Don't call me evil god

Chapter 549 Awake

Reina could already feel the dangerous aura from Braum when she was in the Realm of Truth.

[Secrets of All Things Revealed] can present relevant information about Braum.

The opponent is a standard level 4 fighter.

Of course, now he should be a level 4 warrior infused with the power of the evil god.

It's probably similar to Dursley of the Bloodfang Gang, their fighting skills will be distorted and mutated, and the anger aroused in their bodies will become more violent.

In short, he is definitely not an easy guy to deal with.

When tracking, Reina didn't even dare to get too close to the other party, for fear that Braum would notice the changes in the concentration of shadow energy nearby and realize the existence of the stalker.

Similar to Winnex, the phantom old butler with level 4 strength in the Countess's castle, they all have enough ability to discover the approximate location of the stalkers and force them to escape from stealth.

But Bron Freeman's vigilance was very low, so low that at first Lena felt that he was not worthy of his strength as a level 4 warrior.

The other party was not alert at all, and was first seen near the Goblin Post on the 5th floor of the Stone Fort;
After taking the anonymous letter as usual, Bron immediately headed towards the Freeman family territory further down in the stone fortress.

The goal is clear and the pace keeps going.

It didn't take Reina much effort to lock onto Braum's position.

She didn't take action immediately.

There were many people outside, and the road was full of pedestrians. Moreover, the closer to the bottom of the stone fortress, the more cultists were hiding.

If you act rashly, it’s hard to say who will get beaten up!
You need to find an opportunity when the other party is alone.

She thought Braum would go home to rest directly, or carry out some tasks assigned to him by the messenger of the Church of the Supreme Truth, but to Reina's surprise: when he reached the second floor through the elevator and Reina had to activate [Stealth] to continue tracking him, Braum went straight to the bottom of the stone fortress - the root of the furnace that only a very small number of dwarves could enter.

"What was he doing there?"

A trace of doubt flashed through Reina's mind.

She remembered Pete mentioning it when he was sharing the intelligence.

After Bron Freeman showed abnormal behavior such as receiving anonymous letters, leaving the Stone Castle for a long time, and going deep into the Spirit Wing Wetlands, he was no longer enthusiastic about his originally superb casting skills and had not forged anything himself for a long time.

The large furnace at the bottom of the stone fortress is almost built on the surface of the magma lake, where the temperature is the highest and the heat is the most abundant. The infinite heat from the magma flows into the furnace.

Ordinary dwarves simply cannot grasp how to control the rhythm of forging in that kind of environment.

Only the most skilled and outstanding dwarves can perfectly control the power of magma. When forging high-end, powerful and special weapons and equipment, they need to use the lowest-level furnace.

There is no elevator leading from the second floor of the stone fortress to the first floor. Instead, there are stone steps carved into the mountain wall.

There are no guardrails or safety protection.

On one side is a steep mountain rock wall;
On the other side is a lake of magma with billowing heat waves.

It takes a lot of courage just to walk from this place into the bottom floor of the stone fortress. If you make a mistake, you will fall into the lava lake and be burned to ashes.

Reina's heart moved slightly.

Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?!
As long as she steps forward and finds an opportunity to push the opponent hard, causing him to lose balance and fall into the lava, wouldn't the threat of the level 4 warrior be resolved?

If the opponent's body and mind have been distorted by the power of the evil god, purifying it with pure flames and brilliant light would be a relief.

Lena held her breath and quickened her pace, carefully approaching Bron Freeman step by step.

Just as she stretched out her hands, ready to push the other person down the stone steps, she heard the other person's urgent reminder in a low voice:

"Don't do it!" "Little girl, don't show yourself, you might be discovered by the guards!"

"I'm awake, and you look like you are too!"

"Come with me, I'll take you to a safe place!"

Reina was shocked.

The other party is not low in vigilance!

Instead, he pretended to be unaware in order to bring her here smoothly!
Bron Freeman, who seemed so fanatical and devout in the Realm of Truth before, is sober? !
He is not contaminated by the empty power of the "Supreme Truth"?

……

After receiving Bron's reminder, Lena naturally gave up the idea that had just come to her mind.

It is possible to push an unsuspecting level 4 warrior into a lava lake, but if the opponent is already on guard, it is better to give up the idea as soon as possible.

If they really had to face off in this dangerous place, Reina would be the one at a disadvantage.

The gap between level 4 and level 3 is no joke.

The stealth players are not good at frontal combat, so it would be difficult for them to die together.

What made Reina even more curious was that since the other party could claim to be sober, he must have something to rely on.

They are under the protection of the god of knowledge, Nowen, and have not been brainwashed in the rebirth ceremony of the messenger.

What does Bron Freeman rely on?
Following closely behind Braum, the closer we got to the bottom floor of the stone fortress, the more obvious the heat wave became.

The lava lake is hot enough to cause harm to humans.
According to the elemental theory, the fire element here is extremely dense and active, almost like the legendary elemental plane, and it is not suitable for mortals to stay for a long time.

Reina could see that she had two more negative states, [Extreme Heat], added to her status.

It is no exaggeration to say that if humans stay in this place for a long time, they will be roasted alive like a chicken stuffed in an oven.

Fortunately, the rebirth ceremony of the Church of the Supreme Truth forcibly changed Reina's race from human to dwarf, inheriting certain racial characteristics of fire resistance and high temperature tolerance from the dwarves, which allowed Reina to continue to maintain her [Stealth] state.

Otherwise, when she was burned by the heat wave, the shadow energy would surely dissipate out of control.

Reina followed Braon into a spacious forging room at the bottom of the magnificent furnace. During the process, they passed through three rounds of inspection by dwarf guards. Thanks to Braon Freeman's help in covering them, they were not exposed.

Reina sensitively noticed that the other party's tense mental state suddenly relaxed after he entered the forging room and pushed the stone door tightly shut.

"call--"

"Little girl, come out!"

"It's private enough here, and there aren't any cultists' eyes on it. It's one of the few safe places in the stone fortress."

Bron Freeman seemed to be talking to the air, but the place where his eyes were looking was exactly where Rena was in stealth mode.

He had indeed long been aware that there was a stalker following him.

The shadow energy surged quietly.

Reina showed up.
