Soul of Burning Steel

"I'll be right there."

Closing the small crystal ball-like communication circle in his hand, Joshua raised his head and took a deep breath, with no expression on his tough face.

He looked around at the snow-covered hillside with only a few pale rocks exposed, and then turned sideways to the silver-haired girl who was hugging his waist behind him and said, "Firefly, I have a task for you."

"Yes Master."

Without hesitation, Ying immediately nodded and agreed, but doubts appeared in her green eyes: "But, what task?"

"You should know the way."

After getting off his horse, Joshua walked into the wide snow field. The wind from the north whistled past his ears with a chill, and the bone-chilling chill permeated his body, but he was driven away by the gradually burning red light: "With the black Use the fastest speed to go to the Black Forest Fortress, the distance is not far, about an hour."

"Then... master you?"

Taking the reins of the black war horse under him, the silver-haired magic machine seemed to have not figured out why, and asked blankly: "What are you going to do?"

"I?"

This question is really out of level.

He took out the model of the sword and armor from his waist, and read out the secret words. The black-haired and red-eyed warrior was immediately covered in a burst of light. In an instant, the magic light dissipated, and he was wrapped in heavy armor. The man with the giant sword stood up. On the white snow, he raised his left hand, which was covered by iron armor. His five fingers, which were as heavy and powerful as iron tongs, spread out, then clenched them tightly, making a creaking sound of metal friction.

Black and full of ribs, the quaint Maximilian-style armor looks simple and unpretentious, but it is full of majesty. The faint lines form two dead crows with spread wings in relief on the tip of the shoulders. The cold and heavy helmet On the top, there are two red light spots flashing in a V-shaped gap.

Although the sound was obscured by the helmet, Joshua's voice still reached the ear of the magical girl.

"Of course it's cleaning up the trash."

"boom--!"

The red dou qi gushed out from the depths of his body, and the snow was blown away, exposing the black earth and solid rock beneath it, the gravitational pull was broken in an instant, and the warrior wearing the black Maximilian-style heavy armor Rising into the air, he was covered in blood-like light and looked in the direction of the Black Forest Fortress, showing a sneer.

Golden behemoth? The tide of wild beasts?

Facing him, they are all vulnerable.

— Black Forest Fortress.

When the masked warrior, Kyle Uranos woke up from a brief coma, he saw a black and smoky fortress and touched cold weapons.

The magic power of chaos is calling for the wind and snow, gray clouds slowly appear in the sky, palm-sized snowflakes are circling on the battlefield, the screams of the wind mixed with the roar of battle like thunder, rushing into the man's ears together, making him chaotic His spirit quickly returned to normal, and he became more sober than ever.

"I'm actually still alive..."

With a hint of a smile in his vague voice, Keely struggled to get up, using the steel spear in his hand as a crutch, adapting to his injured body, and standing on the city wall covered with a layer of frost and snow.

What happened before?

As soon as this question appeared in his mind, it was answered by the soldier's own memory.

"...When I blocked the giant beast, I was blown away and I was still alive. It's good luck..."

The internal organs are aching, the gray eyes of the soldier look around, the war is still going on, on the battlefield wrapped in purple mist, the smoke caused by the roar of the artillery rises into the sky, the fluctuation of magic power explodes all the time, the earth shakes loudly, but the killing that resounds through the sky The sound drowned out all the noise.

"All listen to the order!"

Suddenly, a strong and heroic command sounded from the front, breaking through the chaotic and noisy battlefield.

"Enchant archer, mage, siege crossbow, artillery prepare in turn, aim - cover and shoot!!!"

"yes!"

Scattered, but the voices of these responses could be heard clearly. A few seconds later, the black rainstorm of arrows streaked across the sky with a buzzing sound, and pierced through the air, while various spells raised rock thorns, shaking Opening up the atmosphere, or igniting the molten fire, calling for Ningbing, they all hit the densely tumbling herd of wild beasts under the city wall, causing huge commotion and casualties.

Immediately afterwards, there was the slight tremor produced by the enchanted bed crossbow shooting and the roar of the artillery. Countless huge holes appeared in the chaotic beast tide in an instant. The violent explosion brought scorching shock waves, melting the surrounding ice and snow, and the fiery The steam was diffuse, blending with the black-purple dust, making it extremely turbid.

But the beast tide didn't seem to retreat in the slightest, ignoring the death of the 'companion', these monsters continued to open their fangs, stretched their sharp claws, and rushed towards the fortress with sticky and smelly saliva, they attacked The city wall smashed the rocks with sharp claws and climbed up bit by bit. The latecomers followed in the footsteps of the former and advanced quickly.

However, the few monsters with breathing ability did not charge blindly. They stayed in place, gathered the surrounding magic power, and then sprayed out beams of light of various colors, bombarding the walls and towers of the fortress, accompanied by waves of not serious shaking , the smoke and dust rose, and the gravel fell.

"Well--"

A lightning-like and rapid electric blue breath shot towards the direction of the masked soldier. Keely turned around to avoid it, but his injured body still hindered his movement. The steel spear beside him melted.

The black iron gun barrel turned red in an instant, and immediately let go of the weapon in his hand. The soldier turned his head angrily to look for the monster attacking him, but unexpectedly felt a coolness on his face. The masked helmet has been shot down.

"It's really troublesome." Long dark blue hair fluttered in the air, and his ears, which were slightly pointed compared to humans, trembled. Keeley gathered his hair and tied it into a simple ponytail. The tattoo inscribed with the blood of monsters has blue-blue lightning flowing on it. He frowned and said, "Using the power of lightning to deal with me? It's ridiculous."

But now is not the time to deal with a monster that is only middle-level silver at most and can't even break through his magic pattern defense. He has more important things to do.

Picking up a straight sword left by a soldier casually from the ground, Keely looked around the battlefield again, this time he finally found his target.

It was a battlefield on the other side of the city wall. The blond knight and the white-haired mage teamed up to cooperate with the long-range attack supported by the fortress tower and entangled with the berserk monster. The huge strength of the gold rank was tightly entangled by these two experienced silver peaks, unable to continue to attack the city wall.

But even so, knights and mages persisted very hard. They wielded cross hammers and staffs, and used various fighting skills and spells, but they were unable to break through the ice tide and ice armor, causing decisive damage to the golden monster , can only hinder the opponent's impact and let it circle in place.

Human physical strength has limits, but giant beasts have endless endurance. When their strength is exhausted, this deadlock is broken.

Keeley pressed his chest, his internal organs were still aching, and the injuries caused by being knocked into the air by the giant beast were very serious. Even with his elven blood, plus the resilience of the magic pattern and the silver warrior, he couldn't survive such a short period of time. Restores the fighting power of the prime time within a short period of time.

"But that's enough for now."

Quickly running towards the battlefield over there, the half-elf warrior was about to return to his own battlefield.

But an inexplicable chill struck behind him, causing his body to tremble instinctively.

At the same time, the two peak-level silver knights and mages who were entangled with the giant beast also felt the dreadful, but unexpectedly uneasy chill. They moved at the same time to force the giant beast back, and then instinctively He raised his head and looked into the distance.

A dark red light rose in the distant sky, dyeing the cloudy red like sunset glow.
