"It's so heavy! Is this guy a monster?" Jiang Yan muttered silently as he took the lance with both hands.
This flame spear is actually the lance used by the first great guardian Alina. It is more than two meters long and has an extremely solid amber tip. You can imagine how heavy it is.
In the battle just now, Jiang Yan saw with his own eyes that the girl named "Xing" could easily carry out continuous stabbing with a lance in one hand, and could even launch a long-distance charge like a cavalry.
However, when he tried to inject protective power into the lance as he had into his shield, he was pleasantly surprised to find that as the flames ignited at the tip of the lance, the burden of the lance on him gradually became lighter, and soon he was able to successfully wield it.
The consumption is a bit high... Jiang Yan stopped after waving a few times.
Weapons are not like shields. His shield only needs to be injected with power at the moment of rebound to activate the super mini sub-space crystal wall and giant source base. But a thing like a lance cannot be continuously injected with power to launch an attack. Is it possible to kill the enemy by staring at him?
"Let's go, I've finished practicing, let's go in and try it." Jiang Yan, who found that he could not practice for a long time, gave up wasting energy without hesitation and chose to use actual combat to complete the final running-in.
"Practice for a while longer. What if you get injured accidentally?" San Yueqi quickly persuaded Jiang Yan.
San Yue Qi had seen Bronya's fiancé's attack in Luofu. Although his swordsmanship was very good, he obviously did not open the door to his destiny at that time.
In just a few months, even if the strength is further improved, how high can it reach?
Even if I can use the six-phase ice shield to help protect myself, it is not foolproof.
If anything goes wrong, how will I explain to Bronya?
However, the only response she got was Jiang Yan's smile full of fighting spirit:
"Only courage and blood can nurture the seeds of preservation. Since Miss Xing has blazed this trail with her own experience, let me give it another try."
Oops, I'm being entangled by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 32 Hardcore Reprint
In the eyes of others, "Aftersound" is a terrifying space-time disaster. But for Jiang Yan, isn't it just a dungeon?
With the big guys' first-pass strategy, the dungeon is not difficult at all. How bad do I have to be to not get any rewards?
As for the "minor problems" such as being slapped by the creation engine or pierced by an ice spear, Jiang Yan didn't take them seriously at all.
Last time, I risked my life to withstand the sniper of a world-shattering monster, only then did I realize the will to protect. What did this little scene mean in comparison? You're not willing to sacrifice even a hair, and you want to activate the will to protect? Forget it!
Therefore, Jiang Yan not only planned to have a hardcore remake, he even asked Jeppard, Natasha, March Seven and Xing not to rescue him as long as his life was not in danger, and prepared to single-handedly kill the illusion of Cocolia in front of him.
No one was too surprised by Jiang Yan's ruthless actions. After all, this was a hardcore ruthless person who had even come to this planet specifically to volunteer for war for power. It would be strange if he didn't rush forward with enthusiasm to give this opportunity a try.
Since "Aftersound" hadn't exhausted its power yet, and since there was no other way, why not let him try? With so many people who could cover their teammates, could he really die?
So the second battle finally started as a one-on-one duel as Jiang Yan wished.
Looking at the incarnation of the star core will covered with ice crystals, and feeling the imaginary power that was still overflowing even though it was weakened, Jiang Yan was extremely excited.
Wasn't this the reason I came to this planet? What better way to prove I'm on the right path than to ignite the dormant will of "preservation"? What better way to prove my strength than to defeat a villain?
Jiang Yan, who had been losing in martial arts competitions in the Immortal Boat and had been bumping into things while searching for a way out, was completely unable to resist the joy of passing through one narrow door after another, because he had been looking forward to it for too long, and no matter how many times he tried, it would not be enough.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yan swung his spear, and the flame on the amber tip began to burn fiercely. Even the wind and snow covering the sky could not reduce the flame in the slightest. Instead, it melted into rain before it could get close, dripping onto the thick snow.
Faced with this harsh environment of rain and snow where it was almost impossible to see the enemy, Jiang Yan chose the simplest and most direct method: he picked up his lance and used the blazing flame to illuminate the road ahead.
The surroundings? What's so good about it? With a lance, you just need to see the path of the charge!
The next moment, Amber's lance gave Jiang Yan wings of light and flames, and then it erupted violently.
Flame gun, charge!
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Sanyueqi, who wanted to satisfy his director's desire again, never expected that this guy who kept saying that he wanted to recreate the scene at that time would rush into the "Aftermath" and start a team fight without saying a word.
The group had already left, and there was obviously no point in saying anything more. San Yueqi had no choice but to hold the camera and follow the crew members who also looked helpless.
When they passed through the muddy snow field burned by the flames of the fire spear and caught up with Jiang Yan, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
This guy covered in flames had several ice spikes stuck in his body, but he was still as calm as ever. He used his lance to point at Cocolia's icy body, trying to use the flames to open a hole in her chest.
However, before they could get close, Jiang Yan suddenly raised his lance with his right hand, blocking Cocolia's ice cones with the lance. He then took advantage of the momentum to jump back and retreated in front of them, saying:
"Don't need your help yet, it's far from the heart!"
After saying this, as if to prove what he said, the flame spear in Jiang Yan's hand suddenly burst into flames, making the flames on his body like armor even more vigorous. After melting all the ice cones stuck in his body, he raised the spear again, ready to start the next round of charge.
It turned out that the nail hadn't penetrated the body! Seeing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yan's move of using Amber's eternal flame as a shield to resist the enemy's attacks was actually learned from Xing.
In the last battle, when Jiang Yan was carrying a gun and acting as a sniper in the back, he actually didn't fire many shots at all. He was intently learning how Xing used his protective power.
How should I put it...this girl is extremely strong.
Jiang Yan felt really jealous when he saw the other party creating a sea of fire with a sweep and causing a series of huge explosions with a charge.
What kind of power is this? Is there an imaginary power reactor installed in the body?
Jiang Yan, who lacked the power of preservation, obviously could not replicate this move exactly, so he did not hesitate to modify it into a self-torture trick.
Since you can't afford to waste time, just play tricks. No one will continue to set up the tortoise shell formation when seeing an enemy covered in wounds!
So Jiang Yan chose to "protect" those ice cones without hesitation, and with a miserable posture like a hedgehog, he successfully deceived Cocolia's illusion, and hit her hard as soon as they met.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yan wasn't Miss Xing, and didn't have the ability to end the fight with a single blow. While the previous shot had severely damaged Cocolia's phantom, it had also successfully angered her. He watched as she suddenly ascended, a massive sphere of Void Force gradually condensing in her hand. The immense energy released startled Jiang Yan.
What is this? An imaginary force nuclear bomb? Why didn't she use it last time she challenged me? Wasn't it too late?
Looking at the golden energy ball before him, which could still reduce the surrounding area to ruins even with just its "aftermath", Jiang Yan couldn't help but turn around and ask:
"Did she use this move at that time? How did you block it?"
"Well, I thought she was doomed, too. Luckily, the Creation Engine punched her down from the sky, hahaha." March Seven scratched his cheek, slightly embarrassed. Xi'er and Xing, who had participated in that battle, also looked solemnly at Cocolia, who was rising higher and higher above their heads.
Who would have thought that the ultimate move that Cocolia had originally reserved for the last moment would be used right away, right after everyone arrived! And since no one could fly, how could they interrupt it?
Looking at the golden energy ball that was getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Yan, who knew that he was in trouble, really wanted to play the role of dragon knight and do a pole vault to stab her down. But it was obvious that what he had in his hand was a flame spear and not a fire crossbow. Even if he managed to do a dry land onion pulling up an onion, how could it have enough lethality?
Just as he was looking up at the sky, pondering how to break the impasse, he saw Jeppard standing at the front without hesitation, his right hand's marrow glove glowing with an icy blue light, ready to unleash his most powerful Eternal Wall at any moment.
"Everyone, stand behind me!"
Xing snatched Jiang Yan's fire spear without hesitation, waving out a flame, ready to resist the imaginary meteorite that was about to fall from the sky.
But soon, everyone found that this passive defense method could hardly withstand such attacks from the sky.
The initiative was in Cocolia's hands. As long as she kept accumulating this move, could everyone still concentrate all their strength and wait for the other party to attack? If they continued like this, their strength would soon be exhausted.
Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, Jiang Yan's voice suddenly rang out:
"Miss March, add as much shield as possible to me!"
"Mr. Jeppard, build me a bridge with your shield!"
"Miss Xing, please whip me up with the flame spear!"
There was no time to hesitate or think. After holding his breath, San Yue Qi immediately wrapped Jiang Yan gently with strange ice crystals.
Jiang Yan took out Amber's Defense, took a few steps, jumped up suddenly, stepped on Jeppard's giant shield, and with the help of Jeppard's deflection force field, he shot towards the star like a bullet.
At this moment, Xing had already grasped the Flame Spear tightly in both hands, ready for battle. When Jiang Yan arrived, a massive wave of flames blew fiercely on the large shield that was derived from the same source like a violent storm, causing Jiang Yan to fly towards Cocolia like a meteor flying backwards, with a long crimson comet tail.
Passing the ball to a teammate when he couldn't hold on any longer, how could that be considered a defensive move? From the very beginning, Jiang Yan had no intention of asking his teammates to help him block this move.
After looking at the blazing sea of fire created by Xing's wave, he instantly had this crazy inspiration.
Without any calculation or analysis, at this critical moment, Jiang Yan's idea was actually very simple.
He simply believed that Jeppard could provide him with accurate assistance;
He simply believed that Xing possessed enough power to catch even Cocolia's illusion off guard;
He just believed in himself, and that he could definitely open the mini sub-space crystal wall at the most appropriate time and transform all the stored light and flames into a boost for his own take-off!
Fortunately, he did it.
When he successfully adjusted his posture in the air, faced Cocolia, and faced the hastily dropped Creation Scream, only one last thought remained in Jiang Yan's mind:
I absolutely cannot allow my comrades, who trust me completely, to come to any harm. It's just a small ball of imaginary force, right? Watch me pull it back!
If you lack strength, make up for it with will! Sub-void Crystal Wall, open it for me!
At this moment, Jiang Yan, as if a blessing had come to his mind, really felt as if a switch in his body had been turned on.
This wasn't an illusion. Simultaneously with the miniature sub-space crystal wall and the massive attractor's suction force, Jiang Yan was also experiencing an unexpected surge of light and heat. Just as fierce, just as blazing, just as heartwarming as the flame spear, the flame surged out like a tsunami, meeting the "little ball of imaginary force" head-on. In the blink of an eye, it dyed half the sky completely crimson.
The other half of the sky had already been dyed with golden imaginary power, making it impossible to imagine how much terrifying power was contained in this small ball.
At the center of the collision, Jiang Yan had already prepared himself to be blown away by the torrent of energy. However, he soon discovered that the power he could now command far exceeded his previous limits. The immense force seemed to flow smoothly along a clear path, without the need for brute force to control it.
Wait, control? Why should the power of destiny be controlled? Shouldn't it be guided along the right path, just like now?
Just when Jiang Yan had an extremely precious enlightenment, suddenly, a huge iron fist appeared out of thin air and hit Cocolia from behind, nailing her from the sky into the snow alive, turning her into pieces of ice.
Jiang Yan, horrified, instantly broke free from his state of enlightenment. The powerful protective force receded like a tide, and the raging flames on his shield extinguished. A huge sense of weakness suddenly enveloped him. Before he could adjust, he fell from the sky.
"Wow! Help!"
Jiang Yan attempted to use his shield to continue blasting out flames to cushion the blow, but his weakened frame and lack of focus meant his efforts only produced a small flame and a scorching breeze. Just as he was about to make a desperate attempt, ready to forcibly activate the Mini Sub-Space Crystal Wall once again before landing, he found himself in a soft, warm embrace. Zheng Xing, imitating his tactics, leaped high using Jeppard's shield and pulled him into a hug.
"Perfect! This is even more thrilling than when we actually fought. With the ending of the beauty saving the hero, this movie will definitely be a big hit, I say so!" After Jiang Yan and Xing landed, March Seven ran over shouting.
Fortunately, not everyone present had the same weird personality as her. After Natasha gave Jiang Yan some simple treatment and confirmed that he was fine, everyone finally felt relieved and hurriedly pulled Jiang Yan away from the "aftermath" area.
Bronya, who was waiting outside, was shocked to see everyone coming out of the "Aftermath" in such a short time and in such a mess. After some communication, she realized how ruthless Jiang Yan was.
"Please don't do this again next time. 'Aftersound' is not a battlefield worth dying for." Bronya said seriously to Jiang Yan, frowning for a rare moment.
Although triggering internal strife in the Interstellar Peace Company is a good move, even if everything goes well, it is only one of the chips for victory. How can it be worth it for a key figure like Jiang Yan to gamble his life?
"Yeah, next time before you do something like this, please at least think about Bronya."
Natasha was also frightened by Jiang Yan's endless cruel deeds. Even as a former field doctor who was accustomed to the battlefield, Natasha had never seen such a reckless guy. She hurriedly assisted Bronya, hoping that the Great Guardian would pay more attention to him and prevent this benefactor of Beloberg from suddenly killing herself one day.
"I'll pay attention. Thank you so much, Miss Xing, you saved me twice."
It was not until now that Jiang Yan finally recovered and quickly expressed his gratitude to Xing.
Strictly speaking, the seed of protection in this "Aftermath" was actually ignited by Xing and him together. It was because of the burning of their will to protect the shield that they successfully awakened the seed, making this amber's persistence completely become a divine weapon that is no less powerful than the Flame Lance.
If it weren't for the power of the star, Jiang Yan felt that he would have been blown to pieces by that "little ball" and would not have had the chance to die from the fall.
Without waiting for Xing to answer, March Seven said cheerfully:
"We're all friends, so there's no need to be so thankful! I, the director, announce that the short play 'The End of the Cold Wave' has been successfully completed!"
"Hurry, find a warm place with a projector. I can't wait to see the finished film!"
Oops, I've Been Haunted by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 33: Delivering Happiness
In the conference room of Klippelberg, after the short play "The End of the Cold Wave" was finished, warm applause broke out like thunder.
As expected of March 7th who never leaves his camera, he made the short video look like a blockbuster movie, from the flaming spear charge that illuminated the way ahead at the beginning, to the persistence in fighting despite being pierced by ice cones, to the dazzling human baseball cooperation, to the final peak showdown and the huge iron fist across the sky, he did not miss any details, and he even found time to zoom in to capture micro-expressions, which was simply amazing.
"I won't be modest this time. I'm really awesome!"
Having received everyone's recognition in the field he was best at, Sanyueqi proudly raised his chin with an expression that said, "Keep praising me, praise me harder."
Of course, no one was disappointed with this wish. They showered him with praise like "Future star of Clark Films," "Beloberg's annual blockbuster," and "I never knew you had this talent." San Yueqi couldn't suppress her smile. A smile, untainted by wisdom, remained a constant presence on her face.
Soon, the film, which received rave reviews, was passed directly to Ester without any cuts.
A few minutes later, a communication request from Estella rang on Jiang Yan's portable terminal:
"Mr. Jiang, with all due respect, is this information...true?"
When Ester first received the information, she thought Jiang Yan had accidentally sent her some movie clip. Later, when she saw the familiar stars and March 7, she realized that this was the "information" she wanted.
Esther, who has lived in a peaceful environment almost all her life, has never seen such a cruel thing.
Staged? How could a staged photo possibly trigger a miracle?
Really? You guys went out of your way to fight an enemy of this level just to trigger a miracle?
Estelle couldn't figure it out, so she could only ask directly. However, before Jiang Yan could reply, March Seven's face suddenly appeared in the communication terminal:
"Esther, long time no see!"
"Of course this footage is real! We went to find the aftermath of the battle, and I personally filmed their heroic battle. I'm awesome, right?"
As the stationmaster of the Black Tower Space Station, Esther was of course aware of the characteristics of "Aftere" and suddenly realized it. She said happily:
"Great! With this information, I believe Mr. Osvaldo will be able to significantly hinder the Strategic Investment Department's plans!"
