by fnovelpiaThorvar was dumbfounded by Roxxar’s appearance as a hero.
“Roxar, how are you here?”
“How is it? I ran here in one step to save my friend!”
It was half true and half a joke.
Roxar is a blacksmith and a warrior who can fight, but unlike other masters, he does not go above ground and instead waits underground.
It’s because of some thorn.
-It would be nice to stop them from the outside, but that wouldn’t be easy. If a dragon were to invade Doomheim, we would need someone to protect the city.
-That’s right. But Jjokjeong, why are you talking while looking at me?
Karami had an innocent expression that didn’t suit her.
-You lost, right? Bet.
A drinking game where the winner grants a request.
The winner was Karami, who set a condition with the uselessly specific example of ‘blocking without running away when the dragon shoots its breath’.
‘I didn’t know you could actually ask me to block your breath!’
Looking back now, Karami knew from the beginning that the battle with Skida would occur and that he would aim for Magmar’s heart.
There.
– It’s definitely Breath. If Skadia charges, don’t come forward.
-Why?
-You can only block it once anyway, right? Then you have to block the strongest breath. That way, it’s half and half.
It gives me goosebumps.
Karami also saw through Roxar’s abilities.
Where on earth does his plan begin and end? Is he a prophet or something?
No matter how much I think about it, I still can’t figure it out.
That’s not the situation.
If you lose focus even a little, the breath will hit Magmar’s heart.
“Ugh… What’s so heavy?”
It’s heavier than any attack I’ve ever received.
A frozen hand riding a shield.
The body is pushed back little by little.
My legs are frozen and stuck to the ground.
I feel like I’m going to turn into an ice statue.
But Roxar did not back down.
Bam!
Break the ice that holds your feet together.
Rather, one step forward.
Move the shield a little higher.
A soft earthy hue surrounds Roxar.
The shield of light begins to push back the breath little by little, very little by little.
“What the… . A mere dwarf can breathe on this body… !”
The ability of Roxar, the shield of the earth.
He is blessed by the earth.
You can absorb the energy of the earth to strengthen your strength.
Of course, even the strong dwarf body would be strained if it absorbed a large amount of energy. It would need to take a long rest to reuse its abilities.
However, if you just exert your strength, Hanroksar, which is standing on the ground, will not fall down.
“I am Roxar, the shield of the Earth! The strongest and final shield recognized by the Earth! Even if my body is crushed, I will never be broken!”
The light of the barrier becoming clearer.
The shield expands in size for a moment.
“Wow, wow, wow!”
Roxar roared and extended his shield with all his might.
Pushed the breath away.
A reversed breath surged towards Skadia.
Phew!
There was a huge explosion.
A cloud of blue dust burst.
“Ugh… . Now my back hurts so much that I can’t even do this. Once this fight is over, I should just pass it on to my successor.”
Roxar patted his back.
“Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would have turned into a statue.”
“I’ll thank you later, but I’ll take my daughter out first, Torvar.”
The two dwarves’ gaze turned to the door.
“Daddyaaa!”
Perka, unaware of the situation outside, was still knocking on the door, screaming desperately.
“… Can’t you just open it after everything is done?”
“You talk nonsense so much that you can’t believe that daughter is like that father. Don’t you know how hot it is in there? It’s going to be a steamer. Open it quickly.”
“Ugh… .”
Torvar had no choice but to grab the vertical handle. When Perka pushed, it didn’t move at all, but when Torvar pulled, it opened easily.
Perka’s body, which had been leaning against the door, was thrown outward. Torvar caught Perka, who was leaning sharply.
“Oh. Dad? A ghost?”
“Why has this guy been making a ghost out of my father since a while ago?”
“But the breath…?”
“This uncle blocked it so well!”
Roxar boasts, pointing at himself with his thumb.
Torvar scratched his head awkwardly and avoided eye contact. I had said goodbye and told him to see him next time, but it felt like I had just met him at the bus stop.
I thought it was the last time, so I said things I normally wouldn’t say, but when things turned out like this, I was just embarrassed.
Meanwhile, Perka, who realized that Torvarga was a warrior, shed tears of sorrow.
“Oh my gosh! Dad! Don’t leave me alone! If even Dad is gone, how am I supposed to live on my own!”
Perka, who was clinging to Torvar while crying and snotting, was in an awkward position because Perka, a half-dwarf, was bigger.
Torvar sighed inwardly and stroked the back of his head.
“People should live while having conversations. How nice to see that?”
Karami came up the same way Perka had come. Torvar glared at him.
“It’s you again. You’re teasing Perka with useless words.”
“Why do you keep suspecting me? I just pointed out something I don’t understand, and it was clearly Perka’s decision to leave the shelter?”
Karami shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had gone wrong.
The condition for the complete liberation of the sub-slave Perka is the death of Torvar.
A sacrifice that dies in place of Perka. Just like Mirabelle, it is a common melodrama where one realizes love through the death of a family member.
The story of Perka, who realizes love belatedly after Torvar dies, inherits the will of fire and strives to become the controller of embers.
‘But isn’t Perka my slave?’
Why should we be completely liberated?
Unfortunately, I have no intention of giving Perka that honor. She will not be able to become the arbiter of the sparks, and will have to live her entire life listening to Torvar’s nagging.
“Kuhehe.”
“… Why is that guy like that?”
“I don’t know. My brain must be frozen.”
To assess the situation, Ulbram, Hargran, and Assis returned to the furnace late. They decided that this could not continue and held an emergency meeting.
Meanwhile, the golems are struggling to buy time for Skadia. Fortunately, he is not in a state of shock either, as he is unable to exert his full strength.
“Hey guys, what are we going to do? The power of the spark has weakened. It won’t last long like this.”
The situation is already unfavorable.
Even the heat of the spark that had been suppressing Skadia’s power was being attacked and dying down.
“Isn’t it just a matter of rekindling the spark?”
“Hey, you skinny kid. So how are you going to light the fire? If it were as easy as it sounds, why worry about it?”
“There is a way.”
When Hargran repeatedly criticized Karami’s opinions, Torvar took a rare moment to agree with Karami.
“The embers of Magmar are fed by melting the dwarf’s passion and soul. In other words, you can feed the embers in the same way.”
Ulbram asked.
“What is that method? Torvar.”
“There’s only one way. It’s what we dwarves do best.”
“If it’s something you’re good at… ?”
“Hammering.”
Torvar nodded, saying that Karami’s words were correct.
“The blacksmiths are each forging in their own forges. If their passion flows through the dragon veins and reaches the heart of Magmar, it can be rekindled.”
“But isn’t that too dangerous? A dragon flying like that… .”
“It’s dangerous. But that’s the only way I know.”
None other than Torvar, the Tunemaker of Flames. No one knows the Heart of Magmar better than he.
You must gather all the dwarves hiding in the bunker without exception. Even though the dragon is flying in the sky, you must ask them to forge as usual.
Bam…!
Everyone’s heads turned at the loud crash.
One of the giants fighting Skadia collapsed. This was because the embers had weakened. The cold seeped through the cracks of the golem, making it unbearable.
“There’s no time.”
“Okay, let’s gather people.”
“Wait, even if we keep the spark alive, what happens next? At best, it’ll be back to square one. No, it’ll be worse than before.”
“That’s right. I just blocked an attack, so I’m lacking strength. If he breathes again, there’s no way to block it.”
“… … .”
Hargran and Roxar hit the nail on the head.
I couldn’t come up with a counterargument to the cold reality. After all, if I couldn’t find a way to defeat Skadia, it would all just be meaningless tantrums.
“Assis Yang and I will take care of that part.”
“How?”
“There are many ways.”
The claim was unfounded.
Moreover, the speaker is not a dwarf, but a human slave trader.
There isn’t a single trustworthy source.
“What the hell. Of all these people, why should I trust you with this?”
“I agree with you.”
“Hehe, but what can I do? Isn’t there no one else who would be more suitable?”
“That’s why it’s even more annoying. This horrible reality that we have no choice but to accept.”
No one raised an objection.
It was unanimous.
“Then let’s move quickly.”
“I guess I have to convince people first.”
“Urgdar and I will do that.”
“Okay. Leave the underground to Ulbram, and have Torvar and the brat wait here. The rest of you, help Hergen and buy some time.”
“Okay.”
The dwarves worked together as one, making plans and putting them into action quickly and without hesitation.
“We’re moving too.”
Even if the dwarves are active, the main character of Snow White is ultimately Snow White. The key to defeating Skadia is held by Assis.
“How was it like dealing with them?”
“Strong. And it doesn’t work. Magic… .”
“Because when it comes to the ice element, he’s no different from a god.”
But that’s the same for Assis too.
Assis, who is protected by Skadia, also has extremely high immunity to cold. It is safe to say that he does not take any damage at all.
The loophole is here.
Even at this very moment, while fighting against Skadia, Assis is still under protection. That means that Skadia cherishes Assis that much.
ASIA’S ONE-SINGLE-SHEET.
Pure love, Scadia.
Of course, it is also good for exterminating insects.
‘There’s nothing like netorare.’
