Hero of Darkness

583 Two Dwarves

Kahn kept walking barefooted while the scorching heat in the atmosphere surrounding his body while his legs were burning as he stepped on the scalding hot tiles of the road that led towards the inner parts of this ginormous castle whose end he could not see. 

Unlike the buildings outside that were the normal-sized as any other settlement in the Vulcan empire… Even the entrance door of this castle itself was a couple of kilometers wide and the tiny Kahn akin to the size of an ant in front of these massive constructs could only see their ends. 

Hours and then days passed but Kahn tirelessly kept walking inside this castle that seemed to be the residence of unfathomable beings from the words he could hear. 

His haggard and dispirited expression were enough to understand how much pressure he was going through but still… his steps didn't stop at all. 

BOOM! 

BOOM! 

The previously clanging noises of the hammering and quenching had turned too loud and he could feel shockwaves traveling through the air and the ground. 

And finally one day… Kahn reached a wide and flattened ground with two ends placed only one kilometer away from each other and his gaze landed on two gigantic figures. 

In reality, Kahn was only standing at the entrance of a small door. And in front of him, were two gigantic dwarves busy forging. 

Based on his estimations, each one of the dwarves was 1 kilometer tall. Even the massive hammers and equipment they held in their hands were 200 to 300 meters long. 

And only after seeing these two individuals… Kahn finally regained his full consciousness and came to understand the situation around him. 

He quickly tried to exude his saint pressure but nothing came out of his body. His clothes, weapons, the space ring… he had none of them on his personnel. 

"Huh? 

How is this possible? After so many years?" spoke one of the dwarves who was donned in shining silver armor, two horns came out of his helmet and he held a hammer in his left hand while a long poleaxe in his right one. 

This titanic dwarf had a white braided beard while lightning ran across his armored body here and there as if it was something very natural. 

But the aura this dwarf gave… it was something unexplainable to Kahn. Something he had felt before but couldn't remember exactly where or when. 

"Two of them at the same time?" said the other dwarf who adorned a brown and green armor with two yellow wings on his helmet. 

This second gigantic dwarf held a golden warhammer in his hand while having a book strapped to his waist. 

The long and braided brown beard and white woolen cape differentiated his appearance from the former. 

"This has never happened before." said the first dwarf as he gave a look of surprise to the other one. 

"It's been more than 12 thousand years since a human appeared here. I guess they're not a lost cause at all." said the second ginormous dwarf. 

Kahn, who had broken through his trance finally got a hold of his thought process. 

[Two?] 

Just then, he looked to his left. 

And on the left and opposite side of this door that he entered from was… Blackwall. 

Blackwall was also discombobulated and regained control over his body just now. And he too was completely nude just like Kahn. 

[Blackwall, can you hear me?] asked Kahn through their telepathy link. 

[Master, where are you?] asked Blackwall in surprise. 

[On your right.] replied Kahn. 

Compared to the two gigantic figures, their bodies every like small sand grains. 

BOOM!! 

The next moment, Blackwall's body let out a massive burst of brown aura and his entire figure started transforming. 

And in just a minute… Blackwall returned to his original Kronos form and turned into a primordial titan as his height also rose 1 kilometer tall and matched the two dwarves. 

"Oh, this one… he isn't a human. 

Well… he isn't a true living being. A creation… a titan's bloodline, abilities and a Knight's skills. 

How odd." said the first dwarf. 

But without wasting any more time, the titan general quickly moved and picked up Kahn while plunging his hand into the ground as he used his innate abilities and pulled out a battleaxe from the ground. 

He placed Kahn on his shoulder and took a defensive stance against the two dwarves, both of their minds alert and wary of these two gigantic figures. 

Just then, the second dwarf squinted his eyes and focused his gaze on Kahn and just a moment later, they were left wide open. 

"Hah! 

Brother, for the first time… we have a chosen Hero entering our realm!" he joyfully exclaimed. 

"What?" asked the first dwarf and he too focused his attention on Kahn and had his mouth wide open after he too judged Kahn's characteristics. 

"Wait! They're connected by a soul chain. 

This Titan lad is that chosen Hero's creation." continued the first dwarf donned in silver armor. 

"How rare and amazing at the same time." spoke the second dwarf, who seemed to be the brother of the first one based on his words. 

"Who are you? And what is this place?" Kahn asked in a befuddled voice because he had no idea what was going on. 

All he remembered that he was lost in thoughts while performing quenching and suddenly, he lost his consciousness and the world around him turned blank. 

"Who are we? You're asking that question right inside our castle." said the second brother with a little laugh. 

Both Blackwall and Kahn were currently defenseless and if not for the Abyss Knight general, they wouldn't even be able to speak to these gigantic figures on equal height. 

Hence, they were prepared to tackle any type of attack if the situation arose. 

However, instead of showing any hostility towards these new uninvited guests, the dwarven brothers had no misgivings. 

"My name is Brokkr." introduced the first dwarf in silver armor and with a hammer. 

"My name is Eitri." spoke the second dwarf in brown and green armor with a golden warhammer in hand. 

"You can call us…" 

They both let out a smug smile and spoke in unison. 

"Deities of Blacksmithing."
