You and Me Under The World Tree

When Hoder directly picked up his torch warhammer, no one, including His Royal Highness, knew what he was going to do, and they didn't know anything until they saw him smashing the warhammer into those so-called houses. reaction.
 "I see..."
His Highness the Prince was the first to react, while Regin and Siegfried were a little slower to react. They didn't realize what had happened until the so-called 'rugged houses' that were supposed to be made of stone began to bleed. What.
 "Ahhhhh! Damn humans!"
Accompanied by that painful howl, a howl that would almost strike fear into the hearts of ordinary humans sounded out, and at this moment, the surrounding houses began to shake in a series.
This apparently giant village does have some houses, but five of the so-called houses are actually disguised by giants. They use some kind of skill to cover their bodies with a layer that can protect them from sword wounds. of rocks, and then camouflaged them like this.
They put some treasures on their bodies that are enough to attract ordinary adventurers. When these adventurers enter the so-called houses to plunder due to greed, the giants will take action to deal with these greedy guys.
Moreover, this kind of attack is almost instant kill. If the armor level is not enough, the player will also be killed instantly - his wife said so, and some people on the forum did die like this, and as a result, the painful corpse running began. trip.
But after all, Hoder is a man who has speedruned with Dietrich, who is an experienced driver, and it is also on epic difficulty, so of course he knows how to deal with this first boss!
 "Use blunt weapons!" he warned. "These guys flick knives!"
Regin quickly gave Siegfried a two-handed heavy hammer. It was certainly heavier than the sword Siegfried was wearing, but Siegfried was not a weak-handed person. The son of Völsung, he easily picked up the war hammer.
But just when Regin was thinking about giving the prince a hammer, the prince in the eagle-patterned sheep helmet directly pulled out the two heavy swords behind his back.
 "Or with a sword?"
Just when Regin made a startled sound, the prince rubbed the two swords. The sparks caused by the blades of the two heavy swords seemed to act as attractors. The next moment, the flames directly wrapped around the blades, even faintly. Yes, Regin always felt that the flames seemed to be mixed with the roar of something else.
But before Regin could see clearly, His Royal Highness the Prince rushed forward. It was a little different from the standard 'smashing' of Siegfried and Hoder. The prince still waved his giant sword, and it looked like It's like killing these special rock giants!
 'Zila'
Then, he did it. The flame-wrapped sword edge was hot enough to dissolve the rock bodies of the giants. The flames easily tore apart the rocks and cut directly into the still-living internal organs of the giants.
 "Ahhhhh!"
Amidst the painful roar like a wild beast, the rock giant's health bar was cleared like this, a fatal blow.
 This flame is very special...
When the prince launched his offensive, Hoder had already focused his attention on him. He casually smashed the fallen giant's head with a torch, and then just stared at the two swords in the prince's hands.
There is an upper limit to the flame temperature of magic. It is not that Hoder has not tried to use magic to solve these rock giants, but the rock shells of these giants are quite difficult to crack. Hoder used his divine bloodline with a 20% gain to cast it. The damage caused by rune magic is minimal. Using an ice-breaking torch to smash it open, or using ordinary blunt objects to cause damage to it, are all things Hoder has tried before.
But now, the flames cast by the so-called Prince directly tore the rock shell into pieces, which gave Hoder an inexplicable feeling. Even at this time, he lowered his head and glanced at the ice-breaking torch in his hand, because Hoder held it in his hand. The ice-breaking torch can also easily tear apart the rock shells of these giants.
 But, flames are different…
He made this judgment based solely on the visual effects, and while he was in a daze, the prince quickly tore apart these giants like chopping melons and vegetables.
The victorious prince of the Goths, he was able to lead the Gothic Kingdom, which no longer had the guardian of the Valkyries, to conquer the north and south, violently beat the surrounding kingdoms, and even openly beat the Hungarian Empire, which was rumored to be favored by Odin, with the "God's Whip". To win or lose, he himself certainly possesses such outstanding combat power.
Hoder can even imagine the mentality of the enemies he fought against in the setting:
WDNMD, what the hell, his fighting ability is strong, but he can still set fire to it.
 Finally, the dust has settled...
Just when Hoder smashed a giant, the remaining four rock giants were directly torn into pieces by him. Siegfried, who had just adapted to the war hammer in his hand, didn't even take a sip of soup.
The poor child couldn't close his mouth. He obviously wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he couldn't say a word.
 The first boss passed like this...
Watching the five rock giants fall to the ground in extremely strange and tragic postures, Hoder always had a subtle feeling in his heart.
It seems that the tasks in this dungeon are completely "new friends", and even low-level players can be led by these NPCs to pass the level.
So the question is, can the newbie successfully break through the normal and heroic difficulties and successfully unlock the 'epic'?
If a newbie has a boss with a quick pass book, does he need the help of these NPCs?
To put it nicely, this is to allow players to experience the plot seriously, but to put it another way, this is completely useless stuff, and it was probably made by some guy in the planning team.
 And this character is obviously too strong, right?
Hoder had not felt this way before when he was fighting the giants in the mist, but now when he was fighting these rock giants, Hoder's desire to complain was gradually increasing, because this gave him a sense that was better than Siegmund's. It's shocking to everyone.
That guy used to rely on the Holy Sword of Gram to be brave, but this Goth prince turned out to be even more ruthless...
 "Where are we going?" At the same time, His Highness the Prince asked.
Of course, he didn't know the subtle thoughts in Hoder's heart. What mattered to him was just the lines in Hoder's mind that could lead directly to the giant's stronghold.
He casually abandoned the burned and tattered giant sword in his hand, and then turned his attention to the man. The man in armor did not respond to him at this moment. Instead, he ran to the corpses and looked at them. I touched it with my hand for a while.
But His Highness the Prince is not Loki after all. He will not tease the other party at this time, and he himself also cares about the composition of these giants.
"Sure enough, these guys are not the real deal...or were once the real deal."
Just when His Highness the Prince was wondering if he wanted to verify his guesses and ideas, the conclusion had already been revealed, and the person who spoke was a dwarf: Regin
Compared to Siegfried and Hoder, the prince had no impression of him and thought he was just a follower - in Midgard, such mixed-race dwarves who could bathe in the sun were very common.
 But now, his words attracted the prince's attention...
"Use rocks or soil to shape the body, and then put in the preserved fresh internal organs, so that the giants can be separated from the flesh and blood and revived. This is..."
"Jotunheim's giant magic." The prince said, interrupting the old dwarf.
 But the old dwarf is not angry either...
"Yes, this is a unique handiwork of giants." Then, he set his sights on the sage holding the torch war hammer, "Do you have anything to say, Hoder."
Of course the old dwarf would not sympathize with these giants, and even at this moment, there was a hint of teasing in his words.
 "To be honest, you must have contributed a lot to why this place is like this."
There is no need for Hoder or anyone else to add or explain anything. Regin can already guess what is happening here with his astute brain.
