In the abyss of Anos, the overwhelming sea water was pouring down, looking around with the Time as the center. Apart from it, there was no fire of life burning within a few kilometers. The sky and the earth fell into darkness. Only thunder and thunder could tear open the dead silence.

In the surging tide, the bodies and flesh of sea beasts that were overturned and exposed, and the hot heat rose from the smelly sea water and turned into a red cloud with a hint of wail and screams came from the clouds, as if he was hell.

But the huge waves will eventually calm down.

The offensives of the sea beasts have been wiped out by the church's exploration team, and even the black dragon hidden behind the scenes has been killed by the soldiers with empty hands.

The battle came to an end for the time being. With Robzek's order issued, the white ark started again, and the engine buzzed, causing the huge hull to break through the waves.

Their destination was the sea area where Joshua and the Black Dragon fought last.

In the red clouds and mist, there were black giants floating with the waves. It could be seen that it was the body and head of a giant dragon. It could be seen that its limbs and tail were torn off due to huge brute force and were thrown in other places in this sea area without any concern.

And on this dragon body, the continuous sound of bone shattering sounded one after another.

Joshua walked with a serious expression. He stepped on the huge back of the black dragon. Every time he stepped, he shattered a large piece of keel bone on the soles of his feet. The black and red fighting spirit invaded, smoothing out all the magic runes engraved on the skeleton of the giant dragon.

In this way, the warrior walked step by step from the dragon's back to the dragon's neck. Wherever he passed, the huge magic power contained in the black dragon's body dissipated with the wind and turned into a blurred colorful light in the clouds and mist.

He came to the dragon's head, and Joshua stood between the horns of the dragon, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Don't pretend to be dead, Granti, I know you are still alive."

The black dragon did not respond to this sentence. Its eyes lost its luster. The dragon's eyes, which were originally as dazzling as amethyst, are now like two purple stones, completely losing the breath of life.

The huge and ferocious head was covered with scars. Its jaw seemed to be hit by a giant hammer and was completely beaten into a pool of minced meat. The tongue and the strong dragon teeth were incomplete. Black blood flowed out of the slightly opened dragon's mouth, dyeing a large area of ​​sea water.

From any perspective, it is dead

But Joshua didn't take this trick. His arm was shocked, and his right hand, which could divide gold and iron, inserted into the towering dragon horn beside him. Then the warrior pulled up with force without saying a word.

Snap!

A clear sound of breakage sounded, and the dragon horn, which was originally several meters high, broke with the sound, revealing the skull connected to it at the bottom. Joshua stepped hard again, and suddenly a large piece of flesh and bones flew out and fell into the sea.

A large black hole that directly penetrated the skull cavity appeared on the black dragon's head.

Seeing that Granti had not responded, the warrior couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He stretched out a finger to the black brain hole, and a black and red beam of Dou Qi appeared out of thin air. The beam directly pierced into the black dragon's skull cavity, as if he wanted to stir the brain into a pool of mud.

And at this moment, a layer of extremely thin magic mist appeared before the Dou Qi beam, barely blocking the warrior's attack.

"I know you're still alive."

Seeing this, Joshua stopped attacking and said calmly to the black mind: "I don't like nonsense. Next, I will ask you and answer. As long as I have a good attitude, obey orders, and be positive, I will not destroy your soul and hand you over to the Church of the Seven Gods."

“…Can I surrender?”

After a moment of silence, as the mental power shook, an old and helpless voice echoed in the heart of the warrior: "I said, I said, as long as I can save my life..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Shaking his head, Joshua pointed his right hand, and another black and red fighting spirit beam was completely unconscious. This time the black dragon had no energy to condense its few magical powers to block it. Suddenly, the mental power that was shaking in the warrior's mind immediately dissipated and it was slowly reunited after a long time.

In the brain, under the light of Dou Qi, you can see a gray worm-like thing shaking in the black dragon's skull cavity. It was stabbed by Dou Qi and is now curling up in pain. A rough look at it seemed to be the brain, but it can move alone, and even vaguely see a layer of fine black dragon scales on the complex wrinkles.

Dead Smoke Grandi had long transformed himself into a semi-necrotic creature, and his body was easily refined into various magical equipment by himself. This black dragon did not even let go of his own brain.

"The abyss reincarnation...but it is limited to the brain."

Looking at the disgusting brain that seemed to be abyss worms, Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly: "I began to wonder whether you were Granti or who had stolen Granti's abyss demon."

"Tell me." The warrior didn't care too much about this matter. He said condescendingly to the strange biomass group: "Why did you come to the Abyss of Anos? The Black Dragon Lord, who is extremely conscious and has extremely effective in war, did not siege the Holy Mountain, but instead came to stop the church's exploration team."

"... Because of the orders of the Presbyterian Church, I am good at suppressing a large scale, but I attack indiscriminately, which can easily hurt my friendly forces. Moreover, it is my job to eliminate negative energy in the Seven Gods Church, and I am severely restrained."

The black dragon learned his lesson this time, and it answered the soldiers' questions one by one, and it was very detailed: "The Abyss of Anos is related to the plan of the Presbyterian Church, and I was sent to cooperate with the other black dragon to guard it."

"What plan? Why stop us from going to the Central Vortex?"

"I don't know." The Black Dragon Spirit's transmission was very fast, as if afraid of the warrior's misunderstanding: "I joined the middle, and the mission was to cooperate with my companions. All plans were controlled by him alone, and he sent me and other sea beasts to stop you from approaching the Great Whirlpool. "

"Yeah."

As if he could easily distinguish the authenticity of the other party's words, Joshua didn't even hesitate and continued to ask: "Who is your companion? Why are there a family of famine evil gods among the sea beasts attacking this time?"

Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and the straight beam of Dou Qi directly penetrated into the black dragon's skull cavity. The Dou Qi broke through several layers of barriers mixed with invisibility, breath obscured, and other magical barriers. It locked a brain-shaped worm that was the size of a human head and was sneaking towards the bone crack in place. The black and red Dou Qi turned into flames, completely burning it to ashes.

In a vague manner, the murderous intent fluctuated, and a piece of soul fragment in the small worm was swallowed up, the black dragon's spirit dissipated again, and the huge brain-shaped worm in the skull cavity also began to spasm and curl up wildly. The warrior looked at all this coldly. After a long time, Granti slowly recovered.

"...you, can you actually eat my soul?!"

This time, the Black Dragon is really scared.

As a spellcaster, Granti's spiritual world is simply indestructible. Not to mention Joshua, a half-baked guy, even if the real abyss demon comes to commit various tortures, he may not be able to pry open his mouth. Coupled with the arrangements of the black dragon before, even if the soul is completely destroyed, there is still a glimmer of hope for rebirth.

The reason why he cooperated so much before was mainly because the Black Dragon wanted to delay time and find a way out for escape. Its modified brain can split itself and separate a sub-brain carrying soul fragments. This brain can grow itself and reborn as a complete "Dead Smoke Granti" after its ontology was destroyed.

The little worm containing its soul was discovered, and the only possibility that it could escape would disappear, but the most important thing was not this. The black dragon was shocked to discover that his soul fragment did not return to its original body, but completely disappeared, and was swallowed by the strange power in the fighter's fighting spirit.

Even Grandi cannot guarantee whether its soul can be reborn after being swallowed by this power.

"I said, don't talk nonsense, have a good attitude."

Joshua didn't care about the Black Dragon's attitude. He just warned: "Otherwise, next time, it's more than that."

Under the threat of soul annihilation far beyond death, Granti's attitude was indeed much more correct. It actively cooperated with the warriors' interrogation and gave a lot of information neatly.

"My companion is called Mandagar, the Dead Dragon. Its name is familiar to the older generation of Far South people."

The black dragon's mental fluctuations were much weaker, but the speed of transmitting information was three points faster than before: "Mandagar is one of my few friends. He almost died in the hands of a holy sword envoy in the far south. It was me who held a 'soul-suppressing ceremony' for it, fixing its soul that was about to dissipate on the dead body... But decades ago, it gradually disappeared from the sight of the same tribe, and even I didn't contact him much."

Speaking of this, a hint of confusion came from Grandi's tone: "What is that Famine God? Is the name of a certain lord of the abyss?"

Judging from the tone, it really doesn't know what the evil god of famine is.

This is normal. In fact, most people in this world do not know the name of the evil god. Only a few families guarding the sealed land, as well as the top leaders of the Seven Gods Church and major forces, know some of them. Although Grandi is a black dragon lord of the extreme level and has destroyed a small country, his understanding of the world outside of the Mycrov world is nothing more than "there are many worlds in the multiverse". For those ancient evils, he also knows the abyss at most.

It seemed that it had no idea that the desolate predator under its command was a family of the evil gods. Maybe it really thought it was some kind of strange demon, but in fact, the chaotic power of the evil god originated from nothingness is very different from the demonic power of the chaotic destruction.

"This...that's fine."

Nodding slightly, Joshua also understood that although Granti was strong, he did not enter the core circle of the Five Colored Dragon Clan Plan. He thought for a while, and then continued to ask indifferently: "Why did you stop us from going to the Central Vortex? What are your companions doing now?"

"Mandagar is currently holding a large magic ceremony and cannot be disturbed by anyone. It does not even ask me to help, but asks me to come and stop you."

The black dragon answered immediately the moment the warrior asked about the topic. It seemed that it had guessed that Joshua would ask this question: "Immediately, the central vortex will be hidden by the magic barrier, and Mandagar will continue to complete his ritual."

Without asking Joshua, he knew that Granti must have known nothing about the ceremony, but the Black Dragon had some speculations: "For some reason, Mandagar's body returned to youth and was full of vitality. I originally thought it had used the same magic as me to replace it with a body, but now it was a bit weird... Its ritual is also very strange. Its power is different from any lord in the abyss, but it also has an evil aura from ancient times..."

Speaking of this, it kindly reminded him: "After me, there are three monsters close to the extreme level that are coming to stop you. They are slower, but I have already felt their breath."

After listening, Joshua narrowed his eyes and almost finished the general information. At this moment, the red clouds and mists spreading in the surrounding sea slowly dissipated, and the white ark was also heading towards this direction.

After thinking about it, the warrior shook his head with some regret: "What a pity, Grandi, you didn't cooperate enough before and knew too little. I will destroy your soul instead of handing you over to the Church of the Seven Gods and let them deal with it."

When he said this, he was so arrogant that he did not hide anything from the Black Dragon: "You can resist or escape. As a reward for answering my questions, I will give you this opportunity and will not devour your soul."

The warrior disdained to break his previous promise, so he let Granti Shiwei let him see if this black dragon could surprise him.

Above the ark.

Everyone had discovered the huge corpse of the black dragon. The dragon claws still wrapped in a circle of magical light floated with the waves and were caught by the sailors of the ark.

Saya's extraordinary vision is best in this situation. She easily discovered the warrior standing on the dragon's head among the clouds and mists, and guided the ark in the direction of the way forward.

However, just as they slowed down and gradually approached Joshua, the red clouds and mist in the sky were dispersed by a majestic fighting spirit, and countless black and red flames spread out from Granti's incomplete dragon body and crushed it like crushing biscuits.

Countless burning fragments of dragon corpse drew dark red arcs in the air and then sank into the sea. At this time, Joshua also flew straight towards the direction where the ark was.

The warrior landed on the deck, and the big pit he had stepped out before was extremely conspicuous, and the black dragon girl rushed forward happily and threw herself into Qiao Xiuya's arms. She seemed to have habitually tried to stick out her tongue, but her head was held down by a big hand.

Joshua seriously stopped Hei's habitual intimate actions for no other reason, because the human form of the Black Dragon Girl will definitely spit out a dragon's breath as soon as she opens her mouth. Last time he was "scheming" like this, and the flesh on half of her chest was almost ripe.

The warrior responded one by one to everyone who came to inquire about his physical condition. Because the time was urgent, he did not explain in detail the process of killing Grandi and interrogating his soul. Everyone only knew that Joshua had experienced hard battles, killed the black dragon, and got some information from it.

"ceremony?"

Hearing this word, Loranda's eyes suddenly became sharp. He thought for a while, and then said to Joshua seriously: "Near the crack of the abyss, hold a ritual related to the evil god? What is Mandagar going to do? Will the evil god invade the abyss?"

The warrior slightly glanced at the blonde paladin who hated evil, but the warrior knew that this guy who looked sunny and handsome now fell into a human traitor who opened the gate of the abyss more than ten years in his previous life. Although it was just a rumor and the possibility was not great, at least there must be some connection.

Moreover, his question is really not impossible. In the past life, there was obviously more than one evil god's work. Just a few abyss lords and demon kings, they could not break the seal of the sage.

In response, Joshua patiently explained: "I don't know anything about these problems, nor do Granti knows. The only thing we can do now is to rush to the central vortex as soon as possible and kill the black dragon."

"Not bad." Robzek nodded in agreement, "Although we don't know the essence of the problem, if we destroy it, the problem will be solved naturally."

He now looks like Joshua, which makes Saya, who is standing beside him, sigh slightly.

Hill and Fina were not involved in the discussion, and they were not interested in these issues. The two of them whispered softly, not knowing what to say.

And just then.

In the sky covered by clouds, a huge rune floated on the clouds.

This rune is weird and distorted, revealing a blasphemy and depravity. It is so unique that everyone present discovered it at the first time.

After seeing this rune, many crew members immediately howled and knelt on the ground, covering their eyes, and the evil power stimulated their nerves through their sight.

The powerful people naturally would not have any adverse reactions, but their expressions were extremely serious. The power of chaos was contained behind this rune, which made everyone's heartbeat involuntarily faster.

It is obvious that an unknown ritual has begun, and the forces from another world are leaning against the cracks in the abyss, eroding part of the Abyss of Anos.

And in the sea not far away, three huge chaotic auras were approaching the ark.

"Don't fight with them."
To be continued...
