Chapter 129: Heaven has a road, but you don't take it (two chapters in one)
Just now, it was this thing that blocked Ryan's quick chop.
Although Ryan's sword did not accumulate power in pursuit of speed, normally, as long as the opponent is not wearing plate armor, but chain mail, thick leather armor, etc., Ryan's sword will break it.
In addition, judging from the state of the opponent after being hit, it seems that he was not injured by the pyroxene weapon "Glimmering Greatsword".
This situation has never been encountered among the previous Black Flame Monks, and Ryan couldn't help but stare.
And the giant sickle Black Flame Monk raised his head for the first time at this moment, revealing a pale handsome face under the hood. Judging from his age, he seems to be only about twenty years old.
Ryan's eyes moved slightly, wondering if the opponent is really this age, or if it is the effect of some kind of evil magic.
"Young man, good talent, but let's stop here!" A wicked smile suddenly appeared on the opponent's pale face.
As soon as the voice fell, the opponent's figure suddenly changed!
The black robe suddenly swelled up, like a balloon that was fully inflated. It continued to be inflated, and the next second, it exploded.
After a "bang!" sound, a gray-white waisted robe was revealed inside!
But as soon as this dress appeared, Ryan's pupils shrank!
Because he had excellent eyesight, he had already discovered the strangeness of the other party's clothes!
At this moment, he saw at least six or seven distorted faces on the other party's gray-white waisted robe, with painful and hideous expressions, and judging from the age of these faces, they seemed to be children in their teens.
In other words, this is a gray-white waisted robe made of multiple pieces of human skin.
"Damn, it's really a cult, so cruel!" Ryan cursed in his heart.
He figured out the purpose of the Black Flame Cult instigating gangsters to kidnap children.
Maybe the other party's purpose is not that simple, but obviously, this is definitely one of the purposes.
Moreover, the opponent's robe must have undergone some special "processing", and it is definitely not just tanning that can have such an effect, because after Ryan's big sword hit it just now, it was difficult to cut it.
But the opponent's revealing this terrifying robe is only the first step.
I saw that the opponent's body suddenly began to grow wildly, from about 1.9 meters to 2.2 meters.
And this process is still continuing!
The opponent is just growing taller, pure growth, not like when Ryan burst out with all his strength, his body size has become two circles larger.
2.4 meters.
2.6 meters.
Ryan looked at this scene and was stunned!
Anyone who looks at his original opponent suddenly changed from 1.9 meters to 2.6 meters, how can he not be stunned?
Ryan only felt that his enemy was almost like Xiao Si suddenly became Dayao!
This. Are you made of rubber?
At this moment, the opponent's two-meter-long two-handed weapon-the giant sickle, was held by the right hand alone. Well, the two-handed long-handled weapon became a one-handed weapon.
"Whirlwind Cut!"
The opponent rotated the giant sickle vertically with one hand, like a large vertical electric fan, and instantly blew up a black and gray whirlwind, attacking Ryan!
This time Ryan did not choose to resist rashly. Although he had the extraordinary characteristic "Iron Skin lv2", he did not want to take the opponent's moves that were obviously similar to secret skills.
If the "Iron Skin" was accidentally broken, then...
So Ryan immediately rolled sideways and quickly dodged.
The black and gray whirlwind directly brushed Ryan and attacked the back, instantly cutting several fleeing town residents behind Ryan into pieces of meat, and burning black flames!
Ryan frowned. After the opponent transformed, his attack methods were more diverse and weird!
This was obviously not a physical attack, but a mixture of some mysterious energy!
But just when Ryan thought that he had dodged the opponent's attack by rolling sideways.
Suddenly, the lv3 level of danger perception gave him a crazy warning! At the same time, Ryan also noticed a cold light in the corner of his eyes, which was like lightning and slashed towards his face.
Ryan immediately raised the glimmering giant sword to block it horizontally!
"Dang!"
Sparks flew everywhere!
Ryan was instantly knocked four or five meters away!
"Shit! The opponent's strength has also increased!"
At this time, Ryan's eyes suddenly widened, as if he saw something incredible!
The opponent's body had just become two meters and sixty, which was already very long, but now it was twelve meters and sixty! ! !
The waist of the giant sickle black flame monk was like a ten-meter-long python, and the whole person looked indescribably weird and terrifying!
The key point here is that this ten meters is a real reference, not a virtual reference.
The previous attack was because the opponent's waist was really like plasticine, stretched to ten meters, and then the upper body reached Ryan's position, and took advantage of the situation to slash the sickle at him.
Just when Ryan was still shocked, he saw the opponent's waist contract again, like a spring, driving the lower body from the original place to the attack point.
"Damn, this cultist is so weird, is he still a human?"
"Rubber man Luffy?"
"What a snake waist!"
Ryan cursed in his heart.
Jenny, who was nervously watching the battle between Ryan and the black-robed monk with a giant scythe, opened her mouth wide, her beautiful eyes wide open, and she looked horrified!
Although she had heard of some cults' behaviors and various evil deeds before, it was really the first time she saw such a weird and terrifying cultist.
"This is not a human at all!"
"Will Ryan be defeated?"
At this moment, Jenny's fair little hands tightly grasped her long skirt. She looked through the window of the carriage nervously, watching the battle between the two people in the center of the square outside the church, wondering if there was any way to help Ryan.
She glanced at the two family knights who were also scared and pale, and couldn't help shaking her head.
"Family cavalry, alas! The strength is only a second-level knight squire, and it can't help at all! Too weak!"
"Huh!"
At this time, Jenny saw a short man dressed as a night watch captain, tightly stopping a middle-aged woman dressed as a peasant woman, with an expression of persuasion.
Because she was not far away from the two people, although the scene was noisy and there were scattered people, Jenny could still hear the two people talking intermittently.
"Let me go see Ryan"
"Aunt Emma, you will make Lord Ryan worried if you go there, or first..."
Huh?
Is this Ryan's mother?
Jenny's eyes lit up, and she immediately thought of something!
She immediately jumped off the carriage, holding up her skirt and ran over, while the two family cavalrymen immediately protected their young lady and followed closely.
"Auntie, are you Ryan's mother?"
"Yes? Yes, may I ask who you are?" Seeing a little girl dressed as a noble lady, followed by two fully armed cavalrymen running over, Emma couldn't help but step back a little nervously and asked.
"I am Jenny from the Crawley family, Aunt Emma, and I am a friend of Lord Ryan."
"If you are worried that Lord Ryan doesn't want to leave, you can go to my carriage to see him. It will be much safer." Jenny said, and pointed to the carriage beside her. When
Matteo heard the advice of this beautiful noble lady, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Aunt Emma, if you still want to stay here, then follow Miss Jenny's advice."
After all, it would be much safer to be in the carriage with two cavalry guards.
Secondly, Aunt Emma could also observe Ryan fighting in the church square from the window of the carriage.
"Will this dirty your carriage? I'm wearing this." Emma looked at herself, then at the luxurious carriage, and hesitated.
She had never ridden in such a luxurious aristocratic carriage before.
When she ran away just now, her clothes were also dirty.
This made Matteo on the side anxious, and he shouted in his heart, Aunt Emma, you were a peasant woman before, but now you are the honorable 'Mother of Lord Ryan Emma', why do you still care about this!
"Aunt Emma, just call me Jenny." Jenny's eyes suddenly smiled into crescents, not disliking that Emma's clothes were not clean at this time, and took the initiative to help her up.
While talking, she rubbed Emma's dirty clothes with her white long skirt and said:
"Aunt Emma, you see, I'm not clean either, let's not care about these."
"Come on!"
Ah?
What a kind noble lady!
Emma might have considered it again under normal circumstances, but at this time, she was worried about Ryan, so she was not too restrained, so she nodded and agreed.
The two of them soon entered the carriage together.
The two cavalrymen of Jenny's family looked at each other, and then looked at the powerful Ryan, and immediately understood their young lady's intention.
Miss, you are widening the road!
The battle in the center of the church square continued.
However, at this time, the black flame monk with a giant sickle on the opposite side did not rush to attack. He only heard him say: "Young man, you have a good talent. Joining the arms of my Lord is your best choice."
Ryan did not expect that the other party would suddenly extend an olive branch and recruit him.
Join the Black Flame Church and believe in evil gods?
And then become a person like you who is neither human nor ghost?
When he thought of the scene of himself becoming a rubber man?
Ryan immediately shook his head like a rattle!
Seeing Ryan shaking his head and rejecting his suggestion, it seemed that the "Apostle" was extremely angry, and then he turned around and jumped and chopped Ryan!
"Wow!"
The enemy, who was two meters six in height, performed a jump slash, and the attack radius was extremely large!
Ryan rolled sideways again, narrowly avoiding the opponent's attack.
But before Ryan could stand up, a ball of black flame fire came from the empty left hand of the giant sickle black flame monk, and "whoosh" hit Ryan.
"Boom!"
Ryan was blown away several meters, and wisps of black flames were wrapped around his body.
"Hiss! It hurts so much!"
This belongs to the category of combo, and the "Danger Sense lv3" has also been warned, but it is just too late to dodge!
Although he suffered a loss, Ryan also tested several of the opponent's moves one by one through the previous battle.
Perhaps the opponent has one or two hidden moves, but Ryan has understood the general fighting style.
It is not his style to just take a beating without fighting back.
Several battle plans emerged in his mind in an instant, but when Ryan thought of the opponent's human skin armor, which was too high to defend, he rejected all these plans one by one!
The opponent's human skin armor could not even be cut by his pyroxene weapon, the "Glimmering Giant Sword".
At this time, Ryan felt a little regretful in his heart. His fighting methods were still too simple! If
he had known that he would encounter such a "thick-skinned" enemy, he should have learned the "Tokkar's Hammer Technique Outline".
With the shock force of the heavy hammer, he should be able to bypass the opponent's surface defense and directly injure the opponent's body.
But now, it is not that there is no chance.
Because just now, Ryan keenly noticed the weakness of the opponent's armor.
That is, when the opponent stretched his waist like a rubber man to attack, the wrinkled human skin armor was also stretched.
It was like a pair of wrinkled trousers being ironed flat by an electric iron.
At that time, the surface of the human skin armor was extremely smooth and extremely tight.
Perhaps, the reason why children's skin is used to make armor is probably because of the elasticity of children's skin tissue.
Of course, human skin alone cannot achieve this effect, and there must be other evil means in it.
Therefore, if Ryan can seize the opportunity when the opponent uses the rubber man fighting skills again, and chop the opponent's stretched waist with all his strength, there should be a high probability that the opponent will be cut in half!
——Mayest
County City.
In a luxurious mansion.
The beautiful Baroness Crowley is dressed at home, wearing a white corseted puffy skirt, half lying on a lambskin lounge chair in the back garden of the mansion, leisurely basking in the warm sun of early winter.
The delicate hands of the maid next to her are carefully peeling grapes for her, and another maid is intimately covering her with a thin wool blanket.
The tall upper body of the lady and the exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio make the maids next to her compare it with their own from time to time, and they are very envious.
At this time, a maid ran over in a hurry and said, "Madam, Miss Jenny sent an urgent message with a blue-helmeted pigeon."
After that, she handed a tube-shaped object that tied pigeons to the legs to Baroness Crowley with both hands.
Baroness Crowley's real name was Jennifer Cece. Since she married Baron Crowley, she became Jennifer Crowley.
Jennifer was surprised and immediately stood up to take the tube.
When she opened it, she saw the handwriting of her daughter Jenny. It read:
"Mother: Shining Gold Town was attacked by cultists. Please contact the county city for support immediately! Jenny!"
This immediately startled Jennifer!
The first thought was "Jenny is in danger!"
But the next second, she realized that it might not be Jenny who was in danger, because if she was really in danger, Jenny would not just write a request for help, but also add a suicide note to her mother.
This made Jennifer feel a little relieved.
"Shining Gold Town?"
"Ryan! 'A flash of inspiration flashed through the mind of the Baroness Jennifer, and soon she guessed what her daughter was thinking.
"Change into a formal dress immediately. I'm going to visit a guest."
"Yes, ma'am."
-
Shining Gold Town.
In the square outside the church, the white-hot battle continued!
"Dang!!"
After Ryan blocked the opponent's "Water Snake Waist" attack again, his eyes narrowed.
Now!
On the basis of breaking the limit by 35%, Ryan instantly activated the extraordinary characteristics "Giant Strength Level 2" and 100% "Power Burst"!
The strength value instantly increased from 15 (+5) to 15 (+29)!
The increase was 195%, which was nearly doubled!
The black-robed monk with a giant sickle also found something wrong at this time.
Because the "little guy" in front of him also underwent a "transformation" like him!
But it was not his vertical development, but it became taller and stronger at the same time.
It was like a monkey suddenly turned into a mountain gorilla!
Facing the mighty and powerful sword of Ryan, the monk with the giant sickle and black robe tried his best to block it.
But he couldn't block it! He couldn't
block it at all!
This was a change from 20 points of strength to 44 points.
"Dang!!"
The moment the two weapons touched, the huge force of the glimmering giant sword was transmitted to the opponent's giant sickle.
The giant sickle didn't even have time to block for a hundredth of a second before it was bounced away!
Then, the giant sword continued to chop down, and there was a sound like cutting leather.
"Pudong!"
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard!
The human skin armor that was in the stretching stage really reduced its defense. The slender waist of the monk with the giant sickle and black flame was chopped into two by Ryan's glimmering giant sword. Just now, it was the sound of the opponent's upper body falling to the ground.
"Ah!!" The opponent screamed.
It seemed that some kind of strong backlash had occurred!
At this moment, the monk with the giant sickle and black robe was burning with black flames on his body, burning more and more vigorously!
At this time, the Black Flame Monk Mitri, who was presiding over the ceremony in the church hall, had just finished the final stage of the blood sacrifice ceremony.
There was a diamond-shaped crystal with a rich blood color on the top of the bone staff.
Although nearly half of the people had escaped, there were still nearly 70 or 80 residents of Shining Gold Town, and their blood and essence were absorbed into the crystal ball.
At this time, the dead residents of Shining Gold Town on the ground of the church hall were extremely withered, like a thousand-year-old mummies.
Just as Mitri walked towards the "Apostle" with a relaxed pace,
this scene appeared in front of him!
A young man with muscles bulging like a monster, with blue veins bursting in his exposed parts, cut the "Apostle" in half with a sword!
This made his eyes suddenly widen twice, and his mouth opened wide, obviously shocked by the scene in front of him!
After being stunned for several seconds, Mitri was in a trance and muttered, "Impossible!!"
"This is absolutely impossible."
"Unless it is a peak knight, how could the Apostle lose!"
After Ryan swung the "peak sword", his body was like a deflated balloon, shrinking rapidly, leaning on the sword, breathing heavily, looking exhausted.
This is really not fake.
At this moment, he had almost no fighting power left.
Although Ryan had increased his physical fitness from 16 points to 17 points after the battle with Andrews, compared to the 44 points of power driven during the explosion, this physical fitness was still a drop in the bucket.
So, when Ryan saw the Black Flame Monk in the church hall walking towards him, he secretly cried out "Oops!".
However, the improvement in physical fitness did work.
At least, Ryan was able to endure the pain this time, straighten his waist, and look at the other party calmly.
And Mitri found that the calm eyes of the young man in front of him were looking straight at him. It might be because Ryan's eyes, which carried the power of killing the apostle, were too deterrent, and Mitri's forehead "swish" and began to burst out with beads of sweat the size of soybeans.
The next second, Mitri took a step back in fear, turned around quickly, and ran behind him, as fast as a black lightning!
But after running more than ten meters, Mitri suddenly braked, and then turned his head and looked at Ryan again!
At this time, Mitri seemed to come to his senses and thought to himself:
"No! No matter how strong Ryan is, it is impossible for him to maintain a good physical condition after fighting with the Apostle."
So Mitri carefully observed Ryan's body and saw that Ryan was trembling all over, and his clothes were barely able to stand up straight.
The knight's plate armor was also damaged and had almost no defensive power!
In addition, there were many charred areas on the opponent's naked body.
"This..."
"I said, although this guy was lucky enough to kill the Apostle, he was exhausted!"
"Damn, I was almost fooled by this guy!"
"Now it's good, I got this great bargain, thank the great God of Hunting!"
"The other party is the murderer who destroyed the blood sacrifice ceremony and killed the Apostle. As long as I kill him, there is no doubt that I will be rewarded by the High Priest this time."
"Maybe, I can be promoted to the new Apostle, haha!"
Mitri's mouth showed a smug smile.
When Ryan saw the other party return again, his heart suddenly "clicked" and shouted that it was not good!
After all, among the directional forces of the entire Shining Gold Town, except for him, there is no one who can fight the Black Flame Monk.
But
when the anxious Ryan accidentally saw the career panel, his eyes widened!
The system prompts:
[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been upgraded, experience points +121]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Super) experience points +40]
[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been upgraded, experience points +542]
[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Super) experience points +233]
[Congratulations, your Knight (Super) professional level has been upgraded! ]
"Fuck! I just upgraded?"
"This Scythe Black Flame Monk gave me so much experience!"
Ryan never thought that after killing Andrews and upgrading, he could upgrade again at this time!
The interval time is less than half an hour!
Moreover, the Knight (Super) professional level after the upgrade was lv2 (43/300), and it takes 257 points to upgrade.
Ryan never thought that killing the previous Black Flame Monk, plus this Scythe Black Flame Monk, could give him a full 40+233, a total of 273 experience points.
At this moment, the Knight (Extraordinary) has been upgraded to level 3 (16/500).
Of course, these are not the most important.
What is important is the attribute point provided after the upgrade.
So, Ryan did not hesitate to add this attribute point to his physique.
Suddenly, his physique increased from 17 points to 18 points.
In an instant, a large amount of heat was pumped out from the heart and quickly spread throughout the body.
This made Ryan feel that he was back to his peak state, full of energy!
The sequelae of the "Triple Superposition State" just now disappeared without a trace.
The whole person's state couldn't be better!
Looking at the attacking Black Flame Monk, Ryan's mouth corners rose slightly, and he silently said in his heart:
"There is a road to heaven, but you don't take it. There is no door to hell, but you insist on breaking in"
