The dwarves were responsible for breaking through in the front, while Dui and Gandalf were responsible for covering the rear.

Everyone moved forward quickly, not daring to stop for even a moment.

Because the temperature around them became hotter, it seemed as if summer had arrived in an instant, and the dwarves were sweating in their armor.

This means that the fire demon is getting closer and closer to them.

Everyone was on high alert and quickly rushed towards Durin's Bridge.

The Orcs never gave up the pursuit, and even after feeling the temperature change around them, they were like taking stimulants, filled with fear and even more excited.

The Orcs in Moria have a servant relationship with the Balrog. The Orcs worship the Balrog as a god, accept his rule, act as the Balrog's thugs, collect intelligence for him, guard the territory, etc.

Azog, King of the Orcs, whom Due had slain, was the leader of the Orcs of Moria, and served the Balrog.

So if you really want to calculate, Dui has already had a connection with the Fire Demon.

Dewi and Gandalf continued to fight off the Orcs who were pursuing them, and quickly followed the dwarves eastward.

Finally, everyone arrived at Durin's Bridge.

Durin's Bridge spans between the first and second halls, and under the bridge is a huge, bottomless abyss.

The bridge is about fifty feet long, narrow and has no guardrails, so only people can pass through in single file. It is a fortification built by the dwarves in ancient times.

The purpose is to prevent the enemy from coming in from the east gate or the west gate, and to become the last line of defense.

However, the dwarf craftsmen who built this bridge did not expect that the enemy would not attack from the east or west, but would emerge from the abyss under the bridge.

At this time, the temperature around was already unbearable. Gandalf seemed to have sensed something and came to the bridge and looked into the abyss.

Seeing the flickering fire below, Gandalf suddenly felt like he was facing a great enemy.

"Cross the bridge quickly!"

It is not easy for more than a thousand people to cross the bridge in a short period of time.

In particular, the Durin Bridge can only accommodate one line of people.

Dui immediately cast a spell towards the bridge: "Grow bigger quickly!"

The bridge deck suddenly widened, becoming a wide bridge wide enough to accommodate more than a dozen people walking side by side.

"Come on!"

The dwarves felt that they had escaped a desperate situation and rushed onto the bridge and ran to the other side.

Dewi and Gandalf continued to cover the rear.

Looking at the flames getting closer and closer from the abyss and the scorching temperature around him, Dui immediately took out two bottles of potion and handed one to Gandalf.

"This is the fireproof potion I made ahead of time. It can withstand even fierce flames for a while. Drink it quickly!"

Gandalf took the somewhat cold potion and drank the whole bottle in one gulp without hesitation. His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Thank goodness you're here! This is working really well!"

Dui immediately drank the whole bottle of potion in his hand. In an instant, a chill rushed through his body, making him shiver unconsciously.

The effect was immediate. The originally scorching temperature around him no longer had any effect on him.

They didn't have much time to prepare. When the last dwarf crossed the bridge, the raging fire below the abyss had already rushed to the bridgehead.

A long whip of fire burst out of the abyss and headed straight for Due and Gandalf.

"Super strong armor to protect you!" The wand in Dui's hand had long been replaced with a staff.

He used all his strength to release a huge magical barrier to protect himself, Gandalf, and the dwarves behind him.

The fire whip hit the magic barrier, and ripples instantly appeared on the barrier.

Seeing that Dewi had successfully blocked the whip of fire, Gandalf quickly shouted to the dwarves behind him, "Don't stay, go to the first hall and go to the east gate!"

Balin looked at the scorching fire whip and the flames in the abyss, knowing that they could not help if they stayed here, so he immediately took the dwarves and left quickly.

Without any worries, Gandalf also devoted all his energy to fighting the enemy together with Dewi.

The flaming whip had no effect and was quickly retracted.

The next second, a huge and hot orange flame rushed out from the abyss and instantly landed on the opposite side of the bridge.

Some of the orcs around were burned to ashes in an instant by the flames before they could avoid it.

But the other Orcs did not care. They stayed away from the heat and looked up at the flames with fear and admiration, as if they were facing gods.

Gandalf and Due were the closest, and because of the fireproof potion, the scorching heat of the flames had no effect on them.

But both of them looked stern and ready to strike.

In the scorching flames across from him, there was a silhouette resembling a giant, covered in wandering shadows, with a blazing flame at the core of his chest.

It had a pair of burning yellow eyes, a mane that burned with flames and emitted steam, a head like a bison, with two huge horns, a pair of wings made of shadows behind it, and a long tail of fire.

It looks like the image of a demon in the legend.

It was the Balrog, a fallen Maia.

A powerful demon who single-handedly destroyed the Kingdom of Khazad-dûm and occupied this land for thousands of years.

The Fire Demon was like a huge furnace, igniting everything around it. It emitted extremely hot heat all over its body, melting the stone slabs around it and making the surrounding air extremely hot.

Perhaps because he saw that Gandalf and Due ignored its high temperature, the Balrog became very angry. The flames on his body suddenly increased. He drew out a huge sword that was burning with flames and emitting black smoke and slashed towards them.

The flaming sword instantly shattered Dui's magic barrier.

"Duir, lend me your flaming sword!" Gandalf shouted hurriedly.

Dui immediately drew out the flaming sword and threw it to Gandalf.

"I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielding the Flame of Arnor. The Dark Fire will not aid you, you Flame of Udun!"

Gandalf's voice echoed over the abyss, like a declaration and a spell.

The flaming sword in his hand ignited a sacred and blazing white flame, emitting a holy light.

Gandalf swung his flaming sword and slashed it against the Balrog's flaming sword.

A powerful impact erupted instantly, causing Gandalf and the Balrog to take a few steps back.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Dui raised the staff in his hand and pointed it at the fire demon. An extremely dazzling green light shot out from the gem on the staff.

The breath of death that emanated was far more powerful than the power it had previously unleashed.

Feeling threatened, the Fire Demon reacted instantly, slashing at the incoming death curse with the giant flaming sword in his hand.

The killing curse and the flaming giant sword collided, and a violent explosion occurred instantly.

A dazzling green light exploded, instantly destroying everything around it.

The fire demon was blown away, and the giant flaming sword in his hand shattered into countless pieces.

The huge power of the explosion forced Dui and Gandalf to retreat, and then look at the Balrog opposite with vigilance.

Dui was in a heavy mood at the moment.

He didn't expect that the killing curse that had been brewing for a long time was so easily blocked by the Fire Demon, and only one of the Fire Demon's swords was damaged.

This was a stark contrast to his original plan to at least severely damage the Flame Demon.

However, at this moment, he had no time to care about too many emotions. He could only concentrate all his energy to deal with the next attack of the fire demon.

Sure enough, the next second, the angry roar of the fire demon came from the other side of the broken bridge.

Then came the raging, scorching flames, which engulfed them like a tidal wave.

"The water is as clear as a spring!"

Dui activated his staff, summoning a surging spring of water, forming a wall of water to block the flames.

It is said that water can extinguish fire, but the flames released by the fire demon are too hot and continue to evaporate the water wall.

Dui could only continue to summon water to replenish the water wall and struggle to resist the invasion of flames.

Gandalf also took action at the same time, raising his staff and long sword burning with holy white flames above his head and crossing them, releasing a dazzling shield of light.

"Return to the Shadow, servant of Morgoth!"

The light shield quickly expanded and grew larger, forcing out all the surrounding demonic fire.

The fire demon waved a long whip of fire and lashed it at the light shield. Every time it lashed, the light shield shrank a circle.

Gandalf groaned and once again stretched out his shield of light to resist the Balrog's flaming whip.

But as a Maia, Gandalf, whose power was restricted, was ultimately not as powerful as the Fire Mage.

Under the whip of fire, the light shield became smaller and smaller, and was finally shattered.

Gandalf stumbled back instantly, using his staff to support himself, looking breathless.

"Flame Demon, watch out!"

Seeing this, Dui quickly took out something from his space bag and threw it towards the fire demon opposite.

I saw a suitcase flying towards the fire demon.

The fire demon reacted quickly, swinging his flaming whip and hitting the suitcase directly.

The suitcase collapsed instantly, and the space inside could no longer be maintained, and all the contents were vomited out like vomiting.

In an instant, a volume of water as large as a football field appeared out of thin air and fell directly on the Flame Demon.

It was like pouring water on red-hot iron, and the sizzling sound was endless.

Ordinary water naturally cannot extinguish the flames on the fire demon's body, but it will still make the fire demon feel uncomfortable.

At the same time, along with the flood, there also appeared a huge statue of an underwater watcher.

The Balrog naturally recognized his neighbor, the underwater watcher. It could even be said that they were in cahoots with each other, both crawling out from underground, one occupying Moria and the other occupying the lake outside Moria.

The Balrog could tell that the stone statue in front of him was the "Water Watcher" itself. Its flaming eyes showed some confusion, as if wondering how it could become like this?

However, even though it was strange, the fire demon showed no mercy to the person who appeared in front of it and blocked its way. He swung his whip and was about to burn it to ashes.

But suddenly it came face to face with a snake head emerging from the mouth of the "Water Watcher" and met the pair of yellow snake eyes.

It turned out that the basilisk Herpo was hiding in the slightly open mouth of the "Water Watcher" and succeeded in the sneak attack in an instant.
