Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 402: The very center of the battlefield

Views:

Sularno knew the human warrior in front of him.

The lord of Moldavia, the strongest warrior in the North, the dragon slayer, the enemy of monsters, the youngest ultimate in Mycroft Continent—Joshua Van Radcliffe, this man's reputation has already spread throughout the siege The Mad Dragon Legion of the Holy Mountain, and even the entire five-color dragon clan. His name is feared, even feared, by most dragons.

According to unspecified statistics during this period, more than thirty dragons have died at his hands, including two extreme black dragons. It is true that among all the dragon slayers over the millennia, there have been more dragon slayers than him, but warriors definitely killed the most dragons in a short period of time.

Among those who encountered Joshua and were lucky enough to escape with their lives, this warrior's coercion was even greater than that of the dragon. Even the Great Demon was far inferior. His skills were extraordinary and his strength was enough to fight with The dragon is capable of hand-to-hand combat, has a tough body and extremely strong recovery ability, and its resistance to magic is unbelievable. It is almost a fighting machine with no weaknesses, an incarnation of killing in human form.

Originally Surarno was a little bit suspicious that those giant dragons had too little experience and were frightened and exaggerated the opponent's strength. However, after being found by the opponent inexplicably and starting a fight, the blue dragon truly understood that those lucky young dragons were indeed No exaggeration.

They even said a little less - that is, this human's weapon is really ridiculously powerful. No matter what spells or shields it is, it can be destroyed in one blow, which is simply unreasonable.

Perhaps it was because there was no need to use the two magic weapons that were obviously sacred objects to deal with ordinary dragons. All in all, Surarno suffered a big loss in this regard. It was caught off guard and it could only hold on for a few minutes before being completely bombarded. It descended from the sky and hit the ground. This was because the other party was obviously merciful and did not behead and disembowel it.

All the surrounding flying dragons were frightened and fled away. Faced with Joshua's questions and the giant ax that could cut off its neck at any time, the blue dragon naturally knew everything and said everything - Sularno had long felt that this The war is simply inexplicable. The dragon clan's status on the mainland is already high enough. When faced with a giant dragon, most human lords will choose to please rather than attack. There is no need to cause any dragon disaster at all. It had long wanted to find an opportunity to escape from the battlefield and continue its journey. As for now, it was just a change from escape to surrender, which was not unacceptable compared to death.

Coincidentally, Joshua also knew the blue dragon in front of him.

[Windrider Sularno], the only one who escaped from the battlefield of the Holy Mountain in the dragon disaster in his previous life, and lived until the abyss invaded in the year 855 of Starfall - of course, because of the intensifying demonic tide, this one The dragon had already advanced to legend in the early 850s. At that time, it would also issue tasks for players to collect various air elemental hearts and misty wind energy cores to help it advance. The reward was an extremely rare high-level air talisman. , there is a chance to get the legendary holy object [Immortal Dusk Pendant].

Although this blue dragon has the name of Sura the Runaway among the dragon clan, in fact it just doesn't want to engage in a meaningless battle. When facing the devil, Sula Nuo also played a role. See For this reason, as long as he could answer his question quickly, Joshua did not intend to kill it now. After all, it could be considered an acquaintance and he had used the other party's talisman before.

And Sularno is worthy of being a giant dragon that can survive twenty-two years later. When faced with a life threat, it answered questions quickly, spoke clearly, and spoke a smooth elvish common language, except for the previous foreshadowing. Nonsense aside, it only took Blue Dragon three minutes to clearly tell the approximate location and appearance capabilities of most of the Ultimate Level dragons.

And Joshua wrote down all the information one by one. He frowned and pondered for a while, and then asked: "Isn't there a red dragon?"

The warrior's tone was very direct: "My target is a Jiyi-level red dragon, but none of the giant dragons you just mentioned are red dragons. I suspect you are hiding something."

The giant ax went deeper and blood flowed out faster.

Hearing Joshua's words and feeling the cold ax blade penetrating into his flesh, Suralno's neck twitched slightly, as if he was swallowing saliva. He immediately replied in a calm voice: "No, absolutely not - it's just That red dragon..."

At this point, it seemed a little hesitant, but it said it quickly: "I don't know its specific location. I only know that it should be hidden among the dragons on the northwest side. It rarely shows up. Among all the Jiyi dragons, it is the only one that appears. It’s the only thing that’s so mysterious.”

Surarno was very curious about how Joshua knew about the existence of this red dragon. You know, even as a giant dragon, he almost forgot about the mysterious Red Dragon of Ultimate Intent. Where did the other human being come from? Got this secret? Is there a traitor within the Dragon Clan

Of course it’s past life memories.

Joshua nodded and took back the giant ax in his hand. He seemed quite satisfied with the answer. Then, the soldier reminded him calmly: "If you want to survive, stop the bleeding as soon as possible."

He ignored the dragon beside him and looked up at the northwest sky.

As someone who has experienced all this, Joshua naturally knows most of the arrangements of the Five-Colored Dragon Clan in this war. He has long selected some of the important matters and discussed them with Pope Eagle, and moved the focus of defense to This matter in the northeast was the work of the soldiers, and a lot of unnecessary losses were avoided.

And he also remembers certain things that are particularly worth watching out for.

For example, about the mysterious red dragon.

In the previous life, the mad dragons besieged the Holy Mountain. Just like now, the infinite flying dragons started a fierce tug-of-war with the priests relying on the temple's defense line. This battle lasted for a week until the Pope and the three legendary dragons went to the void. There was only a moment of respite before the duel.

At that time, the loss of the Holy Mountain was not serious, because there were a large number of magical puppets as cannon fodder. Most of the priests were just tired, but did not lose their combat effectiveness. The number of deaths was still acceptable. When they got better, they could again There were continuous fierce battles, but at that time, the mad dragons had already suffered more than 40,000 casualties. If they had not been turned mad and lost their minds, most of the flying dragons would probably have fled in panic.

But in the short period of more than an hour when the two sides were fighting for breath, a very willing red dragon took advantage of the moment when the Holy Mountain side relaxed its vigilance. It used unknown magic props to take off its own power, and the magic props At the cost of being turned into ashes, one blow destroyed two-thirds of the temples to the north of the central temple area, killed thousands of priests, and completely tore a big hole in the entire Holy Mountain defense line.

The war broke out again. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking the holy mountain, which is the center of all magical formations, the northern part of the central temple area became a real meat grinder. The lost thickness of the defense line could only be filled with human lives. Under the crazy dragon Under the impact, countless priests resolutely threw their lives into this flesh and blood mill. In just one day, thousands of priests died and countless puppets were scrapped.

A mother loses her son, a wife loses her husband, and a daughter loses her father. In the same way, the reverse is also true. War is such a cruel thing. Humanity is not an island. The death of every priest represents the pain and sorrow of a group of people behind it. The rural church will lose its healer, and the orphans will also lose its dean. Although there will be people behind the Church of the Seven Gods It's a messy thing, but it's generally worthy of the name of kindness and justice. If possible, Joshua doesn't want to see this scene.

So he had to take the lead in killing the red dragon before it took action. This was the job and responsibility of the warrior.

Joshua stared at the northwest sky.

—It will be easier once you have determined the specific direction. He thought so.

Then, Joshua took a deep breath.

The air containing the smell of blood was taken into the warrior's lungs, and endless information was analyzed by him.

The smell of flying dragon blood, the lubricating oil of magical puppets, the scorch and acid mist of burning steel, and the dust of dragon disease.

Temperature, air humidity, wind direction, and the smell of sea water.

The incense of the temple, the fragrance of vegetation, the smell of negative energy that lingers on the black dragon, the breath of the white dragon with a hint of abyssal power - and the unique smell of burnt sulfur from the red dragon!

Distinguishing the breath of the red dragon from thousands or even tens of thousands of different smells in the air, Joshua's eyes lit up when he was sure that the opponent was indeed there. He immediately turned his head slightly, his pupils narrowed, and began to actually confirm the enemy's location.

In the eyes of the Jiyi-level warrior, the trajectory of all energy began to appear. Because of the flying dragon's previous breath, the fire element and the earth element boiled and swept across the surface of the holy mountain. The powerful vitality of the mad dragon was like a ball of fire in mid-air. Shuttle, but just as the smells are different, the trajectories and characteristics of the energy are also different. In a blink of an eye, Joshua discovered many gold-level dragons and ultimate dragons hidden among the dragons. Their positions were similar to Sura's. What Ernuo said is exactly the same. Even if there is a slight difference, it is within the error range.

The warrior's brain processed various information rapidly like a supercomputer, then summarized the information and locked the target in one place. It was an extremely hidden location behind the three-wave dragon group and thousands of flying dragons.

But no matter how secretive it is, it has no meaning.

The warriors have discovered it.

So, the hunt begins.

Bang!

A red flash of light lit up under his feet, and the soil exploded. With the help of fighting spirit, Joshua's speed instantly surpassed the speed of sound and rose into the sky. His whole body was like a sharp arrow, rushing towards the target direction.

In just a blink of an eye, he had already rushed into the first wave of dragons.

The other gold and ultimate level dragons have just shifted their sights in this direction.

The battle between Joshua and Suralno only lasted a few minutes, and the movement was not very big. Compared with the countless flying dragons attacking the temple, spitting out liquid fire and acid mist, the blue dragon was defeated too quickly and simply. As for the near silence. I didn't notice it before because there were not many Ultimate-level giant dragons, and they had to always pay attention to the area they were responsible for to ensure suppression. It wasn't until Joshua rose into the sky against the dragon tide that there were other Ultimate-level giants. Long was surprised to find that Sularno, who was in charge of that area, had disappeared.

"The dragon slayer is here!"

"Sure enough, he couldn't help but strike first!"

Waves of exclamations and warnings echoed in the sky. Due to the pressure of the warriors, countless flying dragons with remaining instincts forgot their master's orders and fled in panic. However, with the current density above Gray Island, these flying dragons were Where can I run? All kinds of wild dragons of different types flew together and made deafening screams, making the airspace suddenly chaotic.

Because of fear, many flying dragons began to spit liquid fire and acid mist towards the red vindictive ball where the warrior was, and the dragons with the ability to cast spells did not hesitate to use various spells to block Joshua's advance. To drag it until other Ultimate-level dragons arrived, the light of magic penetrated the entire battlefield, countless elemental mist and acid mist floated in mid-air, and each flying dragon fell from the sky wailing like a strange heavy rain. , most of the flying dragons died in the hands of their own people, not by the warriors' swords and axes.

"Quick, stop him!"

A gold-level white dragon in charge of this area used dragon language and spiritual network to loudly warn all the surrounding dragons. It shouted at the top of its lungs: "This monster must not be allowed to disrupt the formation!"

But the sounds of other giant dragons also came out at the same time, mixed together, and the sky instantly became noisy.

"A high-intensity energy-gathering reaction occurs ahead!"

"Detarna, hurry up and evade, the dragon slayer is right in front of you!"

"Detachment No. 4 changes formation and descends rapidly to avoid danger!"

"Pay attention to the impact, he is already here!"

Joshua was surrounded by a high concentration of black and red fighting spirit, and the pure life energy turned into a semi-physical shield that could offset all spells. He silently flew at supersonic speed, passing by groups of flying dragons, and the warriors passed by. At that point, all the mad dragons within ten meters were cut into two pieces. The giant dragons and flying dragons were in a panic, and their attacks and obstructions could not cause any meaningful harm to him.

Seeing that Joshua was about to break through the two groups of dragons with one person, and when he was approaching his target, a high-pitched roar came from high in the sky, the clouds were torn apart, and a huge white dragon rode the freezing cold air from It rushed toward the warrior from above. Its size was far larger than that of an ordinary white dragon, nearly sixty meters long. It flapped its wings, and its flying momentum covered the sky, like a meteorite peak falling from the sky. Everything was crushed to pieces.

The extremely cold breath of more than 150 degrees below zero was spurted out by the white dragon, and under its spiritual command, countless flying dragons that were originally frightened turned around and rushed toward the red light group with a roar.

"Kill him!"

All the dragons wanted to kill this human warrior who showed great strength and potential. The reputation of Dragon Slayer Joshua was so frightening to the dragons that even some adult dragons even talked about him. Change, in order to kill him, the dragon even sent a special sneak attack team, but unfortunately the success fell short, but now this crazy guy actually rushed into the group of dragons alone. It can be said that he is seeking death.

On the ground, the priests who were originally stuck in the temple suddenly found that the pressure was relieved, and the continuous black dragon impact disappeared instantly. A certain priest who knew Joshua looked at the conspicuous black-red light group in the sky, Reacted immediately.

"The Earl has taken action! Fight for him a chance!" Although he didn't know Joshua's purpose, he thought it was just to be the first to behead a certain Ultimate Dragon to reduce the gap in combat power between the two sides. Under this order, the entire The priests in the northwest all changed their offensive and defensive postures, began to reverse the barrier energy, and actively attacked the dragons in the sky.

"For the Seven Gods!"

"For humanity!"

Roars sounded one after another, and countless dense patterns of sacred light appeared in the sky above the temple. The power of the holy light gathered, and the filling of the spell was completed in a few seconds. After a certain commander gave an order, the sky was filled with light golden clusters of light. The bullet shot up into the sky from bottom to top, and its density was so high that it was like a golden cloud rising straight up.

Wherever the golden cloud passed, countless flying dragons seemed to have hit a wall of magma. Their bodies were burned in an instant, and no residue was left. Only a little bit of debris fell from the gaps of the light bomb, forming large areas of smelly blood. rain.

In the huge pit where Sularno was originally, an extremely weak blue-haired elf with pointed ears crawled out of the pit. This elf who looked like a bard looked at Qiao in shock. The sight of Xiuya speeding past shocked me beyond measure.

The huge wounds on the body of the blue dragon could not be healed. It must be the special ability of the weapons in the hands of the warriors. Suralno tried all methods, but in the end he almost lost blood and fell into coma but could not recover. In desperation, he could only choose to turn into a human form. , relying on the human body to survive for a while.

And just when the blue dragon climbed out of the pit, he happened to see the warriors rushing into the group of dragons, pretending to be in a deserted land - thousands of flying dragons and dozens of giant dragons screamed and screamed because of the impact of a human. Wailing, corpses and entrails rained down.

Surarno put the palm of his right hand on his heart and swallowed.

It seemed that... he really held back when he attacked him.

Because of Joshua's actions, the entire defense line in the northwest of Edda Gray Island changed greatly. Countless people, dragons and even some secret bystanders focused their attention on him. In the blink of an eye, everything here changed. It became the center of the battlefield.

But the warrior didn't care at all.

The giant sword was swung with all its strength and struck horizontally on the white dragon that was trying to push him down. From the corner of his eye, the warrior saw that the opponent was like a bowling ball being thrown hard, moving towards the side at the same speed as it was diving. The dense group of dragons collided and flew away. In an instant, countless flying dragons and the white dragon fell from the sky and fell towards the earth.

Ignoring whether the opponent turned into meat paste or minced meat, Joshua accelerated again and moved forward with all his strength. All the scenery around him turned into blurred lines. No attacks or spells could catch up with his speed. The warrior even felt that he had crashed through many flying dragons and even giant dragons that could not escape. The blood mist swelled and the hard dragon scales and keel bones were not much harder than biscuits under the impact of the strong fighting spirit.

But he didn't care at all.

The red pupils could only see one target.

In the mid-air ahead, there was a red dragon with a shocked and panic expression on its face.
