Chapter 369 Heartbreaker

At this moment, Ryan was on the back of the horned eagle, thinking about the battle with the projection of Hela, the goddess of the underworld.

It can be regarded as a battle review.

At the beginning of the battle, the projection of Hela, who was not angered by him, was extremely difficult to deal with. All kinds of witchcraft and extraordinary combat skills were at his fingertips.

Moreover, the appropriate connection between combat skills and witchcraft made Ryan feel as if he was fighting against a high-performance robot. All his responses seemed to be expected by the opponent.

It was not until the opponent's emotions began to fluctuate that although the power of the attack was greater, the high-precision gear-like tight fit between the moves was gone, which gave Ryan the opportunity to counterattack.

Now thinking carefully, there are two key points for him to defeat the opponent.

The first point is that the skin is thick, which is attributed to the two talents of top-level steel body and high-speed healing, that is, the credit of the mutant dragon bloodline.

The second point is that after being promoted to the second-level liquefied wizard, his mental power is further improved, allowing him to sense and capture the opponent's attack. If he is still a first-level wizard, this battle may be more difficult.

In addition, these two points also determine the direction that Ryan will strengthen in the future.

First of all, mental power needs to be further improved to accelerate the liquefaction process. This requires him to go to the Bixiu Construction School as soon as possible and find Instructor Mogaro to apply for the second level of the Iron Heart Advanced Meditation Method.

At the same time, this is also one of the prerequisites for changing to the "Dragon Vein Wizard".

So in terms of importance, accelerating the liquefaction process is the first priority.

Secondly, it is to find an opportunity to continue to increase the concentration of dragon blood. This may be achieved by deliberately searching for dragons or dragon-born monsters to carry out tasks after joining the Sword Bearer Headquarters.

Finally, Ryan plans to learn the fighting style of the goddess of the underworld, Hela, and further integrate metal witchcraft into his own battles.

Of course, this is a huge project. To this end, he needs to read more classics and think about which witchcraft and moves are more compatible, which is not urgent.

Now that he has enough rare metals, he can practice the liquefied killer move "Multiple Cutting Nets" more and integrate it into his own fighting style.

This can be regarded as a supplement to his current balance between melee and long-range attacks.

As time passed, the towering mountains in front of them came into view.

There was a gap in the middle of the mountains, revealing a faint purple color. It was the purple tumor forest in Beverly Pass.

So, Ryan immediately controlled the blood feather to slowly land.

Because the blue and purple horned eagle beast and Ryan's white wizard robe were too obvious, and the last battle had not been too long ago, it can be said that it was still vivid in the minds of the guards.

They naturally reacted immediately that this was the lord of the imperial sword holder last time.

Soon, the garrison at Beverly Pass went to inform their superiors.

"Haha, Lord Ryan, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." A burly bearded knight walked over in a hurry with big strides and greeted enthusiastically.

It was Gray, the great knight who had helped Ryan interrogate the followers of the Black Flame Cult last time, and the highest commander of the Beverly Pass Guard.

"Hello, Miss Anna."

"Hello, Great Knight Gray." Anna smiled and said.

"How about you two come to my place and sit down and rest for a while?"

"Sir Gray, I'm afraid it won't work this time. We have to hurry on our way." Ryan smiled and rejected Gray's kindness.

"That's a pity. Lord Ryan, Miss Anna, then I'll accompany you two." Gray, with a beard, said slightly flatteringly.

Ever since he had seen the strength of Lord Ryan, who was too young, Gray knew that if he had the chance, he must make friends with him and make a good relationship with him.

"That's troublesome." Ryan looked around and did not refuse.

Because at this moment, there was already a long line of caravans and travelers outside the mountain pass, all of whom were going to pass through the Beverly Pass. If the guards cleared the way, the speed would naturally be much faster.

For Ryan, the sooner he returned, the better, and as an imperial combatant, this was also a convenience he should enjoy.

Hearing Ryan's agreement, Gray waved his hand slightly excitedly. Immediately, a team of guards stepped forward to clear the way and escorted Ryan and his party through Beverly Pass quickly.

But when the journey was halfway through.

Suddenly, a few crows flew over the horizon, accompanied by a few hoarse "cawing" sounds, and quickly passed over the heads of Ryan and others.

"Huh? Ryan, there seems to be something wrong ahead. The crows' calls say that there are many Fengpengs gathering ahead." Anna frowned slightly, turned her head and spoke to Ryan softly.

As a druid, she naturally studied all kinds of bird sounds.

"Huh? Fengpeng gathering?"

Ryan looked into the distance. This was the territory of Fengpeng. It didn't seem surprising that there were a large number of Fengpengs gathering here.

However, when he consciously observed it, he faintly found that something was wrong.

Because there was a faint sense of threat coming from the front and both sides of him.

At this time, in the distant sky on both sides of the Beverly Pass, a large number of small gray dots suddenly appeared, soaring into the air and rushing straight towards his position.

"So many Fengpeng?" Many guards couldn't help but exclaimed.

The travelers and caravan guards in the passage were even more panicked.

"Why are there so many?" The great knight Gray also looked at the sky with a serious face.

"Lord Ryan, this is not right. I have been stationed here for more than two years, and I have never seen so many Fengpeng attack at once!"

Seeing this, Ryan knew that the other party was coming for him.

"Lord Gray, the other party should be coming for me. Please protect Anna!"

After a little thought, Ryan decided on a tactic.

Even an empty horned eagle could not fly faster than the speed-proud Feng Peng, and if the blood-feathered horned eagle was carrying Anna and him, it would be nearly full, so it would be

too late to run. Even if he could run for a distance, he would be caught up soon.

Besides, he didn't even think about running.

"Don't worry, Lord Ryan. Hurry up, escort Miss Anna to the cave nearby to hide." The Great Knight Gray turned his head and immediately said to his subordinates.

But he himself brought a team of elite guards, guarding beside Ryan, and did not leave.

"Prepare the purple tumor wood fruit!"

In fact, at this time, Ryan had already understood who was behind the trick.

It couldn't be someone from the Empire.

If it was, the Empire would have allowed Feng Peng to avoid Beverly Pass to build a nest.

It couldn't be the Black Flame Cult.

Because when he killed the other party's high priest Ericsson at Beverly Pass before, no Feng Peng came to help.

So, it must be the goddess of the underworld, Hela.

Besides, Ryan couldn't think of anyone who had the ability to order Feng Peng to attack him.

"Chirp!"

Thousands of Feng Peng circled above Ryan's head. Soon, a Feng Peng with golden wings, several times the size of an ordinary Feng Peng, appeared above Ryan and Gray's heads.

The caravan and the imperial garrison on the side all changed color and exclaimed:

"This is... This is the leader of the mutant Feng Peng, 'Heartbreaker' Merrick!"

"It's extremely fast, and it likes to use high speed to pass over the waist and abdomen of its prey. The wind blades on its wings will cut the prey in half in an instant, and the intestines will be scattered all over the ground." A caravan guard said this, his face turned pale!

"Yes, that's right. After that, the prey will often die of fear and pain."

"So, it has such a nickname 'Heartbreaker'." A caravan leader next to him also looked pale and echoed.

"Merrick, you attacked Beverly Pass, are you going to declare war on the Fengpeng clan and the Empire?" Gray, the bearded knight, shouted angrily.

"Haha, don't threaten me with such words!" The bird head of the golden Fengpeng sneered in a rather anthropomorphic way.

"If it was to declare war, it would be our queen who would do it, not me."

"Besides, do you think I don't know the agreement between our clan and the Empire? The agreement only restricts our queen from taking action casually, but there is no restriction on us."

"Leave now. Of course, if you want to die with this human, then I will grant you that wish." Merrick narrowed his golden round eyes and said.

Sure enough, he was coming for him, Ryan thought to himself.

"You" The other party's provocative words made the face of the highest commander of the Beverly Pass guard, Gray, the bearded man, blush.

Just as he was about to say something, Ryan patted his shoulder and said calmly, "Leave it to me! Don't worry."

"Then Lord Ryan, be careful." Ryan's calm words seemed to calm Gray, the bearded man, down all of a sudden.

He suddenly remembered that the young wizard in front of him was extremely powerful, just like the other party last time, and

he easily dealt with the chief priest of the Black Flame Cult. Although Feng Peng was powerful this time, he was optimistic about Lord Ryan.

Indeed, there was no point for him to be here at this moment, except for increasing casualties.

"Retreat!" Gray waved his hand heavily, and quickly retreated the guard team to the side.

"A wise choice!" Seeing this scene, the Heartbreaker Merrick couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

In its view, Ryan was already trapped in a jar at this moment, and now the imperial garrison at Beverly Pass had also stepped aside, and the other party was even more isolated and had no chance of a comeback.

Soon, it would be able to hold Ryan's head and receive the Queen's commendation.

"Chi~"

"Kill him, wind blade killing array!" In order to avoid any accidents caused by delaying too long, Merrick immediately gave a loud chirp and launched an attack.

At the same time, it flapped its extremely huge wings. The next second, two crescent-shaped light blue air currents more than three meters long suddenly appeared at the front of the wings, like two blue lightning bolts, directly hitting Ryan.

Merrick's first attack seemed to sound the horn of the charge!

The densely packed wind rocs in the sky began to chirp synchronously, and quickly followed the pace of their own leader and launched a wind blade attack towards Ryan.

Although their wind blades were limited in power and only more than one meter in length, some wind rocs could only release one wind blade, but there were enough of them.

In an instant!

Within Ryan's field of vision, all of them were covered with light blue wind blades of various sizes, rushing towards him like a storm.

Seeing this scene that looked like a natural disaster, the caravan guards and travelers on the side were already trembling with fear, and even those imperial guards who had confidence in Ryan couldn't help but sweat at this moment.

Just as everyone was watching how Ryan would respond without blinking.

"Shadow Step!"

"Metal Barrier!"

In an instant, Ryan pulled out a series of afterimages of different forms, each of which was lifelike, making it difficult to distinguish between the real body and the phantom.

At the same time, four dark silver colors appeared on the surface of his body at the same time, protected by a kite-shaped shield formed by demonized thorium.

But the number of wind blades was too many. Even though Ryan had nine afterimages to disperse the concentrated fire of the wind blades, in an instant, his body and afterimages were all hit by a nearly saturated attack.

Each afterimage was attacked by the concentrated fire of dozens of wind blades.

"Boom boom boom!" Many wind blades directly bombarded the ground around them, and smoke and dust rose up in all directions. The power was so great that it was like a cannonball plowing the ground.

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, 'Heartbreaker' Merrick nodded with satisfaction.

This was also the reason why he was so confident.

In his cognition, as long as the opponent was not an epic-level strongman, facing thousands of wind blades, there was no way he could escape.

"Ding ding clang clang!" At this time, a strange sound came from the smoke and dust.

Merrick couldn't help but narrow his eyes and observe carefully through the smoke and dust.

He saw that the wind blade attack on Ryan's body was almost completely blocked by Ryan's four-sided kite shield, and the wind blade that slipped through the gap in the shield was also crushed by Ryan's bare hands.

"Hey, good speed!" Seeing Ryan's series of afterimages and movements, 'Heartbreaker' Merrick couldn't help but be surprised.

What he didn't notice was that with Ryan's movement just now, the vast army of wind rocs in the sky also began to move with him.

Soon, the formation of the Fengpengs changed from the original circular distribution that attacked from all directions to a dense fan-shaped distribution led by Ryan, and Ryan happened to be at the top of the fan.

Seeing this scene, Ryan couldn't help laughing.

As the saying goes, it's impolite not to return the favor!

Passive attacks are not his fighting style, and now it's Ryan's turn to fight back.

"Metal Transfiguration!"

"Cutting Net!"

"Sharpness!"

Ryan chanted the spell quickly, and saw three closely arranged dark metal nets appearing almost out of thin air in front of him. In an instant, the metal nets lit up with rich silver light.

"Witchcraft Killing Move: Multiple Cutting Nets!"

As Ryan waved his right hand heavily, he saw these three giant metal nets shining with silver light, and attacked the Fengpeng group distributed in a fan-shaped area in the air in front of him one after another!

"Chi! Chi! Chi!"

Ryan had been in battle for a long time, and he grasped the timing of the witchcraft killing move very well. It

happened to be the interval period when most of the Fengpengs had used wind blades once but had not yet used them for the second time.

Although the first metal cutting net was defeated by the combined attack of many Fengpengs' wind blades, the Fengpengs were completely unable to resist the two subsequent metal cutting nets.

The two subsequent extremely sharp silver giant nets slammed into the dense group of Fengpengs.

Suddenly, the Fengpengs screamed in pain, and suffered heavy casualties!

Broken limbs and wings, bloody flesh and countless messy bird feathers fell down like a flood, as if it was raining birds!

The originally dark group of Fengpengs was also blasted into a huge hole by Ryan's witchcraft killer move "Multiple Cutting Nets".

From the huge hole, the blue sky was clearly visible.

The key is that Ryan's move directly beat the Fengpengs to lose all their momentum and fled.

For a moment, the situation was reversed!

"Good!" Gray, the bearded man, blushed with excitement and shouted excitedly.

"Too awesome!"

"As expected of Lord Ryan!"

"Lord Ryan, kill more!" The other imperial guards could not help but praise.

The garrison stationed at Beverly Pass naturally had no good feelings towards these Fengpengs, and they wished that Ryan would kill more.

"You are looking for death!" Merrick, nicknamed 'Heartbreaker', saw this scene, his eyes suddenly widened, and his fierceness was greatly increased.

Originally, it planned to let thousands of Fengpengs under its command collectively perform wind blades, at least to make Ryan in front of it covered with wounds, and by the way, it could be regarded as a test of the opponent's bottom.

But it did not expect that the wind blade killing array did not hurt the opponent, and the opponent's counterattack was so fierce.

In an instant, it used a metal witchcraft killing move that it had never seen before, strangling at least hundreds of Fengpengs under its command.

This made Merrick's heart bleed with pain!

You know, most of the Fengpengs under its command are related to it by blood.

Some are its descendants, and some are its fathers. Although they are not as strong as it, their loyalty is beyond doubt. They are all its members as the leader of the Fengpengs.

In addition, Merrick also clearly sensed that the energy fluctuation intensity of Ryan's witchcraft killer move was not strong, and it was probably just entering the power range of the third-level witchcraft.

In this regard, Merrick, the 'Heartbreaker', one of the four mutant Fengpeng leaders, is naturally not afraid.

Not to mention that the opponent is not a third-level crystal wizard, even if he is, it can cut the opponent in two with one blow!

A sapphire and gold interwoven light swooped down from the sky.

The light rushed straight to Ryan's position, and its speed was as fast as a two-color lightning.

"Sizzle!"

The white ribbon-shaped air wave that Merrick brought when he broke through the sound barrier cut the purple tumor wood on both sides into two pieces.

On the ground, the grass that was still several meters away from Merrick was like being plowed by a lawn mower, and a strip of soil was directly cleared.

The power of this attack can be seen from this!

"Be careful!" Anna opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed.

"Lord Ryan, be careful!" Seeing this scene, the bearded Gray couldn't help but turn pale and shouted to remind him.

If he were to resist this kind of power, he would definitely die!

I wonder if Lord Ryan can resist it.

Merrick used the origin of his title "Heartbreaker", the ultimate move - wind wing cutting!

I saw that on each of its nearly ten-meter-long wings, there was an extremely strong blue blade-like energy gathering.

Facing the fierce attack of Merrick, Ryan's pupils shrank!

The energy on the opponent's wings was more intense than that of several third-level crystal wizards that Ryan had fought, and it almost reached the peak of legend.

"Dragon General Form!"

"Metal Transfiguration!"

"Iron Wall!"

"Metal Barrier!"

"Ang!!!"

With a high-pitched dragon roar, Ryan's blood vessels on his neck bulged, his muscles swelled, and his white wizard robe burst in an instant, with pieces of cloth flying all over the sky.

His exposed skin began to thicken and darken, and pieces of dragon scales emerged. His eyes changed from horizontal pupils to vertical pupils, his fingertips grew rapidly and became extremely sharp, and the last section of his tail vertebrae also began to bulge rapidly and grow into a thick and powerful tail.

The four kite-shaped shields of the metal barrier and the tower shield held in his left hand were arranged in a straight line in front of Ryan. At the same time, he held a huge single-edged battle axe in his right hand.

In an instant, a dragon man with a hideous figure and holding an axe and shield appeared in front of Merrick.

Merrick was not afraid of this, but accelerated further, cutting towards Ryan in the form of a dragon general!

Merrick had an extremely firm confidence in his special move.

Because once a legendary iron-skinned demon tyrannosaurus, known for its defense, was cut into the abdomen and spine by it, killing it on the spot.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Four crisp sounds were heard in succession, and the kite-shaped shield made of hardened fine gold was cut in half by Merrick's giant wings full of wind energy almost in an instant.

Only the thick tower shield with the top-level secret 'Iron Wall' blocked Merrick for a moment.

But it still couldn't stop it!

Just when Merrick's giant wings were about to cut the tower shield, suddenly, a huge dragon claw covered with scales pressed hard on its iron beak and head.

"Huh? This means you don't even need your hands?" Merrick thought to himself.

Because Merrick's iron beak is where the energy of his special move 'Wind Wing Cutting' is most concentrated, and it is also the most powerful.

Just as it was thinking like this, in an instant, a silver arc flashed from the root of its right wing from bottom to top.

That silver light was the single-edged giant axe that used the top-level axe secret technique "Flash Cut".

In an instant, the shield was shattered and the wing was broken!

As soon as the iron beak pierced into the palm of Ryan's dragon claw, Merrick felt a sharp pain in his left wing.

With his left wing cut off, Merrick's body balance was suddenly broken, and his ultimate move "Wind Wing Cut" was naturally out of the question.

Then, Merrick's speed dropped greatly, and he felt a black screen in front of his eyes. His head and iron beak were pinched by Ryan's claws, and he couldn't even scream.

The next second, another silver arc flashed.

Immediately, Merrick felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then he felt his body lighten, as if something leaked out of his body.

At this moment, what appeared in front of everyone was this picture.

A huge and ferocious dragon man, with one claw, grabbed the upper body of the mutant Fengpeng leader Merrick, whose waist was cut off. On the ground was a bloody half of the golden Fengpeng's limbs and various intestines, stomachs and other organs. Although the dragon man's left claw was also dripping with blood, it did not affect its violent aura at all.

Those who have their intestines cut off will be cut off by others.
