Soul of Burning Steel

The sixth floor of the abyss, the molten sea inferno.

In the dark sky, black clouds filled with toxic dust surging in the blood-colored firmament, in this long-dead world, the sun is extinguished, and the stars and moons have nothing to do with it, only the lava red glow that shoots out from the countless huge gaps on the earth.

The world is sweltering, but not dry. From time to time, huge amounts of high-temperature steam mixed with metal solution are ejected from the ground. They rise into the sky, mix with poisonous clouds, and then fall into acid rain that can corrode everything. The earth then gathers into pieces of high-concentration acid lakes that exist for at most a few hours.

But even so, it is also one of the few sources of water in this world except Styx.

Molten Sea Hell, the Great Plain of the Black Sea, next to an acid lake that just appeared due to rain, and with the sound of Xixisuosuo’s footsteps, countless traces of creatures suddenly appeared on the empty ground, and a low howling began. Reverberating around the lake.

Legend has it that the Black Sea Great Plain was indeed an ocean two thousand years ago. What is churning in this sunken plain is not the heavy haze, but the seawater which contains a lot of toxicity but can barely drink, but because of the sixth abyss and other In the battle of a deep abyss, multiple demon lords fought here, causing the sea to evaporate out of thin air, most of the water vapor infiltrated the earth, and then erupted with the movement of the ground from time to time.

But no matter what the truth is, life always has to multiply, no matter how difficult it is.

The gray corroded ground, accompanied by the sound of the rubbing of the carapace, was drilled into hundreds of small holes, and dense abyss worms crawled out of the earth like this, enjoying the long-lost acid air, this scene is so It’s disgusting. Tens of thousands of gray-white obese maggots writhe and churn together, and they will definitely make all intensive phobias faint on the spot, but the chaos did not last long. After about a few seconds, it was accompanied by a weird sound. With the sound of the flute—or the sound of the horn, these worms began to scramble towards the acid lake not far away as if they had heard the command.

Not far away, a worm-shaped demon with six legs and some mantis-like worms just got out of the ground. It slowly put down the strange bone flute in its hand, silently watching these worms roll into the water one by one, impatiently. Most of these worms were corroded by the acid solution, but there are always a few of the hundreds of them that have evolved corrosion-resistant shells and acid-friendly internal organs through rapid mutations. They happily absorb the lake water. Then, with the help of the corpses of his own kind, he grew rapidly, encrusted, pupated, and finally turned into crimson eggs floating on the water.

"The success rate of this incubation is good."

Seeing this scene, the worm man demon thought in his heart: "120,000 worms should be able to hatch nearly a hundred demon eggs. It seems that the quality of these worms is very high."

While thinking about this, it bit the flute with its hideous mouthparts, and made a sound containing magical flute, driving away the beasts and monsters around the abyss that it intended to approach. As a herder, its duty is to drive away the abyss worms. Enter the acid lake to incubate, and then bring the devil's egg back. In this process, you must be alert to the surrounding beasts, because the devil's egg is a great tonic for them to promote their advancement.

Because in these devil eggs, there are pure soul fragments.

In various legends and records, demons always appear as soul predators and destroyers. They occasionally invade a world and then completely destroy it, plundering all the souls and resources in it, but absolutely Most of the time, they will suppress their chaotic and evil nature, and patiently trade with some worlds they are unable to attack, and trade souls from creatures who desire demon power.

The reason for this is unknown to most of the middle and low-level demons. Even the powerful big demons may not be able to understand the truth, but as a demon lord’s closest subordinate, the bug man demon’s “herder card” Sen' knows the truth of everything.

The reason for everything is because the abyss is a dead world.

How does a world count as death? The element collapses and the power of steel dissipates? This is for sure. Such a world has long since disappeared, and has been classified into the void, but many worlds clearly still have a complete cycle of elements. Although the power of steel is silent, it still exists. Then why is this world judged to be dead? The reason lies in this-the reincarnation of the soul in this world is over.

Since the birth of life, the soul has appeared, along with the multiplication and death of life, the reincarnation of the soul has grown stronger and stronger. The invisible and intangible power will circulate in the heavens and the earth, forming a great reincarnation of the soul, and its power will Let the new soul grow stronger with generations, and it will be easier to master the mysteries of magic and vindictiveness. As long as the end does not come, then this cycle will continue to grow, because it is a symbol of the world's'alive', and a representative. It is the flame of civilization and the consciousness of the union of life.

It is not only the power of flame, but also the power of steel that represents the world itself, forming a cycle called existence.

Destroying most of the lives in a world in an instant can weaken reincarnation, dim the flames, and even end it. The destroyed soul reincarnation not only cannot nourish the new souls, make them stronger, but also inhibit the new souls. The birth of the whole world made the newborns of the whole world become foolish and blind, even vegetative, living in such a world, unless they keep plundering their souls from the outside world, otherwise there will be no future at all.

This is the reason why the abyss is constantly launching aggression towards the outside world, and even the origin of the **** war of plundering between each other. In a world where the soul stock is fixed, only continuous plundering can strengthen itself and maintain its own world. .

The job of the herder Anson is to transform the looted soul fragments into a series of abyss worms, and then graze them. The creature at the bottom of this demon chain will spontaneously swallow the soul fragments in the body of the dead species, and then continue to advance. The red devil eggs contain soul fragments that are sufficient to support a little devil’s mind. The soul fragments of dozens or hundreds of little demons can be fused into a complete soul that can support the minds of middle-level demons. In the process of swallowing and plundering each other, the demons will become ferocious and cruel, becoming the abyss lords attacking other worlds. The best soldier of the time.

This is the cycle and order of the abyss. Plunder other people, or die.

--of course.

The herder An Sen thought so, and the worm-man demon couldn't help but feel unwilling to commotion-a complete soul merged from fragments, no matter how complete it was obtained through trading or other means, full of resentment and anger. Souls, those souls are the raw materials for the abyss lords to convert big demons like the Balrog. No matter how a grazing worm is trusted by the lords, it is impossible to know the steps.

If it can know the mystery... then maybe it can also become a lord.

And just as the worm man demon's heart was tumbling with the devil's unique heart of betrayal and rebellion, a violent roar that resembled a lava burst suddenly sounded in its soul.

"Anson!"

The sound was so harsh, and the power contained in it was so heavy that it caused the bug man and demon to kneel on all six limbs in an instant, quietly waiting for the owner of the sound, his lord, with a king-level on one end. The potential Corruptor issued further instructions.

——Could it be that I swallowed a part of the devil eggs and was discovered? The demon’s simple mind doesn’t have too many twists and turns, the worm demon’s thoughts at this moment were immediately felt by the great demon Carlo, but it’s amazing that the Corruptor Lord, who is known for his tyranny and cruelty, has no punishment. Instead, his subordinates continued to use its violent roar to give instructions: "Quickly leave the acid lake-that batch of devil eggs are no more! Quickly leave!"

An Sen was stunned for a moment.

A grazing worm demon who specializes in hatching can increase most of the worm hatching probability, which is a great asset for any demon lord, even if they swallow a part of the demon eggs, as long as they are not excessive, most lord will not What life-threatening punishment was used was to tear apart part of their souls and let them spit out what they had swallowed, but this time without punishment still made the worm feel incredible. It knows how much its lord is. It's stingy, of course, it's incredible, it's incredible, it still stood up immediately, then complied with the instructions to give up the eggs and slid into the ground quickly. Its specialized exoskeleton limbs and sharp body structure can dig in the ground quickly, just for a moment. , It has escaped to a depth of 100 meters underground, and the entrance of the cave is buried more than mud.

Any demon may not be proficient in combat or have no wisdom, but they must be good at escaping and hiding. Those who are not good at these two have been chewed as snacks by other big demons since the little devil period. The instant 100-meter digging knowledge is considered the upper level even among the various races of the multiverse, and it has escaped countless pursuits by this.

And shortly afterwards, the earth shook.

Looking down from the black sky of the Molten Sea Hell, you can see that at the edge of the Black Sea Plain, a huge plume of smoke is rising and moving rapidly. All the abyssal beasts and monsters along the way fled in panic. These cunning and cruel monsters would try to take a bite or two even when facing the dragon, but at this time they fled in embarrassment like a dog with a tail between them.

Boom boom boom!

With the rapid sound of footsteps, it was possible to see what creature was moving before the huge smoke, but it was strange that the first thing that came into view was a humanoid Balrog about five meters high.

Judging from the size of this Balrog’s body, it can be seen that its strength has reached the peak of the Great Demon, which is equivalent to the ultimate realm of the human world. Its body is sprayed with flames over a thousand degrees, which is enough to melt steel and gas. It turned into a rock, but at this time it was running fast, and the flames all over it were suppressed by the wind in front of it, dragged behind it, letting it bring out a long tail flame.

It looks very bad. There has never been a Balrog running like this on the ground. They have always lived in abyssal volcanoes or hot and poisonous soups, absorbing natural forces to grow, and they rarely need to prey, only when they are close. Advanced, only go to other areas when new supporting bones are needed.

What is it that can make a big devil-level flame demon run so embarrassingly? Not far away, many wild little demons or middle-level demons wandering in the plains were puzzled while escaping.

And then, the doubts were resolved-in the huge plume of smoke behind this Balrog, a huge figure emerged from the dust and mist, revealing his huge and hideous body.

Golden red, like lava, like a dragon's pupil that melts steel, rising high, the big horns that seem to penetrate the sky, dark black, crystal-like layers of carapace are stacked on top of its body like scales, red fire The elemental mist entangled its wings and limbs with bone spurs, making every step of its stepping bring a terrifying explosion, causing the smoke and dust to rise up into the sky.

A powerful black dragon. There is a string of golden crystal nuclei on its chest, flashing light like the sun on it, and its existence has increased the temperature of the already sultry abyss by at least thirty degrees.

The black dragon follows the Balrog, and its speed can surpass that Balrog at any time, but it follows the other side honestly, not daring to cross it. The fire element surrounding the black dragon and the flame of the Balrog echo each other. Let the surrounding earth, which originally contained strong acid and various combustible substances, ignite large expanses of flames, spreading like flame novae.

Deep in the ground, the grazing worm demon An Sen curled up nervously in the ground, its six limbs hovering in front of its chest, turning itself into a ball, the grazing demon’s vigorous mental power is strong enough to control hundreds of thousands of abyss worms at the same time. Leaning out, observing the movements of the outside world.

It saw the rushing Balrog, which immediately surprised the worm, because the strength of this strange Balrog was even as strong as the Lord of Corruption Demon, and it was single-person, flame. The flaming demon that is highly poisonous incarnate is far higher than the corroding demon whose body is composed of high-concentration acid. The former can even overcome the latter. The corroding demon can only show ten strengths in the face of the flame demon without a flesh and blood body. One part.

No wonder the leader I quickly hide. It thought silently. A new fire demon, this can definitely break the pattern of the demon lord in the Black Sea Plain, especially since the lord of this abyss with its core army has already invaded the outside world. At this time, no one came to adjust it. The result must be that one of the original demon lords of the Black Sea died, the territory was inherited by the Balrog, or they would join forces to kill the stranger from outside.

But then, a ferocious black dragon made its brain temporarily stop thinking.

——Devil Blood Black Dragon? Are the five-color dragon demons who have only recently settled in the abyss? Is it hunting down that Balrog?

Unlike the black dragon, although the strength is not bad, it is far inferior to the big Balrog. The difference in size is nothing to the Balrog, and it doesn’t look like a chase. Instead, it seems... to lead the way?

Lead the way for whom?

The grazing insect demon raised its head subconsciously. It wanted to continue to perceive this strange combination with its mental power, but for some reason, Ansen looked straight above the black dragon's head.

Between the horns of the black dragon, there was a figure wearing a black hideous full-length armor. He had no reins, and he didn’t need reins. He just stood upright in the wind, letting the wind blow at the speed of 300 kilometers per hour. Wearing his own armor.

The black figure seemed to perceive that someone was peeping at him. He lowered his head slightly and looked towards the ground where the grazing insect demon was.

Underground, An Sen was stiff, and his hideous limbs trembled wildly uncontrollably.

Thousands of voices echoed in the ears, as if thousands of undead were hissing, the demon seemed to see a pair of scarlet eyes at this moment.

then.

Darkness spreads.

And far away.

In the center of an underground fortress in the Great Plains of the Black Sea, a black bubble was rolling up and down, looking like a huge humanoid demon like a black water element, sitting on his limestone chair and let out a painful roar. Countless bubbles containing sound waves churned up from the core of its body, bringing out countless ears-covering fierce wailing.

Almost five minutes later, the powerful demon slowly got up from the seat. The stone chair under it had been corroded by its uncontrolled body. After a long silence, it muttered to itself. : "Anson is dead..."

"What the **** is going on, how did it die? Where did the violent mental shock come from... I have never heard that Balrog still has a talent for mental shock."

The fear of the devil will only last for a short time. After a while, the great Corrupt Demon immediately ignited an irresistible desire for destruction. Its precious herder died. This is a great loss equivalent to a broken arm. It roared. Waving his hands composed of high-concentration acid liquid, he wanted to destroy the structure in the hall. It was not until a long time later, when it calmed down a little bit, that it called for a few trembling mid-level demons outside the hall that was already full of potholes. Give instructions in a cold tone that seems to be frozen in the cold.

"Assemble my army," it said: "Notify the other lords around that the Balrog is too dangerous."

"Before internal fighting, we kill outsiders first."

As the order was issued, the subordinate demon armies began to gather slowly, and the armies belonging to other demon lords soon set out and moved towards the northeast of the Black Sea Plain.

That is the direction in which the Balrog and the Black Dragon move.

At the same time, Joshua, who had just glanced curiously before, had already left behind the little things that had been peeped before. He didn't care about other people's peeping at all. Rather, his high-profile action was originally intended to make people. peep.

Many people come to the abyss, thinking about being cautious, cautious, and then cautious, trying to hide their identity from other people and other demons.

This is indeed true. If it is a long-term adventure in the abyss, even Joshua will do it. After all, killing all the way to the past is too tired and boring, and there is no way to enjoy the fun of adventure.

But now it is different. What he has to do is to look at the current situation of the abyss and find two missing legendary archmages by the way~www.novelmtl.com~ At this time, there is no need to keep a low profile.

Standing on the black dragon, Joshua looked at the scenery on both sides flying by. As the mount was moving rapidly, he couldn't help showing a wild smile unique to drag racing. The man recalled something about it a long time ago. The experience of drag racing is different from the previous life. Now, there is a huge abyssal plain that allows him to run freely.

The high-profile logic is simple. The higher the key, the more the demons will pay attention. The powerful demons will challenge him, and the weak ones will avoid him. Before the great lord of this abyss takes action, his reputation will definitely spread throughout the abyss. In this way, hide The two legendary mages in this abyss will naturally know that he has arrived and what trouble their disappearance has caused.

If there is a legendary demon lord or abyss lord, then fight it. Joshua can’t ask for it. If he is besieged, he holds the Book of Ibonne and can send it back at any time. By then, it will be a few times back and forth, anyway. The power consumed is this abyss magic book, he can waste it casually.

"black."

Thinking of this, Joshua patted the dragon's horn on his side, and he said: "Spit a few shots of fire, like fireworks, how can it be conspicuous."

"Roar!" With a deep roar of the dragon, Hei immediately understood his master's meaning. The dragon was brewing for a while while running wildly. Then, a group of hot golden flames was sprayed into the sky by the black dragon's head, and the warrior left his hand. With one finger, this flame formed a large and eye-catching logo on the black and red cloud curtain of Molten Sea Hell.

A strong arm wrapped in chains and holding a sharp sword.

That is the coat of arms of the hand holding the sword, the coat of arms of the Radcliffe family, it shimmers and shines on the sky, like a sun to show its own existence.

Just like its owner.
