Chapter 275: Wizard Ryan (two chapters in one)
Alex, holding the gold-engraved book, rushed to the front, and his own captain Langer and Fry, who were holding swords and shields, immediately released two light green air currents.
As the light green air currents lingered around Langer's legs, it was obvious that Langer, wearing heavy knight armor, was much lighter, and his movement speed was at least 10% or 20% faster.
The light green air current had a stronger effect on Fry.
Fry, wearing leather armor, could be said to be walking very fast at this time, and in a few steps he surpassed the captain Langer who was originally running in front of him.
The two rushed towards the direction of Ryan's battle at the same time. In comparison, Alex was a few steps behind.
The reaction of several members from the Earthshaker Clefttooth Bear Squad was not slow at all, and they had already rushed out of the room at this moment.
But just as they were about to rush forward, they were stopped by Alex.
"Everyone, there is only one person on the other side. I believe that with Viscount Ryan and our captain, it is completely enough."
"In order to prevent the other side from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, I suggest that you immediately protect the important people here."
After hearing this, the members of the Slittooth Bear Squad looked at each other quickly and nodded slightly.
It is undeniable that the swordsman from the Gnom Province in front of them made sense.
If Viscount Ryan and their powerful captain could not take down the enemy, they would just make up the numbers and it would not make much sense.
Moreover, if the other side really made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, then it would be stupid for them to rush out together.
After all, their first task was to protect the safety of Count Habsburg's mansion, which was also made clear at the afternoon meeting.
Thinking of this, several people stopped immediately.
However, at this time, Alexandra, who had hurriedly put on half armor and her hair was still wet, ran out with a hammer and shield.
She had just heard what Alex said. She glanced at her companions and said, "You stay here. I'll go take a look."
After that, she took long steps and rushed towards the direction where Ryan was fighting.
This made several companions of the Cleft-toothed Bear Squad look at each other in bewilderment. They wanted to say, "Alexandra, aren't you from the Cleft-toothed Bear Squad? Our mission is to protect the mansion."
But the words were swallowed back when they came to their lips. At this time, Alexandra's figure had almost disappeared.
At this moment, the battle field between Ryan and Holden had already rushed from the gate of Count Habsburg's mansion to the street. The ground along the way was a mess, with large and small pits.
At the gate of the Count's mansion, the beautiful iron hollow gate had twisted and fell to one side like a twist.
The guards were powerless. First, they couldn't catch up, and second, they couldn't actually help. If they were not great knights, it would be difficult to intervene in this level of battle.
Holden's black robe had been torn, revealing a large piece of skin like snake scales.
This is a secret technique of the Secret Snake Cult to strengthen close combat, but even so, he was still a little bit overwhelmed by Ryan's attack.
Although the information provided by the Black Flame Church was a bunch of shit, there was one thing that was true: Ryan was very good at close combat.
Holden was fighting and retreating at a rapid speed.
But he found that the opponent's dog was really abominable!
Every time he disappeared into the shadows with the help of the shadow area of the street, he was sniffed out by the dog, which made Holden very angry.
At this moment, the battle between him and Ryan was at a stalemate, but the opponent's reinforcements were rushing towards him quickly.
I'm afraid that in less than ten seconds, the opponent will join the battle.
At this time, the situation is bad!
"But, this Ryan."
"Do you think you can defeat me?!"
Seeing that the other person was at least hundreds of meters away from him, Holden gritted his teeth and decided to use his ultimate move to give it a try!
Maybe he could turn the tables.
Even if it doesn't work, he can retreat calmly during the gap between the ultimate moves!
Otherwise, the current situation is too unfavorable for him.
"Great Devouring Snake, please listen to your servant," said Holdan in a deep voice while running.
The next second, Holdan was surrounded by a huge black mist, and then the black air filled the air.
This made Ryan stop immediately to avoid rushing into the black mist that suddenly appeared.
In an instant, a huge black snake with a head bigger than a millstone sprang out of the black mist. It stood up to at least two or three stories high, and the diameter of the snake body was at least 1.5 meters.
A pair of huge yellow-brown vertical pupils stared at Ryan, and a strong pressure instantly covered the whole scene!
Fortunately, as a formal wizard, Ryan's mental power has already exceeded 50 points. Facing the sudden pressure, although the whole person was slightly startled, he immediately recovered his clarity.
And at this moment, the other party opened his huge bloody mouth and pounced on Ryan from top to bottom!
Looking at this, I'm afraid that even a strong warhorse can be swallowed in one bite!
Facing the fierce attack of the giant black snake, since Ryan didn't know whether the opponent was an illusion, an energy body or a real existence, he immediately and cautiously transformed the two-handed war hammer in his hand into a tower shield in front of him.
And saw the huge upright black snake suddenly appeared in the air.
Langgel, who was chasing behind quickly, changed his face and said in shock:
"This is the evil snake transformation magic of the Secret Snake Cult! Generally, only the chief priest can master the secret art."
"No, this is the shadow snake!"
"The opponent is Holden!"
With the appearance of the giant black snake, Langgel, who has rich experience in fighting the Secret Snake Cult, immediately saw through the opponent's origin!
He really didn't expect that the Secret Snake Cult would raid on his team that night just after he arrived in Meister.
For a moment, Langer thought of one more thing.
That is, although Ryan's strength is very strong, the opponent has never fought with the Secret Snake Cult, and it is very likely that he will suffer a great loss when facing this move!
The opponent's incarnation of evil magic is extremely powerful, and it is not only a physical attack, but also mixed with strong pressure and the invasion of shadow energy. If you don't have experience, it is very difficult to resist.
Frye on the side looked at the huge black snake with horror!
If it were him, he would definitely not be able to block this attack.
Even if it is Lord Ryan, if he does not master the defense secrets, it is almost impossible to resist this physical attack mixed with energy invasion.
I can only hope that I won't be injured too badly at that time!
"Iron Wall!" Ryan roared, his muscles swelled!
"Boom!"
The huge snake head and Ryan's tower shield collided violently.
Ryan immediately felt a huge force hitting his shield, and saw the blue veins on his two arms burst out, like small snakes trembling.
The entire lower body instantly sank half a meter into the ground, almost reaching the knees!
"Is this a physical attack?" Ryan's eyes flickered.
But immediately, he felt something strange coming from his side.
"No!"
He saw several python-like black air around him, bypassing the front defense of the shield and attacking from the left and right sides.
"Transform!"
The shield in Ryan's hand immediately began to extend and surround, and soon turned into a ring shield, blocking all attacks!
"Bang bang bang!"
The next second!
The black air dissipated, and the opponent's huge black snake also retracted into the huge black fog again.
Then, the black fog condensed rapidly, revealing Holden in human form inside.
Holden looked like he had seen a ghost, staring at the shield in Ryan's hand.
Just now, he clearly saw that the weapon, which was originally a two-handed war hammer, turned into a tower shield in an instant.
At this moment, the ring shield in Ryan's hand once again transformed into a kite shield.
The answer is self-evident!
"You, you are a wizard!"
At this moment, Holden no longer had the slightest thought of fighting.
It was not until this moment that Holden knew that Ryan, whom he wanted to assassinate, was not only a great knight who had mastered the secret, but also a wizard.
In an instant, Holden figured out a lot!
No wonder his shadow snake was discovered in advance.
Why was the other party so little affected by the pressure of his killer mace!
This was too different from the information provided by the Black Flame Church.
"Damn, the Black Flame Church, the damn thing actually dared to pit me!" Holden cursed in his heart as he flew back.
Not far away, Langgel and Frye, two members of the Blade Squad who were chasing, had just seen the scene of the shield in Ryan's hand deforming from a distance, and they unconsciously slowed down their pace and looked at each other!
Both of them saw surprise in each other's eyes!
"Isn't he a senior great knight?"
"A wizard, and a rare metal wizard?"
Langgel recalled the scene when Ryan was in the conference room, smashing the knight dummy into a piece of broken steel with a hammer, and was shocked for a while!
Alex and Alexandra, who were following the two men, did not see this scene. They just felt a little strange. Why did the two men in front suddenly slow down while running ?
Could it be that
Lord Ryan had met with an accident?
Alexandra thought about it and felt that it was impossible! Lord Ryan
was a man who could escape from the fighting power of the title knight. At the very least, he should have no problem protecting himself.
Immediately, Alexandra sped up again.
At this moment, Holden had already rushed into the large green forest in the noble district. He tore off the remaining black robe on his body and threw it away. The next second, the whole person disappeared. The mottled shadows of the trees under the moonlight were his best cover.
This is why the Archbishop of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, was sure that even if Holden could not complete the task, he could successfully retreat.
In the midst of the shadows, even the greyhound war dog Cookie could not find Holden's trace at once due to the interference of the smell of the tattered black robe fragments.
At this time, Holden finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, he looked horrified!
Ryan's speed did not slow down at all, and he rushed into the woodland after him!
The weapon in Ryan's hand was instantly transformed into a strange big sword. The surface of the wide blade was densely covered with small things, and Ryan's whole body spun at high speed like a gyroscope!
In an instant, a fierce whirlwind swept around!
The most important thing is that the dense four-cornered darts, mixed with sharp sounds of breaking through the air, attacked in all directions at the same time.
Holdan's innate ability from the shadow snake, "Shadow Skin", is a kind of witchcraft that has a near-invisibility in the shadow area, but it does not disappear in the current plane, or directly teleport away.
Therefore, facing the dense, almost airtight, high-speed four-cornered darts, Holdan can only use multiple streams again, that kind of black python-like airflow lingering around himself to protect himself.
Although this move can resist the incoming four-cornered darts, the consequence of doing so is also very obvious.
That is, his position was suddenly exposed.
Even in the shadow area, the python-like black airflow is very eye-catching.
Just as Holden blocked the four-cornered dart, the next second, his eyes widened instantly.
Suddenly , a strong figure rushed out from the smoke and dust!
The two-handed warhammer in Ryan's hand had turned into a shield with sharp horns, and rushed straight towards him like a mad bull.
"Puff!"
This move was too sudden!
Ryan, with the power of the sharp horns, instantly broke into the black airflow, and Holden was unable to dodge, and the whole person was knocked away more than ten meters.
Although he twisted his waist to avoid the heart at the critical moment, the sharp horns still pushed out a fist-sized blood hole in his chest, and his speed was greatly reduced.
Just as Holden was about to contract his muscles to control the bleeding, Ryan had already quickly approached.
At this moment, the horn shield in his hand had transformed into a two-handed sword, slashing towards Holden's head.
Holden was immediately shocked and retreated quickly, and his right hand unconsciously protected his forehead, but the next second, he suddenly felt his body lighten.
The tough right arm covered with snake scales was cut off by Ryan's suddenly lengthened sword!
At this moment, the smooth incision on the arm was spurting blood!
Holden, who lost his right arm, immediately caused his body balance to be broken, and the movement speed of the whole body was reduced again.
"Shua shua!"
Ryan jumped over the opponent in one step, and swung out two swords again, with a bright black sword light flashing!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded!
"Plop!"
Holden fell to the ground. At this moment, his hands and right leg were cut off by Ryan. The severe pain made him twitch all over his body involuntarily, but he didn't know whether it was the failure or the injury that caused his mentality to be greatly unbalanced.
At this moment, Holden laughed and roared a little crazy: "Hey, do you think you won? You are dead!"
"My sister will avenge me!"
No one noticed that a small shadow snake quickly sank into the shadow beside him from his trouser leg and disappeared in an instant.
"Stubborn!"
Ryan punched the opponent in the forehead and knocked Holden unconscious immediately.
When Langer, Fry, Alexandra and others arrived, they all took a breath of cold air!
"Hiss~"
Ryan grabbed Holden's head with one hand, as if dragging a dead snake, and was walking out of the woods with mottled shadows.
The cold moonlight shone on Ryan's bronze skin covered with sweat beads, reflecting a heart-pounding cold chill.
Several people were stunned for a while before they came forward to greet and show concern.
Alexandra enthusiastically supported Ryan's side of the body, and rubbed Ryan's hard arms from time to time with her huge chest.
And a white little hand kept stroking Ryan's strong body with concern, and kept asking: "Sir Ryan, you are not injured! Let me see."
Because Alexandra had just taken a shower, her hair was still wet, exuding the smell of a mature woman, which made Ryan's lower abdomen hot.
In addition, the other party's hand seemed to be moving further and further down!
Faced with Alexandra's enthusiasm, Ryan couldn't help but blush, and immediately grabbed the other party's hand that continued to slide down, saying: "Hey Alexandra, don't worry, I'm fine."
"That's good!" Alexandra smiled sweetly.
"Sir Ryan, this guy is the chief priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Holdan, who I mentioned during the meeting today. I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly and attack you." Langer introduced.
"It turned out to be the chief priest of the Secret Snake Cult." Ryan nodded.
No wonder!
The means used by the other party were extremely secretive, mixed with a series of things such as combat skills, evil magic and snake pets.
It was the first time Ryan encountered it, and he almost suffered a big loss.
"Fortunately, Sir Ryan is strong, otherwise, even if the peak knight was attacked by this guy, he would be either dead or injured."
"Viscount Ryan, Captain, let's go back first." Alex said with a smile.
"Yes! Yes! There are too many people here, let's go." Langer smiled and said.
Ryan looked at Alex curiously, with a light green airflow wrapped around his legs, and thought to himself, I didn't expect that the other party was a rare wind-type third-level wizard apprentice.
Count Habsburg's mansion.
When the insider saw Ryan carrying Holden like a dead snake, and Langer, Fry and others, walking into the Count's mansion through the dilapidated gate, he trembled slightly.
"Damn! I told you that a group of masters are coming."
"You left without even listening to the end of the words!"
"You deserve this!"
Immediately, taking advantage of the slightly chaotic situation in the mansion, the insider wrote a few words about the situation this time, focusing on the fact that this adult was so self-righteous that he didn't listen to his intelligence at all, and then quickly passed the news out.
-
At the same time.
Deep in the Elim Mine.
Laxul was chatting with the Archbishop of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Because of Holden's efficient action, Laxul had a good impression of the Secret Snake Cult, and naturally his words became more polite.
He just smiled and said to Cannon: "Sir Cannon, if you need any materials for the ceremony, we can prepare them for you."
"Thank you, that's not necessary. I have brought all the materials. By the way, Sir Laxul, what is the second thing your cult needs our help with?"
"Haha, this requires the use of earth snakes. We want to open up a place located in..."
Time passed by minute by minute, and the two of them had added several times of Yoton black tea.
Logically speaking, after a few hours, even if Holdan was slow, there should have been news half an hour ago, after all, the Elim Mine was not far from the county town.
This made the Archbishop of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, frown slightly, thinking to himself: "Is this Ryan really that difficult to deal with?"
"But the other party can only make Holdan return empty-handed, and it is impossible for Holdan to stay!"
And Laxul's face began to look bad.
It was still the same problem.
If something happened to Lord Holdan of the Secret Snake Cult, as something happened on the territory of their own church, it would naturally be criticized by the Secret Snake Cult.
At this time, a Black Flame monk came in and respectfully reported: "Lord Burner, the latest news from the county town."
After speaking, the Black Flame monk presented a small bamboo tube for communication.
Immediately opening the note sent by the insider, Laxul's face became worse and worse!
Finally, he handed the note to the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Cannon, with displeasure, and said:
"Sir Cannon, please take a look for yourself. This is the latest news from our church's internal response in the Earl's Mansion."
"Huh?"
After Cannon took it, he just took a look and his face changed, saying: "What! Holden was captured alive?"
"In addition, the situation mentioned above, I think it is unlikely. Holden is not that kind of person."
"Sir Cannon, the problem now is that because of the arrogance of your Lord Holden, not only was he captured alive, but he also alerted the enemy. The other party will obviously strengthen their vigilance. This makes us very passive!"
Cannon remained silent!
He was very surprised that Holden did not come back!
But no matter what, the Black Flame Cult was right about one thing.
That is, the mission was indeed not completed.
However, at this time, Cannon suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at a corner of the room.
From the shadow of the room, a slender black snake suddenly appeared and quickly crawled to Cannon's side.
"Holdan's shadow snake." Ganon's face lit up, and he immediately picked up the small black snake.
He stared into the eyes of the shadow snake for a while.
With a hissing breath, Ganon's face was gloomy. He turned his head to look at Laxul beside him and said, "Hey, now I know why Holdan failed."
"The information you gave is completely wrong!"
"This young man named Ryan is actually a rare metal wizard, not just the great knight you said!"
"What!" As if hearing a bolt from the blue, Laxul was stunned on the spot!
"How is this possible!"
"I don't know if it is possible, but Holdan and the other party have personally fought and confirmed that this is not false." Ganon glanced at Laxul with a sinister look, and continued:
"In addition, the responsibility for the failure of this matter also needs to be borne by your church!"
"And because of your church's wrong information, one of our secret snake cult's chief priests was captured alive by the other party. What do you think we should do!"
"This." This time, it was Laxul's turn to be silent.
If what the other party said was true, then the responsibility for this matter, without a doubt, lies with the intelligence of our own church.
As for the other party's self-esteem, it is just a minor issue that has nothing to do with the matter.
Moreover, the other party communicated through the shadow snake, and the accuracy should be higher than that of the internal response of our own church, so it is probably true.
After a while, Laxul said to Ganon: "Sir Ganon, how about this? We will hand over the earth snake to you now, and you can hold the ceremony immediately."
"In addition, the second request is abandoned."
"But as for Ryan, who captured Sir Holdan of your church alive, it can be said that he is now the common enemy of our two churches."
"So, I hope we can work together to eliminate this threatening Ryan!"
Hearing what Laxul said, Ganon's face immediately eased.
His primary mission in coming to Meister this time was for the ancient creature-the earth snake.
Since the other party admitted that the problem was on their side, and agreed to let him hold the ruling ceremony now, then some things would not make much sense to pursue them.
After thinking for a while, Ganon nodded and said, "Sir Laxul, you are right. This Ryan was seriously injured and captured Holden alive, so he must pay the price!"
"Let me hold the ceremony now. Perhaps, then we can borrow the power of the earth snake and destroy them all!"
