returned to the furnace again. Because he stayed behind the door for too long after defeating the enemy this time, almost all the flames from the Balrog's death poured into the furnace behind the gate. The Balrog is much stronger than the Wounded Black Dragon, and the two don't seem like equally difficult enemies at all.
Therefore, more light and heat have burst out from the gap in the huge gate of the furnace. According to this trend, it is almost the same as Jenkins predicted. He only needs to defeat one more opponent with the highest difficulty, and it is enough to leave the paradox. .
"very nice."
The half-stone and half-metal man in a black hunting suit still kept leaning against the gate with his arms folded in front of his chest. The gate was huge, five times taller than a man, so if he hadn't seen the whole furnace in advance when the fire was at its strongest, he would have thought he was leaning on the wall at this moment.
"The opponent you chose, although not as good as those three, is already considered the most powerful. The fire is getting brighter, do you need the service of the fire?"
He looked at the great spiral sword in Jenkins' hand, and the sword itself was also emitting flames:
"Using this weapon as the embryo, and the sword you put next to your backpack as the material, you can re-temper your half-bone, half-wood sword."
"Do you know my fighting situation inside?"
Jenkins asked back, the other party obviously wanted him to use the two swords in his hand to repair the Holy Sword of Bone.
"Of course not."
The man said, and was immediately judged a lie by Jenkins.
It is impossible for him to repair the Holy Bone Sword here. Since the difference machine sent the sinful sword that cut off the Holy Bone Sword in advance, it must have been expected that Jenkins' sword would be cut off, so it must have been expected that he would need to repair the weapon.
So the repair weapon is a trap, and the difference machine put this bright trap in front of it, which is somewhat mocking Jenkins.
He waved his hand at the man in the hunting suit, indicating that he didn't need anything. Then he didn't start again immediately, but sat down and rested, and waited for his condition to be adjusted before setting off. Defeating the ancient Balrog with bare hands is enough to be an achievement anyone can boast about for a lifetime. Although Jenkins didn't suffer too many injuries, he still had to rest and recover.
The next enemy, with a high probability, is the power of the Calamity Beast. Even if you choose one of the three, it will still be like card magic. Jenkins will definitely draw the card that the magician's difference machine wants him to draw.
If it was before this strange situation, Jenkins would have a headache what to do next, but now that the power of World Tree has been further awakened, he has realized his own power, and in a real sense, he fought hand-to-hand with an ancient Balrog and won the victory , so he is no longer as uneasy about confronting the beast of disaster head-on.
This is not to say that he will definitely win, but that he has the possibility of winning. Sublimation of the physical body, so that his last short board is also complemented. Even if he fails to become a false god by saving the world, he is confident that he will become a real god within a year.
"Maybe half a year, or two or three months is enough, as long as I choose which priesthood to take as my core priesthood."
The palm moves in the air to drive the air flow, and at the same time, the experience of "Qi" is also deepened. He is stronger than ever and closer to the world. But even so, he still doesn't have 100% confidence in whether he can defeat his opponent, unless the opponent is naturally restrained by [World Tree Seedling] like [Scarlet Mayfly].
But luck won't always be that good.
"No matter what, I have to go on, for the world and for myself."
The images of the chocolate and the ladies at home flashed in his mind, and when he thought of the family members waiting for him, a fire seemed to ignite in his heart. Shaking himself up, he stood up with some effort, chose between the two swords, and finally chose the [Star Demon Sword] which was more similar in shape to the [Bone Sacred Sword].
In fact, if he is not worried that the opponent's form cannot be touched directly, he is more inclined to fight with his fists. Unfamiliar weapons are just as risky, and neither sword is as versatile as the Broken Excalibur.
"Which beast of disaster will it be?"
He took a deep breath and stepped into the door frame with his sword in hand.
The man in the hunting suit suddenly turned his head at this moment, instead of looking at the back of Jenkins who disappeared into the fiery red door frame, he looked at the initial position of Jenkins when he appeared in the strange place—
A second intruder appeared.
