Soul of Burning Steel

"That's interesting, it's actually a creature?"

Hearing that the ball of light actually made a 'jingling' sound in response to his question, not only Barnier, but also William who was fine-tuning the coordinates of the transmission channel turned his head curiously, and he looked at it with great interest for a while. Joshua held a beige ball of gentle light, and then said, "There is such a special product in the Blood Moon Abyss, I have never heard of it before."

"Joshua, where did you pick it up?"

"Heaven."

Joshua was succinct. He never deceived others. Since the two incomprehensible mages asked, he would answer. However, the soldiers can now be sure that neither Barnir nor William can detect the blood moon. source of variation.

Lowering his head, pressing down on the excited ball of light in his arms, Joshua once again stared at this wonderful spherical life with a diameter of forty-three centimeters, the weight is approximately equal to nothing, and the whole body exudes a faint light of beige. This ball of light has no substance, and the inner layer is a vortex-like glow, but when you touch it with your hands, you will feel a repulsive force and thirty-one degrees of heat, which makes it accessible to ordinary people.

At first glance, except for the inner vortex core, the structure of the light sphere is extremely simple, and it does not look like intelligent life at all. It is precisely because of this that the two old mages are curious about it.

"I don't know if it's good or bad to bring you back to Mycroft Continent."

Thinking of this in his heart, Joshua couldn't help sighing slightly, and he recalled the scene not long ago.

At the very center of the blood moon, Joshua chose to refuse the huge being of light's request to follow him. His reason is very simple. First of all, the life of light is the only core and the only possibility to save the world. If he takes it away, it is tantamount to destroying the future of a world. Will allow this kind of thing to happen, he is the King of Burning Soul who inherits the will of the sages, how could he do such a thing.

Second, he couldn't take it with him at all.

Regarding the size of the life of light, Joshua made a rough estimate. Its diameter is about 12 kilometers, which means that the other party's body is almost the star core of the blood moon, and the surface of the star core has a high temperature of nearly 5,000 degrees. , and the temperature is still rising, making it gradually transform from a planet to a miniature star. This process will take about thousands of years, and if a large amount of fusion stars are invested, the speed will be accelerated. But no matter what, even if Barnir and William have the magical power to destroy mountains and burn the sea, they can't squeeze this hot star core, which is bigger than a mountain, into the space-time channel, even God can't do it.

Faced with Joshua's repeated rejections, the Life of Light did not give up. After a long pause, it made a move that surprised the soldiers—the streams of light surged and entangled, and merged into a huge The white cocoon of light, and the surge of energy that is as majestic as the sea, make the cocoon of light transform rapidly. Until finally, the huge cocoon shell cracked, and an incomparably smaller ball of light jumped out of the crack, and then threw itself into Joshua's arms.

That is the ball of light that he is holding in his hand now, and it is also a 'subplant' that the life of light splits itself.

After the self-split, the giant life of light as the main body became much quieter. Although the act of splitting the self did not cause much damage to it, it still inevitably made it tired. How long, now is the time to accumulate strength, so it just like this, slowly sneaked into the star core, and fell into silence.

That's why Joshua didn't mind Barnier and William exploring. In at least ten years, no one can find traces of the life of light that has fallen into silence in the blood moon, at most, they can find that the whole blood moon is gradually turning into the sun.

"While curious, time is running out."

Regarding the light ball, the two old mages were indeed very curious. With the power of the legendary powerhouse, they could tell that it was a positive energy elemental body. The life form was very similar to ordinary light elements, but the inner core was much more complicated. times, and it is well hidden, if you don't pay special attention, even Barnier, who is proficient in summoning elements and runes, can hardly see the difference between it and light elements.

If this kind of life appeared in the Boundless Heaven Realm, or a plane of light elements, Barnier would definitely not be as curious as he is now—but this is the Blood Moon Abyss! It has always been famous for death, coldness and emptiness, a broken world where even demons cannot survive! A complex light element creature appeared here, and the old mage felt his curious soul was burning.

Unfortunately, as he himself said, time is running out. Although the tracking of the abyss lord Goliath and the five-color dragon god avatar was delayed through the cross-boundary teleportation circle prepared earlier, but after all, something went wrong. The sixth abyss is actually not far from the blood moon abyss. If Ya finds out that they have not returned to the Mycroft Continent, then they will soon face the pursuit of two god-level powerhouses again. This time, there was no way to slip away so easily.

"The portal has been opened."

On the other end, the legendary bard William has thoroughly tested and verified all the time and space data, he nodded in satisfaction, and said to himself relaxedly: "I just said that no one can compare to me in terms of teleportation. , the previous teleportation error is definitely not my fault!"

After a pause, he added: "Not counting Nostradamus."

In fact, it is true. If Nostradamus hadn't become a legend with time and space magic, he and Barnier can be said to be the first people in this field.

As a former bard and now an archmage, William is best at manipulating the minds of others and distorting the souls of enemies. He can deprive and control the five senses of an army in an instant, and then make them turn against each other and attack in turn. His own friendly army, but other than that, this man with the motto of "cautious" is most proficient in various long and short distance teleportation spells. When he cooperates with Barnier, the two can even be in a short distance. Within a thousandth of a second, the [boundary fixed-point teleportation] that spans more than half of the continent is launched.

Of course, it’s not just the mainland now. From what Joshua has seen before, he already knows that these two people’s understanding of time and space has reached the peak, and they can cross the barrier between worlds in an instant. In a sense, Wisdom and truth did appear in that instant.

But immediately, the soldier's attention turned to the other side. On the ground not far away, the black dragon girl was touching the horn on her head with one hand, pressing her waist with the other, and sat up with a face of pain. , she noticed Joshua's arrival, and immediately began to stack: "Master, I still feel a little pain in my waist..."

"You need a good workout."

Responding casually, Joshua held the light ball and walked to Hei's side. He squatted down, and then reached out to touch the black dragon girl's waist and halve. The torn muscles felt the pain caused by the external force, and the black pain let out another cry in an instant. At this, the soldier shook his head. Shaking his head: "Based on Gu Long's bloodline, this kind of muscle tear injury should have healed itself long ago... You, probably have too few injuries, and your ability in this area has not been stimulated."

Subconsciously shivering, Hei looked in front of her with some fear, and seemed to be a very gentle master who helped her massage and relieve muscle pain. She felt a dark will spreading from Joshua's body. After pondering for a while, the soldier said cruel words in a seemingly gentle tone: "After returning to the territory, I will arrange for Suklash to design a set of special training for you - starting with running around Moldavia for two Start with ten laps, and work out until you're exhausted."

"Be mentally prepared." While talking, Joshua stood up and nodded with a smile: "It won't be easy."

Although Hei's injury this time was entirely caused by his own speed, the warrior actually understood that this happened because the strength of the people around him had gradually failed to keep up with his speed of improvement. Whether it is Black, or Hotaru and Rin, or Archbishop Artanis and Brandon, this is the case. Among the people who are familiar with each other, only Israel, Nostradamus and Pope Eagle have more Or a power equal to him, and there are only ten such people on the bright side of the entire Mycroft Continent.

This is the most normal thing. He owns the system, the Azure Orb, the best battle channel and the best inheritance. Joshua knows that it is normal for him not to be able to keep up with him. No one in this world has better conditions than him. But even so, he didn't expect that one day, he would have to deal with the incoming powerful enemy alone.

"Grow up quickly." Facing Hei, who seemed to be too shocked by the heavy task to speak, Joshua said softly, "I look forward to the day when you can fight with me, not like this. Once I make a move, You're leaving."

"...I will exercise hard, Master!"

Hearing the soldier's sigh-like emotion, the black dragon girl trembled all over. At this moment, many complicated and unspeakable emotions flashed in Hei's heart, including shame, unwillingness, bewilderment and helplessness, but immediately, she My heart immediately became firm.

"I will work hard!"

Joshua was very pleased with the Black Dragon girl's decisive answer. He knew that Black's age was just a child to normal humans, and that both fighting and adventure were just fun games for her. There was nothing wrong with that. The power brought by the blood of the ancient dragon can provide support for this relaxed state of mind, but this kind of awareness is far from enough to keep up with his own footsteps.

"Get up, get ready to go back to Mycroft Continent." He said, "If it still hurts, then I'll hug you..."

"Jinglingling~"

Before Joshua could finish speaking, the ball of light in his arms suddenly made a tinkling wind chime, and then, a gentle light shone on the inexplicable black body.

"This feeling?!"

Immediately, Hei felt a warm breath enveloping him. The warmth felt as if he was soaking in warm water. He felt indescribably comfortable all over his body, but this comfort did not last long, because immediately after What came was a burst of severe pain, the pain went deep into the bone marrow, and even Hei almost rolled his eyes and fainted for a moment, but soon, the girl noticed that the countless broken muscle fibers in her body began to repair themselves rapidly.

Under the radiance of the light, Joshua was even a little surprised at how quickly the black internal injury healed. In just a few seconds, the black dragon girl stood up normally, and then began to move her arms in surprise—— Doubtless, she was completely healed.

"I still have this ability... That's right, the main body also restored energy for me before."

Looking down at the ball of light in his arms that had stopped emitting light, Joshua muttered to himself: "It seems that the amount of training arranged for Hei can be increased."

At the same time, the ball of light made a 'jingle bell' sound again, it seemed to want to get out of the soldier's arms, but it couldn't succeed, and Joshua thought about it, and let go of the ball of light The freed ball of light immediately uttered a series of crisp beeps excitedly, and then it spun around in the air a few times before slowly falling towards the top of Hei's head.

Staring at this ball of light that healed herself, Hei certainly wouldn't be on guard against it. Facing this erratic beige presence, she waited curiously for the other's move, and then, no, the girl said I felt a warm and soft touch appear on the top of my head.

In this regard, Joshua held back his own smile - from his perspective, the ball of light landed on the top of Hei's head, and then got stuck between the two horns of the black dragon girl. This scene is indescribable , but it is undeniably very hilarious. The ball of light seemed very satisfied with the current situation, it moved its position, and then stayed peacefully on top of Hei's head, no longer struggling like it was in the arms of the soldier before.

Head a ball.

Joshua shook his head without expressing this emotion. After he motioned for Hei to follow him, he turned his head and walked towards the two legendary mages who had opened the space-time channel. Behind him, Hei was hurriedly While keeping up with his master, he was also careful not to let the ball of light on his head fall off.

Next, there is nothing to say. Whether it is the two legendary mages or Joshua and his team, they are very familiar with time and space teleportation. After Barnir first entered the time and space channel and started teleporting, Joshua also took the black and light ball They stepped into the faint blue door together.

——This time, there should be no more accidents, right?

Such a thought could not help flashing through his mind, Joshua sighed silently, he always had a subtle premonition that it was absolutely impossible for him to return to the Mycroft Continent so simply.

And the fact is exactly that, just when the black and light ball followed Joshua into the gate of time and space, and were about to teleport back to Mycroft with the soldiers, there was a burst of silver-white, pure light like steel flickering. In the girl's field of vision, the figure of the warrior suddenly disappeared.

Accident, happened.
