The ancient empire is senile and dying, while the nascent federation roars with steam. The slumbering gods are gradually awakening, and some giant beasts that disappeared in ancient times are slowl...
Chapter 299: Lava Giant (Two chapters in one)
Asimov looked at Ryan, his eyes flickering.
The opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations. Not only was he a wizard and a great knight, he seemed to be proficient in animal taming and could control two ferocious beasts, an eagle and a dog.
Moreover, the most important thing was that the opponent was still so young.
It was hard to imagine how the opponent could do all this.
Now the hatred has been established.
It is naturally best to kill the opponent as soon as possible.
You can't just wait for the opponent's strength to increase again, and then come back to seek revenge.
"It seems that only by using that thing can we be sure to kill the opponent in one fell swoop." Asimov showed a distressed look on his face, but it quickly flashed away, and then his expression became firm.
His whole face instantly turned red, and he quickly began to chant loudly, and his speed and rhythm were as fast as the top rap players in Ryan's previous life.
At the same time, Asimov's left hand quickly took out a formation plate.
With the sound of the spell that was almost inaudible, the array disk soon began to glow and shone a light green projection, which fell on the ground.
A reverse pentagram array was quickly displayed.
Then, the ground where the witch array was located began to flash a large red light, vibrate violently and quickly bulge.
At the moment when the opponent used the innate ability "arrogance", Ryan knew that the opponent was going to use all his strength.
In this case
, Ryan just pointed his toes, and the ground under the boots, which was full of water, suddenly exploded into a circle of water.
Ryan, holding the two-handed war hammer diagonally with both hands, the hammer head almost dragged the ground, rushed towards Asimov quickly, and the high-speed movement tore the airflow, and immediately formed a long vacuum channel in the heavy rain.
Ryan could clearly sense that the vibration amplitude of the ground this time was even greater than that of the giant lava hand just now.
Think about it, it requires the innate ability "arrogance" from the blood-capped troll and the cooperation of the array disk. The power of this witchcraft performed by Asimov at this moment can be imagined!
Sure enough, just as Ryan was about to bypass the bulge.
"Crash!"
Lava splashed!
Two giant lava hands stretched out from the ground at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, and forcibly broke open the ground that was still flashing red light, and a huge humanoid monster was drilling out of the inverted pentagram array.
This was a tall monster similar to the obsidian giant that Ryan had seen before, except that the elements that made up its body had changed from obsidian to more lethal lava and red-hot stones!
But this is not over yet.
Asimov's voice suddenly became louder and louder. He quickly took out a box from his arms, looking reluctant, but still quickly opened it, and pushed one of the fist-sized crystals that was flashing red light towards the lava monster.
The red heart-shaped crystal automatically floated in the air, and like a red meteor, it quickly flew into the lava monster's chest and merged instantly!
Suddenly, the lava monster's momentum rose!
Its height also began to increase from six or seven meters to eight or nine meters, and its limbs and face became clearer and clearer. It looked like an enlarged human.
"With the legendary item 'Lava Heart', the strength of this lava monster has successfully reached the power of the legendary lava giant."
"Boy, die!"
Asimov grinned and laughed!
As his mind moved, the tall lava giant clasped his fists together and hit Ryan hard.
Ryan naturally would not choose to resist. Facing the heavy blow, he rolled over and quickly dodged.
"Bang!!!"
The opponent's two heavy lava giant hands, several meters long, hit the ground and punched a huge semicircular pit with a diameter of seven or eight meters. For a while, mud and magma splashed everywhere!
Accompanied by heavy rain from the sky, in an instant, cold and hot, the steaming mist filled the surroundings.
And the ground trembled violently, like an eight-magnitude earthquake!
Although Ryan dodged successfully, he also felt the same feeling as when he faced the ancient hero Monger.
"What a powerful force!" Ryan looked at the huge lava giant, his face condensed.
"Hey, I can dodge once, but how many times can I dodge?" Asimov, standing on the top of the lava giant, looked at Ryan who kept dodging, and suddenly became high-spirited.
Suddenly, Asimov seemed to have seized the opportunity, smiled slightly, and quickly waved his short stick at Ryan, shouting: "Lava spray!"
The lava giant suddenly opened its mouth like a cave, and a large amount of red magma, like a high-pressure water gun, shot towards Ryan!
"Not good!"
Ryan narrowed his eyes, rolled sideways twice in a row, and barely avoided this wave of range attacks.
But just as he stood up, a column of flames followed closely behind him, which was Asimov's flame attack.
Fortunately, the magic silver shield that surrounded Ryan's body suddenly accelerated and blocked the flame column, blocking most of the damage, while Ryan was only knocked back a small step.
Seeing that the tacit attack just now was ineffective.
Asimov ordered the lava giant under his feet to continue to attack Ryan. At the same time, he raised one flame column after another in his hand, shooting at Ryan like a machine gun.
At this time, he was in a period of "frenzy", like a chatterbox, and his speed of speech was faster than the crosstalk Ryan had heard in his previous life!
If Ryan didn't have the "metal barrier", sometimes even if he didn't have time to dodge, it wouldn't matter if he took the opponent's flame impact. If it were other knights, even the peak knights, I believe they would soon die on the spot.
But as the battle intensified, at this time, with the lava giant as the center, almost half of the surrounding area had turned into extremely hot magma ground.
The area left for Ryan to evade or launch an attack is getting smaller and smaller.
If the lava giant spews magma again, Ryan will be very passive.
Of course, Ryan can choose to give up.
He can choose to return to Munster, and Asimov will not risk the world's disapproval and control the lava giant to attack Munster.
But this is not the result Ryan wants!
Ryan narrowed his eyes, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes!
In this case, then don't hide!
Ryan did not wander around and dodge, but took a step, with the impact of flames, stepped on the magma, and rushed towards the lava giant. In the blink of an eye, he came under the right foot of the lava giant.
In an instant!
Ryan kicked his legs, turned his body, twisted his hips, and his whole body was like a tight spring, waving a two-handed war hammer, and suddenly rotated 180 degrees from the side of his body, swinging a lightning-fast hammer!
"Hah!!!"
It is the top secret - the hammer of annihilation!
Instantly, the dark hardened adamantium hammer, like a heavy howitzer, heavily bombarded the lava giant's left knee!
"Boom!!!"
A sound like a cannonball exploding rang out!
The lava giant's left knee was directly hit with a basin-sized through wound, and fiery red magma and gravel splashed everywhere!
This immediately made the lava giant unstable and shaky!
"Bang!! "
The lava giant knelt on one leg!
This almost made Asimov, who was standing on the lava giant's head, fall from above, and a trace of shame and anger flashed across his face.
This move again!
The secret of the hammer technique that almost injured him when he fought in the mansion before.
He broke two of his defensive sorcery in a row. If it weren't for the spontaneous protection of the "resistance to fire ring" sealed in the crystal pendant, I'm afraid he would have suffered a great loss at that time!
The opponent was so young, but he actually comprehended the secret of the hammer technique with such great power. It's really a bit puzzling!
This kind of enemy must be killed as soon as possible! !
"You think you won? It's too early to be complacent!"
Asimov, who had stabilized himself again, quickly chanted a spell, and soon, a strong, fiery red light emanated from the heart of the lava giant's chest!
"Roar!!!"
Then, the lava giant roared to the sky and stood up again, and its left knee, which was almost broken by Ryan's hammer, healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The lava on the ground, like a red stream of water, flowed from the soles of the feet, ankles, calves all the way up to the knees, quickly repairing the lava giant's injuries.
"How many times can you use that powerful secret you just performed?"
"Now, your physical strength is basically exhausted!"
"Accept your fate of failure." Asimov, standing on the top of the lava giant, said loudly, and pointed his short staff at Ryan, like a king.
"Huh~"
Ryan took a slow breath.
After chasing all the way here, and performing two top-level secrets, what Asimov said was actually not wrong at all. His physical strength at this moment has reached the bottom.
If it were any other peak knight, his physical strength would be only one tenth of what it was at this moment.
But Ryan was different.
He silently glanced at the nine remaining attribute points on the attribute panel.
If calculated based on his current 46-point physical fitness, when his physical strength is at its peak, he can use the top-level secret of "Hammer of Annihilation" at least three times.
Thirty-nine twenty-seven, that is, he can still perform the top-level secret twenty-seven times!
"I don't know, is your mental strength exhausted first, or my physical strength exhausted first." Ryan said silently in his heart.
The next second, his strength increased from 46 points to 47 points, and suddenly, a warm current gushed out from his heart and quickly spread throughout his body!
All of a sudden, Ryan's fatigue disappeared without a trace.
And his physical strength was instantly restored to its peak! ——At
the same time.
In the city of Münster.
After receiving Vieri's message, Neoro, who was blessed with Swiftness, was the first person to arrive in the team.
At first glance, he took in the situation in the front yard of the mansion.
The originally flat ground in the mansion was now full of potholes, and the neatly trimmed exquisite flowers and shrubs were now in a mess.
Moreover, there was a very eye-catching huge bulge in the middle of the front yard, and huge gullies that were plowed and crisscrossed. Even in the rain, they were steaming!
This surprised Neoro, and his face showed a thoughtful look.
"This is... a rare lava-based witchcraft!"
"And judging from the scene, it doesn't look like the power of a first-level witchcraft, but a second-level one."
Thinking of this, Neoro suddenly became a little worried.
Before he had time to check other situations, Neoro's face became serious, and he suddenly looked at the broken wall in front of the right with vigilance.
"Who?"
"It's me, Angus."
As soon as he finished speaking, Angus's familiar tall figure walked in from the ruins of the wall, holding something in his hand.
This made Neoro feel relieved and said, "I was shocked! Angus, what bad habit do you have? You didn't go out the main door, but after you left..."
But he reacted immediately.
Angus didn't go through the back door at this time, but
how should I say, the newly opened door on the wall?
"I just caught a guy who was trying to escape, so I came in from there."
Angus threw the man in his hand to the ground, and saw that the other party rolled a few times on the muddy ground in a mess.
Neoro could see clearly that the other party was a slightly thin third-level wizard apprentice.
This third-level wizard apprentice was one of the few people in the Blood Peak Mercenary Group who had just exhausted their mental power and was responsible for covering the wizard formation.
He looked around at the purgatory-like scene in a slightly embarrassed manner, and suddenly, he froze.
Because he saw a figure that he was very familiar with lying on the ground not far away, it was the graceful and charming Scorpion Lady.
At this moment, she also fell to the ground, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and her face was still charming.
But the problem was that the penetrating wound in the middle of her white abdomen, the size of a baby's head, destroyed her overall temperament, but it was quite a kind of incomplete beauty.
Vieri, who had been guarding on the second floor, immediately turned over and went downstairs after seeing his two companions arrive.
Vieri pointed to the unconscious Scorpion Girl lying on the ground and said, "This is the first attacker."
"The second attacker is over there, and was also severely injured by the captain. I don't know if the other party ran away?"
Angus and Neoro immediately looked in the direction of Vieri's finger.
Outside the gate, there was a big hole in the wall of the residential building across the street.
"I'll go and have a look!"
As soon as the voice fell, Angus's figure flashed and rushed over there. After a while, he pulled out an unusually tall and strong man.
"Is this the man?"
Vieri took a quick look.
Although the other party's entire body was missing nearly one-third, and his right arm and the shoulder blade were missing, he was indeed the one who attacked Captain Ryan.
Tienan was already in a dying state at the moment.
Ryan's hammer not only shattered his metal prosthesis, but also severely damaged his lungs and some other internal organs in his body.
Just now, he had gone through great pains to take out a bottle of explosive potion from his waist bag and was ready to take it, wanting to escape from here first.
Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by the strong man
in front of him. The third-level wizard apprentice who was captured alive felt cold in his heart when he saw Lady Scorpion lying on the side, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.
At this moment, he saw Lord Tienan being carried half-dead, and suddenly, the whole person was in a trance!
"The captain seems to have gone after their leader. There are three of them in total." Vieri saw Angus bringing back the half-dead Tienan, and he couldn't help but show joy on his face and said.
As a follower of Ryan, Vieri has immediately put himself in the role of a follower. After all, these are the captain's spoils.
At this time, Evelyn also arrived, and was extremely shocked to see the traces of fierce fighting at the scene.
She never expected that the provincial capital of Munster, which she thought was relatively safe, would also be attacked so severely.
"Which direction did the captain go? We will go to support him immediately. The opponent is a rare second-level lava wizard with very strong attack and defense power." Neoro asked quickly.
Vieri hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't see it clearly, but there were obvious traces along the way. It's not difficult for you to follow."
"But the captain asked us to protect his family."
"Yes, that's it. Angus, you and I will go. Evelyn, you and Vieri will continue to stay here. Soon, the elite of the imperial security forces will arrive. You should tell them about the situation first."
-
Outside the wall of Munster.
Heavy rain!
Ryan, who had recovered his strength, turned around quickly, facing the lava giant, and in one step, he came to the other side again, and hit the lava giant's left knee, which had just healed, with another "Hammer of Annihilation"!
"Boom!"
The scorching magma and the red boulder shattered instantly!
So, the same penetrating wound as before appeared again at the lava giant's left knee.
But Ryan, who had learned from his previous experience, did not end his attack this time.
Instead, he touched the ground with his toes, turned around and twisted his hips again, and immediately came to the other side of the lava giant.
Taking a deep breath, Ryan used another "Hammer of Annihilation" on the other leg of the lava giant!
Suddenly, the lava giant, whose legs were broken, could no longer stand at this time, and immediately knelt down with a bang! ——
Ryan used two top-level secret "Hammer of Annihilation" in a row, directly knocking the lava giant to his knees!
This scene made Asimov, who had just said that Ryan's physical strength should be exhausted, stare at his eyes like copper bells, with an inexplicable look of horror!
What the hell is this monster?
But Ryan still didn't stop!
He quickly turned around, went around to the front, and rushed towards the kneeling lava giant again.
Asimov followed Ryan's gaze and saw that Ryan's eyes were fixed on the heart of the lava giant's chest. He immediately understood what Ryan was going to do!
His face flushed, and he chanted the spell again at a high speed that was almost inaudible.
"Scorching ray!"
Ryan's magicized thorium shield blocked in front of him, and he took Asimov's scorching ray, but his steps did not hesitate or pause.
"Hammer of Annihilation!"
Ryan jumped up in the air, and his whole body was like a strong bow stretched to the limit. He raised his two-handed hammers above his head and hit the heart of the lava giant from top to bottom!
"Boom!"
While breaking a big hole, the red heart-shaped crystal was immediately knocked out of the lava giant's body and flew into the air.
As the red crystal left the body, the lava giant immediately let out a painful wail.
It began to shrink rapidly, from eight or nine meters tall to five or six meters tall, even smaller than at the beginning.
The glow of the hot, red magma on its body surface immediately dimmed a lot, turning into the kind of dark gray color that was about to solidify on the surface.
Of course, Ryan, who took a scorching ray, was not unscathed.
The scorching ray broke through the magicized thorium shield and the mithril carved plate armor, and hit his left arm. At this moment, there was a burning pain.
But this pain made Ryan's fighting spirit stronger!
At this time, a light blue airflow lingered around Asimov, and he quickly swept towards the direction of the red crystal that was knocked out.
Obviously, he wanted to get the lava heart back before Ryan.
Although the energy of the Lava Heart had been consumed by more than half at this time, it was still a rare legendary item, and it was the only thing Asimov could rely on to turn the tables!
Suddenly, in the mid-air where it was raining heavily, a blue and white Blood Feathered Hippogryph swooped down.
The opponent stretched out a pair of sharp claws and immediately grabbed the Lava Heart in the air.
Then, it flapped its wings again and disappeared into the low-hanging clouds.
This made Asimov stunned, and his face became extremely ugly!
Because the Blood Feathered Hippogryph had stolen his last trump card and reliance.
With the addition of points again, Ryan, whose strength increased to 48 points, recovered his physical strength to the peak again.
He quickly chased after Asimov.
Seeing Ryan chasing him again with great vigor, Asimov, whose mental power was almost exhausted and whose turnaround was stolen by the "Blood Feather", couldn't help but look panicked.
He quickly took out a bottle of light blue glass test tube medicine from his waist bag and planned to swallow it.
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the side and pounced on him!
It was the greyhound war dog "Cookie" who had been waiting for a long time.
"Cookie" remembered the vengeance of the burnt hair just now deeply in his heart!
"Bang!"
Asimov's innate witchcraft "Resist Fire Ring" immediately blasted "Cookie" seven or eight meters away, and at the same time, a large flame ignited on "Cookie"'s body.
However, the heavy rain gave Cookie an extremely convenient way to deal with it. He rolled on the muddy ground with water and quickly extinguished the flames on his body.
Because of Cookie's interference, the mental recovery potion in Asimov's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden.
Just as Asimov bent down to pick it up, Ryan had already caught up and hit Asimov with a hammer of annihilation!
"Bang! Bang!"
After breaking through the two layers of witchcraft defense, the 'Resist Fire Ring' and the 'Rock Body Guard', Ryan's hammer finally touched Asimov's body.
Asimov was hit in half by the remaining force of the hammer, his mouth opened wide, his tongue stuck out like a snake's tongue, blood spit out of his mouth, and he was instantly knocked more than ten meters away.
After Asimov fell heavily to the ground, he rolled on the spot. With a strong desire to survive, he quickly wiped the blood from his mouth, and began to perform frenzy again, trying his best to perform witchcraft.
With his mental strength at the moment, performing witchcraft again would cause great damage to his body after the backlash.
But Asimov couldn't care less at this time!
If he lost his life, he would lose everything!
But Ryan couldn't let him do as he wished.
The two-handed hammer in Ryan's hand quickly deformed, and soon, a pair of sharp knuckles were put on Ryan's hands.
Asimov opened his mouth, but before he could chant two spells, Ryan punched him in the left cheek.
Although the power of the brass knuckles was greatly reduced after penetrating the opponent's witchcraft defense, the purpose of interrupting the opponent's spell casting was achieved.
"Bang! Bang!"
Asimov retreated while trying to continue chanting, but every half a second or so, he would be hit on the face by Ryan's heavy punch.
Ryan could basically break the defensive witchcraft on his body with two or three punches, and directly attack the opponent's mouth that was opening and closing quickly!
After a while, Asimov, whose teeth fell off and his mouth was swollen like a pig's head, could no longer chant the spell clearly.
Ryan gave Asimov another heavy uppercut, knocking Asimov half a meter off the ground!
His head was bent back 90 degrees, and his jawbone was almost completely shattered!
Asimov fell heavily on his back in the mud and struggled to get up.
But the next second, a strong and powerful hand in bright silver plate armor grabbed his neck, like a drake.
Asimov's face flushed immediately, and he could only make a hoarse sound!
"Crack!"
The plate armor hand twisted hard, and instantly broke Asimov's neck.
At this time, Neoro and Angus braved the pouring rain and chased all the way to the city wall.
The griffin knight in the sky also found this place in the thunder and lightning.
Although the battle between the two took place outside the city, the roar of the lava giant and the dazzling red light just now could be observed more than a hundred meters away even in a rainy night.
As a dazzling lightning flashed across the sky!
The whole battle scene like a lava hell suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Ryan, wearing silver mithril armor, held the still twitching Asimov in one hand. Next to Ryan was a huge lava giant kneeling on the ground with a big hole in his chest, looking miserable.
This made everyone stop in their tracks and stare at the scene in amazement!
