"How interesting, it's actually a living thing?"
After hearing that the light ball actually made a 'ding' sound in response to his question, not only Barnier, but also William, who was fine-tuning the coordinates of the transmission channel, also turned his head curiously and looked at it with interest for a while. Joshua held the off-white gentle ball of light in his hand, and then said: "There is such a specialty in the Blood Moon Abyss. I have never heard of it before."
"Joshua, where did you pick it up?"
"Heaven."
Joshua was concise and to the point. He would never deceive others. Since these two somewhat obscure mages asked, he would answer. However, the warrior could now be sure that neither Barnier nor William would be able to discover the blood moon. The source of mutation.
Lowering his head and holding down the excited ball of light in his arms, which was trying to escape from the grasp of his arms, Joshua once again looked seriously at this wonderful spherical life - its diameter is forty-three centimeters. , the weight is about nothing, and the whole body exudes a light beige glow. This light ball has no entity, and its inner layer is filled with light that surges like a vortex. But if you touch it with your hands, you will feel a repulsive force and a heat of thirty degrees, which makes it accessible to ordinary people.
At first glance, except for the inner vortex core, the structure of the light ball is extremely simple and does not look like an intelligent life at all. It is precisely because of this that the two old mages expressed curiosity about it.
"I don't know if it's good or bad to bring you back to Mycroft's continent."
With this thought in his mind, Joshua couldn't help but sigh slightly as he recalled the scene not long ago.
At the very center of the blood moon, faced with the huge light being's request to follow him, Joshua chose to refuse. His reason is simple. First of all, the life of light is the blood moon's renewed light, which is the only core and the only possibility to save the world. If he takes it away, it will be equivalent to destroying the future of the world. Regardless of emotion or reason, Joshua will not He would allow this kind of thing to happen. He was the King of Burning Souls who inherited the will of the sages. How could he do such a thing
Secondly, he couldn't take it away at all.
Regarding the size of the life of light, Joshua made a rough estimate. Its diameter is about 12 kilometers, which shows that the opponent's body is almost the star core of the blood moon. The surface of the star core has a high temperature of nearly 5,000 degrees. , and the temperature is still rising, causing it to gradually transform from a planet to a miniature star. This process takes about thousands of years. If a large number of molten stars are invested, the speed will be accelerated. But no matter what, even if Barnier and William have the magic power to destroy mountains and burn the sea, they can't stuff this hot star core, which is bigger than a mountain, into the space-time channel. Even gods can't do it.
Faced with Joshua's repeated rejections, the life of light did not give up. After a long pause, it made a move that surprised the warrior - streams of light were seen rushing and entangled, merging into a huge The white cocoon of light, the majestic surge of energy like the sea, caused the cocoon of light to rapidly transform. Until finally, the huge cocoon shell cracked, and a tiny ball of light jumped out of the crack, and then jumped into Joshua's arms.
That is the ball of light that he is holding in his hand now, and it is also a 'sub-strain' that the life of light split from itself.
After the self-splitting, the giant light life as its main body became much quieter. Although the act of splitting the self did not cause much harm to it, it still inevitably made it tired. In addition, it was not born until it was born. How long, now is the moment when it needs to accumulate strength, so it slowly sneaks into the star core and falls into silence.
This is why Joshua doesn't mind Barnier and William exploring. For at least ten years, no one will be able to find traces of the life of light that has fallen into silence in the blood moon. At most, they will find that the entire blood moon is gradually becoming solarized.
"I'm curious, but time is running out."
The two old mages were indeed extremely curious about the light ball. With the power of legendary experts, they could tell that it was a positive energy element. Its life form was very similar to that of ordinary light elements, but its internal core was much more complicated. times, and it is well hidden. If you don't pay special attention, even Barnier, who is proficient in summoning elements and runes, would have a hard time seeing the difference between it and the light element.
If this kind of life appeared in the boundless heaven or a certain light element plane, then Barnier would never be as curious as he is now - but this is the Blood Moon Abyss! A broken world that has always been known for death, silence and emptiness, a broken world where even demons cannot survive! A complex light elemental creature appeared here, and the old mage felt that his curious soul was burning.
Unfortunately, as he said, time is running out. Although the cross-border teleportation circle that had been prepared long ago delayed the tracking of the abyss lord Goliath and the five-color dragon god's clone, something went wrong after all. The Sixth Abyss is actually not far from the Blood Moon Abyss. If Goliath If Ya discovers that they have not returned to the Mycroft Continent, they will soon face the pursuit of two god-level powerhouses again. This time, there was no way to slip away so easily.
"The portal has been opened."
On the other side, the legendary bard William had completely tested and verified all the time and space data. He nodded with satisfaction and said to himself relaxedly: "I said no one can beat me in teleportation. , the previous transmission error is definitely not my fault!”
After a pause, he added: "Not counting that guy Nostradamus."
In fact, this is indeed the case. If Nostradamus had not achieved legend with time and space magic, he and Barnier could be said to be the first people in this field.
As a former bard and now an archmage, William is best at manipulating the minds of others and twisting the souls of his enemies. He can deprive and control an army's five senses in an instant, and then make them turn against each other and attack in turn. His own allies, but other than that, this man with the motto of 'be cautious' is most proficient in various long and short distance teleportation spells. When he cooperates with Barnier, the two of them can even communicate in a short period of time. Launch [region fixed point teleportation] across most of the continent within a thousandth of a second.
Of course, it's not just the mainland now. From what Joshua has seen before, he already knows that these two people's understanding of time and space has reached its peak, and they can cross the barrier between worlds in an instant. In a sense, Wisdom and truth did appear in that moment.
But immediately, the warrior's attention turned to the other side. On the ground not far away, the black dragon girl was touching the horns on her head with one hand and pressing her waist with the other. She sat up with a painful look on her face. , she noticed Joshua's arrival, and then immediately started to read: "Master, I still feel a little pain in my waist..."
"You need to get some exercise."
After responding casually, Joshua held the ball of light and walked to Hei's side. He squatted down, then reached out and touched the black dragon girl's waist and halved it. The torn muscles felt the pain caused by the external force. For a moment, Hei let out another cry of pain. In response, the warrior shook his head. Shaking his head: "Based on Gu Long's bloodline, this kind of muscle tear injury should have healed by itself long ago... You may have been injured too little, and your ability in this area has not been stimulated."
She shivered subconsciously, and Hei looked at the master in front of her with some fear, who seemed to be very gentle massaging her to relieve muscle soreness. She felt that a dark will was spreading from Joshua's body, and sure enough, in After pondering for a moment, the warrior spoke cruel words in a seemingly gentle tone: "After returning to the territory, I will arrange for Sukrash to design a special training for you - start with running around Moldavia twenty times. Start the lap and work out until you’re exhausted.”
"Be mentally prepared." As he spoke, Joshua stood up. He smiled and nodded: "That won't be easy."
Although Hei's injury this time was entirely caused by his own too fast speed, the warrior actually understood that this happened because the strength of the people around him had gradually failed to keep up with his improvement in strength. Whether it is Hei, Hotaru and Rin, or Archbishop Artanis and Brandon, among the familiar people, only Israel, Nostradamus and Pope Eagle have more than Or a power equal to his, and there are only ten such people in the entire Mycroft Continent.
This is the most normal thing. He has a system, azure orbs, the best fighting channels and the best inheritance. Joshua knows that it is normal to be unable to keep up with him. No one in this world has better conditions than him. But even so, he didn't expect that one day he would have to face an incoming powerful enemy alone.
"Grow up quickly." To Hei who seemed to be shocked by the heavy task and couldn't speak, Joshua said softly: "I hope that one day, you can fight with me, instead of like now, when I take action, You’re leaving.”
"...I will train well, Master!"
Regarding the warrior's sigh-like emotion, the black dragon girl trembled all over after hearing it. Many complicated and unspeakable emotions flashed through Hei's heart at this moment, including shame, unwillingness, confusion and helplessness, but immediately, she My heart immediately became firm.
"I will work hard!"
Joshua was very pleased with the Black Dragon Girl's decisive response. He knew that Black's age was just that of a child to normal humans. Whether it was fighting or taking risks, they were just fun games for her. This was actually not wrong. The power brought by the ancient dragon bloodline can provide support for this relaxed mentality, but if you want to keep up with your own pace, this awareness is far from enough.
"Get up, get ready to go back to Mycroft Continent." He said: "If you still feel a little pain, then I will hug you..."
"Dingling bell~"
Before Joshua could finish speaking, the ball of light in his arms suddenly made a tinkling wind chime sound, and then, a gentle light shone on the inexplicable black figure.
"This feeling?!"
Immediately, Hei felt a warm breath wrap around him. The warm feeling was as if he was soaked in warm water. His whole body was really indescribably comfortable, but this comfort did not last long, because immediately after What came was a sharp pain, which penetrated deep into the bone marrow. For a moment, Hei almost fainted without rolling his eyes. But soon, the girl noticed that the countless broken muscle fibers in her body began to repair themselves rapidly.
Under the illumination of the light, Hei's internal injuries recovered so quickly that even Joshua was a little surprised. In just a few seconds, the black dragon girl stood up normally, and then began to move her arms in surprise - no doubt , she completely recovered.
"I actually still have this ability... That's right, the main body also restored energy for me before."
Looking down at the ball of light in his arms that had stopped emitting light, Joshua murmured to himself: "It seems that the amount of training arranged for Hei can be increased."
At the same time, the light ball made a "dinging" sound again. It seemed to be trying to get out of the warrior's arms, but was unable to succeed. Joshua thought about it and simply let go of the light ball. After being freed from the restraints, the ball of light immediately let out a series of crisp chirps in excitement, and then spun around in the air a few times before slowly falling towards Hei's head.
Staring at the ball of light that had cured her, Black would certainly not be wary of it. Facing this erratic beige existence, she waited curiously for the other party's actions. Then, after a while, the girl I felt a warm and soft touch appear on the top of my head.
In this regard, Joshua suppressed his laughter - from his perspective, the ball of light landed on the top of Hei's head, and then got stuck between the two horns of the black dragon girl. This scene is difficult to describe, But it is undeniable that it is very joyful. The ball of light seemed to be satisfied with the current situation. It moved its position and then stayed peacefully on top of Hei's head. It no longer struggled like it did before in the warrior's arms.
Hit the ball.
Without saying this emotion, Joshua shook his head. After he motioned for Hei to follow him, he turned and walked towards the two legendary mages who had opened the time and space channel. Behind him, Hei was hurriedly While following his master, he was also careful not to let the ball of light on his head fall.
There is nothing to say next. Both the two legendary mages and Joshua and his team are very familiar with time and space teleportation. After Barnier first entered the time and space channel and started teleportation, Joshua also brought the black and light balls. Together they entered the blue door.
—There shouldn’t be any accidents this time, right
Such thoughts could not help but flash through his mind, and Joshua sighed silently. He always had a subtle premonition that he would never be able to return to Mycroft Continent so simply.
And this is exactly what happened. Just when the black and light balls followed Joshua into the door of time and space, and were about to teleport back to Mycroft with the warriors, there was a burst of silver-white, steel-like pure light flashing, and in the black dragon In the girl's field of vision, the figure of the warrior suddenly disappeared.
An accident happened.
