"Just open the way—"
"boom!"
Before Ember's words could completely fall, they were covered by the deafening sound of gravel.
The huge impact reverberated through the mountains, and countless rolling stones rolled down from higher places.
When the smoke cleared, Ember still maintained his punching stance. A big hole had long been opened in the towering mountains in front of him.
After the big hole, there is a dark space. It turns out that this mountain peak is really like a chimney, with a hollow center.
Mount Sugamei is big enough, and the space inside it is open enough. But no one was worried about getting lost at all - because the violent thunder in the distance pointed the way for them.
"What...what is this? Why are there monsters at the festival?"
Aru was almost unilaterally pulled over by Ember, but he didn't care so much anymore. Because a monster he had never seen before appeared in front of him.
The monster's body is deep purple, and it has no arms or legs. Only the flying wings on both sides of its body and the huge single eye in the center of its head show that it "may" be a biological creature.
The sound of thunder appears, which is the regret that the thunderbirds gathered thousands of years later.
"Monster? You can say that, right? Do you want to listen carefully to what it is saying?" After hearing Aru's words, Yi Jin nodded slightly.
A collection of resentments, it would not be wrong to call it a monster.
Aru heard the words and listened attentively. Soon, a weak yet furious voice reached his ears.
"Aru...how dare you take Aru..."
"...Aru's song..."
"Why……"
The furious voice seemed to be made unconsciously by the monster, and its voice did not match its movements at all.
For example, it was talking about Aru, but now it discharged electricity towards Aru.
"Kappachili..."
The lightning that was coming quickly failed to enter Aru's field of vision. Now all he could think of was the sound just now, and there was no room for anything else.
"It's not! It's just resentment before death!"
The water rippled, and the young master held two swords in his hands, blocking the incoming lightning.
"Even if you want to sing, you have to sing where your greatest resentment is. Such a little guy is not worth your thousands of years of waiting!" Ember also stood in front of Aru.
"Why……"
Lei Yinquan is still mumbling to himself, but the attacks in his hands never stop.
"There is no reason. This is just the bitter fruit of arrogance."
Different from Aru's inner regret and waiting, Yi Yan felt that those who were offered as sacrifices and those who couldn't be hit by eight poles but were still struck to death by lightning were the real regrets.
Aru and Thunderbird can still express their wishes and regrets to everyone in the world, but those people can't.
In his opinion, even the most ordinary wish shines brighter than the brightest stars in the sky.
"Be more careful in your next life. Don't always like to fly over other people's heads, otherwise it will be funny if you can't stand the fall!"
"Aru will sing for you, but not here, so be quiet!"
The bright purple color of the sky dissipated, replaced by countless twinkling stars.
The galaxies of the distant universe seem to have crossed infinite distances and descended on this mountain peak.
The oldest source of magic discovered by ancient stargazers of the past. One of the "legendary magics".
Summons a dark nebula in the sky. Within a certain period of time, a majestic rain of stars fell. It can be cast while walking, and its power can be increased by accumulating energy.
It is said that this is the starting point of pyroxene magic──
The origins glimpsed by stargazers became reality, and star amber fell on this land.
The stars in the dark night sky fell like a waterfall, denser and more shining than thunderstorms.
The stars, which had shrunk countless times, fell to the ground, splashing amber fragments in all directions. The debris reflects the starlight above, making the entire space look like the center of the most shining galaxy.
In the starlight that was so bright that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes, any noisy sound disappeared, leaving only the crisp crackling sound of amber stars still echoing.
"Is there something wrong with me reciting the incantation? Or is there something wrong with the staff?"
The scenery in front of him was indeed magnificent, but Ember was more concerned about the power of magic. And what can I say about the power of the Star Rain in front of me...it's a bit fancy but useless.
After all, it is a legendary magic. Not to mention any strange phenomena in the world, it should be no problem at least lifting this mountain away, right?
But let alone flying mountains, the damage caused by the Star Rain was not even as big as a thunderstorm.
The falling stars really fall to the ground like glass beads and just make a sound.
However, what made Yi Yan feel a little relieved was that the large amount of resentment just now was wiped out by the "glass beads" dropped by the nebula.
Otherwise, Ember would have to jointly label the Creation Star Shower and the Elden Meteor as the "most useless legendary magic".
But it doesn't seem to be a big deal. The things that are dubbed "legendary" in the border area don't seem to work.
Whether it is legendary weapons or magic, only a few can be used, and they are not as easy as ordinary weapons and magic.
"Maybe this title is just to commemorate those groundbreaking magic and weapons of great historical value?" Ember nodded, feeling that he was telling the truth.
The nebula gradually dissipated, and the endless sound of amber shattering also stopped, and then other sounds appeared.
"Ah——, my eyes!"
The first thing that reached Yu Jin's ears was the familiar scream. Yu Jin quickly turned his head and looked behind him, and what he saw was the three people rubbing their eyes crazily.
"No way? Did it hit your eyes? Should I stop?"
Seeing the three people rolling on the ground, Yi Yan was startled. Could it be that his hands were slippery and he used too much force?
"No... no, it's too... too bright." The young master opened his swollen and red eyes. The stars were magnificent. That's because the stars and people are thousands of miles apart.
But if it fell from the sky, it would not be magnificent, even if it were shrunk countless times.
Even because of its smaller size, each star shines brighter.
"So this is how the Star Rain is used?" Yi Yan looked up at the shrinking nebulae in the sky, and finally found the true purpose of this magic.
"Where's Ka... Kapachili?" Aru winced as she staggered. The previously menacing monster had long since disappeared.
"That's not Kapachili, it's just resentment. Didn't you see that it even beat you up?" Seeing Aru's concern for Thunderbird, Ember couldn't help complaining.
This guy is really obsessed with Thunderbird.
"I...I know, resentment is okay." Aru rubbed his eyes. It was really strange, why did his eyes become sore?
"That's not its turn. The ones on Qinglai Island are the real subjects of Thunderbird's resentment." After patting A'u's head, Yi Yan planned to take A'lu to Qinglai Island.
Coincidentally, the resentment on Qinglai Island can also be dealt with.
But the next movement of Yan Yan was sudden. He put down his palm and told the young master and the skirmishers:
"There's something wrong with Guilong. I have to go take a look. Take this kid to Qinglai Island!"
After saying that, Ember's figure turned into orange points of light and disappeared between the sky and the earth.
Chapter 490 The war resumes
2024-02-16
On the sea at a corner of Nashi Beach, a wooden boat was slowly wandering along the coast. It seems to want to dock, but for some reason is reluctant.
The wooden boats cruised back and forth along the coast, looking a bit like anxious people pacing back and forth.
"Damn it, hasn't it been pretty good lately? Why are you fighting again?"
On the deck, Guilong looked at Nazhi Beach in the distance, where the fire was now soaring into the sky and the sound of killing was deafening.
Purple and red are intertwined, they are incompatible with each other. But it turned the shoals and the sea red together.
The battle between the shogunate army and the rebel army was witnessed by everyone, and conflicts between the two were commonplace.
But in recent days, the conflict between the two sides has intensified. Now, it's almost a full-scale attack.
At first, Guilong thought about converging the transportation lines in order to protect himself.
Things were fine with the rebels. Apart from the tighter inspections due to the war, there were no major changes.
But the shogunate army seemed to have a new commander, and even his request for a meeting was forcefully rejected.
"This is going to be a big change." After standing on the deck and looking around for a while, Guilong felt that he couldn't control the situation.
Originally, he was just a pirate who grew up between the shogunate army and the resistance army. Now that the gap between the two sides has disappeared, Ghost Dragon suddenly feels extremely troublesome.
But luckily he was alone and he was now on his lap!
Walking back into the cabin, Guilong took out a shriveled and thin old finger from his arms. As soon as he saw the severed finger in his hand, Guilong's expression twisted a bit.
Although he had killed people as a pirate, he had always done so quickly and thrown the bodies directly into the sea to feed the fish.
He had never done anything like dismembering a body, and he didn't know if this finger was really picked up by him as Huo Yan said.
If Guilong had witnessed the junction where the magic ring was broken, he probably wouldn't have such doubts.
Because the junction area after the magic ring was broken was full of corpses. Not to mention fingers, even Jingguan could be built by picking up corpses.
As for Rodland, I'm sorry, Rodland is so deserted that you can't even see many corpses.
"Embers..." Guilong's movements stopped while he pinched his rough severed fingers.
"How did he write it in the first place?" Guilong suddenly found that he had forgotten the runes that Yi Yan had written on the ground.
In fact, they are not runes, but the words of the border area. However, for Oni Takashi, who dropped out of elementary school, there is no difference between the words of another world and the ghost drawings.
Just when Gui Long was sweating profusely from anxiety, the severed finger in his palm suddenly burst out with an astonishing suction force.
This suction force drove his body, bit by bit, using the broken fingers in his hand to write words that Guilong had never seen before.
"Om-"
Orange-yellow light spots gathered in front of the words he had just written, and eventually gradually formed an orange-yellow shadow.
The shadow slowly stood up from the light emitted by the runes. The phantom took a step forward, and the orange light on it cracked, revealing the true figure of Ember.
"This...is this coming?" Looking at the embers in front of him, Guilong rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
