"Okay, let's go quickly..." After rejecting me, Lukogas once again showed off the attitude of seeing off guests, and his expression seemed a little anxious and solemn, as if he had something important to do next.

.

"Lord Lukogas, let's leave first. But we really can't come to you again in the future? Can't we get good materials? There will never be another excellent blacksmith like you in the world.

Two." I asked shamelessly.

"If you can find it." For some reason, Lukogas's beard trembled, and he seemed to have a faint smile.

Then, he waved his hand, and he really didn't want to pay attention to us this time. He turned back to the center of the lava lake, sat down slowly, crossed his legs and closed his eyes, as if he was taking a nap.

What if we can find him? We carefully considered it, where is he going next? Anyway, with the alliance's search capabilities, as long as he is still in the Dark Continent, there will always be a chance to meet him in the future.

Seeing that Lukogas had already fallen asleep, we bowed respectfully, took one last look at him, and turned to leave.

"Damn it, where is this guy Cruton?" After walking some distance, they found that Cruton, who was supposed to be waiting for us here, had disappeared. The three of them were immediately angry. They shouted that this loser in life was unreliable.

However, there is nothing wrong with Cruton. Next, we just need to leave here, return to the ground of the Plains of Despair, and then activate the city return scroll to return to the Demon Fortress.

In fact, we did do this. Although we really wanted to wait for Lukogas to wake up and bother him again. It was really not that easy to meet this giant blacksmith, but we could see it. I don’t know why.

For what reason? Lukogas wants us to leave quickly.

After exiting the cave, we activated the teleportation scroll and returned to the Demon Fortress.

However, at the same time, on the other side of the Plains of Despair, passing through the thundering City of God's Punishment, and entering the endless river of lava flames, deep in the sea of ​​lava, a majestic and ancient gray-black hall stood tall

It stands tall. Deep red molten magma continuously flows out from it, just like the center of this sea of ​​magma and the source of all magma.

In the center of the hall is a huge molten pool. The rolling molten water inside is different from the sea of ​​molten water outside. It is darker red and more vivid. Even the space in contact with it is slightly distorted, exuding a terrifying aura that destroys everything.

, in the face of this pool of destructive lava - Hell's Flame, even Duriel's eternal ice will melt.

However, underneath such a terrifying Hellfire, at this moment, there seems to be a terrifying, huge, dark shadow that evokes unspeakable and deep fear.

Accompanied by the sound of gurgling, the thick Hell Flame was suddenly raised high, and a [small island] slowly rose from the center of the pool. The first ones to emerge from the lava were rows of terrifying people.

The bone spurs, and then the back covered with fiery red scales.

A huge lizard-shaped monster emerged from the Hell's Flame, its back exposed, and then its tail covered with thorns was thrown out high, hitting the lava pool hard, making a loud roar, and the entire lava was

The sea immediately trembled and boiled. Countless monsters living here, whether they were resting, eating, or fighting, after hearing this loud noise, they all fell down in the direction of the hall, their bodies trembling.

, like a white mouse being stared at by a poisonous snake.

The huge thorn tail just flapped for a moment and then sank again. However, a more terrifying aura than before was emanating from the pool. A pair of big lantern eyes slowly appeared from inside, and then together with the huge head,

Half of it is exposed from the lava.

Just by raising this half of the head, the entire sea of ​​magma seemed to be like a huge monster waking up, and it began to violently blow up, blowing up a violent storm of destruction, and countless weak hell clans were caught in the storm.

He didn't even have time to react, so he kept his kneeling position and turned into ashes.

Those huge crimson eyes, full of destructive majesty and will, were slightly upward, staring quietly, as if their eyes were looking through the main hall, through the sea of ​​magma, through the City of God's Punishment, and towards an unknown place.

"My lord, the King of Hesi is here, what are your orders?"

Deep in the hall, from the dark unnamed space, a huge skeleton wearing a deep blue full-duplex armor walked out - the Forgotten Knight.

Its body is taller than the average Forgotten Knight, but it is not as tall as the Demon King Doro, the Knight of Doom, but the aura emanating from it is far more powerful than Doro, the Knight of Doom.

A thousand times, ten thousand times, it is the aura of a king, the grace of a king, as if it is the king of all knights of doom, hell knights, and forgotten knights.

Not as if, but inevitably, because it is the king of Xixi and the captain of the guard of the great demon Diavolo. In Diablo's power system, its strength is second only to its master.

The king of Xixi, who was wearing skeletal armor and had an unusually ferocious appearance, walked with a calm and calm pace, as if he was a graceful and meticulous old housekeeper in a tuxedo. He came to the edge of the pool and knelt down on one knee.

Say hello to your master.

"Rucogas is a variable." Diavolo stared at the pool for a long time, and suddenly made a sound that made the entire hall buzz.

"Lukogas? Is this the last giant my lord is talking about?"

"His presence may interfere with our layout."

"My lord, the King of Xisi is willing to serve you." After working under Diavolo for thousands of years, the King of Xisi already knows what he should do.

"If he were in his prime state, I would have no choice but to capture him, but now, his strength is less than one hundred and his body is extremely weak. It is a good opportunity to take action. Unfortunately, Tyrell's old immortal is watching him all the time.

We three brothers, let us not act rashly, otherwise..."

When he mentioned Tyrael's name, Diavolo's calm expression finally changed, revealing deep hatred, and even... with a trace of imperceptible fear and fear.

"My Lord, I would like to be your sharp sword. Wherever the sword points, Rukogas will be destroyed!"

The King of Xixi asked for help with a sonorous and confident voice. In fact, it had no choice but to do so. The boss called you over and said these words. Anyone who is more alert will know what to do.

"Very good. You are worthy of being my personal guard captain. My honor will always guide you. With your strength, you are enough to defeat the current Rukogas. But don't be careless."

"Please my lord, we are waiting for good news." The King of Xixi saluted again and sent Diavolo slowly sinking into the lava. Then, he pulled out the sword from his waist, his left hand burning with chaotic fire.

, striding towards the palace gate, with his footsteps, the violent wind of destruction spread, and countless fire pillars rose into the sky from the sea of ​​magma, as if to bid farewell to the second-in-command.

Walking out of the Hall of Destruction, looking at the countless pillars of fire rising into the sky, King Xixi's skull face shrouded in a helmet seemed to show a faint smile. As he took the next step, his body passed through the twisted space in front of him.

The next moment, in the depths of the Despair Plains and the Magma Cave, Rukogas opened his eyes, as if he was a host who heard the doorbell and got up to greet the guests. He stood up from the magma lake with a calm expression and looked towards the entrance.

.

A few seconds later, a twisted space appeared in the center of Lukogas' sight, and the tall figure of King Xixi appeared from inside.

"Diablo's minions have kept me waiting for a long time."

"By the order of my lord, I will take your life." The King of Xixi strode out of the space door, without stopping, and walking faster and faster. As he spoke, his left hand also grasped the hilt of the sword, and changed into

Holding the sword in both hands, the blue sword instantly merged with the light of chaos, turning into a chaos sword that was between the sword of existence and destruction.

"Die." Without any extra lines, the King of Xixi kicked off his toes and turned into a gray light. In less than a ten thousandth of a second, he appeared in front of Rukogas, and slashed with the chaos sword in his hand.

fall.

The lava lake under Rukogas dried up in an instant under the light of this sword. The cave in which Rukogas was in disappeared in an instant under the light of this sword. His giant body seemed to

Pulled into a chaotic space by this sword, there is no sky, no earth, no light, no darkness, no life, and no even dead things.

There is only this sword.

There was a hiss and a blood-curdling cracking sound. Lukogas' right arm holding the hammer was cut off directly by the sword. The severed arm that was still holding on to the hammer was spinning around.

Flying high.

The King of Xixi's expression remained unchanged, as if he did not feel doubts or uneasiness from the too easy attack. For a strong man at his level, the will and self-confidence in his heart are so strong that it is unimaginable.

After cutting off Rukogas's right arm, the next moment, his chaos sword thrust out again, so fast that he couldn't catch the flow of time, and instantly pierced Rukogas' heart.

So fast, so fast, as if the sword had already been inserted into the heart just when the arm was cut off.

The first strike removes Rukogas' most powerful attack method.

The second blow kills with one blow.

The King of Xixi only used two blows, and these two confident blows were enough to kill Rukogas who was in an extremely weak state.

"It's over, Lukogas, your head will become one of the most precious trophies for me, the King of Xixi..."

Raising his head, King Xixi showed an indifferent smile.

However, he found that Lukogas, who was obviously already dead, looked calmer than him.

"Your self-confidence is still a bit low." Lukogas said calmly from the trembling of the blood-stained gray beard. His pair of pure blue eyes like a baby, and the words he spoke, made Xixi

There was a wave of excitement in the king's heart.

He suddenly discovered that a large amount of blood was spraying from Rukogas' broken arm. The blood fell faster than its sword. In the chaos that should have been nothing, at the feet of the two people, a mass of blood condensed.

Created a magic circle.

"If your first blow is aimed at my heart, then you will be the winner."

"No————!!!" The King of Xixi finally let out an angry roar. He didn't even bother to pull out the sword that stabbed Lukogas' chest, and just wanted to retreat.

But at this moment, the severed arm fell from the sky in an arc, and the hammer clenched with five fingers happened to fall on the head of King Xixi.

This is the hammer that Rukogas has used for countless years. This sentence alone is enough to explain everything.

The hammer hit King Xixi's head, stunning him for a fraction of a second. For a strong man like Lukogas, 0.1 seconds was too long. It was enough to do too many things.

When the King of Xixi woke up, it and Lukogas were already enveloped by the light of the magic circle condensed from the blood at Lukogas' feet.

"Let's go and go back to the giant's home with me. Maybe if you feel bored there, I can teach you how to...become a qualified blacksmith."

Lukogas' plain words, mixed with the unwilling roar of the King of Xixi, disappeared into the chaotic space.

Once the mixed space disappears, everything returns to its original state. However, the lava lake and cave have disappeared, leaving only a large pit ten miles in diameter, which still exudes a dark and terrifying aura, making the entire Hell Clan in the Despair Plains

Considered a forbidden area.

At this time, at the edge of the pit, a slender figure gasped for air, as if he had lost all strength, and sat on the ground helplessly, in shock...
