Master, does he really need a mount
On the ground, after breathing out his strongest dragon's breath, Hei watched Joshua turn into a ball of red fire and rush towards the Sky Fortress with endless spells. What was on his mind was not worry, but worry. It is the worry about the definition of one’s own existence.
The warrior can run faster than it, can fly, and its combat effectiveness is even better than that of a large number. Most of the time, it is just like helping others - Master, this guy, does he really need a mount
But no matter how worried the half-dragon was, the battle continued.
In the sky.
Even if it breaks through the barrier and spell interception, the Sky Fortress still has the ability to resist.
The remaining magic runes burst into glory the moment Joshua burst into the interior of the protective wall, and an invisible, colorless, extremely pure magical energy turned into a translucent torrent and flooded towards the warrior.
As a derivative of the power at the beginning of creation, magic has the power to achieve everything in the hands of a powerful mage. Although pure magic cannot do anything because it has no instructions, this is also its power - everything will be overturned. Pure power, assimilation and annihilation, is also the simplest and crudest way to use it.
But for Joshua, this was too simple and crude. The wave of translucent magic power surged forward. He didn't even bother to block it, but simply rushed over!
Even if he could assimilate everything, he would still need time to react. The warrior was too close to the Sky Fortress. No matter how strong the pure magic was, it would be impossible for him to assimilate it within a few tenths of a second of crossing the wave. Falling, a red light flashed by, and Joshua chopped a magic rune flashing with blue light into pieces with one sword.
Now, there are only three magic runes left in the Sky Fortress, which is half of the magic runes. The fortress that originally maintained a strong offensive came to a standstill for an instant, and then a large number of magic circles dissipated. The pure magic wave could not last long, and was destroyed. absorbed by the atmosphere.
The enemy is getting weaker and weaker, but Joshua's momentum is getting stronger and stronger. His outermost layer of skin is indeed assimilated by magic power, and he also suffered serious internal injuries due to the invisible impact, but under the azure orb and golden strongman The inhuman regeneration speed did not affect the battle. At this moment, the warrior did not pause at all. After smashing this magic rune, he rushed towards another rune.
This time, he used all his strength.
A red lightning suddenly lit up over the Delaire Peninsula between the Babel Province and the Origin Mountains. The lightning was so dazzling that it even overshadowed the light of the rising sun. Among other cities, among the stone demons and Most of the elves who were lucky enough to survive the meteor shower did not see this scene, but there were still a small number of people who noticed it.
Then, they discovered that all the stone demons stagnated for a moment, and the sky in the distance lit up with a brighter flash of red lightning than before.
This flash of light was continuous and dazzling, and in the end, it even turned into a small sun.
"What is that? A new stone demon?"
An elf hiding in his home looked at the sky blankly, and not just him, all the elves who noticed this, even the stone demon, looked in that direction.
The elves on the Delaire Peninsula could see a clearer scene.
The elf explorer who escaped hiding in a cave because he was exploring in the wild cautiously stuck his head out and looked into the air. He took a breath and opened his eyes wide as he heard the rumbling sound.
"Floating city... falling?!"
In mid-air, the Sky Fortress slowly fell to the ground in violent explosions. Five of the six magic runes that maintained its power have been destroyed. The only remaining one is now shining with azure light, but it is completely Unable to support its own huge weight, it could only fall slowly.
There are still magic circles and hexagonal translucent walls that appear and disappear around it. Several corrosive rays fly out. The sky fortress still seems to want to shoot down the person standing in the sky looking down at it.
But it was of no use. Although the black-haired man was extremely tired and suffered serious injuries from resisting the wave of magic, it was not something that could be solved by just a few rays. He waved his arms, and the big black The axe's surface acted like a shield, blocking all light, while the ax itself remained unscathed.
This was the final attack. After this, a more violent explosion occurred from inside the fortress. This was due to the backlash caused by the destruction of the magic circuit. Pillars of fire and lightning shot out from the gaps in the exterior. This huge thing floating in the air was like a burning meteorite. Finally, with a huge explosion that was ten times louder than thunder, the entire sky fortress exploded completely. Along with the ring-shaped shock wave, countless flying fireballs exploded. Falling into the earth.
Most of the flying stone demons in the sky have been wiped out, and even if there are some left, they cannot pose a threat to everyone present.
The battle is over for now.
Landing on the ground, Joshua deactivated Ying and Rin's magical powers. The silver-haired girl seemed to be very excited and happy because of the long-lost fierce battle, but the black-haired boy was because he had been used as a shield to resist the corrosive ray. He looked a little distracted, and there was even a misty glint in his eyes, but overall, the atmosphere was very cheerful, and even Joshua smiled when he saw the ruins of the Sky Fortress scattered all over the ground.
On the side, Loranda and Hei also came here. After saying hello and celebrating the victory, the Paladin did not waste any time and said directly: "Joshua, there are many stone demons behind us. It’s better not to stay too long.”
He didn't interrupt the atmosphere intentionally, it was just the fact: "Maybe they will catch up soon."
"I know."
Nodding, Joshua agreed with Rolanda's opinion. He naturally knew that there were at least dozens of rock giants and nearly endless stone demons behind him. These monsters were an aggregation of monsters from several provinces, but now they all came forward. Come to surround and suppress everyone: "You really think highly of us."
As for the reason...it seems to be because of the Azure Orb.
Raising a hand and pressing it on his chest, Joshua felt the heat brought by the blue gem. It vibrated like a beating heart, hot and eager to fight.
As the inheritor of Order, he has a natural aversion to Chaos, and the Familia of Chaos are naturally the same, and there will be no exception. If those monsters can really sense the power of Order in the Azure Orb and himself, then this kind of The situation is not surprising at all.
"So Master, where are we going next?"
Ying asked curiously: "Before, Hei just randomly chose a direction to escape. We are completely unfamiliar with this place."
"Well, the books given by the elves we met before only let us know that this world is called Ilgona. The other information is pitiful, let alone the map."
Rin, who had calmed down a little, also complained. He seemed to hate this feeling of unknown everything: "So far, we don't even know the origin of the enemy. Who are the masters of these magic puppets? The puppets must have a commander. Bar?"
"Don't think about it. It took those elves three hundred years to figure it out."
Loranda shrugged. He didn't look worried at all. Instead, he had an inexplicable sense of calm. The Paladin spread his hands and said: "Seven Gods above, I don't think we can figure it out in a short time, but anyway I have no choice but to fight when I encounter enemies and kill all these monsters. This is the only way."
As soon as he said this, everyone else and a dragon all looked at him. Just when the Paladin felt a little confused, the silver-haired girl said softly: "It seems that he has been assimilated..."
Loranda: "...?"
While several people were arguing about the word assimilation, Joshua walked to the scattered ruins aside. He rummaged through the debris caused by the explosion of the Sky Fortress, as if he was looking for something.
Finally, under the guidance of the Azure Orb, he actually found a strange item.
A half-destroyed nimbus.
This nimbus releases a faint blue light. Like the previous silver nimbus and the core obtained from Thunder Mountain, it is covered with cracks and its luster is sometimes bright and sometimes dark, but no matter what, it releases a wave of light. A strange power, which contains a very faint breath of chaos. It is precisely because of this that the Azure Orb can react.
Frowning, Joshua silently stared at the object in his hand.
Another nimbus? Even after the self-destruction of the Sky Fortress, it was not completely destroyed. How tough is this
Thinking of the reminder that the souls of the forest had given him in the spiritual world before, 'Collect every nimbus you can get,' the warrior put it away silently, then turned around and walked towards where everyone was. As he walked, He said loudly: "Okay, everyone, get ready to leave. If you don't leave, the enemy will really catch up."
"Where to go?"
Loranda gave up discussing what assimilation was with Ying and Rin, turned around and asked with some confusion: "We don't even know where we are currently."
"You don't know, I know."
Shaking his head, Joshua shifted his gaze to look at the half-dragon, with a look of commendation on his face: "The direction Hei chose before was correct. He can't do it. As for now, let's set off as soon as possible. You and I will be together on the way. Explain the ins and outs of this world."
This was a normal order, and naturally no one had any objections. But just as everyone got on Hei's back, the half-dragon quickly ran in the original direction, bringing up dust all over the ground, and in the distance On the other side of the horizon, the figures of rock giants and stone demons are slowly emerging.
On Hei's back, Joshua told everyone about the process of his previous communication with the will of the soul named Qunsen Soul in the spiritual world.
Due to time constraints, although Souls of the Forest does not explain everything in this world in detail, it does focus on two important things - the origin of the elves in this world, and the existence behind the stone demons.
Putting these two points together, you can roughly see the truth behind the fog, as well as the causes and consequences of everything.
The beginning of everything came from the end of the Glorious Era three hundred years before the Mycroft continent was lost.
That era, when all races resisted chaos.
I will change the wording later
