The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 254 Crushing Hammer (Two chapters in one)

Ryan's extremely high mental power can clearly sense that the strength of the male Naga in front of him is far beyond that of an ordinary male Naga. This can be seen from the opponent's body size.

Compared to him, the average male Naga can only reach his chest and is two times smaller in size.

In addition, the opponent's aura that shocked the entire audience was something that Ryan had never felt before, even among the top knights of mankind.

It is obvious that the opponent's strength far exceeds that of everyone here!

Including him, and also Captain Batista.
The movements of the sea creatures also confirmed Ryan's guess.

All the sea creatures, including the female naga holding the wooden staff, nodded to the giant naga and said in unison in a strange language:

"Greetings to you, Lord Tidepiercer Rulgatz! (Naga language)"

Alyosha whispered beside Ryan: "The nickname of this monster is the Impaler. Sir Ryan, if you ever come face to face with it, be careful."

Ryan was slightly startled, and looked at Alyosha, thinking, didn't Javier say that his youngest daughter Alyosha was a pharmacist? Why does she look like an ancient linguist who knows the language of the sea people?

In addition, he found that Alyosha beside him did not have the fear he had before the battle. Instead, his eyes were shining, his nose was sweating, and his cheeks were red. He was obviously excited and full of confidence in him.

This made Ryan smile bitterly in his heart, 'Thank you! Girl, you have such confidence in me!'

However, judging from the opponent's powerful aura, I am afraid that I am not his opponent at the moment.
The heavyweight appearance of Tide Piercer Rulgatz immediately caused the momentum of the sea clan to rise sharply!

The white-scaled fishmen and naga looked at the human team that Ryan was in. There was no longer any worry on their faces. Instead, they all showed an expression of watching a show.

It seems to be saying, 'Hey, humans, you're dead.'

At this time, the female naga holding the wooden staff actually spoke. Although her words were not very fluent, they were indeed common language: "Human. Surrender! Surrendering will save you some pain."

"Otherwise, Lord Rulgatz will make you feel the extreme pain of being pierced!"

Ryan looked at the other person in surprise.

He had already noticed this female Blood Curse Naga. Her attire was different from the last one he killed. She was holding a long wooden staff in her hand and seemed to be a wizard. So, should she be more knowledgeable?

Can everyone speak the common language of mankind?

The scene before him made Captain Batista's already solemn face even more solemn.

He stared at the huge naga snaking towards him from behind and said in a deep voice, "Remire, lead everyone out. I will hold off this guy."

"Captain, I'll go with you."

"Yes, captain, we have so many people now, we may not lose, especially since we have Ray." Alves saw the determined expression on his captain's face, and he knew the other party's plan.

The captain intends to fight to the death to create opportunities for himself and others.

"No! Even if all of us were put together, we wouldn't be able to defeat it." Batista waved his hand and interrupted Alves.

"Remuel, prepare for action!" After Batista finished saying this, he quickly took out a bottle of blood-red potion from his arms and poured it directly into his mouth.

"Captain, no...you...you took the red shock potion?" Remiel looked horrified!
"This is a burst potion that overdraws the body. Even if taken under normal circumstances, one will become seriously ill and weak for at least a week. But judging from the physical condition of the sword-wielding captain in front of us, taking this potion is tantamount to suicide!"

Although Alyosha was young, he was already a senior pharmacist. Naturally, he knew at a glance what kind of potion Batista was taking, and immediately whispered to Ryan beside him.

Hearing what Alyosha said, Ryan raised his eyebrows and his face was moved.

His heart was deeply touched at this moment.

Whatever Batista's reason was.

For the glory of the empire?

For the team's mission evaluation?
Or something else.
While Lane wouldn't have chosen to do that himself, he respected Batista for doing so.

The other party is a real knight!

At this time, Ryan also sighed in his heart.

In that case, I should do something and not keep the 2 gold skill points I was just rewarded with.

After all, there is no reason to let teammates fight alone.

He planned to give it a try to see if he could break the current predicament.

But 2 gold skill points are not enough to upgrade any of the two intermediate secrets to the advanced level.

Shockwave needs to spend 2 gold skill points to upgrade Tokkar's Hammer Technique and Bear King's Breathing Technique to level 16, plus an additional 2 gold skill points required for the upgrade, for a total of 4 points.

Roaring War Cry also requires spending 1 gold skill point to upgrade the Bear King's Breathing Technique to level 16, plus an additional 3 gold skill points required for the upgrade, a total of 4 points.

In both cases, the Bear King's breathing method needs to be improved.

And hammer magic is still his most powerful extraordinary fighting skill.

So, without any hesitation, Ryan spent 2 gold skill points to upgrade both Tokkar's Hammer Technique and Bear King's Breathing Technique to level 16.

In an instant, two waves of training memories were instilled into Ryan's mind.
Although this increase in points did not allow Ryan to upgrade Shockwave to an advanced level, the power of Shockwave was greatly improved.

Now that the points have been added, it’s time to take action!
Just as Remiel was anxiously thinking about how to break through the obstruction of the group of sea creatures in front of him, he found that a figure holding a hammer suddenly rushed out from beside him.

Remiel's pupils shrank and he was stunned for a moment!
A flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

This... Isn't this Ryan?

Is this guy looking for death?
Before Remiel could react and figure out how to save Ryan, Ryan's voice was heard.

"Cover your ears!"

After hearing what Ryan said, Remiel had no idea what it meant.
But to Remiel's surprise, everyone around him did as he was told and covered their ears, and he was the only one who stood there in a daze, not moving a muscle.

The next second, he regretted it!

"Roar!!!"

It was as if hundreds of bear kings were roaring at the same time, and visible air vibrations were spreading in all directions with Ryan as the center.

The scene where Ryan killed a group of white-scaled fishmen in seconds in the Hall of Omens was reproduced!

But this time, there was one more person in the audience—Remuel.

But at this moment, Remiel was covering his ears with a look of pain!

Only now did he understand why Ryan had just said that - cover your ears!

That's to remind them!

I'm so stupid.
If you see others doing it, why not just do it yourself!

Now both eardrums feel tearing pain.
Fortunately, Ryan sneaked into the group of white-scaled fish before performing this move, and was already quite a distance away from Remiel.

Otherwise, the white-scaled fishmen beside Ryan at this moment would have the same fate as Remire.

All around Ryan, circles of white-scaled fishmen fell to the ground in unison, all with blood oozing from their ears, noses, and eyes.
The seven or eight male Blood Curse Nagas, caught off guard, covered their heads and wailed in pain.
Even the Naga leader, Stasha, covered her ears with her hands, with an extremely uncomfortable expression!

Even further away, Batista, the captain of the Rock Squad, who had been staring at the giant Naga, was frightened by Ryan's roar!

He seemed to want to look back, but was afraid that the big guy in front of him would take the opportunity to attack him, so he did not dare to turn his head.

The Tide Piercer Rulgatz also raised his ugly dragon head slightly and looked towards the entrance of the hall in surprise, as if to say, "How come this human has a louder voice than me!"

At the entrance of the lobby.

Ryan's blitzkrieg is not over yet!
He then jumped high, raised the sledgehammer above his head, the muscles in his arms bulged suddenly, and he hit the ground with a violent blow containing high-frequency vibrations.

"Bang!!!"

The moment the hammer head touches the ground!
I saw that the ground paved with bluestone slabs, a huge fan-shaped stone slabs were all shattered into rubble, and then these rubbles were blasted forward by the impact force like a tsunami.

The dense gravel that was accelerated was like bullets, attacking in all directions!
Immediately, a second wave of area damage was inflicted on those sea creatures that had just survived the "Roaring War Cry".

And with this attack, there was no white-scaled fishman left on the scene!
By the way, two male blood curse nagas also died.
These two poor guys were too close to Ryan and suffered almost 100% of the damage from the two intermediate ultimate skills without any reduction.

Ryan's two ultimate skills were used in succession to directly defeat the large number of sea creatures, turning them into an almost isolated force!

Now the only one on the other side is the Naga leader Stasha, who is relatively lightly injured. The other five surviving male Blood Curse Nagas are also seriously injured at this moment.

In just a few seconds, Ryan reversed the morale!
Although Remuel's eardrum was in severe pain, his eyes lit up as he watched!
He didn't expect that in this situation, they still had a chance to turn defeat into victory!
From this point of view, they can not only break out of the encirclement, but also rescue the captain and go back together.

Inspired by Ryan's explosive start, the elite soldiers of the empire rescued by Ryan waved their weapons and rushed towards the Naga!

Counterattack begins!
Especially those who had taken the weapons of the former four-armed naga leader Genis, all had the strength of a great knight, and equipped with high-quality weapons, their combat effectiveness was quite considerable.

So, the situation immediately reversed!

Looking at the scene in front of her, Stasha couldn't help but feel so angry that she wanted to vomit blood!

She had been driving this human team away with the aim of reducing the casualties among her followers.

But who could have imagined that things would go against one's wishes!

At this moment, more than 90% of her family members were killed or injured, and the only five remaining spouses were also injured.

But this scene happened in front of Lord Rulgatz, the Tide Piercer. Her own incompetence would inevitably spread throughout the entire Blood Cursed Naga tribe. How could she not be extremely angry!

Just when the battle situation seemed to be going well, suddenly, a sharp sound of metal clashing was heard behind everyone.

Immediately afterwards, there was a violent friction sound of "hissing"!
Ryan glanced and saw Batista holding a steel shield, his body slightly leaning forward, in a defensive posture, and two grooves plowed by plate armor boots appeared on the ground.

The left hand of the giant naga, Tidepiercer Rulgatz, was still in a state of being able to strike at will!
Ryan keenly noticed that the nearly two-meter-long pointed-tail conch in the other party's left hand was emitting a bright blue light, and several streams of water suddenly appeared around it.

The blow that repelled Batista should have been a perfect combination of some kind of innate water witchcraft and physical strength.

Batista shouted again without turning his head: "Remire! Take the people away quickly, I can't hold on for much longer!"

After hearing Batista's words, Remiel, who was in a daze, finally reacted.

Everyone also understood instantly that if no one could defeat the giant Naga, the whole battle situation would not be reversed. He skillfully performed a certain magic, and the next second, a large cloud of thick fog appeared in front of him. Remiel quickly waved the short staff in his hand, and the cloud of thick fog rushed into the middle of the Naga fighting with everyone.

"retreat!!"

While Remiel was shouting, he threw out several round objects that looked like grenades.

After hearing Remiel's reminder, everyone, including Ryan, immediately fought fiercely with the Nagas in front of them, and then used the force to fly back!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosion once again produced a choking cloud of smoke.

The thick smoke and fog made it impossible for the Blood Curse Naga to see the scene in front of them clearly.

Ryan also realized that the grenade-like explosion he heard in the passage was caused by Remire.

I have to say that witchcraft combined with this little gadget is very useful for retreat.

Alyosha looked at Ryan, who was rapidly retreating with her, and couldn't help but show regret!

"Even someone as strong as Lord Ryan is unable to turn the tables and win?"

"Reality is not a fairy tale after all," sighed the young girl who was devoted to research.

Even with Alyosha, Ryan ran very fast and soon reached the front of the team.

However, when they reached a bend not far away, Ryan stopped immediately after turning in.

"You guys protect Alyosha, I'll be back soon." Ryan said to the people who followed him.

"Sir Ryan," a female knight couldn't help but remind him.

Although Lord Ryan was already very powerful in their eyes, no matter how powerful he was, he could never be a match for that giant naga!

Everyone couldn't help but stop briefly at the corner and watched Ryan rush back again.

In fact, Ryan has been waiting!
He is waiting for the system's prompt.

Just after he turned the corner, the system prompt came:

[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +1113]

[Congratulations, you defeated the powerful enemy and obtained 2 gold skill points! ]

What Ryan was waiting for were these two golden skill points.

The system's mechanism was a bit like the games in his previous life. After careful observation so many times, he found that the system would only calculate experience rewards after leaving the battle.

If you don't leave the battle, the system will regard it as a continuous battle.

So, this is why Ryan ran just now.

While rushing towards the thick fog, Ryan added these two gold skill points to the intermediate ultimate skill "Shock Wave" without hesitation.

To upgrade the intermediate skill 'Shockwave' to the advanced skill, the following conditions must be met: 16. Tokkar Hammer Technique lv16 or above; 2. Bear King Breathing Technique lv or above. . Consume gold skill points.

Ryan had already met the first two requirements.

And now, the third item is also satisfied!
Instantly, a torrent of Shockwave training memories flooded into Ryan's mind! It was as if Ryan had been concentrating on practicing the hammer technique 'Shockwave' for more than ten years in a mysterious space.

The system prompt also appears again:
[Congratulations, you have mastered the advanced secret of hammer technique: Crushing Hammer! ]

"Crushing Hammer?"

"Advanced Secret!"

A smile appeared on Ryan's lips!
On the Weapon Master (Legend) panel, the hammer technique's ultimate skill 'Shockwave' has also been changed to 'Crushing Hammer'.

The icon has also changed.

The pattern turned into a dark heavy hammer, which smashed on the boulder. Half of the boulder turned into small stones and splashed away, which vividly depicted the crushing process!
At the bottom right of the icon, the small text also changed:

Crushing Hammer (Advanced Secret) Effect: Use a special hammer swinging technique that combines the Force with ultra-high frequency vibrations to deliver a powerful blow that can crush most tangible objects.

（注：粉碎之锤提升至顶级奥义，需满足下列条件：一、任意超凡锤术lv18以上；二、熊王呼吸法lv18以上；三、力量45点，敏捷38点，体质40点以上；四、消耗黄金技能点4点。）
"This is."

"Have you begun to move away from a specific hammer technique?"

Ryan keenly noticed the difference in the notes.

The advanced secret skill 'Crushing Hammer' no longer requires Tokkar's Hammer Technique, but instead requires any extraordinary hammer technique above level 18.

In addition, to advance to the top level, there are additional physical attribute requirements.

As Ryan ran, he glanced at the system properties panel.

Name: Ryan Callan

Constitution: 32
Power: 33
Agility: 32
Spirit: 39
Attribute points remaining: 13
Skill points remaining: 1
Gold skill points: 0
Just as Ryan returned to the original place again, he saw a wounded male Blood Curse Naga suddenly rushing out of the thick fog, intending to chase everyone aggressively.

However, without the interference of the thick fog, he immediately discovered that the human boy who made him afraid did not run away, but rushed towards him instead.

This made his face change immediately!
He was very afraid of the fighting ability that Ryan had shown before.

But on second thought, he thought that as long as he could block the attack of the human boy in front of him, the other brothers would arrive, and then the other party would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

In this case, Stasha should reward him with extra favors, maybe ten times?

But the idea is good, but the reality is cruel!

When he swung the trident with all his strength to block the hammer from Ryan.

He was shocked to find that although Ryan's hammer seemed slow, it was actually fast. Before he raised his trident above his chest, Ryan's dark heavy hammer had already touched his forehead.

How come it wasn't blocked?

This was his last thought before he died, with a puzzled look on his face.

The next second, his entire body shattered into pieces!
That's right!

The whole person!

From beginning to end, all over!
The hard bones, tough cartilage and fascia, and strong muscle tissue all burst!
It became a pool of tiny pieces of blood and flesh that splattered everywhere.

Looking at the effect of the attack in front of him, Ryan couldn't help but be stunned!
The crushing hammer is so terrifying!
Even the extremely resilient fascia was shattered. This kind of crushing force made Ryan feel too overbearing!
So overbearing and unreasonable!
However, Ryan also clearly felt a sense of weakness in his body, as well as soreness in his muscles and fascia!

He found that using the advanced secret technique 'Crushing Hammer' required extremely high physical fitness, but this was reasonable.

After Ryan came to the Sword Bearer, he heard that not every top knight had mastered the advanced secrets.

His current situation is a typical case of 'a small horse pulling a big cart'!
He has mastered advanced secrets, but his physical fitness is just barely at the level of a senior knight.

That’s why the current situation has occurred.

Ryan could feel that with his current physical condition, he could only use the hammer twice at most and would not be able to use the crushing hammer for the third time.

At this time, the second male Blood Curse Naga also rushed out bravely.

However, when he saw Ryan and the pool of blood mist on the ground, before he could figure out the connection between the two, he followed in his brother's footsteps.

With a "bang", it turned into a pool of blood and flesh!
Faced with the physical exhaustion, Ryan added a little more strength to his body without any hesitation.

Physical condition has returned to its peak again!

Afterwards, Ryan followed the rhythm of two hammers plus one point.

"Bang, bang, bang!" After a few consecutive sounds, all the male blood-cursed Nagas were killed.

One hammer each!
No two hammers!

At this time, the Naga leader Stasha, holding a wooden staff and with a layer of water shield that was glowing blue and constantly surrounding her body, rushed out of the thick fog.

When she saw five pools of blood and flesh on the ground, but her spouses were missing, she suddenly became a little confused.

The next second, she came back to her senses, pointed at the rotten meat on the ground with a look of shock and anger, and screamed:
"You... you killed them all?!"

Facing Stasha's question, Ryan's response was a 'crushing hammer' on the head!
"Oh!"

In an instant, the light blue light of the water shield was dimmed by one blow!

The hammer blow was so powerful that Stasha's face turned pale!

She knew too well the defensive capabilities of her shield. Several of her spouses must have been killed by Ryan.

In addition, Stasha was almost certain that as long as Ryan delivered another blow like he did just now, he would be able to break her water shield!
So, at this moment her heart was also filled with horror!

Indeed, if it was an ordinary great knight, even if he had mastered advanced secrets, his power would not be as exaggerated as Ryan's at this moment.

There are two main reasons. First, other people may not have Ryan's level 3 hammer expertise. Second, Ryan also has the bonus of the talent 'Intermediate Giant Strength'.

The combination of these two makes Ryan's hammer technique extremely powerful!
With a "pop", the water shield shattered like an egg!

Stasha screamed, and a slightly hasty mental shock hit Ryan, and almost at the same time, Ryan's sledgehammer broke Stasha's water shield and hit her head.

Stasha suddenly fell down limply.

Ryan frowned, his whole body swayed slightly, and he felt dizzy at this moment.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a sturdy human knight flew out from the thick fog.

The opponent was blown away by the huge impact force, sliding all the way to a few meters in front of Ryan's feet, and then stopped, vomiting blood.
It was Batista, the captain of the Rock Squad who stayed behind to cover their retreat.

At this time, the thick fog gradually dissipated
The giant naga, Rulgatz the Tide Piercer, appeared. The huge figure exuded a dangerous aura and moved towards them at a leisurely pace.
