Soul of Burning Steel

Following the instructions of the Holy Mirror and the powerful energy fluctuations that can be sensed even hundreds of kilometers away, Joshua flew all the way from the southeast of the Grandia continent towards the Shaya Mountains.

The map obtained from the small town of Arenn shows that this place was the junction of the two empires at the beginning. With the Shaya Mountains - the Forest of Dark River as the dividing point, the two countries built many semi-permanent fortifications to confront each other. There have been no other conflicts between the two countries except proxy wars, so this place has gradually become a traffic artery and a commercial center.

However, this was almost thirty years ago. After the cataclysm, most of the troops in the Ulan Empire were scattered by endless shadows of death. After all, soldiers who lost their supplies and equipment were no different from rural bandits Far away, although the border legions of the Gelug Empire lasted longer, they only lasted for a few more years. Due to the endless invasion of the undead at night, all grassroots production in the two empires was almost completely shut down, and only the deep mountains and old forests had a moment of rest. .

"The Dark River Forest is one of the few neutral shelters in this world that is absolutely safe."

In the sacrificial hall in the small town of Arenn, the old heroic spirit said so. At that time, he had a look of emotion, as if he knew some secrets that others did not know: "The powerful existence named Urbani lives there. In this forest, no matter who it is, as long as it offers a sacrifice, it will protect that person. In addition, it is also an ancient life that has survived for at least a thousand years, and knows many secrets that humans have forgotten."

"Soldier, if you want to find something or know some news, you can ask it."

But it is obvious that there are strong people fighting in the dark river forest today.

Pushing all the way, at least tens of thousands of dead shadows were wiped out. Of course, Joshua could detect that there had been a fierce battle not long ago in the Shaya Mountains that had been shrouded in dust clouds. There is a huge existence that is resting.

This unknown existence has a height of more than 400 meters in the upper body alone, and it is constantly absorbing the surrounding earth and rocks, condensing it into rock armor, making its body bigger and bigger. The warrior can see that its left arm is affected. It was seriously injured, and it was a technique that Joshua was very familiar with.

Similar to the self-destruction of the fusion star, or the power of the sun gun.

——This is probably the "Lord of the Dark River" Urban Deni that Yalein said.

The soldier immediately understood that there was no doubt that this existence, which seemed to be comparable to the Titan, did have the confidence to open up a so-called absolutely safe shelter in this dangerous doomsday world, and he approached so rashly. There is no doubt that he will be attacked by the vigilant opponent.

But... what does it matter?

If you want to ask for information properly, you need to show your strength.

Finding an excuse for himself, the corner of Joshua's mouth showed a smile that was very familiar to the Shenji siblings behind him, and he whispered: "Firefly, Rin, you all stand back first, I'll go and see the situation."

And because of the different rules of the other world, a thought flashed through the minds of the Shenji siblings who could only maintain their weapons.

——Look at the situation, master, you are obviously looking for a fight!

But he didn't care about his weapon's spiritual complaints, the warrior already dodged and flew towards the Shaya Mountains.

And as expected, it was Tai Tan's angry punch that greeted him.

Bombarded by the arrow of light, the giant's arm that turned the stone armor all over his body into magma broke through the dust and fog, and hit him at several times the speed of sound. At this time, Urbani was like a lava demon god from the abyss hell, It didn't distinguish the difference between the warriors and the previous shadow commanders at all, but simply vented its pain and anger.

"Die!" roared the giant.

"Well done!"

Joshua's eyes lit up when he saw the punch that seemed to sweep across a mountain peak. He stood firmly in mid-air, his muscles agitated all over his body, and the battle qi that had been refined was circulating in his body. Incomparable strength, and then the warrior opened his arms like this, wrapped in golden light, stretching out his fists like two suns, like an ant facing a fast-moving carriage, facing the giant's weight head-on. before hitting.

The next moment, the two came into contact.

The ants stopped the carriage.

Boom!

The roar of the shocking mountains resounded, and the two terrifying forces were instantly suppressed to the extreme—it was almost as if a nuclear bomb had exploded on the spot, accompanied by swirling swirls of dust and mist, and the deadly translucent shock wave swept across the original The crumbling Shaya Mountains caused its rock structure to collapse, and one-third of it collapsed. Countless rocks fell from the sky like rain.

After the explosion, the huge rock giant could be seen falling backwards uncontrollably. Urbani stretched out his left hand, as if trying to grab the mountain to support his body, but it only left five holes on the mountain wall. There was a deep finger mark, and the next moment, a mountain-like mass hit the ground, and the impact like an eight-magnitude earthquake caused the earth, rocks and water to surge.

It can be seen that the right hand of the giant's punch has been completely turned into lava by high temperature and high temperature. The rocks in the depths are already covered with cracks, which seem to be almost broken. wind.

On the other side, because the soldier's own mass is too small, his whole body is now blown away by this huge force and submerged into the clouds.

Flying upside down for several kilometers in mid-air, Joshua barely stopped the castration by relying on fighting spirit to fix his body. The aftermath of the Giant's Fist turned into a tornado and spread in all directions, making the clouds around him flash like thunder.

"It's a bit powerful."

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, the warrior completely dissipated the power of the giant's punch. He let out a long breath in mid-air, and there was a trace of electric light flickering in the blood-smelling hot air, which was released by the rapid operation of the extraordinary organs in the warrior's body. At this time, his fists were also bloody, and even the bones of his arms were twisted.

Even Joshua couldn't completely dispel the tens of millions of tons of simple blows. The blood flowed out of the bloody arms like a fountain, but the warrior's blood seemed to have life. Scabs quickly formed to cover the wound, and the distorted bones relocated with the movement of the muscles.

For Joshua, whose body was already close to perfection, this was nothing more than a minor injury.

Not far away, the skeleton puppeteer driving the crystal golem suddenly stopped the golem he was sitting on from flying.

"Not reinforcements?"

It murmured to itself with some doubts: "It's already started?"

Incomparably ethereal, the misty figure that seemed to not exist in the world at all made an indistinct sound.

"No, the other party is a living person. If we go back now, it will only induce the two sides to join forces to deal with us." The caster thought for a while, then shook his head and made a decision: "Besides, this is not a real battle, they will end soon .”

The truth is exactly what it says.

The fallen Titan struggled to get up. It stretched out its arms and clung to other surrounding peaks, and then barely stood upright again. Afterwards, Urbani's voice full of anger resounded through the sky.

"Humans! You and those dead shadows are not together, why are you provoking!"

After confronting the warrior, the giant immediately realized that the owner of this extremely pure life energy could not be the heroic spirits of the dead who had recovered from their slumber, even if it was the Arrow God who could control the sun god's arrow, the arrow god There is also a trace of dead silence in the meaning, which is the breath that only those who have died can have.

Joshua's life energy naturally does not have this aura. On the contrary, his power contains vitality enough to regenerate dead wood, and has nothing to do with the shadow of death. Urbani knew on the spot that he probably made a move wrong.

But it is also very aggrieved - because it has sensed the fighting spirit of the soldiers, it believes that the opponent is an enemy, and then uses all its strength to vent its anger, but now, since it knows that the opponent is not an enemy, the already injured Urban Deni is absolutely He will not find a strong enemy for himself.

And Joshua naturally couldn't explain this kind of question. Hearing the giant's question, he knew that there was no way to fight this, so he sighed regretfully. However, there was a glimmer of light in the warrior's eyes , He got some information from the opponent's punch.

The Lord of the Dark River did not use too many skills in this blow. The Titan simply used his own power to add the mighty power of moving mountains and mountains to his punch, but what Joshua knew was not These.

He felt the breath similar to the sword of the earth—that is, the long sword of embers that almost killed him!

——This world is indeed inextricably linked with Mycroft Continent. The soldier thought so. However, the specific connection needs to be inquired and analyzed.

Slowly flying back to the Shaya Mountains, the soldiers with two weapons floating behind them had to listen to the nagging of the Shenji siblings behind them.

"Master, this time, as long as you walk over normally this time, there will be no conflicts. Why do you have to fly over so arrogantly..."

"Yeah, from what it looks like, this giant is very powerful. If it hadn't been injured in the previous battle, even the master, you might not be able to do anything to it in your prime."

The silver-haired girl's voice echoed helplessly in the soldier's mind: "It's okay to take the initiative to find those dead shadows. This giant is obviously at least neutral. What if it turns into an enemy?"

Hotaru and Rin's opinions and complaints were very pertinent, but to Joshua, who had intended to test the giant's strength and see how his strength was recovering, it was meaningless.

He came to the top of the Shaya Mountains again, but this time, the giant didn't punch.

"Peak of the heavenly realm... When did another strong man of this level appear in the territory of the Gelug Empire..."

In Titan's deep rock eye sockets, two groups of purple flames are burning fiercely. Urbandeni stared at the warrior in front of him, and an instinctive guess flashed in his heart: "No, some time ago, there were space-time fluctuations on the edge of the southeast direction, This should be a strong man from another world... But why is his aura so similar to ours? Why did he come to this world?"

In Grandia Continent, occasionally strong people from the outside world came to communicate. After exchanging some knowledge information, the two sides never met again because of the barrier of time and space. Visitors from the world may be surprised, but they are not ignorant.

"Wandering in multiple worlds in order to find a way to break through the sanctuary?"

Joshua didn't care what the other party was thinking, he just landed on the top of a mountain and stared at the huge monster in front of him.

--really! It definitely has something to do with Mother Earth!

The fighter immediately confirmed the identity of the opponent.

In the previous life, in the late period of the Great Demon Tide era, many gods and mist from the boundless heaven were jointly broken by many elite players, [Lan of Fury], [Rim Ocean Sea Breeze], [Hundred-headed Demon Snake], [Rock Mountain Giant], from the war The God of God, the Incarnation of the Ocean, the Giant Ancestral Beast and the Goddess of the Mother Earth were the last batch to be conquered.

And the Goddess of the Earth Goddess, the last challenge of the rock giant is to defeat a "Mountain Titan" whose standing height exceeds a kilometer and whose every move will cause a continent-level natural disaster!

Different from the common elemental titans, the Chongshan Titans are the direct descendants of the Mother Earth Goddess. They can ignore the conflicts of the elements, use multiple elements to build their bodies, and carry all the power like the earth. Now, it is probably dark in front of them. On the giant of the Lord of Sichuan, Joshua has already seen multiple attributes such as 'earth', 'fire', 'water' and 'plant', which is enough to prove the identity of the opponent, a titan with the blood of a god.

Neither of the two parties took the lead in speaking, but looked at each other cautiously, scrutinized, and analyzed the information on each other. However, after a while, Joshua, who had roughly completed the analysis, spoke first: "It's our first meeting, a powerful Titan, you should be The master of this place, the master of the Dark River, Urban Deni?"

And the giant, who hadn't seen through the soldier's details after watching it for a long time, snorted coldly and acquiesced in his identity.

As far as Joshua was concerned, it was because he was the one who took the initiative to provoke—of course, the opposite giant also felt that he was the one who took the initiative to attack, so both his and Urbani's attitudes were quite peaceful, and it was not because of the previous attack. On the contrary, the warrior had a very good impression of this powerful titan.

"Humanity."

The giant opened his mouth and made a voice that made the mountain tremble slightly: "What are you here for? According to your strength, you don't need my protection, so you just want to ask for information?"

"Yes." Joshua quickly took out a handful of original crystals including the fragments of the Holy Stone Seed. He flew all the way here. After sensing a strong energy fluctuation below, he deliberately searched for it. Obtained, the warrior used his fighting spirit to suspend these shining gems in the air, and said loudly to the giant: "I want to ask some questions, and these are sacrifices for you."

"...It's okay, just ask."

Glancing at the gemstones in mid-air, Urbani nodded slightly. Although there were not many of these original crystal fragments, the quality was indeed very good. For the sake of these gemstones, the giant decided not to care about the other party's injury. .

——Anyway, it's very tricky, and you may not be able to beat it.

And Joshua also asked his own question.

He described in detail the appearance of the red-haired girl with dragon wings, and also specifically pointed out the style of the magic robe on her body. The soldiers can tell that the opponent is being hunted down by the Shadow of Death, and the number must be quite large. For this continent, this should not be a small matter that is forgotten in the blink of an eye.

After hearing this question, a strange expression appeared on the titan's face made of rock.

"I can answer this question, but can you tell me why you are looking for the other party, whether the intention is good or evil?"

Joshua thought for a few seconds. He felt that there was no need to hide this matter, so he stretched out his hand and pressed it on his heart.

The cyan light of order began to fluctuate, which made Urbani, who had sensed the fluctuation of the robe on Shirya's body, froze.

"As you can see, I'm here to find this long-lost companion."

Joshua said frankly: "I come from another... Lord of the Dark River?"

The warrior was about to introduce his origin and the reason for looking for each other, but he saw the titan in front of him shaking his head.

"...Human, I will not accept your sacrifice for this inquiry."

Urbandeni turned his head and looked to the southwest of the continent. The purple flames were churning in the giant's eye sockets: "She should be on the other side of the continent now."

Before that, the dragon-winged girl, who had already been sent to a barren wilderness by the half-positioned portal constructed by the Lord of the Dark River, was looking around in confusion.

"Here...where is it?"
