There was no time to think about other things. When Joshua saw the artifact long sword that had appeared on the abyss battlefield and wiped out an entire Legion of Burning Blade Demons with one blow, the attack was unavoidable.
The reason for not being able to dodge is neither karmic fate nor qi lock. The attack range of the Ember Earth Sword is too wide. Before the opponent's corona-like energy flow is gathered, the warrior cannot leave the opponent's target range at all.
After all, this is the 'Earth Divine Sword' that claims to be able to reshape the earth's surface and return the mountains to the plains of ashes!
When the tip of its sword was pointed at Joshua, the energy condensed and the space vibrated. An inexplicable illusion appeared over the entire western part of the Holy Mountain—the burning earth, the erupting volcano, the lava-covered wilderness, all kinds of things that were full of wildness at the beginning of the world. The illusion of breath flashed past, making the air hot, and countless sparks turned into rain and rained down.
The terrifying coercion spread in all directions, and countless flying dragons fell from the sky wailing. Even the other giant dragons fighting with the Jiyi-level priests couldn't help but shudder, and the paladins and priests also shuddered. Likewise, they stopped attacking in unison and turned to look at the simple long sword in mid-air.
Evian's face was pale. He could feel that his magic, his life, his blood and soul were endlessly absorbed by this terrifying long sword. If it was the heyday of his dragon form, it might just be a serious illness. , now, the red dragon smells the approaching death.
But so what—
The ferocity lurking deep in the bloodline was aroused, and Evian's eyes burned with golden-red fire. The red dragon did not hesitate to tear up the soul and magic power, stir it into pieces and put it into the long sword in his hand, no longer caring about his own life.
Death is never scary, but the scary thing is that life is worthless. The life of a red dragon should be like fire, like a volcano, and it will be the final glory when it erupts.
He wants that human to die before he does!
"Joshua, come into nothingness with me—"
The last roar of the red dragon came to an abrupt end. His human body turned into nothingness with a burst of magic light, and returned to the scarred dragon body. The red dragon body also quickly turned gray, and then turned into Dust filled the sky, burning everything away, and Evian completely disappeared from this world.
The Ash Earth sword was suspended in mid-air, its tip shining brightly.
In a life-and-death crisis, Joshua didn't talk nonsense. All his fighting spirit gathered in his heart. He knew that it was a matter of life and death. If he couldn't block this blow, he would end up with both body and soul like the red dragon.
Boom!
The heart beats, the thunder roars, and all the latent power in the body explodes in an instant. The warrior's chest bulges rapidly. He raises his arms and crosses them above his head. The surging life energy is compressed and transported to the whole body with the heart as the core, and finally converges On the arms that had turned into gold and iron armor, only the green veins were tightened and the muscles were tangled, allowing the stance shield condensed with heavy fighting energy to become substantial, and the cyan light of order was transformed by the operation of the Azure Orb. As a film of light, the flickering runes mixed with divine bones enveloped the warrior's body and the weapons in his hands.
At the same time, the little inspiration he had just realized from the self-destruction of the Molten Star was quickly activated - in front of the warrior's crossed arms, a golden-red blazing fireball was rapidly condensing, and the life energy that changed reality was simulated by high-temperature impact The sun-like power and fighting spirit poured into it like a torrent.
The next moment, high in the sky, the scorching heat in the center of the earth spread.
Including the red dragon's ashes, the dust in the air was ignited, and the flames filled the sky like stars, and then turned into a mighty whirlpool, all of which returned to one place and condensed into a ray of light.
At this moment, the entire Holy Mountain battlefield seemed to be at a standstill, and every being with life and soul felt a throbbing in their heart. It was the shock of witnessing the incredible power. They raised their heads and looked at the sky, powerful The energy even changed the sky. The clouds turned into rain, the sunlight suddenly dimmed, the day turned into the night sky, and the sky was filled with stars.
I saw a red star shining among the starlight in the sky. It quickly fell down and magnified, turning into a beam of light that penetrated the sky and the earth, falling on the lava earth.
Countless fighting spirit shields and positions built by the warriors were shattered in front of this pure red light beam. Rather, it is remarkable that the defense constructed by one person can actually resist such a powerful force. But it's all ultimately useless. The red light fell, and the black figure seemed to be roaring. He waved the giant sword in his hand, as if he wanted to split something, but was immediately engulfed by the light.
it's over.
This is the thought of everyone and the dragon. Under such a blow, no one under the legend can survive. This is a blow that can move mountains. It is enough to cut a majestic peak in half and cut a high mountain into two pieces. Crushed to the ground, no matter how strong Joshua is, he will inevitably be taken to eternal sleep by the red dragon's life-burning blow.
Rumble, rumble, rumble! ! ! ! !
Endless shock waves spread, and the entire crater lava area suddenly swelled under the impact, as if it had risen several times in an instant, but in an instant it turned into burning ashes under the impact of extremely powerful energy.
But an unexpected scene happened - after this earth-shattering roar, a slightly lower explosion sounded, and the light beam that originally fell vertically tilted a little bit because of this violent explosion. Under the impact of the extremely powerful energy flow, this tiny bit of error immediately turned into a non-negligible error. The red beam of light kept shaking, and finally rowed diagonally towards the distant sea tide.
As the light beam moved, the earth shattered. There was a rumble from the west of the Holy Mountain. The ground sank a few feet downwards in an instant. A huge sword-scarred fissure made of lava started from the crater and spread like a straight line toward the distant sea. For more than ten kilometers, wherever they passed, the waves separated to the left and right, turning into two parallel waterfalls. The hurricane and heavy rain stopped, and the sky was cloudless.
In mid-air, the black long sword shattered into pieces and turned into smoke and dust. The imitation artifact long sword only had the power of one blow. After one blow, it returned to the earth.
The liquid lava was lifted into the air by the terrifying shock wave, and poured down like rain. The high-heat rock vapor mixed with endless white mist, and turned into a tornado in an instant, covering the entire western sea. The entire Edda Gray Island was violently shaken. Trembling, huge cracks opened in the earth.
Although the divine magic circuit in the temple area was affected by such a shock, it still functioned stably. Layers of pale golden holy light shields rose up, blocking most of the lava rain and shock waves, but the vertical and horizontal cracks in the ground did not stop. It was not something they could stop. Many temples were temporarily paralyzed due to these cracks, allowing the black and golden high-temperature magma to attack overwhelmingly.
However, the other flying dragons present did not have this kind of defense. Most of the flying dragons and giant dragons near the battlefield were blown away by the violent shock wave. A giant dragon more than 20 meters long was no better than a fly under this kind of force. How much, the entire western part of the island and the surrounding Mad Dragon Legion were wiped out almost instantly, and were completely burned into debris by the lava rain.
The war was temporarily stopped. All the giant dragons that were fighting with the priests of the Holy Mountain immediately got rid of their opponents. They rushed back to rescue the giant dragons that were swept away by the aftermath of the Ember Earth Sword. The population of the five-color dragon tribe They are rare, and the adult dragons participating in the war are the backbone of the clan. They cannot allow these seeds to die so meaninglessly.
And the priests headed by Robzek had no intention of continuing to fight with the dragon. The lives of the dragons were precious, and the same was true for the priests in the holy mountain. They transformed into holy light one by one and flew towards the temple that had lost its defensive barriers everywhere. go.
With such power, if it were swung at the Holy Mountain... it would only take one strike to destroy the entire western defense line, right
But a light golden light flew out from a temple, and at the very center of the light pillar, the area that had become a lava lake flew away rapidly.
Loranda frowned. At this time, neither the priest nor the dragon had time to care about anything else and were busy rescuing their own members. They seemed to have acquiesced in Joshua's death, but the blond paladin did not think so. He was keenly aware of the entire process of the Ember Earth Sword condensing energy until the light beam dropped. At the moment when the light beam actually hit the crater, A force that made him feel familiar exploded in an instant, pushing the light beam away just a little bit.
If it was a direct attack from the divine weapon, even Loranda would not doubt Joshua's death, but since it was deviated, the Paladin would never believe that the warrior who could survive a direct attack from the evil god of natural disaster would die here. Plant a place!
Never will!
In an instant, Loranda had arrived at the original crater. Above the current lava lake, the astonishing scorching heat was still spreading, and the terrifying energy fluctuations vibrated back and forth in this place, hitting the holy light shield around the Paladin's head. The banging sound. He lowered his head and scanned the surging magma with his eyes, as if trying to see through the existence behind it.
After a moment, the Paladin looked shocked and happy.
At the same time, the surface of the lava bloomed with rays of light. The liquid rock seemed to be pushed away by some force, and a black shadow shrouded in a hazy light shield emerged from it.
A Jiyi-level giant dragon saw this scene. It breathed out and almost died on the spot without taking a breath. After regaining its breath, the white dragon suddenly let out a loud roar of surprise and anger: "He's not dead yet." ?!”
"How could he not die?!"
Joshua is indeed not dead.
He held the silver sword in his hand, maintaining the posture of chopping something, and the giant ax was tilted on his chest, blocking part of the power. The warrior seemed to be roaring at this time, and the burning sparks spurted out from his mouth, turning into a stream of The rushing weather signals his survival.
As early as when the core star exploded, all the clothes on the warrior's body were turned into fly ash, leaving only the armor formed by the fighting spirit as a shield. At this time, the fighting spirit wrapped around his body was almost non-existent and almost completely disappeared. The surface of the body was also full of cracks with burning sparks like burning charcoal, and the blood was burned dry.
But no matter how embarrassed he was, Joshua was not dead. He was still holding the weapon in his hand tightly.
The muscles were scorched, the eyes were turned into charcoal, and white bones could even be seen on the arms, with divine runes flowing on them. The warrior's outer skin had already been vaporized by the high-temperature explosion, and most of the flesh and blood had disappeared. .
Even with the warrior's vitality, it is coming to an end at this time. The azure orb at the heart lights up and goes dark, releasing a dim light. The continuous high-speed regeneration exceeds its load limit for a while and is about to strike.
But Joshua is still alive.
This beats everything.
"Want to take me with you?"
Fighting energy replaced his throat and shook the atmosphere. Joshua had turned into a pair of sunken eyes, and the black and red fighting spirit was still shining in the depths of his eyes. He raised his head and stared at the sky, as if he was laughing.
"You're not qualified!"
After the blow from the Ember Earth Sword was delivered, Joshua neatly split open the ball of light suspended in front of him, which he used to simulate the self-destruction of the Molten Star.
After two close encounters, one use and one experience, the warrior is already very familiar with the power of the Melt Star, but even so, this ball of light is still very unstable, but as it happens, what Joshua wants is instability. Firefly's divine machine drew out its sword, and the unstable fireball exploded immediately, forming an explosion even more violent than the molten star that Evian had self-destructed before.
The energy of the geometric multiple reaction exceeded the warrior's control ability in an instant, and he struck the artifact lowered above his head.
There is no doubt that even such a powerful self-destruction cannot compete with the blow from the red dragon's life-burning artifact, but it is like the reactive armor's self-explosion against armor-piercing bullets, slightly tilting this unparalleled power. a little-
A slight difference, a thousand miles wrong. In the end, Joshua only withstood a small part of the direct hit from the artifact. Most of his miserable appearance was caused by his own self-destruction energy.
The paladin quickly came to the warrior's side. Loranda neatly supported the warrior's shoulders and quickly led him away from the lava zone. In the next second, a furious attack from the dragon's side descended on the lava lake, like The aurora descended on the earth, and countless various spells almost blew up the huge magma lake nearly a kilometer wide, and a new round of lava rain fell.
When Robzek and others saw Joshua who was still alive, they were also shocked to the point that they almost lost the ability to think. Even he, who had seen soldiers resist various powerful spell attacks in Mandagaur, could not believe that Joshua could survive in such a desperate situation. Surviving this is simply incredible, a miracle among miracles!
But no matter how surprised he was, after seeing Rolanda helping Joshua fly to the temple area, the silver-haired paladin immediately led other Jiyi-level priests to protect him without saying a word. He was unable to resist the attacks of the dragons. The surface of the mountain is indeed powerful, but under the defense of the overlapping resonating holy light, it can only produce circles of ripples. When the holy light guarding the warriors enters the central area of the holy mountain, the dragons, no matter how unwilling they are, can only Stop attacking angrily.
At this time, the warrior's condition was very bad.
The thunderous heartbeat gradually weakened, the fire-like thoughts were cooling down, the spirit seemed to fall into the abyss, and darkness quickly pressed in. All the flesh and blood in his body, except for his heart and brain, were completely scorched. This kind of injury would take several hours for even the Azure Orb to start from scratch and initially regenerate flesh and blood that can basically sustain life. But now Joshua is almost Just these few hours.
He didn't live more than five minutes.
After being moved into the most solemn hall of the Holy Mountain Underground Fortress, Joshua was placed on the stone slab in the center of the temple. He was surrounded by more than four Jiyi-level high priests, and streams of healing light were injected into the warrior's body. Within his body, he was urging the regeneration of flesh and blood—but at this time, there was no active flesh and blood in his body, and the surging power of the Holy Light could only barely keep the warrior alive.
At this time, in the center of this majestic and ancient underground hall, the black coke-like flesh became as bright as a black gemstone under the injection of holy light. There was even residual firepower discharged from it, forming little ember-like light patterns. This Although the appearance is gorgeous, with a hint of tragic beauty, there is no breath of life.
"That does not work!"
In the center of the square, solemn hall, the abbot of the White Rose Monastery, Sister Bethana, frowned. The kind-faced old woman’s voice had a trace of anxiety in her voice: “Holy light can regenerate flesh and blood and reshape vitality. Based on the fact that the subject's body is still intact and does not resist, only Count Radcliffe's heart is still alive, but that is his energy center. Even if he allows it, we cannot introduce the Holy Light into it at all. !”
"At this time, pure life energy is needed. Holy light is not enough!"
Another Supreme Priest, Priest Garcia, who was originally injured by the legendary dragon's attack, immediately responded. The old man with dwarf blood remained calm at this time and his thinking was quick: "A heart of fear, or... yes… "
"Your Excellency Teacher of Nature, this warrior is the key to your ability to find the Father of Nature."
Suddenly, from behind the extremely powerful men, a somewhat erratic old man's voice came.
Loranda, who had been watching from the sidelines, turned to look, and then her eyes suddenly opened wide: "Godfather...His Majesty the Pope?!"
On the walls of the hall, in front of the exquisite murals and reliefs, two hazy figures seemed to condense out from a very far distance, and the powerful energy rays emitted from them even illuminated the dome.
Pope Eagle's body at this time was composed of a blurred mist of holy light. He seemed to be temporarily distracted, so facing the shocked eyes of everyone, he just smiled slightly, and then disappeared silently, and Next to him is a beautiful elf lady composed of green natural energy.
This lady was wearing clothes made of grass leaves and a crown of green oak leaves. After the shadow of Pope Eagle's holy light disappeared, she walked towards the location of Joshua. The strong-willed man subconsciously stepped aside and respectfully made way for this lady.
Because that is the leader of the Great Drew of the Elf clan, the mentor of the way of nature, and one of the leaders of all the elves in the world.
"You're actually still alive like this..."
Approaching the warrior and seeing Joshua's current state, the natural teacher couldn't help but let out a sigh. She shook her head, and then smiled helplessly: "Igor called me to deal with the five-color dragon with one sentence, now Ask me to save people again..."
"Forget it, if you really told him that it is the key to finding Father God..."
The soliloquy ended. The elf lady took out a ball of warm green light from somewhere. In the center of the light ball, there was a small piece of crystal clear translucent material floating. It was like crystal, with a texture of But it is less hard than ore, more soft, and filled with a strong breath of life.
"The heart of the tree of life!"
Everyone present was immediately amazed, but the natural teacher was not affected by this exclamation. She came to the warrior, and then without any hesitation, she pressed the heart of the tree to Joshua's heart.
Green light flashes.
The heavy heartbeat echoed throughout the hall again.
