Soul of Burning Steel

"You have foreseen it?"

Hill turned his head abruptly. He recalled the soldier's behavior of staring at the sea before, so he asked Joshua in a low voice: "You have been observing just now, but why didn't you say anything?"

"Foreseeing that there will be an attack does not mean that I can foresee what kind of attack it will be." Joshua turned his head and explained to the elf boy and the two-headed dragon: "There is a strange ocean current and black mist. danger, and it is impossible to know what consequences it will have."

The words of the soldiers were not wrong, this kind of attack was indeed unpredictable.

On the side of the ark, there was a shimmer of magical power in the dark waves. Although the powerless white ark was not overturned by the reverse tide under the protection of the holy light rune, it could only stay helplessly in place, enduring The torrential rain and the invasion of the waves made it impossible to move on.

"Go back to the inside of the ark first." In the end, Joshua made the decision. He entered the cabin with Hei, and Hill, after frowning and staring at the weird black water for a while, also entered the cabin with Fina.

In the cabin, Robzek, Saya, Lolanda and others are discussing.

"The magic energy furnace core in the power room is still running." The silver-haired paladin was not panicked by the current unexpected situation. He pointed to the light curtain suspended in mid-air, and calmly summarized the current situation: "But these magic powers cannot be transmitted. into each engine."

Inside the light curtain is a structural diagram of a huge ship, on which every detail of the Ark is displayed. At this time, except for the power room and a few cabins which are still green in 'good condition', most of the hull has turned into 'Not working' red.

"The black dust in the seawater is a strange substance... I've never seen this kind of thing on the Mycroft Continent, but it looks a bit like crystal?"

Saya held a test tube filled with turbid seawater in her hand. The seawater was full of black dust like sand. These dusts moved up and down spontaneously without any external power, as if they had life.

The big nun looked at the test tube in her hand and seemed to be thinking: "I have visited the magic crystal mines near the volcanic islands, and the magic crystal dust inside is somewhat similar to it."

But the magic power crystal carries magic power, but this kind of crystal absorbs magic power. There is a huge difference between the two.

On the other hand, Lolanda didn't speak. He just frowned and stared at the test tube in Saya's hand. Regarding the current situation, the blond paladin had a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't find the source.

The ark loses its magic power, and the crystal dust... In other words, it is a crystal with a very high ability to absorb magic power.

With a bit of guesswork, Lolanda took the test tube from Saya, and then tried to inject some vindictiveness.

The churning black dust, like a shark that smelled blood, immediately absorbed the vindictiveness injected by the paladin. At this point, Lolanda can roughly confirm that these crystal dusts are related to the wild god's shell recorded in the records of the Radcliffe family. With a high degree of similarity, it has a very high immunity to magic power and fighting spirit.

Looking hesitantly at Robzek and Saya, the blond paladin hesitated, whether to tell the two of his guesses - he himself felt a little absurd, obviously the goal of this trip was the abyss crack, but famines occurred one after another It is simply inexplicable that the evil god's family members obstructed it.

The big nun and the knight leader were still discussing, but they didn't care what the dust was. The focus of their discussion was how to complete the next action.

"The Ark is less than a day away from the central whirlpool."

Robzek pointed to the light curtain, and the sea chart of the Abyss of Anos appeared on the light curtain. On the dark sea chart, there were two light spots, one red and one white, flickering: "The red light spot is the central vortex, because a distant sea The ocean current in the south is impacting, and it is constantly moving towards the northwest of the capital, which is where we are. The white light spot is us. Originally, at the relative speed of the two, we will arrive at eleven o'clock this evening. It's fringe, but it's hard to tell now."

He calculated in his mind for a while, and then continued: "If the displacement speed of the great vortex remains unchanged, we will not be able to touch its edge until four o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow... But the possibility is very small, and the impact of the ocean current cannot remain unchanged. "

"Let's switch to the backup energy source and sail with the energy of the fusion star?" Saya thought for a while, and made this suggestion: "These black dust is afraid of the power of the holy light, and it cannot penetrate the energy of the fusion star to form The positive energy barrier, even though Shi Shi stopped in place, it is proof that it was not pushed by the wave."

After hearing this suggestion, the silver-haired paladin nodded after thinking for a while: "You can try...but without the energy of the Fusion Star, who will support the defensive barrier? It consumes a lot of energy. The real body doesn't know, and the power to weaken one's own combat power rashly can easily fall into the opponent's trap."

"No matter who the enemy is, if we stop here, there will definitely be some action."

And at this moment, a voice came from outside the door of the cabin. Joshua opened the door. Behind him, Hei, Hill and Fina also entered in sequence. Although the soldier's voice was not loud, it could reach everyone's ears. : "Since we are less than a day's journey away from the central vortex, the enemy must be trying to kill us on the spot and prevent us from approaching the abyss rift by depriving us of motivation at this time."

"Joshua." After seeing the soldier, Robzek nodded slightly, and he asked, "What do you think of the current situation?"

As the only extremely strong man on this ark, Joshua's suggestion was very important, and he was not polite when asked by the paladin, but directly expressed his guess.

Just as Lolanda guessed on the same side, the warrior pointed out the real body of the black dust—the crystal fragments from the evil god of famine. The reason why it can quickly dissolve the magic power of the ark is precisely because of the barren power represented by "famine". Now the entire sea area has fallen into a situation similar to the Forbidden Zone, and any magic power will be quickly absorbed as soon as it appears.

This situation is exactly the same as the barren phenomenon in the Karlis world, and it is also very similar to the doomsday formed after the appearance of the evil god of natural disasters in the world of Ilgna that Lolanda has been to.

"Our enemy should be the abyssal demon, or the eroding sea beast like the abyssal dragon...how could it have anything to do with the evil god of famine?"

After listening, Robzek frowned, thinking of those weird and powerful crystal monsters he encountered during the last exploration: "Well, if it is as you said, the enemy is the family of the evil god, then what do we have?" How to deal with it?"

He asked the soldiers sincerely.

But Joshua curled his lips slightly: "Wait."

Noticing the puzzled eyes of everyone present, the soldier had no choice but to explain again: "This is the Mycroft Continent after all, the enemy cannot maintain this alien phenomenon forever, and the battle begins when the opponent cannot maintain this state." time."

After speaking, he casually took a cup of tea from the table and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking it, Joshua asked with some doubts: "This taste...why is it different from the previous one?"

"This is the tea Nuonuo prepared for us. It is said that it is a specialty of her hometown... But, is it that simple?"

Saya looked a little unbelievable, she murmured in surprise: "Just wait?"

"No, it's not simple at all." At this time, it was Fina who was standing by the side who spoke. Hai Long, a beautiful lady with long blue hair in human form, shook her head and said with some seriousness: "This is not the same as some sea beasts that prey on you." The method is very similar - first use traps or other means to prevent the prey from escaping and moving, and then slowly wear down the strength of the opponent, until finally it appears and kills the prey."

"Next, the opponent will definitely use various means to wear down Ark—that is, the strength of our group. After a certain level, the enemy behind the scenes will show up and give us the final blow."

Although it was just a guess, what Fina said was in line with everyone's perception, and Joshua also nodded silently. This was exactly what he wanted to say.

His eyes were fixed on the light curtain, but Robzek's thoughts were not concentrated on it. He was recalling the previous experience when the ark was close to the central maelstrom.

It was the first time to explore the Abyss of Anos. Due to the impact of a large number of sea beasts, the ark deviated from the course, and finally returned due to insufficient supplies.

In the second exploration, the cabin leaked due to an accidental landing on the rocks, so he had to return.

During the third exploration, they were attacked by a large number of berserk flying dragons. They fought for three consecutive days, and the weather was too bad. Seventy percent of the crew members suffered from extreme fatigue and physical discomfort, so they had no choice but to return.

The fourth exploration was the closest to success. Because the previous explorations had killed a large number of sea beasts, and the mad dragons had all gone to block the sky above the holy mountain, so the journey went very smoothly, but it was about to approach Arno In the great vortex at the center of the Abyss of Sith, they were attacked by three strange monsters whose strength was close to the extreme. Due to the accident, there was no defense, and the ark was almost sunk. Robzek and others fought against those monsters to protect the ark. In the end, he barely escaped by relying on the self-destructing wheel of holy light.

The fifth time, that is, this time, the exploration was very smooth along the way. With the participation of Earl Radcliffe, the Sea Abyss Dragon, which was originally considered a big trouble, was killed in less than half an hour. Even if they met those three weird monsters again, everyone would still be able to fight, but this situation is beyond everyone's expectation.

"Is it going to fail again?"

Robzek murmured unwillingly, the time for the decisive battle between the Church of the Seven Gods and the Five-Colored Dragon Clan is coming soon, and by that time, if the mission of Time has not been completed, their actions will be embarrassing. Pope Seoul supports them to continue their exploration, and the church has no extra resources to supply.

What's more, the silver-haired paladin is not the kind of person who can explore the Abyss of Anos with peace of mind when the church is in trouble. Even if he will be reprimanded by the Pope, he will return to the holy mountain and fight against the mad dragon with his comrades .

The fifth exploration was the last for him. Even if the church repelled the five-color dragons, the holy mountain would inevitably need long-term repairs and reconstruction after the war. At that time, the exploration of the Abyss of Anos would undoubtedly Shelved indefinitely, there will be no possibility of restarting until at least ten years later.

Suddenly, outside the cabin, there was an uneasy exclamation from the crew members not far away. The sound did not decrease because of the passage of time, but became louder and more tense.

"There is a situation." Hill frowned, and he immediately opened the door closest to the door, and walked towards the ark that the voice came from: "I'll go and have a look."

Fina closely followed the elf boy, and Joshua also walked out of the gate with a look of anticipation on his face. Behind him, three members of the church looked at each other, arranged their equipment, and walked out together.

Outside the cabin, on the deck of Time.

Many crew members who were trying to 'repair' the non-functioning magic facilities were screaming and running back to the cabin. Those who didn't understand magic didn't know that those magic facilities stopped working just because the energy was sucked dry, and they thought it was some There was damage to the structure. As they were strictly selected, they were undoubtedly full of courage when they finally came to the Time. Otherwise, they would not have braved the huge waves and heavy rain to go outside the cabin to try to repair it. But now, they are obviously was terrified.

Everyone passed through the panicked crew members and came to the deck. They quickly understood why those crew members were so terrified.

Amidst the rainy sky, the strong wind brought huge waves and slapped the holy light runes on the giant ship back and forth. The dark mist enveloped the entire giant ship, imprisoning the immobile temple ark like a cage.

And in the black mist, there was a strange cry, and countless gray shadows galloped from the mist. With the whistling through the air, the gray shadows revealed their real bodies, which were extremely thick and full of sharp teeth Tentacles, they broke through the fog, and slapped the ark fiercely - and as the magical magic circle on the top of the ark operated, pieces of barriers composed of white hexagons accurately blocked each tentacles, sending out dull collisions Voice.

After these tentacles collided with the barrier, they immediately collapsed and turned into black dust all over the sky, melting into the mist, and the white barrier immediately dimmed a lot, as if a lot of energy had been taken away.

"What the hell are these?"

Robzek passed the crowd, he frowned, stretched out his hand, and a silver holy light shot out from his fingertips, cutting off a tentacle—but immediately after the tentacle was cut off, it collapsed into dust all over the sky , there is no doubt that these tentacles are composed of crystal dust that can absorb magic power.

Joshua didn't recognize these things either. Although they were undoubtedly a type of Rage God, he wasn't an encyclopedia. How could he know such an enemy he had never seen before?

However, fighters have systems.
