Deep in the rift valley, the ice cracks are jagged and the cold wind is as sharp as a knife.
With the help of the complex terrain and Xiao Mu's mimicry ability, Mark and his three companions traveled at high speed among the broken glacier undercurrents, almost crawling and rolling to escape deeper into the rift valley.
The devastating shockwaves from the combined fortress bombardment were still lingering, and heart-pounding groans could still be heard from deep within the ice.
"Hurry up! There's a crack in the ice wall ahead!" Anna's voice was panting.
Her eyesight is the best in the team, and even if the rift valley is filled with cold fog, she can find a way out the fastest.
Enzo panted heavily, clearing the way with his warhammer behind him, his massive body knocking aside the scattered moraine. "Damn it, those people in the Arctic Ice Field are all lunatics. Do they want to blow us to ash too?!"
"Although I'd like to say their target wasn't us... they wanted to completely destroy Torge." Monica's face was equally pale, but her eyes were sharp as an eagle's. "But obviously... they failed, and even helped that monster a great favor."
Mark pursed his lips and increased his speed to the limit without saying a word.
His heart was beating like a war drum, not only because of the physical exhaustion, but also because of an increasingly clear premonition of death.
I don't know if it's the job of the priest or the job of the soul harmonizer that gives him this feeling.
But he dared not ignore the premonition that was so clear that it was almost engraved in his mind that "you are going to die."
Just as they were about to bypass a huge ice spike that stood up like a knife blade.
A soul breath so cold that it pierced through the bone marrow, containing the chaotic divinity and the will of destruction, suddenly descended on the depths of the rift passage not too far in front of them like a spider web of death that spread out in an instant!
The aura was violent, deep, and evil, and was rapidly approaching them at an incredible speed!
"Here they come!" Mark's scalp suddenly tingled, and he screamed, "Torg! He's coming towards us!"
"How is this possible?!" Enzo cried out in shock. He was completely unable to understand how the former patriarch could lock onto and chase him in such a short time after just experiencing a war and being baptized by artillery fire.
The light of identification flashed wildly in Monica's eyes, and her expression suddenly changed:
"Its magic power level... is rapidly increasing! Watch out! It has already entered the extraordinary level! Quickly find cover! It's Enzo! He sensed 'something' on you!"
She instantly determined the core reason.
The Dark Rune Forge Hammer on Enzo's body, which originated from the "Heart of the Star Remains" and came from the bottom of the Fallen Star Lake, was originally a piece of ore containing the power of the God of Darkness.
Most likely, its aura posed a threat to the completely liberated Star Heart!
Being tracked by the 'Heart of Star Remains' is more deadly than the tracking marks of Star Moon and the Dark Church!
The huge oppressive feeling deep in the ice crevasse is just around the corner!
No time to think!
"Disperse!" Mark made a prompt decision and gave the order in a hoarse voice, while at the same time he plunged his body towards a narrow ice crack on the right.
"He is targeting the breath of the God of Darkness on me! Don't come near me!" Enzo also shouted loudly.
Anna didn't hesitate and shot towards a hollow covered with icicles on the left like an arrow.
Monica's figure suddenly merged into the shadow cast by a nearby icy river with swirling cold fog.
Enzo only had time to roar, "Chief!"
He subconsciously wanted to crawl into an ice crevice leading to the underground under Mark's cover, but his short and strong body was far less flexible than his companions in the narrow ice crevice, so he had to lie on a shallow ice crack and restrain his breath.
Boom!
An icefall formed by the meltwater from a huge hanging glacier in front suddenly exploded!
Countless sharp ice cubes shot out in all directions like millions of sharp arrows!
Amidst the flying ice crystal powder, Torge's figure covered with thick dark blue ice armor suddenly appeared!
Its empty eye sockets locked onto the crack in the ice where Enzo was hiding, completely ignoring Monica who had just hidden in the shadows and Mark who was dodging the broken ice.
He just glanced at the ice hanging area where Anna was hiding, and seemed to have no interest in anyone except Enzo.
"The sealer... erase..."
Torge's voice was like the scraping of ten thousand years of ice against each other. With unparalleled will, his huge body was about to burst out and accelerate again, passing through Mark who was blocking the way and rushing straight towards Enzo.
"Don't even think about it!" At this critical moment, Enzo's rock-like face was distorted by extreme tension and complex emotions.
He saw that there was no longer the familiar anger or sadness in Torg's eyes, only complete silence and destruction, and he also saw the cold murderous intent locked on him.
The dwarf warrior's instinct overcame his fear and confusion, and a roar filled with grief, anger, and final hope rang out:
"Torg! Look who I am! A dwarf with a gray beard!"
As he roared, the dark rune forging hammer in his hand burst out with a long-suppressed light, and with the heaviness and toughness unique to the dwarf blood, it suddenly rushed towards Torge!
He tried to use his sturdy body and the impact of his war hammer to prove to his former patriarch that he was not afraid of anything, not even the 'Heart of the Star'.
At the same time, Mark raised his shield and charged from the side of Torge, just meeting Torge's deadly ice-blue eyes.
Torge simply opened his mouth and blew out a stream of cold air at him, freezing him in place!
As for Enzo.
Torge's giant fist, covered with thick blue-ink ice crystals, was casually swinging at a speed and trajectory that Enzo could not see or understand at all.
There was no alarming sound of explosion, and the space in front of the fist seemed to suddenly collapse and solidify.
Bang—crack!
A chillingly crisp cracking sound echoed in the narrow ice crevice.
Enzo's various rare-grade equipment and armors made by himself were like brittle glass crushed by a ten-thousand-ton hydraulic press, and they exploded instantly!
Broken runes and metal fragments mixed with Enzo's groaning blood shot backwards!
The next second, Torge's ice fist penetrated the storm of debris from the forging hammer without any hindrance, and his five fingers covered with thick ice crystals opened like a cage of death.
Precisely and coldly, he grabbed Enzo's throat, whose armor was instantly broken and his body was unbalanced, leaving him wide open!
The burly body of the dwarf warrior was like a chicken with its neck pinched, and was instantly lifted into the air!
The huge impact force threw his body hard against the knife-smooth ice wall on the side!
boom!
A human-shaped pit suddenly appeared on the ice wall, and spider-web-like cracks spread wildly!
Enzo's limbs twitched like puppets with their strings cut, and his larynx creaked under the terrifying force.
The giant hand covered with ice crystals was like the hardest iron clamp, completely strangling all his resistance and voice, and the blood foam caused by suffocation overflowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.
The inhuman face covered with dead blue-ink ice crystals looked down at Enzo's eyes, which were wide open with pain and suffocation.
The star-blue vortex in the eye socket was still spinning coldly, without the slightest fluctuation, without any trace of "Torg".
