Soul of Burning Steel

Not long after, the three people behind Joshua woke up completely.

The first one to stand up was the old dwarf. As a gold-level dwarf fighter higher in level than Joshua, his physical fitness was very strong. After getting rid of the dizziness brought by the time-space teleportation, Moria quickly recovered her thinking ability and began to observe the surrounding environment.

"The dust in the air is poisonous."

After taking a deep breath, Moria patted the dust on his body, and immediately said seriously to everyone: "There are too many impurities, and there is some kind of special energy in the gray mist, which can corrode our bodies, although we don't know Whatever the consequences, it’s definitely not a good thing, everyone be careful.”

"That's right, and it's best not to touch the dirt and gravel on the ground directly. The power of chaos is very strong, and it will be eroded if you are not careful."

Joshua also echoed, and he and Moria did not talk nonsense, and directly shared the known news. Both of them understand the current situation, and the most important thing now is to understand the surrounding situation, rather than meaningless panic and confusion.

"……unable to connect."

On one side, Claire raised her hand, then frowned, she looked up at the sky, her green eyes fixed on the black dome, she shook her head and said: "No... this place has no natural will, I can't communicate .”

"This is no longer the Mycroft Continent, and looking at the surrounding situation, it is obvious that there are no creatures and jungles here, and the natural cycle has disappeared... You can't connect."

The force of nature comes from the ecological circle, but if the ecological circle does not exist, then this power will naturally disappear completely.

Joshua was sober from the very beginning, he has already confirmed a series of information with rich experience, he said to everyone: "Actually, not only the force of nature, magic power and fighting spirit are also in the same situation, I don't know Have you noticed that the surrounding environment is continuously weakening our strength, just like the gradually damaged magic equipment in an environment with thin magic power, our strength is gradually dissipating."

While talking, the soldier stepped forward, he held Rin's hand, and pulled the boy who was still sitting on the ground up.

While holding the opponent's palm, Joshua keenly noticed a slight difference.

——In Rin's body, there is no energy loss similar to him and others.

"It's a little strange, isn't the divine machine not affected by the surrounding environment? I haven't encountered this situation in previous battles...it can't be inferred."

After all the staff recovered, they began to check the surrounding situation in detail.

Through observation, it is obvious that everyone is now on a barren plain full of dust and gravel. The thick gray fog blocks their sight. Even Joshua cannot see the scene hundreds of meters away, but Just in terms of the scenery that can be seen, it is enough to be called very bad.

Hundreds of meters away, it was already a blur. There was no life on the ground, no water, no plants, and no living things could be seen. In this barren wilderness, there was nothing but fog and dust. No, even above the sky, it's just a chaotic darkness, no sun and stars, clouds and sky can be seen.

This is not a scene that can be seen in a normal world. Even in the abyss, there are at least magma and demons. The current scene reminds Joshua of some uninhabited worlds in the void of the astral world that have never produced life in the first place.

"I see what's different in the deeper soil."

The soldier simply squatted down, half kneeling on the ground, checking the texture of the dust on the ground, and then Joshua tried to dig deep into the soil at the bottom, and found some surprising traces.

Continuing to dig, after the soldier dug a deep pit of more than three meters, he found a lot of things unsurprisingly: broken armor fragments, broken sword fragments, metal shield remains, and various other things. Broken weapons, these sharp blades and armors that were once extremely hard and have experienced thousands of tempering are now only a little bit of broken debris, fragile and vulnerable to a single blow.

With the passage of time for thousands of years, even the almost eternal rocks have turned into dust, and the toughest steel industry has turned into rust. The dust on the plains may have been vegetation, rocks, human corpses or It's something else, but these days, it's just a piece of dry grit that doesn't make any sense.

Joshua carefully tried to take out a fragment of a piece of armor, but no matter how careful he was, the rotten piece of iron shattered into powder under his touch.

Giving up on taking out the weapon fragments in the pit, Joshua jumped back to the ground with a serious face, then looked around everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, before we came to this ghost place for no reason, you all saw got that illusion, didn't you?"

certainly.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they did all see that vision—the decisive battle that took place on the plain.

"I said a possibility, of course, it is very likely not possible."

Joshua turned his head to the deep pit he had dug, and then pointed to the armor fragments and weapon fragments at the bottom of the pit. He raised his voice and said seriously: "I can probably be sure that where we are now, that war took place. The location, in that vast great plain.”

"Any proof, Joshua?"

Moria asked. He didn't seem to doubt what Joshua said, but simply asked.

"Except for the weapon fragments underneath, there is nothing, it's all just speculation."

Joshua shook his head, patted the dust on his body, and said in a low voice: "But at present, we can only accept this kind of statement, you know, our previous state obviously passed through the gate of time and space - the ghost knows where it came from of—and then came the world behind it."

This world eroded by chaos.

He thought silently in his heart, and then continued: "And just before crossing, we happened to see the illusion of that scene. I don't believe you if you say there is no coincidence."

"..."

in silence.

In fact, Claire and Moria had thought of this possibility a long time ago, but they were still shocked to be said in such a firm tone, while Rin stood silently behind the warrior, saying nothing. Not sent.

"This is not a good time."

After stroking his beard, the old dwarf said with some distress: "The time and space gates leading to our world have been sealed, and it is extremely difficult to go back. Besides, you and I are not here. After a long time, Moldavia will have big troubles." .”

"I can only hope that my son can stabilize the situation before we go back," he sighed.

"There is no force of nature here, and my strength has dropped a lot."

Claire looked very unhappy. This gold-ranked druid was full of worry. She looked at her white hands, bit her lower lip, and said softly: "Elements are also very inert, and they don't listen to my calls. ...The ability of all spells has been reduced by more than 80%, the 'fire' in this world is very weak, I have never seen such a situation."

Joshua almost felt the same way, and the feeling was deeper than these two people. The energy in his body was overflowing all the time. No matter how hard the soldiers tried, there was no way to stop it. It was like entropy increasing. Flow towards low energy.

I came here because of the strange power in the crystal of steel. If I want to go back, I must at least find the source of this power... The source of this power must be somewhere in this world.

Thinking of this, Joshua couldn't help recalling the strange voice he heard at the end of the illusion.

"Soul Abyss...Soul Burner..."

After muttering a few times, the soldier simply asked the others: "Everyone, do you know what a soul burner is?"

The old dwarf glanced at Joshua and asked strangely, "Aren't you the one?"

"I?"

After being stunned for a moment, Joshua couldn't help but frowned: "I am?"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

Before the old dwarf could answer Joshua's words, a strange light suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
