Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

He continued to move backwards, feeling a chill penetrating into his bones but unable to move at all.

By the time he realized something was wrong, a cold breeze blew past Tallulah's eyes, and a sharp golden blade flashed before his eyes.

The patrol captain was stunned for a moment, and a feeling of pain came over him.

A severed arm fell to the ground with a thud. A large amount of blood flowed down the severed limb. The patrol captain, having regained consciousness, suddenly contracted his pupils.

"Uhhhhhh-!"

With a scream of pain, he didn't even bother to control Faust to restrain Tallulah, and hurriedly covered his arms.

Faust's figure was freed from his restraints. He looked up at the person who appeared and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fan Yu."

Fan Yu waved his hand, signaling him to run behind him. Faust was also very obedient, silently responding and following Tallulah.

In the field.

The patrol captain covered his broken arm and gasped for breath, with fear and anger in his eyes.

He raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "You shameless..."

"Shameless?" Fan Yu looked at the other person calmly: "Do you think there's a fair duel between us?"

Frost Star, who was not far away, echoed the response. The magical energy she controlled quickly solidified the blood, allowing the low temperature to affect people's thinking.

Fan Yu did not give the other party any chance at all, to prevent him from having any healing magic ability. The golden and white sword in his hand stabbed into the heart of the patrol team captain.

puff!

The golden-white sword blade, with its surface automatically covered by high temperature, penetrated into the patrol captain's body, easily penetrated the armor's defense and went straight to the heart, bringing up a trail of burnt white smoke.

The patrol captain's body straightened noticeably, and blood from the corner of his mouth seeped from under his helmet and flowed down to his neck.

At this moment, he seemed to have been drained of his vitality. He didn't even have the thought of cursing. His body collapsed all of a sudden, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Dead." Tallulah stepped forward to confirm.

Fan Yu retracted his weapon: "Of course."

Rather, even with Faust's hostages, Tallulah, Froststar, and Vanyu himself, if the three of them couldn't take down an Imperial patrol captain, then there was no point in fighting for anything.

Tallulah nodded and agreed to the result.

However, she was previously unable to move freely because of the restrictions of Faust being a hostage. Now, after the death of the patrol captain, her eyes have fallen on the team members wearing black uniforms.

The empire's soldiers also had horror on their faces at this moment.

They subconsciously prepared to flee the village and turned around as if to look for reinforcements.

However, in this brief moment, their legs seemed to become unresponsive. A piercing cold air extended from the soles of their feet, making them unable to move.

The patrol members wore fearful masks. "Wait, don't kill us... The monsters from the Emperor's Blade are coming. Leave us behind, and we can make them return..."

puff!

The sound stopped here.

Chapter 45: The Emperor's Blade

The slender sword pierced through the patrol member's body without hesitation.

Tallulah looked at him indifferently and drew her sword.

With a crackling sound, blood dripped from the tip of the pulled sword. The patrol member whimpered in his throat and fell to the ground with convulsions.

This scene began, and under Tallulah's command, an overwhelming massacre began in the direction of the village entrance.

Flame, frost, golden lightsaber...

In the battles that have emerged among the infected groups over the past few months, the three most common colors have once again appeared.

Frost Star unleashed a frost on the field, condensing the body heat and movement speed of the patrol members. Unable to withstand it, they were instantly frozen into ice sculptures and cut down by Fan Yu's lightsaber. Those who could evade were also restricted in their movement and were slashed and charred into a mass of black charcoal by Tallulah's blade. Countless white vapors of water and ice emerged from them, rising into the field.

Tallulah's attack was even more direct. The flames were like her passion, spreading endlessly in all directions starting with herself.

The enemies that approached could clearly feel the power in her body that seemed to burn even the air. The red dragon fire was like the angry roar of the infected who had been oppressed for a long time, annihilating the oppressors of these patrol teams and devouring everything they had.

Fan Yu's battle in the field was simple. He manipulated the golden sun emblem on the back of his hand, and the released golden light resonated with the source stone spell energy in the atmosphere, amplifying the battle between Talulah and Frost Star, spreading the temperature of the ice and fire they respectively unfolded, and expanding the scope of the field.

They also sensed this and glanced behind them inadvertently.

"Stop slacking off and come help me, Ra!" Talulah raised her eyebrows, feeling dissatisfied with Fan Yu's behavior of being a supporting role behind him despite having the strength of a guard.

Froststar said seriously, "What's wrong with that, Talulah? At least this way we can kill more enemies."

Compared to Tallulah's idea of ​​wanting to find a home for the infected and having to fight against the imperial pursuers, Froststar's idea of ​​joining them is much purer.

She agrees with Tallulah's ideals because she herself is an infected person, and under that premise, she is a vested interest.

But it was also a fact that her biological family was destroyed by the soldiers of the Ursus Empire when she was young, so she had even less mercy for these soldiers.

Fan Yu didn't listen to what they said, and the sun emblem in his hand continued to be released in the field.

His vision unfolded into the perspective of [Harmonious Bliss]. Through the star core energy radiating from his body combined with the magical power of the two, he could clearly see the layers of wavelengths symbolizing red (flame) and white (ice) rising like tides.

This was not the first time Fan Yu had seen such a scene. Ever since Frost Star became the target of [Connection] for a few months, he sometimes liked to see this scene during battles.

This is like a connection, and it also seems like a new resonance brought about by the power of the [Star Core] after being intertwined with the alien civilization system. To this day, Fan Yu still enjoys it.

He silently manipulated the power of the star core, driving the two women to display the amplification of the power of ice and fire, spreading deeper into the cedar forest.

Until sometime...

The speed at which Fan Yu extended and spread due to the two forces suddenly stopped.

His brows couldn't help but frown, and he subconsciously looked towards the depths of the pine forest ahead.

Frost Star was behind him and keenly noticed the change on Fan Yu's face. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"

Fan Yu stared ahead: "What will completely block your magical power?"

Frost Star was stunned, and subconsciously said, "To counter spells and Originium techniques, the only way to counter them is to use two identical forces, right? Could there be some other element?"

It was as if she and Tallulah didn't have the same innate qualities, but if she increased her magical energy, the frost would engulf the flames. If it was Tallulah's first time unleashing fire like that, the flames would completely liquefy the ice she had cast, eventually vaporizing it into mist.

After hearing Frost Star's answer, Fan Yu was thoughtful. The energy wavelength released in front was blocked once, but it was not ice and fire, but a black granular substance.

This substance was unlike any spell or Originium technique Brahma had seen in the months since arriving on Terra. It seemed like a completely different force, detached from the conventional power of Terra, yet deeply embedded within the magic.

It's like the power released by the [Star Core] brought by Fan Yu can react at a frequency that resonates with the Originium technique.

Just as Fan Yu was observing the black fog, a halberd was suddenly projected from the depths of the forest. The weapon was wrapped in a layer of black fog and appeared very clear against the snow-white ground.

Black smoke filled the air, and even the airflow in the atmosphere seemed to be stagnant.

Its attack was directed precisely towards Frost Star. When the halberd's blade entered the five-meter range, particles of black mist instantly enveloped all energy and material flows in the surrounding atmosphere.

Frost Star's pupils shrank instinctively: "This..."

She could clearly feel that the transmission speed of the magical power she released was slowing down.

Her own body movements became clumsy, as if filled with lead. At this moment, she even felt as if her brain was stuck, as if her thoughts had stagnated.

Was she careless?

She subconsciously wanted to say something, but the attack was about to arrive, and she couldn't even remind him. She could only watch the blade at the tip of the halberd sweep towards her.

Five meters, four meters, three meters...

When the halberd struck, Froststar's instincts unleashed their magical power, and ice formed beneath her feet. All the strength that had once powered her spells instantly now slowed to a crawl.

Froststar stared ahead, black mist particles covering everything within its field of vision, except for the halberd blade it carried, which was out of control.

With her mind already slowing down, perhaps reality had only passed in a split second.

"I--" Frost Star opened her mouth.

This black fog...

There is also this power.

Froststar thought of what the old stubborn man (the patriot) had said, and what Tallulah had mentioned about pursuing the enemy...

They are the shadow power of the Ursus Empire, the inner guards directly under the new emperor, disguised as northern demons - [Emperor's Blade]

Chapter 46: Red Dragon Fire that Burns Matter

The ice at her feet extended to Froststar's boots, but the halberd was less than a meter away, and she could see that her strength was no longer enough to stop what was in front of her.

At that moment, several images flashed through Frost Star's mind: the time when he was picked up by the old stubborn man as a child, when he and Petrova formed a snow monster team, and when they moved across the frozen snowfields, when he met Tallulah and Little Sun (Fan Yu) and fought independently together. And so on...

It was beautiful, but seemed so short-lived.

Ding!

The sound of metal colliding suddenly interrupted Frost Star's thoughts and brought her back from her memories.

In his sight, he saw a sharp blade with golden glow thrown from the side, and the shining light almost swallowed up Frost Star's entire field of vision.

After the sharp blade appeared, it collided directly with the attacking halberd, knocking the halberd that was about to hit Frost Star in the face off its position.

The halberd's original diameter suddenly changed to an oblique direction, shifting from the fatal trajectory of the head to the side of Frost Star's face. With a tearing sound, the halberd scraped off Frost Star's cloak in front of her face, and a strand of hair fell to the snow behind Frost Star, where it stood.

Frost Star regained consciousness from her shock and stared blankly ahead. As the halberd shifted, the thick black fog that had enveloped Frost Star vanished.

The state of slow thinking, the body seemed to have difficulty exerting strength, and the feeling of cold gradually subsided.

"Thank you, little sun." Frost Star said to Fan Yu sincerely.

Fan Yu walked up to Shuang Xing and waved his hand: "Instead of thanking me, you should be more careful."

Frost Star rolled her eyes at him, but did not deny what Fan Yu said.

She had indeed been careless in the face of the Emperor's Blade's sudden attack. For a sorcerer to be so defensively incapable of resisting a sudden attack was truly a disgrace.

However, Frost Star was also deeply afraid of the black mist revealed by [Emperor's Blade]!

This answer was more difficult than I had expected.

Frost Star cast his gaze towards the depths of the forest ahead. In the snow, the figure of the [Emperor's Blade] guard, wrapped in black armor and wearing long boots, slowly walked out.

His... or rather their appearance, accompanied by particles of black matter eroding the real white snow, naturally shrouded the venue in an ominous black fog.

"Inner Guards!" When Talulah saw the sharp blades of the two emperors, her face showed an unprecedented solemnity.

Emperor's Blade: "Tallulah Atrias. After months of searching, I finally found your trace."

The inner guards' voices were unnaturally hoarse, and the black mist that occasionally flowed around their bodies gave people an extremely uncomfortable feeling, as if they were just some kind of monsters wearing human-shaped armor.

Tallulah snorted, "I have nothing worth pursuing, hounds of the new emperor."

The Emperor's Blade: "The Empire lost a duke, and it was Draco who killed you. Although you were adopted by Koschei from Longmen, Yan Country, many nobles cannot help but think that this is a signal from Wei Yanwu of Longmen..."

Tallulah raised her brows: "Don't mention that name to me!"

“…” The Emperor’s sharp blade was silent for a long while and really didn’t continue speaking.

However, the black mist emanating from them began to rise automatically. The inner guard who had previously attacked Frost Star, using the black mist to lift and hold, automatically condensed a long, narrow scimitar in his hand and stabbed it straight towards Tallulah.

The inner guard swung a slash, and a large amount of black dust particles filled the air, and even the air condensed and became sluggish in an instant.

"These 'bugs' again?" Tallulah said solemnly.

insect……

This is what Tallulah often said to her grandmother in the village.

Tallulah knew the secrets of the Emperor's inner guard when she was Kosciuszko's adopted daughter. Although Kosciuszko made her learn the red tape and the ways of the upper class, she also discovered many unknown secrets of the empire through this knowledge.

In fact, these dense black mists that resemble insects have an official name - [Country].

It is the power brought by the fragments of the northern demons fused under the armor of the inner guards, and it has a very terrifying and strange power.

"But I am no longer as weak as I once was."

Faced with such a strange attack, Tallulah did not hesitate at all. She ignited Draco's red dragon fire in her hand and burned the attacking inner guards.

Her magical power penetrated into the black fog, making a hissing sound, as if two types of magical energy collided and overlapped with each other.

Bang!

The attack exploded in mid-air, and Tallulah detonated the magical substances she manifested in the atmosphere, trying to wipe out the encroaching black fog from the world.

A large gust of blazing wind, carrying a fiery red light, rose from the field, causing the emperor's sharp blade to freeze.
