Soul of Burning Steel

The Great Plain of the Black Sea is vast and desolate. It used to be the bottom of a sea. The remains and bones of countless creatures have accumulated here for hundreds of millions of years. Then as the sea dries up, it forms a gray and cracked wasteland. But in this dry land On top of it, from time to time, high-temperature steam mixed with underground sulfur sprays out from the cracks. It rises from the depths of the ground, and then mixes with the particles in the clouds to form turbid acid water, which turns into rain and falls.

This acid rain is enough to corrode steel and melt rocks, but right now, there is a black army marching amidst the loud noise.

That's an army of demons.

At the forefront of this army of nearly 10,000 demons, there are more than 4,000 little demons forward. These low-level demons are only half a person tall and covered in black scales. At first glance, they seem to be somewhat similar to small gargoyles—sharp claws , pointed horns and bat-like wings, but they are much weaker than those powerful alchemy creations. This group of little demons pushed forward with no formation at all, making disturbing noises as they walked, and the acid rain flowed down their bodies to the ground, but there was no trace of corrosion, because the demons that could not adapt to the acid had already died. The worm dies just as it hatches.

Immediately afterwards, there was a frenzied roar, monsters that were more than ten times stronger than little devils, they had a strong body of about two to three meters, and their swollen muscles and throbbing veins seemed to be able to move their entire body. The black carapace exploded, and this type of mid-level demon, which is usually called a berserker, has a pair of underdeveloped wings on its back, which look like festering sarcoma. When these wings are fully unfolded, it is advanced. When it comes to high-level winged demons, they are also the protagonists of most of the legends about demons. Many demon warlocks will choose to summon a high-potential berserker as their initial demon.

This kind of mid-level demon with infinite strength and good at close combat is the main force of this black army. In addition, there are some scattered and distorted monsters mixed in it, such as insect demons with multiple limbs like sharp blades. , an acid monster like a slime monster, a beholder who is good at casting spells, and an extremely tall war beast that is nearly five stories high.

This is probably all the property that a demon lord has accumulated for many years. Now, they are marching fast, and the scattered teams are forcibly integrated by the winged demons as officers holding long whips. After their chaotic nature is suppressed by pure violence , The demon army showed amazing efficiency, they advanced hundreds of kilometers in just a few hours, and rushed towards the predetermined assembly point.

But then, they stopped in their tracks, and even the Winged Demons who were the supervisors froze in place, instead of beating those of the same kind that were not moving forward with barbed iron whips.

because the sky is burning,

When the coat of arms of the hand holding the sword appeared in the sky, almost all the demons in the Great Plains of the Black Sea saw this dazzling mark formed by the flames. Supported by a force, the golden-red flames maintained their complete form for a few seconds , and then slowly disintegrated, large swathes of scattered flames spread towards the surrounding black acidic clouds, and in just an instant, most of the sky changed into a burning sea of ​​flames, and even thunder and lightning could be seen spreading in it.

Unlike the low-level demons who have no wisdom at all, after seeing the coat of arms in the sky, all the middle-level and high-level demons fell into shock and confusion. They clearly understood that the coat of arms was probably the one from the outside. The means used by the Balrog and the Demon Blood Dragon to demonstrate their strength and demonstrate against all local demon forces. Such arrogance and arrogance are indeed worthy of the names of the Balrog and the Giant Dragon.

I have to say that although it is clichéd, it is really effective. Seeing the sky that has been reddened by the flames and then extinguished after a long time, many monsters and wandering demons scattered in the Black Sea and Great Plains made strange screams, Then stay away from the direction where the coat of arms appeared as much as possible. The little demons in the army tried to escape one after another, and the berserkers were also restless. Although they were ferocious and cruel, it did not mean they were stupid. Dragons, even the local demon lords have to do their best to deal with them, not to mention them as cannon fodder.

The demons at the bottom will panic because of the strength of the enemy, but for the controller of this army, the Great Corruption Demon Carlo, the stronger the enemy is, the sooner he should kill him. Originally, he was worried about the black sea and the great plain. Other lords may not take action for this Balrog, but it is different now. Faced with this alien Balrog whose strength may approach the king level, any demon lord will be more vigilant, and then excitedly team up with other demons to fight against the Balrog. It kills and eats the opponent's body and soul fragments.

"Act quickly!"

Standing on the special seat of the War Horror Beast, the huge liquid demon in the center of the army ejected a few acid tentacles like jellyfish, and 'swallowed' several berserkers who hesitated and seemed to be planning to escape. After that, A few huge bubbles emerged from Carlo's body, and the deep and violent shouts of orders spread throughout the entire army as the bubbles burst. After a while, the demon team stopped due to the Fire Emblem and started again like this, heading towards the tattoo. Move rapidly in the direction where the chapter appears.

Apart from their army, there are three other demonic teams of the same number that are encircling the same target from different angles.

And in the very center surrounded by all the demon armies, the Balrog and the black dragon who were running all the way stopped under the order of the soldiers, and the cone-shaped dust mist slowly fell behind them, and the earth-shattering momentum gradually calmed down.

"Almost enough."

After roughly estimating the time, the soldier nodded slightly. He looked around the vast and desolate plain, and said firmly, "With such a big battle, as long as the surrounding demon lords are not blind and deaf, they will definitely come to attack us."

Each layer of abyss is a different world, and the habits and types of demons living in each layer are mostly different. Some are insidious and cunning, laying conspiracy traps, some are chaotic, and there is no order and reason at all. Even gods, It may not be possible to tell exactly how many kinds of demons there are in the endless abyss, but Joshua can confirm what kind of habits the demons in the sixth layer of abyss have.

That is the general mode of action similar to a hive.

The sixth abyss, the molten sea and fire prison, is one of the main forces of the abyss army that invaded the Mycroft continent in the previous life. Compared with other abyss, it is almost an invasion operation with no tactics at all. They are particularly conspicuous. Although they are equally chaotic and difficult to control their instinctive destructive impulses, they can at least form a team and plunder as a group.

With the queen bee who controls the center of the gold, the great demon or the demon lord of the ultimate level, the middle and high-level demon officers are the nerves that give orders, and the chaotic low-level demons can exert far more power than they alone. In addition, they even have hatching worm demons, a logistics unit that specializes in cultivating low-level demons. The order of this division of labor can be said to be the clear stream among a group of chaotic lunatics.

In the abyss, this kind of control is even stronger. The demon lords use their own fortress hive as a stronghold to separate pieces of land and compete with each other to attack each other. However, when facing powerful outsiders, these lords will temporarily join forces. Uncertain external factors are eliminated.

Joshua didn't know the reason before, but now he understands that most of the demons in the sixth layer of abyss come from the mutated products of the bugman civilization seven thousand years ago. Under the twisted and evil appearance, they The life essence of the swarm is still somewhat similar to that of the swarm Zerg, and there is also an abyss lord who is the master of the hive in this world, which is why these chaotic demons actually have a certain concept of groups and territories.

At the same time, after running wildly for a long time, the Balrog, whose flames were about to be extinguished, limped to the feet of the black dragon. The voice asked the soldier: "Your Majesty, are you going to lay down a territory here?"

The Balrog didn't know what the warrior was thinking, but with the demon's simple thinking circuit, it easily came to such a conclusion—after all, a human came to the abyss with a Balrog, and provoked the surrounding locals so loudly. Demon lord, is there any other possibility besides wanting to lay down a territory? Using this demon as a cover to occupy a territory, His Majesty the King can easily collect all kinds of information in the Sixth Abyss.

While thinking about it, the Balrog couldn't help but nodded for his rare wisdom, and he liked the environment of the Black Sea and the Great Plains very much, because under the shallow crust, there were a large number of active magma areas, and all kinds of magma contained in the acid rain Toxin is also its favorite, if His Majesty wants to use this place as a base, then it absolutely agrees.

But to Balrog's disappointment, Joshua shook his head.

"Build a territory?" Looking down at the big demon at the bottom of the black dragon, he asked with some doubts: "Syndicate, why did you come to this conclusion?"

Afterwards, the soldier raised his head and stared at the end of the land in the distance. He said in a casual but flat tone that made the Balrog frightened: "My goal is to destroy all the demon forces here, and you are just to lure them." Here comes the bait."

"Okay, Syndicate, look up, they've arrived."

Hearing this, the great demon turned around slowly trembling. It raised its head and looked into the distance. In the unique thermal vision of the Balrog, strands of crimson light began to appear at the end of the earth. It was tens of thousands of people. Demon army, and there are four demon armies of the same size, and there are a few huge white light spots in each of them-no need to think about it, there is no doubt that it is a gold peak or It was the figure of the ultimate level demon lord who came in person.

In the abyss, demons can devour each other to gain strength. A Balrog, its highly poisonous body will be the delicacy of the Corrosion Demon, and the solid metal skeleton will be the best body material for the Blade Demon, even if it is a simple energy core. And soul fragments can also greatly enhance the essence of another great demon, making it have the potential to try to advance to the king.

In order to preserve the strength of his own world, the sixth-level abyss lord [Greedy Demon King Goliath] strictly forbids the local demon lords from engaging in large-scale internal fighting. A powerful foreign demon is these long-hungry demon lords Rare delicacy in the eyes.

so much? ! Even a king may not be able to defeat so many demon armies head-on!

The flames all over his body became dimmer in an instant, and Syndicate took a step back subconsciously. It is not that it has not fought other great demons before, but unlike the sixth abyss, the great demons in other abyss basically fight alone. Wouldn't bring tens of thousands of troops into battle, seeing the approaching claws, tentacles, solid carapace and flesh, the Balrog's body began to instinctively want to escape, but then it fell into despair—— Talking about it just accompanied a crazy black dragon on the plains for a long time, the energy in the body has been consumed for a long time, and more importantly, there is a legendary warrior standing on the black dragon!

Run, where can it go? It is also very hopeless!

Four different demon armies approached continuously, and with the heavy footsteps that shook the earth, the four demon lords led their troops to completely surround the warrior group. Tens of thousands of ferocious demons stared at their scarlet eyes, frantically Roaring some unclear sentences, after seeing the Balrog and the black dragon in front of them, they didn't pause at all, and they didn't negotiate and cooperate with each other at all, just obeying the cold orders of their lord, like a landslide and a tsunami Charge towards the goal!

"Your Majesty—Your Majesty!" Looking at this scene, even the Balrog, which is known for its ferocity, couldn't help but panic. It simply hid under the black dragon who was boringly drawing circles on the ground with its front paws, using the devil's unique In a muddy tone, he said in a panic: "I can't be the opponent of these demons—"

"Of course you are not an opponent like this."

Standing between the two horns of the black dragon, the warrior stomped his feet lightly, and the black immediately understood the meaning of his master. It stopped the small movements of its claws, then raised its head high, and let out a sound that shook the atmosphere, far better than the thunderous dragon At the same time, Joshua made a casual move, and the Balrog hiding under the black dragon involuntarily floated out of thin air, floating in front of the warrior as if he had lost gravity.

Looking at the Syndicate in front of him, Joshua smiled slightly. He raised his right hand and slowly grasped his five fingers. The hot and highly poisonous thick black liquid body of the Balrog began to tremble violently. This huge monster nearly five meters high Amidst the violent friction sound like metal twisting, it began to compress and deform rapidly. After a while, the Balrog's entire body turned into a simple-looking black giant sword.

The blade of this black giant sword is wriggling like a liquid, circles of golden-red flames reverberate around it, and a painful and distorted demon face is printed on the broad sword body, and the sound is constantly transmitted from its mouth. Howling in pain.

Randomly, the warrior stretched out his hand to hold it, and the black and red flames swallowed the entire sword body, and the violent and abundant energy poured in, instantly turning this plain black sword into a red flame sword like a balrog!

"But this way, you can beat it."

A demonic whisper came from the painful Balrog's ear. Joshua clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly, and immediately let out a more desperate wail.

"Black." He said to his mount. The flames were burning in Joshua's hands. The legendary warrior swung the giant sword in his hand, causing the red flames to form a conspicuous arc in the air. He said with a grinning grin: "Rush over!"

"Roar!"

Everything in the world can be a sword, grass and trees, tiles and stones, and flame demons
