Chapter 381 The Third Form of Combat Power
Imperial Capital Tamriel.
On the second floor of the Drum Family Mansion, in a luxurious study.
"Is it today?" Duke Drum asked.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Master Greenwood and his men had already set out yesterday, and the action should be today." Butler Owen bowed slightly and answered respectfully.
"Well, is there any news from the Black Blade Organization?"
"It has been confirmed that they sent a killer king who arrived in the Gnom Province a day in advance."
Duke Drum nodded slightly and asked again: "As for Greenwood, was it Greg the Corpse Splitter who accompanied him?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Well, that should be no problem." Duke Drum nodded, with a bit of a soliloquy.
However, at this moment, he still had a little haze in his heart.
Because this morning, when he met with Admiral Donald, a senior member of the Sword Bearer Headquarters, again, the other party said something to him.
'If mediation is possible, it is better to reconcile with this Ryan. '
At first, he didn't understand what Donald meant.
Until the other party told him that the latest top-secret intelligence from the Sword Bearer showed that this Ryan had defeated the projection of a legendary god.
It was not that Donald was not well-informed, but the confidentiality level of this intelligence was too high. Only a few people in the entire Sword Bearer headquarters could read the full picture, and he was not one of them.
This immediately shocked Duke Drum!
Although it is a projection of a legendary god, in fact, among the legendary human strongmen, there are basically few who can compete with it.
Because even if it is a trace of projection, it also represents a ray of energy from the gods. Various extraordinary combat skills and witchcraft are all at hand, and various combinations have already reached the level of perfection.
And Ryan can defeat the projection of a god, which means that the other party is likely to have the combat power of the peak of legend.
Of course, it is also possible that Ryan used a powerful magic weapon or some other means to repel the other party.
Fortunately, Greg, one of the family consultants, the "Corpse Splitter", is also in this category after opening the giant rock combat body.
Coupled with the assassin king's ambush, even if Ryan's strength has reached the peak of legend, the combination of the two will still have a great chance of killing the opponent.
Duke Drum thought to himself.
In addition, Greenwood is not actually his nephew, but his illegitimate son, who is only nominally under his brother's name.
Moreover, he is the most talented one among all his illegitimate children.
Even Greenwood himself is not clear about this.
That's why he is a little worried.
-
At the same time.
In the square of the swamp town in the Gnom Province, there are bloody corpses everywhere, and it is a mess.
"Oh? Misunderstanding? Unfortunately, I don't want to hear your explanation. "
Ryan, in the form of the Dragon King, glanced at Greenwood in front of him with cold vertical pupils, and then a huge claw fell from the sky!
"Don't! Ryan, don't you want to know why Sam's group is so obsessed with that elf?" Greenwood, who was dying, thought of something in an instant and shouted excitedly.
Because from the ruthlessness of Ryan's attack just now, the other party would not care about his background in the Duke's family at all. If he threatened the other party with this, he would probably die faster.
Only by starting from the people the other party cares about, maybe he can still survive.
"Hu~~" The fierce wind hit Greenwood's face, and it was distorted at this moment!
Just when Greenwood was horrified, the ferocious claws stopped.
Ryan said, "Why?"
"Because for some unknown reason, the second prince likes elf women the most. In Tamriel, except for the elf ambassadors who dare not touch, there are people in other parts of the empire helping him collect elf women."
"Oh? Really?"
"Really! I swear! I swear!" As if seeing the hope of survival, Greenwood shouted hoarsely.
"Two years ago, in the province of Munster, Sam's group also captured another elf woman, and we also sent her to the second prince." Greenwood seemed to tell another secret to increase the credibility of his words.
"Who else knows about this? Can anyone prove what you said?" Ryan's eyes flickered.
He realized something in an instant.
"Yes, yes! Owen, the butler of our Durham family, knows." Hearing Ryan's question, Greenwood showed a happy expression and said hurriedly.
In his opinion, his life was saved.
At this moment, even other people thought so.
"Well, goodbye then." Ryan said calmly.
Goodbye?
What does goodbye mean?
While Greenwood was still thinking about what Ryan meant by this sentence, suddenly, he felt that the sky was dark!
"Boom!"
A huge deep pit suddenly appeared on the ground, and the shape happened to be a huge dragon claw style, and Greenwood, together with the metal cage, was instantly smashed into meat paste by the giant claw!
At this time, Ryan finally cancelled the form of the Dragon King and returned to his human body.
"You... You actually killed him, he is the most promising direct descendant of the Durham family!" Mia looked at this scene and said in horror.
"Do you know that the Durham family is a guardian family, and the other party..."
"So what?" Ryan glanced at Mia and said.
Chandler sat on the ground with a butt, scared to death.
Since Ryan dared to kill Greenwood directly, he would naturally dare to kill him.
"Sir Ryan, don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll tell you everything."
"The Durham family, where Greenwood belongs, has a close relationship with Admiral Donald, one of the top Sword Bearers. This time, your assigned mission was also caused by the other party."
"Oh? Anything else?" Ryan looked at Chandler calmly.
"Yes, yes, let me think about it, let me think about it!"
"Forget it, I don't want to hear anything else from a treacherous villain." Ryan shook his head and said.
He raised his right hand and his lips slightly moved.
"Multiple cutting nets!"
Suddenly, three huge nets emitting silver light suddenly appeared in front of him, and they flew rapidly towards Chandler's position!
"Don't, don't, ah!!"
As the shrill scream came, Chandler, with a terrified expression on his face, froze instantly. He and the metal cage were cut into tofu-sized pieces by the huge metal net in an instant.
At this time, when Claire saw the look in Ryan's eyes, she couldn't help but hold Beyonce's arm tightly, shaking her head like a rattle, trembling and saying:
"Captain, we have nothing to do with this matter! Really nothing to do!"
Woo woo woo! This new captain is too cruel!
She wants to quit the team!
Is it too late now?
Moreover, what did she just hear?
Either the secret of the prince or the admiral. Oh my God! I won't be silenced!
At this moment, Claire found that she missed her mother a little. She wanted to go back to her hometown in the county town.
"I remember, this kind of breath and form, you... Are you a royal heir!" At this time, Mia seemed to have thought of something, her eyes widened, and she looked at Ryan in fear.
But how could this be possible!
The intelligence on Ryan investigated by the Durham family clearly stated that the other party was just a young man from a small town. How could he become a royal heir in a flash?
This is like meeting a straw sandal weaver on the road in the previous life, and when you ask, it turns out to be Liu Huangshu, a relative of the Han Dynasty.
"What? Royal family?" Claire and Beyonce also looked at each other, shocked.
"Oh, have you heard anything?" Ryan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at Mia.
What the other party said still interested him. It was also the first time he heard someone say that there was a situation similar to his dragon transformation.
"Yes, I once saw a competition at the Imperial Royal Academy by chance. One of the parties was the offspring of a prince of the empire and had royal blood."
"However, the height of the other party after the blood transformation was about five meters, and the tail was also very short, and there were no wings. In addition, his dragon scales were different from yours, and the horns on his head were also different."
Hmm?
If you don't consider details such as the color of the dragon scales, wouldn't it be a replica of the first form of his dragon transformation - the dragon warrior form?
Interesting.
Imperial Academy?
Claire once studied at the Imperial Academy, so I can ask her about this news.
Thinking of Claire, Ryan suddenly remembered that Claire had told him that after her father, Count Habsburg, recovered from his injury, she would return to the Imperial Academy to study.
He didn't know whether Claire had come to the imperial capital Tamriel at this time, but he could go and ask after returning to the headquarters.
"Can I survive?" Mia finally couldn't bear the pressure and asked this question.
"Unfortunately, Mia, since you chose to attack me at that time, you should know the result." Ryan looked at her calmly and said.
"I believe you should have heard a saying that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself."
"Then I don't want to die like this, let me die beautifully, okay?" Mia smiled bitterly and pointed at Chandler who was cut into pieces.
"Okay!"
"Captain Ryan, you... you killed these three people directly, I'm afraid you will..." Beyonce hesitated.
"In theory, these three people ambushed you first, you can send them to the military court, and then..."
"Then? Then they will come out smoothly." Ryan shook his head and said.
Beyonce understood what Ryan meant in an instant, and sighed, saying nothing more.
Because of what she had seen and heard in the imperial capital over the past two years, she knew that Ryan was not talking nonsense.
The Dragun Empire has lasted for more than two thousand years, and the class has long been solidified, and many places are even more rotten. The connections of the top wealthy families in the imperial capital are like the roots of a thousand-year-old tree, deeply rooted in the flesh and blood of the empire.
"In addition, if you are worried about the revenge of the Drum family, I will wait for them to come." Ryan smiled and said.
At this time, the three members of the Blade Team, Langgel, who had been dumbfounded for a long time, came to their senses after a long time. Several people immediately ran over and said, "Sir Ryan, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I frightened you this time."
"No, it's okay, Lord Ryan, your strength is stronger than before. By the way, how should these be dealt with?" Langgel swallowed and pointed to the corpses on the ground.
Ryan looked at the ground.
The body of Greg the Corpse Ripper was not so bad, it was just torn in half, so it was relatively easy to clean up.
But the assassin king of the Black Knife Organization had been cut into pieces by him, and it would be quite troublesome to take it back as evidence.
"Uh, Lord Ryan, how about getting a bucket and putting all the pieces of meat back?" At this time, Frye suggested.
"If it is inconvenient for you to take it back to the headquarters, you can also leave it in the branch, and we will take good care of it."
"Okay." Ryan nodded.
While Langer and the other two were cleaning up the battlefield, Ryan came to the edge of the square alone and carefully experienced the feeling of just transforming into the third form, the 'Dragon King'.
At this moment, he rarely felt a little sore and weak all over his body.
Obviously, the consumption of physical strength in the third form is even higher than the second form, the 'Dragon General' form.
However, the improvement in combat power is also much higher.
When he killed Greg just now, he felt that he seemed to have used less than half of his strength, but even so, he easily tore apart this so-called legendary peak 'Corpse Splitter'.
Thinking of the feeling of the shackles in his body being broken free before, Ryan can basically be sure that in the third form, his combat power has entered the epic level.
In addition, after the wings flapped, the speed increased far beyond his expectations.
Unfortunately, he had never seen the battle scene of epic-level masters, and Ryan had never fought against epic-level masters head-on.
The only thing he could use to judge was the battle between the dragon knight Menia, who was named the "Red Queen", and the three-headed sea dragon with the magic tail.
But at that time, he was more than a hundred miles away. Judging from the energy fluctuations, even if he transformed into the third form, it seemed that there was still a certain gap between the two.
But the problem is that Her Highness Menia, the "Red Queen", is not the bottom of the epic-level masters.
Shaking his head slightly, Ryan decided not to think about these things for the time being, and turned to check the previous battle prompts:
[Congratulations, you defeated the powerful enemy and obtained 31 gold skill points! ]
[Congratulations, your will (hidden) attribute has been improved! ]
[Congratulations, your King of Thousand Blades (Epic) occupation level has been improved! 】
With his successive kills of Venom Dragon, King of Killers and Greg the Corpse Ripper, the King of Thousand Blades (Epic) occupation level successfully entered lv13, allowing Ryan to gain 1 attribute point and 1 skill point.
Now his total remaining attribute points are 13 points, and the remaining skill points are 6 points.
As for the gold skill points, after consuming 8 points last time, there are still 46 points left. This time, another 31 points were earned, so at this moment, it has reached 77 points, setting a new record.
However, since Ryan already knows that the gold skill points can be used to deduce witchcraft killing moves, it is not too much at all.
After all, it took 28 points to deduce and perfect the second-level witchcraft killing moves before. It is conceivable how much it will cost if it is the third-level witchcraft.
After returning to Nome City that day, after having dinner with the Blade Squad and reminiscing about the past, Ryan took Claire and Beyonce back to the Sword Bearer headquarters.
Although they had only experienced a battle, the two women were extremely impressed by Ryan.
A day and a half later.
After arriving at the Sword Bearer Headquarters in the Imperial Capital by airship, Ryan naturally had to submit the mission first, and at the same time, he had to state the reasons for the death of his two team members.
Although it was the other party who attacked secretly, after all, someone died, so the process still had to be followed.
As soon as he arrived at the mission hall, Ryan went straight to Anthony's office.
Seeing someone coming in without knocking, Anthony was about to scold him, but the next second, his eyes widened, and he looked at the person with a shocked expression, and said:
"Sir Ray Ryan, why are you back?"
"Hehe, Sir Anthony, shouldn't I be back?" Ryan couldn't help but look at the fat man in front of him with a smile, and said.
"No, no, I mean, have you completed your mission?"
"Do you mean killing the Venom Dragon? Of course, by the way, I also killed a few people who deliberately murdered me."
"Murder, someone actually dared to murder you?" Anthony's face turned pale and said in a panic.
"Well, I'm also very curious, why the other party is so clear about my mission location and target. It seems that someone in the Sword Holder headquarters must have leaked my mission situation."
Ryan said, staring at Anthony.
Anthony's face turned pale, and he quickly took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, saying: "This... shouldn't be the case, not the case."
"By the way, I killed two people who attacked me, namely Chandler, the Magic Iron Sword Holder, and Mia, the Mithril Sword Holder."
"What?! Sir Ryan, did you... did you kill both people in your team directly?" Anthony, who heard the news, suddenly "plopped" and slid from his seat to the ground.
Obviously scared!
The look in his eyes when he looked at Ryan had changed!
The young man in front of him who looked harmless when he smiled was actually a big ruthless man! He
actually killed people directly. You
have to know that Chandler is not a cat or a dog, he is the second son of the powerful marquis of the imperial capital.
"Well, as the captain of the Sword Bearers, I think I have the right, don't I?"
"But even if that's the case, you shouldn't have killed them directly. The two of them attacked you secretly, and the headquarters will definitely investigate. Sir Ryan, you are too reckless."
"Besides, normally, your strength is above theirs, you can just imprison them and let the headquarters and the military court judge them."
"Hehe, I haven't finished yet. At that time, there were other people besieging me, so, you know, I accidentally killed them all." Ryan smiled.
"Are there others?" Anthony said with horror.
"Sir Anthony, please report it. This matter is no longer something you can handle." Ryan waved his hand and said.
Because he found that it was meaningless to cause trouble to Anthony's level.
"It's true that my authority is limited. Please wait
a moment. I'll report it right away." After saying that, Anthony, who had a spherical figure, ran out of the office like a fly. Ryan naturally considered whether to give Greenwood, Mia, Chandler and others a more decent explanation, for example, several people died in the battle with the venom dragon. In
this way, it can still save some face.
But after thinking about it, Ryan rejected this idea.
After all, this world has mysterious professions such as fortune tellers and astrologers. If he tells a white lie to save some face for them, it is likely to shoot himself in the foot.
Instead of this, let him tear off this last fig leaf completely.
Half an hour later, Ryan was invited to a meeting room.
There were more people coming this time, and as for Anthony, he didn't even have the qualifications to participate. The
leader was an old man who was intimidating without anger. On his shoulder badge, there was a pair of golden branches and leaves, plus four suns, which meant that the other party was a general of the Dragun Empire, and his rank was even higher than that of an admiral.
If Ryan remembered correctly, the other party should be General Augustus, who was in charge of the daily work of the Sword Bearer Headquarters, and his status was second only to Marshal Alfred.
Even in the entire empire, the other party was a top figure.
Next to him were two imperial admirals, and two major generals, who were holding notebooks and seemed to have fallen to the position of clerks.
Obviously, Ryan's incident had completely alarmed the top leaders of the Sword Bearer Headquarters.
"Sir Ryan, this is General Augustus, this is Admiral Donald, and this..."
"Now you can tell us what happened at that time." The capable female major general sitting at the edge said.
"Okay!" Ryan nodded, and then he began to tell the whole story.
A few minutes later.
A male major general sitting at the edge suddenly interrupted Ryan's story and said in a deep voice:
"Wait, Lord Ryan, you just said that Mithril-level swordsman Mia and Magic Iron-level swordsman Chandler suddenly cast witchcraft on you and attacked you when you were fighting the Venom Dragon?"
"Excuse me, is there any evidence to prove this?"
"Yes, the other two members of my team can prove this, and the Blade Squad of the Swordsman Branch of the Gnom Province can also prove this." Ryan glanced at the other party and said.
"Please continue, Lord Ryan."
After another ten minutes, when Ryan talked about his sudden attack by the "King of Killers" of the Black Knife Organization, everyone present, except General Augustus, who remained calm, showed surprise on their faces.
"Lord Ryan, the person you just said who assassinated you, is he the "King of Killers" of the Black Knife Organization?" The female major general asked doubtfully.
"Well, the bodies and weapons of the other party are now kept in the Sword Bearer branch of the Gnom Province. I think it is not difficult for the headquarters to investigate the identity of the other party?"
"If there are bodies and special weapons, it should not be difficult." The female major general nodded.
When Ryan told that Greenwood ordered Greg to attack him and was killed by him, the admiral named Donald could no longer hold back and said:
"You just said that you killed the Venom Dragon first, then the King of Assassins of the Black Knife Organization, and finally this 'Corpse Splitter' Greg."
"You know, two of these three are at the peak of legends. As for the King of Assassins, dealing with his attack is not much easier than facing a peak legend. It is not common sense that you can defeat these three people in a row."
"In addition, if you can really kill the above three people, then Greenwood's strength is very different from yours, and there is no reason why you can't hold back."
"I think you need a more detailed and reasonable explanation." Donald said in a deep voice.
"Haha, there's nothing I can do. Who told me that my first assignment as a new swordsman is to kill the venom dragon?"
"I was so excited that I accidentally used too much force and killed Greenwood." Ryan shrugged and smiled.
Ryan naturally had no good feelings towards Admiral Donald, who was likely to have manipulated his assignment behind the scenes.
"You" Obviously, Admiral Donald was very dissatisfied with Ryan's attitude.
In particular, Ryan's words were suggestive, which made Donald have a bad feeling in his heart.
Could it be that
this unruly young man in front of him knew something.
