In the abyss of Anos, the overwhelming sea water is pouring down, with the Time Number as the center, except for it, there is no more fire of life burning within a radius of several kilometers, and the heavens and the earth are plunged into darkness, and only thunder and thunder can tear through this dead silence. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The surging tide was full of corpses and minced flesh of sea beasts that had turned upside down and exposed their bellies, and the hot air rose from the foul-smelling seawater, turning into a red mist, and there were bursts of wails and screams from the clouds, like hell.

But there will be a time when the waves will eventually subside.

The sea beasts' offensive has been wiped out by the Church's exploration team, and even the black dragon hidden behind the scenes has been killed by the warriors empty-handed.

The battle came to an end for the time being, and as Robzek's order was given, the White Ark started again, and the engines hummed, driving the huge hull through the waves.

Their destination was the sea where Joshua and the Black Dragon fought for the last time.

In the red mist, there was a black giant floating with the waves, and it was vaguely visible that it was the body and head of a giant dragon, and it could be seen that its limbs and tail had been torn off by the great brute force, and it was thrown in other parts of the sea without care.

And on this dragon's body, the continuous sound of bones shattering sounded one after another.

Joshua walked with a serious face, he stepped on the huge back of the black dragon, and with each step, he shattered a large piece of dragon bones on the soles of his feet, and the black-red fighting qi invaded, smoothing out all the magic runes engraved on the dragon's bones.

In this way, the warrior walked step by step from the dragon's back to the dragon's neck, and wherever he passed, the huge magic power contained in the black dragon's body dissipated with the wind, turning into a blurred colored light in the clouds.

He came to the head of the dragon, and Joshua stood between the dragon's horns, bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "Don't play dead, Granty, I know you're still alive." ”

The black dragon didn't react to this sentence, its eyes lost their luster, and the dragon pupils that were originally as dazzling as amethysts were now like two purple stones, completely losing the breath of life.

The large, hideous skull was covered in scars, its jaws were completely beaten into a puddle of minced flesh as if it had been hit by a giant hammer, its tongue and strong dragon teeth were mutilated, and black blood flowed from its slightly open dragon's mouth, staining large swathes of water black.

By any measure, it's dead

But Joshua didn't take it, his arm shook, and his right hand, which could divide gold and iron, thrust into the towering dragon horn at his side, and then the warrior didn't say a word, and pulled it upwards with all his might.

Smack!

A clear cracking sound sounded, and the dragon horn, which was originally several meters high, broke in response, revealing the skull connected to it at the bottom, and Joshua stepped on it again, and suddenly a large piece of flesh and bone flew out and fell into the sea.

And on the head of the black dragon, a large black hole that went straight to the cranial cavity also appeared.

Seeing that Granty hadn't reacted yet, the warrior couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he stretched out a finger at the black brain hole, and a black-red beam of fighting energy appeared out of thin air, and this beam pierced directly into the black dragon's skull, as if to stir the brain into a puddle of mud.

And at this moment, an incomparably thin layer of magical mist appeared in front of the Dou Qi beam, barely blocking the warrior's attack.

"I know you're alive."

Seeing this, Joshua stopped continuing to attack, and he calmly said to the black brain hole: "I don't like nonsense, and then I will ask you to answer, as long as you have a good attitude, obey orders, and behave positively, I will not destroy your soul and hand you over to the Church of the Seven Gods." ”

“…… Can I surrender. ”

After a moment of silence, as the spiritual power vibrate, an old and helpless voice echoed in the warrior's heart: "I said, I said, as long as it can spare my life......"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Shaking his head, Joshua pointed a little in his right hand, and there was another black-red beam of fighting energy, and this time the black dragon did not have the strength to condense its few magic power blocks, and suddenly, the spiritual power that vibrated in the warrior's mind immediately collapsed, and it slowly reunited after a long time.

And in the brain hole, under the light of the Dou Qi, you can see a gray worm-like thing shaking in the black dragon's skull, it was stabbed by the Dou Qi beam, and now it is curling up in pain. At first glance, it looks like a brain, but it can move alone, and even a thin layer of black dragon scales can be faintly seen on the complex folds.

Deathsmoke Grant had long since transformed himself into a half-undead creature, and its body had been easily refined into various magical equipment by itself, and the black dragon did not even let go of its own brain.

"Abyss Reincarnation...... But only to the brain. ”

Looking at the disgusting brain that seemed to be made up of abyssal worms, Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm starting to wonder if you're Granty, or the abyss demon who stole Granty's body. ”

"Say it." The warrior didn't pay much attention to this, and he condescendingly said to the strange mass of biomass, "Why did you come to the Abyss of Anos? A black dragon lord of the extreme level who was extremely effective in warfare actually did not besiege the holy mountain, but instead ran to block the exploration team of the church. ”

“…… Because of the orders of the Presbyterian Council, my ability is good at suppressing a wide area, but it is an indiscriminate attack, and it is easy to accidentally injure allies, and it is my job to clear negative energy from the Church of the Seven Gods, so I am seriously restrained. ”

The black dragon learned to be obedient this time, and it answered the warrior's questions one by one, no matter how big or small: "The Abyss of Anos is related to the plan of the Council of Elders, and I have been sent to cooperate with the other black dragon to guard it. ”

"What plan? Why are you holding us back from going to the central maelstrom? ”

"I don't know." The speed of the black dragon's spiritual communication was very fast, as if he was afraid that the warrior would misunderstand: "I joined halfway, and the task is to cooperate with my companions, and all the plans are in its own hands, and it didn't say why when it sent me and other sea beasts to block you from approaching the maelstrompool." ”

"Yes."

As if he could easily distinguish the truth of the other party's words, Joshua didn't even hesitate, and continued to ask: "Who is your companion, and why are there clans of the famine evil gods mixed among the sea beasts attacking this time?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand a little more, and the straight beam of Dou Qi directly submerged into the black dragon's skull, and this Dou Qi broke through several layers of barriers mixed with invisibility, breath obscure, and weakened spells, and fixed a brain-shaped worm the size of a human head that was sneaking towards the crack of the bone, and the black-red Dou Qi turned into flames, completely burning it to ashes.

Faintly, the killing intent fluctuated and spread, a piece of soul fragment in this small worm was devoured, the spirit of the black dragon collapsed again, and the huge brain-shaped worm in the cranial cavity also began to cramp and curl up frantically, the warrior looked at all this coldly, and after a long time, Granty slowly recovered.

“…… You, you can actually eat my soul?! ”

This time, the black dragon was really scared.

As a spellcaster, Granty's spiritual world is simply indestructible, not to mention Joshua, a half-, even if the real abyss demon comes to carry out all kinds of torture, it may not be able to pry open its mouth, plus some of the arrangements made by the black dragon before, even if the soul is completely destroyed, there is a glimmer of hope for rebirth.

The reason why it cooperated so much before was mainly because the black dragon wanted to delay time and find a way out, and its modified brain was able to split itself and separate a side brain carrying soul fragments, which could grow on its own and be reborn again as a complete 'Dead Smoke Granty' after the destruction of the body.

The little worm containing a trace of its soul was discovered, then the only possibility of its escape was gone, but the most important thing was not this, the black dragon was shocked to find that his soul fragment did not return to the body, but disappeared completely, and was swallowed by the strange power in the warrior's fighting spirit.

Even Grant couldn't guarantee that its soul would be reborn after being consumed by this power.

"I said, don't talk nonsense, have the right attitude."

Joshua didn't care about the black dragon's attitude, he just warned: "Otherwise, next time, there will be more than that." ”

Under the threat of soul annihilation, which is far beyond death, Granty's attitude is indeed much more correct, and he actively cooperates with the interrogation of the warriors, and simply and neatly utters a lot of information.

"My companion's name is Mandagar, the Dead Dragon, and its name should be familiar to the older generation of Far Southerners."

The black dragon's mental fluctuations were much weaker, but the speed of transmitting information was three points faster than before: "Mandagarh is one of my few friends, it once almost died at the hands of a holy sword envoy in the Far South, and I performed a 'soul suppression ceremony' for it, fixing its dissipating soul to its dead body...... But a few decades ago, it faded out of sight, and even I didn't have much contact. ”

Speaking of this, there was a hint of doubt in Granty's tone: "Famine Evil God, what is that?" The name of a certain Abyss Lord? ”

Listening to the tone, it really didn't know what the famine god was.

This is very normal, in fact, the vast majority of people in this world do not know the name of the evil god, only a few families who guard the sealed land, as well as the high-level leaders of the Church of the Seven Gods and the heads of the major forces know some of the secrets, although Grant is a black dragon lord of the extreme level, and has also destroyed a small country, but what it knows outside the world of Microf is nothing more than 'there are many worlds in the multiverse', and for those ancient evils, it also knows the abyss at most.

It seemed that it didn't even know that the barren predator under its command was a member of the evil god, and maybe it really thought it was some kind of strange demon, but in fact, there was a big difference between the evil god's chaotic power that originated from nothingness and the demonic power that originated from chaos and destruction.

"That's ...... All right. ”

Nodding slightly, Joshua also understood that although Granty was powerful, he had not entered the inner circle of the Five-Colored Dragon Clan's plan, he thought for a moment, and then continued to ask indifferently, "Why are you blocking us from going to the Central Maelstrom?" What are your companions doing now? ”

"Mandagarh is having a big magic ritual at this time, and it can't be disturbed by anyone, and it won't even let me help, but wants me to come and stop you."

The black dragon replied almost the moment the warrior asked the question, and it seemed to have guessed that Joshua was going to ask the question: "Immediately, the central maelstrom will be hidden by the magic barrier, and Mandagar will continue to complete his ritual." ”

Without asking Joshua to speak, he knew that Grant definitely didn't know anything about the ritual, but the black dragon had some guesses: "I don't know why, Mandagar's body is rejuvenated and full of life, I originally thought it was using the same reincarnation magic as me to change the body, but now I think about it is a little weird...... Its ritual is also very strange, it is different from the power of any lord in the abyss, but it also has an aura of evil originating from ancient times......"

Speaking of which, it also kindly reminded: "After me, there are three monsters that are close to the extreme level will come to stop you, they are relatively slow, but I can already feel their breath." ”

After listening, Joshua narrowed his eyes, he almost understood the general information, and just at this moment, the red clouds and mist in the surrounding sea slowly dissipated, and the white ark was also heading in this direction.

After thinking about it, the warrior shook his head with some regret: "It's a pity, Granty, you didn't cooperate enough before, and you knew too little, I will destroy your soul instead of handing you over to the Church of the Seven Gods and let them dispose of it." ”

When he said this, he was above board and did not hide anything from the black dragon: "You can resist or you can run away, and as a reward for answering my question, I give you this opportunity and will not devour your soul." ”

The warrior disdains to break his promise, and he lets Granty do it to see if the black dragon can surprise him.

-- On the Ark.

The huge corpse of the black dragon had already been discovered, and the dragon's claws, still wrapped in a circle of magical brilliance, floated with the waves and caught by the sailors of the ark.

Saya's transcendent vision was best used in this situation, and she easily spotted the warrior standing on the dragon's head between the clouds and mist, and guided the ark in the direction of its head.

However, as they slowed down and approached Joshua, the red mist in the sky was dispersed by a majestic fighting spirit, and countless black-red flames spread out from Granty's mutilated dragon body and shattered it like a biscuit.

Countless flaming dragon corpse fragments streaked through the air in dark red arcs, and then submerged into the sea, and at this time, Joshua also flew straight in the direction of the ark.

The warrior landed on the deck, and the large pit he had stepped on was conspicuous, and the black dragon girl rushed forward with joy and threw herself into Joshua's arms, she seemed to habitually want to stick out her tongue, but her head was held down by a large hand.

Joshua solemnly stopped Hei's habitual intimate movements - not for any other reason, because the black dragon girl's human form would definitely spew dragon breath as long as she opened her mouth, and the last time he was 'plotted' like this, half of the flesh in his chest was almost cooked.

The warrior responded to the crowd who came to inquire about his health, but because of the urgency of time, he did not elaborate on the process of killing Grant and interrogating his soul, and everyone only knew that Joshua had fought hard and killed the black dragon, and had received some information from its mouth.

"Ritual?"

Hearing this word, Lolanda's eyes suddenly sharpened, he thought for a while, and then said to Joshua solemnly: "Near the abyss rift, hold a ritual related to the evil god?" What is Mandagarh ready to do? Let the evil gods invade the abyss? ”

Glancing at the jealous and vengeful blonde paladin, the warrior knew that this guy, who looked sunny and handsome now, had degenerated into a human traitor who opened the door to the abyss after more than ten years in his previous life. Although it is only a rumor, it is unlikely, but at least there is definitely a little connection.

And his question, it's really not impossible, in the previous life of the abyss invasion, there was obviously more than one evil god's handiwork, just a few abyss lords, demon lords, there was no way to break the seal of the sage.

In this regard, Joshua patiently explained: "I don't know anything about these problems, and Granty doesn't know either, the only thing we can do now is to rush to the central maelstrom as soon as possible and kill the black dragon." ”

"Not bad." On the side, Robzek nodded approvingly: "Although we don't know the essence of the problem, if we destroy it, the problem will be solved naturally." ”

He looked like Joshua was in the same personality now, which couldn't help but make Saya who was standing on the side sigh slightly.

Ciel and Fina weren't involved in the discussion, they weren't interested in the issues, and the two talked softly, not knowing what to say.

And at this very moment.

In the sky obscured by clouds, a huge rune appeared on the clouds.

This rune was strange and distorted, revealing an aura of blasphemy and depravity, and it was so different that everyone present noticed it in the first place.

The moment many of the crew saw this rune, they immediately fell to their knees with a painful wail, covering their eyes, and the evil power stimulated their nerves through their sight.

The powerful people naturally did not have any adverse reactions, but their faces were extremely serious, and behind this rune was the power of chaos, which made everyone's heartbeat involuntarily beat faster.

It is clear that the unknown ritual has begun, and the forces from the other world are leaning against the chasm of the abyss, eroding a part of the Abyss of Anos.

And in the sea not far away, three huge chaotic auras were approaching the ark.

"Don't fight them."

Speaking decisively, Joshua turned his head to look at Saya and Ciel, and he said solemnly, "In which direction is the maelstrom?" ”

Without nonsense, Saya immediately pointed in a direction, and Ciel, sensing the current, corrected it slightly.

Then, at Robzek's orders, the Ark of Time was activated again, the magic engine hummed, and it began to speed towards the matrompool.

But the ark wasn't fast enough, and a moment later, a second twisted rune appeared in the sky.

Hei was rubbing his head against the warrior's waist, Joshua touched her head, then frowned, looking into the distance, his extraordinary vision could already see that between the tides were three huge crystal monsters swimming rapidly, according to the speed of the ark, they could easily catch up with them with a slight correction of angle.

"No, let me do it."

Making a decisive decision, Joshua went to the bow of the ship.

A majestic fighting spirit poured out of his body.

Fighting spirit, the power of life, comes from a strong body and a tenacious will, and like magic, it has the potential to change reality.

Because of the Azure Orb and the large number of Chaos Monsters he slaughtered, the warrior's fighting spirit was endless, far surpassing gold, and the huge fighting energy that even the senior Jiyi did not possess spread out from Joshua's muscles, internal organs, and bones, and then attached to the ark.

Gradually, in the eyes of everyone who gradually understood, the entire part of the ark that touched the surface of the water was covered with crimson fighting energy.

"Stand firm, guys."

Joshua controlled his fighting spirit, distributed in all corners of the ark according to the focus, his hands crossed in front of his chest, and looked into the distance with a hint of a smile in his red eyes: "It's time to speed up." ”

After finishing speaking, countless black and red fighting qi erupted at the same time, and the terrifying impact exploded, carrying the ark at a rapid speed, it broke through the waves, reducing resistance, and suddenly the speed of the Time was more than doubled compared to before, and the three-headed chaos monster was instantly pulled away for a long distance.

Ride the wind and break the waves.
