Embers of Embers

Chapter 654 Flash
Monsters were surrounding them, waving their fangs and claws. They were in groups, mixed with those strengthened monsters, armor and fireworks. Their figures were tall, like giants.
Shrike stood in a safe zone and looked at the figure behind the sea of ​​fire from a distance.
He turned his back to himself, holding two swords, and dazzling fireworks rolled around him. They rose in reverse, evaporating the accumulated water and bringing thick fog.
This scene seemed familiar, as if Shrike had witnessed a similar scene and participated in a similar battle a long time ago.
[Give them to me. 】
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind, Shrike panicked for a moment, and then realized that it was Lorenzo's voice.
Shrike remembered.
During the battle in Ender Town back then, Shrike stood in a safe area as he did now, watching Lorenzo contain the tide of monsters with his own power.
Nothing seems to have changed, and everything seems to have changed beyond recognition.
The demon hunter who could bleed and be injured at the beginning has also become such a terrifying appearance.
In an instant, extreme high temperature expansion occurred.
The naked eye cannot tell the existence of high temperature, and can only glimpse its existence through the heated and distorted air and the expelled rain.
Many sparks bloomed in the air around Lorenzo. They were dust drifting with the strong wind, flickering and extinguishing under the burning power of Michael.
The battle is imminent.
The demons roared and advanced, they rushed in like a tide of death, but Lorenzo was unmoved. He just stood there, looking ready for battle.
Then he witnessed these charging demons and witnessed their flesh and blood falling apart under the high temperature.
This is a somewhat indescribable scene. The moment the demon entered Lorenzo's domain, its body lit up with a blazing red light. But soon, these lights dimmed and turned into a gray-black charred shell. , only a little red light can still be seen between the cracked gaps.
Most of the demons could only advance to the periphery of the realm. Under the high temperature, their bodies were burned into charcoal and stood up like pitch-black sculptures.
Lorenzo began to move forward, and there was a constant squelch as the water evaporated.
Some strengthened demons have also stepped into it, and some have the characteristics of immortality and strong self-healing ability, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the field.
The burned body on the body was also shed under the constantly regenerating flesh and blood, like a cicada chrysalis.
Very close, they were close enough that they could chop off Lorenzo's head with just a wave of their claws.
Lorenzo raised his arm with difficulty, but Lorenzo did not resist, but when the claw fell, the demon only felt that his swing was in vain, and then he realized that his entire arm had disappeared.
Demons have no sense at all. They only act based on instinct, and it is difficult to think about what is happening at the moment.
Lorenzo stepped forward, and the demon's entire face disappeared, then its neck, torso, legs, and finally its extended tail.
The monster disappeared.
No, this is not disappearing, but being instantly vaporized by the terrifying high temperature after stepping into the core of the domain.
All that remained of them were floating ashes, and these ashes were burned again in the realm, bursting out with little bits of fire, like twinkling stars.
power.
Absolute power.
Power that Lorenzo never had.
It was a good and unsettling deal, Lorenzo gained the power to crush demons at the cost of getting closer and closer to the abyss.
Maybe Lorenzo is still in a safe position, or maybe he is already standing on the edge of danger. If he is not careful, he will fall and be completely swallowed by the deep darkness.
Lorenzo didn't think too much, and the next moment the field collapsed.
The oppressive high temperature finally dissipated, followed by a roaring explosion. The blazing foehn wind pushed away the water and rain curtain, and also shattered the towering charred bodies.
The shrike in the distance only saw a red wave, and then the weapon master and other original sin armors were knocked back as if they were hit hard. Some of the unlucky ones who were directly exposed to the foehn wind even had their bodies burned, and let out a burst of A wail of agony.
The silence lasted for a while, and soon the heavy rain fell again, cooling the hot area.
"It's so scary..." Night Owl whispered, witnessing everything that looked like a miracle, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is this really a power that humans can control?"
No one knows the answer, and I'm afraid the owner of this power doesn't know either.
Lorenzo panted. Maintaining such a high-temperature field was a big burden for him, but this was the only way to destroy demons quickly and on a large scale.
He once felt that he had become a human-shaped bomb. As long as he was air-dropped at a certain location, Lorenzo could trigger the end of the world.
Just like what Roger is causing now.
The boiling water covered Lorenzo's ankles. He looked around. The buildings on both sides of the street were also destroyed by the high temperature. He could clearly see that their damaged edges formed a circle with Lorenzo as the center. Perfect spherical shape.
"Roger, where are you?"
In the dark, Shao Liangye was also watching here with vigilance. In this war, for Roger, the two most valuable targets were the death row that was strictly protected, and the other was the [End Page] carried by Lorenzo. Yan echo].
Both of them represent the only remaining hope for mankind in this war, and [Final Echo] is even worse, it can be said that it is the only bargaining chip.
Lorenzo's rough attack would definitely not escape Roger's prying eyes, so would Roger take action at this time?
Or……
A bad thought came to Shao Liangye's mind.
Maybe Roger will directly attack the death row. In this case, Lorenzo will definitely go there to stop Roger, and Roger will be there to destroy everything in one fell swoop.
Unknowingly, the death row, which was supposed to be strictly protected, seems to have become the decisive battle of this war. Countless gamblers are rushing there, pouring everything they have.
The demons launched an offensive again, and the only outcome for these monsters was death. Even if Lorenzo killed so many, he still could not completely deter them.
The black mass surged up again, as if it was endless, and there was no end to the killing.
Lorenzo raised his two swords and slashed them directly at the invading demon.
It doesn't matter whether the nailed sword is sharp at this moment. There are blazing white fireworks attached to it. The high temperature can easily burn the flesh and blood, and then the nailed sword cuts off the limbs.
The fireworks remain on the monsters until they are burned to ashes.
Swinging the nail sword, Lorenzo easily smashed the demon into pieces, scattering countless ashes, which were swept behind him by the strong wind and mixed with the filthy water.
Even the demon in iron armor could not stop Lorenzo's slashing. The seemingly invincible iron armor was easily melted through by the high temperature, and the blood was evaporated before it could flow out.
Lorenzo suddenly felt that there was nothing interesting about it. It was like a one-sided massacre. Even if he was slaughtering his favorite monster, there seemed to be no sense of accomplishment at all.
Maybe he needs a stronger opponent.
Yes, that's the case, and Lorenzo is here for all of this, isn't it?
Roaring artillery fire passed by Lorenzo's side, and then more bullets rained down, defeating the demon wave again.
Lorenzo rebuilt the defense line for Shrike and bought critical time, and this time was much longer than expected. In addition, Lorenzo defeated these demons, which greatly reduced Shrike's pressure.
[Lorenzo, can you hear me? 】
Shrike tried to ask. This kind of [gap] communication is one-way. Without giving it a try, Shrike wouldn't know if Lorenzo was listening to him.
"what happened?"
Lorenzo asked back, keeping the connection open to spy on the situation on Shrike's side.
The distance between the two is not that far, but if Roger suddenly appears, this distance will seem extremely long.
Lorenzo is strong enough, but against Roger, he still doesn't have much confidence.
[That’s a pretty good power, right? 】
Lorenzo heard the meaning of the Shrike, and said directly without making any concealment.
"Don't worry, Shrike, I'm stable, at least until this whole damn thing is over, I will be."
After hearing such an answer, Shrike stopped talking, probably because he didn't expect Lorenzo to reply so bluntly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
[That’s good, I don’t want us to be on opposite sides someday in the future. 】
"Don't worry, I will solve my own problem before that happens."
Lorenzo said without hesitation.
"You probably want to ask more than just these, is there anything else? After Roger shows up, I won't be so free."
The voice was quiet for a few seconds, then it rang out.
[The pressure here has been reduced a lot. If possible, I hope you will help Gawain. 】
Shrike was very worried about Gawain. Gawain had been looking for reinforcements not long ago, but Shrike was held back and had no way to help.
"Am I a fire brigade?" Lorenzo laughed.
[Almost, in short, go see them as much as possible. 】
Lorenzo thought for a few seconds and asked again.
"Where are their locations?"
[What are you doing...? 】
Shrike stopped mid-sentence. He could feel the sharp stinging pain in his mind and an extremely disgusting feeling in his throat, as if he wanted to vomit something out.
Erosion, erosion is expanding rapidly, and now only Lorenzo can do this. What is he doing?
"Trying out some new abilities."
Lorenzo said and started running. It felt good to try again. This may be the gain brought by strength.
The Iron Snake he was riding on had been buried in the flames, and it was unclear when the next bus would arrive. In the absence of transportation, he could only run towards his destination in an extremely primitive way.
Shao Liangye held the hook gun and walked between the buildings, closely following Lorenzo. However, it was obvious that his speed was still too slow, and Lorenzo gradually pulled away from him.
Fortunately, the corrosion emanating from Lorenzo's body was too obvious, and as an anonymous person, it was easy for him to judge the direction.
It's just that Shao Liangye was a little confused. It was still too slow to send reinforcements at such a speed. What he didn't know was that as early as Lorenzo started, a certain black figure on the dome had already opened his eyes. , it shared the field of vision with Lorenzo and fell into another scene.
……
"So our job is to fly in the sky? Until that guy calls us and then drop that thing?"
The conversation took place in the cab. The two pilots sat on both sides of the console, controlling the operating levers to make the war airship float up or down.
"Probably, it's a bit boring, but in this case, boredom is a good thing."
The driver on one side said.
He looked at the world outside the observation window. The whole of Old Dunling was shrouded in thick clouds, surrounded by thunderstorms. Above this gloomy city, he could even observe the existence of several cyclones, stirring up the storm.
"Look at them, they are carrying out low-altitude bombing and transporting people and supplies."
Looking down at Old Dunling, countless spots of light were burning in the darkness. The entire Old Dunling had become a battlefield, and people and demons were dying everywhere.
Seeing this, the driver on the other side nodded in agreement.
Indeed, their job is boring. They just pull the cargo to hover over the old Dunling and airdrop it when necessary.
It was very simple. It was easier than any task they had experienced before. Although it was boring, in this terrible environment, this boredom seemed rare and valuable.
"But will anyone really call us?" the pilot asked doubtfully, "the erosion interference is getting more and more serious."
"Who knows? We just have to do our job," said another.
While the two were chatting, the war airship suddenly began to tremble violently, shaking continuously, as if it was about to crash.
"What's going on? Strong wind?"
"No...that's not right. The hatch is open? What's going on!"
The driver looked at the lighted sign and said in disbelief.
"Dot! Who turned it on?"
"how could I know!"
Dot also yelled. He has been in the industry for so long, and this is the only time he has encountered such a damn thing.
"Or... maybe it started on its own." The other person's voice began to tremble.
Dot shouted to his colleague, "Are you stupid? Reli!"
"This is possible, have you forgotten? I served on the Sail to Dawn before!"
Reli recalled his past experiences, those unforgettable memories.
"so……"
Dot's voice gradually stopped, and he remembered the rumor related to the Navigation to Dawn. During a certain secret operation, an Original Sin Armor started on its own without a driver.
The name of that armor is Black Angel, and in their cabin, they are carrying Black Angel...or rather, its new model, the Flame Bearer.
"Look, Dot."
Reli's voice completely lost all emotion. He stretched out his finger towards the observation window, and Dot also looked in the direction pointed by his colleague.
At some point, two red tracks appeared in the airspace in front of them. The surging firelight was accompanied by black smoke. They were spirally intertwined, like speeding drills, following the passing shadow.
The flame bearer is very fast, like a flash of light that cuts through the sky.
