Once upon a time, Joshua was just an ordinary Silver Knight.
Without any special bloodline or powerful talent, he is just an ordinary former army commander, leading his subordinates to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
After soul fusion and possessing the system, this point has not actually changed. Although Joshua has the skills of a martial artist in his previous life and can rely on the system to improve his strength, in essence, he is still just a person without any power. Mortals of blood and talent.
That is, human beings can no longer be normal.
But all this changed after he obtained the Azure Orb and the inheritance of the Chaos Watcher.
[The power of inheritance of the watcher: all attributes are permanently +20. Every time a chaos monster is killed, all attributes are +0.01 (the designated bloodline is inherited after death, and the inheritance range is determined by personal quality)]
[—It is passed down from generation to generation and continues endlessly.]
[The Glory of Burning Evil: When killing enemies on the Chaos side, an additional 30% experience will be awarded. If there is a reward for killing these monsters, then the reward will be doubled]
[—The blood of chaos, the source of fire.]
It was originally an inconspicuous characteristic, a tasteless thing. You must know that even a Chaos Guardian who makes a living by hunting Chaos Monsters will rarely be able to kill more than a thousand Chaos Monsters in his lifetime. Even if it is doubled, That is, an attribute of less than 20 points. In fact, according to the records in the Radcliffe family history, the head of the family who killed the most monsters only killed 3,500 wild gods in his short life. That's all, these additional attributes don't change anything.
But the decisive difference between Joshua and others is here.
That's the quantity.
In the Moldova Territory, he killed tens of thousands of demonized monsters and almost wiped out the entire Black Tide. In the world of Kallis, he killed tens of thousands of Desolate Gods, even leaping over the ranks and killing one. The ultimate son of desolation, a warrior who slew dragons and hunted wild beasts, not to mention that he was still in the world of Ilgona, with the blessing of the true God Father of Nature and even the blessing of all divine power, he wiped out almost the entire world of stone demons. .
Although most of the chaotic power was not absorbed by him and converted into attributes, but became the fuel for the activation of the Soul-Burning King state, even a small part of it was enough to improve Joshua's attributes to far beyond The level of ordinary demons and dragons.
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. A mortal, relying on hundreds of additional attributes, can reach places that are unimaginable to ordinary people, and perform feats that would be jaw-dropping even for those with extraordinary talents.
Just like now.
A colossal power that far exceeds ordinary ultimate will and can even compare to some low-level legends is explosively spreading around Joshua's heart, and then converging on the tip of the sword and gun he holds, which is exactly what Tian Qing said. The life brought by the orb can strengthen the 'fighting spirit' of hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of times
The Fighting Qi Breathing Technique practiced by a warrior can be described as extremely ordinary. Before he created the Breath of Scorched Prison, it did not have any special abilities or effects, only the most basic high temperature and impact. But even though it is so ordinary, it is different from ordinary warriors The energy without any difference can be restored to its original nature in the hands of Joshua! Become a spiral capable of destroying everything!
Far beyond the surface of the sun, its mere existence can ionize the air, melt the earth with blazing heat, and crush everything, even the most basic structure of matter. The two are combined with Joshua's gun. The sharp fusion forms a perfect spiral cycle—
The energy breaks the matter, releasing more energy for the next step of breaking, superimposing, and then thrusting out with all its strength!
In the southwest wasteland, at the entrance to a hidden cave, several survivors were carefully looking into the distance. Whether it was Adair, Crete or Larrel, these young girls who had received Joshua's inheritance were among them. Before that, he followed his 'master''s instructions and gathered all the survivors together, hiding in this safe corner and waiting for the end of the battle.
Naturally, they had great faith in the strength of the warriors, but the majestic power of the phantom of the military god that stirred up the world was also frightening. Listening to the violent explosions and the roar that broke the sound barrier from afar, the boys and girls felt Somewhat uneasy.
"You said, Lord Joshua, he..."
Crete whispered to himself, but before he could finish speaking, a slightly rude girl's voice interrupted him: "Shut up, Crete!"
A look stopped Critter from wanting to refute. Larrel's eyes narrowed slightly. She said this, but it was not a blind admiration. The blond girl seemed to be reminiscing. She whispered: "I I still remember the aura of the guardian when he was alive... Even in his prime, it was not comparable to the power that Sir Joshua revealed unconsciously. This means that Sir, he has power at the peak of the heavenly realm, or even beyond the heavenly realm... "
At this moment, in the distance, a red sun expanded rapidly, and then quickly burst. Amidst the panicked shouts of young girls, a strong wind exceeding level 14, which could be called a natural disaster, swept from the distance. Coming, they had to push the boulder to seal the entrance of the earthquake cave.
However, before completely sealing the cave entrance, the boy named Adair took a deep look at the outside world.
"I want to win... Sir."
At this time, Joshua, who was suspended in mid-air, looked solemnly at the half-broken shadow of the military god in front of him.
The collision between the armor-breaking giant sword and the spiral sword ended with the complete defeat of the military god's shadow. Not only was the energy giant sword in his hand shattered into crystal flakes, but the tough dragon scale armor was also opened with a diameter of five The ten-meter-long maw, you can see the shattered ribs and spine inside.
But the warrior who was clearly the winner had an extremely serious expression.
Because the results were not what he expected.
On the ground, countless undead soldiers who had been knocked to the ground by the aftermath of the previous wave all stood up again. They shook their bodies, causing sand and stone to fall from the gaps between their armor and bones. The power of the spiral gun was powerful and concentrated, and there would not be any spillage originally. The scattered energy exploded, but due to the collision with the armor-breaking giant sword, a storm swept across the entire wasteland in an instant.
Such an impact must be taken seriously by ordinary golden warriors, otherwise they will be seriously injured, but these undead soldiers who are clearly close to gold seem not to have been harmed at all - and as the undead soldiers stood up, the army on the verge of being shattered The shadow of the god also began to gradually recover. Along with the gray-black resentment and murderous intent, the body and armor of the huge skeletal military god healed themselves within a few seconds. However, the giant sword did not seem to be easy to recover, and his left hand was still empty. .
It can be said that it was a full blow, but the result was that the opponent only healed himself for a few seconds, and not even a single undead soldier was killed - if this had always been the case, then this battle would not be able to continue.
"At their core... is you."
Looking at the dragon-armored general standing behind the phantom of the Army God and countless undead soldiers, who was not surprised by Joshua's power, the soldier said solemnly: "I understand... these undead soldiers and the phantom of the Army God, They are all just a part of you, so in my eyes, only you have energy responses, and killing them is meaningless. Only by killing you as the [Lord of the Armies] can these undead souls be completely destroyed!"
This is not a strange thing. The Lich's phylactery is made using a similar principle - the life source of these undead soldiers should all be in Arman's body, thus forming a source of power like an icy ocean. This external condensation of huge energy is the Skeleton God of War. Killing the latter two is a waste of physical energy. It only makes sense to cause harm to Arman!
I am the armies, and the armies are me! This is not an exaggeration, but a fact.
At this time, Arman also raised his head slightly, and he seemed to be smiling.
After seeing Joshua's stunning blow and deducing part of the truth about his secret skills, the general who led the undead army not only did not have the slightest worry, but seemed to finally untie the knot in his heart and let go of some restraints. Like that, smiling softly.
"Young man, you can see it."
He said calmly in a low voice: "Yes, I am the core of all this. Only by causing harm to me can I weaken my army and the God of War. However, even if you kill me, it will only cause me to be wasted." The origins of several undead soldiers were resurrected.”
Then, the general actually said in an inexplicable tone, as if with some expectation: "And how many times can you kill me?"
"a lot of."
Joshua didn't want to talk nonsense. He held the spear tightly in his hand again: "Until you die."
The next moment, he was like a ferocious supersonic eagle owl, carrying a heat wave that blurred the atmosphere, and headed towards Arman, who was standing behind the phantom of the military god who had rearranged his array. Swoop away.
This momentum does not look like he is being blocked by thousands of troops, but rather like he is encircling and suppressing these thousands of troops.
The undead soldiers raised their long swords, straight knives, and even light crossbows and heavy crossbows, and kept attacking the rapidly charging warriors, but Joshua, who already knew that it was meaningless to deal with them, would not waste any more effort. Wielding the spear at will, the sharp front edge of the dragon-hunting sword gun brought up a series of arc-light air blades, cutting a large area of undead warriors into two pieces, and the terrifying misty wind swept them away, revealing a straight path. Arman's road.
But it could sweep away the undead soldiers, but it could not avoid the phantom of the military god. The huge skeleton military god silently waved the giant hammer in his hand. The ice-like resentment struck earlier than the indestructible hammer blow, but it was enough to make the final blow come true. The invasion of the brave warrior's blood-frozen resentment could not even slow down Joshua's speed. Instead, he saw a flaw and hit the wrist bone holding the bone-crushing hammer with one shot. Falling to the ground, he lost the ability to continue attacking the warriors.
How could Joshua, who was going all out, be stopped by a mere undead soldier or the phantom of the military god? He had just planned to kill the troublesome giant energy body first, and then mow down the numerous skeleton soldiers, so that after killing Arman, the soldiers who had lost their command would scatter everywhere and it would be too troublesome to kill them one by one.
Therefore, in an instant, the warrior with all his strength had arrived in front of General Longkai, and then stabbed the spear in his hand straight out.
But even this sword and gun, which broke through ten times the speed of sound and could easily penetrate even mountains, was easily held up by the long sword in Arman's hand.
"You seem to think you've got me."
At this moment, the phantom of the Army God dimmed instantly, and the countless undead armies also stopped moving. They were completely different from their previous weak appearance. They actually showed a general with strength that could rival Joshua. He faced the soldier and said softly: "But you I still don’t understand... I am them, they are me, whether it is life or strength."
"All the strength of the army belongs to me."
Singing a poetic incantation, Arman waved his arms to push the warrior in front of him away, and the two began to confront each other again.
This long sword is not an ordinary straight cross sword. The slightly primitive sharp blade is slightly curved. It is more suitable for cutting than stabbing. The dim but dangerous light shines on the sword body, giving it a strange beauty. , even Joshua must admit that this long sword is indeed a beautiful work of art.
But no matter how exquisite a work of art is, it cannot be called beautiful when it is chopped towards his head. I saw red light flashing in the gap of Arman's helmet. The general took a big step forward, revealing With amazing martial arts skills, the ancient long sword was swung into a ball of changing light and shadow. The vacuum was torn apart, and the aftermath swept towards Joshua like a hurricane. The real attack was concealed in the hurricane of light and shadow, waiting to tear apart the enemy. body moment.
This is a simple swordsmanship derived from the killing formation on the battlefield. The moves are aimed directly at the vital point, and the sword does not leave the heart, mouth and neck.
But Joshua was not at a disadvantage. He held the gun with one hand, and the huge gun body rotated, as if it had turned into an unbreakable barrier. He accurately withstood Arman's lightning-like slash, and his left hand came together like a Knife, Kong swung out sharp air blades and slashed rapidly towards Arman.
"Yes, I originally thought you were only as good as you were at the beginning."
The soldier grinned: "Fortunately that's not the case, otherwise it would be so boring!"
The weapons of the two men faced each other, exploding large swaths of sparks, and the air was torn into vacuum cracks. The atmosphere that conducted light and sound was distorted by the aftermath of their power, so that those outside the center of the battle could only see a cloud of gray. The violent red air flow.
This kind of close-to-hand combat with weapons is the most dangerous. In just a fraction of a second, more than a dozen large wounds appeared on Joshua's neck and chest. The soldier's neck artery had been cut. These The wound was blocked by fighting spirit, so no blood flowed out, and there were more than ten large holes in Arman's body, which were caused by the dragon-hunting sword and gun.
"The key point of the secret skill of Lord of All Arms is to share life and power with the contracted army. When I was alive, I could only achieve 'power exchange', but after I recovered, I was able to reach it because of the characteristics of the heroic spirit." The realm of life interconnection."
Holding the sword with ten fingers, he blocked Joshua's spear point sweep that broke the vacuum. The Dragon Armor General was pushed back dozens of meters by this huge force before he could barely stop his attack. However, at this time, the soldiers had already arrived first. , piercing forward close to the body. In this rapid battle rhythm, there is no time to launch anti-gravity charges and spiral spears that exceed fifty times the speed of sound, while the extremely thin shadow of the military god and countless undead soldiers There is no way to swing the giant hammer and shoot arrows to sneak attack the warriors.
But in the middle of such a fierce and dangerous battle, Arman still did not stop talking. He turned his body slightly to avoid the direct attack of the spear, and then turned back and slashed out with his sword: "However, as long as we attack the Holy Tomb according to the plan, we will Then I can be resurrected in the ceremony held by the Commander-in-Chief, and completely restore my previous strength. At that time, with a complete body and a higher realm, I should be even stronger than before."
The tip of the gun shook, and he used great force to knock away the sharp blade in the opponent's hand. The two fought for more than a hundred rounds. During this time, Joshua was fighting while listening to Arman's intermittent words, but the more he listened, the more something was wrong. From Arman's mouth, the warrior actually learned a lot of new important information - such as the plan to breach the Holy Tomb, the resurrection ceremony, the approximate identities of a total of seven undead commanders, and the possibility of restoring all the strength before death.
Could it be said that the other party is not using all his strength now
Why did he reveal so many secrets? !
Too lazy to think too much, he focused on fighting and analysis. After a long struggle, the warrior finally found an opportunity. He stretched out his left hand and used his metacarpal bone as a shield to temporarily block Arman's long sword. Then he shot out the streamer, directly It penetrated Arman's helmet skull and extinguished the red soul fire burning in the opponent's eye sockets.
But this was of no use. Within a fraction of a second, as several undead in the undead army not far away were wiped out, General Dragon Armor revived again and swung his sword like thunder towards Joshua.
But the soldier dodged as if he had expected it, and then stabbed straight through the opponent's skull.
Hundreds of rounds of back and forth fighting finally came to an end.
"I've seen through all your moves, undead."
Withdrawing his spear, he whispered: "If your skills stop here, then just wait and sleep."
(I made a joke, and by the way, I highly recommend Gunda’s "The Ultimate Demon". Gunda has always been my idol!)
