The Death Knell

The surrounding ground turned into magma, the grass and trees that fell into the pool instantly turned to ashes, and the air was filled with a burning smell.

Some small animals hurriedly emerged from their hiding caves and ran in different directions in terror. Whether they are rats or snakes, the former enemies are now running for their lives together.

However, not all animals are so lucky, and some are not lucky enough.

Su Ming saw an animal that looked like a raccoon and tried to escape by hiding in a tree, but the roots of the tree were engulfed by lava and the tree fell over.

It fell into the fire pit and let out a scream instantly. What happened next was very horrifying.

The gray and white fur turned into a ball of fire. The next second there was a burning smell, and the next second the whole animal turned into a puddle of black ash.

Su Ming: "At a temperature of about 3,000 degrees Celsius, carbon-based organisms will be vaporized instantly."

"This is the power of Surtur. It is likely that this planet has been changed from the inside. My magic cannot fight against a hell lord."

Monaco explained to Su Ming that many people would also borrow power from Surtur when using fire-based abilities. Fire giants are a source of magical flames and are far more powerful than ordinary mages.

"Stay far away and set up a magic circle to resist the high temperature and burning." Su Ming motioned for the two of them to retreat, and he levitated to follow them.

No matter what abilities he shows, he doesn't have to worry about being seen by Heimdall. Odin is the almighty god.

Monaco took a deep breath and without saying anything else, he rode his horse for one kilometer, then dismounted and started to arrange the magic circle on the ground.

"Don't look for the Ice Demon God Exelon, just use the power of Emperor Weishan to transfer the extreme cold and vacuum in the universe here." Su Ming added.

Although he couldn't cast a single spell himself, he still had theoretical knowledge.

The price of Exelon's black magic was too high, and Su Ming didn't want Monaco to be trapped in an extremely cold hell frozen in time for thousands of years, tortured by the devil and turned into a madman.

If you can use white magic, it is better to use white magic to solve it.

"The size of the lava is so big that I can't afford the price," Monaco responded.

The preparations for the magic circle were completed quickly. Monaco directly used blood to draw complex runes and marks on the grass. However, when he put his hand on it and prepared to recite the spell, his face couldn't help but look ugly.

Su Ming thought for a short moment. Vanaheim was useful. There was no need for two flame worlds in the Nine Realms.

Once something happens to Vanaheim, the agreement between Gullweger and Su Ming will have no basis, and the benefits of the previous reservation will be gone.

"The price is transferred to me and I pay with my life."

He made his decision immediately.

"Life span? You might die directly." Sweat fell from Monaco's head.

"Let's see if Emperor Weishan agrees to the deal. I have plenty of lifespan." Su Ming landed next to the God of Law with certainty, took off his gloves, and slashed his arm.

The blood flowed out and merged into the magic circle, which emitted a faint white light.

"Are you really sure?"

"Don't be nagging, just do it."

Monaco blew out a breath and watched the red line in the distance getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision. He grabbed Su Ming's hand and pressed it on the magic circle together, and began to recite the spell quickly.

The incantation was surprisingly long, and not a single syllable was intelligible.

"Emperor Weishan has accepted the price and is about to begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ming felt something invisible being pulled out of his body and dissipated in the surrounding air.

However, the magic circle in front of him became brighter and brighter, and the white light emitted became more and more dazzling.

It was growing and expanding at an extremely high speed, spreading towards the direction of the flames.

Su Ming activated the X metal in his body, and the aging of his appearance stopped instantly, and he began to restore his lifespan. But Monaco was obviously also affected, and his temples began to turn gray.

"The spread of lava has stopped." Gin flew higher on her horse so that she could see farther: "Their surfaces are frozen."

Su Ming had no way to answer Gin Jiu's words. Although he was conscious, he felt like a straw was stuck in his belly. He felt like his soul was being sucked away, making him unable to even open his mouth.

The same goes for Monaco. He was unable to speak at this time. As a spell caster, even if the price was transferred, he himself could not completely avoid being affected by the magic.

Ten minutes later, Gin received good news again. The expansion of the entire lava pool had stopped, and the magic confrontation was successful.

At this time, the lava has completely cooled and turned into a black rock. Looking from the sky, it is a black basin.

Monaco pulled away his arm and sat down on the ground to catch his breath.

"You have been robbed of 500 years of life, but you don't look old at all. I finally understand why Master Gu Yi chose you."

"I can't use a single magic. Unless I give Emperor Weishan a telegraph machine, otherwise I don't know how to contact him." Su Ming was also breathing heavily. After paying the price for the first time, he felt a little uncomfortable. Adaptation: "How are you doing?"

"It's nothing to lose five years of life. I have lived for hundreds of years, and five years is just a few days." Monaco smiled pretending to be relaxed. He closed his eyes slightly, lowered his head and panted.

Su Ming patted his shoulder, stood up, touched his belly to make sure there was no thick straw stuck in it, and then looked at the lava pool in the distance.

Now there is smoke in every direction, and the fierce collision of heat and cold air has caused thick fog to form all around.

Fortunately, Emperor Weishan's power stabilized Surtur's end, and the Fire Demon could only return in vain. Before he could think of new methods, Vanahem was safe.

"When the company's new hair dye comes on the market, I'll give you some." Gin landed next to them.

"No, that's fine." Monaco straightened his temples, touched his beard and then his face: "It's just a few strands of gray hair. He looks more authoritative now, doesn't he?"

Su Ming took off a drop of metal from the Night Sword and gave it to the mage to try, but this metal could not restore the lifespan of Marvel characters.

Due to the limitations of x metal, Su Ming had no choice but to look back and see if he could get the 'Fruit of Youth'.

It is the source of the life span of the gods in the fairy palace. Qitong, the mother of the gods, is the goddess of youth. She has a basket that can bring out endless fruits. Eating it can extend people's life.

Although it is not extended indefinitely, a few thousand years is enough for human beings.

Unless you're like Odin and you're running out of money, or you're in debt like Ancient One, then it won't work.

Su Ming stretched out his hand and pulled the mage to mount first: "If you want authority, then you should shave off all your hair."

Monaco recalled the appearance of Ancient One and shrugged: "Stop telling cold jokes and continue looking for Hydra. Why does Surtur have to intervene here? Will he meet Seratok again soon? ?”

"Except for the earth, all the nine realms are now in chaos. The underworld and Vanaheim are temporarily stabilized by me, but we need to move faster."

Pegasus flew over the frozen lava pool, and Su Ming answered to the mage behind him, but the surrounding fog was too thick and Monaco couldn't see his expression clearly.

Listening to Deathstroke telling him what happened, Monaco was confused and didn't know how to interrupt.

Mephisto was only temporarily held back, and he still didn't know who the hell lord's ally was.

Laufey is likely to break the pot and declare war with Asgard again.

Now there are not only soldiers in the fairy palace, but also light elves who have lost their homes. Those guys look like large goblins.

The big snake is still watching covetously somewhere, without showing any trace.

"Should we deal with Zemo first?" After thinking for a long time, Monaco gave up thinking and let Deathstroke make the decision. The last time he acted, he had proven the reliability of his plan.

"Deal with Zemo first." Su Ming repeated the question with certainty: "After he obtains power, he must intend to return to Earth to use it, and he poses the greatest threat to us."

While saying this, Strangler secretly wrote on the mage's leg.

Su Ming told him a priority.

The first is the Earth, which must be protected, followed by the Golden Palace, where the treasures and several key figures must be protected, and then Vanaheim, which is related to future plans.

In addition to these three locations, Su Ming didn't care if other places were turned into cosmic dust.

From the perspective of these three goals, it is easier to analyze. Anyone who has ideas about these places is the enemy.

Whoever has a higher threat value and exposes more traces will be dealt with first.

Of course, Su Ming vaguely felt that there was someone behind the scenes who was always lurking, so he could just keep an eye on it secretly.

But before they could fly far, countless red magic arrays suddenly bloomed on the ground below, followed by dense fireballs that shot up into the sky like fire rain.

"Enemy attack! Fire demons, number...more than 100,000."

Pegasus dived to avoid countless fireballs shot at it, but in the next second, more fireballs quickly rose from the ground.

Su Ming judged the situation in just a moment. It seemed that Surtur was unwilling to give in and planned to use primitive means to spread the flames.

He himself does not have the ability to teleport. He must have reached an agreement with someone and directly teleported the army to Vanaheim.

Pegasus is very flexible and experienced in many battles. No matter how dense the flying fireballs are, it seems to be able to pass through the narrow ballistic gap.

But as the demons continued to pour out of the magic circle, the density of the fireballs became higher and higher. It was almost unable to move forward and could only keep dodging up and down.

"This won't work. I'll go down to deal with the demons and give you a chance to meet up in the capital of Vanaheim."

After saying that, Su Ming jumped off the horse without waiting for Gin and Master to express their opinions.

The cloak pushed him towards the ground at high speed, and the dense demons filled his field of vision. The distance was getting closer and closer, and he could see the brains of these guys.

They have red skin and walk upright, but their heads are a burning iron cage. The flame seems to be their brains and lives. One hand is a fireball, and the other hand is a variety of burning weapons.

This kind of monster can only be seen in hell.

"God-killer, sir!"

The God Killer who transformed into the Eternal Spear suddenly stretched more than ten times from its original length of two meters. Su Ming took out the Night Sword from his bag and held it in the other hand.

He plunged headlong into the enemy group.

Because the temperature in the enemy group was too high, strangulation could hardly help. Su Ming could only rely on the speed of his cloak to fight.

However, his purpose was not to kill many enemies, but to delay and penetrate the enemy formation, giving Gin and the others in the sky a chance to pass.

With a single glance, the surrounding environment instantly appeared in his mind. Each enemy's movements and intentions, location and terrain were all clear.

The plan was formed instantly, and the two weapons were swung even faster.

The spear swings open the road in front of him, and the giant sword serves as close defense. When the enemy attacks behind him, he uses the giant sword to block counterattacks. Whenever there is an opening, he quickly moves forward.

Wherever the golden light and black light shone, stumps and broken arms were flying all over the sky. The pace of the death knell was always so steady that no one could stop it. The screams of the demons and the sizzling sound of blood and water touching the fire kept hitting the eardrums, but Su Ming's expression did not change at all.

Moving forward, moving forward, pushing aside the flames and sharp blades, he moved quickly through the dense crowd.
