Chapter 173 Cryogenic Fate

The moment this war hammer flew out, the force it contained was extremely terrifying, so Roy and Julia both subconsciously made defensive stances.

Turning his head, Roy looked at the big hole smashed by the war hammer and heard the screams of many demons dying on the other side of the wall, as though someone was slaughtering these low-level demons wantonly.

A moment later, the screams came to a stop. Roy immediately understood that the chasing demons were all dead.

Boom! Boom! Heavy footsteps came. At the entrance of the hole opened by the war hammer, a burly… stocky figure appeared. When she saw this figure, Julia’s pupils could not help but shrink as she subconsciously shouted, “Ulthane?! It’s you?!”

A short and stout man appeared in front of Roy and Julia. He had a pair of incomparably thick and solid arms, and explosive muscles covered his entire body. On his flat-topped head, only his temples had hair flying back, and he had a full beard and a resolute expression. After hearing Julia’s voice, the burly man glanced at Julia. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the war hammer that was deeply embedded into the ground.

With cracking sounds, the ground cracked open like a spiderweb as he pulled the war hammer up. The weight of the hammer was unimaginable.

However, Ulthane easily held this war hammer in his hand. After swinging it in a circle, the blood and minced meat of the demons on it were flung away. Only then did Ulthane place it on his shoulder.

After doing this, Ulthane opened his mouth and said with a deep voice, “Fallen angel, do you know me?”

“Of course, who hasn’t heard of your name, ‘Black Hammer’ Ulthane of the makers?” Julia’s expression was very serious. She held her sword tightly and asked, “Why has someone of an ancient race like you come to the human world? Don’t the makers never intervene in the war between angels and demons?”

Ulthane did not speak and slowly walked forward while carrying his war hammer. Seeing this, Julia became increasingly nervous and subconsciously moved closer to Roy.

Although Roy remained calm on the surface, he was actually gathering magic power.

When Julia mentioned the makers, Roy immediately recalled that there was indeed such an ancient race in the Darksiders world. How ancient was this race? Their history predated even the appearance of the Charred Council!

The maker race was a born artisan race. They were very similar to the so-called dwarfs, but in fact, they were even stronger than the dwarfs. There seemed to be very few of this race, but every one of them was an extremely powerful warrior. It was obvious from Julia’s nervousness.

Now that the ‘Black Hammer’ Ulthane appeared and killed a large number of demons, Roy could not help but be wary. He was a very strong enemy. Before figuring out his intentions, he had to be prepared to fight.

Ulthane ignored Julia’s question. Instead, he stood not far away from them and turned to look at Roy. After sizing him up for a while, he said, “I’m Black Hammer Ulthane. Demon, who are you?”

“My name is Osiris!” Roy replied expressionlessly.

“I hate you!” Ulthane immediately said straightforwardly. “You’re exuding a cold aura, and the makers hate anything that can lower the temperature!”

“Oh, really?” Roy mocked, “Don’t tell me that you use magma for cooling and quenching when forging?”

“…” Ulthane choked at Roy’s words but then shook his head. “It seems like you’re also a cunning demon. I won’t argue with you. The war between angels and demons has nothing to do with me. But if you want to pass through here, you’ll have to first ask if my hammer agrees!”

With that, he moved the war hammer off his shoulder and held it horizontally in front of him.

“Huh?!” Roy was slightly stunned for a moment before asking with a subtle expression on his face, “You want to stop me? Do you know what I want to do?”

“Of course, I know!” Ulthane’s nostrils spewed out two rough streams of air as he said in disdain, “Aren’t you just trying to plunder the human souls in this facility? I don’t believe that you won’t be tempted by so many souls!”

“No, no, no!” Roy stretched out a finger and shook it. “You’ve guessed completely wrong. In fact, I’m just lost!”

“Do you think I’ll believe that, demon?!” Ulthane snorted.

“Of course not!” Roy spread his hands. “Your tone of voice means that you were already planning to fight, right?!”
