Chapter 2: Piercing the Endless Darkness

"When the first rays of light penetrate the endless darkness, when there is real value for possession, when all the needs of life begin to rotate. There is no sun and moon, no stars, no cosmology as you know it.

Here, as a new world created by God. It subverts the common sense of the world.

The Oracle Continent is said to be a suspended continent created by the destruction of another world and the creation god.

In the center of the continent there is an endless ocean, which the people of this world call "the Great Lake".

And above the Great Lake, is the Holy Land of the Powerful, the Kingdom of Cloud Nightmare!

"Then can I go up to the Sacred Land? They must be very powerful. The boy's eyes widened and he looked up.

"There's no need, you're better than all of them. Who's going to guard the lake when you get there?"

"Does someone have to live under them?"

"Yes, it has to be. ”

Quaint, poor, obscure...

Even if you live at the foot of the most prosperous empire, such a small town is inevitably a little weak.

"Hey, did you hear that? It's horrible. ”

"When two great powers go to war, we, the civilians, have to suffer again. ”

"How is this good? The demon seeds planted last year have not yet been harvested. ”

"No, don't think about it that much. This place is at the foot of the Cloud Nightmare Country, and there is no other place where we are safe. ”

"Just pray that the Cloudmare Nation wins, and those Scott's mad dogs will perish. ”

At noon, on the streets of the town, it seemed that everyone was talking about something important.

"Hush. The boy walked briskly past the men, stepping on the bluestone floor. The young man's eyes revealed extreme disdain.

Bronzed skin, paired with the dirty clothes that are characteristic of the town. A boy of six or seven years old has angry and fierce eyes.

"Is that the kid?"

"Let's go, stay away from that little ghost. ”

"That guy is a disaster for the town, if it weren't for the mayor's insistence on leaving him behind..."The middle-aged townspeople looked at the little boy with their back to them with a look of contempt in their eyes.

The boy stopped, tilting his head slightly to look behind him. glared at the middle-aged man viciously: "Huh!"

Several middle-aged people regressed one after another, which was somewhat inconsistent with the conventional attitude towards children.

"Bad luck is in the way, the town will be ruined at the hands of this child. ”

He turned, his steps quickening.

"Woe is coming again, so stay away from him. That guy was born with an ominous curse. The homeless man on the street corner shouted loudly in terror.

"Hurry...", and the townsfolk in the street fled one by one.

"Ignorant ordinary people, you will regret it. Treat me like this, and all of you will regret it. ”

The boy muttered, making his way to the depths of the town. His name is "Ryuzawa", and he is a natural ability who lives in a land affected by the war.

The people of the town showed extreme disgust and fear of the able. On the other hand, he wanted to seek their refuge from the bottom of his heart. To put it bluntly, it's all selfishness.

Therefore, there are only three people in this town who can be trusted.

One was a beautiful woman he called "godmother", a young woman in her thirties. She is also a capable person, and every time she will tell him legends about the beginning of the birth of the continent, but ...... Even if they have been with her for the longest time, they know the least about her.

The second is the blacksmith on the South Road of the town, Drucker.

Usually lives a very leisurely life, not like a blacksmith at all. The big things he knows are much fresher than those of "godmother", they are all recent, and they are so detailed that people think they are fake.

And the third person is a sentry of the Cloud Nightmare Country.

This guy is always drunk and calls himself a disciple of the god of wind. He doesn't look like a soldier at all, but he must be a very powerful person according to his own words.

It stands to reason that this guy should have been a stranger. However, in Long Ze's opinion, for some reason, he always felt that the other party had a certain moment to attract him.

"Hey, boy. I'm in such a hurry to go back. Do you want to sit here? The sturdy middle-aged man with his shirtless body suddenly stopped Long Ze. He also has bronze skin. A hideous knife wound tore through the middle-aged man's sturdy muscles, which looked like scars from many years ago.

Drucker, the blacksmith, is the only person in town who has personally experienced the war and survived.

"Drucker?"

"Do you want to know the latest news from the outside world, about the seething war between the empires that is rumoring among the townspeople. ”

"Not interested. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, you kid hasn't come to see me in two weeks. Drucker shouted.

"My godmother was looking for me, and her induction technique kept calling me back. ”

"The capable ones are really powerful, but the two empires I'm going to talk about are the "Cloud Nightmare Country" in the center of the continent that is famous for its abilities, and the empire "Scott" in the northern snow fields that is famous for its strange technology, is there really no interest at all?" Drucker raised the huge forging hammer and continued to ask excitedly.

"Cloud Nightmare Country? Is it the Cloud Nightmare Country of the Holy Land of the Continent's Capable People? I guess it's something inconsequential. I don't want to miss news about that empire. Long Ze rushed to the blacksmith shop and patted Drucker on the shoulder excitedly.

"Hey, tell me about it. What the hell is going on? ”

"Scott has been capturing the able, as a secret experiment to study energy. Have you heard of this?" Drucker asked earnestly.

"Not yet, that's unlikely. How can people be used as an energy source?" Long Ze tilted his head in disbelief.

"The innate ability possessed by a person with natural ability is a resource in itself, and the definition of this energy in the Cloud Nightmare Country is also very comprehensive, and the mind qi is the difference between being an ability person and ordinary people.

Because Scott's plundering of the Capable Mind Qi seriously affected the security of the Cloud Nightmare Country, the two countries declared war last week. According to the time, Scott's army should have reached the outskirts of the Nianfang Holy Land by now. Drucker frowned slightly.

"Have you arrived outside the city, is the big battle about to begin?" Although Ryuzawa was only six or seven years old, he had a maturity that should not be at this age, a fortitude that had been slowly cultivated through years of hostility and ridicule from the townspeople.

"Empty!" Suddenly, an electric current flashed in Long Ze's mind, and a middle-aged woman's figure appeared in his mind.

"Ozawa, run away. Don't come back, don't!" the middle-aged woman's eyes widened, and extreme fear spread from the top of her head to her limbs.

"Godmother!" Long Ze shouted, pulling himself out of the sudden nerve conduction technique.

"What's wrong?" Drucker looked at him in surprise, obviously unaware of what the capable person saw.

"I'm going back first!" Long Ze said in a hurried voice, and then quickly stood up.

A look of sadness flashed in Drucker's eyes: "Then you...... Be careful. ”

"Hmm. Long Ze nodded, and rushed out of the blacksmith shop directly, galloping along the way. Rushing towards the south of the town at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people.

In the tavern at the entrance of the town, a young man in a white robe held a cabinet in one hand and a wine gourd in the other.

After a grunt, he put down the wine gourd with a faint drunkenness.

"Hey, your wine is terrible. ”

Xiao Er cautiously replied in a low voice, "My lord, you don't give money every time you come to drink." The total amount of wine in our small shop is a small business, and it can't be compared to the Wangdu Tavern. ”

Suddenly, the young man paused, and quickly turned his gaze to the door. There was a faint hint of anger in his eyes.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

The young man didn't reply, just put away the wine gourd and rushed out of the restaurant.

"My wind, I found some interesting people. The young man's figure flashed, and he disappeared in an instant accompanied by a wisp of fresh wind.

At this time, Long Ze had already arrived where he was going.

"Godmother, I'm back. Long Ze opened the door of a room in a mansion, and it was dim and there was no light to see.

"Purple fire, illuminate!" The voice fell, and Long Ze's body was instantly filled with purple flames, illuminating the entire room as if it were day.

The middle-aged woman fell to the ground, covered in scars.

The walls were full of deep holes, except for the table. The rest of the furniture was destroyed.

Obviously, not so long ago there was an unusually dangerous battle here.

Long Ze squatted down and helped the woman to the wall and leaned against it.

"Run, they're coming. The woman's voice was extremely weak with a trill.

"Godmother, who are they?" Long Ze couldn't help but ask, it stands to reason that ordinary soldiers can't compete with the capable, and his godmother used to fight as the guardian of the "Great Lake", so naturally ordinary people will not be her opponents.

Who the hell is it?

Just when he was confused, a strange laugh suddenly sounded at the door: "Qiang Qiang, I finally found it." Nine-grade innate ability. ”

Long Ze subconsciously looked towards the door, suddenly. A silver ray instantly tore through the gate and forced Long Ze to kill.

"Huh!"

"Poof!" the silver mang nailed to the wall behind Long Ze, and there was a crackling sound. It was a thunderbolt with a bright light.

Several figures flashed around Long Ze in an instant, and these people were all wearing pitch-black robes. The robes are printed with a picture of a black-winged tiger.

It looks like a hallmark of some kind of organization.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

"Hmph, little ghost. I'm Team N of Scott's adjudication team, Thunder Halberd Xuantian. All you have to do now is get knocked out by me and come with us. The black-robed man in the lead said with a wicked smile.

"Are these guys Scott's organization? are they the ones who specialize in capturing young, unarmed people with natural abilities for their energy supply? ”

"Qiang Qiang, the little guy knows a lot. I don't want to talk nonsense with you here, either we will be taken away honestly, or we will suffer a lot of pain, the choice is yours. Xuantian roared, and the thunder halberd instantly flew back from the wall behind Long Ze and landed firmly in his hand.

"Breathless! At that moment, the entire room instantly emitted a dark golden light.

"What is this? Damn, don't let that little imp run. ”

Long Ze knew that this was the spiritual ability that the godmother possessed. Once unleashed, this ability can damage the user greatly, but it can briefly mentally suppress enemies of any strength, leaving them in a state of cholera.

"Run, Long Ze. It's you who they're going to catch. The middle-aged woman's voice sounded, and Long Ze gritted his teeth. Rushed out directly.

After the light passed, several members of the adjudication team came back to their senses. It has been discovered that Long Ze is missing.

"Smack. With a wave of his hand, the teacup on the table fell to the ground and shattered. The bloodshot in his eyes was intertwined with the anger that was full of anger, and it looked extremely hideous.

"Hmph!" The eyes containing murderous intent instantly moved to the middle-aged woman on the ground.

"Kill you!"

......

"Click, click...", the galloping footsteps stopped abruptly, and Long Ze looked towards the place before. He gasped for breath with horror.

"Sora!" the nerve connection seemed to be severed by something, and a momentary tingling pain gave him a bad premonition.

"Godmother?" At the moment when he was struggling, a strong big hand grabbed Long Ze's shoulder.

"Let's go...", a familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Drucker looked at him with an unusually serious expression.

"Uncle?"

"Don't ask, I'll explain to you in a moment. Anyway, just follow me. Drucker looked nervous, he knew a lot.

But in memory, Uncle does know a lot of things.

The big hand grabbed Long Ze tightly and led him all the way. He then fled back to his previous blacksmith's shop.

As soon as he entered the door, Drucker let go of the hand that was holding Long Ze and quickly turned around.

"Actually, my real name isn't Drucker. The blacksmith said with a rusty hammer in one hand and in an unusually firm and mysterious tone.

At this moment, the surface of the hammer began to glow slowly, like a burning flame. The entire hammer became unusually dazzling under the flames.

After the firelight, the original ordinary forging hammer turned into a blood-red war hammer.

The totem of the dragon pattern is engraved on the hammer, which is extremely powerful.

"I am the Red Dragon Kan, the guardian of the Divine Dragon. ”

"What the hell is this?, Uncle is not an ordinary person?" Long Ze was a little incredulous.

"On the Oracle Continent, there used to be two ancient dragons. One is the Purple Fire Dragon in the Grotto that lives in the depths of the "Great Lake", and the other is the Snow Ice Dragon Beast, Scott's guardian beast.

As the inheritor of the dragon's will, I will be endowed with a powerful dragon pattern, and this war hammer is proof that I am recognized by the purple fire dragon. Drucker continued.

"Then does this have anything to do with me?" Long Ze was obviously still a little puzzled.

"The Purple Fire Dragon is dead, but as the inheritor of the dragon. You, Long Ze, have been given the life of a true dragon. Survive as the continent's top innate ability. You're the Purple Fire Dragon, and the Purple Fire Dragon is you!" Drucker continued.

"The Purple Fire Dragon died?why??, what is the reason for that?" Long Ze was puzzled.

"Naturally, it's because of other divine beasts, in short, you have to know that you are a strong person who has obtained extreme power. Even I can't be your opponent. ”

"Who are those people? According to you, my godmother and you are both inheritors recognized by the dragon?"

"You're only half right, she's not the inheritor of the dragon. Your birth is the incarnation of a god, the reincarnation of a god in the mortal world. Therefore, this continent is your parents. Drucker added.

"There may be a sense of being deceived, but reason tells me that you may be telling the truth. ”

"So, Lord Shenlong. Please leave this place if you are caught by the heinous wicked of the adjudication team. It's dangerous. ”

"But this is a time of crisis. I can't leave you alone. Long Ze said loudly, at such a young age, he already has a strong sense of responsibility.

"Your responsibility, my lord, is to get out alive. And the people chosen by the true dragon are to escort you out alive, and those guys are battle-hardened warriors. If you get caught, it's dangerous. ”

"But..."Long Ze struggled, not knowing what to do.

"No, though, those guys will come in a minute. I'll stop them, and you can find a way to get out of town. With a wave of the Red Dragon Kan Forging Hammer, the powerful momentum instantly spread out.

"Those people are coming, remember. Don't look back, go out the back door all the way south. Until the end of the town. ”

When it was too late, a wave of blue energy suddenly poured in. In an instant, it collided with Chilongkan's mental qi.

Whew!!

The three figures flashed to the center of the room in an instant, and it was the previous Thunder Halberd Xuantian.

"Jiupin Nian Qi Energy, you can't run away!" Lei Ji Xuantian laughed loudly and stretched out his right hand forward. The ring on his finger instantly emitted a dazzling light, and the faint blue thoughts raged wildly.

A thunder halberd appeared out of thin air in the light, and it turned out that the thunder halberd was made from the technology ring on his hand.

"It's said that Scott's cold technology is weird, and today it is not true. With a swing of the Red Dragon Kan Iron Hammer, the color of the blood-red mind qi gradually became deeper, and it was already crimson in the blink of an eye.

The terrifying aura also shocked Xuantian and the others retreated one after another, and Xuantian frowned and looked at Chilongkan.

"This guy is not a good stubble, he has to think of a way. After thinking about it in his heart, Xuantian suddenly turned positive, and put away the thunder halberd with a smile: "This gentleman, there is no need to cause trouble." We only want that child, and it will never harm your interests. ”

"Hmph, that's what I'm trying to protect. I'll see which of you dares to touch him!" Chi Longkan shouted, his breath soaring again.

"Hmph, do you know who we are? Saying that, Xuan Tian lit up the black-winged tiger on the black robe, and roared with a hint of anger.

"Over the years, you have done a lot of evil in the northern part of the continent, and to be honest, I can't get used to it. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally want to ask for advice. Saying that, Chilongkan pressed towards the three Xuantian in an instant, and the hammer in his hand also smashed down.

"Pathetic megalomaniacs, disrespectful to Scott. Pay it with your life. Xuantian mentioned the thunder halberd and rushed towards him.

"Phew!"

The two figures, one red and one blue, left in mid-air with a touch.

"Haha, interesting. Chi Long Kan laughed and rushed forward again.

"Hmph. ”

The two figures collided with each other again, and then the sound of ping-pong came one after another, and Long Ze's vision could only see the two phantoms moving rapidly in the room and colliding with each other.

Each level of attack carries powerful energy fluctuations that can be detected by the attentive person. On the surface, it doesn't seem like a fierce duel, but in fact, every attack is enough to kill your opponent with a single blow.

This extreme battle of speed and power is different from large-scale destruction-type combat, and it is no weaker than such a duel.

Long Ze, who was looking out of his mind, was suddenly stopped, obviously. The members of the two adjudication teams on the opposite side had already noticed the unsuspecting Long Ze.

"Run, Long Ze. As I said before, get out of here. As soon as Chi Longkan's words fell, the two black-robed men immediately moved.
