Soul of Burning Steel

Grantia World, Southern Wasteland, night.

　　 Joshua stood on the top of the mountain, looking down on the ground below him.

Before his eyes, there was a continent shrouded in darkness. There was no light, no torch, no light from all civilization and wisdom. The deep shadow swallowed everything, and the screams of dead shadows could be seen echoing in it. .

It has been nearly ten days since he came to this area. The soldiers searched every corner of the land and shuttled it back and forth. He saved at least 30 shelters along the way. All the survivors killed tens of thousands of dead shadows, and the degree of power liberation broke through to 63%.

　　 But it didn't make any sense, Joshua frowned until she almost stood up-the dragon wing girl seemed to have disappeared, lost her trace.

In the darkness, the warrior did not speak, but followed behind him, and finally adapted to the environment of this world, and the brothers and sisters of the gods who were able to restore their human form did not speak either. Both Hotaru and Rin could sense a rare one in their master They can also understand the feeling of anxiety when they see it.

In fact, it has not been a month since the warrior came into this world. In less than a month, he has found the place of the heir and confirmed that the inheritance of the saints is intact. This can be said to be fast, but Qiao Xiuya knew that he was only a little too close to finding his goal directly. After missing it, following the clues to find it but nothing, it would naturally feel uncomfortable to compare the two.

　　 The next moment, with a long sigh, the undulating heart calmed down, and Joshua recovered her calm.

"It seems that she has left this wasteland." The soldier murmured to himself: "Ulbandeni gave me her breath, and I also noticed her breath on this land, but this breath has been there as early as After ten days of strength suddenly disappeared... I originally thought she was hiding in the ground, but now it seems that she has used some method to cover her breath and hid elsewhere."

　　 Thinking of this, the warrior stands on the top of the mountain, looking around the sky, even if the opponent is hiding and heading to another area, then which side is it?

　　The ghost only knows, can only guess by luck.

　　 But just when Joshua planned to change Hotaru and Rin back to weapon form, and then stood them up, searching for which side the sword and axe fell, he suddenly felt a faint, but somewhat familiar fluctuation.

　　 This couldn't help causing the soldier to turn his vision to the direction of the wave, and sighed with a little surprise: "Silver Realm?"

　　 The wave just now was caused by a black iron enlightenment level vindictive practitioner who allowed his own energy to penetrate his body, completely mastered his physical strength, and broke through the silver shining realm!

　　 "It's really fast."

Throughout the southern barren plains, Joshua saved a total of more than 30 shelter survivors. Everyone passed on a different breathing method. This breathing method is a mixture of fighting energy and original crystal magic energy. The bright spots of the system enable it to be enhanced by absorbing the free energy in the heavens and the earth, and it can also be advanced by absorbing the power of the original crystal.

Most of the surviving people are not very strong, and it is precisely because of their weak strength and weak breath that they are ignored by the dead shadow powerhouses who destroyed the shelter. They are acquiring these breathing methods and Qiao Xiu. After Ya's help, his strength was indeed greatly increased and he possessed some abilities to fight against the dead, but within ten days someone broke through and achieved the silver realm, which really surprised the fighters.

　　 This proves that his deduction is not wrong, and it can even be said that it was a big success!

　　 So, on the top of the mountain, a red arc of light jumped up, and then fell down towards the earth. The dim light drew a straight line in the dark world, and flew quickly towards the eastern part of the southern plain.

　　At this time, in the ruins of a village in the southern wilderness, a pair of blond young girls were standing in front of a newly repaired house, facing a group of dead shadows slowly approaching.

　　 "Krit, haven't you adjusted yet?!"

The heroic young girl was holding an unusually sharp hatchet that was polished. With such a hatchet, she quickly killed the group of weak and dead shadows in front of her. The southern wasteland was the entire grid twenty-seven years ago. The most fertile grassland in Landia is one of the largest gathering places for mankind. Most of the dead shadows recovered here are just ordinary people. It is precisely because of this that girls with a certain extraordinary power can support for so long. .

　　 But no matter how weak the dead shadow is, the young girl can hardly support herself alone. She flashed through a dead shadow's grapple with difficulty, and she couldn't help but let out an angry roar: "If you don't adjust, I will die in front of you!"

At this moment, the teenager named on the side looked really bad. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the house, as if he was about to drown, breathing briefly and quickly, while under his bare skin. , I could see the blue blood vessels bursting out, and the muscles squirming crazily under them, which not only brought strength but also extreme pain.

　　 "Larryl!"

　　 The young man named Crete intermittently said in a voice that endured pain, "Thirty seconds! Give me thirty seconds!"

It can be seen that there is a large amount of blood flowing in his blood vessels, transporting the power seeds condensed from the body to the whole body, preparing for the high-level silver awakening vindictiveness, and Crete holds it with his hands that are no longer trembling. He touched the wood-chopping axe on one side of his body, and a fierce light flashed in his green eyes: "I'll be fine soon!"

　　 But the girl named Larry could not wait for his rescue.

　　 Of course, it wasn't because Larry hadn't blocked the shadow of death—but there was a red meteor flashing across the sky.

　　Joshua is here.

　　 As if the sun swept across the earth, the dead shadows on the eastern side of the southern wasteland were emptied in an instant. The young girls looked up at the sky in a daze. They saw a familiar figure in the middle of the village.

　　 The figure who rescued them from the dead and taught them the practice.

"grown ups!"

Larael and Crete knelt hurriedly, their eyes filled with respect-although the two did not even know Joshua’s name, this did not affect the fighter’s status in their hearts. It is equivalent to recreating parents, mentoring professions, and even higher roles.

　　 When Joshua saw Crete, whose muscles and blood vessels were still not back to normal, he stretched out his hand.

A faint beam of life energy radiated like this, shot out from his fingertips, and submerged into the boy's body. After an instant, the boy was shocked to realize that the squirming muscles and veins in his body had completely calmed down. Advanced this time!

　　 "Good job."

After doing all this, Joshua looked at the dilapidated village and nodded with some appreciation: "In just ten days, a house was rebuilt in the ruins and the general fortifications were completed. Also advanced to silver...Although this is because you have enough original crystals, it is indeed a genius."

　　 The warrior's eyes can see through all the secrets, and he can naturally understand that the reason for Crete's rapid advancement is not because he practiced too fast, but because he had sufficient raw crystals in his hands.

The village of sanctuary under him was attacked by a group of undead knights led by a headless knight in the mouth of a young girl. Only two people hiding at the bottom of the well survived. However, these dead shadows were not robbers, they did not plunder anything, leading to Crete and Larryl, who were rescued by Joshua and taught the breathing method, have enough original crystals to practice.

　　 Excellent inheritance, good talents, sufficient resources, and hard work every day. The combination of the four has created this young man who has advanced to silver within ten days.

　　 "Get up."

　　 Joshua asked the two to get up. He didn't have the habit of letting others kneel and talk. At the same time, the warrior's eyes penetrated Crete's flesh and blood, staring at the power seeds in his body.

This is a peculiar transformation-the magical power from the original crystal, after the teenager sucked it into the body, it was broken down into the elemental power of the primordial by the breathing method passed down by Joshua. And vitality, vitality is used to strengthen the physique and derive fighting energy, while the remaining elemental power is accumulated in the heart of Crete, and his organs will be magically transformed little by little, as long as the teenager is advanced to silver After the high-level, as long as Crete needs it, he can run his life energy, merge with the elements at the heart again, and restore it to magical energy.

The breathing method that integrates the cultivation systems of the two world warriors, if it is in the Mycroft continent, it is only regarded as a general breathing method, but in the Grandia continent, it is because it is extremely good to absorb the power of the original crystal. The speed is enough to be called the top practice method.

And most importantly, Joshua can see that the thread of fusion power seed in Crete is already a bit similar to the pure vindictiveness in the Mycroft continent-and this similarity is the power of steel. The most original, the essence that will not change even if it crosses different worlds!

"let me try."

　　 Reaching out his hand, Joshua mobilized all his energy, simulating this trace of essential power---instantly, a dark silver light flashed on the palm of his hand. Although the light was dim, it was extremely heavy, as if carrying an entire world.

Crete and Larryl, who had just stood up, suddenly knelt down again involuntarily. While their hearts were full of awe, they also felt a hint of inexplicable kindness. The young girl felt the black hair in front of them. The powerful men with red eyes, the mysterious teachers who passed on their cultivation methods, seemed to gradually merge with this world and become one with this world.

　　 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 68.5%... 69%!

　　 In an instant, Joshua’s power liberation reached 69%

　　 Therefore, a powerful coercion swept the entire southern wasteland!

It's like a giant beast cruising in the sea, setting off a huge wave, an unspeakable wave of majestic power sweeps everyone in this land, whether it is a survivor who perceives a familiar breath or a scattered one. The dead shadows were all suppressed to the ground by this force, unable to move, and further away, on the southwest side of the mainland, in some still intact shelters, some sleeping strong men and heroes suddenly felt breathing stagnant, and energy circulation in the body. After a meal, the feeling of heart palpitations can't go away for a long time.

　　 Farther away, northwest of the mainland, in the capital of the Ulan Empire, Gethar, a leader of the undead suddenly turned his head and looked towards the sky where the southern region is.

　　 "Sanctuary..." It muttered to itself in a deep voice: "Who...who can break through the sanctuary at this time?!"

　　 The source of the fluctuations.

　　 Suspended in the midair in the red eyes of Joshua, there was a gleam of metallic silver light, which was the light of the power of steel, carrying, creating, and covering the power of all things.

　　 is the power he wants to master.

　　 At this time, Joshua, although the degree of power liberation has not reached 100%, his strength at this time has surpassed the heyday of Mycroft mainland. This is the power that surpasses the peak of extreme intention and has not reached the realm of legend!

　　 But just when the soldier reached the 69% liberation rate, he suddenly stopped further advancement.

　　 Therefore, the coercion retracted.

　　 Joshua landed slowly on the ground, he ignored the siblings behind him, like ‘Master, you just became so strong! ’’It feels better than when I was in Mycroft! Such an excited question also ignored the adoring glances of Crete and Larry, but looked at the palms of his hands that no longer flashed with silver light with seriousness.

　　 "The power of steel...is being eroded?"

　　 The warrior muttered to himself in doubt and shock: "The power of existence in the world~www.novelmtl.com~The initial fire is shrinking?! Who is it, who can do this kind of thing?!"

Just now, just when Joshua’s power liberation was about to break the 70% mark, his whole body's grudge and vitality were about to sublimate into a kind of energy that was closer to the power of steel. He was interacting with the world of Grantia. The heaven and the earth breathe together, so the warrior sensed from the underworld that the essence of existence in this world is being changed, and the power of steel, which is the foundation of all things, is also being eroded.

In this world, there is no steel python similar to the world of Karlis and Ilgna. Its existence is too short to give birth to its own will. Therefore, the nature of this world is very easy to change. , And even erosion and corrosion.

　　 In order not to be affected by this erosion from the source, the fighter decisively gave up the breakthrough.

　　In the distance, northwest, the Ulan Empire's capital, Gethar, disturbing black clouds surged, and black rain fell.

　　 A halo of seven dark colors shrouded the city, maintaining the never-dissipating mist and tornadoes of dust around it.

　　 But at this moment, the fourth halo in the center broke away from the array of seven-fold rings and began to gradually move towards the south. This deep dark vortex carried a huge dark power and began to move towards the outside world.

　　 It was as if some shadow was climbing out of the abyss.

　　 Its target is the southern wasteland.

　　 And its purpose is to destroy all resistance and hope.
