Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

Then, the molten vortex erupted like a volcano, and violent waves swept in all directions.

Perhaps it was due to the power of the Furnace Guardian itself, it was able to convert the energy of the entire Mountain Copper Furnace into a deadly attack on everyone.

The goddess of war spread her arms, and pure magic metal transformed into a shield rising from the ground, blocking the craftsmen.

The three Source Hammers were ready to do their best to stop the impact of the fire. They had grief on their faces. The wave of molten fire was too turbulent. Before the shield formation was combined into a high wall, the lava would definitely hurt some people.

Li Ang used his magic power to spread out, slowing down the movement of everyone within the coverage area.

The craftsmen felt everything slow down and were horrified. The spiritual fire in the eyes of the Iron Guards flickered, but they could not escape the effect of the slowdown.

Leon raised his hand again and cast an acceleration spell on Ella Fia.

She broke away from the deceleration, but did not launch an attack immediately. In front of her, the whole world pressed the slow motion button.

Leon felt that Alafia was looking at him from inside the Goddess of War, and the perception of that burning magic was so obvious.

"With you, I can definitely use this kind of auxiliary spell..."

She seemed to whisper something that became softer and softer.

Then, a steel shield wall was erected, forming a defensive circle against the molten fire attack.

The goddess of war leaped onto the ground like a giant, flying over the shield wall. The giant gun dropped destructive silver bullets in the air, causing the blue and silver runes on the iron guards' bodies to flash violently.

Then, the Valkyrie launched an attack from the air with the remaining five weapons. Under continuous attacks, the runes on the Furnace Guardian were shattered, and its armor could be easily dented.

The effect of the slowing field ended, and the Honglu Guardian immediately wanted to counterattack. After the runes on its body were highlighted, the halo of the brilliance of creation spread outward, greatly alleviating the attack of the goddess of war.

However, Alafia's acceleration technique had not yet ended. After losing the balance of deceleration, in the eyes of everyone, the weapon combo of the war girl she controlled turned into a violent storm, and the dazzling light and shadow made people feel that the arrival of a true god was no more than this.

Even though she could control a portion of the source power called the Radiance of Creation by the craftsmen, in front of Ellaphia, who had received the double benefit, these powers were still completely dissipated by the Valkyrie's attacks.

The armor on the chest of the Honglu Guard was broken, and the Valkyrie reached in at high speed and grabbed all the weapons.

She held the dark gold ghost-faced hammer in one arm and smashed one of its arms with one blow, while with the other arm she threw the staff towards Leon.

The gorgeous holy staff, flashing with six kinds of high-level magic, drew a colorful arc and fell into the hands of the sorcerer.

He immediately synchronized with the spiritual resonance within it, and the next moment, six kinds of light rose around him.

The Valkyrie nodded in satisfaction and retreated a few steps to resist the counterattack of the Iron Guard.

The Furnace Guardian walked towards the rift where it descended, and after receiving a supply of magic power, the blue-silver runes on its body were re-lit.

"You can't...buzz...destroy me..."

It was about to express its indestructibility, but the runes on the spot where it had just been hit by the Ghost Face's hammer had all collapsed, and it couldn't even lift the source armored arm.

"Can't regenerate? The weakness is revealed!" Cassandra shouted.

Ellaphia said, "The inherent barrier on its body can regenerate. Even if we both have the same 9th-level power, I can only hurt it by weakening it.

"But with the spell I just cast, I was able to use my Noble Phantasm's conceptual skill to destroy a portion of its rune armor before it could build up its defense."

The concept skill of Dark Gold Ghost Face Hammer is to inflict structural damage as long as the opponent is weaker.

Ellaphia chuckled, "Right now, I'm the stronger one."

"Unforgivable lunatic!"

"Is this the only thing you can say in your reservation program?" Leon said.

The Honglu Guard made a violent sound of metal armor rubbing against each other, pressing the edge of the dimensional rift and pulling it outwards.

"The Guards will attack! They will take you—"

"Is it calling for reinforcements?" said Geldin.

"We can't have another one of these!" Cassandra gathered her strength and prepared to jump up and hammer its damaged arm.

Before she attacked, a beam of flame struck its arm from top to bottom. After losing the protection of the conceptual rune, the source armor on its body immediately began to change color in the high temperature.

Hephiwais, wearing a pair of heavy boots, stepped on the molten lava flowing everywhere. The hem of his robe was torn off with burn marks. At this moment, he regained control of the rail system of the bronze furnace and mobilized its power to launch an attack.

Above him, several craftsmen, some using flying devices and others floating under their own power, began to repair the rail system that was damaged after the arrival of the Iron Guard.

Beside Hephihuais, a shining fire magic energy source was running at full power, relighting the orichalcum furnace.

"It's you, the leader of the criminals who stole the power of Honglu!"

The Iron Guard stared at Hephiwise.

"It's me," the red-haired craftsman said, "I now understand that it's not that I am hopelessly mediocre, but that you have taken away what is rightfully ours.

"Criminals? Do you know how many people here are? How many have dedicated their lives to pursuing this goal?"

Hephihuais focused on activating the various devices of the orichalcum furnace one by one.

"If you think I'm a criminal, then so be it. I will not only 'steal' the power, but I will even completely control it in my hands."

"Well said!" Cassandra exclaimed.

Before she attacked, the red-haired master craftsman raised his hand to draw the magic power, and a stream of golden liquid metal suddenly gushed out at the feet of the iron guard. It was molten mountain copper, and four engraved bracelets floated in the surging mountain copper.

"It's that golem." Leon remembered the golem that had just returned to the furnace to replenish its body. It had been silent during the forging process. When the guard of the Creation Furnace arrived, he forgot about it for a moment.

This thing originally belonged to Hephiphaeus, and was also a secret trick prepared by the craftsman at that time.

A huge amount of flowing mountain copper suddenly gushed out, instantly wrapping up the iron guard and restricting its movements.

Its right arm easily tore off the liquid orichalcum, but because the defensive runes on its left arm were broken, it could not get rid of the pile of liquid orichalcum. It quickly merged the torn body back together with itself.

Hephiway said, "The runes on its body work together. If a gap is opened, its stability will be affected."

The high temperature of the flowing mountain copper made the iron guard, which had lost its integrity, very uncomfortable. It rubbed against the steel with a harsh metallic sound, and it seemed to realize that it could not get rid of this liquid enemy.

Kassandra dragged some large, heavy restraints from the edge of the furnace. "These are leftover tools from when we built the forge and the elevator. Enjoy them, you bastard!"

She flung the heavy engineering harness over the Iron Guard, tightening its bonds.

"Even if you imprison me, you cannot destroy my form. The army that destroys you will surge from the furnace of creation and grind your flesh and blood into dust."

After it finished speaking, the source armor on its body began to disintegrate, but it did not separate completely. Only some chains shot out from it. These chains quickly shook into the hollow rocks underground, like a giant net that firmly connected it to the mountain.

The spiritual fire in its eyes gradually died down, and its body huddled together, as if it was about to enter a dormant state.

The dimensional rift on the side was also slowly closing, and the craftsmen watched helplessly as the door leading to the place they longed for gradually closed.

"Can't we rush through? What if we have level 9?" Someone looked at Alafia, as if they felt that they were strong enough to pass through this passage.

"Tearing open a dimensional rift doesn't mean you can pass through it. Level 9 isn't that strong yet. Things that can do that must have their own special methods," said Li Ang.

He thought of the Crimson Demon and Bahamut.

As for demons, he hadn't actually seen them passing through the dimensional channel. They seemed to be subject to some kind of restriction, relying solely on the spirits left in Newbiss to incarnate and manifest. However, they could be powered by the invisible conduits of the magical dimension. If they weren't restricted in that way, they should be able to do the same thing as the Furnace Guardians.

Bahamut, on the other hand, actually tore the dimension apart with his own strength, so it doesn't count.

Cassandra said, "What are you talking about? Miss Councilwoman has been doing us a great favor, right? Are you going to let her go in and deal with so many of these steel racks by herself?"

The craftsman came to his senses and said, "I was too impatient. I'm sorry."

Facing the silent steel giant, Molain wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Is there no danger for now?"

"That was a close call." Farlow said with a dry laugh.

"it's not finished yet."

Leon was in a spiritual vision. He saw that this thing also had a spiritual thread connecting to an invisible dimensional rift, which should be a direct path to the furnace of creation.

The doctor explained this situation, and he continued, "This should be used to mark the location. What it says is true. If we leave it here, the army of the Furnace of Creation will also be able to locate this place."

Geldin stared at the runes on the Iron Guardian. "I want to study them more."

Hephiphaeus lowered his head and pondered, "It can find us because of the 'brilliance of creation' that flashed when its Noble Phantasm took shape. I think it calls it the power of the Essence. This power is fleeting. If it had companions, it wouldn't be able to find us this way, so it is a beacon."

"Throw it to the bottom of the sky and let them find it there!" a craftsman shouted.

The red-haired craftsman looked up at the last chains released by the iron giant. "These things have merged with the rocks beneath the island. No wonder it's so fearless."

Alafia had not yet left the form of the goddess of war, but had simply opened the pure magic metal of her breastplate to the sides, revealing her face.

Inside the Metal Valkyrie, just like the training props she showed Zoe before, her limbs were covered in pure magic metal structures, allowing her martial arts to be properly transferred to the external armor.

With Leon's spiritual activation, she is now full of energy.

"Shall I cut them off?" she asked.

Hephiwais said, "It understands its own structure very well. These chains are connected to each other. If they are forcibly dismantled, the force will be transmitted to other chains, which will destroy the structure of Vitask's underground."

"What should I do?"

The craftsmen turned their attention to Alafia, Leon, and the three Source Hammer craftsmen.

"Don't forget, we are craftsmen."

The red-haired man seemed to have the answer.

“We are not good at fighting, but smelting things is our strength.

"Today, our greatest achievement is realizing that the creation of Noble Phantasms isn't due to a lack of talent on our part, but rather to an inherent unfair constraint. From this day forward, our direction is clear."

"As for this thing," Hephiwise pointed at the Iron Giant, "Thank you, Miss Councillor and Mr. Sorcerer, for helping us protect the furnace. We need to rekindle the orichalcum furnace, direct the flames towards the giant, and melt and dismantle it at the same time."

He sneered: "Just practice first, we'll have to tear down more in the future."

The craftsmen smiled, responded loudly, and got to work right away.

Li Ang looked at the excited crowd and felt emotional.

Even he would think of taking a break after completing a big task, but these people's enthusiasm and energy can always be transformed into motivation. Perhaps this is why they can reach a high level as craftsmen.

Soon, as the materials inside the mountain copper furnace were used up, the craftsmen began to mobilize materials from outside.

On the other side, Faronio whispered, "Doesn't Mr. Leon's strengthening spell have side effects?"

"You found out about this too?"

Li Ang had no way to deal with this cunning profiteer and sighed.

"She is the descendant of a Blade Master, and her blood is as tough as steel. Wouldn't she be immune to the side effects of the enhanced spell?" asked Faro.

Li Ang shrugged and said nothing.

"If that's the case, she won't be burdened by my ultimate move. Then she and Mr. Leon are truly a perfect match... a pair of combat partners."

When Alafia heard the profiteer's words, her face remained expressionless, but she couldn't control the smile on her lips.

The work on the Mountain Copper Furnace would take some time. When Leon was wondering what he should do standing here, he saw Hephiphath and two other Source Hammer craftsmen walking over together.

He looked at the holy staff in Li Ang's hand and said, "Can I borrow this staff to take a look?"

213. After the Soul's Peak Leaves Life

"Of course." Li Ang said immediately, "You guys built this."

"Once the item is sold, it belongs to the customer. We still have this professional ethics," said Cassandra.

"It's just that as a masterpiece of the highest level in our lives, we want to remember what it looks like," said Gellert.

"No problem at all."

To be honest, Li Ang has no intention of showing off.

He was quick to accept advice and was afraid they would ask for compensation.

Although he also provided six of the most critical refined source crystals, since this staff was made for him, it was only natural for him to provide the materials himself.

However, for this, the materials of the entire Mountain Copper Furnace were consumed. Although we now know that it was because the Creation Furnace prohibited the authority to manufacture treasures, it might be possible to save this part by using six skeleton crystals at the beginning.

But no one could have predicted this situation in advance, and people did suffer losses because of this incident.

Fortunately, the three master craftsmen didn't even mention the materials; their attention was all on the staff.

"It's so beautiful." Cassandra exclaimed in admiration, the gorgeous light of the scepter reflected in her eyes.

"It is undoubtedly a Noble Phantasm constructed according to my ideas."

Hephiway remained calm as usual, but his expression was even more excited than when the Furnace Guard suddenly attacked him.

He drew magic power to brush across the staff, and the staff hummed softly, as if the colorful high-level magic within it was singing.

Leon looked at his panel. The red-haired craftsman was indeed a warrior, but his control over magic power was far more precise than that of an ordinary warrior. If it weren't for the poor total amount, it would be closer to call him a spellcaster.

Hephiphath controlled high-level magic to shape pure magical objects. The flower clusters of natural power and the scales of divine power each held an arcane golem and an ether elf. The miniature sun simulated by light elements and the pocket moon simulated by dark elements revolved around them.

Relying solely on the magic power provided by the Noble Phantasm, he seemed to have created a miniature world on the spot.
