As the ground trembled, a tall female giant, dressed in a dark red robe, emerged from it.
This is a stone giant, about six or seven meters tall, holding a hammer that is about two meters long.
The hammer handle appears to be made of wood, but wood that can withstand the test of time is probably not ordinary wood.
The hammerhead was made of stone, looking like the most ordinary rock, but a rock that this giantess could use as a weapon was definitely not an ordinary rock.
She was the most exquisite work of art that neither humans nor Dwarves could have sculpted, because she was so delicate and refined that even the texture of her hair and skin was clearly visible, and she had a pair of moving eyes. The long white hair on her head was not as stiff as solid stone, but rather like a living thing, even though it was still stone.
Brann yelled and dashed up behind Jiang Jie, his eyes wide with curiosity and trepidation as he looked at everything before him. Jiang Jie, however, did not retreat an inch, scrutinizing the giantess who was walking towards him step by step.
" Ironaya..." A name escaped Jiang Jie's lips with a deep sigh.
The giantess before us is Ironaya.
She was the builder of this Titans dungeon, the sealer of countless Rockjaw Trogg, one of the builders of Tyr's Tomb, and the namer of Tirisfal Glades.
She is not Titan Keepers, but a powerful female giant, a follower of the Titan Keepers Tyr and Archaedas, and one of their best friends.
She is the oldest Stone Giants, not one of the first creations made by the Titan Keepers using the Forge of Wills, but an even older creation made by the Pantheon Titans themselves, in the same batch as several Titan Keepers. She is one of the few remaining Stone Giants after the war of the Old Gods.
In ancient times, due to the betrayal of another Titan Keepers, Loken the King of Wisdom, Tyr led them to steal the Disc of Norgannon and then fled.
In the northern part of the continent, now Tirisfal Glades, Tyr remained alone to confront the two most powerful servants of the Old Gods, while she and Archaedas, along with more Earthen and Mechagnomes, headed to Uldaman in the southern part of the continent to hide the Disc of Norgannon, which recorded Loken's crimes, there and build fortifications, hoping to one day hand it over to the Titans or an observer appointed by the Titans.
As time passed, the Curse of Flesh began to erode the Earthen and Mechagnomes.
To stop the Curse of Flesh, Archaedas personally sealed away the Earthen, but the Mechagnomes refused to be sealed—so the Mechagnomes transformed into flesh creatures earlier than the Earthen and left Uldaman earlier.
Time flowed by like water. Archaedas and Ironaya built fortifications to defend against Loken's attack while trying to find a cure for the Curse of Flesh, but they were helpless and could only continue meditating and researching.
In the eyes of the Titan Keepers, time is worthless; a single meditation can last for years, decades, centuries, or even millennia without them even noticing.
So the underground palace remained sealed off day and night, and they gradually faded from the sight of the Earthen and Mechagnomes, and no one ever saw them again.
Never underestimate Archaedas.
He inherited a portion of the power of the Titans Khaz'goroth, possessing divine power to control the earth and forge metal. Later, he channeled Khaz'goroth's power into the most powerful black dragon, Neltharion, thus giving birth to the Black Dragon Aspect.
In other words, he once possessed power greater than Neltharion!
He was the first Earth-Warder of Azeroth!
How powerful is it?
The earth Elemental Lords, Therazane the Stone Mother, was defeated by him and another Titan Keepers, Freya, working together.
As for the giantess Ironaya, being valued by both Titan Keepers, even if she is not as strong as them, she is not too weak either. She is equivalent to a second-tier Titan Keepers. Although she cannot possess the power to rival the Elemental Lords or the Dragon Aspect, she should not be inferior to any of the ancient dragons.
She is also a remarkable being, possessing a portion of the power to control the earth.
In terms of rank, she is more powerful than the Storm Giants and Stone Giants of Storm Peaks in Northrend, as she is one of the most respected stone giants, with a status comparable to many giant leaders.
But that was before.
Time is the most terrifying weapon in the world; it can destroy everything.
The Pantheon has long been Devastation, many Titans have fallen, and the Titan Keepers have disintegrated. As for Ironaya, who is hiding deep in the dungeon, his power has been severely depleted because he is far away from the Creator Engines. Although he is not as weak as he is portrayed in the game, he is definitely not as powerful as one might imagine.
She wouldn't be more powerful than Mannoroth or Tichondrius, but she was definitely stronger than Balnazzar. In Jiang Jie's opinion, she was roughly on par with the Maiden of Sorrow of the Halls of Stone and the Maiden of Virtue of Karazhan.
Just a regular Legendary level.
It's now just an ordinary Legendary creature, nothing more.
While such a character is worthy of Jiang Jie's attention, he no longer feels any fear or apprehension towards him.
But Jiang Jie doesn't want to fight Ironaya, so this battle can perhaps be avoided.
" Ironaya!" Jiang Jie tried to speak to the Female Titan, but what he was met with was the Female Titan's warhammer.
The giantess was enormous, but surprisingly fast. Her fighting style was aggressive and sweeping, with a series of hammer swings that forced Jiang Jie to dodge.
"She's lost her mind; time has made her lose her way... or perhaps, she's been driven mad!"
Regardless, since the female giant had made the first move, Jiang Jie naturally wouldn't passively take the hits and quickly launched his own attack.
He suddenly struck, and the divine sword Strom'kar accurately struck the giantess's shoulder. Stone chips flew everywhere, and the hard sword left a wound of about two centimeters on the giantess's shoulder. But when the sword left, the flying stone chips flew directly back to the wound and healed perfectly!
" The Stone Giants controls the power of the earth. As long as he stands on the ground, he possesses inexhaustible power, and his body can regenerate rapidly... but regeneration takes time, so we won't give you any time!"
Jiang Jie dodged the giantess's attack, using his speed advantage to get twenty meters behind her. He then gripped the divine sword tightly with both hands and quickly raised it.
The next moment, intense Phoenix Flames condensed and expanded on the sword, quickly transforming into a massive, nearly ten-meter-long flaming giant sword with unimaginable power.
The color was dull, a dark blue with a hint of purple. The Legendary power of the Shadow Phoenix " Pyralis " was completely concentrated in this sword, which then struck suddenly, once again hitting the giantess's shoulder.
" The Eastern Peak Sword, the Sword Splits Mount Tai!"
