Chapter 472 Loop
"Yes!"

The other hooded men responded one after another.

The muscular young dwarf who broke through the iron gate respectfully took out a light blue card and handed it to the hooded man in the lead, saying:
"Sir, this is a Level I identity key. With this key, we can not only take the elevator in the Sword of Dawn directly, but also open most of the doors of the Sword of Dawn and directly pass through most areas of the Sword of Dawn."

After a pause, the young dwarf continued: "...This includes the door to the energy room."

The hooded man in the lead took the access control, glanced at the light blue card, then looked at the young dwarf in front of him again, nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Very good, you have managed to obtain the Level I Identity Key, Taku. You really did not betray my trust."

After hearing the hooded man's praise, the young dwarf named Taku's eyes flashed with excitement and enthusiasm, and then he lowered his head again and said:

"It is an honor to serve my Lord, my Lord."

Looking at Taku who bowed his head respectfully, the hooded man's shadowed face curled up the corners of his mouth slightly.

He knew very well that Taku had hidden a lot of ulterior motives by not taking out this identity key until now, but as long as this guy could provide enough value.

What do those minor flaws matter?

With this thing, I can save a lot of effort.

As for how much Taku paid to get this identity key, and how much trouble it brought to himself and his family, it was not within the hooded man's consideration.

······
After patting Taku's shoulder in appreciation.

The hooded man in the lead, seeing Taku's excited expression, turned to the others and said, "Leave two people to guard here, and the rest of you follow me."

"Yes!"

Amid the solemn responses of the crowd.

Led by the young dwarf Taka, the group of hooded men quickly passed through the abandoned underground passage.

Then he entered the negative 18th floor of the Sword of Dawn.

Although the average height of the dwarves is not high, in order to facilitate the entry of special members of the tribe with "abnormal" height such as the Dwarf King, the average height of each floor of the Sword of Dawn is above six meters.

So the short -18th floor is actually a hundred meters deep underground.

"grown ups."

As soon as he entered the eighteenth underground level of the Sword of Dawn, the hooded man saw two middle-aged dwarves who seemed to have been waiting on the eighteenth underground level for a long time, and... corpses at their feet.

After simply nodding to the two chess pieces he had placed in the Sword of Dawn, the hooded man frowned slightly, glanced at the relatively quiet hall on the eighteenth underground floor, and then closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, an illusory green color was reflected in his eyes, as if they could see through reality and illusion...

He scanned the hall with his all-seeing eyes and saw nothing unusual.

The hooded man then carefully checked all the rooms on the eighteen underground floors of the Sword of Dawn one after another.

It took him a full minute to make sure that their retreat route was okay before he nodded.

At this time, the two dwarves he had arranged to come in earlier came over respectfully and said, "Sir, No. 13, No. 7, and No. 3 have dealt with the patrol guards on the eighteenth underground floor of the Sword of Dawn. In the next half hour, the patrols on the eighteenth underground floor of the Sword of Dawn will not find any abnormalities."

"Next, we can go directly through the stairs to the second underground floor where the energy storage room is located."

"However, due to the special nature of the energy storage room, the two staircase entrances from the first underground floor to the third underground floor of the Sword of Dawn are guarded by two Mithril Guards respectively, and there are also a large number of Dwarf Warriors guarding inside."

"If we want to enter the energy storage room through the stairs, we must eliminate those Mithril Guards within three seconds. Otherwise, once the alarm is triggered, the entrance to the stairs from the first underground floor to the third underground floor will be directly blocked by those Mithril Guards."

"Oh."

The hooded man seemed to be slightly interested, "Mithril Guard, these dwarves are really rich!"

Mithril has been one of the most conductive and expensive magical metals since ancient times.

The fact that they have six mithril guards guarding the entrance to the stairs is enough to show how wealthy the dwarves are.

Compared to those dwarf warriors, these mithril guards are undoubtedly much more difficult to deal with.

but.

Fortunately, they now have another option besides forceful attack.

Thinking of this, the hooded man who was rubbing the Level I identity key with his fingers looked at the young dwarf with even more satisfaction.

"Okay, let's take the elevator to the fourth underground floor, and then climb the stairs to the energy storage room on the second underground floor."

Because of the huge amount of energy stored, and for safety reasons, there are no elevators on the underground first and third floors of the Sword of Dawn. There are only two staircases connecting the inside and outside.

What this group of hooded men planned to do and temporarily controlled was the outer staircase under the Sword of Dawn.

talking.

The hooded man in the lead walked past the two middle-aged dwarves and headed towards the huge elevator not far behind them.

When he reached the elevator, the hooded man looked around for a moment and then took out the Level I identity key that Taku had presented to him earlier and placed it on the elevator's identification access control.

"Click."

As the sound of the mechanism turning was heard, the door of the elevator slowly opened.

"Walk."

After taking a look at the huge elevator inside the gate that could accommodate dozens of people, the hooded man in the lead said something and walked in first.

······
The hooded man who had just entered the eighteenth underground floor of the Sword of Dawn used the Eye of Dreams to scan the hall and carefully check all the rooms, but found nothing unusual.

After ensuring that their retreat route was fine, he nodded with satisfaction.

Ok?
I always feel like something is wrong.

The hooded man frowned slightly, feeling that this scene looked familiar.

But time is running out.

Soon he put aside the doubts in his heart, took out the Level I identity key that Taku had given him before, and opened the elevator.

"Crack!"

The fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time...

······
The Sword of Dawn, which was shining brightly in the night sky and tearing through the night sky like a giant sword, soon attracted the attention of countless people.

Not to mention the fierce fighting that broke out around Amberna Peak.

The energy rays that shot all over the sky and the deafening sound of the gunfire that resounded for hundreds of miles terrified the dwarves in the towns and villages around Mount Amberna. Soon, the news reached Bai Yan, who had sent Hela to the capital.

"Damn it, those people actually dared to attack the Sword of Dawn."

Bai Yan couldn't help but burst into cursing almost the moment he received the news.

He said goodbye to the Dwarf King and hurried back to Mount Amberna.

Although the light of civilization has awakened many dwarves, there are still hundreds of thousands of dwarves lost in their dreams in the entire dwarf kingdom.

These people are still waiting to be awakened by the eternal beacon on the Sword of Dawn.

at this time.

Nothing must happen to that eternal lighthouse.

Compared to when I went there.

Although Bai Yan, who bid farewell to the Dwarf King, was no longer accompanied by the heavyweight figure Hela, he gained Chongyan and a large number of elite dwarf warriors.

These were ordered by the Dwarf King to support the Sword of Dawn.

In addition to these elite dwarf warriors, the dwarf elder Chongyan even brought a dozen armed airships.

Although the Dwarf King also has to guard against attacks from the polluters who have been completely eroded by the power of the evil god, the safety of Mount Amberna is more important.

Because now on the Amberna Peak there is not only the Sword of Dawn, the strongest sword of the dwarves, but also the eternal lighthouse that concerns the fate of the entire dwarf race.

So as soon as he received the news, the Dwarf King immediately asked the Dwarf Elder Chongyan to mobilize 18 combat airships and rush to Amberna Peak as quickly as possible.

·······
Amberna Peak.

Eighteen floors underground.

When the hooded man took out the Level I identity key for the sixty-sixth time and opened the elevator door.

Accompanied by a slight "click" sound.

Just as he was about to enter the elevator, he suddenly looked up, his eyes were bloodshot and his expression was horrified.

this moment.

The hooded man sensed something was wrong.

No, it's...very wrong.

Not only was the vague sense of crisis in his heart constantly reminding him, but his own strange mental strength, which seemed to have been consumed for a long time and was on the verge of exhaustion, made the hooded man feel uneasy.

What horrified him even more was...
There was no one around him at this moment, but he... did not feel anything wrong.

It was as if he was the only one participating in this "Operation Broken Sword" from beginning to end.

but.

How is this possible?

How could such an important operation as "Operation Broken Sword" have only one executor?

No matter how confident he was, he would not think that he could destroy the dwarf's strongest sword single-handedly.

But if there was more than one person involved in this "Sword Breaking Operation", then where did the others go?
More importantly, why didn't he realize this at all just now?

And what about that strange yet familiar feeling before?

As the person in charge of this "Sword Breaking Operation", the Hooded Man's strength is unquestionable. Even compared with those powerful men who are famous in the Nine Realms, he is confident that his strength is not much worse.

but now.

All the things that happened to him made him feel creepy and uneasy.

With his forehead wet with sweat, he took a deep breath and stood at the elevator entrance and said loudly, "I wonder if that friend is joking with me?"

One second, two seconds...
After getting no response for a full minute, the hooded man suddenly jumped up.

The next second, a strange dagger shining with colorful light emerged from his sleeve and slashed fiercely at the elevator in front of him.

hum!
As ripples of void spread out.

The colorful sword light seemed to create the world, destroying everything in front of him.

The thick metal door made of alloy, the huge elevator that could carry dozens of people, and even the entire eighteen-story underground space were all shattered by the rippling void ripples.

······
"Huff..."

When everything in front of him was destroyed, with the help of the colorful little sword, the hooded man, who seemed to be between reality and dreams, suddenly froze.

"This is······"

At this moment, he seemed to see layered worlds in a trance. He saw himself leading a group of people into the hall on the eighteenth underground floor. He saw the two chess pieces who had killed the guards long ago and were waiting for him on the eighteenth underground floor. He saw himself walking towards the elevator surrounded by a group of people.

No.

more than one.

The second and third similar yet different selves kept appearing, repeating the original scene.

The same thing is that after going through the same process, they all walked into the elevator.

The difference is that the people and things around me are getting fewer and fewer.

Until...he was the only one left.

"What on earth is going on with all this?"

Just as the hooded man saw himself one after another.

In those layered worlds, those selves trapped in the elevators all suddenly looked up at the same time.

He stared at himself with a look of hatred that could not be described in words.

Amid those sixty-five resentful gazes, the hooded man's heart seemed to be ruthlessly grasped by a huge hand.

His heart stopped beating.

The extreme fear made the hooded man subconsciously clench the colorful sword in his hand.

"No, these are all fake, none of this is true..."

"I am a believer in the Lord of Dreams. These false illusions cannot deceive me. Yes, none of these can deceive me..."

Although the hooded man kept telling himself that everything before his eyes was just an illusion, the seemingly real experience and his subconscious mind were telling the truth.

Is it true or false?
In the conflict between real and illusory consciousness, the hooded man whose consciousness collapsed let out a loud roar, suddenly waving the colorful little sword in his hand, and ran away like crazy.

······
At the same time, in the gap between reality and illusion, a pair of eyes looked at the colorful little sword in the hooded man's hand, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

"interesting."
