Soul of Burning Steel

Among the mountains and hills shrouded in darkness and mist, countless decayed corpses were buried in the dust by fallen leaves, and blood-stained stones and damaged weapon metal were scattered in every corner of the forest. Broken armor, countless swords with gaps, and spears with no tips stand in the cold wind, as if telling a story that happened here in the past.

It was evening now, the dim sun was gradually sinking to the west, and the night wind was getting colder and colder every moment, as if it could penetrate the bone marrow and freeze the blood.

However, in the mist, a little light suddenly lit up,

This light is weak and dim, but extremely firm and solid. Under the light of this light, the mist dissipates, and the darkness recedes. As the light advances, a carriage can be seen hurrying along the mountain road. As if running away from something terrible.

"Quick, faster!"

The leader, a middle-aged woman riding a tall horse, yelled at the carriage and riders behind her with a rough voice that did not match her gender. This was the reason for her rough voice, and upon hearing the leader's urging, all the carriages and riders immediately sped up and rushed towards their destination.

There are nearly 30 people in this convoy, most of them are riders on horses, and the remaining five carriages seem to be full of supplies, and they are pulled quickly by the horses in the rugged forest. Moving on the path, the riders wore long swords and flails, as well as exquisitely crafted chain mail. Their well-equipped equipment was no less than that of the regular army of most countries.

But even so, this group of riders fled forward desperately as if they still wanted to escape something.

But the heart of the leader Davian kept sinking like a stone in the deep sea.

—The sun has set, and night is approaching.

Somewhat annoyed, she pulled out the saber at her waist, and with a blow through the air, she cut off a big tree blocking the road and sent it flying. This female knight showed a strength that cannot be underestimated, but she was somewhat He murmured fearfully: "No, I can't go back to the village anymore, those monsters are about to appear..."

"If it doesn't work, fight them!"

Immediately behind the female knight, a knight with a thick helmet uttered an angry male voice: "Sister Davian, when the time comes, you will take the carriage back to the village, and I will take them to cut off the queen for you!"

"Idiots, can you stop the 'Shadow of the Dead' with just you bunch of non-advanced trash?" He scolded the other party mercilessly, Da Wei'an Knight couldn't think of a solution for a while, So I could only grit my teeth and continue: "Fuck, don't worry about him so much, everyone speed up!"

"Yes!" The riders responded in unison.

Shadow of the dead, as the name suggests, is the shadow of the dead.

Since the cataclysm twenty-seven years ago, the world has changed. As long as there is a place where there is life after death, then when the sun sets and night falls, there will be shadows of the dead. These monsters with a part of the power in front of the dead, like dark shadows, are weird and terrifying. The flesh and blood of animals attack all life indiscriminately.

How many lives have died in this world? Probably dozens or even hundreds of times the number of living people. Almost every corner of the world has been stepped on, so the footsteps of the dead shadow are everywhere and cannot be avoided.

"I can only hope that the shadow of death encountered this time will be weaker, allowing us to break through and leave."

Many thoughts flashed through Davian's mind. It was not the first time that she led a team to go out and fight against the Shadow of Death. After all, there were many reasons in the outside world that would delay her return to the village. You can tell from the scars all over her body that this female rider can be said to have experienced many battles.

What she thought was indeed right. Dead shadows are also divided into strong and weak. If they were just ordinary civilians and beasts in life, then after turning into dead shadows, they will be weak monsters that are so fragile that the wind can blow them away. It's not impossible to break through and leave, but the Qiushui Forest where the carriage team is now was once an ancient battlefield hundreds of years ago. Under this forest, the bones of countless elite soldiers from the two great empires were located.

If you meet those imperial elites...

Davian didn't continue to think about it.

For night has fallen.

The brilliance of the sun completely disappeared from this world, and the dark mist began to cover the jungle. Even if the torches in the convoy were burning with warm light, their field of vision suddenly narrowed to more than ten meters in front of them. The speed dropped immediately.

"Don't slow down!" Davian roared, "If you fall to your death, you will be eaten by those monsters. Boys of the Astoria family, draw your weapons for me!"

Facing the endless hazy shadows that had begun to emerge from the dark mist, the female rider said in a hoarse but extremely firm voice: "The light of the blade, the glory is immortal!"

And all the riders also shouted loudly: "Immortal!"

"charge!"

Dots of light appeared on the bodies of all the riders. The colors of these lights were different, but they all had the same effect. Driven by this light, the flow of the wind began to speed up, and the exhausted war horses all died. With the recovered spirit, he began to stride forward with hissing, and the speed of the team suddenly increased by more than a notch, as if he had really turned into a gust of wind in the mountains and forests.

And the shadows in the darkness were also completely condensed.

Those are the dark human figures everywhere in every corner of the jungle. They are also tired warriors and knights wearing broken armor and holding broken swords. , These long-gone, but unwilling dead woke up in the darkness, opened their scarlet eyes, they watched the carriage leaving quickly, and then let out a soundless roar.

Huh—A tattered flag was raised in the array of the dead, and the shrill horn sounded through the night sky along with the cold wind. Following the guidance of the flag and the call of the horn, they also began to charge.

Spanning hundreds of years, and the chasm of life and death.

At the end of the carriage, a taciturn and stout rider noticed the army of the dead galloping behind him at a speed beyond human comprehension. In response, the man took a sip, and then raised his hand from the side of the horse. With the epee, his strong and powerful arm muscles were twisted, and then he turned the horse, turning into a gust of wind and rushing towards the enemy in the opposite direction.

Kuang————

The swords and swords clashed, the iron and steel roared, and the rider rushed into the enemy line alone. There was a light blue light surging all over his body. This light was clearly visible even in the dark mist. With one blow, he killed several dead shadows on the head, and the blade flew, and he killed more than a dozen dead shadows.

But how many shadows are there? Within a few seconds, the knight's figure was completely submerged. Although the light blue light could still be seen flickering, it quickly disappeared with the sound of flesh and blood being pierced.

But even so, the army of the dead was stopped for a few seconds, and was thrown off by the convoy for a long distance.

Davian noticed this, the female knight's heart was as cold as a stone, and she couldn't make any waves. She just hated her own incompetence, that's all.

In front of the team, there were also dead shadows, but these dead shadows were just some civilians, or scattered adventurer souls. Davian drew his sword, and the sword wind howled, and the monsters in front of the team were instantly submerged by the vertical and horizontal air blades.

"We are about to reach the sanctuary of the village!"

Completely expelling the dead shadows ahead, the female knight shouted loudly: "Don't let Hand's sacrifice be in vain!"

The horse team was silent, but the speed was a little faster.

But it was a shrill horn.

In front of the team, a tattered flag was raised, and the angry howling of wolves could be heard vaguely.

Three hundred and eighty-two years ago, the armies of Bohar the Iron Slayer and Su Enzan the Wolf Shepherd met in the Forest of Autumn Water. The two evenly matched strongmen led their evenly matched armies to fight endlessly, and the result was It was the iron cutter's blade that broke, the wolf shepherd's wolves died, and the armies of both sides died here.

Now, three hundred and eighty-two years later, in the dark mist, the shadow of the dead has revived. The general who has been devoured by flesh and blood and the headless knight are facing each other in the center of the two teams. Their armies look at each other, scarlet The light even illuminates the forest.

Without words, the next second, the war among the dead began again.

But what was caught in the middle was a convoy of carriages that were at a loss.

--Dead!

Even a female hero like Davian couldn't help but feel cold. The situation in front of him was an abyss of despair. People have no chance to escape at all, they will only be decapitated by the blade, and then devoured by wolves.

After the cataclysm, the shadows of death came to the world. The ancient heroes and heroes turned into ominous monsters, criss-crossing in the darkness. They held the magic weapons of the past, and used the simple but powerful spells of the past to transform the lives of the living. The world is oppressed step by step into the corner.

The heroic spirits have fallen, and the demon souls have awakened. The owner of this continent called Grandia is no longer a glorious human civilization, but the dead who have awakened from their bones.

The sound of iron and steel clanging resounded through the jungle, and the riders used the carriages as barriers to resist the impact of the armies on both sides. The collision of sword blades burst out dazzling sparks, illuminating the dark jungle.

Davian stood on the ground, and when she swung her sword, a dark blue light flowed on her arm. In front of the female knight was an endless army of dead shadows, but they could not break through Davian's blade. With a flash of silver light and air blades criss-crossing, more than a dozen dead figures were knocked into the air, and then disappeared in mid-air.

Beside her, the other knights were also roaring and fighting. They were not as strong as their leader, but it was not difficult to deal with these weak dead. .

But this is only temporary. Davian understands that the current situation is due to the fact that these two armies of the dead who have just awakened are fighting with each other. They continue the war in their lifetime and have no time to take care of the group of living people beside them. However, even the aftermath is not theirs. Thirty people in this area can bear it. After dozens of minutes, after everyone's strength is exhausted, the knights no longer have the strength to resist.

At that time, they will only be eaten alive by these dead shadows.

Davian couldn't think of a solution, so her heart was being swallowed by despair bit by bit, but it was precisely because of this that an anger called "don't care so much" came from the heart of this strong female knight. Ascended, she, like her companions, began to roar and wave sword energy, harvesting these black shadows in pieces. This scene even attracted the eyes of the two leading undead in the middle of the two armies.

Since there is no solution, forget it!

Since it must be the end of death, let's fight!

Before you die, kill more enemies, there is no coward in the Astoria family who surrenders without a fight!

And just as the female knight made up her mind, suddenly, a thunderclap exploded in the sky.

Rumble! ! !

A deep and loud noise suddenly resounded high above the sky, and accompanied by the agitation of air waves visible to the naked eye, a faint blue light enveloped the entire world in an instant.

Startled, Davian looked up at the sky.

In the darkness above the head, over the forest of autumn water, the thick clouds receded layer by layer, and the dim light of the blue moon was completely covered, leaving only a faint gap that suddenly appeared above the sky, and this gap was indeterminate. , as if some giant was walking, the vibrating sky appeared ripples like flowing water.

Strange, layers of runes that have never appeared on the Grandia continent, folded and undulated back and forth between the blue lights, and the buzzing sound of gears meshing and running made everyone feel uneasy.

"This...what the hell is this..."

Not only the female knight, but everyone present, even the resurrected undead, they all stared dumbfounded at the vision that appeared above the sky—the majestic tide of magic power tore through time and space. How spectacular is this scene? Coupled with the incomparably terrifying aura faintly coming from the gap, fear appeared on the faces of many riders who remained unchanged even in the face of the shadow of death.

"Could it be... this was once the burial place of a great hero?!"

Davian was so shocked that she couldn't help guessing: "Now the heroic spirit is about to wake up, causing the sky to vibrate?!"

This is really unbelievable. Although she thought so in her heart, the female knight still showed a wry smile. Such a powerful heroic spirit woke up from a long sleep, and then turned into a demon soul capable of destroying everything. A bad news that couldn't be worse, let alone their small team of riders.

But what happened next took everyone by surprise.

A person stepped out of the gap.

The faint blue light dissipated in an instant, replaced by a bright red light like the sun.

This light is so dazzling that no one can look directly at it. The extremely terrifying life energy radiation spreads in all directions. The endless dead shadows on the earth are just swept away, just like being swept away by the light of the morning sun. After being irradiated, it collapsed and became invisible.

Davian stared at the front with unbelievable eyes—in front of her, the endless army of undead was completely destroyed by the red light in an instant, without leaving any ashes. The black mist seemed to be in the midday sun. The dew dissipated so quickly and finally disappeared, but these tired riders did not suffer any damage, but felt their strength regained.

At the very center of the army, the guard knights and the two leaders lasted a little longer—but only a little longer. Under the continuous and powerful radiation of life, these souls from the past history returned Rest in peace, every inch is purified and disappears.

"This...what the hell is going on?!" Everyone looked confused.

Just now, what happened?

And Joshua van Radcliffe came to this unknown world in the confusion of everyone.

Bringing Yingying and Rin down from the sky, and came to the ground, the warrior didn't even realize what the energy radiation around him was doing, he just restrained the power of possession that he instinctively raised in the space-time channel, and then looked serious Exploring the strength in the body.

As an extreme warrior who controls everything about himself to the extreme, Joshua can naturally detect all abnormalities that happen to him.

Clenching his fist with common sense, he made a sonic boom. He frowned and whispered to himself: "The power is bound."

This is actually a very normal thing. The worlds around the world of Mycroft are actually somewhat similar in terms of origin, otherwise it would be impossible for a natural space-time passage to open up, but the nature of the power of steel in this distant world is slightly different. The soldiers were keenly aware of this.

"Yes, master."

The silver-haired girl behind her nodded in agreement. She also noticed this. Looking at her somewhat blurred figure, Yingying said dissatisfiedly, "My psionic body cannot be fully manifested..."

Rin on the side also touched his chest, and he nodded in the same way: "That's right, master, the energy flow in this world is different from that in Mycroft Continent. My sister and I's psychic bodies have been suppressed."

"Understood, you should change into weapon form first." Nodding, Joshua said so, and the sister and brother Shenji also neatly transformed into a giant sword and a giant axe, floating behind the warrior.

At this time, Joshua was looking at the system that was constantly updating messages in front of him, and he grasped some of the most important messages.

【You have come to another world, Grandia】

[Because the steel power of the basic structure is different, your power will be suppressed]

[Current power liberation level: 32%]

It seems that it was indeed suppressed. The soldier thought so.

But it's also an opportunity.

Joshua understands that his power will be restrained, which means that his path is still incomplete. In his prediction, the body that perfectly carries the power of steel and the vitality that has turned into power of steel cannot be captured by another world. Different energy essences are suppressed, because that is the most original power at the beginning of creation.

But now, through the suppression of this different world, he has found his incomplete aspects. As long as he breaks through this level, the liberation of power will reach 100%.

Then it's time for warriors to rise to legend.

5200 words, ask for the monthly pass at the beginning of tomorrow!

Grandia comes from a game "Grantia's Mystery", which is often cooing. It is really fun, but the production team often coo
