Chapter 623: Chapter 335: Divine Artifact: Hammer of Shattering!
In an instant, the light and shadows shifted!
And Raine, after a bout of dizziness, returned to the position he was at just before being teleported.
...
At the same time.
Winterless City.
Half an hour earlier, when Duke Grobas died, the headquarters of the Talin Association learned of this through the Life Crystal.
At this moment in the meeting room, a group of Talin Association executives were seriously discussing.
"Did Grobas die within the borders of the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom?" Positioned second to the right and clad in heavy plate armor, ’Lord Black Claw’ Gardela said, his left broken eyebrow twitching slightly.
Because he remembered clearly that Grobas should have just completed the task from the Vincent Duchy and didn’t expect him to head to the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom.
"There was a task, and accompanying him was also ’Dimensional Blade’ Gaoxi." The Talin Association President, a middle-aged man with high cheekbones in a purple-gold magic robe sitting at the head of the long table, nodded.
"What does Gaoxi have to say? Hmm? Could it be...." Hearing President Osber’s words, Marson, wearing skull-decorated leather armor in the first left position, first asked but then reacted with surprise.
"There’s no contact either." Talin Association President Osber nodded.
At this moment, Osber glanced at the Communication Crystal Stone in his hand, looked around, and said: "The Black Fist Army has already confirmed that Gaoxi has perished."
"This...." ’Silent Blade’ Marson and ’Lord Black Claw’ Gardela exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Grobas ranked seventh in the Talin Association, and if he died within the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom, it could have been due to a direct confrontation with Brute Hammer the Second, but the fact that Gaoxi also lost contact is inexplicable.
The opponent is the vice commander-in-chief of the Black Fist Army, but Talin Association and the Black Fist Army are very familiar with each other, and Gaoxi is a Legendary Mage specializing in Space Magic. Even if he couldn’t win, couldn’t he at least escape?
"There seems to be some secret connection between the death of the Giant-eyed Tyrant ’Hillarack’ and the deaths of Grobas and Gaoxi. Although Hillarack died at Rapids Castle, remember that not long ago, the Soladin Kingdom and the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom had just signed a mutual defense alliance."
"And both Grobas and Gaoxi died within the territory of the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom."
...
Dalem.
As they saw Raine appear again, including Brute Hammer the Second, Grand Elder Balin, Princess Dongni, and other dwarf leaders all stepped forward.
"Mr. Rein, are you alright? Just now..."
Princess Dongni looked at the corpse of the Legendary Mage Gaoxi, synchronously appearing at Raine’s feet, and the words she intended to ask were stuck.
"I’m fine."
"Oh? Elder Grenum, you all came?" At this moment, Raine noticed Elder Grenum and the other three people on the side.
"Mr. Rein, we came late." The four elders looked frustrated, appearing regretful for having missed the battle.
Since time was tight, Raine exchanged brief greetings and immediately got to the point: "Your Majesty, Grand Elder, Princess Dongni, I have a plan, perhaps...."
"....to impersonate Gaoxi...and lure the dragon group back again....attack Aisores, and once it falls, I believe with His Majesty Brute Hammer and the elders’ close combat strength, victory should be attainable."
"Not a bad plan! But, Raine, are you confident in deceiving Aisores’ perception?" Grand Elder Balin first nodded, but soon furrowed his greying brow and asked.
Regarding Grand Elder Balin’s question, including Brute Hammer the Second, the dwarves all looked at Raine.
Because this question was critical.
If discovered, regardless of success, Raine would be besieged, posing high risk.
"Grand Elder Balin, I have confidence."
Hearing this assertive tone, Elder Balin looked Raine over again.
Although he didn’t know why Raine was so confident, he could feel that Raine was assured.
At this moment, after a brief contemplation, Raine activated the Shapeshifter Bloodline, placing it in the fifth bloodline slot, then donned Gaoxi’s magic robe and picked up his white crystal staff, after which, he used the Shapeshifter’s signature ability ’Transformation Spell’.
Seen as Raine’s face rapidly changed and his stature became tall and slim, soon, the identical figure of Gaoxi appeared right in front.
"This...this..."
"Is this not an illusion?"
"It’s so alike."
The Dwarf Elders and priests were dumbfounded!
Raine proved the feasibility of his plan through his actions.
"Good!" Brute Hammer the Second immediately decided.
"However, the plan has some flaws. Raine, strike me with all your might, just like you plan to on Aisores’ dragon wings later." Brute Hammer the Second said, smiling.
Saying this, he took a sturdy, thick heavy metal shield from one of the elders beside him, appearing to be at least a rare tier magic equipment.
Oh?
Raine raised an eyebrow, vaguely understanding Brute Hammer the Second’s intention.
"Your Majesty, be careful," Raine smiled.
Speaking, the Counterattacker in his hand gathered trifecta energy, and with a sharp whistling, charged towards Brute Hammer the Second.
As a melee king, such a frontal attack from Raine now surely couldn’t injure Brute Hammer the Second, who firmly held the shield in defense.
"Clang! Boom!"
First came the clash of metals, followed by an explosion of trifecta energy.
