Soul of Burning Steel

Once the destruction follows its trajectory, everything that follows will be as uncontrollable as a wild horse running out of steam.

Babel province, capital, suburbs.

Because of the large amount of external magic brought by the space-time cracks, clouds, smog, and endless squalls and lightning spread to the outside with the Babel province as the center. Although the inexplicable element decay phenomenon slowed down this phenomenon in other provinces, As far as the area from the capital to Sapphire Port is concerned, this momentum has not stopped, but is getting bigger and bigger.

The original light rain in the province of Babel has now become a downpour, everything is hidden in the endless rain curtain and darkness. Ordinary people can't perform any activities in this situation, even if they stretch out their arms, they can't see it clearly. where is it.

However, in the outskirts of the ruins of the city, a group of golden light was shining, the light was bright and dark, as if beating with breath.

This is the core of the half-dragon’s chest. The originally restless half-dragon is now lying on the ground like a gentle cat and dog in this dark rain. The rainwater all over it evaporates into mist due to high heat. On the back, there is a human being holding a book and reading it constantly.

Sitting on a black back, the rain water slid down from the surroundings of the scarlet fighting gas mask. Joshua was reading a book about the history of the world’s elves and the stone demons. By his side, many have already been read, or Books that have not been read are placed.

The senior officials in the province of Babel still attach great importance to this unimaginably powerful warrior. Joshua simply made a request. Within half an hour, almost all the books that met the requirements and could be collected were placed. By his side.

Afterwards, most of the high-levels went to plan disaster relief, because many of them were hiding in their basements, but their houses were collapsed by stone demons. The elves who could not escape now urgently need help. The downpour flows down the cracks in the rocks into the basement, if not as soon as possible. In the rescue, all the refugees who survived within a few hours are afraid that they will all return to the mother tree.

For this reason, Loranda volunteered to help the group of elves to rescue. Originally, the elves did not have much expectation of this blond civilian man, but the paladin was able to detect all the lives within a few hundred meters in an instant. The aura still shocked them, as for the brute force enough to easily rip off the broken rocks and beams on the ruins, but not many people were surprised by the brute force that could rescue people.

After all, he is the companion of that volcanic dragon owner, how could he have nothing special?

Behind Qiao Xiuya, Ying and Rin were talking quietly. The silver-haired girl’s firefly pupils were shining with misty fluorescence, and the black-haired teenager’s golden eyes were also shining brightly. Due to the excess magic power, both Mingshenji felt the energy of his whole body begin to activate, and while a little panicked, the teenagers and girls felt their own power increase. The conversation between them was to exchange their feelings.

But the soldier didn't care about this. He frowned, flipping through the ancient books in his hand, and Joshua threw himself into it.

"This world once had a brilliant magical civilization. There were countless magicians active in the wars from the first dynasty to the third dynasty, but by the fourth dynasty, that is, the last dynasty, the elves were left with only elites. Archer, even if he knows a little magic, it is a trivial spell."

"And about three hundred years ago, a meteorite fall in the Tengger Bay may be the first time the stone demons came to this world, and the one more than two hundred years ago was the first large-scale invasion."

Muttering to himself, Joshua’s voice was a little puzzled, and his face looked very hesitant: "But it doesn’t make sense. If the gradual decrease of the magician is the interference of the Chaos Cthulhu in the world, just like the Famine Cthulhu to the world of Karlis As you did, turning everything into a barren Jedi, then the arrival of the stone demon and the time of the element decay do not match."

Elemental decay, it can be said that since the elves have clearly recorded history, it has been a continuous problem, and no matter how the signs of the stone demon and chaos are pushed forward, they can only stop at the time period three hundred years ago.

There is only one conclusion-the increasingly thinning elements of this world have nothing to do with magic and chaos, but for other reasons.

However, even though I know a lot about this continent called Ilgna, Joshua still doesn't know much about the huge circle and the stone demon in the sky, and the elves have not been watching. After passing the sky, they had no idea where the Apocalypse Array came from, and what connection it had with the stone demon, which made the soldiers who originally wanted to find some targeted information somewhat helpless.

This group of elves have spent three hundred years, still ignorant of the coming of their enemies.

And just as Joshua was feeling emotional, a white holy light lit up in the distance, it kept getting closer, and finally came to the side of the half dragon.

"Joshua, do you have time?"

It was a calm male voice. Loranda's voice was slightly tired. He raised his head and said to the soldier sitting on the dragon's back: "Can you accompany me to the city for a walk?"

After thinking about it, Joshua didn't think it was a problem. Anyway, he couldn't get more information in the book for the time being, so it's better to go around the city.

So he jumped off the dragon's back and walked with the Paladin to the capital of the province of Babel.

No words all the way.

Passing through the outskirts and on the edge of the city, the two silently walked among the ruins in the center of the capital. There were pieces of meat and gravel everywhere, and the wreckage of countless elves and stone demons was everywhere. The blood and internal organs were washed away by the rain, making the smell of fishy smell. Unfamiliar and weird, it's annoying.

Joshua is naturally unaffected. He has experienced countless battlefields, even the orc battles in the Northwest Plain. The corpse he woke up for the first time, the smell inside was more disgusting than here, but Loranda's face was The more gloomy it turned out, it even attracted the soldiers' attention.

This is not like the look a paladin should have... but as long as he knows his future, it is not surprising.

Noting the soldier's gaze, Lolanda's face gradually returned to normal. He sighed slightly, and then said to Joshua, with a low voice: "Seeing the miserable appearance of this world being invaded by chaos always makes me feel terrified. "

Brows raised, Joshua knew that the Paladin in front of him was definitely not a timid person, and he must have a reason for saying this.

Sure enough, Loranda stood in place after a moment of silence. He looked around the surrounding ruins and talked to the soldiers slowly: "I am not afraid of death or fighting. Fighting with chaos is the meaning of my life. One, my existence is to protect mankind. This is the enlightenment necessary to be a paladin and the adopted son of the pope."

"But every time I fight against Chaos, I can't help but think, what if I fail?"

When he said this, Loranda's face was covered with a black mist, and his voice was in a trance: "My companion will be slaughtered, and my hometown will be ravaged, just like here."

As he said, the paladin stretched out his hand and pointed to the ruins in front of him. Under the power of the holy light, Joshua could vaguely hear the wailing of the grieving soul. It was caused by countless elves who died in the hands of the stone demon, but the warrior was keen. Perceived that most of the resentful souls are disappearing quickly, it seems that they are being called by something far away.

But now is not the time to focus on this.

"Fighting against Chaos cannot tolerate the slightest failure, even if it is a little bit of possibility, you can't relax!"

Now, Loranda’s expression seemed to contain deep-seated hatred and anger, and his voice seemed to be forced out of his chest: "All chaos should die, one should not remain, and the other should not be left, but why? Why is the Lord Godfather? He doesn't completely destroy the Plaguelands? He is a legendary powerhouse, a **** who walks in the world, and doing this is nothing at all!"

The Plaguelands, like the Sealed Lands of Moldavia, are areas sealed with chaos. Just as the Radcliffe family has always suppressed the wild gods, those places also need a lot of manpower to encircle and suppress the monsters in it.

This expression, did you lose any comrades in the battle against Chaos?

There was no need for the other party to say anything, Qiao Xiuya almost guessed what happened just by looking at the other party's expression.

A Paladin dedicated to protecting mankind. After his comrades died in battle, he began to doubt the meaning of his battle. He began to regret, question, and resent all the causes of this matter-Chaos, and the strong that did not completely eradicate it. By.

In other words, he didn't know why ordinary knights like them were required to practice when the legendary powerhouse could destroy the Plaguelands with one blow-even if it was to adapt to Chaos as an enemy, he should not risk such a big deal. risks of.

Regarding this, Joshua thought for a while, and he slowly said: "As for your doubts, I have a guess, but I am not very sure."

"Loranda, I don't know if you have heard such a legend-the world originated from the light of existence of the initial fire?"

"...I seem to have heard it."

The Paladin was stunned for a moment. He frowned. There is no creation myth among the seven gods. Even the sages have never said so. Loranda vaguely feels that he seems to have heard it somewhere, but he Still a little hesitant: "But I don't remember very clearly."

But how could Qiao Xiu care about the other party's hesitation? He was only narrating his own guess. The soldier raised his eyes, scanned the dark world before him, then raised his right hand and lit a red light, which was originally shrouded. The ruins of the city in the dark suddenly appeared under the light, and he calmly said: "Look, the flame is lit, and the light is released, and the tangible world is born under the light of the light-but the flowers are in full bloom and need to be attached to the soil, without roots. Zhiping also needs to float in the river."

"The burning of flames naturally needs fuelwood, and the movement of the world can never be an eternal cycle. The initial fire burns chaos and creates the world. Then for the world, you think the best fuelwood is what?"

The answer does not need to be said. As a person who has once become the king of burning souls, burns chaos, and reshapes the world, Joshua naturally knows the answer.

But after hearing Joshua's words, Loranda remained silent for a long time, and his heart was full of stormy waves.

What the soldier said, Pope Iger also said to him, but only a few words, without detailed explanation, but now, Joshua told him his own guess, after both sides confirmed, the Paladin found , I actually found a trace of possible truth.

A trace of shocking truth.

"Just as people need food, and fire needs fuelwood, the order of the world can only be maintained by relying on chaotic combustion as the source."

He whispered to himself softly, with a tremor in his voice. The paladin recalled the truth that the Pope was in the temple on the Seven Sacred Mountains and told him calmly: "The fire has been dumped thousands of years ago, without these. The malignant tumor is the source of fuelwood, and the fire on the Mycroft continent has long been extinguished."

"Really? It seems that you also know something."

With a laugh, Joshua could see that the other party had already noticed some truth. He had guessed about this truth a long time ago, but now it was confirmed by the Paladin's words.

The two stood among the ruins of the city, the soldier extinguished the red ball of light in his hand, and everything returned to darkness

But suddenly, there was a whisper in the sky.

The sound was so slight that even Loranda didn't notice it. The Paladin was frowning and thinking, only Joshua was keenly aware of this.

The world's constraints on space are weakening.

But how is this possible?

Qiao Xiu turned his head and looked at the endless black clouds and lightning in the sky. Behind that, there are ten huge light spots slowly appearing, and the white light reflects an arc of light in the soldier's pupils, red. There was a hint of caution in his eyes.

Others always think that he is a brash man who knows nothing but fighting, but how can a brash man be truly invincible? He has always been more sensitive to the outside world than most people.

"More stone demons are coming?"

Since I didn’t sense the extreme crisis~www.novelmtl.com~ Although Qiao Xiuya prepared Lolanda and herself for flight evasion, she still had the energy to think about this question: "Still talking about the magic circle. Give me another light cannon?"

The soldier has a faint feeling that things are not that simple.

The ten light spots in the sky appeared for a period of time, and then gradually disappeared. After that, the magic power in the space became stronger and stronger. The purple magic thunder was endlessly tossing between the clouds. They danced wildly, and then blasted the ground, sending out The continuous deafening roar, the rain is getting more and more, the more it drops, the bigger it gets, and it also vaguely brings a trace of chaotic power, which makes people can't help but feel distracted.

This is no longer ordinary rain. If the rain is allowed to continue, it will undoubtedly turn into a natural disaster called flood.

In the heavy rain, Joshua stared at the sky.

What is the purpose of this chaos?

In the outskirts, the half-long and the gods are happily talking to each other.

But countless huge shadows slowly emerged from the darkness.
