Soul of Burning Steel

Wherever I go, there is blood and death.

Because the battle itself means the defeat of one side.

...But, I couldn't stop.

Anything can be used as a reason to fight—to protect the person you love, to protect the world you love, if you think about it, you can find any reason, no matter how noble.

But that's just the reason.

A friend of mine said that the desire to fight drove me crazy...but it wasn't.

Only fighting can satisfy my thirst; only the blood of the enemy can restrain my anger——

The bone-shattered arm gripped the spear tightly, and his divine power oscillated, causing waves in the surrounding light. Joshua stood with his head held high in midair, maintaining the black beam of light that pierced the sky.

At this time, he is a part that transmits divine power, whether it is hands, feet, body or brain, any organ has turned into a cold machine, in order to better transform divine power into a beam of destructive light and continue to operate, even if it is It was about to wear out, and it had to withstand the huge meteorite that day.

The soldier stood motionless like this, allowing the long river of soul light to pour into his body and permeate his limbs and bones. It wasn't that he didn't notice this, but he was already powerless to react to it.

But just as the soul light penetrated his whole body, Joshua felt a little warmth.

It was a pulsation and warmth from the heart.

The heart that had stopped beating long ago, and became the core of divine power, trembled slightly for a moment, which made the soldier tremble. He could no longer control his body that was about to be completely destroyed by divine power, but now he suddenly had a little strength.

The heart pulsates, transmitting miraculous power, which is full of enthusiasm and firmness of life, making the cold machine turn into a human body again.

This power was originally weak, like a gurgling river, but soon, the infinite soul light gathered and turned into a mighty river. Joshua took a deep breath, and the heat that had already been transpired by divine power poured into his lungs along his throat , brought an unusually hot pain, but this pain stimulated his spirit instead, making the soldier completely awake.

At this moment, he understood the reason and cause of everything.

"Is that so... You don't want to die so worthless."

Muttering softly, Joshua, who had just been pulled back from the border of death, exhaled bloody hot air, turned his head, and the warrior looked at the surge of soul waves beside him, their soul light even overwhelmed him. The brilliance of divine power gathered around him like stars.

Feeling the persistence of the dead, Joshua's eyes reflected the figures of countless elves. Millions of souls encouraged him to move on. Feeling this expectation and hope, a wild smile gradually appeared on the corner of the soldier's mouth—— —Looking up at the sky, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the rock formations, looking directly at the evil god's body, Joshua laughed wantonly: "This is the end, how can I let you down!"

Anger, hatred, destruction, always, such a life is too boring——

The sword forged from iron, the armor forged from steel, the feeling of coldness touching the skin is always uncomfortable, always in contact with blood and fire, and now even the scent of flowers cannot be recognized.

Therefore, even a man who was born for war occasionally wants to fight in a different way and for a different reason!

The quaint dragon-hunting sword and spear shook slightly, and the black beam of light around it trembled endlessly. The huge meteorite immediately pressed down, and the terrifying coercion was accompanied by the gust of wind, blowing away a layer of soil on the surface, Luo Lan Both Da and Hei turned their heads, resisting the strong pressure. Even the canopy of the Father of Nature shook violently, and countless fallen leaves fell from the branches.

It's about to fall!

Just when their hearts were cold and they felt that everything was irreversible, a light golden thread suddenly appeared in the black beam of light, which was different from the black divine light full of destructive aura. But it is extremely tough, as if it can resist all dangers.

And at the core of the beam of light, Joshua held the spear tightly with both hands. The gray spear was formed by the fusion of a silver greatsword and a black giant ax with golden patterns flowing on it, and the blue crown imprint on his forehead completely submerged into the soldier's chest. In the body, it disappears.

Fighting - not for anger, but for bearing, not for destruction, but for protection.

So I am willing to take over the power of the gods, use the inheritance of the sages, and fight against chaos and evil gods for the world and all living beings——

So far, my gun is invincible, and everything is invincible!

Laughing, the man raised his spear, a little golden light lit up in the sky, and then it bloomed, shining like stars.

The Meteorite, which was about to be pressed down, suddenly stopped its momentum. The beam of light doped with black gold became extremely solid, and even pushed it upwards back to the sky. Layers of sacred runes emerged one after another around it.

"Crack——"

With a crisp sound, countless cracks began to spread on the surface of the meteorite. Under the impact of the increasingly powerful beam of light, the huge rock blocks began to shatter gradually, disintegrating bit by bit, turning into sparks and chaotic black air all over the sky.

"Crack!!!"

There was another crisp sound, and the paladin and the half-dragon raised their heads. They stared at the falling star in shock. The solid rock layer made a series of cracking sounds one after another, and just as dense cracks ran through the entire meteorite, At that time, time seemed to stand still at this moment. Under the impact of endless light, accompanied by a loud noise that resounded through the world, the World Exterminating Star hanging over the world of Irgna exploded.

Countless fragments of stars fell to the ground in an arc, accompanied by dense explosions, and countless light spots lit up among the mountains. They brought up dust clouds and ignited fires, causing great damage and devastating shock waves After sweeping half of the world and destroying everything along the way, this is already the best result compared to the entire fall of the Ten Plagues.

And at the same time as he smashed the meteorite, Joshua spewed out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and the blood that shone with pale golden brilliance was evaporated by the high-heat divine power in an instant, and an endless stream of soul light flew out from his back, turning into A long river of light returned to the canopy of the father of nature, and the warrior fell to the ground together with the fragments of the meteorite like a kite with a broken string.

In mid-air, the brilliance of magic power flashed, and the dragon-hunting sword and gun first decomposed into a silver sword and a black giant axe, and then turned back into a silver-haired girl and a black-haired boy. The two caught the body of the warrior, and then carefully landed on the ground.

"Master's body?!"

Because of frequent contact, Ying immediately noticed something was wrong. Originally, Joshua's body was unusually heavy. It was a steel-like body that had undergone countless tempering. Once in contact with it, she would never forget that kind of weight and firmness. But now, the warrior's body is so light, like a burnt firewood, only light ashes are left.

And Rin immediately turned Joshua's body over, and the two gasped at the same time——

What a terrifying sight, the warrior's body shone with a blurred light of divine power, and his two arms and half of his chest were completely turned into bones without a trace of flesh and blood, through the white ribs, he could even Seeing the slow beating heart behind.

If it wasn't for the beating of the heart, they were still alive as the contract gods, no matter who they were, they would think that Joshua was dead.

Lolanda and Hei, who were not far away, also rushed over quickly. The paladin opened his eyes wide the moment he saw the soldier's body. It was not that he had never seen such a terrifying injury, but with this Those who were still alive were unheard of, so he ignored the nervousness and unbelievability, so he immediately asked Ying and Rin to lay Joshua on Hei's back, while he manipulated the Holy Light to treat Joshua.

But the holy white healing light flickered, but Joshua's wound did not respond. A halo of halo isolated the holy light and covered the soldier's wound. The remaining divine power prevented Joshua's blood from flowing out. The passage of time temporarily maintained the life of the soldier who was about to be exhausted, but it also hindered the treatment of others.

"Damn it, why is it useless at all?!"

Half-kneeling on Hei's back, Lolanda's head was covered with tense cold sweat, his eyes were full of uneasiness and fear, the holy light in the hands of the paladin changed its shape back and forth, the runes flickered, and various gods The magic technique and the holy light secret technique were used, but everything disappeared without a trace.

It wasn't until the end that he gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "No, I can't help it at all!"

Ying and Rin, who were originally watching from the sidelines, had already made psychological preparations during the non-stop treatment of the paladins. When Loranda finished speaking, they immediately turned their heads to look at the giant tree, which is the father of nature. in the direction.

"……come over."

After giving all his divine power, he took back the souls of the elves again. The exhausted god of elves was silent for a while, and then slowly communicated with his spirit. His will contained complicated emotions: "Come closer, Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to observe it thoroughly."

And Hei immediately stepped towards the Father of Nature. Its steps were as fast as possible while being steady. The half-dragon carefully watched the master on his back, hoping that his actions would not affect his situation.

And when Hei came within a few thousand meters of the Father of Nature, he felt a huge and irresistible force lifting him up. The half-dragon quickly realized that this was the manifestation of the mighty power of the gods, and let the other party Act as.

And a grand will swept across, and the father of nature fell into deep thought.

"...the entanglement of divine power."

After thinking for a while, he said slowly: "The souls of all living beings gathered together before, and produced a miracle that even I can't understand. This miracle changed the nature of the divine power, allowing Joshua to crush the meteorite that fell from the evil god, but Today, these divine powers are no longer those I lent him."

The ancient god cautiously narrated his own judgment: "The human body cannot carry divine power, and even the ultimate power of awakening can only endure for a while, so his body was burned, leaving only the toughest bones, but these bones Now it has some divinity due to the entanglement of divine power, so the power of the mortal world cannot heal the wounds on it."

"Then His Majesty the Father of Nature—"

Rin couldn't help raising his head, looking at the giant tree, his voice was full of pleading: "Can you cure Master?"

On the side, other people also looked up at the giant tree.

And the branches of the Father of Nature swayed slightly, and He said solemnly and affirmatively: "Yes."

But before everyone cheered, the giant tree said again: "But not now."

Immediately, the scene became quiet, as if aware of the atmosphere, the Father of Nature immediately explained: "Look around you."

Hearing this, everyone looked around.

The Ten Plagues Star was shattered by the beam of light, turning into countless fragments and falling to the ground. It ignited the forest, causing terrifying wounds on the ground, and the smoke and dust full of chaotic atmosphere also scattered around, killing all the lucky ones All that survives.

The time-space rift in the sky has been completely sealed, and the chaotic world full of twisted darkness seems to have gone away. After the big star descended, the evil god of natural disasters left this world without hesitation, but the wounds it left still remain. Purify these soot and meteorite fragments, then this world will still become dead and silent, no longer suitable for living things.

Even Ying and Rin couldn't comment on what the Father of Nature did.

"The human possibility really blows my mind."

The Father of Nature looked at Joshua's body, and said with emotion: "With courage without fear of pain, and unshakable persistence in belief, this human being can be called a great warrior even in the Glorious Era. "

Although the silver-haired girl was still worried about the soldier's injuries, she couldn't help being proud of her master after hearing the god's unsparing praise, but looking at Joshua's arm that had turned into a bone, Ying couldn't help but sigh. There was still a burst of sadness in my heart that couldn't stop.

If praise required such a price, she would rather not have it, and as weapons they were protected unscathed by the warriors intentionally, which made the girl feel especially ashamed.

It is simply the greatest shame to let the master be hurt instead of oneself.

Without keeping everyone waiting, a green ray of light surged from the canopy of the Father of Nature again, and the sacred rune appeared, activating the purification network covering the entire world. The dead world also began to come back to life.

The elves hidden in the deepest part of the underground shelter sensed the changes in the outside world. Some brave people moved away the gravel blocking the exit, and went out carefully to observe the outside world. They were shocked to see the stone demons that turned into lifeless stone sculptures. , followed by bursts of cheers.

Although there are no more than ten remaining elves, and most of them are in the best-preserved central area of ​​the bay, after all, the seeds of civilization are still there. After thousands of years, this place may become a prosperous world again.

The Father of Nature, having finished his cleansing work, turned his attention to the warriors.

The divine power that crushed the Ten Calamities Star basically came from him. The warriors just converted it into a power that is more suitable for destruction, so the father of nature is extremely tired now. After barely purifying the chaotic breath of the whole world, he is about to Reach your limit.

But in any case, the final task must be done well.

Once again, emerald green, life-filled divine power emerged around the warrior, this time not instilling power, but a god exerting healing powers.

Accompanied by Lolanda's exclamation, Ying and Rin's joyful cheers, and Hei's excited neighing, on Joshua's body, the originally missing flesh and blood are growing out of the bones that shone with blurred brilliance. It didn't take long, as if a miracle had reappeared, a perfect and strong body appeared in everyone's eyes.

Regardless of listening to the cheers of the crowd, the Father of Nature seemed to have exhausted his remaining power. It seemed that because the Azure Orb was completely integrated into the warrior's body, healing Joshua's body took much more energy than he imagined.

His time to return to sleep is at hand.

——Perhaps it will be another tens or hundreds of years of sleep.

It thought of those elves who came out of the ruins, and it was full of regrets.

I can't accompany those children out of the predicament, as a god, I am really negligent...

Thinking of this, he used his last strength to open a portal in front of everyone.

The faint blue light flickered, and the space-time channel opened its own door, and behind it was the familiar scenery of the Great Ajax Mountain Range.

"I opened a portal according to the coordinates where you came to this world."

The grand will has begun to be a little blurred, and the father of nature said in a weaker and weaker voice: "Go quickly, return to your world, return to your hometown..."

"Hei, hurry up!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Lolanda knew that this was not the time to be polite. When Joshua was away, he shouldered the responsibility of commanding. After thanking the Father of Nature, he didn't have time to say anything more, so he let Hei quickly walked through the space-time channel and returned to the Mycroft Continent.

And just after they left the world of Ilgna, the Father of Nature immediately closed the space-time channel. He was silent for a long time, and then let out a sigh that he didn't know whether it was satisfaction or regret.

"My friend, this time, I didn't escape..."

After speaking, the emerald green network that originally covered the entire world suddenly lost its light, and the infinite blue light spots spread across the world with the gust of wind, bringing the breath of life, while the emerald green leaves hanging on the huge treetops turned gray and turned into stone flakes. Gray spread on the branches and main poles of the giant trees, forming large swaths of rock formations.

Not long after, the body of the Father of Nature turned into a huge rocky tree like the original underground, standing above the ground.

The god fell into a deep sleep again.

But as long as the elf is in crisis, no matter what the situation is, he will wake up again.

...

[Mythical Event - Ten Calamities Star]

[The 71st year of the federal calendar, 1315 of the ancient calendar, Sigma Volcano. Visitors from different worlds came to the world of Ilgna. They helped the elves resist the army of stone demons, and gradually discovered the traces of chaos behind them. Finally, at the ruins of the miracles in the Origin Mountain Range, with the help of the ancient elf god, the newborn The King of Burning Soul raised his spear high, and with the support of the soul light of all beings, defeated the Chaos invasion that crossed the border. 】

[Mythical Achievement - World Savior]

【——A person who bears the expectations of all beings and is fearless. 】

...

Holding the hands of his parents, an elf child walked out of the passage of the underground refuge in a daze.

The child looked around blankly, the familiar streets disappeared, the houses turned into debris, and rocks and dirt were all he could see.

Under the destruction of stone demons and meteorites, his hometown became a dilapidated ruin. He was still young and couldn't understand why, but he could feel a little uneasiness from the sudden clasping of his parents' hands.

But why?

They are still alive - although they don't understand what death is, any elf understands that even if the grass leaves are pulled out, as long as the roots are still there, it won't take long for emerald green to appear on the soil again.

A cyan light floated down from the sky, and the young elf couldn't help pulling his hands out of his parents' palms to catch the light.

It's like winter will pass, and then there will be spring full of hope.

This is the everlasting light of hope.
