What kind of person is Joshua to his friends and companions
There may be thousands of different answers to the question, but there is no doubt that all of them have one thing in common, and that is reassurance.
Whether it is the resentful muttering of the weapon or the slightly fearful praise of the people, behind the superficial complaints is unparalleled peace of mind. Joshua's existence is like a high mountain. As long as it is If you exist, you don’t have to worry about the coming storm. He seems to be aloof, but he is actually full of warmth. In Moldavia, no one can hear any gossip about the lord. This is not only because of the lord’s own strength, but also because of his There really isn't anything that can be discredited.
As a friend and comrade-in-arms, it goes without saying that Joshua is reliable. He upholds order, sticks to his duties, and never makes promises lightly, but he will always keep his word. It is indeed the most reassuring thing to have such a person fighting side by side.
So, what kind of existence is Joshua to the enemy
There's only one word to describe it: monster.
Stubbornly straightening his body, Helm did not retreat or curl up. He looked up at the unharmed steel giant in the sky, with lines of light shining like runes on his body.
What other answers could there be? Anyone standing opposite the warrior will silently agree with this answer: a nearly indestructible body of steel, incredible power to move mountains, a regeneration speed comparable to undead monsters, normal attacks that can destroy cities and mountains... even in long-range combat. , Joshua can also use fist wind, nuclear flames and other means to attack, not to mention fighting him at close range, which is the worst option.
Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about the person who recently fought with him in close combat, Saluka. The Demon Lord is not a weakling. The Insect Demon, who is proficient in various transformations, has various forms and different fighting styles that make everyone feel troublesome. But even if it chooses to have a head-on confrontation with Joshua at close range, it can only be completely crushed. Pressure, even without the power to fight back - Saluka's ignited body is still falling towards the bottom of the invisible world in the Blood Moon Abyss. In just one fight, all its bones were broken and its body was completely twisted and deformed. .
But is Joshua really invincible? Helm doesn't think so. The Orochi Beholder is very sure of this. Even though its fighting style and attack methods are restrained by the warriors from beginning to end, it doesn't think that the Iron Giant is invincible.
Joshua has weaknesses and can be destroyed. The effectiveness of the attack of the Black Dragon King Ke'ano is proof of this. Saluka's surprise attack can also break through a layer of armor. Although the Iron Giant seems to be indestructible, in fact it is It can still be destroyed, and the mutual attacks between him and the Dragon King tore him and each other apart. This has exposed all the vulnerabilities of his body structure, and Helm has thoroughly memorized them.
But it's not strong enough.
The Iron Giant reacts quickly and quickly within short distances, but at medium and long distances, it is difficult to dodge due to its heavy weight. The fluctuations in gravity transmitted by the speed of light also make it difficult for him to make a surprise attack. Saluka's previous attack on Joshua was not intentional. Then he counterattacked, but he really couldn't get out of the way, so he launched a defensive counterattack... In terms of pure speed, the Giant did have a weakness.
But the demon is not strong enough.
At present, it seems that the warrior has no resistance to special types of attacks. He does have unparalleled adaptability to ordinary energy and physical attacks, but is the same true for special seals, curses and spiritual attacks? If you want to defeat such an invincible giant on the battlefield, you may not need to face the enemy head-on. You only need to retreat back to the abyss and plan a large-scale soul sacrifice curse to weaken the opponent and make it difficult for him to fight.
But Helm is not strong enough.
Yes, not strong enough.
Helm saw the fragile structure in Joshua's body. It analyzed that the warrior was not agile enough. It guessed that the Iron Giant was not resistant to certain special attacks... But so what? It simply cannot exploit these obvious flaws! The giant snake anxiously bites its sharp teeth. Compared to fighting one-on-one strong men, Helm is better at suppressing the entire world by itself. Its attack is enough to turn half of the continent into scorched earth, but it is not effective against certain strong men. But it was of no use.
It sees everything, but it cannot attack the opponent's weakness, cannot exploit the opponent's flaws, and has no chance to even try to attack from the enemy's weak point - because the warrior is face to face with it, Helm has no chance.
High in the sky, Joshua had almost finished dissipating heat. He began to walk towards the giant snake. The speed was not fast, but the pressure was comparable to that of the entire sky turning into a sea. He is moving forward and no one can stop him.
The blazing wind slapped the giant snake's body back and forth, causing the flashing energy patterns on the demon king's body to buzz. The blazing air flow surged around his side. Helm watched Joshua walking in the flames, and felt in his heart But it was cold. But in the end, the demon made up his mind, and the closed snake pupils on its body began to gradually open, and each snake pupils began to shine with a different light - dim, bright, hot, cold, and... Full of vitality, full of ignorance and dead silence... Millions of different lights began to surge around the giant snake, accelerating, making it seem to become an aggregate of light.
"I king Goliath, lord of the abyss."
Helm whispered in ancient demonic language, and the hot gas spitting out from the giant snake's throat ignited the surrounding atmosphere, and the billowing heat reverberated around.
"I am not afraid of fighting, life or death, and I am not afraid of pain and torture. I am willing to serve my clan without ever having peace, even if it means sinking into eternal disaster. I am only afraid of one thing: the hope of my clan will be cut off from my hand, and there will be no more hope. There’s no doubt about the future.”
Helm recalled the scene when he was defeated by Goliath. It was defeated neatly by the opponent, but it was not killed as usual in previous demon wars, but was left alive. The gluttonous demon, who was not a demon king at that time, did not even look at the defeated enemy, but what it said did not make the beholder angry, but instead made it willingly become the opponent's subordinate.
"The Sixth Abyss is too small, Helm. I want to conquer other worlds and take everything I want from their hands. Whether it is fire, souls or the hope of resurrecting the Sixth Abyss, I will not let it go."
"Keeping you alive is not because of my mercy. There are thousands of people in the world, and I can't personally take action every time. I need a subordinate who can charge into battle for me, and you are just the right person."
The former demon king stepped on the giant snake's head into the soil, and it stepped on Helm's head and said so. Goliath's tone was harsh, and his every move showed his contempt for Helm, but this was all for the winner in the demon battle. The loser had the natural right, but that sentence of hope made Helm, who was waiting for death in the dirt, slightly stunned.
hope? What a wonderful thing, what an incredible thing. When did the devil need this thing, and when could he have it? It's good that this stupid demon defeated itself, but does it really think it can revive the abyss? So stupid and so crazy.
Hey, interesting guy.
Above the sky, Joshua was still walking leisurely, and he could see that the joints of the Iron Giant were still a little red. Although Helm's Star Blaze did not cause obvious damage to the warrior, it did slow down his movements. , the Demon Lord discovered this, but it still couldn't find any possibility of defeating the opponent.
Yes, it has no chance. According to calculations, it does not even have a one-hundred-millionth chance of winning. Instead of expecting it to defeat the steel giant alone, it is better to expect the Black Dragon King to come back to life, Saluka to recover from his injuries, and the three of them. It's almost enough if people join forces to besiege.
However, not everything requires a 'chance' before you can act.
Joshua walked faster and faster, the influence of the Star Blaze on him became weaker and weaker, and the light all over Helm's body became brighter and brighter. Thousands of different types, different attributes, and different characteristics of energy were in the giant snake. gathered on his body, it suddenly spiraled into a huge circle - the demon king gave up his snake-like physical form, but completely transformed his legendary body into a simple ring-shaped energy structure, countless Light points of different colors began to move in the energy structure of the ring, and their speed kept accelerating. After a few seconds, they turned into streams of rapidly rotating light, turning Helm into an energy ring of uncertain light and darkness. , the space was shattered by this ring, and the fragments of the world shook and fell around it, like scattered colorful crystals.
There is nothing else to do.
The next moment, the stream of light transformed by Helm suddenly rose into the air and rushed towards Joshua in his surprised eyes. It had transformed into light and was a pure energy aggregate. Its speed was the speed of light. , nothing can stop it.
- Even if it is a losing battle, Helm still has to take the initiative to fight for an almost zero chance of victory.
This is the devil's 'stupidity' and 'madness'.
The halo formed by the Demon Lord rotated rapidly and moved forward at the speed of light. It shone with dazzling light, illuminating half of the Blood Moon Abyss. Countless colors merged into white at this time, but this white was not pure and warm. Instead of white, it was hot, chaotic, indescribable white. It rushed towards Joshua, as if it wanted to hit him head-on.
-It was almost successful. Everything happened in 16.67 microseconds. This is the time for light to cross five kilometers, which is the distance between Helm and Joshua. It is impossible for any living thing to react in such a short time. It's a sure hit.
But four hands stretched out, the silver light flashed gently, and an invisible barrier blocked the incoming halo and Joshua.
There was a burst of light, and the entire Blood Moon Abyss seemed to be illuminated. For a moment, the light released by the Blood Moon was blocked, but Helm was not shocked by this scene. It had not yet reacted - it was blocked.
The warrior stared at the halo formed by Helm in front of him. The time was too short and he did not understand what the other party planned to do. However, being able to let a legendary strong man give up his own form to launch an attack must not be underestimated, so Qiao Xiu Ya used the most careful defense to resist the opponent. The power of steel was condensed into countless crystals with absolutely smooth surfaces. No matter any light or energy entering the cloud-like barrier formed by such crystals would be refracted and deflected. It was completely impossible to cause any harm to him. harm.
The reason why he was able to react was not that the warrior's reaction speed exceeded the speed of light, but that he had been prepared. After losing to Pope Eagle in the sparring match, Joshua had been thinking about how to fight against this incarnation of light. Although he has not yet figured out how to deal with the incredible ability to change the speed of light, he has thought of corresponding countermeasures for all other ordinary attacks. Helm's Star Blaze happens to be among them, and the impact of this incarnation halo No exception.
The moment the opponent turned into a halo, Joshua immediately set up a defense without thinking. This was not an instinct, but a predetermined answer obtained from rich experience, and every move of the Demon Lord was noticed by him, just like now.
"Gorgeous."
With a low sigh of praise, for the sake of courage, Joshua had no intention of talking nonsense. Silver flames lit up on his arms and continued to accelerate, forming a terrifying chain saw light stream. The warrior admired Helm's decisive attack. , but he had no intention of understanding the other party's intention. Joshua condensed the power of steel and the mass wave that could shatter the mountains. He wanted to directly cut off the demon king's light flow body that was still accelerating, and destroy all the other party's hopes with It may be completely cut off.
But suddenly, at the bottom of the dark and silent abyss, dim stars lit up.
The Blood Moon Abyss is a destroyed world. Before it was destroyed, the entire continent was floating in the air. Even the fallen rocks would float in the sky and then be absorbed by other islands. Thousands of species and species thrived on one empty island after another. There are many different races and civilizations, but no matter what race or civilization they are, they all have great respect for the bottom of the world.
They said it was the end of all things, they said it was a bottomless abyss of darkness. No one had ever gone there, and no one knew whether it had an end. But now, a dim star rose rapidly from the abyss, It rises vertically, carrying a gray beam of light. This beam of light penetrates all the darkness, dyeing the dark and bleak world with a hint of color. It is like an extremely sharp sword, exuding incomparable momentum. At this moment , even Joshua couldn't help but be slightly distracted, but Helm did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack. Failure was one of them. It was actually attracted by the light spot.
The next moment, they all knew what the light spot was.
That is the demon Saluka, the insect demon king.
"Hiss-!!"
Rising rapidly, an inhuman roar emanated from his mouth. Saluka's body has almost completely regenerated. It has transformed into another smooth biological form. At this time, it is flying rapidly towards the top of the sky, and the sound is thrown away. Behind it, the air burned and burst into thunder. It was seriously injured, but it was not without the power to fight. The insect demon was eager to return to the battlefield.
The 'star' zoomed in rapidly, and it hit Joshua - it wasn't that the warrior couldn't react. At this time, he was wrestling with Helm with all his strength, so how could he allocate his strength to deal with Saluka? All this happened in a thousandth of a second. All you could see was that the continuously rotating stream of light finally broke through Joshua's barrier and hit the opponent's chest. The insect demon king who hit the warrior behind also mutated into The strange octopus-like shape tightly bound the four arms of the steel giant, preventing him from launching a counterattack.
One hundred thousandth of a second later.
A supernova lights up in the center of the Blood Moon Abyss.
There will be a chapter later.
I heard that there is a double monthly pass... (Explicitly stated)
