Soul of Burning Steel

"This power is really amazing."

Lisa straightly stretched out her right hand, and between the girl's spread fingers, strands of bluish-blue electric current flickered. She looked at these electric arcs lingering between her fingers with some fascination, and said softly: "It is stronger than ordinary demon hunters, easier to control, and more powerful. This technique called electric current propulsion is actually better than the hundreds of years of inheritance of the dragon people!"

Compared with ordinary dragon people who cannot be finely controlled and can only be used roughly to paralyze monsters and accelerate the current of metal weapons, the arcs between Lisa's five fingers are extremely regular. Contains amazing power.

"Of course, this is a legendary powerhouse, a technique used by a level-1 existence of a demon lord. It would be really strange if it can't beat the superficial experience summed up by you dragon people."

Syndicate squirmed with some disdain. This was the move that Joshua transmitted through the power of steel to control its own magnetic field current and other forces. If the cultivator had the blood of thunder magic in his body, the effect would be even greater. Even better, if those monsters that have no skill inheritance are obtained, they can use their power to exert ten or one hundred percent of the effect.

Through the radiation possessed by the Syndicate itself, coupled with the stimulation brought by the electric current, Lisa's original dusty blood was unlocked very quickly. The girl went out today because she felt that her strength had been significantly strengthened, so she went to find the elder and asked to test her talent again.

The Great Elder was originally unwilling to conduct another test for a person who could not awaken, but when he saw the arc flickering between Lisa's fingers, he couldn't help opening his mouth, stunned—and the result of the second test was even more surprising. Not only the Great Elder, but even Lisa's father, the captain of the Demon Hunt Team, who went to watch it because he got the news, was greatly shocked: They couldn't understand why Lisa, who clearly couldn't awaken before, was in ten A few days later, she will suddenly successfully awaken the power of an adult dragonman who has successfully awakened, and most importantly, Lisa did not rely on the rituals in the village, but entirely on her own!

"Perhaps, this is the special feature of pure-blooded people... It is rumored that there were no awakening rituals for dragon people at the beginning, and there were not as many awakened people as there are now. Everyone gains strength by relying on their own will and hard training. Li Sha, you may be able to reach the level of your ancestors back then."

After solemnly recording Lisa's name in the list of awakened ones, the Great Elder said to the girl earnestly: "But even if you are extremely talented, you can't slack off your training. Wait a minute, go to the training team and try to participate in the demon hunt." Human primary training."

Afterwards, Lisa went to the demon hunter camp in the corner of the village, and participated in the training with other children who had successfully awakened before. The dragon girl didn't care about the expressions of her peers who were either surprised, happy, or gnashing their teeth. , but earnestly learn the hunting skills of the senior demon hunters in the village, as well as the method of controlling one's own strength.

But after listening to it for a long time, Lisa found that the former was fine, but later, the witcher in the village had a way to control the current, which was not at the same level as the current promotion taught by Syndicate. The comprehensiveness and sophistication of this practice method from other worlds surpasses the original skills of the demon hunter by many times.

After the class was over, Lisa returned home to say good news to Mr. Syndicate who gave her everything.

"Alright Lisa, stop rubbing me, you should exercise more now to consolidate your foundation."

Held in the arms of the dragon girl, the Balrog who was rubbing desperately like a pet suppressed his anger, and said impatiently: "Two hours a day, no more and no less, less will have no effect, more will be because of Mistakes due to fatigue—the backlash caused by the electric current is not as simple as spitting out two mouthfuls of blood, it is a big explosion that will tear you apart! I can't save you either."

"Well! Good sir!"

The girl agreed energetically, but she didn't let Syndicate go, let this strange creature that called itself Balrog, actually looked more like a slime, go back to read a book, but put it in a stone plate.

"What are you doing here?"

"Give sir your blood for today."

The dragon girl raised a slender index finger. The nail on the top of the index finger was sharp. She carelessly stroked the palm of her hand with her fingernail, letting the black and purple blood drip into the stone plate: "This is not in the contract." Did you agree, Mr. Syndicate, you help me awaken and become a powerful demon hunter, and I will help you recover your strength, and if there is a chance, I will help you take back part of your body, the divine iron from the sky."

"I remember it very clearly."

"snort."

Blood dripped from the girl's palm, even covering the stone plate. Syndicate was in the center of the stone plate, allowing the girl's blood to dye her white body a strange purple. One of the impatient Balrogs didn't speak this time, but quietly absorbed Lisa's blood.

After completing today's contract, Lisa, who was still very happy, turned her head and went to her yard to start exercising. She could vaguely hear the girl talking to herself strangely when she left: "Strange, the wound healed so quickly. Ah... so is the drop of blood, I have such a cup every day, and I haven't felt tired or weak."

Not long after, the exercise sound of "Drink!" And just after Lisa left the house, Syndicate also sucked up every drop of blood in the stone plate, and of course it heard the other party talking to himself.

"This is because you are burning your lifespan, little girl of the dragon people."

The Balrog squirmed its body, and for some reason, it sighed in its heart. Because of the power of that lord, its body has been purified into a pure body without any toxins. Although it still has radiation, it has no poisonous power, and it can only slightly accelerate the aging of living things. In exchange for the knowledge passed on by that adult, it would be a rapid acceleration of metabolism.

Whether it is rapid wound healing or abnormal abilities such as rapid blood regeneration, it is the appearance of accelerated metabolism. The Balrog clearly knew that Lisa had burned almost a year's lifespan of an ordinary person in these short ten days—this is why her exercise speed is so fast, and her high-speed metabolism is also quite high. Yu Lisa's training results have also multiplied dozens of times.

As for why Syndicate needs to draw Lisa's blood, the reason is also very simple, that is to restore strength.

Although the Balrog is called the Balrog, in fact, its essence has nothing to do with flames. It was just that when the Mycroft Continent encountered the species of Balrog for the first time, the Balrog happened to use high-heat radiation and raging flames. For its own means of attack, everything it set foot on spontaneously ignited, the forest turned into scorched earth, and there was no vegetation for decades, so they are called Balrogs.

In fact, the Balrog is actually a creature similar to the abyss ooze, but they are the highest-end mutant species of this slime-like creature. This kind of creature with an amorphous body and a liquid-like body was born from The abyss and quagmire, so it is born with a high concentration of radiation and poison that roasts the flesh and blood of creatures. They live by devouring radiation metals and high-concentration energy crystals, and the flesh and blood of extraordinary creatures are also their favorite food.

The reason why most of the Balrogs live in volcanoes is because the heat escaped there is enough to maintain the daily energy needs of the Balrogs, so that they don't need to go out for food frequently. In this case, if the Balrog still actively goes out to hunt other demons and extraordinary creatures, then it is to obtain their bones to protect the core body at the center of its body, which is the pure white color of Syndicate today, similar to The slime part.

"Our Balrog family was born in the abyss swamp filled with poison, so we are born with the power to corrode everything... But this is actually an acquired taste. I heard that if we can expel the poisonous blood, we can replace it with another element , our family can have another path different from the previous one.”

This is the reason why Syndicate used Lisa's blood as the content of the contract. The adult expelled the source of poison in the body for it, and turned it into a primitive and pure body that only existed in the imagination of many Balrogs. new possibilities.

After absorbing most of the dragon girl's blood, the Balrog's white body has turned into a strange bluish-red color, and there is even a tinge of bluish-purple light at the core. It feels that there is a powerful force in its body that is pulsating , countless beating arcs were released from Syndicate's body surface, covering its body. After more than ten seconds, the currents slowly dissipated, and Syndicate gradually returned to its original white body.

Of course, the Syndicate will also push the electric current. After all, if you want to hand it over to others, you must first learn it. With Lisa's blood, the Syndicate has already achieved a small success in electric current push. According to its estimation, the stored energy should be fully released. The little devil in the abyss was paralyzed by electricity and let others slaughter him.

This power is much stronger than the flame and poisonous power it had mastered before. If it restores its full strength based on this, it will definitely be many times stronger than before!

"Really... where did the ancestor of the dragon people get such a powerful bloodline!"

Although it is not the first time to draw Lisa's blood, Syndicate is still secretly shocked: "A so-called pure-blooded little girl, with blood that has not been fully awakened, possesses such terrifying power, so a fully awakened pure-blooded person What kind of strength will they have? What about their first ancestors? Where is the source of blood?!"

"I gave her the move of electric current push, isn't it too rash?"

But since the contract has been made, so be it, Syndicate doesn't think so much about existence, it decides to calm down and continue reading the book in front of it.

The language of the dragon people is not complicated, at least compared to the various abyssal languages ​​that vary from place to place in the abyss. After all, they are former great demons and extreme powers. It only took a few days for Syndicate to learn I have learned roughly, and now I can read the difficult classics that even Lisa can't understand fluently. At this time, what it looked at was the legendary and mythical history of the dragon people.

"In the beginning, the world was prosperous and prosperous, but the disaster of destroying the world came, the fire rained down, the city was burned, and the country was razed... It seems a bit like an abyss invasion, or a certain king's action, but generally speaking, we are Invading other worlds in order to harvest souls, pure killing and destruction is meaningless."

"The Dragon God of Salvation descended from the top of the sky to fight the doomsday... Dragon God? It seems that this is the source of the blood of those Dragon Gods, isn't it a true god or an extremely powerful king-level powerhouse? It's possible, I'm really envious These dragon people have such good talents and conditions from the beginning."

"The battle lasted for a hundred days, and the world was destroyed into a desert. Although the victorious Dragon God successfully defeated the magic power, he was deeply injured and had to fall into a long sleep. Before he fell asleep, God created the Kronos Mountains... If there is no deviation in this paragraph, there is no falsification..."

After reading this, Syndicate suddenly shuddered, the Balrog felt chills all over his body: "Wait, let's talk... this world, I remember, I remember it is within the scope of the abyss!"

"Obviously, that doomsday war has completely destroyed this world and plunged it into the abyss—and the flowers, forests, rivers, and mountains around this village, so many dragonmen and monsters...could it be all That dragon god forcibly created it from the originally dead desert?!"

As a demon, Syndicate naturally knows what this means—a world that also has a cycle of order in the abyss? The abyss is above, this is simply the ultimate temptation for the demons who are thirsty for flames!

Once this kind of world is found, there is absolutely no reason not to fight for it! And since I have noticed the life fluctuation in the void and subconsciously came here, then the pursuers behind me and the demons in the surrounding abyss must have also noticed it, let alone those demon lords and even the abyss lords. Level strong.

"Especially the abyss lord!"

The Balrog is considered a high-level monster in the bottomless abyss. There are even a few abyss lords in their race. The inheritance is profound. Even if Syndicate doesn't think much, it still knows what the essence of the so-called lord is— ——That is the Lord of the World appointed by an abyss, the will of a world that has not completely dissipated! It is the natural ruler of that world, and it is also the embodiment of the will of that world. The purpose of all the actions of the abyss lord is to maintain the existence of that layer of abyss!

If an abyss lord discovers this world with a cycle of order, then it will come to attack here at all costs, and merge this world into that layer of abyss... This is to let a destroyed abyss , to return to a normal world, the only chance! The will of the abyss and its lord will definitely come to snatch it like crazy, no matter who stops in front of them, they will be completely torn apart! Not even God!

"No, this place is too dangerous!"

Feeling that it had glimpsed a glimpse of the truth of the world, Syndicate was horrified. It immediately felt that it should change its plan as soon as possible—Originally, the Balrog planned to slowly recover its strength, but now it seems that the progress should be accelerated, accelerated, and faster! Otherwise, when the abyss lord led his army and the kings to invade, he would not even have the strength to commit suicide.

"I heard Lisa said that there are many monsters in this mountain range, and the demon hunting team makes a living by expelling and beheading those monsters that try to invade the village, and occasionally hunt some monsters as a source of food."

Syndicate thought silently in his heart: It seems that it is time for Lisa to be more active. When her strength has improved to a certain level, let her take her out to see if she can hunt some monsters, and then it will devour the flesh and blood of monsters. Bones can also recover strength as quickly as possible.

"After all, demons are a race that won't wait." Thinking of this, the Balrog couldn't help sighing. According to its previous cognition and habits, now, the advance team of a certain demon army should have arrived, right?

... Time flies, and it is another ten days later.

In the dragon village in the Kronos Mountains, some strange anomalies suddenly appeared in this familiar mountain range.

The demon hunters who went out on patrol recently discovered some strange creatures that did not exist in the mountains. Although at first, they thought they were special monsters that sprang out from the desert of gods, but after investigation, the demon hunters discovered those Creatures are completely different from ignorant monsters, they seem to have wisdom.

After spending a lot of money and the sacrifice of a dozen elite demon hunters, the largest dragon villages roughly detected the types of these creatures that suddenly appeared: five different colors, which looked a bit like dragons A strange creature in the image of a dragon god in a human totem. The body is highly poisonous. Although they have different shapes, most of them are black and red ferocious creatures. The largest one has two horns on its head, two wings on its back, a thick tail, and a sulfur breath.

In addition, there are other creatures still hidden in the forest, but so far, the witcher has not noticed their true appearance.

"The Dragon God awakens from his long sleep, and the strange demons will also revive at the same time... The warnings passed down from the ancestors are indeed what they say."

In the underground secret room of a dragon village, a few worried old dragons talked softly: "Hundreds of years ago, the battle between the Dragon God and Doom was not over. When the Dragon God woke up, 'Doom' also It will recover, and after that, it will be the real decisive battle."

"A battle that determines the future fate of our 'Kronos World' and whether this world will be destroyed or reborn."

——in the void.

A winged demon hovers in the turbulent flow of time and space. There is a small communication light curtain in front of it, and it is relying on magic to communicate with the existence on the other end.

"Majesty, the advance team is lost, and we cannot observe the origin of the life fluctuation!"

The big demon with extreme strength respectfully said to the light curtain: "The place you told, now there is only a space-time turbulence, the advance team was involved, and most of them were crushed by the supercharged space-time." Broken, although there are some remnants, but they were also seriously injured, and I don’t know where they went.”

"Very good... have you started shielding the world coordinates? Your mission is over, now stay where you are and prepare to receive the First Army."

The existence on the other side of the light screen whispered softly, it did not reveal its true face, and a sneer could be heard: "Human magic is quite easy to use—it seems that the ancient dragon, or the original life body, was awakened Is it? It hasn't fully recovered yet, so we need to delay."

"However, even the original life body can't last for so long. More than ten days have passed. Now."

"A week at most, and it's going to give up."

Ask for a monthly pass...
