Soul of Burning Steel

Human beings have always been bound.

When I was young, because I was ignorant and weak, I was protected by my parents. Every word and deed would be controlled by my family. For example, you can't go near deep water, don't touch open flames, and don't approach strangers. This is the most basic rule for safety. .

When they are young, they will enter the classroom. Teachers and others will teach the rules of life in the exchange, knowing that others are the same individuals as themselves, and the moral standards that vary from person to person will also be in daily life. A little bit of engraving in the heart becomes the cornerstone of the future when walking in society.

After adulthood, because the body is no longer as fragile as a baby, and because the strength is enough to violate the rules and hurt others, more restraints appear together-stricter laws, more complex social environments, and human relations. The relationship between people, the amount of money, the existence of marriage, and the existence of family heirs... everything is a thread wrapped around the body, and the iron hanging on the body stabilizes all unstable factors.

It sounds very heavy, even breathtaking, safety, ethics, law, life, interpersonal relationships-there are so many rules and guidelines that people can't feel the slightest freedom.

Many people admire free birds, and many people admire carefree fish. But in fact, birds have to search for food day and night, and fish also need to be alert to natural enemies at all times, so some people pay attention to them. On the abyss, the first contacts in the abyss believed that this world without government, no law, and power alone is the perfect embodiment of freedom, and chaotic demons are the most free creatures.

The soldier sneered at this idea.

Because freedom is never unscrupulous.

Joshua stood on the left side of the river Styx, watching the demon army densely standing in front of the entire river plain. The two sides confronted tensely on both sides of the river bank, but they were silent because of a fragile balance, countless pairs or scarlet. , Or the dark yellow ferocious eyes condensed on him, but there was no way to make Joshua's expression change the slightest. The body gradually heated up, and a trace of golden red light began to light up on the black armor. The warrior just clenched the Balrog sword in his hand again, and then spit out a heat wave that was distorted by the surrounding atmosphere.

Joshua hates demons very much. He hates these unscrupulous monsters who regard life as nothing. He hates these monsters who never restrain their desires and are committed to destroying and killing. The reason why humans are humans is because they know how to restrain themselves. Demons are here. In the eyes of a soldier, it has never been a wise creature, but the most ferocious and cruel beast. Can an unscrupulous beast represent freedom? It's ridiculous.

The basis of freedom is that it does not affect the freedom of others. It dances with shackles from the beginning, and does not overstep the rules. It will never be based on the pain of the weak, and it will never appear in the chaotic mind. in.

Real freedom is like this.

Qiao Xiuya, took a step forward and stepped on the rushing Styx. The black "river water" rippled, and countless regular geometric ripples spread endlessly towards the distance. It carried the weight of the warrior and also Broke the fragile balance.

While seeing this scene, at the top of the Black Blood Fortress, extremely nervous, Gwa Gunda gave the simplest and most direct instruction in an instant——

"attack!"

The neigh of the insect demon was still oscillating and spreading in the atmosphere, but its spiritual communication had been transmitted to every corner of the army, so a simpler reply was sent from the mouths of thousands of demon:

"Roar!"

On the right side of the Styx, the tens of thousands of raging demon armies parked in place immediately reacted after hearing the instructions in their brains. They raised their blades, extended their claws, lit the flames on their bodies, and then they did not hesitate. Stepping forward, he fiercely rushed towards the strange demon lord in front of him!

Rather than waiting for these melee troops to deploy and intercept, the rear, a troop composed of thousands of beholders, berserk archers and other scattered demon spellcasters have officially taken action, accompanied by the flash of thunder, and the decaying magical elements shook the atmosphere. The fallen spells that had been accumulated and prepared for a long time turned into streams of light, across the atmosphere, and smashed toward Joshua like rain, and immediately behind was the dense black iron that covered half of the sky. Arrow!

However, Qiao Xiuya had no intention of blocking and parrying. Facing the dark green corrosive rays, the burning fire dragon and the dazzling lightning strikes, he just took a ‘serious’ breath.

Suddenly, the air waves are raging, the storm is countercurrent, along with the sudden appearance of tornado hurricanes, the waves of the Styx, the magical elements in mid-air begin to become extremely turbulent, and most of the fragile spells have not had time to bombard their targets. His body was destroyed by the collapse of the structure caused by a dozen gusts of wind, and the demon army at the other end of the river was also affected by the sudden flying dust, and it became chaotic in the dark.

Before these demons calmed down from the flying sand and rocks, they felt a suffocation and severe cold spreading rapidly. The atmosphere within a radius of several kilometers suddenly became thinner, and the heat seemed to be drained by something, and many of them were burning with flames. The demon watched in shock as the flame on his carapace went out, and then frost condensed, which was something they had never experienced before.

But soon, they no longer have the energy to care about such trivial matters.

Because Joshua stopped breathing.

In a short moment, most of the air and energy within a radius of thousands of meters were drained, making the hot scorching **** become as cold as the north. The soldier's chest did not bulge, and his body seemed to have a The bottomless abyss can swallow everything by inhaling, and now, he is beginning to exhale.

call!

Unlike the inhalation that brings severe cold, the hot hurricane whizzes out from Joshua’s mouth. The terrifying heat begins to burn and explode as soon as it touches the outside world, causing the atmosphere to ionize and produce plasma, which is mixed. The storm of flames and thunder rays swept toward the demon army on the river in a straight line. The black iron arrows that rained down along the way were only halfway through, and they were melted into a ball of golden molten iron by the blast wind of thousands of degrees. Swept by the storm, pounced mercilessly on their original owners.

boom! At the moment of contact, the little demons in the front row of the army were wiped out. They couldn't even last a second, they were blown away by this hurricane hotter than lava, and the subsequent raging demons held them a little longer. Not because of their powerful strength, but because after a long distance attenuation, the hot wind no longer has such a terrifying temperature, but when the current platoon of violent demons also turned into torches and screamed and burned out, the back row was able to temporarily The demons who endured the high temperature suddenly flew up one after another, which was caused by the impact of molten iron after the arrow melted.

First, the armor on the chest was deformed by force, and then the outer carapace and bones were smashed and penetrated by the golden molten iron. The terrifying impact brought the demon's tall body to fly, and at the same time all the internal organs and The flesh and blood shattered into a paste.

After dozens of elite violent demon heavy-armored infantry were blasted up, what fell again was a distorted corpse.

In an instant, with Joshua taking a serious breath, the demon army belonging to Lord Helm lost one-third of the little demon forward and one-tenth of the backbone infantry. This kind of heavy blow was on Mike. Rove Continent is enough to cause a defeat, and it is not easy for the fierce demons by nature. The army that was roaring forward before suddenly fell silent, they stopped and looked at each other in shock, but they did not dare to move forward.

"Continue to attack!"

Above the fortress, the worm leader was not shocked by this scene. It is a great demon in the extreme realm. Of course, it knows the strength of a king—if these demons alone, it is impossible to defeat or kill the opponent, even if it is. It is also extremely difficult to force the opponent to retreat, but from the beginning, Gwa Gunda did not place hope on these troops. They were just tools to delay time and put them there as targets for the opponent to kill. There were other preparations for the real killer move.

Following this order, the nervous demon army began to advance again-when the distance was right, they used the slings they carried to suppress Joshua in batches, accompanied by the rumble of mechanical operation. , A giant siege heavy crossbow nearly ten meters in size was assembled. A few seconds later, a few giant steel arrows that looked like iron pillars burst into the air and bombarded the warriors. go with.

But all the offensives did not make any sense to Joshua. He didn't even fight to resist. He just stepped on the Styx in an ordinary way, step by step across the river meaning death, throwing stones and shooting guns. Before approaching his body, he was pressed down by the heavy stance of the warrior's whole body and fell into the river. The magic hit on the black armor, only a few helpless sparks and arcs appeared, even if it was claimed to be able to dissolve everything. The large corrosive beam was also helpless, and even itself was absorbed by the opponent in turn, submerged in the black steel.

Perceiving something, the warrior raised his head and looked at the Black Blood Fortress. At this time, three giant city-breaking steel arrows capable of blasting through the walls of a city were galloping towards his body, and Joshua simply raised it. The hand, like a fly, slapped one off, and then split another with the Balrog's Great Sword, but the last steel arrow still blasted firmly on his body, immediately violently blasted, and the river water There was also a sudden burst of waves.

It is nearly ten meters long, and the steel arrows that look like beams supporting the temple are dedicated to the city. If a creature is hit, even a huge mammoth behemoth will be penetrated and die unfavorably. Ordinary humans are even more deadly. The place of burial and the wreckage were hard to find. Many demons couldn't help stopping their attacks at this time. Looking at this scene, they felt that even the legendary powerhouse would be uncomfortable with this blow.

But the result disappointed them.

The huge steel arrow fell slowly, revealing Joshua, who was intact behind, and did not even take a step back. The huge arrow was so obvious in comparison with the ordinary-sized warrior, but the result was such a contradiction. You can see the steel arrow. There was an armor-shaped depression at the foremost end, and obvious distortions appeared at the arrow shaft. The completely damaged siege arrow fell from Joshua's body and sank into the Styx without any splashes.

But at this moment, on the Black Blood Fortress, a series of preparations have been completed, and Gwa Gunda, who was flashing thunder arcs all over his body, gave the final order-so accompanied by the sound of steel friction of the mechanism's displacement, the whole body was made of rocks. The top of the built fortress began to rapidly unfold and deform. With the emergence of magic crystal pillars, two parallel metal rails also rose from under the tower, and then quickly extended. Under the guidance of magic, it directly locked in position. In the middle of the Styx, he was looking up at Joshua here.

The insect demon stands in the center of the tower, the center of this huge war machine. Together with hundreds of beholders, it supplies magic power to the weapons under it. The Sixth Abyss has invaded countless worlds, and this terrifying weapon is in a certain Obtained in a world with extremely fierce resistance, its power is so powerful that it can bombard a mountain into dust with a single blow, and face-to-face confrontation, even the king can hardly resist.

The unknown weapon began to operate, the light blue crystal pillars were charged in a grid, humming and vibrating, and a thick and dangerous magical lightning flashed between the two tracks. It formed a dozen or so lightning rings of almost the same size. , The horrible electromagnetic force converges and rotates in it, and you can see that a fleet of red light has begun to appear in the air, which is formed by the metal particles in the ring being accelerated to the extreme spontaneous combustion, and at this moment, the insect The final instructions were also issued.

"Drop a bomb-launch!"

Along with the fluctuations in time and space, a huge steel ball appeared at the end of more than a dozen thunder rings. As soon as it appeared, it was immediately attracted by the terrifying electromagnetic force, and began to accelerate naturally in layers, which cannot be perceived by humans. Among the time fragments, it has passed more than a dozen acceleration orbits, and then turned into a cloud of orange metal liquid that is as bright as the sun and is constantly igniting and evaporating, and it blasts toward where Joshua is!

Too late to react to the blazing white light that illuminates the sky and the earth, and to sigh the storm that blows the vast expanses of land with the demons, everything happened in a flash, and many demons who died after being affected by the aftermath of weapons are still there. Before I knew that I was dead, the completely liquefied and gasified projectile had reached the top of the soldier's head over a distance of nearly ten miles!

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the black dragon following the warrior widened his eyes. He had a premonition of danger and wanted to alert his master, and the Balrog seemed to be wailing because it sensed something that he could not get rid of. Life and death crisis, at this time, the demon army in front of him is still shocked, the water of the Styx river is still flowing, and the smell of ozone in the air is the product of dissociation of oxygen.

In this time-like static environment caused by ultra-high-speed thinking, the warrior perceives everything around him. Facing the extremely dangerous electromagnetic shells, Joshua has no tension or excitement in his heart. He can only hear hydraulic pressure coming from the black armor. The vibrating noise, facing the enemy's blow of all hope, he just seriously squeezed the Balrog sword in his hand, carefully aimed at the incoming supersonic liquid metal, and finally seriously pressed his own weight. Developed with one sword.

The so-called freedom is like this. In the abyss, warriors don’t need to worry about harming the civilians around them, and they don’t need to worry about the damage to the environment. No one can stop him, and no one can hinder him. All the restraints are gone, and the feeling of freedom fills the whole body—so, this With a sword swung, the warrior didn't think about it, because he didn't need to consider the consequences of the battle, but only needed to focus on destroying the enemy.

Then, time began to flow.

In Joshua’s hands, the Balrog was completely shocked and unconscious at the moment he swung the sword, and the sun’s scorching heat spread rapidly, causing the oxygen, sulfur and gas in the atmosphere to burn out in an instant, and the high temperature was mixed with chaotic air. The flow formed a vacuum gap that tore everything apart, and a cohesive, as if the actual golden sword light met the same cohesive electromagnetic cannonball frontally, and thereafter, there was a roar!

Rumble rumbling rumbling! ! ! ! !

In the black blood fortress in the distance, the worm demon who had just consumed most of its strength for the war machine function under him suddenly trembled. Unlike the high temperature spread by the accelerated artillery shells, the cold fear was like a wave of ice water mixed with ice, directly Pouring into Gwagangda’s heart, it made the devil’s internal organs seem to start convulsing and freezing. Its compound eyes saw the sudden burst of sword light in the distance. It also saw the metal cannonball that was divided in two. The Styx that was split by this sword, the ground that was completely lifted off, and the army of demons that had fallen apart.

Of course, it also saw the end of itself being divided into two by this endless extension of sword light.

——Ah, it's over.

The worm demon thought so, everything of a long life began to flash in front of his eyes, starting from the most initial abyss worm, it transformed into the weakest worm demon, through constant hiding, forbearing, cocooning and sublimation, it finally successfully advanced to grazing. The insect demon became the most powerful assistant of a great demon, free from the chaotic environment where the lower demons swallowed each other, and hundreds of years later, the great demon became the king, and it also advanced to the great demon it looked up to in the past. .

Demons never regret, they rarely have this kind of emotion in their thinking organs, and Gwa Gunda also does the same. At this time, it is just sighing. What a powerful and cohesive power, unlike ordinary kings, this sword has no hatred, no chaos, no greed, no pleasure, and no anger. This sword has nothing but destruction. It is pure and incomparable, just for killing and Destruction is born, and because of this, it is invincible.

The worm closed its eyes, and it calmly waited for death to come.

But suddenly, the layers of crustaceans on its face ~www.novelmtl.com~ The expression changed drastically, and Gwagangda's self-comfortable posture disappeared. Instead, he looked up and turned around in shock-just as he just turned his body. At that moment, a golden-orange streamer galloped from far away and penetrated the atmosphere. It passed over its body and came to the front of the Black Blood Fortress.

A golden-red scorching ray burst from this stream of light, tearing apart the atmosphere and the sword light that had spread to the fortress. The edge of this ray was shining with light blue ionizing thunder, and it sent the fortress to the plain on the banks of the Styx. It was divided into two, leaving a scary lava cut.

"Gwa Gunda, you did a good job, but waiting to die is too cowardly. I will punish you after the war."

The muddy and deep voice came from the streamer. At this time, the light gradually dissipated, and the real body of the voice could be seen.

That is a demon that is not tall. It has thousands of pairs of evil eye pupils that are constantly wriggling. It is covered by a smooth black carapace all over its body. On its head, a pair of hideous magic horns stand tall, with large flashes on it. Magic arc. The thousand-eyed demon is flowing with a hot air wave, which is the residual warmth left by the high-speed movement. After reprimanding his subordinates, the demon turned his head and looked at the soldier standing above the slowly closing Styx. .

"Stupid guy, you dare to go deep into the abyss and destroy my territory."

The voice of the angry demon contained endless rage, which caused the black carapace on its body to gradually change color, and finally turned into an orange-red like lava. It said sharply: "I have lived for endless years and have mastered all tortures. Means, you will regret being alive."

"Stupid demon."

The free warrior raised the flame demon sword that was slowly melting and deforming in his hand. He looked at the enemy who was finally waiting in front of him, grinning likewise, and replied sharply:

"I am proficient in destroying you."
