"You stay outside. If there are signs of collapse of the ruins, get out quickly."
After calmly giving instructions to Hotaru, Rin and the others following him, Joshua strode into the door.
He suddenly felt his eyes darken.
The ancient ruins in Modesi Mountain are actually a huge steel cell buried under the mountain. Every wall and brick inside is inscribed with restraining runes and sealing arrays against the power of chaos. Everyone present, even those cultists of the Plague Cult, are still human beings in the final analysis. Even the transformation of the blasphemous spider demon is a transformation and application of vitality, which is essentially different from the real chaos in the void, so it will not Being restrained by it, you only need to beware of various defensive traps along the way.
But when he stepped across the black stone gate that was two people high and nearly half a meter thick, the warrior noticed that the restraining and sealing power in the surrounding rune array was all concentrated together in an instant, and the energy value leaped forward. Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of times - this feels like a mountain is pressing down, completely crushing and destroying all creatures that enter this door, and even the remains will be suppressed in place forever.
Joshua is a human being and carries the power of order, which is almost of the same nature as the energy running in the corresponding runes of this ruin. Even with such high compatibility and adaptability, he feels as if he is carrying hundreds of tons. The iron block operation, not to mention the chaotic creatures that were deliberately targeted, must have been hundreds, thousands of times the weight of Joshua.
But in response to the heavy load, the warrior's body did not even tremble, but continued to walk forward, his footsteps stepping on the ground, making a heavy collision sound, as stable as ever.
The weight of hundreds of tons is nothing to Joshua. When he was in the golden realm, he could already lift the 4,000-ton gate of the main city of Moldavia with his bare hands, using various abilities and amplitudes at full strength. , and can even wrestle with a giant beast as big as a mountain. This level of load is equivalent to adding an extra piece of clothing to today's warriors, and they don't feel anything at all.
In the cell, there was only a faint fluorescence, and complex white energy lines flowed on the stone walls of the cell, forming a shape like a circuit board. The source of the earthquake was not far ahead, at the center where the energy lines converged. , there, some dark behemoth is hitting the ground hard, trying to break free.
No, it's more like he's fighting someone.
Bang! Suddenly there was a dull crash, and a black figure flew up from the center of the cell. Joshua raised his hand and caught the figure's back, and the blond swordsman who had been fighting with all his strength until just now was here. It was only then that I realized that there was another person in the cell.
"Joshua? You're actually here?!"
Brandon, who stood firm with the support of the warrior, immediately turned his head and said with surprise and joy. Shocked because he knew what the warrior was doing before. Now Joshua appears here, proving that he has defeated and even killed Herras, a strong man at the peak of his will. Happy because now there is an extra strong supporter. , that 'monster' in the darkness is no longer a concern.
"What's the situation now?"
But unlike the blond swordsman, who was obviously relaxed, Joshua's expression was very serious. Unlike Brandon, who still thought that Mount Modes was an ancient ruins before, the warrior already knew that this place was a huge , the seal that suppressed the chaotic evil thing. Now they are located at the core of the seal. The person who fought Brandon before might be part of that evil thing.
His perception was suppressed here and could not spread beyond ten meters, just like in the small world of Herras, so Joshua asked the swordsman what happened before.
"Ahem, the remnants of the cultists fled into the ruins after their defeat. They seemed to be very familiar with the routes inside the ruins, and relied on the geographical location to keep delaying our pursuit... I followed the leading cult priest all the way. He killed many cultists, but he still escaped into this stone room."
Coughing to knock out the congestion in his trachea, Brandon immediately gave a general explanation of the previous situation. When he said this, the blond swordsman's voice revealed deep doubts and disbelief. He said solemnly: "But I'm tight. After entering the stone chamber, I found that he was shouting strange slogans that were not like human language at all, and then rushed into a mass of unknown darkness under the weight of hundreds of tons... "
Before he could finish his words, in the darkness not far away, the sound of friction and creeping suddenly sounded. The next moment, a second earthquake-like vibration occurred. The violent vibration caused the earth to shake, and even the solid There were tiny cracks all around the stone chamber.
And beams of light with unknown sources immediately appeared from all sides of the cell, focusing on the center - the powerful fluctuations of the power of order resonated, even causing the hearts of the warriors and the double blades in the swordsmen's hands to light up. They are like countless chains composed of light, restraining the indescribable thing at the center with energy.
The being who fought with Brandon before finally revealed his true form.
Located at the bottom of Modesi Mountain, the core of the huge disc-shaped seal ruins is a stone chamber with a length and width of less than a hundred meters and a small area. However, in the center of this simple and unsophisticated stone chamber, there is a The group was suppressed and bound into a spherical huge black unknown substance by countless light beams of the power of order.
This black ball is about twenty meters in diameter and is composed of an unknown liquid as viscous as asphalt. It surges slowly and tries to bulge, but it cannot escape the constraints of the ethereal light beam. On the front of the ball, there is a The light of the light pillar was slightly dim, and it flickered as if there was a poor contact, so this part of the black viscous liquid broke through the position of the power of order and formed a long tentacle.
The one who fought Brandon before was this thick and long tentacle. The black viscous liquid that made up this tentacle was still slowly squirming, and there was an unsettling and strange energy flow jumping on it. At this time, this tentacle was violently The earth hit the ground of the stone chamber, and the terrifying power was distributed to the entire ruins by the magic circle runes engraved in the stone chamber. This is the truth behind the earthquake that sealed the ruins before.
"Be careful, Joshua!"
Seeing this, the blond swordsman subconsciously pressed his chest, where the tentacle had hit before knocking him away. Brandon felt his ribs that were about to crack, with a serious face: "That cult priest doesn't know What method was used to break part of the original seal, and used myself as a sacrifice to activate this strange ball. Its power is very terrifying even if it is restrained, and any of my attacks have no effect."
While speaking, a faint blue halo appeared in Brandon's eyes, and he said coldly: "This monster has no weaknesses, and it doesn't even have the concept of death. I can't find any gaps or opportunities... It's True immortality!"
certainly.
Joshua stared at the unknown black substance in front of him, and he sensed a faint but extremely familiar aura from it. That was the aura he sensed when he and the Father of Nature faced the terrifying meteorites falling from the sky in the world of Ilgna.
This is a fragment of the evil god.
How can the life and death in the eyes of mortal things describe its existence
Suppressed by thousands of light beams of the power of order, this black ball containing a faint aura of the evil god is still struggling. Finally, it has been sacrificed again and awakened. The creature of void chaos is struggling to escape from the cage that has imprisoned it for thousands of years. How could the seal set by the strong man who defeated it allow it to escape so easily
Along with the rumbling sound under his feet, the warrior sensed that there was a majestic energy flow surging from deep in the earth's crust. This sealed ruins located around the Great Ajax volcano was thousands of meters below the earth. The lava area is maintained by the energy source. This energy is so powerful that the light beam binding the evil god's fragments brightened several times in an instant, and the previously dim light beam also returned to its original brightness, and they once again This group of evil god fragments was tightly bound into a black ball, but there was still something slowly swimming inside the ball, as if waiting for the opportunity to break the seal.
"… it's over?"
Seeing this, Brandon was stunned for a moment. He blinked, then looked around the entire stone room, and said to himself in a strange tone: "So we don't need to take action..."
"After all, the person who set the seal may be a saint or a god from the Glorious Era. The self-sacrifice of a gold-level priest cannot shake its foundation. But if Herras comes Once the seal is broken, things won’t be that simple.”
As he spoke, Joshua observed the four walls of the stone chamber and the ceiling of the floor. There were bright runes with corona-like light currents dancing around. The light pillars that sealed the evil god's fragments were produced by them. The heat from the core of the earth's lava area was absorbed by them. These runes were converted into pure power of order and positive energy similar to holy light, and then turned into a force that was enough to compress a mountain into a house-sized stone, suppressing it on the black ball.
If it weren't for this, and the evil god fragments that weren't bound were struck out with one blow, Brandon would not only have his ribs about to be broken, but the blond swordsman would have been seriously injured before he entered the ultimate state, and would have been unconscious for dozens of years. God, if you are a soldier, you will also suffer heavy losses.
After observing for a long time, Joshua frowned: "There is no problem with the seal itself, it is perfect, but there is a problem with the place that holds the seal."
After speaking, he pointed to a corner of the stone room, and Brandon looked up there. Fine cracks had begun to spread, tearing apart several radiant runes and dimming them a lot.
Micro cracks like this are all over the entire stone chamber, and they are slowly spreading with the conversion and flow of energy. If there are no accidents, within ten years, the seal will completely lose its effectiveness, causing the evil god fragments inside the mountain to be unsealed.
Seeing this, Brandon couldn't help but frowned. He turned his head thoughtfully and looked at the gate, which had been isolated by layers of energy shields like water flow. He could only vaguely see the back of the energy shield. Among them, there is a group of purple people waiting at the door.
"This is troublesome. For us, more than ten years are just a short period of time."
Exhaling a breath, the blond swordsman said solemnly: "Immortal chaotic creatures... It seems that we need to invite the high priests of the Church of the Seven Gods to come and see if they can perfect the seal. By the way, Joshua, you Don’t you know His Majesty the Pope? If he takes action, he will be sure of success.”
"I do know His Majesty Eagle." Joshua was also thinking, but in comparison, his tone was very casual, not as solemn as Brandon. After pondering for a while, the warrior suddenly said : "There is no need to trouble the Church of the Seven Gods—Brandon, don't you have the Double Blade of Order?"
The warrior's gaze shifted to the waist of the blond swordsman. The two divine weapons flashing with cold light were echoing the majestic power of order around them, and a glimmer of light flowed around them. Seeing these two inherited magic weapons left by the sages, Joshua raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Why don't you try this thing to see if you can kill this monster?"
He didn't tell Brandon that this black ball was probably the fragments of an unknown evil god left on the Mycroft continent. However, as a saint who could defeat and kill the evil god, he left behind Even if the weapon is not fully awakened, it should be able to have a great restraint effect on this void and chaotic thing.
And Brandon's hands subconsciously touched the hilts of the two magic weapons - when he was fighting the tentacles before, he was knocked away before he could pull out the weapons. It was not clear whether the double blades of order could cause damage to the opponent. , but after thinking about it for a while, the blond swordsman felt that this was indeed a good idea. Anyway, the seal has been damaged and will automatically disintegrate and disappear in a dozen years, so there is no harm in trying it now. After all, Moldova is Verdani's territory, and it is the husband's duty to help his wife solve her problems.
Moreover, for some reason, Brandon felt that this was what he should do. Even if he didn't do it now, he would do the same thing more than ten years later.
The two looked at each other and nodded. Since the decision had been made, there was no need to say anything more.
Brandon held the hilt of the double-edged sword tightly with both hands. He closed his eyes and adjusted the power in his body. Layers of light cyan fighting spirit lit up around him, as if forming a cyan armor. Under the operation of life energy, , the injury on the blond swordsman's chest healed quickly, and he adjusted his physical condition to the optimal level.
The next moment, he pulled out the double blades of order.
There are no fancy patterns on the blade of the unpretentious Divine Sword. There are only the flickering runes that contain a sacred aura, the white light flashing on the blades of the two swords, and the solid light pillars in the surrounding stone chambers. Resonating, the invisible fluctuations produced when the two intersected made the cold and hard stones on the four walls tremble slightly. These ancient walls with a history of thousands of years were painted with countless obscure and mysterious relief runes. They seemed to recognize them. The pair of magic weapons left behind by the sages cheered loudly. The invisible sharp sword energy spread with the swordsman's breath, cutting the surrounding air into small airflows.
At the same time, Joshua's chest also beat heavily, and the heavy heartbeat was accompanied by the rapidly spreading vitality, mixed with green light and covering the entire stone chamber. As soon as the warrior thought, Firefly and Rin stepped across the energy barrier at the gate at the same time. The magic light flashed, and the two divine machines flew into his hands and merged into gray dragon-hunting swords and guns.
"Let's do it."
With a low shout, Joshua took the lead. After the battle with Herras, the warrior's skills improved again. At this moment, he moved his gun slightly, and all the vitality that had spread out before was desperately moving towards the tip of the gun. As if countless tiny stars were attracted by something, a long accretion disk was formed at the front end of the sword and gun. The compressed and condensed vitality and power of order mixed with the power in the surrounding light pillars, and were captured by the warrior. His will ignited into a red fire, and then he stabbed towards the black ball in front of him like this.
On the side, Brandon also took action almost at the same time.
But this time he took action, the formation was much larger than Joshua's.
For some reason, the blond swordsman felt that the power of order in the surrounding light pillars was like a river flowing into the ocean, condensing towards the two 'black holes' held tightly in his hands, and the holy white light even broke through. His body surface was constantly flowing up and down his body. At this time, Brandon was shocked to find that the double blades of order in his hands had turned into a light blade composed of two rays of light, one silver and one white, forming a light blade. Every ray of light contains countless densely packed holy runes, which are filled with seemingly endless power and exude an aura of order that is difficult to describe in words.
Compared with the Azure Orb, which had been developed, awakened, and filled with the life of endless chaos monsters by Joshua, the relic of the sage 'Double Blades of Order' held by Brandon seemed to have not yet reached the destined moment, so He has never shown any special qualities, but due to the influence of the warrior, the fate of the swordsman has also been changed. The gears of destiny that may have to wait for more than ten years have begun to turn.
Therefore, the double blades that had turned into an invisible stream of light were cut down directly with Brandon's thoughts. They roared like thunder, and even came first, striking at the target earlier than Joshua's spear. surface of the black sphere.
The black 'ball' had already noticed the dangerous aura that was rapidly condensing not far away. It struggled with all its strength, with countless tentacles bulging and surging, making a buzzing and harsh friction sound. This time the evil god fragment wanted to get rid of the surrounding sealed ruins. The restraint really used all the remaining strength. The restraint stance turned into thousands of light beam chains was stirred and roiling by it, roaring like the ocean tide, and the endless runes engraved on the four walls were counteracting the influence of the power. The explosions exploded one after another, darkening the originally bright stone chamber.
However, the double blades and spears containing the power of the ancient sages were mixed with the mighty power of order, and stabbed into its body with a crash.
Bang.
There was a soft sound, and unlike the asphalt-like appearance, which was composed of countless viscous liquids, Joshua felt that the tip of his spear was not piercing into some solid flesh and blood, but instead piercing into a mass of rapidly rotating airflow inside. , this airflow has no direction at all, countless chaotic airflows in different directions, different speeds, and even different sizes are stirring rapidly, as if they want to push the warrior's sword and gun out of his body.
But Joshua just silently added strength, and the gray spear, packed with majestic energy flow, completely penetrated the body of the black ball.
And the next moment.
Derived from fantasy.
If Joshua had not appeared, the Dragon Disaster would have happened about half a year later. The White Dragon of the North would have been entrenched in the North, and the Plague Cult would not have diverted its attention to this bitter and cold place. Naturally, it would not have The location of the seal relics was found in ancient classics. More than ten years later, the sealing relics gradually lost their effectiveness, and Brandon Daughter Control Kaos, who was already close to a legend at that time, would take action to destroy this evil god fragment for the sake of his two daughters.
