Chapter 217 The Strengthened Seal

"Have you really decided?" The blindfolded nun gently raised her head and asked Akhtar, "Whether you succeed or fail, you will surely face a tragic ending."

"This is exactly why I want to kill the fire giant Surtur." Ximu reached out and touched the pretty face of the blindfolded nun, and gently rubbed her fair face with his fingers. "I have a strong premonition that if I don't kill the fire giant Surtur as soon as possible, I will never have a chance to kill him in the future."

"The fire giant Surtur is a being favored by the twilight of the gods." The blindfolded nun gently rubbed her cheek against the hand that was touching her face, and then explained softly, "If you don't kill the fire giant Surtur as soon as possible, Kill the fire giant Surtur, and when the power of the fire giant Surtur expands to the point where it can burn the world, no one can compete for the Lord of Ashes. "

"Expand to the point where it can burn the world?" Ximu pulled back his hand and asked the blindfolded nun, "Can that guy's power continue to expand?"

"As the deadline for Ragnarok approaches." The blindfolded nun explained to Akhtar truthfully, "The power of the fire giant Surtur will continue to expand until it can reach the burning world."

"In other words, is my premonition correct?" Ximu nodded in understanding, as if he had made up his mind.

The blindfolded nun also noticed this change, she pursed her red lips gently, and continued to explain the reason.

"Perhaps this is Ragnarok urging you to defeat the Fire Giant Surtur within a limited time. If you cannot win within the limited time, it means that you have lost the qualification to become the Lord of Ashes."

Ximu asked: "When will I lose the qualification to compete for the Lord of Ashes?"

The blindfolded nun did not answer immediately, but clasped her hands together and fell into a state of prayer. After a moment, she put down her praying hands and whispered:

"There are still three months."

"There is still plenty of time." Ximu pinched his chin and his eyes fell on the pretty face of the blindfolded nun, "But how can I defeat the Fire Giant Surtur?"

"Of course it is impossible for you to fight the Fire Giant Surtur directly." The blindfolded nun explained, "I have the power to cancel the Fire Giant Surtur's power correction, which is limited to the period when you intend to compete with the Fire Giant for the Lord of Ashes."

After Akhtar helped her regain her eyes, she naturally became the eyes of Ragnarok observing the world, observing the world from a human perspective, and her nature is very close to that of the Omniscient Saint.

But there are also some differences. The object of her service is not Ragnarok, but Akhtar, who may become the Lord of Ashes. She wants to guide Akhtar to become the Lord of Ashes of the Burning World.

But now she has given up guiding Akhtar to become the Lord of Ashes and chooses to respect Akhtar's own wishes.

"It can weaken the power of the fire giant Surtur." Ximu showed a strange expression, and Sister Twilight seemed to guess Akhtar's thoughts, shook her head helplessly, and explained to Akhtar.

"The premise of weakening the fire giant Surtur is that no outsiders intervene. If you want to use the power of the Witch of Death to kill the fire giant Surtur, it is not allowed by Ragnarok."

She pursed her red lips.

"During your battle with the fire giant Surtur, I will open a barrier that is not affected by the outside world. If someone destroys the barrier I opened, or sneaks in through special abilities, the fire giant will immediately restore its power."

"Forget it, this is also good." Ximu showed an expectant smile, "It seems that it is also good to fight with the fire giant Surtur."

"Please don't be careless." The blindfolded nun advised, "The fire giant Surtur is a fearful existence for the gods after all."

The existence of the fire giant Surtur is like a nightmare pressing on everyone's chest. Everyone knows that the fire giant Surtur will burn the world into ashes with his own hands on the day when the Ragnarok comes.

The magma surging deep underground, the occasional sudden earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are just the accidental fluctuations of the fire giant's power.

However, the fluctuation of that little power is enough to kill countless people.

"Isn't that interesting?" Ximu said so, looking at the expression of the blindfolded nun who was about to say something, and shook his head and said.

"I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"Yes." The blindfolded nun stood up with her skirt raised, her voice containing a hint of barely perceptible nervousness, "What do you want to eat?"

"Charcoal grilled dragon tail?" Ximu said in a joking tone, but the blindfolded nun nodded and agreed. After pouring a cup of tea for Akhtar, she turned into flames and disappeared in the mansion.

After a while.

The aroma of food came from the kitchen. Ximu turned his head to look at the blindfolded nun cooking in the kitchen and began to wait silently.

Why do many players take the Ashes route? In addition to being tired of other routes, another reason is that they are captured by the gentleness of the blindfolded nun.

Unknowingly, they took the Ashes route.

...

...

At the same time.

Near the Magic Kingdom.

In the barren mountain, a black dragon with a broken tail lay on the ground and doubted the dragon's life. He just passed by the Magic Kingdom, but a blindfolded nun suddenly appeared and cut off his tail with a flaming dagger, and then suddenly disappeared.

"What the hell is going on?" He lay on the ground, wanting to vent his anger, but he didn't know who to vent it to.

He definitely couldn't defeat the nun who appeared out of nowhere, and he didn't dare vent his anger to the Magic Kingdom. Who allowed the Magic Kingdom to have the existence of the Witch of Destiny.

There is no difference between offending the Witch of Fate and committing suicide.

"What's the point of cutting off my tail?" the black dragon gritted his teeth and said, then spread his wings and fled in the direction of the Dragon Empire.

We can't stay in this weird place. Who knows if someone will suddenly come out and chop off some of his organs.

It's just too dangerous.

…

…

Underworld.

In front of the sealed door.

"How is it?" The Night Goddess touched the heavy door with her palm and asked her companion behind her, "Are there any loopholes that need to be closed?"

"They should all be blocked." The goddess of the day shook her head, "But there is no way to delay this for too long. The power of the flame giant Surtur has expanded too fast."

"There is nothing we can do about it. The flame that burns everything is too difficult." A male voice suddenly came from behind the door, and then a man's face emerged from the iron door.

God of doors and windows.

The god who is in charge of the concept of "door", as long as the concept of door is related to him, he can freely control even the portal to the sky.

Now he is responsible for reinforcing any doors and windows leading to the fire giant Surtur, prohibiting any outsiders from entering.

Of course, the most important thing is to prevent the fire giant Surtur from coming out.

"What did the God of Sealing say?" Night Goddess asked, "Is he confident in delaying the flame giant Surtur?"

"He is already working hard to arrange the seal." The God of Doors and Windows showed a helpless expression and explained to the two goddesses, "But he also said not to have too much hope. The power of the flame giant Surtur has been expanding. It will only take three months to survive."

"Are we going to face Ragnarok in three months?" The goddess of the day looked worried, "Didn't it say there are still ten years before it comes?"

According to the words of the three goddesses of fate, there are still ten years before Ragnarok arrives, but now it seems that it is less than a year.

"Maybe there is another turning point." The Night Goddess said as if to comfort herself, feeling unable to accept the upcoming Ragnarok.

How to describe this sense of crisis, it is like a prisoner who is about to be executed, desperately watching his death day approaching step by step.

"Everything that can be arranged has been arranged." The God of Doors and Windows also comforted, "Even if there is really no way to continue to seal the flame giant Surtur, it is also the witch of death. Akhtar and the others will give priority to fighting the flame giant Surter. you."

The goddess of the day shook her head slightly: "If it really comes to a critical moment, the best way is to cooperate with each other, otherwise we will all be burned to ashes."

"That's true." The God of Doors and Windows smiled, retracted his face outside the door, and did not continue to communicate with the two goddesses of day and night.

The most important thing now is to strengthen the seal.

In order to ensure that the flame giant Surtur could not escape in a short time, the gods blocked all passages, strengthened the seals, arranged barriers, filled every corner with psychedelics, and sent a large number of gods who were good at fighting to come and garrison.

However, such strict arrangements can only delay it.

…

…

Underworld.

upper layer.

In a village where dwarves gather.

A lively banquet is being held.

The dwarves held their wine glasses high and danced around the village bonfire, celebrating the end of the world and the fact that the world was about to burn to ashes.

The most sensitive group in the world to the coming of Ragnarok is not the gods, nor the bards, but the Twilight believers who have fanatical beliefs in Ragnarok.

The dwarves are the largest group in Ragnarok.

"Pali, aren't you happy?" A drunken dwarf boy came to the edge of the square and sat next to a dwarf lolita.

He asked with doubtful eyes.

"It's almost the end of the world, why aren't you smiling?"

"..." The dwarf Loli rolled her eyes and seemed impatient with the dwarf boy's familiarity, but she still accepted it, "I'm thinking about a person. As long as I think about him dying at the end of the world, I feel unhappy. stand up."

The dwarf boy had a stiff expression.

In fact, he has always had a strange feeling about this dwarf Lolita who came to the village temporarily. Not only does she have a very mysterious past, but she is also prettier than the dwarf girls in the village. Just the slightest contact makes him a little... uncontrollable. Live the urge in your heart.

And now he actually heard that the dwarf Loli was missing someone and was still worried that that person would die in the end.

I couldn't help but feel sour inside.

"That hateful guy, it would be too easy for him to die like this!" The dwarf Loli gritted her teeth, and then her expression suddenly dropped, "But that guy is already so strong, he probably has long forgotten who I am. Bar."

Dwarf boy: "..."

Regarding the expression shown by the dwarf Loli, he only felt that his little heart was being stabbed by a needle, and there was an unspeakable pain.

He really expected without authorization and broke the defense without authorization.

"If you have nothing to do, you can go dance." The dwarf Loli waved her hand and drove away the dwarf boy beside her, "I can just stay here by myself."

"..." The dwarf boy was silent for a while, and left in despair. This disgusting attitude made him feel even more uncomfortable.

He lowered his head and took a step forward. The hot flames passed by his cheeks. The entire village disappeared in an instant, and everyone except him was reduced to ashes.

No... there's still one person alive.

The dwarf boy turned his head stiffly and saw the dwarf loli being grabbed by the collar by a man in silver armor, who was lifting her up like a kitten.

"Akhtar, let me go!" The dwarf loli struggled and kicked Akhtar's knees with her feet. She was not afraid of the man who grabbed her collar, even though he was a demon who could kill gods.

But as long as you are not afraid of death, you don't have to be afraid.

"Still as energetic as ever." Ximu laughed, then glanced at the dwarf boy not far away and said:

"Is this your little lover?"

"Humph, my taste is not that bad." The dwarf loli snorted, causing the dwarf boy to twitch his mouth and feel like his heart was stabbed.

But he also figured out one thing, the man who destroyed his village was the hero Akhtar in the past, a powerful existence with the deeds of killing gods.

"Then he has no use value." Ximu's eyes lit up slightly, as if there was a flame burning, and the dwarf boy not far away instantly turned into ashes.

He put the dwarf loli down.

"Hey, do you have a way to sneak into the place where the fire giant Surtur is sealed?"

The dwarf loli answered without thinking: "No."

"I plan to unseal the fire giant Surtur." Ximu's expression was calm, "Are you sure you don't have a way?"

"Would a man who is a great hero want to unseal the fire giant Surtur?" The dwarf loli looked like I'm not easy to fool, "There is a limit to lying, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Even she had to admit that the man in front of her was a hero and it was impossible for him to release the fire giant Surtur.

It would be better to say that Akhtar would find a way to kill the fire giant Surtur.

"Isn't I already a fallen hero?" Ximu spread his hands, "Isn't it normal for a fallen hero to want to release the fire giant Surtur?"

The dwarf loli pulled the corner of her mouth: "I know whether I am fallen or not."

Before joining the witch camp, this man was a flawless hero. It was not until the Death Cult declared war on the world that his reputation gradually began to move towards the direction of corruption.

But she never thought that Akhtar became a fallen hero.

"...I am really fallen." Ximu did not continue to argue, raised his hand and grabbed the back collar of the dwarf loli, and walked out of the village.

The blindfolded nun waiting outside the village saw this scene, smiled, and walked towards Akhtar.
