Chapter 442: Hill Monster

Swish, swish, swish!

On the iron chain bridge, shadow guards stood in two rows, waving shadow blades to block the arms attacking from below.

Enzo walked steadily forward.

The black mountain was getting closer and closer, and the strange fog spread. A dark and deep cave appeared at the end of the iron chain bridge, like the mouth of an ancient beast.

"The divine fire is inside!" Hirsch said firmly.

Enzo's eyes fixed on the cave below the mountain, and he turned on the scanning function of the chip, but got a mess of noise.

"Energy interference?" Enzo frowned slightly.

The chip seemed to be interfered with by something, so the function was abnormal. The black mountain in front of him looked extremely mysterious in the fog, and some special power kept luring Hirsch to get closer.

Enzo walked down the iron chain bridge and prepared to enter the cave.

However, at this moment, a roar suddenly came, and the rock-like gorilla monster on the black mountain suddenly jumped down, hitting the ground with a dull sound, shaking the iron chain bridge.

"No one is allowed to approach the place where the sacred fire is!"

The rock gorilla spoke in human language, making a deafening sound, and clenched a pair of huge hands into fists, knocking hard on the chest.

"The guardian of the sacred fire?" Enzo's eyes flickered.

The Temple of Slaughter is the kingdom of Helshi, and it is normal for a guardian to exist. The rock gorilla in front of him is at least a demigod creature.

"I am Helshi, the God of Slaughter, and I order you to get out of the way immediately!"

At this time, Helshi stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "When I find the lost sacred fire, I will return to the throne of God!"

The rock gorilla leaned down, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

Then, it roared loudly, "A living being transformed from a trace of divinity dares to call itself the God of Slaughter. It is simply a blasphemy to His Highness Hershey!"

"Go to hell, heretic creature!"

"I will smash you to pieces and let the divinity turn back into power as the source of my Lord's resurrection!"

As soon as the voice fell, the rock gorilla jumped up.

The huge body fell like a meteorite, and Enzo immediately retreated. At the same time, a tide of shadows appeared under his feet, turning into tentacles and attacking wildly.

"Damn it!" Hershey gritted his teeth.

The words of the rock gorilla just now made him feel extremely ashamed. As a life form that was a fusion of a trace of divinity and the magic power of the phantom crow, Hershey always regarded himself as the God of Slaughter because he carried some of the memories of the God of Slaughter.

But the rock gorilla broke his fantasy!

Even if Hershey was a part of the God of Slaughter in a strict sense, he was not really the God of Slaughter anyway. At most, he had the opportunity to be deified like other sons of Slaughter.

"In my name, the flower of killing blooms!"

Then, Hirsch suppressed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath, waved his hand to release the power, turned into blades, and attacked the rock gorilla.

Crackling!

A harsh friction sound rang out, and the blades condensed with the power of killing hit the body of the rock gorilla, forming scars, and large pieces of gravel fell down, causing the rock gorilla to roar angrily.

"The heretics who blasphemed the master should be punished!"

The rock gorilla slammed his chest with both hands, making a deafening roar, and the sound waves turned into ripples and spread, shattering the surrounding shadow tentacles. Enzo frowned slightly, and took a half step back due to the slight backlash of magic.

"It seems that if we don't solve this monster, we can't take away the sacred fire in the mountain!" Enzo's eyes were firm.

Then, the shadow under his feet spread like a tide.

Thousands of shadow soldiers emerged from the tide and attacked the rock gorilla. Compared with the opponent's huge body, the shadow soldiers were like a group of ants.

Bang, bang, bang!

The rock gorilla waved his arms and launched a frenzied attack. The shadow soldiers hit by the iron fist immediately turned into black mist and shattered, but then they condensed again to become soldiers.

"A demigod creature that relies purely on physical attacks?"

Enzo frowned slightly. The strength of the rock gorilla was somewhat unexpected. As a demigod creature, it did not have the ability to cast spells. This obvious shortcoming was simply fatal to wizards.

"It seems that its spiritual attribute should be very low."

Enzo thought slightly, and then he had a plan. In order to save time and magic power, he did not intend to entangle any more. The silver light flashed in his eyes, and his mental power turned into a sharp cone and stabbed out.

Soul thorn!

In an instant, the rock gorilla froze, and then it wailed, and its huge body fell directly to the ground, smashing a large number of shadow soldiers into black mist.

"Dark extinguishing fire meteorite!"

Then, the Soul Bone Magic Wand appeared in his hand. Enzo paused suddenly, and fire meteorites gathered in the sky and smashed towards the rock gorilla.

Boom!

Amid the huge sound, burning meteorites smashed into the rock gorilla, breaking its body in an instant, and finally turning it into a pile of rubble, and blood flowed out like magma.

"Is it over?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

Things went more smoothly than expected. Enzo thought that a guardian of the divine fire must have a certain strength, but it was killed completely in less than ten minutes.

Under the black mountain, the dark cave was within reach.

After defeating the guardian here, Hirsch's will to enter the cave seemed to become stronger and stronger, as if he could get the divine fire and be promoted to a god as long as he took a step.

"Alarm! The subject is disturbed by the spirit."

Just as Enzo was about to enter the cave, a chip alarm suddenly sounded in his mind. He was startled and stopped immediately.

"Hirshi, come back!"

Enzo shouted and summoned Hirsch back by force.

Rumble!

In the dark cave, there was a low roar, and then the earth shook violently, and the black mountain began to move.

"A trace of the power of the killing divinity."

"It's been a long time since I felt it. It's a pity, why can't you come in?" The strange voice sounded, which seemed very abrupt.

Enzo retreated quickly and returned to the iron chain bridge.

Then he saw a shocking scene. The black mountain in front of him stood up slowly, and a pair of dark eyes opened in the middle of the mountain, looking at everything below with greed.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple!" Enzo took a breath.

The black mountain was obviously a trap. It attracted Hirsch, who had the killing divinity, in a special way, as if it was going to swallow him up and seize the power of divinity.

Rumble!

Amidst the huge noise, the black mountain peak shook in vain, and then it stood up like a human being, with rocks gathered into legs and arms, and eyes and mouth on its huge head.

Hill troll!

This is a semi-god creature from ancient times. It is not a tribe, but a unique existence. It was originally just a mountain. It was worshipped by the surrounding humans and opened its spiritual wisdom.

It is only one step away from becoming a god!

"The taste of divinity is really wonderful!"

The hill troll looked down, greed in its huge eyes, and the rock arm in the depths grabbed towards Hirsch.

Enzo frowned slightly, and the invisible energy blocked the rock hand.

At this time, everything seemed to be clear. There was no so-called divine fire here. It was all a trap set by the hill troll. It longed for the killing divinity in Hirsch's body, so it used some special method to attract Hirsch.

"But how did it do it?" Enzo thought.

The hill troll is an ancient creature, but it is not known for its spiritual power. Enzo was very curious about how it forged the breath of the divine fire and even interfered with Hirsch's judgment.

"Huh? That is..."

Suddenly, Enzo noticed that there seemed to be a broken stone inlaid on the top of the hill troll's head. It should have been a cube, but for some reason, only about one-fifth of it was left.

"If I eat you, I can get more power!"

The hill troll roared, then waved its arms and smashed the ground violently, but Enzo avoided it with shadow magic, and also used the chip to scan the top of the hill troll's head with all his strength.

"So that's it!" Enzo's eyes lit up.

According to the intermittent feedback from the chip, he learned that the broken stone on the top of the hill troll's head was actually a fragment of the divine fire. When the God of Slaughter fell, the complete divine fire was broken into pieces, and one of them was obtained by the hill troll.

This explains why Hirsch felt the breath of the divine fire.

The broken divine fire can no longer help the demigods to become true gods. If the hill monster wants to be deified, it needs to get at least a complete divine fire or find other fragments of divine fire.

"Hissi, is the broken divine fire still valuable?" Enzo asked.

The Killing Crow hesitated and said, "The divine fire is a treasure bred by the world. Even the dominant god cannot break it. I have never had a fragment of broken divine fire in my mind."

"Therefore, I don't know what value the broken divine fire has."

After hearing Hirsch's words, Enzo was shocked and began to recall in his mind. According to the records in the Encyclopedia of Gods, the divine fire is indeed a treasure bred by the world. Even in the civilized world at the top of the multiverse, such as the wizard world, the total number of divine fires will not exceed one thousand.

At the same time, the divine fire is almost impossible to be broken, and it is known as the strongest thing in the world!

"It seems that it is the masterpiece of the wizard ancestor!" Enzo's eyes flickered, and he had an inference in a moment. If someone in this world can break the divine fire, then the most likely possibility is the legendary wizard ancestor.

Eighth-order life, an unrivaled existence in the multiverse!

So far, even the most powerful supreme wizards, God Kings, and Abyss Lords in the multiverse are only at the seventh order. Except for the wizard ancestor, there are no other eighth-order life forms.

"No matter whether this thing is useful or not, get it first."

Enzo pondered for a moment and made a decision. At this time, the hill monster had attacked again. Every movement of the terrifying body made the earth tremble. The previous iron chain bridge had already broken, and the lake below was rippling.

"Emerald Crow!" Enzo called softly.

As an ancient existence, the hill monster is already at the limit of demigod. If it weren't for the lack of divine fire, he would have been promoted to a true god long ago. Enzo must go all out if he wants to take him down in a short time.

A green light flashed in the sky, and the Emerald Crow was summoned.

The majestic force of nature turned into stars, falling from the sky to the ground, and trees and plants rose from the ground, and thick vines seemed to have life, wrapping around the hill monster.

In a moment, the hill monster was surrounded by green.

"Go to hell, you damned little bug!"

The hill monster roared furiously and twisted its body desperately. The vines summoned by the Emerald Crow were broken one by one, and the thick rock arms waved, constantly destroying everything around.

In mid-air, the wings of the Emerald Crow vibrated.

Seeds were scattered towards the hill giant, following the cracks in its body, drilling into the rock and flesh, and then growing wildly, greedily absorbing the energy in the hill giant's body.

"Shadow field!" Enzo's eyes condensed.

The surrounding area was covered by shadows. At the same time, Enzo waved his magic wand and summoned a large number of dark extinguishing fire meteorites, which smashed into the hill giant not far away, causing damage to the hill giant with a huge sound.

However, this level of damage was not enough to end the battle!

"It's a pity that the Sword of Night was taken away by Lucy Leith."

Enzo shook his head. Although he had been promoted to a third-level wizard, he lacked strong offensive magic. He could still use the power of the artifact before, but after the Sword of Night returned to its original owner, the most effective means of attack was only the dark extinguishing fire meteorite.

As for the shadow magic shadow army, it is not suitable for dealing with huge creatures like hill giants. Even if the shadow is condensed into a giant shadow demon, it can only serve as an auxiliary to assist from the side.

As for the other artifact in Enzo's hand.

The mark of the God of Shadows still remained on the shadow disguise, so Enzo could not use its power. Now it was almost useless in his hand.

"Flame of Destruction!"

On the other side, as the Emerald Raven attacked, Hirsch also began to attack. It seemed that he was not suitable for fighting in human form. He turned into a crow and spit out a flame of destruction with killing power from his mouth.

The terrifying flame sprayed out, and the energy intensity exceeded the third-level witchcraft!

After being promoted to a demigod creature, Hirsch also mastered some abilities. This flame of destruction was similar to the prototype of divine arts. The power might not reach the level of the attack of the true god, but it was almost the same.

Boom!

The flame of destruction hit the chest of the hill giant, and suddenly burst out with strong power. The hill giant let out a wail, and the rocks on the body began to collapse. The Emerald Raven Sani also took the opportunity to attack.

Green light floated in the body of the hill giant, plants broke out of the body, large rocks fell from the surface of the hill giant, and the huge body began to fall apart. After the killing crow fired another fire of destruction, it completely turned into a pile of rubble.

"Demigod creatures are not real gods after all!"

Looking at the rocks on the ground, Enzo sighed in his heart. The three demigod creatures joined forces to deal with the hill giant. It was inevitable that they would win. Even if the hill giant was only one divine fire away from becoming a god, it was not a real god after all.

Afterwards, Enzo walked up the mountain.
