Soul of Burning Steel

The earth-shattering thunderous bang overwhelmed all the sounds in the sky.

From the perspective of an onlooker, a hill in the west of Ada Gray Island suddenly ruptured and collapsed, the soil churned, and a dim black-red light cluster oppressed the atmosphere, heading upstream towards the high altitude. It runs through the three groups of mad dragon legions all the way, and the places it passes are bloody and bloody, and countless flying dragon corpses fall like raindrops.

There seemed to be a small earthquake in the defense line of the western temple, and the ground shook. Both the magic puppets and the priests felt a huge force that made them unable to stand still, and their bodies shook.

The substantial shock waves visible to the naked eye spread with the progress of the light cluster, and the strong wind exceeding level 12 stirred in the sky. Many flying dragons were blown off track by the wind and hit their own kind. Whether it was magic or dragon's breath, they couldn't hit the light ball for a while, and could only let it fly rapidly.

And at this moment.

The extreme red dragon Evian had just raised the alert in his heart. He turned his head sideways to look in the direction of the commotion, and then felt his eyes darken.

A huge ax that was so dark that it seemed to be able to swallow light was already striking at its head with a buzzing sound of high-frequency vibrations!

If you don't get out of the way, you will die!

The warning signs of death flashed before his eyes, but Evian was an extreme dragon after all, and its reaction speed had already been strengthened by magic, surpassing ordinary computers and reaching the level calculated in microseconds. At the moment above his head, he vibrated his wings and retreated rapidly to the rear. The incorporealization, position shifting, and flame armor spells were all ready.

At the same time, countless light red spots like fireflies overflowed from its wings, forming a large red mist in front of it—the next moment, these seemingly magnificent red mist appeared. It exploded with a bang, forming a dazzling flash in the sky like a supernova explosion.

Evian continued to speed up and retreat by taking advantage of the air waves brought by the explosion. Facing Joshua, the Intense Dragons have already summed up a set of fighting methods, and the most important thing is not to fight this monster in close combat. As long as you keep keeping a distance, you can guarantee safety by using spells to attack. Otherwise, , may be chopped into several pieces at any time.

Everything happened within one-third of a second. At this time, the red dragon's figure was rapidly fading, and the incorporealization magic blessed by it made Evian temporarily obtain a ghost-like body, and in front of it , fifty-seven different element spells aimed at the center of the previous explosion, rapidly plundering the free energy in the atmosphere, ready to go.

But in the explosion dust like a cosmic nebula, a black glow suddenly flashed, and a stream of light flashed across. The huge giant ax more than two meters long spun rapidly to break through the smoke and dust atmosphere, and rushed towards the red dragon at several times the speed of sound. Flying away, the magic machine easily broke through all kinds of magic shields on Evian's body, and directly inserted into its semi-materialized heart.

"Roar!!!!"

The severe pain in his heart interrupted Evian's incorporealization in an instant, and the wings that flowed like lava light dimmed in an instant, but the black giant ax did not break through too many shields. Opening the flesh and blood of the red dragon, it was not actually mortally wounded.

But the fear of dying was real. Being completely enraged, Evian was furiously preparing to fight back, but suddenly there was another sharp pain in his heart—the black giant ax seemed to be pulled out from its flesh and blood, Then towards the center of the explosion smoke, a man who had just revealed his figure flew into the hand.

Joshua gave the red dragon a cold look, cruel killing intent and icy evil spirit gathered around him, as if he was seeing through the direction of energy and the flaws in the shield around him, and in the next moment, he turned into a streamer again, He rushed towards Evian in a hurry.

The fighting spirit of the warrior is as pure as he himself. Apart from the power of glory to plunder the soul of the defeated, there is only pure heat and impact, but simplicity does not mean weak. In Joshua's hands, he His grudge is powerful because of its purity.

The terrifying impact exploded behind the warrior, providing him with an incredible speed like a rocket accelerating. Just the moment his thoughts flickered, he had already bumped into the red dragon's chest that was momentarily dazed by the pain.

Evian felt as if he had caught a meteorite head-on, a rocket that was propelling at full speed, and the entire dragon body was knocked out of balance in an instant, and fell towards the ground uncontrollably. Before it could react, it, which was originally under the clouds at an altitude of a thousand meters, had already broken through the heavy atmosphere, crushed many flying dragons, and then smashed hard on the ground.

As if the earth's crust was cracking, accompanied by shock waves like an earthquake, a rocky crater with a height of several tens of meters was arched out of the hard slate, and the expanding air flow rolled up the sand and dust, shooting out in all directions like bullets. Countless gorgeous, water-like ripples appeared on the defensive barriers of the surrounding temples, and bloody flowers burst out from the rough-skinned and thick-skinned body of the flying dragon, wailing endlessly.

All this happened within a few seconds, and other extreme-level giant dragons were rushing towards this side, and the cover provided by the priests had just been released.

"Evian is under attack!"

"Go and help it!"

Seeing the shock wave and smoke, since the location is confirmed, the extreme dragons don't need to fly over foolishly. A series of space-time fluctuations come, and at least five extreme dragons will be sent to the vicinity of the crater, completely hitting them. Killing Joshua is a serious problem.

"Your enemy is me!"

"Kordas Ent, our last battle is not over yet!"

"Stay for me!"

However, the extreme-level powerhouses on the holy mountain side will not just sit idly by, just listen to a passionate or heroic declaration, the endless spread of holy light, and several priests who are transmitting extremely strong energy fluctuations all over their bodies also rush out The line of defense faced the surrounding extreme dragons head-on.

The leader was the silver-haired paladin Robzek. As the leader of the Hammer of Liberty Knights, he was ordered to guard the defense line of the temple on the northwest side. When he saw the movement in the sky, he knew that Joshua must be fighting , so he made preparations early.

The target of the paladin was a strange black dragon with three eyes not far away. He saw seven hundred and twenty waves of holy light lighting up from the energy nodes around him. Life energy mixed with divine power was like a volcanic eruption. Behind Robzek turned into a stand-in knight tens of meters tall. This knight held a giant hammer of holy light and was wearing silver armor. His eyes were filled with burning platinum energy light.

Countless halo fluctuations shone around the huge Holy Light Knight, covering all the clergymen in the entire northwest temple area with a layer of silver-white light, and their strength and resilience were greatly improved. Although the knight looks huge, its speed is extremely fast. I saw it swinging a hammer out of thin air, and the mountain-like shock wave of holy light hit the three-eyed black dragon.

Robzek was in a coma for most of the time when he was dealing with Mandagar last time, and he held his breath in his heart all the time, and it was indeed earth-shattering to vent it out at this time.

More than ten extreme powers fought at the northwest defense line, and the aftermath swept away all the surrounding obstacles in an instant, and the energy fluctuations were so chaotic that it was impossible for even the legendary powers to detect it for a while.

In the crater, Evian is facing a life-and-death crisis.

Facing the giant sword that was about to disembowel itself, the giant dragon released a ring of flames all over its body, and quickly pushed that ferocious figure away, hitting the surrounding rock walls, giving it a chance to breathe.

How could the red dragon think that he, who was hidden in the deepest part of the dragon group and barely exuded any aura, would be approached so directly by that crazy dragon slayer? You know, compared to its arrogant counterparts, Evian doesn't even exude hostility. It's just wandering around, choosing where is more suitable to complete the 'task'!

But now is not the time to think so much. Being knocked into the ground by soldiers and losing the advantage of maneuvering in the air, the red dragon can only be forced to fight with Qiao Xiuya at this time. The huge size is now a burden, and only a few While breathing, it was like Sularno, with huge mouths cut open between the chest and abdomen, blood gushing out like a fountain, and the internal organs were almost exposed.

Evian knew that his dragon body had been severely injured. The impact of being hit on the ground damaged his spine and lowered his reaction. With the will to continue fighting, and to ensure that the combat power will not be lost too much, but facing such a strong enemy in front of him, a little weakness will rapidly expand and become an overwhelming disadvantage!

At this time, in the crater, Joshua, who had been driven into the rock wall, launched another attack.

boom! !

He rushed out of the hole he had hit, stepping on the ground step by step like thunder, the air around him tore through the vacuum, and made a violent explosion. The deafening sound waves even shook the rock wall inside the crater, making it crumbling. .

The entire ground sank due to the warrior's footsteps, but he stopped suddenly because his huge target disappeared in an instant. Joshua calmly sensed the fluctuations of time and space around him, but found that the target had not teleported away.

"Human Transformation!"

In just a fraction of a second, the warrior thought of this. At the beginning, Hei and Fina were able to avoid the erosion of the brain-eating worms by transforming and temporarily gain full mobility. Then the red dragon must have thought of the same, turning into human After that, the dragon's ability to cast spells will not be weakened, on the contrary, the huge body like a target will disappear completely, which is indeed a good move.

At this time, Evian may have cast invisibility or incorporealization - casting this spell in human form is basically done instantly, so he can't detect the breath of the opponent. If he needs to focus on distinguishing, it will take about a few seconds. Fight There was no such leeway at all, so Joshua made a decisive decision, he took a deep breath, and then roared.

The violent sound waves containing fighting spirit swept away the smoke and dust from the battle between the two. The billowing air waves shattered the solid rock and leveled the soil. By judging the surge of air flow and the reaction of fighting spirit, Joshua found it within a second. Not far away, a human figure was opaque, and then he resolutely accumulated energy under his feet, and rushed to the opponent's body with the roaring gale!

The body of Jiyi-level fighters has almost assimilated with life energy, and the powerful fighting spirit is strengthening and transforming the body all the time. As long as the user is willing, they can explode the life energy in the body at any time, so that the body has far more than ordinary moments. Power, explosiveness, speed and physical strength.

If it was an ordinary Ultimate Intent, he might use this burst sparingly because of his lack of life energy, and use it as a means of suppressing the bottom box, but Joshua is different. He holds the Azure Orb, has Extremely powerful, he is in this state anytime, anywhere with his almost perpetual motion machine physical strength!

The crimson blood flashing in his pupils drew a red line. Joshua charged all the way, and the ground was plowed into a deep depression like a stream of water. He swung the huge sword in his hand and slashed at the invisible humanoid red dragon. The airflow was pierced, and there was a shrill, ear-piercing sound.

He used all his strength silently, under the pressure of the warrior's fighting spirit like a sea tide, the surrounding time and space were blocked, and all teleportation spells were prohibited. If the output of other spells did not exceed his fighting spirit, the power would be greatly reduced.

But Evian, who had finally recovered from the soldiers' raid, took out a red spar from nowhere, and there was a steady stream of positive energy flowing in this spar, as if it was a fragment of the sun.

A small piece of Fusion Star!

The humanoid red dragon is a white-haired old man who looks old. He stared at the warrior in front of him with cold eyes, and there was a deep pain in the bottom of his eyes. At this time, all the hatred was gathered into one word:

"die!"

The blazing fire exploded in an instant, and the ring-shaped stone mountain tens of meters high instantly spewed out terrifying flames like a real volcano. The entire mountain collapsed completely accompanied by rapidly spreading golden-red cracks. In the 100-meter semi-circular fire element energy shield, all the flying dragons in the shield were instantly reduced to ashes, leaving no bones left!

Boom! ! ! !

The earth shakes and the mountains shake! !

The rapid southeast wind instantly made the cold west of Ada Gray Island become as hot as summer, and the high temperature exceeding thousands of degrees gradually decreased, spanning thousands of meters, and when it reached the defensive area of ​​the temple, it was still over 60 degrees .

"what happened?!"

"The power of this blow is already equivalent to that of a great demon of extreme level using Burning Body Explosion!"

"Evian blew up his energy core, did he die with that monster?!"

The minds of the extreme-level giant dragons were filled with surprise, and the hearts of the priests on the holy mountain couldn't help but sink.

Joshua's performance in the recent period has made these people understand that those unknown rumors about the earl are all false. Although the other party does look a little scary, there is no doubt that he is a true A strong man who follows the way of order, and will almost certainly become a legend. If a soldier dies here, not to mention that the empire cannot account for it, this is also a loss for mankind all over the world!

Robzek quickly noticed that the violent explosion was exactly the same as when Joshua used the Fusion Star to smash the transmission channel of the blood moon abyss demon blood dragons before, and he thought it was Joshua who picked it up I took a small fragment of the Fusion Star back and used it at this time, but the paladin immediately realized that it was completely unnecessary!

With the warrior's weapons and strength, there is no need to use this kind of fighting style that is almost all-in-one when facing an extreme dragon. He can win as long as he fights steadily, at least to ensure that he is not damaged. On the contrary, the red dragon, originally I like to collect all kinds of treasures related to flames. It is not surprising that a super-level red dragon collects a small piece of fusion star!

He wanted to go to the vicinity of the crater to see what was going on, but the three-eyed black dragon that was fighting the paladin didn't intend to let him go. With beams of negative energy falling down, Robzek had to turn his head and continue fighting The opponent fights.

And above the crater that has turned into a large lava pit, the whole body is almost burnt into coke, and the humanoid red dragon is panting rapidly. Evian's left arm has been completely severed, and his shoulder is empty, blood is constantly flowing He was staring at the large piece of golden lava below him with fear and hatred.

By detonating the small piece of fusion core star that was finally found and stored for nearly two hundred years, Evian successfully broke through the warrior's vindictive blockade, and then at the cost of a left arm that concealed the binding magic, he killed the warrior. He stayed in place, and then he himself left the central area of ​​the explosion through the teleportation he had prepared long ago, but even so, with such a high fire resistance of the red dragon, Evian also suffered severe burns.

Even so, his heart was full of pleasure—even he had become this discomfited appearance, that terrifying soldier must have died there, right?

But in the lava, bubbles appeared.

The crimson battle energy rose slowly, breaking through the boiling lava.

The warrior, whose body was almost charred, was still holding the weapon in his hand tightly, and he came to the surface with a battle qi mask that also released infinitely high temperature all over his body.

shock, and high temperature.

Such a simple ability can always allow soldiers to survive.

At this moment, Joshua's entire body was scorched into charcoal by thousands of degrees of high temperature, just like the red dragon at this time. This kind of injury can't even feel the pain, because the nerves of the entire body are almost completely destroyed. After cooking, the warrior himself relied on fighting spirit to control his body so as not to fall on the magma.

Evian's resolute self-explosion attack indeed successfully plotted against Joshua. If it was an ordinary person, there would be no bones left. Even if Robzek was in the same situation, he would definitely die.

But the soldier had already been charred into charcoal, and there was a sound that seemed to be sneering.

"It's really decisive."

It was just hoarse at first, and it was hard to hear what it was, and then it gradually returned to the soldier's original cold tone: "It must be admitted that you are a strong man."

At the heart, the blue and moist light of the azure orb shone, and the mysterious rune light also flowed on the warrior's divine bones.

Accompanied by the rapid metabolism, the new flesh and skin grows rapidly, and in just a few breaths, a lot of the coke on the soldier's surface has fallen off, revealing the new skin on the back.

It wasn't that Joshua couldn't dodge Evian's attack, he just had a sudden premonition and wanted to completely withstand the power of the Fusion Star's self-explosion.

Considering that his own defense and regeneration ability were sufficient to withstand the opponent's attack head-on, the soldier stopped in place with inhuman determination, and personally stretched out his hand to explode the fusion star.

This feeling was completely different from manipulating the explosion himself. In the severe pain and high temperature, Joshua, who had perfectly withstood all the positive energy impacts, did understand something.

"It turns out that energy works like this, and then explodes."

The soldier murmured to himself softly, and a trace of fire appeared on his chest, and the crimson fighting spirit converged to simulate a basketball-sized 'little sun'. Joshua had a hint of inspiration in his heart, this time After fighting back, he might be able to completely replicate the attack of the previous 'Flash of the Sun'.

At the same time, he also confirmed one thing, the Fusion Star was not the trump card used by the opponent in the previous life to destroy the entire defensive area of ​​the temple.

At this time, in the midair, the seriously injured red dragon stared at the human standing on the lava in dumbfounded.

--what is that? !

——Bearing the fusion star's self-destruction? !

——This creature... no, monster, is it really human? !

An indescribable fear rose in his heart. As a red dragon, Evian felt the long-lost cold hitting his spine and heart. He watched Joshua's body regenerate, and a harmonious expression condensed on his chest. The nuclear star exploded with the same undulating, terrifying fireball.

Countless calculations, but nothing can be done. Inexplicable emotions strangled the red dragon's throat, making him unable to speak a word. The extremely turbulent emotions can no longer tell whether it is fear or hatred, jealousy or shock. It just He stared blankly at this scene, and then had a glimmer of understanding in his heart.

——I can only use that thing.

It came from the mysterious organization that cooperates with the five-color dragon clan. It was handed over to it by the elders and the three chief patriarchs. It is a powerful item that can only be used by the blood of the red dragon that connects the endless sea of ​​​​fire elements. As long as you hold it on weekdays, A terrifying object that would make Evian feel frightened.

——Although according to the original goal, this is to find a chance to break through a passage leading to the holy mountain, which is a must-kill for the deed to win the game, but there is no doubt that if you can't kill the soldier in front of you now, there will be no future.

At the same time, the nerves of the whole body were remodeled, and Joshua, who was like a newborn, suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.

In mid-air, the humanoid red dragon took out a strange long sword from its subspace storage area.

The style of this long sword is simple and solemn, as if it is a ritual sword in a temple. Its body is completely black, but the blade emits a deep fire like the center of the earth's core. The strange lines extend all the way along the spine , forming magnificent to amazing runes.

As long as you see this rune, a series of meanings such as 'earth', 'lava', and 'creation' will emerge in your mind, as if it is the incarnation of the center of the earth, the core of the mother earth.

Legend has it that the primordial fire burns the void, the ashes condense into steel, and then all things are born. The earth is the rust of steel, and the deep underground is the residual heat of the primordial fire.

The world was created with the first fire, all things made of steel and plastic, and on the ashes, all living beings multiply.

【Flame of Creation · Cinder Sword】

Although it is only an imitation of the real artifact, this long sword of embers still has infinite power.

The black long sword hovered and rotated in front of the seriously injured red dragon, like a crack leading to the depths of the earth. Under Evian's full force, the lines on its sword spine began to release a corona-like energy light flow.

A moment later, the point of the sword pointed at Joshua's location.

will die.

For the first time, I really felt that I would really die.

This was the only thought in the soldier's mind when he saw the extremely familiar artifact long sword.
