The colorless holy beam of light shot straight into the sky, creating a circular vacuum in the cloud-filled sky. Some citizens who happened to raise their heads witnessed this scene. They shouted in surprise, and then raised their arms to remind the acquaintances around them to look. After this obvious change, not long after, many people gathered together and pointed at the holes in the clouds in the sky.
Ordinary people have noticed something is wrong, let alone powerful professionals.
On the fortress tower, the Ural Mountains fortress garrison commander and city lord who was inspecting, and a gold-level heavy armored swordsman, Kate Medsett, rushed to the top of the tower with a cautious face at the first time. Unlike other ordinary soldiers, he You can clearly see the translucent light pillar that penetrates the clouds and sky.
"At the city gate? What happened..."
He muttered to himself in confusion. As the city lord, Kate knew that he had to respond to these unknown events as soon as possible. But now that there were no casualties or damage, there was still plenty of time. After thinking for a while, he The messenger beside him issued a series of instructions.
"Is this the power of the Holy Light?"
In the central church of the fortress, the Bishop of the Ural Diocese raised his heavy scepter. This terrifying weapon weighing three hundred pounds touched the stone ground during the movement, making a dull impact. Compared to the priest, it seemed that The bishop, who looked more like a warrior, walked to the door of the church doubtfully. He stared at the light pillar that had not dissipated, and was full of doubts: "No, this kind of power is more pure, but it has the same origin as the holy light..."
"What exactly is this power?"
The same doubts came from the local mercenary agency, which is also the hall where the mercenary union is located. Within hundreds of kilometers, the most powerful mage and the most skilled alchemist, Although the director of the mercenary agency, Jean Wilmot, stayed thirty meters underground, through the detection spell, he could clearly sense the power of order from the outside world, although not violent, but extremely clear. The mage who had never seen such pure power couldn't help but put down the quill he was writing runes in, and then carefully observed the various data displayed on the magic instrument. He murmured to himself: "Weird things, there are still some... An extremely evil force..."
At this time, it was the center of discussion and the focus of everyone's hearts.
Joshua held the azure orb in his hand and frowned. The carriage, which was originally strong enough to withstand artillery design, had been completely scattered by the powerful force and turned into wreckage.
With the warrior as the center, everyone within a radius of several hundred meters was pushed away by a gentle force. Even the coachman was sent aside by the sudden force of order. The loyal and honest coachman is still there. He was wondering why he suddenly appeared on the other side of the artificial river, but for a while, he couldn't find the reason.
Now, Joshua had no time or attention to care about other things. All his energy was focused on controlling the sudden burst of power from the azure orb in his hand, as well as the evil soul fluctuation lurking in his body.
Before, just at the moment when he had a warning sign, an extremely evil force, with a wave of power capable of destroying all souls, crossed the void and sank directly into his body. In the midst of shock and anger, before Joshua was still Before he could resist, he made direct contact with his soul.
-curse? Or some kind of soul attack
Even an experienced person like Joshua doesn't know the nature of this attack. In fact, curses and spiritual attacks are the aspects he knows the least about and is least good at. You know, in the game in the previous life, whether it was curses or spiritual attacks, Soul attacks are just a prompt or negative status from the system, or they are directly judged. If the judgment is not passed, a certain amount of negative status or damage will be given. After all, no one has ever really been attacked by this kind of attack, so there is nothing they can do about it. Imagine it, simulate it.
Joshua has now experienced it for real - I can only say that it is very uncomfortable.
Although the warrior's soul was very powerful, it was enough to temporarily withstand this terrifying force, but he was not prepared enough to expel it from his body. When he was attacked, Joshua completely froze in place. Unable to move, unable to do anything except fight against the force.
At the beginning, he could only passively withstand the invasion of the evil wave, and used his tough steel soul to fight against the strange destructive power again and again. It felt like having his nerves dug out and exposed to a temperature of fifty degrees below zero. The cold wind was as painful as splashing salt water on it. Every time he fought, Joshua felt his ears filled with a strange and piercing sound, as if the sound of glass and steel rubbing against each other filled his brain, affecting his concentration.
Even when Joshua was most seriously injured, he had never been in such pain. The warrior felt that his spiritual sea had become an extremely fierce battlefield.
Subconsciously during the confrontation, Joshua reached out and grasped the continuously vibrating Azure Orb on his chest. This was originally just an instinctive move, but it did him a big favor - the moment he held the Azure Orb. , the warrior suddenly felt that the power of order that was silently flowing in his body was mobilized. It was connected with a certain power in the orb. Suddenly, with the sound of flames igniting, the immeasurable power of order exploded on the spot. Like the most dazzling torch, it penetrated his body and soul, replacing Joshua's will and suppressing the evil power in the spiritual sea.
The dark green waves struggled continuously as if they were alive, but were completely suppressed by the power of order. They could only move slightly and could no longer get close to the warrior's soul.
At this time, Joshua had time to take a breath. After calming down, he exhaled, and then devoted part of his energy to controlling the power in the Azure Orb, suppressing the evil soul fluctuations in his body, and then began to think about this matter. What happened.
"Someone cursed or attacked me with a soul attack."
There is no doubt about this - muttering to himself viciously, Joshua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, with blazing anger in his eyes and a sinking face: "This works suddenly, without any The omen's attack should be a curse... Then who is it?!"
This kind of targeted curse attack that can almost wipe out the soul of a determined golden peak warrior is undoubtedly not something that small forces can afford, and large forces will definitely need various media to accurately locate him. The presence.
Without thinking, Joshua knew that this was an assassination aimed specifically at him, and the only people who would go to great lengths to deal with him, the almost uncontested lord of the North, were those damn evil dragons in the south. !
"...This assassination is not over yet?"
The previous demon-blood dragons, this group of dragons seemed to have not given up on the curse this time. They had clearly launched a dragon disaster in the south, but they still used so many resources against him.
Temporarily suppressing his anger, Joshua released his right hand holding the Azure Orb. He frowned, rolled his eyes, and turned his attention to the evil fluctuations inside his body that were suppressed by the Azure Orb.
But it was a good thing that he didn't pay attention before. Now that he paid attention, the soldier noticed the blind spot that he had ignored before.
This strange dark green wave that is still struggling and trying to attack Joshua's soul contains an extremely strong aura of chaos. If the power of order erupted from the orb was not too strong and completely covered it up, he should have You should have discovered this a long time ago.
"Now the only ones who are aboveboard and collude with Chaos are indeed those dragons."
Having determined the target again, Joshua looked at the soul fluctuation in his body and couldn't help but get a headache: "Such a strong power of order has not purified it, so how can it be eliminated?"
Generally speaking, in addition to lifting the curse, the only other way to eliminate it is to use pure power to eliminate it.
He couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he could only do this for the time being, so he prepared to carefully try to touch the soul wave, and then use the overwhelming power of order to expel or erase it. The warrior acted quickly, As soon as he thought of it, he started to implement it. His tenacious soul was like silver steel, simply separating the layers of order power and getting close to the black wave that had no shape or characteristics but was constantly tumbling.
Halfway through the approach, his soul felt a pain as if it was being eroded and burned by acid.
But compared with the pain of directly confronting the horror before, this pain was as pleasant as the warm breeze of early spring. Instead, it made Joshua drive his soul more decisively and get closer to the opponent.
His silver soul, carrying a huge amount of power of order, touched the black mist fluctuations.
And at the moment when the severe pain came, something strange happened that had never happened before - a burst of intense cyan light poured out from the azure orb on Joshua's chest, turned into a halo, and floated above the warrior's chest. Above his head, as the halo rotated, a series of illusions appeared in front of his eyes.
White light flashed, and countless scattered scenes appeared like slides.
He saw that it was a vast, endless plain, with countless creatures multiplying on it, and a group of wandering humans came here. They drove away the wild beasts, burned the forest, and created a clean and clean environment. They built a village here, built walls, lit the first bonfire, and swore that this would be their eternal home.
He saw countless refugees coming from far away to join them. They built different buildings around the village, sown different seeds, and harvested different crops. At the beginning, there were still disputes among the various tribes, but as time went by , different people swore in front of the fire in the center of the city that they would work together to fight for their own survival.
He saw that under the illumination of this flame, villages became cities, cities became countries, and countries merged races into the original civilization.
The flame representing humanity is burning in the torch of the giant city. Its light shines on the earth and sky, brightening an entire era.
The illusion appeared and disappeared, flashing constantly. The warrior tried his best, but could only see one or two fragments, and could never know the whole picture behind it.
Until the end, all the scenes turned into silent darkness.
Just when Joshua was confused, countless memory fragments flashed like flashes of light.
This time, there was an air of despair.
It was a dead and desolate world. There was no breath of living things on the earth. Corpses were everywhere, and mountains of rotting bones were everywhere. Between the flying ashes, the horrific diseases caused by the war had already spread to the entire world, from the ocean to the earth. From the mountains to the sky, forests, swamps, lakes, and deserts, there is no place that is not shrouded in death. All life is invaded by the plague and cannot be relieved.
Behind the dark green poisonous cloud, there is a huge shadow floating. Between the intertwined shadows, countless strange limbs and tentacles hang down from the sky. When all life is about to end, it wraps the world, and the monster incarnated by the plague is born. , huge tentacles with abscesses, rotten flesh and mucus swept across the sky and earth, taking the lives of all survivors without mercy. This evil with infinite malice was sublimated after harvesting the civilization of a world, and achieved Powerful enough to travel to the outside world.
Two completely different illusions appeared on both sides of Joshua. One side was like a burning flame, emitting an extremely bright light, and the other side was like a bottomless putrid abyss, pregnant with poison that could corrupt the world. .
Although he knew that he was trapped in an illusion, Joshua's spirit was as clear as ever. He stood at the midpoint of the two worlds, as motionless as a rock. Facing the endless evil whispers and mental erosion on one side, the warriors were furious. Nose, with endless curiosity, he turned to look at the blazing fire on the other side.
Then he saw a pair of eyes that seemed to be able to look directly into people's hearts.
