Soul of Burning Steel

All things, from fire, born of steel.

Although the truth of the world has been forgotten by most, there are still some knowledgeable people who know the original origin of this world.

The flames burning in the chaos shape the concept of existence, and the endless and diverse worlds are born from this, and the ashes after the chaos is burned are the steel of origin, which gave birth to all life.

In ancient times, people believed that life is the power of steel, and the body is also forged by 'steel'.

Therefore, the power of steel is contained in the body of every living being. The stronger the innate vitality and the larger the creature, the more "steel" it contains in the body, and the stronger it is. For example, the dragon, as the most powerful innate life force. One, the power of steel in their bodies is undoubtedly the most.

And conversely, the power of steel can also be fed back to the flesh, making it more resilient.

Through rituals, prayers, inspiration from the forerunners, stimulation of life and death, etc., human ancestors in ancient times successfully awakened the power of steel in their bodies, and became a power that is active, masterable, and tempered, and this is The original origin of the warrior profession.

Theoretically speaking, no matter how weak a person is, it is possible to awaken their power, but if they are too weak, they will die in the process of awakening, so a fighter must be a strong and powerful person.

In ancient times, it was a long and meaningless thing to improve strength only by one's own hard work and exercise. For the vast majority of warriors, they had always hunted and killed monsters, bathed in their blood, and devoured their flesh. , using this most barbaric and oldest method to plunder the power in other living beings.

A true warrior will hunt down the most powerful beasts, gain the most powerful power, and forge his own legend.

That is - dragon.

Legend has it that bathing in the blood of a dragon can make a warrior's body invulnerable and give him a long life.

This is of course not a lie, but an exact fact. Killing a dragon and plundering its life force will naturally allow a warrior to make great progress, obtain far greater physical strength and endurance than other equals, and obtain a longer life span.

Of course, this is also the most difficult move. Among a million warriors, not one may be able to do it. The toughness of the dragon scale armor is comparable to the most powerful magic armor, and the sharpness of the minions is almost indestructible. The strong vitality allows them to fight back even when they are seriously injured to death. Coupled with the crucial attribute of being able to fly flexibly, it magnifies the difficulty of slaying dragons several times.

Dragon slaying has always been the culmination of legends, it is the most favorite thing of the bards, and it is also the thing that the people talk about the most. This is enough to see the difficulty of slaying a dragon. The cooperation of four people and the cooperation of multiple professions weaken the power of the dragon while strengthening their own ability. After a long battle, these terrifying giant beasts can be killed.

Joshua naturally knew this - because this was the official explanation of leveling up and the profession of warrior made by the game official in his previous life. In the world view of the entire Continent of Disputes, the act of killing can gain power, while Slaying dragons has additional benefits.

The blood of different dragon species has different effects, and the dragon blood of star realm dragons and original realm dragons is also quite different, but as far as Joshua is concerned, the blood of the northern white dragon killed by him Dragon blood can improve part of his physical fitness and strengthen his skin and muscle strength, which is equivalent to a self-contained armor. In addition, the warrior can also gain at least a medium-level resistance to ice attributes.

In the dragon's nest that was gradually collapsing, Joshua grabbed the still beating heart of the dragon with one hand, and without any hesitation, he tore it apart neatly. Immediately, blue-cold blood flowed on the powerful heart of the dragon. It spewed out under pressure, covering its whole body.

Not all dragon blood can increase physical fitness. For a golden warrior like Joshua, even if the blood of a low-level dragon is used as water, it can only increase some physical endurance. Only advanced dragon blood has certain effects.

This giant dragon is the largest, strongest, and most powerful of all dragons. As long as it is bathed in the most essential blood in its heart, other dragon blood will be useless.

The icy blue liquid does not have any foul smell, but has a cool breath like ice. The temperature is obviously below zero, but the blood that has not condensed contains a lot of magic power and life force. Joshua stood in the dragon In front of his heart, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the continuous gushing out of dragon blood. At the same time, he was also running the steel armor breathing method to absorb the power contained in it.

The breathing method is a secret method gradually explored by ancient human sages. It can strengthen the warrior's use of energy in the world, hone his body, and mobilize the hidden power. This allows many people who are not physically strong to gradually become stronger. Get strong, and then truly awaken the fighting spirit, instead of dying on the way to the trial. Running it at this time can speed up the speed at which Joshua absorbs the power of the dragon's blood, and can also quickly increase the level of this breathing method.

The speed at which the Dragon Nest collapsed was getting faster and faster. Originally, it was only some fragmentary ice cubes falling, but now it was the entire face of the huge ice wall that collapsed. With the collapse of the pillars in the upper part of the Dragon Nest, the entire first half collapsed. The first floor has been turned into ruins, thus speeding up the collapse of the second floor.

At this time, the warrior's skin covered by dragon blood and the muscles under it became stronger and stronger in the gradually transmitted cool breath. As the dragon blood continued to flow, the cool breath became colder and gradually penetrated into the bones. As if to completely freeze the body of the soldier.

This is a side effect of bathing in dragon blood. At the same time, if you absorb a large amount of external power, you will be eroded by this power. In the previous life, Joshua bathed in the blood of a fire dragon. At that time, what he felt was that his whole body seemed to be burning violently. Pain.

But this side effect is completely irrelevant. How could a warrior who can slay a dragon be unable to resist the power of his defeated opponent? Therefore, as Joshua's fighting spirit circulated, the icy cold breath continued to fade away, and instead transformed into a fiery vitality. It surged through the muscles, muscles, bones and joints of the warrior's body, rapidly raising all Physical fitness and flexibility of parts.

This feeling is like wearing a set of weightless invisible armor. While not affecting the sensitivity, it also greatly enhances the flexibility of the whole body. In addition, the strength has also increased a lot.

"It feels good."

Sensing that the blood in the dragon's heart was gradually drying up, Joshua opened his eyes. At the same time, a large piece of sharp ice fell from the dome above his head and hit him like a wave hitting a rock. Was smashed to pieces.

At this time, the warrior's body was covered with light blue magic power crystals, which were impurities that could not be absorbed in the dragon's blood, but they could also be used as ordinary magic power crystals.

Joshua shook his body, and the finely controlled vibration swept across his whole body. Suddenly, all the crystals were turned into powder, and then melted into pure magic power, returning to the heaven and earth.

"The sense of enhancement is quite obvious. This giant dragon is not bad. If it is outside, it can fly as it pleases, and maybe it can last a little longer. I can't pull it down to the ground and hit it."

Smiling and nodding, Joshua was indeed in a good mood because his own strength had become stronger. He didn't care about the Dragon Nest that was about to completely collapse, but instead opened the long-lost system character card panel.

He looked at his character card.

Seeing this, Joshua couldn't help frowning.

But at this moment, the Dragon's Nest completely collapsed, accompanied by a huge roar, and the continuously pouring cold ice completely submerged the soldier and everything around him.
