Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Tallulah, who was listening to the two's casual conversation, couldn't help but feel a little unhappy with Fan Yu: "I thought we were honest companions. You should have told me about her existence in advance."

What she meant was the [connection] between the two parties, which allowed them to sense each other's thoughts, but she was completely open about it. However, Fan Yu deliberately blurred the existence of the King Slayer, leaving her with no way of knowing.

Fan Yu spread his hands and said politely, "I can't help it. This is the first time I've met her, too."

Tallulah: "What?"

"We previously communicated intelligence through intermediaries, such as the bribed guard at the door," Fan Yu said bluntly.

He didn't continue discussing the topic, instead looking at the densely packed figures in the square below. "Come to think of it, you've put on quite a grand display. Compared to Area 59, this is more than double the size, right?"

"There are still many infected people who respond to us on the way," said Tallulah.

Fan Yu: "So, is this done?"

Tallulah hummed and looked off into the distance. "Once we reach the core city, Chernobog will belong to the Reunion."

Chapter 86 Arrival at the Core City

Fan Yu glanced at Sergei, the city hall official lying on the ground, thoughtfully.

Tallulah's words implied that the key to the core city had been obtained. This surprised Fan Yu somewhat, as they had been very efficient in getting here from Area 59.

"By the way, have you contacted the guerrillas since you returned to the wilderness?" Tallulah asked Fan Yu.

Fan Yu: "Yes, the Patriots have already set off. If we calculate based on the time when the Snow Monster Team and I broke through the city gate, they should have entered the city by now, right? The only thing I didn't expect is that this area has already been resolved."

Looking around the Town Hall Square, many of the guarding troops had been defeated by Tallulah.

In other words, the group of infected people she gathered from Zone 59 in Chernobog is also a force capable of fighting against the troops in Chernobog City.

Tallulah said, "There are many talented people hidden among the crowd."

Fan Yu nodded, then looked towards Frost Star not far away and asked doubtfully, "Isn't the Snow Monster Team here?"

Tallulah shook her head, indicating no.

Frost Star, who was not far away, heard Fan Yu's words and, while dealing with the remaining matters at the entrance of the City Hall, turned around and asked, "Aren't Yangge, Petrova and the others with you?"

Fan Yu: "We split into two paths when we broke through the city gate. They didn't come this way, so they probably went to the core city."

"Let's get ready to head to the core city!" Talulah took over his words.

The matter at the city hall has been resolved, and now she doesn't need to stay here any longer.

The King Slayer, standing on the other side, gave a serious warning: "If you're going that way, remember to take a detour. When I arrived, I saw many soldiers buried many explosive Originium devices around the road."

"Oh?"

"Thank you, Lyudmila."

The King Slayer's pupils flickered a few times on the half of his face that was exposed, then he nodded and walked away.

Fan Yu and others also cleaned up the battlefield in front of them, and went from Talulah to the many infected people in the city hall below to start their next journey.

Soon after, they left from the Town Hall Square with the key to Chernobog Power Core City.

……

night.

The city streets of Chernobyl are brightly lit.

Groups of figures holding electric lights or torches with their Originium skills stood in a mighty force below the core city of Chernobog, blocking the way completely.

The guards stationed here were simply unable to withstand the influx of infected people.

The elite guards, clad in pitch-black armor, stared in horror from beneath their helmets at the mass of figures approaching from the front.

"You're kidding...it's the wee hours of the morning," the elite guards muttered to themselves, feeling the sheer number of people appearing in the core city was unreal. However, seeing it with their own eyes made them believe it.

A large number of infected people appeared here.

The guards didn't have much time to think, as an Reunion operator with a red flaming blade in the crowd slashed with his sword, easily cutting through the isolation fence between the two sides of the blockade with a "chi".

A door opened in front of the infected people, and they rushed in one after another.

The guards of the core city gradually woke up from the cold and lazy atmosphere in the middle of the night. They came to the gate of the fence, raised their sniper rifles powered by Originium, and fired at the infected to stop their advance.

bang bang bang bang bang...

A burst of continuous gunfire hit the other side of the fence.

At the same time, white frost that had risen from the ground instantly condensed in the air, forming an ice wall about 1 meter high, blocking the Originium bullets for the infected.

The guards stationed here, upon seeing this scene, instinctively looked around for the sorcerer casting spells among the crowd of infected people.

Froststar, wearing a Yeti Squad hat, attracted their attention and they immediately pointed their guns at her.

Frost Star stretched out her hand, and ice cones condensed from behind her. As her palms opened, the ice cones were like bullets, automatically attacking the guards in front.

call out!call out!call out!

The ice cones created trails of extremely cold white air in the air, and under the astonished gazes of the guards, they fell on the muzzles of their guns. The cold air froze the sniper rifles, causing all the power conducting the bullets to condense in the pipes.

Before the guards could escape from the extreme cold, Fan Yu and the King Slayer appeared from the other side. They each held their weapons and rushed into the crowd of guards.

The Kingslayer held two daggers in her hands and moved through the crowd like a wolf, her blades slitting the throats of the guards one by one.

"Cut, cut throat..."

A guard in the distance looked at the scene in shock.

The Kingslayer was stunned for a moment, having never expected to earn such a title. However, the blade in her hand did not stop moving.

Fan Yu, who was standing aside, smiled subtly but said nothing.

He silently enhanced the [Harmony] attribute for everyone and walked towards the top of the stairs in the core city.

There, the back of Tallulah, dressed in military uniform, was already walking forward, sword in hand.

The warlocks in black and red robes had been waiting there for a long time and worked together to create a shield force field, blocking Tallulah's possibility of moving forward.

She unleashed her own Drake flame to burn the shield in front, but those warlocks in cloaks seemed to have endless energy to maintain the power of the shields burned by the flames and did not move at all.

Kick, kick!

Fan Yu walked up the stairs and came close to Tallulah with the sound of footsteps, staring at the barrier leading to the core city gate in front.

"This is the last step." Fan Yu said slowly.

Tallulah denied it, saying, "Yes, the key is here, but there are still enemies to be dealt with."

She looked solemnly at the enemies in front of her. A large number of warlocks were almost all gathered in the core city. Through those warlocks, she could also see several nobles in gorgeous clothes.

Obviously, after they captured the Chernobyl City Hall, the city's top leaders had begun to mobilize and gathered powerful forces here.

Among the sorcerers, a cloaked man whispered, "Tallulah Atrias, Duke Kosciuszko shaped your life, but you have only brought a boring farce to Ursus!"

Tallulah frowned. "What?"

"Reunion Movement, the home of the infected? Retreat. We can't leave Chernobog's core power plant to you!"

Chapter 87: Flames Destroy Everything

The warlock's words were flat and emotionless.

Tallulah slowly raised the sword in her hand and responded with her own actions.

She drew her sword, and the flames burned the iron ground beneath her feet, bringing with them the smell of sulfur. The flames of burning matter emerged from her weapon, transforming into a flaming sword, and then Tallulah slashed forward.

Whoosh!

Flames poured out, covering the spell protection area set up by the warlocks in front.

In contrast to her previous motionless position on the barrier, the flames that Tallulah condensed again shot out from the blade, as if compressing all the temperature to an extreme, opening a gap in it, but it was quickly filled by the energy released by the warlock.

"Your growth is remarkable, but fire, which burns matter, cannot destroy our spells," the whispering warlock said calmly.

Deep black and red energy flickered in the air and appeared at the end of the stairs. They used the spell energy generated by the hands of every warlock in front of their sight to form a perfect form that overlapped and supported each other.

Talulah unleashed her own blazing fire, rushed forward in one leap, and slashed vertically with the flaming cross sword in her hand, directly chopping the object.

Ding!

"It's no use," the warlock said coldly.

Tallulah looked at this scene and said thoughtfully, "Are you the court sorcerers of the capital of the Ursus Empire?"

The warlock, wearing a black and red cloak, looked visibly stunned, then responded calmly, "That's not the case."

"It doesn't matter." Tallulah looked ahead indifferently.

She took a deep breath and ignited the flame in her hand again.

Flames emerged from mid-air in her palm, quickly changing from orange-red to deep red, and there was even a faint fluctuation that distorted space.

The sorcerers who observed this scene instinctively froze in surprise: "This..."

It's not like they haven't seen Draco's flames before.

When the Victoria Empire and Ursus were at war, the golden glow of Aslan (lion) and the fire of Drake (dragon) would often appear on the battlefield. Even though there are not many Drakes on the Terra continent today, there is a Drake in the Victoria Empire who has the blue-purple fire to control the corpses of the dead.

But they had never seen a flame transform for a Draco like Talulah, who had already been defined by them.

"...Huh." Tallulah let out a long breath, and some sweat beads appeared on her forehead.

Watching the result of the flames rising between her palms, she could still feel a burning sensation even though it was controlled by her own magic.

This was a flame she rarely used.

It was only after she [connected] with Fan Yu, and as her physical abilities were enhanced every day, giving her enough physical strength, that Tallulah began to try some new possibilities for the use of her own spells.

These flames, compressed to the extreme, have the effect of increasing their temperature to a point where they accelerate the burning of matter to its annihilation.

The next second, Tallulah waved the flame in her hand and aimed it at the void in front of her.

As Tallulah's staff touched the void, a semicircular fan-shaped stream of fire emerged directly in front of her.

The instantaneous diffusion movement generated by the flames compressed to the extreme instantly ignited the magic shield along the way.

Kakakaka——!

The magic barrier constructed by dozens of imperial sorcerers briefly blocked the flames for less than a breath, and then shattered into countless fragments. Before those fragments could float down in the air and dissipate, they were swallowed up by the flames on the spot and turned into nutrients.

“How is it possible…?!”

The imperial sorcerers who saw this scene were filled with shock under their black and red cloaks.

"Even spells can be destroyed in an instant."

Only they themselves know how strong the defense of this field magic barrier maintained by dozens of people is. There is no doubt that the barrier built by dozens of them going to the battlefield is enough to block the spells on the battlefield for a day and a night.

This is not a collision of energy at all, but a higher level of Originium skill.

Tallulah's flames, however, seemed to shatter even the very laws of concepts. They had never heard of Drake on the continent inheriting such power: fire that controlled the undead, fire that healed others, including Tallulah's fire that burned matter.

However, Tallulah's incineration material had clearly undergone an unusual transformation at this stage. They didn't know whether Tallulah had awakened Draco's hidden bloodline, or whether the extreme expression of the compressed incineration material had caused the flames to undergo a qualitative change from a quantitative change...

They didn't even have time to react before the flames shattered the magic barrier and enveloped their bodies.

The sleeves of several warlocks standing in front were corroded by the flames and quickly turned into ashes in mid-air. They then tried to build a defensive barrier, but they were unable to stop the spread of the flames.

The bodies of the sorcerers were turned into charcoal on the spot.

There were no screams, no calls, and even all defenses became meaningless under the flames.

The flames destroyed everything within the realm, whether it was matter or the magical power unleashed by the warlocks, all were annihilated.

A gust of night wind blew up from the field, and the charcoal turned into ashes, flying and scattering into the distance.

The warlocks at the rear who had not yet been exposed to these things instinctively retreated to avoid them.

"What……"

"This spell goes against common sense."

They tried to retreat, but Tallulah's flames followed them like a shadow. When the flames approached, many warlocks felt as if they could hear endless whispers from the flames.

Ancient voices echoed in their ears and minds, and the corrosive spiritual field caused their consciousness to fall into chaos. They had no time to cast spells, and then the three warlocks turned to ashes on the spot.

Before dying, a warlock looked at Tallulah in horror: "No... There is no such thing in Draco's flame. Something is wrong with you."

In Draco's flames, there may be the wails of the dead and the warmth of healing.
