Chapter 43: Cancer
Starfall 833 years, winter, Moldavian territory, on the banks of the Mager Frozen River, in the evening.
The sun was setting in the west, the clouds were all over the sky, and the light of the stars and moon was obscured by the thicker and thicker clouds, which made the heavens and the earth darken.
But suddenly, a violent wind rose, and thunder exploded in mid-air, and an astonishing bright light flashed between the heavens and the earth like lightning. Unlike real lightning, this huge dark red light mark shaped like a rift did not disappear, but froze in mid-air for a long time.
After a few moments, the light dissipated, and the dark red rift revealed its true face - it was a crack that seemed to have been slashed by a sharp blade, hanging above the space, with irregular cracks at both ends of the crack spreading in all directions, and on the other side of the rift, it seemed that a strange and terrifying world could be seen, in which countless fungi and poisonous insects multiplied, and the blasphemy aura was rapidly spreading to the surroundings with its source.
"Boom!"
As if pulled by this breath, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the clouds above the Mega Frozen River, and the next moment, thunder and light were combined, and the sound of thunderbolts spread throughout the mountains, and freezing rain mixed with blizzard poured down, turning the whole world into a dim and misty cold world.
With a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, a misshapen figure slammed out of a crack in midair, arcing through the snow before falling to the ground.
And a man with a spear in his hand, whose muscles and bones were twisted by a terrifying force, also walked out of the huge space-time rift.
Joshua stood in front of the space-time rift that was rapidly closing, using the life energy around his body to repair the injuries on his body, the moment he manipulated the dragon hunting sword and spear before, and the moment he fought against Herras, his body suffered a great impact, and most of the flesh and blood on his body were torn and deformed by the extremely terrifying traction, if it weren't for the divine power in the warrior's bones, maybe even the skeleton would be twisted and squeezed, and even turned into a grain of bone slag.
The last magic used by the cult high priest contained incredible power, and if it weren't for the fact that Hellas himself couldn't control it and dissipated in the middle of it, Joshua couldn't guarantee that he would survive, but anyway, everything was as he expected now - with the power of the two of them attacking with all their might, the warrior broke through the rift in time and space that returned to the Mycrof continent, and forced Hellas out of his plague world home.
The air was filled with a fishy smell, which was the result of the atmospheric circulation between the two breaths between the plague world and the Microf continent, and the high-heat and high-energy clouds generated by the battle between the two extremely strong men overflowed from the rift, causing ice rain and snowstorms, and the extremely cold temperature also suppressed the evil plague spread in the air, making it impossible for them to spread wantonly.
In a short time, Joshua had largely repaired the damage to his body, and in the distance, the forest where Hellas had fallen had rapidly withered.
"Good!"
In the middle of a low voice, a voice containing anger sounded from the earth, and in the center of a forest that had withered into a tree trunk, the cult high priest who had also healed himself raised his head and looked up at Joshua in mid-air, although his tone was annoyed, but still with a hint of admiration: "I didn't expect you to have such a deep knowledge of time and space, and you can actually accurately find the weak point of time and space to return to the Mycrof continent...... It seems that you are indeed one of the strongest people under the legend. ”
The subspace opened up by Herras, located in the void outside the world, in the void, the distance between the worlds and the worlds is infinitely far, and infinitely close, except for some natural space-time narrow channels, only the strong who are proficient in the rhythm of time and space, and can determine all kinds of precise coordinates can go to each world with their own strength, otherwise, it is easy to get lost in the endless void, and the warrior can find the coordinates of returning to the Mycrof continent in an instant, which really makes him admire.
But this is indeed an overestimation of Joshua...... He just wanted to make a hole in the barrier of time and space, no matter which world it led to, or the Endless Void, it was better than letting Herras be on his home turf and launching terrorist attacks that shocked him again and again, even if it was an empty, most dangerous void, at least he could temporarily expel Heras, and maybe seal this powerful transcendent who was almost impossible to kill.
Without the support of the life force of the plague world, the various biological weapons distorted around Herras have gradually turned into normal human arms and organs, he has not yet achieved a legend, completely changed his life form, and there are also deficiencies in energy, so in the Mycrof continent, he can't use all his strength.
Herras's body, located in the plague world, usually walking in the McCrof world, is just a spare shell, before, there have been legendary powerhouses in the West Mountain region to surround and suppress him, but at most it will cause him to lose a shell, and the body is still unharmed, and after a while, it will continue to wreak havoc on the West Mountain.
But this time, he thought he could defeat Joshua, but he couldn't defeat the warrior with just a spare body, so he sucked him into the plague world and fought against the enemy with his main body, but then Joshua was kicked out of the plague world by defeating both sides. Now, it is the body that is damaged, not the indifferent incarnation, and the energy consumption of the two is not at the same level.
But even so, today's Herras gives Joshua a feeling of extreme danger.
"It's hard to imagine that you are less than thirty, but you have such a huge vitality, if it weren't for the power in your body that can only sense the wails of beasts and monsters, I would even suspect that you slaughtered hundreds of thousands, millions of humans."
Stretching out his hand that had been restored to its original state, holding the atmosphere in a void, the black mist spread and condensed, Herras held a sword that grew from the condensation of the dim streamer, his eyes were full of thought: "The number of demonic beasts in the entire Northern Empire is limited, and even the Black Tide cannot gather so many powerful monsters...... You can't be a condensed life force in the Microve Continent. ”
The cult high priest pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "Yes, seeing that you are so familiar with opening up the rift in time and space, you must have traveled to other worlds to plunder the life force. ”
"You're hesitating."
But Joshua didn't answer, he held the spear in his hand, and the blade of the dragon hunting sword and spear hung down, pointing directly at Heras: "There is no need to say much about fighting. ”
He had already seen that the cult high priest's body had not yet adapted to the environment of the Microf world because of the rapid change of form, so if he wanted to delay time by words, how could the warrior let the enemy get his wish? Naturally, he took advantage of his illness and wanted his life!
Airplanes!
In Joshua's hand, the spear shook, and in the next moment, his whole body turned into a streamer, and he rushed towards Herras!
A shot stabbed out, like a meteor falling to the ground, Joshua activated the Breath of Scorched Hell, thousands of degrees of heat was concentrated in his arms and the tip of the spear, condensed into a shaped energy blade that was enough to vaporize everything, and the energy flow mode generated by the self-explosion of the Molten Core Star was also used in it, and the aftermath brought bursts of orange-red heat and smoke in the air.
But Herras also showed no less agility than Joshua, and with a cold snort, he took his sword in his hand and faced him.
In an instant, the bloody rain exploded.
This is not a battle between ordinary powerhouses, but two close to the legend, the peak of the peak of the extreme hand-to-hand fight, can only hear in mid-air, the two rays of light quickly contacted, separated, and then close together again, emitting a continuous roaring sound, spears and swords collided with each other, there was a tooth-aching friction sound, Herras and Joshua fought at high speed in a narrow place at more than ten times the speed of sound, the twisted air and the vacuum fault caused the light to be temporarily distorted, and it was impossible to see the details of their battle.
The flesh of these two people has reached an extreme strength, even the dragon and the abyss giant beast do not have such a tough body, and the slightest collision between them will cause the aftermath of the Madger Frozen River under them to explode violently,
And a moment later, the two separated, facing each other for a thousandth of a second.
At this time, Joshua's chest was broken, several ribs protecting the heart on the left side were cut off by the long sword containing evil and poisonous plagues, and the beating chest cavity flowed with blood that seemed to have its own life, and the warrior's leg bones had been kicked off with great force and bent slightly.
Herras was even more unbearable, his body had fifteen large holes that were completely scorched, they shattered the cult high priest's spine into three, and pierced his heart, and even above his forehead, there was a large hole that was overflowing his brain.
But this injury was harmless to both, and a thousandth of a second later, the two converged as if teleporting, and began to fight again.
Spears, swords, fists, kicks, all the techniques that humans can use, were wantonly swayed on each other's bodies by these two men, attacking each other like a storm, causing their flesh, which was tougher than steel, to burst into sparks, and one huge wound after another, but these wounds healed quickly under the effect of the ability to heal themselves at high speed.
The land near the Maghebu River was in complete shambles, and the continuous shock waves and storms blew that caused the earth to collapse within a radius of several kilometers, and if it weren't for the aftermath of the battle between Joshua and Herras, the river would have poured into this place and turned it into a lake.
In an instant, the energy sword in Herras's hand was shattered by the dragon hunting sword spear, but the powerful explosion also shook the sword and spear away, Herras saw this opportunity not to retreat, but to break into the inner circle of Joshua's body, grabbing the left shoulder of the warrior, his energy was running, and he exerted force violently, and a layer of thick and tough flesh was completely torn apart, revealing the divine rune bones flashing under it, but at the same time, Joshua also simply threw away the spear, and smashed the flesh and blood ribs in Heras's chest with a single shot, completely shattering his heart and heart.
It was another injury-for-injury blow, but unlike Joshua, Hellas's heart was just an ornament, and while he was a little inferior in hand-to-hand combat, neither of them suffered fatal injuries because of this trait.
At this time, the high priest of the cult, his body has long been alienated, and there is no point in it, and the life form of Herras, who is only one step away from the legend, is already somewhat similar to the hatchling of the Void Beast, as long as the vitality is not extinguished, he will never die.
And because Joshua needs an explosive core and thinking center for energy operation, there are still two important weaknesses in the body, the heart and the brain, although it is not impossible to repair, but if the damage is serious, then the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced for a period of time, and there is also the possibility of being killed by a sudden sneak attack.
While Joshua struggled with how to kill Heras, Helas was also thinking about how to kill the enemy he had been troubled for the first time.
The magic is ineffective, the magic is ineffective, and the warrior is surrounded by an inexplicable force, which is not the life force, but the aura of order that makes the high priest feel extremely disgusted, it easily banishes some of the weakening curses and magic that Hellas occasionally uses, and the magic of the plastic energy system can't even do it closely, and it is washed away by the majestic vitality.
Hand-to-hand combat is even more of a disadvantage, Heranas in terms of martial arts, he thinks he is already a master of the Microf world, he has learned the use of various weapons since he was a child, whether it is a sword, a gun, a knife, an axe or a staff and a longbow, the high priest is all proficient, and can skillfully use it in battle, but Joshua's martial arts are exquisite, it is simply beyond his imagination, Herras has a hard time understanding how a young man who is less than half his age can be so much stronger than him in this aspect, Even if you start practicing martial arts from birth, you can't hone your skills to this point.
The only thing he can do to outperform Joshua is a huge reserve of life force and a War Mode that can only be used in the Plague World.
Neither side left much time for the other to think, and the dragon hunting sword and spear were recalled by the warriors, and a new energy weapon condensed in the hands of the high priest.
And above the distant sky.
An old man with white hair and a sturdy warrior with dark blonde hair stood in the clouds, looking out over the battle in the Moldovan territory.
"Israel, you're really not going to make a move?"
The Extreme Meaning Archmage, who had just returned to the world of Microf from the Void Stargazing Station and hurriedly teleported to the Northland, said to the Imperial Ruler beside him in a playful tone, "You rushed back from the Holy Mountain in a hurry, are you just watching the excitement?" ”
But Israel shook his head and said to his teacher in a flat tone: "Originally, it was indeed intended to be stopped, but now it seems that it is completely unnecessary?" ”
"He's here."
The two of them watched the battle that took place on the banks of the Mager Frozen River, their eyes full of emotion.
The power of Herras, even Nostradamus did not dare to speak lightly, even in the most optimistic situation, he used the space-time magic he was good at at most, and temporarily sealed this monster with almost infinite vitality in the void, and more likely, he was an old man who was dragged down by the opponent's infinite endurance, and finally died by the vitality of the opponent's natural ability.
And Israel, although he is confident that he can kill Heranas through some special methods, but the other party is not a fool, and when he sees the legendary powerhouse making a move, he will naturally simply run away, with the help of various magic and magic powers, the emperor can't say that he will definitely be able to catch the other side.
"A strong man, no matter how strong his strength is, no matter how big his ambition is, even if he is eyeing my position, I am not afraid."
"What I'm afraid of is that he doesn't have desires. How can a person who has no desires, who doesn't even know what he wants, lead others forward? ”
Israel muttered to himself slowly, his cloak rattled by the winds of the heavens: "Joshua is a great deal of power, money, beauty, and wine...... He doesn't have any desire for most things, but is just looking forward to fighting the strong with all his heart. ”
"How can I take the favor of others?"
Suddenly, the Legendary Dragon Knight's pupils shrank, and he said in a cold voice, "It's time to decide the winner!" ”
The truth is as he said.
As if it was a mistake, the spear in Joshua's hand suddenly stagnated for a moment in the middle of the stab, and was shaken open by the long sword in Herras's hand, revealing a gap in his chest, and the cult high priest naturally would not let go of this opportunity. Although he also wondered why the warrior would show such a low-level flaw, he could afford to pay for even the trap.
Therefore, the long sword in Herras's hand exploded, turning into a mighty shockwave, temporarily stopping the warrior's defensive posture, and then he suddenly burst in front of the opponent, gathering life energy with one hand, and his right palm directly sank into Joshua's left chest.
Flesh and blood splashed, two extremely different life energies produced a huge repulsive force at the moment of contact, and the vitality belonging to Joshua surged wildly, wanting to push Herras's palm out of the body, but the vitality of the cult high priest was originally stronger than that of a warrior, if it was said that the fight between fists and feet didn't matter, but since it had penetrated deep into the body, it was unstoppable.
"This time, you're the one who loses."
The strong force shattered Joshua's ribs, Herras's right hand pierced the visceral diaphragm, directly holding the warrior's heart, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and the natural ability was activated, and the power of the void began to rapidly extract Joshua's life force.
The soldier's face turned pale, and it felt like a dam had collapsed, and he felt that his life was rapidly decreasing. However, Herras's face was also ugly, and the warrior's vitality contained the power of order that made him extremely uncomfortable, but at this time, he could not stop, so he could only continue to extract Joshua's life force, striving to completely kill the opponent at one time, so as not to cause more trouble.
It was extremely strong, so that the cult high priest also felt the surprising energy pouring into his body, Joshua's life force seemed to be active after being absorbed, stirring and destroying in his body, in order to avoid his body collapsing before killing Joshua, Herras could only forcibly control it, gather the life force belonging to Joshua into a nucleus, suppress it in his body, and wait for it to be slowly absorbed in the future.
But at this moment, the warrior also showed a smile.
"This is the time I was waiting for."
At the mouth of the warrior's heart, a cyan flash suddenly lit up, and the power of order like a tide burst out from the Azure Orb in an instant, mixed with Joshua's life force poured into Helas's body, and for a moment, the cult high priest was shrouded in cyan light, unable to move.
There was also a trembling arm raised, pulling out the palm of Herras that had been inserted into his chest, Joshua inserted his hand into the wound without changing his face, correcting the position of the heart that was already somewhat atrophied, and then he slapped his hand on the chest, and the high temperature of the fighting spirit flowed through his chest like fire, and a flame light mixed with ashes came out from his back, and the wound had healed.
The warrior's face had many wrinkles of aging, and most of his black hair had turned pale, but even so, his eyes still released a scorching light like lava, and Joshua approached Herras, who was bound by the power of order, and grabbed his left arm without hesitation, and then jerked it.
Suddenly, the flesh and blood splattered, and an arm bone that still had tendon blood vessels was pulled out of his body by him, but what was amazing was that there was not a single trace of blood flowing out of such a serious wound, and on this arm bone, there were also black-red lines, and the rune light belonging to the divinity was circulating on it.
"I knew that you, who were too greedy and selfish, would definitely not directly crush my heart, but would want to use this flaw to directly suck my life force dry and kill me completely."
Holding his arm bone in his right hand, Joshua didn't hesitate at all, he aimed at the core that Herras had condensed from his own life force, and stabbed it neatly.
"You sucked it in yourself." The warrior said with some sarcasm: "I can't do this." ”
Poof.
The black-red arm bone, after penetrating Herras's body and the core of the life force condensed by himself, suddenly bloomed with infinite light, majestic and shocking, and the bloody and cruel aura emanated from this arm bone, releasing infinite majesty - the vitality belonging to Joshua was stimulated by the divinity belonging to Joshua, and it suddenly got rid of Herras's suppression and began to spread wildly towards the other party's body.
Like cancer cells.
