Jonathan's eyes gradually turned cold.
He drew his long sword and loudly challenged, "Is it because of the secrets in this underground city that you want to keep us here forever?!"
"I have only one question. What exactly killed the Heroes who died before us and our brothers who have fallen here? You've known about the existence of this underground city and the Mutant Lord for a long time!"
"You've known the truth about this incident all along. Who is the real culprit, and why was it not mentioned in the quest you issued us? Did you intentionally send us to our deaths?"
"Correct." The Dwarf Minister laughed heartily.
"Speaking of which, we should thank you Heroes who suddenly appeared in this world. Since we sealed the underground city and returned to the surface, we needed to sacrifice many strong beings periodically to maintain the immortal seal..."
"This sacrifice has lasted for a thousand years, each time greatly damaging the vitality of the Blackstone Dwarf Kingdom, because only those of Rank B and above qualify to be offerings."
"The purpose of this quest was to send you to your deaths, to keep the seal running. But we never expected the Mutant Lord to be dead, and you accidentally helped us open the gate to the underground city again..."
"Once we regain the endless wealth of this underground city, my Blackstone Dwarf Kingdom will rule this continent!"
At the Dwarf Minister's command, a group of dwarves drew their weapons and charged at the group of Heroes.
The Dwarf Minister's face was red with excitement.
They had discovered a Mana Crystal Vein in the underground city in the past, but shortly after they began mining, they received terrible news.
The emergence of the Mutant Elemental Lord had cost them countless lives...
They were forced to leave the city and flee to the surface.
Now, the glory of the Blackstone Dwarf Kingdom would once again illuminate the land!
A group of dwarves roared and charged at the Heroes, and a battle erupted between the two sides.
Henry drew his sword and stood against a tall dwarf.
As soon as they made contact, his face turned serious.
This dwarf was extremely powerful, just as strong as him...
The Heroes who were besieging him were not as strong as this dwarf, but the gap was not big, and Henry was immediately engaged in a tough battle.
The Dwarf Minister, seeing this, laughed loudly and said, "I must thank you again. For centuries, my dwarf kingdom has been offering sacrifices to the underground. Those fighting you are the most loyal and powerful warriors of my dwarf clan. If it wasn't for the sacrifice of you Heroes, they would have been the ones to enter the underground and offer their lives."
"Thanks to your Heroes' sacrifice, they have survived. Now, they will end your lives. Isn't this the perfect cycle?"
Ethan silently watched the battlefield, the Dragon Slayer Spear slowly appearing in his hand.
He didn't speak, just pierced a dwarf's chest with his spear, lifted him high, and threw his corpse in front of the Dwarf Minister.
"I originally thought that the Dark Lord was the most despicable creature in this world. I didn't expect that you lot would be even more disgusting than them."
Ethan sneered, his figure turned into a black light, charging straight towards the Dwarf King!
Clang!
A loud noise sounded, a war hammer appeared in the Dwarf King's hand out of nowhere, easily blocking Ethan's attack.
"You lowly Hero, dare to offend the great king of my clan! All of you, listen to my command, kill this mongrel first!" The Dwarf Minister was furious, loudly reprimanding Ethan.
A group of dwarf warriors rushed at Ethan immediately upon hearing the command, but the Dwarf King gently raised his hand, halting the advancing dwarves.
He lifted his war hammer, removed his cloak and threw it to the Dwarf Minister. His muscles swelled and a terrifying aura emanated from him.
"After my ascension to the throne, I had planned to personally come to this underground city, defeat the Mutant Lord, and reclaim our homeland."
"Unfortunately, there was no opportunity..."
"The bones of my father have suppressed this place for a thousand years, but now they have been turned to ashes because of you."
"Do you understand your crime?!"
The Dwarf King roared in anger, his war hammer emitting a terrifying black light, and he smashed it towards Ethan's head!
"Kneel down and repent your sins, and I can leave your body intact!"
"You, worthy?" Ethan's Dragon Slayer Spear glowed brightly.
He drew his spear, the Dragon Slayer Spear in his hand burst forth with a crimson golden spear light, instantly colliding with the Dwarf King.
The Dwarf King also met the attack, his war hammer crashing down with a force that could shatter the heavens and the earth.
Even a Rank A big shot would be crushed to pieces under this attack!
Ethan's eyes were blazing, he stomped his foot and vanished in front of the Dwarf King.
Boom!
The Dwarf King's terrifying war hammer smashed into the ground, causing the earth to shatter and splinter into countless pieces of rubble flying in all directions, leaving a huge pit where Ethan had just been standing!
Ethan looked at the Dwarf King's extremely terrifying attack, licked his lips.
This guy was a pure power type warrior.
Without initiating his Holy Shining Form, the destructive power of this hammer might even surpass him.
However, in terms of absolute strength, the Dwarf King was definitely not as strong as the previous Mutant Lord.
Ethan held his Dragon Slayer Spear and once again charged towards the Dwarf King.
"Well done!" The Dwarf King sneered, swinging his war hammer and charging towards Ethan.
Each step he took shook the earth and kicked up clouds of dust!
Thud, thud, thud!
Ethan raised his spear to meet him, and the two instantly clashed, a series of muffled sounds of metal meeting metal echoed around them.
The Dwarf King's attacks fell like a torrential downpour on Ethan, but they never broke through his defenses.
The Dragon Slayer Spear constantly collided with the Dwarf King's war hammer, the red light on the spear becoming more and more intense!
"Die!"
Dodging the Dwarf King's attack, Ethan took advantage of the gap when the Dwarf King was withdrawing his hammer, seizing the opportunity, and made a sweeping attack towards the Dwarf King's waist!
Ethan's attack was full of force, the terrifying red light burst out instantly, and the horrifying murderous intent instantly enveloped the Dwarf King!
"Humph!" The Dwarf King snorted coldly, his body suddenly turned into an afterimage, and in the next moment, he had already moved behind Ethan, and without hesitation, he swung his hammer at Ethan!
Ethan's heart shuddered, he turned around and fired his spear!
A muffled collision sound echoed, and both of them were blown away, crashing into several buildings and causing rubble to fly and dust to roll.
"You dare to blaspheme my great dwarf kingdom, die, human!"
The Dwarf King let out a deep and angry roar.
He leaped high from the ruins, holding his war hammer and fiercely smashing it towards Ethan!
Boom! A powerful shockwave erupted from the Dwarf King, radiating outwards.
This gust of wind blew onto Ethan, almost flipping him over.
Ethan held his spear, a golden-red light exploded from his body, turning into a terrifying light shadow and charging towards the Dwarf King!
A terrifying shockwave erupted between the two, instantly overturning the entire battlefield.
The battling dwarves and heroes on both sides had to retreat, staying away from their battlefield.
"May the God of War protect me!"
The Dwarf King roared to the sky, his voice like thunder, echoing in this space for a long time.
Accompanied by a horrifying tearing sound, a series of ghastly cracks spread rapidly from the Dwarf King's body, covering the entire ground in a blink of an eye.
Boom!
After a muffled roar, the ground completely shattered.
The magnificent castle that had stood for a thousand years collapsed in this moment.
"Damn mongrel, I will kill you today!" The Dwarf King glared at Ethan, a killing intent surged in his body.
The Dwarf King was the first to make a move, disappearing and reappearing right in front of Ethan!
He swung his hammer towards Ethan's head, cutting through the air with a sharp whistle as if tearing through space itself!
Ethan's pupils constricted violently.
The Dwarf King's strength had obviously increased, he barely managed to react to this strike as the hammer in the Dwarf King's hand got closer and closer!
Thwack!
A clear call echoed in his ears.
Ethan held his spear horizontally, just managing to block this attack.
The Dwarf King missed, but his onslaught didn't lessen.
Hammer after hammer fell like a violent storm onto Ethan, the enormous force sending him flying, his body tracing an arc through the air and crashing through numerous buildings.
"Die!"
The Dwarf King was relentless, chasing after Ethan again.
His hammer, carrying a terrifying force, brutally struck towards Ethan's skull.
Clang!
Ethan's figure abruptly halted, as steady as a mountain.
With a shake of his right arm, the Dragon Slayer Spear shone brilliantly.
With a loud bang, the Dwarf King, his war hammer wrapped in dark light, actually drove Ethan into the ground.
A terrifying shockwave spread out, the earth cracked, and behind the Dwarf King emerged a tall phantom image.
Radiating an unparalleled aura, it made him look like a god of war.
"Hahaha, this lowly human, daring to challenge the might of my dwarf kingdom!"
The Dwarf Minister laughed heartily.
In his view, this human, although not weak, was definitely not the Dwarf King's match.
He was as good as dead!
