Chapter 416: Fusion
After thinking about it, Barnes decided to at least go down to check the situation.
On the one hand, he felt that if he missed this opportunity, he would miss it.
If he didn't seize the opportunity, he would regret it.
On the other hand, Barnes thought that his strength should be on par with Ryan. Even if he couldn't defeat the other party, the other party would definitely not be able to defeat him.
In terms of safety, he thought it was not a big problem.
Finally, there was one more point.
If he went to the valley below now, Reagan and Bronson would have to walk less, that is, the time for the three of them to meet up could be advanced.
So, Barnes put away the things in his hand, and carried the box of the device for collecting blood essence, and quickly moved towards the valley where the battle wave just came from.
At the same time.
Imperial Capital Tamriel.
Astrologer's Platform, in the command hall on the second floor.
"Have you contacted?" General Augustus asked immediately after seeing Tatia coming back from the room next to him.
Tatia shook her head, her pretty face solemn, and said:
"Sorry, General Augustus, the contact personnel have been in non-stop contact, but due to energy interference, fifteen minutes have passed, and we still haven't been able to contact any of the three teams." "
In addition, the Imperial Guards just sent news that they are fighting fiercely with cultists at multiple points in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital. Although the other side is very determined to resist, they have gradually narrowed the encirclement and wiped out most of them."
"There is news from the royal family. Five minutes ago, Her Royal Highness the Red Queen Menia went to deal with the Falling Star Lake in person."
Hearing the news that Tatia summarized one after another, including Marshal Alfred, everyone nodded to show that they knew.
Since the safety of the Imperial Capital is temporarily safe, the focus now is naturally on the secret realm.
This has put more pressure on everyone.
"Sir Dallion, has the energy disturbance weakened now? Can you check the situation in the secret realm?" Marshal Alfred asked with his head tilted.
The first priority at the moment is to find out the situation in the secret realm as soon as possible.
Upon hearing this, Dallion immediately recited a spell silently. As a colorful witchcraft aura lingered around him, the next second, the great astrologer Dallion shook his head and said:
"The interference is still there, but it has calmed down a lot. It is estimated that in a few minutes, we can check the situation in the secret realm. However, the scene we check at that time may not be very stable."
"It's good to be able to check it." Hearing Dallion's words, Alfred's face was slightly better.
After all, as a commander, if you don't even know the situation in the secret realm, how can you command?
In the secret realm of Dragon Valley, in the valley on the west side of the Flame Mountain.
Ryan and the sisters Erida and Erida are still fighting.
"Sister, be careful!"
After Ryan's first stage transformation, his speed and strength increased by several times. With the help of the dust after the explosion, a huge figure of five meters high drew an arc and quickly came to a position seven or eight meters behind Erida.
The human form has the human form's fighting method, and after transforming into a dragon man, there is naturally a dragon man's fighting method!
At this moment, Ryan was running like a bulldozer. Behind the powerful dragon man's body, a strong air wave formed after breaking through the air, rolling up a soil dragon that was dozens of meters long.
As for the trees on both sides of him, they fell down like rice being cut.
The momentum was so fierce that the hair on Ereda's neck stood up.
It was as if the whole person was stared at by a giant beast, and the alarm bells in her heart immediately rang!
"Ang!!!"
Just as Ereda was about to cast a spell to attack, a deafening roar burst out from Ryan's mouth, and several circles of circular air waves swept around, which immediately made Ereda stunned.
Before she could fully come to her senses, she saw a huge dragon claw as big as a millstone slamming into her lower abdomen!
"Pop! Pop!"
The double-layer witchcraft defense on the surface of her body burst instantly like a bubble, but fortunately, with these two protective witchcraft blocks, she barely reacted, tightened her abdomen and tightened her muscles.
"Bang!"
The moment she was hit!
Erida was like a cannonball. Her light body was blown back and knocked down seven or eight trees that two people could hug together. Blood was spilled all over the place!
But she hadn't landed yet.
The strong dragon man's body had appeared in front of her again, swinging his dragon claws at her!
For a moment, Erida was shocked!
"How could he be so strong!"
If she was hit, Erida was sure that she would become a pile of meat on the spot!
"Sister!"
Sister Erida screamed not far away, and at the same time, she performed the twin displacement again.
As the two exchanged positions, sister Erida suddenly appeared in front of Ryan, crossed her hands with the battle blades to block her chest, and tried her best to resist Ryan's dragon claws!
"Dang!!!"
Although Erida was good at speed and agility, strength was not her strong point, and she was inferior to Ryan.
At this moment, Ryan transformed into a dragon warrior, and his strength increased several times. The difference between the two was even greater. Alida was beaten so hard that half of her body sank into the ground.
At this moment, her arms were bent precariously, and she maintained a blocking posture, but her eyes were white and her head was buzzing.
She felt that her bones were falling apart, and her whole body was sore and weak, and she couldn't use any strength!
Alida knew that she would definitely not be able to block the second blow!
The only way was that move!
Although once used, it will seriously damage the vitality and the subsequent tasks may not be able to be carried out, but at this moment, there is no better choice.
"Sister, merge!!"
In an instant, Alida's eyes turned into a pair of vertical pupils, and dense and fine scales appeared on the surface of her skin. At the same time, a red mist lingered and quickly spread around her body.
Just as Ryan's dragon claw chopped down again, in an instant, the elder sister Alida suddenly appeared beside the younger sister Alida.
The bodies of the two began to merge strangely, and the red mist around them formed a high-intensity energy shield!
With a "bang!", Ryan's dragon claw hit was in vain, as if it hit a very elastic ball, and the dragon claw was bounced away.
Huh?
This surprised Ryan a little!
But soon, Ryan made a decision. He did not activate the second form, but used the core skill of the epic class 'King of Thousand Blades', weakness control!
Instantly, a three-dimensional image of the mist energy shields of the two women appeared in his eyes. He ignored the green and yellow dots and found two small red dots wandering on the surface of the shields.
"This is the weakness!"
The sharp dragon claws suddenly accelerated and stabbed into the shield at the red dot!
"Chi!!!"
The dragon claws broke into the shield and broke the two sisters who had just merged into half.
"Bang!!!"
The two of them were like being hit by a steam engine and fell directly on the ground more than ten meters away. A meteorite crater was formed in an instant, and the ground around them cracked!
At this moment, there was a blood hole as big as a bowl in the abdomen of the two women, which was injured by Ryan's dragon finger. At the same time, they kept vomiting blood.
"Puff~Puff~"
The two of them stared at Ryan with wide eyes and looked at him with an expression of inexplicable horror!
"How could the energy shield be broken!"
"This is an energy shield with a defense power close to the epic level!"
When they merged, they were protected by a red mist energy shield similar to the domineering effect. The surface of the body would automatically linger with a super strong energy protection. It had never been broken in the previous battle.
But Ryan had the weakness control of the melee type's 'divine skills', and after transforming into a dragon warrior, his strength was too great.
With the combination of the two, the domineering effect of the Ereda sisters was directly broken!
The combined skills were naturally interrupted, which caused the two to suffer backlash and their bodies were severely injured.
When Barnes came nearby, he witnessed this scene.
"Hiss~"
Looking at the scene around him that was like a heavy artillery plowing the land, it was not difficult for Barnes to imagine how fierce the battle was just now!
Especially the five-meter-tall unknown dragon man in front, which showed that his previous guess was correct.
The Ryan in front of him did have the blood of a dragon.
Moreover, judging from the physical characteristics of the other party's dragon man at this moment, it was not the appearance of the traditional five-color giant dragon blood after transformation.
"No wonder the second prince wants the essence of this Ryan's blood!"
"Why did the sculptor Harold die at the hands of this Ryan? That's why."
In an instant, Barnes thought he had figured out a lot.
"Hey, are these two people from the Secret Snake Cult?"
"How did they get into the secret realm?"
When Barnes turned his eyes to the two women, he immediately discovered the red Ouroboros mark on their foreheads. Combined with that special aura, he immediately confirmed the identities of the two women.
Okay! This put Barnes in a dilemma again.
Should he take action now while Ryan has just finished his transformation and is exhausted?
Or should he wait until Ryan kills the two women before he takes action?
The former would be suspected of colluding with the enemy. After all, he and Ryan are both from the official departments of the empire. Taking action at this time would easily lead to misunderstandings.
The latter would be stupid.
But soon, Barnes figured it out.
Since it's all about killing, why not kill Ryan first and then the two women?
If no one is alive, who would know that he killed Ryan?
And he can also get the credit for killing the cult!
Barnes, who had made up his mind, put the blood essence collector aside. At the same time, he looked at the positions of the other two people, Reagan and Bronson, on the positioning crystal, and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Because the two were very close to this place, they should be able to meet him in about three to five minutes.
"That's even more no problem!"
Just as Ryan regained his human form and walked forward to interrogate the two women about what their cult was planning, suddenly, he seemed to have realized something, turned his head and looked to the west, and said:
"Come out, don't hide."
"Sir Ryan, what a coincidence!" Barnes walked out with a smile on his face.
"Sir Barnes, it's really a coincidence." Ryan said while sensing the surroundings.
However, he did not find any traces of Reagan and Bronson, the two people who participated in the Dragon Knight preliminary test with Barnes last time.
"Well, these two people are the cultists of the Secret Snake Cult, right? They seem to be very strong. Lord Ryan is really strong." Barnes exclaimed.
"Indeed, they are the cultists of the Secret Snake Cult."
"Lord Ryan, I have an unwelcome request."
As Barnes spoke, he stood between Ryan and the two women, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Oh? Lord Barnes, please tell me?" Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at Barnes, saying.
"I need some of Lord Ryan's blood essence. The dragon blood in your body is very rare. I think it is very meaningful for all of us who have dragon blood."
"I hope Lord Ryan can consider the overall situation and make some sacrifices."
"Of course, if there are research results, you, as a contributor, will enjoy all the research results for free."
Since Barnes thought he had the advantage, he spoke a little directly.
Hmm?
At this moment, the sisters Erida and Elida, who were lying on the ground and struggling to get up, froze immediately after hearing Barnes' words.
The two sisters looked at each other, wondering if they were hallucinating because they were injured too badly just now?
What was going on?
They knew too well that blood essence was something that could not be given away casually!
Even if it was just a drop, it was extremely precious, let alone a part?
If a part of the blood essence was given away, I am afraid that the strength of a peak legendary powerhouse would have to fall to the level of entering the legendary level, or even to the quasi-legendary level!
Are these two people enemies? !
"Sir Barnes, perhaps we can exchange it. Why don't you give me your blood essence, and when I get the results of my research, I will share it with you, how about it?"
"That's a pity, Sir Ryan, it seems that I have to take it myself!" Barnes shook his head and said.
Hearing Barnes' words, Ryan couldn't help laughing and said:
"Sir Barnes, this is what I want to say as well."
At the same time.
Imperial Capital Tamriel.
In the command hall on the second floor of the Astrologer Platform.
The great astrologer Dallion suddenly relaxed his frown and said, "Sir Alfred, perhaps I can try to check the secret realm."
"Oh? That's great." Alfred was naturally delighted when he heard it.
Dallion immediately chanted a spell and cast a spell, and a rich colorful witchcraft aura gathered around him.
As Dallion raised his hand and pointed in front of him, a scene suddenly appeared on the oval stone platform of nearly ten square meters in the center of the hall.
It was the scene happening somewhere in the secret realm of Dragon Valley at this moment.
Seeing this, General Augustus, Major General Tatia and several staff officers on the side immediately gathered with joy on their faces.
At this time, the picture showed a middle-aged man holding a two-handed sword, beheading a young green dragon infected by void energy.
The angle, strength and speed of his attack revealed a taste of hard work.
"Hey, this person is very strong." Augustus said with surprise.
"This is Lambert, the disciple of the Tide Sword Saint, who has the strength of a quasi-Sword Saint." Major General Tatia introduced skillfully.
As the head of the intelligence hall of the Sword Bearer Headquarters, Tatia naturally knows all the famous legendary strongmen in the empire.
"This person should not be a mission member, right?"
"No. The other party has a close relationship with the Drum family. This time, he was not going to participate in the selection of the Dragon Knight Reserve. It is said that he was invited by the Drum family."
After thinking for a while, Tatia organized her words and answered.
"Hmm? Does Ryan know?" Augustus naturally understood what Tatia meant and said in a deep voice.
"I know."
Marshal Alfred nodded after listening to it, but did not say anything.
At this time, the picture on the circular stone platform turned again, showing two people who were fighting fiercely.
One of the two people was wearing a military uniform, holding a box in his left hand and a short stick in his right hand, and was performing the earth-based witchcraft ground spike technique to attack the other side.
The man opposite him was wearing a black robe and a hood. His face could not be seen clearly, but he was surrounded by several streams of blood-colored water, and his whole body exuded a bloody and evil smell.
The other party dodged the attack of the ground spike technique with a flash of his body, and at the same time, he raised his hand and pointed, and one after another blood-colored energy cones rotated at high speed and bombarded the people in military uniforms.
The uniformed personnel of the military were forced to dodge in a slightly embarrassed manner.
"No, this is the captain of the military team, Baldwin. The other party encountered a cultist. Well, the other party should be a legendary strongman of the limb-removing cult!"
Tatia recognized her own personnel at first sight. At the same time, she also identified the origin of the enemy from the evil magic he cast.
"Baldwin is at a disadvantage, and the rift closer is still in his hand. Tatia, quickly check who else is nearby among the operatives, and send someone to support!"
Augustus saw Baldwin dodge one after another, knowing that the situation might be bad, and immediately gave an order.
"I'll check it out right away, sir."
"Hey, Lord Ryan is not far away. It will take about five minutes to get there. Is that right?"
After a quick check, Tatia was surprised to find that the person closest to Baldwin was Ryan. She couldn't help but said in surprise.
"Contact Ryan and ask him to go there immediately. The key is to ensure the safety of the rift closer." Hearing that Ryan was nearby, Augustus's expression relaxed, as if he was relieved, and said.
"Yes, sir, I will contact Lord Ryan immediately." Tatia also smiled and nodded.
"Sir Ryan, Sir Ryan, this is Tatia, please reply!" Tatia called out, holding a thin sheet.
After a few seconds, there was no response.
Called again, still no response.
"Hmm? Didn't the energy interference around the secret realm calm down?"
"Why can't we contact you? It shouldn't be."
General Augustus frowned and whispered.
"Sir Dallion, can you cut the screen to the scene of this member?" Marshal Alfred seemed to have thought of something, pointed to the bright spot on the wall on the other side of the hall, representing Ryan, and asked.
"Of course." The great astrologer Dallion nodded, and with a wave of his hand.
The picture on the oval stone platform changed again.
But this time, everyone was stunned!
Because in the picture at this moment, two women who were obviously cultists were lying on the ground, as if they had just been defeated.
But two people who were obviously our own people were fighting.
No wonder, Tatia called continuously just now, but Ryan didn't respond.
Because even if there is information, the communication device will only vibrate slightly, and will not make a direct sound. In the fierce battle, naturally no one will pay attention to it.
"Who is this person?" Augustus said with a little anger.
"It's Barnes! A member of the special department of the Empire, the Earthshaker Headquarters. He has the blood of a red dragon
. After the dragon man transformation, his strength is at the peak level of legend." "The other party has extremely rich combat experience. In more than ten years, he has completed dozens of difficult tasks for the Earthshaker." Tatia reported again skillfully.
"Is that so? Admiral Gobert?" Augustus immediately looked at an old man wearing the uniform of an army general.
The old man's forehead was sweating, and he nodded and said:
"Major General Tatia is right. The other party is a member of the Earthshaker Headquarters. Before this mission, I contacted Barnes, but he declined. He said he would not participate in this selection."
"But later, the other party decided to participate the day before the selection deadline, but at that time, we had already selected the personnel."
"The question is, why did this Barnes conflict with Lord Ryan?" Augustus asked in confusion.
"This." Admiral Gobert's face turned red, and he didn't know how to explain this problem for a while.
"Uh, sir, according to our intelligence, the other party seems to have joined the secret organization Dragon Scale Brotherhood, and some time ago, it is said that the Dragon Scale Brotherhood also recruited Lord Ryan." Tatia blinked her beautiful eyes and said at the right time.
"Huh?" Marshal Alfred and Augustus couldn't help but look at each other, but they tacitly didn't say anything more.
Obviously, both of them knew what kind of organization this Dragon Scale Brotherhood was, and they also thought of the person behind the Dragon Scale Brotherhood.
But even if it was the Dragon Scale Brotherhood, they had never heard that the other party had any connection with the cult organization.
"Oh no, both of them have transformed!" Tatia exclaimed.
In the picture at this time, Ryan and Barnes suddenly transformed into dragon people.
After the transformation, Barnes' body shape was similar to Ryan, but the dragon horns on his forehead and the color of the dragon scales on his body were quite different. One was red and the other was dark gray, and they immediately started fighting.
Although the two people in dragon form did not use weapons, their strong limbs and sharp dragon claws were no different from holding a sharp blade.
Ryan's body was covered with steel armor, and Barnes' body was also rippling with red witchcraft aura. This was one of his innate abilities after transformation, the flame armor.
"Bang!"
Barnes's claw attack from top to bottom was blocked by Ryan's elbow. A wave of red mixed with silver-gray air burst out from the collision point between the two.
The collision sounded like a huge bell!
An expert can tell whether it is good or not with just one move.
Barnes's face changed immediately after just one attack!
"How can the opponent's dragon form be so powerful! It is even stronger than the power of the black dragon blood owner after transformation!"
Barnes can be sure that Ryan in front of him is also only in the first stage of transformation.
But Ryan just took his attack, his arm did not move at all, and his claw attack was not only shaken away, but his palm was also numb. The opponent's strength is obviously higher than his.
However, Barnes was not afraid, but rather excited!
Not to mention that Reagan and Bronson were about to arrive here, he also had his own trump card, so he was not afraid of Ryan.
