Chapter 938 The protagonists who failed in the land reclamation

"Is this the Demon Castle? It is indeed magnificent. It is amazing that those alien demons could build such a huge castle underground." Cato's eyes fell on a part of the cosmic fortress made entirely of unknown alloy, and he couldn't help but sigh.

However, Edward said nothing, his eyes fixed in alert.

It was the first time for him to see the Magic Castle. According to the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death, this was not the real Magic Castle, but just a tiny and insignificant part of the once magnificent Magic Castle.

However, even this small part was enough to horrify him.

He had seen strange things called magic ships before, but they were far inferior to this part of the magic castle.

However, he had always fought 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 men and monsters hiding 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 approaches, they will not wake up."

"And these monsters are not the scariest things. What's really scary are the traps in the magic castle." Edward reminded.

He had encountered various traps in the magic ship before.

Fortunately, he also figured it out: "There are roughly two types. One is light, which is fast and powerful."

"The other is similar to steam weapons, but it can explode, and it is very dense."

"These two are quite powerful. Not only can they be placed on buildings, but some iron men can also hold them."

"But maybe because it's been so long, most of them have actually failed."

"So what we have to be careful about is that there are no traps that fail," Edward said.

Cato nodded. Edward now has been tempered and is no longer the young man he used to be.

Under life-and-death crisis, growth is naturally rapid. How could it be possible to remain stagnant?

"Then let's go and clear out this magic castle as soon as possible to find out the situation of the alien demons so that the empire can deal with it." Cato did not look down on Edward at all. Edward had previously proved his strength with his bravery and intelligence.

The young man in front of him was a replica of Grand Duke Landon, except that his strength and ability had not yet grown to Lu Xingshi's level.

"Okay, I'll lead the way." Edward took on the responsibility of pioneer without hesitation.

In this way, all the risks will be borne by him.

Cato naturally looked at this differently.

"You and Grand Duke Lanton actually have a lot of similarities." Cato said.

When Edward heard him say this, he couldn't help but recall the feeling of powerlessness and oppression he felt when he first met Grand Duke Lanton.

"Really? I hope that one day, I can be like him and shock the nations with my name alone." Edward said with a smile and took out two magical weapons.

One was the Law-Breaking Blade that Lu Xingshi had given him, and the other was the newly acquired Soul-Severing Edge.

One of these two magical weapons is a meditation method with life attributes, and the other is a breathing method with death attributes.

The two magical weapons that should have been in conflict not only no longer conflicted in Edward's hands, but instead complemented each other.

It is mainly because of the two extraordinary seeds in his body and the help of two dragons that he can exert extraordinary power.

The extraordinary seed of life and death gave him the same supermodel strength as Lu Xingshi.

But he has not reached Lu Xingshi's level of cheating. The most he can do is to use the knight/wizard level as a great knight/great wizard. He cannot jump two levels just by attributes like Lu Xingshi. He can only jump one level.

His cheat is not big enough.

If the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death on his body were replaced with the former Immortal Dragon and the Dragon of Corruption, then he would still have a chance to reach Lu Xingshi's level of cheating.

"It will happen." Cato said, and saw Edward rushing into the magic castle with two magical weapons.

He then commanded the steam soldiers to enter combat mode and followed Edward.

A thousand people may sound like a small number, but it is actually a large number, especially since these steam soldiers are equipped with four types of steam animal-type weapons.

As Edward crossed a certain boundary, the entire cosmic fortress was activated in an instant.

Countless intelligent machines used for killing were activated, and the hideous biochemical monster awakened from hibernation and turned into a real weapon.

Edward began to cast various life-related witchcraft on himself, and added death-related fighting skills to himself, and immediately killed an intelligent robot that was at the forefront.

The intelligent machines are indeed robots, but when faced with death-related fighting skills, the power of death instantly corrodes this dead object, causing it to decay into a useless form.

Especially since this group of intelligent machines had not been maintained for a long time, they naturally had little resistance when facing Edward's witchcraft fighting skills.

The steam soldiers are much inferior. They are definitely no match for Edward in close combat, and no match for the intelligent machines in long-range suppression.

Fortunately, they are extraordinary individuals, not ordinary people, so after a brief defeat, Gato used orders to adjust back immediately, forming a tenacious line of defense, killing the intelligent machines and biochemical monsters in a very orderly manner.

Once they found the right position and adapted to the battle, the steam soldiers' killing efficiency skyrocketed, and Edward was immediately inferior to them.

After all, he is just a human with limited strength.

"Earl Edward, you can temporarily retreat and fill in the gap." Cato shouted. It was a waste to let Edward go out and kill, so it would be better to come back to check and fill in the gaps.

As long as the defense line is not broken, they can advance steadily.

In the current situation, we have the advantage, so we should focus on stability and there is no need to use surprise attacks.

Edward naturally heard it. He was about to step back, but suddenly stopped.

Through the Dragon of Life and the Dragon of Death, he sensed that a terrifying existence was awakening in the Demon Castle.

The next moment, invisible ripples quickly erupted, and everyone's brains under these ripples clearly heard a sharp sound coming from the mental and soul levels.

"It's the soul demon!" Edward roared, and the dragon of life and the dragon of death appeared on his body at the same time.

The Dragon of Death held up a barrier with the power of death, while the Dragon of Life immediately healed everyone present with the power of life.

The two old men attacked at the same time.

However, even so, not all the steam soldiers could be saved.

The steam soldiers who were closer had their spirits shattered and their souls torn apart.

Gato was lucky and just fainted. Even though he was just an ordinary person, he was far away and not the main target.

The sharp ripple howling never stopped from beginning to end, but Edward saw a translucent gelatinous monster wriggling out of the magic castle.

The monster's head was a face so distorted that it was hard to tell whether it was a human or a monster.

In the body, there are transparent tumors growing inside the colloid. If you look closely, the surface of these transparent tumors is like a stretched human face, but it is stretched too long and cannot be seen clearly.

Edward's expression became more serious.

He had seen this soul demon before. There was one on every magic ship.

But the size will be different. However, the soul demon in the magic castle this time is really too big, it is already a hundred meters in size.

Before this, he had only encountered distances of about three to five meters.

The two are not of the same magnitude at all.

The larger the size, the stronger it is, and this is only the extent of its weakening 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 suggested retreat without hesitation.

The sound just now was just the opponent's howling. The opponent didn't make any attack at all.

Once it gets close, the Death Dragon's death barrier will not be able to stop it.

The two dragons have recovered somewhat, but compared to their heyday, there is still a huge gap.

If they were in their prime, they wouldn't even have to take any action. Just relying on their divine dragon aura, they would be able to cause the soul demon to collapse.

Edward's face changed and he hurriedly retreated. He immediately issued an evacuation order on behalf of Cato and took Cato with him before leaving.

"If we leave, what will happen to the soul demon, iron man and monsters? If they come out of the magic castle, something bad will happen." The Dragon of Life asked worriedly.

"Let's save our lives first. I didn't expect the magic castle to be so scary." Edward couldn't care less at this moment.

The magic castle and the magic ship are completely not on the same level.

"Cooperate with me to create a temporary seal to prevent these ghost things from escaping!" said the Dragon of Life to the Dragon of Death.

"Is it possible?" Edward asked immediately.

Even if it is temporarily closed, it is better than running away.

The Death Dragon hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed: "Okay!"

After all, it was they who caused the trouble, so they must solve it themselves.

Not only did this crackdown fail, it also led to even more serious consequences.

Two dragons flew out from Edward's body and began to set up the seal.

Cato slowly woke up at this time. Seeing that only one of the steam soldiers he brought with him was alive, he seemed a little silent.

He did not blame Edward, but was glad that he had discovered the power of the alien demon early, so that the Orei Empire had more time to prepare.

This time the sacrifice was worth it.

"Earl Edward, please stay here. I will go to the Dragon Mountains and ask Grand Duke Lanton to deal with the Demon Castle."

In Cato's opinion, 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 was willing to help with the mess he had caused, he would naturally be very grateful and would not have any other ideas.
