Chapter 279 Confrontation (Two chapters in one)
He didn't expect that Ryan would be so difficult!
Before, whether it was the internal response of his own church or the black snake message of Holdan of the Secret Snake Church, it was said that Ryan had some kind of physical talent, was good at close combat, and was also a rare metal wizard.
But now, the opponent is not only good at close combat, but judging from the power of the sound wave secret just now, it seems that long-range combat is also not false.
In addition, the opponent's soul extraction effect, I don't know if it is some kind of witchcraft mastered by the opponent, or the hammer in the opponent's hand is weird?
The four black flame guardians are all comparable to the existence of the great knight, but they don't even know the bottom of the opponent.
But in general, this is a bit troublesome.
Of course, it's just troublesome.
Because his combat power has surpassed the peak great knight and ordinary wizard in the general sense, and he is only a small step away from the title knight.
The title knight also has another name, that is, the legendary strongman.
In other words, Laxul can be called a quasi-legend!
In addition, while he is good at general shadow magic such as weakness and slowness, he also specializes in blood-controlling magic such as boiling blood and bloodsucking.
Although this type of magic belongs to the shadow category, there are very few people who specialize in it.
In other words, enemies who want to rush to his side for close combat will suffer a lot. Not only will they be affected by weakness and slowness, but they will also be disturbed by blood magic in the battle.
So, this is why Laxul still thinks he can deal with Ryan when he sees that Ryan's combat power is so strong.
Ryan glanced at the skull hammer in his hand and muttered in his heart: "Four soul fragments"
When he just killed the first black flame guardian, Ryan quickly glanced at his attribute panel. The strength was 46 (+4). As he expected, the corresponding increase was different when killing different enemies.
You know, when he killed Holden before, it was a +5 gain effect.
Now, these four soul fragments have given Ryan a total of +16 strength gain effect.
Ryan is now full of strength, and he feels like he can't be happy unless he hits it.
In the main building of the villa, Frye excitedly said to the captain Langer beside him: "Captain, do you think we can wipe out the enemy here!"
"Wipe out?" Frye's words immediately made Langer stunned!
When the opponent just appeared, Langer's thoughts were just about how to resist the opponent's attack for a while longer.
And if he couldn't stop it
, which route could he take the team and Count Habsburg and others to retreat quickly.
But now, are we already considering wiping out the opponent?
This span is really a bit big!
Langer looked at the excited Frye, thought about it, and felt that he still couldn't dampen the young man's fighting passion, and said:
"That depends on how Sir Ryan performs."
"Captain, don't we rush out to help Sir Ryan?" Frye said eagerly.
Because Ryan's move just now was not only very handsome, but also really boosted morale!
"It's not that we won't help, but we'll be more useful if we stay here."
"Think about it, since they have the legendary 'Earth Snake', why don't they just destroy the villa building?" Alex interrupted.
"They want to capture Count Habsburg alive?"
"No, haven't you seen Count Habsburg's injuries? They want to kill him." Alex shook his head and said.
"I see, they want to rescue Holden?" Frye's eyes lit up and said.
"Yes, the one who controls the Earth Snake is Cannon, the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult. For him, naturally, he wants to rescue Holden, who is also a member of the Secret Snake Cult. This should be the most likely scenario." Alex revealed the answer.
This is also why Ryan asked him to block the news, so that the enemy would be afraid to act rashly!
"Yes, Alex's analysis is correct." Langer nodded and agreed.
Just as the few people were discussing, the situation on the scene changed again.
I only heard the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, smile and said, "Sir Laxul, do you need me to help your church deal with this Ryan?"
"Thank you, Sir Ganon, I think I can handle it. By the way, you should go and see if Sir Holdan is okay."
"After rescuing Sir Holdan, there is no need for this mansion to exist. Then I will trouble you to destroy it with the earth snake." Laxul said.
In front of him, he killed four Black Flame Guardians. If he can't get the place back at this time, but asks the Secret Snake Cult to take action, let alone what Ganon will think.
Even his own subordinates will feel strange, which will greatly reduce his prestige!
This is naturally something that Laxul cannot tolerate.
"Of course, then I will go and see the situation of Holdan first." Ganon nodded, took out something, looked at it, and turned an arc, bypassed Ryan, and walked towards the side of the main building of the villa.
Just as Ryan was about to intercept the Secret Snake Cult Ganon, suddenly, Laxul, who was opposite him, stepped forward.
Suddenly, a strong aura locked onto Ryan.
This made Ryan's eyes fixed, and he focused his attention on Laxul.
This was the second time Ryan encountered such a gaze that was comparable to materialization. The first time was when he encountered the "Tide Piercer" Rulgats.
Of course, in comparison, the pressure brought to Ryan by Laxul's gaze was much weaker.
At this time, Langer in the main building of the villa was staring at Ganon, the high priest of the Secret Snake Cult, who was walking calmly. His face was solemn, and he said:
"Come on, Frye, you and Miss Claire are here. Alex and I will go to stop the other party."
"Captain Langer, let Lord Frye join you. You are a small team. Only when the three of you are together can you exert your greatest combat power." Claire expressed a different opinion.
This. Langer hesitated.
"I am already a great knight. It is not a problem for me to protect my father. In addition, the later the other party finds out that Holden is dead, the safer we will be!" Claire looked at the hesitant Langer and continued.
"Okay! Miss Claire, then you should be careful. This Ganon is very difficult to deal with. We may not have time to take care of you!" Langer's face condensed and said.
At this time, Olena and the head maid Shadiya also ran to Claire breathlessly.
Immediately, the two were attracted by Claire's concentration and followed her line of sight to the center of the messy garden.
I saw that Laxul, who was confronting Ryan, suddenly had a shield with a bloody glow lingering on his body. Judging from the instantaneous situation, this should be his innate witchcraft.
But it wasn't over yet. He was seen mumbling something in his mouth, and the next second, a black film appeared on his body.
Finally, with a wave of Laxul's hand, black flames like vines wrapped around Laxul.
This one was familiar to Ryan. It should be the evil spell "Black Flame Protection" unique to the Black Flame Cult.
Obviously, Laxul was still quite afraid of the power of Ryan's ultimate attack. The defense of the single body against witchcraft or evil magic was a full three layers.
"Galina should have died in your hands, right?" At this time, Laxul seemed to have thought of something and spoke.
"Are you talking about the woman with the illusion spell? She did die in my hands."
"I heard that the tragedy in Shining Gold Town was planned and implemented by you?" Ryan nodded and admitted it, and at the same time, he asked back.
"That's right!"
"Why, did your relatives die there?" Laxul glanced at Ryan, his face suddenly realized, and he laughed.
This time, Ryan did not answer Laxul's question again.
Because he knew who the murderer was, he could naturally take action!
In addition, Ryan now has the buff effect of the Soul Crushing Hammer, which adds 16 to his strength, so he will not waste time.
"Swoosh!"
He touched the ground with his toes, and the soil exploded. He shot straight at Laxul like an arrow.
Facing Ryan's attack, Laxul was not panicked at all. He had a calm face, quickly raised his fingers, and silently chanted.
The next second!
Three black flame fireballs the size of a baby's head appeared out of thin air in front of his fingers.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The black flame fireballs rushed straight towards Ryan!
Ryan dodged sideways, but he found that the opponent's three black flame fireballs were like a thorn in his flesh, chasing him, and quickly turned and continued to attack him.
This made Ryan's eyes condense, and the hardened fine gold attached to the surface of the knight's gauntlet instantly turned into a tower shield!
"Iron Wall!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The three black flame fireballs hit Ryan almost at the same time, exploding continuously, and smoke and dust rose everywhere!
But in less than half a second, a familiar figure, unscathed, rushed out of the smoke and dust and continued to rush towards Laxul.
"Huh? This is a witchcraft attack of more than 35 degrees, and it was blocked so easily!" Laxul thought to himself with surprise in his eyes.
However, although he was surprised, his hands did not slow down at all.
A black mist quickly formed from his fingertips, and then shot straight at Ryan!
Ryan knew that the other party had a special witchcraft blessing similar to mental guidance. He could not avoid the other party's witchcraft attack by dodging alone, so he did not slow down at all and went straight forward. When he
saw the black mist approaching his eyes, he waved his shield to resist.
However, the mist dissipated as soon as it touched the shield, and a cold force suddenly spread, making Ryan feel a little weak and powerless in an instant.
"Weakness spell!"
Ryan immediately knew what the other party was performing, narrowed his eyes, and glanced at the attribute panel.
The three attributes of strength, physique and agility were weakened by about 20%.
The reduction in agility made Ryan's speed stagnate.
When Laxul saw it, his face lit up, and he quickly muttered in his mouth, and then pointed at Ryan again.
This time, a group of blood-colored mist attacked Ryan and hit him instantly.
Suddenly, Ryan felt that the blood all over his body seemed to be affected by some strange influence, and the flow rate was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Although the amplitude was not large, it was also very uncomfortable, which made him stop quickly.
At this time, the remaining few black flame guardians on the side looked at each other, their faces lit up, and they all thought this was a good opportunity to besiege, and immediately surrounded him.
But they were also quite afraid of Ryan's last sonic attack, so they didn't get too close. They rushed forward to 20 or 30 meters, then quickly stopped and turned to control the black flame.
When Laxul saw this situation, he smiled and took out a black and red bottle from his arms.
He quickly pulled out the cork and muttered a spell. The rotten blood in the bottle began to flow out, changing shape in the air, and a strong fishy smell spread.
Taking this opportunity, Laxul began to cast a more powerful spell - 'Corrupted Blood'.
Hit by two negative spells and facing the four Black Flame Guardians at the same time, Ryan's face was calm, and he silently added a point to his agility.
As the remaining attribute points went from 9 to 8, and his agility went from 36 to 37, a warm current was pumped from the heart to the whole body.
In an instant, the abnormal blood flow in Ryan's body subsided!
Not bad!
Ryan smiled.
As expected, this abnormality that affects the body's condition can be directly eliminated with the addition of points.
Then, it will be easy to deal with next.
Ryan turned the skull warhammer upside down, with the hammer head facing down and the end of the hammer handle facing up. The hardened adamantium covering the plate armor gauntlet quickly extended upward at the end of the hammer handle.
In an instant, a two-handed sword with a skull warhammer as the hilt appeared in front of everyone.
But it's not over yet.
Suddenly, a number of four-cornered darts protruded from the smooth surface of the sword blade. This scene made several Black Flame Guardians startled!
What was this operation?
Because they had never seen such a trick before.
"Corrupted blood!"
Laxul felt a little uneasy and immediately pointed the completed witchcraft at Ryan.
Suddenly, a blood mass emitting a foul odor rushed towards Ryan. At a distance of more than ten meters from Ryan, it suddenly exploded and splashed, and the blood drops were dense and almost raindrops.
This kind of corrupted blood is highly corrosive and toxic!
In Laxul's opinion, even if Ryan could deform the metal to resist, he would inevitably suffer some damage.
But the next second, Laxul's expression froze!
Ryan held a strange sword in his hand and suddenly spun at high speed like a gyroscope. The air around him surged violently, accompanied by a sharp hissing sound of breaking through the air!
Nearly a hundred four-cornered darts shot out in all directions!
At the same time, there was a strong airflow like a tornado, mixed with a large piece of soil, which immediately extinguished the corrupt blood that was like raindrops!
Ryan used a metal deformation technique combined with the advanced secret of swordsmanship, "Blade Storm·Modified", to directly turn defense into offense!
"Ah! Ah!"
The three black flame guardians who were eager to try just now were covering their wounds caused by the four-cornered darts and howling miserably.
Although they did not resist, the four-cornered darts were too many and powerful. Many of them penetrated the defenses protected by the black flames and directly injured their bodies.
Some hit their eyes, and some hit their necks, but their strong vitality made them injured but not dead.
Even in front of Laxul, there were six four-cornered darts, one meter above his body, spinning at high speed.
The four-cornered darts had broken through his outermost vine-like black flames and were rubbing against the black membrane fiercely.
"This kind of power."
"It's already at the level of a high-level secret." Laxul narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"The secret of hammer technique, the secret of sound wave, and now the secret of sword technique."
Laxul looked at the dusty place with a serious face!
Suddenly, in the smoke and dust, there was a series of crisp sounds of smashing melons.
Then, a figure holding a white skull warhammer slowly walked out, surrounded by three translucent narrow human-shaped air currents, and all of them had painful and hideous faces.
Laxul looked at this scene and couldn't help but twitch his eyes!
He didn't understand that his three men had been killed at this moment. Ryan used the attack of the four-cornered dart as a cover and quickly followed up to kill several people one by one.
Sure enough, when the smoke and dust cleared.
I saw that the three black flame guardians had already turned into headless corpses and fell in a pool of blood!
Ryan, who had just killed the Black Flame Guardians, quickly glanced at his attribute panel:
Strength: 46 (+27)
Strength reached 73 points!
"Hey, shouldn't 47 be 28?"
"Why is it only 27?"
"It seems that there must be a fake one in the middle, filling the number."
Ryan's mind suddenly realized!
In addition, it is very important that Ryan just found a trick to extend the buff effect of the 'Soul Shattering Hammer'.
When he just killed the seventh enemy, the buff effect of strength +27 began to re-time, or in other words, refreshed the duration of one minute.
Ryan instantly thought of the best way to use the buff effect of the 'Soul Shattering Hammer'.
That is, after the tenth floor, stuck in the last few seconds, kill another enemy who can provide soul fragments, and you can refresh this buff effect again.
"Eight parts," Ryan said softly.
"Eight parts? What eight parts?" Laxul looked puzzled.
"You don't understand." Ryan shook his head.
"Actually, I'm quite happy to see you today."
"Hmm? Why?" Laxul asked with a smile on his face.
With a swish, Ryan turned around quickly and hit the empty space behind him with a backhanded hammer.
"Snap!"
A transparent figure suddenly appeared in the empty space, and at the same time, the transparent figure swayed like water ripples.
As the invisibility effect quickly faded, a Black Flame Guardian was revealed who was about to attack Ryan from behind.
At this moment, the opponent was still holding up the long-handled sickle and slashing down with force, and his face was looking at Ryan with a look of astonishment.
However,
at this moment, the top of this guy's forehead had been completely smashed by Ryan!
This made Laxul's mouth twitch!
Not to mention the failure of the sneak attack, the Black Flame Guardians he brought with him were almost dead.
"Because, I can avenge my friend!"
As soon as the voice fell, Ryan rushed towards Laxul, holding the skull hammer in his hand, leaving a silver shadow.
Laxul's pupils shrank, and his lips quickly pursed. When Ryan was still four or five meters away from him, a ball of blood-colored mist appeared out of thin air and rushed towards Ryan.
But the next second, his face changed!
At such a close distance, the boiling blood technique actually had no effect?
How is this possible?
Ryan, who added a little agility again, immediately calmed down the agitation of his blood, and his speed was slightly faster.
Instantly, Ryan held the skull hammer with both hands, his muscles swelled, and the hardened adamantium covering the knight's hand guard quickly gathered at the hammer handle, and stretched and transformed into a hammer handle.
Ryan held the more than three-meter-long skull hammer and hit it hard!
"Pop! Pop!"
The white miniature skull broke through two layers of shields, and stopped at the third layer of blood-red shield.
But at this moment, the blood-red shield was also hit with a basin-sized dent, almost on the verge of being broken.
The white skull hammer was only a few centimeters away from Laxul's eyes. At this moment, Laxul could clearly see the texture on the miniature skull!
This made Laxul horrified!
"The triple shield, added together, can resist at least 50-degree attacks, and it was almost broken by this Ryan's hammer!"
"What the hell!"
The next second, Laxul quickly retreated, and at the same time, he quickly took out a blood-red crystal ball and crushed it!
As the huge amount of blood and energy in the crystal ball was infused into the blood-colored shield, the blood-colored light, which had dimmed a lot after resisting Ryan's hammer, became much richer and heavier.
At the same time, Laxul cut his wrist with a dagger and chanted a spell rapidly.
As his face turned pale, a large amount of bright red blood quickly flew out from the wound on his wrist, forming a prismatic spike emitting a hazy blood light, and a surge of energy waves came.
"Burning blood strike!"
Such a strong energy wave immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
At this time, Ganon, the chief priest of the Secret Snake Cult in the main building of the villa, had already arrived at the door of the detention room, and Langer and Fry were in a very tragic situation at the moment.
Langer saw that the heavy metal shield in his hand had been cracked, his left arm was broken, and there was an obvious dent on the thick knight's plate armor on his chest.
At this moment, Frye's whole body was twitching involuntarily, and his head tilted to one side. This was because his neck had been broken. His strong vitality prevented him from dying immediately, but he had obviously completely lost his fighting ability.
Alex was the only one who could still stand in place. He was gasping for breath and looking at Ganon with a look of fear!
At this time, Ganon, who was sure of victory, looked out the window in surprise and said, "What a strong energy fluctuation?"
Alex also looked in the direction of the other party's sight.
In the center of the venue.
The hardened adamantium in Ryan's hand quickly turned into a kite-shaped shield, but a cylindrical section quickly protruded from the surface of the shield, like sesame flowers blooming, and another kite-shaped shield was generated. Finally, another one.
In an instant, three kite-shaped shields formed by hardened adamantium blocked a prism emitting a strong bloody light!
"Bang!!"
The first shield shattered instantly. Although the blood-colored energy storm weakened a lot, it still rushed towards Ryan.
The second shield also shattered immediately afterwards.
The shock wave was further weakened, and Ryan's muscles were knotted, and the ground was plowed into two nearly one-meter-deep grooves by his plate armor boots!
"Iron Wall!"
The third shield twisted and deformed, but it was blocked after all!
What Laxul didn't expect was that because the explosion was too close to him, he also suffered an explosion shock wave almost as strong as Ryan's!
At this moment, the rich blood-red shield that had just been infused with energy was like a leaf swaying in the wind and rain, and the light was extremely dim!
"Pop!"
The blood-red shield burst like a bubble!
Laxul widened his eyes and stared at the front, and he didn't move for a moment!
I saw that his forehead was in close contact with a white bone hammer.
"The ninth one!" A familiar voice sounded.
Thank you Shuya Wutang for the 100 starting coins reward!
