Chapter 298: Pursuit (Two chapters in one)
Facing the giant lava hand, Ryan narrowed his eyes!
He just tiptoed and quickly dodged to the side of the gate.
But the next second, the giant lava hand turned around like a dragon, plowing the ground, and continued to chase Ryan!
Under the condition of conditional choice, Ryan naturally did not want to bear the opponent's powerful second-level witchcraft.
So, after Ryan saw the giant lava hand continue to chase him, he turned around and turned again, rushing towards the wall where Asimov was!
It seemed that he wanted to close the distance between the two and let the other party also bear the damage of his witchcraft.
At this time, Asimov's mouth opened and revealed a smile.
He had a lot of combat experience. Seeing this scene in front of him, he immediately understood Ryan's plan.
The knight who was good at close combat must find a way to close the distance with him when fighting with him, otherwise, he could not hurt him at all.
And for this, he already had a very mature set of countermeasures.
Suddenly, a fiery red ring of light flashed on Asimov's body, and then he quickly recited a spell.
When Ryan was still more than ten meters away from him, Asimov raised his short staff and pointed at Ryan. Suddenly, a beam of flame burst out from the front of the short staff and shot towards Ryan!
Ryan's reaction was also very fast. He raised the magic silver kite shield in his hand and blocked it firmly in front of his chest.
With a "boom" sound!
Ryan firmly blocked the opponent's fire attack, but the impact of the explosion also forced his forward body to temporarily stop.
Asimov smiled, thinking to himself, "That's it", and saw him raise his left hand and clench it heavily!
The next moment!
A huge lava hand attacked from behind and grabbed Ryan heavily.
But the next second, Asimov's eyes flashed with a trace of shock.
Because he saw that three metal kite-shaped shields suddenly lingered around Ryan, pushing the giant lava hand that was grabbing down hard away from him by one or two meters.
Although the opponent's shield was already creaking at this moment, it was blocked after all.
How could this be possible?
His own lava hand had a power of at least 60 degrees, and the opponent could actually withstand it with his innate witchcraft?
This shouldn't be possible!
Even if the opponent was a rare formal wizard and great knight, he was only a first-level wizard after all, and there was no way he could resist the second-level witchcraft!
Asimov naturally mistook the "metal barrier" that Ryan had just cast as a natural witchcraft.
After all, the casting time of 0.25 seconds was enough to make the fake look real.
Ryan took advantage of the three kite-shaped shields to block the moment, calmly dodged sideways, avoided the powerful grip of the giant lava hand, and stood far away from Asimov again.
Although he was slightly at a disadvantage in the previous round.
But at this time, Ryan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his fighting spirit became more and more high.
The opponent was the first second-level wizard he encountered. In terms of combat power, he was No. 2 among all the enemies he had encountered so far, second only to the ancient hero Monger.
But the fighting styles of the two were completely different!
One was wild and heroic like a lion, and the other was sinister and scheming like a venomous snake.
And most importantly, Ryan could clearly feel that when he was fully immersed in the battle just now, it seemed that his will was more condensed.
Sure enough, fighting is the shortcut to enhance the glory of will.
At this time, the Blood Peak Mercenary Corps vassal knight squad guarding outside Ryan's mansion had killed a team of patrolling night watchmen who had just passed by.
At the same time, they were still quite surprised by the rumbling fighting noises coming from the mansion.
The four looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The three adults went out together, but they couldn't quickly take down the opponent?
It seems that the opponent's strength is extraordinary!
However,
the originally planned retreat time node is about to arrive.
If the adults don't come out, the patrol personnel who disappear one after another here will soon be discovered by the imperial security department. At that time, it will be difficult to retreat.
Maybe, for the adults, being surrounded by the elite of the empire is just a little troublesome.
But for them, it will be a big trouble at that time.
And the vassal team on the other side.
The four third-level wizard apprentices who are responsible for suppressing the powerful witchcraft energy fluctuations in this area have already had fine beads of sweat
on their foreheads. They looked at the foggy mansion with astonishment!
This energy fluctuation is too big!
Could it be that Master Asimov has made a full-scale attack?
Who are they dealing with this time?
So strong?
They can't hold on for a minute at most, because their mental strength is about to be exhausted.
And in the mansion.
The attack just now was in vain, which made Asimov's expression more solemn. For the first time, he regarded the young man Ryan as a great enemy.
At the same time, he also knew that it would not work to continue the confrontation like this.
He had limited time on his side. If he followed the planned plan, he would have about half a minute.
"In this case, we have no choice but to use that move!"
"As long as the opponent is injured, the next battle will be easy."
Asimov's eyes condensed, and he raised his short staff and began to chant loudly, with a surge of energy waves spreading out.
Ryan reacted immediately. Judging from the energy fluctuations, the opponent must have cast a second-level sorcery this time, which was different from the first-level sorcery flame impact just now, and would be much more powerful.
Moreover, it was likely to be a second-level sorcery with more concentrated power and difficult to dodge, otherwise, the opponent would not have to give up the Lava Hand.
Ryan narrowed his eyes and made a decision in an instant!
A kite-shaped shield transformed from magicized thorium lingered on his body, and he rushed towards Asimov quickly.
Although the second-level sorcery was powerful, it also meant that the chanting time would be longer than before.
In addition, his melee damage far exceeded that of long-range attacks. If he wanted to win, closing the distance was still the only choice.
Seeing Ryan rushing over again, Asimov glanced at Ryan, and there was an inexplicable sense of meaning.
Asimov did not move until Ryan almost rushed in front of him, but continued to chant witchcraft. Obviously, Asimov was very confident in the defensive power of his own innate witchcraft.
In addition, it also proved that the witchcraft that the other party was performing was extremely powerful.
Just as Ryan swung his two-handed war hammer and smashed it heavily at Asimov, Asimov's chanting just happened to end.
He pointed his finger at Ryan, and in front of his fingertips, a scorching ray as thick as a bowl suddenly emerged and rushed straight to Ryan.
At this moment, Ryan did not choose to defend at all, but swung the two-handed war hammer in his hand that was transformed from hardened adamantium, which was a "hammer of annihilation"!
In an instant, both of them had strong confidence in their own defense, and at the same time, they were extremely confident in their own attack power.
The speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second.
The scorching ray hit Ryan first.
The scorching ray hit the kite-shaped shield transformed from the magic thorium. Although the magic thorium has a very strong resistance to energy damage, it does not mean that it is completely immune.
It can weaken the damage effect by 60-70%, which means there is still 30-40% of the remaining power.
The power of the second-level single-target sorcery is too strong.
The magicized thorium shield only blocked for a moment, and a small hole was pierced in the middle of the shield, and the remaining scorching rays bombarded Ryan with the remaining power.
Then, the mithril carved breastplate was pierced.
The power of the scorching rays was only one tenth of that.
But Asimov thought he had a sure win, because even one tenth of the power of the scorching rays was enough to penetrate the flesh and blood of a great knight.
At the same time, the war hammer in Ryan's hand also hit Asimov heavily.
I saw a ring of flames flashing on his body, and a shock came, but it was shattered by the crushing power contained in the hammer head.
This made Asimov's eyes flash a little panic for the first time!
"Bang!"
The hammer, weakened by the ring of fire, bombarded the rock armor that suddenly formed on Asimov's body, and the mud splashed everywhere!
A big hole was broken in the rock armor!
Just when the hammer was about to touch Asimov's body, an invisible flame shield suddenly appeared on his body and blocked the hammer!
"Crack!"
The crystal necklace on Asimov's chest shattered.
It seems that the flame shield just now should be released by the crystal necklace to protect the body spontaneously.
This time, although both of them hit each other, it seems that neither of them achieved the expected effect.
The impact of witchcraft made the two of them distance themselves again.
And Asimov's original idea of winning has disappeared at this moment!
He glanced at the crystal fragments on the ground in amazement. The attack power of this Ryan just now was definitely more than 70 degrees. This is also an extremely high damage among liquefied wizards.
Moreover, the opponent's defense is also inexplicably strong!
Asimov looked at the small hole on Ryan's breastplate with a faint green smoke, thinking.
At this point, Asimov knew that he could not continue to fight like this.
He had clearly felt that the shielding magic array had failed after the continuous release of the second-level magic just now.
The energy fluctuations just now should have been transmitted.
If he didn't leave at this time, he might be very passive. He was not worried about being surrounded by the elite of the empire, but Munster, as the provincial capital, had many masters.
However, he lost two capable men on his side, but still failed to take down Ryan, let alone get any heart blood.
This made him quite unwilling and angry.
Asimov suddenly blasted a flame attack towards Ryan's mansion villa, instantly igniting the villa, while he retreated rapidly.
Ryan narrowed his eyes, and the anger in his heart suddenly ignited!
Originally, he thought that this opponent was strong, and he did not attack his family to coerce him, and he deserved respect.
But now it seems that this is not the case!
Ryan immediately flashed to a corner of the burning villa, and the war hammer in his hand transformed into a two-handed sword, and cut down the burning wall with a swish of the sword, thus extinguishing the flames.
However, Ryan was a little hesitant, he didn't know if the other party had any backup plan.
If he were to chase him now, would it be possible?
At this time, Vieri shouted from the window: "Captain, I have already sent a signal to Neoro and the others. The safety here is in our hands. Don't worry!"
Ryan glanced at Vieri, nodded, and immediately chased after him.
At this time, several teams of night watchmen had already discovered Asimov's traces and quickly aimed their bows and arrows, but the opponent was too fast, surrounded by green airflow, as fast as lightning.
Before the night watchmen could shoot their arrows, Asimov dodged into the alley on the side.
Ryan relied on the guidance of the blood-feathered horned beast in the air, brought up a gust of wind, and chased after the opponent directly.
And because the shielding magic array just failed, the noise of the second-level magic had already awakened the city on high alert.
At this time, in addition to the blood-feathered horned beast, there were two more black spots in the sky, flying quickly towards Asimov and Ryan.
It was the patrolling Munster Griffin Knight.
Although it was night at this moment, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, visibility was very low.
But under the illumination of the street lights and house lights in the city, they could vaguely distinguish two figures moving at high speed on the ground, so they immediately controlled the griffins under their crotch to dive down. The
two of them, one in front and one behind, actually intended to control Asimov and Ryan at the same time.
But the next second, the gray shadow moving at high speed in front quickly raised his hand and aimed at the swooping griffin knight, and a flame attack hit his face.
The griffin was immediately startled and immediately roared and flapped its wings to dodge the flames, almost throwing the griffin knight off.
When Ryan faced the swooping griffin knight, he accelerated in a Z shape to avoid the opponent's attack and said from a distance: "The sword bearer of the empire, Ryan."
Hmm?
Ryan?
The griffin knight who attacked Ryan's eyes widened immediately.
"Fuck! I actually attacked Lord Ryan."
It turned out that this griffin knight was Fisher who witnessed the battle between Ryan and the ancient hero Monger in Meister.
He was also transferred to Munster yesterday.
Asimov, who had scared the Griffin Knight away, suddenly dodged and entered an alley.
He quickly chanted a spell and waved the short staff in his hand.
In an instant, two lifelike figures appeared around him, exactly the same as the original body.
The next second, three figures, including himself, immediately rushed in three different directions.
Ryan, who was following behind, had a gleam in his eyes.
He still had some experience with the witchcraft "clone technique".
Since encountering Galina's clone technique that time, Ryan summed up the relevant combat experience.
Ryan chased in the middle almost without stopping, and quickly ordered the greyhound war dog "Cookie" to chase the figure on the left, while the blood-feathered horned eagle in the sky chased the figure on the right.
But at this moment, the Griffin Knight in the sky was a little blind.
In the dim night, there were three identical figures that could not be distinguished at all. They could only draw lots and randomly find a figure and chase after it. The
Night Watchmen, City Guards and other elite imperial forces that surrounded them on the ground had originally determined their positions based on the positions of the Griffin Knights in the air. Now they saw two Griffin Knights chasing them separately.
After a short period of chaos, they immediately divided the team into two groups, each chasing in the direction of a Griffin Knight.
After a while, Blood Feather was the fastest. As it leaned forward and sprinted, its claws pounced, and the figure on the right shattered like a bubble.
After a few seconds, Cookie's screams came from the left!
Cookie came forward to bite the figure, but was hit by a flame. A large area of hair on his back was directly ignited, and he rushed to the fountain pool on the side of the road to put out the fire.
But this move naturally exposed Asimov's true position.
Ryan immediately gave up the figure in the middle, turned around, and let the blood-feathered horned beast navigate for him in the sky, while he quickly chased after it.
Although Cookie was burned, it has the innate ability of "high-speed regeneration".
This injury is not serious for it.
After it rushed out of the flower bed fountain, it roared angrily and continued to chase Asimov again.
Asimov was relieved to see that he had shaken off the pursuers. He was thinking about whether to go back to the administrative district and take the airship in ten minutes to return to the imperial capital.
But the next second, his brows frowned again.
Asimov looked up at the blood-feathered horned beast in the sky, and then glanced back at Ryan and the greyhound war dog who appeared again behind him, and couldn't help cursing: "The ghost is still there!"
But Asimov could only speed up again at this moment!
Both sides were very fast, and soon they came to the trade area from the Munster administrative district, and then passed through the trade area and rushed into the civilian area.
Along the way, the low greenery, potted plants, street tables and chairs, awnings, etc., were like a Category 17 hurricane, and the strong wind caused by the two people's high-speed movement blew them into pieces, making a mess.
At this time, Asimov glanced at Ryan, who was like a thorn in his side, and immediately turned around and hid in an alley again, chanting the spell quickly.
And the next second, Asimov disappeared suddenly.
Two seconds later, Ryan rushed to the alley, cautiously on guard, and at the same time raised his head and looked around, frowning slightly.
"Invisibility?"
He was very sure that the other party's figure had never come out after entering the alley.
There were only two doors in this alley, and there was no sign of opening and closing.
"Woof woof!"
Cookie, who followed Ryan, sniffed and immediately barked at the roof on the right.
Ryan laughed immediately!
He suddenly turned around and instantly fired more than a hundred four-cornered darts in the direction of Cookie's roar!
"Blade Storm·Change!"
Suddenly, Asimov, who had nowhere to hide, showed up on the roof of a residential building in a slightly embarrassed manner.
Although the four-cornered darts could not cause any damage to him, it could make the other party's plan to escape by using invisibility fail!
"Damn, dead dog!" Asimov said angrily.
If he had known earlier, he should have killed the bad dead dog directly.
Cookie shook his wet hair, his tail raised high, looking quite proud, as if saying, "You made the dog a drowned dog, you will be in trouble!"
Asimov on the roof once again used Swift Wind, wrapped in a light blue whirlwind, and continued to flee.
Ryan jumped quickly, jumped onto the roof of the residential building, and chased after him!
Under the current circumstances, Asimov naturally knew that if he didn't get rid of Ryan's pursuit, he would have no chance of returning to the auction house, let alone going to the airship docking point and returning to the imperial capital.
Fortunately, it was cloudy tonight and visibility was very poor, otherwise the pursuit team would have to add the griffin knight.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Asimov looked back at Ryan angrily, and then looked at the tall Münster city wall that appeared in front of him, and immediately made up his mind.
In the city of Münster, if he cast a second-level sorcery, the formation in the city would immediately detect his specific location, and the imperial defense force would surround him like a mad dog.
But if he left the city, it would be different.
At that time, there would only be him and Ryan on both sides of the battle for a short time!
The next second, Asimov rushed towards the tall city wall of Münster.
Ryan, who was chasing behind, narrowed his eyes after seeing Asimov defeat several city guards defending the city and quickly climb the city wall.
"Are you going to escape from the city?"
Ryan accelerated again, and the hardened adamantium in his hand turned into claws. He chose to take a shortcut and climbed up the city wall with the strong grip of his claws.
Because Münster was built on the mountain, the height difference between some walls and the ground was extremely large, up to 70 or 80 meters.
Suddenly, Asimov, who was dozens of meters in front of Ryan, cast a floating spell on himself after bypassing a sentry tower.
Then, he jumped down from the city wall.
Asimov, who was slowly floating in the air towards the distance, turned his head to look at Ryan, pointed, and gestured a gesture of wiping his neck.
Meaning, he would definitely come back to show Ryan a good show!
Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked down at the ground outside the city wall, which was more than 70 meters high. If he jumped directly, he might not necessarily die, but he would most likely be seriously injured.
However, the next second, he thought of a way.
The hardened adamantium in Ryan's hand was immediately deformed and turned into two thin and long metal plates that imitated wings.
As a loud eagle cry came from behind him, a pair of sharp claws grabbed Ryan's shoulders.
Ryan also took advantage of the situation and jumped down from the city wall with the eagle, just like a biplane, gliding and chasing Asimov quickly.
Although the blood-feathered horned beast is not yet an adult and cannot bear Ryan's full weight, it can still reduce the speed of falling to avoid Ryan's injury.
This scene immediately made Asimov look like a dog!
The corners of his eyes twitched constantly!
The two of them landed almost at the same time, one in front of the other, tens of meters apart, and faced each other again.
However, both of them stared at each other, without moving!
At this time, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and in an instant, it illuminated the surrounding wilderness and the solemn faces of both parties!
Then, the rumbling of thunder began to be heard!
The bean-sized raindrops, crackling, fell densely like rain hitting bananas, and fell on the ground, rising up a smell of water vapor and soil.
