Soul of Burning Steel

"what happened?!"

The black dragon's breath quickly dissipated in silence. Nervously, Hill opened his eyes, only to see above the white ark, his blue dragon partner was looking up at the red flash that suddenly appeared in the midair, this group of light suddenly appeared above the sea of ​​blood, releasing a commanding An ominous breath of uneasiness.

The elf boy couldn't look directly at the light, but Robzek and Hei could smell something wrong from it, especially the black dragon girl, who vaguely sensed a certain familiar smell from this terrifying breath.

Fina frowned. Under the light of blood, she felt that her spirit, which was not very good, was getting lower and lower. A kind of fear hidden deep in her heart began to slowly spread, which made this blue dragon lady I couldn't help asking: "Mr. Robzek, what exactly is this?"

Withdrawing the flame of holy brilliance that resisted the dragon's breath, the extreme-level paladin leaned on the seal-like Hill, and looked up at the sky with cold sweat on his head. Within a few seconds of this conversation, a red light had formed in midair A huge light and shadow vaguely formed the one eye of a giant god, and it seemed to be a simple but mysterious rune.

"Divinity."

Robzek said softly, he had already arrived at the ultimate intention, and he was the head of the Holy Hammer Knights of the Church of the Seven Gods, and he said in an extremely complicated tone: "Fighting, destroying, killing... pure and pure, without any rejection... ..."

The paladin turned his head sideways and looked at the black dragon girl who had already noticed it.

——Your master is really amazing.

Above the sea of ​​blood, Mandagal's gray dragon pupils magnified. It stared at the red light in front of it, and long-lost fear spread from its spine.

The crystal black dragon didn't know what was going on with the fighter, but just by sensing the dangerous aura from the fighter, it felt that its life was threatened.

"Roar!"

Accompanied by the roar of the giant dragon, the sonorous dragon language was chanted rapidly, and more than eighty dark golden light spots appeared all over Mandagal in an instant. It became a dazzling ball of light.

Each ball of light is the incarnation of a spiritual node accumulated by the black dragon, and it bears the energy of Mandagar, the extreme-level dragon with a full blow. Nearly a hundred substantive spiritual nodes mean that it can simultaneously Using nearly a hundred big spells, this is one of the magic dragon's biggest trump cards. It was originally not intended to be used in this kind of place, but now that the situation is critical, Mandagal can only go all out.

Without the slightest hesitation, the countless spots of light swimming rapidly beside the dragon stopped for an instant, and they spewed dazzling golden-red beams of light toward the center of the red light, like streams of red-hot steel, passing by. Ripples and vibrations in the space, the atmosphere has obvious distortions visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with golden-red light.

But Joshua didn't respond.

There was a layer of red flame flowing all over his body, standing in mid-air, motionless, but the golden beams of light that were enough to dry up the lake and cut off the river hit him, but they splashed and cracked like water splashes. Collapsing forward, it was deflected, deflected, blocked, and resisted. No matter what the black dragon did, this seemingly ordinary red barrier was always indestructible.

The warrior's eyes, already occupied by scarlet, lifted up and locked on Mandagar. The astonishing coercion spread, and everyone couldn't help the alarm bells ringing in their hearts. There were countless circuits of rays of light emerging from his body, like blood glows. Lightning bolts bloomed around his body, and blue light flickered in his heart, beating with his heartbeat.

And the next moment.

He moved.

--boom!

The red light curtain spread out at this instant, covering most of the sky above the blood moon, and the terrifying roar overwhelmed all the sounds, making the world stagnate, and a stream of light flew past, piercing through many vibrations.

Behind this streamer, the air was ignited, the flames churned like waves, and the terrifying power fluctuations spread, even creating a powerful storm that spread tens of kilometers, comparable to a fourteenth-level typhoon, and it hit the unavoidable The Crystal Demon Dragon, a flaming hand pressed against its waist, and then a frightening force burst out, pushing it into the pitch-black void above the blood moon.

No one can calculate how powerful this power is. The only thing that can be known is that the magic dragon disappeared from the sight of everyone on the ark in an instant, and became a red star more than ten kilometers away.

Mandagal roared and wanted to break free from the shackles of his waist, but he was helpless against the shackles like iron pincers like a baby. Under the impact of continuous explosions, its wings were completely shattered immediately, and its crystallized limbs and tail Countless fragments were also scattered under the high heat and friction. The originally proud and indestructible body of the magic dragon was so fragile under such impact.

But the force that pushed it didn't stop, it vented and brought the dragon back and forth in the atmosphere, leaving behind long-lasting red bands of light, and the continuous impact continued to wear down the dragon's body, Let the crystal fragments that make up its body be destroyed one after another.

——It is more effective than fighting spirit, fists, and swords. With hundreds of millions of living crystal fragments forming one's own body, Mandagar can indeed be said to be indestructible, even if it is an attack that can kill a dragon with one blow At most, it would let it lose part of its body. Joshua fought with it for a long time, but it only wore away 23.52% of the dragon's body mass.

Now, in just a few seconds, Mandagal lost more than fifteen percent of his body.

During the frantic struggle, the Crystal Demon Dragon was shocked to find that he, who had been pushed tens of kilometers away from the red moon, was quickly falling into the sea of ​​blood again. , a human figure whose expression cannot be seen clearly.

That is the red abyss.

—in the sky.

A red star was rapidly expanding, and finally turned into a beam of light piercing the sky, falling into the sea of ​​blood.

The viscous blood silently vanished into nothingness in front of the bright red beam of light, and all matter appeared extremely fragile in the face of this level of power. The red light brought the black dragon down and sank into the sea. The monstrous sea waves swelled instantly, and then turned into blood rain under the ensuing shock waves.

The devastating shock wave then erupted from the point where the magic dragon hit, and the bowl-shaped energy mask spread rapidly, covering the sea surface for several kilometers, and the dirty blood evaporated and disappeared in an instant, and the entire sea area All fluctuated violently, as if boiling.

Seeing this scene, everyone on the Time was stunned, and a violent high-temperature air flow was sweeping towards the ark with an astonishing shock wave.

Robzek roared. The moment he saw Joshua's shot, he was ready to prevent the aftermath. At the moment when the high-temperature airflow was about to hit the Time, he opened a layer of silver-white The shield of holy light covered the entire ark, and holy runes shone on it, sheltering everyone in it.

The holy light shield is indestructible, no matter how turbulent the shock wave looks, at most it will cause a little ripple, but the paladin's heart is full of turbulent waves.

——This is just a little bit of insignificant aftermath!

Even if he is not in good condition, he forcefully urged his strength before, and there is no one left of his strength at present, it is not possible for this aftermath to cause ripples on his shield!

In the distance, blood-colored tornadoes are rolling in the huge waves. Except for Robzek, all the people who are still awake have their eyes closed. The naked eye can bear it, and only paladins can look directly at it.

After a long time, the storm gradually dissipated, the huge waves subsided, Robzek withdrew the light shield, and everyone immediately smelled a strange burnt smell.

In the distant sea area, red mist filled the sea of ​​blood that was gradually closing. In the near-boiling red liquid, some fine crystal particles gradually emerged. They slowly floated up from the deep sea of ​​10,000 meters, and then spliced ​​together into a small keel eye socket with difficulty.

A weak gray light floated in it, as if it would go out at any moment.

And in the blood mist, a figure emerged.

The warrior who was no longer shrouded in red light appeared in front of Mandagal.

He stared at the crystal dragon with only a small piece of shard left with his tyrannical eyes, and remained silent. Then he turned his head and looked to the other side with his red eyes.

In an instant, tens of kilometers away, everyone on the ark felt an astonishing chill spreading upward from the back of the spine. It was a pure and direct killing intent, making them feel that they would die at any time.

But gradually, the tyranny and redness in the soldier's eyes gradually receded, returning to clarity, and the lines on his body gradually faded, revealing his normal body.

"right……"

Joshua took a deep breath, calming down the power in his body that was about to get out of control, he said softly to himself: "There is only one enemy, they are not the enemy."

"So, I don't want them to see it."

To be precise, he didn't want to see them in this state, so the recovered warrior frowned: "It turns out that this is the limitation of the divinity of a single attribute... Such a strong erosive force."

Just now, because of Joshua's rage, he aroused the divinity hidden in his bones.

At that moment, he seemed to communicate with an endless and vast power hidden in the multiverse, and everything in his eyes turned into the most basic existence, just like the state of the King of Burning Souls.

Smaller than dust, more fundamental than elements—that is the force that pushes all things forward and interacts with each other, that is the force that makes matter combine and never separate. In this state, he can easily control them, Turn into your own strength.

But what drives this power is pure fighting will and rage, as well as the desire to destroy and kill. Even with the tenacious will of a soldier, he almost sinks into it and cannot escape.

"You monster that is more terrifying than a demon, what are you thinking about?"

A weak mental wave was transmitted to Joshua's mind. The warrior lowered his head and looked at the fragments of the dragon floating in the sea of ​​blood.

But Mandagar said in a mocking tone: "Want to help your comrades and get rid of brain devourers? Use your power that can only be destroyed?"

Fighting so far, it already knows that it has completely failed, because it is too greedy for power and cautious about the ceremony, the magic dragon did not let Granty and his experimental creature come to the blood moon plane to complete the ceremony, but Send to the Abyss of Anos to stop the expedition.

If it hadn't done this, although it might not win, it would definitely not lose so simply and ugly as it is now.

Not paying attention to what Mandagal said, Joshua stepped forward and picked up the crystal fragment, which was only the size of an ordinary person's palm. When he was about to ask how to destroy the fusion ceremony, countless broken crystals appeared on the edge of the blood moon plane far away. Next to the mainland, a huge space-time fluctuation suddenly appeared.

Looking sideways at the direction where the space-time fluctuations came from, Joshua looked down at the crystal shard in his hand, and asked calmly, "What's going on?"

And the magic dragon replied simply with an old voice: "The army of the magic blood dragon."

Its tone was full of despair, unwillingness, but also a hint of gloating: "Although my ceremony has not been completed, in the abyss, the strength of my family has been gathered, and they will follow the cracks in the abyss to the world of Mycroft , to capture the holy mountain in the far sea.”

"How? Although you beat me, you still lost!"

The fragment of the will that was left with only madness sneered: "You can't save your comrades, your relatives, and you can't save your world!"

——They will eventually be wiped out in front of the power of our clan!

But Joshua shook his head and interrupted the evil dragon's words: Mandagal, this abyss is accepting me

Behind him, a strange circle of black light lines emerged, which was like a magic circle summoning demons, full of profane degenerate runes: "It loves me, as long as I am willing to accept its power, I can Become the lord of this plane."

Joshua looked around the sea of ​​blood, his eyes seemed to penetrate the void, looking at the entire abyss: "This place is perfect for me, eternal war, endless battle, never-ending rage and blood, endless Destruction and end—just accept it, and I will wipe out the dragon army you speak of."

Looking at the extremely complicated abyss magic circle that contained infinite power behind the warrior, the dragon was speechless. Having made deals with the abyss lord and the evil god, it knew that what the warrior said was true. This is what the abyss plane gave it. The crown of a loved one, as long as this human being nods, then he will become the master of this world in an instant.

"But I won't do that."

Feeling the shocking mental fluctuations of Mandagal, Joshua sneered and shook his head. He looked at the crystal dragon fragment in his hand: "The world of Mycroft—the Holy Mountain of the Far Sea—doesn't need me to save it."

"The humans on the Mycroft continent have their own civilization, their own culture, their own persistence, and their own history."

The soldier's tone was full of disdain: "The magic energy technology researched by the mages has no worse development prospects than the technology in my previous life. The elves of the last era can even create solar ships that can sail far into the void. It uses element fusion It is basically a nuclear-powered space battleship.”

Under the confused and puzzled eyes of the magic dragon, Joshua looked towards the other side of the ark, where everyone was, and said calmly, "Even if I came to this world, I didn't intend to be a savior—no one is someone's savior, Everyone has their own life, they may need help, but they definitely don't need condescending 'rescue' from others."

"I believe in their strength. I am happy that they are alive, and I am here to avenge them when they are dead."

Therefore, the soldier squeezed the crystal shard in his hand, and said with a smile: "Dragon, in front of you is the guardian of chaos, the human Joshua Van Radcliffe."

"A man born to fight."
