Soul of Burning Steel

Facing the fierce and earth-shattering battle outside the city, while the elves in the city felt sincere fear, they also harbored a trace of deep hatred and helplessness in their hearts.

This is their world, their country, logically speaking, they should personally defend their own city, their own hometown, even if they die in battle, they will get what they want.

But now, they shrank in shame in the underground shelter, waiting tremblingly for the strange outsider to return victoriously, or for the soles of the rock giants to crush them—whether it is fighting, escaping or dying, the right to choose and decide, None of them are in their hands.

And in the center of the city, in a spacious room of the city hall, countless elves stared at the huge light screen in midair, holding their breath, looking at the blurry scene above.

In the eyes of many elves, the mist in the light screen is dissipating layer by layer under the action of some kind of force, even the dark clouds are becoming thinner, the thunder, heavy rain and haze disappeared in a few seconds, revealing the bright The stars and the night sky.

But what they paid attention to was not this, but the center of the light curtain, the 'mountain' with a hint of metallic light on the outside.

This 'mountain' is hundreds of meters high, and its body is extremely huge. It is covered with strange and hideous eyes, surrounded by blue thunder light, and the mountain is full of strange and distorted runes. It makes people feel strong malice and discomfort.

Now, the mountain peak was trembling non-stop, and the whole body released subtle thunder and shocks, and it was this force that knocked away the clouds and mist, revealing the night sky.

Looking at this scene, a middle-aged elf sitting in the front row trembled all over his body. Even through the light screen, he felt a deep chill. The elf closed his eyes and muttered to himself in a low voice and despair. : "Integrating into one body, the Stone Demons still have this kind of means... Was the previous battle with us all child's play?"

For those soldiers who risked their lives and souls to defend their homeland, is the reason for victory just because the enemy doesn't care?

Because of the previous fog, the elves did not see the scene where the rock giants merged into one body, but based on the previous movements, anyone could guess a rough idea, but also because of the viewing angle, he also did not see the warriors rushing into the mountain. Among them, they thought that Joshua had escaped, or simply died.

Even such a powerful existence could not be defeated. Thinking of this, an invisible fear suddenly spread in the room. The huge pressure was like a stubborn stone, stuck in the throats of everyone present, making them unable to speak. , a younger-looking elf smiled miserably and took out a gun from his waist, ready to give himself a quick and easy pleasure. Although his behavior was stopped by his companions in an instant, the heavier pressure imposed on everyone.

"What the hell is this?!"

Someone struggled and roared with a voice that was suppressed to the limit: "Why——this kind of monster appears in our world?!"

He is asking.

But no one answered.

A hopeless silence drowned everything.

Until the sky once again shone with light.

The night sky is illuminated by red light, and the darkness is torn apart by it, but what this brings is not the radiance of hope, but the poisonous fire of hell. Under the numb gaze of all the elves, a magic circle composed of ten light wheels Appeared in the sky of this world again, as if a colossal monster projected from outside the world brought continuous meteorites.

And this time, the places where they fell were no longer the barren suburbs and jungles, but the capital of the Babel Province——

central.

Hei sensed the change in the sky, and the half-dragon groaned, spraying beams of beams from the core of his chest with all his strength, destroying the meteorite, but its power has a limit, and the number of meteorites is endless. After several minutes of struggling to intercept, the first meteorite that successfully fell finally hit the east side of the provincial capital.

The flaming boulder dragging its long tail flame spun and hit a tall building. In an instant, the tall building turned into debris all over the sky, and countless smoke and dust floated up. The strong wind of the tornado blows away everything on the street.

The fire spread rapidly, and with the strong wind, it swept across half the city in an instant, and the terrifying vibrations endangered the underground shelter. All the lights in the underground dimmed and went out in an instant. The shelter seemed to be a hell of wailing and crying. Countless people panicked and wanted to leave this dangerous place that could collapse at any time as soon as possible, but they found in despair that all the entrances and exits of the shelter had collapsed. This huge underground space is extremely solid, even so it didn't collapse, but they couldn't get out in any way.

If there is the first one, there will be the second, the third, and the fourth. Even if Hei exerts all his strength, he can only smash dozens of meteorites, but now there are more than a few dozen stone demons falling from the sky. ? Lolanda stood beside him, wanting to help the half-dragon, but he was only a paladin after all, and even Joshua couldn't stop so many meteorites, let alone him.

Therefore, under the helpless and angry gaze of one person and one dragon, meteorites hit the city one after another, and the fire spread rapidly, instantly turning the whole city into a sea of ​​flames.

City, destroyed.

And it doesn't just happen in one place.

In the nine major provinces of the federation, where every big city is located and where many lives gather, meteorites appear as if punished by heaven, and it accurately bombards the most densely populated places. Only the central district of the federation uses a Using an advanced experimental technology, some kind of magic energy barrier with deflection function resisted such an onslaught.

In just a few minutes, the number of victims in the Gulf Federation exceeded one million, or even more. Others were just living in shelters. It was enough to make people numb, and what was even more frightening was that the stone demons were still descending continuously, as if they would not stop until they completely killed all life.

In the province of Babel, countless rock puppets slowly stood up from the burning pit. The light in the eyes of their heads was inconstant, and they seemed to be judging the situation through the magic circle in their heads. The golden thread hangs down and hits the ground, producing endless vibrations and smoke.

It takes months to build a house, years to build a city, and hundreds of thousands of years to form a country through the efforts of several generations.

And to destroy them—it only takes a few seconds.

Above the sky, the extremely mysterious light wheel rotates slowly. No one knows its origin, and no one knows what kind of secret lies behind it. Apart from sending down stone demons and destroying all life, no one can see its other purpose .

Or maybe just plain destruction.

Under the light of the light wheel, the puppet-like army of stone demons wiped out everything. They stepped forward in unison. The ground trembled under the footsteps of these monsters, and from time to time, a group of stone demons regrouped into giant stone giants. .

In less than ten minutes, the originally peaceful elf city turned into a foreign world.

And at the top of the hill near the Thunder Mountain, the half-dragon and the paladin gritted their teeth watching the scene in the city, their eyes glaring, their fists clenched until their knuckles turned white, if they weren't worried about Joshua's safety, And if you need to be alert to the rock giants around Thunder Mountain, they may have already returned to the city to wipe out those stone demons who have just arrived and are wantonly destroying and killing.

In fact, the life and death of the elves in this world has nothing to do with them. Whether they are dead or alive is not important. Among them, there are no friends of half-dragons and paladins. Not to mention that everyone has a problem.

They shouldn't be so angry - they should be.

But anger doesn't make sense.

Hei roared, his voice was full of fury, and his pupils seemed to be burning with golden flames. Although the half-dragon hadn't been with this group of elves for a long time, he found these people very interesting. They respected themselves very much, and they even counted as Above all, they respect themselves as the existence that has helped them.

The kindness of people around will eventually make intelligent life happy.

Moreover, it also remembered the elf child who was not afraid of it, and the white-haired old man with a strange voice. The fire and the stone demons raged, destroying everything.

The paladin was unexpectedly calm. He had already vented his anger when talking to Joshua before. Although his heart was full of anger now, he knew what he should do now.

This civilization with elves as the main race is now being attacked by unknown evil gods, and besides the known [Famine God], [Plague God] and [Abyss], this is the fourth one that has actually appeared, not just The forces of chaos in the historical records knew nothing about this terrifying existence, but because of the closure of the space-time channel, they had to face the opposing army directly—their situation was far more dangerous than imagined.

"Now, it's up to Joshua."

Clenching his fists tightly, Lolanda stared at the trembling Thunder Mountain, and said in a deep voice, "If he can get rid of this big guy, then everything will be fine."

Otherwise, no one would be able to escape from that terrifying firepower net.

And among the mountains.

Joshua, who was being discussed by others, shuttled through the huge blood vessels made of rocks.

It is not so much a blood vessel as it is a line. In this slightly metalized mountain peak, there are huge caves and tunnels, in which there are countless mist-like magic power flowing rapidly. Joshua walked through the flow of magic power, Head towards the core of the Thunder Mountain.

Along the way, he saw countless complicated magic power runes flashing on the stone wall of the cave in a mysterious trajectory. The soldier only took a look, and found that there were such things as [Activation of Life], [Thunder God Rune], [Assimilation] and [ Indestructible Barriers] are extremely cherished, and they are even regarded as secret high-level runes on the Mycroft Continent.

The more he looked, the heavier Joshua's heart became.

The evil god of famine was born from the remains of the group of crystal insect Ulmades, which gathered the resentment that the world was devoured. Although it is unbelievable, it is easy to understand. Most of the evil gods and chaos monsters were born in this way. , They are derived from the wreckage of order, the realm after death, and they are monsters that are absolutely not recognized by the world.

But—looking forward, there are more and more, almost endless magic lines covering the inside of the Mountain of Thunder, and the misty magic glow even makes tiny thunderbolts appear in the air. These thunderbolts are like nerves, A large amount of information is transmitted at the speed of light, allowing the core to control such a huge body like Thunder Mountain.

Magic is the condensation of wisdom. What exactly is this chaos? The technology contained in it may be inferior to the highest level of the Mycroft Continent!

Sensing the concentration of magic power around him, Joshua's face was heavy. Now he is only a few seconds away from the core of the Thunder Mountain, but the journey is so smooth that the soldiers can't help but raise their vigilance. The enemy's strength and technology are far away. Exceeding his expectations, Joshua did not believe that an enemy of this level would be unaware.

Turning a corner, there is no way, but the warrior can feel that behind the stone wall in front is his target, the energy core of Thunder Mountain.

But just as the soldier expected, as he moved forward, the infinite magic power gathered together with the thunder, forming a dazzling light group. This light group has a roughly human shape, with liquid plasma flowing around it, At that moment, it rushed towards the warrior. This thunder figure has high-level golden power, and it has no entity, and its speed is almost teleported. Fighters hit in the face.

Why each stone giant is considered a different race will have to wait for a later setting.
