It's a scorched earth world. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky was obscured by gray smoke, and the sun's rays could only see a small dim yellow dot, while above the earth, the forests were burning, the hills and grasslands were scorched, and the corpses of countless people and beasts were scattered among them, and in the gray haze, only seven huge portals could be seen standing on the distant mountain peaks, from which the red light was projected, like seven dim suns.

Looking through the portal, you can see blood-red skies and red lava lakes, as well as a series of hideous fortresses forged from bone and black iron, in which countless winged monsters roar.

This is the scene of the Molten Sea Hell on the closest level of the [Abyss] to the Mycrof Continent, and those monstrous fortresses are the camps of the demon army.

Joshua's will was suspended in mid-air, and he stared at the scene, the light of the burning fire reflected in his red eyes, and the warrior was silent, except for the crackling sound of the burning forest.

And the silence lasted until another fluctuation of will appeared on its side.

"Unexpectedly, you have actually seen the opening of the Abyss Gate......"

A voice, out of thin air, ethereal and holy, echoed as if many people were speaking at the same time, and its tone was very surprising: "You also lived through that era? Or can you see the future? ”

"Who are you?"

Without answering the other party's question, Joshua didn't look back, he stared at the seven huge portals in the distance, and asked in a calm tone, "Let me see this illusion, what do you want to do?" ”

"This is not an illusion, the inheritor of the power of the sages."

The voice said slowly, "This is a scene you have experienced or seen, and all I have done is provide a 'blank' scene, and you recall it. ”

“…… Anyway, if there is any purpose, let's say it quickly. ”

The other party had no ill intentions, which was the reason why Joshua was able to communicate patiently with this voice, but there was a limit to this patience, and the warrior turned sideways, looked in the direction from which the voice came and said impatiently: "My companion is waiting for me to wake up, now is not the time to grind." ”

Through his own will, Joshua could see the outside world, a black dragon was galloping across the land, it leaped over hills and canyons, forests and ruins, countless rock giants and flying stone demons followed closely behind it, and on the dragon's back, the paladin frowned, using various methods to revive him, Ying and Rin also tried to communicate through their own contract with them, but to no avail.

His body had already healed itself under the effect of the Azure Orb, and the feedback from the Destruction Thunder Mountain was so huge that even a serious injury from dying was now completely fine, and the reason why he couldn't wake up was entirely because his soul was trapped in this illusion.

The direction of the ethereal voice came from, there was only a green light, different from Joshua's human form that was no different from reality, this green light flashed countless human faces, they were either majestic or loving, facing this light group, the warrior narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Moreover, if you hadn't suddenly transmitted the sound when I retreated, I might not have been injured." ”

"It was a sad accident, warrior, and I didn't know it was in a pinch...... Of course you'll wake up, but not now. ”

The voice didn't seem to hear the threat lurking in Joshua's voice, but said slowly, as before, "The place where your companion is going is extremely safe, there are no chaos monsters in that direction, and it is also the only place where the current situation can be restored...... As for now, warrior, don't you want to know what the world is all about? ”

“…… It seems that you have a good understanding of the current situation. ”

After a moment of silence, Joshua raised his eyebrows, and he smiled with interest: "Say it." ”

"I'm just confused about that."

The world of Irgena, above the Great Plains.

In order to avoid being attacked by the stone demons, Hei led everyone all the way quickly, but it seemed that because the other party could sense their presence, the half-dragon did not escape the pursuit of the rock giants, and more and more soldiers followed behind them, and there were even many other types of stone demons.

For example, the flying stone demons that are densely packed, as if they want to obscure the sky.

Black's speed was far faster than that of ordinary stone demons, let alone the slow-moving rock giants, but the speed of flying stone demons was extremely fast, and the half-dragon occasionally had to bypass some complex terrain, causing the distance to be repeatedly shortened.

"Black, can you go a little faster?"

On the dragon's back, Rin looked at the flying stone demons behind him like a dark cloud version, and hurriedly said to the half-dragon: "The stone demons are about to catch up!" ”

And the black screamed, and the golden core on its chest flashed - it didn't want to be faster, but if it was faster, it wouldn't be able to guarantee the stability of its back, and everyone might be thrown off.

At this point, there is no good way, as time goes by, the flying stone demons in the sky are about to catch up with the half-dragon who is running with all his might, and several huge figures burst out of the churning clouds, they resemble gargoyles, with bat-like wings, this kind of stone demons seem to be the evolution of ordinary flying stone demons, they scream and rush towards the half-dragon, spitting out a beam of light wrapped around the thunder in their mouths, bombarding everyone.

"Hide to the right!"

"Hurry up!"

Since Black couldn't see the direction of the beam behind him, Ying and Rin could only observe it while telling it the direction of dodging, and the tacit understanding between the two and the dragon was incomparable, and the cooperation was appropriate, so that most of the beams did not hit, but hit the ground, setting off bursts of shock waves and smoke.

But there was a beam of light that crossed the arc and shot at a strange angle, and when it realized that this beam was different from the others, neither Ying nor Rin had time to warn, it brought a buzzing roar, and it hit the flank of the half-dragon, and the lightning flickered, and suddenly the black let out a howl of pain.

The blow just now was like lightning, bringing incomparably burning and paralyzing stinging, even if the black carapace had extremely strong magic resistance, it also felt great pain, but in order not to affect the paladin and others on its back, it endured the pain and continued to run forward, but the speed slowed down a lot, and suddenly more flying stone demons pulled into the distance, and the situation was critical.

"There's no time, it can only depend on luck, I hope this guy can wake up soon!"

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Loranda, who was still trying to awaken Joshua, had to give up on reviving the warrior for a while, and he recited the Word and summoned his great shield and warhammer from the void.

[Soul Armament] is a magic technique that can turn a certain quality weapon or armor into a virtual body and store it in the magic space, allowing paladins to use weapons to fight no matter how bad the situation is.

"You protect Joshua, leave this place to me for the time being!"

Flying back on Black's back, Lolanda briefly explained his mission to Ying and Rin, and then he flew up again, fending off the stone demons' steady attacks.

In the face of these chaos monsters, the paladin showed amazing combat skills, he used holy light and fighting energy, as he flew, he blocked all attacks that hit Hei one by one, and occasionally a stone demon could get close to his side, and it would be shattered by the warhammer that bloomed with divine light.

If it weren't for the fact that Loranda wasn't wearing armor now, he wouldn't have dared to take on some powerful magical attacks, otherwise his performance would have been even more prominent.

But no matter how powerful the paladin is, he is only one person, and there are more and more flying stone demons approaching in the air, which gradually makes him fall into a bitter battle.

Moreover, as the magic in the atmosphere became more and more intense, these stone demons who originally only had the most basic abilities gradually had a variety of special powers, many of which could threaten the paladin's abilities, only to see an eagle-shaped stone demon flapping its wings, suddenly disappearing, and then appeared behind Lolanda, it pecked fiercely at the back of the paladin's heart, and the tip of the sharp stone mouth glowed with metalized light.

This blow continues, even steel will be torn, not to mention the human body, instinctively feel the crisis, Lolanda roared, and then through the explosion of fighting energy, forcibly displaced in mid-air for a distance, dodging this attack, and then, he angrily swung the giant hammer, blasting the stone demon with teleportation ability into two.

Although the crisis was temporarily freed, the situation turned downward, and the rock giants in the distance had disappeared, and the speed of the blackened was thrown out of the horizon, but in mid-air, the clouds kept stirring, as if some behemoth was about to descend behind them.

Blocking several thunder beams, Lolanda couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Then, in his shocked eyes, the clouds were torn apart.

A gigantic stone demon that looked like a giant whale in flight revealed its form.

Unlike the creature-like stone goblins around it, this giant flying stone goblin was more like some kind of flying fortress, it had no wings, only a hexagonal geometric body, and the bottom of the body flashed with faint blue magic runes, as if that was the power for it to float in the sky.

Lorenda forgot to defend himself, and it wasn't until a bolt of lightning shot straight at his head that he suddenly lifted his shield and hastily blocked the blow.

Ying was stunned in place, the silver-haired girl opened her mouth slightly and let out an exclamation, while Rin shuddered, he frowned and smiled bitterly: "What kind of monster is this?" ”

He had traveled with Joshua to a famine world full of Aragami with countless huge monsters, and he had even fought with the warriors against the Extreme Aragami comparable to the mountain peak, so he was resistant to this scene.

But even that doesn't change anything.

In the huge air fortress, there was a murmur, which was the same as the silver humanoid before, which was extremely harsh, but it could make people understand the contents.

"Coordinate terminal No. 4 to carry out the clearance mission, the target, five, the number of attacks required to destroy is unpredictable."

The voice was dull and cold, as if it were just a predetermined voice from the machine: "Start attacking—"

As soon as he spoke, an intricate circle began to emerge at the bottom of the fortress, moving like gears, and then a steady stream of magic fell from the sky and roared towards the half-dragon and the people on its back.

Fireballs, frost, lightning and explosions, invisible impacts and blinding white beams, all kinds of attacks slanted down like rain, Lolanda burst out with all his strength, holy light mixed with fighting energy, condensed on the big shield in his hand, he even withdrew the cross hammer, and concentrated on using the giant shield to resist all kinds of spell attacks.

But he was able to resist a hundred spells, and the Air Fortress was able to tilt out two hundred, and under the almost endless spell attacks, the paladin finally reached his limit, and was blasted into the earth by a blast of flames.

In the face of this number of spell attacks, Black's huge body is really an excellent target, even if the half-dragon dodges, there will always be a few spells that will hit, although the carapace derived from the ancient dragon's bloodline has excellent magic resistance, but by the continuous attacks, it still makes Black's body scarred.

Ying and Rin used their bodies to protect Joshua, as a divine machine, although they had a certain amount of strength, it was impossible for them to resist this level of spells, and they had nothing to do but do so.

- Is this the end?

- Could it really be that all of them will be wiped out here, as the Flying Fortress said?

"Alright, go farther."

A voice came from beneath the gods.

Ying and Rin looked up in surprise, they looked at the warrior below them, and then showed a happy smile, hurriedly stepped out of the way, and stood aside.

Joshua, whose face was a little pale, sat up slowly, he stood up, looked at the huge air fortress in the sky that was preparing to launch a terrifying pillar of light, and took a deep breath.

His voice was vague, but firm.

"Let me come."
