Chapter 553: The Burning Expedition 'Icarus' Born to the Sun
PS: Background BGM for this chapter: Icarus.
"The bottomless abyss... will?"
At the same moment, looking at the high-level demons in front of him who were not afraid of death and rushed towards him, with a fanatical look in their eyes, Li Wei muttered consciously.
The will of the abyss is chaotic and vague, yet it does exist in a way that mortals cannot understand.
Levier's bloody journey and endless slaughter have pleased the will of the Abyss, so he has gained the favor of the Abyss!
The Abyssal Will sensed the idea that he wanted to go against it, so he sensed the wrath of the Abyss!
It can't tolerate a guy who has gained enough power and benefit from it to leave before he has fully surrendered his loyalty to it!
"I'm afraid the biggest obstacle on our way back is coming... Prepare for battle...", with this realization, Li Wei said slowly.
The so-called obstacles in his mouth naturally did not refer to these high-level demons who were slaughtered by his subordinates one after another before they even rushed in front of him.
"Are we in the way? Loved taking on new challenges!"
Calvin and his meditative body raised their heads at the same time, swept past the demons, and looked into the void behind them, revealing a hint of nezumi-like fervor that defied everything and overturned everything.
The number of Cavins nezumi is so large that even with the help of the 'Heavenly Kingdom' and the 'Slime Hive Big Data Processing Center' to share this burden, they are still inevitably affected by the huge subconscious group of the nezumi race.
"More enemies!" Cavinnis, the Death Deer, roared as he wielded three blades full of muscles.
"More killing!" Quetto the Headhunter slashed off the head of a berserker with an axe, stabbing the handle of the axe against the leaderless neck.
"More death!" Withertail Trites peuvelled his staff, slowly stepping across the rotten ground covered in pus and corpses.
"More destruction!" said Wildtalon Icott, holding aloft the smoke-emitting prosthetic alchemy cannon.
"What can't destroy us!, it only makes us stronger!" Lord Cavins Skuk hissed as he carried Zelandia's dragon-headed banner and let out a cry that resounded through the mountains.
“YEAH!!!”
“Die!Die!Die!”
“IsaGoodDaytoDie!!!”
The fanaticism of all the nezumi warriors seemed to have soared a level again, and the mountain calls echoed over the battlefield for a long time.
Just as Levier was about to storm the portal of the valley with a terrible tide of rats, a voice that was extremely cold but extremely crazy sounded slowly:
"I smell death... with the taste of bloodshed.
"The fragrance of the twisted soul... In full bloom!
After hearing this demonic whisper that seemed to echo throughout the bloody battlefield, all the spectators, including Byer, held their breath.
"It's this being... But... And it does make sense. Bayer smiled without warmth.
Obviously, this was not an ending he liked.
In the depths of the bronze fortress, in the endless sea of wealth, Tiamat's eyes slowly raised, revealing an inexplicable smile:
"Very well, in that case, you should have only one way to pray to me again, right?
"Tiberius..."
The whispers that echoed across the battlefield were like some kind of prelude.
The next moment, among the skulls of all the dead demons on the battlefield, a faint soul flame was revealed, and the corpses began to wriggle like maggots in a blood tank, and the flesh and blood dissolved.
Then, in the middle of the battlefield, in front of the portal, a fortress of bones stacked at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the top of the Bone Fortress, a huge phanther seemed to gradually emerge from the illusion into reality.
The demonic creature was fat and fat, with huge, spiraling horns on his goat's head, heavy brown hair on his legs, goat-like hooves, huge strong arms wielding an evil skull wand, two huge black bat-like wings stretching out from his back, and a long snake-like tail with sharp barbs trailing behind him, like a rattlesnake trembling and shaking with the excitement of its owner.
And around the battlefield, the corpses that had already died turned into undead spirits and stood up again on the battlefield...
On the battlefield, flying in mid-air, Levier had no sorrow or joy.
When he saw the monster with goat horns projected out in front of him, he whispered its name:
"The Immortal King, Orcas. ”
The Demon Lords of Hell, Tiamat, and many of the Abyss' Demon Lords also whispered the name of this Demon Lord.
"Yes... It is only this existence who is most eager to be recognized by the abyss at this moment. The Abysirons Commander muttered based on some of the secrets he knew.
Ocas's reputation was so loud that everyone couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the name from Shangfeng's mouth.
Unlike the other two of the three demon lords of the abyss, even among all the demon lords, Orkas is one of the few souls who have come to the outer plane and grown from the lowest demon larvae in the abyss to the existence where they are now.
After Orcas became the Demon Lord, his notoriety spread across all planes, claiming to be the creator of the undead, controlling beings from the outer planes far from the negative energy plane, and Orcas became even more notorious for mastering the secrets of the "living dead".
One might wonder that this Demon Monarch, who has been competing with other rivals, has been waging endless wars across the multiple dimensions of the Abyss, spending most of his time in his palace and almost never leaving his realm unless he decides to lead his army into battle himself.
How could such an existence be interested in a red dragon lord, and even more so impatient to jump out?
As far as the Abysiron Ruler knows, Orkas was 'killed' once in the early years by the undead goddess of vengeance, Kiawin Sali, which is why Orkas completely transformed into an undead creature completely.
Now, he is too eager for a new source of power, and the re-recognition of the will of the abyss!
So, Ocass sensed the opportunity, and in his opinion, it was a simple 'task'.
It's also a delicious feast!
"Thanks... Thank you for such a delicious feast for me!
"Come, let's make this song of death and killing even more frenzied!"
The Immortal King roared excitedly, as if to extend an invitation to eternal death.
"Calvin, cover me for my breakthrough to the portal. Levier did not respond verbally to the invitation, but intently commanded.
"No problem. Calvin and 'Darwin' said in unison.
"Icott, Skuk, keep the fire suppressed.
"Cavinnis, Trist, and Cuito, with the main force to fight into the portal.
"The other nezumi, let them disperse underground. Levier said.
From the moment this immortal king appeared, victory on the battlefield was no longer something that ordinary rat men could decide the victory.
It can even be said that this is a fundamentally invincible existence for them!
Even if he's just a projection...
But sometimes, even in the face of such a desperate situation, there is a reason to fight.
It's like life, even if you have a bad card in your hand, there are thousands of people on the other side...
You also have to... Let's finish playing this deck!
Because, only a true warrior dares to face the bleak life! Dare to face the dripping blood!
Talent... There's a glimmer of opportunity...
Break through the clouds and see the light!
"YES!" the nezumi leaders responded.
Bang bang!
The Cavins rats who had taken over several of the heights fired in unison again, and the Gatling herd of another rat army began to roar in the sky.
"It's useless. Baier shook his head.
As Bair had said, the previous invincible fire suppression had not yet reached the immortal king's side this time, as if it had encountered an invisible barrier, and it exploded one after another.
[Entropy Light Shield]!
[Chaos Barrier]!
[Wall of Bones]!
[Anti-Death Enchantment]!
[The realm of the gods]!
"Greet... Embrace death. ”
Unscathed, Orcas held up his large, black skull-shaped cane, like the conductor in front of a symphony orchestra with a baton, first asking for a nod towards a mountain.
As a result, a mountain in the distance collapsed silently, and hundreds of thousands of nezumi gunners turned into a rain of flesh and blood in the sky.
[Smash Sonic Wave]!
On another point, more than six figures of Cavins-like on the plains fell silently as if their flesh was shrinking.
[Crowd Blight]!
Again, the Gatling swarm with the Sabot Trap launcher was mostly dumbfounded.
[Chaos Mantra - Death]!
It's just that when he was about to use [Resurrection of the Dead] again, the dead nezumi did not stand up and fight for him as he expected.
The next moment, the scarlet gaze of the huge figure suddenly stared at Darwin, the structure that was hurrying forward in the rat colony.
"Interesting! Your choice of priesthood is interesting, I'm deeply interested!!"
It was only when the immortal king pointed at Darwin with the [Finger of Death] that the figure of the red dragon lord appeared in front of him and opened his mouth to him.
"Roar !!!!"
With an earth-shattering dragon roar, the fiery breath burst out again.
Looking at the dragon's breath that erupted like a flare, the immortal king showed his true color for the first time, and sat down with his scepter, and the sea of corpses on the ground rose nine [walls of bones] in a row.
But it still pierced, melted, and exploded as if it had been cut through cream by a red-hot blade! It directly shattered the nine [Wall of Bones], [Entropy Light Shield], and [Chaos Barrier], splitting the Bone Throne under the Orcas Seat in two!
Rumble!
With a violent explosion, a rain of bones and corpses flew down from the sky, and the fat and ugly immortal king finally landed on the blood-colored earth, and the [Death-proof Enchantment] on his body shattered, leaving only an indestructible layer of [God Domain].
He slowly raised his head and looked at Levier, who had inflicted this blow in mid-air, and his originally crazy face showed a trace of calm admiration:
"Such a pure destructive force can already pose a threat to my projection, it's a... The perfect 'container'!"
Levier didn't talk nonsense, and the auxiliary engine was fully open.
Along with the fiery tail flame trajectory, everyone saw that this red dragon that defied common sense instantly broke through a white mist-like sound barrier cloud, dragging seven giant swords towards the projected immortal king.
Bite!
But just as his sword blade was about to penetrate the figure in front of him, the sword blade was like an invisible barrier that seemed to be close at hand but far away from the world, and he couldn't get past it no matter what.
The violent impact force formed a crater-like crater around it, and all the rubble and corpses around it bounced in all directions.
"Offer me your loyalty and your soul, you won't be able to get by.
"This is the gap between the demon lord and the lord, and it is also the boundary between mortal things and 'gods'. ”
Then he opened his hideous mouth to the limit, and let out a silent roar.
Banshee's Howl!
Levier's figure immediately flew out at a faster speed than it had come, and was embedded in the rock wall of a mountain peak.
But he didn't dare to stop for the slightest, raised his head sharply, and then used his cracked wings to brace himself out of place.
He saw a huge meteorite crash into the place where he had been staying.
[Meteor Burst]!
Levier, who had just escaped the catastrophe, ignored the noise of the undead king, but just as he was about to launch another futile charge like a trapped beast at the end of his rope, Calvin's voice suddenly came:
"Boss, I'm here to try to create an opportunity for you..."
Levier's pupils froze suddenly, and he was immediately a little relieved:
"Can you handle it?"
"Probably okay, we don't have any more options anyway, do we?"
"yes..."
Levier sighed.
The next moment, he jerked his head up, ignoring Kaka's mechanical warning that kept ringing in his head, and then muttered to himself:
"From the moment we embarked on this journey, there was no choice!"
There was a groan of metal twisting, and Levi directly tore a rolled up steel plate on his chest, and then more metal components bounced off his body, and the mechanical sound in his ears began to swipe the screen:
"LW-02 structure, shoulder armor long-range fire weapon has fallen off!
"The ammunition depot has ejected!
"The eight restrictors have been lifted!
"The Hidden Repair Component module has fallen off!
"All armor has been removed!
"WARNING!Core Power Furnace Overloaded!108%!120%!164%!268%!300%!
"LW-02 structure, four engines are fully open!
"Warning! Your mech is in destruction mode!"
"Warning! Your mech is in destruction mode!"
......
"What the hell is he doing..."
Immediately, the entire lower plane watched as broken scales, twisted barrels, and damaged metal components continued to pop out of the bruised red dragon.
"It's spectacular! I can feel your will, burning, but why, I can't feel your soul fluctuation?"
The immortal king directly opposite was also amazed to look at the scene of the 'Tyrannosaurus unarmouring', as if he was looking at a work of art, and he even couldn't bear to destroy it.
And just then, another voice suddenly sounded:
"You say, this is the boundary between the mortal and the 'God'?
"Then let me Calvin, see where the limit is. ”
Orcas slowly twisted his neck, and saw another much smaller structure, also red, and at the same time, the exponentially expanding light of faith also made his eyes squint slightly.
“DIE!
“DIE!
“DIE!!!”
The entire battlefield of the Cavins rats is like a wood-gatherer, watching the flame of faith grow stronger and stronger!
It's as if they see the light!
Then they all disappeared into the darkness!
I saw 'Darwin' and Calvin look at each other, and then suddenly turned into a meteor and fell towards Orcas, who was unresponsive!
All they saw was a terrible explosion that left the heavens and the earth white, and it flooded everything in the horizon.
At the center of the explosion, an incomparably pure and majestic cross light spot was solemn and holy!
It's like being in a place like the Cavins rat, the dirtiest, the darkest, the dirtiest...
But it bloomed the purest and most dazzling flower of faith...
"Ah!!" Calvin, who was bypassing the center of the explosion and rushing towards the portal, suddenly let out a low roar of pain.
With the sudden disappearance of Darwin's split, the whole belief of the Cavins rat fell on him.
Hair immediately grew on his chest at a speed visible to the naked eye, but as soon as the hair grew, it was burned by the flames, and his ears became much narrower.
Then, as agreed with Levi, he rushed into the portal with a group of nezumi forces that Orcas ignored.
At the same moment, Levi took that step, and then flew towards the place behind the explosion.
At that moment, everyone looked at this heroic and decisive scene and was silent.
On a mountain peak in the distance, Palephine, the red shroud that couldn't hold back the throbbing projection of her heart after all, also looked at Levi who rushed into the 'sun' and muttered:
"It turns out... Are you going to do that Icarus too..."
It was the 'story' that Levier had told to Alley and Little Fall from Grace, and she had listened to it with relish.
It's just that she didn't expect that she would witness this scene herself.
In the flames of faith that no one could see, Levier, whose speed had soared to Mach 4, pushed the roaring undead king Orkas all the way to finally reach the portal.
Just as he was about to rush out, he felt invisible chains as if they were imprisoning him in front of the door.
"Get out of the !!!!," Revel let out one last roar as his structure had begun to melt.
Click, click, invisible lock links are broken, but more chains are ushered in.
That is, the will of the abyss!
However, Levi's head still slowly poked out half of it, and he glanced out the door, towards the location of Bai Cheng, who had been besieged by demons for half a month, and then coughed up a black box from his mouth and rolled to the ground.
'I... And it did—' he said to himself.
Then he was dragged back through the door again.
"You, you can't go back!" the Undead King roared angrily.
"Really?!" Li Wei, who had already gotten his wish, slowly grinned the corners of his mouth, revealing a hideous smile:
"You'd better sleep with me for a while!!"
Levier's claws leaning against the portal suddenly appeared another ghostly 'portal'.
[Alien Plane Summoning]!
"No !!"
Then I saw two spatial gates like galactic clouds that had suddenly collided together.
On this day, since the Great Abyss, the largest man-made disaster roared on the Wanyuan Plain.
This explosion also shook the entire lower planes, including Bato Hell, the Bottomless Abyss, and so on.
......
Icarus, son of Daedalus in ancient Greek mythology. His father collected tens of thousands of seabird feathers and fused them with honey wax to make two pairs of wings that could carry people into the sky, and escaped from Crete. After taking off, Icarus, who was proud and longed for freedom, forgot his father's warning and flew into the scorching sun high in the sky. I hope to be able to touch the scorching sun, let its wings melt and burn, and finally fall into the sea and die......
