When Rhodes appeared at Yorick's side, the Shadow Isles' gravedigger and soul wrangler breathed a rare sigh of relief.

Fortunately, reinforcements are coming.

What could have been a perfect raid nearly cost Yorick his life - the locks of the Arcane Vault were easily opened, but the guards caused great trouble for Yorick and Mokai.

The big man in front of him was far more difficult than Yorick had expected, and if it weren't for Maokai's care, Yorick's injuries would have been more than just a broken arm bone, a cut in his chest, and a crushed toe.

And the first time Rod arrived, he was greeted by a thick and long iron cable.

"Whoa—"

Rhodes subconsciously flashed, and only after dodging the blow did he have a chance to observe his enemy.

A green muscular freak over three meters tall - he stuck out his tongue, his saliva dripping wet a piece of ground, and the long iron rope in his hand rattled.

Whether it is appearance or characteristics, it always makes Rod feel familiar.

What worries Rod the most is that he has a collar around his neck, and the bright 4395 makes Rod squint his eyes slightly.

Rod took out the ring he found from Mondo, 4397, looking at the appearance characteristics, although the size is different, but the two are basically the same.

At this moment, Rod finally came to his senses.

"Hammerstone ......" from the eyes of his throat, Rod squeezed out the name, "You...... It's dead. ”

……………………

Soul Lock Warden Hammerstone, this is a guy everyone is familiar with.

He is cunning and cruel, insidious and vicious, a bottomless sadist and pervert.

Hammerstone loves to torture people—from soul to body, he loves it.

But few people know when the hammerstone appeared.

As mentioned earlier, Hammerstone is the basement keeper of the Cult of Knowledge, and in the eyes of the people of the Cult of Knowledge, Hammerstone is a non-smiling fellow and the most conformist of the people - but few people know that Hammerstone was already a sadist at that time.

It's just that the hammerstone at that time hid this very well, and everyone didn't know it.

Unbeknownst to the Order, Hammerstone had torn off pages and pages of a living magic book, torn it all off, and then glued it back together; He had scratched a mirror that had sealed the memories of an ancient mage until it was blurred, trapping the mage in darkness, and then polishing the mirror and starting over.

The magical objects that were once kept in the Arcane Vault were like secrets to be passed down by word of mouth, or like magical spells to be cast, but Hammerstone was denying their expectations every day - he would even suddenly recite a spell summoning the incarnation of a demon, ** to the last syllable, and then abruptly stopped.

However, Hammerstone is very good at disguise when it comes to people—he has managed to hide all his cruel side, and everyone in the Order believes that he is still a dutiful guard.

The complete explosion of Hammerstone was born after meeting a warlock, and until then, Hammerstone could only be said to be too destructive, far from tyrannical.

The Warlock had been sealed away from his ability to resist before being imprisoned in the Vault - he had fused his native magical energy with his own flesh and blood, and this fusion had given him the power to heal himself, no matter how bad.

(Does this sound familiar?) ）

Native magic is a general concept, referring to the primitive, temporarily ununderstandable and controllable magical power, and the characteristics of native magic is strong vitality and progressiveness, legend has it that people who grasp the pulse of native magic can master all magic - but my brother warlock may have a different understanding of mastery, forcibly fused the energy of native magic, and made himself a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, and has been drooling.

Hammerstone was very pleased with the new prisoner - he finally had something that could feel the pain of normal humans in its entirety without being damaged, and it was his favorite sadistic plaything for years to come.

When no one is around, the hammerstone delicately peels off the sorcerer's skin, peels the skin away from the muscle with an iron hook, and then whips the exposed wound with an iron chain until the wound heals on its own. He had become accustomed to dragging chains as he patrolled the vault, and the fear of the sorcerers at the sound of the chains approaching the floor made Hammerstone ecstatic.

Since there was never a shortage of torturers in the vault, Hammerstone became increasingly alienated from the Order on the ground—he began to eat alone in his basement, accompanied only by a lantern, and almost never set foot outside of the catacombs.

It was precisely because of the lack of sunlight that Hammerstone's skin began to turn pale and his face began to become skinny.

That's what Rhodes knows about Hammerstone—and now it seems likely that there's a second half of the story.

Just as Rod had guessed, Hammerstone took the hapless warlock as his mother and began his own crazy experiments when the warlock's life force was about to run out.

That's right, the experiment - Hammerstone is reluctant to have such a perfect abusive object, he wants more of this perfect body to abuse himself.

If this body has a perfectly strong soul, it will be even more energetic!

Over time, members of the Order began to distance themselves from him, so when a series of mysterious disappearances began within the Order, no one thought to investigate Hammerstone's lair.

Hammerstone experimented many times - his experiments had been carried out 759 times before the curse erupted, and his experiments never stopped after the curse of the Ruined King broke out.

Mondo was just part of the Hammerstone experiment - maybe it was Hammerstone who let Mondo go on the Night of the Eclipse for some reason, maybe it was Lucian and Senna's reckless surprise attack, but in short, Mondo, who made Rhodes wonder why he was the way he was, was actually just part of the Hammerstone experiment.

It's just an experiment, number 4397.

And the one in front of you is Experiment No. 4395.

Like Mondo, he is tireless, painless, never stops, always attacking.

Subject 4395 had just waved the rope in his hand and made a few moves with Yorick, and although Yorick was not lightly injured, the subject ...... Actually, the problem is much more serious.

But the power of the primordial magic caused his body to be quickly repaired, and in the blink of an eye, No. 4395 was already brandishing the iron rope and rushing over again.

Then he was tossed to the ground by Rhodes' flame blast.

At the same time, Calthas, realizing that something was wrong, rushed to the battlefield - and after completing the teleportation, he saw that it was Rhodes' eyes that burned like flames.

"Fuck off, Karthus—I'm not targeting you right now, call Hammerstone!"
