For it, strangling Enzo was like brushing off a speck of dust. Its eyes were only fixed on the rune forging hammer in Enzo's hand.
As long as we destroy this thing, there will probably be nothing in this world that can seal it!
Torge's eyes, swirling with star-blue vortices, were close at hand, filled with endless hatred for the dark rune forging hammer, completely ignoring Enzo's pain and anger.
"Chief..." Enzo was on the verge of losing consciousness and tried to scream with his last bit of strength, but he only spat out a mouthful of hot blood foam which splashed on Torge's ice crystal gauntlet and instantly froze into scarlet ice flowers.
Mark's heart almost jumped out of his chest!
The blood in his body was frozen for half a second as if by the extreme cold sprayed by Torge, but the extraordinary resistance brought by the colorful black light magic and the strong willpower allowed him to break free from the shackles of ice in an instant.
His body still felt stiff, but adrenaline and divine energy mixed with anger suddenly burst out!
He was closest to Enzo, and Torge's huge ice crystal palm was like an iron torture device that clasped Enzo's throat. The dwarf's strong body was as fragile as a child in its hand.
Mark could even hear the screams of Enzo's bones under the heavy pressure!
"Let him go!" Mark's roar was hoarse as if his throat was cut by ice, but the anger in it was as real as substance.
“Buzz!”
Without a trace of hesitation, the cross emblem in Mark's hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling golden light, reflecting the surrounding ice crystals like a prism!
He poured all his magical power into the [Holy Judgment] to blast apart the hand that was strangling life!
Torge completely ignored Mark's roar, his empty eyes fixed on the dark rune forging hammer in Enzo's other hand, which was struggling dimly due to its owner's dying.
Its icy giant palm suddenly increased its strength, trying to completely wipe out the "lock" that threatened the origin of its existence, along with its holder!
Just as the light of [Holy Judgment] was about to touch Torg's giant ice crystal arm.
“Tear!”
An inky black afterimage, like a poisonous snake emerging from a broken mirror, suddenly shot out from a twisted ice shadow behind Torge!
Monica!
She had been waiting, and at the moment when Torge's attention was completely focused on Enzo and the forging hammer, she launched a fatal blow like the most deadly cheetah.
She pointed directly at the elbow joint behind the ice crystal armor on Torge's left arm!
There, just a few minutes ago, the claws of the Dark Angel's pure dark divinity had torn it apart, leaving a deep crack.
Torge's powerful self-healing ability is driving the starlight and the dark divinity of the abyss to reconcile there, but the repair is obviously not yet completely completed.
Monica's dagger was infused with all her shadow magic power, and with a sharp scream of cutting through space, it pierced fiercely into the deep crack that had not yet been healed!
The demon-breaking runes flowing on the blade were instantly activated, like the finest file, fiercely scraping the blue-ink divine energy that was violently flowing and repairing inside!
“Keng—chi chi chi—!”
The harsh sound of metal scraping against metal and the sound of violent energy collision and annihilation mixed together and exploded!
There was a slight pause in Torg's huge body!
That wasn't a stagnation caused by actual damage, but more like a brief interruption caused by a sharp grain of sand suddenly getting stuck in the gap between the gears of the precision-operating mechanical core!
The huge force that was strangling Enzo was delayed by a thousandth of a second!
It was at this moment.
"call out--!!"
A streak of emerald green light, like a spring thunder that breaks through the cold winter, tears through the flying ice chips and shoots with incredible precision towards the only place on Torge's frozen face that can be called "vulnerable".
That left eye socket burning with a star-blue vortex!
Anna!
She had been lurking behind the ice, the elven bowstring in her hand still trembling, and her pupils reflected a light as calm as an ice lake.
When Mark burst out with holy light and Monica showed up to assassinate him, and Torge's movements paused for a very small moment, she locked onto this fleeting and fatal opportunity!
“Puff—pop!”
A dull yet strange sound.
The giant hand that was strangling Enzo's throat finally loosened under this series of continuous blows.
Enzo's sturdy body fell heavily on the snow covered with sharp ice cubes like a loose bullet!
The cold air suddenly rushed into his lungs, and he coughed violently with blood foam spurting out, but his eyes instantly burst into a wild light because of his desire to survive!
He didn't have time to see the situation clearly, his body's reaction far exceeded his thinking!
At the same moment his body fell, the dwarf warrior's instinct drove his blood-stained hands to try his best to grab the dark rune forging hammer that was almost slipping from his hands!
The dim runes on the hammer head seemed to be activated by the owner's dying will, and suddenly a light of resistance and coercion appeared!
Then, like a rock that bounces back after being compressed to its limit, Enzo used the force of the recoil from the fall and used up his last bit of strength to swing the forging hammer in his hand upwards!
The target was not Torge's head, but the one that had strangled his throat, burned by Mark's holy light, pierced his joints by Monica, and widened the crack by Monica!
"Bang—crack!"
The dark rune forging hammer, carrying the dwarf's unyielding anger and the original divine power from the God of Darkness, smashed into the center of the crack in Torge's left elbow joint!
The cracks spread wildly like a spider web in an instant!
Torge's huge ice crystal body also trembled violently!
It was as if an invisible lightning bolt struck the moving ice abyss.
The pair of madly spinning star-blue vortex eyes suddenly froze, and then began to tremble violently.
The destructive force from the crampons was like being tightened by invisible chains, and instantly stagnated just an inch in front of Enzo's throat.
"...En...Zo..."
From Torge's throat, which was covered with thick ice, he struggled to rub out a few hoarse and broken syllables, which contained a hint of tearing pain.
It was no longer the dead humming of the Star Heart, but had the rough texture of "Torg Greybeard".
The huge ice claws that gripped Enzo once again loosened up extremely stiffly but resolutely!
At the same time, a gentle but irresistible force surged from Torge, pushing the dying Enzo towards Mark's team.
“…Let’s go…let’s go…!”
Torge seemed to be using up all his willpower to fight against the roaring cold torrent in his body.
The face covered with ice crystals was twisted in pain, and the voice was hoarse like a trapped beast crying blood.
"...Leave Frost Valley!...Quick!"
Mark's mind cleared up instantly. He really didn't expect that Torge, who was possessed by the "Heart of Star Debris", would still be conscious.
But the instinct of survival overwhelmed everything, and even if he wanted to save Torge, he didn't have the ability to do so.
He almost relied on muscle memory to pounce out like lightning and catch Enzo's broken body that was pushed towards him. It was cold to the touch and his breath was weak.
