Soul of Burning Steel

Joshua raised his head.

His gaze penetrated the gray hazy mist to the black sky above the distant sky, where the bluish-white thunder and lightning were raging crazily, blooming traces of incomparably bright one after another, and soon after, the low rumbling rumble sounded It came from afar, and the thunder light gradually became weaker until it disappeared.

But this is not the end.

Accompanied by a slight 'crawl' sound, a gust of wind suddenly rises from the distant land, the airflow rotates, and countless dust and sandstones rise to the sky, forming a huge wind curtain, and the gray mist all over the earth is gathered by the wind, It turned into gray rivers hanging in the sky.

The gray fog dissipated, and the vision suddenly became clear——

The strong wind blew across the flat plain, and even the people standing far away were blown by the aftermath, with their hair flying. Even Clare, who was thinking about the dangerous situation of his power decline, couldn't help raising his head. She saw Yes, above the sky, the black sky is rolling like a whirlpool.

The extreme cold invaded the earth at this moment. The temperature on the plain was not mild at first, but now it has dropped to the extreme cold that is even colder than the coldest winter day. The earth is covered with a layer of frost, ice crystals and snowflakes It condensed and fell in the void, and after just a few breaths, the gray dust plain turned white.

If it was an ordinary person, they would freeze to death in an instant. Fortunately, here are three gold powerhouses and a weapon that ignores cold and heat. this temperature.

The chaotic changes in the distance brought thunder and snow. Everyone could see that a black column of wind appeared in the distant sky. It was a tornado, and the tornado came with a torrential rain.

"Crash--"

A strange and clear sound resounded between the sky and the earth, and the rainstorm approached rapidly from far to near, and expanded to where everyone was. Under Moria's astonished eyes, countless translucent crystals with a hint of silvery white luster, like raindrops It fell from the sky.

"Crystal of Steel?!"

The old dwarf could discern the nature of these crystals just by looking at them, his beard quivering in amazement. Resisting the cleansing of the crystal rain with golden-red fighting spirit, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed a handful of crystals in his hand. The silver-white gem shone with a blurred light, and the powerful and pure power of steel overflowed, which made Moria It was almost impossible to breathe: "So many?! Such precious materials, unexpectedly, are now falling like rain..."

His tone was floating. Even as the highest forge of the rune dwarves in the Northland, he had never been so extravagant. Speaking of this, Moria seemed to think of something. The old dwarf looked around and murmured: "Legend, At the beginning of the birth of the world and when it is on the verge of destruction, there will be a large amount of free steel power condensed into crystals... Could it be this time?"

"This is not like the scene at the beginning of the world."

Claire said softly at the side, the green magic power condensed into a phantom of thorns, which protected her from the attack of the crystalline rainstorm, and the expression of the elf druid seemed a little unhappy: "Obviously, this world is on the verge of destruction, so the There is such a strange scene, and only this reason can explain why I can't even feel the slightest force of nature."

The power of nature is the power derived from all living beings. It is similar to the life force in living things, but it is not the same. It is an existence between fighting spirit and magic power. It is a power born in the ecological circle. It has With all kinds of strange and wonderful functions, druids rely on it to give birth to trees, transform species and plants, and get better offspring and seeds.

Generally speaking, as long as the ecological circle exists, the force of nature will not disappear, but now that Claire can't feel its call, this is enough to prove that this world has long since died, and there is no life left.

And Joshua was bathed in the crystalline rain, even though these hard gems hit him, making a bang bang sound, beside him, the crimson grudge set up a rain cover to help Rin resist falling from the sky. under the crystallization.

He stretched out his hand and caught a steel crystal. Joshua keenly noticed that the gray fog around him had all disappeared, and the gradually decreasing energy in his body had also improved, but as time went by, Both the steel crystals that landed on the ground and the crystals he held in his hand were rapidly turning black and red, until finally, they all turned into the same one he found on Hotaru.

Moria and Clare naturally noticed this first point, and even Rin turned to look at the soldier in surprise. Joshua nodded and said, "It's indeed the same aura. It seems that we The crystal of steel that was inspected came from the current crystal rainstorm."

After speaking, he continued to look up into the distance.

In the distant sky, the black cloud curtain is still churning, and the tornado and bluish-white thunder continue to flash.

There is the source of the crystalline rain, and... what happened?

Thinking suspiciously, all of this is beyond the scope of Joshua's experience. Even the abyss that has fallen to the end of chaos is very different from this world. At this time, he is going to use the system to take a look at this world. What is the situation.

Turn on the system, and there are countless messages swiping the screen immediately.

[You have entered the doomsday world: Carliss of Famine]

[This world is suitable for human survival, and you don't need to pay extra for survival. 】

【warn! The world is corrupted by Chaos and is very dangerous! 】

【warn! The world is on the verge of destruction, very dangerous! 】

[Introduction: Carliss is a once glorious magical world, which gave birth to a great and brilliant civilization, but in a disaster that happened more than 1,100 years ago, the civilization was extinct, and the world gradually fell into ruin. abyss. 】

[Status Chaos Erosion: The breath of chaos erodes your body, making your body gradually weaken, perception decline, and all attributes drop by one level. (Due to the Unburned Fire trait, you are not affected by this status)

—breathing and dying from the end. 】

[Status·Magic energy loss: The surrounding low-energy environment affects your strength, causing your magic, fighting spirit, and the upper limit of various special energy slots to temporarily decrease.

——Is imprisoned in a prison without miracles, this is the greatest pain of the strong. 】

【Status·Fireless World: Burned out ashes world, no soul, no life, unimaginable loneliness and rejection from the world torment you, you need to pay soul value to maintain the light of your own existence.

——When civilization collapses, life is extinct, when wisdom disappears, and order does not exist... This is the day when all fuel is exhausted. 】

It seemed that the situation was very critical, and Joshua couldn't help frowning.

But now, the two states of mana loss and fireless world are displayed in gray, which means that they have been temporarily stopped, and replaced by a state called [Steel Purification].

[Status·Purification of Steel: The power of steel from the beginning of the world erupts again at the end of the world, even in a world without fire, it can still be effective. Expels most negative states.

——The pulse and counterattack of the world is the will of steel]

"It seems that this world is really on the verge of destruction."

Seeing the original three negative states, Joshua couldn't help but think this way. It's okay to say that the erosion of chaos, the loss of mana and the world without fire undoubtedly prove that this world is on the verge of extinction, and even the existence of magic and souls cannot support it. , but the last purification of steel proves that this world is at least still trying to restore the situation, and it is still a little bit saved.

After confirming the current situation, Joshua turned around. He said to Moria and Claire who were still observing the crystal rain: "You two, I think we should move in that direction."

As he spoke, he pointed to the direction where the thunder and tornado appeared before. Since the field of vision became much clearer, everyone could see that there were many peaks and hills in that direction.

"Why?"

The old dwarf was still reluctantly looking at the steel crystal in his hand, but this time it was Claire who raised doubts first.

"Because it's the only place with light and movement in this barren world—the rain of steel crystals is also spreading from that direction, and don't you think your physical condition is much better now?"
