Chapter 605: Under the Blue Sky
The year 991 of the Arad calendar, spring.
About a year and four months ago, several human kingdoms of the Arad continent marched into the sky and the sea of clouds, and there was a great war with the Blue Truth Sect in the starry ocean.
At the end of this fierce war, humanity defeated the Mind Flayer and successfully entered the sea of clouds in the sky, becoming one of the dominant ones.
It's just that at the same time, at the same time as the end of this war, an abnormal event that changed the pattern of the entire continent also happened at the same time.
"Sword of Victory and Protection" Midi Asrex.
"Queen of Magic Bullets" Fina Hamilton.
"The Witch of the Mist" Alice Outloboth.
These three legendary figures from the Arad continent, the commander of the Falcon Regiment, and the ruler of the Belmar Kingdom, all disappeared at the same time in this battle!
Although Midi's last letter made Reinhardt, the fourth prince of the Delos Empire, the new successor of the "Falcon Regiment", the disappearance of the three of them still caused an uproar.
To this day, the impact of the disappearance of these three people continues to make the situation in the entire Arad continent continue to change and turmoil.
However, for one of the initiators, it is probably now that the beginning of understanding this effect and correcting it will begin.
"It's been six months since that day, right?"
The black-haired and black-eyed human youth raised his head, squinted at the familiar but unfamiliar sun overhead, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The young human was dressed in a shabby black cloak, and underneath the cloak was a set of armor that looked like it had been patchwork.
And on his back, he carried a great sword with cracks and chips on the surface.
At first glance, it looks like an extremely common down-and-out professional in the Arad continent.
However, if those top historians were here, they would definitely be shocked to find that every piece of equipment and every piece of jewelry from top to bottom of this human youth was actually the kind of ancient demon realm ten thousand years ago!
Not only that, but these seemingly tattered equipment contain unimaginably powerful magic.
And if a true powerhouse above level 71 with the power of the realm is here, it will not be shock, but awe and fear.
Because in their eyes, this human young man with a lazy look, walking in the sun like a walk, is impossible to see through at all.
His strength can only be described as unfathomable.
This young man of mankind is, naturally, none other than Midi Asrex.
Half a year ago, in the winter of 990 in the Arad calendar, Midi Asrex took the initiative to activate the "Death Hunt Order", and at the first time, killed the first demon who came to hunt down, the Demon Count, and the first Grand Lord of the Demon Realm, Degopez.
But that's just the beginning.
Over the next six months, countless demons flocked from the Demon Realm in order to be rewarded by the Second Apostle, Tear-Eyed Herder, one by one, trying to hunt down Midi's head.
It's just that these fierce hunters were all hunted by Midi as prey in the end.
At only level 71, the reason why Midi, who had just awakened the power of the realm, was able to exterminate the incoming offenders was mainly based on a number of different factors.
For example, the aid from Fina and Alice brought by "Bonds of Fate".
For example, his contract demon "Sword Demon" Agareth is familiar with and understands the demon world.
For example, the "Glow Domain" has an extremely domineering dual attack attribute, and a complete defense against the erosion of the power of other realms.
Of course, there is also the factor of the battlefield itself.
The Dragon Battlefield, which is the home chosen by the Wisdom Dragon for Midi, is a separate space where the army of the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar and the army of the Demon Realm fought the last battle 10,000 years ago.
Among the ruins of this battlefield are the legacies of many powerful men - albeit mutilated - and equipment, and of course, because tens of thousands of years have passed, so many regions are even full of various insights and opportunities.
It was in such a land that Midi successfully persevered for six months, and the opponents who would commit future crimes, from those lower-ranking demons who wanted to try their luck at level 71, to the peak of level 75, were as powerful as the high-ranking demons of De Gopez, and they were killed one by one.
Not only that, but in the process, he himself has been baptized by guò battles, constantly getting stronger, and then getting stronger!
In the end, although Midi had never been to the Demon Realm, his fame had spread directly among the Demon Realm.
"Demon Hunter", "Demon Slayer", "Death Hunter", "Ghost of the Dragon Battlefield", these are the titles that the demons have bestowed on Midi.
And this series of achievements also directly led to the "death pursuit order" in the later stage, and no one even dared to respond, because once it was teleported, it was not so much to hunt Midi as to send him to death.
It is said that various gambling games were held in the areas controlled by the other Apostles, betting on how many demons Midi could kill and whether Midi would become the first person ever to break the Apostolic Death Chase Order.
At this point, in the fifth-layer abyss of the Demon Realm, even the always calm "tear-eyed" Helde couldn't sit still.
Of course, it is impossible for this supreme powerhouse to take action personally, first, it is too embarrassing, and in addition, it is impossible for her to expose her flaws to the other apostles.
But in order to protect his reputation, Herder brazenly sent a capable general to hunt down.
"Since it's the death chase order that I made, it's up to me to complete the death chase. ”
That's what "Teary-Eyed" Herder said at the time.
Either this apostle will not make a move, and once he does, he will directly send out a real powerhouse who has awakened for the second time!
The battle was undoubtedly one of the toughest battles ever fought for Midi, and the fierce battle between the two sides lasted for a whole month.
And in the end, Midi finally succeeded in defeating the Second Apostle's men.
Not only that, but he even broke through to level 76 directly because of this!
Instead of relying on the power of the "Fetters of Fate", he broke through to level 76 with his own strength!
In other words, after half a year of endless battles with powerful demons, and after finally killing a second-awakened "Demon Marquis", Midi himself finally became a second-awakened person.
In the year 991 of the Arad calendar, this means that he has stood at the height of the peak of the combat power of the entire Arad continent.
Of course, on the continent today, there are not one or two hidden powerhouses.
For example, in the Kingdom of Belmar, the iron-blooded Grand Duke Heydrich Hamilton of the Hamilton family, he has long been a strong man of the second awakening.
There is also the emperor of the Delos Empire, the "Sword Emperor" Yu Lun, whose strength is even higher than that of the iron-blooded Grand Duke.
However, these hidden powerhouses are not really "second awakenings", because the current environment of the surface world of the Arad continent is simply unable to do this.
Their second awakening is nothing more than a "pseudo-second awakening", not a secondary sublimation of the physical body in the true sense, but only a forcible stimulation of the potential in the body in order to break through the boundary of level 75.
In doing so, they have to pay a huge price while reaching the peak of their strength and being proud of the whole continent.
Such as longevity, such as physique, and so on.
It can be said that the iron-blooded Duke and the Sword Emperor, who are also the second awakening, have no chance of winning at all when they meet the true Erjue's Midi.
Not to mention, today's Midi still has such a domineering realm as the "Glow Domain".
However, after Midi became a powerhouse of Erjue, he did not come back here to be powerful or to unify the Arad continent.
His goal is simple, to find Fina and Alice.
In the process of cracking the death chase order for half a year, the "Bond of Fate" was activated more than once.
Although the three of them could not communicate with each other in the true sense, and could only pass on the power of the realm to help Midi, this power alone was enough for Midi to deduce a lot of information.
While it wasn't clear where Fina and Alice were teleported to or what kind of trials they underwent during their fateful decision, Midi was certain that they should be in the Celestial Realm, at least for now.
And the "Dragon Battlefield" where he is located can be said to be located in the narrow space between the Demon Realm and the Dark Realm, and the distance between it and the Heavenly Realm is more than one dimensional space.
Therefore, Midi's only choice is to try to set up a teleportation array on the "Dragon Battlefield" after ending the death chase order, and then return to the Arad continent first, and then make plans.
At this moment, his feet were on the surface, and above him was a clear blue sky.
The familiar sun shone warmly, and Midi's nerves, which had been tense until now, could not help but feel a sense of relaxation.
"Hmph, it's really an environment that makes people relax their vigilance, living in such a world, it's no wonder that humans will become the weakest race in the world of Arad!"
On the side, a mocking voice sounded faintly.
It was none other than "Sword Demon" Agares.
This genius from the third layer of the Demon Realm and Midi experienced half a year of hellish battles together, and with Midi's help, they also managed to survive.
Naturally, although his level is not as direct as Midi's second awakening, it can also be said that he has made a leap.
The current Agareth is already a powerhouse at the peak of level 75, and he is not inferior to the demon lord Degopez.
"Can't you get used to this kind of casual pastoral life?" Midi smiled, already disapproving of Agares's habitual taunts, "You were asked to go back with the heart of the dead soul to deal with the Fourth Apostle, and you didn't want to. ”
"I'm tired of smelling the sulfur smell of the Demon Realm, although I'm not used to looking at stupid and weak humans, but, after all, you are my contractor, and you have risen quickly with your words, so there is no need to go back. As for the heart of the revenant, borrowing for a year is a loan, and borrowing for a hundred years is also a loan, and Lord Casillas and Lord Luke don't care about this trivial matter. ”
Agareth shrugged his shoulders, pursed his lips again, and retorted at length.
"Well, in this way, you will become the first demon to step into the heavenly realm after the invasion of the Tyrannosaurus King Bakar. ”
Midi smiled.
With such a level 75 peak helper by his side, he naturally had no intention of refusing.
Moreover, the two have also rescued each other several times in the past six months, and if you want to talk about friendship, it is far from being comparable to the simple "entourage contract" at the beginning, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a comrade-in-arms.
"So, how do you get to the Heavenly Realm? As far as I know, the Heavenly Realm is now completely closed, and it is even more sealed than the Demon Realm, can you find the entrance to enter?"
Agareth asked the most direct question.
"Well, I'm afraid it's going to take a little effort, but it's not impossible, anyway, let's go back to my hometown and have a look. ”
Midi replied, then cast her gaze on the distant horizon.
That was the direction in which the Kingdom of Belmar was located.
PS: A new chapter begins! In addition, I asked for a monthly pass in the middle of the month!
