Chapter 284 Dragon Knight (Two chapters in one)
The sparks and shock waves generated by the collision of the two hammers formed a fierce hammer storm, which shook the six or seven Black Flame monks and guards who were nearby into the air.
The ground was also pressed down by the huge impact force by nearly ten centimeters in an instant, and the soil was splashed like a tornado.
For a moment, a concave pit was formed within a few meters around Ryan and the ancient hero Monger!
At the moment of the collision.
The face of the ancient hero Monger changed immediately and became extremely horrified!
He always thought that the opponent's special power that could hurt the soul came from the opponent's skull hammer that had just been shattered into powder.
Because he could sense that the opponent's hammer was a tool related to sacrifice.
In the long-term sacrifice process, it is possible to accidentally have this ability to hurt the soul.
But Monger really didn't expect that the young imperial boy named Ryan, who was in front of him, didn't have the skull hammer in his hand this time, but still delivered such a blow that could hurt the soul.
In an instant, behind Monger's tall figure, a transparent shadow that was already a little broken was hit away from the body again by Ryan's hammer.
The same scene as last time reappeared!
The transparent shadow that was nearly one meter away from Monger's body suddenly had dozens of dense, fist-sized holes all over its body.
This time, the transparent shadow became extremely broken, like a candle in the wind and rain.
If you don't look closely, you can hardly see the human form.
When the shadow returned to the body of the ancient hero Monger again, this time, Monger staggered back five or six steps.
Finally, the whole person "banged" and fell to the ground!
Ryan was also not feeling well.
Even if the hammer in his hand was made of hardened adamantium, it couldn't withstand the violent collision just now.
At this moment, the thinner handle of the hammer broke directly, and the hammer head was completely knocked off, leaving only a headless hammer in Ryan's hand.
At the same time, Monger's blow was accompanied by a special dark red flame and a kind of transparent energy impact.
At this moment, Ryan's right hand was almost broken, and the whole body was faintly burning with this dark red flame, which was extremely painful.
However, Ryan still endured the pain, took a step forward, and the hardened fine gold in his hand was instantly transformed into a war hammer again, and hit Monger's head hard.
It seemed that he felt the crisis of death.
In an instant! The nearly dying Monger's eyes suddenly widened and looked at Ryan!
The next second, he was seen blocking Ryan's blow with his gray arm.
"Bang!"
The touch of hitting thick leather armor was transmitted from the hammer handle to Ryan's hand. Although the opponent's skin was wrinkled like a mummy, the muscle fibers under the skin were like steel wires, and the defense was extremely strong.
Even compared to Ryan, who has the talent of intermediate steel body, he is not weak at all.
With one blow, only the muscle tissue of Monger's arm was damaged, and his arm bone was not broken.
I don't know if it was a last gasp or some other secret technique, but the exhausted Monger actually roared, crashed into Ryan's arms, and sprinted hard!
"Boom boom!"
After knocking down several stone walls in a row, the two rushed directly into the auxiliary building of the villa on the side and immediately started fighting in close combat!
But Monger's condition at this time was too bad, and Ryan seized the opportunity after a few seconds.
"Puff!"
The ancient hero Monger's eyes widened and his whole body shook!
I saw a pointed hammer hit his brain from the top of his head.
The next moment, he seemed to still want to raise his arm to fight back, but his whole body suddenly twitched, and the raised thick arm naturally fell back, and the lion-like head finally drooped down weakly.
Ryan pulled out the pointed hammer and looked at the tall body that fell to the ground with a bang, and was silent for a while!
With the death of the ancient hero Monger, a special aura suddenly emanated from his majestic corpse.
This aura was full of grand and vast meanings!
To Ryan, Monger's death was a bit like a "whale fall".
After his death, it seemed that some kind of original power in his body also dissipated, so this magnificent aura would dissipate.
Suddenly, the system prompt sounded:
[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?
Looking at the system prompt, Ryan was slightly startled!
This was really a bit beyond his expectations.
Since the last time he killed the Black Flame Cult's chief priest in the promotion stage, he happened to encounter a situation where talent points could be converted. Ryan always thought that only enemies who had a little relationship with the gods could have talent points.
Unexpectedly, he would have the opportunity to obtain talent points after killing the ancient hero Monger.
Faced with this choice, Ryan naturally had nothing to hesitate about, and immediately chose "Yes!" '
Instantly, the strange breath from Monger's majestic corpse, which had been gradually dissipating, was absorbed by Ryan's body like a river flowing into the sea!
The system prompt came again:
[Ding! A total of two talent points have been converted. ]
[Please select the talent 'Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)', 'Primary Supernatural Comprehension (Passive)', 'Intermediate Steel Body (Passive)' or 'Intermediate Giant Strength (Active)' to upgrade. ]
Seeing this system prompt, Ryan's smile became even brighter.
There are actually two talent points.
This means that even if he has intermediate talents, he can improve them this time.
But now is not the time to consider adding points.
At this moment, his physical condition is also a little bit wrong. The evil flame of the opponent is still in his body, causing continuous damage.
Therefore, Ryan can only let his three pets bear another wave of unbearable weight.
As the eagle, dog, and horse rushed into the ruins, Ryan finally felt much better after using the level 3 "Beast Vitality".
At this time, Ryan saw something and raised his eyebrows.
He walked forward and held the blue and white war hammer that originally belonged to Monger in his hand.
In addition to the heavy weight of the war hammer, Ryan could also clearly feel a breath of resistance.
It was as if the war hammer in his hand was a living thing with its own consciousness, and did not recognize him as the new owner.
Ryan raised the war hammer to his chest and looked at it carefully.
There was a complex blue and white pattern on the handle of the hammer, which seemed to have some special function.
As for the hammer head, there is no special pattern.
It is square, with blue on the left and right sides and silver-white on the other four sides. The only feeling is that it is unusually solid and heavy.
After thinking about it, Ryan tried to cast his innate magic "Metal Transfiguration", but the hammer obviously emitted a faint blue-white light, isolating the metal energy particles outside.
Transformation failed!
This made Ryan more interested.
Obviously, this hammer is not an ordinary thing.
It feels higher than his "Skull Hammer" that was broken into pieces.
Although he can't figure out the secret of this hammer at the moment, Ryan is not worried.
Because there must be someone in the huge sword-wielding organization who can solve this problem.
After thinking about it, Ryan held the blue-white hammer in his right hand, and lifted the ankle of one of Monger's feet with his left hand, dragging the tall and heavy body of the other party, and walked out of the ruins of the villa's auxiliary building step by step.
When Ryan came out, everyone present couldn't help but stop the fight in their hands, whether it was the Black Flame Cult headed by Freeman, or the guards headed by Viscount Langer and Felke.
At this moment, the eyes looking at Ryan were full of disbelief and shock!
Freeman and other Black Flame monks stared with wide eyes, repeatedly looking at the tall corpse dragged by Ryan's hand. It was indeed the ancient hero Monger.
But how could this be possible?
This is a rare epic strongman in the history of the church! He
died in the hands of an imperial boy!
The fairy tale script of the bard would not dare to write like this. In the story of the
Brave Fighting the Dragon, this brave man must also have an extraordinary record, right?
Otherwise, the audience would definitely throw rotten eggs in the script where a farmer killed a dragon with a pitchfork.
But in the hearts of the Black Flame Church, what is the difference between Ryan and the ancient hero Monger and the farmers and the dragon?
Langer and Viscount Felke also looked at this scene in shock!
Although they didn't want Ryan to lose, to be honest, they basically didn't think Ryan could win.
After all, in their opinion, this possibility was too small.
Their biggest expectation for Ryan was that Ryan could delay the ancient legendary strongman of the Black Flame Cult as long as possible.
If he could delay until the imperial reinforcements arrived, it would be even better.
But in their opinion, this was also a luxury.
In other words, they never thought Ryan could win!
But at this moment, the development of things was far beyond their expectations.
He actually won?
Langer remembered very clearly that Frye had just told him yesterday that although Ryan was the captain of the gold-level sword bearer, in fact, he had only joined the sword bearer branch of the Munster Province for less than two months.
But such a prospective newcomer killed a legendary strongman of the ancient cult?
This is no longer "this child will become a great man in the future" to describe Ryan.
Instead, it should be changed to "this child has become a great man"!
Claire, who was guarding the door of the villa, also opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and looked at Ryan, not knowing what to say for a while.
Two hours ago, she had just given Ryan a manuscript written by her ancestor on how to comprehend the glory of will, but Ryan turned around and killed a legendary cultist?
This.
Claire felt that her mind was a little confused.
The guards in the Earl of Habsburg's mansion looked at Ryan with full respect and a little fear. This was a world of difference from the attitude when Ryan was just responsible for the safety of the Earl's mansion at the beginning. Many guards recalled
their doubts at that time, and their faces turned slightly red!
At this moment, they looked at this familiar figure and felt an indescribable sense of security.
Suddenly, Freeman in the venue was shocked and reacted suddenly!
If he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave.
He shouted: "Retreat!" and quickly crushed something, and a thick fog appeared out of thin air.
Many of the Black Flame monks, who had no intention of fighting, immediately took out something like a smoke bomb and threw it to the ground.
Suddenly, the garden was filled with smoke!
But vaguely, it could be seen that these surviving Black Flame monks were rushing towards the entrance of the tunnel dug by the earth snake.
Just as Ryan put down the body of the ancient hero Monger and was about to chase, Langgel, Fry and others stepped forward and said:
"Sir Ryan, please don't bother doing this. Leave it to us!"
Ryan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay!"
Ryan sat down on a broken stone, slowly calmed his breath, and began to recall the battle just now.
At this moment, no matter whether they were familiar with Ryan or not, when they saw the young man sitting quietly on the stone, no one dared to disturb him for a while.
So, such a strange scene appeared in the whole garden.
A young man seemed to be isolated from the world, sitting on the stone, holding a huge blue and white war hammer in his hand, thinking about something.
The others were busy.
A group of people were chasing into the tunnel, while others surrounded the young man, scattered and alert.
Originally, when Olena saw Ryan sitting alone on the stone, she was going to say some words of praise.
But when she saw Ryan in a thoughtful look, somehow, she suddenly had the idea that she shouldn't disturb him.
As the deputy minister of the Sword Bearer Mission Hall, Olena naturally understood how great Ryan's contribution was this time!
Even though she was well-informed, it was the first time for her to witness a legendary enemy being killed by her own side.
Olena, who was too excited to disturb him, suddenly had her beautiful eyes light up, as if she had thought of something.
She immediately took out a feather pen and began to write something.
Because she was too excited, her handwriting was a little sloppy.
Olena crumpled the paper in her hand and threw it away, then took out a new piece of paper.
This time, she took a long breath, calmed down, and then started writing again.
When the head maid saw what Olena was writing so seriously, she couldn't help but curiously went forward to check, and saw the following neatly written on the paper:
". The residence of Earl Habsburg was attacked by the Black Flame Cult for the second time. The enemy sent an ancient legendary strongman whose strength has not yet fully recovered. According to the cultists, he is called 'Ancient Hero Monger'."
". Our own gold-level sword-bearing captain, Sir Ryan, killed the ancient hero Monger on the spot in a one-on-one fight."
After thinking about it, Olena decided to include the situation of other people as well, although the Blade Squad was not affiliated with the Munster Sword-bearing Division, and the Griffin Knight was even less so.
". The remaining enemy personnel were also defeated by the Blade Squad and the Griffin Knight."
Looking at the completed situation report, Olena nodded with satisfaction.
This is a good way to write, it seems to highlight the excellence of Sir Ryan!
And Ryan remembered that he had not checked the system prompts yet.
Sure enough, the screen was filled with prompts:
[You have experienced a battle, Weapon Master (Legend) experience +7847]
[You have experienced a battle, Warhammer Wizard (Legend) experience +3991]
[You have experienced a battle, Beast Priest (Legend) experience +1387]
(Note: The above skill experience has been increased by 30% by the exclusive talent 'Primary Supernatural Comprehension'.)
[Congratulations, you defeated the powerful enemy and obtained 11 gold skill points! ]
[Congratulations, your Will (Hidden) attribute has been improved! ]
[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level has been improved! ]
[Congratulations, your Beast Priest (Legend) career level has been improved! ]
The Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level, which had just been upgraded to level 5, has been upgraded again to level 6 (2611/3000).
Although the Weapon Master (Legend) career level has not been upgraded, after gaining a lot of experience this time, the progress bar has also passed more than half, reaching level 9 (8074/10000).
What surprised Ryan a little was that the Beast Priest (Legend) was upgraded twice this time, reaching level 5 (49/2000).
This was a pleasant surprise!
The upgrade of the two legendary professions, Warhammer Wizard and Beast Priest, also allowed Ryan to gain 3 attribute points and 3 skill points again.
Adding his original remaining points, Ryan now has 5 remaining attribute points, 5 remaining skill points, and 11 gold skill points.
Huh?
Willpower also increased by 1 point?
Ryan looked at the attribute panel, and the hidden attribute of willpower reached 2 points at this time.
Constitution: 43 (3 points added in battle)
Strength: 46
Agility: 44
Spirit: 55
Willpower (hidden attribute): 2
Fierce battles seem to be the best tempering of willpower.
There is no doubt that this enemy, the ancient hero Monger, is the most powerful enemy Ryan has ever encountered.
If he hadn't caught the opponent off guard at the beginning and hit his strongest killer move "Soul Shattering Impact", the subsequent battles would have been impossible to fight.
In fact, the main reason for killing the opponent is the real damage of the second 'Soul Shattering Shock'.
If he only relies on his current real attack power, it is still very difficult to break the opponent's physical defense and severely injure the opponent.
"This is the power of the core skills of the top legendary profession, the Warhammer Wizard!" Ryan couldn't help but sigh.
"If I hadn't changed my job to Warhammer Wizard, I'm afraid this battle would really not be able to turn the tables. The best result is that I can rely on the fast-trotting wildebeest to escape quickly."
"But in this case, then..."
"I still have to strengthen my strength."
Immediately, Ryan thought of the two talent points he just got.
After a little thought, Ryan figured it out.
Now, there are basically three choices in front of him.
The first option is to upgrade the talent 'Intermediate Power (Active)'. The increase in explosive power means that the attack power can be raised to another level, which is very important in battle.
The second option is to upgrade the talent 'Intermediate Steel Body (Passive)'. The reason is simple and important. Naturally, stacking armor will never be outdated!
The third option is to use the two talent points separately, adding them to 'Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)' and 'Primary Supernatural Comprehension (Passive)' respectively.
Upgrade these two primary talents to intermediate talents.
The advantage of this is that, except for the war hammer, the power of the secrets of other weapons will be improved.
At the same time, supernatural comprehension can further improve the speed of subsequent supernatural combat skills.
The three options all have their own advantages. How to choose?
Ryan couldn't help but ponder again.
Suddenly, Ryan sensed something, and he looked up at the sky in the east.
He saw two teams of griffin knights approaching rapidly from the distant sky. They flew in two straight lines, leaving a large gap in the middle, as if they were guarding something.
But it was visible to the naked eye that there was nothing in the middle.
"Hey, the Griffin Squadron is here."
"Wow, there are quite a lot of Griffin Knights this time." Many guards exclaimed.
Among the two teams of Griffin Knights, there was one person, Fisher, who had just gone to report the news.
When he saw the obviously calmed down Count Habsburg's mansion, he immediately thought of something, and his whole body froze, his expression was extremely sad, as if he thought that everyone, including his boss, Viscount Felke, had died.
But then, Fisher's slightly red eyes blinked.
He took a closer look and found that the people on guard in the mansion garden at the moment were all dressed in guards' uniforms, which made Fisher overjoyed!
However, this also made him very confused.
"Didn't Lord Viscount Felke say that the guy was at least a legendary strongman?"
"Did the other party retreat on his own initiative?"
"But why would he retreat when he had the upper hand? I can't figure it out."
Fisher shook his head. He couldn't figure it out at once. What was going on?
As for
the situation that the legendary warrior of the cult was killed, it had never occurred to him at all.
After all, the scene of the opponent paralyzing the griffin with one hammer was still vivid in his mind!
As the two teams of griffin knights gradually approached.
Not long after, Ryan felt that the atmosphere was slightly wrong, and he also felt a faint sense of anxiety in his heart.
Huh?
How could this strong aura be related to the ancient hero Monger?
A flash of lightning flashed through Ryan's mind, and then he thought of something and looked up suddenly.
I saw that among the griffin knights hovering in the air, the originally empty air began to shimmer, as if the glass refracted the light.
Then, it was probably some kind of strange invisibility effect, which suddenly disappeared.
A majestic, graceful and slender huge creature appeared in front of Ryan!
This shock to Ryan was no less than when Ryan first saw the ancient hero Monger.
Because what was in front of him was a real dragon, all red, with dense and thick scales, each larger than an adult's palm. The limbs covered by the red scales were muscular, and each claw at the end of the claws was comparable to a knight's long sword.
There was a slightly curved sharp horn on each side of the red dragon's head, and four smaller sharp horns in a row in the center of the head.
A pair of fleshy wings looked like they covered the sky and the sun from a close distance!
The wingspan was estimated to be at least 20 to 30 meters, but it was obvious that the wind element energy particles surging around were the reason why the other party could fly so quickly.
But what made people tremble was not just because of the other party's size.
Because if it was just based on size, the offshore plesiosaur that Ryan had killed was not much smaller than the red dragon in front of him.
Even the legendary ground snake was larger than the red dragon.
The most moving thing was the opponent's momentum!
The fiery and vast aura made those guards who had not yet reached the extraordinary level tremble in fear!
Although they knew that this was not an enemy, but the legend of the empire - the Dragon Knight.
But this kind of crushing from the life level still made them tremble.
The red dragon first lowered its head and sniffed the corpse of the ancient hero Monger on the ground, and then looked at the blue and white warhammer in Ryan's hand with a pair of huge golden vertical pupils.
There was a very anthropomorphic curiosity, confusion and surprise in his eyes.
At this time, an elegant and magnetic female voice came from the back of the red dragon.
