Starfall 833, winter, Moldavian Territory, on the banks of the Magellanic River, in the evening.
The sun was setting in the west, clouds filled the sky, and the light of the stars and moon was obscured by the increasingly thick clouds, making the sky and earth dim.
But suddenly, a strong wind suddenly rose, thunder exploded in mid-air, and an astonishing bright light flashed between the sky and the earth like lightning. Unlike real lightning, this crack-shaped, dark red huge trace of light did not disappear, but solidified in mid-air for a long time.
After a moment, the light dissipated, and the dark red crack revealed its true face - it was a gap that seemed to be chopped out by a sharp blade and hung above the space. There were irregular crack lines on both ends of the gap. It spreads around, and on the other side of the crack, it seems that a strange and terrifying world can be seen, in which countless fungi and poisonous insects multiply, and the blasphemous atmosphere is rapidly spreading towards the surroundings from it.
"boom!"
As if being pulled by this breath, a thunder suddenly sounded in the clouds over the Maghe Bu Feng River, and the next moment, thunder and light collided, thunderbolts exploded across the mountains, freezing rain mixed with blizzards poured down, turning the whole world into ashes. Created a dark and cold world.
As a bolt of lightning pierced the night sky, a deformed figure suddenly flew out of the crack in the air. He drew a long arc through the snow curtain, and finally fell to the ground.
And a man with a spear in his hand, whose muscles and bones were twisted by a terrifying force, also walked out of the huge space-time rift.
Joshua stood in front of the rapidly closing space-time rift, circulating his life energy and repairing his injuries. The moment he controlled the dragon-hunting sword and gun to fight with Herras, his body suffered a huge impact. , most of the flesh and blood on the body was torn and deformed by the extremely terrifying traction force. If it weren't for the divine power in the warrior's bones, even the skeleton might have been twisted and squeezed, and even turned into bone fragments.
The last divine spell used by the high priest of the cult contained incredible power. If Herras himself could not control it and dissipated in the middle, Joshua could not guarantee that he would survive, but no matter what He said that now everything was as he expected - with the help of the two men's full blow, the warrior broke the time and space rift back to Mycroft's continent, and forced Herras out of his home in the Plague World.
The air is filled with a fishy smell, which is the result of the atmospheric circulation in the few breaths between the Plague World and the Mycrof Continent. The high-heat and high-energy clouds and mist generated by the battle between the two extremely powerful people overflow from the cracks. It caused ice rain and snowstorms, and the extremely cold temperature also suppressed the evil plague spreading in the air, preventing them from spreading wantonly.
Not long after, Joshua had roughly repaired the damage to his body. In the distance, the forest where Herras fell was rapidly withering.
"good!"
A low, angry voice sounded from the ground. In the center of a forest that had withered into a tree trunk, the high priest of the cult, who had also healed himself, raised his head and looked up at Joshua in the air. Although his tone was angry, , but still with a hint of admiration: "I didn't expect that you have such a profound knowledge of time and space, and you can actually find the weak point of time and space to return to Mycrof's continent... It seems that you are indeed the strongest group under the legend. One of the people."
The subspace opened up by Herras is located in the void outside the world. In the void, the distance between worlds is infinitely far and infinitely close. Except for some natural narrow passages of time and space, only by mastering the rhythm of time and space, Only strong men who can determine various precise coordinates can travel to various worlds with their own power. Otherwise, it is easy to get lost in the endless void. The warrior can find the coordinates to return to Mycroft's continent in an instant, which really makes him admire. .
But in this regard, he really overestimated Joshua... He just simply wanted to make a hole in the barrier of time and space. No matter which world it led to, or the endless void, it was better than letting Herras be in his home field. , it would be better to launch terrifying attacks that shocked him again and again. Even if it was nothing, the most dangerous void, it could at least temporarily expel Herras, and maybe seal the almost-killer. A powerful and immortal being.
Without the support of the life force of the plague world, the various biological weapons deformed around Herras gradually turned into normal human arms and organs. He has not yet become a legend and completely changed his life form, and his energy has also changed. Because of his shortcomings, he could not use his full strength in Mycroft's continent.
Herras's body is located in the plague world. The one that usually walks in Mycrov's world is just a spare body. In the past, there were legendary strongmen in the Western Mountains who surrounded and suppressed him, but at most they only lost one body. But the main body is still safe and sound, and will continue to wreak havoc on Xishan after a while.
But this time, he thought he could defeat Joshua, but his spare body could not defeat the warrior, so he absorbed him into the plague world and used his true body to fight against the enemy, but then he was kicked by Joshua in a way that would hurt both of them. Out of the plague world. Now, it is the main body that is damaged, not the indifferent incarnation, and the energy consumption of the two is not at the same level.
But even so, Herras now gave Joshua a feeling of extreme danger.
"It's unimaginable that you are less than thirty, but you have such a huge vitality. If you could not only sense the wails of wild beasts and monsters from the power in your body, I would even suspect that you slaughtered hundreds of thousands, hundreds of Thousands of human beings.”
Stretching out his hand that had returned to its original shape, he held the air emptyly. Pieces of black mist spread and condensed. Herras held a long sword condensed by dim light. His eyes were full of thoughts: "The entire Northern Empire's The number of monsters is limited, and even the Black Tide cannot gather so many powerful monsters... You cannot be the life force condensed in Mycroft Continent."
The high priest of the cult pondered for a while, then chuckled: "Yes, seeing how you are so familiar with opening time and space rifts, you must have been to other worlds to plunder and kill. The soul fragments around you are wailing, tell me this information."
"You're hesitating."
But Joshua did not answer. He held a spear in his hand, and the blade of the dragon-hunting sword was lowered, pointing directly at Herras: "There is no need to talk about the battle."
He has seen that the high priest of the cult has not adapted to the environment of Mycroft's world due to the rapid switching of forms. So if he wants to delay time with words, how can the warrior let the enemy get his wish? Naturally, I took advantage of his illness and killed him!
Buzz!
The spear in Joshua's hand shook, and in the next moment, his whole body turned into a stream of light, and he rushed towards Herras!
A spear stabbed out, like a meteor falling to the ground. Joshua activated the Breath of Scorched Hell. Thousands of degrees of heat were concentrated on his arms and the tip of the spear, condensing it into a concentrated gun blade that could evaporate everything. When the core star exploded, The generated energy flow method is also used in it, and the aftermath brings bursts of orange-red high-heat smoke in the air.
But Herras also showed a speed that was not inferior to Joshua's. He snorted coldly, then held a long sword and faced him head on.
In an instant, the bloody wind and rain exploded.
This is not a battle between ordinary strong men, but a close fight between two people who are close to legends and at the peak of their will. You can only hear the two rays of light contacting each other rapidly in the mid-air, separating, and then coming together again, emitting There were continuous roaring noises, spears and swords colliding with each other, and there was a tooth-breaking sound of friction. Herras and Joshua fought in a narrow place at a high speed at more than ten times the speed of sound, twisting and turning. The air and the vacuum fault caused by it temporarily distorted the light, making it difficult to see the details of their battle.
The bodies of these two people have reached an extreme level. Even the giant dragon and the abyss beast do not have such tough bodies. A slight collision between them will cause the aftermath of the Maghe River below them to explode. violent explosion,
After a moment, the two separated and faced each other for a thousandth of a second.
At this time, Joshua's chest was broken open, and the ribs protecting the heart on the left side were cut off by the long sword containing the evil plague. In the beating chest, blood seemed to have its own life flowing, and the warrior's legs The bones were also broken by the huge kick and bent slightly.
Herras was even more unbearable. There were fifteen large holes in his body that were completely scorched and penetrated from front to back. They shattered the spine of the high priest of the cult into three pieces, and even pierced his heart and even his forehead. Above it, there is a big hole that is overflowing with brain matter.
But this kind of injury was harmless to both of them. A thousandth of a second later, the two came together as if they had teleported and started fighting again.
Spears, swords, fists, kicks, all the skills that humans can use, were used by these two people on each other's bodies wantonly. They attacked each other like a violent storm, causing their bodies that were tougher than steel to explode with sparks. Huge wounds appeared one after another, but under the effect of the high-speed self-healing ability, these wounds all healed quickly, as if they started to turn back time the moment they were struck.
The land near the Maghe Bu Feng River was completely in a mess. Continuous shock waves and violent winds caused the ground within several kilometers to collapse. If it weren't for the aftermath of the battle between Joshua and Herras, , the river water has poured into this place long ago, turning it into a lake.
In an instant, the energy sword in Herras's hand was shattered by the dragon-hunting sword and gun, but the powerful explosion also shook the sword and gun away. Seeing this opportunity, Herras did not retreat but advanced, and instead rushed into Joshua's body. The inner circle grabbed the warrior's left shoulder. He circulated his energy and exerted force suddenly. A layer of thick and tough flesh and blood was completely torn open, revealing a skeleton with divine runes shining underneath. But at the same time, Joshua He simply put aside the spear and smashed the flesh and blood ribs on Herras's chest with one strike, completely crushing his heart and soul.
Another blow that replaced injuries, but unlike Joshua, Herras's heart was just a decoration. Although he was indeed slightly inferior in close combat, because of this trait, neither of them suffered fatal injuries. .
At this time, the cult's high priest's body has long been alienated, without any vital points. The life form of Herras, who is only one step away from the legend, is somewhat similar to the larvae of the void beast. As long as his vitality does not die out, he will Never die.
And because Joshua needs an explosive core for energy operation and a thinking center, he still has two important weaknesses, the heart and the brain, in his body. Although it is not impossible to repair, if the damage is serious, then his combat effectiveness will increase for a period of time. If they surrender, there is also the possibility of being killed by a sudden attack.
While Joshua was worrying about how to kill Herras, Herras was also thinking about how to kill this enemy that had caused him trouble for the first time.
Divine spells are ineffective, magic is ineffective, and the warrior is surrounded by a layer of inexplicable power. It is not the power of life, but the aura of order that makes the high priest feel extremely disgusted. It easily expels the occasional use of Herras. Some of the weakening curses and divine spells, and the magic of the evocation system cannot even be used up close, and are dispersed by the majestic vitality.
Hand-to-hand combat is even more of a disadvantage. In terms of martial arts, Heranas considers himself to be one of the few masters in Mycroft's world. He has learned how to use various weapons since he was a child, whether it is swords, guns, knives, axes or The high priest is proficient in all the staffs, long bows, and can be skillfully used in battle, but Joshua's martial arts skills are simply beyond his imagination. It is difficult for Herras to understand that a man only half his age can How could a young man who was younger than him be so much better than him in this area? Even if he had been practicing martial arts since birth, he would not have been able to hone his skills to this point.
The only thing that can defeat Joshua is his huge vitality reserve and the [War Mode] that can only be used in the plague world.
Neither side left the other side much time to think. The dragon-hunting sword and gun were recalled by the warriors, and a new energy weapon was condensed in the hands of the high priest.
And in the distant sky.
A white-haired old man and a sturdy warrior with dark golden hair stood in the clouds, looking at the battle in Moldova.
"Israel, are you really not going to take action?"
The Archmage Jiyi, who had just returned to Mycroft's world from the Void Star Observatory and rushed to the North, said in a playful tone to the ruler of the empire beside him: "You rushed back from the Holy Mountain in a hurry, are you just watching?" Is it lively?”
But Israel shook his head and said to his teacher in a calm tone: "Originally, I did intend to stop it, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary."
"He's here."
The two of them watched the battle that took place on the banks of the Maghe Bufrog River, their eyes filled with emotion.
With the power of Herras, even Nostradamus would not dare to claim victory easily. Even in the most optimistic situation, he would at best use the time and space magic that he is good at to temporarily seal this monster with almost endless vitality in In the void, the more likely scenario is that the old man was dragged down by his infinite endurance, and finally died due to the opponent's innate ability draining his life force.
As for Israel, although he was confident of killing Heranas through some special methods, the other party was not a fool. When he saw the legendary powerhouse taking action, he would naturally simply run away and use various magical and magical techniques. With power, the emperor cannot say that he will definitely be able to capture the opponent.
"No matter how powerful a strong man is, no matter how ambitious he is, I am not afraid even if he is targeting my position."
"What I'm afraid of is that he has no desire. A person without desire doesn't even know what he wants. How can he lead others forward?"
Israel slowly murmured to himself, his cloak rustling in the strong wind from the sky: "Joshua has no interest in power, money, beauty, wine... He has no interest in most things. Desire is just a single-minded expectation to fight with the strong."
"How can I take away what others like?"
Suddenly, the legendary dragon knight's pupils shrank, and he said coldly: "The winner is about to be determined!"
The truth is as he said.
As if it was a mistake, the power of the spear in Joshua's hand suddenly stopped for a moment in the middle of the thrust. It was knocked away by the sword in Herras' hand, leaving a gap in his chest. Naturally, the high priest of the cult would not miss this opportunity. Although he also wondered why the warrior would reveal such low-level flaws, he could afford the price even if it was a trap.
Therefore, the long sword in Herras's hand exploded and turned into a mighty shock wave, temporarily stopping the defensive posture of the warrior. Then he suddenly rushed in front of the opponent, gathered life energy in one hand and thrust it out, and his right palm sank directly into Qiao Qiao's body. In Xiuya's left chest.
Flesh and blood splattered, and the two extremely different life energies produced a huge repulsive force at the moment of contact. Joshua's life force surged crazily, trying to push Herras' palm out of his body, but the life force of the high priest of the cult He was already stronger than a warrior, so if he fought with his fists and feet, it wouldn't matter, but now that it has penetrated deep into his body, it is unstoppable.
"This time, you lose."
The strong force shattered Joshua's ribs. Herras' right hand pierced the visceral diaphragm and directly grasped the warrior's heart. He raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, activated his natural ability, and the power of void energy began to rise rapidly. Drain Joshua's life force.
The soldier's complexion paled visibly to the naked eye. It felt like a dam collapsed, and his abundant vitality flowed away like a flood. He clearly felt that his life was rapidly decreasing. However, Herras' face was also ugly. The warrior's vitality contained the power of order that made him extremely uncomfortable. But at this time, he could no longer stop and could only continue to extract Joshua's vitality, trying to kill him in one go. Kill the other party completely to avoid unnecessary complications.
It was so powerful that even the high priest of the cult felt surprised energy pouring into his body. Joshua's life force seemed to be still active after being absorbed, stirring destruction in his body. In order to avoid killing Joshua before, His own body collapsed first, and Herras could only forcefully control it, gathering the life force belonging to Joshua into a core, suppressing it in his body, waiting to be slowly absorbed in the future.
But at this moment, the soldier also showed a smile.
"This is the time we've been waiting for."
A green flash suddenly lit up at the warrior's heart, and the power of order like a tide burst out from the azure orb in an instant, mixed with Joshua's life force and poured into Herras' body. In the meantime, the high priest of the cult was enveloped in cyan light and could not move.
He raised his trembling arm and pulled out Herras' palm inserted into his chest. Joshua inserted his hand into the wound without changing his expression, straightened the position of his already atrophied heart, and then he casually inserted it into the wound. With a beat on his chest, high-temperature fighting energy flowed through his chest like fire, and a flame mixed with ashes shot out from behind, and the wound had healed.
The warrior's face already had a lot of aging wrinkles, and most of his black hair had turned pale. But even so, his eyes still emitted a scorching light like lava. Joshua approached and was struck by the power of order. The bound Herlas grabbed his left arm without hesitation, and then yanked hard.
For a moment, blood and flesh spattered, and an arm bone still with tendons and blood vessels was pulled out from his body. But surprisingly, no blood flowed out from such a serious wound, and the arm bone had , there are also black and red lines flowing on it, with the light of divine runes flowing on it.
"I knew that you, being too greedy and selfish, would not crush my heart directly. Instead, you would want to use this flaw to directly drain my life force and kill me completely."
Holding his arm bone with his right hand, Joshua did not hesitate at all. He aimed at the core formed by Herras absorbing his own life force and stabbed it cleanly.
"You sucked it in yourself." The soldier said mockingly, "I can't even do this."
Poof.
The black-red arm bone, after penetrating Herras' body and the core of life force condensed by himself, suddenly bloomed with infinite light, majestic and shocking, and a bloody and cruel aura emanated from this arm bone. , releasing infinite majesty—the vitality belonging to Joshua, stimulated by the divine nature belonging to Joshua, immediately got rid of the suppression of Herras and began to spread crazily towards the opponent's body.
Just like cancer cells.
