Star Forge Titan

"There she is!"

Turning back, the girl was met with a pair of eyes hidden in the crowd, filled with discontent, resentment, and a touch of evasion. What was he dissatisfied with? Discontent with her for not saving them? Diana couldn't help but reveal a hint of disbelief.

"Aha!" The devil factory owner cheered, and his huge body rushed towards where the girl was sitting with heavy steps.

Without caring too much, Diana turned and ran into the temporary storage area where various cloths were piled up randomly.

Although the Abagnon Textile Factory produces all night long, the people responsible for sales are completely dependent on the factory, so the produced cloth is piled here at random.

There are piles of cloth of various grades, but the workers are still wearing patched old clothes. This is really a sad irony.

The demonic factory owner casually pushed over the pile of cloth, but before it even reached the storage area, sparks from the boiler embedded in its abdomen ignited the cloth. The monster let out a scream, not bothering to catch Diana, and quickly slapped the burning cloth with both hands.

After extinguishing the fire, a look of hesitation appeared on the devil factory owner's fat face.

Seeing Diana standing among the cloth, the monster stopped and did not pursue her. The reason was simple: if it got too close to the goods, the boiler on its body might ignite the cloth, causing all the goods produced to be burned.

Seeing the devil factory owner stop, Diana thought for a moment, then raised her heroic eyebrows, realizing why the other party did not dare to approach the storage area.

"Hmph." The girl shook her ear-length hair and kicked up the cloth that had fallen to the ground, on which sparks still remained.

"No! Don't!" The devil factory owner actually screamed like a little girl.

"I'll give you a raise, no, I'll give you a vacation, no, I'll give you a promotion, don't burn it, it's mine, all of this is mine! You can't burn it!" The confused new consciousness uttered chaotic words.

"Ha, meaningless stuff." Diana stared at the other person's ugly face with sharp eyes.

At this moment, she seemed to understand something, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

But at least the girl thought of a way to escape.

Without hesitation, Diana held the burning cloth and set the surrounding goods on fire. Behind her, the demonic factory owner roared with extreme anger and ran around the temporary storage area, trying to put out the burning cloth.

But this caused the monster's boilers to ignite more cargo.

Finally, when Diana ran out of the cargo storage area, she found a vast sea of ​​fire behind her. She could see a large figure running around, wailing and trying to extinguish the raging flames. The stench of burning flesh wafted continuously from the inferno.

"Don't let your guard down." A voice suddenly came from behind Diana.

The girl subconsciously swung her punch, but the other party easily caught it.

"Demons are very difficult to kill, no matter their rank." Alvin looked seriously at the demon factory owner who was trying in vain in the sea of ​​fire.

"When did you come out?" Diana couldn't help asking. She had just escaped with great effort and got covered in coal dust and bruises, but the other person looked as relaxed as if he was out for a picnic, without even a speck of dust on his body.

"Just came out a little while before someone started setting the fire." Ivan shrugged.

Those piles of animated walls were not a big trouble for other low-level transcendents, but he relied on [Reshaping the World] and his powerful fists to force his way out of the wall.

However, those walls could regenerate continuously, so Alvin had to open a road that could never be restored before he finally got out, so it took a little longer than planned.

However, Diana's series of responses made him feel enlightened. This girl was indeed worth training.

In fact, even before Lakayan joined the group, Ivan had been thinking about a new idea. The enemies that might appear would only become stronger, and in the real Paladin, where no players existed, even if he went to a dungeon, he would most likely only be able to find the original game characters.

In this case, it is natural to look for characters who have potential and decent moral character.

Diana clearly fit the bill in every way.

In terms of potential, she later became a new fifth-level extraordinary person. In terms of moral character, even though she was born in the Lower City, she was still willing to take greater risks to protect innocent people, even if she just met them for the first time.

"What an unexpected way of dealing with it." Alvin sincerely admired the short-haired girl.

"Now is not the time for compliments." Diana glared at him in dissatisfaction like an angry little wild cat, and she could no longer maintain her previous expressionless and cold look.

"While the monster is being held back, we have to find a way to rescue everyone else," the girl said quickly.

"This is not difficult." Alvin nodded, then stomped his feet hard, and dark golden magic power surged outward quickly like water waves.

The sound of concrete breaking resounded throughout the factory, and the shackles on the workers' feet broke. Everyone showed a nervous and joyful expression, and some even couldn't help shedding tears. Soon, they found the road that Ivan had opened to the outside of the factory and ran towards it.

This scene made the devil factory owner in the sea of ​​fire even more angry. He roared continuously, but was reluctant to leave the goods that had not been burned, so he could only let the workers escape from this devil factory.

"But, one of them just betrayed you, right?" After doing this, Alvin asked softly.

"I hold a grudge very well. I will definitely break that bastard's legs afterwards." Diana shook her head and said fiercely.

"Just breaking the leg?" Alvin chuckled.

A person who truly holds a grudge would not just break the leg and leave it at that. Someone like him would definitely press that bastard's head into the roaring machine with his own hands.

"Are you okay?" Alvin asked again.

"It's okay." Diana shook her hair habitually. The coal dust stuck on it made the girl feel very uncomfortable.

Although she said this, her shoulders were shaking slightly, and it was obvious that she was not as relaxed as she appeared.

"Okay, then let's use this guy as a teaching case." Alvin stretched his arms and legs.

"Huh?" Diana looked puzzled.

Isn't it enough to just rescue the workers? Even though there are bad guys among the sheriffs, it's better to let them deal with monsters like this, right?

"Don't worry, it won't take too much time." Alvin clenched his fist, making a crisp sound.

"Before we came here, didn't we plan to teach that black-hearted factory owner a lesson?"

That's true, but is teaching a lesson to an ordinary greasy and black-hearted capitalist the same as teaching a lesson to a devil capitalist with a boiler embedded in his belly?

Diana thought with a stunned expression:

Before she could say anything, she saw Alvin take the lead and rush directly into the sea of ​​fire that had not yet been extinguished.

There seemed to be an invisible force field around him, separating the high-temperature flames from his skin, so he was not burned at all.

Facing the demon factory owner who was over five meters tall, almost three and a half times his own height, Alvin had no intention of retreating. He walked straight through the flames and came to the other party.

"If you disrupt production, you will die! If you interfere with making money, you will die!" The devil factory owner let out an incoherent roar and waved his hand to slap the 1.85-meter-tall young man in front of him.

"When facing a monster stronger than you, don't force a fight." With that, Ivan grabbed the opponent's hand, pinched its fingers, and spun around to leverage the momentum, unleashing a seemingly simple but technically demanding shoulder throw. He'd learned this move from watching a video while taking a break from gaming, but when he told his guildmates about it, everyone looked at him like he was a liar.

Boom! The Demon Factory Master's heavy body slammed heavily onto the ground, causing the surrounding ground to tremble.

Diana widened her eyes, feeling that the scene before her was simply unbelievable. She was obviously so much smaller than the other party, yet she managed to throw out a monster that was bigger than her.

But in reality, the guy wasn't seriously injured. His incredibly thick fat acted like a layer of flexible armor, almost completely offsetting the impact of the fall. Instead, the finger Ivan had gripped had a very obvious fracture.

"Hey, it's useless." The main monster of the Demon Factory smiled and turned over and got up, clenching his swollen and thick five fingers into fists, and the bent fingers were forcibly straightened by his muscles.

Then, the fist was like an iron ball used to break walls and demolish buildings, hitting Ivan heavily with a whistling sound.

The power of this punch is almost comparable to the attack from a huge monster like an ogre, and because of the extra mass brought by the metal and machinery in the main body of the Demon Factory, its fist is even more terrifying than the fist of an ordinary flesh and blood creature. Even a piece of pig iron can be forcibly flattened.

"But..." Faced with such a terrifying punch, Alvin didn't even try to dodge. Instead, he stood still and continued to teach Diana in a gentle tone:

"If the opponent is weaker than you, you can just fight hard."

Chapter 38: Using Steel to Break Softness

Except for some strange types that are more like dancing, most martial arts techniques require being down-to-earth.

In other words, only when your feet are firmly on the ground can you exert your strength to the greatest extent.

At this time, Alvin's hands hung naturally and relaxedly on both sides of his body, his legs slightly apart, and he stepped casually on the solid concrete floor with a width of the same width as his shoulders.

The oncoming huge fist brought about a gust of wind, which almost occupied the entire field of vision, and also caused the boy's loose black hair to fly high back like a flag in the wind, but the expression on his face remained as calm as water.

As mentioned before, Palladia as a game has a very high degree of realism, so some real-life techniques can be directly applied to the game.

Therefore, when Alvin was still in the early stages of his role, in order to improve his combat power, he also taught himself a lot of martial arts techniques through videos and related materials similar to online open courses.

However, every time he told this little trick to other guild members, he would always receive a bunch of speechless eye rolls or other looks with more complicated meanings.

The only president who was willing to explain it to him gave him an analogy that was easier to understand.

"Your behavior is just like looking at a fabricated ninja scroll, the kind sold as a tourist souvenir from Yingzhou, and then teaching yourself to become a ninja master (

Master's monster."

Speaking of this, the guild master, who was of Nordic descent, couldn't help but speak his mother tongue.

In this way, he somewhat understood what others meant, but to be honest, compared to subjects like advanced mathematics, martial arts was quite...interesting.

Reminiscing about the past, a smile involuntarily appeared on Ivan's face. Although the black-haired boy himself had no other intentions, to others, it was simply a disdain for the monster before them.

Of course, he was wearing a half-face mask, so no one could see this guy trying to be cool and fashionable.

But the feeling of relaxation all over the body reveals the meaning of contempt to the fullest.

The demon factory owner who was swinging his fist roared, and the strength in his hand increased by three points.

Diana's expression changed slightly as she watched Ivan's back. Although she thought what he had just said was nonsense—how could a human be stronger than a monster?—she nodded secretly inwardly, feeling that the boy's figure seemed particularly tall.

Before the iron fist that was powerful enough to flatten pig iron fell, Alvin took a deep breath, stepped back half a step with his right leg, and clenched his right hand into a fist at his side.

Then, in a short moment, complete the complete movements of kicking the legs, twisting the hips, spinning the body and punching.

In an instant, a force rose from the ground, along the boy's strong waist, legs, back, and arms, all the way to his right fist that was swung diagonally upwards!

Fist to fist! Force to force!

Not a single dodge or deviation!

The boy's fist was like a clenched hammer, colliding with the devil factory owner's fist, which was as big as a demolition iron ball!

With the fists of both parties in contact as the center, the visible force field impact rapidly spread to the surroundings, as if a violent storm exploded on the spot!

The power of the Demon Factory Owner has now exceeded 20 points, which is enough to crush most low-level transcendents.

But even though Ivan's body was shrunk by the magic ring, he still burst out a terrifying value of more than thirty points after launching the barbarian frenzy!

In the real world of Palladia, data may not be able to explain everything, but it is indeed the most intuitive calibration of physical fitness.

Moreover, the black-haired boy now relied on his skills to release the full power of this enormous force with a terrifying efficiency of over 100%.

The devil factory owner's fat layer, which could absorb physical shocks to a great extent, was hit by a huge force far beyond his expectations. It was like the sea surface that was hit by a meteorite and caused huge waves, and it kept fluctuating.

Its expression quickly changed from cruel and cheerful at the beginning to solemn, and then in an even shorter time than the previous one, it showed a distorted expression of fear and even despair.

"Flexible armor?" Alvin slowly retracted his fist and uttered a slightly doubtful word.

Without paying any attention to his opponent whose expression was becoming more and more ferocious and terrifying, the black-haired boy picked up a relatively clean piece of cloth, turned his back to the huge monster and walked away, wiping off the grease on his hands with a little disgust.

"That's it?" The voice fell indifferently with a hint of disappointment in the calmness, and a piece of light cloth also fell with it.

At this moment, the demon factory owner, whose whole body was shaking violently, still maintained the posture of punching him the moment before.

But then, the terrible sounds of flesh tearing and metal twisting rang out simultaneously.

Behind Ivan, the fat demon factory owner let out an ugly, weird cry of "Jiahh ...

Its fat, which could absorb powerful physical shocks, burst like a bursting water balloon, layer by layer bursting with continuous and violent tremors. The metal mechanical skeleton, which was strong enough to support a huge weight, was also uncontrollably twisted and deformed due to the terrible force transmitted back and forth.

The boiler embedded in the abdomen of the devil factory owner turned into an exploding pressure cooker, releasing bursts of flames and high-temperature steam from the inside out.

Under the influence of this internal pressure, the factory owner's grease-filled body first exploded like a firework, and metal debris and fat fragments flew high into the air, even igniting the ceiling of the factory. The remaining debris remained in place and turned into a huge bonfire, burning fiercely and emitting a foul odor.

Alvin did not feel proud of killing a low-level demon with one punch.

In fact, after stacking so many powerful templates and attribute enhancement rituals, if he couldn't do this, he would be unworthy of his status as a combat power party. A strength of more than 30 points is the only way to achieve such an unreasonable attribute crushing.

What really made his expression serious was the dilapidated wreckage of the steam engine.

If it was just heavy metal poisoning caused by illegal machines, he wouldn't be surprised at all. The chaos in the early days of the Linde Magic Revolution was not unfamiliar to old players.

There are so many similar branch tasks that it is normal even if he has never heard of them.

But when it comes to incidents like this involving curses or even magic, there must be some deeper hidden dark hand behind it.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary factory owner come into contact with things related to supernatural powers.

This is probably a secret experiment that is difficult to make public.

With a serious expression, Alvin activated the core talent of [Reshaping the World], and used dark golden magic to create a sealed box made of lead metal. He wrapped a piece of steam engine wreckage inside it, and then carefully sealed it up completely.

Only then did he wave to the stunned Diana.

"We should leave now. Such a big commotion will definitely attract those official extraordinary people from the Linde Public Security Bureau."

Talking about those old rivals in the past plots, the black-haired boy couldn't help but smile. Even though, those people didn't know him at all now.

The Linde Security Bureau is the agency that governs the sheriffs, and hidden within it is a special department that specializes in dealing with crimes committed by extraordinary people. They are clearly called the Nine Security Departments, and each person in them is an extraordinary person of different ranks.

Diana, who witnessed the whole process, pursed her lips, but did not say anything in the end. She just made up her mind in her heart.

So, the two of them quickly left the burning factory, one in front and one behind.
