Chapter 268: Destroying the Strong! (Two chapters in one)

In an instant, Claire understood the enemy's plan.

The opponent was afraid that Ryan would use a decapitation tactic, so he cast an evil spell that looked like a "tracking mark" on her. The opponent's giant axe golem would chase her and kill her based on the location of the mark.

This not only eliminates the possibility of Ryan wanting to carry out beheading, but also, if she cannot escape the golem's pursuit, Ryan will be forced to confront the golem head-on.

Although Ryan had just used a powerful hammer technique to knock down a golem weighing more than ten tons with one blow, Claire didn't think Ryan could perform such a powerful attack many times.

After all, people always get tired, and fighting consumes a lot of physical energy, especially the powerful secrets that Ryan displayed, which must be extremely exhausting.

Once Ryan gets involved in a fight with the giant axe golem, the rhythm of the entire battle will be controlled by the opponent.

The opponent can control the golem while casting various weakening spells on Ryan.

Ultimately, if Ryan is exhausted or makes a mistake, the overall victory can be easily achieved.

After figuring this out, Claire retreated quickly while anxiously shouting to Ryan, "Ryan, the other party wants to force you to fight the golem."

"Don't be fooled!"

Deep down, Claire hoped that Ryan would come to save her, but from a rational point of view, this was naturally not a good choice.

Galina showed a hint of scorn on her face at Claire's behavior.

She had just discovered that the young gold-level swordsman in front of her had a fatal weakness, which was that his mission this time seemed to be to protect the beautiful daughter of Count Habsburg.

This can be seen from the fact that when Bison Biddals attacked the enemy's formation from the rear, the enemy gave up the attack and returned to guard.

From this perspective, the death of 'Bison' Bidars is not without value.

It still has some effect.

In addition, the strength of the earl's daughter is a little weak. If she were a great knight, it would be more difficult to deal with her, but if she were a peak knight, it would be almost impossible for her to escape the pursuit of the golem guards.

And this time she didn't intend to care about whether it was a mission or not.

Her primary goal now is to kill the young gold-level swordsman in front of her.

Because now she has lost two capable men, if she does it just to gain Laxul's favor, it will be totally not worth it.

But if a gold-level swordsman can be killed, these losses will be worth it, and even a little more sacrifice can be made.

Because if she succeeds, she will definitely be commended by the church's top leaders and receive rewards from the great hunting god during the Black Flame Prayer Ceremony.

As for the mission that Laxulto asked him to do - to capture the Earl's daughter alive, it is now completely unimportant.

Who knows, she might be Laxul's boss by then.

Thinking of this, Galina's mouth curled up slightly.

But the smile lasted less than a second before she was stunned!

Suddenly, a tall, black, one-horned warhorse jumped out from the thick fog. It lowered its head slightly, allowing the earl's daughter to successfully mount it.

"Xilulu!"

After carrying Claire on its back, the trotting wildebeest Xiao Hei raised its head and let out a roar, then immediately used its innate ability of "Quick Walk". Its agile figure was like an arrow shot from a bow, and it rushed straight into the distance with a "whoosh"!

In comparison, the speed of the giant axe golem guard is completely inadequate, like an eighty-year-old woman staggering after Bolt.

Claire, riding on 'Little Black', was getting further and further away from the golem guards behind her, and she was now safe.

In other words, Galina's plan failed almost as soon as it was implemented!

Ryan looked at this scene with a smile on his face.

Even though Claire hadn't reminded him just now, after the other party performed a spell similar to 'Tracking Mark', Ryan roughly guessed the other party's possible back-up plan.

Therefore, he immediately ordered the trotting wildebeest 'Xiao Hei' to wait at the rear.

Sure enough, it worked wonders!

Ryan walked towards Galina calmly and said, "It seems your plan failed."

Before Galina could answer, Ryan left the range of the other party's evil magic and tapped the ground with his toes. In an instant, the ground cracked and a circular air wave lifted up large pieces of soil and hit the surroundings.

With the help of the powerful reaction force, Ryan, holding the skull hammer, rushed towards Galina like a silver lightning!

The opponent's decapitation tactic failed, so now it is naturally Ryan's turn to perform the decapitation.

When Galina saw Ryan coming at her at high speed, her face immediately became serious and she quickly chanted a spell. The next second, a figure exactly like her suddenly appeared on her left and right sides.

I saw two figures, who knew whether they were phantoms or not, running in two different directions.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly.

Because he discovered that the three phantoms of the opponent all had an aura similar to that of a real person.

However, Ryan did not hesitate at all, but continued to rush towards the figure at the beginning.

At this time, the three figures made identical movements with their hands, all forming seals with their hands on their chests, as if they were beginning to perform the same evil spell.

"Crushing Hammer!"

Ryan swung the skull hammer in his hand and struck the opponent's charming face hard!
However, the figure of Galina in front of him did not dodge or evade, but instead revealed a charming smile.

In an instant, the three figures made the same movement, pointing their fingers towards Ryan, and a stream of black air shot straight towards Ryan from the tip of their slender index fingers!

"Boom!"

The moment Ryan's skull hammer hit the opponent, it was like hitting an illusory bubble.

Although the 'Galina' in front of him was smashed to pieces by a hammer, the feeling of no force made Ryan realize instantly that he did not hit the opponent's entity.

In addition, Ryan was unable to dodge the three black air streams that attacked him and was hit by one of them, causing his movement speed to drop immediately.

Seeing that Ryan was hit by the single-target slowing spell, the two phantoms of Galina chuckled at the same time.

The next second, another phantom of Galina appeared behind them.

This scene made Ryan slightly stunned!
He was very sure that he should have hit the opponent's real body, but he didn't expect that it was actually an illusion. This should be the peculiarity of the opponent's witchcraft or sorcery.

This is quite tricky.

Because if he cannot find out the opponent's true identity, no matter how many times the phantom kills, it will soon recover and appear again like this time, and the efforts he just made will be in vain.

At this moment, three phantoms of Galina cast spells at the same time again.

However, this time, the opponent still did not use any evil magic to attack, but once again used the almost instantaneous black beam of light representing the "tracking mark".

But this time the target was not Claire. Instead, the black beam instantly shone on Ryan.

A faint black light appeared above Ryan's head.

Immediately, Ryan understood the other party's plan.

Obviously, he wanted the Giant Axe Golem Guard to give up chasing Claire and chase him instead!

At this moment, he was hit by the opponent's evil slowdown spell and his movements were slow. Once caught up, he would be in a very uncomfortable situation under the attack from both sides.

Sure enough, the sound of heavy footsteps, "dong dong dong", was approaching this place rapidly from a distance.

The situation was very unfavorable to him.

Of course, it’s not that Ryan doesn’t have a solution, but he doesn’t want to use it so soon.

The opponent was a little far away from him at the moment, and Ryan planned to use that thing when he was more confident of killing the opponent.

"but."

"If there are only three phantoms, there is a solution."

Ryan's eyes were calm, holding the sledgehammer, and he rushed towards the nearest phantom again!

Seeing that Ryan, who was hit by the slow spell, was still so determined to kill her phantom first, Galina immediately looked sarcastic.

"He's very strong, but his brain doesn't seem to be working very well."

"Perhaps, I can kill him alone without the cooperation of the giant axe golem."

Galina did not dodge Ryan's attack this time, but chanted the spell again.

Judging from the content of the other party's spell, Ryan seemed to be different from the previous two sorceries.

It is very likely that this time the opponent is preparing a more powerful attack towards the evil magic!
In Galina's opinion, although Ryan could continue to destroy one of her phantoms, the other party would immediately be attacked by her "Exploding Black Flame".

She didn't believe that the other party could resist it unscathed.

Once the opponent is injured, he will immediately fall into a passive cycle, and will be subjected to negative sorcery to slow down his movements again, and continue to suffer from her "Exploding Black Flame" attacks until he collapses.

This is the shortcoming of the Knight's Path. If a great knight does not have anything that can dispel negative effects, he will be very passive.

Suddenly, just as Ryan hit Galina's phantom with a hammer, a ferocious war dog the size of a pony jumped out from the side of Galina's other two phantoms, and a bird of prey with blue and purple feathers swooped down from the sky! Suddenly, Galina's three figures were attacked by Ryan and his two pets at the same time!

The phantom in front of Ryan was shattered by a hammer!
The phantom of the swooping Bloodfeather Hippogryph dissipated like foam under the attack of its sharp claws.

Next to the last figure, the greyhound war dog 'Cookie' bit down on a flexible black membrane.

Although she failed to bite through the black membrane, this undoubtedly exposed Galina's real body's position.

At the same time, the sudden attack interrupted the evil spell "Exploding Black Flame" that Galina was about to perform.

This made Galina's face suddenly turn ugly.

'Eyes of enchantment!'

Galina stared into Cookie's dog eyes and used a rare pupil technique. The next second, Cookie stupidly changed the direction of attack and rushed towards Ryan.

At this moment, the Galina Cookie saw was Ryan, and Ryan was Galina.

Cookie's obstruction made Ryan speechless, and he slapped him aside. However, due to this delay, the giant axe golem guard behind him caught up and suddenly launched an attack from behind Ryan!

I saw a cold light with a radius of about six meters flash by!

Anyone caught in the radius, whether a knight or a cultist, will be killed in one blow!
After Ryan dodged with a jump, he lost the opportunity to chase Galina.

The giant axe golem behind immediately caught up. This time, the attack it launched was no longer a sweeping axe, but a heavy axe chop from top to bottom towards Ryan's head!
Just as Ryan was about to dodge, suddenly, two huge hands made of black energy emerged from the ground and grabbed Ryan's plate armor boots, holding them tightly.

The caster was Galina in the distance.

Having succeeded in her attack, Galina laughed excitedly: "Haha! You've been caught in my evil spirit's grip!"

Maybe it was because the pressure Ryan put on her just now was too great, Galina was inexplicably excited that she had the advantage again this time!
In Galina's opinion, Ryan could not make a comeback.

Because she really couldn't think of how a great knight could turn the tables in this situation!

This critical scene immediately made everyone around feel anxious again!

The battle between Lord Ryan and the cult leader before their eyes was extremely exciting and opened their eyes!

If someone else faced this kind of crisis on the field, there would be a high probability that they would be hopeless. But Lord Ryan is different. He was able to escape danger in the previous two battles. So can he turn the tide this time?
Everyone watched nervously to see how Ryan would resolve this crisis.

Facing the huge axe that was chopping down heavily, Ryan sighed softly!

"Ugh!"

Following this light but unusually clear sigh, a dark tower shield suddenly appeared in Ryan's left hand. He raised it high and used the intermediate secret 'Iron Wall' again!
"clang!!!"

Violent sparks flew everywhere!
blocked!
Although almost half of Ryan's body was smashed into the ground, he managed to hold on!
"What is going on?" Everyone was stunned!
This time, both our side and the enemy cultists saw clearly that Ryan was originally holding a war hammer in his hand, but what was going on now?
How come there is suddenly an extra tower shield!
Magic tricks?

"The thing in your hand is wrong! This is the metal magic 'Metal Transfiguration'!" Galina realized something instantly, her eyes widened and she said.

Because as a sorcerer, she just sensed a relatively obvious fluctuation of witchcraft energy.

"You're also a wizard part-time?!"

"But it's still not right!"

"Even if you master the rare metal transformation technique, it is impossible to change metal so quickly!!"

"This is impossible!"

"I understand! You actually... You actually use metal transfiguration as a natural witchcraft." Galina's muttering to herself revealed Ryan's secret!
Claire looked at Ryan in front of her with a confused look on her face.

As the daughter of an earl and a student at the Imperial Royal Academy, she naturally had an extraordinary vision, so she also saw that Ryan was actually a rare metal wizard!
this.
Some things are no longer a killer once they are shown, which is why Ryan has been hiding them.

It would be fine for ordinary people or knights who don't know witchcraft, but most formal wizards have a wide range of knowledge. Once Ryan performs in public, the other party will be able to see some clues.

However, this is not Ryan's strongest weapon. Delaying exposure is also to cause the enemy to misjudge.

Faced with a giant stone golem over five meters tall, even though Ryan had a natural talent for strength and had mastered many mysteries, he did not want to fight this big guy head-on.

This golem weighs more than ten tons, and each strike is powerful enough that a head-on collision is extremely exhausting!
The problem now is that Galina keeps tripping Ryan up, forcing Ryan to fight hard against the giant axe golem guard!

Originally, if the golem didn't have that layer of black light, Ryan would only need to find the right opportunity and hit a certain part such as the knee, ankle, etc. multiple times to quickly destroy the opponent's mobility.

But the problem was that the layer of black light absorbed almost all the damage, making Ryan's attack almost ineffective.

After Ryan jumped out of the half-man-deep pit, Slowness and Grip of Evil Power attacked again!
This forced Ryan to use 'Iron Wall' again to block the giant axe golem's slash, but the next second, Ryan used the advanced secret 'Crushing Hammer' towards the giant axe golem again!
As the giant axe golem was knocked down by Ryan, there was no worry on Galina's face.

On the contrary, her charming eyes became even brighter!

"Turns out he's just a half-baked wizard. I was worried for nothing!"

"Even if you are gifted, how much energy do you have left to launch this kind of attack?" Galina shouted in her heart.

This time, Ryan discovered that the flash of black light on the giant axe golem seemed to be a little dimmer.

In other words, his attack was actually effective, and the opponent's defense was showing a downward trend.

No matter whether the opponent relies on the array patterns on the surface to absorb energy, or relies on some kind of energy core in the body to drive the defensive formation, as long as the blows suffered are enough and heavy enough, the opponent's membrane will be broken sooner or later!
After realizing this, Ryan immediately increased his strength a little.

In an instant, Ryan, whose physical strength was restored to its peak, once again performed the advanced hammer technique of "Crushing Hammer"!
What followed was Ryan’s solo show.

Because everyone present was looking at the scene in shock!
The two-meter-tall "little guy" Ryan was seen holding a war hammer. With one blow, he knocked down the giant axe golem that was more than five meters tall and weighed more than ten tons.

As soon as the opponent got up, he was knocked to the ground again by Ryan!
This process repeats itself over and over again.

The scene before our eyes was as if a three-year-old child was holding a small wooden hammer, repeatedly knocking a grown man to the ground.

The whole picture makes people feel extremely uncomfortable!
Although the previous battle between Ryan and Galina was fierce, it was more based on experience.

But the scene in front of him was different. Ryan's performance was completely inhuman.

Many knights cried out in their hearts, thinking that the huge golem in front of them was a monster, but now they realized that Lord Ryan was the real monster!

At this moment, Galina was staring at Ryan with her charming eyes.

My mind is blank!
"What the hell is this?"

This thought suddenly popped up in Galina's mind.

"Master Priest, Master Priest, something bad has happened! Look! The energy core is about to run out!"

I saw a Black Flame monk next to me running over quickly with an anxious look on his face, holding something similar to a wisdom slate in his hand, with a progress bar on it.

Now, the progress bar is close to the bottom line and flashes from time to time, as if it is some kind of reminder.

When Galina saw this scene, she turned around and left without saying anything!

Meeting someone who can defeat force with force and smash the giant axe golem... No... This kind of monster!

What else could she say?
'bang'

Then another dull crash sounded!
This time, the black light on the giant axe golem no longer flickered, and the "Crushing Hammer" cast by Ryan finally hit the golem itself directly!

You know, when Ryan mastered the intermediate secret of 'Shock Wave', he had already knocked down the Obsidian Giant with one hammer, thus earning the nickname 'Meister's Battering Ram'.

But now, he has mastered the advanced secret of "Crushing Hammer". Without the defense of the black light, Ryan can directly hit a hole the size of a washbasin in the chest and abdomen of the giant axe golem with one blow!

Suddenly, the golem's internal structure was destroyed to pieces!
The five-meter-tall golem guard collapsed and never moved again.
But for Ryan, the battle is not over yet!

Galina is still at large.

Some fearless diehard members of the Black Flame Cult actually shouted, "For Priestess Galina! For the God of Hunting!" and rushed towards Ryan!

Ryan didn't stop for a moment, but his chest suddenly swelled, veins popped out on his neck, and his mouth opened wide!
"Roar!!!"

A violent airflow accompanied by deafening sound waves swept in all directions!
All of a sudden, these cultists had stunned expressions on their faces as the strong wind tore and deformed their entire faces, and their eardrums ruptured instantly!

Within a radius of nearly twenty meters, all the cultists, for a moment, all maintained an offensive posture and stood still on the spot!

next second!
"Puff! Puff!"

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard!
Dozens of cultists were laid out in a large semicircle like wheat being cut, with their bodies neatly falling outwards!

So many gray-robed cultists couldn't stop Ryan for even a second.

Followed by a horse neighing "Xilulu"!
The trotting wildebeest 'Little Black' jumped out from the side, and Ryan leaped up and chased in the direction of Galina.

Although Blood Feather was affected by the mist at the moment and could not guide the enemy's direction, Ryan had already let Cookie track the opponent.

With Cookie's guidance in front, Ryan quickly closed the distance between the two.

At this time, Galina's originally charming face turned ferocious. She knew that if she couldn't slow down the opponent's pursuit speed, she would be caught up soon.

She had considered waiting for Ryan to get close and then using pupil techniques to attack him.

But when I think about the fact that the other party is also a formal wizard, his mental strength must be strong, and the effect of the pupil technique is likely to be extremely poor, or even backfire!
This made Galina give up the idea of ​​using pupil techniques.

After thinking for a while, she pulled off a crystal pendant from her neck, her face showing a look of heartache, but she still crushed it in an instant and pointed it towards the back!
