In the countless worlds of the multiverse, there will always be more or less regions that are revered as sacred places by the races that inhabit the local world for some widespread or unknown reason. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Maybe it's because of religion, maybe it's history, maybe it's because of a great battle or some great technological invention, maybe maybe a great man was born or died here, but in short, these places are so special that every move attracts people's attention.

The Continent of Mycrove, the Far Sea in the South, the Seven Sacred Mountains - the Church of the Seven Gods of the Human Race built the first temple here 834 years ago, and determined the common calendar of the continent, it is located at the top of this high mountain, because the designers are mixed with dwarf elves, so the original temple, that is, the current Grand Temple, combines the characteristics of many civilizations.

There is no doubt that the Seven Gods, as the faith of seventy percent of the population of the entire continent, and the seat of their original church, would naturally be called the Holy Land, but regrettably, this Holy Land rarely seems to have had real peace, and since its construction, war has never disappeared from the perimeter of the Holy Mountain.

Storms, huge waves, tsunamis, the invasion of the Fish-Man Empire, the impact of the deep-sea monsters, the lurking destruction from the cult, and the siege of the undead army, in history, the Far South Fishmen alone have carried out five large-scale attacks on the Holy Mountain, and these once-thriving races have called on the giant beasts lurking in the deep sea as mounts and the tsunami as the vanguard, intending to directly wipe out the Church of the Seven Gods from the far sea.

But as a result, the Fish-Man's Ocean Empire was divided, and the two branches were forced to migrate between the coastal areas of the Eastern Plains and the seas of the Thousand Islands in the West Mountains.

The perennial war has gradually turned the Far Sea Sacred Mountain into a large fortress, from the outside, it seems to be just a group of temples built on an island, with scattered towns and fortifications on it, but in fact, this land is soaked in divine light, and the ubiquitous divine magic circle has long connected those seemingly scattered temples and towns into one, forming an unprecedentedly large composite divine magic position.

Since the completion of the construction of this divine position, there are very few forces that dare to attack the Church of the Seven Gods, and it has brought peace to the Holy Mountain for nearly a hundred years, but a hundred years later, in 833 years of Star Fall, another force is ready to show its minions to the Church of the Seven Gods, which has been peaceful for a long time.

"Woohoohoo————"

It was dark as ink, the wind was howling, the clouds were rolling in the sky, and the storm in the far sea never stopped.

Summer is typhoon season, and if you look down from the sky, you can see a huge cyclone starting from the tropical sea and slowly moving towards the southern continent, and the holy mountain is right in the cyclone's path.

The wind was strong enough to blow the trees apart, and the waves were seven or eight meters high, and in such weather, no ship could sail except for the arks, which were built with magic and magic, and even schools of fish and sea beasts dived into the deep sea.

However, there were other voices faintly heard in the wind, it seemed to be the roar of some kind of fierce beast, and it seemed to be a cry of panic, a middle-aged priest who was patrolling around to see if the magic circle was working well raised his head with some doubts, he looked at the surging clouds in the north, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The rainstorm was approaching, and the distant sky was blurred, and the priest could see nothing, but his keen perception allowed him to distinguish the shattering roar of the wind.

- It was the roar of a dragon.

"What happened to the group of dragons blocking the Holy Mountain?" He muttered to himself in a low voice, the middle-aged priest couldn't be sure about this, but he knew that every time there was a storm, it was an opportunity for the dragon to invade, and before today, those hideous-looking lizards had tentatively attacked the Holy Mountain four times, and it stands to reason that they should have come to the vicinity of the Holy Mountain by now and began to fly around the island, looking for vulnerable areas to attack.

But the fact is that not a single wyvern has appeared now, but there is a roar in the distance that only a dragon can only let out because of its injuries.

"Looks like something unexpected, don't tell me the dragon will be injured by the wind." Shaking his head slightly, the middle-aged priest turned around and prepared to return to the temple to report the situation to the higher-ups, but before he had taken a few steps, a continuous explosion appeared in the distant sky, and this violent roar even overshadowed the roar of the wind that swept the heavens and the earth.

Turning his head in shock, the pastor saw such a scene.

Four slender pillars of red light emerged from a small spot in the distance, then rapidly extended towards the outside, and after a few seconds, it exploded violently, the blazing light tearing through the gloomy sky, staining most of the sky with blood.

Even though he was on an island, blown by the damp sea breeze, the priest couldn't help but feel a little hot from the light, but the rainbow light of the magic didn't last long, and after a few seconds, all the red light that stained the sky was gone, and the roar of the dragon was clearer.

Without hesitation, he immediately turned back, and the middle-aged priest ran in the direction of the main temple with all his might, he knew that there was a fierce battle between someone and the dragon in the distance, and that might be the rumored reinforcements.

And the battle that belongs to them is also coming.

- North of the Holy Mountain, high in the open sea.

The icy rain drifted in midair, and the water vapor falling from the clouds mixed with the wind with a speed of more than fifty meters per second washed over everything on the ship.

The forces of nature are so angry, as if they want to use this wind to completely overturn this steel beast, but the giant ship is not moved at all, although the wind is strong, but it cannot be stronger than the crystallization of magic, inside the ship's armor, layer after layer of magic runes emerge, weakening the impact of these winds, and even converting them into power, making itself faster and faster.

In the clouds, rain, and wind, it flew rapidly towards the Holy Mountain in the distance, and around the battleship, there was a near-endless swarm of wyverns.

Thousands of crazy dragon beasts flapped their wings and chased after this giant ship in the sky, these monsters wanted to get close several times, but they were blocked by layers of hexagonal magic shields, and the incomparably solid elemental structure could even withstand the spitting of dragon breath, not to mention ordinary physical attacks, at the same time, the alchemy cannons on both sides of the giant ship's hull were firing continuously, forming a set of extremely tight firepower nets, knocking down all those flying dragons that were too close.

Although the power of the magic energy focusing cannon is great, but the cooldown time is also long, since it has been launched just now, it can only be suppressed by alchemy artillery in a short period of time, it just happens that the wisdom of the dragons is almost nothing, and the cooperation is completely absent, the alchemy cannon may not be able to kill them with one blow, but it can perfectly block the attack of these monsters.

But there are always accidents, just when the magic energy focusing cannon is about to cool down, a strange magic fluctuation around the alien wyvern around the strange trajectory, simply and neatly through the giant ship's firepower network, it ignores the wind around it, swoops down from the sky, and swoops straight to the right side of the giant ship.

The wyvern looked like a demon in the abyss, a pair of bats with barbed scales on its wings, its two pairs of dragon horns with demonic spiral patterns, and its eyes were frantically purple blue, and the alien wyvern roared angrily towards the steel giant, its target was the muzzle of the four magic focusing cannons before.

As one of the leaders of the Wild Dragons, the Xenomorph Wyvern, who still retains a little wisdom, can understand that it is the real dangerous thing, and it needs to be destroyed as soon as possible, even if it costs his own life.

But before it could turn around and fly towards the muzzle, it saw a black-red blade flash in midair.

The blade broke through the mist, with a sharp explosion, it slashed heavily on the neck of the wyvern, the dragon scales that were harder than steel were torn apart by the air blade that came out of thin air like tofu, and the wyvern's hideous face froze abruptly, and it didn't even realize when it was attacked when it died.

And the qi blade still did not stop the trajectory after slashing down the alien wyvern with close to gold-level strength, this black-red line of fighting qi extended to the wyvern cluster, and then swept abruptly, and in an instant, dozens of mad wyverns were cut into two by it, wailing and falling towards the sea.

On the deck of the Galewind, Joshua, who had killed dozens of wyverns with a single sword out of thin air, held a big sword and a giant axe, and looked straight ahead indifferently, he walked step by step to the corpse of the alien wyvern that fell on the deck, without saying a word.

The warrior's steps were slow, but heavy as a mountain peak, and the icy rain could not get close to his body, because if he did, it would be evaporated into a cloud of white vapor by the black-red flames of fighting energy.

On one side, the huge Steel Elemental Primordial had lifted the body of the Xenomorph Wyvern and sent it to Joshua's eyes, and the warrior glanced at it and saw the origin of the strange Wyvern.

"Demon Wyvern, a degraded version of the Demon Blood Dragon, no wonder it will be used as cannon fodder."

Shaking his head with some disdain, Qiao Siya's face was expressionless: "The five-colored dragon is sending this kind of goods to surround the holy mountain?" ”

That's really looking down on the foundation of the Church of the Seven Gods for nearly a thousand years, you know, it is the origin of the clergy of the entire continent, the sacred place where all the light shines.

As soon as Joshua's words fell, a low, angry roar came from above the clouds.

"Human, stop!"

The roar was like thunder, shaking the atmosphere, and the rain clouds that were surging in the distance were shaken open in an instant by the violent sound waves, revealing a hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters, and in the middle of this hollow, a giant dragon with a body that was obviously several circles larger than the other wyverns around it was flapping its wings and flying rapidly towards the direction where the Gale Wind was.

"Oh?"

Simply uttering a syllable, the warrior's gaze, which was originally a little disappointed because he didn't have a strong opponent, condensed, and he looked up at the black dragon shadow in the gloomy clouds, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes: "It's here now." ”

Joshua couldn't help but be a little eager to try, with the roar just now, he had just known the strength of the other party, which was an existence that was better than gold and had reached the realm of extreme intention.

The next battle was the first time he had fought with an opponent of the same level after advancing to the Extreme Intent, and the warrior didn't know what level his current strength had reached, so he just used the hand of this unknown black dragon to test it.

"Humans."

And the dragon has come to the front of the battleship, it is surrounded by a cloud of black smoke, this black dragon looked down at the soldiers on the deck of the steel battleship with some fear, like an amethyst eyes flowing with an inscrutable look: "Turn back, the front is not a place you can reach, turn around now, then I will not pursue you because of your strength." ”

It was a sturdy black dragon, its scales were complete and shiny, with a faint purple glow, its wings flowing with a distinct black floating light, and its back was visibly sharp with sharp backspines.

The ordinary wyverns around it, in comparison, are like the difference between human children and adults, even if it is a floating battleship, it is just a relatively large aerial spaceship to it.

"[Dead Smoke] Granty."

Squinting his eyes and recalling it, Joshua recognized the identity of the other party, and the corners of his mouth curled, revealing his white teeth: "It's actually you." ”

The black dragon in front of him is named [Dead Smoke] Granty.

Although it looks like a young adult dragon, it is actually more than two hundred and fifty years old, Granty once wreaked havoc on the Far South continent a hundred years ago, and even joined forces with another black dragon [Dead Dragon] Mandagar, together to destroy a small country next to the business alliance, looting treasures and precious resources, this behavior angered all the human kingdoms and the Church of the Seven Gods, thousands of dragon hunting orders were issued, wanted for these two murderous evil dragons, tens of thousands of hunting groups flocked to the Far South, searching for their traces.

In this case, even the elders of the five-colored dragon were silent, not daring to say more than half a word at this time.

It was under this circumstance that Mandagar, the [Dead Dragon] who was still swaggering in the Far South, was slashed half to death by a wielder of the Holy Sword, and the cautious Granty saw such a miserable fate for his friend, so he simply retreated to his lair and never appeared in front of the crowd again for a hundred years.

But even Joshua didn't expect that it would come here to attack the Holy Mountain instead of living in seclusion.

You must know that in the previous life, Granty's lair appeared in a small swamp in the Eastern Plains, and was only discovered by a legendary mage four or five years after the Dragon Calamity. The quest to find and assist the legendary mage in killing it is a chain of enormous quests that tens of thousands of players have spent a lot of time on.

A hundred years ago, [Death Smoke] Granty was already the pinnacle of gold, even the existence of the extreme will, coupled with the physical talent of the dragon, the ordinary human extreme will could not defeat it at all, and now it has reappeared in everyone's field of vision, but its strength has steadily entered the realm of extreme will.

Obviously, the magicians and captains on the Gale recognized the murderous dragon recorded in the history books, and they were collectively shocked when they saw each other's postures through the screen connected to the detection circle.

Qiao Shuya's strength, they are not very clear, although those rumors spread in the imperial capital have a certain true component, but most of them are a bit exaggerated, they know at most that Qiao Shuya is now in the Extreme Intention Realm, but no matter what, the dragon in front of them is also Extreme Intention, or an old powerhouse who has obviously entered the Extreme Intention Realm for decades.

Even if you ignore the innate qualities of humans and dragons, this is a decades of experience!

'Extreme Will' is the core of the strong from the body, soul and skills, even if Joshua is a genius and reaches this realm at the age of less than thirty, but Grant has also experienced a hundred years of training, and it is impossible to be worse than a warrior.

Suddenly, the rune array on the Gale began to operate in full, and the two magic energy furnace cores were fully loaded to refine energy, the middle-aged captain knew Joshua's character, and also understood that it was useless for this ferocious dragon to escape, and in the current situation, a fierce battle would definitely break out between this person and a dragon, but he wanted to ensure the safety of this floating battleship, and to help Joshua defeat this demon dragon.

Suspended in front of the battleship, Granty's body surged with darkness so deep that it could not penetrate the slightest light, it was a negative energy that was condensed to the extreme, even in the abyssal Styx, it was rare to find such a thick negative energy aggregate.

Every time this darkness surged, the black clouds and mist that gradually spread around it became thicker, and the overly powerful force even attracted the thunder in the atmosphere, and the moment the dark clouds and mist reached a certain limit, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and purple thunder snakes snaked in the sky above the black dragon, releasing terrifying power.

These powers were completely locked on Joshua's body, and the dragon stared closely at Joshua with his purple dragon pupils, as if waiting for the other party's answer, but the warrior did not react, he just stood there, silently confronting Granty.

The giant dragon in front of him behaved extremely cautiously, and after sensing that Joshua was also in the realm of extreme intent, he did not get close to the floating battleship for a hundred meters, it moved forward with the battleship, and kept a distance of hundreds of meters, even Joshua could not guarantee that he could launch a surprise attack at this distance that the other party could not react to.

But just as they were confronting, layers of black smoke suddenly emerged from the surrounding water vapor, covering the entire Galewind.

The reason why Grandi is called [Dead Smoke] is because this black dragon is so proficient in the use of negative energy that it can convert this pure negative energy into a long-lasting smoke form, forming its own domain, when it destroyed that small country in the far south together with Mandagar, it was it that used this negative energy smoke to engulf the capital of that country, killing hundreds of thousands of humans.

With the help of dense water vapor in the sky, the dead smoke was even more hidden, engulfing the warriors and the entire battleship without a sound.

Obviously, Grant had no intention of letting everyone go at all, it was just using the time of the warriors to use the dead smoke little by little to surround everyone, as an extremely will-level dragon lord, it was really cautious to an extreme.

"Whoa!"

However, a sound of steel resonating came from the smoke, and the black smoke that originally covered the hull of the ship was suddenly overshadowed by a thicker, more violent black-red fighting qi, and a silver-white giant sword pierced through the darkness, and the sword body trembled slightly under the action of the fighting qi, making the previous sonorous sound.

With the incomparably violent fluctuations of fighting spirit, the black smoke and water vapor that enveloped the entire battleship were completely cleansed.

"Will it only be a sneak attack?"

Without saying a second word, Joshua just gave a disdainful sneer, and then the figure disappeared in an instant.

The powerful force erupted under his feet, and the steel deck was also stepped out of a depression several meters deep, and the entire battleship even pressed down slightly, and under this kind of reaction force, the warrior crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, and came to the black dragon's body.

He let out a low sigh, clenched the silver greatsword in his right hand, and swept towards Granty's abdomen.

The warrior was the size of a dragon's palm, but his strength was no less than that of these behemoths.

Although Hotaru did not have any special magical effects, it was extremely hard, sharp enough to easily cut through steel and other weapons, and could be considered indestructible, even dragon scales could be easily cut off like torn paper.

Where the giant sword passed, the ink-like negative energy mist and water vapor were directly broken, and the strong shock wave bombarded Granty's body like a giant hammer of wind before the giant sword really arrived, and the surging negative energy mist around the black dragon was simply split in two, and the body began to shake violently.

But it was only a cloud of mist, the fog was dispersed, and Granty's huge figure disappeared at some point, and with the exclamation of the observers inside the battleship, the black dragon appeared silently behind the warrior.

[Mist Illusion] and [Shadow Raid]!

In front of the expressionless black dragon, there was a ball of energy that seemed to be formed by the convergence of shadows, in which a pure negative energy thunder was vibrating, and thin pieces of electric light flashed rapidly around this energy sphere, like a magic circle composed of thunder.

Obviously, Grant has not spent the past hundred years of silence, and it has been proficient in the water and negative energy talents in the black dragon's talent, and it can even use several powerful spells in a row to cover its body without any fluctuations, and then instantly teleport to Joshua's back and release a fatal blow.

If it weren't for its size, this black dragon could have been a formidable assassin.

But in the face of the huge collection of negative energy than himself, Joshua didn't care, as if he had known it for a long time, he slashed out the giant axe that had been stored in his left hand for a long time.

The black-red fighting qi vibrated rapidly on the jagged axe blade, emitting a scream that covered the thunder, and the piercing sound waves even caused the magic elements within tens of meters to begin to vibrate violently, and the black-red lines spread in all directions, and these fluctuations composed of fighting qi were like the axe blades of entities, driving an endless storm towards Granty.

There is a gap in size and weapon, but the blade formed by the fighting spirit does not, the huge size of the dragon dozens of meters long gives them strong physical strength and magic power accumulation, but it also makes it impossible for the dragon to dodge this overwhelming air blade attack, Joshua can not be afraid of death, ignoring Granty's spell, but the black dragon does not want to get hurt, it can only cancel the spell on its chest, and then fly backwards rapidly, widening the distance.

But how could Joshua let it distance itself so easily?

The thunder exploded, and a ring of white gas appeared in the air, and before the sound could appear, the warrior's form vanished, and he was in front of Granty again.

At this moment, Joshua could see every trace on the other party's body, this legendary brutal black dragon had countless scars on its body, these scars were well covered by its black scales, and at this time, Granty's amethyst-like dragon eyes stared closely at the small warrior on its chest, and a strange syllable came out of its mouth.

【Decree of Restraint】

The strange fluctuation was released from the mouth of the black dragon, and it acted on Joshua's body almost instantly, as a Extreme Will-level existence, Grant had many ways to avoid the warrior's blow, but it did not dodge, but prepared to fight head-on, while issuing a legal order to freeze, the black dragon grabbed hard towards his chest, and the huge dragon claws were enough to easily crush the solid rock and steel, even if he couldn't hit the warrior hard, he could make him fall into the downwind.

But unfortunately, the moment the strange power of the law touched Joshua's body, on the warrior's bones, the layer of mysterious runes flowing with light trembled, and the power of divinity flashed, releasing a dazzling light, and the power of the law was suppressed by a higher level of power, completely losing its effect.

The warrior's axe slashed straight out towards the black dragon's chest without any condensation.

Although the divine machine that Rin incarnated was strong, it was also pushed to the limit by the power of the warrior, and the original black giant axe blade had turned into a dazzling red light, which was so powerful that it even drowned Joshua himself, not only that, but the surrounding darkness and even Granty's figure were swallowed up.

Then, there was a loud bang.

The observers in the battleship, and even the clergy who had begun to observe the distant sea holy mountain, could only see that in the high sky full of black clouds, a black-red star suddenly appeared, and this star quickly expanded, and then exploded, thousands of flying dragons were turned into ashes by the aftermath of the star's explosion, and the remaining shock wave dispersed the clouds within several kilometers, and the turbulent air currents and typhoons clashed, forming several temporary tornadoes, and a low wail of anger echoed in the atmosphere.

Without hesitation, a huge black shadow turned into a streamer of light and flew rapidly into the distance, and it simply plunged into the thick clouds and disappeared

Everyone was stunned.

And suspended in mid-air, only had time to slash out such an axe, and Qiao Shuya, who had not yet followed up with other follow-up attacks, stared at the giant axe in his right hand, and the black giant axe still had a red light remaining on the blade, releasing a trace of terrifying aura.

His voice was unprecedentedly alarmed: "Rin, are you okay?!" ”
