Sword and Magic and Taxi

The Valar hid far away in Valinor, giving up half of Arda, and Melkor cast his power upon the land, so that everything here was twisted and diseased, looking ghastly.

Zhao Mai left the blue water and stepped onto the black rocky land covered with spikes and barbs. This ground is not for creatures to step on to gain support. Instead, it gnaws at the soles of the creatures' feet until the flesh and blood are slowly chewed and swallowed. Those creatures created by the goddess Yavanna, those beautiful plant-eating creatures, licked the salty, bitter water in the crevices of the rocks in vain because this was the only food available to them. They were covered in bruises, skinny as bones, and howled to death.

This disgusting ground! Zhao Mai stepped down hard, releasing the natural force and using the power of magic to purify Melkor's influence. Grass and trees began to grow wherever he went, and herbivorous animals smelled the fragrance of the grass and came one after another. They received treatment from the force of nature and slowly regained their vitality.

Zhao Mai walked inland, leaving a green corridor behind him. The corridor would still be corrupted and affected by Melkor's power, but it would at least temporarily provide shelter for creatures. More and more rabbits, deer, horses and sheep gathered behind him, and as he walked, there was less and less grass to eat. Eventually, they return to starvation and start chasing the force of nature in the hope of eating more. In the end, these animals tried to bite Zhao Mai and gain vitality directly from him. Because of this, Zhao Mai's ecosystem collapsed.

He transformed into a White Walker, and the coldness of death frightened the creatures. They fled in all directions and returned to the rugged rocks and thorns. Such a phenomenon attracted the attention of the Balrogs. They had huge shadowy bodies wrapped in black smoke, spiraling horns, and red eyes and nostrils. Although they were far apart, Zhao Mai and Yan Mo discovered each other.

This is the land of Morgoth! Maia, either join and surrender, or die! The Balrog walked towards Zhao Mai with heavy steps. The ground trembled with every step, and the sharp rocks were blown into pieces and flew to The air burned. Wherever the Balrog walked, lava flowed everywhere, and after cooling, it turned into rough rock. It conjured arms from the shadows, holding a flaming sword in its hands. A dazzling orange light shone, and the Balrog's shadow body became blurred accordingly.

All the Balrogs were the angels who followed Melkor under the influence of Melkor during the Great Movement. They were either Valar or Maia, so Zhao Mai said: Don't be kidding, you just broke me, I just returned Just go to Valinor, where is the death?

However, as a Balrog, he no longer talks about principles or learns, only destroys and executes Melkor's orders. The huge flaming sword slashed down diagonally, and the blade was twice as long as Zhao Mai's height. But now, how could Zhao Mai, who already had rich combat experience, be hit by a straight attack? He spotted the opponent's attack and advanced instead of retreating. He followed the direction of the Balrog's arm sideways and penetrated into its shoulders and armpits. That's where the Balrog's power comes from, where it's slowest and least threatening. Zhao Mai raised the lightsaber, turned on the maximum power mode, let the energy blade's drill penetrate into the Balrog's armpit, then rotated and cut, and removed its entire arm.

The Balrog's wounds were dark red lava, which quickly cooled to black and was then wrapped in shadow. It roared angrily, its shadow rolled and twisted, and a dark red whip appeared from its other hand. The flame whip is faster and the attack angle is more tricky, as if it has its own thoughts and life. Zhao Mai waved his lightsaber to block, originally intending to cut off the whip. Unexpectedly, after the two collided, the whip was only bounced away and was not damaged.

Didn't it cut off? Is this a whip made of pure energy? Zhao Mai was very interested. He did not kill Balrog immediately, but used flexible combat skills to dodge and delay so that he could have time to observe Balrog's weapons. He gradually discovered that the Balrog's whip was not made of any burning material, but was made by intertwining the concept of burning and the corresponding energy. The principle was somewhat similar to that of the White Walkers who combined the two powers of freezing and destruction. The ice weapon is just more pure.

The Balrog kept waving his whip and attacking, because he couldn't take down Zhao Mai, so he kept roaring angrily. It's so noisy! Zhao Mai decided to end the fight. He took advantage of the Balrog's mouth to create a javelin of ice and threw it in. The Balrog doesn't care, it believes that its flames can melt everything!

Then it exploded... Zhao Mai knew what would happen when high fever encountered freezing, so he started running out early and opened up a psychic barrier. In the continuous explosions, the Balrog's body made of shadows exploded from the inside out, and uncontrollable flames and smoke spread all around. The flame quickly cooled down, and in the end only a thick haze enveloped Zhao Mai.

The smell is still wrong. Zhao Mai spit out a mouthful of haze and waved his hand to attract wind to disperse it. The haze dispersed, but the earthquake came. The ground on all sides of him continued to rise, and black smoke spewed out from the cracks in the cracked rock. It twisted and gathered, and then was burned and ignited, turning into more than a dozen fire demons, surrounding Zhao Mai.

We are the Balor Balor of Morgoth! We are your doom! The Balrogs roared in unison, drawing out their flaming whips one after another, and dancing like a big net. The flames coming out of their bodies surrounded Zhao Mai, and the rising black smoke covered the sky and blocked the sun, even the air was blocked. As for the earth under his feet, Zhao Mai has clearly noticed that under the fragile crust, there is lava flowing freely. The flame demon sealed Zhao Mai in the middle, preparing to destroy and devour him.

Don't be so loud, okay? It's very noisy! Zhao Mai took out his ears and shook his head: The biggest advantage of having Saruman with a powerful voice next to you is that you have developed a pair of ears that don't believe what others say. You guys If anything happens, just call me, don’t yell, I can’t even hear my own song.”

Maiya, this land belongs to Morgoth! A Balrog raised his weapon high and shouted majestically: You will stop here and will not be able to move forward!

Hey, how did you know that I was about to say this line? Zhao Mai looked around at the Balrog with a lightsaber in one hand and an ice javelin in the other, stretched his neck, and suddenly rushed forward first.

The flame whip seems to block all directions, but Zhao Mai can always penetrate through the gaps and launch a counterattack. His gesture is weird, but when you think back, it feels very reasonable. Although in order to make it difficult for people to grasp, Zhao Mai did not adopt the most efficient and straightforward method, but it was a balanced strategy of offense and defense. Balrog keeps getting hurt, then falls, and then falls again. It didn't take long for Zhao Mai to eliminate the nine flame demons surrounding him, losing only some physical strength and some divine power.

Dark clouds are rolling in the sky, mixed with various extreme weather phenomena. Zhao Mai had seen this kind of celestial phenomenon before and knew it was Melkor. Sure enough, Melkor appeared in front of Zhao Mai in the form of Beta, stepped over the collapsed and melted corpse of the Balrog with his bare feet, and approached Zhao Mai with a smile.

Myron, you are here. You have already demonstrated your strength. None of the former Maya or the current Baloo are your opponents. No Ainu can look down on you anymore! She announced: From today on, You are my lieutenant, managing everything except me!
