Soul of Burning Steel

Through the winding corridors and corridors, Joshua came to the rear part of this huge floating ship.

At present, there are sixty-seven crew members on the Gale, and twelve professional service personnel responsible for maintaining and guarding the mana furnace core. Along the way, the soldiers encountered many service personnel who were checking the ship's data back and forth. They were all professional spellcasters. Or it was an engineering expert who looked so serious during the inspection that he didn't even notice the soldiers passing by.

The Gale's two mana furnaces are located in the middle of the ship, where the armor is thickest. For the convenience of energy supply, most of its core components are also located in the front half, and a rectangular space in the back half is the cargo hold. Naturally, it is also a transport warehouse for transporting soldiers.

The cargo compartment has a large space. According to the design, it is enough to hold 60 people from two standard teams, plus all kinds of weapons and equipment they need. If necessary, special equipment can also be modified to transport more people.

And just before approaching the cabin, Joshua stopped, frowned and looked forward.

The scorching air flow twisted the air, and a heat wave visible to the naked eye came from the other end of the tunnel, causing all the surrounding moisture to dissipate. The soldier could feel that the moisture on the surface of his skin had been evaporated by the heat flow, and the clothes on his body It has also begun to have a tendency to burn, or even burn.

"It's not just fever - the fire elementals are rioting!"

With a click, Joshua turned his head and squinted at the silver-haired girl who had been following behind him. The soldier probably understood why Hotaru's expression was so ugly before - if the heat flow emitted by Kuro has always been at this level, then Even Shenji's psionic body would be affected, making them feel uncomfortable.

"The next time you encounter something like this, come and talk about it earlier." Patting Yingying's head, the soldier shook his head, and simply walked towards the cargo hold: "If the temperature continues to rise, it may damage the hull. But it's a disaster."

The cargo compartment uses a magic door that uses recognition magic, and Joshua, as the owner of the Gale, has the highest level of authority, so he opened the cargo compartment door neatly, and after that, the soldiers saw it at a glance. Black that huge body.

This is a gigantic monster nearly twenty meters high. Even if it bends down due to physical discomfort and lies on the ground, it still occupies half of the space in the cargo hold. There was transmission from its body, and the warrior even vaguely saw a few sparks floating in the air.

Now Hei was lying on the spot, and seemed to have passed out, otherwise, it would definitely react to Joshua's appearance—according to the old habit, it would probably be a couple of licks.

"It's too uncomfortable, it's just a self-preservation instinct after a coma."

With just one glance, Joshua understood the current situation. He knew that this matter was easy to solve, so the soldier turned his head to look at the silver-haired girl, and said directly, "Firefly, give me the Shape-changing Pendant."

"OK!"

After hearing the soldier's request, Ying hurriedly took out a silver V-shaped pendant from her pocket, and she handed the pendant to Joshua. Then the girl raised her head slightly, looked at the soldier with green eyes, and asked worriedly. Said: "Master, how is Hei now?"

"It's okay, just look at it being able to set fire with such vigor. The current situation is probably sleepwalking."

Sensing the magic power in the pendant, Joshua nodded, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Firefly, after I turn Hei into a normal body, go to the storage room and find some thin frost grass for it." Eat, this thing has a miraculous effect on dizziness and high altitude discomfort, and there must be one on board."

After finishing the order, he simply stepped forward and walked towards Hei.

Although the Changing Pendant is called a pendant, it does not actually need to be worn around the neck. As long as the magic on it is triggered, it will be the same no matter where the pendant is hung. Originally, this needs to be triggered by the user himself , but due to black coma, Joshua could only do it for him.

When the size becomes smaller, it is also convenient for him to treat the dragon's seasickness,

Joshua came to the side of the half-dragon. At this time, the temperature of the air was close to the temperature around the volcano. Behind the black carapace of the giant beast flowed golden-red veins like magma, which contained hot energy enough to melt steel. The warrior You know, this is actually black blood. Gold-level ancient dragon blood descendants are no longer mortal things, but genuine extraordinary lives. What flows in their bodies is no longer pure blood, but a powerful energy carrier .

What people usually call the blood of the ancient dragon is actually the essence of this carrier, which contains unimaginable energy, but it is difficult for people without dragon blood inheritance to use it.

Putting his hand on the black carapace, Joshua adjusted the rhythm of his breathing, mobilized the battle energy in his body with will, to suppress Hei's current instinctive self-preservation behavior.

Compared with gold, the power of the ultimate level is not stronger than a single star, but all-round suppression, even if one side is a human and the other is a dragon. The black and red fighting spirit representing Joshua is shining brightly. A depressive atmosphere spread, and the heat wave sweeping the entire cargo hold stopped instantly, and the pure life force locked the restless fire element firmly in place, unable to move.

The temperature dropped in an instant, and after being suppressed, Hei became much calmer. The lava pattern on his body was slowly fading, and the half-dragon's hideous face, which was originally in a coma, also softened a lot. Seeing this scene, Joshua withdrew his hand in satisfaction: "It's fine."

Even if the dragon is sleeping, the magic power in the body will leak out, preventing other creatures from approaching itself. It is said that some powerful dragons can sleep for hundreds of years. In special areas such as ice lakes and forests, this kind of magic power also has the function of warning and protection, and can spontaneously resist some weak spells.

The shrinking spell drawn on the Shape-changing Pendant is naturally one of them, so Joshua needs to break down the resistance of the black instinct so that it can be made smaller.

But just as the warrior held the v-shaped pendant in his hand and was about to trigger the magic in it, and used it on the half-dragon who was still unconscious in front of him, he suddenly stopped the movement in his hand.

Hotaru, who had been watching from the side, naturally discovered this problem. She looked at the soldier with green eyes in a strange way, as if she wanted to ask what was going on, but the girl immediately noticed that Joshua's side face had a strange expression, as if I found something strange.

One person, one dragon, and one divine machine all stopped moving at the same time.

So the entire cargo hold suddenly became quiet, the heat wave was gone, and only the heartbeats of soldiers and dragons could be heard. Generally speaking, the heartbeat of the dragon should be louder, but in fact, But the heartbeat of the warrior overwhelmed the sound of the dragon, it even overwhelmed the slight roar of the battleship, it was clear and strange.

"Boom—boom!"

The heavy, powerful sound of blood beating reverberated in the spacious cabin. Joshua withdrew his right hand holding the V-shaped pendant, and pressed it to his chest suspiciously: "This is... what?"

The soldier just felt that an inexplicable force suddenly surged in his body.

It is different from the power of life like battle qi, and it is also completely different from the power of order. It does not originate from the body, nor does it originate from belief and soul. This strange power that comes from nowhere seems to be there from the beginning , as long as Joshua still exists in this world, it will always exist.

"……power?"

In just an instant, the warrior understood the nature of this sudden surge of power. Feeling the rapid flow of this unknown power in his body, he murmured to himself: "The residual steel... a gift from the world of Ilgna— —It suddenly surged at this time?"

But why?

Joshua is now an extremely strong man. In a sense, his body is a physical fortress armed to the extreme. Every joint, bone, tendon, muscle fiber, and even blood flow The unimaginable life force of ordinary people surged around Joshua's body in a wonderful rhythm along with Joshua's breathing, forming a variety of strange effects.

It can resist high temperature, repel flow arrows, resist severe cold, make the body indestructible, and give the owner the power to move mountains-the cycle of life energy is so wonderful that it can cause effects no less than magic.

But now, there is a force gushing out from the warrior's heart. It ignores the majestic fighting energy and the rhythm of breathing, and moves in the body on its own. It is so special that it cannot be restrained at all. And always want to rush out of the body and release myself.

"Is it because the Azure Orb has merged into my body? No, it's not for this reason."

Joshua recalled that in the world of Ilgna, in order to fight against the evil god of natural disasters, he once again entered the state of the king of burning souls, and integrated the azure orb into his body. The warrior did block the attack of the evil god, but after the battle, the orb disappeared. It didn't come out, but it didn't know where the fusion was.

Thinking about it now, it should be in the heart. For such a long time, because no accident happened, and the soldiers didn't know how to solve this matter, so it has been shelved, but now, the power of power unexpectedly appeared, but let Joshua fell into a passive state.

"—Firefly, stay away."

In order to prevent his uncontrollable power from affecting others, Joshua retreated to the corner of the cargo hold. He frowned and asked the silver-haired girl who was approaching to go a little further: "The situation is a bit strange now, you Be careful first."

"……Yes Master!"

Although Joshua's words were serious, his aura was steady, so Ying, who was a little worried, obediently walked away. She stood at the door of the cargo hold, stretching her head from time to time to look at her master.

The magic girl couldn't sense the weird power in the warrior's body, just like other people couldn't see the fragments of burning steel and the leftovers of residual steel.

The fighters were at a stalemate at this point.

The power of uncontrollable power surged through him. It is almost free from any restraints. Unless he keeps concentrating all the time, he can't even suppress it. It is extremely active and seems to want to come out of the body very much. Joshua has no idea that this force gushes out and causes What kind of consequences, so it can only be suppressed inside the body.

But this seems to be counterproductive. This power seems to be naturally released, and it cannot be restrained at all. Even with the will of the warrior, it was only restrained for less than three minutes.

"Tsk."

Feeling that he couldn't stop it at all, Joshua frowned, and released it simply. He guided this force to his left hand, and then pressed it against the wall of Gale's cargo hold.

All this was so sudden that the soldier felt very strange. He felt that there was some small problem with the Azure Orb in his body, which affected the agitation of the power bestowed on him by the will of Ilgna World, but Qiao Xiu Ya can't find the reason.

"Perhaps something has changed in the inheritance of other sages."

The soldier calmly analyzed in his heart that when his Azure Orb was fully awakened, it did affect Brandon's Order Twin Blades. According to what the old Pope Eagle said, the pure white scepter also moved slightly, which is enough to prove that the inheritance There is this kind of strange resonance among things: "I don't know if it's the Juggernaut friend, or there is something wrong with the church."

This is a normal guess. Since he returned to the mainland of Mycroft, the power gifted by the world of Ilgna has not moved at all. Joshua has tried it before, but he has not found a way to use it. However, the warrior originally He didn't care much, so he didn't pay attention after a few experiments. He really didn't expect that because of the change of the Azure Orb, the power of this power suddenly became active, as if some conditions had been activated.

Perhaps - because of the power of order?

All these thoughts happened in a fraction of a second. After thinking about it, Joshua raised his head and looked at the wall of the cargo hold.

After being injected with his share power, the steel-cast wall began to undergo a strange change. On its silver-gray case, crystal grains like broken glass began to appear, and the grains quickly disappeared. It spread, covering a wall of about two square meters, and then stopped expanding.

Joshua looked at the crack seriously, he knew that the power of this power was far more than that, and just as he thought, in the broken crystal grains, flashing lines of light began to gradually light up, black and white. The red light flickered, bringing a weird atmosphere to the entire cargo hold.

Yingying at the door also noticed this change, she gently covered her mouth, and stared at this scene with wide eyes.

"Crack."

With a soft sound, the wall produced obvious changes. With the tooth-piercing sound of metal friction, the light-patterned wall of about two square meters began to squirm gradually. It bulged like life, and then separated from the wall—— ——At this point, you can see its whole picture. It is a huge iron block two meters high, one meter long, and 0.75 meters high.

It is entwined with black and red, spider web-like light patterns. Some kind of strange power surges in these light patterns, and it is transforming this ordinary piece of iron, making it deform little by little.

"Crack-crack-crack!"

Just like fingernails scraping metal, the noise produced by the friction between glass and glass made people cover their ears, but Joshua didn't care. He stepped forward, approached the iron block, then stretched out his hand, and poured water into it again. A little bit of power in the body.

This time, all the restless power and energy were released, and the iron block also quickly produced obvious changes.

"Zi————"

As if shaped by a pair of invisible hands, the huge iron block underwent a huge change in just a few seconds. Its square shape showed the rudiments of a head and limbs, and then it completely became a tall man. humanoid.

It has no facial features on its head, only a fist-sized black and red spot, its limbs and body are extremely strong, and the black and red lines flash rhythmically on it, as if it is breathing.

"Zi——"

The metal figure stood quietly on the spot, staring at Joshua with the spot of light on its head, then naturally bent down to express its submission.

"……firefly."

"Is... the master?"

Hearing Joshua's voice, the silver-haired girl froze for a moment, then quickly replied, "What are your orders?"

"You take the Changing Pendant and try to activate Hei."

Throwing the V-shaped pendant in his hand to Yingying, Joshua looked at the piece of steel life in front of him, and said with great interest, curiosity flickered in his eyes: "I have other things to do now."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to press the obedient metal life.
