Chapter 156 People are already numb (two chapters in one)
In the hall of the ruined Mother Tree Sect Temple.
Because Ryan's fighting power was obvious to all when he killed the evil spirit knight before.
Therefore, even though the two Templar Knights did not quite believe what Ryan said, they did not question Ryan.
It was just that the other party's stunned body movements seemed to say, "Although Sir Ryan, you are very powerful, don't talk nonsense!"
At the same time, Priest Rudolf on the side was also slightly skeptical of Ryan's reminder.
You know, the scroll he just tore open contained the high-level divine art "Sword of Judgment".
Others may not know the power of this divine art, but he, as a professional in the church, knows the power of this divine art too well.
Once it hits, it will not only instantly cause a one-time, powerful penetrating damage to the enemy, but also, the surging energy on the "Sword of Judgment" will stay on the enemy's wound and cause continuous damage to the wound.
In layman's terms, even if you don't die immediately after one blow, you will still die if you continue to lose blood!
But the next second, Priest Rudolf opened his mouth wide with a look of horror! The words of warning just reached his throat, but it was too late.
The two Templars were like golf balls, and suddenly, they were violently swept by the tail of the flesh and blood forest that looked like a giant python.
With a "pop", the two were knocked more than ten meters high at the same time!
In mid-air, the "crackling" sound of broken bones and tendons could still be heard.
Ryan couldn't help but sigh in his heart!
Alas!
The favorable situation turned into an unfavorable situation!
In addition, these two people are probably useless even if they don't die! I can't count on them.
After a long time, I was the only melee fighter left "fighting alone"!
As for Lagre?
I haven't entered the extraordinary yet, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with the roots of the flesh and blood forest.
"Divine Art: Holy Power Floating!"
"Divine Art: Radiant Healing!"
Rudolf held the book in his hand, aimed at the two Templar Knights in mid-air, and cast the rescue divine art at the fastest speed.
Rudolf cast two divine arts in succession, but this also exhausted his remaining mental power.
Because although the high-level divine art "Sword of Judgment" just now was extremely powerful, it consumed a lot of Rudolf's mental power. Even as a patriarch, he couldn't stand it at this moment.
Under the blessing of "Holy Power Floating", the two Templar Knights slowly landed on the ground like a feather.
Rudolf and Lagre hurried forward to check the injuries of the two Templar Knights.
Unfortunately, the Templar Knight with slightly weaker strength was already beyond rescue in mid-air. His internal organs and bones were all shattered into meat paste by the blow of the flesh and blood tree spirit.
The other Templar Knight with stronger strength barely survived. With the help of the divine art "Radiant Healing", he was trying his best to restore the damaged internal organs, but in the short term, he was completely unable to move.
So, within a few seconds, the situation was reversed.
Rudolf and Lagre raised their heads and looked at Ryan, who was not far away.
In front of them, it seemed that Ryan was the only one who could interfere with the blood and flesh tree spirit.
Facing the blood and flesh tree spirit whose injuries were gradually healing, Ryan knew that he could not wait any longer and had to take the initiative to attack.
After all, at present, the blood and flesh tree spirit was still seriously injured, but he had to cause continuous and sufficient damage to the opponent.
Only in this way could it be possible to interrupt the opponent's self-healing, and it would be possible to find the opponent's flaws and kill it later.
"Break the limit!"
Ryan was seen holding a glimmering giant sword, rushing towards the flying blood and flesh roots without hesitation.
"Swish swish swish!"
After fighting, Ryan found that the strength of the blood and flesh tree spirit was really strong, no, it should be said to be super strong!
Because he found that even if the opponent was seriously injured, its root attack was also powerful, and these flesh and blood roots of different sizes were extremely tough.
Every time Ryan chopped with his sword, it was like slashing on a rubber tire, which was extremely difficult to cut.
Fortunately, the glimmering giant sword in his hand was forged with star iron and glow stone. Otherwise, even if Ryan activated the "limit-breaking" function, it would be difficult to cut off these roots.
It can be imagined that if the flesh and blood tree spirit was not injured and was in its prime, the number of roots, attack power and defense power of the opponent would most likely be taken to a higher level.
If that were the case, it would be much more difficult for Ryan than it is now!
Facing such a strong enemy, Ryan immediately activated the "limit-breaking" function, and all three attributes were increased by more than 60%.
Especially agility, which was greatly improved from the original 16 points to 26 points. Naturally, the whole person's movement speed was very fast. It was precisely relying on the super-fast movement speed that allowed Ryan to stand firm in the dangerous battle situation.
At this moment, the battle scene in the hall was that Ryan kept moving quickly, and every step was either slashing or dodging to deal with the hundreds of flesh and blood roots that surrounded him.
These flesh and blood roots are big and small, fast and slow, and have a variety of attack methods, some use the tip to stab, some sweep, and some pull from top to bottom.
Fortunately, Ryan's Giant Bear Swordsmanship had reached level 6 before this!
Since entering level 6, Ryan felt that his Giant Bear Swordsmanship had entered the next great realm, according to Hamilton, that is, entering the mastery level.
Therefore, relying on the two items of "breaking the limit" and mastery level swordsmanship, Ryan barely coped with the overwhelming attack of the flesh and blood roots.
However, Ryan soon realized that his current level of swordsmanship was still not strong enough. He could not rely purely on swordsmanship to resist many of the root attacks, and could only dodge by moving at high speed!
This led to a very fatal problem!
That is, Ryan's current physical strength is consumed very quickly!
According to the current consumption rate, Ryan estimated that he could only maintain the "Break Limit" state for about one minute. Even if the three remaining attribute points were counted, it would be a drop in the bucket and could not support it for too long.
After a little thought, Ryan made a quick decision!
He immediately added a few skill points to the Giant Bear Swordsmanship. The Giant Bear Swordsmanship lv6 (345/3000) β Giant Bear Swordsmanship lv7 (345/5000) on the panel.
In an instant, scattered Giant Bear Swordsmanship training clips began to be injected into Ryan's mind and implanted into muscle memory at the same time.
It felt to Ryan as if he had experienced years of hard training in Giant Bear Swordsmanship!
At this point, Ryan had a deeper understanding of Giant Bear Swordsmanship. Although his swordsmanship was still at the proficient level, he had made obvious progress.
At this time, a mighty eagle flew over the ruined temple.
Its sharp eyes first showed a very human-like surprised look at the temple below. The next moment, it seemed to hear the fierce fighting and energy fluctuations coming from the temple below.
It swooped down and came to the top of the temple, quietly looking inside from the gap in the collapsed area.
The eagle that came was naturally the black-haired elf.
Soon, she, who also had the gift of dark vision, saw the fighting situation in the hall clearly.
"Sure enough, it's the flesh and blood tree spirit. Have the fallen people of the Mother Tree Sect revived again?"
If Ryan was by the side, he would definitely be able to judge from the unfriendly tone of the black-haired elf that the black-haired elf obviously had no good feelings towards the Mother Tree Sect.
"Huh? Why don't I see anyone from the church?"
"There was clearly a strong fluctuation of divine power just now. Judging from the nature, it seems to be the divine power of the monsoon and the goddess of the sea."
After the sharp eagle eyes continued to search, the black-haired elf saw the figures of Rudolf and others in a dim corner of the hall.
"Oh, seems injured?"
"I thought I could still watch a good show."
The black-haired elf seemed to be hesitant about whether to join the battle.
It was not because of other reasons, but because she did not like the people of the church at all.
The major churches of mankind regarded them as heretics, so they tried their best to avoid appearing in front of the church members.
"Forget it, when this young knight is exhausted, I will help them." The black-haired elf frowned and weighed it, and murmured.
ββAt
this moment.
In the dim hall of the temple, Ryan, whose swordsmanship was improved again, performed the giant bear swordsmanship. Each move was extremely fast and the moves were connected smoothly. It felt like watching a waltz of strength and beauty at four times the speed!
Due to the special effect of the glimmering giant sword's "exorcism" and the increase in sword speed after "breaking the limit", the glimmering giant sword in Ryan's hand was like a laser sword at this moment!
Then, a line of light ball composed of high-speed dancing sword blades rushed left and right, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Wherever it passed, flesh and blood roots of various sizes broke and fell.
Even if these flying roots were cut off, they did not lose their activity all at once. They continued to twist and bend in the air and on the ground.
The blood and flesh tree spirit occasionally attacked by mobilizing huge roots with the diameter of a basin to hit Ryan. At this time, the sword blade ball emitting white light would immediately dodge.
After the giant bear swordsmanship was upgraded to level 7, the time Ryan could resist increased linearly, from the original one minute to at least two minutes, or even longer.
This scene made Rudolf, Lagre and the only remaining Templar Knight stunned!
Although the three had seen the scene of Ryan killing the evil spirit knight before, and knew that Ryan was very skilled in both hammer and sword skills, they did not expect that Ryan could be so strong!
It was simply a person fighting the blood and flesh tree spirit alone!
One person turned the tide!
One person turned the situation around!
However, soon, the brow of the Archbishop Rudolf frowned.
"If this continues, I'm afraid it won't work. Because before the numerous roots of the flesh and blood tree spirit are cut off, Ryan's physical strength will most likely be exhausted first!"
"Yes, he has now opened the limit breaking state, but he dare not use the extraordinary characteristics. He should be worried that his physical strength will be exhausted too early and fall out of the limit breaking state."
"And once the speed slows down, Ryan will be finished. That kind of huge root attack is not something that a human body can resist!" The seriously injured Templar Knight next to him also saw this and his face became even uglier.
In the eyes of Archbishop Rudolf and the Templar Knight, Ryan is currently facing almost a dead end.
Because even if Ryan's physical strength is strong, at most, he can only maintain the "limit breaking" time for about two minutes.
But what about two minutes later?
What should he do after two minutes?
The only outcome waiting for him is defeat!
"Machini, maybe. That's the only way!" Rudolf said solemnly, looking at the seriously injured Templar Machini beside him.
Machini's face became serious, and he immediately knocked heavily on his chest with his right hand wearing an iron glove, and said firmly:
"Priest, it is my long-cherished wish to return to the arms of the goddess! It is my honor to dedicate myself to sweeping away the evil in the world!"
"Good job, Machini!"
Rudolf patted the shoulder of the only remaining young Templar Knight and sighed inwardly.
It has come to this point after all!
The church still underestimated the intelligence of Night Song Forest.
But thinking about it carefully, this seems to be inevitable.
Because the manpower in the church has been too tight recently, the situation around Mayster County is getting more and more wrong, and various mysterious events have erupted, and the church can't gather enough manpower.
But before returning to the arms of the goddess, take this flesh and blood tree spirit with you!
Just before the young Templar Knight named Machini was about to perform his secret technique, Rudolf stopped him and said, "Let Ryan kill more roots and create the best fighting conditions. Once he is exhausted, we will go!"
"In this way, we will have a better chance of killing the flesh and blood tree spirit."
Machini nodded heavily!
Lagre, who was standing aside, had a solemn face. She pursed her lips tightly and held the blood-patterned steel shield. Her fingers were too tightly clenched, causing the joints to turn white.
This was the second time she felt this sense of powerlessness!
The teammates around her were fighting hard, but the feeling of being powerless was too painful.
She swore that after this incident, if she could still survive, she would definitely participate in the life and death trial.
The eyes of the three people were all fixed on the high-speed moving sword blade light ball. Once the light ball stopped, it would be the moment for Machini and Rudolf to join forces to perform the final killer.
At the top of the temple hall, a pair of sharp eagle eyes stared at Ryan, and his eyes changed from indifference at the beginning to brilliance now!
Time passed by one
minute
and two minutes.
"Hmm?" Rudolf and the young knight Machini looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"How can Ryan last so long? This is too long!" Machini couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing the surprise of the two, Lagre, who was in a heavy mood, seemed to remember something, and a rare smile appeared on her face, saying:
"Ryan is very persistent. Sometimes I practice with him for a whole day, and I am exhausted, but he is still energetic and doesn't seem to be tired at all!"
"I am sure that Ryan's physical strength is different from that of ordinary people!"
Rudolf and Machini looked strange when they heard it, and looked at each other for a while!
Persistent?
Are you two practicing seriously?
You are exhausted, but he is still energetic?
Can I say I don't believe it?
I have never heard of being tired on the ground, and I am not tired at all!
Besides, you are not an ordinary woman, you are a barbarian woman! Can't even your physical strength withstand it? The two thought.
But Lagre didn't seem to notice what she had just said, which caused misunderstandings among the two people beside her.
Her beautiful eyes were completely focused on Ryan.
Although she had just heard that Priest Rudolf and the Templar Knight had one last desperate move, she still planned to step forward as soon as Ryan was in trouble and use her shield to help Ryan resist the attack.
Even if she could only resist for a while, she would rush forward without hesitation!
At this time, Ryan's physical strength was close to the critical line, but he was not panicked at all.
Because he was hanging!
Add points and he will recover!
What he was hesitating about was how to add points?
Under the current circumstances, if he adds points, he has three options.
The first is to increase physical strength, which is also the most lasting option; the second is agility, which is faster and naturally safer; the last is to add spirit.
As for why there is the option of adding some spirit, it is to prepare for the subsequent attack on the body of the flesh and blood tree spirit.
After fighting for so long, you can't just think of giving the flesh and blood tree spirit a shave and then retreat, right?
Naturally, you have to find a way to kill the opponent!
Just now, a guess suddenly popped up in Ryan's mind.
That is, since the flesh and blood tree spirit is called a tree spirit, is it possible that the opponent is more afraid of fire?
Although it cannot be verified immediately at present, as long as Ryan can get close to the opponent's body, he can attack the opponent with the two fire witchcrafts he masters, "Scorching Touch" and "High Temperature Force Field".
However, at present, the opponent moves quickly and the attack power is extremely powerful, leaving Ryan with extremely limited time to cast witchcraft.
In addition, even if the witchcraft "Scorching Touch" can be cast smoothly, if the duration is too short, it will not cause too much damage to the opponent.
This point has been verified in the previous fight with Adams.
Otherwise, Adams' body should be directly carbonized at a high temperature of 2,000 degrees.
So, considering this, it is crucial to increase the power of witchcraft.
But how to increase the power of witchcraft? As for this problem, the only solution Ryan knew was to increase his mental strength.
Thinking while fighting, Ryan soon made a decision to increase his mental strength!
Although adding points to physical strength, agility or spirit cannot guarantee that he will be able to kill the flesh and blood tree spirit.
But if he adds some spirit, the power of witchcraft will increase, which means that his success rate in killing the flesh and blood tree spirit will be higher.
As the mental power increased from 20 points to 21 points, Ryan felt a large amount of heat pumping out of his heart and spreading rapidly to his limbs!
This made Ryan full of vitality all at once, and the fatigue and physical exhaustion after performing the "Break Limit" just now disappeared without a trace!
Somehow, Ryan's mind instantly flashed the famous prose poem "The Seagull" written by the great writer Gorky in his previous life.
"This is a brave petrel, flying proudly in the roaring sea, in the middle of lightning!"
"This is the cry of the prophet of victory!"
"Let the storm come even more violently!"
Ryan looked at the dense flesh and blood roots in front of him, which attacked from all angles, just like the storm faced by the petrel, and Ryan himself was like that brave and tiny petrel!
To fight against the storm and the raging waves!
The next second, in the eyes of the three people and the eagle watching the battle.
Ryan, who was already slightly tired and could fall at any time, suddenly, the whole person seemed to be hit by some kind of time-reversing magic, and he was restored to the state three minutes ago when he just opened the "limit-breaking" state.
At this moment, Ryan waved the greatsword in his hand, and the sword force once again remained in an abnormally stable state!
Just like when the battle just started, full of power and smoothness, continuing to "shave" the flesh and blood tree spirit like a razor!
The young Templar Machini, who saw this scene, opened his mouth wide, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face was dull.
Machini's expression at this moment was very much like the expression of a poor student in the class who saw a very difficult test paper at the end of a certain exam.
Even the knowledgeable Archbishop Rudolph was not much better than Machini at this moment.
He was also staring blankly at Ryan, who had been "rewound up", with an unbelievable look on his face.
Only Lagre's expression was slightly normal. After all, she had seen Ryan's "endurance" during the previous sparring, but this time, she was still a little surprised.
Lagre glanced at the two people beside her, with an expression of "I said Ryan was very durable, but you still didn't believe it."
After a few seconds, Archbishop Rudolph and Templar Machini finally closed their wide-open mouths, swallowed their saliva, and looked at Lagre beside them.
Seemingly a little embarrassed, the two immediately turned their heads and looked at each other, and saw shock and incomprehension in each other's eyes.
Little girl, you said that this Ryan is very durable.
But this one is too durable!
The face of the headmaster Rudolf twitched a few times. Although he still said nothing, he was already roaring in his heart.
And the eagle on the top of the hall was just about to fly down to rescue.
As a result, the situation stabilized again just after flapping its wings!
At this moment, the sharp eagle eyes actually revealed a confused expression.
And Ryan was getting smoother and easier to fight. This was because the lv7 giant bear sword memory fragment that had just been infused into him had been digested and absorbed by him after the actual combat just now!
At the same time, Ryan had some new ideas about the use of skill points.
It seems that
for seemingly basic skills such as swordsmanship and hammer skills, once they are upgraded to a higher level and then added, the benefits obtained are not lower than those of adding some rare skills.
Seeing their teammate Ryan was so powerful, Priest Rudolf and Templar Machini would not be stupid enough to rush up and fight the flesh and blood tree spirit with their special moves.
After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.
So, time passed by minute by minute, and two minutes passed.
Adding it up, it was already six minutes later.
Priest Rudolf and Templar Machini were already numb at this moment!
It was like a class of dozens of students running a thousand meters together, but just as they started running, they suddenly saw a boy in the class running at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Almost everyone thought that it would be great if this boy could run half a lap at this speed.
As a result, he ran a full lap of 400 meters at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and then,
Ryan, who was on the verge of his physical limit again while continuing to sprint at this high speed, glanced at the panel and silently recited the points!
As the mental power went from 21 points to 22 points, in an instant, another large stream of heat was pumped out from the heart and spread rapidly to the limbs!
This allowed Ryan to experience "full physical strength resurrection" again!
Suddenly, his body was full of vitality, and all the fatigue disappeared. He could continue to fight the blood and flesh tree spirit for "three hundred rounds"!
Ryan's state, which seemed like a "perpetual motion machine", finally aroused the surprise and attention of the blood and flesh tree spirit.
Because although it has many flesh tentacles, it can't stand Ryan's way!
At this moment, under Ryan's unremitting "shaving", he has shaved a piece of "alopecia" on the surface of the more than ten-meter-long body of the blood and flesh tree spirit.
In other words, as long as Ryan can maintain his current state and hold on for a few more minutes, the blood and flesh tree spirit will be shaved into a "bald wooden stake" by Ryan!
