Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 479: Sanctuary and guidance

Views:

With the strength of Joshua and Akhar, it is not difficult to fight continuously for ten days and ten nights. There are countless tiny life energy structures similar to high-energy engines in the warrior's body, which can spontaneously absorb all the free energy around them, and the knight can also rely on the stars on the earth under his feet. The power and energy reserves are endless.

After reaching their state, coupled with the powerful self-healing ability, they can attack and defend each other with the same frequency of fighting as before. Even if it takes a few days or months, they will not be able to tell the winner.

Now, both sides are evenly matched, and neither can do anything to defeat the other. However, both of them are constantly improving during the battle, exploring each other's moves and rhythms. In this regard, with Joshua's analysis speed and skills, he can predict I can completely see through Akhar's energy movement patterns and combat rhythm after 13,700 moves, and suppress him after 5,000 moves, as long as the Death Shadow Knight doesn't have any on-the-spot breakthroughs or hidden secrets. The trump card, then the outcome of this battle can be said to be decided.

However, apart from the fact that Akhar is definitely not at this level, how can the entire world of Grandia find time for him to continue fighting

At the end of the plain, on the Gaitar Plateau, above the sky where the former imperial capital of the Ulan Empire was located, five huge black light pillars penetrated the sky and the earth. There were huge swirling black clouds rotating, and purple thunder flashed among them, exuding a command. The ominous aura that suffocates people, and Joshua doesn't need to think about it to know that it is Akhar's method of triggering drastic changes in the world and bringing about the end of the world.

Get rid of him as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, using the right side of his body as a bait, the warrior was still hit by the enemy, then he held his left fist, closed his arm, and violently swung it out as if he was trying to push an asteroid!

Boom!

An ordinary straight punch caused a vacuum within hundreds of meters. At this moment, the warrior's full strength and energy were gathered together and the punch hit Akhar's chest without any tricks. You can see the knight's eyes suddenly widen and bulge, the eye sockets burst, the flesh and blood on the chest and back exploded and annihilated, and the long spear in his hand that was like a galaxy was completely released. The whole person was like a rocket launched at full speed, and the force was increased more than ten times. Flying backwards at the speed of sound!

And behind him, the dust, black clouds and shrill cold wind floating on the plain were all directly dispersed and driven away by this penetrating punch. You can even see a wide line appearing out of thin air in the sky. Here, the long track extends to the end of the field of vision!

The power of this heavy punch is powerful enough to disintegrate mountain peaks into dust, which is stronger than a million tons of meteorites falling from the sky. If it bombards the earth, it will undoubtedly turn most of the plain into a sea of roiling lava, but this time Shi Akhar took this blow with his own heart!

pain!

Extremely painful!

It broke our hearts! The pain is so intense that it hurts my lungs and my bones!

The extremely tough body seemed to be broken at the waist, and the lungs, heart, esophagus and many internal organs were all turned into coke. The knight was injured more seriously than Joshua! The extreme pain spread throughout his body, but it was completely unable to affect Akhar's thoughts. The inheritor of the Star Saint could even think calmly while being knocked away.

Yes, it was indeed a very powerful blow, but it couldn't be as painful as when he drank the wine mixed with the poison of the hundred-headed snake! In order to prevent Joshua from taking advantage of the situation to pursue him, Akhar braced himself, and while flying backwards quickly, he barely opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the warrior, then stretched out his remaining right hand and gave it a heavy handshake.

Immediately, you can see circles of star-like ripples of light erupting from the knight's body. The silver glow shines in the atmosphere, sparkling like flowing water, and the space is also affected by this fluctuation, like invisible water flow. It twisted, and Joshua, who endured serious injuries and wanted to pursue, was blocked by the layers of twisted space and had to stop his pursuit.

Those who control gravity can distort time and space within a limited range. Under Akhar's full control, the short distance of several kilometers between him and Joshua instantly turned into a chaotic time and space with countless traps, including There are thousands of special areas with huge differences in gravity. If ordinary people enter by mistake, they will be pulled and divided into countless scattered fragments of flesh and blood within seconds.

If it was Joshua in his prime, he could have considered breaking through directly, but at this time the warrior's right hand and most of his chest were beaten into powder, and there was no way he could cross such a dangerous barrier in this state. Akhar also couldn't. At this time, he fell to the ground and was blasted deep into the earth's crust by Joshua's fist. He took this opportunity to quickly activate the power of the original crystal magic energy in his body to regenerate himself at a high speed.

I saw the surrounding earth and rocks squirming rapidly, and countless primitive crystal magic energy hidden under the earth were absorbed by Akhar, causing the earth within a few miles to collapse by nearly ten meters. In the next moment, the wound on the chest was roughly healed with pure The filled and repaired knight quickly broke through the soil and flew out of the pit angrily, but the scene in front of him made him so shocked that he forgot to fight back.

Because a huge six-armed Titan standing tall with his head higher than the clouds was stretching out his sky-covering giant hands that seemed to be made of steel and pressing down on his head!

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Continuous dull explosions sounded around the giant hand. All space barriers and gravitational traps within a few kilometers were completely crushed by the purest and most powerful force. Akhar, who had just flown out of the soil, was caught off guard. , and a moment later, he was directly pushed back into the earth and rocks by this giant hand, and was crushed by the way.

At this time, Joshua was located in the center of the giant in the fighting steel armor. With a serious look on his face, he controlled the life energy giant and launched another pile driver-like attack at the area where the knight was pressed. The six-armed giant The frequency of a single attack is not very fast, but it has six arms. Under the continuous bombardment, white air waves sweep across the sky and earth, and waves of mud rush towards more than ten kilometers away. The entire desolate plain is like a magnitude 9 earthquake. A generally violent tremor.

If this is a pile driver, then it must be the strongest and most powerful pile driver in the world!

The warrior's right arm and chest, which had been completely beaten to pieces, were being filled and repaired by masses of pure life energy pouring out of his body. The massive life energy contained in the Azure Orb had long since been transformed into the body of a titan. Integrated into the body, this is the time to work.

Whether it is the breathing method and meditation method of Mycroft continent, or the method of absorbing the power of the original crystal magic energy in the world of Grandia and developing the spiritual power of one's own brain, in the eyes of the warrior, it is a kind of nourishment and change. To sublimate one's own life essence, for example, if all living beings are an 'egg' that doesn't know what can be born before they practice practice, then different practice methods are to transform this 'egg' bit by bit. 'The egg liquid in it is transformed into the ideal powerful form.

Sensing, contacting energy, exercising, using energy, developing your own power, reaching the limit that this 'egg' can reach, this is the realm of black iron, silver, gold and ultimate intention. The legend is a complete sublimation and transformation, as if after countless trials and nurturing, the mind in the egg finally realized what is its most perfect and powerful form, so it took the initiative to Break the eggshell and emerge like a butterfly from its chrysalis!

Boom boom boom boom boom! ! ! ! ! !

Imitating the power of Urbandeni's Chongshan Titan, the six-armed giant at this time is completely different from when he wrestled with Herras. Six completely different terrifying powers flow on the giant's six arms - high temperature , impact, concussion, cutting, crushing and explosion. Every punch swung out ruthlessly ravaged the ground where Akhar was. The originally ordinary soil had been blasted into pieces under the impact of completely different attributes. Pieces of basic particle dust flew dozens of kilometers away along with the roaring high-temperature hurricane.

In Joshua's body, the majestic life energy was pulsing like fire as he punched and bombarded again and again. The towering Titan raised his iron fist high, causing circles of dark red halo to appear out of thin air, surrounding him. The steel-like arm burst out with bright light, and the next moment, the iron fist struck down, a series of light circles buzzed in sequence, and the arc flashed, like an electromagnetic acceleration track, providing unparalleled impact to this punch!

Invulnerable to water and fire, King Kong is indestructible! Whether it was the thermal energy of the surrounding lava or the flashing thunder and lightning in the atmosphere, it was completely absorbed by the giant at this time and turned into his own use, becoming the nourishment for his own growth. But even with Joshua's almost endless physical strength, After firing hundreds of punches in succession, I felt that my body was completely empty, and I felt a rare feeling of tiredness!

"Ahhh!"

In a dazed moment, Akhar was struck by a thousand punches from the warrior. At this time, in the center of the earth's crust that had turned into a lava pit, the knight who finally came to his senses couldn't help but let out an angry roar and grabbed the warrior to interrupt. In the brief moment when he regained his breath, he gritted his teeth, pulled his shattered body, raised his hands, and withstood the warrior's blow. The next moment, a huge repulsive force was like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, heading towards Spreading away in all directions without distinction!

call! Boom!

One thousandth of a second! Everything within a radius of several thousand meters was completely evacuated. Whether it was lava, soil, dust, sand or the giant iron fist incarnated by Joshua, they were all pushed out by the majestic and unreasonable force of the sea. A huge vacuum circle appeared in the center of the desolate plain. If you look down from the sky, you can see a 'vacuum gem' made of stardust embedded in the center of the gray-black plain, with golden lava and black radiation. The cracks and the huge steel giant are just embellishments.

The next moment, the displaced air turned into a huge shock wave, completely submerging everything. Its speed was even several times faster than the sound. The undead troops in the distance were blown away like dust, and it took a few seconds to hear the sound in the distance. The crazy roar of super thunder.

The six-armed giant was naturally not blown away, but Joshua was held in place by an unparalleled pressure that was like a god! At this moment, the warrior felt as if a pulling force from the black hole was pulling him down, forcing him to lie on the ground. The terrifying gravitational changes caused the almost weightless giant of life energy to press out thick and wide black cracks in the earth!

Akhar's broken body floated in the air. Since everything around him had turned into a vacuum without any material existence, there was no sound whether it was the tsunami and the air waves that submerged everything or the six-armed giant crushing the earth. It was like an ancient pantomime. Normally, the seriously injured knight looked at Joshua with extremely serious, serious and even respectful eyes, while the warrior also controlled the giant's head to 'look into the eyes' of this rare opponent.

—Sanctuary, legendary power!

There is no doubt that whether it is the terrifying power that repels everything before or the current gravity constraint of unknown times, it has transcended the extreme will. The limit of the heavenly realm is truly extraordinary beyond human imagination. Power! It is the power of legend!

"That's right, it's the Holy Land."

As if he knew what the warrior was thinking, Akhar did not hide anything. He used telepathy to communicate directly with Joshua. This body had been transformed by the six-armed giant transformed into a warrior hundreds of times under the continuous bombardment. The extremely damaged knight simply told the truth: "I can't defeat you at the same level."

Akahar's body was rapidly disintegrating at this time - not the dissipation of death, but transforming into a more mysterious form. With Joshua's extraordinary vision, he could vaguely see that a piece of time and space in front of him was being distorted. , and a hazy human figure took shape rapidly at the same time. There is no doubt that the eggshell belonging to the knight has been broken. Akhar, who no longer suppresses his strength at the peak of the heavenly realm, naturally breaks out and becomes A life form that is more powerful, more perfect, and closer to the essence of his power!

A human figure made entirely of gravitational waves appeared in the center of this vacuum space. It—him, the strong man of the Sanctuary, Akhar, raised his hand, and the huge figure with an erect height of more than 600 meters was raised. The six-armed giant suddenly felt that the gravity was upside down, and the huge gravity pulled it upward into the sky.

"In fact, you have defeated me, warrior."

At this time, Akhar, who did not know the other party's name, said seriously that his invisible body began to slowly self-destruct the moment it was formed. The original power of the Grandia world was full of the danger of ending. Dead Silence is a power of destruction that is no less than that of Void Chaos. It locks the power realm in the entire world at the peak of the Heaven Realm. Anyone who wants to break through or exert the power of the Holy Realm must pay. The price of life cannot be ignored even if the knight is originally undead.

The undead knight, who had just returned to his full strength and was about to face death, did not have the slightest fear. He said in a very calm tone, even with a hint of smile: "But the battle is not always fair and just."

"Experience the power of the sanctuary!"

His palms were slowly brought together, and the hazy starlight filled the sky and the earth again. Akhar seemed to be just planning to put his palms together, but Joshua sensed that there was a powerful and huge force, as big as a real star. The source of gravity appeared around him, endless, as if the force that wanted to swallow up the sky and the earth was rushing in from all directions crazily, as if it wanted to compress, flatten him, and crush him into a basic particle invisible to the naked eye!

It felt like I had incarnated into a primordial singularity, a black hole in the void, and the most terrifying and irresistible side of gravity appeared in my body. In just a moment, the 700-meter-tall giant of life energy was pulled by this huge force. It collapsed and compressed into a form less than three meters long!

Countless delicate energy structures exploded during the collapse process. The terrifying impact force could not escape the body surface, but could only vibrate back and forth in the warrior's body, causing multiple injuries.

"Hahaha! It's really exciting!"

But at this moment, Joshua didn't feel the slightest bit angry that the other party suddenly used his legendary power - that's how fighting should be. The enemy has strength beyond yours, why not let the other party use it? As a warrior, you should clearly understand that this is an unavoidable point. What's more, the warrior is not only not angry now, but is so happy and excited that he laughs out loud!

Joshua realized that this was truly legendary power! The legendary power that truly takes action on yourself! Different from the power of the old Pope Eagle who wiped out tens of thousands of mad dragons in an instant in the battle of the Holy Mountain, different from the power of Israel that was just for discussion, and different from the power of the natural teacher who only wanted to save people and help, at this time Ah's power was different. There is no doubt that Kehar, in the most serious, sincere, and least suspenseful manner, launched a blow with murderous intent at himself!

This is it! The power that I have been looking forward to for a long time and want to experience!

In the invisible cage formed by gravity, a silver-gray cold light like steel was flowing all over the body. The six-armed giant, which was still slowly shrinking, stretched its arms with great effort. Every move was so heavy that it seemed like it was pushing away a building. On the thousand-meter-high mountain peak, Joshua seemed to be breaking free from his shackles at this moment, and the next moment, the four extra arms merged into the normal pair of arms. This was not the oppression of Akhar's power, but the spontaneous movement of the warrior. The power to adjust and focus!

Moreover, who said that the power of legend is invincible? !

Divine lines spread across Joshua's body, releasing a dark light as red as blood as the warrior laughed wildly.

Who said he would die or be defeated? Couldn't he break the blockade of this gravitational field and blast through this legendary power head-on? !

With his fingers spread out and his fists closed, under the pressure of gravity tens of thousands of times, the warrior made the most formal and impeccable fighting posture. At this time, the life energy giant had been completely pressed back to Joshua. Inside the body, one can see that the veins and muscles on the surface of his two arms, which are like steel bars, are squirming, stretching and contracting hard, accumulating the most violent and uncontrollable power!

Then, he raised his fists towards the sky!

Boom!

There was a sound like the earth was shattering, and the air flow blew wildly. The warrior's arm shattered into blood flowers all over the sky at the moment he swung it out, and the blood flowers also exploded layer by layer, causing the surrounding area to be shrouded in blood mist, and terrifying scarlet air waves spread out in dozens of directions. Sweeping across the surrounding land at twice the speed of sound, the plains that could still be discerned were disintegrated into dust by such terrifying power at this moment, and then were picked up by the majestic and brutal hurricane, sweeping away in all directions!

And after all the dust has settled and all the aftermath is over.

A huge sandstorm slowly formed around the desolate plain and swept into the distance.

And with this huge storm as the background, in the sky, the slowly disintegrating gravitational wave humanoid looked at the tired and dying warrior from a distance.

The flesh and blood on the warrior's hands had been completely shattered, leaving only white bones. Only those bones with divinity had not exploded, but even so, there were many tiny cracks on them, as if they would be completely shattered in the next moment. .

"Extraordinary power can determine the fate of the world."

In mid-air, Akhar said softly: "The direction of the entire civilization is determined by existences like you and me."

When he said this, most of his body had collapsed. The old knight looked very satisfied. He smiled and nodded: "So you should be cautious, reverent, and cautious, because if you are not careful, all living beings will go astray."

Staring at Joshua, as if he wanted to keep the image of a warrior in mind, he couldn't help but sigh: "Unknown warrior, you are the inheritor of the sages. Your strength and talent are unquestionable, but you can really lead Mike Will the sentient beings of Rolf Continent move forward towards the right future?”

Can you really use the sacrifices of our world to reignite the flame and move towards the light

This is what the knight who inherited the wish of his teacher, the Star Saint, did not say.

After Joshua calmed down the energy turbulence in his body, he opened his eyes.

"Who knows what will happen in the future."

The soldier didn't hesitate at all, and said in a tone as firm as stone: "But I dare to make a choice."

The human form transformed by the light of the stars was silent for a long time, and then quietly disappeared into the invisible.

Only one voice remained.

"Then I leave it to you, warrior."

In mid-air, the light of stars condensed, pointing to the end of the plain, above the Gaitar Plateau, where there were black clouds like whirlpools, five, no, now four huge light pillars reaching the sky and the earth, causing purple lightning. Across the sky.

That is the light of guidance,

Pointing to the place where everything begins and ends.

Will modify it later
