The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 275: Wizard Ryan (two chapters in one)

Alex, holding the gold-engraved book, rushed to the front. His captains Langgel and Fry, holding swords and shields, immediately released two light green air currents.

As the light green air flow lingered around Langgel's legs, it was obvious that Langgel, wearing heavy knight armor, felt a lot lighter and his movement speed increased by at least 10% or 20%.

The beneficial effect of the light green airflow on Fry is a little stronger.

Fry, wearing leather armor, was walking very fast at this time. He surpassed Captain Langgel, who was originally running in front of him, in just a few steps.

The two of them rushed towards the direction where Ryan was fighting at the same time. In comparison, Alex was a few steps behind.

Several members from the Earthshaker Rifttooth Bear Squad reacted just as quickly and had already rushed out of the room.

But just as they were about to rush forward, they were stopped by Alex.

"Everyone, there is only one person on the other side. I believe that with Viscount Ryan and our captain, it is completely sufficient."

"To prevent the enemy from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, I suggest that you all immediately protect the important people here."

When the members of the Slittooth Bear Squad heard this, they looked at each other quickly and nodded slightly.

It is undeniable that what the swordsman from the Gnome Province said makes sense.

If Viscount Ryan and their powerful captain can't defeat the enemy, then there won't be much point in them going there just to make up the numbers.

Moreover, if the other party is really making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, it would be foolish for them to chase after them rashly.

After all, their first priority was to protect the safety of Earl Habsburg's residence, and this was made clear at the afternoon meeting.

Thinking of this, several people stopped immediately.

However, at this time, Alexandra, who had hurriedly put on half armor and had wet hair, ran out with a hammer and shield in her hand.

She had just heard what Alex said. She glanced at her companions and said, "You stay here. I'll go take a look."

After saying that, he took a step with his long legs and rushed quickly in the direction where Ryan was fighting.

This made several members of the Sharptooth Bear Squad look at each other in bewilderment, and some wanted to say, "Alexandra, aren't you from the Sharptooth Bear Squad? Our mission is to protect the mansion."

But he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. At this time, Alexandra's figure was almost out of sight.

At this moment, the battlefield between Ryan and Holden has rushed out of the gate of Earl Habsburg's mansion and onto the street. The ground along the way is in a mess, with potholes of various sizes.

At the entrance of the Earl's mansion, the beautiful iron hollow door had now twisted like a twist and fell to one side.

The guards were powerless. Firstly, they could not catch up, and secondly, even if they caught up, they could not really help much. If they were not great knights, it would be difficult for them to intervene in a battle of this level.

The black robe on Holden's body had long been torn, revealing large areas of skin that looked like snake scales.

This was a secret technique of the Secret Snake Cult that enhanced close combat, but even so, he was still somewhat unable to withstand Ryan's attacks.

Although the information provided by the Black Flame Church was a bunch of shit, there was one thing they said that was true: Ryan was very good at close combat.

Holden was fighting and retreating at a rapid speed.

But he found the other party's dog really hateful!

Every time he used the shadows of the street to disappear into the shadows, he was sniffed out by the dogs, which made Holden very angry.

At this moment, the battle between him and Ryan was in a stalemate, but the enemy's reinforcements were rushing towards him quickly.

I'm afraid that within ten seconds, the other party will join the battle.

The situation is bad now!
"But, this Ryan."

"Do you think you can defeat me?!"

Seeing that the others were at least several hundred meters away from him, Holden gritted his teeth and decided to give his special moves a try!
Maybe there will be a comeback.

Even if it doesn't work, he can always retreat calmly during the gap between his special moves!
Otherwise, the current situation would be very unfavorable for him.

"Great Devouring Serpent, please listen to your servant," said Holden in a deep voice while running.

The next second, Holden's body was shrouded by a huge black mist, and then the black air filled the air.

This made Ryan stop immediately to avoid rushing into the suddenly appearing black fog.

In an instant, a huge black snake with a head bigger than a millstone jumped out from the black fog. Standing upright, it was at least two or three stories high, and the diameter of its body was at least over 1.5 meters.

A pair of huge yellow-brown vertical pupils stared at Ryan, and a strong pressure instantly covered the entire scene!

Fortunately, as a formal wizard, Ryan's mental strength had already exceeded fifty points. Faced with the sudden pressure, although he was slightly stunned, he immediately regained his consciousness.

And at this moment, the opponent opened its huge bloody mouth and pounced down at Ryan from top to bottom!

Judging from the appearance, even a strong war horse could be swallowed in one gulp!
Facing the fierce attack of the giant black snake, since Ryan didn't know whether the other party was an illusion, an energy body or a real existence, he immediately and carefully transformed the two-handed war hammer in his hand into a tower shield across his body.

And saw a huge upright black snake suddenly appear in the air.

Langgel, who was rapidly catching up from behind, looked very surprised and said:

"This is the secret snake cult's evil art of transforming into a snake! It is a secret art that only the chief priest can master."

"Oh no, this is the Shadow Snake!"

"The other party is Haldane!"

With the appearance of a huge black snake, Langgel, who had rich experience in fighting the Secret Snake Cult, immediately understood the opponent's origins!
He really didn't expect that his team had just arrived in Meister when the Secret Snake Cult launched a surprise attack that night.

For a moment, Langgel thought of something else.

That is, although Ryan is very powerful, he has never fought against the Secret Snake Cult, and it is very likely that he will suffer a great loss when facing this move!
The opponent's incarnation of evil magic is extremely powerful, and it is not just a physical attack, it is also mixed with strong pressure and the invasion of shadow energy. If you don't have experience, it is very difficult to resist.

Frye, who was standing aside, looked at the huge black snake with horror on his face!

If it were him, he would definitely not be able to block this attack.

Even for Lord Ryan, if he had not mastered the secrets of defense, it would be almost impossible for him to withstand this kind of physical and energy-mixed attack.

I can only hope that I won’t be injured too seriously by then!

"Iron Wall!" Ryan roared, his muscles swelling!

"boom!"

The huge snake head collided violently with Ryan's tower shield.

Ryan immediately felt a huge force hitting his shield, and the veins on his arms bulged and trembled like little snakes.

The entire lower body sank half a meter into the ground in an instant, almost reaching the knees!

"Is this a physical attack?" Ryan's eyes flickered.

But immediately, he felt something strange coming from his side.

"wrong!"

I saw several python-like black auras around him, bypassing the front defense of the shield and attacking from the left and right sides.

"Transform!"

The shield in Ryan's hand immediately began to extend and surround, and soon turned into a circular shield, blocking all attacks!
"Bang bang bang!"

next second!
The black gas dissipated, and the opponent's huge black snake once again shrank back into the huge black fog.

Then, the black fog condensed rapidly, revealing Holden in human form inside.

Holden had a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost, staring at the shield in Ryan's hand.

Just now, he clearly saw that the weapon, which was originally a two-handed war hammer, turned into a tower shield in an instant.

At this moment, the ring shield in Ryan's hand transformed into a kite-shaped shield again.

The answer is self-evident!

"You are a wizard!"

At this moment, Holden no longer had any intention of fighting.

It was not until this moment that Holden realized that Ryan, whom he wanted to assassinate, was not only a great knight who had mastered the mysteries, but was also a wizard.

In an instant, Holden understood a lot!

No wonder his shadow snake was discovered in advance.

Why is the opponent so little affected by the pressure of his trump card!
This is so fucking different from the information provided by the Black Flame Church.

"Damn it, the Black Flame Church, they actually dared to cheat me!" Holden cursed in his heart as he quickly retreated.

Not far away, the chasing members of the Blade Team, Langgel and Fry, had just seen the shield in Ryan's hand deforming from afar. They unconsciously slowed down their pace and looked at each other in surprise!
Both of them saw surprise in each other's eyes!
"Isn't he a senior knight?"

"He is actually a wizard, and a rare metal wizard at that?"

Langgel recalled the scene in the conference room when Ryan smashed the knight dummy into pieces of steel with a hammer, and was shocked for a moment!

Alex and Alexandra, who were following closely behind the two, did not see this scene. They just felt a little strange that the two people in front of them suddenly slowed down while running.

Could it be that.
Has Lord Ryan met with an accident?
Alexandra thought about it and felt it was impossible!
Lord Ryan is a man who was able to escape from the might of a titled knight. At worst, he should have no problem protecting himself.

Immediately, Alexandra increased her speed again.

At this moment, Holden had already rushed into the large green woodland in the aristocratic area. He tore off the remaining black robe on his body and threw it away. The next second, he disappeared. The mottled shadows of the trees under the moonlight were his best cover.

This is why the Archbishop of the Secret Serpent Cult, Ganon, was certain that even if Holden could not complete the task, he would be able to escape safely.

In the midst of all the shadows, even the greyhound Cookie couldn't find any trace of Holden at once because of the interference of the smell of the tattered black robe fragments.

At this time, Holden finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, he looked horrified!
Ryan didn't slow down at all and rushed into the woods right after him!
The weapon in Ryan's hand instantly transformed into a strange big sword. The wide surface of the blade was densely covered with small things, and Ryan began to spin at high speed like a gyroscope!
In an instant, an extremely violent whirlwind swept around!
The most important thing is that densely packed four-cornered darts, accompanied by sharp sounds of breaking through the air, attack in all directions simultaneously.

Holden's innate ability 'Shadow Skin' comes from the Shadow Serpent. It is a kind of witchcraft that is almost invisible in the shadow area, but it does not disappear in the current plane, or directly teleport away.

Therefore, faced with the dense, almost impenetrable, high-speed four-cornered darts, Holden could only once again unleash multiple streams of that black python-like airflow to surround himself for protection.

Although this move can block the incoming four-cornered darts, the consequences of doing so are also obvious.

That is, his position was suddenly exposed.

Even in the shadow area, the python-like black airflow is very eye-catching.

Just as Holden blocked the four-cornered darts, his eyes widened in the next second. A strong figure suddenly rushed out from the smoke and dust!

The two-handed warhammer in Ryan's hand had now turned into a shield with sharp horns, and it rushed towards him like a mad bull.

"Pfft!"

This move was too sudden!
With the power of his sharp impact horns, Ryan instantly broke into the black airflow, and Holden was unable to dodge and was knocked back more than ten meters.

Although he twisted his waist to avoid the heart at the critical moment, the sharp impact horn still created a fist-sized blood hole on his chest, and his speed dropped sharply immediately.

Just as Holden was about to contract his muscles to control the bleeding, Ryan had already quickly approached.

At this moment, the ramming horn shield in his hand had transformed into a two-handed sword, slashing towards Holden's head.

Holden was immediately horrified and stepped back quickly, his right hand unconsciously protecting his forehead, but the next second, he suddenly felt his body lighten.

The tough right arm covered with snake scales was actually cut off by Ryan's suddenly lengthened sword!
At this moment, the extremely smooth cut on the arm was spurting out blood!

Holden's loss of his right arm immediately caused his body balance to be disrupted, and the speed of his entire body's movement was reduced again.

"Swish!"

Ryan leapt past his opponent and swung out two swords again, with bright black sword light flashing!

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard!

"Pfft!"

Holden fell to the ground. At this moment, both his hands and right leg were cut off by Ryan. The severe pain made him twitch all over involuntarily, but he didn't know whether it was the failure or the injury that caused his mental imbalance.

At this moment, Holden laughed loudly and roared a little crazily: "Hey, do you think you won? You are dead!"

"High Priest Ganon will avenge me!"

Without anyone noticing, a tiny shadow snake quickly slipped out of his trouser leg and sank into the shadow beside him, disappearing in an instant.

"Obstinate!"

Ryan punched the opponent in the forehead and knocked Holden unconscious immediately.

When Langgel, Fry, Alexandra and others arrived, they all took a deep breath!
"Sigh~"

Ryan was seen grabbing Holden's head with one hand and walking out of the woods with mottled shadows as if dragging a dead snake.

The cold moonlight shone on Ryan's bronze skin covered with sweat, reflecting a heart-pounding chill.

They were all stunned for a moment before they came forward to greet and show concern.

Alexandra enthusiastically supported Ryan's side and rubbed the size of her chest against Ryan's hard arms from time to time.

A small white hand was stroking Ryan's strong body with concern, and kept asking, "Sir Ryan, are you hurt? Let me take a look."

Since Alexandra had just taken a shower, her hair was still wet and she exuded the scent of a mature woman, which made Ryan's lower abdomen feel hot.

In addition, the other person's little hand seemed to be touching further and further down!

Faced with Alexandra's enthusiasm, Ryan couldn't help blushing, and immediately grabbed the other's hand that continued to slide down, and said: "Hey Alexandra, don't worry, I'm fine."

"That's good!" Alexandra smiled sweetly.

"Sir Ryan, this guy is the chief priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Holden, whom I mentioned during the meeting today. I didn't expect them to arrive so soon and attack you." Langgel introduced.

"So he's the chief priest of the Secret Snake Cult." Ryan nodded.

No wonder!
The methods used by the opponent were extremely mysterious, mixed with a series of things such as combat skills, sorcery, and snake pets.

It was the first time Ryan encountered this and he almost suffered a great loss.

"Fortunately, Lord Ryan is very powerful, otherwise, even if a top knight was attacked by this guy, he would be either dead or injured."

"Viscount Ryan, Captain, let's go back first." Alex said with a smile.

"Yes! Yes! There are too many people here and they are gossiping. Let's go." Langgel said with a smile.

Ryan looked curiously at Alex, whose legs were wrapped with light green air currents, and thought to himself, I didn't expect that the other party was a rare third-level wind wizard apprentice.

The residence of Earl Habsburg.

When the insider saw Ryan carrying Holden like a dead snake, together with Langgel, Fry and others, walking into the Earl's mansion through the dilapidated gate, his whole body trembled slightly.

"Damn it! I told you, a group of experts are coming."

"You left without even listening to the rest of the conversation!"

"You deserve this!"

Soon, taking advantage of the slight chaos in the mansion, the insider reported the situation this time, focusing on the fact that this adult was so self-important that he did not listen to his intelligence at all. After writing a few words in heavy ink, he quickly passed the news on.
-
at the same time.

Deep inside the Elim Mine.

Laxul was chatting with the Archbishop Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

Because of Holden's efficient actions, Laxul had a favorable impression of the Secret Snake Cult, and naturally his words became more polite.

He just smiled and said to Ganon, "Sir Ganon, if you are short of any materials needed for the ceremony, we can prepare them for you."

"Thank you. That's not necessary. I've already brought all the materials. By the way, Mr. Laxul, what is the second thing your church needs our help with?"

"Haha, this requires the use of earth snakes. We want to open up a place located in."

Time passed by minute by minute, and the two of them had added more Yodon black tea several times.

Logically speaking, after several hours, even if Holden was slow, he should have received the news half an hour ago. After all, the Elim Mine was not far from the county town.

This made the Archbishop of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, frown slightly, and he thought to himself: "Is this Ryan really that difficult to deal with?"

"But the other party can only make Holden return empty-handed, but it is impossible for him to stay here!"

And Laxul's complexion began to look bad.

Still the same problem.

If something happened to Lord Holden of the Secret Serpent Cult, as it happened on the territory of their own church, it would naturally be criticized by the Secret Serpent Cult.

At this time, a Black Flame monk came in and reported respectfully: "Master Burning Blood, the latest news from the county city."

After saying this, Monk Black Flame presented a small bamboo tube for communication.

He immediately opened the note sent by the insider, and Laxul's face became worse and worse!

Finally, he handed the note to the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, with displeasure, and said:

"Mr. Ganon, please take a look for yourself. This is the latest news from our church's insiders in the Earl's mansion."

"Ok?"

After Cannon took it, he only took a glance at it, and his face changed. He said, "What! Holden was captured alive?"

"In addition, I think the situation described above is unlikely. Holden is not that kind of person."

"Sir Cannon, the problem now is that because of the arrogance of your Lord Holden, not only did I get captured alive, but I also alerted the enemy. Obviously, the other party will be more vigilant because of this. This puts us in a passive position!"

Ganon remained silent!

He was surprised that Holden had not come back!
But no matter what, the Black Flame Cult was right about one thing.

That was the mission, and it was definitely not accomplished.

However, at this moment, Ganon suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked towards the corner of the room.

Suddenly, a slender black snake appeared from the shadows of the room and quickly crawled to Ganon's side.

"Holdan's Shadow Snake." Ganon's face lit up and he immediately picked up the little black snake.

He just stared into the eyes of Shadow Snake for a while.

With a hissing breath, Ganon's face was gloomy. He turned his head to look at Laxul beside him and said, "Hey, now I know why Holden failed."

"The information you gave me is completely wrong!"

"This young man named Ryan is actually a rare metal wizard, not just the great knight you mentioned!"

"What!" As if hearing a bolt from the blue, Laxul was stunned for a moment!

"How can this be!"

"I don't know if it's possible, but Holden has personally fought with the other party to confirm it, so it can't be false." Ganon glanced at Laxul sinisterly and continued:
"In addition, your church will also be held responsible for the failure of this matter!"

"Because of your sect's erroneous intelligence, one of our Secret Snake Sect's chief priests was captured alive by the other side. What do you think we should do?"

"Well." This time, it was Laxul's turn to remain silent.

If what the other party said is true, then the responsibility for this matter undoubtedly lies with the intelligence of their own church.

As for the other party's high opinion of himself, it is just a minor issue that is not a big deal.

Moreover, the other party was communicating through Shadow Snake, so the accuracy should be even higher than that of the insiders in his own church, so it was probably true.

After a while, Laxul said to Ganon: "Sir Ganon, how about this? We will hand over the Earth Snake to you now, and you can hold the ceremony immediately."

"Also, the second request is off the table."

"But as for Ryan, who captured Mr. Haldane of your church alive, we can now say that he is the common enemy of our two churches."

"So, I hope we can work together to eliminate this extremely threatening Ryan!"

Hearing what Laxul said, Ganon's expression immediately relaxed.

His primary mission in coming to Meister this time was to hunt for the ancient creature - the earth snake.

Since the other party admitted that the problem was on their side and agreed to let him hold the ruling ceremony now, there would be little point in pursuing some things further.

After thinking for a while, Ganon nodded and said, "Sir Laxul, you are right. This Ryan was seriously injured and captured Holden alive, so he must pay the price!"

"How about this, I will perform the ceremony now. Perhaps, then we can borrow the power of the earth snake and destroy them all!"
