Chapter 515 Underground and Sea
"In fact, in my heart, you are the one who truly possesses the character of a knight." Ryan said seriously.
Whether it was Menia's performance in the battle just now, or what Ryan felt, those battle scenes from Menia's consciousness fragments, Ryan had a heartfelt respect for this mature, beautiful and wise woman in front of him.
Although Ryan did not completely check all of Menia's consciousness fragments because they were not completely integrated, it can be seen from the leopard that Ryan already knew the other party's character.
Hearing Ryan's words, Menia was slightly startled.
When she came back to her senses, she found that Ryan was still staring at her with burning eyes.
If other people were so rude, Menia would definitely be angry.
At the same time, if it were in the past, even if it was Ryan, Menia would definitely feel offended.
But she was different at this moment.
Even she didn't realize that after experiencing the process of merging with Ryan's consciousness, she inexplicably had a natural sense of closeness and familiarity with Ryan.
To some extent, this intimacy even exceeds that of a lover.
When Ryan looked at Menia at this time, the feeling was completely different from before. Instead, it was like looking at Anna, looking at someone he was very familiar with.
"Thank you."
Facing Ryan's gaze, the always majestic "Red Queen" Menia blushed slightly, felt shy, and extremely rarely lowered her head in front of a young man.
If outsiders saw this scene, they would be shocked.
However, in Ryan's view, Menia in front of him, on the basis of elegance and luxury, added a bit of mature woman's charm and shyness, making him look even more fixed.
"Ray Ryan, I need some time to recover."
"Well, of course, Your Highness Menia." Ryan nodded quickly, slightly covering up his own gaffe.
"However, although I brought a healing potion, it is estimated that it is not very effective in treating the sequelae of the dragon blood sacrifice, so it may take me a few days to recover a certain combat effectiveness."
Menia looked around with her beautiful eyes, as if judging whether this place was safe.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Menia, I'm here, you can recover here without worry." Ryan said immediately.
"By the way, is there anything I can help with?"
He had long felt that although His Highness Menia in front of him did not seem to have obvious injuries, his breath was much weaker, and it was also very unstable.
He could hardly maintain the level of a fourth-level Dawn Wizard.
If he was not treated or recovered immediately, he would probably fall back to the level of a Dawn Wizard.
This is easy to understand. After all, the power of the secret technique is so great, and the sequelae are also extremely serious.
In fact, normally, after Menia performed the Dragon Blood Sacrifice, it would basically end in death.
But fortunately, Ryan, the object of the Dragon Blood Sacrifice, was quite different. He actually forcibly terminated the Dragon Blood Sacrifice and returned everything to the original owner.
However, this is not borrowing things, and it will be fine if you return them.
It involves a series of extremely complex and sophisticated changes. Ryan knows that even if Menia recovers well, her strength will probably drop at least one level, becoming a fourth-level middle-stage dawn wizard. This is the best expectation.
If it is not handled immediately, it is very likely to fall to the early stage of dawn.
Even if the worst is planned, it is very likely to fall to the peak level of third-level crystallization.
"Thank you, I don't need it for now." Menia shook her head and said.
"Well, if you need me, you can call me at any time."
As Menia fell into a deep meditation state, Ryan carefully checked the surroundings again, and after confirming that there were no violent species in the dark lake and the surrounding rock walls, he returned to Menia with peace of mind.
"This place is hundreds of meters below the surface, and the pit above has formed a lake due to the siphon effect. The possibility of being discovered by the Sea God Cult is very small."
"However, if this happens, the Federation is afraid that it will explode."
He just tried to send a witchcraft message. It seems that because he went deep underground, the witchcraft fluctuations were also greatly affected, and he could not contact Reginald.
"I wonder if His Majesty Reginald has escaped?"
After a brief thought, Ryan couldn't help but shake his head again, feeling that there was a small risk in contacting Reginald just now.
It's not that he was worried that Reginald would reveal their situation, but if there were a large number of high-level wizards of the Poseidon Church around the island, then there was a certain probability that his witchcraft communication process would be sensed by nearby wizards.
At this moment, he only had a few remaining attribute points. If the Poseidon Church was attracted and Menia was at a critical moment of healing, it would be counterproductive.
However, Ryan was not idle.
In addition to summarizing combat experience, although he did not have the relevant raw materials for elven leather making and the raw materials for goblin engineering creations, he didn't forget that he had not studied the goblin engineering knowledge that he had memorized in his mind before.
Hiram had previously taught Ryan all his research progress, allowing Ryan to advance to the Goblin Engineer (Legend) Prerequisite 3 - 'Mastering the knowledge related to goblin engineering', and the progress had reached 63%.
Therefore, Ryan planned to take advantage of Menia's recovery to see if he could improve the progress.
Of course, before that, Ryan had one more thing to do, which was to confirm the situation of the mermaid girl who seemed to be from an ancient race.
The other party's state was very strange. There was no consciousness in her body, neither the consciousness of her original body nor the consciousness left after the goddess of the underworld took over her body. However, the blood in her body was flowing slowly, and her skin color was delicate and lifelike.
It was as if she was asleep.
A few minutes ago.
On the sea near the island.
Just as Reginald tried his best to control his dragon partner Ted and tried to catch up with His Highness Menia and Ryan who had separated and retreated to the island, he was blocked by the Pope of the Sea God Church Egil and a large group of high-level sorcerers.
As a last resort, Reginald could only fly to the other side, that is, to gather with the remaining imperial airship formation that came to support bravely.
He planned to rely on the cooperation of the imperial airship formation to resist a wave of attacks from the opponent, and then find an opportunity to seek a chance to reunite with Menia and Ryan.
Of course, he also knew that although Ryan's combat power was as amazing as ever, Menia's condition was very poor and he could hardly maintain the dragon form. Once Menia lost his combat power, the entire battle balance would be broken and both of them would face despair.
So, at this moment, he was extremely anxious!
"The imperial airship formation, cooperate with His Highness Reginald, and forcefully assault the island ahead!"
The old major general in the captain's room of the imperial flagship naturally saw the scene in front of him and immediately gave the order.
But just as the airship formation turned and fought fiercely with the Flying Fish Knights and Manta Knights of the Poseidon Cult, suddenly, a dazzling white beam of light appeared in front of everyone!
This beam of light appeared in the center of the island not far away, almost penetrating the sky, and quickly expanded to dozens of times the diameter. Then, a strong shock wave covered the island and blasted towards the sea.
The densely packed Poseidon Cult flying knights were directly blown away by the air wave for dozens of meters, and the only four remaining airships of the empire were also like candles swaying in the wind, shaky.
Only Reginald, one man and one dragon, could barely stabilize in mid-air.
"This kind of fire energy fluctuation, can't it be..." Reginald, who saw this scene, turned completely pale and muttered.
Because he knew very well that Ryan was a metal wizard, and the one who could release such a fire magic with such energy fluctuation must be His Highness Menia, but Menia's state just now was almost exhausted, where did he get the mental strength to release such a degree of attack? The
Pope of the Sea God Church, Egil, was also experienced. Looking at this scene, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"The young man named Ryan is not a fire dawn wizard. The only one who can release such powerful magic is the woman called "Red Queen" Menia of the Dragun Empire."
"Judging from the other party's state just now, he is absolutely unable to release such a degree of magic. It seems that the other party has been forced to self-destruct by my Lord."
Hearing the analysis of their own Pope, the high-level sorcerers of the Sea God Church behind Egil nodded one after another, with a look of joy on their faces.
"That's a big win! I heard that this dragon rider named Menia is the aunt of the Emperor of the Dragun Empire and a top-level royal powerhouse. It's of great significance to be able to kill her!"
"I've also heard that the 'Red Queen' Menia is a famous guardian of the Dragun Empire. This time, she was killed by our Poseidon Church, which will raise the reputation of our church to a higher level."
"Haha, then should we work harder and wipe out the enemy here?"
"Don't worry, let's go to the island to check the situation first. As for Reginald, we will make a decision later." Pope Egil thought for a while and decided to go to the island to check the situation first.
He thought about it this way. First, if that Ryan was still alive, he would be so close to the center of the witchcraft explosion and must be seriously injured. They could just help their goddess prevent the other party from escaping, and even if they were lucky, they could pick up the leak.
Second, Reginald in front of them was an earth-based dawn wizard known for his defense, plus a yellow dragon with earth-based witchcraft, which was really like a tortoise shell, and it was difficult to kill him in a short time.
Therefore, from the priority point of view, it must be the first choice to kill Ryan.
So, the battlefield here strangely reached a certain unity. Both the Poseidon Cult and the Empire were desperately rushing towards the island, and the battle was naturally more intense on the way.
Soon, the scene of the island appeared in front of everyone.
In an instant, almost everyone stopped in astonishment, staring at the huge pit in front of them that had turned into a small lake, and many people looked around, as if looking for something.
I saw that the ground was like a hurricane passing through, and all the vegetation had been completely destroyed. It was all radial mud and stones. The scene was almost clear at a glance.
There was no figure of the goddess of the underworld Hela.
There was no figure of the three-headed dragon Ryan.
Even after careful inspection, they did not have the figure of the red queen Menia.
It seemed that all three of them disappeared in the explosion at the same time.
This made many high-level warlocks of the Poseidon Cult whisper.
"Could it be that they both died?"
"It's hard to say, but there is such a possibility!"
"Although my Lord lost an incarnation, if he can kill the Empire's 'Red Queen' Menia, it would be a small victory."
These words naturally reached the ears of Pope Egil, but he frowned slightly, because the scene in front of him was not what he expected. In addition, his opinion was different from that of other people in the church.
Because if it was their own goddess who had the upper hand, then even if the Red Queen Menia self-destructed, there should be an incarnation of their own goddess at the scene, but there was none now.
"The self-destruction just now was a fluctuation of fire energy, and the Red Queen Menia should have died, no doubt!"
"However, that Ryan is likely to be alive, and he also defeated my Lord's incarnation."
"At the same time, the other party should be seriously injured, so he hid before we arrived. This can explain why there is no one at the scene at this moment!" Pope Egil's eyes gradually brightened while his brain was working at high speed.
In particular, when he silently prayed to his own goddess in his heart, there was no response, which made Egil more certain of his guess!
"Stop the Imperial airships and search the entire island!" Egil ordered immediately.
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
The same thought also popped up in Reginald's mind.
"It is very likely that Her Highness Menia has fallen!"
"But Ryan may not have. At least we didn't see the seawater clone of the Goddess of the Underworld here. This means that it is very likely that after Her Highness Menia blew herself up and severely injured the other party, Ryan took the opportunity to defeat the Goddess of the Underworld."
"Could it be that she was at the bottom of the explosion crater?"
The sudden attack of the Poseidon Cult interrupted Reginald's thinking.
In the face of the fierce attack of the Poseidon Cult, the remaining airship formations of the Empire were not afraid of life and death, but they still fell into a disadvantage. However, under the leadership of Reginald, they were able to fight and retreat, and they could still hold on.
But soon, the Poseidon Cult discovered that a small fleet of the Federation was rapidly approaching from the sea not far away.
Although this fleet was quickly destroyed by the flying knights of the Poseidon Cult, it did disperse a certain amount of troops. In addition, not long after this small fleet was destroyed, several federal fast warships cruising nearby arrived.
For a time, a long battle line stretching for several kilometers spread out on the sea, with artillery roaring and sea beasts roaring!
After a while.
"Your Holiness, the subordinates have searched this island thoroughly, but still have not found any trace of Ryan." At this time, a sorcerer came to report.
"Continue searching!" Egil said in a deep voice.
"This... Your Holiness, more and more federal naval ships are gathering towards us now. The flying fish knights and manta knights have suffered heavy losses. You see, isn't that right?" A high-level sorcerer next to him persuaded.
In fact, when Pope Egil just issued the order to search the entire island, many high-level sorcerers on the side had doubts, because in their opinion, whether it was Menia and Ryan of the Empire, or their own goddess clones, they should have died together in the explosion just now.
Especially when the search was fruitless, this thought naturally became stronger.
Egil, the Pope of the Poseidon Church, naturally understood the meaning of his capable subordinate's words. He looked around and saw that more and more Federation ships had appeared on the sea in the distance. If he
waited a little longer, the Federation might arrive.
In addition, he had just tried to pray again in his heart, but his goddess did not respond. Obviously, even the prayers of the Pope did not respond at all, and his goddess clone must have fallen.
But as to whether they died together, he was not sure.
"Could it be that they really died together?" Egil looked thoughtful.
At this time, a silver stream of light suddenly passed through the sky in the east, and a strong man was rushing over at high speed!
"Huh!"
A huge cross of silver sword light passed through the sky, and immediately cut dozens of Manta Knights and Flying Fish Knights who tried to block it into several pieces, turning into a bloody rain!
Faced with such a powerful force, the other flying knights did not dare to stop them for a while.
"Tirion, the Sword Saint of the Federation!" Egil narrowed his eyes and said.
