Chapter 426 Ancient Black Water Ghost
"However, before I play with you properly, I think I should clean up these two little bugs first."
The black-robed girl transformed by the goddess of the underworld Hela, with a pair of beautiful eyes, glanced at Nick and Agrippa who had just arrived.
This sidelong glance made the two people tremble with fear!
And the words of the goddess of the underworld, the two people understood immediately that the other party wanted to clear the field first and then deal with Ryan.
This immediately made the two people glance at Ryan with an ugly face, and shouted in their hearts:
"No! What's going on?"
"I asked you to attract the other party's attention, but you are too attractive, right?"
"Brother, you have attracted too much!"
And this scene.
Naturally, it was seen by everyone on the second floor of the Astrologer's Platform in the imperial capital Tamriel.
For a moment, including Marshal Alfred, and even the great astrologer Darien who was maintaining astrology on the side, they all looked at Ryan in the picture on the oval stone platform with astonishment.
"Augustus, you said that Ryan and the goddess of the underworld fought against each other last time?" Alfred quickly came to his senses and asked.
"Uh, yes, to be precise, Lord Ryan fought against a projection of the goddess of the underworld." Augustus was slightly stunned, nodded, and said.
But in an instant, Augustus also understood the meaning of Marshal Alfred's words.
That is, if it was just a fight with the projection of the gods, the goddess of the underworld would not be so violent
and would not say such a thing this time.
"Last time it was just a fight?" Marshal Alfred asked doubtfully.
"This." For a moment, Augustus tried to recall.
The empire has a huge territory, many cults, and even various secret ancient sects have revived. Although the projection of gods is not particularly frequent, on average, there are one or two such incidents a month.
Even every few months, somewhere in the empire will report the arrival of the incarnation of gods.
"This. I may know the reason." At this time, the female major general Tatia said with a strange face.
"Because the battle between Lord Ryan and the projection of the Underworld Goddess was in the Frost Tundra, it was the Sword Bearers Division of the Marne Province that reported it first."
"I've watched it many times and I'm quite impressed."
Tatia's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Well, Lord Ryan's mouth might have been a little poisonous at that time, so that's why the Underworld Goddess was very impressed." Tatia wanted to talk about it in detail, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that it was not appropriate, so she could only say it in one sentence.
However, this made everyone more curious.
"Be more specific, for example?" Marshal Alfred, who always kept his emotions to himself, also had a look of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes at this moment, and said.
"Well, for example, the Underworld Goddess wanted Lord Ryan to surrender, but Lord Ryan immediately said that it would be better if you surrendered to me."
What?
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Tatia in amazement.
"No, that's not what I said. That's what Lord Ryan said." Tatia was frightened by the looks of her superiors, and she waved her hands quickly.
At that time, she was shocked by the relevant description in the intelligence, so she read it several times in a row and found the Sword Bearer Branch of Marne Province to confirm it, so she was very impressed.
Everyone realized that there was such a reason!
No wonder!
At this moment, Hela, the goddess of the underworld, looked like this, staring at Ryan with a "deeply affectionate" look.
It was as if a woman was looking at a man who had been abandoned after having sex.
The smile was beautiful, but it was just scary!
However, just when everyone looked at the projection on the stone platform again, the scene in the picture suddenly changed!
Hela, the goddess of the underworld, suddenly pointed at Agrippa, not far to her right, and in an instant, five groups of high-speed rotating black water suddenly appeared in front of her.
There seemed to be something in the black water, as if it was imprisoning the resentful soul, and vaguely, it seemed that a painful human face could be seen.
Then, with the movement of her white finger, she attacked Agrippa like lightning.
It seemed that, as she said, she had to clean up the two little bugs first.
This scene made Ryan raise his eyebrows, and immediately, he flashed and attacked the goddess of the underworld.
Although both Nick and Agrippa had their own calculations, Ryan would not stand aside and watch Hela kill them.
As the attacked Agrippa, he naturally did not dare to rely on his own wind-type third-level witchcraft "Whirlwind Barrier" to resist the attack of a god incarnation.
Moreover, with his perception, he could easily distinguish that although the witchcraft of the goddess of the underworld Hela was almost instantaneous, the energy fluctuation was so violent that it was almost comparable to the fourth-level witchcraft.
Therefore, Agrippa's first reaction was naturally to rely on his own swift wind-type witchcraft to quickly dodge.
He was seen flashing with green light, and the whole person left several afterimages, and immediately retreated dozens of meters.
Just when Agrippa thought he had dodged the opponent's witchcraft, he suddenly raised his head, and his heart, which had been slightly relaxed, suddenly tightened up!
Because Agrippa was shocked to find that the five black water vortexes released by the goddess of the underworld, Hela, were like five living creatures, chasing him in a beautiful arc and catching up with him again.
Such a strong tracking characteristic? !
It's simply unreasonable!
You know, general witchcraft has certain tracking characteristics based on the spiritual power of the caster, but this will rapidly decrease with the distance and movement speed of the target.
At this moment, he was at least 200 meters away from the goddess of the underworld, but the opponent could still accurately lock him.
This is too exaggerated!
This level of mental strength is probably the same for a fourth-level Dawn Wizard!
But shouldn't the secret realm have strength limits?
In an instant, many thoughts popped up in Agrippa's mind, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
In this regard, he could only dodge desperately.
Agrippa's body, surrounded by cyan airflow, flashed quickly again. At the same time, he also applied the first and second-level innate magic to himself to further strengthen his defense.
But unfortunately, a black water vortex happened to appear in Agrippa's dodge path.
"Boom!"
The first black water vortex blew up Agrippa's wind-type third-level magic 'Whirlwind Barrier' protection, and made Agrippa stagger.
You know, there are five black water vortexes in total.
One exploded, and there are four more to follow.
"Boom!"
Because Agrippa was blasted, his speed was greatly reduced, and the second black water vortex immediately caught up, instantly blasting away the other protective effects on his body.
Even the amulet on Agrippa's neck shattered directly after releasing a blue shield with a bright light!
This also made Agrippa's hair stand on end instantly!
Because this was his last automatically triggered protective magic weapon.
"Boom!"
At this time, the third black water vortex attacked and blew Agrippa away immediately!
"Ah!!!"
As the black water splashed, Agrippa screamed in pain. The black water was like the strongest aqua regia, with super corrosiveness, directly corroding the unprotected body of Agrippa.
It melted as quickly as a candle encountering a raging fire.
Then, Agrippa's screams stopped abruptly!
Because the subsequent fourth black water vortex immediately killed him on the spot, and only a pool of black water with a foul smell on the ground represented that there was once a legendary peak strongman here.
Ryan, who was standing aside, naturally took in the scene and was surprised at the strength of Hela's incarnation.
Compared with the previous projection, the strength has increased by at least five times!
In addition, the energy fluctuation of the witchcraft that Hela had just cast was so strong that he could vaguely see a tiny crack in the space.
In other words, the energy of the opponent's witchcraft has reached the upper limit that the secret realm can bear.
If Agrippa is at the peak of the legend, then Hela's incarnation at this time is equivalent to the perfection of the legend. If the strength is a little stronger, it will be squeezed out of the secret realm.
No wonder, even as strong as Agrippa, he fell directly after taking the opponent's witchcraft!
This is the terrifying thing about the gods!
Just an incarnation is so terrifying.
At the same time.
Ryan has rushed to ten meters in front of Hela!
In an instant, Ryan's body suddenly swelled, and dark gray dragon scales appeared on his body. He actually directly opened the second stage of transformation-the dragon general form, and the hardened fine gold in his hand quickly covered the dragon claws.
Ryan knew very well that facing the goddess of the underworld in such a state, if he did not transform, his attack would not be able to break the defense!
As Ryan's transformation was successfully completed, his last step also followed, and he crossed ten meters in one step!
A wave of white air instantly blew out from the nearly ten-meter-high surface of Ryan's body. The speed of this sudden explosion was even faster than the speed of sound!
Accompanied by a huge sonic boom, Ryan used a strong dragon claw to slam towards the black-robed girl incarnated by Hela!
"Bang!!!"
A black energy shield with a diameter of three meters was held up by Hela with one hand. It was also the resistance of this black shield that Ryan's claw seemed to hit a very resilient ball.
A circle of black energy aura burst out from the intersection, sweeping around. At the same time, the black energy vortex was also slightly dented.
But from the smiling face of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, it can be seen that Ryan's attack did not cause her any trouble.
At this moment, she is not a projection, but an incarnation.
The energy that can be mobilized is completely on a different level.
If you want to use the previous tricks to break her current vortex, that is a dream.
However, she just wanted to see Ryan's desperate look
. These two scenes in a row made Nick, the captain of the inner guard on the other side, horrified!
The strength of the goddess of the underworld, Hela, is too terrifying!
He quickly made a decision in his heart!
Retreat immediately!
He can't stay here even for a minute.
However, there is still a problem here.
If he still wants to return to the Dragun Empire, he can't cast any witchcraft.
Unless Nick abandons everything and throws himself into the arms of the cult, otherwise, he must at least attack.
Thinking of this, a ruthless expression flashed across Nick's face.
"Then don't blame me for accidentally injuring my friends!"
Nick immediately cast a spell on the goddess of the underworld and Ryan who were fighting.
The next second, circles of blue lightning quickly wrapped around the surface of Nick's white wizard robe, like a resistor with high voltage electricity, and all the living things on the ground around him were instantly killed by the escaped current.
Leaves, green grass, etc., even floated up.
At the same time.
In the command hall on the second floor of the astrologer platform in the imperial capital Tamriel.
The scene in the oval stone platform changed in just a few seconds, as if the world was turned upside down.
Although the commanders, including Marshal Alfred, have repeatedly overestimated the strength of Hela's incarnation who sneaked into the secret realm of Dragon Valley after being injured.
But the scene in front of them still shocked them completely.
Agrippa, the old legendary peak powerhouse, couldn't even withstand a spell, so how could this battle be fought?
The remaining two people, Ryan and Nick, were only slightly stronger than Agrippa, but only slightly stronger.
Facing the goddess of the underworld in this state, can she withstand two spells? Or three spells?
For a moment, everyone was shocked by the strength of the goddess of the underworld, and bad thoughts arose in their hearts.
"This is the ancient spell 'Ancient Black Water Dead Soul'. It is said that in each black water ball, there is a dead person from the underworld."
"This is actually a fourth-level dawn spell, but it was simplified and weakened by the goddess of the underworld in some way, so that it can be performed in the secret realm of Dragon Valley."
At this time, the great astrologer Dallion frowned and narrated.
Hmm?
Simplified dawn spell? Isn't that a quasi-fourth-level spell?
This is a dimensionality reduction attack!
No wonder Agrippa couldn't withstand a single move.
Everyone suddenly understood.
"This spell is powerful and has strong tracking ability, but the movement speed of the black water vortex is not too fast. If you know it in advance, it is not too difficult to dodge." The great astrologer Dallion continued.
"Tatia, check who else is nearby?" Marshal Alfred stood up with a serious expression.
"Yes, sir!" Tatia quickly got busy.
She knew that if there were no reinforcements, even Lord Ryan would be in danger.
"The closest one is... Eh? It's Captain Baldwin! It's still two kilometers away from Lord Ryan." Tatia said in surprise.
"Contact him quickly and ask him to speed up."
"Marshal, Captain Baldwin is heading towards the target point quickly."
"Very good! Tell Baldwin about the fighting power of the Goddess of the Underworld and the situation Lord Dallion just mentioned. It would be best if he could remind Ryan." Marshal Alfred reminded.
If you know the opponent's strength in advance, you won't be caught off guard. If
Agrippa had known in advance and adopted the tactic of fighting in a guerrilla battle, although it cannot guarantee that he will be safe, his survival time will be much higher.
"Yes, sir, Marshal. In addition, there are two..."
Just as Tatia was reporting, she was suddenly interrupted by a roar!
"Bang! Nick, you bastard!" General Augustus slammed his palm on the table, and glared at the scene on the stone platform!
Everyone looked sideways and raised their heads to look at the oval stone platform!
They saw the scene on the stone platform.
"Dragon Thunder!"
Nick roared!
"Bang!"
As the blue crystal ball on the top of his cane exploded, the power of the witchcraft he was casting suddenly increased greatly. In an instant, a ball of lightning blasted towards the location of Ryan and Hela!
Before it was about to touch the two people, the ball of lightning suddenly cracked, forming a lightning grid with a diameter of about ten meters.
Huh?
A cold light flashed in Ryan's eyes.
He didn't expect that Nick would attack him as well.
Another point is that he was casting metal witchcraft, and at this moment, his nearly ten-meter-tall body was covered with "steel armor".
Metal conducts electricity.
In other words, he would suffer more damage than Hela, the goddess of the underworld in front of him.
Ryan didn't believe that Nick didn't think of this.
Hela was holding up a protective vortex shield, so she was not worried at all when she saw this scene. Instead, she watched how Ryan responded calmly.
However, Ryan responded very quickly. He transformed the hardened fine gold in his hand into a spear and stabbed it directly into the ground near Hela's feet.
"Crash!"
Most of the arcs were instantly absorbed by the metal spear!
Suddenly, the black water ball of Hela, the goddess of the underworld, became conductive.
This made Hela stunned!
She didn't expect that Ryan in front of her could so easily resolve this attack that didn't distinguish between enemies and friends, and after collecting the power of lightning, he attacked her again.
This made Hela look a little angry.
But she didn't attack Ryan, because she planned to kill Ryan after playing with him enough.
Naturally, she wanted to put Ryan last.
Therefore, Hela's anger could only be released on Nick.
She looked at Nick who was fleeing quickly with her beautiful eyes.
"This little bug thought he could escape?"
"How ignorant!"
The goddess of the underworld, Hela, stretched out her other hand and clenched it. In an instant, a black light flashed, and a trident made of pure energy, flashing with translucent black light, suddenly appeared in her hand.
"Shua!"
A black lightning flashed!
In the blink of an eye, the trident flashing with black light came behind Nick who was fleeing.
This made Nick curse and his scalp tingle.
"Lightning displacement!"
But Nick was experienced in combat after all, and he shouted.
Suddenly, his figure suddenly teleported forward several meters.
This was his life-saving skill, a rare third-level lightning magic - 'Lightning displacement'!
Although it consumes a lot of mental energy when it is performed, it can move two to three meters in any direction in an instant.
When facing physical attacks, it is a life-saving skill!
Nick saw the energy trident brush past him by a hair's breadth and inserted directly into the ground beside him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Luckily! I still have this life-saving trick."
"Otherwise, I'd be damned dead this time!"
"."
But before he finished thinking, Nick suddenly realized that he was blown away for no apparent reason.
From Ryan's perspective, he could see it clearly.
Although the black trident did not hit Nick directly, after it was inserted into the ground, a black electric current flashed through the trident, and then it exploded directly.
A shock wave and black light comparable to a small fuel-air bomb flashed by.
The protective magic on Nick's body did not even last for 0.1 seconds, and it shattered like glass.
Nick was also blown away instantly.
The attack just now was not a simple physical attack, but in a sense, it was a mixed attack.
Ryan didn't even need to go forward to check, he knew that Nick was dead.
Because in addition to the damage from the shock wave, the black energy was also highly corrosive.
At this moment, Nick's body lying on the ground was melting rapidly like a candle lying horizontally.
If he was still alive, he would definitely struggle to get up.
But now he didn't react at all.
Although Agrippa and Nick died one after another, Ryan didn't feel uncomfortable or guilty at all.
He didn't do anything wrong in the battle just now.
On the contrary, Nick's "Dragon Thunder" was obviously intentional.
These two people can be described with an old saying from the previous life, that is, "Too clever to plan everything, but it will cost you your life!"
In fact, since the other party played a dirty trick, even if Hela didn't get rid of these two people first, Ryan would let them suffer the consequences in the battle later.
It's just that the result now is even more impeccable.
"Very good, now the two little bugs are solved."
"Now, it's your turn."
The black-robed girl incarnated by the goddess of the underworld Hela looked at Ryan with a pair of beautiful eyes and smiled.
"Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Thank you for the reward from Happy and Lucky!
