Chapter 268: Destroy the Strong! (Two chapters in one)
Claire understood the enemy's plan in an instant.
The enemy was afraid that Ryan would use the decapitation tactic, so they cast a sorcery that looked like a "tracking mark" on her, and the opponent's giant axe golem would chase her according to the location of the mark.
This not only eliminated the possibility of Ryan wanting to decapitate, but also, if she could not escape the golem's pursuit, then Ryan would be forced to confront the golem head-on.
Although Ryan had just used a powerful hammer technique to knock down the golem weighing more than ten tons, Claire did not think that Ryan could perform such a powerful attack many times.
After all, people always get tired, and fighting consumes a lot of physical energy, especially the powerful secret technique that Ryan used, which must be extremely physically exhausting.
Once Ryan got into a fight with the giant axe golem, the rhythm of the entire battle would fall into the control of the opponent.
The opponent can control the golem while casting all kinds of weakening spells on Ryan.
In the end, when Ryan is exhausted or makes a mistake, he can easily win the overall victory. After
figuring this out, Claire retreated quickly and shouted to Ryan anxiously: "Ryan, the opponent wants to force you to fight the golem."
"Don't be fooled!"
In her heart, Claire hoped that Ryan would come to save her, but from a rational point of view, this is naturally not a good choice.
Galina's face showed a trace of sarcasm for Claire's behavior.
She had just discovered that the young gold-level swordsman in front of her had a fatal weakness, that is, the opponent's mission this time seemed to be to protect the beautiful daughter of Count Habsburg in front of him.
This can be seen from the fact that when 'Bison' Bidals attacked the opponent's battle formation from the rear, the opponent gave up the attack and returned to guard.
From this point of view, the death of 'Bison' Bidals was not worthless.
It still had some effect.
In addition, the strength of the Earl's daughter is a little weak. If it is a great knight, it will be more difficult to deal with, but if it is a peak knight, it is almost impossible to escape the pursuit of the golem guards.
And she doesn't plan to care about the mission this time.
Her primary goal now is to kill the young gold-level swordsman in front of her.
Because now she has lost two capable men, if it is just to gain the favor of Laxul, it is completely not worth the loss.
But if a gold-level swordsman can be killed, these losses are worthwhile, and even more sacrifices can be made.
Because if she succeeds, she will definitely be rewarded by the church's top leaders and receive rewards from the great hunting god in the black flame prayer ceremony.
As for the task that Laxul asked for - capturing the Earl's daughter alive, it is completely unimportant now.
Who knows, she will be Laxul's boss by then.
Thinking of this, Galina's mouth curled up slightly.
But the smile lasted less than a second, and she was stunned!
Suddenly, a tall black unicorn horse rushed out of the dense fog. It lowered its head slightly, allowing the earl's daughter to successfully step on it.
"Shh!"
After carrying Claire on its back, the trotting wildebeest 'Little Black' raised its head and whistled. It immediately used its innate ability 'Quick Step'. Its agile figure was like an arrow shot from a string, 'whoosh', and rushed straight into the distance!
In comparison, the speed of the giant axe golem guard was completely inadequate, like an eighty-year-old woman staggering to chase Bolt.
Claire, riding 'Little Black', was getting farther and farther away from the golem guards behind her, and she was already safe.
In other words, Galina's plan had almost just been implemented, and it had already failed!
Ryan looked at this scene with a smile on his face.
Even though Claire had not reminded him just now, after the other party cast a witchcraft similar to 'Tracking Mark', Ryan roughly guessed the other party's possible backhand.
So, he immediately ordered the trotting wildebeest "Little Black" to wait at the back.
Sure enough, it worked wonders!
Ryan walked towards Galina with a calm face, saying, "It seems that your plan has not succeeded."
Before Galina could answer, Ryan, who had left the range of the opponent's evil magic, tapped the ground with his toes. In an instant, the ground cracked, and a layer of circular air waves lifted up a large piece of soil and impacted the surroundings.
With the help of the powerful reaction force, Ryan held the skull hammer and rushed towards Galina like a silver lightning!
The opponent's decapitation tactic was unsuccessful, and now it was naturally Ryan's turn to perform the decapitation.
When Galina saw Ryan coming at a high speed, her face immediately became solemn. She immediately chanted a spell quickly. The next second, a figure exactly like her body suddenly appeared on her left and right sides.
Two figures, who were not sure whether they were phantoms, immediately ran in two different directions on the left and right.
Ryan narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly.
Because he found that the opponent's three phantoms all had a breath similar to that of real people.
However, Ryan did not hesitate at all, but continued to rush towards the figure at the beginning.
At this time, the three figures made the same movements, all of them formed seals with their hands on their chests, and seemed to start to cast the same evil spell.
"Crushing Hammer!"
Ryan swung the skull hammer in his hand and hit the opponent's charming face hard!
However, the figure of Galina in front of him did not dodge, but showed a charming smile.
In an instant, the three figures made the same movement, stretched out their fingers towards Ryan, and saw a black air flow, from the tip of her slender index finger, directly shot at Ryan!
"Pop!"
The moment Ryan's skull hammer hit the opponent, it was like hitting an illusory bubble.
Although the 'Galina' in front of him was smashed to pieces by a hammer, the feeling of no force made Ryan realize instantly that he did not hit the opponent's entity.
In addition, Ryan was unable to dodge the attack of three black air streams and was hit by one, and his movement speed was immediately reduced.
Seeing that Ryan was hit by the single-target slowing spell, the two phantoms of Galina laughed at the same time.
The next second, another phantom of Galina appeared behind them.
This scene made Ryan slightly stunned!
He was very sure that he should have hit the opponent's body, but he didn't expect it to be an illusion. This should be the peculiarity of the opponent's witchcraft or evil magic.
This is quite tricky.
Because if the opponent's true body cannot be found, no matter how many phantoms are killed, they will soon recover and appear again like this time, and his efforts just now will be equivalent to useless work.
At this time, the three phantoms of Galina cast the spell again at the same time.
However, this time, the opponent still did not cast any offensive magic, but once again cast the almost instantaneous black beam representing the "tracking mark".
However, this time the target was not Claire, but the black beam instantly shone on Ryan.
There was a faint black light above Ryan's head .
Ryan immediately understood the opponent's plan.
Obviously, this was to make the giant axe golem guard give up chasing Claire and chase him instead!
At this moment, he was hit by the opponent's slow magic and moved slowly. Once caught up, it would be very uncomfortable to be caught up in the two-way attack.
Sure enough, the heavy footsteps of "dong dong dong" approached this place quickly from a distance.
The situation was very unfavorable to him.
Of course, Ryan did not have no solution, but he did not want to use it so soon.
The opponent was a little far away from him at the moment, and Ryan planned to use that thing when he was more confident of killing the opponent.
"But."
"If there are only three phantoms, there is a way."
Ryan's eyes were calm, holding the heavy hammer, and rushed towards the nearest phantom again!
Seeing Ryan, who was hit by the slow spell, was still so persistent in wanting to kill one of her phantoms first, Galina immediately looked at him with sarcasm.
"You are very strong, but your brain seems to be a little bit not working well."
"Maybe, I can kill him alone without the cooperation of the giant axe golem."
Galina did not dodge Ryan's attack this time, but chanted the spell again.
Ryan judged from the content of the opponent's spell that it seemed different from the previous two evil spells.
It is very likely that the opponent is preparing a more powerful attack to the evil spell this time!
In Galina's opinion, Ryan can continue to destroy one of her phantoms, but the opponent will soon be attacked by her "Exploding Black Flame".
She didn't believe that the opponent could resist it unscathed.
Once the opponent is injured, he will immediately fall into a passive cycle, and be subjected to negative magic again to slow down his actions, and continue to suffer from her "Exploding Black Flame" attack until he collapses.
This is the shortcoming of the Knight's Path. If a great knight does not have anything that can dispel negative effects, he will be very passive.
Suddenly, just as Ryan hit Galina's phantom with a hammer, a ferocious war dog the size of a pony jumped out from the side of Galina's other two phantoms, and a raptor with blue and purple feathers swooped down from the sky!
Suddenly, Galina's three figures were attacked by Ryan and his two pets at the same time!
The phantom in front of Ryan was smashed by a hammer!
The phantom of the swooping blood-feathered horned beast also dissipated like bubbles under the attack of its claws.
And next to the last figure, the greyhound war dog 'Cookie' bit on a flexible black membrane.
Although it failed to bite through the black membrane, it undoubtedly exposed the position of Galina's body.
At the same time, the sudden attack also interrupted the evil spell 'Exploding Black Flame' that Galina was about to cast.
This made Galina's face suddenly become ugly.
'Eyes of Charm!'
Galina stared at Cookie's dog eyes and used a rare pupil technique. The next second, Cookie foolishly changed the direction of attack and rushed towards Ryan.
At this moment, Cookie saw Galina as Ryan, and Ryan as Galina.
Cookie's obstruction made Ryan speechless, and he slapped it aside with a slap. However, the delay allowed the giant axe golem guards behind to catch up and suddenly launched an attack behind Ryan!
A cold light with a radius of about six meters flashed by!
Within the radius, all the knights and cultists who were swept were killed in one blow!
After Ryan jumped away, he also lost the opportunity to chase Galina.
The giant axe golem behind immediately caught up. This time, the attack it launched was no longer a huge axe sweep, but a heavy axe chop from top to bottom towards Ryan's head!
Just as Ryan wanted to dodge, suddenly, two big hands composed of black air emerged from the ground and grabbed Ryan's plate armor boots with force, fixing them tightly.
The caster was Galina in the distance.
After a successful attack, Galina laughed excitedly: "Haha! You've been hit by my evil spirit grip!"
Perhaps it was because of the pressure that Ryan had just put on her that was too great. Galina was inexplicably excited to have the upper hand again this time!
In Galina's opinion, Ryan could not make a comeback.
Because she really couldn't think of how a great knight could make a comeback in this situation!
This critical scene immediately made the hearts of the people around hang in the balance again!
The battle between Lord Ryan and the cult leader in front of them can be said to be wonderful and eye-opening!
If it were someone else facing this kind of crisis on the field, there would be a high probability that there would be no hope, but Lord Ryan was different. He was able to turn the tide in the two battles just now. So this time, can he turn the tide again?
Everyone was nervously watching how Ryan would resolve this crisis.
Facing the heavy axe, Ryan sighed softly!
"Ah!"
Following this light but very clear sigh, a dark tower shield suddenly appeared in Ryan's left hand. He raised it high and performed the intermediate secret 'Iron Wall' again!
"Dang!!!"
Violent sparks flew everywhere!
Blocked!
Although Ryan was almost half smashed into the ground, he did manage to hold it up!
"What's going on?" Everyone was stunned!
This time, both the enemy cultists and the enemy cultists saw clearly that Ryan was holding a war hammer in his hand, but what was going on now?
How come there was suddenly an extra tower shield!
Magic trick?
"The thing in your hand is wrong! This is the metal magic 'Metal Transfiguration'!" In an instant, Galina realized something, her eyes widened, and said.
Because as a sorcerer, she just sensed a relatively obvious fluctuation of witchcraft energy.
"You're also a wizard part-time?!"
"But that's still not right!"
"Even if you master the rare metal transformation technique, it's impossible to change metal so quickly!!"
"This is impossible!"
"I understand! You actually... You actually use metal transformation as a natural witchcraft." Galina muttered to herself, revealing Ryan's secret!
Claire looked at Ryan in front of her, also with a bewildered look on her face.
As the daughter of an earl, and also a student of the Imperial Royal Academy, she naturally has an extraordinary vision, so she also saw that Ryan was actually a rare metal wizard!
This...
Some things are no longer a killer once they are displayed, which is why Ryan has been hiding them. It's
okay for ordinary people or knights who don't know witchcraft, but most formal wizards have a wide range of knowledge. Once Ryan performs it in public, the other party can see some clues.
However, this is not Ryan's strongest killer. Delaying exposure is also to cause the enemy to misjudge.
Facing a giant stone golem over five meters high, even though Ryan had a natural talent for strength and mastered many mysteries, he didn't want to fight this big guy head-on.
This golem weighing more than ten tons has a thousand-pound force in every blow, and a head-on confrontation is extremely exhausting!
The problem now is that with Galina constantly tripping Ryan up, Ryan had to fight the giant axe golem guard!
Originally, if the golem didn't have that layer of black light, Ryan only needed to find the right opportunity to hit a certain part such as the knees and ankles many times, and he would soon be able to destroy the opponent's mobility.
But the problem is that the layer of black light absorbed almost all the damage, making Ryan's attack almost ineffective.
After Ryan jumped out of the half-man-deep pit, the slow spell and the evil grip attacked again!
This forced Ryan to use the "Iron Wall" again to block the giant axe golem's slash, but the next second, Ryan used the advanced mysteries of "Crushing Hammer" again towards the giant axe golem!
As the giant axe golem was knocked down by Ryan, there was no worry on Galina's face.
On the contrary, her charming eyes became brighter!
"So he's just a half-baked wizard, I was worried for nothing!"
"Even if you are gifted, how much physical strength do you have left to perform this kind of attack?" Galina shouted in her heart.
This time, Ryan found that the flash of black light on the giant axe golem seemed to be a little dim.
In other words, his attack was actually effective, and the opponent's defense was showing a downward trend.
Whether the opponent relies on the array pattern on the surface to absorb energy, or relies on a certain energy core in the body to drive the defense array, as long as the blows are enough and heavy, the opponent's membrane will be broken sooner or later!
Ryan, who understood this, immediately added a little strength.
In an instant, Ryan, whose physical strength recovered to the peak, once again performed the advanced secret of the hammer technique, "Crushing Hammer"!
What followed became Ryan's personal show.
Because everyone present was shocked by the scene in front of them!
The two-meter-tall "little guy" Ryan held a war hammer and knocked down the giant axe golem that was more than five meters tall and weighed more than ten tons.
The opponent just got up and was knocked down to the ground by Ryan again!
This process repeats over and over again.
The scene in front of me is like a three-year-old child holding a small wooden hammer, knocking an adult man to the ground repeatedly.
The whole picture makes people feel very inconsistent!
Although the previous battle between Ryan and Galina was fierce, it was more based on experience.
But the scene in front of me is different. Ryan's performance is completely inhuman.
Many knights shouted in their hearts. They thought that the huge golem in front of them was a monster, but now they found that Lord Ryan was the real monster!
At this moment, Galina's charming eyes also stared at Ryan blankly.
The brain was blank!
"What the hell is this?"
Galina had such a thought out of thin air.
"Master Priest, Master Priest, it's bad! Look! The energy core is about to run out!"
A Black Flame monk next to him ran over with an anxious look on his face, holding something similar to a wisdom slate in his hand, with a progress bar on it.
Now, the progress bar is close to the bottom line, and it flashes from time to time, as if it is a reminder.
Seeing this scene, Galina turned around and left without saying anything!
Encountering someone who can break the giant axe golem with force... no... this kind of monster!
What else can she say?
"Bang"
followed by another dull collision sound!
This time, the black light on the giant axe golem no longer flickered, and the "Crushing Hammer" performed by Ryan finally hit the golem itself directly!
You know, when Ryan mastered the intermediate secret "Shockwave", he had already knocked down the obsidian giant with one hammer, thus earning the nickname "Meist's Battering Ram".
Now, he has mastered the advanced secret "Crushing Hammer". Without the defense of Black Mang, Ryan hit the chest and abdomen of the giant axe golem with a hammer, creating a basin-sized hole!
Instantly, the internal structure of the golem was crushed!
The golem guard, which was more than five meters tall, fell down and never moved again.
But for Ryan, the battle was not over!
Galina was still on the run.
Some of the fearless Black Flame cult diehards shouted at this time: "For Priest Galina! For the God of Hunting!" and rushed towards Ryan!
Ryan did not stop for a step, but his chest suddenly bulged, the veins on his neck bulged, and his mouth opened wide!
"Roar!!!"
A violent airflow accompanied by deafening sound waves swept in all directions!
Suddenly, the whole face of this group of cultists was torn and deformed by the strong wind with a stunned expression, and the eardrums were instantly ruptured!
Within a range of nearly 20 meters, all the cultists, for a moment, all maintained an offensive posture and stood there in a daze!
The next second!
"Plop! Plop!"
The sound of dense heavy objects falling to the ground rang out!
Dozens of cultists were like wheat being cut, forming a large semicircle, with their bodies neatly falling to the outside!
So many gray-robed cultists did not stop Ryan for even a second.
With a horse whistle, "Shhh!"
The fast-trotting wildebeest "Little Black" rushed out from the side, and Ryan jumped up and chased in the direction of Galina.
Although Blood Feather was affected by the mist at the moment and could not guide the enemy's direction, Ryan had already let "Cookie" track the opponent.
With Cookie's guidance in front, Ryan quickly closed the distance between the two.
At this time, Galina's originally charming face showed a ferocious look. She knew that if she could not reduce the opponent's pursuit speed, she would be caught up soon.
It's not that she didn't consider using pupil skills to attack the opponent after Ryan got close.
But when she thought that the other party was also a formal wizard, his mental strength must be strong, and the effect of the pupil technique would be very poor, or even backfired!
This made Galina give up the idea of using the pupil technique.
After thinking about it, she pulled off a crystal pendant from her neck, her face showing a distressed look, but she still crushed it in an instant and pointed it behind her!
