Chapter 318 Death of the High Priest (Two chapters in one)
"Dang!!!"
Ryan's hardened adamantium war hammer and the pair of short swords of the six-armed Naga collided heavily.
This time, Ryan was blown away several meters by the impact force, and although Selenis was not shocked back, her entire upper body also leaned back greatly, and the ground where the snake's tail touched was instantly cracked.
Obviously, she transmitted the impact force to the ground.
"Hoo~Hoo~"
Ryan gasped for breath, and white steam rose from his body!
Just now, he almost continuously used the secret, which consumed a lot of his physical energy, but his eyes became brighter and brighter!
In the previous battle, Ryan had added points twice in a row.
In other words, Ryan had recovered his physical strength twice, which was equivalent to two times, so he could fight with the six-armed Naga for so long.
The opponent's six arms can all participate in the attack, which puts unprecedented pressure on Ryan in terms of skills.
He had to control the three shields of the witchcraft 'metal barrier' to resist the attack that the war hammer could not resist, and at the same time, he had to use the secret.
But this was the first time that Ryan had fought such a match.
At this moment, there was a faint flame jumping in Ryan's heart, making his blood boil!
Unlike the ancient hero Monger and the Black Flame Cult High Priest Exter who was possessed, these two were all competing in strength in the end, but the one in front of him was not very strong, only slightly stronger than Ryan.
With Ryan's huge strength and the blessing of the dragon's bloodline, they were almost equal, and both sides relied on various close combat skills.
For Ryan, this was simply a perfect sparring partner! On the
other hand, Selenis, at this moment, looked tired, and the pair of arms holding the dagger in the middle were trembling slightly.
Obviously, the previous battle had almost exhausted her physical strength.
But even if she tried her best, she still failed to defeat the opponent, which made Selenis, who was already difficult to think rationally, extremely angry!
"Damn it!"
She began to wave her arm holding the short staff, and began to mutter something.
In fact, if her soul had not been injured at this moment, the 'Water Whirlpool' she was about to cast would have been almost instantaneous.
But now, she had to chant a spell to cast it.
"Ang!"
Ryan immediately shouted a 'Dragon Roar', interrupting Selenis's spell and causing her to pause for a moment. Ryan suddenly flashed two afterimages, and his real body attacked her from the side and back.
The two of them immediately engaged in a fierce close combat again!
And with Selenis's scream, more than 20 male blood-cursed nagas who were blocked at the entrance of the forbidden gate by Angus and others, at this moment, like crazy, with red eyes, rushing inside without fear of life and death.
This immediately defeated Angus and others!
This retreat, even if it opened up the best and narrowest entrance, it was impossible to block the blood-cursed nagas from entering!
Angus and the others were horrified, while Neoro immediately shouted at Ryan:
"Captain, we can't hold on any longer! Be careful of the blood-cursed Nagas that are rushing in!"
Ryan, who heard the reminder, looked out of the corner of his eye and saw more than a dozen male blood-cursed Nagas, all of whom were injured and rushing towards him. This scene made him happy.
In order to avoid more trouble, Ryan had long wanted to kill the six-armed Naga in front of him as soon as possible, instead of dragging it on like this.
Unexpectedly, soul energy was delivered to the door!
Ryan used his full strength to perform the shadow step, and in an instant, he appeared next to the five blood-cursed Nagas who had just rushed in. Almost at the same time, five different figures swinging hammers appeared.
"Bang! Bang!"
After five consecutive hammering sounds like firecrackers, four of the five figures suddenly disappeared, leaving only Ryan's real body in the field, still swinging hammers with both hands and smashing down heavily.
The heads of the five blood-cursed nagas exploded one after another, and they collapsed to the ground!
After repeating this once.
Nine transparent blood-cursed nagas, with long tail flames, circled around Ryan for several circles, and were sucked into the hammer in Ryan's hand.
"Undead witchcraft!" Selenis narrowed her eyes, and was quite shocked.
The next second!
Ryan raised the hammer high, rushed towards Selenis, and hit her with all his strength!
"Dang!!!"
Blocked!
But before Selenis could be happy, she screamed again in her hands!
"Ah!!!"
She could block the "Hammer of Annihilation", but she couldn't block the "Soul-Smashing Shock"!
This time, the "Soul-Smashing Shock" caused Selenis's already injured soul to be more seriously injured.
If it weren't for the extremely high strength of her soul as a senior legend, I'm afraid this blow would have killed her directly.
But at this time, she was like a madman, screaming in pain, and her six arms were dancing wildly!
This made Ryan feel uncomfortable to go up and fight her head-on.
However, in a flash, a flash of inspiration came to Ryan's mind.
The two-handed war hammer in his hand quickly changed into a lance more than three meters long. Relying on his flexible footsteps, he attacked from a distance.
Although the power of the lance is inferior to other weapons that have comprehended the secrets, and it cannot be compared with the hammer technique that has mastered the top secrets, it is relatively safe!
This is a bit like the feeling of using an explosion-proof fork to subdue the gangster in the previous life. Control the distance well to ensure your own safety, and then continue to attack.
After controlling the distance, Ryan continued to stab!
It seems that because of the two consecutive "Soul-Breaking Shocks", the opponent's soul was severely injured. There was no method to attack. Ryan's lance hit every
time. The six-armed Naga, whose defensive magic had disappeared, was constantly emitting blood.
It seemed that it had become a target for Ryan's lance teaching!
The opponent's movements were getting slower and slower!
Ryan narrowed his eyes, and in an instant, he stabbed with all his strength. The tip of the lance went straight through the opponent's throat.
"Hehe."
Selenis' eyes suddenly widened. She felt her life slipping away.
In an instant, countless memories flooded into her heart.
"How could I die here? I'm so unwilling!"
"Clang!"
The sound of weapons falling to the ground sounded one after another. The weapons held by Selenis's six arms fell one after another, and she lowered her head and stopped moving.
"Hu~Hu~"
Ryan panted, while recalling the feeling of the lance just now.
At this time, he felt a strong green energy lingering around him, and palm-sized green leaves, emitting green light, fell on his wound.
Ryan looked up and saw that it was Anna who was performing the spell. The fine beads of sweat on her forehead showed that at this moment, Anna was also doing her best to perform the healing spell.
This made Ryan feel warm in his heart.
Seeing Ryan looking over, Anna smiled sweetly.
Due to the bonus of the dragon's blood, Ryan's high-level steel body defense was further improved. Even when facing the attack of the six-armed Naga, the injury was not very serious.
And under the effect of Anna's "healing spell", it recovered almost quickly.
"Hiss~ This... This is too powerful!" Famore looked at Ryan who killed the six-armed Naga with a shocked face and said.
Batista and Remiel's tolerance was much higher.
Because both of them had seen Ryan's exaggerated fighting power, so after a little daze, they came back to their senses.
After shouting several times, Neoro and others came over quickly and rescued Batista and more than a dozen trapped people.
Although everyone was injured and their combat effectiveness was only one tenth of what it was, they still had no problem walking.
Batista and Remiel stepped forward and bowed slightly to Ryan to thank him:
"Sir Ryan, this time it's thanks to you again, otherwise, I'm afraid all of us would have died."
Last time, it was Ryan who saved them here.
This time, it was the same.
This made Remiel a little embarrassed.
"You're welcome, Sir Batista, Sir Remiel, this is my duty." Ryan waved his hand and smiled.
"Sir Ray Ryan, I'm Farmer, the captain of the silver-level team 'Broken Blade'. Thank you for your rescue this time!" A young man stepped forward and thanked him a little restrainedly.
"Hello, Farmer." Ryan smiled and nodded.
After a few greetings, everyone began to clean up the battlefield.
At this time, everyone had time to carefully look at the empty cave inside the forbidden door.
Soon, everyone found that deep in the cave full of skeletons, there was a row of huge half-human-high eggshells that had long been broken. Then, they saw the eggshell that Ryan crushed, which was still wet with egg liquid.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"Could this be the egg of the three-headed sea dragon with a magic tail?" Remiel said in shock.
He was able to quickly identify the origin of these eggs because he was an eyewitness to the fierce battle between His Highness the Dragon Knight Menia and the three-headed sea dragon with a magic tail, and naturally knew the general situation in the Blood Curse Naga Cave.
"Well, it should be." Ryan nodded.
Hearing Ryan's affirmative answer, everyone couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
"Hiss~ The egg of the Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon!"
"How powerful it would be if it hatched!"
"You wishful thinking, don't you think about how long it takes for a three-headed sea dragon to grow? It is estimated that when it grows up, you will also be buried in the ground."
"That's right."
For Ryan, with the system prompt, he naturally knew that this was a sea dragon egg.
However, he had not seen the row of sea dragon eggs that had been broken long ago.
Immediately, Ryan fixed his eyes on the sea dragon egg he had just crushed.
Under the cover of the white bones, the sea dragon egg he crushed was extremely hidden.
Perhaps, this is why only this sea dragon egg can be preserved?
"It's a pity that the last Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon egg was also broken, otherwise, there would still be a chance to cultivate it into a battle pet." Neoro couldn't help but sigh.
"It's unlikely. The Demon Tail Three-Headed Sea Dragon is wild and difficult to tame. Unless you, as the master, can always crush the opponent with strength, otherwise, it is easy to defect." Remiel explained on the side.
"I can't do it, but the captain should be able to do it." Neoro glanced at Ryan and said to Remiel.
"This..."
This made Remiel not know what to say.
Saying that Ryan's strength is not as good as the three-headed sea dragon?
This is hard to say, not to mention that Ryan saved them.
To be honest, with Ryan's current strength at this age, it is really possible that he can suppress the magic tail three-headed sea dragon in terms of strength.
Ryan looked calm. After all, the essence of the sea dragon egg has been absorbed by him, and it can be regarded as maximized.
The most important thing is that he has obtained more important information than a battle pet through this "egg liquid baptism".
At this time, the group had come to the corpse of the six-armed Naga. After carefully looking at the other party's body features, Remiel said to Ryan:
"Sir Ryan, according to the records in ancient books, this six-armed Naga has the combat power of a senior legend or even a peak legend. Moreover, the other party is female. It is likely that she is a priest in the Blood Curse Naga Clan, or even a high priest."
"Oh?" Ryan looked at the corpse of the six-armed Naga again.
This confirmed his previous guess. After all, with such strong strength, she should be either the clan leader or the high priest.
"The Blood Curse Naga Clan is headed by females. The position of the high priest is higher than that of the clan leader, and it is always held by female Nagas." Remiel added.
"That's right, I've also seen records in relevant ancient books." Neoro echoed.
"Captain, come and see, the other party has a letter." As a follower of Ryan, Vieri was naturally responsible for helping Ryan collect spoils. He raised a letter and gestured.
Ryan took it and looked at it, surprised, and said, "Huh? It's written in the common language, shouldn't it be Naga?"
"High Priest Selinis, please organize the outposts to wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack"
"It's the high priest."
"And, this is a letter from the Sea God Church to this person named Selinis."
After reading it, Ryan handed the letter to Remiel on the side. He himself was thoughtful and quickly outlined the general outline of the matter.
The other party should have two purposes for returning to the forbidden gate this time.
One is to hatch the magic tail three-headed sea dragon egg that was fortunately preserved for some reason; and the other should be to cooperate with the other party to wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack at the request of the Sea God Church.
It seems that I have to convey this news to the navy and the sword bearer immediately to facilitate the decision-making of the upper level.
"Evelyn, you contact the branch immediately and send this letter and the situation of the rescued people to Lady Olena."
"Okay, Captain." Evelyn took the letter and quickly stuffed it into a small bamboo tube.
"Let's leave here first." Ryan called.
Naturally, everyone had no objection and quickly followed Ryan to the entrance of the cave.
Along the way, Batista and Ryan were talking about something:
"Originally, we were in Meister to guard against the members of the Secret Snake Cult who had just appeared, but after receiving the situation here, we immediately rushed here."
"Huh? What are the movements of the Secret Snake Cult now?" Ryan's heart tightened when he heard it.
"They are scattered, and they seem to be looking for something, and they did not launch an attack on the empire." Batista said.
"It seems that they are most likely looking for the traces of the ancient legendary land snake." Ryan nodded and said.
"Legendary land snake?" Batista was obviously stunned when he heard it.
"Yeah."
Ryan immediately told Batista about what happened before.
At this time, everyone knew that this Lord Ryan had actually completed such an awesome mission. He not only encountered the legendary earth snake, but also killed a high priest and a chief priest of the Secret Snake Cult.
"But, after the other party controls the earth snake, will they leave Meister obediently?" Vieri asked.
"It is highly unlikely. At that time, it should be the moment when they launch the attack." Ryan thought for a while, shook his head and said.
"Captain, in that case, what are we waiting for? Find and kill them first. We can't let them control the legendary earth snake and then passively defend." Vieri suggested.
"Well, that's what I planned. It seems that we have to return to Meister County City as soon as possible." Ryan naturally thought of Claire.
If the other party chooses to attack Count Habsburg's mansion directly, Claire will find it difficult to resist, even though Claire has now entered the level of a great knight.
The reason was simple. Even if it was the high priest Ganon that he killed last time, if Claire fought him alone, she would not be his opponent at all.
But this time, the other party came prepared, and the people they sent out would naturally be stronger than Ganon.
"Sir Ryan, I'll let Remiel and the others stay to help. They have tracked those members of the Secret Snake Cult, so they will have some experience." Batista knew his physical condition and that if he stayed, he would not have any fighting power, so he suggested.
"That's naturally the best." Ryan nodded.
Soon, the group walked out of the cave. The guards at the door were naturally overjoyed and greeted them warmly.
After Anna recovered her mental strength a little, she began to quickly bandage the wounds of the injured and cast the "Healing Touch".
"Healing Touch", as the entry-level witchcraft of the druid, consumes much less mental power and is more suitable for the current situation.
Ryan took the time to check the system prompt:
[Congratulations, your skill Spear of Langilo has been upgraded to level 9]
[Congratulations, you defeated a powerful enemy and gained 12 gold skill points! ]
[Congratulations, your Will (Hidden) attribute has been upgraded! ]
[Congratulations, your Weapon Master (Legend) occupation level has been upgraded! ]
Since the Weapon Master (Legend) occupation level was close to upgrading last time, it naturally upgraded by one level this time, reaching level 10 (991/20000).
This allowed Ryan to gain one skill point and one attribute point.
Adding his original remaining points, the total remaining attribute points are now 6 points, the remaining skill points are 3 points, and the gold skill points have reached 22 points.
Ryan glanced at the attribute panel:
Constitution: 47
Strength: 54 (3 points of strength are added in battle)
Agility: 47
Spirit: 55
Will (Hidden Attribute): 9
"Will has been increased by 2 points?" Ryan looked surprised.
"Good!"
"In this case, I only need 1 point to reach the 10-point mark."
Ryan carefully felt it again and found that the influence of the evil flame mark on him was indeed minimal.
As expected, one's own strength is always the best reliance.
"Huh? The Spear of Longilo has been upgraded to level 9?"
"Doesn't this mean that I can now directly upgrade by adding points and comprehend the mystery!"
In an instant, Ryan's eyes lit up and his face showed joy!
——
Meister.
At the gate of Count Habsburg's mansion.
Accompanied by a guard, butler Yodel hurried out and got on a luxurious carriage with a kali bird icon. Then, the coachman drove the carriage forward.
However, the carriage had not taken two steps before it was stopped on the street by a graceful woman in black robes.
The other party was wearing a hood and her face could not be seen clearly.
"Hi Lulu!"
The coachman had to pull the reins and shouted angrily, "You are going to die!"
"Excuse me, is that butler Yodel in there?" A magnetic female voice said. When the coachman and the guard heard it, they felt numb in their hearts and inexplicably had some good feelings for the black-robed woman.
Therefore, even when they saw the black-robed woman walking towards the carriage, the two did not stop her.
"You are." Yodel looked puzzled and looked at the stranger in front of him.
The black-robed woman slowly lifted her hood, and a gorgeous face appeared in front of butler Yodel, and a pair of deep eyes flashed a psychedelic light.
Butler Yodel felt his eyes blurry for a moment, and then his eyes showed a confused trance.
At the same time, two tall black-robed men suddenly appeared beside the coachman and the guard.
Just when the two felt something was wrong, they heard the sound of a snake hissing from the black-robed man.
The next second!
Two python-like creatures, with bloody mouths, suddenly poked out from the wide sleeves of the black-robed man. In an instant, the coachman and the guard were swallowed up, and the two did not even have time to scream.
After the black-robed woman got on the carriage, the two black-robed men quickly controlled the carriage and drove towards a remote alley in the distance.
"Yodel, tell me how the young man who controlled the giant snake died some time ago, and who killed him." The black-robed woman sat in the carriage and asked with her head tilted.
"Yes, sir!"
In Yodel's eyes, the one asking him at this moment was the respected Count Habsburg.
As for why Count Habsburg appeared in front of him, he didn't know, and he didn't seem to want to think about overly complicated questions.
Just listen to Yodel instinctively telling the whole story in detail!
"Very good!"
"Then you are useless now." The black-robed woman said calmly.
"Hmm?" At this time, Yodel's eyes gradually regained clarity, and he also heard the black-robed woman's last words.
Just as he was still wondering what the other party meant by this sentence, suddenly, a bloody mouth bit off his head!
Yodel only felt that it was dark, and a tingling sensation came all over his body, and he knew nothing.
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped in a remote alley, and two male black-robed men immediately entered the carriage from the coachman's position.
"Special Envoy Icosela!" The two bowed respectfully.
"Now the situation is very clear. My brother was killed by an Imperial Sword Bearer named Ryan during the attack on the Habsburg Mansion."
"Special Envoy Icosela, what do you mean?"
"Now that guy named Ryan has returned to the Munster Sword Bearer Branch, but my brother's death is closely related to this Count Habsburg. I want everyone in the mansion to be buried with him!"
"Then, I will go to Munster again."
"Special Envoy. Let me tell you, should we wait for Lord Edmundo to find the legendary land snake? After all, the Pope's order is to..." The man in black robes chose his words carefully, and seemed to be a little afraid of the man in front of him.
"Hmm..."
A white arm pinched the neck of the man in black robes, and instantly made the other party unable to say the rest of the words.
"I hate it most when someone uses the Pope to pressure me!" The white fingers kept adding force, as if to twist the other party's neck.
Another black robe quickly bowed respectfully to Icosela and said,
"Please calm down, Special Envoy Icosela, if you attack the Count Habsburg's mansion now, the possibility of directly destroying the other party is not high, because there are only three of us, and someone on the other side will definitely escape, and you see."
Hmm?
Icosela followed the black robe's pointing and looked at the sky through the car window, only to see two small black dots flying one after the other over Meister.
With Icosela's eyesight, he could see clearly that the two small black dots in the sky were two Imperial Griffin Knights.
"So, when Lord Edmundo leads the legendary land snakes to join us, I think we can guarantee that everyone in the Count Habsburg's mansion will have no chance to escape and will be completely destroyed."
"Waiting is for better results."
"Very good! You convinced me! Then I will wait for two more days." Icosela nodded and let go of his hand. With a "thump", the first black robe who spoke fell heavily to the ground and breathed heavily.
The face of the man in black robe had turned purple. After looking at Icosela with horror, he lowered his head and dared not look at her directly.
This woman, nicknamed "Crazy Snake" in the church, was one of the twelve secret snake messengers whose status was higher than that of the high priest. She was second only to His Holiness the Pope and had the ability to independently offer sacrifices to the great Devouring Snake.
"Holdan, my dear brother, I will kill all the murderers who killed you one by one." Icosela whispered.
Although these words were not said to the two elite members of the Secret Snake Church next to him, they could not help but feel a chill on their backs. They looked at each other and saw a trace of pity in each other's eyes.
Of course, this was pity for the person who killed Holdan.
Everyone in the church knew that Holdan's sister Icosela was a super "brother-supporting demon". Even if they were high-ranking high priests in the church, if they had any unpleasantness with Holdan, they would be directly sought out by Lady Icosela to ask for an explanation.
It can be imagined how miserable the enemy will die this time!
Moreover, they also heard about this incident.
Some time ago, Holden followed the high priest Ganon of the Nome Province to come to Munster to perform a mission. This was actually a "gilded" journey specially arranged by Lord Icosela.
The purpose was to accumulate qualifications and facilitate future promotions.
But who would have thought that the original "gilded" journey would cause Holden to die in Munster!
This made Lord Icosela, who was a "brother-supporting demon", both sad and angry.
Now that we know who the murderer is, Lord Icosela's anger is naturally unstoppable.
Thank you for the 500 starting coins reward from "Be Happy and Have Good Luck"!
