Soul of Burning Steel

For friends and companions, what kind of character is Joshua?

There may be thousands of different answers to the question, but there is no doubt that these answers will have one thing in common, which is reassuring.

Whether it is the grumbling grumbling of the weapon or the compliment of the people with a little fear, behind the surface complaints, there is unparalleled peace of mind. Joshua’s existence is like a mountain, as long as it is To exist, there is no need for the sorrow and storm to come. He seems to be aloof, but he is actually full of tenderness. In Moldavia, no one can hear the least talk about the lord. This is not only because of the lord’s own strength, but also his There are indeed no black spots.

As a friend and comrade-in-arms, Joshua’s reliability needless to say. He advocates order, sticks to his duties, and does not underestimate his promises, but he will do it if he speaks it out. It is indeed the most reassuring thing to have such a person fighting side by side.

So, what kind of existence does Joshua exist for the enemy?

There is only one answer: monsters.

Stubbornly straightening his body, Helm didn't back up or curl up. He looked up at the unscathed steel giant in the sky, and his body was shining like a rune-like line of light.

What other answers are there? Any existence standing opposite the warrior will silently agree with this answer: the almost indestructible body of steel, the incredible power of moving mountains, comparable to the regenerating speed of undead monsters, and the normal attacks that can destroy the city and mountains...even in long-range combat. , Qiao Xiuya can also use the fist wind, nuclear melting flame and other methods to attack, and to conduct close-range mutual attacks with him, not to mention, this is the worst choice.

Apart from other things, let's talk about the one who fought him in close combat recently, Saruka. The Demon Lord is not a weak one. The insect demon who is proficient in various changes has a variety of forms and different fighting styles that make everyone feel difficult, but even if it is, it can only be completely crushed when it chooses to fight against Joshua at close range. Suppressed, even without the strength to fight back—Now Saruka’s ignited body is still falling toward the bottom of the blood moon abyss, the invisible end of the world. It was just a fight. Its bones were crushed, and its body was completely distorted. .

But is Joshua really invincible? Helm didn't think so. The Snake Eye Demon was very convinced of this. Even if its fighting style and attack methods were restrained by the warriors from beginning to end, it did not feel that the steel giant was invincible.

Joshua has weaknesses and can be destroyed. The Black Dragon King’s attack can be effective. Saruka’s raid can also break through a layer of armor. Although the steel giant may seem indestructible, in fact Still able to be destroyed, the mutual attack between him and the Dragon King dismantled himself and the other side to pieces, which had exposed the vulnerabilities of his body structure, and Helm had completely recorded them.

But it is not strong enough.

The steel giant is responsive at short distances, but it is difficult to dodge at medium and long distances due to its excessive weight. The fluctuation of the gravitational force transmitted by the speed of light also makes it difficult for him to make a surprise attack. Saruka’s attack on Joshua was not intentional. He took the counterattack, but he really couldn't dodge, so he made a defensive counterattack... In terms of pure speed, the Giant does have a weakness.

But the devil is not strong enough.

The warrior currently seems to have no resistance to special types of attacks. He does have unparalleled adaptability to ordinary energy and physical attacks, but is the same for special seals, curses and mental attacks? If you want to defeat such an invincible giant on the battlefield, you may not need to face the enemy head-on. You only need to retreat back to the abyss and plan a large soul sacrifice curse to weaken the opponent and make it difficult for him to fight.

But Helm is not strong enough.

Yes, not strong enough.

Helm saw the fragile structure in Joshua's body. It analyzed that the warrior was not agile enough. It guessed that the steel giant was not resistant to certain special attacks... But what? It simply cannot take advantage of these obvious flaws! The giant snake bite with sharp teeth anxiously. Compared to fighting one-on-one with the strong, Helm is better at suppressing the entire world with his own power. Its attack is enough to plunge half of the continent into scorched earth, but it is not good for some strong. Useless, it sees through everything, but it cannot attack the opponent's weakness, cannot use the opponent's weakness, and even has no chance to try to attack from the enemy's weakness-because the soldier is facing it face to face, Helm has no chance.

Above the high altitude, Joshua had roughly finished cooling off, and he began to walk towards the giant snake, not fast, but the pressure was comparable to that of the entire sky being turned into a sea. He is moving forward, no one can stop him.

The fiery wind slapped the body of the giant snake back and forth, causing the flashing energy lines on the surface of the Demon Maharaja to buzz. Helm watched Joshua walking in the flames, and a pair of closed snake pupils began to appear on its surface. Gradually opened, a different light began to flash in each snake's pupil-dim, bright, hot, cold, vigorous, full of ignorance and death... the different lights in the millions began The whole body of the giant snake is surging, making it seem to be an aggregate of light

"Goliath, the lord of my king's abyss."

Helm whispered in the old demon language, and the hot gas spit out from the throat of the giant snake ignited the surrounding atmosphere, and the billowing heat reverberated all around.

"I am not afraid of fighting life and death, not afraid of pain and torture, I am willing to work for my race, and never have peace, even if it is perishable forever, I will not hesitate-I only fear one thing: the hope of my race will cut off my hands, and there will be no more The future can be said about it."

Helm recalled the scene when he was defeated by Goliath. It was defeated swiftly and cleanly by the opponent, but he was not killed in accordance with the usual practice of demon wars in the past, but was left with his life. At that time, the gluttonous demon who was not the demon king even took a look at the defeated general, but what it said did not make the beholder embarrassed and angry, but made it willingly become the other's subordinate.

"The Sixth Abyss is too small, Helm, I want to conquer other worlds and seize everything I want from them, whether it is the flame, the soul or the hope of reviving the Sixth Abyss, I will not let it go."

"Keeping you alive is not because of my kindness. The world is tens of thousands. I can't take action by myself every time. I need a subordinate who can charge for me, and you are just right."

The demon king of the past stepped the head of the giant snake into the soil. He stepped on Helm’s head and said so. Goliath had a bad tone and showed contempt for Helm in every move, but these were the winners of the demon battle. The loser's right for granted, but that hope made Helm who was waiting for death in the mud slightly stunned.

hope? What a wonderful thing, what an unthinkable thing, when did the devil ever need this thing, and when can he own it? This stupid demon defeated itself well, but does it really feel that it can restore the abyss? Too stupid and too crazy.

Hey, funny guy.

Above the sky, Joshua was still walking unhurriedly, and he could see that the joints of the steel giant were still a little red. Although Helm’s Star Blaze did not cause obvious damage to the warrior, it did slow his actions. , The Demon Lord discovered this, but it still couldn't find any possibility of defeating the opponent.

Yes, it has no chance. According to calculations, it does not even have a one-in-a-million chance of winning. Rather than expecting it to defeat the steel giant alone, it is better to expect the Black Dragon King to come back from the dead and Saruka's injury to heal. The siege of people together is almost the same.

However, not everything needs ‘have the opportunity’ to act.

Joshua’s walking speed is getting faster and faster, the effect of Star Blaze on him is getting weaker, and the light on Helm’s body is getting brighter. There are thousands of different types, different attributes, and different characteristics of energy in the giant snake. Converging on the body, it suddenly hovered itself into a huge ring—the demon lord gave up his snake-like physical form, but completely transformed his legendary body into a simple circular energy structure, countless The light spots of different colors began to move in the energy structure of the ring, and their speed kept accelerating. After a few seconds, they turned into a stream of light rotating rapidly, turning Helm into a ring of light and dark energy. , The space was shattered by this ring, and the fragments of the world oscillated and fell around it, like scattered colorful crystals.

There is nothing else to do.

In the next instant, the stream of light that Helm had turned into the air suddenly jumped into the air and rushed towards him in Joshua’s surprised eyes. It had already transformed into light, a pure energy aggregate, and its speed was the speed of light. , Nothing can stop it.

-Even if it is a losing battle, Helm still has to take the initiative to fight for almost zero chance of victory.

This is the ‘stupid’ and ‘crazy’ of the devil.

The halo formed by the incarnation of the demon lord revolves rapidly, moving forward at the speed of light. It shines with a dazzling light, illuminating the half-blood moon abyss, and countless colors merge into white at this time, but this white is not pure and warm. The white, but the fiery chaos, the unspeakable white, it rushed towards Joshua, as if it wanted to hit head-on.

-It is about to succeed. Everything happened in 16.67 microseconds. This is the time for light to cross five kilometers, which is the distance between Helm and Joshua. It is impossible for any creature to react in such a short time. It is a hit.

But four hands stretched out, the silver brilliance flashed gently, and an invisible barrier blocked between the rushing halo and Joshua.

The light was great, and the entire Blood Moon Abyss seemed to be illuminated. For a while, the light released by the Blood Moon was obscured, but Helm was not shocked by this scene. It had not reacted yet—it was blocked.

The warrior stared at the halo formed by the incarnation of Helm in front of him. The time was too short. He did not understand what the other party was planning to do, but it was absolutely impossible to underestimate a legendary powerhouse to give up his form to launch an attack. So Qiao Xiu Ya used the most cautious defense to resist the opponent, the power of steel condensed into countless crystals with absolutely smooth surfaces. No matter any light, any energy entering the cloud-like barrier formed by this crystal will be refracted and deflected. It is completely impossible to cause any damage to him. hurt.

The reason why he was able to react was not that the warrior’s reaction speed surpassed the speed of light, but that he had been prepared — after losing to Pope Iger in the competition, Joshua kept thinking about how to fight against the incarnation of light. Although he has not figured out how to fight against the incredible ability that can change the speed of light, he has all thought of corresponding countermeasures for other ordinary attacks. Helm’s Starburst also happens to be in it, and the impact of this incarnation halo not excluded.

At the moment when the opponent turned into a halo, Joshua immediately set up a defense without thinking. This was not instinct, but a predictive answer from rich experience, and the demon lord's every move was detected by him, just as it is now.

"There is courage."

He sighed in a low voice, for the sake of courage, Joshua didn't intend to talk nonsense. The silver flames lighted up on his arm and accelerated continuously to form a horrible stream of chainsaw light. The soldiers appreciated Helm's decisive attack. , But he did not intend to understand the other party’s intentions. With the strength of steel and mass waves capable of breaking the mountains, Joshua had to directly sever the demon lord’s still accelerating light flow body, and combine all the other’s hopes with May be completely cut off.

But suddenly, at the bottom of the dark and silent abyss, a dim star lit up.

The Blood Moon Abyss is a world of destruction. Before it is destroyed, the entire continent is floating in the air. Even the fallen rocks will float in the sky, and then be absorbed by other islands. Different races and civilizations, but no matter what race or civilization they are, they all have great awe at the bottom of the world.

They said that it was the end of all things, they said it was a dark and bottomless abyss, no one had gone there, no one knew whether it had an end-but now, a dim star rose rapidly from the abyss, It rises vertically, with a gray beam of light, which penetrates all darkness and dyes the dark and dim world with a hint of color. It is like a sharp sword, exuding incomparable momentum, at this moment Even Joshua couldn't help being distracted a bit, but Helm didn't take advantage of this opportunity to attack. It was one of them that he couldn't do it. In fact, it was also attracted by the light spot.

In the next instant, UU read www.uukanshu.com and they all knew what that light spot was.

That's the demon Saruka, the worm demon lord.

"His ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Ascending rapidly, with an inhuman roar from his mouth, Saruka's body has roughly been regenerated, and it has transformed into another sleek creature form. At this time, it is flying rapidly toward the sky above, and the sound is left behind. Behind it, the air burned and thunderous. It was seriously injured, but it was not without the power of a fight. The insect demon was eager to return to the battlefield.

The ‘star’ rapidly expanded, and it slammed into Joshua—it’s not that the warrior couldn’t respond. At this time, he was wrestling with Helm fully, so how could he split his strength to deal with Saruka? All this happened within a thousandth of a second, and it was only visible that the continuously rotating light stream finally broke through Joshua’s barrier and hit the opponent’s chest, and the Insect Demon Lord who hit the warrior back also turned into The weird shape like an octopus firmly bound the four arms of the steel giant, preventing him from launching a counterattack.

One hundred thousandths of a second later.

A supernova lights up in the center of the Blood Moon Abyss.
