Chapter 39 Facing the Fire Giant
The moment his hand was about to touch the sword of light, a nervous voice suddenly came from behind him. Ximu turned his head and saw the dwarf Loli walking over.

There was uncontrollable fear on her face, but she still came to Ximu with the determination to regard death as home.

Faith overcame her fear.

"It's better not to do that. The result of touching the Sword of Light is not to gain powerful power, but to face the will of my god."

She tried to persuade.

"Even if you can pull out that sword, you will definitely be infected by the fire of Surtur and become firewood. You...will die!"

"If I don't pull out this sword, more people will die, right?" Ximu asked with a smile. Looking at the fearful expression of the dwarf Loli, his smile suddenly became gentle, "Little guy, now you have ten minutes. Escape time.”

This... guy seems pretty nice.

The dwarf Loli suddenly came up with this idea. Originally, she thought the Silver Knight was a cold-blooded and ruthless demon, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Willing to risk his life for others.

"Let me tell you in advance, I'm not lying!" She stepped back and looked at the Silver Knight's firm yet gentle smile, unexpectedly feeling a sense of regret.

The man who left her shadow will die here.

The Sword of Light is the weapon of the Fire Giant Surtur, and it itself represents the power of the Fire Giant Surtur.

If you hold the Sword of Light at the altar, you will face the will of the flame giant Surtur, and the consequences will be obvious.

The Silver Knight will be burned to ashes.

"You will die here!" Turning around, the dwarf Loli began to run away. Since this human was determined to seek death, there was no need to stop her.

After the human died, she dug out the Sword of Light and reopened the altar, but the effect was the same.

It is nothing more than delaying the release of the flame giant Surtur.

This world will eventually be burned to ashes by the fire giant Surtur. This is an inevitable outcome, an end that even the omniscient god cannot stop.

Seeing this, Ximu withdrew his gaze and looked at the sword of light on the altar. He fell into a long silence, seeming to be struggling... and missing.

On the edge of the crater, the Witch of Death sat elegantly in the void, her sapphire eyes reflecting everything in the crater. The knight in silver looked tangled and determined, as if he was fearful and nostalgic, but he was also sincere. Inner determination.

After he dies, give him a chance.

With her power, she was able to protect the Silver Knight's soul, and after his body was burned to ashes, he allowed his soul to remain and transform into an undead knight.

Ximu on the altar lowered his head, took a deep breath, and then took out a letter and handed it to the knight beside him, asking him to give it to Leticia.

[The favorability of the host...Death Witch has suddenly increased! 】The system suddenly heard an exclamation, 【Is this a bug? 】

His voice was filled with worry.

[Why does standing in front of the altar increase my favorability, but I didn’t find any problems? 】

Ximu: "..."

He ignored the system and just counted the seconds silently in his mind. His face showed his determination to sacrifice himself for the sake of justice.

However, he did not act too decisively, and showed a trace of nostalgia, mixed with fear, as if he had too much attachment to this world.

But for the sake of justice, he still made the decision to sacrifice himself.

The reason for doing this is to increase the favorability of the Death Witch and trick her into giving him a higher level of death power whenever necessary.

The higher your favorability, the more Death Power features you can unlock.

ten minutes later.

With his hand, he grasped the hilt of the sword of light. The incantation of the blood contract appeared on Ximu's wrist, and his body temperature soared to an unbelievable level in an instant.

The magma beneath my feet began to stir, as if the volcano might erupt at any time, no... it was about to erupt.

According to legend, the magma underground is the blood of the fire giant Surtur. He was sealed in the center of the earth, and the overflowing power dissolved the earth and turned into flowing red blood.

The fire will burst out, but it is only because the fire giant Surtur is trying to break away from the seal of the omniscient god, wanting to regain his freedom, and continue to burn the world to ashes.

However, Ximu is not interested in these background settings. What he wants to do now is to face the fire giant Surtur.

The lava erupted and flooded the altar, as well as Ximu who had drawn the sword of light. As the vision went dark, the scenery changed.

Ximu stood on a huge chain and looked forward. What he saw was a giant with closed eyes. His majestic body transcended the mountains, as if it were a body made of lava and flames, exuding the aura of destruction all the time.

Now he is like a tiny ant, being looked down and observed by humans. There is absolutely no possibility of comparison in size between the two sides.

The flame giant slowly opened his eyes, with red pupils that burned away all madness, and stared at the tiny human in front of him.

Just looking at each other is enough to kill most lives. It contains the crazy will to burn the world, which most lives cannot understand or accept.

This is also the reason why He was chosen to be the agent of Ragnarok, because he is the purest being who wants to burn everything.

And also has this ability.

"I don't feel anything after watching it too much." Ximu sighed boredly. When he first saw the cutscene of the Fire Giant, he felt quite shocked. However, after playing the Ashes route several times, he felt that the Fire Giant Surtur Just feel nothing.

Who would have too many feelings about a boss that he has killed several times? From his perspective, the Fire Giant Surtur is the prerequisite for him to complete the Ashes route.

However, his words seemed to stimulate the flame giant Surtur, and the craziness in his red eyes became more and more intense.

Ximu looked at each other calmly, grinning with a malicious smile: "I am better at burning the world than you."

I don’t know if the game official has some strange misunderstanding on the players. The setting of this cutscene is that the players’ malice towards the world is more pure and surpasses the Fire Giant Surtur, so they can be immune to the Fire Giant Surtur. Ter's madness.

Moreover, by looking at the flame giant Surtur, the existence of Ragnarok in the future will be observed, allowing the player to become the character who caused Ragnarok.

"You see, He is attracted to me." He stretched out his hand, and a ball of flame burst out, which was a symbol of being favored by the gods at Ragnarok.

Fire giant Surtur's eyes turned cold.

"Don't worry, I will come and kill you soon!" Ximu grinned, and in response to his provocation, the flame giant Surtur responded. The monstrous flames flooded everything in the world, and the terrifying high temperature was enough to Evaporate instantly.

In response, Ximu's smile became even worse. The high temperature burned his skin, but it did not burn him to ashes.

Crazy... no, the more malicious you are to this world, the more you will be favored by Ragnarok. The official setting of the game is that the player is the most malicious to this world.

Therefore, the flames containing the power of Ragnarok would not cause any serious harm to him.

"Wait until I come and eat you." In the flames, Ximu said with a smile to the flame giant Surtur, and then the figure disappeared from the place. This is just a spiritual collision, not a real encounter. However, when he levels up later and starts the final process of the Ashes route, he will actually meet the flame giant Surtur.

At that time, the two sides will start fighting to decide who is the one to start Ragnarok. Either the Fire Giant Surtur eats him, or he eats the Fire Giant Surtur.

There is no room for compromise on either side.

reality.

Volcano Temple.

Magma gushes out, the sky is covered with smoke, and the flowing hot magma floods the surrounding area. The entire country of Iris is in danger.

If the volcano really erupts completely, the country of Iris will be destroyed, and no one will survive except a few people.

But things soon took a turn for the better.

Light suddenly erupted, blocking the erupting magma, and the entire volcano was wiped out by the light.

The crisis is resolved.

……

...

after a while.

The Death Witch's knees were together and she was sitting sideways on the stone on the river bank. Her sapphire eyes reflected the surviving knights on the river bank.

She had already assumed that this man would die, but miraculously survived, not only using the power of the sword of light to seal the volcanic eruption.

He also used his last bit of strength to protect himself with the sword of light, and fell from the air into a nearby river, avoiding the most direct injury.

But even with such serious injuries.

"If I were you, I would stay still right now." She suddenly spoke to the knight on the river bank, as coldly as if she had no emotion.

"Instead of wasting your remaining energy, it is better to find ways to relieve your injuries with healing prayers."

"..."

Ximu slowly opened his eyes, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at the Witch of Death with long wavy blue hair and a mysterious and cold temperament on the river bank.

He closed his eyes and began to use healing prayers to relieve his injuries.

"Now you have been infected by the Fire of Surtur and turned into... firewood. Your life span will be very short." The Death Witch spoke slowly, explaining the current situation to the seriously injured knight.

"If you still have memories, it's best to find a way to get rid of your human identity."

"What exactly is the Fire of Surtur?" Ximu asked in a weak voice, as if he was not familiar with Surtur.

In this regard, the Death Witch unexpectedly patiently explained: "It is the power of the flame giant Surtur and the embodiment of Ragnarok."

Speaking of this, she seemed to have predicted Ximu's question.

"Ragnarok is an inevitable existence in the endless and distant future. It represents the death of the world, the death of the gods, and the end of everything."

"Ragnarok is neither an individual nor a group. It is the inevitability of fate. Just like when there is a beginning, there must be an end."

"Being entangled in the Fire of Surtur, you will gradually feel the will of dusk contained in the Fire of Surtur, and gradually become a madman who wants to destroy the world, and this process is irreversible."

"..."

Ximu stopped healing himself and barely supported his body, while the river flowed down his body.

The Witch of Death turned her head slightly when she saw this. This man was still naked. She was not interested in this man's nakedness.

Ximu didn't seem to notice. He handed the sword of light in his hand to the Death Witch and said, "Please give the sword of light to a friend of mine."

The Witch of Death did not take the sword of light and asked: "Human, do you want to kill yourself now?"

Ximu didn't answer.

Of course he didn't want to die, and he was not infected by the Fire of Surtur. He only looked like he was infected because he received the blessing of Ragnarok.

That's completely different.

"Actually, it's not impossible to suppress the Fire of Surtur." The Witch of Death took out a piece of paper and handed it to Ximu.

"This is a way to suppress Surtur's fire." After saying this, she turned into a blue will-o'-the-wisp, floating in the air.

Ximu lowered his head and glanced at the content on the paper. As expected, it was about making a golden needle to suppress the Fire of Surtur.

The effect is that when players use Surtur's Fire, they can slow down blood loss and mana loss, and strengthen mental protection.

However, in addition to mental protection, the effect of slowing down blood loss and mana loss is only for the Fire of Surtur.

"It's time to upgrade the equipment." He rolled up the paper, sat on a stone by the river, and started to use healing prayer.

The plot in the Kingdom of Iris is basically over. It originally progressed according to the normal plot route. After about four or five months, the dwarves who tried to unlock the Sword of Light found in despair that relying on the fire of Surtur to burn, There is simply no way to unblock it.

Later, I learned through Ashelia's dictation that the seal can be bypassed through the blood contract. As long as you find a person with an upright heart and favored by the gods, you can use the sword of light to cut open the flame giant Surtur. seal.

And if the players at that time only help Leticia regain the country, they will attract the attention of the dwarves and be considered by the dwarves as an "upright" and "favored by the gods" knight.

After going through a series of trials and battles, the red-haired dwarf will capture Leticia and force the player to use the Sword of Light to unseal Surtur.

If the player agrees, Leticia will pour out her feelings to the player in front of the altar, make an affectionate confession, and then commit suicide in front of the player.

If the player would rather die than surrender, the red-haired dwarf will secretly ask the player to sign a blood contract with Ashlia and promise to let Leticia go.

At this time, players can choose to pull out the Sword of Light and trigger the Ashes ending.

There is no need to elaborate on the subsequent plot, which is nothing more than the player and the red-haired dwarf leaving, leaving the desperate Leticia to govern the country alone.

When Letitia is seen later, the player is already the triggerer of Ragnarok, and the positions of the two sides have been reversed.

If the player kills Leticia at that time, they can see Leticia apologize to the player and... die in regret.

Of course, you can also choose to ignore it. Anyway, Leticia is insignificant in the later stage.
