Chapter 38 Stupidity and Madness
What kind of character is Joshua for his friends and companions?
There may be hundreds of different answers to questions, but there is no doubt that these answers have one thing in common, that is, they are reassuring.
Whether it is the weapon's grumbling with resentment or the leadership's praise with a little fear, behind the surface complaints, there is an incomparable peace of mind. Joshua's existence is like a mountain. As long as it exists, there is no need to worry about the arrival of the storm. He seems to be high, but in fact he is full of warmth. No one can hear any rumors about the lord. This is not only because of the lord's own strength, but also because he does not have any black spots.
As a friend and comrade-in-arms, Joshua's reliability is not necessary. He advocates order, adheres to his duties, and does not make promises lightly, but he will definitely do it if he says it. It is indeed the most reassuring thing to have such people fighting side by side.
So, what kind of existence does Joshua exist to the enemy?
There is only one answer: Monster.
Strongly straightening his body, Helm did not retreat or curl up. It looked up at the unscathed steel giant in the sky, with lines of light flashing like runes on its body.
Any other answers can there be? Anyone who stands opposite the warrior will silently agree with this answer: the nearly indestructible body of steel, the incredible mountain moving power is comparable to the regeneration speed of an immortal monster, and is enough to destroy the normal attack of urban mountains... Even in long-range combat, Joshua can use fist wind, nuclear fusing flame and other means to attack, not to mention the close-range mutual attack with him, this is the worst choice.
Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about the recent existence that fought close to him, Saruka. The Demon Lord is not a weak person. The insect demon who is proficient in various changes has many forms and different combat styles that make everyone feel difficult. But even if it is, when choosing to fight against Joshua, it can only be completely crushed, and there is no power to fight back. Now Saruka’s ignited body is still falling towards the bottom of the world where the blood moon abyss cannot be seen. It was just a fight, and its bones were shattered and its body was completely distorted and deformed.
But is Joshua really invincible? Helm doesn't think so. The Snake Eye Demon is very sure of this. Even though his combat style and attack methods are restrained by warriors from beginning to end, he doesn't think that the steel giant is invincible in the world.
Joshua has weaknesses and can be destroyed. The effect of the Black Dragon King Ke'ano's attack is evident. Saruka's surprise attack can also break through a layer of armor. Although the steel giant seems indestructible, it can still be destroyed. His mutual attack with the Dragon King dismantled himself and the other party, which has exposed the various fragility of his body structure. Helm has completely recorded them.
But it is not strong enough.
The Iron Giant is quick to react in a short distance, but it is difficult to dodge due to its large self-weight in the medium and long distances. The fluctuations of gravity transmitted by the speed of light also make it difficult for him to raid. Saruka's attack on Joshuya was not intentionally taking a counterattack, but he really could not dodge, so he launched a defensive counterattack... In terms of simple speed, the Giant does have weaknesses.
But the demon is not strong enough.
The warrior currently seems to have no resistance to special categories of attacks. He does have an unparalleled adaptability to the usual energy and physical attacks, but is it the same for special seals, curses and mental strikes? To defeat such an invincible giant god on the battlefield, you may not have to face the enemy head-on. You only need to retreat back to the abyss and plan a large soul sacrifice curse to weaken the opponent, making it difficult for him to fight.
But Helm is not strong enough.
Yes, not strong enough.
Helm saw the fragile structure in Joshua's body. He analyzed that the warrior was not agile enough. He guessed that the steel giant was not resistant to certain special attacks... But so what? It could not use these obvious flaws at all! The giant snake was anxiously biting sharp teeth. Compared to single-on-single strong men fighting, Helm was better at suppressing the whole world with his own strength. Its attack was enough to trap half of the continent into scorched earth, but it was useless to some strong men. It saw through everything, but could not attack the opponent's weakness, could not even use the opponent's flaws, and did not even have the chance to attack from the enemy's weakness. Because the warrior was facing it, Helm had no chance.
In the sky, Joshua had roughly dissipated heat. He began to walk towards the giant snake. His speed was not fast, but the pressure was comparable to the entire sky and turned into a vast ocean. He was moving forward and no one could stop it.
The blazing wind slapped the body of the giant snake, causing the energy patterns flashing on the surface of the demon king to buzz. Helm watched Joshua walking in the flames. The closed snake pupils on its body began to open gradually. Each snake pupil began to flash with different lights. The dim, bright, hot, cold, full of vitality, and ignorance and silence... Different lights among millions began to surge around the giant snake, making it seem like it became a light aggregate
"Golia, the Lord of the Abyss."
Helm used his ancient demonic words to illuminate the surrounding atmosphere, and the rolling heat flow echoed around.
"I am not afraid of life and death in battle, nor of pain and torture. I am willing to work for our clan, and there will be no peace. Even if I sink into eternal disaster, I will only fear one thing: the hope of our clan has cut off my hand and there is no future to speak of."
Helm recalled the scene when he was defeated by Goliath. It was defeated by the other party simply, but it was not killed as in the past devil wars, but was left with a life. At that time, the gluttonous demon, who was not the devil's king, did not even look at the defeated general, but what it said did not make the eye demon angry, but instead made it willingly become the other party's subordinate.
"The Sixth Abyss is too small, Helm, I will conquer other worlds and seize everything I want from their hands, whether it is flame, soul or hope for the revival of the Sixth Abyss, I will not let it go."
"It is not because I am kind to save your life. There are thousands of people in the world. I can't take action personally every time. I need a subordinate who charges for me, and you are just right."
The former demon king stepped on the head of the giant snake into the soil. It stepped on Helm's head and said this. Goliath's tone was bad, and every move showed his contempt for Helm, but this was the right of the winner to take the loser in the demon battle, but that hope made Helm, who was waiting for death in the soil, stunned.
Hope? How beautiful, what an incredible thing, when will the demon need this thing, and when will it have it? This stupid demon defeated itself well, but it really feels that it can recover the abyss? It's too stupid and too crazy.
Hey, funny guy.
In the sky, Joshua was still walking slowly. He could see that the joints of the steel giant were still red. Although Helm's star flame did not cause obvious damage to the warrior, it could indeed slow down his movements. The Demon Lord discovered this, but it still could not find any possibility of defeating the opponent.
Yes, it has no chance. According to estimates, it has no chance of winning by one in billions. Instead of expecting it to fight alone to defeat this steel giant, it is better to expect the Black Dragon King to be resurrected from the dead and Saruka’s injury healed. It is almost the same for the three of them to join forces to siege.
However, not everything needs to have a chance to act.
Joshua walked faster and faster, the influence of Stars on him became weaker, and the light on Helm's body became brighter and brighter. Thousands of different categories, different attributes, and different qualities gathered on the giant snake. It suddenly hovered itself into a huge circle. The Demon Lord gave up his snake-like flesh form, but completely turned his legendary body into a simple circular energy structure. Countless light spots of different colors began to move in this circular energy structure. Their speed continued to accelerate. After a few seconds, they turned into rapid rotation of light flows, making Helm an energy circle with uncertain light. The space was shattered by this circle, and the fragments of the world were shocked and fell around it, like colorful crystals scattered.
There is nothing else to do.
The next moment, the stream of light transformed by Helm suddenly rose into the air and rushed towards Joshua in surprise eyes. It had transformed into light, a pure energy aggregate, its speed was the speed of light, and nothing could stop it.
Even if it is a battle of defeat, Helm still has to take the initiative to fight for an almost zero chance of victory.
This is the devil's "stupidity" and "crazy".
The aura formed by the demon king rotated rapidly and moved forward at the speed of light. It shone with dazzling light, illuminating half of the blood moon abyss. Countless colors merged into white at this time, but this white was not pure and warm white, but the hot and chaotic white, and it pounced on Joshua, as if it wanted to hit head-on.
It is about to succeed, everything happens in 16.67 microseconds, which is the time when light spans five kilometers, which is the distance between Helm and Joshua. In such a short time, no creature can react, and this is a must-have blow.
But four hands stretched out, and the silver light flashed gently, and an invisible barrier blocked the rushing halo and Joshua.
The light was shining, and the entire Blood Moon Abyss seemed to be illuminated. For a moment, the light released by the Blood Moon was obscured, but Helm was not shocked by this scene. It had not yet reacted and was blocked.
The warrior stared at the halo formed by Helm in front of him. The time was too short, and he didn't understand what the other party was planning to do. However, if a legendary strong man gave up his own form, he would not be underestimated. Therefore, Qiao Xiuya used the most cautious defense to resist the other party. The power of steel condensed into countless crystals with absolutely smooth surfaces. No matter any light or any energy enters the cloud-like barrier formed by this crystal, it will be refracted and offset, and it is impossible to cause any damage to him.
The reason why he could react was not that the warrior's reaction speed exceeded the speed of light, but that after he was ready to defeat Pope Igel in the competition, Joshua kept thinking about how to fight against this incarnation of light. Although he had not yet figured out how to fight against such an incredible ability as a change in the speed of light, he had all thought of corresponding countermeasures for other ordinary attacks. Helm's star flame happened to be in it, and the impact of this incarnation halo was no exception.
At the moment when the other party incarnated into the halo, Joshua directly set up a defense without thinking. This was not instinct, but a predicted answer obtained by rich experience. He noticed and saw through every move of the Demon Lord, just as he did now.
“Have courage.”
He exclaimed in a low voice, for courage, Joshua had no intention of nonsense. The silver flame light lit up on his arm and continued to accelerate, forming a terrifying chain saw light stream. The warrior appreciated Helm's decisive attack, but he did not intend to understand the other party's intentions. Joshua condensed the power of steel and the mass wave that was enough to break the mountain. He wanted to directly cut off the body of the demon king's still accelerating light stream, completely cutting off all hopes and possibilities of the other party.
But suddenly, a dull star lit up at the bottom of the dark and silent abyss.
The Blood Moon Abyss is a world of destruction. Before it was destroyed, the entire continent was floating in the air. Even the falling rocks would float in the sky and then be absorbed by other islands. One empty island after another breeds thousands of unique races and civilizations, but no matter what race or civilization, they all have great awe of the bottom of the world.
They said that it was the end of the return of all things, they said that it was the dark and bottomless abyss, no one had gone there, no one knew whether it had an end. But now, a dim star rose rapidly from the abyss, and it rose vertically, with a gray column of light. This column of light penetrated all the darkness, dyeing the dark and dark world with a hint of color. It was like a sharp sword, exuding an incomparable momentum. At this moment, even Joshua could not help but be a little distracted, but Helm did not take advantage of this opportunity to attack. It was impossible to do it. It was actually attracted by the spot of light.
The next moment, they all knew what the light spot was.
That is the demon Sarukka, the demon king.
"Hiss!!"
As he rose rapidly, an inhuman roar was emitted from his mouth. Saruka's body had basically been regenerated. It had transformed into another smooth biological form. At this time, it was flying rapidly above the sky. The sound was thrown behind it. The air burned and burst into thunder. It was seriously injured, but it was not powerless to fight. The insect demon eagerly longed to return to the battlefield.
The ‘star’ magnified rapidly. It hit Joshua and was not a warrior who could not react. At this time, he was fighting with Helm with all his might. How could he share his strength to deal with Saruka? All this happened in a thousandth of a second. Only seeing the continuous rotation of light finally broke through Joshua's barrier and hit the opponent's chest. The worm and demon king who hit the warrior directly behind the warrior also turned into a strange form like an octopus, tightly binding the four arms of the steel giant, preventing him from launching a counterattack.
One hundred thousandth of a second later.
