Chapter 231 It's really not me (two chapters in one)
Underground Hall.
Facing the birdman Alonso who was flapping his wings and rushing towards him.
Ryan took out a scroll with wind energy from his arms. It was the witchcraft scroll "Summon Hurricane" that he had obtained from Adams for a long time.
As Ryan tore open the scroll, a hurricane containing powerful energy swept towards Alonso, the new birdman.
Because Alonso had just been influenced by the evil power and became a winged tribe, his body was still in the adaptation period for controlling the wings. He accelerated very fast in a straight line, but it would take some time for him to be flexible and fly up and down.
In an instant, under the influence of the strong hurricane, the birdman Alonso was immediately hit and rolled 360 degrees in the air, and his whole body was blown left and right by the hurricane.
"Shua!"
When he barely stabilized his body, a silver arc-shaped sword light flashed!
Although Alonso was still in the air at this time, his wings had begun to stop.
I saw a cut, from the left side of his neck down diagonally, through the chest and abdomen, to the right side of the abdomen!
"Hiss!" A sound like a high-pressure water gun shot out!
A huge cut on Alonso's body suddenly shot out a ring of smelly blood.
"Plop! Plop!"
Then, the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground was heard!
I saw the body cut diagonally in half, almost falling to the ground at the same time.
Various body fluids, organs, etc. were scattered all over the ground!
At this moment, the two pieces of the body that fell to the ground seemed to be unwilling to do something again, but in return, only some of the limbs twitched violently!
However,
with the passage of life, the power of the evil god seemed to dissipate, and Alonso's dark eyes began to change again at this moment, and the whites of his eyes appeared.
At the same time, a certain clarity seemed to be restored between the eyes.
He only managed to glance at Ryan, his eyes full of reluctance, regret, and resentment. The next second, he stammered twice and died.
After Ryan glanced at the dead Alonso, he immediately focused his attention on the Black Flame Priest whose aura was changing dramatically!
Because Ryan could clearly feel that the other party's aura was constantly rising like a volcanic eruption.
At the same time, the Black Flame Priest's bloated body, which was originally more than two meters tall, was now rapidly expanding by
two meters and a half,
three meters
and three meters and a half.
In an instant, this aura was stronger than everyone Ryan had seen before, including Captain Baron, Earl Habsburg and other peak knights, and seemed to have entered a higher level all of a sudden!
——Outside
the black gas shield.
The shield-carrying sturdy man waved his hand at Rudolf and said, "Don't waste the scroll, give it to me!"
The shield-carrying sturdy man suddenly took off the shield on his back. It turned out that there was a mystery hidden inside the shield. There was a platinum-colored scepter about 1.2 meters long inside.
The sturdy man held the platinum-colored scepter and muttered something in his mouth. Then, he threw it hard at the black shield!
In an instant, the platinum-colored scepter burst into an extremely brilliant white light. At the same time, a mighty and majestic aura filled the surroundings, completely offsetting the pressure of the evil god's will just now!
Looking at the scepter that was like a white lightning attacking the black gas shield, Rudolf was shocked!
He looked at the scene in front of him and murmured, "Could it be that this is the emperor's scepter?"
"Of course not, this is just a replica of the scepter in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor." The man holding a short stick explained casually.
"Compared to the real emperor's scepter, its power is less than one percent, but it is enough to deal with the projection of the evil god's will!"
"Pop!" The platinum scepter broke through the defense of the black gas shield in an instant, as easy as a hammer breaking an egg.
Then, everyone saw the platinum scepter, like a meteor that broke through the sky, rushing straight to somewhere underground at an extremely fast speed! ——At
this time, Ryan took out the leaf that he had kept but never used from his arms.
This leaf, which can feel the surging life energy in the hand, is actually a special witchcraft scroll, a gift from Anna's aunt, the elf lady.
Ryan put it in the most convenient position.
Suddenly, the greyhound war dog 'Cookie' quickly ran to Ryan's side. After thinking about it, Ryan picked up the bow again and pulled out one of the only two steel arrows left.
Obviously, in the current state of the Black Flame Priest, it is best to try first to see if it can be interrupted.
It was too dangerous to go up to close combat with a big sword in hand. If it was a long-range attack, then it was totally possible to try it.
In fact, Ryan had been hesitating before. Recently, he upgraded the pharmacist to obtain skill points. Should he use them to improve the Giant Bear Sword Skill or the Blood Fury Bow Skill?
On the one hand, the Giant Bear Sword Skill was the first extraordinary combat skill he learned, and he still had a lot of feelings for it.
But since he mastered the Tokkar Hammer Skill at the ultimate level, judging from the diversity of combat, at this time, investing skill points in similar melee-type extraordinary combat skills would reduce the benefits.
On the contrary, if the Blood Fury Bow Skill, a long-range attack method, could be improved, it would not only make up for his shortcoming in long-range combat, but also, under the current circumstances, it would be the safest to use long-range bow skills to interrupt the promotion of the Black Flame High Priest.
The current battle situation helped Ryan make a decision!
Without much hesitation, Ryan immediately invested all the remaining skill points in the Blood Fury Bow Skill.
As the remaining skill points went from 3 to 0, the Blood Fury Bow Skill rocketed from lv6 to lv9!
Instantly, a huge amount of memories about the practice of Blood Rage Bow Technique flooded into Ryan's mind. For a moment, Ryan felt as if he had been practicing Blood Rage Bow Technique in a mysterious space for decades!
When Ryan clenched the huge war bow in his hand again, the feeling was completely different!
Especially at this moment, his mind also had some more memories about the Blood Rage Bow Technique's exclusive secret technique 'Blood Rage Strike'.
There was no time to check the system prompt.
Ryan's face was solemn, and the whole person exuded a thick blood-red halo. The blood vessels on the surface of his skin were also stretched, which was extremely scary!
The bowstring in his hand was also stretched to the extreme. At this time, the steel arrow in his hand suddenly appeared with complex and strange blood-red patterns. This pattern was more intense and bright red than when Phil Kraz performed it.
With a "chi" sound!
The blood-red steel arrow broke through the air at a very high speed and shot towards the head of the fat chief priest!
Almost at the same time!
Something was faster than his arrow and hit the promoted Black Flame Priest before him!
Ryan only saw a platinum-colored light, like a meteor falling down, rushing straight to the position of the Black Flame Priest!
Instantly! A painful roar that resounded all around was heard!
This roar seemed to be not the original voice of the Black Flame Priest, but from the great existence behind him!
At the same time, a majestic aura of abyss and height also overwhelmed the terrifying aura that originally permeated the underground hall.
This majestic aura was like facing the supreme emperor of mankind!
Ryan only saw clearly at this time that the light was a platinum-colored scepter. At this moment, the platinum scepter hit the chest of the Black Flame Priest, smashing a big hole like a bucket.
The promotion process of the Priest was also interrupted, and the Black Flame defense around him suddenly disappeared.
Therefore, the arrow containing the "Blood Rage Strike" that Ryan had just shot just happened to break through the defensive black flames and hit the originally round head of the officiant.
"Pop!"
It was like the sound of a watermelon bursting!
The round head on the officiant's fat body suddenly turned into a pool of white splashes of flesh, blood, body fluids and broken bones.
At this time, the system prompts like a screen-sweeping screen came:
[Your skill Tokkar Hammer has been improved, experience value +2392]
[Your skill Blood Rage Bow has been improved, experience value +2106]
[Your skill Giant Bear Sword has been improved, experience value +899]
[Your skill Sharpness has been improved, experience value +78]
(Note: The above skill experience has enjoyed a 30% increase from the exclusive talent "Primary Extraordinary Comprehension".)
[Congratulations, you defeated the powerful enemy and gained 1 gold skill point! 】
【You have experienced a battle, Weapon Master (Legend) experience +1997, Wizard Apprentice (Super) experience +138, Tamer (Super) experience +109. 】
【Congratulations, your Weapon Master (Legend) career level has been upgraded! 】
The Weapon Master (Legend) career level has been upgraded by one level, reaching level 6 (13/3000), which also allows Ryan to gain one attribute point and one skill point again.
Now he has 8 attribute points and 1 skill point.
When Ryan saw that he had successfully killed the Black Flame Priest, he was relieved.
Fortunately, the Black Flame Priest had not yet been completely promoted before the platinum hammer interrupted his promotion process.
I have found a big leak!
However, where did the platinum scepter come from?
Ryan looked around and did not find the source.
Hmm. What is this?
Ryan keenly noticed that around the dead fat priest, there was a special smell still lingering on the body.
This aura made Ryan feel a little familiar, very much like the great being that the Black Flame believers had just prayed devoutly for, but at this moment, that evil charm was much less, instead it was filled with a sense of vastness and greatness
Before Ryan approached, the system prompt sounded again:
[Ding! Unknown high-quality absorbable energy was detected, yes/no to absorb? ]
(Note: This high-quality energy can be directly converted into talent points after absorption.)
Huh?
Can it be converted into talent points?
Looking at the system prompt, Ryan was stunned!
He had thought about this problem before. His talents, such as "primary steel body", can obviously be further promoted. After all, the word "primary" indicates something.
But he has never figured out how to improve his own talents.
Because both skill points and gold skill points are used to improve skills, not talents.
At this moment, the answer appeared!
Although Ryan is still not sure whether this is the only way to obtain talent points, at least it is a way.
He was overjoyed and chose "Yes" without hesitation! '
Instantly, the strange breath or energy that was originally lingering around the fat corpse of the chief priest, at this moment, like a hundred rivers converging, poured into all parts of Ryan's body, and further rushed into his body!
For a moment, Ryan not only did not feel any discomfort, but also had an indescribable sense of comfort and sublimation.
If someone observed from the side, they would find that Ryan was emitting a faint golden glow and an indescribable pressure at this moment.
The next second, the absorption was completed, and this strange phenomenon disappeared!
Looking at the entire underground hall, at this moment, it once again returned to its previous state of slightly damp, bloody and smelly.
[Ding! Convert one talent point in total, please select the talent 'Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)', 'Primary Supernatural Comprehension (Passive)' or 'Primary Steel Body (Passive)' to upgrade. ]
(Note: The talent 'Intermediate Giant Strength (Active)' requires two talent points to upgrade, and the talent points are insufficient at present, so it cannot be upgraded.)
Looking at the system prompt, Ryan quickly realized that the first three talents with the prefix 'Primary' were of one level, and 'Intermediate Giant Strength (Active)' was a talent of a higher level.
Since it cannot be added to the talent 'Intermediate Giant Strength (Active)', how should the remaining three talents be selected?
Ryan couldn't help but ponder.
'Primary Supernatural Comprehension (Passive)' was first excluded by Ryan because it was not an instant combat talent.
This talent improves the speed of mastering supernatural combat skills.
But in fact, Ryan basically directly improved the later stage of supernatural combat skills by adding skill points.
Because generally speaking, after skill level 7, even if the time is shortened by nearly one-third with the 'Primary Supernatural Enlightenment', it still takes a relatively long time to improve it on a daily basis.
As for the two items of 'Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)' and 'Primary Steel Body (Passive)', they can both be classified as real-time combat talents.
Their respective characteristics are also very obvious, one is more offensive and the other is more defensive.
After a little thought, Ryan decided to choose 'Stacked Armor' first!
"After this incident, if it weren't for the last 'Flying Hammer', facing the Black Flame High Priest who has surpassed the peak Knight and entered the next level, the subsequent battles might be extremely difficult."
"But if you have stronger defense, your tolerance will naturally be higher."
After making up his mind, Ryan silently recited the "Primary Steel Body (Passive)" in his mind.
Instantly, a surge of heat flowed through his body. Ryan stretched out his hands and looked down. He saw that the skin on his palms and the back of his hands suddenly lit up with a silver-gray metallic halo.
This halo seemed to flow on the surface of the body like mercury, flickering.
After a few seconds, the halo converged and Ryan's skin returned to its original color.
At this time, a system prompt appeared:
[Congratulations, your talent "Primary Steel Body (Passive)" has been upgraded to "Intermediate Steel Body (Passive)"! ]
Seeing the second newly generated intermediate talent on the attribute panel, Ryan couldn't help but smile brightly.
Just as Ryan was about to check it out, he suddenly heard a rustling and hurried footsteps coming from the hole above!
Ryan turned his head and saw a group of people coming down from above, including the familiar Head of the Goddess Church, Rudolf, and a small group of elite Templar Knights.
However, Ryan was a little surprised that Rudolf and others took a step back, and two unfamiliar men with steady steps walked at the front of the team.
The other party was very cautious and moved forward slowly with weapons in hand, but when they saw the scene in the underground hall at this time, they were stunned! The
empty underground hall was almost a slaughterhouse at this time.
There were scattered limbs and arms everywhere, and the smell of blood and a kind of rotten smell of corpses was overwhelming!
Especially in the center of the hall, the pile of corpses piled up like a small mountain, and the fat body of the chief priest several meters high on the side, were particularly eye-catching!
Of course, in comparison, what was more eye-catching at this moment was Ryan holding a war bow and wearing a banquet dress.
Everyone instinctively pointed their weapons at Ryan, until Priest Rudolf seemed to see Ryan clearly and asked tentatively: "Ryan?"
Ryan smiled and nodded, saying: "Priest Rudolf, thank you for coming to help!"
Hearing Ryan speak human words, Rudolf immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Ryan, you're okay, that's great!"
The two strange men also looked at the boy in front of them with a little surprise.
They didn't expect that under such circumstances, the boy actually survived.
Great Knight?
At this age, it is considered a very good strength, but it is still a little bit to survive under a trace of the evil god's projection.
The young man holding a short staff stopped Rudolf who was about to step forward and said: "I need to perform the spirit-detecting technique."
"You are worried." Rudolf immediately thought of something.
So, his face became serious, and he turned to look at Ryan, saying, "Ryan, for the sake of caution, these two gentlemen from the Imperial Sword Bearers need to perform the Soul Appraisal Technique on you."
"The Soul Appraisal Technique does no harm, it is only to judge the changes in one's spiritual brilliance."
After hearing this, Ryan suddenly realized.
Is this because he is worried that he will be controlled or possessed by the great being worshipped by the Black Flame Cult?
"Of course!" Ryan said without hesitation.
In addition, when Ryan heard that these two people were affiliated with the Imperial Sword Bearers Organization, he couldn't help but take a closer look.
I saw that these two people, one was a burly man with a shield on his back, and the other was relatively thin, holding a short staff, and it was this man who was going to perform the Soul Appraisal Technique on him.
Hearing Ryan's straightforward agreement, the group immediately relaxed a lot.
As the man with the short staff chanted the spell softly.
Soon, a small, snake-like energy beam appeared out of thin air in front of his short staff.
With a light wave of his short staff, the energy snake rushed towards Ryan. When it reached a few dozen centimeters in front of Ryan, it stopped approaching and coiled around him.
At this time, Ryan could feel some special mysterious energy particles interacting with himself.
After a few seconds, the snake flashing with white light suddenly dissipated, presenting a picture of flashing particles scattered down, which was very beautiful.
"No problem! It's human!" The man with the short staff nodded affirmatively.
The young man in front of him was lucky.
Now, the group of people were completely relieved.
And Rudolph stepped forward quickly, patted Ryan's shoulder heavily, and exchanged greetings.
"I thought you..."
The shield-carrying strong man and the man with the short staff also came over at this time.
However, they nodded to Ryan, and then immediately walked forward, as if they had some mission.
The man with the short staff quickly came to the location where the Black Flame Church originally worshipped the witch formation, and inserted a total of three short staffs with metal patterns on the ground around him. Then, he began to chant and cast spells.
Soon, three half-meter-long carved short staffs began to shine with a strong witchcraft aura, and the carvings on the staffs also lit up.
Half a minute later,
the short staff man looked at the empty carved short staff triangle array with a surprised look on his face, and said: "Captain, it's not right! Just now when we were on it, we clearly felt that trace of the power of the evil god."
"But just now I cast the energy absorption magic array, and I didn't absorb anything! It shouldn't be."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?"
The shield-carrying sturdy man who came to the main priest and planned to take back the platinum scepter was also surprised when he heard his companion's words!
After a little thought, the sturdy man pointed to the fat corpse of the black flame main priest next to him and said: "Is it possible that it was absorbed by this corpse?"
"Is that so? There is this possibility." The short staff man touched his chin, thought for a while, and nodded.
After all, such a huge humanoid corpse is not normal no matter how you look at it.
So, according to the previous method, the short staff man got busy again.
He placed the three metal patterned short staffs around the fat body of the Black Flame Priest at the three vertices of the equilateral triangle, and chanted the spell again.
The three metal patterned short staffs lit up!
Half a minute passed again.
Still nothing!
This made the shield-carrying sturdy man and the short staff man look at each other, both with puzzled expressions.
Especially the shield-carrying sturdy man, this is his third time to do this kind of task, how could there be nothing?
After thinking for a long time, the shield-carrying sturdy man turned his head and asked Ryan who was still greeting Rudolph:
"Sir, did you see anything strange just now?"
"Strange things?" Ryan asked back a little knowingly.
He had seen the two busy at the scene just now.
Ryan knew that the two formal sword holders might have just wanted to collect the high-quality energy that had escaped before, but the problem was that the thing had been absorbed by his system.
It was impossible for him to return it to others if the system absorbed it.
Therefore,
Ryan could only and must deny it!
"It's just a trace of spiritual substance that exudes a vast aura." The man with the short staff frowned and thought about how to express it. After all, the mission was confidential and could not be disclosed at will.
Ryan shook his head and said, "I felt the pressure, but as for the spiritual substance you mentioned, I really don't know."
At this time, the man with the shield took off the platinum-colored scepter from the dead body of the Black Flame Priest, walked to Ryan, and said in a deep voice: "The energy on the emperor's scepter has consumed a lot, which shows that the power of the evil god has indeed appeared here."
"Young sir, did you absorb the purified divinity of the evil god just now?" The strong man with the shield stared at Ryan with a pair of tiger eyes and said.
Ryan shook his head without hesitation and said, "Really not."
"Then can you swear?" The strong man asked with a sharp look in his eyes.
"Of course!" Ryan nodded.
"Goddess, if I absorbed that trace of the purified evil god's divinity, please let me..."
At this time, Ryan said silently in his heart. Although the benefits of this thing eventually fell to me, this thing was indeed not absorbed by me, but absorbed by the system.
The strong man glanced at the man with a short staff beside him. The man with a short staff looked at a certain witchcraft prop in the shape of a skull in his hand and shook his head slightly.
Didn't lie?
The lie detector skull did not respond.
So where did the evil god's divinity go?
Damn, it takes a lot of merit to re-infuse the power of the Emperor's Scepter. Not only did I fail to complete this task, but I also had to pay a lot of merit. It's really fucking shit!
The strong man with a shield on his back couldn't help but be very annoyed!
At this time, some nobles and guards in the mansion above also saw or heard the big commotion here, and many people walked in from the hole above.
The leader was the butler of Baron Elliot's mansion who had stopped Rudolph at the beginning, as well as Michelle and others.
Michel was very sharp-eyed. The first thing he saw after entering was Alonso, who was cut into two pieces!
After all, Ryan's sword just now cut into Alonso's left neck diagonally, and his head was still intact at this time.
Although his face looked a little hideous, people who were familiar with it could still tell at a glance that this was Alonso's head.
"Baron!"
Michel couldn't help but tremble when he saw this scene, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
The next second, he fainted and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, several guards on the side immediately supported him.
"Quick! Go and inform Count Habsburg!"
"Baron Alonso, he is dead"
