At first, Thotmudo couldn’t believe it. But as he recalled the shattered gate and the expression on Claudio’s face, he had no choice but to reluctantly come to terms with this reality.

Claudio Blackiron didn’t waste a moment and kept talking, his words speeding up, clearly knowing his time was running out.

He answered Thotmudo’s doubts one by one, revealing the buried secrets of that year.

“…The Deceiver was the mastermind behind the fall of Black Iron Fortress…”

The Deceiver?

Thotmudo’s pupils shrank. The Deceiver, a group of godless rats living in the sewers, was known for their shady activities, but how could they have the power to conquer the formidable Black Iron Fortress?

His breath hitched, and he continued reading.

“…The Deceiver summoned a hellfire demon with power surpassing epic levels through large-scale sacrifices and made some kind of deal with it. Together, they attacked Black Iron Fortress, and the Dwarven Shield was destroyed by this demon…

…To stop this terrifying demon, I and Theod Black Iron, another epic-level hero of Blackiron Fortress, were seriously injured. In the end, even though we used every means, we successfully delayed the demon until the world’s rules expelled it back to hell.

However, this exposed a vulnerability, and Theod Blackiron was killed by an evil-aligned epic hero brought by The Deceiver.

As for me, I was struck by a dagger tainted with the curse of a dark god’s power, both my body and soul suffering a terrible curse.

With such a curse upon me, there was no way I could survive. The downfall of the Black Iron Fortress had become an irreversible fact. So, I forced myself to come here and tell everything, hoping that the surviving dwarves would know what happened here.”

At this point, Claudio Blackiron’s face, already dark, became even more serious.

“Whether you’re a dwarf who found your way here or belong to another race, please keep in mind, don’t let The Deceiver discover your presence or your knowledge of what transpired in this place. Otherwise, those fanatics who hold an intense hatred for all deities, all divine races, and divine entities will stop at nothing to hatch sinister plots aimed at taking your life.

Cough… I’ve said almost everything. I feel that my life is coming to an end. Cough, cough…

Oh, by the way, cough, cough, cough… You might be able to secretly find Thotmudo Blackiron. He’s the only dwarf epic hero who survived this catastrophe in the Black Iron Fortress. He’s a formidable force you can rely on, with forging skills second only to mine.”

Claudio Blackiron showed a hint of sigh on his face. “Back then, I said the three of us, and Thotmudo, the most foolish but luckiest dwarf, would definitely be the one to survive until the end. It turns out that it’s really the case, quite remarkable…”

At this moment, the light curtain closed, and the chamber fell into boundless silence.

After a while, a voice slowly echoed in the chamber.

“In the name of Thotmudo Blackiron, I swear to the gods that I will avenge you and Black Iron Fortress, and exterminate The Deceiver!

The Deceiver, those sewer rats, are highly likely to still exist… Ji Chen that kid carries a distinctly pure divine aura. He might have been able to stay concealed on the remote island, but as soon as he steps foot on the mainland, he’s bound to draw their notice…

Not good, I’ve heard that he’s planning to visit the mainland soon. I need to hurry and remind him to prevent him from suffering any losses..”
