Soul of Burning Steel

Starfall 834, July 17th, the sun sinks into the horizon.

Two months after the world-class celestial phenomena such as [Red Galaxy] and [Three Days of Day], the east side of the Ural Mountains in the North, the uninhabited plain between the fortress and the four northern territories ushered in a rare grand scene.

At sunset, the dark red glow hung above the clouds in the sky, and countless stars appeared in the gray-blue sky. The magnificent sea of ​​stars was different from the past, and every silver star was Shining as brightly as the moon.

Ever since the three-day-four-night day that all races in the entire continent experienced together, the stars in the sky have become like this, and the night is no longer a symbol of darkness, because the day is illuminated by the golden blazing sun, while the night has The silver star and moon light flickered.

On the vast plain, because there is no light pollution, the light in the starry sky can be seen more clearly than in the city, but at this time, there is a shadow covering the stars in the north of the sky, flying quickly, and the thin clouds cover the shadow. The movement changes, forming an obvious trajectory.

It was a small floating airship.

Under the oval-shaped floating air bag, there is a rectangular steel pod inlaid. At this time, there is a well-equipped team on standby in the cabin. Each of them is wearing a black standard enchanted uniform with an inscription on the waist. The strange staff with dark golden runes, at this time, no one pays attention to the magnificent night sky outside the transparent window and the earth that seems to be covered with a layer of silver veil, everyone is silent, and the serious atmosphere spreads.

"Moldavian Winter Castle Academy, the first team has arrived at the target location."

Amidst the sound of the rumbling airship engine running, the leader of the team finally said the first sentence. Judging from the voice, he was male and should not be very old. He continued bluntly: "Captain Ivan Makarov Apply for next steps."

In the steel pod, there are dense magic circles and magic equipment, and there is no doubt that there is a communication circle. After hearing Ivan's request, it was a little blurry, as if it was disturbed by some voice From the magic circle: "Received the request, please accept the next step instructions. The first team's trial goals are as follows: 1. Annihilate all the demonized beasts flooding around the commercial roads in the southern plain. 2. Arrange dispersal runes. It's over."

Afterwards, the indistinct voice repeated again, and then the communication really ended, and the airship that received the order immediately cast several beams of light, and the extremely bright white beams swept around, and the holy fluctuations spread. Down below, beast roars came one after another from the seemingly peaceful plain, and dense shadows also overflowed from the bushes and forests, howling angrily at the airship high above the sky.

Bang Dang, the cabin door opened, and the howling wind blew everyone's hair in all directions. Under the light of the stars and the moon, they could clearly see the dense herd of beasts below them, but the four-person team looked at each other, their faces Not only did they not have the slightest fear, but they all smiled.

What's so difficult about it?

In the next moment, the boys and girls armed with sophisticated equipment simply jumped off the airship pod at an altitude of several thousand meters and rushed to the ground!

In the middle of the air, they could see the black uniforms on their bodies glowing with dim lights. As the runes flickered, a circle of translucent honeycomb shields flashed around the four of them, and then disappeared. A person's head is also covered by a tight mask, so that their whole body is tightly wrapped, with no gaps left on the neck, elbows, knees, ankles, and the uniform is like a close-fitting light armor. Revealed a sense of cold chill.

The four shadows with dim light fell straight for a thousand meters like falling rocks, and then the speed suddenly stopped. The blessing of [Feather Fall] made everyone who had long been accustomed to this delivery method decelerate and land at a relatively balanced speed. At the same time, accompanied by a sound of magic spells, dark golden rune light flowed on the strange iron-like staffs in the hands of the four of them. The firefly-like arcane missiles and small fireballs immediately turned into chains of light, starting from the four strange staffs in midair, and strafed and suppressed the herd of beasts below from midair!

buzz buzz buzz!

The magic balls containing magic energy and the hot light bullets bombarded the beasts on the ground, causing the bodies of the demonized beasts to be torn apart and blown away. The ground and forests were dusty under this intensive attack, and suddenly collapsed for a small area. On the first floor, the trees swept by the aftermath fell in the terrified roar of the beast, and then ignited a raging fire, illuminating an area. It is not that there are no demonized beasts wanting to fight back, but their innate spells and breath have not yet hit the team members. Before, it was blocked by a layer of translucent honeycomb shield.

The four mages at the peak level of Black Iron cast spells together. With the blessing of the strange and special staffs in their hands, dozens or even hundreds of arcane missiles and fireball thunders fell every second, and the four-person team was just like this. Under such circumstances, the rain of fire and the south wind descended on the earth.

But just when they were about to land on the ground, a white ring appeared behind everyone. This ring made of magic power slowly rotated, causing the four-member team to float in a space of about 30 meters. In the middle of the sky, the real killing and fighting had just begun at this time.

Such a scene is happening throughout the Northland, and even the entire Mycroft Continent.

A few months ago, [Three Days of Day] made the galaxy shine, and the magic power ten times or even dozens of times thicker than before descended on the earth with a faint silver light. Countless spellcasters who were bound to their own limits because of their talents or physical injuries Both the fighters and fighters broke through their own limits in that short three days and reached a higher level. With ecstasy and emotion, they called that period "three days of miracles".

In addition to the obvious big news that many professionals broke through at the same time, the rapid increase in the concentration of magic power has also brought many changes to the world. According to the observations of many mages, although the concentration of magic power has not increased further after Miracle Three Days, it has already It is enough to cause changes that affect the entire world. According to their deduction, all newborns conceived on this day will have extraordinary talents far beyond ordinary people, and the high-concentration magic environment will further increase the power of many spells. The speed of practice will also be further accelerated.

Although the major forces on the Mycroft Continent are silent about this, the wandering extraordinary and civilians among the people are all ecstatic, which means that their path of practice has become easier, and it also means that their children The possibility of a professional appearing in the game is greatly increased.

But the three-day miracle brought not all good news—human beings can benefit from a high concentration of magic power, but how could wild beasts and monsters that are closer to magic power than humans have nothing to gain?

In just three days, hundreds of millions of newborn demonized beasts appeared in the entire Mycroft Continent. These originally docile or fearful creatures became excited and violent under the stimulation of high concentration of magic power. They crazily attacked the intelligent life in the suburbs and the wild, and fought with each other tragically. These beasts cut off countless commercial routes, and attacked countless towns in remote areas. Many humans living outside fell into a state of anxiety. middle.

Although these new demonized beasts are not strong enough to cause the terrifying damage of the Kuroshio, they can at least destroy farmland and roads. In order to deal with this sudden disaster, many forces have shown some previously hidden powers . As for the Northern Empire, huge commercial ships replaced the difficult dragon cart caravans, carrying tens of thousands of tons of huge cargo to every corner of the empire, and countless small and medium airships carried thousands of Tens of thousands of troops or adventurer squads went to various places to clear trade routes and suppress the herds of beasts.

Cold Winter Castle College in Moldavian Territory in the north saw a good opportunity to train students' actual combat ability. After the knights wiped out all the powerful monsters in the southern plains, they sent teams of students to come , to carry out the removal of ordinary demonized beasts, and the No. 1 team under the leadership of Ivan Makarov is the leader of more than a dozen academy teams.

Three hours later, the battle was over, and the exhausted four stood in the center of countless beast bones and blood, and let out a long breath.

"This time it's easier than last time in the Frost Butterfly Forest."

Uncovering the fully-enclosed mask with one hand, and stroking the staff that became warm due to long-time casting of spells with the other, the girl with platinum-blond hair breathed the fresh air and murmured to herself, this girl named Ami La Makarov's girl is Ivan's younger sister. Although she looks petite and lovely, she is actually a hidden dangerous element. The girl seems to be expressing a sigh of dissatisfaction in her tone of emotion .

"I think it's just because we have become stronger." Avoiding the corpse of the beast at her feet, the girl named Karin tidied up her uniform that was spattered with a lot of blood. Complaint: "We have changed into luxurious enchanting equipment this time. If it is still as thrilling as last time, then something is really wrong."

While speaking, the uniforms on the girls' bodies were flashing green rune light, which meant that the magic furnace in the airship above their heads was replenishing the magic power of this special standard combat uniform.

The small airship developed as a "tactical level suppression fortress" is equipped with a [star pulse transmission] rune array that can supply magic power over a long distance. It can quickly replenish the magic power in the standard magic equipment that meets the requirements. , originally as a low-level mage, the four-person team's own energy level can't wear such a luxurious magic equipment. Thanks to the much stronger magic power concentration than before and the support of this star pulse transmission technology, Their poor mana reserves can support their consumption of this high-intensity small-scale extermination mission.

In order to encourage the students to hone themselves, Dean Nostradamus provided a batch of cutting-edge enchanting equipment and magic potions made by the imperial military. It is more sophisticated than ordinary mass-produced magic weapons. As long as they have the 'credits' that are common within the academy, students of the Academy of Winterhold can exchange for any equipment they want.

The source of the credits naturally comes from the daily assessments and trials. Just like this trial to eliminate demonized beasts, it can provide more than 3,000 credits for the four members of the first team, and turn a person from scratch. They were armed to the teeth from the end, and Ivan and the others had gone through five similar trials. In addition to changing the equipment of the four of them from beginning to end, they also exchanged a lot of magic potions for emergency situations.

The two girls stood aside to rest, and complained about the dirty surroundings, while the thick and stocky young dwarf Nick and Captain Ivan searched for the few monster corpses among the wild beasts, and laid dispersing runes by the way. They wanted to try to find more materials that could be recycled before the airship landed. These materials could also be recycled into credits in the exchange hall of the college. Although it was not as good as the reward for completing the mission, the mosquito meat was still small and could not be wasted.

You know, in the highest exchange, there is also the [Magic Armor] specially made by the Lord's Mansion!

However, when the leading boy raised his head from the pile of corpses and wiped the sweat from his head, he saw a faint star shaking in the bright galaxy.

"Huh?" Ivan murmured subconsciously, "Is it a hallucination?"

But it was not an illusion. As the dwarf Nick looked up at the galaxy, he also saw another star shaking. Suddenly, his loud and clear voice echoed in the plain, causing the two girls beside him to look up at the sky.

And in the next moment.

The shaking stars began to 'fall'.

Under the shocked eyes of the boys and girls, the stars fell one after another. They drew fine silver lines on the sky and printed on the sky above the Mycroft Continent. The pressure swept across the mountains and oceans, covering the entire world.

The fleeting coercion spread, waking up the sleeping people from their dreams, the mice in houses and caves ran out of their nests in groups, cats and dogs also left their dens, and ran to the fields and roofs in fear, screaming Heart-shattering howl.

Above the sky, silver lines flew across the mountains and oceans with misty mist. They touched the horizon and brought up clusters of bright light mist. This is the surprising thing. The existence of these meteorites They did not cause any damage, and they brought nothing but a thick fog that covered several kilometers around.

Coincidentally, in the plains surrounding Moldavia in the Northland, a 'star' also fell, with silvery brilliance carrying incomparable coercion, falling towards a sparkling lake.

And the man who led a group of teenagers and girls to set foot on his territory again stared at the balls of light falling from the sky with dazed eyes.

"The mist of divinity."

He said softly, "It's finally here."
