Chapter 283: Fierce Battle (Two chapters in one)

Because the ancient hero Mung, who was originally unharmed, suddenly roared in pain!

Just behind his tall figure, there was a solid, lifelike, transparent shadow, which was hit out of the body by Ryan's hammer. At this time, it was at least one meter away from the body.

Not only that.

In an instant, the transparent shadow that left the body suddenly had fist-sized holes in dozens of places all over the body.

Then, the transparent shadow, which had become much dimmer, was quickly pulled back into the body of the ancient hero Munger as if under the influence of some kind of gravity.

Although the transparent shadow had returned to the body, the ancient hero Mung was vomiting mouthfuls of dark red blood. He knelt on one knee, trying to support his body with his war hammer, and was shaking in pain!

"This..." Freeman and others looked at this scene as if they had seen a ghost!
Because according to the records in the church's scriptures, this ancient hero Mong is not just an ordinary legendary warrior, but an epic-level warrior of his own ancient church.

Even though it is far from recovered, its strength is barely one tenth of what it was.

But one tenth of the remaining strength of an epic-level strong man has definitely reached the combat power level of a legendary strong man!
'A lean camel is bigger than a horse.'

Therefore, they never expected that such a top ancient warrior in their own church would be injured by a young man from the empire who was obviously not yet a legend!
The problem is, the injury looks pretty serious!

Claire originally saw Ryan's arm muscles bursting inch by inch, her brows slightly furrowed, and she was very worried, but she didn't expect the situation to turn around so quickly.

The enemy, who was obviously at least at the legendary level, was actually seriously injured.

No, the injury is even worse!
The phantom just now seemed to be a soul, and direct damage to the soul would obviously be more difficult to recover from than the injury to Ryan's body.

In the field, Frye showed surprise on his face and immediately turned to his captain Langer and said:
"Captain, I told you! With Lord Ryan's words, we can still fight."

"This." Langgel's head was also buzzing at this time.

He also didn't understand why such a legendary strong man, and obviously not an ordinary legendary strong man, could be beaten like this by Ryan's hammer?
Could it be that Ryan is also a legendary figure?
But this is impossible!

The battle between Ryan and Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult went on for a long time.

In terms of strength, Ryan is still some distance away from being a quasi-legend. The reason he was able to defeat the High Priest Ganon of the Secret Snake Cult was more due to the blessing of his talent of 'supernormal physical strength'.

How did Ryan do it? Langgel really couldn't figure it out!

"嗗~~~"

Ryan's legs were stretched forward and backward, his muscles knotted, and he finally stood still after plowing two furrows more than ten meters long and nearly half a meter deep on the ground in the garden!

His right hand was in pain, but Ryan's eyes were fixed on the ancient hero Mung, without blinking.

When he saw the other party, his transparent shadow was knocked out and he was obviously seriously injured, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Real damage, it turns out that it acts directly on the soul?"

"It seems that this battle still needs to be fought!"

Ryan could clearly feel that not only was the opponent's momentum rapidly declining, but the originally tight and seamless field around him was also much weaker at this moment.

This is like a group of neat and uniform ribbons that were originally floating in one direction, but now have become messy and are floating in all directions, revealing many gaps in between.

"However, I still need to recover from my injuries first."

Adding attribute points can only restore physical strength, but cannot restore injuries.

Ryan quickly glanced at the Beast Priest (Legend) panel and focused his attention on the core skill 'Beast Vitality'.

Previously, in order to improve the combat power of Weapon Master (Legend) as soon as possible, he basically used all his skill points on extraordinary combat skills, so the core skill "Beast Vitality" was still at level 1.

Of course, another reason was that Ryan thought level 1 was enough at that time.

But today, things are different.

There were no large ferocious beasts nearby for him to absorb, so if he wanted to recover from his injuries, he could only rely on the energy of his three war pets!
Without any hesitation, Ryan added 1 skill points to 'Beast Vitality lv2 (Active)'.

The icon also changed slightly, from a hand pressing on the head of a crawling beast to three beasts surrounding the body.

The small text in the lower right corner of the icon changes as follows:

[Beast Vitality lv3 (Active): As a beast priest inherited from the ancient trolls, you can quickly absorb the vitality and energy of beasts or contracted pets within a certain distance to heal your own injuries and restore your energy.]

(Note: It can be used on three beasts or contracted pets at the same time, and the maximum limit cannot exceed 30% of the opponent's upper limit of vitality.)
(Note: If you absorb a beast, you will be negatively affected by the beast's soul, but a contracted pet will not.)
Immediately, Ryan noticed the changes after the skill upgrade and added a few keywords: 'within a certain distance', 'at the same time' and 'three'.

As Ryan's mind moved.

A dog as big as a pony suddenly jumped out, came to Ryan and quickly lay down, while from another direction, a tall and strong black wildebeest rushed over.

Just when everyone thought that Ryan was going to mount his horse and retreat, a majestic and strange bird of prey swooped down from above Ryan's head again.

In an instant, three green air currents visible to the naked eye, fluctuating like high-voltage electric currents, were infused into Ryan's body from the bodies of three ferocious (supernatural) beasts.

Suddenly, Ryan felt three surging and surging heat currents coming from the three war pets under his command.

This heat flow has the special effect of restoring energy and healing injuries. Ryan half-closed his eyes, feeling the three heat flows rapidly in his severely injured right arm.

He could feel a numbing and itchy sensation coming from his right arm. The injured muscles were quickly repaired and the skin also began to heal rapidly!
Although the upper limit of life and vitality that Ryan can absorb is only 30% of the total number of combat pets under his command, the vitality of the ferocious beasts is already very strong, and there are three of them.

Therefore, the injury on his right arm healed in just a few seconds!

However, the expressions of the three war pets all looked quite depressed. It was obvious that they had endured an unbearable burden for their masters.

When Ryan stood up again, he looked full of energy!
Freeman and other Black Flame monks who saw this scene all shouted in their hearts, "Fuck!"

Because of what Ryan just did, it felt more like a cult than them!
That green light just now should be absorbing the source of life force, right?
Is this something a decent person would do?
"Go, help Lord Mung up, we will retreat immediately!" Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Freeman quickly made a decision.

"Yes, my lord."

Several Black Flame monks immediately ran to the ancient hero Mung, who was kneeling on one knee, intending to help the ancient strong men of their own church evacuate quickly.

Suddenly, with a "puff", the two Black Flame monks let out screams!

The ancient hero Munger inserted his hands into the chest and abdomen of a Black Flame Monk, and dense red lines on his arms began to flow toward his body. He actually regarded the Black Flame Monks of his own church as nutrients for recovery.

As the essence and blood were absorbed, he suddenly raised his head, which had been lowered, and looked at Ryan with a pair of bloodshot eyes filled with rage!

This ant-like bastard actually used that magical weapon to harm the essence of his soul!

His fighting power, which was already only one tenth of what it was, is now even less.

Ants must die!
Mung threw the two hunched corpses aside, gripped the warhammer tightly, and the next second, a deep pit suddenly exploded on the ground beneath his feet!
The ancient hero Mongra drew a gray straight line and rushed towards Ryan rapidly. The air around his body was rippled like water.

Wherever it passed, it was as if a level 19 typhoon had passed through, with all the grass and trees broken and smoke and dust billowing!
Ryan's pupils shrank and his mind was highly concentrated. He keenly discovered that this time, the opponent's movement speed did not exceed the sound barrier. He was able to barely capture his every move.

Obviously, this also proves that the opponent's injuries should be very serious. The opponent is furious and his combat power is not as good as before he was injured.

With his confidence greatly increased, Ryan suddenly roared and instantly transformed the hardened gold covering the plate armor gauntlet into a dark two-handed war hammer, rushing towards Monger!

"clang!!!"

Sparks fly!

This time, the blue and white war hammer and the black war hammer collided fiercely again!
Not only did the ear-piercing sound of metal colliding resound throughout the venue, but the air vibrations caused by the shock wave also knocked the surrounding guards and Black Flame monks more than ten meters away.

This made the others crawl and tumble in panic, quickly moving away from the two humanoid beasts.

Ryan's hands were shaking violently, his palms were slightly cracked, and he took three steps back.

Facing the attack from the ancient hero Monger, although still at a disadvantage, Ryan's eyes suddenly lit up!

The situation is very different from before.

“This shows that my previous feelings were correct.”

"My hammer, 'Hammer of Annihilation', combined with 'Soul Shattering Shock', caused some kind of injury to the opponent that is at least extremely difficult to recover from in a short period of time, especially the real damage of 'Soul Shattering Shock'!"

"The opponent's combat power is now at least two levels lower than when the game started."

"From being almost impossible to compete with, to now, I am only slightly behind."

If Ryan had just made up his mind to fight to the death, then now he was eager to try and kill the powerful enemy.

Because, once such a powerful person at least at the legendary level is thinking about him, Ryan will not only be in danger of protecting Claire's safety, but even his own life will be on the line at any time!
And what if you could kill a former cult legend?

Ryan's blood boiled in his heart!

This battle can be fought! And it must be fought!

The ancient hero Mong was also knocked back a step by the huge reaction force.

Being pushed back a step by an ant?
Monger finally realized how much his strength had been reduced by the soul damage he had just suffered!

At this time, a battle was also taking place not far from the two of them.

Ryan could sense from the breath that his side, led by Langgel and three other men, was engaged in a fierce battle with the Black Flame Monks, led by Freeman.

Of course, both sides deliberately avoided the area where he and the ancient hero Monger were.

Freeman's strength was not inferior to Laxul at all, and was even stronger than him. This made it very difficult for Langgel and the other two to deal with him.

In order to avoid the enemy's feint to the east and attack to the west, Claire did not join the battle, but continued to guard near the entrance of the villa to protect her father, Count Habsburg. Just when Ryan was a little worried about the current situation.

Viscount Felke, the fallen griffin knight, rushed out from the ruins. His griffin had just been severely damaged, but he himself was basically uninjured.

He looked up and shouted at Fisher, a subordinate of the Griffin Knight, who was hiding in fear in mid-air:

"Quick! Fisher, go inform Lord Menia."

"A powerful cult legend has appeared in Mayest County City!"

Felke was very sure that the person who could seriously injure the griffin under his crotch with one blow must be a legendary strongman.

Moreover, it is very likely that he is not just an ordinary legendary strongman.

Then it seems that the only one who can 100% eliminate the opponent is the 'Red Queen' Dragon Knight Lady Menia.

Fisher's face lit up when he saw that his boss was fine. After hearing Felke's call, he reacted immediately, controlling the griffin under his crotch, soaring into the sky, and flying rapidly towards the fishing town in the east!
Seeing Fisher go to inform, Felke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, he looked closely at the scene and his eyes suddenly widened!

The legendary cult warrior who had severely injured his griffin with one blow was now being resisted by a young man named Ryan whom he had met once. The two were fighting fiercely!
At the same time, he also saw Langgel and the other two who were in a disadvantageous position.

After a moment's thought, Felke rushed into the battle group of Langgel and his men.

After all, he thought it would be difficult for him to intervene in the fight between the two men.

Since Felke was also a master with the strength of a peak knight, with his joining, Langgel and the other two felt a lot more relaxed and gradually stabilized the situation.

Freeman was not panicking at the moment.

Although the whole situation was in a tense state, he was very clear that even the seriously injured ancient hero Lord Mong was much more powerful than this.

Ryan will definitely not be a match for Lord Monger.

Then, we just need to maintain our undefeated situation, and wait for Lord Munger to win, so that we can free up our hands to deal with all these people.

Ryan used all his strength in every attack, but was still defeated by the ancient hero Monger.

Although the power gap between the two is very close at this moment, it is still not so easy to make up.

Every hammer swung by the opponent was superimposed with will, force, strength and some special energy. This meant that Ryan had to use the top-level secret technique "Hammer of Annihilation" to barely resist each attack.

If it were any other great knight who had not mastered the top-level secrets, it would be difficult for him to even take a single blow!
But Ryan's eyes became brighter and brighter as the fight went on!
Ryan was keenly aware that this battle was completely different from the feeling his enemies had given him in the past.

In this battle, he needs to concentrate fully on every attack of his opponent, and every time he blocks, he will consciously or unconsciously use the power of his mind!
It was as if he was walking a tightrope on a cliff.

Ryan had a feeling.

It was as if at this moment he was a rough piece of iron that had just come out of the furnace, being hammered and tempered by a skilled blacksmith!

By fighting with strong men of this level, Ryan could vaguely feel that every second was a tempering of his own spirit and beneficial to the improvement of his will!

In an instant, he seemed to understand how to improve the new attribute - 'will'.

However, Ryan also understood that he couldn't keep retreating!

If you defend for too long, you will lose!

And offense is the best defense!

Although Ryan still has 5 remaining attribute points, he needs to use them as a means to restore his physical strength. Therefore, he cannot invest all of them into strength or agility at this time to reduce the combat power gap with the opponent.

But Ryan has other solutions to further narrow the gap in combat power.

Ryan quickly invested 2 skill points in the 'Beast Sturdiness' icon in the Beast Sacrifice (Legend) panel.

The pattern of the icon has not changed at all, it is still the portrait of Ryan's current three war pets, an eagle, a dog and a horse.

Only the small words in the lower right corner have changed:
[Beast Sturdiness lv3 (Passive): As a beast priest inherited from the ancient trolls, you naturally have the ability to absorb the vitality of the contracted pet, thereby improving your physical fitness and resistance. ]

(Note: Level 3 can obtain the blessing effects of three pets under your command at the same time.)
(Note: This skill has a distance limit. It is only effective when the pet is near you. The effective distance is proportional to the spiritual attribute.)
Previously, lv1 only granted one pet effect, but now lv3 provides three, and the prompt is extremely obvious.

As Ryan silently prayed in his heart, the beast was strong.

In an instant, he felt that he was a completely different person!
On the attribute panel, Ryan had three more buffs: [Swiftness of the Dog], [Endurance of the Horse], and [Strength of the Hippogryph].

Moreover, since the black horse evolved into a trotting wildebeest and the blood-feathered hippogryph also grew compared to before, the three enhancement effects have all reached the level of +3 at this moment!
Strength, stamina and agility have all increased by three points, which is almost a step up in combat effectiveness!

The counterattack began immediately!
When they fought again, the ancient hero Mong found that something was wrong with Ryan's condition. It was as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and his strength had increased a little.

This made Monger's eyes filled with anger, and at this moment, there were also some other emotional fluctuations.

It was also the first time that Monger took a slightly more serious look at the young man from the Empire with whom he was fighting.

The original battle situation was one-sided, and Ryan had almost no chance to fight back and could only passively parry and block.

But the situation is different now. Ryan can launch effective counterattacks from time to time, forcing Monger to parry or block.

Since both of them were fighting with heavy hammers, their strength was unmatched, and every time they struck, there was a loud sound like the sound of a huge bell.

The strong energy of each collision created shock waves that actually pressed the ground at the battle scene down by several centimeters, and at the same time, dust flew everywhere!

If someone is unlucky enough to get close, those who are lucky will be stunned by the sound waves and will be blown away by the air wave the next second, while those who are unlucky will directly become an incomplete man.

It is really incomplete. Missing arms and legs is the lightest form of the disease. It may even be directly missing the head or half of the body.

At this time, an unlucky guy was hit by Ryan's hammer.

"what?"

Ryan was surprised to find that a transparent shadow like a comet was sucked into his hardened and deformed war hammer.

This scene suddenly flashed through Ryan's mind like a flash of lightning.

He quickly glanced at the description of the 'Soul Crushing Hammer'.

Sure enough, there was no requirement for a certain rare warhammer, but it simply said warhammer.

That is to say, unlike the need for a certain rare hammer as a medium when changing jobs, the 'Soul Crushing Hammer' is the core skill of the top legendary profession of Warhammer Wizard, and it is not a special skill of a certain hammer.

But it seems that the war hammer of the rare item level has some added power.

In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Ryan's mind.

He looked at the blue and white hammer in the hands of the ancient hero Monger with scorching eyes!

"If that's the case, then"

The next second, Ryan struck out with a heavy hammer, forcing Monger to block. Then he dodged and rushed towards the direction where dozens of Black Flame Monks were.

Freeman, who was fighting with Langgel and Felke, saw Ryan rushing over, and his eyelids twitched, cursing in his heart:
"Fuck! You can't beat Lord Monger, so you rush here to make a name for yourself?"

"How shameless!"

Ryan swung his hammer and wreaked havoc among the Black Flame Monks. In the blink of an eye, he killed three of them.

Including the unlucky guy at the beginning who was hit to death by the war hammer, at this moment, Ryan has stacked four layers of benefit effects.

Although each level only increases Strength by 2, there are four of them!
In such a short period of time, Ryan suddenly gained 8 points of strength.

When Monger rushed over and saw three long transparent shadows surrounding the hammer in Ryan's hand, his eyes changed again!
When they fought again, these eight points of strength allowed Ryan to attack more and defend less, and the situation began to reverse.

What's more important is that after knowing that the core skill of the Warhammer Wizard, 'Soul Crushing Hammer', is not linked to the rare Warhammer, Ryan will find an opportunity to sneak up to a Black Flame Monk every few seconds and take him away.

Finally, when Ryan superimposed it for the ninth time, Monger's expression finally changed drastically.

He knew that this couldn't go on any longer.

The young man from the empire in front of him was too weird.

Physical strength is like a perpetual motion machine. Not only can it continuously display the secrets, but its strength also grows stronger with each fight.

Monger decided that even if he fell into a deep sleep again, he would kill the young man in front of him.

Suddenly, the blue and white hammer in Monger's hand emitted a strange energy fluctuation.

Ryan spun around and killed another Black Flame Monk, finally reaching the tenth floor.

In an instant!
The two people's eyes met for a moment.

Seems to understand something.

Almost at the same time, the soil under the feet of the two men suddenly exploded.

I saw two figures, one gray and one silver, each drawing a straight line and rushing towards each other rapidly!

"clang!!!"

In an instant, the two war hammers of different styles collided heavily again!
