Joshua looked at the galloping army of wild gods in front of him with a sense of nostalgia. Countless trembling crystal carapaces reflected fine light, like the sparkling waves of fish swarming on the sea.
The scene in front of him flashed in his pupils, and vaguely, the warrior's eyes seemed to be able to see two worlds.
In a world, the sky is burning, fire-like red cloud vortices are surging in the sky, and the roaring wind is blowing across the earth, turning the originally solidified gray stone into lava again. With the thunderous roar, the demon army is trampling The flowing magma swarmed in like a swarm of insects.
In another world, the sky is dark, and the earth is dim due to the cover of clouds. Above the sky, the sun will go out, and the cold wind sweeps across everything, causing tornadoes of ash to rise on the desolate dust plains, while the army of the Aragami is silent It rushes across the frozen land, like a wave of death that swallows everything.
In a moment of trance, the two worlds gradually overlapped. Joshua seemed to feel that he was standing on the Naya Fortress in the Ruins of Ashes, wearing rune armor and holding an adamantine sword, fighting side by side with his comrades in the battle group to resist the enemy. The demonic army coming from the abyss.
But the cold wind blew and woke him up.
As far as the eye could see, the Aragami who appeared from between the cracks in the earth told him that everything in the past had passed. This was not the world he had fought in before, but a brand new battlefield.
"Huh..."
Joshua took a deep breath and his eyesight returned to clarity. He looked around. Moria, Claire and Rin all looked at him one by one. The old dwarf and elf nodded, showing off the weapons in their hands. Said that he could fight at any time.
Nodding in response, Joshua knew that he was no longer the legendary warrior in the disputed continent.
Now, he is the head of the Radcliffe family, the guardian who annihilates Chaos. He is in the world of Kallis that is on the verge of ending. He stands on a mountain-like steel mobile fortress, facing the endless army of wild gods - and Ready to fight.
"woo woo woo woo-"
The fortress is still speeding forward, the whistle roars, white mist spurts out, exuding a brilliant light of magic, the rumble of steel running overpowers all the wind, Aragami chases after it, opening a long strip.
Along the way, you can see the ruins of countless cities, and occasionally you can see some towering stone buildings that still retain their appearance thousands of years ago, like a tall lighthouse not far away, with a faint light shining at the top, but Now, it was overwhelmed and engulfed by the rushing Aragami, and turned into dust amidst the loud collapse.
"Everyone."
The projection of No. 3 appeared next to everyone again, and she said calmly: "There is a hilly area ahead. The speed of the fortress will slow down, and some wild gods will catch up. I have an automatic rune defense system, but it is not perfect. At that time, I hope you can help me drive away these wild gods who have boarded the fortress."
"As it should be."
Joshua naturally agreed to No. 3's request. He knew that the steel base carrying the fortress was already in ruins. This must be the trace left by the constant battle with the god of waste in the past thousand years. The soldier also knew that No. 3 had There are ways to deal with the Aragami who boarded the fortress, but they will definitely have to bear a certain loss. They came out of the fortress just to fight the Aragami, so how could they refuse this request.
"Thank you so much."
Nodding slightly, the projection of No. 3 turned to look at Aragami's army, remaining silent.
Soon after, a faint tremor was heard. The fortress had reached the hilly area, and its movement slowed down significantly.
The Aragami of different shapes ran regardless of the terrain. Their speed remained unchanged. The army was rapidly approaching the fortress, and the front end of the black wave even touched the tail of the steel base.
"10...8,7...5,4..."
Vaguely, Qiao Xiu seemed to hear No. 3 counting down something in a low voice. The black-winged Kallis intelligent wings were trembling, as if he was a little excited.
"3, 2, 1."
When the countdown ended, No. 3's expression began to become vivid. This artificial intelligence, which had always been extremely calm and expressionless, as if it had no emotions at all, finally showed a smile. She looked a little excited and whispered softly: "Prepare to attack. !”
Following the command of the artificial intelligence that controlled the entire fortress, countless densely packed weapon launch ports popped up around the fortress, and endless honeycomb-like translucent magic circles appeared in front of it, completely covering the huge city-like fortress. In the center of each magic circle, golden light is condensing.
"Glow cluster cannon—fire all missiles!"
In the thousands of years of aimless driving, there has been no goal, only the destruction of Chaos, an artificial intelligence eager to laugh happily: "Go to hell! Chaos!"
With a command, the magic circle was closed, and countless light bullets turned into a line and shot directly into the array of the Aragami army. The golden glow exploded instantly, like small suns, tearing apart the dark mist easily. . In an instant, countless dazzling beams of light were generated, cutting through the chaotic army.
Rays of light emerged from the magic circle in an endless stream, as fast as lightning. They passed through a distance of several thousand meters and fell on the still-running Aragami army, causing violent explosions again and again. explode.
But how many Aragami are there? Although the fortress's attack was powerful, it was unable to cause obvious losses to Aragami's army. In the blink of an eye, in the rising black mist, many empty holes in the army were filled again.
There was nothing unpleasant about the projection of No. 3. She had long been accustomed to fighting this kind of enemy with no upper limit. However, Aragami's army endured intensive bombing and once again caught up with the steel base of the fortress, and even had to climb up. superior.
The artificial intelligence shook its head and said softly: "Start."
"Rumble..."
Due to the command of the controller, the low roar of steel moving and friction came. At the top of the huge steel pyramid, around the Crystal Sun, a densely packed steel tower rose. The tower was surrounded by countless complicated runes, forming an almost... Endless arrays.
Claire, who was gathering magic power and preparing to deal with the Aragami who was about to rush to the fortress, was stunned for a moment. Moria, who was gathering fighting spirit, also kept his eyes fixed. Even Joshua couldn't help but raise his head and look at the surroundings above the fortress. The sky is also covered by countless magic circles.
The energy, which is so huge and complex that it can distort space, flows out from the core inside the steel pyramid like a river, forming a golden nebula-like light above the Crystal Sun. With the blessing of countless magic circles, this light quickly spreads. It expands and grows, exuding an incomparable power of order. Around it, the space is also distorted, the blooming brilliance shines like a real sun, and the faint buzzing sound shakes the world.
"Fire Sun Flash—Launch!"
No. 3 issued the order again. Listening to this voice, even without seeing her face, Joshua could guess the other party's expression. It was obviously a smile of extreme excitement and joy.
After the launch command was given, the wind stopped.
People from Mycroft's world finally saw the terrifying power of the Mobile Fortress, the pinnacle creation of the Kallis people.
"call."
An indescribable slight vibration sounded, resounding in everyone's ears. Joshua suddenly felt his body sink instantly, as if gravity had increased. Along with this vision, the light ball on the Crystal Sun bloomed. The light shines on the heaven and earth like the real sun, even the mountains and hills under the clouds are illuminated. The world that has been ruled by chaos and darkness for thousands of years once again welcomes the light.
Then, the light ball turned into a stream of light and shot straight towards the Aragami's army!
Rumble————
Violent light bombarded the earth, and the soil rose like huge waves like water. Countless dust was blasted into the sky, and then dispersed into a rain of dust. Under the attack of this terrifying beam of light, the endless army of the Aragami was sliced through. Open, tens of thousands of Aragami were turned into ashes under this blow.
A tunnel with a bottom full of lava appeared on the earth, like a scar, and the Aragami army was cut into a passage hundreds of meters wide.
But this terrifying attack cannot destroy all monsters.
Several huge creatures with strange lights all over their bodies broke through the smoke and dust caused by the explosion. They were covered with ferocious crystal carapace, and there was no damage on their bodies. These insect-like monsters opened their mouths wide, let out a silent roar, and then headed towards Looking at the huge base on the steel fortress, the only living creatures - Joshua and his party rushed towards them.
But no one showed fear, and everyone even laughed.
"Number 3 did everything she could."
Joshua looked at these gold-level gods flying towards them quickly. He said to his friends beside him, and then stretched out his left hand to the young boy beside him: "It's our turn now."
The warrior held Rin's hand tightly, and a wave of magic power erupted. After a dazzling glow, an extremely heavy long-handled double-edged ax that seemed to be able to split mountains appeared in Joshua's hand. At the end is a black chain, and the other end of the chain is embedded in the warrior's left wrist.
He waved the black giant ax in his hand, and the air was broken by the blade, making a roaring sound. Joshua's whole body was ignited with red fighting spirit, and he shouted loudly, "Come on!"
