Soul of Burning Steel

Overcast skies, humid air.

Thomas Grand Canyon, on the battlefield full of corpses, the battle has come to an end temporarily, and a small group of orcs is retreating towards the top of the valley in a hurry.

The vulgar curses invaded the valley with chaotic footsteps, and their voices were extremely chaotic, which alarmed the wandering scavenging birds.

Crows, vultures and corpse gulls, reluctant to part with the pile of corpses full of limbs and internal organs, and afraid of being hit by arrows, hovered around the pile of corpses and kept calling, as if they were awakened by the hoarse voice. What is there in the pile of corpses? Something moved and made a slight noise.

Not far away, the team of three orcs suddenly stopped.

"sound!"

A green-skinned orc with a strong physique and broken leather armor shook its fangs, squinted its eyes, and glanced around with cold eyes: "It's a human being, I'll kill him."

After speaking, it walked towards the pile of corpses.

"Hurry up." The other orcs urged.

In the dark, relying on his keen sense of smell, after searching for a while, this strong orc quickly found a human being covered in the stump.

This seriously injured warrior is still in a coma, surrounded by orc corpses, his body armor is damaged, the edge of the big sword in his hand is curled, and the blade even has cracks. He seems to be in a very bad state, weak as if Die any moment.

boom! Thunder tore the sky.

"die!"

Following the thunder, the orc raised the big ax in his hand, and then slashed at the head of the human in front of him.

Snapped! Lightning shone through the dark night sky. Under the strong light, the orc seemed to see a cold gaze looking at him.

In an instant, the unconscious warrior opened his eyes, stretched out his left hand, and hit the nerve on the back of his hand. The sudden numbness made the orc uncontrollably let go of the hatchet in his hand, and the warrior then took the opportunity to grab his wrist and destroy it. Its center of gravity easily knocked it down beside it.

"Huh?!" Everything happened so fast, the burly orc hadn't reacted yet, but instinctively let out a breath, and at this moment, the left hand like a steel tong had already climbed onto its neck.

"Gaba."

The left hand tightened slowly, and the powerful force was crushing the orc's throat and spine bit by bit. It struggled hard, but it was useless. With the increasing force, its pupils began to scatter. In the gradually blurred gaze, the seriously injured soldier slowly sat up, his eyes were as cold as steel.

After a while, it stopped struggling, its breath completely disappeared, and it remained motionless.

Letting go, the corpse fell to the ground. The soldier named Joshua was silent for a while, turning his dry eyeballs and looking around.

In the canyon battlefield covered with stumps, a strong smell of blood poured into the nostrils, the cold and damp armor clinged to the body, and the right hand and the weapon were condensed together by blood scabs, which could not be loosened.

"Cloudy sky, orcs, battlefield..."

He said slowly, as if each word was extremely heavy: "Thomas Grand Canyon?!"

"It's impossible - I should be in the Naya Fortress of the Ruins of Ashes dungeon, fighting a tough battle with my comrades and the devil cubs!"

Meteor showers and scorching air all over the sky flashed in my mind. On the ground, lava flowed like rivers. Now, the sky is cloudy and the air is extremely humid. It is completely two worlds.

Feeling a tightness in his chest, Joshua took a breath. At this time, scattered raindrops fell with the wind, and it turned into a violent storm in a short time.

A burst of soreness came from all over his body, and he realized that many parts of his body were unable to move freely due to severe injuries, and he was in urgent need of training. However, as a legendary warrior who has experienced many battles, Joshua had already Having experienced countless near-desperate battles, it is commonplace to struggle and survive bloody battles, and this kind of injury is nothing to him.

"Tsk, it's very weird... Starfall 853, at the end of the third edition of Continent of Disputes, the Thomas Grand Canyon was razed to the ground by the legendary battle, and I even participated in it personally."

Looking around again, Joshua muttered to himself. He wiped away the bloody rain in front of his eyes, but still couldn't believe it: "Why am I here?"

Overcast clouds billowed above the canyon, and thunder flashed faintly within it. The sound of horns in the distance spread to all parts of the battlefield along with the wind. The rain washed away the blood scabs, and the red blood gathered into streams and flowed on the ground.

"wrong."

Under the washing of the cold rain, his thinking gradually became clear: "I should be dead."

A memory emerges—it was a loathsome cloudy day.

Naya Fortress, Maria's Wall, lava covered the earth, demons flooded in, the sky full of meteors and fire rain was covered by winged demons, the huge floating battleship belonging to demons shrouded the entire fortress in the shadow, and the boulders were covered by fire. The oil was ignited, and it fell into the fortress like raindrops. The smoke from the burning fire shot straight into the sky. Amid the huge roar and fluctuations caused by the attacks of the legendary powerhouses, the war intensified, and the two sides fought fiercely.

But when everyone was fighting bloody battles, a sword pierced Joshua's back, and the most venomous runes and curses emerged, and his memory was completely blurred after that.

"Who the hell attacked me?!"

Recalling this point, Joshua suddenly felt that his violent temper could not be restrained: "I haven't died since I entered the legend. I thought that the death of a virgin would be in the hands of the demon lord, but I never expected it to be It was done by my own people!"

But he quickly frowned again... No matter who the betrayer is, even if he didn't die, he should be comatose on the wall of Naya Fortress. How could he run into this pile of corpses?

Joshua suddenly had an ominous premonition. As a legendary warrior, his body heals itself far faster than ordinary people, but now the torn muscles have not healed, and the pain is getting more intense. The stupid official has adjusted the pain synchronization rate up? And if he didn't die, where did the wound on his back go?

The wound caused by the curse, without the action of the great priest, even he would not be able to heal.

What the hell is it? It's not Xbi Tudou, so there are so many bugs.

"Anyway, let me get up first!"

Struggling to get up, Joshua gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain of muscle tearing. Cold sweat flowed from his forehead, washing away the uncoagulated blood. It can be vaguely seen that there is a penetrating wound in his abdomen.

The intense pain spread along with the nerves, if Joshua was not an ordinary person in reality, he would have been unable to move in pain.

After standing up, he took a few breaths, Joshua didn't stop, and immediately walked towards the nearby pile of corpses. The great sword in his hand was already broken. Years of battlefield experience allowed him to quickly find a new weapon to deal with any eventuality.

Searching among the remains, after a while, Joshua found a spear that was still in good condition. The head of the spear was severely worn, but it was not a major problem. After shaking in the rain, he felt that it was still in good shape.

Suddenly, the silence was interrupted.

"He killed Tougu!" Accompanied by this roar, two huge orc figures stepped out from the darkness not far away.

The two-meter-tall orcs spoke the orc language, and their damaged leather armor was stretched to the point of tearing apart by their muscles. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they looked extremely angry.

After confirming that there was only one enemy, the reckless orcs didn't think at all, so they raised their weapons and charged forward without saying a word.

"Aw!!!!" The one rushing to the front was an orc holding a long knife. His green skin was now a little black, and he seemed to have entered a state of rage. Weak humans are completely defeated.

However, a gun light flashed like a flying star.

The rusty spear pierced through the orc's tough skin and muscles in the dark, and went straight into the heart. Joshua stirred it casually, and then quickly pulled it out. Immediately, strong blood mixed with internal organs spurted out from the huge wound. Green blood mixed with the rain splashed onto his face.

"It's really an orc?" said with some surprise, Joshua turned his head to look at the remaining orc who had stopped charging and looked at him with horrified eyes, he was a little puzzled and said, "How is this possible?"

The orc saw his companion die so easily, and the fear in his heart immediately overwhelmed the instinctive anger. It wanted to turn around and run away, but it was too late.

Joshua casually pulled out the spear from the heart of the dead orc, held it in his hand, aimed it slightly, and then threw it violently.

The black spear pierced the wind, shook the rain, and let out a sharp whistling. It hit the back of the orc and nailed him in place.

It fell down with unwilling eyes, warm blood spewed out from the fatal wound, and the power of life disappeared continuously, leaving its will in darkness.

"I clearly remember that the system has announced that the orcs are completely extinct... eh!"

Walking over and pulling out the spear, Joshua suddenly felt a sharp pain erupt in his waist, and the pierced wound was now bleeding: "It's really too much to continue exercising like this after the muscles are torn."

This body was seriously injured, not only the muscles were damaged, but also the internal organs were shaken. After the battle just now, even the secretion of adrenal hormones could not continue to paralyze. Now, all the wounds on his body are screaming, Blame the master for his recklessness.

The pain was so intense that Joshua couldn't help leaning on the spear, half kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Huh... what's going on, as a legendary warrior, even if I am seriously injured, it shouldn't take so much effort to kill three orcs."

He held the spear in his right hand, and stretched out his left hand to touch the soil. The cold and slippery feeling rolled in Joshua's palm.

"This kind of touch, the bloody smell in the nasal cavity and the tearing pain inside the body, even the highest-level virtual game cabin, it is absolutely impossible for the official to simulate..."

Doubts surged in his heart, and the ominous premonition further increased: "Thomas Grand Canyon has long been flattened, but now it has reappeared again. I used to fight against the devil in Naya Fortress, but now I wake up here..."

"What exactly is going on?!"

Boom! Thunder thundered, and lightning pierced the night sky. With this light, Joshua, who was panting, saw his own shadow reflected in the fragments of the blade.

It was a strange yet familiar face with black hair.

"Who is this... this is me?!"

The moment he saw the reflection, Joshua suddenly felt like a file was being scraped back and forth in his head. The severe pain made him unable to bear the pressure on his head with both hands, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Then, when Joshua was enduring the sudden pain, he recalled all the memories belonging to 'him'.
