Soul of Burning Steel

The extraterrestrial monster, a terrifying existence that suddenly appeared on the continent of Ilgna two hundred and forty-five years ago.

Like meteors and meteorites, they suddenly appeared along with a huge magic circle covering the sky like ten circles of light. In the early days of their arrival, due to the meteor-like appearance, they were called the People of the Stars by all the elves in awe. It is intended to be used as a sacrificial object.

But it turns out that the name was way too wrong.

These bloodless and tearless monsters that take pleasure in killing look like humanoid puppets or beasts made of gray rocks. They have extremely hard shells with a certain degree of magic resistance. In the early days of their arrival, they were indeed like a huge meteorite. But after the body surface cooled down, these monsters, which were later called stone demons by the elves, would start to move, hunting all flesh and blood.

Back then, in the first week of the advent, more than half a million people were killed by these monsters that descended from the sky. Due to the long time, there is no existing data as evidence, but the academic circles believe that this number will only increase. Few, because the remains of several cities and a large number of bones prove the credibility of this guess.

The attacks of these extraterrestrial monsters further pushed the last elf dynasty into a desperate situation. Years later, the continuous rebel army and the new Gulf Federation finally overthrew it completely, but the threat of stone demons has not been eliminated, and even intensified. more intense.

"My God, this amount!"

Looking at the sky, the defenders in the city couldn't help gasping, and one person couldn't help muttering: "It's a legion-level invasion! The mother tree is on top, this time it's a whole army of monsters! Compared to the last time in Cold Wind Valley, And more!"

Most of the soldiers who were picked to deal with the Volcano Dragon incident were veterans. They naturally knew about the Battle of Cold Wind Valley three years ago, and many of them even participated in it personally—that invasion almost destroyed a large fortress city of the Federation. Yu Yi, but even so, hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, and hundreds of miles around were turned into a piece of scorched earth ruins, and everyone couldn't help shivering.

And the command center was also in chaos. In their light curtain, the sky above the Babel Province was ablaze, and countless meteors rained down, dragging red tracks in the midair.

"Fortunately, the people were evacuated before..."

A certain commander was having fun while staring at the red light curtain in front of him. Although his mood was as bad as eating shit, he still shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of people will die in this celebration. Even millions of people."

In the research institute of the Ministry of Technology in the distance, countless technicians are urgently measuring the trajectory of the meteorite, and finally came to an astonishing conclusion: "30% of the stone demons will descend around the capital of Babel Province, and the shock waves and explosions will Destroy a third of the building!"

"The estimated economic loss is 19 million Kintala, and the death toll exceeds 120,000...Fortunately, most of the people have entered the shelters, otherwise it would have at least doubled."

No one thinks about how to stop it, because in terms of the current technical capabilities of the Gulf Federation, they are unable to effectively intercept any objects in the sky. The newly developed airship can only perform the task of suppressing the ground. We can wait for the stone demon to fall to the ground before talking.

In the capital, the original troops were prepared to prevent the impact, and the people accelerated their speed to enter the surrounding basements and houses. The distance to the refuge was too far, so they had to find a place to deal with it.

Just a few breaths, the world seems to be doomed, and panic spreads.

"Normin, don't stay there!"

In the shadow of Ryoma's huge body, the elf couple were calling for their child loudly. They eagerly hoped that the boy standing by the giant beast's claw would come quickly and hide in the surrounding basement with them.

And the boy named Nuo Ermin looked at Hei who was looking up at the sky with some hesitation, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Well, I'll come right away!"

As he said that, he turned his head, touched Longma's huge paw with some nostalgia, and said regretfully, "It's so warm... Ma, you must be careful, the meteorites in the sky are terrible, don't get hurt."

The boy always thought that the giant beast in front of him was a horse, just like the one his grandfather used to ride. He didn't understand dragons or anything, but it must be a horse anyway, but it was a bit big!

After finishing speaking, Nuoermin quickly ran towards his parents who came to meet him, and was grabbed by his father neatly and held under his arm.

"Roar……"

When the boy and their parents completely took refuge in the basement of the surrounding buildings, Hei let out a low moan, and then focused on looking at the sky.

In the sky, the clouds were separated layer by layer, and the meteorites fell down with the momentum of destroying everything. Gao Tian was dyed red by the flames, covering the sky like a blood-like color.

It's really thick, this chaotic atmosphere... is it the enemy of the master?

The dragon horse thought with some nostalgia that the last time it encountered this kind of breath was during the Kuroshio tide years ago. At that time, it was just an ordinary war horse with a trace of ground dragon blood. The momentum was a little unbearable.

Although it didn't have much wisdom at that time, its humiliation and resentment still persists to this day. It betrayed its master's trust and hated its own powerlessness. That's why it tried its best and wanted to awaken a stronger bloodline.

So, it's not the same anymore.

Running, came to the square in the city center, the deserted square was full of fallen flags, tables and chairs, and the belongings left behind by countless people when they left in a panic. Standing in the very center of this wide area, Hei let out a low growl. , closing the golden longan eyes, the ancient blood from the ancient past is boiling in the body, impatiently burning all the enemies to ashes.

As a result, red streamers began to emerge from the body of this huge dragon beast, lava-like patterns flowed in the black carapace, and a powerful coercion agitated between light and dark.

Originating from Hei's body, the fire element, so hot and thick that it seemed to be condensed into substance, appeared from the atmosphere. It turned into layers of fire clouds, surrounding it, and dark red arcs continuously flowed from here. Shot out of the cloud, it brought out a gale that was strong enough to melt steel, and the high temperature that burned the river instantly turned everything on the square into ashes.

The fire ignited, as if the stars had fallen to the ground.

"Warning! There is a high-energy reaction in the central square! Repeat, there is a high-energy reaction in the central square!"

"Is it the volcano dragon? What does it want to do..."

Immediately, a rapid and piercing siren rang through all the command rooms that were observing the meteors in the sky. They looked at the rapidly rising data in the light curtain in astonishment: "20,000, 30,000, 40,000... the energy level is 80,000 Three thousand? Still rising rapidly?!"

"Unbelievable, this energy!"

"The temperature is unpredictable, and the magic circle is damaged due to excessive load?!"

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"etc!"

A researcher seemed to have discovered something, he looked at the light curtain seriously, and then said in shock: "It is going to attack the stone demon's meteor?!

A heat wave swept across the entire city, and the intense flames shone like the sun. In just a few seconds, the wide square turned into a pool of lava. The golden-red light could no longer be seen directly at this moment, and the observation circles spread all over the surroundings one after another. All of them collapsed due to violent elemental fluctuations, leaving only a few of the most complicated and powerful magic circles to witness the next scene.

The meteorite from the sky roared and fell to the ground. It was a force that no city wall could stop. The aura of chaos spread, as if it wanted to destroy everything.

And above the ground, amidst the fierce flames and elemental clouds, a high-pitched dragon chant sounded. The voice was full of majesty from ancient times, disgust for chaos and anticipation for battle. In the stunned gazes of the commander and researchers who were still observing, three light spots lit up in the cloud of fire. They were a pair of golden dragon pupils and a dazzling core. The sun-like glare, the golden core seemed to be boiling, and the descendant of the ancient dragon used his full strength for the first time.

"Roar----------"

Accompanied by the dragon's chant, a beam of light that couldn't find any adjectives other than bright and dazzling rose from the center of the city and shot straight into the sky. It hit a falling meteorite in an instant.

Then, a sound ten times louder than thunder appeared in the sky above Babel Province.

The clouds in the sky were swept away in an instant, the red light in the sky was completely covered, and only a complete golden white could be seen in the observation circle. After that, everyone was shocked to find that the number of people in the original direction Nearly a hundred, or even more meteorites have all disappeared, and the sky is blank, leaving nothing behind.

"Stone... Thirty-seven percent of the stone demon's meteorites have been wiped out, and it is estimated that all the stone demons that fell on the capital of Babel province will be wiped out!"

"The energy level of the blow just now exceeded 150,000, which is equivalent to ten super-large mana furnace cores running at full capacity. Is this really a living thing?!"

And the Grand Commander stared at this scene in his own airship office, and he didn't close his eyes even when the glare of the bright light came in bursts.

"fortunately……"

His hands trembled a little, and the red-haired elf took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. This is a smoke-shaped stimulant made from psychic refreshment grass. He has been using this since Urken often felt weak five years ago. A product that stays awake in situations like this one.

Taking a deep breath, Urken closed his eyes and calmed down for a while. Then he realized that his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. The ten seconds just now were probably the most exciting scene in his life. Seventy years ago, as the leader of the rebel army who overthrew the last elf dynasty, he was assassinated at home by five shadow assassins.

"Even if it really detonated the volcano, we'd better not do anything..." Breathing out a circle of smoke, he whispered to himself, "What's more, it might not be it."

"Fortunately...we were cautious not to attack."

On the side, Director Luo La said in a trembling tone that he was almost paralyzed now, only one hand was left on the armrest of the chair, maintaining his sitting posture, although his image was embarrassing, But the silver-haired and purple-eyed director of the Institute of Biology is very fortunate: "If this blow hits not the sky, but the city..."

He didn't continue with the next words, because everyone knew what the consequences would be. It was a loss that no elf or any city could bear.

And in the center of the square, Hei was panting violently.

The dense fog of the fire element is gradually dissipating, the lava pattern on the black carapace of the dragon horse is gradually fading, and the golden core on the chest is also slightly dimmed.

Even if it is a high-level golden ancient dragon bloodline, such a blow is beyond its load. This is also because it is the first time to make a move after the advanced level. The power poured out, leaving no energy left.

However, it seems that the effect is not bad. Such power should be able to help the master.

Looking at the sky, Ryoma nodded. Although some meteorites were still falling, none of them fell in the direction of the city. This was enough for Hei who was taught to protect the city.

In the square, because of the loss of the support of the surging high-heat elements, the lava is rapidly condensing, and a large amount of heat is recovered by the black, but at this time, it has some strange discoveries that the elements in the atmosphere are extremely thin.

— This is not normal.

Hei couldn't help being a little puzzled. You know, when it was at the Sigma Volcano, it felt that the elements were very thick. The concentration and energy level should be equal, and it is precisely because of this that it can quickly absorb power and become stronger there.

But now... the elements in the air seem to be being extracted by something, and they are passing away bit by bit. As the blood of ancient dragons, dragon horses are far more sensitive to elements than most living things, and elves cannot compare with it at all. , and only pure energy life can be compared with it. It can be sure that the elements in the atmosphere are slowly passing away. If they dissipate at this speed, maybe this world will become a forbidden area for magic in a few decades. Only using magic crystals Rune circles of energy or the power of the world itself can work.

And it can also be determined that the energy level of this world was originally similar to that of the Mycroft Continent, but it has become the current situation because of the passage of many years.

Of course, it doesn’t care about this little bit of blackness, but now it can’t recover its physical strength quickly because of this. This feeling is really too sad, and it groaned angrily. Last bouts of powerlessness.

Creatures such as monsters and dragons are too powerful, so they will also be restricted by the environment. Hei slowly lay on the ground, entrenched his body in the center of the square like a dragon.

It now feels that it urgently needs to rest, or at least regain enough physical strength to move.

In the research room, discussions came.

"Are you a little tired?"

"For sure, the limit energy level of the blow just now exceeded 100,000, even if it is a real biovolcano, it must go dormant for a while."

"So, shall we take this opportunity..."

A researcher thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "Take it..."

But what he said behind was blocked immediately, because more than a dozen people in the whole research room stared at him silently, as if they were looking at a mentally retarded person.

"Are you an idiot?"

Immediately, merciless reprimands swarmed in: "It's just luck that it doesn't attack us. What do you want to do?"

"It just destroyed the Stone Demon's meteorite, and it did so in an extremely violent way—this proves that it and the Stone Demon are in opposition. An enemy's enemy is a friend. Don't you understand?"

"Mother tree, let me just say this. Except for a few weapons that are currently being secretly developed by the Federation, all other active equipment is almost impossible to cause damage to the Volcano Dragon. Don't even think about extra thoughts."

In the center of the square, Hei, who was being discussed by everyone, completely closed his golden eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

But at the same time, an extremely huge will, like the incarnation of the earth, the great will of the origin of life, also came here because of the violent energy fluctuations that had never appeared in this world before.

"This is……"

In the void, the huge will slowly observed Ryoma's body: "The blood of the black dragon... the deep sea volcano, the incarnation of the fire in the water, how could its descendants appear in this world..."

It seemed to be a little puzzled: "For more than a thousand years, since I left, I have never heard from my hometown... Where did this little guy come from?"

Although I can't think of the reason, this will is still very happy to meet a familiar existence: "The concentration of elements in the atmosphere is too low, causing physical discomfort? This is my fault... then I will give you strength."

With a thought of this will, extremely thick elements appeared around the black body, and Ryoma was suddenly awakened. It looked around in surprise, and the magic power and elemental light surrounded its body like a rainbow. The power of the elements is even denser.

--what happened?

Although I don't know exactly what's going on, but Hei is still a horse—or a dragon—anyway, it never gets entangled in such trivial matters, but happily absorbs these elements to restore its physical strength.

——However, these elements seem to have a little fragrance of grass and trees?

In just a few breaths, Hei recovered his basic physical strength, and the golden core on his chest also returned to its original brilliance. The researchers in the institute who watched this scene were immediately more thankful that they hadn't done anything before—this speed of recovery , I'm afraid the other party would have recovered to full strength if the car hadn't even had time to drive past.

The great will watched this scene, and then slowly disappeared into the void.

It also needs to be dormant. The severe wound a thousand years ago has not yet healed. It is an exception to see a familiar existence appearing once. The next time it appears in this world again, it may take a long time.

And the sky is slowly rotating, and the ten-ring halo magic circle covering the entire sky is gradually disappearing behind the sky. Its appearance is as mysterious as its disappearance, without any sound or omen.

The affairs of the world of Ilgna came to an end for the time being, and in the Mycroft Continent, the Northern Empire, and the Holy City of Three Mountains.

Joshua and Brandon have come to the very center of the inner city, the royal residence, before the Morlaix Palace.

The world view is gradually unfolding...Ask for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month

So, I have more than 4,5000 in one chapter, which is actually not too small. I hate that one chapter is divided into two chapters, so it seems that the frequency is very small, but the amount is sufficient!

Also, happy new year everyone, new year and new atmosphere, the draw cards are all Europeans!
