Chapter 604: Yama and the Pale Beast

The loud noise and violent scene instantly made the Moria Mines seem to have pressed the pause button.

The goblins had never expected that their powerful king could be killed so easily by humans, and fear and confusion flashed in their eyes.

The dwarves were amazed at Mike's strength:
"No one has ever told me that humans can possess this kind of power..."

"Does this count? Mike saved us again..."

"..."

The dwarves on the climbing frame looked at Mike with a hint of admiration and surprise at having survived a disaster.

Only Thorin frowned and looked serious.

He realized that this human really had the ability to steal the treasures of Lonely Mountain.

"What are you standing there for? Come down quickly!!!" Mike shouted to the dwarves who were in a daze on the climbing frame.

With absolute strength as a guarantee, it is obviously much more convenient to exit from the main entrance of the mine than to escape from the path above.

So, with Michael's shouting, Gandalf led the dwarves and slid down along the slope of the climbing frame.

"Kill, kill them!!! Revenge for the king~"

"Kill!!! We can't let them get away~"

"..."

At this time, after a brief shock, the goblins saw the dwarves trying to escape and chased after them like crazy.

A single goblin might be weak, but the number of tens of thousands of them gave them courage and illusion.

Besides, the Goblin King is dead, and who wouldn’t want to take the throne and become the next Goblin King?

Although the idea was wonderful, they seriously underestimated Mike's strength.

Mike wielded the Holy Sword of Fire again and summoned several giant flaming dragons.

These giant dragons, with holy white flames burning all over their bodies, burned the goblin who first shouted "Resistance" into ashes as soon as they appeared.

Then, as the fire dragon roamed in the mine, countless goblins caught fire along with the wooden climbing frames.

Amid screams and wails, the Moria Mine suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

After the dwarves in the adventure team safely arrived at Mike's side, they looked back at the hellish scene behind them, and everyone had a look of shock on their faces.

Water and fire are merciless. In the face of this natural disaster-like power, no one dares to say that they are not afraid.

……

"Oh no, get out of here quickly!!! The monster has awakened~"

Just at this moment, a faint vibration sound came from the ground, and then the vibration sound became stronger and stronger, almost drowning out the screams of the goblins.

It seemed as if a huge monster was approaching.

Gandalf realized that the situation was not good and his face changed drastically. He then called on the adventure team to escape to the exit of the mine.

There are rich mineral resources underground in Moria, and it was originally the first home of the dwarves in Middle-earth.

As a result, the dwarf ancestors dug up the underground magma without restraint, which awakened the Yama who was sleeping underground.

This dark creature, as powerful as the Maia, subsequently drove the greedy Dwarven ancestors out of Moria.

As for the dwarves' later migration to Lonely Mountain, that is a story for later.

Now, perhaps inspired by Mike's fire ability, this giant beast sleeping underground has been awakened again.

As the ground shook, the stone walls of the mine were violently shattered, and a lava monster over a hundred feet tall and with horns on its head finally revealed its full appearance.

"Is this the monster our ancestors encountered?"

"How can such a monster exist in the world..."

"..."

The dwarves were about to escape to the exit of the mine, but when they heard the huge noise behind them, some of them couldn't help but turn their heads.

Then he was so scared that his legs went weak, and the escape exit right in front of him suddenly seemed to become extremely long.

"Don't stop, keep running!!!"

Gandalf turned around and urged the dwarves, but it was of little use to the dwarves who were already frightened.

Although Yama is about the same size as the Rock Giant, his body is covered with burning magma and he is more agile than the Rock Giant.

He took a few steps and approached the dwarf team. The lava whip made of magma in his hand swept towards the dwarves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gandalf raised his wand to delay some time so that the dwarves could leave.

"You guys go first, I'll go meet him~"

However, there are people who are faster than the wizard.

Mike entered the serious mode, with platinum-colored light armor manifested on his body. He took a step forward and used the flaming holy sword in his hand to cut off Yama's lava whip.

"Let's go now!" Seeing that Michael had resisted Yama, Gandalf anxiously urged the dwarves again.

The dwarves, who had escaped death once again, seemed to have woken up from a nightmare and their bodies gradually regained consciousness.

Then, with the help of the wizard, the dwarves quickly escaped from the Mines of Moria. During the whole process, the dwarves did not dare to look back.

"How did our ancestors survive from that monster..."

"I don't know if Mr. Mike can be its opponent..."

"It should be fine!!!"

"..."

After they had left the mine for a long distance, the dwarves in the adventure team finally stopped, exhausted.

Seeing the huge noise behind them that seemed to be about to overturn the roof of the mine, the dwarves began to worry about Mike's safety.

They all looked at Gandalf, as if wanting an answer.

"Mike's ability is stronger than we thought. If we just want to get rid of Yama, there shouldn't be any problem." Gandalf gave a positive answer.

Seeing that he spoke with confidence, the dwarves felt relieved and sat down on the ground to rest.

There was no way. What had just happened was too much for the dwarves, and it consumed their physical and mental strength.

"I noticed before that you came here with that human. So, are you going to give up on the dwarves too?" While his companions were not paying attention, Thorin, who was hiding something on his mind, approached Gandalf.

After seeing Michael's strength, this descendant of the Durin dwarf royal family was no longer so confident about taking back the Lonely Mountain.

He regards the wizard, who also possesses magical powers, as his last "lifeline".

"No, my goal has always been to help the dwarves retake the Lonely Mountain. As for coming with Michael, it was because he was going to the Gondor defense line, so it was just right for him to go along the way." Gandalf explained and comforted Thorin.

"That means we will go our separate ways." Thorin's eyes flickered with a hint of joy, and then he continued, "And you also said that the human will not be in danger. In this case, I plan to take my companions and set off for the Lonely Mountain immediately. After all, as Durin's Day approaches, we dwarves don't have much time left."

Then, without waiting for the wizard to answer, Thorin went to call the dwarves and prepared to leave.

"Are we not waiting for Mr. Mike? I was planning to thank him. He saved us at least twice..."

"Are we just going to leave like this?..."

"..."

Although dwarves are rude, they value their friends very much.

After this period of contact, Mike can barely be considered a friend of the dwarves.

Because of this, the dwarves couldn't understand why Thorin wanted to take his men away while Michael was still fighting in the rear.

"Durin's Day is approaching, and we must hurry to the Lonely Mountain. And Gandalf has promised that the human will not be in danger." Thorin's face turned serious.

Given this situation, even though the dwarves had some complaints in their hearts, they all got ready to set off.

"Wait a minute, besides Michael, we seem to be missing one person." At this moment, Gandalf looked at Thorin meaningfully, and then told everyone about his discovery.

"Kili, Fili, Gloin... 1, 2, 3... people in total are here. Who are we missing?..."

"..."

After hearing what Gandalf said, the dwarves counted each other's heads, and no matter how they counted, the number of people seemed to be exactly the same.

"It's Bilbo, our Mr. Snitch is missing." Qili suddenly spoke, causing everyone to react.

"The situation was so critical just now. Did he get left behind? Should we go back to find him?" Philip then suggested.

It can be seen that after the incident of stealing the elves' food in Rivendell, Bilbo's relationship with the dwarves became visibly more harmonious.

"No, I've long seen that the timid Hobbit is not suitable for this adventure. Perhaps he is taking this opportunity to return to the Shire that he longs for." Thorin obviously would not stop for an outsider, "So, we don't have to worry about him and continue as planned."

Although Thorin was right, the dwarves still felt that something was wrong.

It was just that I was under pressure and didn't bring it up.

"I believe Bilbo. Since he promised you to go to Lonely Mountain, he will definitely come." This time Gandalf did not follow Thorin. Instead, he rolled a pot of dry tobacco and sat on the rock next to him.

Use actions to show your attitude.

For a moment, even if Thorin was unwilling, he had to stop and wait for people.

But the atmosphere at the scene was extremely bad.

[Malta Power (Attribute)]... [Flame Armor (Attribute)]...

[Lava*Energy+1000w]...

On the other hand, Baizhang Yama’s abilities are indeed not bad, and his energy is actually comparable to that of the most powerful white-robed wizard Saruman.

Mike, whose body was also wrapped in the holy white flame, used the power of fire to play with it for a while, and felt that it was time to end this battle.

So, Mike put away the Holy Sword of Fire, and then used the power of the Ring of Water to summon water spirits. In an instant, countless water vapors from the underground lakes of Moria and the jungle outside gathered towards the direction of the mine.

Finally, it turned into a huge waterfall and rushed towards Yama.

Whether water overcomes fire or fire overcomes water depends on the quantity.

Mike, who possesses divine power, chose the simplest method to deal with Yama.

After the waves, a large amount of water vapor rose from Yan Mo's body, and then the water vapor condensed into water waves again, over and over again...

As the magma on Yama's body cooled, its movements gradually became slower, and the two flames in its eyes flickered and could go out at any time.

"Moo~"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yama shouted angrily and then stepped on the waves to escape towards the lava pit where he came from before.

"You want to run? It's not that easy!!"

The water flow transformed into a water dragon, carrying Mike and chasing after Yama.

In an instant, the two of them disappeared into the big hole on the stone wall of the Moria Mine.

On the side, by the lake at the bottom of the mine, Bilbo, who accidentally picked up Gollum's ring, saw all of this.

Bilbo relied on the invisibility function of the One Ring in his hand to avoid Gollum's pursuit, but the monster, which was uglier than a goblin, blocked the Hobbit's escape.

In addition, Bilbo, holding the sword Sting, could not do anything like "killing and robbing", so the situation here remained at a stalemate.

Back to Mike, after stepping on the water dragon and passing through the big hole in the stone wall, he came to the hall built by the dwarf ancestors in Moria.

The space here is more spacious and majestic, and the traces left on the ground vaguely show its prosperity in the past.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge bottomless pit with magma constantly gushing out of it.

This should be the location of the earth's core furnace built by the dwarf ancestors, and it is also the "hometown" where Yama rests.

Seeing that his home was right in front of him, Yama exerted the last of his strength and took two steps at a time, trying to drill into the lava pit.

At the critical moment, a giant water dragon descended from the sky and extinguished the last trace of fire in Yan Mo's eyes. It was fixed next to the magma pit with a diving action, and turned into a lifelike giant statue.

Mike, floating in the sky, admired the stone sculpture of Yama below. Then he condensed holy light with his fists and hammered the stone sculpture into pieces from top to bottom.

At this point, Middle-earth lost a terrifying existence, and Sauron's dark forces also lost a great general.

"A little more powerful than the devil Satan, but lacks many means of attack. Overall, it's just so-so~" After easily getting rid of Yama, Mike made his evaluation with the attitude of a master.

Then he put away his armor of light and walked outside.

"Mike, wait for me~"

Seeing Mike appear in the mine again, Bilbo, who was hiding by the lake, seized this last chance and rushed away from Gollum in a hurry.

Before Mike turns around, he takes off the ring from his hand and hides it.

"Bilbo, you haven't left yet." Mike looked at the Hobbit who was running over with a smile, and subconsciously glanced at the rocks behind him.

Hiding there is a former hobbit turned monster named Gollum.

Gollum had witnessed Mike's terrifying strength before, and was now hiding behind a rock trembling, praying that he would not be discovered.

"I saw you fighting with the lava giant and I was worried, so I waited for you here." Bilbo came to Mike and lied, then said anxiously, "Since you are okay, let's go quickly! Gandalf and the others may be waiting anxiously."

The One Ring can amplify people's desires, and the kind-hearted Bilbo is also affected to some extent.

"Okay, let's go~" Mike shrugged and took Bilbo out of the mine without deliberately looking for trouble with Gollum.

Just before he walked out of the mine, Bilbo could not help but look back. The thin Gollum was standing in the mine, which looked like a ruin, staring at him with his big evil and greedy eyes.

Bilbo was startled by the scene and quickly turned his head back, then subconsciously reached into his pocket and touched the magic ring.

This ring seemed to have its own magical power, which instantly calmed the Hobbit's restless heart.

[Power of leadership (characteristic)]... [Control of the five senses (characteristic)]... [Any size you want (characteristic)]... [Immortality (characteristic)]...

[Supreme Ring*Energy+5000w]...

The One Ring is spiritual. As long as the One Ring is not destroyed, the Dark Lord Sauron, whose fate is bound to it, will not die.

As for Bilbo using the invisibility function of the One Ring to avoid Gollum's pursuit, it was the most obvious application of the One Ring's ability to [control the five senses].

Mike, who had obtained a large amount of energy from the Supreme Ring, moved his mythical level energy slot forward a little bit again, and the scale reached nearly two-tenths.

The future is promising... The future is promising...

Looking again at the Hobbit who was carefully concealing the One Ring beside him, Mike shook his head and condensed a ball of protective power, which he secretly threw at the other party.

This protective force specifically targeting the spirit can at least ensure that Bilbo retains a trace of his nature when he is tempted by the ring.

Instead of becoming a monster controlled by desire like Gollum.

"How long do we have to wait? Do we have to keep waiting like this until the Hobbit comes back?" In the jungle outside the mine, the restless Thorin finally couldn't help complaining.

Just at this time, Mike came over with Bilbo.

"Hey, everyone. And Gandalf... You can't imagine how brave Michael was just now. He beat that horrible lava monster up..." Bilbo naturally heard Thorin's complaints, but being kind by nature, he immediately livened up the atmosphere and helped the other party ease the embarrassment.

Moreover, the scene where Mike fought Yama in the mine did leave a very deep impression on the Hobbits.

"I knew Bilbo wouldn't abandon us. It turns out he was waiting for Mr. Mike in the mines..." Kili also echoed at this time.

Then, all the dwarves' eyes turned to Mike, praising his bravery and thanking him for saving their lives.

"To be precise, the lava monster has been killed by me." Taking advantage of the right atmosphere, Mike casually pretended.

Gathering the power of faith, no need to shudder.

It can be imagined that with these big mouths of the dwarves, Mike's legendary experience of killing Yama will soon spread throughout the continent.

By then, you can earn the power of faith just by lying down.

"Your power is enough to kill Yama!!!" Gandalf looked at Mike in amazement.

What is this? This is a thigh.

In the future fight against the forces of darkness, humans must have a place.

Gandalf also discovered that when Michael returned this time, he had more leadership qualities.

This kind of thing is very metaphysical and cannot be seen or touched, but if it exists, it exists and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t exist.

For example, Thorin has this temperament, but not much.

"You actually killed that monster, that's amazing!!!..."

"Does this count as revenge for our dwarf ancestors?"

"..."

Sure enough, after hearing that Mike killed Yama, the dwarves were shocked again.

Nice words are free of charge.

At the same time, Thorin couldn't help but look back in the direction of Moria.

The death of Yama means that Moria, a place suitable for the survival of dwarves, has once again become a no-man's land.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, it's time for us to set off for Lonely Mountain again." But before that, Thorin still felt that the Lonely Mountain, with its endless treasures, was the most suitable home for the dwarves.

Then, this descendant of the royal family of Durin the Dwarf hypocritically wished Michael a safe journey to Gondor, and then led the adventure team to the Lonely Mountain in the northeast corner.

As for Mike, he needs to continue traveling south to human kingdoms such as Rohan and Gondor.

"I also wish you a safe journey. Don't wait for me to come back from Gondor's defense line and reach the Lonely Mountain before you." Mike naturally saw through Thorin's little thoughts, so before the two sides parted, he also deliberately responded to the other party.

……

On the other side, Azog, a minion of the Dark Lord Sauron and the Orc leader known as the Pale Beast, finally could not sit still when he learned that the dwarf adventure team was getting closer and closer to the Lonely Mountain.

He personally led a large number of Orc Warg troops, crossed the human allied defense line, and rushed to Moria overnight to kill Thorin and others.

As for the Orc leader Azog, he has a feud with Thorin.

It was it that killed Thorin's grandfather Thor who fled from the Lonely Mountain in Moria.

Then, one of its arms was chopped off by Thorin, who was furious as he watched his relatives die in front of him.

Also in that battle, Thorin, who fought bravely with a piece of oak picked up from the roadside as a shield, also earned the nickname "Oak Shield".

Overall, neither side gained any advantage in that battle, but instead became mortal enemies.

This hatred also made Azog relentless in his pursuit of Thorin.

Therefore, not long after parting with Mike, the adventure team was surrounded by the Azog Wolf Army that arrived later.

When enemies meet, eyes turn red with envy. Thorin ignored the wolves and orcs all over the mountains around him, raised the ancient elven sword in his hand and was ready to fight Azog to the death.

"Calm down, Thorin. Don't be blinded by hatred. Have you forgotten the purpose of your trip?" Gandalf grabbed the hot-headed Thorin to prevent him from making unnecessary sacrifices.

After all, Azog was surrounded by orcs, and they were the elite among the orcs.

Thorin would have only sought his own death, and would have implicated the other dwarves of Durin as well.

Thorin clenched and unclenched the sword in his hand, and finally the mission of reviving the glory of the dwarves of Durin allowed him to control the hatred in his heart.

"Let's go. We must reach the Lonely Mountain alive." Thorin raised the sword in his hand again and led the dwarves to turn around and break out.

With everyone working together, the dwarves were able to fight their way out.

"Thor, the King Under the Mountain, is a good opponent. I still remember the look of horror on his face when I chopped off his head."

"...As his grandson, Thorin, don't you want to avenge your grandfather?"

"Come on!! The enemy is right in front of you~"

Seeing Thorin trying to escape, Azog at the back started to provoke him, trying to provoke him to come back and die.

However, its plan did not succeed, but instead made the adventure team run faster.

"Trash, dwarf scum, weak coward!!!..."

After Azog cursed again, he shouted: "Chase them, I will chop off all their heads today~"

Accompanied by the cruel laughter of the Orc leader, the Orc Wolf Riders chased after the adventure team like the wind.

The adventure team was chased and escaped like a cat playing with mouse all the way, and was unable to resist, and was finally forced onto a cliff.

Seeing that we have reached a dead end.

"Hold on~" In order to avoid being bitten by the wolves, Gandalf led everyone to climb up the pine trees on the edge of the cliff.

Then he picked ripe pine cones, lit them with the Ring of Fire, and threw them to the pack of wolves below.

Although Wargs are creatures of darkness, they still retain the animal instinct to be afraid of fire.

Seeing that the fire attack was effective, the dwarves picked up pine cones, set them on fire, and threw them at the wolves and orcs not far away.

Soon, a raging fire broke out in the jungle.

But this time Azog came with the determination to kill Thorin, so under its suppression, the Orc Wolf Team did not retreat.

The situation of the adventure team is still not optimistic.

At this moment, Gandalf used magic to intercept a butterfly and let it send a distress signal to the giant eagle raised by Radagast.

……

On the other side, Mike, who was heading towards the nearest human kingdom of Rohan, also met a group of orc wargs halfway.

However, it may be that Azog misunderstood the power of humans, or rather, the power of Michael.

Therefore, the team of wargs sent out to hunt down Mike only had a dozen or so in total.

"I'm being underestimated." Mike used the power of faith to condense a platinum-colored longbow, and shot out more than a dozen golden arrows that could turn at once.

It was as if they had a navigation system. No matter how the wargs and the orcs on their backs tried to dodge, they would be pierced by the golden arrows at once.

After doing all this, the longbow in Mike's hand turned into starlight and disappeared, then continued to move south.

It's no wonder that he acted indifferent. It was because he had just killed the legendary creature Yama, and the dozen or so wolves in front of him seemed not even worth mentioning.

However, no matter how much he despises them, Mike will still not be polite if he meets an orc again.
