Chapter 425 Goddess of the Underworld Sea

It's not that Ryan didn't consider transforming into the second stage dragon general form to fight the enemy.

But the problem is that although the absolute strength and defense after the transformation will be greatly improved, the movement speed will not be improved much.

In fact, due to the large body, the movement in a small range is not as flexible as the human form.

This is also a common problem after the body becomes huge.

But Lambert on the opposite side has an extremely fast movement speed and an unparalleled sword speed. He is a top swordsman who can grasp the opponent's weaknesses.

Therefore, in this case, it is unwise to use transformation to fight Lambert. It

is very likely that the opponent will catch the flaw.

Of course, this does not mean that Ryan can't use transformation to fight the enemy.

Facing Lambert's magnificent peak attack, Ryan's right arm muscles suddenly swelled more than double, and dragon scales appeared on his skin. This partial body dragonization is a new ability he has after his blood concentration reaches 'high'.

"Dang!!!"

Ryan's huge right arm held the sword horizontally in front of him, and he caught Lambert's powerful killing move with just one hand.

At this moment, Lambert, who was in a jumping and slashing posture in the air, had his eyes wide open, his mouth wide open in a roar, and his muscles tensed, as if he had released his faith, force, and strength in this attack.

In an instant, Ryan felt a surge of power coming from the sword, like a tide, surging towards him layer by layer.

But Ryan remained motionless, but his body trembled slightly. This was not the kind of trembling that could not be supported, but more like some kind of force.

It seemed that the huge force was transmitted to the ground in some way.

The ground under Ryan suddenly sank into a bowl shape, and the ground around his feet cracked like a spider web and extended outward.

But the next second, Ryan's counterattack arrived!

"Bang!!!"

Ryan's left fist, which had been empty all along, struck out like lightning, and immediately made a dent as big as a bowl in Lambert's abdomen, and a bulge on his back. The sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand, and the whole person was immediately broken in half and flew backwards.

Imperial Capital Tamriel.

In the command hall on the second floor of the Astrologer Platform.

"Marshal Alfred, this Lambert is quite powerful. Is it possible to ask Lord Ryan to show mercy? Perhaps, he can contribute to the subsequent encirclement and suppression missions."

At this time, the old army general named Gobert coughed and said.

"General Gobert, then how can we ensure that the other party will not suddenly trip Lord Ryan up or even use a black hand in the subsequent encirclement and suppression battles?" Augustus frowned and retorted when he heard it.

You didn't say it earlier, and now that you see Lambert is at a disadvantage, it's hard not to doubt the motive for making this suggestion.

"Ahem, General Augustus, Lambert's background is quite clear. He is the eldest disciple of the Empire's Guardian Tide Sword Saint Leon. From this perspective, I think he should have no reason to betray the Empire."

"Besides, the conflict between him and Lord Ryan is just an internal conflict within the Empire, isn't it?"

Hearing the 'internal conflict within the Empire', General Augustus swallowed back what he was going to say.

From a certain perspective, this sentence is very politically correct.

When facing foreign enemies, we should unite all the forces that can be united.

However, the most important point in this matter is to consult the person involved, Ryan.

Competitions and duels are sacred things.

The winner has absolute rights.

This is why the command hall was unable to stop it at the beginning.

"Tatia, contact Baldwin and ask him to talk to Lord Ryan at the right time to see if he is willing to give Lambert a chance." Marshal Alfred thought for a moment and said to Tatia on the side.

At this moment, Ryan was still fighting with Lambert, so it was not suitable for him to contact him. Therefore, Alfred asked Tatia to contact Baldwin who was also at the scene.

"Yes, Marshal."

At the same time.

In the secret realm of Dragon Valley, Lambert's situation was not good since Ryan took over Lambert's sword shadow clone slash.

"Crackle!"

There was a sound of bones breaking!

After Lambert's sword was blocked, Ryan's shoulder hit his chest with a move similar to the Iron Mountain Lean, and he flew backwards like a cannonball.

Ryan's figure flashed, and just when he was about to completely get rid of Lambert, suddenly, Baldwin, the captain of the army next to him, shouted: "Show mercy, Sir Ryan."

This made Ryan pause and look at Baldwin in confusion.

Baldwin walked up quickly and whispered a few words in Ryan's ear.

"Sir Ryan, the command hall said that your opinion will prevail in the end."

Baldwin did not whisper the last sentence, but the two Ereda women beside him heard it clearly.

Ryan looked at Lambert, who was lying on the ground and vomiting blood, and thought, 'I'm afraid he can't help much in this state, right?'

But Ryan thought again, since Marshal Alfred had spoken, he had to give the Marshal a face.

"Sir Lambert, if you are willing to help the empire complete an important task, then the competition can end here."

"Who wants to die when they can live? Sir Ryan, I agree!" Lambert said without hesitation while vomiting blood.

"Besides, this matter has come to this point, and I have completely cleared the matter with the Durham family."

"Don't you want to ask what the task is?"

"No need, I have confidence in Sir Ryan!"

When Ryan heard Lambert's words, he couldn't help but smile. He didn't realize that Lambert was so good at talking.

After thinking for a while, Ryan turned to Ereda and said, "Ereda, you treat him. Time is a bit tight. I'll go first and you can come later."

"Okay, Lord Ryan." Ereda nodded.

Although Ereda is a shadow wizard, he also masters witchcraft like "dark healing" that can quickly recover from injuries. Of course, the side effects are not small.

Just as Ryan rushed to the meeting point, he saw a sturdy man wearing a gorgeous white wizard robe with gold edges and holding a cane with a spherical blue gem on the top. He was already waiting here.

He looked majestic, as if he had been in a high position for a long time. At this moment, he was frowning and looking to the north, as if he was in a trance.

In less than two minutes, another person arrived.

The man looked to be in his early forties, wearing a mithril-silver azure wizard robe, holding a strange cane with three prismatic crystals floating on the top.

The wind energy particle fluctuations emitted by the three crystals above the cane were extremely significant.

"Agrippa, you are on time." The man with the blue gem cane said without turning his head.

"Sir Nick, long time no see." The man in the azure wizard robe said with a smile without taking it seriously.

This Sir Nick is a legendary peak powerhouse in the inner guard force, and the inner guard force is responsible for guarding the palace, and is the most arrogant.

If it weren't for the special location of this mission, the secret realm of Dragon Valley, the inner guard force would not have sent anyone to participate.

"Hey, Sir Nick, where are your two team members?" At this time, Agrippa looked around and said with a little surprise.

His team members were infected with the soul-eating plague, and their strength was greatly reduced. Bringing them here to fight against the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld would be a suicide mission, but Nick's inner guard team only had him.

"I asked them to kill the teenage dragons infected by the void beasts. They are still a little short of strength when facing the incarnation of the gods." Captain Nick finally turned around while speaking.

Agrippa thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Sir Nick, you have considered it very carefully. Indeed, with the opponent's strength, ordinary team members may not be able to play any role."

Agrippa actually agreed with this in his heart.

Nick and he were on par in strength.

In comparison, the team members' strength was slightly inferior.

If it was a normal mission, having two more team members with late legendary strength would be a help, but it would be different when facing the incarnation of the gods. If

the strength is not at the extreme level of the legend, I am afraid that they will not be able to take a single move.

Even he did not have much confidence when he knew that he was facing the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld.

After all, the opponent was a god!

"I heard that there is another person, who is also your sword bearer? Why hasn't he come yet?" Nick frowned and asked.

"Sir Nick, the Lord Ryan who is coming is very famous in the imperial capital recently. However, although I am a sword bearer, I have not seen him yet." Agrippa said.

Nick immediately understood what Agrippa meant when he heard it.

The other party said that although he and Ryan belonged to the same sword bearer system, they were not familiar with each other.

"It will be a tough battle later. How do you think we should fight?" Nick smiled and asked.

At their level, the command hall will not intervene in the specific battle arrangements, and they will discuss it on their own.

Unless there is a stalemate, the command hall will be responsible for coordination, but it will only point out who will lead it, and will not go into the specific execution of the battle.

"Oh? Sir Nick, do you have a plan?" Agrippa did not answer directly, but smiled and asked back.

"It would be best if someone can attract the attention of that person directly, so that our crystallization killer move can be used." Nick said.

"That's right." Agrippa immediately understood what Nick meant, nodded, and said.

At this time, Nick glanced at the thin film and said, "Mr. Ryan is already one minute late. I think latecomers should take more responsibility. What do you think, Mr. Agrippa?"

Since Agrippa had made it very clear between the lines just now, and he was not familiar with Ryan, Nick was very sure that the other party would not object to his opinion.

Fighting with the incarnation of the gods is very dangerous.

If someone can attract the firepower head-on, it will naturally be much safer.

"Well, in principle, I agree with Mr. Nick's opinion. However, I think we should clarify this matter with Mr. Ryan before the battle." Agrippa hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Although Ryan has been very famous in the imperial capital recently, in Agrippa's eyes, Ryan's strength should be inferior to that of the old legendary strongman Nick.

Speaking of Ryan, Ryan is here.

"Sorry, you two, I'm a little late for two minutes." At this time, Ryan's voice came from a distance.

But before he finished speaking, his tall figure suddenly arrived, almost faster than the sound.

Huh? Not bad.

This scene was naturally seen by Nick and Agrippa, and both of them had this thought in their minds.

"Sir Ryan, you are late. You should know that being late is a taboo during the mission." Nick said with a serious face.

"Oh? May I ask who you are?" Ryan raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party and said.

"Nick, I am from the Internal Guard."

"What does Captain Nick mean?"

"I think as a latecomer, you should apologize. In the subsequent battles, Sir Ryan, you should shoulder more responsibilities, such as attracting the attention of that person in the battle."

Hearing this, Ryan immediately understood why the other party was talking about his lateness.

It turned out that the purpose was here.

In fact, when Ryan received this mission request from Marshal Alfred, he instinctively felt that due to the last incident, once Hela, the goddess of the underworld, saw him, she would definitely take him as the main target.

In other words, without any tactical arrangements or discussions, he would naturally attract firepower, and at the same time, he had already prepared for this in his mind.

But the problem was that the words of Captain Nick in front of him made him uncomfortable.

He could bring up the matter of attracting firepower, but the premise was that he took the initiative to propose it.

"I don't agree." Ryan shook his head and said.

"Didn't the command hall tell you that they asked you to come here to cooperate with us? You are disobeying orders!" Nick's face was solemn, and a powerful mental wave pressed towards Ryan.

"I'm sorry, the task given to me by the command hall is not cooperation, but support."

"Is there any difference?" Agrippa on the side couldn't help asking.

"Of course there is a difference. There is a primary and secondary distinction in cooperation, but there is no distinction in support." Ryan said.

"Well, Lord Ryan, now is not the time to have conflicts. The three of us are fighting against the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld together, and we should work together." Agrippa acted as a peacemaker and said.

"Once the battle starts, we always have to have a tactic, such as who attracts the other party's attention, who takes the lead, and who restricts. Lord Ryan, what do you think?"

"Among the three of us, my crystallized killer move is quite powerful, and I believe it should be able to cause some damage to that person. As for Captain Nick, he is good at controlling the situation and can create many opportunities for our offense."

"And Lord Ryan, I admire your outstanding record very much. From your record, you have hardly suffered any serious injuries in battle, which shows that you are very good at defense."

"So, Captain Nick proposed this, hoping that you can attract the other party's attention."

When the other party said this, he smiled and seemed polite.

"Of course, if Lord Ryan has a better suggestion, you can also put it forward and we will discuss it together." Finally, Agrippa said so.

After thinking for a while, Ryan nodded and said,

"Okay! In that case, Mr. Agrippa, I will attract the other party's attention."

"However, I cannot guarantee that the other party's attention will always be on me."

As soon as Ryan finished speaking, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of both of them.

"Of course, Mr. Ryan, just do your best." Agrippa nodded quickly and smiled.

But in his heart, he was thinking, 'As expected, he is a young man. After a few nice words, he took the initiative to do this job. '

While Nick on the side, although his face was still solemn, he was actually laughing in his heart.

He also felt that Ryan was still too young.

With him and Agrippa playing the role of the red cop and the white cop, Ryan took the initiative to do the most dangerous job after just a few words.

But what the two did not know was that when Nick asked him to attract firepower, Ryan had already sensed the secret between the two.

Because if they really regarded him as a member of the team, the two would say a few words, such as "When you can't do it, I will do this and that", or "If you really can't hold on, just retreat and ensure your own safety first".

But there was no such words.

This is not a team that cooperates sincerely.

As for why Ryan agreed?

First, it is because the siege of the goddess of the underworld Hela is very important, and the imperial capital astrologer platform will definitely pay attention to it.

In this case, it is very important to stand on the commanding heights of morality.

His agreement represents his attitude.

At that time, if there is any unexpected situation, he will have nothing to blame.

Second, because attracting firepower is actually a matter of great freedom.

After all, attracting 90% of the attack is attracting firepower, but isn't it 80% or 70%?

Since it is a three-person battle, in fact, as long as he attracts more than 40% of the firepower, it is basically up to standard.

More than half, no one can blame him.

At this time, a yellow flare appeared in the sky in the distance.

Seeing this, Nick turned around and nodded slightly to the two of them, saying, "Captain Agrippa, Lord Ryan, let's go! That person has arrived."

The three of them immediately flashed and rushed towards the direction of the flare.

Since the other party was a god, even if it was an incarnation, it was impossible to track him, and they could only determine his approximate location.

Therefore, the command hall arranged other executive personnel to search nearby. Once they found the trace of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, they would immediately fire a flare to indicate the location.

As the three of them quickly moved towards the target point, they saw dozens of ferocious species of various shapes, as if they were frightened by something, rushing out of the forest like crazy and rushing towards them.

And there were more birds of prey and strange insects, all of which fled in all directions.

Of course, these did not pose any obstacle to Ryan and the other two.

A spiral of lightning flashed on Nick's body, and a giant ferocious species that looked like a wild boar twitched and fell to the ground.

This made Ryan's eyes flash with a hint of light.

It seems that what Agrippa said just now, that Nick is good at controlling the situation and has the opportunity to restrict the goddess of the underworld sea, is not completely bragging.

Agrippa was surrounded by cyan airflow, which was different from the effect of "Swift Wind" that only lingered on the legs. Ryan knew that the opponent was the third-level wind magic "Whirlwind Barrier".

A ferocious species in the shape of a velociraptor rushed in front of Agrippa and immediately planned to bite him.

But the next second, the opponent's strong figure of more than three meters tall was engulfed by the cyan airflow and fell to the side involuntarily. At the same time, there were several long and deep wounds on the opponent's body.

Immediately, blood spurted out from the wound.

This whirlwind barrier is a relatively rare attack and defense magic in the wind magic. It can not only deflect the enemy's attack, but also kill the enemy.

In the green airflow lingering around the body, there are actually dense and tiny wind blades that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

In other words, once the enemy hits this whirlwind barrier, it will be quickly cut by the tiny wind blades.

While Ryan was observing the two, Nick and Agrippa were also observing Ryan.

However, they were even more surprised.

Because when Ryan encountered a ferocious species or a bird of prey, his figure flashed and suddenly disappeared, but in fact, Ryan had bypassed the opponent.

With the perception of the two, they could naturally perceive how Ryan did this.

Simply put, Ryan relied on the instantaneous speed change of movement to easily avoid all the ferocious species rushing towards him as if he was strolling in the garden.

Nick glanced at Ryan and thought to himself.

If it weren't for the metal shield lingering on his body, he would look like a title knight, not a third-level crystal wizard.

After passing through a forest, the scene ahead was clearly visible.

A beautiful black-robed girl familiar to Ryan was standing in the center with her back to them, and on the ground around them, three imperial personnel were lying, obviously breathing out more than breathing in.

Ryan was a little familiar with two of them, who were the people who participated in the secret realm re-examination together.

As for the other one, Ryan had never seen it, but the other party had a similar temperament to Nick, and should be an internal security personnel.

"Quide!" Nick exclaimed.

Sure enough, as Ryan guessed, one of them was Nick's team member.

"Three more are here." Hela turned slowly and said.

"Huh? I didn't expect you to come here on your own initiative." As soon as she turned around, Hela's beautiful eyes fixed on Ryan and said.

"Shouldn't I come?" Ryan smiled.

"If you come here on your own initiative, I can promise you that you will die happily." A smile appeared on Hela's beautiful face.

She didn't mean to seduce, but the three people present all felt seduce.

As for the words of the goddess of the underworld, Ryan naturally understood what she meant.

But Nick and Agrippa didn't understand.

But in the eyes of the two, it was not important.

The important thing was that Ryan attracted the attention of the goddess of the underworld as soon as he appeared, which was obviously a good thing!

Because it meant that the first step of the tactic had been completed.

For these two, if they could complete the task smoothly, it would be the best, but if not, they would evacuate as soon as possible to ensure their own safety.

This is why they let Ryan attract attention.

The reason is simple. If you become the focus of an incarnation of a god, then the difficulty of escaping will be hell-level.

Nick and Agrippa looked at each other, and quickly separated from each other, coming to the left and right sides of the goddess of the underworld.

If you look down from above, you can see that Ryan, Nick and Agrippa are standing in a triangle, surrounding the goddess of the underworld Hela in the middle.
