Chapter 31: The Devil's Rain (1)
With a "snap", Eric's head was firmly stuck in the middle of the steel bone, and the Venada steel on his body was activated by the new loyalty module, and the magic flow continued to surge in his body, like countless small blue snakes scurrying around.
Clenching his fists, Eric let out a loud snort.
"Is this the power of the I-type Venada steel, I feel full of power!"
Oreo put away his toolbox and looked out into the distance.
"Part of it."
Eric threw his fist at the air, which was violently compressed and then exploded, a loud sonic boom echoing through the room.
He retracted his fist contentedly.
"Lord Oreo, is it partly because you upgraded my combat system?"
"Nope."
Oreo shook his head slowly, "Your loyalty module has been modified many times, and the first protection device has been overwhelmed, so I destroyed it. β
"Protective Device ......"
Eric fell to his knees and looked desperate, "Wouldn't I...... One step closer to death? β
"As the first batch of steel spirits made by the Venada Empire, you have a total of four protection procedures, and I just destroyed one of them."
Oreo clapped his hands, "And the Venada Steel Spirit itself is no different from the dead, and even inferior to the undead in some ways. β
"That'...... too"
Hearing footsteps outside the door, Eric was about to say something and immediately shut down, this was his agreement with Oreo.
"Knock knock."
Oreo cut his hair, turned to look at the person who came, the person who came was the leader of the Thunder Lion Army Herson, this old man who had enjoyed himself for many years found the passion of the year as soon as he entered the battlefield, and it was common to discuss tactics all night.
Looking at the sky, Oreo estimated that it was almost dawn.
"Aren't you going to rest?"
"I just got up,"
Herson glanced at Eric, who was showing off his steel bones in place.
He looked the Venada Steel Spirit up and down for a moment, judging his head as he moved his hands up and down.
"This is the upgraded Venada Steel Spirit, it doesn't look very powerful."
"Commander of Herson."
Oreo interrupted him, "What's the point of coming here so late?" β
Herson slapped his head.
"By the way, what am I going to do...... The astrologer in the city said that it would rain heavily today, and that our magicians would be of little use, and that the Venadas would definitely take advantage of this to sneak up, and that I would have to send scouts to the periphery to be on guard. β
"Hmm."
Oreo answered, and he gave Herson a ride, and then led Eric towards Gaia's barracks.
"Lord Pravor."
Almost as soon as the curtain was lifted, Gaia's voice rang out.
Eric crept behind Oreo, cautiously surveying the figure behind his desk, and although Gaia was now in human form, it felt very bad, like a dragon on the lookout.
"Commander Gaia."
Oreo sat down across from his desk, staring into Gaia's eyes for a moment, then slowly stood up and leaned forward.
"I want to see your dragon's eye."
Gaia nodded, he stretched out his right hand, and the flesh of his palm split as if it had been cut, and instead of bright red flesh, the crack was a pale yellow film.
The film trembled for a moment, and then an eyeball flipped out from the bottom up, and two distorted vertical pupils stared at Oreo left and right, and the orange-red circle of light on the edge of the pupil flickered, making people's hair tingle.
"If I'm not mistaken......"
Oreo hesitated and stretched out his hands, which he rolled into a tube to cover the dragon's eye, and then brought the eye closer.
"This longan wasn't this color before, did I feel wrong?"
Gaia withdrew her right hand, and the dragon's eye vanished in the blink of an eye.
He nodded.
"As my control over the longan grows, the color of the longan is indeed deepening."
"Is that so?"
Oreo muttered, "Compared to when you first came into contact with the dragon's eye, your momentum has changed dramatically, I was worried that something was wrong with you, so I came to take a look, maybe I was too worried." β
Gaia nodded.
"I understand your concern, but there is no problem with my mental state, please rest assured."
Oreo pondered for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the wisps of flesh on his right hand disappeared into the air, but before he could completely turn into a skeleton, the dark flames quickly took over Eric's pupils, and he whispered.
"Why isn't it dawn yet?"
Only then did Gaia notice that the sky was still gloomy at this time, not even early morning, at most midnight. If it weren't for the fact that Oreo had become undead, Gaia would only suspect that the clock was broken.
Before the two could reach a conclusion, hurried footsteps came from the hallway, and Deputy Commander Brev rushed into the room sweaty.
"Commander Gaia, the Venadans have moved!"
Oreo walked quickly to the window, he poked his head out, the thick dark clouds overlapped in the distance, the sky was as gloomy as ink, and he looked farther away, and he could faintly see the yellow lines left by the sun on the edge of the clouds, and he almost suspected that the clouds in the sky were the work of some magician.
But what sorcerer's realm can cover such a vast area?
And still in heaven!
Gaia also sensed that something was wrong, and he hurriedly asked.
"Have you already laid out the city defenses?"
"All in place, but ......"
Brev glanced at Oreo, he wasn't a man who hadn't seen a lot of wind and waves, but wasn't it a little too scary for this skeleton to run around the house?
Gaia coughed twice.
"But what?"
Brev came to his senses.
"But Commander Gaia, our supply convoy left the city last night, and the Venadas, who have been unable to attack for a long time, may want to seize this opportunity."
"After so many days, do the Venadas have any killer features?"
Gaia stood up, walked around the same place for two times, and then spoke quickly.
"Brev, no matter what happens, the Okasim soldiers just need to do what a soldier should do, and as for other things...... I'll figure it out. β
"Yes!"
Brev nodded his head and quickly left.
Seeing that Oreo was still looking at the sky outside, Gaia's heart was filled with unease.
"Lord Oreo, it's time for us to ......"
Oreo finally twisted his head back, dark flames darting through his skull.
"I thought that the East Ikra people on Pinto's side were the most difficult to do, but now it seems that the Venada have prepared a big gift for us. Today's rain is extraordinary, and it is very likely that it is the forbidden magic on the Black Blood Record. β
"This rain!"
Gaia exclaimed, the clouds overhead covering the city, if the rain was the work of some magician, wouldn't the city of South Gomont be ......
"It's not as terrible as you think, if the sorcerer really has the power to destroy the world, then the Venada Empire will long since cease to exist."
Oreo patted Gaia on the shoulder, and Eric spoke quickly in the distance. "Although there will be a special rain today, the rain can't kill people, only the Venada people can kill. Like you said, the Okasim soldiers do what they have to do, and the rest is left to you, after all, you are the strongest person in the continent of Ekassina. β
Gaia slowly relaxed, he had learned about spells at the Turin Military Academy, a powerful spellmaster could indeed kill people invisibly, but the power of spellcasters did not come out of thin air, and they had to pay a price for casting spells.
Under normal circumstances, a powerful spell master can only cast three deadly spells, after which he will fall into a period of weakness for three to five days, and this rain may really be just a vision of heaven and earth.
"Lord Oreo."
Gaia turned, wanting to talk to Oreo about spells, but the figure by the window was gone, leaving only two wisps of black smoke in place.
Seeing that Gaia's gaze stopped on him, Eric shrugged.
"Do you see what I'm doing, do you want me to give you some advice? Although I used to be a Commander, now I am only the Venada Steelling, and the Venada Steelling, do you know? β
"I know."
Gaia hesitated, "But Lord Oreo left you here......"
Eric spread his hands.
"Of course it's for Okasim, do you have any orders? If not, I'll be able to move freely, and it just so happens that the system has been upgraded recently, and it's uncomfortable not to kill one or two hundred people. β
"The ......"
Before Gaia could say anything, Eric disappeared from the spot, but it was okay to stop talking to the verbose Venada Steelling.
Now that I think about it, Mr. CuarΓ³n is really a concise Venada steel spirit.
