Extraterrestrial monsters, a terrifying existence that suddenly appeared on the continent of Ilgna two hundred and forty-five years ago.
They were like shooting stars and meteorites, appearing suddenly along with the huge magic circle that covered the sky like ten haloes. In the early days of their arrival, due to their meteor-like appearance, they were called people of the stars with awe by all the elves, and even some It was intended to be an object of sacrifice.
But it turned out that the name was completely wrong.
These bloodless, tearless monsters that take pleasure in killing look like humanoid puppets or beasts made of gray rocks. They have extremely hard shells that are resistant to magic. In the early stages of their arrival, they are indeed like a huge meteorite. But after the body surface cools down, these monsters, which later elves call stone demons, will begin to move and hunt all life of flesh and blood.
That year, in the first week of the advent, more than 500,000 people were killed by these monsters that descended from the sky. Because it was so long ago, there is currently no existing data as evidence, but the academic community believes that this number can only be higher, not necessarily higher. Few, because there are several ruins of cities and a large number of skeletons to prove the credibility of this guess.
The attacks of these extraterrestrial monsters further pushed the last elven dynasty into despair. Years later, the continuous rebel army and the new Gulf Federation finally overthrew it completely. However, the threat of the stone demons has not been eliminated, and has even worsened. The more intense.
“Oh my god, the amount!”
Looking at the sky, the defenders in the city couldn't help but gasp, and one person couldn't help but murmured: "It's a legion-level invasion! The mother tree is up, and what comes this time is an entire army of monsters! It's better than the last time in Cold Wind Valley More to come!”
Most of the soldiers who were selected to deal with the Volcano Dragon incident were veterans. They naturally knew about the Battle of Cold Wind Valley three years ago. Many of them even participated in it personally - that invasion almost destroyed a large federal fortress city. Once, but even so, hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, and everything within hundreds of miles was reduced to scorched ruins, and everyone couldn't help but shudder.
The headquarters was also in chaos. In their light curtain, the sky above the Babel Province was brightly lit, and countless meteors fell like rain, dragging red tracks in the mid-air.
"Fortunately, people were evacuated before..."
A certain commander was enjoying himself. He stared at the red light curtain in front of him. Although his mood was as bad as eating shit, he still shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of people will really die in this celebration. Even millions of people.”
In the distant Ministry of Technology Research Institute, countless technicians were urgently measuring the trajectory of the meteorite, and finally came to an astonishing conclusion: "Thirty percent of the stone demons will descend around the capital of Babel Province, and shock waves and explosions will Destroy a third of the building!”
"The estimated economic loss is 19 million kintara, and the death toll exceeds 120,000... Fortunately, most people have entered shelters, otherwise it would have been at least double."
No one thinks about how to stop it, because with the current technical capabilities of the Gulf Federation, they are unable to effectively intercept any object in the sky. The newly developed airship can only perform the task of suppressing the ground. We can wait until the stone demon falls to the ground before we talk.
In the capital, the original troops were prepared to prevent the impact, and the people accelerated their entry into the surrounding basements and houses. The shelter was too far away, so they could only find a place to deal with it.
In just a few breaths, the world seemed to be doomed and panic spread.
"Normin, don't stay there!"
In the shadow of the dragon horse's huge body, the elf couple were calling loudly for their child. They eagerly hoped that the boy standing next to the giant beast's claws would come over quickly and hide with them in the surrounding basement.
The boy named Normin looked hesitantly at Hei who was looking up at the sky, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Well, I'll be right there!"
As he said that, he turned his head, touched the dragon horse's huge paws with some nostalgia, and said regretfully: "It's so warm... Horse, you must be careful, the meteorites in the sky are very scary, don't get hurt."
The boy always felt that the giant beast in front of him was a horse, just like the one his grandfather often rode in his hometown. He didn't understand dragons or anything like that, but it must be a horse anyway, just a little big!
After finishing speaking, Normin ran quickly towards his parents who came to greet him, and was grabbed by his father neatly and held under his arm.
"Roar… "
When the boy and his parents took refuge in the basement of the surrounding building, Hei groaned and then looked at the sky intently.
In the sky, the clouds were separated and scattered layer by layer, and meteorites fell downwards with the momentum of destroying everything. The high sky was dyed red by the fire, and the sky was covered with a blood-like color.
It's really strong. This aura of chaos... is it the master's enemy
Ryoma thought with some nostalgia that the last time he encountered this kind of aura was during the Kuroshio years ago. At that time, it was just an ordinary war horse with a trace of dragon blood. When its owner fought with all his strength, he even reacted The momentum was a bit unbearable.
Although it had little wisdom at that time, its humiliation and unwillingness still persist to this day. It was a betrayal of its master's trust and hatred of its own powerlessness, so it tried its best to awaken a stronger bloodline.
So, it is no longer the same.
Running, he came to the square in the city center. The deserted square was full of fallen flags, tables and chairs, and the belongings left behind by countless people when they left in panic. Black stood in the center of this wide area, and it roared. , closed the golden dragon eyes, the ancient blood from ancient times was boiling in the body, eager to burn all enemies to ashes.
As a result, red light began to emerge around the huge dragon beast, and lava-like lines flowed in the black carapace, stirring up powerful pressure between light and dark.
Originating from Hei's body, the fire element, which is so hot and thick that it seems to be condensed into substance, appears from the atmosphere. It turns into layers of fire clouds and mist, surrounding it. Dark red arcs continue to emerge from here. Shooting out of the clouds, it brought out billowing winds that were strong enough to melt steel, and the heat that burned dry rivers instantly turned everything in the square to ashes.
The fire ignited, as if the stars had fallen to the ground.
"Warning! A high-energy reaction occurred in the central square! Repeat, a high-energy reaction occurred in the central square!"
"Is it the Volcano Dragon? What does it want to do..."
Suddenly, a rapid and harsh siren sounded throughout all the control rooms who were observing meteorites in the sky. They looked at the rapidly rising data in the light curtain in astonishment: "Twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand... Energy level 83,000." Thousands? Still rising rapidly?!"
"Incredible, this energy!"
"The temperature cannot be estimated. The magic circle was overloaded and damaged?!"
"What kind of monster is this?!"
"etc!"
One researcher seemed to have discovered something. He looked at the light curtain seriously, and then said in shock: "It is preparing to attack the stone demon's meteorite?!
A heat wave swept through the entire city, and the fierce firelight shined on everything like the sun. In just a few seconds, the wide square turned into a pool of lava. The golden-red light could no longer be looked directly at. Observation arrays were spread all around one after another. were destroyed due to violent elemental fluctuations, and only a few of the most complex and powerful magic circles were left to witness the next scene.
Meteorites from outside the sky roared and fell to the earth. It was a force that no city wall could stop. The breath of chaos spread, seeming to destroy everything.
And above the ground, amidst the fierce firelight and elemental mist, a high-pitched dragon roar sounded. The voice was full of majesty from ancient times, disgust for chaos and anticipation of battle. It was echoed by all the defenders, people taking refuge and In the astonished eyes of the commander and researchers who were still observing, three light spots lit up in the cloud of fire. They were a pair of golden dragon eyes and a dazzling core. The huge dragon horse's chest was condensed with something like With strong light like the sun, the golden core seemed to be boiling, and the descendant of the ancient dragon used his full strength for the first time.
"Roar-----"
Accompanied by the dragon's roar, a beam of light that could not be described as anything other than bright and dazzling rose from the center of the city and soared straight into the sky. It hit a falling meteorite in an instant.
Then, a sound ten times louder than thunder appeared high in the sky above Babel Province.
The clouds in the sky were stirred up in an instant, and the red light in the sky was completely covered. Only a complete golden white could be seen in the observation array. After that, everyone was shocked to find that the numbers in the original direction were Nearly a hundred or even more meteorites have disappeared, leaving nothing in the sky.
"Stone... Thirty-seven percent of the stone demon's meteorites have been wiped out. It is expected that all the stone demons that fell in the capital of Babel Province will be wiped out!"
"The energy level of that strike just now exceeded 150,000, which is equivalent to ten super large magic energy furnaces operating at full capacity. Is this really a living thing?!"
The commander-in-chief stared at this scene in his aerospace boat office, and he did not close his eyes even when the dazzling bright light came in bursts.
"Fortunately..."
With his hands trembling a little, the red-haired elf took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. This is a cigarette-shaped stimulant made from Awakening Herb. Urken has been using this stimulant since he often felt weak in physical strength five years ago. product to stay sane in situations like this.
Taking a deep breath, Urken closed his eyes and calmed down a little. Then he realized that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat. The ten seconds just now were probably the most exciting scene in his life, and Seventy years ago, as the leader of the rebellion that overthrew the last Elf Dynasty, he was assassinated by five shadow assassins at home.
"Even if it really detonated the volcano, we'd better not do anything..." Exhaling a circle of smoke, he whispered to himself: "What's more, it may not be it."
"Fortunately... we were cautious and did not attack."
On the side, Director Laura said in a trembling tone. He was almost paralyzed now. He only had one hand left to pull on the armrest of the chair, maintaining his sitting posture. Although the image was very embarrassing, But the silver-haired and purple-eyed director of the Biological Research Institute was very happy: "What if this blow had hit the city instead of the sky..."
He did not continue what he said next, because everyone knew what the consequences would be. It was a loss that no elf or city could bear.
And in the center of the square, Hei was breathing heavily.
The thick mist of the fire element gradually dissipated. The lava lines on the black carapace of the dragon horse were gradually fading away, and the golden core on the chest was also slightly dimmed.
Even if it is a high-level golden ancient dragon bloodline, it is beyond its load to deliver such a blow. This is also because it is the first time to take action after advancing. Hei cannot control the limit of his power and can only attack all at once. The power poured out, leaving no trace of strength behind.
However, it seems that the effect is pretty good. This kind of power should be able to help the master.
Looking at the sky, Ryoma nodded. Although some meteorites were still falling, they did not fall in the direction around the city. This was enough for Hei who had been taught to protect the city.
In the square, because it lost the support of the surging high-heat fire element, the lava was condensing rapidly, and a large amount of heat was being recycled. But at this time, it made some strange discoveries that the elements in the atmosphere were unusually thin.
-This is not normal.
Hei couldn't help but wonder. You know, when it was in Sigma volcano, it felt that the elements were very strong. The thickness was almost the same as that of the Great Ajax volcano, and even a little higher. This proved that the elements of the two worlds The concentration and energy level should be equal, and it is precisely because of this that it can quickly absorb power and become stronger there.
But now... the elements in the air seem to be being extracted by something, and are passing away bit by bit. As an ancient dragon bloodline, Longma is far more sensitive to elements than most living things. Elves cannot compare with it at all. Only pure energy life can be compared with it. It can be sure that the elements in the atmosphere are slowly passing away. If they dissipate at this speed, maybe the world will become a forbidden land for magic in a few decades. Only the use of magic crystal energy can Or the runic circle of the power of the world itself can operate.
And it can also confirm that the energy level of this world was originally similar to that of Mycroft Continent, but it became the current situation because of the passage of many years.
Of course, Hei doesn't care about this, but now it can't recover its physical strength quickly because of this. This feeling is really sad. It groaned in anger, and it felt a little dizzy in its brain, and a surge of energy surged through its body that was never tired. Waves of powerlessness.
Creatures such as monsters and dragons are too powerful, so they are also restricted by the environment. Hei slowly lay on the ground, entrenching his body in the center of the square like a dragon.
It now felt that it was in urgent need of rest, at least to regain enough strength to move.
In the research room, there was discussion.
"Are you a little tired?"
"Definitely, the ultimate energy level of that blow just now exceeded 100,000. Even a real biological volcano needs to sleep for a while."
"Then, should we take advantage of this opportunity..."
A researcher thought for a while and said hesitantly: "Take it..."
But what he said later was immediately blocked, because more than a dozen people in the entire research room stared at him silently, as if looking at a mentally retarded person.
"Are you stupid?"
Immediately, merciless reprimands came pouring in: "It would be the best of luck if it didn't attack us. What do you want to do?"
"It just destroyed the stone demon's meteorite, and it did so in an extremely violent way - this proves that it and the stone demon are in an antagonistic relationship. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Don't you understand?"
"The Mother Tree is above, let me just say this. Except for a few weapons that are being secretly developed, all other equipment currently in service in the Federation is almost impossible to cause harm to the Volcano Dragon. Don't even think about it."
In the center of the square, Hei, who was being discussed by everyone, completely closed his golden dragon eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
But at the same time, an incomparably huge will, which seemed to be the incarnation of the earth and the great will of the origin of life, also came here due to the violent energy fluctuations that had never appeared in this world before.
"This is… "
In the void, the huge will slowly observed the body of Ryoma: "Refining the blood of the black dragon... the deep sea volcano, the incarnation of the fire in the water, how could its descendants appear in this world... "
It seemed to be a little confused: "It has been more than a thousand years. Since I left, I have never received news from my hometown... Where did this little guy come from?"
Although I can't think of the reason, I am still very happy to meet a familiar existence. "The concentration of elements in the atmosphere is too low, causing physical discomfort? This is my fault... Then give you strength."
With a thought of this will, extremely thick elements appeared around Hei's body. Ryoma was suddenly awakened. It looked around in surprise. The light of magic and elements surrounded it like a rainbow. This was far better than Sigma Volcano. There is even more intensive elemental power in it.
-what happened
Although it is not clear what is going on, Black is still a horse - or a dragon - anyway, it never bothers with such trivial matters, but happily absorbs these elements and restores its own physical strength.
—However, these elements seem to have a slight fragrance of grass and trees
In just a few breaths, Hei regained his basic physical strength, and the golden core on his chest also returned to its original brightness. The researchers in the institute who watched this scene suddenly felt even more grateful that they had not done anything before—such a speed of recovery, I'm afraid that the other party would have returned to its full glory before the car even had time to drive over.
The great will looked at this scene, and then slowly disappeared into the void.
It also needs to be dormant. The severe injury suffered thousands of years ago has not been healed yet. This time it is an exception to see a familiar existence appear. It may take a long time to appear again in this world next time.
The sky is slowly rotating, and the ten-ring halo array covering the entire sky is gradually disappearing behind the sky. Its appearance is as mysterious as its disappearance, without any sound or warning.
Things in the world of Ilgona have come to an end for the time being, but in the Mycrof continent, the Northern Empire, and the Three Mountains Holy City.
Joshua and Brandon had arrived at the center of the inner city, the royal residence, in front of the Morlay Palace.

So, I have more than 4,500 for one chapter, which is actually not too little. I hate that one chapter is divided into two chapters, so it seems that the frequency is very small, but the amount is very sufficient!
Also, Happy New Year to all of you, a new year and a new atmosphere, and you are all Europeans in drawing cards!
