Embers of Embers

Chapter 653
Demons, there are demons everywhere in sight.
Shrike's mood has changed from bad to numb. At first, he felt a little troublesome, but now his mind is empty, only relying on instinct to fight back.
Fortunately, the sea of ​​fire blocked the progress of most demons, which relieved them of great pressure, but the threat still existed.
A swift black shadow flashed in front of his eyes. The weapons master raised his sword to block, only to hear a harsh impact as the metals cut each other, followed by a spreading mist of water.
The weapon master fell backwards, staggering, and the sword blade stabbed down suddenly, cutting into the water, and barely managed to steady his figure.
Shrike raised his head, the cracked sword blade reflected the scarred weapon master, and in front of Shrike was the iron-armored demon.
These guys are far more troublesome than expected. Fireworks can't burn them, and the kinetic energy carried by bullets can't penetrate the iron armor. Moreover, their whole bodies are covered by this dense, metal-like hardness. Oral cavity.
"Anonymous!"
The shrike roared, lunging forward again.
The weapon master picked up the armor and fire gun and fired. The dazzling fire turned into a swallowing dragon's breath, which covered the demon's body in the blink of an eye. The weapon master also relied on the blocked vision to swing the sword fiercely.
In the shocking trembling, the sword blade shattered, turning into countless metal fragments and cutting around, splashing countless sparks.
Correspondingly, among the countless dents on the solid iron armor of the monster, a blow finally pierced through the hardness, hurting its flesh and blood, and blood seeped out of the cracks.
"Anonymous!"
Shrike roared again, urging.
The weapon master turned around suddenly and grabbed the demon by the throat. Close combat was not an advantage for the Original Sin Armor, but now Shrike had to do this.
The engine was overloaded, the mechanical arm was chewed to death, and the weapon master held on to the demon tightly. Just when the shrike was about to shout again, after the rain and fog, the anonymous rescuers finally arrived.
The location of Ufutu was obscured by heavy rain and fog... No, it was not rain and fog, but the steam that was constantly overflowing. The dense steam was continuously released until a red light shone in the dense fog.
As if fireworks from hell were set off, Ufutu set up a heavy gun mount that looked like a crossbow bed.
Pull the trigger.
The weapon on the ballista was fired, and the Shrike couldn't see what it looked like, or even where it was going.
All he could see was the pierced rain and mist. As the invisible thing penetrated, the rain and mist seemed to be stagnant, stopping in mid-air, and was soon blown away by the strong wind.
Shrike saw it. Traveling at high speed, it was twisted into a beam of miserable white light, which penetrated the rain and fog, and then hit the demon immobilized by the weapon master.
Hearing only a sharp sound like a buzzing sound high in the sky, Shrike felt that the entire weapons division was shaking uncontrollably, and the world in front of him entered a crazy trembling state.
The demon stopped struggling, the weapon master let go of it, and the body fell down weakly. It was at this time that Shrike finally saw the thing clearly.
After the dazzling sparks suddenly appeared, a spiral spear head sank along the dent on the iron armor, piercing through the demon's iron armor in one fell swoop, the thread was full of blood, pulling and crushing its bones and internal organs during the whirling thrust, crushing its entire chest. Completely destroyed and then protruding from the back.
This reminded Shrike of the soldiers who were pierced by spears on the battlefield hundreds of years ago.
Human beings are too cowardly after all. In order to fight against powerful enemies, they must be more careful and use all their Tzeentchian cunning.
After the torrential rain in the Montenegro Hospital, in Ye Xiao's report, the purging agency realized these monsters who embodied power. In order to prevent possible encounters again, the Perpetual Pump secretly developed this weapon.
A spiral spear made entirely of high-strength cypress iron, driven by fuel and compressed steam, it can penetrate and kill within a short distance.
This was a weapon that was created to deal with the demon's armor, and now it finally came out of the sealed warehouse.
"Reload!"
Shrike roared, and the sword dancers on the side also moved forward quickly, blocking the advancement of the armored demon with more advancing rioters, buying time for the spiral spear to be launched again.
This is a weapon only for armor, and its design has not gone through too many iterations, and it still has many shortcomings. On the battlefield, these shortcomings need to be made up for by soldiers.
The excess paint and antimony was burned away, and the sea of ​​​​fire gradually lost its initial intensity. Some stubborn ordinary demons also climbed out of the sea of ​​​​fire.
The weapon master threw the broken sword at the approaching demon. Its body was still stained with flames. Before it could make a decision, it was split open by the falling broken sword.
It stretched out its hand, stepped on the body of the armored demon, pulled out the spiral spear with force, and then swung it vigorously.
The water splashed several meters high, and then the approaching demon was forced back again.
A sudden black shadow covered the weapons master, and a demon clung to the wall, leaping towards the weapons master from a high place.
But before it fell, the giant ax fell, cutting the demon in half. The spine was broken, and the blood mixed with the internal organs was sprinkled on the weapon master's body, and some of it even splashed into the visor.
"Promote!"
An indistinct voice sounded, with a strange accent.
Ufutu pushed forward at some point. These heavy armors were very bulky. Compared with the original sin armor, they moved extremely slowly, but correspondingly, they were covered with thick armor, like a shield wall.
When Ufutu was united, it was an insurmountable wall. Now the wall is slowly advancing, swallowing up the rainwater and corpses, bringing everything under its feet.
"Go on! Invergians!"
Such a sound echoed in Ufutu, and the city wall advanced slowly, waving giant knives and axes, killing any monsters that tried to get close to flesh.
The shrike didn't speak much. The dark fate connected him with these strangers. They were strangers who were not familiar with each other before, but now they are brothers who will live and die together.
The rioters quickened their pace and output firepower forward. With their flexibility far exceeding that of Ufutu, they were able to contain the enhanced monsters.
"This is the Wavebreaker warship, calling Shrike."
There was a sound on the channel. Shrike raised his head and saw another war airship appearing. It passed over him on the rolling sea of ​​clouds.
"This is Shrike, what's wrong?"
The erosion affects the entire city's communications, and the sound on the channel is intermittent, with the sound of noisy electricity.
"From a high altitude, there are a large number of monsters heading towards you!"
The voice was filled with fear, and even as he listened, Shrike felt the pressure from the other party.
Tide of monsters?
Looking at the enhanced demons that were still being dealt with around him, as well as more demons that were trying to cross the sea of ​​fire, Shrike's pupils trembled slightly. He finally had to solve the predicament in front of him, but as a result, another group of powerful enemies came.
Taking a deep breath, he was a high-ranking knight and had experienced countless lives and deaths. Shrike could not be captured by such fear.
"Thank you... thank you."
Shrike thanked the other end of the channel. He wanted to say something sad, but the other party said loudly.
"Wait, Shrike, what's coming?"
"what?"
The shrike couldn't understand what he said, and he didn't know what the other person saw at high altitude.
"Something's heading your way!"
"What's moving forward?"
Shrike asked loudly, but at this time there was only the noisy sound of electricity in the channel. As the wave of demons approached, excessive erosion completely paralyzed the communication, and now this place has become a dead place.
Gritting his teeth, looking from a distance, he could see the black demon rushing towards him as the wave rose.
"Don't be afraid, folks."
Shrike yelled, trying to cheer up the others.
But before he could finish speaking, more rioters passed him. After emptying their ammunition, they swung their sharp blades. Some even borrowed giant axes from Ufutu. Each blow made the water on the ground tremble slightly. .
Another sharp sound erupted, and the spiral spear spun and lunged, piercing an armored demon.
"Don't worry, Shrike."
Night Owl said lightly.
"It's just another battle."
Shrike's expression gradually fell into calmness, and the weapons master walked at the forefront. He took down the dagger and armor and firecracker from the weapon rack, and stood in front of the sea of ​​​​fire, making the final attack.
The black tide is getting closer and closer, and everyone's heartbeats are getting faster and faster, like an engine about to explode.
In the midst of the storm and thunder, Shrike seemed to be trying to control his fear and roared loudly, but at this moment, another harsh sound sounded.
The sound was so harsh that it easily drowned out the shrike's roar, as well as the demon's whine and bursts of thunder.
The loud siren sounded, and the constantly flashing headlights were like the eyes of a monster, protruding from the rain and fog, across the sea of ​​fire.
This is the sharpest sword and the most tenacious hammer. It splits the road and smashes the enemy's head.
The armed iron snake was covered with bloodstains, and at the same time it stirred up waves several meters high, it smashed one head after another of the monsters, and the blood and minced meat were evenly smeared on the metal surface.
Everyone was stunned on the spot. No one thought that there was actually an armed iron snake heading here, and there seemed to be something wrong with the position where it broke in.
The armed iron snakes should have appeared at the rear of the team, where the terrain was higher, there was less water, and it was still under control.
But this time it ran directly from the deep water and plunged into the demon tide, like a horizontal iron wall, isolating the demon tide again after the sea of ​​fire.
This was simply death, and it was a joyous death, because after the damn armed iron snake stopped, it kept sounding its siren, which was as annoying as an alarm clock in the morning.
Shrike was about to step forward quickly and try to save the people on the armed iron snake, but a hook rope shot out from the sea of ​​​​fire and nailed into the wall. A few seconds later, a figure was pulled by the hook rope and jumped onto the high building.
who is it?
Just as Shrike was wondering, a light suddenly emerged, illuminating the man's face behind the heavy rain.
It's Shao Liangye.
So……
Shrike realized something. His eyes were attracted by the light that illuminated Shao Liangye. He looked into the sky and saw the man's figure leaping high, with the blazing fire following closely behind him.
The light shines like the scorching sun coming into the world.
Under this glow, all that was left of his figure was a dark silhouette.
"Lorenzo Holmes!"
Shrike shouted his name in a loud voice, like calling a demon.
The blazing pupils lifted up after the rain and fog, and the Shrike could be sure that he was looking at himself. The demon smiled, and then responded to the mortal.
"Yo! Shrike!"
Lorenzo responded, and then he laughed.
"one more time!"
"Great rescue from Holmos!"
The rolling and raging scorching sun slowly fell and exploded.
This was a flame a hundred times more blazing than the burning of paint and antimony. Shrike's sight was snatched away in an instant, leaving only a bright light that could not be looked directly at.
The cold was no longer replaced by the blazing foehn winds, which roared in, blowing the water heated to boiling, with the sound of bursting bubbles, and countless bodies burned into charred shells.
It was as if a blazing sun was falling, bringing endless destruction.
The huge amount of steam was swallowed by the strong wind before it could escape. Hundreds of demons were evaporated in an instant, leaving only a few floating ashes. The demons on the periphery were only shriveled corpses, like weathered dead trees. Like towering.
The light was fleeting, and in the remaining heat wave, a figure stood alone in it. Under his feet was the burned earth. After a few seconds, the water came up again, filling the gap.
Lorenzo walked a few steps, frowning slightly, the high temperature heated the stagnant water, and now he felt like he was taking a bath.
only……
Lorenzo looked ahead. There were still many demons that had survived the high temperature, and there were also many strengthened demons. For the first time, they felt fearful. They hesitated in place, not daring to step forward.
Drawing out his swords, Lorenzo cut through the water and strode towards the demon.
"I don't want to take a bath with the monsters."
He ran quickly, scorching heat surrounded him, and in the thick steam, a strange "vacuum" could be seen around Lorenzo.
The raindrops were evaporated in an instant as soon as they touched the edge of the vacuum, and the same was true under Lorenzo's feet. The accumulated water was burned away by the high temperature, making Lorenzo step on dry earth with every step.
"come!"
He roared loudly and danced with his nail sword.
The blade of the sword seemed to be protected by great power. No demon could withstand a sword strike. Not only was it cut at the physical level, but the injured flesh and blood also began to burn at the moment of bleeding, turning into ashes scattered all over the sky. go.
The demon with iron armor tried to block the way, but Lorenzo slashed down with his sword, sparking sparks. He was a little surprised that he couldn't see the iron armor cut open, but correspondingly, on the solid armor, there was a Clear sword marks.
Lorenzo jumped up and thrust out the nail sword. The brutal heat was concentrated a little, without any obstruction. The nail sword easily penetrated the demon's armor and nailed into the head.
The monster's scarlet pupils gradually froze, and soon flames ignited deep in the pupils, and it opened its mouth weakly, only to see that the scarlet mouth turned gray and black, and there was still rolling redness in the depths of its throat. .
The high temperature was injected into the body along the nailed sword and passed through the iron armor.
The corpse fell powerlessly, while Lorenzo pulled out the nailed sword and drew out a stream of fire.
