Chapter 35: The Rain of Steel Crystals
Joshua looked up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
His gaze passed through the gray hazy mist to the black canopy above the distant sky, where the blue-white thunder and lightning were raging wildly, blooming one after another with a bright trace, and soon a low rumbling roar came from afar, and the thunder gradually became faint until it disappeared.
But that's not the end.
With a slight 'whoosh' sound, a violent wind suddenly rose from the distant earth, and the air flow swirled, carrying countless dust and sand into the sky, forming a huge wind curtain, and the gray mist all over the earth was gathered by this wind, turning into gray rivers hanging in the sky.
The gray fog dissipated, and the vision suddenly became clear.
The wind swept across the flat plains, and even the people standing in the extreme distance were blown by the aftermath, and their hair flew, and even Kleel, who was thinking about the dangerous situation of her own declining power, could not help but raise her head, and she saw that above the heavens, the black canopy of heaven rolled like a whirlpool.
The extreme cold invaded the earth in this instant, and the temperature on the plains was not mild, but now it dropped to an extreme cold that was even colder than the coldest winter day, and the earth was covered with a layer of frost, and the ice crystals and snowflakes condensed and fell in the void, and in just a few breaths, the gray dust plain turned white.
If it were an ordinary person, it would freeze to death in an instant, but fortunately, there are three golden powerhouses here and a weapon that ignores the cold and heat, even if it is because of the loss of connection with nature, Cleel, whose strength has decreased a little, will not be afraid of this temperature.
The chaotic mutation in the distance brought thunder and snow, and everyone could see that a black pillar of wind appeared in the distant sky, which was a tornado, and with the tornado was a torrential rain.
"Whoa-la-la-"
The strange and clear sound resounded between the heavens and the earth, and the torrential rain quickly approached from far to near, expanding to the location where everyone was, and under Moria's stunned gaze, countless translucent crystals with a hint of silver-white luster fell from the sky like raindrops.
"Crystals of Steel?!"
The old dwarf could discern the essence of these crystals by just looking at them, and his beard trembled in surprise. Resisting the cleaning of the crystallized rain with a golden-red fighting spirit, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed a handful of crystals in his hand, the silver-white gem shimmered with a blurry light, and the powerful and pure steel power overflowed, which made Moria almost unable to breathe: "So many?!" Such precious materials, unexpectedly, are now raining down like ......"
The tone floated, even as the tallest casting of the rune dwarves of the Northlands, he had never been so extravagant, speaking of this, Moria seemed to remember something, the old dwarf looked around and muttered: "Legend has it that at the beginning of the birth of the world and when it was on the verge of destruction, a large amount of free steel power was condensed into crystallization...... Is this the time to speak? ”
"It's not like the world was born at the beginning."
Kleel whispered on the side, the green magic condensed into a thorny shadow, resisting the invasion of the crystalline rain for her, and the elf druid's expression seemed to be a little unhappy: "Obviously, this world is on the verge of destruction, which is why there is such a strange scene, and this is the only reason why I can't even feel the slightest force of nature." ”
The force of nature, which originates from the power of all living beings, is similar to the life force in living beings, but it is not the same, it is an existence between fighting spirit and magic, it is a force born in the biosphere, with all kinds of strange uses, druids rely on it to give birth to trees, transform species and plants, and get better offspring and seeds.
Generally speaking, as long as the biosphere exists, the force of nature will not disappear, but now Clere does not feel its call, which is enough to prove that this world has long been dead and there is no longer any life.
Joshua was bathed in a torrential rain of crystals, letting these hard gems hit him with a thumping sound, and at his side, the crimson vindictive energy propped up a rain shield to help Rin resist the crystals falling from the sky.
He stretched out his hand and caught a steel crystal, Joshua was keenly aware that the gray mist around him had all disappeared, and the gradual decrease in energy in his body had also improved, but as time passed, both the steel crystal that landed on the ground and the crystal that he held in his hand were rapidly turning black and red, until finally, all of them turned into the same one he had found on Hotaru before
Moria and Cleel naturally noticed this first point, even Rin turned his head to look at the warrior with a surprised expression, Joshua nodded, and said, "It is indeed the same breath, it seems that the steel crystal we checked before came from the current crystal rainstorm." ”
With that, he continued to look up into the distance.
In the distance, the black cloud curtain was still churning, and the tornado and blue-white thunder continued to flicker.
There, it is the source of the diffusion of crystalline rain, and ...... What's going on?
Thinking suspiciously, all this is beyond the scope of Joshua's experience, even if it is the abyss that has fallen to the end of chaos, it is very different from this world, at this time, he is going to use the system to see what the situation is.
Turn on the system, and immediately there are countless messages swiping the screen.
[You have entered the apocalyptic world: Karliss of Famine]
[This world is suitable for human life, and you don't have to pay extra for survival.] 】
【Warning! The world is corrupted by chaos and is very dangerous! 】
【Warning! The world is on the verge of destruction and is very dangerous! 】
[Synopsis: Callith is a once glorious magical world, giving birth to a great and brilliant civilization, but in a disaster that happened more than 1,100 years ago, the civilization became extinct, and the world gradually slipped into the abyss of destruction. 】
[Status: Chaotic Erosion: The aura of chaos erodes your body, causing your body to gradually weaken, your perception to decrease, and all your attributes to drop by one level. (Due to the Unburned Fire trait, you are not affected by this status)
-- Breath and death from the end. 】
[Status and Mana Drain: The surrounding low-energy environment affects your strength, causing your magic, fighting energy, and the upper limit of various special energy gauges to temporarily decrease.
-- Being imprisoned in a prison without miracles is the greatest pain of the strong. 】
[State・Fireless World: A world of ashes burned out, without souls and without any life, unimaginable loneliness and rejection from the world torment you, you need to pay soul points to maintain the light of your existence.]
-- When civilization collapses, life becomes extinct, wisdom fades away, and order does not exist...... This is the day when the wages will be exhausted. 】
Looking like the situation was very critical, Joshua couldn't help but frown.
But now, the two states of Demonic Energy Drain and Fireless World are grayed out, which means that they have been temporarily stopped and replaced by a state called Purification of Steel.
[Purification of Status: The power of steel from the beginning of the creation of the world will re-erupt in the end of the world, and it can be effective even in a world without fire.] Expelled the vast majority of negative statuses.
-- The pulse of the world and the counterattack are the will of steel.
"It seems that the world is really on the verge of destruction."
Seeing the original three negative states, Joshua couldn't help but think so, chaos erosion is okay, the loss of magic energy and the world without fire undoubtedly prove that this world is on the verge of extinction, and even the existence of magic and soul cannot support it, but the purification of steel in the end proves that this world is at least trying to save the situation, and it is a bit saved.
After determining the current situation, Joshua turned around and said to Moriah and Cleel, who were still observing the Crystal Rain, "I think, you two, we should move in that direction. ”
As he spoke, he pointed in the direction where the thunder and tornado had appeared earlier, and as his vision became much clearer and everyone could see, there were many peaks and hills in that direction.
"Why?"
The old dwarf was still looking at the steel crystal in his hand with reluctance, and this time it was Cleel who was the first to raise doubts.
"Because that's the only place in this barren world where there's light and movement—the rain of steel crystals is spreading from that direction, and don't you think you're in much better shape now?"
