Chapter 45: Go to Battle
Joshua looked at the rushing Aragami army in front of him with a little nostalgia, and the countless towering crystal carapaces reflected fine light, like a school of fish sparkling on the sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The scene in front of him flickered in his eyes, and faintly, the warrior's eyes seemed to be able to see two worlds.
A world where the sky burns, fiery red clouds swell in the sky, and howling winds blow across the earth, turning the solidified gray stone into lava again, and with a thunderous roar, demonic armies trample on the flowing magma and swarm like swarms.
In another world, the sky is dark, the earth is darkened by the clouds, above the sky, the sun will go out, the cold wind will sweep through everything, and the barren dust plains will set off a tornado of ashes, and the army of the Aragami will rush silently on the frozen earth, like a wave of death that engulfs everything.
In a moment's trance, the two worlds gradually overlapped, and Joshua seemed to feel that he was standing on the Naya fortress in the ruins of ashes, wearing rune armor and holding a pure gold sword, fighting side by side with his comrades in the warband, against the demon army coming from the abyss.
But the cold wind blew and woke him up.
As far as the eye could see, Aragami emerged from between cracks in the earth and told him that everything in the past was gone, and that this was not the world he had fought in, but a new battlefield.
"Hoo ......"
Joshua let out a deep breath, his eyes returned to clarity, he looked around, Moria, Cleel, and Rin all looked at him one by one, and the old dwarf and elf nodded, showing the weapons in their hands, indicating that they could fight at any time.
Nodding in response, Joshua knew that he was no longer a legendary warrior in that continent of discord.
Now, the head of House Radcliffe, the caretaker of Annihilation, he is in the end-of-life world of Karlis, standing on a mountain-like steel mobile fortress and facing an endless army of Aragami - and preparing for battle.
"Woooooooo
The fortress was still speeding forward, white mist gushing out, glowing with magical brilliance, and the rumble of steel overwhelmed all winds, and Aragami chased after it, pulling a long strip away.
Along the way, you can see the ruins of countless cities, and occasionally you can see some towering stone buildings that still retain the image of thousands of years ago, like a tall lighthouse not far away, its top still flashes a faint light, but now it is overwhelmed and swallowed by the rushing Aragami gods, and in the loud sound of collapse, it turns into dust.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
The projection of No. 3 appeared next to everyone again, and she said calmly: "Ahead is a hilly area, the speed of the fortress will slow down, some Aragami will catch up, I have an automatic rune defense system, but this is not a perfect defense, at that time, I hope you can help me drive these Aragami who have boarded the fortress down." ”
"And rightfully so."
Joshua naturally agreed to No. 3's request, he knew that the steel base of this fortress was already in ruins, which must have been left by the incessant battle with Aragami for nearly a thousand years, and the warriors also knew that No. 3 had its own means to deal with Aragami who boarded the fortress, but it would definitely have to suffer certain losses, they originally came out of the fortress in order to fight with Aragami, how could they refuse this request.
"Thank you very much."
Nodding slightly, the projection of No. 3 turned to look at Aragami's army and remained silent.
Soon after, a faint tremor was heard, and the fortress had reached the hilly area, moving at a noticeable slowing speed.
The Aragami of all shapes ran regardless of the terrain, their speed remained constant, and the army was rapidly approaching the fortress, and the front end of the black wave was even touching the tail of the steel base.
“10…… 8,7…… 5,4……”
Faintly, Qiao Xiu seemed to hear No. 3 whispering down to something, and the wings of the black-winged Callis Smart trembled, as if he was a little excited.
“3,2,1。”
At the end of the countdown, No. 3's expression began to become vivid, and the artificial intelligence, who had always been extremely calm and expressionless, as if she had no emotion at all, finally showed a smile, and she looked a little excited and whispered: "Attack ready!" ”
And with the command of this artificial intelligence that controls the entire fortress, countless dense weapon launches popped up around the fortress, and endless translucent magic circles like beehives appeared in front of it, completely enveloping the huge fortress like a city, and the center of each magic circle was condensing golden light.
"Glow Cluster Cannon - Full Launch!"
In the aimless driving for thousands of years, there is no goal for a long time, only the desire to destroy Chaos, the artificial intelligence laughs happily and laughs: "Go die!" Chaos! ”
With an order, the magic circle was retracted, and countless light bullets turned into a line, shooting directly into the array of the Aragami army, and the golden glow exploded in an instant, like a small sun, easily tearing through the pitch-black mist. In an instant, countless dazzling beams of light were derived, slicing through the chaotic army.
Rays of light flowed out of the circle, as fast as lightning, and they fluttered through a distance of thousands of meters, falling into the armies of Aragami who were still rushing, causing violent explosions again and again.
But how many Aragami there are? Although the attack of the fortress was powerful, it could not cause significant losses to the army of Aragami, and in the breath, in the rising black mist, the army that had been many empty was once again filled.
There was nothing unpleasant about No. 3's projection, she was used to fighting such an enemy with no upper limit, and Aragami's army was under intense bombardment, once again catching up with the steel base of the fortress, and even climbing up.
The AI shook its head and said softly, "Start." ”
"Boom ......"
Due to the manipulator's command, the low roar of steel moving friction was heard, and at the top of the huge steel pyramid, around the crystal sun, a dense steel tower rose, and the tower was surrounded by countless complex runes, forming an almost endless magic circle.
Cleel, who was gathering his magic power and preparing to deal with the Aragami who was about to rush to the fortress, was stunned for a moment, and Moria, who was condensing his fighting spirit, also kept his eyes, and even Joshua couldn't help but raise his head and look at the countless magic circles that surrounded the fortress and even the sky was obscured.
The energy that can distort space is like a river, flowing out of the core of the steel pyramid, forming a golden nebula-like light above the crystal sun, this light is rapidly expanding and growing under the blessing of countless magic circles, exuding a strong and incomparable power of order, and around it, the space is also distorted, and the blooming light shines like a real sun, and the faint humming sound shakes the heavens and the earth.
"Sun Flash - Launch!"
No. 3 gave the order again, listening to this voice, even if he didn't see her face, Joshua could guess the other party's expression, which was obviously extremely excited and happy smile.
And after the command of this sound was spoken, the wind stopped.
The people from the world of McCrove have finally seen the terrifying power of the Moving Fortress, the pinnacle of the Kallis's creation.
"Whew."
A slight vibration sounded that I don't know how to describe, resounding in everyone's ears, and Joshua suddenly felt his body sink instantly, as if gravity had increased weight, and with this vision, the ball of light on the crystal sun bloomed, shining like a real sun, even the mountains and hills under the clouds were illuminated, and the world, which had been ruled by chaos and darkness for thousands of years, ushered in light again.
Then, the ball of light turned into a streamer and shot straight towards the army of Aragami!
Boom――――――
Violent light bombarded the earth, the earth was like water, and countless dust was blasted into the sky, and then drifted into a rain of dust, under the attack of this terrifying beam, the endless army of Aragami was cut through it, and tens of thousands of Aragami were turned into ashes under this blow.
A pit full of lava at the bottom appeared on the earth, like a scar, and the Aragami army was actually cut through a passage hundreds of meters wide.
But this terrifying attack can't destroy all the monsters.
Several huge creatures with eerie lights broke through the smoke and dust caused by the explosion, and they were surrounded by hideous crystal carapaces, and there was not a single damage on their bodies, these insect-like monsters opened their mouths wide and let out a silent roar, and then rushed towards the only living creatures in the huge base of the steel fortress, Joshua and his party.
But no one showed fear on their faces, and even everyone laughed.
"Number 3 did everything she could."
Joshua looked at these Aragami who were flying rapidly and had gold-level strength, he said to his companions beside him, and then stretched out his left hand towards the god machine boy on the side: "Now it's our turn." ”
The warrior clenched Rin's hand, and a wave of magic erupted, and after a dazzling glow, a long-handled, double-edged axe, which seemed to be able to split through the mountains, appeared in Joshua's hand, and the end of the axe handle was a black chain, and the other end of the chain was submerged into the warrior's left wrist.
He waved the black giant axe in his hand, the atmosphere was broken by the blade, and there was a whistling wind, and Joshua's whole body ignited with red fighting energy, and he said in a loud voice, "Come on!" ”
