Chapter 283: Fierce Battle (Two chapters in one)
Because the ancient hero Mung, who was originally unscathed, suddenly roared in pain!
Just behind his tall figure, there was a solid, lifelike transparent shadow, which was hit out of the body by Ryan's hammer. At this time, it was at least one meter away from the body.
Not only that.
In an instant, the transparent shadow that left the body suddenly had fist-sized holes in dozens of places up and down.
Then, the transparent shadow, which had dimmed a lot, was quickly pulled back into the body of the ancient hero Mung as if under the influence of some kind of gravity.
Although the transparent shadow had returned to the body, the ancient hero Mung was vomiting dark red blood, kneeling on one knee, and struggling to support his body with the hammer, shaking with pain!
"This" Freeman and others looked at this scene with an expression of seeing a ghost!
Because according to the records in the church's books, this ancient hero Munger is not an ordinary legendary strongman, but an epic-level strongman of the ancient church.
Even though he is far from recovered and his strength is almost one tenth of what it was.
But one tenth of the remaining strength of an epic-level strongman is definitely at the level of a legendary strongman!
'A lean camel is bigger than a horse'.
So, they never thought that such an ancient top strongman in their own church would be injured by a young man from the empire who is obviously not a legendary yet!
The problem is that it looks like the injury is quite serious!
Claire originally saw Ryan's arm muscles bursting inch by inch, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned. She was very worried, but she didn't expect the situation to turn around so quickly.
The enemy who was at least at the legendary level was actually injured.
No, it was more seriously injured!
The phantom just now seemed to be a soul, and the direct injury to the soul is obviously more difficult to recover than the injury to Ryan's body.
In the field, Frye showed surprise on his face, and immediately turned to his captain Langer and said:
"Captain, I told you! With the help of Lord Ryan, we can still fight."
"This." Langer's head was also buzzing at this time.
He didn't understand why such a legendary strongman, and obviously not an ordinary legendary strongman, was beaten like this by Ryan's hammer?
Could it be that Ryan is also a legendary strongman?
But this is impossible!
The battle between Ryan and the Snake Cult Ganon has been going on for a long time.
In terms of strength, Ryan is still a certain distance away from being a quasi-legend. He can defeat the High Priest Ganon of the Snake Cult more by relying on the blessing of the talent of "supernormal physical strength".
How did Ryan do it? Langer really couldn't figure it out!
"Swish~~~"
Ryan's legs were in a forward and backward kicking posture, his muscles were knotted, and he finally stood still after plowing two gullies more than ten meters long and nearly half a meter deep on the ground of the garden!
His right hand was in pain, but Ryan's eyes were fixed on the ancient hero Munger, without blinking.
When he saw that the other party's transparent shadow had been hit out, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured, he immediately smiled.
"Real damage, it turns out that it directly affects the soul?"
"It seems that this battle is still going to be fought!"
Ryan could clearly feel that the opponent's momentum was declining, and the originally tight and seamless surrounding field was also much weaker at this moment.
It was like the ribbons that originally fluttered in one direction, now they were messy and fluttered in all directions, revealing many gaps in the middle.
"But. I still need to recover from my injuries first."
Adding attribute points can only restore physical strength, but not injuries.
Ryan quickly glanced at the Beast Sacrifice (Legend) panel and focused his attention on the core skill 'Beast Vitality'.
In order to improve the combat power of the Weapon Master (Legend) as soon as possible, he basically used all his skill points on extraordinary combat skills, so the core skill of "Beast Vitality" was still at level 1.
Of course, another reason was that Ryan thought that level 1 was enough at that time.
But today, the situation is different.
There are no large ferocious beasts nearby for him to absorb. If he wants to recover from his injuries, he can only rely on absorbing the three combat pets under his command!
Without any hesitation, Ryan added 2 skill points to "Beast Vitality lv1 (Active)".
The icon also changed slightly, from a palm pressing on the head of a crawling beast to a state of three beasts surrounding it.
The small text on the lower right corner of the icon changed as follows:
[Beast Vitality lv3 (Active): As a beast sacrifice inherited from the ancient trolls, you can quickly absorb the vitality and energy of beasts or contracted pets within a certain distance to heal your own injuries and restore your energy. 】
(Note: You can cast it on three beasts or contracted pets at the same time, and the maximum limit shall not exceed 30% of the opponent's upper limit of vitality.)
(Note: When you absorb the beast, you will be negatively affected by the beast's soul, but the contracted pet will not.)
Immediately, Ryan noticed the changes after the skill was upgraded, and added a few keywords "within a certain distance", "at the same time" and "three".
As Ryan's mind moved.
A dog the size of a pony suddenly rushed out, came to Ryan and quickly lay down, and from another direction, a tall and strong black wildebeest rushed over.
Just when everyone thought that Ryan was going to mount his horse and retreat, a majestic and strange bird of prey swooped down again above Ryan's head.
In an instant, three green air currents that were visible to the naked eye and fluctuated like high-voltage currents were infused into Ryan's body from the bodies of the three violent (supernatural) beasts.
Suddenly, Ryan only felt three surging and surging heat currents coming from the three war pets under his command.
This heat flow has the special effect of restoring energy and healing injuries. Ryan half-closed his eyes and felt the three heat flows quickly in his severely injured right arm.
He could feel the tingling sensation from his right arm, the injured muscles were quickly repaired, and the skin began to heal rapidly!
Although the upper limit of life and vitality that Ryan could absorb was only 30% of the total number of his war pets, the vitality of the violent beasts was already very strong, and there were three of them.
Therefore, it took only a few seconds for the injury on his right arm to recover as before!
However, the expressions of the three war pets looked a lot more depressed. Obviously, they had borne an unbearable burden for their masters.
When Ryan stood up again, he was full of energy!
Freeman and other Black Flame monks who saw this scene shouted in their hearts, "Fuck you!"
Because Ryan's operation just now felt more like a cult than them!
The green light just now should be absorbing the source of life, right?
Is this something that a decent person can do?
"Go, help Lord Mung up, we will retreat immediately!" Seeing that things were impossible, Freeman quickly made a decision.
"As you command, sir."
Several Black Flame monks immediately ran to the ancient hero Mung, who was kneeling on one knee, intending to help the ancient strongman of their own church to evacuate quickly.
Suddenly, "Puff!", two Black Flame monks screamed!
The ancient hero Mung's hands were inserted into the chest and abdomen of a Black Flame monk, and the dense red lines on his arms began to flow to his body.
He actually regarded the Black Flame monks of his own church as nutrients for recovery. As the essence and blood were absorbed, his head, which had been drooping, suddenly raised up, and a pair of blood-red eyes looked at Ryan, filled with anger!
This ant-like bastard actually used that magic weapon to hurt the origin of his soul!
His combat power, which was originally only one tenth of that, is now even less.
Ants must die!
Monger threw the two hunched corpses aside and clenched his warhammer. The next second, a deep pit suddenly exploded on the ground beneath his feet!
The ancient hero Monger drew a gray straight line and rushed towards Ryan. The air around his body was like water waves, rippling.
Wherever he passed, it was as if a level 19 typhoon had passed through, with all the grass and trees broken and smoke and dust rolling!
Ryan's pupils shrank and his mind was highly focused. He keenly discovered that this time, the opponent's movement speed did not exceed the sound barrier. He was able to capture his every move.
Obviously, this also proved that the opponent's injuries should be very serious. The opponent was in a rage and his combat power could not catch up with the previous time when he was not injured.
Ryan, who had greatly increased his confidence, roared suddenly, and instantly transformed the hardened fine gold covering the plate armor gauntlet into a dark two-handed warhammer, rushing towards Monger!
"Dang!!!"
Sparks flew!
This time, the blue and white warhammer and the dark warhammer collided fiercely again!
The ear-piercing sound of metal collision resounded throughout the venue. The air vibration caused by the shock wave also knocked the surrounding guards and Black Flame monks more than ten meters away.
This made the others crawl and scramble in panic, quickly moving away from the two humanoid beasts.
Ryan's hands were shaking wildly, his knuckles were slightly cracked, and he took three steps back.
Facing the attack of the ancient hero Monger, although he was still at a disadvantage, Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up!
Compared with before, the situation was very different.
"This shows that my feeling before was right."
"My hammer, 'Hammer of Annihilation', superimposed on 'Soul Shattering Shock', caused some kind of trauma to the opponent, at least it is extremely difficult to recover in a short period of time, especially the real damage of 'Soul Shattering Shock'!"
"The opponent's combat power is now at least two levels lower than when the game just started."
"From the original almost impossible to contend with, to now, I am only slightly at a disadvantage."
If just now, Ryan had made up his mind to fight to the death, then now, it has turned into an excitement of eagerness to try and kill the powerful enemy.
Because, once such a powerful person at least at the legendary level is thinking about him, Ryan will not only protect Claire's safety, but even his own life will be on the line at any time and anywhere!
And what if he can kill a former cult legend?
Ryan's blood can't help but surge in his heart!
This battle can be fought! And it must be fought!
The ancient hero Monger was also shaken back a step by the huge reaction force.
Being pushed back a step by an ant?
Monger had a little reaction. The soul damage he had just suffered had reduced his strength to such an extent!
At this time, a battle was also taking place not far from the two of them.
Ryan could sense from the breath that it should be his side led by Langer and the other two, who were fighting fiercely with the Black Flame Monk led by Freeman.
Of course, both sides deliberately avoided the area where he and the ancient hero Monger were.
Freeman's strength was not inferior to Laxul at all, and was even stronger by half a chip, which made it very difficult for Langer and the other two to deal with.
In order to avoid the other side's feint to the east and attack in the west, Claire did not join the battle, but continued to guard near the door of the villa to protect her father, Count Habsburg.
Just when Ryan was a little worried about the current situation.
The fallen griffin knight Viscount Felke rushed out of the ruins. His griffin had just been severely damaged, but he himself was basically uninjured.
He looked up and shouted at Fisher, his subordinate griffin knight who was hiding in fear in the air:
"Quick! Fisher, go inform Lord Menia."
"A cult legend has appeared in Meister County!"
Felke was sure that the one who could seriously injure his griffin with one blow must be a legendary strongman.
Moreover, it is very likely that he is not an ordinary legendary strongman.
Then it seems that the only one who can solve the opponent 100% is Lord Menia, the 'Red Queen' Dragon Knight.
Fisher saw that his boss was fine, and his face was suddenly happy. After hearing Felke's shouting, he immediately reacted, controlled the griffin under his crotch, flew into the sky, and flew rapidly towards the fishing port town in the east!
Seeing that Fisher went to inform, Felke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this time, he looked at the scene carefully, and his eyes suddenly widened!
The legendary cult warrior who had severely injured his griffin was being resisted by the young man Ryan, whom he had met once. The two of them were fighting hard!
At the same time, he also saw Langer and his three men who were at a disadvantage.
After a little thought, Felke rushed into the battle group of Langer and his men.
After all, he thought it was difficult for him to intervene in the fight between the two men.
Since Felke was also a master of the peak knight's strength, with his joining, Langer and his three men suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and gradually stabilized the situation.
Freeman was not panicking at the moment.
Although the whole situation was in a state of anxiety, he knew very well that even the seriously injured ancient hero Lord Monger was much more powerful than this.
Ryan would definitely not be Lord Monger's opponent.
Then on his side, he could just maintain the undefeated situation, and wait for Lord Monger to win, and then he could free up his hands to deal with all these people.
Ryan used all his strength in every attack, but was still beaten back by the ancient hero Monger.
Although the gap in strength between the two was very close at this moment, it was still not so easy to close.
Every hammer swung by the opponent was superimposed with will, force, strength and some special energy, which resulted in Ryan having to use the top secret 'Hammer of Annihilation' to barely resist every blow.
If it were any other great knight who had not mastered the top secret, it would be difficult to take even one hammer!
But Ryan's eyes became brighter and brighter as the fight went on!
Ryan was keenly aware that this battle was completely different from the feeling his enemies had given him in the past.
In this battle, he needed to concentrate on every blow from his opponent, and every time he blocked, he would consciously or unconsciously use his mental strength!
It was like he was walking on a tightrope on a cliff.
Ryan had a feeling.
It was as if he was a piece of rough iron that had just come out of the furnace, being hammered and tempered by a skilled blacksmith!
By fighting with a strong man of this level, Ryan could vaguely feel that every second was a tempering of his own spirit, which was beneficial to the improvement of his will!
In an instant, he seemed to understand how to improve the new attribute, 'will'.
However, Ryan also understood that he could not keep retreating!
If you defend too long, you will lose!
And attacking is the best defense!
Although Ryan still has 5 remaining attribute points, he needs to use them as a means to restore his physical strength, so he cannot invest all of them in strength or agility at this time to reduce the gap in combat power with the opponent.
But to further narrow the gap in combat power, Ryan has other solutions.
Ryan quickly invested 2 skill points in the 'Beast Sturdy' icon in the Beast Sacrifice (Legend) panel.
The pattern of the icon has not changed much, and it is still the avatar of Ryan's current three-headed battle pet, an eagle, a dog, and a horse.
Only the description of the small words in the lower right corner has changed:
[Beast Sturdy lv3 (Passive): As a beast sacrifice inherited from the ancient trolls, you naturally have the ability to absorb the vitality of the contracted pet, thereby improving your physical fitness and resistance. 】
(Note: At level 3, you can get the blessing effects of three pets under your command at the same time.)
(Note: This skill has a distance limit. It is only effective when the pet is near you. The effective distance is proportional to the spiritual attribute.)
Previously, level 1 only gained one pet effect, but now level 3 has three, and the prompt is extremely obvious.
As Ryan silently chanted the beast's strength in his heart.
In an instant, he felt that he was completely different!
On the attribute panel, Ryan had three more buffs of [Dog's Swiftness], [Horse's Endurance], and [Hippogryph's Strength].
Moreover, since the black horse evolved into a trotting horned horse, the blood-feathered horned horse has also grown compared to before, so at this moment, all three buffs have reached the level of +3!
Strength, body, and agility have all increased by three points, which is close to a small improvement in combat power!
The counterattack began immediately!
When they fought again, the ancient hero Monger found that Ryan's state was a little wrong. It felt like he had been injected with chicken blood, and his strength had increased a little bit.
This made Monger's eyes full of anger, and at this moment, there were also some other emotional fluctuations.
For the first time, Monger looked at the young man from the Empire who was fighting with him in front of him with a little seriousness.
The original battle was one-sided, and Ryan had almost no chance to counterattack. He could only passively parry and block.
But now the situation is different. Ryan can launch an effective counterattack from time to time, forcing Monger to parry or block.
Since both of them used heavy hammers to fight, their strength was unparalleled. Every time they clashed, there was a loud sound like a huge bell.
And the strong energy of each clash, the shock wave stirred up, actually pressed the ground of the battle site down several centimeters, and at the same time, dust flew!
If someone was unlucky enough to get close, the lucky ones would be stunned by the sound waves, and the next second they would be blown away by the air waves, while the unlucky ones would directly become an incomplete man.
It was really incomplete, missing arms and legs was considered light, and they might even lose their heads or half of their bodies.
At this time, there was an unlucky guy who was hit by Ryan's hammer.
"Huh?"
Ryan was surprised to find that on his hardened and deformed hammer, there was actually a comet-like transparent shadow sucked into it.
This scene was like a flash of lightning, suddenly passing through Ryan's mind.
He quickly glanced at the description of the "Soul-breaking Hammer".
Sure enough, it did not limit the existence of a certain strange hammer, but only wrote "hammer".
That is to say, unlike the need for a certain rare warhammer as a medium when changing jobs, the 'Soul Crushing Warhammer' is the core skill of the top legendary profession of the Warhammer Wizard, rather than a special skill of a certain hammer.
But it seems that the rare warhammer has some power bonus.
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Ryan's mind.
He looked at the blue and white warhammer in the hands of the ancient hero Monger, his eyes burning!
"In that case, then..."
The next second, Ryan hit Monger with a heavy hammer, forcing Monger to block, and then he flashed and rushed towards the direction where dozens of Black Flame Monks were.
Seeing Ryan rushing over, Freeman, who was fighting with Langgel and Felke, was so excited that his eyelids jumped and he cursed in his heart:
"Fuck! You can't beat Lord Monger, so you rush here to make a presence?"
"How shameless!"
Ryan swung the hammer and wreaked havoc among the Black Flame Monks. In the blink of an eye, he killed three Black Flame Monks.
Including the unlucky guy who was killed by the warhammer at the beginning, Ryan has now accumulated four layers of gain effects.
Although each layer is only +2 strength, it is enough to have four times!
In such a short period of time, Ryan suddenly gained 8 points of strength.
When Monger rushed over and saw the warhammer in Ryan's hand lingering with three long transparent shadows, his eyes changed again!
After another fight, these eight points of strength allowed Ryan to finally attack more and defend less, and the situation began to reverse.
What's more important is that after knowing that the core skill of the warhammer wizard, 'Soul Crushing Hammer', is not linked to the strange warhammer, Ryan will find an opportunity to rush to the side of a black flame monk every few seconds and take it away.
Finally, when Ryan accumulated to the ninth time, Monger's expression finally changed drastically.
He knew that he couldn't continue like this.
The young man in front of him was too weird.
His physical strength was like a perpetual motion machine. Not only could he continue to display the secrets, but his strength became stronger and stronger.
Monger decided that even if he fell asleep again, he would kill the young man in front of him.
Suddenly, the blue and white hammer in Monger's hand emitted a strange energy fluctuation.
And Ryan turned around and killed another Black Flame monk, and finally stacked to ten layers.
In an instant!
The two people's eyes crossed for a moment.
It seemed that they understood something.
Almost at the same time, the soil under their feet suddenly exploded.
I saw two figures, one gray and one silver, each pulling out a straight line and rushing towards each other!
"Dang!!!"
In an instant, the two hammers of different styles collided heavily again!
Thanks to the demon-repelling apprentice for the 100 starting coins reward!
