Chapter 35: The Appearance of Shady Forces
Extraterrestrial monsters, since two hundred and forty-five years ago, suddenly appeared on the continent of Ilgena. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Like meteors and meteorites, they suddenly appeared with a huge circle of light that shrouded the sky like ten circles, and in the early days of their arrival, because of the way they appeared like meteors, they were called Star People by all the elves with awe, and even planned to use them as objects of sacrifice.
But as it turned out, the name was just too wrong.
These bloodless and tearless, killing monsters resemble humanoid puppets or beasts made of gray rocks, with extremely hard and certain anti-magic shells, they are indeed like a huge meteorite in the early days of their arrival, but after the surface of the body cools, these monsters called stone demons by later elves will begin to move, hunting for all flesh and blood life.
In the first week of the arrival, more than half a million people were killed by these monsters that came from outside the sky, and due to the fact that the time is too old, there is no existing information as evidence, but the academic community believes that this number will only be more, not less, because there are several city ruins and a large number of bones to prove the credibility of this speculation.
The attacks of these monsters further pushed the last elven dynasty into a desperate situation, and many years later, the continuous rebel army and the nascent Gulf Federation finally overthrew it completely, but the threat of the stone demons was still not lifted, and even intensified.
"Oh my God, this amount!"
Looking at the sky, the defenders in the city couldn't help but gasp, and one person couldn't help but mutter, "It's a legion-level invasion!" The mother tree is on top, and this time it is a whole army of monsters! More than last time in the Valley of the Cold Wind! β
Most of the soldiers who were selected to deal with the Volcanic Dragon incident were veterans, and they naturally knew that many of them had even participated in the Battle of Cold Wind Valley three years ago - that invasion almost destroyed a large fortress city of the Federation, but even so, hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, and all of them were turned into scorched ruins within a radius of hundreds of miles, and everyone couldn't help but shudder.
And the headquarters was also in chaos, and in their light curtain, the sky above Babel Province was full of fire, and countless meteors rained down, dragging red tracks in mid-air.
"Fortunately, the people were evacuated before ......"
A certain commander was bitterly happy, he stared at the red light curtain in front of him, although his mood was as bad as eating, he still shook his head with a wry smile: "Otherwise, this celebration will really kill hundreds of thousands, or even millions." β
In the research institute of the Ministry of Technology in the distance, countless technicians were urgently calculating the trajectory of the meteorite, and finally came to an astonishing conclusion: "Thirty percent of the stone demons are going to descend around the capital of Babel Province, and the shock wave and explosion will destroy one-third of the buildings!" β
"The estimated economic losses are 19 million quintala and the death toll is more than 120,000...... Fortunately, most of the population has entered the shelter, otherwise it would have at least doubled. β
No one thought about how to stop it, because with the current technical capabilities of the Gulf Federation, they are powerless to effectively intercept any object in the sky, and the newly developed airship can only perform the task of ground suppression, and everything can only wait for the stone demon to fall to the earth.
In the capital, the original troops were prepared for the attack, and the people accelerated their speed into the surrounding basements and houses, and the shelters were too far away to find a place to cope.
In just a few breaths, the world is like the end of the world, and panic spreads.
"Normin, don't stay there!"
In the shadow of Ryoma's massive body, the elven couple were shouting for their child, desperately hoping that the boy standing by the claw of the giant beast would hurry over and hide with them in the surrounding basement.
The boy named Normin looked at the black who was looking up at the sky with some hesitation, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'll come right away!" β
As he spoke, he turned his head, touched Ryoma's huge paws with some nostalgia, and said regretfully, "It's so warm...... Horses, you must be careful, meteorites in the sky are terrible, don't get hurt. β
The boy always felt that the giant beast in front of him was a horse, just like the one his grandfather used to ride, he didn't understand the dragon or anything, anyway, it must be a horse, but it was a little big!
With that, Normin hurried to his parents, who had rushed to meet him, and was neatly grabbed by his father and tucked under his armpit.
"Roaring ......"
When the boy and their parents had taken refuge in the basement of the surrounding building, Kuro groaned and looked intently at the sky.
In the sky, the clouds were scattered layer by layer, and meteorites fell downward with the momentum of destroying everything, and the high heavens were dyed red by firelight, and the color like blood shrouded the sky.
It's really thick, this chaotic aura...... Is it the enemy of the master?
Ryoma thought with some nostalgia that the last time he encountered this kind of breath was when he was in the Black Tide a year ago, it was just an ordinary war horse at that time, with a trace of dragon blood, and when the master was fighting with all his might, even the recoil force was a little unbearable.
Although it didn't have much wisdom at that time, the humiliation and unwillingness still continue to this day, that is to live up to the trust of its master and hate its own powerlessness, so it tried its best, and also wanted to awaken a stronger bloodline.
So, it's not the same anymore.
Running, to the square in the center of the city, the uninhabited square is full of toppled flags, tables and chairs, countless people left behind when they left in panic, Hei stood in the center of this wide area, it roared, closed the golden dragon's eye, the ancient blood from before the ancient times was boiling in its body, and it couldn't wait to burn all enemies to ashes.
As a result, red streamers began to emerge around the body of this huge dragon beast, and the black carapace flowed like lava-like lines, and between light and darkness, a powerful coercion was stirred.
Originating from the black body, the fire element, which was so hot and thick that it seemed to condense into substance, manifested itself from the atmosphere, and it turned into layers of fire clouds, surrounding it, and dark red arcs of electricity continued to shoot out from this cloud, bringing out a billowing gale, enough to melt steel, and the heat of the river instantly turned everything in the square into ashes.
The fire ignited, as if the stars had fallen to the ground.
"Warning! There is a high-energy reaction in the central square! Repeat, there is a high-energy reaction in the central square! β
"Is it the Volcanic Dragon? What does it want to do......"
Suddenly, a rapid and piercing alarm sounded in the command room of all the meteorites in the sky, and they looked at the rapidly rising data in the light curtain in amazement: "Twenty thousand, thirty thousand, forty thousand...... Energy level 83,000? Still rising rapidly?! β
"Incredible, this energy!"
"The temperature is incalculable, and the magic array is overloaded and damaged?!"
"What the hell is this monster?!"
"Wait!"
One of the researchers seemed to have discovered something, he looked at the light curtain seriously, and then was shocked: "It's going to attack the Meteorite of the Stone Demon?!"
The heat wave swept through the city, the fierce firelight, like the sun shining on everything, just a few seconds, the wide square turned into a pool of lava, the golden red light can no longer be seen directly at this moment, the observation circles all over the surrounding area collapsed one after another due to violent elemental fluctuations, only a few of the most complex and powerful circles can witness the next scene.
The meteorite outside the sky, roaring and falling to the earth, is a force that all the walls cannot stop, and the aura of chaos spreads, as if to destroy everything.
And above the ground, in the fierce fire and elemental clouds, a high dragon roar sounded, the voice was full of ancient majesty, disgust with chaos and anticipation of battle, in the stunned eyes of all the defenders, the people who had taken refuge, and the great commanders and researchers who were still watching, three points of light lit up in the fire cloud, which were a pair of golden dragon pupils and a dazzling core, the huge dragon horse's chest was condensed with a strong light like the sun, and the golden core seemed to be boiling, For the first time, the descendants of the Ancient Dragons used all their strength.
"Roaring ββββββββββ"
With the dragon's roar, a pillar of light that could no longer find any adjectives except bright and dazzling rose from the center of the city and soared into the sky, striking a falling meteorite in an instant.
Then, a sound ten times louder than thunder appeared in the sky above the province of Babbel.
The clouds in the sky were stirred up in an instant, the red light in the sky was completely overshadowed, and only a complete golden white could be seen in the observation circle, and after that, everyone was shocked to find that the tens of nearly hundreds, or even more meteorites in the original direction had all disappeared, and the sky was blank, leaving nothing.
"Stone ...... Thirty-seven percent of the stone demons' meteorites have been wiped out, and it is expected that all the stone demons that fell in the capital of Babel Province will be wiped out! β
"The energy level of that blow just now exceeded 150,000, which is equivalent to ten super-large magic energy furnaces running at full capacity, is this really a living thing?!"
And the Grand Commander stared at this scene in his floatship office, and he did not close his eyes even if the dazzling bright light came in bursts.
"Fortunately ......"
His hands trembled a little, and the red-haired elf pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, a smoke-shaped stimulant made from Awakening Herb, which Ulken had been using since five years ago when he was often feeling physically exhausted, to stay awake in situations like this.
Taking a deep breath, Ulken closed his eyes and calmed down a little, and then he realized that he was soaked in cold sweat all over his body, and the ten seconds just now were probably the most exciting scene in his life, which was the same as when he was assassinated at home by five shadow assassins as the leader of the rebel army that overthrew the last elven dynasty seventy years ago.
"Even if it really detonated the volcano, we'd better not do anything...... "Breathing out a puff of smoke," he whispered to himself, "Not to mention that it doesn't have to be." β
"Luckily...... We were cautious and did not attack. β
On the side, Director Laura said in a slightly trembling tone, he is now almost paralyzed, only one hand is left on the arm of the chair, maintaining a sitting posture, although the image is very embarrassing, but the silver-haired purple-eyed director of the Institute of Biology is very happy: "If this blow is not the sky, but the city ......"
He didn't go on with the rest of the words, because everyone knew what the consequences were, and it was a loss that no elf, no city, could bear.
And in the middle of the square, Black was gasping violently.
The dense fog of the fire elemental gradually dissipated, and the lava lines on Ryoma's black carapace were gradually fading, and the golden core on his chest was slightly dimmed.
Even if it is a golden high-level ancient dragon bloodline, sending out such a blow is beyond its load, and this is also because it is the first time to attack after the advancement, Hei has no way to control the limit of his strength, so he can only pour out all his power at once, leaving no spare strength.
However, it seems that the effect is not bad, and this kind of power should be able to help the master.
Looking high in the sky, Ryoma nodded, although some meteorites were still falling, none of them fell in the direction of the perimeter of the city, which was enough for the black who had been taught to protect the city.
The square, because of the loss of the surging high heat element support, the lava is rapidly condensing, a large amount of heat is recovered by the black, and at this time, it is a little strange to find that the elements in the atmosphere are extremely thin.
-- That's not normal.
Hei couldn't help but wonder a little, you know, when it was in Sigma Volcano, it felt that the elements were very thick, and its thickness was almost exactly the same as that of the Great Ajax Volcano, or even a little higher, which proved that the elemental concentration and energy level of the two worlds should be equal, and it was precisely because of this that it could quickly draw strength there and become stronger.
Can ...... now The elements in the air seem to be being extracted by something, and they are passing little by little, as the bloodline of the ancient dragon, Ryoma's sensitivity to the elements is far better than that of most life, the elf can not be compared with it at all, and only pure energy life can be compared with it, it can be determined that the elements in the atmosphere are slowly passing, and if it dissipates at this rate, maybe in a few decades this world will become a forbidden place for spells, and only the rune circle that uses the power of the magic crystal or the power of the world itself can operate.
And it can also be determined that the energy level of this world was originally similar to that of the Mycrof Continent, but it has become the current situation because of the passage of many years.
Of course, it didn't care about this bit of blackness, but now it couldn't recover its strength quickly, it felt too sad, some angry moans, it felt a little dizzy in its brain, and a sense of powerlessness surged in its originally never-tired body.
Monsters and dragons, because they are too powerful, will also be restricted by the environment, and the black slowly lies on the ground, entrenching his body in the center of the square like a dragon.
It now felt like it needed a break, or at least enough strength to move.
In the research room, there was a lot of talking.
"Are you tired?"
"Definitely, the limit energy level of that blow just now exceeded 100,000, even if it is a real biological volcano, it will have to be dormant for a while."
"So, should we take advantage of this opportunity to ......?"
One of the researchers thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Take it ......."
But his words were immediately blocked, because the dozen or so people in the entire research room stared at him silently, as if they were looking at a mentally retarded person.
"Are you stupid?"
Suddenly, a merciless reprimand swarmed: "It's a blessing that it doesn't attack us, what do you want to do?" β
"It just destroyed the Stone Devil's meteorite, and it did so in an unusually drastic way - this proves that it is in opposition to the Stone Devil, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, don't you understand?"
"The mother tree is on top, I'll just say this, at present, except for a few weapons that are being secretly developed by the Federation, it is almost impossible for all other active equipment to cause damage to the Volcanic Dragon, and don't even think about superfluous thoughts."
In the center of the square, the black, who was being discussed by everyone, completely closed the golden dragon's eye and fell into a deep sleep.
But at the same time, a huge will, as if the great will of the earth incarnation and the origin of life, had also come here because of the violent energy fluctuations that had never appeared in this world before.
"It's ......"
In the void, the huge will slowly observed Ryoma's body: "Refining the bloodline of the black dragon...... How could the descendants of the deep sea volcano, the incarnation of fire in the water, appear in this world......"
It seemed to be a little puzzled: "For more than a thousand years, I haven't heard from my hometown since I left...... Where did it come from? β
Although I can't think of a reason, I am still very happy to meet a familiar being: "The concentration of elements in the atmosphere is too low, causing physical discomfort?" It's my fault...... Then give you strength. β
With the thought of this will, an incomparably thick elemental appeared around the black body, and Ryoma was immediately awakened, and it looked around in amazement, the magic and elemental light surrounded it like a rainbow, this is the elemental power that is far denser than that in Sigma Volcano.
ββWhat's going on?
It's unclear what happened, but Black was still a horse - or a dragon - and it never dwelled on such trivial things, but happily absorbed the elements to regain its strength.
ββBut these elements seem to have a bit of a scent of herbs?
In just a few breaths, Hei regained his basic physical strength, and the golden core on his chest also returned to its original brilliance, and the researchers in the research institute who watched this scene were suddenly even more glad that they hadn't done anything before-this kind of recovery speed, I'm afraid that the other party would have recovered its full glory if it wasn't even too late for the car to drive over.
The great will watched this scene, and then slowly disappeared into the void.
It also needs to be dormant, the heavy damage of a thousand years ago has not yet healed, this time to see a familiar existence appear once is already an exception, the next time it appears in this world, it may take a long time.
And the sky was slowly rotating, and the ten-ring light wheel magic circle covering the entire sky was gradually disappearing behind the sky, its appearance and disappearance were as mysterious as no sound or omen.
Things in the world of Irgena have come to an end for the time being, and in the Mycrof continent, the Northern Empire, the Holy City of the Three Mountains.
Joshua had arrived with Brandon in the heart of the inner city, in front of the royal residence, in front of the Morlay Palace.
