Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 568 Defeat
[Frostfather Matalotok]

[+5 Artifacts·Magic Weapons·Two-handed Hammer]

[Enchantment effect: Frost Lord, Glacial Torrent, Winter Wind Domain, Bone-piercing Wound, Unbreakable Strength]

[Frost Overlord: [Matalotok] is a divine weapon forged by the Frost Giant God, Thorim. It has a very special meaning to the Frost Giants. If the holder of this hammer is a Frost Giant, then the holder can use this artifact to command almost all Frost Giant clans. If the holder is not a Frost Giant, then this hammer can also make the holder completely immune to cold damage and all negative effects related to it.]
[Glacier Torrent: The holder of [Matalotok] can freely control frost. When holding this hammer, the holder can use only the power of the hammer to blow up a cold current, or instantly create a huge glacier that can cover an area of ​​hundreds of meters. If the power of the hammer is continuously activated, the frost will spread outward at an alarming speed, thus completely freezing a large number of enemies. The farther the distance covered by the frost, the lower its power.]
[Winter Wind Domain: The holder of [Matalotok] can freely blow up frost storms. Endless ice will spread outward from the hammer like a typhoon. The weak can hardly survive such a storm. If the enemy is very strong, there is a great probability that they will be confused by the divine power contained in the storm, and thus lose their sense of direction and get lost in the frost.]
[Bone-piercing cold: After being created by the Frost Giant God Thorem, [Matalotok] was endowed with the divine power of [Extreme Cold] by Thorem. Creatures struck by this hammer will be instantly corroded by the frost power surging inside, and will be completely frozen into ice from the outside in within a short period of time, killing them in one blow.]
[Impeccable Strength: [Matarotok] will grant its holder legendary strength. If its holder's strength is less than 15 points, he will not be able to lift this hammer. If its holder has 16 points of strength, then at the moment of lifting this hammer, [Matarotok] will grant its holder a full 24 points of strength and 22 points of constitution. If the holder's strength and constitution exceed the above attributes, [Matarotok] will also convert this blessing and add it to the holder's original attributes.]
[Long ago, the Frost Giant God, Solem, created this weapon that he loved most. However, in a war that swept the entire Giant God System and the Dragon God System, the entire Giant God System was defeated, and the Frost Giant God has since disappeared. His most proud weapon has also been passed around and fell into the hands of the Demon Lord Strikoch, who also possesses the power of frost. Not long ago, it was captured by the Grand Duke of Hell, Zariel, and now, this warhammer has fallen into your hands again.]
After confirming the capabilities of the warhammer through the panel, Noshir looked at it while gently waving the artifact in the air several times to test its feel.

After he snatched the hammer from Zariel's hand, the hammer quickly expanded to a size that was very suitable for him. Feeling the heavy weight, Noshir finally nodded with satisfaction.

"good."

Matalotok, this warhammer is truly an artifact-level weapon. Almost every enchantment effect attached to it can directly enhance the powerful ability in combat. But this is not the most critical point of this warhammer. The key point is that even if Noshir’s race is not a frost giant, he can almost perfectly use all the effects of this warhammer!

You know, general artifacts have strict conditions for use. If the holder of the artifact is not its original owner, the new holder must meet certain abilities in order to obtain the minimum authority and exert a certain power of the artifact. However, this hammer has no such concerns at all!

The only limitation on using this artifact is that the strength must reach 15 points. As long as it can be lifted, almost any creature can use this hammer at will and exert all its power except being able to control the frost giants!
'Wait, maybe... I can use this ability too? After all, with the power of the mythical giant, my current body size can easily exceed 30 meters, which is far beyond the limit of ordinary giants and is ten meters taller than the tallest storm giant among regular giants.'

"And if that's really possible, then this hammer is worthy of its name in my hands. After all, I can use the full power of this hammer, but Zariel obviously didn't use the full power of this hammer because of the conflict between her abilities. But now..."

Noshir turned his gaze to Zariel, who had picked up the link again. Her broken arm had been completely healed by her own self-healing ability. At this time, Noshir just saw her awkwardly taking off the armor on her waist and abdomen with one hand.

There was an extremely clear and deep shoe print on that part. After taking off the armor, Zariel took a breath of hot air awkwardly and coughed up a large amount of blood. After that, the wound on her waist began to heal rapidly.

Noshir looked at Zariel's face which was still full of anger and unyielding fighting spirit, and he also clenched [Mata Lotok]. At this moment, he really wanted to test the power of this artifact on the Grand Duke of Hell.

But before launching the attack, Noshil still made some rudimentary use of the natural force to collect the fragments of the battle axe that had been squeezed out of his body due to the healing of his wounds, as well as other scattered large pieces of debris, and also put the half-broken battle axe body into the space box intact.

Just now, Noshir had used the panel to check that when his battle axe first chopped against the handle of [Matalotoq], it had a huge gap due to the violent collision, and then it was broken in half along the gap in the subsequent confrontation. However, after Noshir found that the weapon was damaged, he deliberately controlled the number of confrontations between the two weapons to less than two times, and because of this, the main body of the battle axe was not completely destroyed by [Matalotoq].

Now he collected most of the fragments and the main body of the axe. If Noshir still had some mythological motivation points left after becoming a god, then this battle axe that had been with him for a long time would be reshaped and eventually become a divine artifact.

So, Noshir put his old friend into the space box, and then clenched [Matalotoq] with both hands, wanting to practice with this new guy to see how many hammers the Grand Duke Zariel could withstand.

But what Noshier didn't expect was that in the short time it took him to switch weapons, when he looked up again, Zariel was no longer there.

Noshir immediately looked around quickly and found that the other two demons who were fighting with Gargoyles and the others also disappeared in an instant.

"…teleported away?"

Noshir was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no problem and muttered to himself.

Although Zariel developed a morbid pursuit of war after her fall into the devil, she was not stupid enough to fight to the death in a battle where there was no hope of victory.

Although the fight between the two of them only lasted for a few moments, it was enough for her to see the gap between them.

In every close combat, Zariel would be seriously injured by Noshir's brute force, forcing her to constantly use the authority of Lord Avernus to dodge attacks with fast short-distance teleportation.

He finally thought he had found an opportunity, but when he went up, even his weapon was snatched from his hand, and he was almost kicked in the waist and abdomen. If Zariel didn't leave quickly at this time, he might not be able to leave when he wanted to leave.
