Chapter 424 Secret Moves
[Mutated Dragon Man's Fourth Form (Dragon Beast Form): After activation, the body size will be based on the third form, and part of the body will be further transformed into a giant dragon. Immune to intermediate-level toxins and disease effects, immune to witchcraft damage below 120 degrees. ]
(Note: Duration is positively correlated with blood concentration and physique.)
"Dragon Beast Form?" Seeing these four words, Ryan couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.
"This transformation is becoming less and less human. It used to be a dragon man, at least it can barely be considered a human"
"But now, the system uses dragon beast to describe it?" Ryan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
However, when Ryan saw the sentence in the system description 'Immune to witchcraft damage below 120 degrees', he was more happy than worried.
"Before, I was immune to 80 degrees, but now it's 120 degrees, which means that I should be immune to all kinds of witchcraft below level 3."
"Forget it, whether it's a human or an animal, in this world, improving combat power is the most important thing."
"Like the great man said, no matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is one that can catch mice."
Feeling the changes inside his body, although Ryan wanted to try out the new form - the dragon beast form, he also knew that the current Dragon Valley Secret Realm might not even be able to withstand his third form, let alone the fourth form.
It is estimated that once he transforms, he will be "squeezed" out of the secret realm.
"My lord, the bodies have been dealt with." At this time, Ereda on the side walked over slowly with a smile and reported.
"Well, you've worked hard." Ryan smiled and said.
"By the way, Mr. Baldwin, let's go to the third point immediately and install the rift closer now?" Ryan turned around and said to Baldwin, the captain of the army next to him.
"Of course, Mr. Ryan, it's over there, about 30 kilometers from here." Baldwin pointed to the east and said.
Ryan nodded.
He knew the specific location of the third point, which was in the southeast of the Flame Mountain.
If they rushed there from here, it would take about 25 minutes at their speed.
Then, a group of four people plus two golems rushed to the second point.
About ten minutes after Ryan and his group left.
Suddenly, Lambert, wearing a simple linen coat and carrying a big sword on his back, came to the scene.
He first looked around for traces of battle, then stopped to think for a moment, and then his eyes stayed on the four bodies on the ground that were burned to charcoal by the Dark Erosion.
"Yes, it is the residual energy of metal witchcraft."
"But these three people seem to be from the Empire. How come they are in conflict with Ryan?"
"Moreover, do these people have a deep hatred with Ryan? Why are the bodies corroded by shadow witchcraft?" Lambert looked puzzled and thought to himself.
Lambert could naturally see that among the remains of the four bodies, one was a cult strongman, because he could smell the special smell even if the body had been destroyed.
The other three should be the people who participated in the re-examination.
This is a bit interesting.
In addition, strangely, the injuries on the four people all have traces of metal witchcraft, which means that the four opponents have fought with Ryan.
Although there are also traces of shadow witchcraft, this only means that either Ryan has helpers or Ryan also masters some shadow witchcraft.
For a while, Lambert was a little confused about some of these questions.
However, he closed his eyes and slightly sensed the degree of residual energy. At the same time, he bent down and touched the temperature of the ground with his fingers.
"It's about ten to fifteen minutes before they leave."
"Besides, there are two more golems."
"The preparations are very thorough." Lambert thought as he looked at the huge and obvious oval footprints on the ground.
After thinking for a while, Lambert looked in the direction where Ryan and his party left, and immediately pointed his toes, and the whole person quickly chased after them like an arrow from a bow.
After Ryan and his party cleaned up a few scattered violent species that blocked the road, they successfully arrived at the third point.
"Sir Ryan, it's okay, it's here." Captain Baldwin looked at the thin sheet in his hand, turned his head and said to Ryan with a smile.
"Yes."
"Do you need my help?" Ryan nodded and said.
"No, leave the rest to me. It doesn't take too much mental energy to activate the rift closer." The army captain Baldwin waved his hands and said.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Sir Baldwin next." Ryan smiled slightly and said.
"No trouble, thanks to your help, Mr. Ryan."
Baldwin said as he quickly opened the box containing the rift closer.
He took out a rectangular device that looked like a small motor.
At the same time, Baldwin took out a crystal that emitted strong energy fluctuations from the box and put it in.
As the crystal was installed, suddenly, a ring of light flashed from the rift closer, and then it began to float slowly.
After a few seconds, the rift closer seemed to have cut into another space and began to become translucent.
This scene seemed to be somewhat similar to the "void" state of the void beast before, which also became translucent, like jelly.
No, it should be said that it was more completely virtual, because at this moment, the device had become completely transparent
. The next second, the device completely disappeared in mid-air.
Hmm?
Seeing this scene, Ryan raised his eyebrows slightly.
He sensed it carefully again, and Ryan could confirm that this rift closer was not releasing some kind of shielding magic array, but really disappeared.
Disappeared in this space.
"No wonder, Tatia didn't mention what happened after the setting was completed. It turned out that it was out of the secret space."
"No, it shouldn't be completely out of it, it seems to have moved to the secret interlayer."
Ryan felt something and thought to himself.
Seeing this scene, the military captain Baldwin was also greatly relieved and sighed: "The most important task is finally completed!"
"Sir Ryan, do you think you can report to the command hall?"
Hearing Baldwin's words, Ryan wanted to ask Captain Baldwin why you didn't report, but soon he understood.
The other party took the initiative to show goodwill and said that he didn't mean to steal the credit.
After thinking about it, Ryan nodded and said, "Okay!"
Ryan took out the thin sheet and said, "Command Hall, I am Ryan. Captain Baldwin of the military and I have completed the setting of the rift closer at the third point."
Huh?
Hearing Ryan's words, Baldwin couldn't help but look up at Ryan, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He didn't expect Ryan to say that.
You know, although he was the one who brought the rift closer into the secret realm, in fact, the second half of the escort mission was mainly completed by Ryan.
In fact, if Ryan hadn't come to support, not only would the rift closer fall into the hands of the cult, but he himself would have died long ago.
Ryan's statement was almost to give him half of the credit for setting up the rift closer.
This made Baldwin sigh in his heart: "He is strong and considerate of others' feelings. The most important thing is that he is still so young. It's unbelievable!"
The Ereda sisters on the side also looked at each other at this time, and then smiled.
They walked together all the way, and naturally knew that their master Ryan had made great efforts to escort this box.
It is naturally a good thing to follow such a humble master.
After a few seconds, a reply came from the thin sheet.
Only the low voice of General Augustus came from it: "Received. Thank you for your hard work."
"You are polite. This is what we should do." Ryan said.
After the call ended, Ryan turned to Baldwin and smiled, "Now that the setup is complete, I need to go to the encirclement point now, Captain Baldwin, then you..."
Ryan paused and looked at Baldwin.
Because whether to let Baldwin, who was still injured, stay here or take him with him, there are risks.
In this case, Ryan thought it would be better to give the choice to the other party.
"Sir Ryan, I..."
Just as Baldwin was about to say something, Ryan's face suddenly became serious and turned to look at the forest in the northwest.
Baldwin and the Ereda sisters saw this and immediately felt a chill in their hearts. They
immediately followed Ryan's line of sight. A tall figure carrying a big sword slowly emerged in the forest.
As the other party approached, it was Lambert in a simple linen coat.
"It's you, Sir Ryan. It took me a long time to find you."
"Huh? There are companions." Lambert looked around Ryan and the other four and smiled.
"Hello, Sir Lambert."
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Ryan nodded in greeting.
"Sir Ryan, I want to compete with you." Lambert said straight to the point.
Ryan was not surprised by Lambert's answer.
"Oh? Just a simple competition?" Ryan asked back.
"Yes, it's just a competition, but Sir Ryan is very strong, I can't hold back, so I suggest that during the competition, no matter life or death!"
Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help laughing.
A competition of life and death, isn't that a duel?
The other party went around in such a big circle, the real purpose is to evade responsibility.
This Lambert is not stupid. Knowing that his current identity is the Imperial Gold-level Sword Bearer, it is obviously not wise to take action directly, so he came up with such a trick.
"Sir Lambert, do you know that Sir Ryan is responsible for an important mission of the Empire. Your current behavior will become a sinner in the history of the Empire." Baldwin, the captain of the army next to him, scolded.
"Oh? Who are you? You look strong, but you are injured, you will not be my opponent." Lambert first glanced at Baldwin, then shook his head and said.
"You! I'm Baldwin from the military!" Baldwin was so angry that his face turned red.
"Baldwin? I've heard of you. It seems that what you said should be true." Lambert looked at Baldwin, then looked at Ryan, and said.
"In this case, Sir Baldwin, if I win, I promise that I will complete Sir Ryan's unfinished mission for him."
"Because if I win, doesn't it prove that I am stronger. It also means that I am more suitable than Sir Ryan to complete the empire's mission, right?"
"You" Baldwin was speechless for a moment.
Because it can't be said that what Lambert said is unreasonable. If he wins, it will naturally prove that his strength is stronger than Ryan. Then if he performs the original Ryan's mission, the success rate will naturally be higher.
Logically speaking, there is nothing wrong.
When the two girls, Erida, heard what each other said, they looked at each other and communicated in their minds:
"Sister, this man is so arrogant, I plan to test his level first."
"Okay! But you have to be careful, the other party is very strong."
After the two girls discussed it, Erida moved slightly, but Lambert noticed it immediately. He glanced at Erida and said to Ryan with a smile:
"Sir Ryan, I don't mind if you come together."
Ryan waved his hand and said, "I'm enough to deal with you."
"Erida, come back."
This made Erida glare at Lambert fiercely, but of course she had to listen to Ryan's words. She flashed and returned to her sister Erida again.
"Well, Lord Ryan, you really didn't disappoint me."
Seeing this scene, Lambert took a step forward, took the initiative to draw the big sword behind him, bowed slightly, and said:
"The two-handed big sword is called 'Chopping Waves', Lord Ryan, please teach me!"
"The big sword that has just transformed has no name. I'm in a hurry, let's hurry up." Ryan also transformed into a hardened fine gold big sword and said.
Ryan's attitude seemed to stimulate Lambert a little.
Suddenly, Lambert suddenly disappeared from the spot, and when he appeared again, he was already a few meters in front of Ryan.
I saw his right hand shaking like lightning, and slashed forward. In an instant, seven or eight criss-crossing silver arcs burst out from the position where Ryan was.
"Dangdangdang!!"
But at the same moment, eight strong sparks flashed, and the sound of dense and connected collisions suddenly resounded all around!
Lambert's 'Eight-segment Tide Slash', which killed the Shadow Eagle in seconds in the first test, was completely blocked by Ryan.
After missing the attack, Lambert returned to the original place again.
However, the smile on his face became brighter.
"Sir Ryan, I am more and more satisfied with your strength."
"You know? Although I owe the Drum family a favor, I can actually refuse their request."
"But I think Sir Ryan may give me a surprise and help me reach a higher level. Now it seems that my feeling is right."
"Sir Ryan, then I will do my best." Lambert smiled solemnly and raised the two-meter-long sword high with both hands. The straight sword tip seemed to pierce the sky.
"Triple Slash of Waves!"
As Lambert shouted angrily!
Ryan could feel the other party's strong mental fluctuations, or more accurately, the sword's faith, infused into the sword.
Suddenly, a sword-shaped air wave spanned more than 20 meters and came directly from Lambert's sword, hitting him heavily.
Ryan still had a calm face, holding the fine gold sword horizontally to block, and at the same time, the combination witchcraft "Iron Armor" was covered around his body.
"Dang!!!"
Suddenly, three circular air waves spread out in all directions from the point where the two swords collided. The tall trees more than ten meters away suddenly shook, many branches broke, and leaves fell to the ground.
On the surface, the triple slash of overlapping waves was just a sword that contained the faith of the sword, but in fact it was three swords in one, so there were three air waves.
After Lambert performed this attack, he did not continue to attack, but readjusted his posture, from standing with his legs crossed to a posture with his left foot slightly bent in front and his right foot behind.
The sword in his hand was raised diagonally.
From the previous move, Lambert once again raised his expectations of Ryan's combat power.
Being able to block his triple slash of overlapping waves with the faith of the sword with a horizontal sword showed that the opponent's strength was at the same level as his.
At this time, it was not enough to rely on the faith of the sword and the release of the original force.
It was necessary to add strength, three in one.
Simply put, it must be close combat!
At the same time.
In the command hall on the second floor of the Astrologer Platform in the imperial capital Tamriel.
Marshal Alfred and others were busy checking the various situations happening in the secret realm at this time.
"Not good, Captain Agrippa reported that their team encountered a legendary strongman of the Plague Cult. Although they repelled him, two team members were infected with the Soul Devouring Plague and could not be expelled in a short time."
Tatia glanced at the thin slice, her face changed, and reported.
"Is there a problem with the rift closer?" General Augustus asked first.
"There is no problem with the rift closer. Captain Agrippa can reach the second point immediately. But the problem now is that the team's combat power is damaged. If we go to encircle that person later, there may be some problems."
Tatia added.
At this time, the thin slice in Tatia's hand vibrated again.
Looking down, Tatia frowned and said:
"Captain Baldwin reported that Lord Ryan was stopped by Lambert, the disciple of the Tide Sword Saint, and said that he wanted to force a competition."
Lambert, she had naturally heard of him.
As the eldest disciple of the Sword Saint of Tide, his strength is naturally beyond doubt.
His original title was "Sword Saint of Tide", and it is not difficult to see from the title that he has undoubtedly obtained the true teachings of the Sword Saint of Tide.
But in the past two years, the title of "Sword Saint of Tide" has gradually faded, and most people have turned to call Lambert "quasi-Sword Saint".
Being called "quasi-Sword Saint", his swordsmanship attainments have obviously reached a certain critical point, and as long as he crosses it, he can reach the realm of Sword Saint.
"Nonsense!"
"Now in the secret realm, every bit of the empire's combat power is precious, this Lambert."
Hearing this news, General Augustus was obviously very angry.
And the great astrologer Dallion, who was standing aside, after hearing Tatia's report, silently chanted a spell and took the initiative to show the scene of Ryan at the moment on the oval stone platform in the center of the command hall.
Obviously, Ryan's repeated rescues have also aroused a strong interest in the great astrologer Dallion.
As the screen was displayed, everyone present couldn't help but look over.
However, in the picture at this moment, the figures of Ryan and Lambert were not visible, but the two Ereda women and Baldwin who were watching on the side were clearly visible.
This strange scene naturally made Tatia's eyes confused.
Could it be that Lord Dallion's astrology was wrong and did not lock on Lord Ryan?
"The speed of the two of them is too fast." Marshal Alfred said in a deep voice.
Tatia looked carefully and found that in the center of the picture, a large tree that two people could hug together fell down like wheat being cut, and two blurry figures appeared from time to time, and then flashed away.
Although the figures were not clear, the strong sparks when they collided and the short-term stagnation when the big swords collided allowed people to barely capture the figures of the two.
Compared with the command hall, the Ereda sisters at the scene could better understand the strength of the two.
"Sister, this guy's swordsmanship is really the highest I have ever seen in my life. Do you think Lord Ryan can win?" Sister Ereda was worried for the first time.
"I believe Lord Ryan can win." Sister Erida nodded and said.
At this time, the situation in the center of the venue changed!
"Sword Shadow Clone Slash!"
Lambert roared, and his figure suddenly appeared in the air, clearly visible!
The next moment, the muscles in his arms suddenly swelled, his coat exploded, and he pulled out eight figures with different slashing postures, and began to jump and slash down one after another towards Ryan's position!
