The earth-shattering thunder roar overwhelmed all the sounds in the sky.
From the perspective of an onlooker, it was a hill in the west of Edda Gray Island that suddenly cracked and collapsed, the soil was churning, and a dim black-red light group pressed against the atmosphere and moved upstream toward the sky. It ran through three large groups of mad dragon legions. Wherever it passed, there was a bloody storm, and countless flying dragon corpses fell like raindrops.
It was as if a small earthquake had occurred in the defense line of the western temple. The ground shook. Both the magical puppets and the priests felt a huge force that made them unable to stand still and their bodies shook.
The substantial shock wave visible to the naked eye spread as the light group traveled, and strong winds exceeding level 12 surged in the sky. Many flying dragons were blown off course by the wind and crashed into their own kind. Neither magic nor dragon's breath could hit the light group for a while, and could only let it fly rapidly.
And at this moment.
The extreme red dragon Evian's heart had just raised its alarm. It turned its head and looked in the direction of the commotion, and then felt its eyes darken.
A huge ax that was so dark that it seemed to be able to swallow light had already struck it in the head with a buzzing sound of high-frequency vibration!
If you don't get out of the way, you'll die!
The death warning flashed before his eyes, but Evian was, after all, an Ultimate-level dragon. Its reaction speed had already been enhanced through magic, surpassing that of ordinary computers and reaching the level of microseconds. The red dragon was about to chop down the giant axe. At the moment above his head, he vibrated his wings and retreated quickly towards the rear. Spells such as incorporealization, position shifting, and flame armor were all ready.
At the same time, countless stars, light red light spots like fireflies overflowed from its wings, forming a large red mist in front of it - the next moment, these seemingly magnificent red mist suddenly exploded. It exploded, forming a dazzling flash in the sky like a supernova explosion.
Evian continued to accelerate backward using the air waves caused by the explosion. Facing Joshua, the Ultimate Dragons have already summed up a set of fighting methods. The most important thing is not to engage in close combat with this monster. As long as you keep keeping distance and use spells to attack, you can ensure safety. Otherwise, , may be cut into several pieces at any time.
Everything happened within a third of a second. At this time, the red dragon's figure was rapidly fading. The incorporeal magic blessed by it allowed Evian to temporarily acquire a ghost-like body, and in front of it , fifty-seven different elemental spells were aimed at the center of the previous explosion, rapidly plundering free energy in the atmosphere, ready to go.
But in the explosion dust mist like a cosmic nebula, a black light suddenly flashed, and a stream of light was seen passing by. A huge giant ax more than two meters long quickly rotated through the smoke and dust atmosphere, and rushed towards the red dragon at several times the speed of sound. Flying away, the divine machine easily broke through the various magic shields on Evian's body and inserted it directly into its semi-materialized heart.
"Roar!!!!!"
The severe pain from his heart instantly interrupted Evian's incorporeal transformation. The wings that were originally flowing like lava light dimmed in an instant, but the black giant ax did not completely break through too many shields. Opening the flesh and blood of the red dragon, it was not actually fatally injured.
But the fear of dying was real. Being completely angered, Evian was furiously preparing to fight back, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in his heart - the black giant ax seemed to be pulled by someone, pulled out of its flesh, and then Towards the center of the explosion smoke, a man who had just revealed his figure flew towards the hand.
Joshua glanced at the red dragon coldly. Cruel killing intent and cold evil aura gathered around him, as if he was peeking into the opponent's energy direction and shield flaws. In the next moment, he transformed into a stream of light again. Rushing towards Evian quickly.
The warrior's fighting spirit is as pure as he himself. Apart from the ability of the Power of Glory to plunder the souls of the defeated, it only has pure high temperature and impact. But simplicity does not mean weak. In Joshua's hands, he His fighting spirit is powerful precisely because he is pure.
The terrifying impact exploded behind the warrior, giving it incredible speed like a rocket accelerating. In just a flash of thought, he had already hit the chest of the red dragon who was lost in pain.
Evian felt as if he had caught a meteorite head-on, a rocket that was advancing at full speed. The entire dragon body was knocked out of balance in an instant and fell uncontrollably toward the ground. Before it could react, it had already broken through the atmosphere, smashing into many flying dragons as it was under the clouds at a thousand-meter altitude, and then landed hard on the ground.
As if the earth's crust was cracking, and accompanied by an earthquake-like shock wave, the hard stone floor suddenly arched out a rock crater dozens of meters high. The expanding air flow swept up the sand and dust, shooting out in all directions like bullets. Countless brilliant, water-like ripples appeared on the surrounding temple defense barriers, and the flying dragon's rough-skinned and fleshy body also erupted with blood flowers, wailing endlessly.
All this happened in just a few seconds. Other Jiyi-level dragons were coming here, and the cover provided by the priests had just been sent out.
"Evian is under attack!"
"Go and help it!"
After seeing the shock wave and smoke, now that the direction has been determined, there is no need for the Jiyi-level dragons to fly over stupidly. A series of time and space fluctuations came, and at least five Jiyi-level dragons were about to teleport to the vicinity of the crater and completely attack them. Killing Joshua, a serious thorn in his side.
"Your enemy is me!"
"Kodasent, our last battle is not over yet!"
"Stay here!"
But the Jiyi-level powerhouses on the Holy Mountain would not sit idly by and just listen to a passionate or heroic declaration. The endless holy light spread, and several priests who were transmitting strong energy fluctuations all over their bodies also rushed out. The defense line was facing the surrounding Jiyi dragon.
The leader was none other than the silver-haired paladin Robzek. As the leader of the Knights of the Hammer of Freedom, he was ordered to guard the defense line of the northwest side of the temple. When he saw the movement in the sky, he knew that Joshua must be fighting. , so he made preparations early.
The target of the Paladin was a strange black dragon with three eyes not far away. Seven hundred and twenty waves of holy light were seen lighting up from the energy nodes around him. Life energy like a volcanic eruption was mixed with divine power. Behind Robzek, a stand-in knight dozens of meters tall was transformed. This knight held a holy light hammer, wore silver armor, and had burning platinum energy in his eyes.
The huge Holy Light Knight was flashing with countless halo fluctuations, covering all the clergymen in the northwest temple area with a layer of silver-white brilliance, and their strength and resilience were greatly improved. Although the knight looked huge, he was extremely fast. He swung his hammer out of the air, and a mountain-like shock wave of holy light hit the three-eyed black dragon. A violent storm rose and a tornado roared.
Robzek was unconscious for most of the time when he was dealing with Mandalgar last time. He had been holding a breath in his heart. When he let it out now, it was truly earth-shattering.
More than ten extremely powerful people fought at the northwest defense line. The aftermath swept away all surrounding obstacles in an instant. The energy fluctuations were so chaotic that even the legendary powerful people could not detect them for a while.
In the crater, Evian is facing a life and death crisis.
Facing the huge sword attack that was about to disembowel itself, the dragon released a ring of blazing fire around its body, quickly pushing the ferocious figure away and hitting the surrounding rock walls, giving it a chance to breathe.
How could the red dragon imagine that he, who was hiding in the deepest part of the dragon group and barely emitting any aura, would be approached so directly by that crazy dragon slayer? You know, compared to its arrogant peers, Evian doesn't even exude hostility. It's just wandering around, choosing where it's more suitable to complete its 'mission'!
But it was no longer time to think so much. He was knocked into the ground by the warriors and lost the maneuverability advantage in the air. The red dragon could only be forced to fight hand-to-hand with Joshua. The huge size was now a burden. Only a few In the blink of an eye, it was like Surarno, with huge mouths being opened between the chest and abdomen, blood spurting out like a fountain, and the internal organs were almost exposed.
Evian knew that his dragon body had been severely injured. The impact of being hit on the ground had damaged his spine and reduced his reflexes. The wounds between his chest, abdomen and heart were always pulling on his nerves. Although with his You can still fight with your will and ensure that your combat effectiveness is not lost too much, but facing such a powerful enemy in front of you, a slight weakness will quickly expand and turn into an overwhelming disadvantage!
At this time, in the crater, Joshua, who was knocked into the rock wall, launched another attack.
boom! !
He quickly ran out of the hole he made, stepping on the ground like thunder step by step. The air flow around him tore through the vacuum and emitted violent explosions. The deafening sound waves even shook the rock walls inside the crater, causing it to collapse. .
The entire ground sank due to the warrior's steps, but he suddenly stopped because his huge target disappeared in an instant. Joshua calmly sensed the fluctuations in time and space around him, but found that the opponent did not teleport away.
"Human transformation!"
In just a fraction of a second, the warrior thought of this. When Hei and Fina were able to avoid the erosion of the brain-eating insects through transformation and temporarily gain complete mobility, then the red dragon must also be able to think of the same thing and transform into a human form. After that, the dragon's spellcasting ability will not be weakened, but the huge target-like body will completely disappear. It is indeed a good move.
At this time, Evian may have cast the invisibility spell or become incorporeal - casting this spell in the human form is basically instantaneous, so he cannot detect the opponent's aura. If he needs to concentrate to distinguish, it will take about a few seconds. During the battle, There was no such margin at all, so Joshua made an immediate decision. He took a deep breath, and then roared.
The violent sound waves containing fighting spirit swept away the smoke and dust generated by the battle between the two. The rolling air waves shattered the solid rock and swept away the soil. By judging the surge of air flow and the reaction of the fighting spirit, Joshua found it within a second. There was an opaque human figure not far away, and then he decisively gathered strength under his feet, carrying the roaring wind, and rushed in front of the opponent!
The body of a Jiyi-level warrior has been almost assimilated with life energy. The powerful fighting spirit is strengthening and transforming the body all the time. As long as the user is willing, they can explode the life energy in the body at any time, making the body possess far beyond ordinary times. of power, explosiveness, speed and physical strength.
If it was an ordinary Ultimate Intention, perhaps he would use this burst sparingly because he was concerned about his own lack of life energy, and use it as a means to suppress the bottom box. But Joshua is different. He holds the Azure Orb, and possesses With his extreme strength and nearly perpetual motion physical strength, he is in this state anytime and anywhere!
The flashing crimson blood in his pupils formed a red line. Joshua charged all the way, and the ground was plowed into a deep depression like a stream of water. He swung the giant sword in his hand and slashed at the invisible humanoid red dragon. The airflow was cut and a shrill, shrill scream was emitted.
He silently used all his strength. Under the pressure of the warrior's fighting spirit like a sea tide, the surrounding time and space were blocked, and all teleportation spells were prohibited. If the output of other spells did not exceed his fighting spirit, their power would be greatly reduced.
But Evian, who finally took a breath from the warrior's surprise attack, took out a red spar from somewhere. A steady stream of positive energy flowed in this spar, as if it were a fragment of the sun.
A small piece of Molten Star!
The humanoid red dragon is a white-haired old man who looks old. He stares at the warrior in front of him with cold eyes, and there is deep physical pain at the bottom of his eyes. At this time, all the hatred is gathered into one word:
"die!"
The blazing fire exploded instantly, and the ring-shaped stone mountain dozens of meters high instantly looked like a real volcano, spewing out terrifying fire. The entire mountain completely collapsed with rapidly spreading golden-red cracks, and a diameter several dozen appeared on the ground. A hundred meters semicircular fire element energy shield, all the flying dragons in the shield were instantly reduced to ashes, with no bones left!
Boom! ! ! !
The earth shook! !
The rapid smoky wind instantly made the cold western part of Edda Gray Island become as hot as summer. The high temperature exceeding thousands of degrees gradually decreased layer by layer. Across a distance of several thousand meters, it was still over 60 degrees when we arrived at the temple defense area. .
"what happened?!"
"The power of this blow is equivalent to that of a Jiyi-level demon using the Burning Body Explosion!"
"Evian blew up his energy core and died with that monster?!"
The Jiyi-level dragons were filled with surprise and uncertainty, and the clergymen on the Holy Mountain side could not help but feel a sinking feeling.
Joshua's performance in the recent period has made these people understand that those unknown rumors about the earl are all false. Although the other party does look a bit scary, there is no doubt that he is a true upholding person. He is a strong man who follows the way of order, and will almost certainly be promoted to a legend. If a soldier dies here, not to mention that the empire cannot explain it, it will also be a loss for mankind all over the world!
However, Robzek quickly noticed that the violent explosion fluctuations were exactly the same as when Joshua used the Melt Core Star to destroy the transmission channels of the Demonic Blood Dragons in the Blood Moon Abyss. For a moment, he thought it was Joshua who picked it up. He came back with a small piece of the Molten Star fragment and used it at this time, but the Paladin immediately realized that this was completely unnecessary!
With the weapons and strength of a warrior, there is no need to use this kind of fighting method that is almost fatal when facing a giant dragon. He can win as long as he fights steadily, at least to ensure that he is not damaged. On the contrary, the red dragon, originally He likes to collect all kinds of treasures related to fire. It is not strange for a Ultimate Level red dragon to collect a small piece of the core star!
He wanted to go near the crater to see what was going on, but the three-eyed black dragon fighting the Paladin had no intention of letting him go. As beams of negative energy light fell down, Robzek had to turn his head and continue fighting. The other party fights.
And above the crater that had turned into a large lava pit, the whole body was almost burned to coke. The humanoid red dragon was panting rapidly. Evian's left arm had been completely severed, and his shoulder was empty and bleeding. gushing out, he was staring at the large golden lava beneath him with fearful and hateful eyes.
By detonating the small piece of the core star that he finally found and collected for nearly two hundred years, Evian successfully broke through the warrior's fighting spirit blockade, and then he used a left arm lurking with binding magic to kill the warrior. He froze in place, and then left the center of the explosion through the teleportation he had prepared. But even so, with the red dragon's high fire resistance, Evian also suffered severe burns.
Even so, his heart was full of joy - even he had turned into such a miserable state. The terrifying warrior must have died there, right
But bubbles appeared in the lava.
The crimson fighting spirit slowly rose, breaking through the boiling lava.
The warrior, whose whole body had turned into charcoal, still held the weapon in his hand tightly. He came to the surface with a fighting spirit mask that also released infinite high temperature all over his body.
shock, and high temperature.
Such a simple ability can always allow warriors to survive.
At this time, the entire front of Joshua's body was roasted into char by thousands of degrees of heat, just like the red dragon at this time. He couldn't even feel the pain from this kind of injury, because the nerves in his entire body were almost completely burned out. After it was cooked, the warrior himself relied on his fighting spirit to control his body so as not to fall on the magma.
Evian's decisive self-destruction attack indeed succeeded in assassinating Joshua. If he were an ordinary person, his body would definitely have been wiped out long ago. Even if Robzek was in the same situation, he would definitely die.
But the soldier's throat, which had been burnt to coke, made a sound that sounded like a sneer.
"Really decisive."
At first it was just a hoarse, unintelligible whine, but then it gradually returned to the soldier's original cold tone: "I must admit that you are a strong one."
The heart was shining with the warm cyan light of the azure orb, and the faint light of runes was also flowing on the warrior's divine bones.
Along with the rapid metabolism, new flesh, skin, and hair grew rapidly. In just a few breaths, a lot of the char on the warrior's surface had already fallen off, revealing the new skin on the back.
It wasn't that Joshua couldn't dodge Evian's attack, he just suddenly had a premonition and wanted to fully withstand the power of the Melt Star's self-destruction.
Considering that his own defense and regeneration capabilities were enough to withstand the opponent's attack head-on, the warrior stopped where he was with inhuman determination, and personally used his hand to explode the melting star.
This feeling is indeed completely different from controlling the explosion by himself. In the severe pain and high temperature, Joshua, who perfectly withstood the impact of all positive energy, did understand something.
"It turns out that this is how energy works, and then it explodes."
The warrior whispered to himself, and a trace of fire appeared on his chest. The crimson fighting spirit gathered and simulated, forming a 'little sun' the size of a basketball. Joshua had a hint of inspiration in his heart. This time After returning from the battle, he might be able to completely replicate the attack like the 'Flash of the Sun' before.
At the same time, he also confirmed one thing. The core star was not the trump card used by the opponent in the previous life to destroy the entire temple defense area. This power was far from enough, at least it had to be as powerful as the one he used originally.
At this time, in mid-air, the seriously injured red dragon stared at the human standing on the lava with his mouth open.
-what is that? !
—Withstand the self-destruction of the Molten Star head-on? !
-This creature... no, monster, is it really human? !
Indescribable fear arose in his heart. As a red dragon, Evian felt the long-lost cold hitting his spine and heart. He watched Joshua's body reborn, and harmony condensed on his chest. The nuclear star exploded with the same terrifying fireball.
He made countless calculations, but failed to achieve anything. Inexplicable emotions strangled the red dragon's throat, making him unable to say a word. The extremely turbulent emotions could no longer tell whether they were fear or hatred, jealousy or shock. It was just He stared at this scene blankly, and then he had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
—You can only use that thing.
It comes from the mysterious organization that cooperates with the five-color dragon clan. It was handed over to it by the Elders Council and the three major clan leaders. It is a powerful item that can only be used by the red dragon's bloodline connected to the endless sea of fire elements. As long as he holds it on weekdays, A terrifying object that would frighten Evian.
- Although according to the original goal, this is to find an opportunity to penetrate a passage to the Holy Mountain and determine the victory, but there is no doubt that if you can't kill the warrior in front of you now, then there will be no future.
At the same time, the nerves in his whole body were remodeled, and Joshua, who looked like a newborn, suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
In mid-air, the humanoid red dragon took out a strange long sword from its subspace storage area.
This long sword has a simple and solemn style, as if it were a ceremonial sword in a temple. Its blade is completely black, but the blade slightly emits a deep fire like the center of the earth's core. Strange lines extend along the spine of the sword. , forming magnificent and breathtaking runes.
As long as you see this rune, a series of meanings such as 'earth', 'lava', 'creation', etc. will appear in your mind, as if it is the incarnation of the center of the earth, the core of Mother Earth.
According to legend, the primordial fire burned the void, and the ashes condensed into steel, and then all things were born. The earth was the rust of steel, and the deep underground was the residual warmth of the primordial fire.
In the first fire, the world was created, steel molded all things, and on the ashes of the earth, all living beings multiplied.
[Fire of Creation·Ember Earth Sword]
Although it is only an imitation of a real artifact, this ash-earth sword still has infinite power.
The long black sword floated and rotated in front of the severely injured red dragon, like a crack leading to the depths of the earth. Under Evian's full force, the lines on its sword spine began to release streams of energy light like the sun's corona. flow.
A moment later, the tip of the sword was pointed at Joshua's location.
will die.
For the first time, I truly felt that I was going to die.
This was the only thought in the warrior's mind when he saw the familiar artifact long sword.
