Chapter 938 The protagonist group failed to open up wasteland
"Is this the Demon Castle? It's indeed magnificent. It's amazing that those extraterrestrial demons were able to build such a huge castle underground." Cato's eyes fell on a part of the cosmic fortress that was entirely made of unknown alloys. , couldn’t help but sigh.
However, Edward did not speak, his eyes were firmly on guard.
This was the first time he had seen the Magic Castle. According to the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death, this was not the real Magic Castle, but only an insignificant part of the once magnificent Magic Castle.
However, even this small part frightened him.
He had seen a strange thing called a magic ship before. Compared with this part of the magic castle, it was much different.
However, he had been fighting alone before, and this time the Orei Empire sent a powerful army to help him.
This is good news for Edward.
"Earl Edward, you said before that there might be Iron Man and aberrations lurking in the Magic Castle, why is there no movement at all." Cato asked again.
"These monsters are sealed in the magic castle. If no one comes close, they will not wake up."
"And these monsters are not the most terrifying. What is truly terrifying are the traps in the magic castle." Edward reminded.
He had encountered various traps in the previous magic ship.
Fortunately, he also figured it out a little bit: "It can be roughly divided into two types. One is light, which is fast and powerful."
"The other one is similar to a steam weapon, except it can explode and is very dense."
"These two powers are quite impressive. Not only can they be placed on buildings, but some Iron Men can also hold them."
"But maybe because it took too long, most of them have actually failed."
"So we have to be careful of traps that don't fail," Edward said.
Cato nodded. The current Edward has been tempered for a long time and is no longer the young man he was before.
In a life-and-death crisis, growth naturally advances by leaps and bounds, so how could it still stand still?
"Then let's set out and clear out this magic castle as soon as possible, so as to detect the situation of the demons outside the world, and the empire can deal with it." Cato did not show any contempt. Edward had previously proven his strength with his bravery and intelligence. .
The young man in front of him was simply a replica of Grand Duke Langton, but his strength and ability had not yet grown to the level of Lu Xingshi.
"Okay, I'll open the way." Edward took over the role of pioneer without hesitation.
In this way, all dangers are borne by him.
Cato naturally took a different look at this.
"You and Grand Duke Langton actually have a lot of similarities." Cato said.
When Edward heard what he said, he couldn't help but think of the powerless oppression he felt when he and the Archduke Langton first met.
"Really? I hope that one day, I can be like him, able to intimidate all countries with my name alone." Edward finished smiling and took out two witchcraft weapons.
One is the spell-breaking blade that Lu Xingshi gave him originally, and the other is the newly acquired soul-slaying edge.
One of these two witchcraft tools is a meditation method with a life attribute, and the other is a matching breathing method with a death attribute.
The two witchcraft weapons that were supposed to be in conflict not only ceased to be in conflict when they fell into Edward's hands, but instead complemented each other.
Mainly because of the two extraordinary seeds in his body and the help of the two dragons, he was able to exert extraordinary power.
The extraordinary seeds of life and death gave him the same supermodel strength as Lu Xingshi.
It's just that it's not as cheating as Lu Xingshi. At most, he can only use the level of knight/wizard as a great knight/great wizard. He can't cross two levels just by attributes like Lu Xingshi. He can only cross two levels. Level one.
He didn't open it wide enough.
If the Dragon of Life and Dragon of Death in his body were replaced by the Immortal Dragon and the Dragon of Decay, there would still be a chance to reach Lu Xingshi's level of cheating.
"There will be." Cato said, and saw Edward rushing towards the magic castle with two witchcraft weapons.
He then commanded the steam soldiers to enter combat mode and followed Edward.
One thousand people sounds small, but in fact it is a lot, especially since this group of steam soldiers is also equipped with four kinds of steam animal-type weapons.
As Edward crossed a certain boundary, the entire cosmic fortress was activated in an instant.
Countless intelligent weapons used for killing were activated, and the ferocious biochemical monster woke up from dormancy and turned into a real weapon.
Edward began to imbue himself with various life-based witchcraft, and added death-based fighting skills to himself, and immediately killed an omnic at the forefront.
Omnics are indeed robots, but when faced with death-based fighting skills, the power of death instantly erodes the dead thing, causing it to decay into something unbearable.
Especially since this group of omnics had not been maintained for a long time, they naturally had little ability to resist Edward's witchcraft fighting skills.
The steam soldiers are far behind. They are definitely not as good as Edward in close combat, and they are not as good as omnics in long-range suppression.
Fortunately, they were extraordinary individuals and not ordinary people, so after a brief defeat, Cato immediately adjusted back with orders, forming a tough line of defense and killing omnics and biochemical monsters in an orderly manner.
Once they found a suitable position and adapted to the battle, the killing efficiency of the steam soldiers skyrocketed. When Edward compared with them, he was immediately inferior.
After all, he is just one person with limited strength.
"Earl Edward, you can temporarily withdraw as a replacement." Cato shouted. The main thing is that it would be too wasteful to let Edward go and kill and kill, so it is better to come back and check for the deficiencies.
If the defense line is not broken, then they can advance steadily.
In the current situation, our own side has the advantage, so we should focus on stability and there is no need to use surprise troops.
Edward naturally heard it, and he was about to retreat, but suddenly stopped.
Through the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death, he sensed that there was a terrifying existence awakening in the magic castle.
The next moment, invisible ripples exploded quickly, and under the ripples, everyone's brains could clearly hear the sharp sounds coming from the spiritual and soul levels.
"It's the Soul Demon!" Edward roared, and the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death emerged at the same time.
The Dragon of Death supports the isolation barrier with the power of death, while the Dragon of Life immediately heals everyone present with the power of life.
The two portable grandfathers took action at the same time.
However, even so, it was not possible to save all the steam soldiers.
The steam soldiers who were closer were immediately mentally shattered and their souls were torn apart.
Cato was lucky, he just passed out. Even though he was just an ordinary person, he couldn't stay far away and was not the main target.
The sharp ripple howling never stopped, but Edward saw a translucent gelatinous monster squirming out of the magic castle.
The head of this monster is a face that is so distorted that it is impossible to tell whether it is a human or a monster.
In the body part, there are transparent sarcomas growing inside the colloid. If you look carefully, the surface of these transparent sarcomas is like a stretched human face, but it is stretched too long, and it is not what you see. Very clear.
Edward's expression became more serious.
He had seen this soul demon before, and there was one on every demon ship.
But the size will be different. However, this time the soul demon in the magic castle is really too big, already a hundred meters long.
What he had encountered before was only about three to five meters.
The two are not of the same magnitude at all.
The bigger it is, the stronger its strength is, and this is only to the extent that it has been weakened after a long period of time.
Edward couldn't even imagine how powerful this terrifying soul demon was in its heyday.
"Edward, this soul demon is too strong, retreat." The Death Dragon looked at the precarious death barrier and without hesitation made a suggestion to retreat.
The sound just now was just the other party's howling, and the other party never made any move.
Once it gets close, the Death Dragon's death barrier cannot stop it at all.
The two dragons have recovered to some extent, but compared with their heyday, they are still one in the sky and the other in the earth.
In their heyday, they would have been able to make this soul demon collapse without even using their hands. They could just rely on the aura of the divine version of dragon power on their bodies.
Edward's expression changed, and he quickly retreated. He immediately issued the evacuation order on behalf of Cato, and took Cato with him before leaving.
"We're leaving, what should we do with the Soul Demon, Iron Man and the strange monsters? They came out of the magic castle and something is going to happen." The Dragon of Life asked worriedly.
"Save your life first. I didn't expect the Magic Castle to be so scary." Edward couldn't care too much at this time.
The magic castle and the magic ship are not at the same level at all.
"You cooperate with me and create a temporary seal to prevent these ghosts from running out!" The Dragon of Life said to the Dragon of Death.
"Can it be done?" Edward asked immediately.
Even if it is temporarily closed, it is better than running out.
The Death Dragon hesitated for a moment and finally agreed: "Okay!"
After all, it was them who caused the trouble, and they must solve it themselves.
Not only was this campaign unsuccessful, it also had more serious consequences.
Two dragons flew out of Edward's body and began to arrange seals.
Cato also woke up slowly at this time, and saw that the steam soldiers he had brought were all in vain, and he seemed a little silent.
He didn't blame Edward, but was glad that he discovered the power of the demon outside the world early, which gave the Orei Empire more time to prepare.
This time the sacrifice was valuable.
"Earl Edward, please stay here while I go to the Dragon Mountains and ask Archduke Langton to deal with the Magic Castle."
In Cato's view, only Lu Xingshi could deal with such a powerful enemy.
"Okay, I'll try my best to maintain the seal." How could Edward refuse? If someone is willing to help with the mess he has caused, then he will naturally be very grateful. There is no way he would have other ideas.
