The summer winds of the far seas are always accompanied by torrential rain, and this is especially true of the Abyss of Anos. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoAlthough the downpour has gradually stopped, and even the undulating waves have become docile, there is still a lingering drizzle, with the slightly icy sea breeze rolling back over the waves.

Perhaps it was the aftermath of Joshua's and the church's all-out efforts, or perhaps the effect of the strange ritual in the maelstrom, when the third chaos rune appeared in the sky, the heavy rain clouds in the sky cracked a little, and the silver light of the twin moons slanted out like water, falling into the sea like a ladder.

The eerie calm and sudden calming of the waves, as well as the warm moonlight, are incompatible with this irritable sea, making people wonder and feel uneasy.

But the black dragon girl likes it very much.

The white ark sailed rapidly on the slightly calm sea, and with the help of the warrior's black and red fighting spirit, the speed of the Time was faster than one section after another, even surpassing the swordfish in the sea, which was known for its speed.

Hei stood at the bow of the ship, just behind Joshua, hugging her master's waist, her head slightly sideways with the warrior looking at the dark sea-sky line, and the rumbling of a large maelstrom in the distance could faintly be heard in her ears.

The swift sea breeze swept past the girl, and the scattered hair rolled upside down to her black face, causing her nose to itch a little, and at this moment, Joshua reached out and helped the girl to arrange the hair from her forehead behind her ears, and at the same time, a soft command came.

"Black, stay away from your head, your horns have stabbed me."

After hearing this, the black dragon girl obediently shrank her head and moved the hard dragon horns on the side of her head a little farther away, so as not to hinder the warrior's control of the fighting spirit.

But even so, she didn't let go of her hand.

Because of the host's body, it was warm.

Unlike the scorching heat of the lava, and the licking and licking of the flames, it was a strange feeling, and the holy light of Mr. Loranda, Mr. Robzek, and Miss Saya was also warm, but it was not the same temperature as the master.

It was a strange sense of security that she couldn't help but get close to.

- Black was once a war horse.

An ordinary dragon-blooded war horse.

There are many such war horses, in the western plains and the battlefield of the orcs, this kind of war horse with a little dragon beast blood is the standard configuration of the knights of the vanguard legion, they have the physical strength of the dragon beast, and the loyalty of the horse, it is the most cost-effective mount in the imperial army.

However, because they are war horses, they will follow their masters into battle with their masters, facing the rampaging orc armies and the stone rhino heavy riders that can crush everything, just like people, they can die at any time, they can also be crippled and lame in battle, because they are mounts, their lives are insignificant, and not many people will really care.

Black is lucky, it has participated in several great wars and returned intact, it is also unlucky, because the war is endless, the end of the first war there is another war, this time intact, the next time it will be chopped to pieces as well.

The black of the War Horse period didn't think about anything, it didn't have the wisdom, and it didn't understand the situation of the war, it could only understand this one thing - its own life is like a candle, like a summer flower, it can be extinguished at any time, it can wither at any time.

――Until that day.

A tall, black-haired warrior hurried to the stable, glanced at all the eating horses in the stable, and then took a step of course.

The fate of the war horse was thus changed.

This warrior was not a good knight.

On the way to the Northland, although he took care of the physical strength of the war horse, he was not proficient in riding, and sometimes the power of the imperial reins was too great, and even blood marks appeared on the neck of the war horse...... Of course, this is actually nothing, this kind of thing often happens on the battlefield, and the warrior is at least in a hurry, not to fight to the death with anyone, although the war horse is tired, but it is still quite adequate.

As time passed, the warrior's riding skills progressed rapidly, and he reached his destination, a large city covered in frost and snow.

"Alright, horse, you're free."

In the midst of the snow, the warrior untied the reins and removed the saddle and other restraints from the horse, touched the mane behind the horse's neck, and whispered to it: "You have the blood of a dragon, and you can live well in this wilderness, and no one can restrain you from now on." ”

Watching the warrior turn around decisively and walk firmly towards the black city step by step, the war horse's heart couldn't help but feel puzzled, as a war mount, it never understood what freedom was, and it was not bound by humans, but it made the war horse feel uneasy.

Just as the water flows to the lower places, the clouds will also rise into the sky, how should a war horse live without an owner?

Unbeknownst to it, the warhorse had tried to wander outside the city for days, but still did not know what it was going to do, and after a short thought, it simply followed the breath of a warrior to the mansion where he lived.

Kuro still remembered a gentle smile on the warrior's slightly stunned face when he saw it again.

"Well, in that case, from now on, you will be my mount."

It didn't understand what he was saying.

Because the war horse is the mount of the warrior, it has always been, and it has never changed.

Therefore, it is willing to accompany this man to charge towards the enemy, willing to accompany this warrior against the Kuroshio, no matter how dangerous it is, it cannot make the war horse feel afraid, because it knows that no hardship and danger can stop this black-haired warrior on its back, as if he was born to overcome everything.

Then came victory, one victory after another, and the warrior's strength increased so quickly that the horses were far from being able to keep up with his progress.

Perhaps, this is the moment to leave, and it has a vague premonition in its heart that the mount cannot keep up with the master's strength, and it will be abandoned.

However, this black-haired man was extremely generous, for his ordinary dragon-blooded war horse, he was willing to spend an astonishing amount of money to buy the blood of the ancient dragon, to buy the cherished awakening potion, and not to take the trouble to prepare all the materials that could improve its strength.

He personally gave the war horse the strength, the half-dragon wisdom, the dignity of the black dragon girl, the present and the future, and the hope in the true sense of the black.

The warrior's side, surrounded by the black air current, which was countless soul fragments that howled miserably and hated, and the resentment of countless monsters converged in the fluctuation of killing intent, and then constituted his power, including the wail of the dragon, which Hei felt sincerely afraid of, but could not stop her instinct to get close to Joshua.

Because that warm feeling does not become cold due to these superficial factors, the seemingly cold warrior's heart is so hot, as if burning.

Perhaps, this feeling is the so-called loyalty.

- The runes in the sky slowly appeared again.

With the appearance of the fourth twisted rune, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, and a trace of abyssal power began to turn into a thin layer of black mist, sticking to the holy light shield of the ark, and a tooth-aching corrosion sound sounded, and the originally strong shield began to be eroded and distorted.

But a circle of white light floated up, blocking out all the abyssal mist.

"The light of the sun is here."

Saya stood in the middle of the deck of the Hour with a scepter artifact in hand, the Grand Nun standing in place, whispering a pious prayer from her mouth, and a circle of healing light turned into a powerful blessing that enveloped all the crew members of the ark and the ark itself.

The last time they approached the Maelstrom, they encountered a similar situation, and Saya was very familiar with the erosion of the power of the abyss, and the Church of the Seven Gods had already prepared.

It's also interesting to say, the three members of the church present awakened different Holy Light, Saya awakened naturally the Holy Light of Healing, Robzek is the most lethal Heavenly Blazing Holy Light, and Lolanda is the same as the previous popes, awakened is the Holy Light of Judgment.

As far as Joshua knew, three different powers of holy light could be fused, temporarily simulating the power of a god, which was circulating within the upper echelons of the church, the secret transmission of the secret tradition, the highest level of secret method, it seemed that the three of them knew this secret method, otherwise they would not have been specially sent together to complete the task.

As for whether this secret method was called Ya Xina's amazement or something else, the warrior didn't know.

"Those monsters can't catch up."

At this time, Robzek was paying attention to the three near-extreme Chaos monsters that were close to the extreme level in the back of the ark with Loranda, Hill and Fina, and he couldn't help but show a relieved smile: "Last time, when the ark was defenseless, he pounced on it from the side to besiege, and this time he wanted to repeat the old trick?" Hehe. ”

The blonde paladin's face was indifferent: "After all, monsters don't have intelligence, and they may not have memories, who knows." ”

Lady Sea Dragon also recalled the thrilling battle last time, looking at the chaos monster that was being pulled farther and farther away, she sneered: "What's the use of a hard shell? It's so slow, it deserves to be dusted! ”

The last time she fought with these Aragami, Fina rushed forward to fight because she didn't know the strength of their bodies, and was almost cut off by a huge crystal carapace monster like a lobster with giant pincers.

But Hill silently calculated the speed of the ark in his heart, and after half a sound, he frowned and said, "Our speed is too fast, and if we go on like this, we will be able to get close to the central maelstrom in less than an hour...... Just get in like that? Is this speed okay? ”

No one answered the elven boy's question, which may be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, and Hill couldn't help but shrug his shoulders when he saw this: "Okay, you believe in the strength of the Time, but I want to say that the vortex of this level is very powerful, and the ark may not be able to withstand the ......"

At the bow of the ship, no one bothered Joshua and Hei, and the warrior controlled his fighting spirit, allowing the ark to continue to rush towards the maelstrom.

As the Time approached the maelstrom, it could feel the aura of the abyss becoming more and more intense, and under the effect of strange forces, the clouds in the sky closed the gaps, the silver moonlight was no longer falling, and the drizzle gradually turned into a downpour.

The heavens and the earth are vast, but the distorted chaos runes on the clouds are extremely eye-catching, and now the number of runes has increased to six, looking at this number and shape, the unknown ritual may have been completed by more than a quarter, which suddenly made everyone's mood break away from the ease of killing a large group of sea beasts and getting rid of the three powerful monsters, and become more and more serious.

"What kind of ritual is that?"

Lolanda stared at the chaotic runes closely, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart: "I feel that the surrounding environment is becoming more and more unfamiliar, and the Abyss of Anos has begun to change. ”

"The surrounding waters have been corrupted, and the Holy Light Runes at the bottom of the Time are being eroded by the power of the Abyss." Robzek received the message from the captain, and he also said with a serious face: "Although the ark has been prepared accordingly for a long time, the erosion rate this time is several times faster than the last time, and the energy in the Fusion Core Star is already in short supply. ”

Fina's words were very simple: "In that case, then I'll do it again." ”

Before she could finish speaking, the dragon girl simply leaned down and pressed one hand on the deck of the ark.

A cyan thunderbolt power mixed with a large amount of magic power, forming a strange magnetic force, it repelled the magnetic field from the depths of the sea, reducing the weight of the Time Ship a lot, Joshua turned his head to look at Fina with interest, and then controlled the distribution of his fighting energy, not to interfere with the dragon girl's power.

This ability is a further application of thunder and lightning magic, he originally thought that Fina was just an ordinary thunder sea dragon, but he didn't expect that the strength actually had this level, it was really surprising.

The speed of the ark was even faster, and now, it was almost flying on the surface of the sea, and the bottom of the ship was not disconnected from the sea at all, and two different forces repelled the water at the same time, dragging it forward at a rapid speed.

The wind and rain were left behind by the giant ship, and the surrounding scenery turned into floating shadows and disappeared one after another, and a storm against the current appeared on the surface of the Abyss of Anos, and the center of this storm was the Time.

Ignoring the raging waves, ignoring the downpour, ignoring the sweeping winds and raging currents, all obstacles were illusory in front of the ark, and the white giant ship headed straight towards the maelstrom.

In the captain's room, the red-haired old man staring at the instrument on the ark was so shocked that the agate pipe in his hand fell to the ground, and the speed displayed on the dense magic instrument made him rub his eyes three times and couldn't believe it, and he muttered more than once, expressing his surprise.

"Is this really a giant ship moving on the sea? I'm flying in the sky on a dragon, right?! ”

Either way, that's the way it is.

Half an hour flew by, and everyone could clearly hear the rumbling sound of the central maelstrom not far away.

And at the bow of the ship, Joshua, who looked down condescendingly into the distance, could already see the scenery not far away.

Above the heavenly dome, countless dark clouds converged into a cluster, purple thunder crisscrossed it, releasing an irritating strange electric light, and eight twisted chaos runes hung on it, already forming a quarter of a large array.

And a pitch-black, huge whirlpool emitted a rolling roar far beyond thunder, it was almost endless at a glance, roughly estimated to be as huge as a dozen kilometers in diameter, and the waves formed by the terrifying vortex swept on the inside of the whirlpool like a funnel, as if it could shatter all foreign matter.

This kind of scenery is shocking just by looking at it, even if everyone present has already seen this scene, the movement of their hands can't help but pause, the huge Ark of Time is as insignificant as dust next to this whirlpool, and it may be swallowed up by it at any time.

Boom Boom Boom ――――――

The center of the abyssal aura, which was so dark that it could not be illuminated by lightning, seemed to be an entrance to the other world, and countless seawater poured out from there.

"What should I do?"

Someone asked, his voice a little hesitant, as if he wasn't ready.

"Rush over."

The warrior simply replied: "We rushed into the center of the vortex in a straight line." ”

Meanwhile.

In the cabin, there was a gray-haired girl who was secretly looking at the people on the deck.

Her gaze was fixed on the warrior standing at the front, and there was an inexplicable turn of emotion in her eyes, and after a moment, her eyes returned to firmness.
