Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 94: Confrontation and mahogany rune box

Views:

Everything in front of him was white, and a cold feeling spread throughout his body. The translucent ice crystals were melted by the high heat on his body and turned into warm water vapor. Lying flat in the snow, Joshua took a deep breath. As expected, , he felt the strong chaotic magic power surging in it, trying to corrode his body.

This place has been completely eroded. If a few archbishop-level priests do not come to purify it, even if the time and space door is closed, the deep darkness will still be stationed here in the next few hundred years, slowly assimilating everything.

At this time, the warrior couldn't help but start to recall what [Chaos] was.

... In fact, there is nothing to think about. It is nothing more than the source of all disasters, whether in the past life or in this life, without exception.

Chaos will engulf everything illuminated by fire. It will blur existence, erase order, destroy civilization, and pollute wisdom. However, no life will allow such behavior. Joshua chose to fight Chaos not because of superficial factors such as feelings, but because of his duty as an intelligent being of order. This is an inevitable responsibility.

Although order and chaos are mutually exclusive, fire also needs it to burn, release the light of existence, and allow the source of the world to arise in the void. But no matter what, whether it is the invasion of the abyss, the erosion of the void, or the bewitchment of evil gods, or the arrival of strange demons - None of these events related to chaos are good, and each time they cause huge casualties.

This time the space-time gate incident is the same.

If Joshua didn't close it immediately and let the door of space and time be fully opened at this time, and the being behind it stretched out its tentacles, it would without hesitation be a disaster no less than the arrival of the demon lord's true form. That would be enough to be recorded in the annals of history. A big event that can only be solved by a legendary strong person.

Despite his desire to fight, Joshua doesn't want this kind of incident happening anywhere near his home.

Fortunately, the development of the situation has not yet reached such a serious point. Although the follow-up plan is a bit troublesome, in short, kill those monsters first and then think about more complicated issues.

boom!

The memory was completed in an instant. In fact, just a moment after being buried by the snow on the trees, there was a red light flashing in the snowdrift. The heat rose, and the fighting energy in Joshua's body rose and shrank, easily shaking off the snow piled on his body. He held the silver-white sword tightly in his right hand, stood up, and then spat, spitting out the traces of his heart. Congestion.

The seemingly fierce attack before did not cause the soldier to suffer fatal injuries.

"This monster is a little stronger than I thought."

Joshua looked at the giant beast in the distance that was also paying attention to this direction, waiting for an opportunity to attack. His expression became serious for the first time since he rushed into the black forest.

Insects are monsters that are hundreds of times larger than ordinary insects, and the demonic insects we encountered before are also one of them.

Their physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary black iron-level monsters, and can even be said to be crushing.

Although they are not smart enough to learn various techniques, with their pure physical strength, natural instincts and various innate spells, they are enough to be called a powerful race and thrive in this world full of strife.

Back in the far south, all the efforts of humans and elves were only able to barely suppress the wildly multiplying local zerg, and in the epic event [Natural Covenant], they signed a coexistence agreement with the Heart of the Swarm. A pledge of mutual benefit.

Relying on the physical body, you can compete with humans and elves who have almost entered the magic industrial age, which is enough to prove their terror.

However, there is a creature that can easily hunt and feed on insects of the same size or even several times larger than itself.

This kind of creature is a spider, a terrifying creature that looks like an insect but is not an insect.

This is even more true for the golden monster called Dragon Spider.

In the distance, a huge monster with a yellow-gray carapace stood still, with eight huge and somewhat crystallized legs preparing to charge. The wound on its lower abdomen that was made by Joshua with a lance continued to seep out a mixture of green and blue. Milky white mucus, the eight eyes on the head are shining with purple-blue light, and the ferocious mouthparts and fangs open and close, and colorless venom drips.

The dragon spider is a terrifying creature with the carapace of a giant crab, the magic resistance of a dragon, and the explosive power of a spider. It is terrifying in terms of defense, speed, and attack power. An ordinary gold-level warrior cannot resist it for ten rounds. , facing this kind of monster, at least a four-person elite team with a reasonable professional mix is needed to barely cope with it.

Even pure-blood dragons may not be as strong as it at the same level.

Touching the breastplate, Joshua was not surprised to find two huge holes.

Just now, when the dragon spider pounced from the ground and struck hard, his rich experience allowed him to know what the other party was going to do. Although he had many ways to dodge the blow, after thinking and judging, Joshua decided to confront the monster head-on.

Due to the difference in size, the result of this head-on confrontation was that the warrior was mercilessly knocked away. The giant spider's fangs also intended to pierce into his body and inject venom. However, blocked by the fighting spirit and armor, this The fierce bite was blocked by the steel armor breathing method, leaving not even a white mark.

Although he suffered some internal injuries, Joshua also stabbed the spear full of fighting spirit into the opponent's body at the same time. The two-meter-long steel lance entered without the handle, and the fighting spirit was inside the body. The explosion was definitely more serious than the damage caused to the dragon spider.

“…”

Without speaking, the warrior remained silent as he faced off against the giant spider, while countless monsters were swarming around him. This was the center of the black forest, not a arena for him to confront the dragon spider. It was the enemy's base camp, surging darkness. The grove where Joshua was surrounded was like a tide, and the roars and screams of the beasts were extremely noisy. However, even if these weak and roaring monsters lost their minds, they did not dare to take action against the warriors in front of them.

They are waiting.

And the dragon spider, which still retains a trace of wisdom, is hesitating.

As a gold-level monster with dragon blood flowing in its body, even if it encounters chaos erosion, its wisdom has not been completely lost, and it can still think about pros and cons. That's why this monster will change its previous violent nature after being severely damaged, and become cautious. Confronted with the black armored warrior.

As a bird-hunting spider and an insect-hunting spider that does not need to weave a web but relies purely on venom and ferocious attacks to catch prey, its spider silk and silk sac have long been transformed into magical organs that release binding magic during millions of years of evolution. Just now, it was this spider silk magic that was comparable to advanced human body-holding skills that firmly fixed Joshua in place, unable to move and could only withstand its attack.

But what I never expected was that the tin can in front of me was unexpectedly hard.

Dragon spiders have eaten people, many people, but whether they are wearing armor or not, using magic or not, most people only need to bite open their outermost shell to taste it. The tender raw meat inside... But the guy in front of me, even if he bites open the outer shell, the inside is still just as hard, or even harder.

When encountering something beyond common sense, ordinary beasts would give up hunting this powerful target and instead look for weaker prey, but it was different now... The power of chaos spread within its body, causing the dragon spider to be unable to tolerate Qiao Xiu. There were waves of order fluctuations coming from Ya's body, but his reason kept reminding him that fighting this human being was a very stupid act.

The battle between instinct and wisdom made the dragon spider more cautious, and the surrounding monsters were intimidated by the warrior's power and did not dare to move, which gave Joshua enough time.

"It turns out that when a magical girl and a Kamen Rider transform, no one will interrupt them."

Grasping the hole in the armor caused by the dragon spider's bite with his left hand, Joshua whispered to himself: "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

This is your choice.

A smile appeared on his face, and then his muscles contracted and his arms strengthened. The extremely hard enchanted armor was torn apart by Joshua like tissue paper, tearing out a crack. He put his hand into it and groped around his chest. After a while, he took out a box.

A box carved from mahogany with countless circulating runes all over it.

I recommend the book "Flags of the Evil God" written by my friend, teacher (doubtful), Uncle Chu Bai!

If I write about the game "Isekai" because I can only write "Amber Sword" by myself, then when I write a book, it is because I was influenced by Lao Bai.
