Chapter 336: Chapter 240: The Black Dragon Empire Again?_2
This is a bit tricky.
Looking at the iron men who stood considerably taller than himself, Long Yi thought to himself.
If he used the Void Devourer grenades, once they exploded, they would definitely damage the Giant’s Armored Gauntlet. Long Yi didn’t have enough confidence to test the destructive power of the Void grenades using the Giant’s Armored Gauntlet. In other words, there were no shortcuts.
Well, let’s get ready to fight then!
He still had three Void Devourer grenades in his pocket. He tossed them into his private space.
"Bajie! Dragon Breath Armor!" Long Yi shouted, as molten iron coated his entire body, transforming into the blazing Dragon Breath Armor. Not only could this increase his defensive power, but it could also make him immune to the enemy’s flame attacks.
"Have a taste of my hammer!"
His crystal war hammer soared down from the sky, the Iron Man raised his Giant Armored Gauntlet to block it. With a loud bang, the Iron Man’s legs were smashed into the ground. Then almost at the same time, the Iron Man’s hands smashed into the ground and he popped out!
Damn it!
That bastard!
The war hammer didn’t cause any damage to the Giant’s armor on his arms, and the Iron Man wasn’t injured either! That was total bullshit!
Long Yi immediately swung his war hammer around in a frenzy, but the Iron Giant, having been reduced in size, was incredibly agile. Every single attack from Long Yi was flawlessly blocked by his opponent, who was even faster in response than Long Yi!
"Little Zi! I need help!" Long Yi shouted.
"I’m sorry, Brother Long, I can’t freeze them!" Little Zi, who was on the other side, shouted.
It turned out that Little Zi was trying to use her freezing ability to control another Iron Man, but the Iron Man’s body was crimson red, rendering Little Zi’s freezing attempts useless.
"Switch!"
Long Yi yelled as he turned around and charged towards Little Zi, who passed through Long Yi’s body immediately. Long Yi swung his hammer at the fiery Iron Man. The Iron Man raised his Giant Armored Gauntlet to block it, but with a dull thud, the entire forearm of the Iron Man was ripped off and sent flying, leaving behind a body that collapsed into an unconscious pool of molten iron, slowly solidifying.
And behind him, Little Zi’s freezing had also taken effect, causing the other Iron Man to constantly increase its temperature to resist the freezing. With one swing of his hammer, Long Yi sent the entire forearm carrying the Giant Armor flying.
"Grab them!"
Bajie flew out, grabbing the two still struggling arms and returning.
With two thuds, the heavy arms were thrown on the ground, their fingers still moving constantly.
"I suspect... your core is right here?"
Bajie was holding onto an arm tightly, with its outer layer being the Giant Armored Gauntlet, and its side surface being the blazing hot metal.
Long Yi raised his hand and placed it on the metal, injecting his Giant’s power. Initially, Long Yi thought that once the Giant’s power was injected, the core within would stop struggling.
However, Long Yi had miscalculated.
As soon as the Giant’s power was injected, it was immediately met with a strong counterforce, and what showed up inside was surprisingly mana!
Mana?
"Little Zi!"
Little Zi, the master of magic, immediately followed up and infused mana.
"The core is right here!" Little Zi shouted in surprise.
In an instant, both arms stopped struggling, and two giant cores flowed out with the molten iron.
Long Yi could see, these two cores were completely black, just like a heart.
No! This is a heart! And it’s a Black Dragon’s heart! But that Black Dragon wasn’t very big, it seemed more like a young dragon.
"Is this from the Black Dragon Empire? What in the world are they studying? How did this end up here?"
"This is... Necromancy." Little Zi muttered. "Brother Long, this thing... it seems to have some connection to me..."
"No way?" Long Yi’s eyes widened.
"The core wasn’t naturally formed, it was made by someone. But inside this core, there’s a weird array combination, and it’s the same as the one engraved deep within my soul."
"Well, what’s so weird about that? Don’t we all have two eyes and a mouth?" Long Yi said.
"No, the array combo, on its own, is meaningless. But once a new array is added after this group of arrays, whoever carries these groups of arrays will immediately submit to that person. And within my soul, the new array is already half complete. But within this core, the submission array is complete, but it only contains one command in it."
"It seems that even I was made by the Black Dragon Empire."
"Stop talking nonsense." Long Yi playfully rubbed Little Zi’s little head.
"I’m not, this is the truth."
Necromancy is a method of reviving or controlling dead bodies to fight, allowing the once fallen warriors to rise and serve the nation once more. Because of various public health and ethical issues, necromancy was not accepted by people. Although initial studies were conducted by every country, the research ultimately stopped due to reasons such as epidemic control.
The Black Dragon Empire was the most active of all the countries researching this subject. When the agreement to end research into necromancy was reached, the Black Dragon Empire was the most reluctant. By that time, the Black Dragon Empire had already established a small army composed entirely of undead. At that time, the army consisted of several female demons, dozens of dark knights, and a number of mummified warriors.
Since then, hundreds of years have passed. The study of necromancy has been strictly forbidden, and its related content can only be found in libraries.
If we were to speak strictly, the era when Little Zi was born was the period when necromancy was at its height. Long Yi remembered that Little Zi had said that her hometown had been destroyed by a dragon from the Demon Abyss. And that city was one of the Black Dragon Empire’s cities.
Long Yi looked at Little Zi, this little female demon was always happy. But now, her tiny face was gloomy and her expression was filled with disappointment. Long Yi couldn’t guess what she was thinking about, but he was certain it wasn’t something exhilarating.
"Little Zi." Long Yi said.
"Hmm."
"No matter what you’re thinking about now, just forget about it. When we get a chance, we’ll go see your home together and figure everything out." Long Yi said.
Little Zi was well-behaved and sensible. She nodded her head heavily, she took deep breaths to calm down, even though she didn’t need to.
"Well, let’s take another look at these two Black Dragon hearts." Little Zi said. (To be continued. If you like this story, feel free to cast a recommendation vote and monthly vote on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read the story at m.qidian.com.)
