Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 537 - 94: Four Gods Slain in One Day! (Part 1)
Blu is dead.
This Berserker with partial Barbarian Race lineage from the highlands met his end in the small nation of Montuka on the Golden Coast, killed by the country’s Legendary Hero, Thutmose.
"What?"
"Blu is dead? How did he die!"
Duncan sat inside the tent, his face grim, staring at the messenger before him, and spoke in a deep voice: "Did I not already order Hegel to retreat?"
Barbarian ultimately faces death.
But Blu, as one of the top forces in the battle group, second only to Duncan and Hegel, died rather unexpectedly.
The messenger knelt on one knee on the ground, his expression somewhat frightened; he was a Thebes person, and whispered: "After Lord Hegel led the troops to retreat, he then turned to attack the Montuka Kingdom. The King there soon submitted, and we easily took over that small nation."
Montuka is a small country with only tens of thousands of people, on the verge of the Golden Coast. It has only one city; the other territories are villages, towns, and even tribal settlements of the natives.
The messenger lowered his head and said: "Unexpectedly, the King secretly was persuaded by Thutmose."
"They held a banquet inviting all the leaders, and then secretly, Thutmose led elite forces to attack us. Although Lord Hegel led the people to break out of the encirclement."
"Blu, left behind to cover the retreat, died in battle."
Blu died a brutal death.
After capturing Montuka, Hegel accepted the King’s invitation to a banquet but did not anticipate the enemy’s false surrender, partnering with the legendary figure of the Golden Coast to ambush them. As a small nation of just tens of thousands, less than a modern large community, Hegel was a bit careless.
Against the Barbarian, the success rate of schemes is too high.
Upon being besieged, he immediately led the people to break through, but the enemy had already set an ambush. Blu decisively stayed behind to cover the retreat, single-handedly slaying over a hundred enemies and killing a commander on the Golden Coast before being completely surrounded by the enemy.
Relying on his special ability of undying Frenzy, Blu, with severe injuries, blocked the city gate alone, holding back a thousand enemy troops, killing until the bodies piled up like mountains at the gate.
Finally, when the power of the undying Frenzy subsided, Thutmose pierced his chest with a spear, and he was ultimately hacked to pieces by the enemy’s wild swords.
Crack!
Upon hearing that Blu was hacked into mince by the enemy’s wild swords, Duncan’s anger was like a suppressed volcano, and the chair he was sitting on shattered directly.
"With Hegel’s strength, if he wants to break out, who in a small country can stop him?"
Duncan spoke somberly.
The messenger’s body trembled, and he whispered: "They drugged the wine. Lord Hegel was severely poisoned."
"It’s the legendary scorpion poison."
Many Barbarians have almost cured their penchant for lust, but Duncan has not found an opportunity to remedy their penchant for drinking.
Having gone through the windstorm island experience, Hegel is no longer interested in women.
"Scorpion poison? Scorpion Goddess?"
The witch Gleya, on the side, murmured: "One of the ancient Divine Spirits of the Golden Coast, the Scorpion Emperor is her Clan."
There is no real emperor on this land.
However, the Scorpion Goddess is indeed one of the very ancient Divine Spirits.
Duncan stood up, with a cold tone: "Then what about Hegel? Where did they retreat to?"
The messenger cautiously replied: "Lord Hegel has already joined with the warriors of the Owl Tribe; they are preparing to avenge their fallen comrades."
The fury has already clouded Hegel’s mind.
At this time, the Barbarians are almost brainless but also the most fearsome warriors.
Duncan immediately ordered: "Send someone to gather news right away."
Just then, the figure of Storm Eira appeared, and she solemnly declared: "No need. Hegel has already led the troops to the upper reaches of the Nibolt River and will be joining us by tomorrow morning at the latest."
He’s returned?
This is not Hegel’s usual style.
Duncan turned his head, speaking somberly: "Did he massacre the city?"
Storm Eira nodded slowly, hesitating: "All the men of Montuka Kingdom were slaughtered; Hegel led the avenging Barbarian Race army and, in just half a day, killed tens of thousands."
"He burned the city down with a single fire."
Completely in Frenzy mode, Hegel resembled a rampaging beast. He gathered nearby troops and launched a counterattack, single-handedly breaking through Montuka’s city gates. Then, a vast Barbarian Race army swarmed in, burning, killing, and looting without any restraint. The massacre lasted only half a day, and the men of this small nation were killed, leaving not a single chicken or dog spared.
Thutmose was also hacked into mince by a group of Barbarians.
Without Duncan’s restraint at his side, if Hegel was let loose alone, his character flaws were easily exploited by others.
But Hegel on a rampage in Frenzy mode is also the most terrifying.
"Was he truly entrapped?"
"Or is all of this still orchestrated by the Furious Gods?"
Duncan remained silent.
With Blu’s death, yet another traveling companion from days past is gone. Now, only Crete, Ugar, and Tambourine are left among the Barbarians whose names he can call upon.
Under the night sky.
Duncan saw a world-weary Hegel, who appeared much older than before, with more than half his hair turning gray.
"What’s happening?"
Duncan looked at Hegel, whose appearance seemed that of a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, and this transformation caught him off guard.
Hegel seemed to be suppressing something, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment. Only when he saw Duncan’s figure did he calm down slightly, and he slowly spoke: "Scorpion poison, it seems to hold Magic Power that causes rapid aging."
