Chapter 217 The Strengthened Seal
"Have you really decided?" The blindfolded nun raised her head slightly and asked Akhtar, "Whether you succeed or fail, you will have 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 the chance to kill him in the future."

"The Fire Giant Surtur is a being favored by Ragnarok." The blindfolded nun gently rubbed her cheek against the hand that was caressing her face, and then explained softly, "If you don't kill the Fire Giant Surtur as soon as possible, when the Fire Giant Surtur's power expands to be enough to burn the world, no one will be able to compete for the Lord of Ashes."

"Can it 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 reaches the Burning World."

"In other words, my hunch is correct?" Ximu nodded in understanding, as if he had made some kind of decision.

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 fail to 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 said softly:

"There are still three months left."

"There's still plenty of time." Ximu pinched his chin, his eyes fixed on the pretty face of the blindfolded nun, "But how can I defeat the fire giant Surtur?"

"Of course I can't let you fight the Fire Giant Surtur directly." The blindfolded nun explained, "I have the power to cancel the Fire Giant Surtur's power correction, but only during 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 was very close to that of the Omniscient Saint.

But there are also some differences. The one she serves is not Ragnarok, but Akhtar, who has the potential to 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 Dusk seemed to have guessed Akhtar's thoughts. She shook her head helplessly and explained to Akhtar.

"The premise for weakening the Fire Giant Surtur is that no outsiders interfere. If you want to use the power of the Witch of Death to kill the Fire Giant Surtur, that is not allowed by Ragnarok."

She pursed her red lips.

"While you are fighting the fire giant Surtur, I will create a barrier that is not affected by the outside world. If someone destroys the barrier I created, or sneaks in with special abilities, the fire giant will immediately recover its strength."

"Forget it, this is good too." Ximu showed an expectant smile, "It seems like it would be nice to fight against the fire giant Surtur."

"Please don't be careless." The blindfolded nun advised, "The fire giant Surtur is, after all, an existence that the gods fear."

The existence of the fire giant Surtur is like a nightmare weighing on everyone's heart. Everyone knows that on the day of Ragnarok, the fire giant Surtur will burn the world to ashes with his own hands.

The magma surging deep underground and the occasional sudden earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are nothing more than accidental fluctuations of the fire giant's power.

However, that slight fluctuation of power was enough to kill countless people.

"Wouldn't that be interesting?" Ximu said so, looking at the blindfolded nun's expression as if she wanted to say something but stopped, and shook his head and said.

"I'm hungry, do you have something to eat?"

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

"Charcoal-grilled dragon's tail?" Ximu said in a joking tone, and 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 wafted 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 choose the Ashes route? Besides being tired of other routes, another reason is that they are captured by the gentle embrace of the Blindfolded Nun.

Before I knew it, I was on the ash route.

……

...

at the same time.

Near the Magic Kingdom.

In a barren mountain, a black dragon with a broken tail was lying on the ground, doubting his life. He was just passing by the magic kingdom, but suddenly a blindfolded nun appeared, 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 suddenly appeared, and he didn't dare vent his anger on the Magic Kingdom because the Magic Kingdom had the Witch of Destiny.

Offending the Witch of Fate is no different from committing suicide.

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

He couldn't stay in this weird place. Who knew if someone would suddenly come out and chop off his organs.

It's just too dangerous.

……

...

Underground world.

In front of the sealed door.

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

"They should all be blocked." The Day Goddess shook her head, "But there is no way to delay it for too long. The power of the Fire Giant Surtur is expanding too quickly."

"There's nothing we can do about it. That kind of fire that burns everything is too troublesome." A male voice suddenly came from behind the door, and then a man's face appeared from the iron door.

God of doors and windows.

The god who is in charge of the concept of "door" is related to any concept related to door, even the gateway to the heavens, which he can freely control.

He is now responsible for reinforcing any doors and windows leading to the fire giant Surtur and 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?" asked the Night Goddess. "Does he have the confidence to delay the Fire Giant Surtur?"

"He's already working hard to set up the seal." The God of Doors and Windows showed a helpless expression and explained to the two goddesses, "But he also said not to hold out too much hope. The power of the Fire Giant Surtur has been growing. At most, the seal can only last for three months."

"Are we going to face Ragnarok in three months?" The Goddess of Daylight showed a worried look, "Didn't they say it would take ten years to come?" According to the three goddesses of fate, Ragnarok would take ten years to come, but now it seems that it is less than a year.

"Perhaps there will be other opportunities." The Night Goddess said this as if to comfort herself. She felt unable to accept the impending Ragnarok.

How can I describe this sense of crisis? It's like a prisoner who is about to be executed, watching the death date approach step by step in despair.

"We have already arranged everything that can be arranged." The God of Doors and Windows also comforted him, "Even if there is really no way to continue to seal the Fire Giant Surtur, he is also the Witch of Death. Akhtar and the others should prioritize fighting the Fire Giant Surtur."

The Daytime Goddess 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 goddesses of day and night.

The most important thing now is to strengthen the seal.

In order to ensure that the fire giant Surtur could not escape in a short time, the gods blocked all passages, strengthened the seals, set up barriers, let hallucinations fill every corner, and sent a large number of gods who were good at fighting to garrison.

However, such a strict arrangement can only delay the fight.

……

...

Underground world.

upper layer.

In a village where dwarves gather.

A lively banquet is taking place.

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

The group in this world who are most sensitive to the coming of Ragnarok are not the gods or the bards, but the Twilight believers who have a fanatical belief in Ragnarok.

The dwarves are the largest group in Ragnarok.

"Pali, are you unhappy?" A drunk dwarf boy came to the edge of the square and sat next to a dwarf loli.

He asked with a puzzled look.

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

"..." The dwarf Loli rolled her eyes, looking impatient with the dwarf boy's familiarity, but she still accepted it, "I'm thinking about someone. I can't feel happy when I think about him dying at the end of the world."

The dwarf boy's expression was stiff.

In fact, he has always had a strange feeling about this dwarf loli who came to live in 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 with her makes him feel a little...unable to control the impulse in his heart.

And now he actually heard the dwarf loli missing someone and worrying that person would die in the doomsday.

I couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart.

"That damn guy, it's too easy for him to die like this!" The dwarf loli gritted her teeth, and then her expression suddenly became lost. "But that guy is already so strong, I guess he has already forgotten who I am."

Dwarf boy: “…”

When he saw the expression on the dwarf loli's face, he felt as if his little heart was being pricked by a needle, with an unspeakable pain.

He really expected things without permission and broke the defense without permission.

"If you have nothing to do, go and dance." The dwarf loli waved her hand and drove away the dwarf boy beside her, "I'll just stay here."

“……” The dwarf boy was silent for a moment and left in a daze. This kind of disgusted attitude made him feel even more uncomfortable.

He lowered his head and took a step forward. The scorching flames brushed past his cheeks. The entire village disappeared in an instant, and everyone except him turned to ashes.

No... there is 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 and lifted up like a kitten.

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

But as long as you are not afraid of death, you have nothing to fear.

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

"Is this your little lover?"

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

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

"Then he is of no use." Ximu's eyes lit up slightly, as if there was a flame burning, and the dwarf boy not far away turned into ashes in an instant.

He put the dwarf Loli down.

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

The dwarf Loli answered without even thinking: "No."

"I plan to unseal the fire giant Surtur." Ximu's expression was calm. "Are you sure you can't do it?"

"A man who is a great hero would want to unseal the fire giant Surtur?" The dwarf loli looked like she was not going to fool me. "There is a limit to lying. Do you think I am 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.

"Am I not already a fallen hero?" Ximu spread his hands. "Then isn't it normal for a fallen hero to want to release the fire giant Surtur?"

The dwarf Loli curled her lips: "I know whether I am corrupt or not."

This man had always been a flawless hero before he joined the witch camp. It was not until the Cult of Death declared war on the whole world that his reputation gradually began to degenerate.

But she never felt that Akhtar had become a fallen hero.

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

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