Chapter 18: The Limits of Humanity
Once Joshua, he was just an ordinary silver knight.
Without any special bloodline or great talent, he is, and is just an ordinary former army commander, leading his subordinates to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
After soul fusion, after having the system, this has not changed, although Joshua has the skills of the martial arts in his previous life, and he can also rely on the system to improve his strength, but in essence, he is still just a mortal without any strong bloodline and talent.
That is, human beings who can no longer be normal.
But all of this was changed after he got the Azure Orb and the inheritance of the Chaos Warden.
[The power of the guardian's inheritance: all attributes are permanently +20, and for each chaos monster killed, all attributes are +0.01 (designated bloodline inheritance after death, and the inheritance range is determined according to personal quality)]
[ββPassed down from generation to generation, endlessly. γ
[Burning Radiance: When killing enemies on the Chaos side, an additional 30% of experience points will be awarded, and if there is a reward for killing these monsters, then the reward will be doubled]
[-The blood of chaos, the source of fire.] γ
The original inconspicuous characteristics, the chicken ribs of the chicken ribs, you know, even the chaos keeper who hunts chaos monsters for a living, it is rare to be able to kill more than a thousand chaos monsters in his life, even if it is doubled, that is, the attribute of less than 20 points, in fact, according to the records of the Radcliffe family, the head of the family who killed the most monsters in his short life only killed 3,500 Aragami, and these additional attributes can not change anything.
But here's the decisive difference between Joshua and the others.
That's the quantity.
In the Moldovan territory, he killed tens of thousands of demonized demonic beasts, almost swept away the entire black tide, in the world of Karlis, he killed tens of thousands of Aragami, and even crossed the level to kill a Extreme Son of the Desolate, warriors slaughtered demon dragons, hunted wild beasts, not to mention that he was still in the Irgena world, with the blessing of the true god Father of Nature and even the blessing of all divine power, he leveled almost the entire world of stone demons.
Although the vast majority of the chaotic power was not absorbed by him and converted into attributes, but instead became the fuel for the activation of the Soul Burning King's state, even a small part of what was left was enough to raise Joshua's attributes to a level far beyond that of ordinary demons and dragons.
Quantitative change produces qualitative change, and a mortal body, relying on hundreds of thousands of additional attributes, can also reach a realm unimaginable to ordinary people, and make feats that even those with extraordinary talents are awe-inspiring.
It's like now.
A colossal power that far surpassed ordinary extreme intent, and could even be compared to some low-level legends, was explosively spreading around Joshua's heart, and then converging on the tip of the spear he was holding a sword and spear, which was the 'Fighting Qi' that had been strengthened by the life energy brought by the Azure Orb hundreds of thousands of times
The Fighting Qi Breathing Method practiced by the warrior can be described as extremely ordinary, before he created the Breath of Scorched Hell, it did not have any special abilities and effects, only the most basic high temperature and impact, but even if it was so ordinary and ordinary, the energy that was not the slightest different from that of ordinary fighters could return to its true nature in the hands of Joshua! Become a spiral capable of destroying everything!
Far beyond the surface of the sun, the blazing heat that can ionize the air and melt the earth by mere existence, and the incomparable impact that shatters everything, destroying even the most basic structures of matter, the two fused at the tip of Joshua's spear to form a perfect spiral cycleβ
The energy shatters the matter, releases more energy for the next crushing, stacks it up, and then, it is to stab out with all its might!
In the southwest wasteland, at the entrance and exit of a hidden cavern, several survivors are cautiously looking into the distance, whether it is Adair, Crete or Larryl, these young girls who have received the inheritance of Joshua have followed the instructions of their 'master' before this, gathered all the survivors together, hid in this safe corner, and waited for the end of the battle.
Naturally, they believed in the strength of the warriors, but the majesty and majesty of the military god phantom that stirred the heavens and the earth were equally terrifying, and listening to the violent explosions from afar and the roar of breaking through the sound barrier, the young girls felt a little uneasy.
"You say, Lord Joshua, he ......"
Crete whispered to himself, but before he could finish speaking, a slightly rude girl's voice interrupted him: "Shut up, Crete! β
A look stopped Crete's rebuttal, Larreal's eyes narrowed slightly, she said this, but not blind worship, the blonde girl seemed to be recalling, she whispered, "I remember the breath of the Guardian when he was alive...... Even in his heyday, he couldn't compare to the power that Lord Joshua unconsciously revealed, which meant that Lord He had the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm, and even the power that surpassed the Heavenly Realm......"
And at this moment, in the distance, a red sun swelled rapidly, and then quickly burst, and in the panicked shouts of the boy and girl, a violent wind that surpassed the fourteenth level, which could be called a natural disaster, swept from afar, and they had to push the boulder and seal the entrance to the earth-shaking cave.
However, before the cave was completely sealed, the boy named Adair took a deep look at the outside world.
"To win...... My lord. β
At this time, Joshua, who was suspended in mid-air, looked at the half-shattered military god phantom in front of him with a solemn expression.
The collision between the Split Armor Giant Sword and the Spiral Sword ended in a complete rout of the War God Phantom, not only did the energy giant sword in his hand shatter into a sky full of crystal light chips, but the tough dragon scale armor was also opened into a huge mouth with a diameter of fifty meters, and the shattered ribs and spine in it could be seen.
But it was obviously a fighter on the winner's side, but his expression was extremely serious.
Because the results of the battle did not match his expectations.
On the ground, countless undead soldiers who had fallen to the ground after being shaken by the previous aftermath all stood up again, they shook their bodies, causing the sand and gravel to fall from the gaps between the armor and bones, the power of the spiral spear was strong and concentrated, and there would not have been any spilled energy, but due to the collision with the Split Armor Greatsword, it instantly generated a storm that swept the entire wasteland.
With this kind of impact, the average golden powerhouse must take it seriously, otherwise they will also be seriously injured, but these undead soldiers who are obviously only close to gold don't seem to be harmed at all - and as the undead soldiers got up, the phantom of the military god who was on the verge of shattering began to gradually recover, with the gray-black resentment and killing intent condensed, the body and armor of the huge skeleton military god healed themselves in a few seconds, but the giant sword didn't seem to be so easy to recover, and the left hand was still empty.
It was almost a full blow, but it only allowed the opponent to heal itself for a few seconds, and not even a single undead soldier was killed - if it had been like this all along, then the battle would not have been able to be fought.
"Their core...... It's you. β
Looking at General Long Armor, who was standing behind the War God Phantom and countless undead soldiers, and was not surprised by Joshua's powerful strength, the warrior said in a deep voice, "I understand...... These undead soldiers and the phantom of the military god are only a part of you, so in my eyes, only you have the energy to react, it is pointless to kill them, only by killing you, as the [Lord of Hosts], can these undead be completely destroyed! β
This is not a strange thing, the lich's life box is made using a similar principle - the source of life of these undead soldiers should all be in Arman's body, which forms a source of power like a cold ocean, and the external condensation of this huge energy is the bone god, killing the latter two is a waste of physical strength, and it only makes sense to cause damage to Arman!
I am the army, and the army is me! This is not an exaggeration, but a fact.
At this time, Arman also looked up slightly, and he looked as if he was smiling.
After seeing Joshua's amazing blow and deducing part of the truth about his secret technique, the general who commanded the army of the undead not only did not have the slightest worry, but laughed softly as if he had finally untied the knot in his heart and let go of some restraints.
"You can see it, young man."
In a deep voice, he said calmly: "That's right, I am the core of all this, only by causing harm to me can I weaken my army and the god of war, but even if I kill me, it will only make me lose the origin of a few undead soldiers and resurrect them." β
Then, the general actually said in an inexplicable tone, as if he was expecting something: "And you, how many times can you kill me?" β
"A lot."
Joshua didn't want to talk nonsense, he clenched the spear in his hand again: "Until you die." β
And the next moment, like a supersonic ferocious eagle, he swooped down towards Arman, who was standing behind the army of undead who had been rearranged and had completely healed himself.
The undead soldiers raised their long swords, straight knives, and even light and heavy crossbows, and kept attacking the rapidly charging warriors, but Joshua, who already knew that it was meaningless to deal with them, naturally did not spend much effort, he waved the spear at will, and the sharp front blade of the dragon hunting sword spear brought up arc light qi blades, and cut a large area of undead warriors into two sections, and the terrifying Lan Feng swept them away, revealing a straight path to where Arman was.
But he could sweep away the undead soldiers, but he couldn't avoid the phantom of the military god, the huge skeleton military god silently waved the giant hammer in his hand, and the resentment that was as clear as ice came earlier than the invincible hammer blow, but it was enough to make the blood of the most brave warrior The frozen resentment invasion could not even make Joshua's speed a little sluggish, but he also saw the flaw, and a shot was pointed at the wrist bone part holding the bone of the bone crusher hammer, and the energy giant hammer fell to the ground, losing the ability to continue to attack the warrior.
Joshua, who is going all out, how can he be stopped by just an undead soldier and a military god phantom? He had only planned to take out the tricky giant energy body first, and then sweep away the large number of skeleton soldiers, lest it would be too troublesome to kill the soldiers who had lost their command and scatter them all over the place when the time came to kill Arman.
Therefore, in an instant, the full strength of the warrior had already come to the body of the dragon armor general, and then simply stabbed the spear in his hand straight out.
But even this sword and spear, which broke through ten times the speed of sound and could easily penetrate even a mountain peak, was easily held up by the long sword in Arman's hand.
"You seem to think you're going to eat me."
At this moment, the phantom of the military god instantly dimmed, and the countless undead army also stopped moving, completely different from the weak appearance before, and even showed a general who was strong enough to match Joshua's strength, and said softly face to face with the warrior: "But you still don't understand...... I am them, they are who I am, both in life and in power. β
"All the strength of the armies shall be mine."
Chanting a spell like poetry, Arman waved his arms and lifted the warrior in front of him, and the two began to confront each other again.
This longsword is not an ordinary cross-straight sword, the slightly quaint blade blade is slightly curved, more suitable for slashing than stabbing blows, and the dim but dangerous streamer flickers in its body, with a strange beauty, even Joshua must admit that this longsword is indeed a beautiful work of art.
But no matter how beautiful the work of art is, when it is slashed at his head, it is definitely not beautiful, only to see the red light flickering in the gap of Arman's helmet, the general took a big step forward, showing amazing martial arts, the ancient sword was swung into a ball of changing light and shadow, the vacuum was torn, and the aftermath swept towards Joshua like a hurricane, and the real attack was hidden in the hurricane of light and shadow, waiting for the moment to tear the enemy's body apart.
This is derived from the simple swordsmanship in the battlefield killing array, the moves are directed at the vital point, and the sword does not centrifuge the mouth and neck.
But Joshua was not weak, he held the gun in one hand, the huge body of the gun rotated, as if it turned into an unbreakable barrier, accurately parryed Arman's lightning slash, and his left hand was close together like a knife, swinging out a sharp air blade, slashing towards Arman.
"Yes, I thought you were only as good as you were at the beginning."
The corners of the warrior's mouth grinned: "Fortunately, this is not the case, otherwise it would be so boring!" β
The two of them slashed head-on with their weapons, exploding large sparks, tearing the air into vacuum cracks, and the atmosphere that conducted the sound of light was distorted by the aftermath of their power, so that the existence outside the center of the battle could only see a gray-red violent air current.
This kind of close blade confrontation is the most dangerous, I saw that in just a fraction of a second, more than a dozen thick wounds appeared on Joshua's neck and chest, and the major arteries in the warrior's neck had been cut, these wounds were blocked by the fighting spirit, so no blood flowed out, and Arman's body also had more than ten large holes, which was exactly what the dragon hunting sword and spear did.
"The key point of the secret technique of the Lord of Hosts is to share life and power with the contract army that has signed a contract, and I have achieved the level of 'power exchange' at most during my lifetime, but after recovery, I can reach the realm of 'life communication' because of the characteristics of the heroic spirit."
Holding the sword with ten fingers, he blocked Joshua's sweeping of the tip of the spear that cracked the vacuum, and the dragon armor general was repelled by this huge force for dozens of meters before he barely stopped castration, but at this time, the warrior had already come first, and stabbed straight forward closely, in this rapid battle rhythm, there was no time to launch the skill of anti-gravity charge and spiral spear that exceeded fifty times the speed of sound, and the incomparably thin military god phantom and countless undead soldiers could not swing the giant hammer and shoot arrows to sneak attack the warrior.
But in the middle of such a fierce and dangerous battle, Arman still did not stop his mouth, he leaned slightly, avoided the direct attack of the spear, and then turned back and slashed out with a sword: "However, as long as we break through the Holy Sepulchre according to the plan, we can be resurrected in the ceremony held by the Grand Commander, and completely restore the strength of the previous life, at that time, I with a complete body and a higher realm, I should be even stronger than before I was born." β
The tip of the spear shook, and the blade in the opponent's hand was struck away with great force, and the two fought for more than a hundred rounds, during this time, Joshua listened to Arman's intermittent words while fighting, but the more he listened, the more wrong it became, and from Arman's mouth, the warrior actually knew a lot of new important information - such as the plan to break through the Holy Sepulchre, the resurrection ceremony, the general identity of the seven undead archlords, and the possibility of restoring all the strength of his life.
Could it be that it's not the other party's full strength now?
Why did he reveal so many secrets?!
Too lazy to think too much, focusing on combat and analysis, after a long grappling, the warrior finally found an opportunity, he stretched out his left hand to use the metacarpal bone as a shield, temporarily blocking Arman's long sword, and then a shot brought out a streamer, directly through Arman's helmet skull, extinguishing the red soul fire burning in the opponent's eye socket.
However, this was of no use, and within a fraction of a second, as several of the undead in the army of the undead not far away were wiped out, General Long Armor revived again, and slashed at Joshua with a sword like thunder.
But the warrior dodged as if he had expected it, and then stabbed through the skull of the opponent.
Hundreds of rounds of back-and-forth grappling finally came to fruition.
"I've seen through all your moves, undead."
Retracting his spear, he whispered, "If you stop here, then wait for a long sleep." β
