Chapter 1263 Solving the Problem (Start playing Shin Megami Tensei V today)

Marshal Reginald did what he said. Early the next morning, he arrived at the hotel where Duanmu Huai and others were staying. Well, it was also thanks to his quickness. In fact, if he had arrived a little later, Duanmu Huai would have checked out and prepared to go to Ahn'Qiraj.

"Blackrock Spire?"

Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised when he saw Reginald in front of him. He recognized that the warrior in front of him was the guy who had fought the black dragon yesterday. But this guy came to him early in the morning and talked about Blackrock Tower, dragon people, and the black dragon's conspiracy... Is this something he should talk about early in the morning?

I haven't brushed my teeth yet!

"Anyway, you want us to go to Blackrock Spire with you to investigate, right?"

Duanmu Huai stopped Reginald from speaking in a daze. He just wanted his mind to be empty early in the morning instead of being filled with thoughts about this conspiracy or that black dragon.

"That's right, warrior, we need your strength, Storm Kingdom needs your strength!"

"Okay, okay, I've never been to the Burning Land, so it might be nice to go and take a look..."

Duanmu Huai didn't really care, he was just going around, and the Inquisitor's duty was to protect humans and eliminate aliens. According to Reginald, if there were still dragons and the like there, it would be right to purify them directly. So he agreed without much hesitation.

  On the contrary, Reginald was somewhat surprised. He originally thought that in order to convince such a big shot, he would have to present facts, reason and explain the pros and cons and spend a lot of effort to succeed. However, he did not expect that the other party nodded directly as soon as he opened his mouth?

No matter what, just agree to it.

As the saying goes, you have to get up from where you fell. Reginald was very angry when he was imprisoned in Blackrock Depths, and he had been eager to go back and avenge his previous humiliation. Although Varian had no way to dispatch an army to Reginald, he still sent dozens of elite soldiers to go to Blackrock Spire with Reginald again to find out the secret.

After the deal was reached, the group quickly set off for the Burning Plains where Blackrock Spire was located.

To be fair, Duanmu Huai thought that the environment of the Burning Plain was even worse than the wetlands. It was dry, hot, and that Black Stone Mountain was no different from the Flaming Mountain in Duanmu Huai's opinion.

Because of the small number of people, Reginald still adhered to the idea of ​​a few elite beheading tactics, planning to lead everyone to quietly bypass the defense line of the Dark Iron Dwarves and Dragon Patrol and sneak into the interior of Blackrock Mountains. Then he would investigate what the Dark Iron Dwarves and Black Dragons were doing, and then find a way to deal with the culprit.

Well, a whole Hollywood blockbuster routine.

Duanmu Huai didn’t care at first, but after entering the Blackrock Tower, he regretted it.

the reason is simple.

"Let me see. Blackrock Depths is over there. If I remember correctly, the Molten Core should be below it."

"Molten Core? Where is it?"

"Uh... go from this side of Blackrock Depths, then go down... but now we have to go to the upper level."

"upper layer?"

"Follow this chain to the other end, and you will reach the upper level of Blackrock Spire. The secret of the black dragon should be hidden there..."

"Which end? Which way to go? Where are we going now?"

Standing in the middle of the Blackrock Tower, looking at the maze-like roads and entrances in front of him, Duanmu Huai felt dizzy.

Is this the path people should walk on?

"enough!"

  Seeing Reginald still holding the map and mumbling to others, Duanmu Huai finally couldn't help but interrupt their discussion. If he continued to listen, he felt like his head was going to explode. A broken volcano, how could it be so complicated? There was no end to it, right?

"Warrior? What's wrong?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's shout, Reginald was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Duanmu Huai walking in front of him, lowering his head and staring at him.

"Let me confirm that you came to this Blackrock Tower to investigate the problem and then solve it, right?"

“That’s… that’s right.”

"Ultimately, it's about solving the problem, right?"

"Uh... is that right?"

After being asked this by Duanmu Huai, Reginald himself became a little unconfident.

"That's okay."

After getting a positive answer from Reginald, Duanmu Huai nodded in satisfaction, and then Reginald saw the warrior stretched out his hand and took out a strange thing from his arms. When seeing this thing, Naruse Mio, Maria, Akemi Homura and Kisaragi who were following Duanmu Huai all took a few steps back and distanced themselves from Duanmu Huai.

Well, it's purely an instinctive reaction.

Duanmu Huai didn't care about the girls' reactions. He just fiddled with it for a few times and then threw it into the lava under the abyss in front of him. "Okay, let's go."

After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and left.

"???"

Although they didn't know what Duanmu Huai was planning to do, Reginald and the other soldiers had no choice but to follow him. After all, in Reginald's plan, this fierce man who could tear a black dragon apart with his bare hands was the key. If he gave up and was unwilling to do it, it would be impossible for him to rush into Blackrock Spire with a group of soldiers to cause trouble. It would just be a repetition of the previous incident when he was captured by the Dark Iron Dwarves.

"Warrior, I understand how you feel, but this matter is indeed of great importance...why don't I send someone to investigate inside Blackrock Spire first, and then take action after confirming the situation inside..."

Of course, after walking out of the Blackrock Tower, Reginald still wanted to persuade Duanmu Huai. In his opinion, Duanmu Huai might not want to waste time here, so he quickly changed his plan. However, Duanmu Huai didn't say a word, just walked forward, and then he stopped abruptly after leaving the Blackrock Tower for a long distance. Instead, Reginald, who was chattering, didn't stop and almost bumped into Duanmu Huai.

"This warrior?"

"Well, this distance is about right."

Duanmu Huai ignored Reginald's question, turned his head to look at the Blackrock Tower, and then looked at Reginald and the soldiers behind him who were still confused about the situation.

"In short, all we have to do is solve the problem, right?"

"Yes."

Duanmu Huai stared at Reginald and asked again, and Reginald felt even more strange at this moment, but he still nodded. As Duanmu Huai said, isn't their goal to solve the problem in the end?

"That's good."

Hearing Reginald's answer, Duanmu Huai nodded.

"Now cover your ears and get on the ground."

"???"

Although they didn't know what Duanmu Huai wanted to do, Reginald and the soldiers still covered their ears and lay on the ground obediently according to Duanmu Huai's order. As for the girls, they hid behind Duanmu Huai with ease, and Naruse Mio directly used gravity magic to build a wall on the spot, blocking them and the soldiers behind the wall.

Then Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

“——————————”

The next moment, a sun so bright that it almost blinded Reginald appeared before his eyes.

  In his eyes, a bright light suddenly flashed beneath the tall Black Stone Mountain in front of him. The next moment, the ground suddenly began to tremble and surge like huge waves. At the same time, the entire Black Stone Mountain completely exploded under the horrified and unbelievable gazes of everyone! !

The whistling air flow mixed with gravel swept across the entire Burning Plain in an instant. The stones flew through the air at a speed like bullets or artillery shells, hitting all around. Even with the protection of Naruse Mio's wall, Reginald and others could still hear the sound of the gravel hitting the wall, like hail.

  The ground beneath them was heaving and shaking like raging waves, and it almost threw Reginald into the sky!

They were like fish on land, flapping and jumping—only not voluntarily.

After a while, the earth returned to calm, and Reginald stood up, enduring the pain all over his body, and looked forward.

Then he was completely stunned.

  Before Reginald's eyes, the towering Black Stone Mountain had completely disappeared, and in its place was a huge deep pit with billowing smoke!

What happened in the end?

  Where is Black Rock Mountain? Where is my huge Black Rock Mountain? It was right there, how come it disappeared?

"roar-------!!!"

However, before Marshal Reginald could react to what was happening, a roar of a dragon suddenly erupted. The force was so strong that it even dispersed the dust and dark clouds scattered around. Then, a huge black dragon emerged from the smoke of the explosion in a rage, flapping its wings and roaring angrily.

"Who is it! Who is so presumptuous! I want you to pay the price!!"

"Oh, it seems that's the real one."

Duanmu Huai stretched his body and was about to go forward to kill it. However, before he could do anything, a scorching flame suddenly erupted from the huge pit again, and then a tall monster with a body made of flames suddenly emerged from it, holding a war hammer and angrily scanning the entire burning plain.

"You dared to destroy this sacred place. I will make you pay! Witness the power of Ragnaros with your own eyes, and then be destroyed!"

  Wow, two were blown up at once. It seems that this place is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers as Reginald said. Duanmu Huai thought that it would be over as long as he blew it up, but he didn't expect that there was still a guy who could withstand this attack. It seems that he is quite capable, or... just lucky?

If I had known earlier, I should have placed a few more melta bombs like when I blew up the World Stone.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter, it’s the same fight.

Duanmu Huai thought for a moment, shrugged his shoulders and looked at Naruse Mio.

"You guys go deal with that big reptile, I'll go fight hammer with Lao Huo over there."
