Chapter 536 Showdown
Although Duke Davis was not aware of Ryan's record in the Federation, he learned some details of the Battle of Ferdinand Forest through secret intelligence. Even if Menia had issued a gag order at the time, it was impossible to completely prevent the leakage of information.
The words of Duke Davis immediately relieved the beautiful woman Jennifer in the front row.
It seems that not everyone thinks Ryan will lose.
Although Ryan had told her before that she didn't have to worry at all, Jennifer was still a little nervous because she was just an ordinary person.
Claire on the side was also relieved, and her slightly frowned eyebrows also relaxed.
She had heard a lot of stories about the Imperial Guardians since she was a child, and she had an almost natural awe and yearning for the strength of the Imperial Guardians. In general, she was still worried about this competition.
In contrast, the barbarian girl Lagre had more confidence in Ryan. She had seen Ryan's rapid improvement in strength and had also seen him kill the super giant proto-dragon Corahus in the Wind Tundra half a year ago.
Now another half a year has passed, and Ryan's strength has long been improved to an unknown extent.
In Lagre's eyes, this 'Storm' is not considered to be Ryan's opponent.
"Duke Davis, this is not necessarily true. The ancestor just submitted a situation report to the imperial family yesterday. His dragon partner Hazas has entered the old dragon stage."
At this time, an old nobleman came to the aisle. It was Duke Drum. He came late and looked around with a proud face.
"What! Old dragon?" Duke Davis's face changed.
"How is this possible? Green dragon Hazas is not..." Duke Davis said half a sentence and swallowed it back immediately, as if he thought of something.
Hearing this news, the surrounding high-ranking nobles, noble ladies and young ladies all let out a low cry. As the foundation of the Dragun Empire, some of the growth stages and differences of dragons are almost like treasures to them.
Old dragons, even if there are individual differences, their strength is basically between the middle epic and the peak epic.
Coupled with the strength of the dragon knight Pantoskok himself,
the words of Duke Drum naturally changed the expressions of the three women in the front row. They looked at each other and couldn't help but worry.
"Look, Ryan is here."
I don't know which noble lady shouted, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
I saw a handsome young man in a wizard robe slowly walking into the center of the venue. Although he was young, he had a calm face, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and a pair of eyes as bright as gems, like the brightest stars in the deep night sky.
Many high-ranking nobles who saw Ryan for the first time whispered to each other.
Although a person's name is like a tree's shadow, many nobles and noble ladies and ladies have heard of Ryan's name, but this is the first time they have seen him in person.
"Is this Ryan? The rising star of the empire?"
"How young!"
"You are so young and can fight against His Majesty 'Storm'?"
In the venue.
It was Ryan's first time to come to the Royal Arena.
He looked up and looked around. This was an arena similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum in his previous life, but it was covered with a large number of high-level defensive magic arrays. Therefore, whether it was the white marble walls or the pillars around, they all showed complex luminous patterns.
With his strength reaching this level, he could naturally feel the energy of various systems surging in these patterns.
His sight first focused on the most eye-catching central area of the arena's circular stands, where there was a luxurious stand with the best viewing view. The gilded railings and exquisite sculptures indicated that this was an exclusive stand belonging to the imperial family.
And Ryan also saw the elegant figure, and he only saw his eyes linger for a while and smiled slightly.
Menia was sitting in the center of the luxurious stands at this moment. Seeing Ryan's salute, she naturally smiled and nodded in response.
Sitting on the right side of Menia was the Prince of Everton, and on the left was a young and beautiful woman that Ryan had never seen before. The other party was Princess Reinara.
"Grandma Menia, it seems that you are not worried that Ryan will lose at all?" Reinara asked curiously, holding Menia's hand intimately.
She naturally heard about her great-aunt and Ryan, and knew that it was the other party who saved her great-aunt on the way to visit the Federation. However, seeing her great-aunt's smiling expression throughout the whole process, it seems that she is not worried at all that Ryan will lose this competition.
"Well, I have confidence in Ryan." Menia smiled and patted the back of Reinara's white hand.
Although Prince Everton on the side also smiled, he did not agree at all in his heart.
As Ryan continued to move forward, he soon saw a number of powerful men with restrained auras on one side of the royal stand, including the familiar 'Earth Pulse' Reginald.
Obviously, these more than ten people should all be imperial guardians, or in other words, imperial strongmen of the same level.
"Huh? Is this Ryan? He is very powerful." An old man in a water blue wizard robe said with a serious face.
He just took a peek at Ryan's strength, but found that he was blocked.
You know, those who can do this are all veteran Dawn wizards with mental strength similar to his.
He thought that Ryan was so young and it was a natural talent to enter the Dawn, but now it seems that the opponent's strength is even higher than he expected.
"Your Majesty Reginald, you know this young Lord Ryan best, why don't you introduce him?"
"Haha, Your Majesty Whitaker, I don't think I need to waste my breath anymore. Soon, everyone will see the strength of Lord Ryan."
Reginald naturally didn't worry about whether Ryan would win or lose.
"Oh? It seems that Your Majesty Reginald is very confident in this young Lord Ryan." An old man in a green wizard robe interrupted, "How about a small bet?"
"Okay, since Your Majesty Perkins is interested, I will accompany you."
The other party was one of the conservative tough guys, and he and Reginald didn't have a very harmonious relationship, so Reginald said without hesitation.
Reginald's straightforward attitude made Perkins, who had spoken, pause, as if he was a little hesitant.
As Ryan continued to move forward, his eyes met with the three women, and he nodded slightly, then stood on the right side of the center of the venue and looked up at the sky.
At this time, on the high platform on Reginald's side, a group of strong men also looked up at the sky.
Although there was nothing over there, an invisible pressure began to descend rapidly. A large cloud of dust soon rose in the center of the venue, and some kind of witchcraft that concealed the figure was suddenly lifted, and a huge green figure appeared in front of everyone.
In order to avoid disturbing ordinary people, under normal circumstances, the Imperial Dragon Knights would fly in stealth over the city.
The people who came were Pantos Kirk, the Imperial Guardian named "Storm Cloud", and his green dragon partner Hazas.
Upon seeing the man and the dragon, many nobles exclaimed:
"How can this green dragon be so big?"
"Yes, I remember seeing His Majesty Pentoskirk's green dragon once, and I remember it was not this big at that time."
Not only among the senior nobles, but even the group of strong men that Reginald was with, many people were quite surprised.
"This is impossible. Pantoskirk's green dragon Hazas is more than a hundred years younger than my yellow dragon. How could he enter the old dragon stage first?"
"Could it be that there is some treasure? But I haven't heard that Pantoskirk has explored any ancient ruins recently."
"Tsk tsk, it seems that the young man Ryan chose a very inappropriate time. He just happened to encounter the promotion of Pantoskirk's dragon?"
This made Perkins, who had originally made a bet with Reginald, laugh and said, "Haha, Your Majesty Reginald, I'm afraid your chances of winning are very small. Are you sure we want to continue the bet?"
"Haha, why not? Let's wait and see." After the initial surprise, Reginald immediately regained his composure and said.
"Could it be that His Majesty Reginald still thinks that young Lord Ryan has a chance to win?" This made Perkins joking.
Perkins' words immediately focused everyone's attention on Reginald.
Just as Reginald was about to speak, the two people in the venue spoke.
Ryan smiled faintly and said, "So this is what you rely on? A green dragon at the level of an old dragon?"
Ryan's indifference made Pantoskirk stare at him. After a pause, he heard him persuade him in the tone of an elder:
"Young man, it's not too late for you to admit defeat now."
"Perhaps one day, when you truly become an imperial dragon knight and have a giant dragon partner, it will be more appropriate for you to compete with me again."
If this was said in private, there would still be some sincerity, but in the current public eye, there would be no sincerity at all.
In fact, when the two stood on this arena, no one could easily retreat, whether it was Ryan or Pantoskirk.
"A green dragon of the old dragon level is not enough to make me admit defeat. It just so happens that I also brought a dragon." Ryan said with a mysterious smile.
"You?" Pantoskok's face was full of doubt.
After all, from all sources, the young man in front of him did not have a dragon partner. He had participated in the Imperial Dragon Knight Reserve Selection before. How could he suddenly have a dragon?
Ryan waved his hand towards the passage on the side, and a huge wooden box placed on a pulley was dragged in by eight strong bulls.
This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What on earth is this?"
"It doesn't look like a living thing."
"Click!"
As the buckle was loosened, the wooden boards on all sides fell down one after another, and a ferocious mechanical beast with a metallic luster under the sun appeared in front of everyone!
"What is this?" Many nobles opened their eyes wide and exclaimed.
After all, just from the opponent's huge body and sharp metal claws, it can be seen that once this big guy moves, the lethality is absolutely terrifying.
Many people in the strong stand on Reginald's side immediately recognized the origin of Ryan's "Mechanical Tyrannosaurus".
"This is a mechanical creation imitating ancient dinosaurs."
"It seems to be ancient goblin technology?"
"Yes, I have seen similar descriptions when exploring ancient goblin ruins."
Seeing Ryan's mechanical magic Tyrannosaurus, Pantoskok's face was relieved and said, "So this is where your confidence lies. Haha, Lord Ryan, you will soon see the difference between a machine and a real dragon."
"Hazard, let's say hello to this young Lord Ryan." Pantoskok patted the back of the green dragon Hazard, and the man and the dragon immediately flew into the air.
Although Pantoskok was not good at mechanical creation, judging from the appearance, he concluded that Ryan's mechanical Tyrannosaurus could not fly, and did not seem to be good at long-range attacks. Therefore, he immediately determined the tactics and fought in the air, thus being invincible.
"Ang!!!"
Hazas roared in the air and immediately performed the acid breath!
A large mass of dark green acid spewed out of Hazas's bloody mouth, pouring down from the air like a green waterfall.
But this was not over yet. Pantoskok silently recited a spell and waved his cyan crystal cane. A strong hurricane swept towards Ryan.
The acid was blessed by the hurricane, and its speed and power were increased several times.
The simple dragon breath plus the wind witchcraft exerted a power that was almost as powerful as the morning light killing move. Pantoskok's move immediately won praise from many people.
"The biggest problem with mechanical creations is that they are made of metal. Under the corrosion of acid, they will soon lose their combat effectiveness."
"Your Majesty Pantoskok has rich combat experience. In comparison, although this young Lord Ryan is lucky enough to obtain such a mechanical creation during the exploration of the ancient goblin ruins, it is a pity that he does not know the intelligence of his opponent."
"Yes, it is a pity that such an ancient mechanical creation with epic combat power is about to be destroyed. Your Majesty Reginald, why don't you come forward and tell this young Lord Ryan to admit defeat now?"
The same idea also popped up in Pantoskok's mind, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. Through the green acid rain curtain, he saw two red spots that suddenly lit up.
The instinctive perception of danger made him immediately control Hazas to move slightly.
The next moment!
"Chi!"
Two red energy beams came from behind and arrived first. They instantly passed through the acid rain curtain and hit the lower abdomen and left flesh wing of the green dragon Hazas!
At the same time, the acid rain curtain poured down on the tall mechanical Tyrannosaurus like hail.
The attacks of both sides hit each other almost at the same time!
"What!"
"Trade injury for injury?"
Everyone's heart was immediately suspended. Unexpectedly, both sides were injured as soon as they fought.
How could this be a competition?
This is more fierce than a duel!
"You!!" Pantoskok's face was gloomy, staring at Ryan.
"Because there is no doubt that you will lose, you also want to hurt Hazas to satisfy your unwilling desire to win? Sure enough, I was right, Ryan, your character is completely unsuitable to be the guardian of the empire."
The sound of corrosion rang out from the mechanical Tyrannosaurus, and a lot of smelly smoke came out. The originally bright metallic luster was now corroded into pits and pits, and some of the lines at the junction were even damaged.
In the eyes of everyone, although Ryan injured Pantoskok's green dragon with this attack, the mechanical Tyrannosaurus was more damaged.
"Oh? There is no doubt that you will lose?"
"Who gave you such blind confidence?" Ryan couldn't help but feel a little funny.
His Majesty, Baoyun, really thinks too highly of himself.
As Ryan spoke, he flashed and came to the side of the Mechanical Demon Tyrannosaurus. As he pressed his palm, a strong dark silver metallic light began to ripple from his palm, covering the tall body of the Mechanical Demon Tyrannosaurus.
This was exactly the core skill "Quick Repair (Active)" that Ryan had after he changed his job to a Goblin Engineering Expert.
Every time the dark silver ripples covered the bumpy metal surface of the Mechanical Demon Tyrannosaurus, these holes were repaired several times, as if wrinkled clothes were gradually smoothed by an electric iron.
After just a few seconds, the Mechanical Demon Tyrannosaurus returned to its original state. This scene naturally stunned everyone.
"Is this... some kind of metal witchcraft?"
"No wonder His Excellency Ryan chose to use this ancient goblin machine to fight. The effect of this witchcraft is simply too compatible with metal machinery."
The imperial guardians naturally recognized the core skill that Ryan used as some rare metal witchcraft.
After all, metal wizards are rare, and Ryan's "Quick Repair" is actually using metal energy particles, so it's normal to have such a misunderstanding.
"You" Pantoskek's eyes widened, pointing at Ryan, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Because in comparison, Hazard's injuries could not be healed quickly, so from this point of view, what he just said was ruthlessly ironic of himself.
This made Pantoskek a little angry.
He was slightly red in the face, and he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "It seems that I still underestimated you, but who will win or lose is still unknown!"
"Hazard, sleeping poison cloud!"
Hazard, who was injured and in pain, looked at Ryan with hatred at this moment, and immediately spit out a large cloud of dark green fog at Ryan.
Compared with the previous acid breath, the power of this cloud of poison is naturally much greater. It is the killer move - sleeping poison cloud.
Even the defensive witch formations could not resist this kind of thick fog with a sleeping effect. Only when light curtains rose up in the stands could they barely keep the thick fog out.
"Is this the sleeping poison cloud?"
Ryan had naturally heard of Pantoskok's famous trick.
It is said that once you are infected by this poison cloud, you will fall into a deep sleep instantly, as if you were pulled into a dream. Only with a strong mental strength can you be immune.
You have to know that in a duel between strong men, not to mention sleeping for one second, even 0.1 second can determine the outcome.
Therefore, as long as you are hit, the outcome is almost decided!
As the poison cloud spread, it soon covered most of the venue, and Ryan's figure was immediately shrouded in it.
"You didn't hide?" Everyone exclaimed when they saw Ryan's scene.
"It's not that I don't want to hide, it's that I can't hide."
"Level 1 Witchcraft Strong Wind Strike
!"
"Level 2 Witchcraft Gale Cut!"
"Level 3 Witchcraft Tornado Storm!" "Level 4 Witchcraft Hurricane Vortex
!" "Morning Light Killer Move "Storm's Fury!"
As Pantoskok chanted loudly, a tornado that was extremely compressed and condensed, and kept flashing with cold light, appeared in front of him.
Although the diameter of this tornado was only a few meters, it was wrapped with a large number of sharp and unmatched wind blades. The vortex of the tornado, coupled with the sharp wind blades, would undoubtedly tear the enemy to pieces in an instant once it hits the enemy!
"Go!" Pantoskok shouted angrily!
This wind-type morning light killer move 'Storm' struck at Ren, who was already covered by poisonous fog, like lightning!
On the strong stand.
"Hiss~ This. Pantoskok is obviously really angry. Your Majesty Reginald, are we really not going to stop him? I'm afraid your friend..."
"From the looks of it, this competition has completely turned into a duel! "
Wait, I think we still can't intervene. What if, Lord Ryan has the means to fight back, wouldn't that hinder the normal operation?" Perkins, who made a bet with Reginald, said with a smile.
It can be seen that the other party said this with a bit of watching the show.
"Huh? Did you hear it? What's that sound?" A guardian frowned.
Everyone pricked up their ears, only to feel a buzzing sound coming from the poisonous cloud.
The next moment, the battle in the venue suddenly changed!
A dark silver metal disc stirred the poisonous cloud, flew out with a "whoosh", and collided with the condensed tornado of Pantoskok like lightning!
"Boom!!! "
I saw Chenxi's killer move 'Storm' exploded under the attack of external force!
A white air wave mixed with dense wind blades emitting cold light, suddenly swept around like a tsunami.
The defensive witch array originally added to the surface of the royal arena and the pillars on the surrounding walls, unexpectedly exploded, as if it could not withstand the energy explosion fluctuations of this moment.
Although the upper end of the mushroom cloud had been weakened by the witch array, it also rushed straight into the sky hundreds of meters high.
The people of nearly half of the imperial capital heard the explosion this time, and they couldn't help but look back at the location of the palace.
"Could it be that another incarnation of the evil god has come to attack the imperial capital?"
"It doesn't seem like it. This time it only sounded once. The previous time, the thunder-like sound lasted for a long time."
"What's going on?"
The people who didn't know the truth immediately started to talk.
"Oh!!! "
The smoke and dust had not yet completely dissipated, and there was a sound of a giant dragon's wail and a heavy object falling to the ground.
"This seems to be the voice of Hazas."
The top nobles in the stands of the arena looked at each other, and looked at the smoke and dust with an anxious look of anticipation, as if they wanted to see through the smoke and dust and determine the outcome of the competition as soon as possible.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated.
Ryan's figure seemed to still stand there motionless, but Pantoskirk on the opposite side was kneeling on one knee, stroking the left side of his abdomen with his right hand. A clear wound almost cut off half of his waist, and his giant dragon partner Hazas was even worse!
The right flesh wing was almost cut off, leaving only less than half a meter of flesh membrane connecting the torso, and the dragon head was stepped into the ground by Ryan's mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex with one foot.
Although he kept struggling, he was powerless to resist.
Seeing this scene, for a while, the huge royal arena was silent!
