Chapter 173 Cryogenic Fate

The moment this war hammer flew out, the force it contained was extremely terrifying, so Roy and Julia both subconsciously made defensive stances.

Turning his head, Roy looked at the big hole smashed by the war hammer and heard the screams of many demons dying on the other side of the wall, as though someone was slaughtering these low-level demons wantonly.

A moment later, the screams came to a stop. Roy immediately understood that the chasing demons were all dead.

Boom! Boom! Heavy footsteps came. At the entrance of the hole opened by the war hammer, a burly… stocky figure appeared. When she saw this figure, Julia’s pupils could not help but shrink as she subconsciously shouted, “Ulthane?! It’s you?!”

A short and stout man appeared in front of Roy and Julia. He had a pair of incomparably thick and solid arms, and explosive muscles covered his entire body. On his flat-topped head, only his temples had hair flying back, and he had a full beard and a resolute expression. After hearing Julia’s voice, the burly man glanced at Julia. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the war hammer that was deeply embedded into the ground.

With cracking sounds, the ground cracked open like a spiderweb as he pulled the war hammer up. The weight of the hammer was unimaginable.

However, Ulthane easily held this war hammer in his hand. After swinging it in a circle, the blood and minced meat of the demons on it were flung away. Only then did Ulthane place it on his shoulder.

After doing this, Ulthane opened his mouth and said with a deep voice, “Fallen angel, do you know me?”

“Of course, who hasn’t heard of your name, ‘Black Hammer’ Ulthane of the makers?” Julia’s expression was very serious. She held her sword tightly and asked, “Why has someone of an ancient race like you come to the human world? Don’t the makers never intervene in the war between angels and demons?”

Ulthane did not speak and slowly walked forward while carrying his war hammer. Seeing this, Julia became increasingly nervous and subconsciously moved closer to Roy.

Although Roy remained calm on the surface, he was actually gathering magic power.

When Julia mentioned the makers, Roy immediately recalled that there was indeed such an ancient race in the Darksiders world. How ancient was this race? Their history predated even the appearance of the Charred Council!

The maker race was a born artisan race. They were very similar to the so-called dwarfs, but in fact, they were even stronger than the dwarfs. There seemed to be very few of this race, but every one of them was an extremely powerful warrior. It was obvious from Julia’s nervousness.

Now that the ‘Black Hammer’ Ulthane appeared and killed a large number of demons, Roy could not help but be wary. He was a very strong enemy. Before figuring out his intentions, he had to be prepared to fight.

Ulthane ignored Julia’s question. Instead, he stood not far away from them and turned to look at Roy. After sizing him up for a while, he said, “I’m Black Hammer Ulthane. Demon, who are you?”

“My name is Osiris!” Roy replied expressionlessly.

“I hate you!” Ulthane immediately said straightforwardly. “You’re exuding a cold aura, and the makers hate anything that can lower the temperature!”

“Oh, really?” Roy mocked, “Don’t tell me that you use magma for cooling and quenching when forging?”

“…” Ulthane choked at Roy’s words but then shook his head. “It seems like you’re also a cunning demon. I won’t argue with you. The war between angels and demons has nothing to do with me. But if you want to pa.s.s through here, you’ll have to first ask if my hammer agrees!”

With that, he moved the war hammer off his shoulder and held it horizontally in front of him.

“Huh?!” Roy was slightly stunned for a moment before asking with a subtle expression on his face, “You want to stop me? Do you know what I want to do?”

“Of course, I know!” Ulthane’s nostrils spewed out two rough streams of air as he said in disdain, “Aren’t you just trying to plunder the human souls in this facility? I don’t believe that you won’t be tempted by so many souls!”

“No, no, no!” Roy stretched out a finger and shook it. “You’ve guessed completely wrong. In fact, I’m just lost!”

“Do you think I’ll believe that, demon?!” Ulthane snorted.

“Of course not!” Roy spread his hands. “Your tone of voice means that you were already planning to fight, right?!”

“That’s right!” Ulthane suddenly roared and swung his heavy hammer at Roy!

Roy stretched out his hand and quickly condensed a black ice wall in front of him. At the same time, he grabbed Julia with his other hand to stop her from rus.h.i.+ng out.

With a loud bang, Ulthane’s hammer smashed fiercely against the ice wall. The ice wall containing the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit had a strong resistance to physical attacks, but it broke from Ulthane’s attack!

The moment of contact, cracks covered the ice wall, and in a few milliseconds, it shattered into countless black ice crystals.

But Ulthane’s hammer continued to maintain its indomitable momentum as it swung toward Roy behind the ice wall!

However, even though it only blocked Ulthane’s hammer for a moment, it was enough for Roy. He held Julia’s hand, flashed, and appeared behind Ulthane.

Facing a warrior with super strength, Roy was not stupid enough to take out Frostmourne to fight him head-on. Ulthane was from the so-called maker race, and just by thinking about the hammer in his hand, he could tell that it was definitely made of an indestructible material. Although Roy had created Frostmourne using the system, its essential material was only the demon iron that was commonly seen in the Abyss. Ulthane’s hammer might even break it in a single blow.

Facing an enemy like Ulthane, Roy reckoned that even using Bloodl.u.s.t, he might not be able to win in terms of strength. And needless to say, Julia was not good at dealing with strength-type opponents…

Therefore, Roy chose to avoid immediately. At the same time that he appeared behind Ulthane, he flew up with Julia.

Although he could not fly too high in the s.p.a.ce here, it was bullying Ulthane, who did not have wings. In midair, Roy pointed at the remaining low-level demons. “Go!”

The low-level demons would absolutely obey the orders of a high-rank demon like Roy. Moreover, demons were like this. They had no fear and only fought fanatically, so after Roy gave the order, the remaining low-level demons howled and pounced at Utan.

“d.a.m.n it! Get lost!” Ulthane let out a deafening roar as he swung his war hammer and started fighting the low-level demons.

Roy said to Julia, “Check the path ahead and wait for me. Leave this guy to me!”

“There’s no need to become entangled with him!” Julia shook her head in disagreement. “Ulthane is strong, very strong. Even some demon lords are unwilling to provoke him. Let the low-level demons hold him back, and we can quickly leave.”

“It doesn’t matter. This narrow s.p.a.ce is the best battlefield for me!” Roy said. “It will take some time to move the things I want. It won’t be good if I let him disrupt me. It’s best if I make him know how powerful I am.”

Hearing Roy say this, Julia could only nod. She did not say anything else and turne around to fly forward.

In just a few words, Ultane had almost killed all the low-level demons. Low-level demons were ultimately low-level demons, and under Ulthane’s hands, they would die from a mere touch. They could not even bring Ulthane the slightest resistance. All they could do was pounce on him ferociously, and then… turn into a rain of blood!

After killing all the low-level demons, Ulthane turned around and looked at Roy, who was floating in the air behind him. Without another word, he threw his war hammer!

The war hammer flew forward with a loud whistling sound. Its speed was exceptionally fast, and Roy did not have much time to dodge. Moreover, there was an intense gust of wind around the war hammer. Once he did not have enough s.p.a.ce to evade, he would probably suffer a lot of damage, so Roy did not think much about it as he flashed and disappeared.

Boom! The war hammer hit the concrete layer at the top of the pa.s.sage and blasted a huge pit.

Roy reappeared and smiled at Ulthane. “Can you take back your weapon now?”

“Why not?” Ulthane replied. He stretched his hand toward the war hammer in the distance, and the hammer shook while falling loose and then flew back into Ulthane’s hand.

Ulthane said proudly, “Demon, don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you can fly. You can continue flying, but once I hit you, your body will be crushed!”

“Wow!” Roy clapped his hands and praised. “Speaking of which, do you have a relative named Thor? Often shouts ‘For the glory of Asgard’ or something like that…”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Ulthane did not understand Roy’s words. He swung his hand and threw the hammer. Roy dodged again. “Okay, let’s fight. But how about you trying my new ability this time?”

With that, Frostmourne appeared in Roy’s right hand, and he raised his left hand. The next second, a blue light shone down and enveloped his entire body. “Cryogenic Fate!”
