Imperial Crown.

Chapter 93: Steel vs. Sand

Three fireworks flashed in the sky, illuminating the snowy earth.

For a moment, the shouting and killing became more intense!
Whether you are from the Scorpion Nest or not, you all clearly know what fireworks represent.

This means the Scorpion Nest is under attack.

All the soldiers of the Eagle Army had only one thought at this moment -

Catch these horse thieves!

Now that the Baron has already broken into the Scorpion's Nest, once he has complete control of the Scorpion's Nest, the Eagle Army will be victorious!
Heleti on horseback understood this better than anyone else, but he did not show any panic.

After solving this problem, Eric can go back in time!

The warhorse continued to accelerate, and yellow sand and fighting spirit flowed out from Helaiti's palm like a snake, entwining the surface of the spear and surging endlessly, tempting the spear's own enchanted power. Amid the humming sound, it seemed as if the power of a sandstorm was compressed inside!
This is Heleti’s second combat skill: “Sandstorm Attack”!
At the same time, Eric put up an enchanted steel shield, and the surging silver steel fighting spirit wrapped around the surface of his body, strengthening the enchanted plate armor on his body, making it thicker and tougher. All the gaps were filled and smoothed, leaving only holes on the visor for him to peek into the outside world.

Even the weapons in his hands became increasingly huge. The enchanted steel shield was as big as a door panel, and the original enchanted long sword had turned into a terrifying weapon that was nearly a person tall and half a meter wide!
From the outside, he is no longer a human being, but a golem made of steel!

No words were needed. The moment their eyes met, the spear in Heleti's hand went straight to Eric's face, but was blocked by the steel shield.

Shine——

The tip of the gun hit the shield, and a sound like an electric saw cutting steel was heard.

Yellow sand and fighting spirit rushed out and hit the shield. The originally dense steel fighting spirit was blown away like thin snow. Hundreds or thousands of scratches suddenly appeared on the mirror-like surface. Fine iron filings flew densely like petals and were wrapped in the rolling yellow sand. The heat brought by the friction even made Eric feel a burning pain!
The next moment, the fighting spirit on the spear flew away and turned into a sand and dust tornado, wrapping Eric's whole body!
Intensive noises arose, gravel cut the armor, and dense sparks exploded one after another!

The two war horses passed each other.

Just when Heleti thought he had dealt with the Eagle Army commander, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from behind him.

Helaiti quickly turned around and held up his gun to block.

Eric, who was surrounded by the sandstorm, actually had the energy to turn around and smash the steel shield in his hand!

With a clang, the shield was blocked by the spear. The tremendous power contained in it made the spear suddenly bend like a bow. The power was transmitted along the spear shaft to Helaiti, making his hands numb!

Helaiti's heart tightened.

What a strength!
However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.

Eric suddenly took a deep breath and shouted:
"Let me go——"

The silver fighting spirit shone brightly around Eric. He punched his chest hard, and the fighting spirit collided with each other, creating a dreamy silver light. Then the silver fighting spirit burst out from his body like starlight!
The yellow sand whirlwind suddenly dissipated under the impact of the silver light, and the wind it brought swept away the snow within ten meters around, revealing the yellow-brown ground.

Eric shook his head, slowly turned his horse's head, raised his sword provocatively at Heleti, and used the hilt of the sword as a hammer to hit his shield.

Heleti had also turned around at this time. Facing Eric's provocation, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely. A surge of anger rose in his heart. He no longer had any contempt for Eric, but was instead filled with strong vigilance.

Being able to disperse his own fighting skills purely by relying on his fighting spirit, this Eric is definitely not an ordinary second-level transcendent!

"Scorpion Guard, attack!!"

Heleti gave a loud order and spurred his horse to rush towards Eric again!

The spear was deflected by the giant sword, and the yellow sand fighting spirit and the steel fighting spirit reflected each other and exploded into a ball of silver-yellow glow.

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of heavy horse hooves, the first Scorpion Guard rushed from behind Eric.

The warhorse accelerated to its maximum speed, with the sound of whistling wind beside his ears. The scorpion guard leveled the enchanted spear that was emitting blue fluorescence and aimed it at Eric's lower back.

Even enchanted plate armor would be penetrated by such an impact!

However, at the moment when the gun tip pierced the target, the silver light of the armor behind Eric rose up, emitting a mirror-like luster.

With a ding sound, the enchanted lance stabbed forward, just like a steel needle stabbing into a steel plate, leaving no mark and failing to even shake Eric's body.

The silver steel fighting spirit had already rushed up along the lance, iron chips flew wherever it passed, enchanted runes lit up and then collapsed one after another, and the violent vibration swept through, even making the scorpion guard's plate armor tremble.

The fighting spirit spread along the gun to the body of the Scorpion Guard. With the teeth-grinding sound of metal twisting and bone cracking, his entire arm armor was twisted into a knot. Hot blood and broken flesh oozed out from the cracks in the armor, and he fell off his horse with a scream!

"Mirror Shield!?" Eugene in the distance widened his eyes, his tone full of disbelief: "His control of fighting spirit is so exquisite!?"

In his opinion, Eric's behavior was as outrageous as eating with his butt.

Just as he was marveling at the thought, the second Scorpion Guard had already rushed behind Eric. This time he had learned from the lesson of the man in front of him and let go of his hand the moment the lance hit Eric, letting it bounce off. At the same time, he held the enchanted scimitar in his left hand and chopped Eric's neck directly.

Eric had already turned the horse halfway, and he swung the enchanted long sword in his right hand, wrapped in steel fighting spirit, and with a clang, the weapon in the scorpion guard's hand broke into two pieces. The sword penetrated the enchanted plate armor like cutting into butter, and then came out from the back, bringing with it a few drops of blood and cutting the whole person in two.

The scorpion guard's head fell to the ground with half of its shoulder, and blood rained down on Eric, but was shaken into a cloud of blood mist by the fighting spirit.

The third Scorpion Guard followed.

Eric changed direction and took the initiative to attack with his sword.

The sword cut through the air, and the Scorpion Guard grabbed the reins and flexibly hid beside the warhorse. He thought he could escape, but Eric suddenly kicked the warhorse under his crotch without any moral ethics!

With the blessing of iron fighting spirit, the combat boots were as heavy as a hammer. With a kick, even with the vest blocking the horse, the horse's ribs were still broken. The broken bones pierced into its internal organs, causing it to fall to the ground with a wail, and its master was also crushed on top of it.

Then Eric spurred his horse and began the charge.

The steel shield blocked the stab, the long sword cut off the head, and another scorpion guard lost his life at his hands.

Heleti's eyelids were twitching wildly. The two confrontations just now made him realize that Eric was not weak, but he did not expect the latter to be so strong!

Although both of them are from the Iron Legion, Eugene is simply a waste compared to Eric!

Helaiti shuddered violently, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

If Eric, who was responsible for luring the enemy, had this ability, then the enemy who attacked the Scorpion Nest...

Can't drag it any longer!
Once the scorpion nest is really captured, the consequences will be disastrous.

But he can't leave now. If he lets Eric stay here, no one will be able to match him!
In that case, even if he took back the scorpion nest, he would probably be left alone.

"Get out of the way!" With a loud roar, Heleti urged his mount and galloped towards Eric with his spear in hand.

The life of an ordinary horse thief is worthless, but the death of a Scorpion Guard is one less!
At the end of the Sandstorm Spear, another third-order magic core exploded, and a gentle light shone on the spear shaft. However, this light made Eric inexplicably frightened when he saw it!

The spear was dragged behind the horse, leaving a trail of sand on the ground. Then, with the trail as the center, the ground turned into rolling flowing sand, following the tip of the spear like a living thing.

There was only a little at the beginning, but as the horses galloped, the sand and soil following the tip of the gun became more and more numerous and thicker, making a rumbling sound and raising billowing smoke and dust, making it seem as if there were thousands of troops following Heleti!

When the two were less than five meters apart, Heleti raised his spear.

Behind him, a large piece of the ground suddenly collapsed, and the disappeared part was completely pulled up high by Helai along with the tip of the gun, covering the sky and the sun!

Under the influence of fighting spirit, the surging yellow sand condensed into a wide, sharp blade more than ten meters long, and then chopped down at Eric's head!
Martial arts: "Sand Wave Blade"!
Eric took a deep breath, and his fighting spirit surged, as if a layer of silver flames was burning in his body. He raised his shield high and rushed forward!
The warhorse under Eric let out a scream, blood spurted out of its mouth and nose, and its limbs were broken and it was crushed to the ground.

Ignoring the wailing of the warhorse under him, Eric straightened his body and held the shield with both hands to resist the blow. However, the blade made of yellow sand still cut through the shield bit by bit!
Silver light exploded.

"what--"

The steel shield broke into two halves, and Eric roared like a tiger and rushed forward with both fists!
The blade shattered at this moment, but it did not lose its power. Instead, it turned into a surging sand wave that washed over Eric's body.

Like a stone eroded by wind and sand, the armor on Eric's body first became bumpy, and then became thinner and thinner!
Even the iron fighting spirit is completely unable to contain it!

With a hissing sound, the armor was torn by the sand waves like brittle paper, and the cotton lining turned into cotton wool, revealing the silvery-white body inside.

With the blessing of iron fighting spirit, Eric's skin is as hard as steel.

As the sandstorm became stronger and stronger, a layer of white marks first appeared on Eric's skin, and then were worn away layer by layer, revealing flesh and blood, and rubbing bones!
"what--!!!"

Even Eric could not endure the pain of being cut into pieces. He let out a painful roar like a wild beast, and his fighting spirit suddenly collapsed. Then he was lifted up by the wind and sand and thrown more than ten meters away.

With a plop, Eric's body fell to the ground. Blood flowed into a pool under him, staining a large area of ​​snow red.

Helaiti slowly stopped his horse, breathing rapidly, obviously because of the heavy blow he had just taken.

Ignoring Eric lying on the ground, Heleti turned his horse around and raised his spear:
"Eugene!"

Eugene, whose name was called, ran over quickly: "Lord King of Sand!"

Helai raised his voice and ordered: "This battlefield is yours. I don't want any prisoners or survivors. Kill everyone!"

"Scorpion Claw Guard, follow me back to the male scorpion nest to help!"
