Soul of Burning Steel

The rusty smell, like steaming steel, spread, covering the entire banks of the Maija Unfrozen River.

On both sides of the river, the confronting giant of light and giant beast of life energy had been in a stalemate for several minutes. Since the giant shot with all its strength just now, but the giant broke free with unexpected means, the giant beast's performance has been very calm and cautious.

Since this body actually has no substance and is only composed of pure life energy, the giant beast's outer shell changes layer by layer, with countless tentacles occasionally turning into jointed limbs, and occasionally turning into giant pincers. It seems to be thinking about what kind of The posture to deal with the six-armed giant in front of him.

But in the end, the giant beast stopped all actions, its huge body froze slightly, and then turned into the power of life flowing all over the sky, and was absorbed into the body again by a figure at its core.

Herras stood in the air, his dark green hair dancing with the energy flow from himself, he looked at the giant in the distance, there was no emotion in his eyes, and no light of thinking and observation could be seen in his eyes.

On the other side of the river, the six-armed giant also collapsed almost at the same time, turning into thick veins of life energy, which were absorbed into the core of the figure. Joshua also stood in midair. He moved his right wrist. Inconspicuous red marks.

After half a sound, Herras spoke.

"You are Joshua Van Radcliffe, Dragon Slayer Lord of Moldavia."

His voice cannot be described as indifference or indifference, because in fact, it is also words with emotional fluctuations. Herlas' voice seems to be synthesized by a biological machine, without the slightest fluctuation, just a simple narrative : "You are stronger than the rumors and my expectations. According to the positioning of the sect, your danger level has risen from slightly threatening to extremely dangerous."

As if thinking about it, the dark green-haired man with extreme intentions stated his thoughts plainly: "The plan is changed, and the priority of killing you is higher than exploring the ruins of Mt. Mordus."

"Oh?" Joshua didn't react to these words. He had heard similar words countless times. The soldier clenched his right fist, which had fully recovered, and said in a flat voice, "This means What?"

Means the warm-up is over.

After the life energy incarnation was removed, Herras was emitting an incomparably powerful life radiation all over his body. Of course, this radiation could be completely restrained in his body with the strength of his ultimate powerhouse, but at this time he had no intention of paying attention to such trivial matters, and instead He raised his right hand very seriously.

The pale and slender palm was cast like spar and steel, without any flaws or flaws. This flawless palm was lightly clenched into a fist, and only one index finger was left standing up, pointing to Joshua in the distance.

At this time, Herlas' body was still in the dark misty abyss, but the pure light emitted by the extremely powerful life energy radiation illuminated his body in such darkness, countless flying light spots gathered, Let the extremely pale, bright light like a nova condense on his fingertips.

It's pure. Seeing this scene, Joshua had such a thought in his mind. Although the extremely strong danger warning was turning back and forth in his mind, the soldier at this moment expressed his sincere admiration for this ray of light.

Such a pure gathering of life force is probably only one step away from the power of steel, right? Herras deserves to be the powerhouse at the pinnacle of extreme intent, and his reputation is well-deserved.

And in the next moment, the rays of light advanced layer by layer, and white light bloomed.

"Om—"

Incomparably slight, as if it was just a humming sound like a sigh, and accompanied by this humming, a light that was so subtle that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye shot out from Herras' fingertips.

Although it looks inconspicuous, it is actually extremely bright, even more eye-catching than the sun. The entire riverside of the Maija Immaculate River became dark because of its light, but other than that, there was no aftermath or explosion. Appearing, the extremely concentrated power caused ripples in the space that the ray of light passed through, and it flew towards the warrior like this.

But Joshua also raised his fist.

The extremely thick vitality condenses and burns on this steel fist, which is better than steel, and then turns into a black flame. The majestic power makes it shine, and the terrifying heat flows in it, just like the real sun.

Facing the silent pale light that made the space rippling, the soldier didn't waste any effort to make a sound, he just clenched his fist seriously, and then swung his fist towards the terrifying light that was coming straight down——

At this moment, a bright red light suddenly exploded!

------boom! ! ! ! ! —————

First there was a silent silence, and then there was a loud noise that could break people's eardrums. Seeing this scene, Suklash among the woods in the distance hurriedly threw his apprentice down, and used his body as a shield to block the young man's body. However, he himself was distorted by the shocking sound that seemed to be destroying the world. He felt that his brain was trembling, and the violent shock wave ran over him again and again, causing the knight to groan in pain.

And in the middle of the Mai Zhe Unfrozen River in the distance, two dazzling rays of light, one red and one white, are colliding head-on. There is a stalemate between the two. Endless arcs of thunder flash around it. At a temperature exceeding the surface of the sun, it instantly gasified into nothingness, and the sand, gravel and soil at the bottom of the river and beside the river also instantly turned into ashes, cracking into countless tiny fragments.

boom! ! ! ! !

The second violent explosion sound appeared. This time, in the area where the two rays of light collided, there was an invisible wave that crazily spread. In the 100-meter giant crater, everything in it was crushed into powder by the incomparably pure life energy fluctuations, and burned into lava, while a round ball of light expanded rapidly, and then shattered into fragments of energy all over the sky.

But in the next moment, probably because the two sides miscalculated the degree of strength of the other side, the light of life formed by the strength of the two people was staggered in the violent explosion, and shot obliquely in other directions.

The pale light spread endlessly into the distance in a straight line, like a white scratch spanning thousands of meters, clearly reflected on the world, it easily penetrated all the hills and peaks along the way, as if just breaking through a layer The thin white paper, the white light slanting upwards, cut across a mountain peak, and in the next moment, a dazzling golden magma scar appeared on the cut of the mountain peak, and the huge peak above Following this scratch, it slanted and slid down towards the earth, and the clouds in the sky were separated as a result, like white cloth cut by scissors.

The strong black and red light is completely different from the white light. It carries a high heat that melts and evaporates steel and spreads far away, producing endless explosions and loud noises. The scorching storm even melts the snow within several kilometers along the way. Returning to the scorching heat of midsummer, this light blasted from top to bottom into a frozen riverside lake, and suddenly endless water vapor steamed up, like a cloud hanging from the ground to the sky, rising straight into the sky , the inside of the huge cloud pillar was agitated with black and red light, and arcs of lightning flickered around it.

Not only that, in the distance, around Mount Mordus, the gathered hands of eight forces are fighting the transformed plague cultists.

Before the transformation of these plague cultists, most of them only had silver high-level or peak strength, and there was only one Randall priest at the gold level, but after completing the transformation of the blasphemous spider demon and the abyss giant armor, their strength broke through one by one. own previous boundaries.

Lord's Mansion of Moldova, White Tower of Guantian, Imperial Royal Mages Association, Qiyao Council, Caesar's Eye, Stegosaurus Mercenary Group, Tusk Adventure Squad, Blue Shield Mercenary Group, a total of 17 gold powerhouses from eight forces and their The subordinates are fighting these weird monsters with soaring power. Each of the profane nerubians can involve a lot of silver-level combat power, and the powerful ones need to be dealt with by the strong gold.

But the most difficult thing is the abyssal giant armor transformed by Priest Randall.

This giant insect monster with a height of more than ten meters is extremely powerful, and its carapace is even harder than steel. Even the strong gold can't break through its defenses in a hurry. Now this terrifying monster is on the ground. Charged vertically and horizontally like a chariot, the plantar limbs left deep marks on the mud and rocks.

Brandon and several other gold powerhouses are fighting this giant armor of the abyss. The blond swordsman holds two swords and calmly slashes at the opponent's body. The double swords at the holy level can easily break through the giant armor , causing real damage, causing the opponent to howl in pain.

With his strength, it is no problem to single out this giant armor of the abyss, but there are not only blond swordsmen on the battlefield at the foot of Mount Mordus. The giant armor can not care about its subordinates, but Brandon can't do so, he can only drag the opponent in place.

And Verdani also fought with her arms and legs bound. She is a war mage, and the spells she is proficient in are all terrifying spells that can break through the city with one blow and smash the walls and mountains. , so the purple-haired mage can only build a magic circle behind the blond swordsman. Golden crystals composed of elemental power are suspended behind Verdani, shooting out more than a dozen extremely sharp beams from time to time, trying to kill this The head of the abyss giant armor was nailed in place.

But Priest Randall uttered a loud roar. Although he transformed into a monster, he did not lose his wisdom. With reason, he could even use divine spells, and saw a brown filthy halo around the giant armor. Swallowing the rays of light shot by Verdani one by one, the next moment, it was like a huge steel chariot, charging straight towards the purple-haired female mage.

Verdani didn't dodge. Even if she couldn't use her best war spells, she was still a high-level golden mage. She saw layers of magic barriers built out of thin air. It seemed that she wanted to block them head-on. The collision of the giant armor of the abyss.

However, she suddenly trembled all over, and stopped the movement of her hands. Seeing this, the blond swordsman let out a roar, his figure jumped up like lightning, embraced the female mage in his arms, and immediately left the place.

For some reason, the charging abyss giant armor abruptly stopped its charging steps. It didn't even hesitate, turned its head and ran away in the opposite direction.

And the next moment, a pale light streaked across the atmosphere, breaking through the original positions of Verdani and the abyss giant armor, and slanting towards Mount Mordus.

boom! ! ! !

A moment later, there was a loud bang, and the not-so-tall and majestic peak of Mount Mordes was cut open by the light, and the huge peak slid down along the lava scar bit by bit under the watchful eyes of everyone present and the distortion monster. , and a hole located in the very center of the mountain, leading directly to the depths of the ground, appeared in front of everyone.

The entrance to the ancient ruins has been opened!

Everyone, including the blasphemy nerubian, did not figure out who was emitting the dangerous light that easily separated the mountain, but this did not affect the endless thoughts in their hearts. Only Brandon and Randall The priest looked at the direction of the light at the same time, and the human eyes and the six pairs of green observation holes of the giant armor shone with the same shocking light.

"Joshua!" "High Priest Herras!"

Both of them also sensed that the earth-shattering confrontation that happened in the distance, the terrifying life energy fluctuations like tidal waves were transmitted to this place at this time, which shocked the hearts of all the gold-level powerhouses present, sending chills down their spines rising.

But in the distance, on both sides of the Mai Zhe Unfrozen River, the two people who were bombarded with life energy fluctuations were still in a stalemate.

Joshua's body was filled with boiling killing intent like the core of lava. He squinted his eyes, and his red pupils scanned the energy flow and weak points of the opponent, but this time was different from the past, even if the target was the ultimate giant The observation ability of the dragon that can easily see through the weak point seems to have completely lost its effect. Herlas's body is covered with a life energy shield as thick as the earth's crust. It is not that there is no weakness on it, but even the weakest place requires You can break through with all your strength.

This is the benefit brought by the profound background. Even if a warrior spans several worlds and crazily kills Chaos monsters, it can't compare to the opponent's accumulation of decades. Perfect, also called flawless.

But at this time, the warrior's unprecedented enemy suddenly said: "The ruins have been opened."

Even after the fierce battle, Herras's voice showed no emotional fluctuations. He turned his head, looked in the direction of Mordus Mountain, and said lightly: "Sure enough, the fragments of 'it' are here, and the seal is still very strong. stable."

"seal?"

The soldier who was confronting the high priest of the cult couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized the meaning of the other party's words, and Joshua suddenly realized: "Yes, Palmprint Lake... This is the battlefield of the Era of Glory against evil gods and demons. How could there be relics! It turns out that the bottom of Mount Mordus is a seal of some evil god or a fragment of the abyss lord! No wonder you have been conspiring against the Northland, and you will never give up even if you suffer such a big loss!"

This kind of thinking is broken at one point, and only other forces who don't know the truth will really think that the bottom of Mordus Mountain is a relic from the Glorious Era!

But Herras didn't continue talking. He moved his eyes and locked on Joshua. The expression of this strong man who was at the peak of ultimate intent and only one step away from the legend changed slightly for the first time. Slightly wrinkled, it seemed a little unhappy: "Your life force is the thickest I have ever seen, and my absorption power has no effect... Joshua, you are a good opponent, and I will fight against you. The path of the road has been a little confirmed."

"Unfortunately, not now."

Before he finished speaking, a black halo suddenly bloomed from Herras' body, and his body began to expand rapidly with this halo—not because life could manifest, but in the true sense of expansion!

In just an instant, the body of the high priest of the cult turned into a huge, shapeless and indescribable mass. When it touched the ground, it began to absorb and assimilate the soil. In an instant, tens of tons of river water And the sandstone is swallowed by it, whether it is organic or inorganic, whether it is solid or liquid, everything is assimilated by this monster incarnated by Herras.

Joshua took a long breath, even he was shocked by the other party's unexpected behavior, and when he gathered his strength and was about to attack this indescribable mass of sponge or flesh, its However, countless dark green lights suddenly lit up on the body, which were eyeballs and compound eyes that were constantly turning, densely packed, like a scene from a nightmare.

The dark green eyeballs twitched wildly, and rays of life that were almost materialized shot out from them, focusing on Joshua, who had no time to dodge, freezing him in place, and in the next second, this huge monster was assimilating everything around him A thick tentacle was ejected, pulling the warrior into his belly.

I had gastroenteritis today, probably because I ate something unclean when I returned home...
