Chapter 337 Heart of Corruption (Two chapters in one)
Ryan walked forward and quickly cast the Activation Technique on the three combat puppets.
With the LV4 Activation Technique, the three combat puppets stood up flexibly.
That's right, Ryan just added the last two skill points to the Activation Technique, bringing the Activation Technique to LV4.
The description of the LV4 Activation Technique naturally changed:
LV4 Effect of Activation Technique: Consume a certain amount of mental power, induce mysterious energy particles, and give a certain humanoid or animal-like dead object activity, giving it primary wisdom and more flexible action ability, which lasts for two hours.
The highlights are "more flexible" and "two hours".
At the same time, Ryan also used the innate witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration" to transform the original left-hand shields of the three combat puppets of different materials into barbed spikes.
A weapon that is difficult to pull out once it is inserted into the body.
"Puppetry?" The Duke of Munster couldn't help but wonder.
He had always thought that Ryan was a top knight who was proficient in many extraordinary combat skills, but now it seems that he is also a rare puppeteer.
Admiral Edward, who is more familiar with Ryan, was also stunned.
Because although he knew that Ryan was a rare metal wizard who studied wizardry, he also didn't know that Ryan was actually a puppeteer.
Of course, the focus of other people who were not familiar with Ryan was not on this.
Others were more concerned about how this unfamiliar young man planned to defeat this corrupt dragon.
You know, the opponent has a very contagious corrupt force field around him, and the griffin knights can only linger from a distance and perform long-range attacks.
Including Duke Victor, seeing Ryan's smooth movements, they vaguely knew that the young man in front of them should have some kind of plan in his mind, but although they were curious, time was tight at the moment, and it was not appropriate to ask.
However, most people present were smart people.
A few of them thought of Ryan's request for high explosives just now, and their eyes lit up immediately, but soon, they looked thoughtful again.
Because even if there are high explosives, how to use them is still a problem.
At this time, three packages of high explosives have been delivered. Ryan's mind moved, and he saw three combat puppets carrying a bag of heavy high explosives.
Ryan jumped up and rode on the Blood Feather Hippogryph. Then, in addition to placing the combat puppets with demonized silver shells behind him, Blood Feather grabbed the other two in his claws one by one.
"Let's go!"
As Ryan clamped his legs, he saw a green airflow lingering around Blood Feather, flapping his wings vigorously, and immediately carrying Ryan, flying quickly towards the corrupt dragon not far away.
The people on the military airship watched Ryan go away, and at the same time, they were curious and guessing in their hearts how this seemingly extraordinary young man planned to defeat this corrupt dragon.
Just now, Ryan felt that the infection ability of this corrupt dragon was extremely strong, but the defense ability of the body was relatively weak.
Simply put, this is an enemy with very obvious advantages and disadvantages.
But hand-to-hand combat is the strong point of him and the Blood Feather Hippogryph under his crotch!
Therefore, he had to get close and play to his own advantages.
Of course, there was a prerequisite, that is, he had to be able to withstand the opponent's yellow-green gas force field, and it would be best if he could also withstand the damage of the opponent's corrupt breath.
Because the brave griffin knights had been fighting the corrupt dragon desperately, the addition of a blood-feathered horned eagle beast that was about the same size as the griffin did not attract the attention of the corrupt dragon Agnes.
At this moment, the anger of the corrupt dragon Agnes was directed at the federal giant gunship that had just caused severe damage to it.
"Blood Feather, throw!"
When Blood Feather flew directly above the corrupt dragon, Ryan quickly gave the order.
The ordinary iron combat puppet on Blood Feather's left claw, carrying high explosives, fell on the huge body of the corrupt dragon Agnes with a snap, just like a spider.
"Snap!"
Agnes, who was tearing the federal giant airship with her claws, was slightly stunned because she felt an ant landing on her back.
This is because the Iron Combat Golem used the axe blade to pierce the dragon skin surface to fix its body, so the Corrupted Dragon felt it immediately.
But it shook its head and still didn't care.
Because as long as it is a living thing, it will quickly fall into corruption under its corrupt force field and become its dependent, referred to as a "blood bag".
But after a while, it found that this matter seemed not as simple as it thought.
Because there was a slight tingling sensation on its back, it could feel that the ant-sized thing was actually climbing all the way up and almost crawling to its head.
This made it a little confused?
Why didn't this little thing get corrupted and become its dependent?
I saw that the Corrupted Dragon Agnes had to stretch back the dragon claws that were tearing the protective film of the federal gunboat and grab it at the back of its neck.
The next second!
"Boom!!!"
A fierce fire flashed!
The Iron Combat Golem was gloriously "sacrificed".
Although it had not yet climbed to the head of the Corruption Dragon to explode, at this moment, it had almost climbed to the top of the Corruption Dragon Agnes's long neck, where it connected to the head.
This explosion directly opened a large hole in the back of the Corruption Dragon Agnes's neck, exposing the cervical vertebrae!
"Ang!!!"
A miserable dragon roar suddenly sounded!
Seeing the self-explosion of the battle puppet, which attracted all the attention of the Corruption Dragon, Ryan's eyes lit up, and he immediately seized this opportunity and instantly activated the divine art of the medal, "Goddess's Protection", and launched a surprise attack.
"Sprint! Blood Feather!"
Ryan covered the surface of Blood Feather with a layer of demonized thorium to resist the yellow-green mist around the Corrupted Dragon as much as possible. At the same time, the hardened fine gold in his hand quickly transformed into a lance more than four meters long.
As Blood Feather's wings accelerated, Ryan, one man and one eagle, drew a silver straight line and swooped down from the sky above the Corrupted Dragon.
The target was directly aimed at the top of the hardest skull of the Corrupted Dragon Agnes!
Why choose the hardest part of the enemy?
Because Ryan had a rough understanding of the introduction of the undead creatures in this world before, destroying the head is still one of the most effective means.
Therefore, even for a corrupt dragon, the key to controlling the whole body is likely to be in the head.
Of course, Ryan is not 100% sure, but it might as well give it a try.
At the same time.
On the Federation Lancelot-class gunboat, at this moment, the Federation's officers and officers are no longer as calm as before.
The heroic spirit that had just instructed the Empire to fight had vanished. Now, in the captain's cabin that was shaking violently, they were shouting at the top of their lungs:
"Turn on the defensive energy of the magic array to the maximum! We must protect it!"
"The close combat team will launch an attack immediately!"
"We've tried it! It doesn't work! As soon as everyone walked out of the cabin, they were infected by the corrupt force field of the corrupt dragon. Not only did they lose their combat effectiveness, but they quickly became the followers of the corrupt dragon." A colonel on the side quickly reported.
If the cabin had not been strengthened by multiple layers of magic arrays, everyone in the captain's cabin might have been infected by the corrupt force field at this moment.
"Asshole, why aren't the cannons on the side firing!" Vice Admiral Ryze shouted.
"The shaking is too violent, and the cannons can't be loaded." The major general who seemed to be in charge of the cannons on the side said solemnly.
Orders were issued one after another.
Another difficult situation was reported.
Although the head of the delegation, Trena, looked calm at the moment, her heart was already filled with turmoil. At the same time, she cursed the chief engineer of the Lancelot-class gunboat in her heart!
Although she was the representative and head of the delegation, she was not good at real battles.
However, when she boarded the gunboat, the chief engineer responsible for building the Lancelot-class gunboat introduced that this was a great invention of the Federation with comprehensive strength comparable to that of a dragon.
She took it to heart, "The combat power is equal to that of a dragon."
This was the reason why she made such a decision before.
Unexpectedly, in actual combat, the shortcomings of the giant gunboat were extremely obvious.
It seemed to have strong firepower, but when the giant monster approached, there were few means to deal with it, and the artillery could not attack because of the violent shaking. Now it all depends on the defensive magic array engraved enough.
Otherwise, at this moment, the boat would have been destroyed and everyone would have died.
"Look! What is that!" A school officer in the captain's room saw Ryan and the blood-feathered horned beast, and his eyes widened, pointing and shouting.
So, everyone looked up.
As the rot dragon approached, a miserable dragon roared!
A man and an eagle, all protected by dark silver armor, exuding a sacred luster, pulled out a silver light, descended from the sky, wielded a long lance, and pierced the rot dragon's head.
The silver light flashed, like a meteorite!
"Puff!"
The crisp piercing sound could be heard almost within a radius of 100 meters.
In the eyes of the federal generals who were shocked to the point of being almost dazed, they saw a raptor as big as a griffin perched on the rot dragon's head.
The knight on the raptor inserted a lance into the head of the rot dragon Agnes.
The head of the rot dragon Agnes suddenly drooped down, and the sharp claws also broke away from the entanglement with the giant federal gunboat and fell down limply.
Ryan's attack shocked a group of people from the federation!
At this moment, all the officers, including the powerful and beautiful woman Terena, were thinking of the shot that Ryan had fired from the sky!
Terena's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she grabbed the telescope and couldn't wait to observe Ryan carefully, and asked:
"The one who just shot should be the guardian of the Dragun Empire, right?"
"It should be, but I didn't see it clearly. We don't have any guardian with the same appearance as this one in the existing information." A servant reported quickly.
"However, the sacred light just now felt like the breath of divine magic."
"Huh? No." Terena suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Because she saw the handsome and young Ryan sitting on the back of the blood-feathered horned eagle through the telescope.
At his age, he couldn't be the guardian of the Dragun Empire.
But he was so powerful.
What was his origin?
Terena couldn't help but be quite curious.
Ryan's attack also stunned everyone on the Imperial military airship, including Ryan's superior, Admiral Edward, and the Duke of Munster. At this moment, they all had their eyes wide open and looked surprised.
Duke Victor, who was very unhappy with Ryan before, was even more dumbfounded at this moment!
After a long while, Duke Victor came back to his senses, looked at Admiral Edward, and finally understood what was going on. He cursed in his heart:
"Damn, no wonder we had to wait for this young man to get on the airship just now. It turns out that he is the killer of the Munster Sword Bearer Branch!"
"Old fox!"
"To be able to penetrate the skull of the Corrupted Dragon, this young man's strength is really a legendary strongman!"
"Even if he is placed in the Imperial Capital Sword Bearer Headquarters, he is at least a Mithril-level Sword Bearer, and maybe he can be rated as a Platinum-level
Sword Bearer. Edward actually hid him in a provincial branch." "What the hell is he talking about a Diamond-level Sword Bearer? How treacherous."
"So young, but with such strong strength, what a good seedling!"
Victor's previous unhappiness with Ryan had long since disappeared.
Now he was thinking about whether he should find a suitable reason to transfer Ryan to the Imperial Capital, preferably so that he could be used by him.
In mid-air, the surviving Griffin Knights gathered around.
For most of the Griffin Knights, they were actually ready to sacrifice just now.
So, they were naturally overjoyed to be able to survive at this moment!
After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and no one does not want to live.
"Sir Ryan, you are really amazing. Fortunately, you are here, and we finally won!" Fisher was the first to fly over with the Griffin, looking at Ryan with admiration.
Just now, he was almost sprayed by the breath of corruption, and almost returned to the arms of the goddess.
In addition, after seeing Ryan's combat power many times, Griffin Knight Fisher is now a complete fan of Ryan.
"Sir Ryan, the lance you just hit, I'm afraid it's not the top level of mystery?!" Felke can see more things, and he is curious.
Let's not talk about how Ryan resisted the extremely powerful corruption force field. If it were him, even if he could resist the corruption infection in a short time, he couldn't shoot through the skull of the Corruption Dragon with one shot!
However, compared to the relaxed expressions on the faces of the Griffin Knights, Ryan's face on the Blood Feathered Hippogryph was still solemn. He stared at the falling Corrupted Dragon with full concentration.
Because he knew very well that the Corrupted Dragon Agnes was not dead.
The reason was simple, because the system did not prompt the experience value reward.
But fortunately, Ryan had already prepared a backup plan.
Following Ryan's line of sight, you can see that at this moment, another battle puppet with a hardened adamantium shell is lying on the fallen Corrupted Dragon.
In addition, although Ryan just activated the divine spell "Goddess's Protection" solidified in the second-level Goddess Medal, allowing him to completely resist the Corrupted Dragon's Corrupted Force Field, he can feel the rapid consumption of divine spell energy.
The opponent's Corrupted Force Field is indeed very difficult to deal with.
Although Ryan still has the weakening of the magicized silver armor and the top-level talent steel body, he still tries not to resist it if he can.
"Sir Ryan, what's wrong with you?" Felke immediately discovered Ryan's abnormality.
Logically, Lord Ryan, who killed the Corrupted Dragon, should be the happiest person, but at this moment, he found that Ryan's face was still solemn.
"I can feel that the Corrupted Dragon is not dead."
Ryan's voice was not heavy, but it made the originally joyful and celebratory atmosphere in the air quiet!
"Not really!"
"It's not dead like this?"
Many griffin knights were shocked and doubted.
But since the words were said by Ryan, who killed the Corrupted Dragon, most people still believed it and immediately became alert.
On the Imperial military airship, the atmosphere was relaxed when they saw the Corrupted Dragon being shot through the head and falling again.
However, at this time, a messenger suddenly reported:
"The branch has conveyed urgent intelligence."
"It's detailed information about the Corrupted Dragon."
"Oh? Read it!" Admiral Edward said.
At the same time, he was also speechless about this "late" intelligence. The information came after the battle was over.
"Agnes is a ferocious ancient dragon thousands of years ago, nicknamed 'Ancient Corruption'."
"The opponent's weakness is not the head. If the corrupt heart in the heart of the body is not destroyed, the corrupt dragon Agnes, with the continuous support of her followers, is almost immortal!"
"What!"
Whether it was Duke Victor, Admiral Edward, or Duke Munster, they just watched the corrupt dragon fall and thought the battle was over. Unexpectedly, such a change happened.
"Not good!"
"Ryan is in danger."
"Quick, send a message to Ryan, tell him to be careful!" Admiral Edward reacted instantly.
After all, the target of the corrupt dragon that recovered again must be Ryan!
"Yes, Admiral."
After the corrupt dragon Agnes fell again, as Ryan expected, thousands of corrupt followers once again acted as "power banks" to restore Agnes' injuries.
"Ang!!!"
The corrupt dragon Agnes flapped its wings again and rushed towards Ryan.
This time, the focus of the enemy's hatred was obviously Ryan.
"Sir Ryan, urgent intelligence, the weak spot of the Corrupted Dragon Agnes is in the heart of her chest. There is an energy source called the 'Heart of Corruption' there. Only after destroying it can we completely kill her."
A griffin knight flew over from the military airship and said quickly.
"Sir Ryan, we will go up and fight, and you look for an opportunity." Felke said with a serious face.
After several battles, Felke from the Imperial Capital was completely impressed by Ryan's strength.
If anyone had the chance to destroy the Corrupted Dragon's 'Heart of Corruption', it would be Ryan.
"It shouldn't be necessary. I have made arrangements."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ryan controlled the Blood Feather and swooped down.
This scene immediately stunned all the Griffin Knights!
Is Lord Ryan going to fight the Corrupted Dragon Agnes head-on?
You
know, Lord Ryan just relied on surprise to achieve the effect of severely damaging the Corrupted Dragon, but this time it was a head-on fight,
which made the Griffin Knights not very optimistic about Ryan.
The same situation happened on the Federation giant gunboat and the Imperial military airship.
Whether it was the beautiful woman Terena and a group of Federation officers, or Duke Victor and others, they were all shocked to see Ryan actually fighting the Corrupted Dragon Agnes.
"Isn't this too confident?"
"A successful sneak attack doesn't mean we can fight head-on!"
I saw two figures in the sky, one silver and one gray, one small and one large. One swooped down from above, and the other rushed up from below, drawing two straight lines, and they were about to collide with each other.
However, when they were dozens of meters away, suddenly, a dazzling fireball burst out from the root of the left wing of the Corrupted Dragon.
It was the second combat puppet that Ryan had arranged long ago, which started to self-destruct.
The sudden break of the dragon's wing caused the Corrupted Dragon to completely lose its balance.
The severe pain also made the Corrupted Dragon Agnes a little distracted for a moment.
"Shadow Step!"
"Armor-breaking Strike!"
Ryan kicked his feet, and his extremely fast speed under the blessing of the blood feather was once again blessed by the top mystery. In an instant, it seemed as if he had performed a flash, and suddenly appeared in front of the chest of the Corrupted Dragon Agnes.
"Puff!"
Ryan rushed into the chest of the corrupt dragon Agnes with his long lance, resisting the strong corrupt energy.
In an instant, the stench of the corrupt dragon's pus and blood, which was more stench than the snail noodles and stinky tofu in his previous life and comparable to canned herring, poured all over Ryan.
But Ryan had no time to care at this time, because at this moment, he sensed the location of the "corruption heart" that exuded tremendous energy.
"Chi!"
In an instant, he used his innate witchcraft "Metal Transfiguration" to turn the lance and deeply inserted it into the heart-like, still beating corrupt heart.
Suddenly, the corrupt dragon Agnes twitched all over, and then, the energy field chaos like a magnetic storm, with Agnes as the center, instantly spread to the surroundings, like the shock wave of a thermobaric bomb!
Ryan was also blown away more than ten meters by this invisible force energy, but was caught by the claws of the blood feather behind him.
At the same time, on the ground, all the mushroom people within a radius of several hundred meters fell down in an orderly manner, just like cutting wheat.
At this time, the system prompt also sounded:
[Ding! Detection of the host being baptized by the blood of the rotten dragon Agnes, and found a moderate level of absorbable dragon gene fragments, yes/no to absorb? 】
(Note: After the dragon gene fragment is absorbed, it can enhance the upper limit of the host's dragon blood concentration to a certain extent.)
"Hey, it's OK."
"The wording is different, 'moderate degree', 'a certain degree of improvement'!"
"I originally thought that the dragon blood of this corrupt dragon might not improve me much, after all, it has been corrupted for many years."
"But now it seems that a real dragon, even if it stinks, is still a real dragon! It is obviously much higher than the previous legendary land snakes, earth dragons and other dragon-born creatures."
Ryan immediately chose "Yes!"
Just like last time, Ryan felt that the part of his skin that was stained with the blood of the corrupt dragon Agnes suddenly rose with a boiling sensation, as if something had penetrated into the body.
In addition, the duration of the whole process also reached about three seconds.
"Is the effect so good?!"
Ryan glanced at the attribute panel and was overjoyed!
Because as he had expected, the effect of the dragon blood had changed significantly.
Thanks to the book friend 20231217005231137 for the reward!
