Wherever I go there is blood and death.
Because the battle itself means the defeat of one party.
…But I couldn’t stop.
No matter what it is, it can be used as a reason to fight - to protect the people you like, to protect the world you love, etc. If you think about it, no matter how noble the reason is, you can find it at will.
But that's just a reason.
A friend of mine once said that my desire to fight drove me crazy... but that was not the case.
Only fighting can satisfy my thirst; only the blood of my enemies can suppress my anger—
The bone-white arm clenched the spear, and the divine power vibrated, causing the surrounding light to ripple. Joshua stood in the air with his head held high, maintaining the black beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth.
At this time, he is a part that transmits divine power. Whether it is hands, feet, body or brain, every organ has turned into a cold machine. In order to better transform the divine power into a destructive beam of light, he continues to operate, even if it is It is almost worn out, but it still has to withstand the huge meteorite in the sky.
The warrior just stood motionless, letting the long river of soul light pour into his body and penetrate into his limbs and bones. It was not that he didn't notice this, but that he was unable to make any reaction to it.
But just as the soul light penetrated his body, Joshua felt a hint of warmth.
It was a hint of pulsation and warmth from the heart.
The heart that had stopped beating long ago and became the core of the circulation of divine power shook slightly for a moment, which made the warrior tremble all over. He had already been unable to control his body that was about to be completely destroyed by the divine power, but now he suddenly had a trace of strength.
The heart pulses and conducts miraculous power. This power is filled with the passion and determination of life, making the cold machine turn into a human body again.
This power was originally weak, like a gurgling river, but soon, the infinite soul light gathered and turned into a mighty river. Joshua took a deep breath, and the hot air that had been evaporated by the divine power flowed down his throat and into his lungs. , brought abnormally hot pain, but this pain stimulated his spirit and made the warrior completely wake up.
At this moment, he understood the reason and origin of everything.
"Really... I see, you don't want to die so worthlessly."
Murmuring softly, Joshua, who had just been pulled back from the border of death, exhaled a breath of hot breath full of blood. Turning his head, the warrior looked at the surging waves of souls beside him, and their soul light even overshadowed them. The radiance of divine power gathered around him like stars.
Feeling the persistence of the dead, the figures of countless elves were reflected in the depths of Joshua's eyes. Millions of souls encouraged him to continue moving forward. Feeling this expectation and hope, a wild smile gradually appeared on the corner of the warrior's mouth - Looking up at the sky, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the rock formations and look directly at the evil god's true form. Joshua laughed wantonly: "Now that things have come to this, how can I let you down!"
Anger, hatred, destruction, always, this life is too boring -
The sword is forged from iron, the armor is forged from steel, and the feeling of coldness touching the skin is always uncomfortable. He has been exposed to blood and fire, and now he can't even recognize the scent of flowers.
Therefore, even a man who lives for fighting occasionally wants to change his method or reason to fight!
The ancient dragon-hunting sword and gun shook slightly, and the black beam of light at its core also trembled. The huge meteorite immediately pressed down. The terrifying pressure was accompanied by the strong wind, which scraped away a layer of soil on the surface. Luolan Both Da and Hei turned their heads to resist the strong pressure. Even the crown of Father Nature shook violently, and countless fallen leaves fell from the branches.
It's going to fall!
Just when their hearts felt cold and they felt that everything was irreversible, a faint golden light suddenly appeared in the black light pillar. Different from the black divine light that was full of destructive aura, although this golden light was weak, But it is extremely tough and seems to be able to withstand all hazards.
At the core of the light pillar, Joshua held the spear tightly with both hands, a fusion of a silver sword and a black axe. The gray spear had golden lines flowing on it, and the cyan crown mark on his forehead was completely absorbed into the warrior's face. In the body, it disappears.
Fight—not out of anger, but to bear, not to destroy, but to protect.
Therefore, I am willing to take over the power of God and use the inheritance of sages to fight against chaos and evil gods for the world and all living beings—
At this point, my gun is indestructible and everything is indestructible!
Laughing, the man raised his spear, and a little golden light lit up in the sky, and then it bloomed, as bright as a star.
The world-destroying meteorite that was about to be crushed suddenly stopped its momentum. The originally shaky, black-gold-infused light pillar became extremely solid, and even pushed it upwards back into the sky. Layers of sacred runes emerged around it.
"Crack-"
With a crisp sound, countless cracks began to spread on the surface of the meteorite. Under the impact of the increasingly powerful light beam, the huge rock began to gradually fragment, disintegrating bit by bit, turning into sparks and chaotic black air all over the sky.
"Crack!!!"
There was another crisp sound, and the paladin and the half-dragon raised their heads. They stared at the falling star in shock. The solid rock layer made a series of shattering sounds one after another, and dense cracks penetrated the entire meteorite. At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Under the impact of endless light, and with a loud noise that resounded throughout the world, the world-destroying star hanging over the world of Ilgna exploded.
Countless star fragments fell to the earth in arcs. Accompanied by dense explosions, countless light spots lit up among the mountains. They brought up dust clouds and ignited fires, causing great damage and devastating shock waves. It swept through a small half of the world and destroyed everything along the way, but compared to the entire fall of the Ten Plague Stars, this was already the best result.
At the same time as he smashed the meteorite, Joshua spurted out a mouthful of blood on the spot. The blood shimmering with pale golden brilliance was evaporated by the high-heat divine power in an instant, and an endless spring of soul light flew out from his back and transformed into a body again. A long river of light returned to the canopy of Father Nature, and the warrior fell to the ground like a kite with its string broken, along with the fragments of the meteorite.
In mid-air, the radiance of magic flashed, and the dragon-hunting sword and gun first decomposed into a silver sword and a black axe, and then transformed back into a silver-haired girl and a black-haired boy. The two caught the warrior's body, and then carefully of landing on the earth.
"Master's body?!"
Because she often comes into contact with her, Ying immediately noticed something was wrong. It turned out that Joshua's body was extremely heavy. It was a steel-like body that had gone through countless tempers. Once she had been in contact with him, she would never forget that kind of weight and strength. But now, the warrior's body is so light, as if the firewood has been burned out, leaving only light ashes.
And Rin immediately turned Joshua's body over, and the two of them took a breath at the same time -
What a terrifying sight this was. The warrior's body shone with the blurred light of divine power, while his two arms and half of his chest were completely turned into white bones, without a trace of flesh and blood. Through the white ribs, it could even be seen See the slowly beating heart behind it.
If their hearts were not still beating and they were still alive as contracted gods, no one would think that Joshua was dead.
Loranda and Hei, who were not far away, also rushed over quickly. The paladin opened his eyes wide the moment he saw the warrior's body. He had never seen such horrific injuries, but with this kind of injury It was unheard of for someone to be alive. Regardless of the nervousness and disbelief, he immediately asked Ying and Rin to lay Joshua flat on Hei's back, while he controlled the holy light and prepared to treat Joshua.
However, the holy white healing light flickered, but no reaction was seen on Joshua's wound. A blurry halo isolated the holy light and covered the warrior's wound. The remaining divine power prevented Joshua's blood from flowing out, and his vitality The passage of time temporarily maintained the warrior's almost exhausted life, but it also hindered the treatment of others.
"Damn it, why is it useless?!"
Half-kneeling on Hei's back, Loranda's head was dripping with nervous sweat. His eyes were full of uneasiness and fear. The holy light in the Paladin's hand was changing shape back and forth, runes flashing, and various gods. Magic and Holy Light Secret Techniques were used, but everything went into the mud and into the sea, melting without a trace.
It wasn't until the end that he gritted his teeth and said, "No, there's nothing I can do!"
Ying and Lin, who were originally watching from the sidelines, had long been mentally prepared during the paladin's continuous treatment. When Loranda finished speaking, they immediately turned their heads to look at the giant tree, the father of nature. direction.
"… come over."
After giving out all his divine power, he took back the souls of the elves again. The extremely tired God of the elves was silent for a while, and then slowly communicated with his spirit. His will contained complex emotions: "Get closer, Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to observe it thoroughly.”
Black immediately stepped towards the Father of Nature. Its steps were as fast as possible while being steady. The half-dragon carefully paid attention to the owner on his back, hoping that his actions would not affect his situation.
And just when Black came within a few kilometers of the Father of Nature, it noticed a huge and irresistible force lifting it up. The half-dragon quickly realized that this was the manifestation of the power of the gods, and let the other side go. Give.
And a great will swept across, and the father of nature fell into deep thought.
"...the entanglement of divine power."
After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "The souls of all living beings gathered together before and produced a miracle that even I could not understand. This miracle changed the nature of the divine power and allowed Joshua to crush the meteorite dropped by the evil god. However, Now, these powers are no longer the ones I lent him."
This ancient god carefully narrated his judgment: "The human body cannot bear the divine power, and even the ultimate intention of awakening the power can only endure for a moment longer, so his body was burned, leaving only the toughest bones, but these bones Now it has some divinity due to the entanglement of divine power, so the wounds on it cannot be healed by mortal power."
"Then Your Majesty, Father of Nature—"
Rin couldn't help but raise his head and look at the giant tree. His voice was full of pleading: "Can you cure the master?"
On the side, others also looked up at the giant tree.
And Father Nature's branches swayed slightly, and He said solemnly and firmly: "Yes."
But before everyone could cheer, the giant tree said again: "But not now."
The scene suddenly became quiet. As if aware of the atmosphere, Father Nature immediately explained: "Look around you."
After hearing this, everyone looked around.
The Ten Disaster Stars were shattered by the beam of light and turned into countless fragments falling to the earth. It ignited the forest and brought out horrific wounds on the earth. Smoke and dust full of chaos were also scattered everywhere, killing all the previous luck. Everything that survives.
The space-time rift in the sky has been completely sealed, and the chaotic world filled with twisted darkness seems to have moved away. After the big star fell, the evil god of natural disaster left the world without hesitation, but the trauma it left behind still remains. If not immediately If these smoke and meteorite fragments are purified, the world will still become dead and silent, no longer suitable for living creatures to survive.
Even Ying and Rin couldn't express their opinions on Father Nature's actions.
“The possibilities of human beings really blow my mind.”
Father Nature looked at Joshua's body and said with emotion: "With courage that is not afraid of pain, and unwavering persistence in faith, this human being can be called a great warrior even in the Age of Glory. "
Although the silver-haired girl was still worried about the soldier's injury, she couldn't help but feel proud of her master after hearing the god's unstinting praise. But looking at Joshua's arm that had turned into bones, her eyes were filled with tears. There was still a surge of sadness in my heart.
If praise requires such a price, she would rather not have it, and as weapons, they were unscathed due to the warrior's intentional protection, which made the girl feel particularly ashamed.
It is simply the greatest shame to let the master be hurt on his behalf.
Without making everyone wait any longer, a green light surged from Father Nature's canopy again, and sacred runes appeared, activating the purification network covering the entire world. As the light filled the air, the aura of chaos gradually faded away, and the original atmosphere began to change. The dead world began to come back to life.
The elves hidden in the deepest part of the underground shelter sensed the changes in the outside world. Some brave people moved away the rubble blocking the exit and carefully went out to observe the outside world. They were shocked to see the stone demons turned into breathless stone sculptures one after another. , followed by bursts of cheers.
Although there are only ten remaining elves left, and most of them are in the best-preserved central area of the bay, after all, the seeds of civilization are still there. Thousands of years later, this place may become a prosperous world again.
After completing the purification work, Father Nature turned his attention to the warrior.
The divine power that shattered the Ten Disaster Stars basically came from him. The warriors just converted it into a power more suitable for destruction. Therefore, the Father of Nature is now extremely tired. After barely purifying the chaotic atmosphere of the entire world, it is about to die. Reach your own limit.
But no matter what, the final task must be done well.
Once again, emerald green, full of vitality, divine power emerged around the warrior. This time it was not instilling power, but the healing power of a god.
Accompanied by Loranda's exclamation, Ying and Rin's joyful cheers, and Hei's excited neighing, on Joshua's body, the originally missing flesh and blood was growing bit by bit from the bones that shone with blurry light. Not long after, as if a miracle reappeared, a strong and perfect body appeared in everyone's eyes.
Ignoring the cheers of the people, Father Nature seemed to have exhausted his remaining power. It seemed that because the Azure Orb was completely integrated into the warrior's body, the energy consumed to heal Joshua's body was much greater than he imagined.
The time for His return to sleep is near.
—Maybe it will sleep for dozens or hundreds of years again.
It thought about the elves walking out of the ruins, and its heart was filled with regret.
As a god, I was really derelict in my duty as a god because I couldn't accompany those children out of trouble...
With this thought in mind, he used his last strength and opened a portal in front of everyone.
A faint blue light flashed, and the space-time channel opened its door. Behind it was the familiar scenery of the Great Ajax Mountains.
"I opened a portal according to the coordinates where you came to this world."
The great will has begun to become a little blurred, and the father of nature said in an increasingly weaker voice: "Go over quickly, return to your world, return to your hometown..."
"Hei, hurry up!"
Sensing something was wrong, Loranda knew that this was not the time to be polite. When Joshua was away, he shouldered the responsibility of command. After thanking the Father of Nature, he did not have time to say anything more, so he let Black quickly walked through the time and space channel and returned to the Mycroft continent.
And just after they left the world of Ilgna, the Father of Nature immediately closed the time and space channel. He was silent for a long time, and then let out a sigh of satisfaction or regret.
"My friend, this time, I did not escape..."
After finishing speaking, the emerald green network that originally covered the entire world suddenly lost its light. The infinite blue light spots spread throughout the world with the strong wind, bringing the breath of life. However, the emerald green leaves hanging on the huge tree crown all turned gray and turned into stone pieces. Gray spreads across the branches and main poles of the giant trees, forming large swaths of rock formations.
Not long after, the body of the father of nature turned into a giant rock tree like the original underground, towering above the earth.
The god once again fell into deep sleep.
But as long as the elf is in crisis, he will wake up again no matter what the situation is.
…
[Mythical Event-Ten Plague Stars]
[Year 71 of the Federal Calendar, Year 1315 of the Ancient Calendar, Mount Sigma. Visitors from other worlds came to the world of Ilgona. They helped the elves resist the stone demon army, and gradually discovered the traces of chaos behind them. Finally, at the ruins of the Origin Mountains, with the help of the ancient elven god, the reborn The King of Burning Souls raised his spear high and used the soul light of all living beings as his support to defeat the Chaos invasion that came across the border.]
[Mythical Achievement—Savior of the World]
[—A person who carries the expectations of all living beings and is fearless.]
…
Holding the hands of his parents, an elf child walked out of the passage of the underground shelter in a daze.
The child looked around blankly. The familiar streets disappeared, the houses turned into debris on the ground, and rocks and soil were all he could see.
His hometown was destroyed by stone demons and meteorites and became a ruin. He was still young and could not understand why, but he could feel a hint of uneasiness from his parents' hands that suddenly clenched tightly.
But why
They are still alive - although they do not understand what death is, any elf understands that even if the blades of grass are pulled out, as long as the roots remain, it will not take long for the green to appear on the soil again.
A little blue light floated down from the sky. The young elf couldn't help but take his hand out of his parents' palms and catch the light spot.
Just like the winter will eventually pass, and then comes the hopeful spring.
This is the everlasting light of hope.
