Chapter 43: Burning Soul and Blood
In addition to the corpses of people and domestic animals, the ruined ruins were also mixed with the remains of strangely shaped undead. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Tens of thousands of undead were unilaterally destroyed so that they could not see their original form, leaving only the smell of rancid and miasma.
Heras, who fell from the sky to the ground, stepped on the bones of the skeleton, and her undisguised momentum attracted the attention of a large number of beasts and ghosts.
Heras was under the pressure of dozens of beasts and ghosts, and those cold dark green eyes were exactly the same as when she remembered what she had encountered more than ten years ago.
Heras had to admit that she was a little scared.
When her relatives were fighting against the high-level phantom species and phantom bodies, she was still a weak young dragon, and she was hunted by dozens of beasts and ghosts, and she couldn't hurt the existence of the netherworld, so she could only run away in embarrassment at that time, and finally survived.
The death of her own relatives in front of her eyes, and the feeling of helplessness that could do nothing, made Heras do her best to work hard, and in just ten years, she not only obtained special magical abilities, but also learned the power of dragon slaying, becoming the youngest participant in the Dragon King War in the history of the dragon clan.
Heras was clearly confronted by the beast ghost, but instead of thinking about fighting, she unconsciously remembered the past.
Heras, looking back on the past, felt more and more ignorant that even though she had the power to slay dragons and was able to use her underage body against her older kind, she was still inexperienced and far from able to control her own power, so she would end up seriously injured in battle.
If it weren't for her arrogance and participation in the Dragon King War, she wouldn't have fled far away, and when she met the most undesirable person when she was recuperating from her injuries, she wouldn't have become like this.
She should be in the Dragon Nest and wait for the day of adulthood.
Looking at the absent-minded Heras, the beast roared and pounced on her.
Roar!
As if they had practiced countless times, the four-headed beast attacked Heras from four different directions, sealing off all her escape places.
Heras did not dodge or dodge, and met the sharp claw strike of the beast ghost head-on.
"It seems that your attacks are no longer useful to me. ”
A blood-colored aura like flames wrapped around Heras, blocking all attacks, and she didn't take any damage, not even a single impact.
It was a matter of course, and Heras knew that she had the power to touch her as long as the blood was still there.
"Then, it's my turn, beast. ”
Herass spread her hands, her long hair behind her fluttering without wind, her arms and hair wrapped in a crimson mana shell, and then shattered in an instant.
With her hands transformed into powerful dragon arms, her hair transformed into a long thorn tail, and her body flowed like burning blood, Herass was ready for everything.
Because of the existence of the blood spirit, Heras, who had strengthened her physical ability several times, came to the beast ghost five or six meters away with just a movement of her feet.
With a wave of her left hand, the dragon's claws struck at the beasts and ghosts that couldn't react at an extremely high speed.
However, Heras's dragon claws passed through the bodies of the two beast ghosts in front of him as if they were nothing.
There was no sensation of touching anything on her hands, no blood splattered, and her attack penetrated the phantom seed that existed between the void and the real, and did not cause any real damage.
However, she knew that she had succeeded in defeating the beast.
The beast ghost, which was hit by the dragon's claws, twisted like a painting, swayed like smoke, and finally dissipated completely after a fluctuation of fluctuations.
The beast ghost left no trace and completely disappeared from this world.
"As long as it exists, anything will be killed by blood. ”
Even if she didn't want to listen to it, the voice would still ring in Heras's heart.
She didn't pay much attention to Lin Yuan's words, and continued to burn blood on her body, attacking the next target.
"Heras, you don't draw power from blood, but you are strengthened in life, and the magical attribute you possess is 'killing' to be precise. ”
Hera swung the tail of the thorn dragon and swept past the beast ghosts who wanted to sneak attack from behind, and the power of the blood-colored aura eliminated the sneak attackers in an instant.
"The more life that dies at your hands, the stronger you become, which can also be said to be an alternative sacrifice. ”
Heras cleared the streets of the beasts and ghosts, carving a path for her own direction.
"Blood spirit is a special ability derived from killing, being able to defend against attacks is only an incidental effect, blood spirit is the power that can directly damage the soul, it seems that it should be your original magic ability, the power that has changed. ”
Heras concentrates on fighting in unison, there are too many beasts and ghosts here, because of the characteristics of the body's magic power, she has no way to make a magic power to release attacks, she can't destroy all the beasts and ghosts in one go, and she will deal with this amount with close combat alone, she will run out of her magic power first before destroying the other party.
Therefore, her goal is very clear, she must approach the huge cavern in the center of the city as soon as possible, destroy the basis for the manifestation of the beasts, and make all the beasts and ghosts disappear.
Beasts and ghosts do not exist in this world, they only rely on some kind of medium projection, which is why they linger in the ruined cities, not chasing the fleeing people, because they can't stay away from the caves, otherwise there is no way to manifest in this world.
Heras knew very well that if she destroyed the cave as a medium, it would be over.
"Ah, all the beasts are coming. ”
In the sky, Lin Yuan, who was sitting on the back of a flying dragon watching the battle, saw thousands of beasts and ghosts gathered together, preparing to attack Hera Si to prevent her from continuing to advance.
"Is it really okay not to have to help?"
Lily of the valley wanted to go down to the war several times, but was stopped by Lin Yuan.
"We're only going to get in the way, and if we have the power to hurt each other like Heras, we're just staring at each other. ”
Lily of the valley knew that what the other party said was very reasonable, but she was still a little worried about Heras, who was alone.
Herass took care of Lily of the Valley when she adapted to her new body, and although the other party looked indifferent, Lily of the Valley knew that she was actually a warm-hearted and good person.
Looking at the large number of beasts and ghosts that launched the charge, Lily of the Valley couldn't help but attack.
The silver magic rays shot out from Lily of the Valley's hands, accurately hitting the beasts and ghosts underground, but as Lin Yuan said, her attacks were completely useless.
The mana ray passed through the beast's body, not causing any damage, not eliminating the beast, but only destroying the rubble on the ground, not even stopping the beast's footsteps.
Lily of the valley gritted her teeth and stopped her useless attack.
"Don't worry, leave everything to Heras, she'll be fine. ”
Lin Yuan didn't have a trace of worry, and got an angry look from Lily of the Valley.
"Lin Yuan, if it's you, there is definitely a way to hurt those monsters, why don't you go down and help, so that it will be easier for Heras, and you can solve the matter here quickly!"
Lin Yuan shook his head heavily.
"Lily of the valley, it's not that simple. ”
Lin Yuan looked at the ground calmly, and now the beasts and ghosts began to impact Hera Silk together, and the figure of the long-haired girl was as thin and fragile as the leaves of the sea floating in the storm.
However, Lin Yuan was not worried, Heras's magic power was still sufficient, and as long as the blood was still burning, even strategic-level magic would not be able to hurt her in the slightest.
In fact, Heras resisted the attacks of the beasts and stood still, but she took the opportunity to destroy many of them.
"Lily of the valley, do you know? Every time the gate of the Netherworld appears, it means that there is a controller of the Netherworld behind it, and this kind of gate connecting the real and the illusory is not so easy to appear. ”
Lin Yuan's eyes were sharp as he looked at the towering cave.
"The only one who can create the gate of the Netherworld is the creator of the Netherworld, the former Dragon King and the Phoenix Elder, and the current Hades Dragon King and the Hades Phoenix King, and it takes a lot of time and effort to open a door every time. ”
Heras had successfully resisted the beast's charge, the burning aura on her body had dimmed a little, and she knew that she could not defend unilaterally, so she did not hesitate to head towards the central cavern.
"The Netherworld is an incomplete world, a half-plane without stability, and in order to prevent the Netherworld from collapsing casually, the two Hades will open the gate of the Netherworld every few hundred years to sneak attack their former compatriots, so as to facilitate their access to their power and use their lives to stabilize the existence of the Netherworld. ”
Lily of the valley frowned when she heard this, and she felt that things were starting to be a little unsimple.
"Hades will not be able to attack races that are not strong in magic, their targets have always been dragons and phoenixes, as well as beings with huge magical power like elves, it is absolutely impossible to attack humans, and the last time the gate of the Netherworld was opened, it has only been less than twenty years, how can it appear in a small city with only tens of thousands of people now. ”
Lily of the valley understood the meaning of the other party's words.
"You mean to ...... Has anyone mastered the way to open the gates of the Netherworld, and then come and test it in this place?"
Lin Yuan nodded slowly.
"Experiment, or rather, experiment, the gate of the netherworld will emerge a large number of phantom species, but at the moment there is only one kind of beast and ghost, no matter how you think about it, the most important thing is that there has just been a problem in the east, there is a monster that will release parasites, and then a day later, there is an accident in the west, if you want to say that the two have nothing to do with each other, I don't believe it. ”
When Lin Yuan was analyzing, the corners of his mouth were hooked up, as if he was enjoying the accident a little.
"We can't act rashly, we have to be careful of the other party's next move, maybe those who do the black hand are now hiding somewhere and watching everything, in short, there is nothing wrong with being careful. ”
Lily of the valley began to look around to prevent any further problems.
Lin Yuan also quietly took out the magic guide book in his body, preparing to create a new magic response when something unexpected happened.
In the ruined city, Heras shook off all the pursuing beasts and made her way to the cavern in the center.
Just as she was approaching, the towering cavern suddenly shook violently.
Seeing this, Heras immediately stopped, dodged and dodged into the side of the obstacle to avoid being attacked.
In the shock-like shock, a huge phantom seed rushed out of the deep dark cavern.
"Huh, that's ......."
Lin Yuan was a little surprised to see the Phantom Species fly into the air.
In the dim moonlight, Heras recognized the origin of the Phantom Seed.
"Nether Dragon!"
The Netherworld Dragon, the descendant of the Netherworld's ruler Hades Dragon King, is a middle-to-upper-rank Netherworld monster.
The Netherworld Dragon, whose whole body was dark, first looked at Lin Yuan in the air, and then slowly turned his head to look at Hera on the ground.
Seeing the emotionless dark dragon eyes, Heras knew that something was wrong.
The Netherworld Dragon stretched its wings and swooped down quietly.
