Chapter 306 Ritual (two chapters in one)
"Remember to notify them and ask them to evacuate immediately."
"Jennifer, you and Evelyn and the others will go to the Sword Bearer Branch immediately. I don't know when Admiral Edward and the others will suddenly return?"
"Once the situation is not good, it will be too late to retreat."
"Well, you have to be careful." The beautiful woman nodded. Although there was still worry in her eyes, she didn't say much.
"Captain, be careful." Angus and others on the side said one after another.
They knew very well that the legendary level battle was not something they could get involved in.
In this state, the Sword Bearer Branch and the Goddess Church may be the safest in the whole city.
At this time, as Neoro finished the spell, a hazy white light appeared on Ryan's body.
Ryan only felt that his whole body was lighter. The effect of the levitation spell was still very magical.
Before leaving, Ryan took down several steel shields hanging on the walls of the hall for decoration.
The shield in Ryan's hand quickly transformed into a steel spear. When he walked to the cliff on one side of the hall, he jumped directly. Under the effect of levitation, the whole person floated like a light leaf towards the direction of the giant evil spirit.
Seeing this scene, Neoro sighed and turned to Angus and said, "Angus, do you think the captain's strength has reached the quasi-legendary level?"
Angus nodded and said, "Well, if I'm not mistaken, when the captain performed the secret just now, the faint fluorescence on the surface of the hammer was not only the light of the Force, but also mixed with the brilliance of will."
"From this point of view, the captain's strength can be said to be at the quasi-legendary level."
Neoro nodded and said, "It seems that we have to work harder! Otherwise, the gap will get bigger and bigger!"
"It's difficult!" Angus couldn't help but feel a toothache when he thought of Ryan's super fast combat skill comprehension and improvement speed. It
's good and bad to deal with such a captain.
Basically, one person can complete all the dangerous combat missions, but this does not allow them to grow much. In the long run, the gap will only get bigger and bigger.
In addition, it is not that they are not working hard, but they really can't keep up with the speed of strength improvement!
He couldn't help but recall that two months ago, when they participated in the sword bearer assessment together, he felt that there was a gap between him and Ryan. Although there was a gap, it was not big.
But now it seems that the gap between the two is not a little bit.
"Let's go quickly and go back to the sword bearer branch first."
"Yeah."
No one went with Ryan, because the remaining four of them were just a complete combat team.
Defender Angus, controller and witchcraft attacker Neoro, melee attacker Vieri, and melee and witchcraft attacker Evelyn, while protecting the beautiful woman Jennifer.
The five people quickly passed through the panicked crowd and moved quickly towards the direction of the sword bearer branch.
In mid-air.
Ryan was getting closer and closer to the location of the giant evil spirit.
At this time, Ryan also saw clearly that the black-robed man beside the giant evil spirit was actually his old acquaintance Freeman.
He was covered with black flame vines, smiling, and from time to time he made a move, releasing a magic spell to attack and disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Punishment Knight Brandul and the Duke's advisor. He
was like a troublemaker on the battlefield, but it made his own battle very passive.
Speaking of Freeman.
The task he received was to attract the attention of the Empire and the Goddess Church in the early stage.
Freeman naturally knew that Exter had sent him away.
But on the one hand, he was not as strong as others, and on the other hand, the other party was his superior, so Freeman had no choice but to follow orders.
Fortunately, the other party at least gave him the "Gaze Eye", an evil object that had been fully charged.
It must be said that the power of the "Gaze Eye" is really strong.
No wonder, when Burrigs gave it to him, his expression was as if he had stolen his wife.
Before launching the attack, Freeman already had his own plan.
First, he placed the attack location in the trade area, where there were the most people and the most complex, instead of the civilian area a little further away as suggested by Exter.
The effect was also very good.
After slaughtering a considerable number of people, the giant evil spirit absorbed more souls, became larger and larger, and its power also increased.
Even in the face of the siege of two quasi-legends, it still did not lose the upper hand.
This made Freeman's mind slowly active.
Of course, he knew that the main purpose of this ceremony was to promote the high priest Exter to an epic level strongman.
If this plan succeeded smoothly, Exter would naturally be promoted to a higher level, but the key was that if he could also participate in the prayer ceremony on the side, he would more or less get some blessings from the great hunting god.
But according to the original plan, he was the bait thrown out.
As for participating in the prayer ceremony and praying for blessings, it was not his turn at all.
According to the plan, when he saw five pillars of light, he could retreat.
But Freeman thought about it, and he felt that he could still fight for participating in the prayer ceremony.
If he could control the evil spirit and push it all the way, even Exter would have nothing to say.
By then, Exter would eat meat and he could at least drink some soup.
Huh?
Suddenly, Freeman focused his attention on the giant evil spirit on the side.
It seemed to have absorbed enough soul energy, and the other party's breath expanded to a certain critical point.
Suddenly, it smiled strangely, and the girl doll that the little boy had been holding suddenly broke away and floated in the air.
A trembling pressure spread from the center of the girl doll to the surroundings, and the air flow surged, as if a black hole appeared in the center of the girl doll.
"Not good!"
"The other party is summoning other evil spirits to come!" The Duke's advisor immediately saw something, his face changed drastically, and he shouted.
But he and the Punishment Knight Brandul had not had time to stop it, and the girl doll screamed to the sky!
Suddenly, a transparent shock wave visible to the naked eye, with it as the center, spread rapidly to the surroundings, like a tsunami sweeping!
In an instant, more than a hundred imperial security guards and city guards who were on alert around them hugged their heads and wailed in pain.
At this moment, the momentum of the girl doll suddenly rose, and a strange and powerful breath spread.
Obviously, a powerful evil spirit has been summoned here by the other party and parasitized in the body of the girl doll.
The doll's head, which had been drooping, suddenly lifted up, and its translucent body began to stretch and grow larger.
The Punishing Knight Brandul and the Duke's Advisor looked at each other and felt that things were not going well!
Because their enemies now had changed from two to three.
At this moment, in addition to facing two quasi-legendary peak-level evil spirits, they also had a master of the Black Flame Cult next to them!
The situation was quite bad.
To make matters worse
, at this time, the messenger from the Administrative Office hurried over from the rear and shouted loudly: "My lords, the Administrative Office was attacked by the Black Flame Cult!"
"Their real purpose is actually the awarding ceremony. At present, the Duke and Admiral Edward have used the holy artifact 'Mirror of Fluctuation' to entangle the legendary leader of the other party."
"What?"
The two people's faces changed again and again!
You know, although the situation here was originally at a disadvantage, as long as they can hold on, the whole situation will slowly turn around.
After all, the Goddess Church and the Imperial Sword Bearer Munster Branch will continue to send masters here.
But the problem now is the Administrative Office.
They didn't expect the Black Flame Cult to be so strong. They naturally knew the Duke's plan, fishing.
It's like fishing with a fishing rod, but you caught a shark. Now it depends on whether the fishing line is strong enough.
The Duke's advisor made a decision immediately and said quickly: "Sir Brandul, the situation is out of control now."
"I suggest returning to the administrative office immediately to assist the Duke of Munster in repelling the attack over there. This is the most important thing."
The Punishment Knight Brandul was silent for a while.
Retreat? Of course he can retreat.
But the problem is that if they retreat, it means that the two giant evil spirits will wreak havoc in the city of Munster without any restrictions.
At that time, it is unknown how many civilians will be killed or injured.
As a Punishment Knight of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church, he felt that he could not do this.
Freeman's mood has never been so good.
He feels that he can keep pushing forward.
Perhaps at that time, he will receive the blessing and gift second only to the High Priest Exter at the Black Flame Prayer Ceremony.
At this time, he suddenly saw a small silver dot flying in the sky from the corner of his eye. It seemed to be a strange-looking bird.
But when he looked carefully, Freeman suddenly found that the other party was not a bird, but a knight wearing silver armor and holding a spear.
But as the other party approached quickly, he could see the other party's appearance clearly. Freeman's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth twitched, and his face revealed a trace of fear!
"Ryan!" Freeman couldn't help but shout out.
In an instant, Freeman recalled the fear that he had been dominated by Ryan in Meister.
"Fuck!"
"Exter and Burriges didn't even leave this guy behind!"
"What the hell are they doing?"
"Chiu!"
A very sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded!
Ryan, who was still in mid-air, suddenly swelled the muscles in his right hand. He infused the spear in his hand with the Force and a trace of willpower, and shot it straight at the little boy's evil spirit!
When the huge little boy evil spirit sensed the danger coming, he suddenly looked up and saw a four-meter-long special spear emitting a white light, suddenly flashing over his head!
In an instant, the spear penetrated like a hot knife cutting through butter, silky smooth!
The piercing wound made the little boy's evil spirit howl miserably!
It wanted to run away, but the spear infused with the radiance of will, as long as it moved, it would cause soul-splitting damage to it.
This made it unable to move for a while, and it looked like it was firmly fixed in place by the spear.
But it was not over yet.
Ryan quickly pulled out the two-handed war hammer on his back and held it in his hands, and used his will to dispel the floating spell. The whole person suddenly fell from a height of 20 to 30 meters.
This is a hammer falling from the sky!
"Bang!!!"
It started when Ryan hit the translucent shadow of the little boy's evil spirit.
He could clearly feel the resistance transmitted from the hammer head to the hammer handle and then to his hands.
The body of the little boy's evil spirit was further strengthened, and it felt like jelly, elastic and resilient. As the annihilation power in Ryan's hammer was transmitted, the opponent's huge translucent body trembled layer by layer.
When this wave was transmitted from the top of the little boy's head to the ground under the opponent's feet.
In an instant!
The whole little boy's evil spirit, as if a heavy bomb was detonated in his body, suddenly exploded like a jelly body, and a huge amount of white smoke rose up. It
was like a basin of water poured directly on a hot steel block, and white mist instantly evaporated!
At the same time, a pungent stench spread out synchronously!
It was like the shrill sound of hundreds of people wailing and screaming at the same time, lingering in everyone's hearts and ears.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned!
Freeman froze in place.
However, due to the indelible nature of the evil spirit, the shadow of the little boy soon emerged again in the air.
But the overall state was much weaker.
If the original translucent spirit body had a viscosity of jelly, it would be much thinner now, and it looked not much stronger than foam.
Obviously, Ryan's annihilation hammer just now directly caused the little boy's evil spirit to suffer a heavy blow.
At this time, the evil spirit that was summoned and occupied the girl doll came back to its senses. It raised its head and screamed. Its claws suddenly stretched out long nails and rushed towards Ryan, ready to pounce!
At this moment, Ryan's war hammer gently hit the little boy evil spirit that appeared again!
The effect of this hammer was completely different from the previous one!
This time, the people around only felt that Ryan's hammer was like a hammer hitting a mirror.
The little boy evil spirit, who had just recovered his body, showed horror on his face! It was
the first time that an evil spirit with the peak strength of a quasi-legendary showed a horrified face.
And the picture was frozen!
"Snap!"
The little boy evil spirit was like a doll made of glass. In an instant, from beginning to end, it broke into pieces, and then these fragments turned into white powder and slowly fell to the ground. It
did not appear again !
It just turned into a handful of evil spirit dust.
The powerful evil spirit that had just been ready to pounce trembled all over and looked horrified when he saw this scene! A pair of sharp claws almost touched Ryan's back, but he didn't dare to really poke it!
At the same time.
A crisp "click" sound came from Freeman's arms.
Freeman, who was in a daze, looked down and saw that the frame of the oil painting "Gazing Eyes" suddenly cracked.
This immediately made Freeman's heart roll up again. He roared in his heart, "I knew it! I knew it!! This Ryan is a monster!"
"Meeting him! There is definitely no good thing!"
Freeman's mood was almost crazy!
No wonder!
Twice.
Both times were like this!
Last time, he spent a lot of effort to awaken the ancient hero Munger, who was definitely impossible to lose, but was killed by the opponent!
And this time was the same. It was obviously an evil spirit with almost immortal characteristics, but the opponent only hit it with two hammers and directly hit it with the evil spirit dust!
This is totally unreasonable!
Didn't you see that the punishment knights of the Goddess Church could only fight with the evil spirits just now.
Although the opponent's magic will cause considerable damage to the evil spirit, it will take multiple, continuous damage to completely wipe out the evil spirit.
How can there be a monster like Ryan!
He killed the quasi-legendary evil spirit with just two hammers!
In an instant, Freeman felt a chill that suddenly surged from his tailbone to his whole body, and his fighting spirit disappeared!
At this time, Ryan slowly turned around and grinned at the evil spirit of the female doll that was about to pounce.
"Why don't you catch it?"
The next second, the summoned evil spirit screamed!
The powerful aura disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the female doll that was originally floating in the air seemed to have lost some kind of power and quickly fell to the ground.
Then, it immediately weathered and disappeared.
This made Ryan, who was about to attack, shake his head, a little helpless.
Just now he was about to accumulate power to launch the "Hammer of Annihilation" again.
But he didn't expect the opponent to be so decisive and run away in an instant.
What he had just used was the Soul Shattering Impact that had ten soul energies stacked on top of it!
Ignoring defense!
The true damage was really useful for hitting spiritual creatures like evil spirits.
He wanted to use it the last time he met the little boy's evil spirit, but unfortunately he didn't have enough soul energy at that time.
As for why he didn't use the "Soul Shattering Shock" on Freeman, the old acquaintance in front of him? It's
very simple.
He doesn't deserve it.
The last time the Punishment Knight Brandul saw Ryan, he felt that this young imperial swordsman was very powerful, but now it seems that the other party is not just "very strong" to describe.
He can understand Ryan's first hammer, which seems to be some kind of top-level mystery of hammer weapons, exploring the power of shock to the limit, and producing a trace of the power to crush everything.
But the second hammer, he really didn't understand, it was so powerful that it was like a blow from a god!
Duke's advisor Minor Levin was even more stunned!
Judging from his expression, it seems that some kind of inherent cognition is collapsing
. At this moment, Freeman is like falling into an ice cave!
He can actually scare the summoned evil spirit back. Is this really a human?
"Swoosh!"
Freeman immediately turned around and ran.
He ran quickly into the distance, and black air quickly lingered on his legs.
"Slowdown!"
But Freeman forgot that in addition to Ryan, his opponent also had the Duke's Advisor, a second-level liquefied wizard, who immediately cast a slowdown spell to slow down his actions.
The Punishment Knight and Ryan chased him at almost the same time, and in an instant, two war hammers attacked his back.
If he was hit, he would be finished!
Freeman made up his mind and threw the oil painting "Gazing Eye" in his hand at the two people.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion suddenly appeared in Ryan's war hammer and oil painting.
Just a moment ago, the oil painting "Gazing Eye" was pierced from the center by Ryan's annihilation hammer. The oil painting was like a balloon leaking air. Hundreds of soul phantoms, dragging long tail flames, rushed straight into the sky from the breach!
Multiple shock waves swept around!
Even Ryan and Brando had to take a defensive posture and use means to resist the impact of the huge soul energy.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Freeman had used the shock wave to run hundreds of meters away.
This distance was not far for Ryan, and he immediately planned to catch up.
This guy was lucky last time and let him escape in Meister. This time
... Suddenly, everyone present turned back to look at the top of the city, where the Munster Administrative Office was located.
The five black light beams that had been extinguished were actually restarted at this moment, and the feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
Obviously, someone was restarting the evil magic array!
"What a lucky guy."
"Escaped again!" Ryan looked at the black-robed figure in the distance, shook his head slightly, and said.
He naturally knew what was important.
The evil spirit that might endanger the safety of his family had been eliminated.
The most important thing now was to prevent the Black Flame Cult from starting the ritual.
After all, no one knew what disastrous consequences would be brought about after the other party's evil magic array was activated.
But
who would be the guy who restarted the evil magic array?
Is it the back-up of the Black Flame Cult, or the legendary guy called Exter by the Duke of Munster?
Huh?
Ryan looked down at the dark two-handed warhammer in his hand.
He was surprised to find that after his warhammer smashed the strange oil painting, ten soul energies were refilled in an instant.
This means that he can perform the "Soul Shattering Shock" again!
At the same time.
Munster Administrative Hall.
On the floor of the entire hall, complex black lines such as straight lines, arcs, and semicircles emitting black light appeared, and together formed a complex and mysterious huge pattern.
The four people who were originally pulled away from reality by the "Mirror of Fluctuation" have now returned to the center of the hall.
The four people are not in good condition. The most seriously injured one is the ascetic monk of the Goddess Church who is lying on the ground and trying to get up.
There is a piercing wound the size of a baby's fist in the center of his chest, which almost takes away all his vitality.
Admiral Edward was also seriously injured. He knelt on one knee, holding a sword in one hand. One side of his abdomen, including armor and flesh, seemed to be missing a part. The wound was semicircular and blood was flowing.
The Duke of Munster's python armor was also broken in several places at this moment, and the wounds were visible to the bone!
"You are so strong!" The Duke of Munster pointed at Exter with a look of surprise and regret.
In contrast, although Exter had many wounds on his body, none of them were fatal. On the contrary, he was the one with the lightest injuries. Moreover, the black airflow on the ground was swirling up from his feet and quickly covering his wounds.
His wounds were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It seems that I won this time!"
Exter said as he looked around and found that Burriges and his elite subordinates were not at the scene. He was a little confused.
"Although the planned sacrifices have all escaped, the three of you are enough!"
"Moreover, the effect will definitely be better than all of them combined!"
As if he had thought of something, a smile suddenly appeared on Exter's face, and he continued:
"By the way, there is one thing I want to tell you. In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is meaningless."
