Chapter 60: Honkai's Helia (Tuesday recommended PK, beg to follow!) )
Through the spiritual perception of the increase of the transcendent fragments, Josh could easily see that the current body of Foyego was just an empty shell, and the soul had already merged into Mu Qing.
As Lunicia said, even with the World Rune, Josh has no insight into how long it will take for Foyego to end this "locked" state.
The power of the King's Sword forged by the Astral Matter is amazing, and Josh is not injured for the time being, he can only exert transcendent power, and a world rune fragment is only comparable to Foyego.
Moreover, he still had Isold's body in his arms, and he did not devote himself to the battle to the fullest.
Clouds of mana accumulated in the firmament boiled with thunder, arcane pulses fell like torrential rain, and the target locked onto Foyego.
However, Thunderbolt's thunderbolt punishment could not break through the barrier held up by Mu Qing.
Even the scorching string of arcane magic balls thrown by Josh's hand were all bounced off by the silver-white sky light ping-pong, like meteors falling in all directions, stirring up dazzling flames.
The earth overturned, and houses collapsed.
It took decades to build and thousands of years of ancient city to collapse in just a few minutes.
However, even though he had been under magical attacks, because of the protection of the King's Sword, Foyego's attention was not on Josh's side at all.
Holding Isolde with one hand, the slender Mu Qing giant sword was clenched without Foyego's backhand, and the sharp and cold blade dragged on the ground, and the surface of the ground that was already cracked in the shape of a spider's web was torn apart, revealing a deep crack leading to the ground.
Mu Qing's magic Tofu Yego was like standing on a transparent elevator, slowly descending into the pitch-black hammer stone prison that was like an endless purgatory.
[Try to detonate the arcane energy around him!] The energy stored in that sword is no better than that of the world runes, and without the supply of mana, it should not have such power. 】
Lunicia reminded her loudly, and Josh did immediately.
With the blessing of transcendent power, Josh didn't need to chant spells or draw arcane runes at all, just a thought, and countless arcane energy swirling in the air quickly accumulated beneath Foyego.
The next moment, the unstable energy exceeded the critical point, and a blue-purple magical shockwave instantly exploded several meters away from Foyego's feet, emitting a deafening scream.
As Josh wants to create a large area of demon-free areas, through the blessing of transcendence, the power of the arcane energy explosion causes an earthquake.
The hollowed-out structure of the city is full of shortcomings at this time.
Even though the city had been built with the problem of earthquakes in mind, the explosion of runic magic was far from the movement of the earth's crust, and the entire land of Helia trembled.
There was no longer a complete area around the Scholar's Avenue, and even the door of teaching, which was hundreds of meters away, had collapsed, and even most of the square behind it had been affected and collapsed downward.
Callista, who had been running towards the Tower of Light as early as Josh and Foyego when he was fighting, had just arrived at the door, and looked back in horror to see the blue light that flashed over the city again, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Mu Qing ...... Is it so powerful? Callista muttered, worried about Josh's safety.
In the afternoon, Josh disappeared for a while, and when he returned, he only said that he had gone to the Hammerstone Prison to obtain some magic items, and did not mention the world runes.
However, when they felt the movement, the elders of Margusa who ran out of the Shining Light Tower were shocked.
"This magic...... Is it the World Rune? ”
Master Gula of the Metaphysical Sect's face changed suddenly, and immediately looked at Margusa, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you give Josh the Keystone?!" ”
The two keystones at the gate of the Wanzai Well are almost the "master keys" used by the entire Hailia, and with only one piece, any rune lock in the Hammerstone Prison Treasury can be opened.
And the elders' treasury where the world runes are sealed can only be opened by the Ten Thousand Zen Well Keystone.
One of them, inherited by the archbishop and kept in close custody of Margusa, was lost a hundred years ago with the disappearance of Elder Holden.
Elder Gula questioned that Margusa was justified, after all, Josh was an apprentice adopted by Tyrus for 10 years, and Margusa was a beloved apprentice.
"Nonsense! As an archbishop, I should lead by example and follow the canons of the Cult of the Light, how can I hand over the Keystone to others?! ”
Margusa pulled out a pendant from inside his robe, which was one of the keystones of the Ten Thousand Dead Well.
“…… Could it be that the kid found another keystone? ”
Master Wadsworth of the astrology school stepped forward with his white beard, his dark face wrinkled, and a suspicious expression appeared, guessing.
Bartek shook his hands and lamented, "What a fool! How could he use such a dangerous object! This could well put us in a situation from which we will never recover! ”
"It's too late to say anything, King Kamavia's King's Blade is against the ......runes of the upper world," the other elder sighed with tears in his eyes, "Thousands of years of inheritance, is it going to be cut off from our hands?" ”
At this time, Callista, who heard their argument, ran up to Malgusa, quickly relieved her rapid breath, and asked, "What is the World Rune?" ”
The elders looked at each other, and no one was willing to deal with the royal princess who belonged to the invader country, even if her actions had already made her stand clear.
Margusa sighed, "It's a long story...... But all you need to know is that the water of life is created by a fragment of the world's runes. ”
Callista's eyes widened, "You said that the power to create the water of life is extremely unstable......
"Yes." "How dry will a forest be if it goes without rain for many years?" What happens if this forest is struck by lightning? ”
Callista had already conceived in her mind the picture that Margusa had described.
"The situation is that the whole dry forest is constantly being struck by lightning and some areas are already on fire...... It was only a matter of time before the entire forest burned to ashes. ”
Margusa gasped, "Helia is the forest, and Josh, who wields the world's rune magic, is the thundercloud that continues to rain lightning. ”
"Josh, isn't he trying to protect Helia? He won't ......"
Callista's voice was interrupted by Bartek: "Even if that guy has the power of the Darkborn, it is impossible to resist the erosion of the world's runes!" It was a forbidden power that even the former Ascension Empire forbade to wield! ”
Calista was silent for a moment, then looked away at the ruined square, and finally focused on the collapsed pillars of the Gate of Revelation.
The glow of the magic explosion below faded, and there were no new battle sounds for the time being.
Callista's heart was already in her throat, and her sweaty right hand grasped the spear, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
Is the battle over?
Who won?!
"By the way, what about Ruiz and your companions?" A flash of sadness flashed in Margusa's eyes, as if he had misunderstood something.
"Don't worry, Lydros went to Hecarim, and he let Reze take the battle for himself." Callista explained.
Margusa nodded, "There are many knights in the Iron Order, Hecarim as a grandmaster is naturally superior, and Ruiz is an apprentice, are you sure your companion can compete with it?" ”
Callista's face was melancholy.
Marcusa tapped her on the shoulder twice, "Go help them, Callista." ”
……
……
Near Scholars Boulevard.
The mess of rubble was swallowed up by the annihilated energy, but the matter affected by the magic did not heat up, only the green smoke billowed and the pungent smell was unpleasant.
Josh extracted miles of magical primordial essence and compressed it to detonate, creating a large area without demons.
And he himself is not affected by the lack of magic in the environment due to the energy supply of the world rune itself.
However, in order to activate the power of the second world rune fragment, Josh deliberately let go of some of the magic barrier's defenses, causing the shockwave of the arcane blast to shatter his internal organs.
I felt that my condition had not slipped due to the moderate injury, but had improved a lot.
Any battle, when the strength of both sides reaches a certain level, will eventually evolve into more effective hand-to-hand combat, even for the gods.
Although the energy stored in the world runes far exceeded that of the King's Sword, it was undoubtedly an advantage to narrow oneself by casting spells as unrestrainedly as Fang Cai.
【Feel free to use me!】 The Dance of Death is made from Fallen Star Iron, and it won't be much worse than the Soul Eater Blade! 】
Hearing this, Josh gripped the hilt of Deathdance's knife in his right hand, attaching a layer of arcane energy to it.
Then, his mind controlled the magic around him, and in a matter of seconds, he crossed hundreds of meters and flew towards Foyego, who had fallen to the ground and was covered by rubble, but his breath was still there.
Sensing that the crisis was coming, Mu Qing's magic scattered the stone pillars, much weaker than before Josh caused the arcane magic explosion.
The gray-clad Foyego got up and looked down at the equally embarrassed Isolde, and couldn't help but be furious.
"Untouchables, have provoked this king several times, if you really become this king, then you can't help it?!"
Mu Qingping raised Mu Qing, and the blade of the dance of death came in an instant.
Between the swords and shadows, the silver light collided with the power of corruption.
If it weren't for the diametrically opposite expressions and the power exerted on both sides, at first glance, it would seem that Foyego is the brave man who is jealous and hateful, killing the darkness, and Josh is the villain who does all kinds of evil.
Mu Qing's strength was greatly weakened, and Josh used the injured state to stimulate the effect of perseverance, and the gap between the two sides was undoubtedly revealed.
Holding Isolde in his arms, Foyego was knocked out by Josh's unrivaled might, shattering the already crumbling stone walls one after another, and being buried by the falling boulders.
Josh's blue eyes saw everything, and through the shadows and obstacles, he noticed the frenzied smile on the corner of Foyego's mouth.
"Untouchables are always untouchables, how can they compare to the wisdom of kings?! This is where I really want to go! ”
"Huh?!"
It's obviously a long way from the Wanzai Well here! What did Foyego say he was coming here?
Josh was suddenly startled, his eyes looking into the ground, and he was immediately shocked.
Foyego actually used Mu Qing's power to dig a hollow passage in the ground and lead the tributaries of the water of life over!
At this moment, sensing Foyego's movements, Lunithia shouted: "Stop him! 】
But just as she spoke, Mu Qing once again exploded with terrifying energy, and the shockwave that pierced through the heavenly spirit shattered a large area, clearing an empty underground space in an instant.
Immediately afterward, a large boulder sits between them, and another part smashes into Josh.
It didn't help, but it was enough to delay Josh's actions briefly, which was enough for Foyego.
"Hahaha...... Like I said, no one can stop me from healing my queen! ”
Laughing, Foyego dug a hole like the mouth of a well, held Isolde's body, and fell into the water of life that poured from below.
