Terraria: Cruel World Legends

……

Deep beneath the jungle—

...After the garrison troops of the God-Seeking Army arrived in Miriast, the campaign army naturally returned home - that is, returned to the Jungle Empire deep underground in the jungle.

After reporting the battle news, the colonel named Slaco announced the disbandment of the army... and the soldiers went back to their respective duties...

…At the same time, in an officers’ dormitory, a figure was walking quickly in the corridor and met the same lieutenant after turning a corner. The latter first instinctively glanced at the other’s shoulder medal, then stood by the wall and saluted.

"Hello, Captain." The lieutenant said lightly.

The captain had no intention of communicating and just walked quickly down the corridor behind the man without exchanging a single word, a single gesture, or even an eye contact.

"It's Captain Yu." After being ignored, the lieutenant murmured, "Only this guy would be so lazy to pay attention to others."

……

The captain, Captain Yu, finally walked into a lieutenant's dormitory. He then went straight to the desk, took a pencil and began to sketch on the paper on the desk, as if he was describing something...

...After hastily drawing a few strokes, he looked at the drawing on the paper while pulling open the desk cabinet, reaching out his hands to take out a small black rectangular box, placing it on the table and opening it, and finally gently taking out an object that looked like a necklace...

What is noticeable is that the necklace holds a "prism", or a prismatic crystal...but since the light in the dormitory is very weak, it is difficult to see the splendor of the prism crystal.

Captain Yu didn't seem to want to look at the colorful beams of light. He just compared the prism on the necklace with the drawing on the paper... It can be seen that he looked very carefully.

"...The outline is very similar..." Captain Yu murmured after looking at it for a moment, then he slowly put away the necklace and gently put it back into the box, but did not cover it. Instead, he picked up the pencil and continued to perfect the drawing on the paper.

...While drawing, Captain Yu was thinking about something. It seemed that he was...trying to draw something from memory...

...After continuing to draw for a while, the object on the paper became more detailed and the details could be seen clearly...It can be guessed that this painting is of a prismatic crystal.

Captain Yu gently picked up the necklace again and compared the prisms on it with the prisms on the paper. It seemed that he looked at each one very carefully...

Then, Captain Yu "expanded" and "spliced" the two in his mind... When he found that the real prism crystal and the painted prism crystal seemed to be able to form a perfect Metatron octahedron together, he remained silent and did not move, almost standing still.

...After a while, Captain Yu slowly put away the necklace, gently put it back into the box and covered it, and finally put the box back into the cabinet.

...After doing all this, Captain Yu picked up the drawing paper again, looked at the drawing on it and muttered to himself:

"I knew it……"

……

1:22 p.m.

After some time, the polar tower that Xiyao had promised to Yongdong was finally built... However, only the outer shell was built.

Actually, this was Yongdong's intention. When Xiyao was taking the construction materials and heading to the polar regions, Yongdong suddenly came and asked to go with him. Xiyao did not refuse, thinking that it would be good to use Yongdong as a guard during the construction process...

When Xiyao finished building the entire outer shell of the tower, Yongdong went up to thank him and said that he would have to construct the interior himself. The outer shell was enough. Xiyao did not refuse, after all, he had a scheduled battle.

...So at this moment, Xi Yao, who had just returned to Dongfang Town, saw Elias, who was guarding the only road west of Dongfang Town. At this moment, he was leaning against the wall, with his left leg bent backwards, fiddling with the cursed pistol in his hand.

After discovering Xi Yao, Elias got out of the wall, waved his hand and chuckled, saying: "Hey, I say, you really made me wait for a "billion" of hours."

"...Okay, come on, I still have things to do after the battle." Xi Yao said.

Elias chuckled as he removed an accessory from the bolt of the cursed pistol. The cursed pistol immediately stopped emitting green fire and the green fire shifted to the removed accessory.

"If it weren't for the sparring, I would have almost forgotten about this thing." Elias said, reaching his hand holding the green fire accessory into the storage pocket on his waist, and then took out another accessory, an accessory that was emitting blazing fire and frost flames.

Then he installed the accessories, and in an instant, the body of the pistol was engulfed by two kinds of fireworks, and was finally divided into two parts of ice and fire.

"This form is suitable for dealing with single, highly mobile opponents, such as when dealing with people." Elias explained, while taking out the accessories that were emitting green flames and showing them off.

"This form is more suitable for dealing with more opponents. It has a high penetration amount and a much faster rate of fire."

"A weapon with alternating forms?" Xi Yao thought of the incomplete environmental blade stored in the void storage space.

"That's about it, but it can only switch between two forms: the Cursed Pistol form for group attacks, with high penetration and fast firing rate; and the Frost Blaster form for single attacks, with fast bullet flying speed and slightly higher damage."

After saying that, Elias raised the "Frost Flame Blaster" and pointed it in an empty direction, then pulled the trigger. Each of the Frost Flame bullets shot out instantly and quickly. Then the Frost Flame Gun paused for more than half a second before firing again.

(Since the Cursed Pistol was replaced by the Frost Blaster in the new version, it was changed to a convertible form. And since the two are in the same period, there is no impact. As for its synthesis formula, it is left blank, please use your imagination (?w?)

"That's it." Elias turned his head and looked at Xi Yao and said.

"Are you so confident that you can demonstrate your weapon's attack method to me?" Xi Yao said with a slight smile on his face.

Elias chuckled and shrugged: "It's just a sparring match, not a life-and-death duel. Why do you care about this?"

Xi Yao didn't say anything else, he just flew vertically upwards, and then small ice cones fell vertically... Then he signaled Elias to follow, and then flew south... Finally, the two landed next to the battlefield.

Elias observed the battlefield with interest: "This design is very bold, and it is quite different from the traditional combat platform... but it seems to be quite functional."

Xi Yao shook his head slightly, then turned his back to Elias and murmured, "Is it starting?"

"Well, but let me tell you..." Elias was halfway through his words when Xi Yao pulled out a giant steel blade out of thin air and quickly turned around to slash at Elias!

Elias obviously didn't realize that Xi Yao would suddenly attack, but now it was too late. Even the Golden Wings couldn't take off instantly, and the horizontal escape distance was only three meters... This attack would cut him in half, and it would take his life...

However, the Destruction Blade stopped abruptly when it was about to hit Elias. Although it still hit him due to inertia, it at least avoided being cut in half.

"Didn't they say the battle had begun?" Xi Yao asked in confusion. At the same time, he retracted the Blade of Destruction with a little force and revealed the void storage space behind him.

Obviously, Xi Yao had just turned his back to Elias to open the void storage space to launch a "flash attack".

“No, buddy…” Elias scratched his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry… Even though he only scratched the Daedalus helmet…

"Just listen to me first, okay?"

Xi Yao put the Destruction Blade back into the void storage space to store potential energy: "You talk, I listen."

"Huh..." Elias took a long breath, "Brother, I must make one thing clear, I will not join you just because you defeat me.

I want to see if you are really strong. Let me see your fighting skills, your every attack, your maneuvering and so on...

In short, if you win, I may not choose to join you; similarly, even if you lose to me, I may choose to join you... It's quite confusing, isn't it? "

"No, I understand. Besides, I have always thought so." Xi Yao said, reaching out and pinching a titanium fragment, which was condensed when the Destruction Blade hit Elias just now.

"Has the battle started?" Xi Yao asked.

Elias became cautious upon hearing this, and immediately stepped back more than ten meters and jumped onto the first platform: "Ahem, then, let's begin."

Seeing this, Xi Yao couldn't help but cover his forehead, then he noticed the gun was aiming at him, and immediately started to sprint and continued to fly... At the same time, Elias on the platform pulled the trigger, and two bullets were fired one after another, only hitting the air behind Xi Yao who was sprinting.

While flying, Xi Yao also opened the void storage space and took out the Destruction Blade. To be honest, it was hard to walk with the giant steel blade, let alone overcome gravity and fly...

In fact, Xi Yao, who was holding the Destruction Blade, did not have much trouble flying, as he had all the necessary mobility... and at this moment, he was flying towards Elias...

Seeing this, Eli immediately understood what the other party meant and ran towards the platform passage.

"I say, you should have a one-handed sword, right? Can you change it?" Elias shouted with a helpless smile and pulled the trigger at the same time.

Xi Yao used the Destruction Blade as a shield to block the bullets: "My one-handed sword can emit sword energy, which will be disadvantageous to you."

"What a joke, can a few sword energy kill someone? If you hit me with your big knife, I will really go to see God!" As he said that, two more bullets were fired.

The Destruction Blade resisted again, and Xi Yao replied: "It's okay, I will control the strength."

"How could I not understand what you mean? You are accumulating gravitational potential energy, waiting to hit me!!" Elias stretched out his other hand and pointed at Xi Yao who was flying in the air.

"Don't worry, you can't die with the Golden Source Soul."

Elias was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses, continued running and aimed at Xi Yao, chuckled and shook his head: "Yes, you should have known it when you saved me... It doesn't matter if you know it, it's not a shameful secret anyway."

Xi Yao also smiled gently: "We don't need to let up in our fight, because it's not just you, I also have that kind of power."

"You also have the Golden Source Soul?" Elias asked in surprise, and then suddenly noticed that Xi Yao was pushing him to the corner of the first platform, so he immediately jumped off the platform and ran in another direction.

"No, but now, there is no need for us to continue chatting."

After saying that, Xi Yao just happened to see Elias jumping off the platform, so he immediately dived down with the Destruction Blade, and then slashed the Destruction Blade fiercely. The blade did not hit Elias directly, but the shock wave knocked him back several meters away.

...If Elias's feet hadn't been firmly planted on the ground, he would have probably flown up like those people who were blown away while playing Glory's End (crossed out)
