The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 284 Dragon Rider (two chapters in one)

The sparks and shock waves produced by the collision of the two hammers formed a fierce hammer mouth storm, which blew all the six or seven Black Flame monks and guards who were nearby into the air.

The ground was instantly pressed down nearly ten centimeters by the huge impact force, and the soil splashed everywhere like a tornado.

In an instant, a large concave pit was formed within a few meters around Ryan and the ancient hero Monger!
The moment of collision.

The face of the ancient hero Mongke changed immediately, becoming extremely horrified!
He always thought that the opponent's special power that could hurt the soul came from the opponent's skull hammer that had just been shattered into pieces.

Because he could sense by just his perception that the other party's hammer was an implement related to sacrifice.

It is possible that during the long-term sacrificial process, one might accidentally possess the ability to harm souls.

But Monger really didn't expect that the imperial boy named Ryan in front of him, this time, did not have the skull hammer in his hand, but still delivered a blow that had the ability to damage the soul.

In an instant, a transparent shadow that was already a little broken behind Monger's tall figure was knocked away from his body again by Ryan's hammer.

The same scene as last time reappears!

The transparent shadow that was nearly one meter away from Monger's body suddenly had dozens of densely packed fist-sized holes all over its body.

Now, the transparent shadow became extremely broken, like a candle in the wind and rain.

If you don't look closely, you can hardly see the human form.
When the phantom returned to the body of the ancient hero Munger, this time, Munger staggered back five or six steps.

Finally, the whole person fell to the ground with a 'bang', losing his balance!
Ryan was also not feeling well.

The war hammer in his hand, even though it was made of hardened gold, could not withstand the violent collision just now.

At this moment, the thinner part of the hammer handle broke directly, and the hammer head was completely knocked off, leaving only a headless hammer in Ryan's hand.

At the same time, Monger's attack was accompanied by a special dark red flame and some kind of transparent energy impact.

At this moment, Ryan's right hand was almost broken, and his entire body was faintly burning with this dark red flame, causing him extreme pain.

However, Ryan still endured the pain, took a step forward, and the hardened metal in his hand instantly transformed into a war hammer again, and hit Mung's head heavily.

It seemed as if he felt the crisis of death.

In an instant! The nearly dying Monger's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Ryan!

The next second, he blocked Ryan's attack with his gray arms.

"Oh!"

The feeling of hitting thick leather armor was transmitted from the hammer handle to Ryan's hand. Although the opponent's skin was wrinkled like a mummy, the muscle fibers under the skin were like steel wires and had extremely strong defensive capabilities.

Even compared to Ryan, who possesses intermediate steel body talent, he is not weaker at all.

The blow only damaged the muscle tissue in Monger's arm, but did not break his arm bones.

I don’t know if it was a last burst of energy or some other secret skill, but the exhausted Munger actually roared, rushed into Ryan’s arms, and sprinted hard!

"Boom!"

After knocking down several stone walls in succession, the two men rushed directly into the auxiliary building of the villa nearby and immediately started fighting in close combat!

But Monger's condition at that time was really bad. A few seconds later, Ryan seized the opportunity.

"Pfft!"

The ancient hero Monger's eyes widened and his whole body trembled!
I saw a pointed hammer hitting his brain from the top of his head.

The next moment, he seemed to still want to raise his arm to fight back, but his whole body suddenly twitched, and the raised thick arm naturally fell back, and his lion-like head finally drooped down weakly.

Ryan pulled out the pointed hammer and looked at the tall body falling to the ground in silence for a moment!
With the death of the ancient hero Mung, a special aura suddenly emanated from around his majestic corpse.

This atmosphere is full of grand and vast meaning!

Ryan felt that Monger's death was a bit like a "whale fall".

After his death, it seemed that some kind of original power in his body also dissipated, so this magnificent aura dissipated.

Suddenly, the system prompt sounded:
[Ding! The test found that the unknown high-quality energy can be absorbed. Yes/No? ]

(Note: This high-quality energy can be directly converted into talent points after absorption.)
Huh?
Looking at the system prompt, Ryan was slightly stunned!
This was really a bit unexpected for him.

Ever since he happened to encounter a situation where talent points could be converted when he killed the Black Flame Cult chief priest who was in the promotion stage last time, Ryan has always believed that only enemies who have a little relationship with the gods can have talent points.

Unexpectedly, after he killed the ancient hero Mong, he would also have the opportunity to gain talent points.

Faced with this choice, Ryan naturally had no hesitation and immediately chose "Yes!"

In an instant, the strange aura that had gradually begun to dissipate from Monger's majestic corpse was now completely absorbed by Ryan's body like a river flowing into the sea!

The system prompt came again:

【Ding! A total of two talent points have been converted.】

[Please select the talent 'Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)', 'Primary Supernatural Understanding (Passive)', 'Intermediate Steel Body (Passive)' or 'Intermediate Giant Strength (Active)' to upgrade. ]

Seeing this system prompt, Ryan's smile became even brighter.

There are actually two talent points.

This means that even if it is an intermediate talent, he can improve it this time.

But now is naturally not the time to consider adding points.

At this moment, his physical condition was also a little abnormal. The opponent's evil flame, like a thorn in the flesh, was still in his body, causing continuous damage.

Therefore, Ryan could only let his three war pets bear another wave of unbearable burden.

As the eagle, dog, and horse rushed into the ruins, Ryan finally felt much better after using the level 3 "Beast Vitality".

At this moment, Ryan saw something and raised his eyebrows.

He walked forward and took the blue and white hammer that originally belonged to Monger in his hand.

In addition to the heaviness of the warhammer, Ryan could also clearly feel a breath of resistance.

It was as if the hammer in his hand was a living thing with its own consciousness, and it did not recognize him as its new master.

Ryan raised the hammer to his chest and looked at it carefully.

I saw that there was a complex blue and white pattern on the handle of the hammer, which seemed to be an array pattern and should have some special function.

As for the hammer head, there is no special pattern on it.

It has a square shape, with blue on the left and right sides and silver on the other four sides. The only feeling is that it is extremely solid and heavy.

After thinking about it, Ryan tried to cast his innate magic, 'Metal Transfiguration', but the warhammer clearly emitted a faint blue-white light, isolating the metal energy particles outside.

Transformation failed!

This couldn't help but make Ryan more interested.

Obviously, this warhammer is not an ordinary object.

It feels like it is of a higher level than his strange artifact 'Skull Hammer' that was shattered into pieces.

Although he couldn't figure out the secret of the war hammer at the moment, Ryan was not worried.

Because there must be someone in the huge organization of sword-wielders who can solve this problem.

After thinking for a while, Ryan held the blue and white warhammer in his right hand, lifted Monger's ankle with his left hand, dragged the other's tall and heavy body, and walked out of the ruins of the villa's auxiliary building step by step.

When Ryan came out, everyone present couldn't help but stop fighting, whether it was the Black Flame Cult led by Freeman, or the guards led by Langgel and Viscount Felke.

At this moment, the eyes looking at Ryan were full of disbelief and shock!
Freeman and other Black Flame monks stared with wide eyes, repeatedly looking at the tall corpse dragged by Ryan's hands. It was undoubtedly the ancient hero Mung.

But how the hell is this possible?
This is a rare and powerful man of epic level in the history of the church!

He actually died at the hands of an imperial teenager!

Even the fairy tale scripts of the troubadours would not dare to be written like this.

In Dragon Quest, the hero must also have extraordinary achievements, right?

Otherwise, if a farmer killed a dragon with a pitchfork, the audience would definitely throw rotten eggs at it.

But in the hearts of the Black Flame Church, what is the difference between Ryan and the ancient hero Monger and peasants and dragons?
Langgel and Viscount Felke were also looking at this scene in shock!
Although they didn't want Ryan to lose, to be honest, they basically didn't think Ryan could win.

After all, in their opinion, the possibility is too small.

Their greatest expectation for Ryan in their hearts is that Ryan can delay this ancient legendary powerful man of the Black Flame Cult for as long as possible.

It would be best if we could hold out until the imperial reinforcements arrive.

But this is also a luxury in their view.

In other words, they never thought that Ryan could win!

But at this moment, the development of things was far beyond their expectations.

Actually won?

Langgel remembered clearly that Frye had told him yesterday that although Ryan was the captain of the gold-level sword-bearer, he had actually only joined the sword-bearer branch of the Munster Province for less than two months.

But how could such a prospective newcomer kill a powerful and legendary figure from ancient times in the cult?
This is no longer a description of Ryan as "this boy will become a great man in the future."

Instead, it should be changed to 'This boy has become a great man'!
Claire, who was guarding the door of the villa, also opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and looked at Ryan, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Two hours ago, she had just given Ryan a manuscript written by her ancestor on how to comprehend the radiance of will, but Ryan turned around and killed a legendary powerful man of the cult?
this.
Claire felt that her mind was a little confused for a moment.

The guards in Earl Habsburg's mansion looked at Ryan with eyes full of respect and a hint of fear. This attitude was completely different from the beginning when they treated Ryan just in charge of the safety of the Earl's mansion.

Many guards couldn't help but blush slightly when they recalled their doubts at that time!
At this moment, looking at this familiar figure, they felt an indescribable sense of security.

Suddenly, Freeman in the field was shocked and reacted suddenly!

If he doesn't leave now, he might not be able to leave.

He just shouted, "Retreat!" and quickly crushed something, and a thick fog appeared out of nowhere.

Many of the Black Flame monks, who had lost their will to fight, immediately took out things like smoke bombs and threw them on the ground.

Suddenly, the garden was filled with smoke!

But vaguely, one could make out that these surviving Black Flame monks were swarming towards the entrance of the tunnel that had been dug by the earth snakes.

Just as Ryan put down the body of the ancient hero Monger and was about to chase him, Langgel, Fry and others stepped forward and said:

"Sir Ryan, please don't bother doing this anymore. Leave it to us!" Ryan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

Ryan sat down on a broken stone slab, slowly calmed his breathing, and began to recall the battle just now.

At this moment, no matter whether they were familiar with Ryan or not, when they saw the young man sitting quietly on the stone slab, no one dared to disturb him for a moment.

So, such a strange scene appeared in the whole garden.

A young man seemed to be isolated from the world, sitting on a stone slab, holding a huge blue and white hammer in his hand, thinking about something.

The others were busy with their own things.

A group of people were chasing into the tunnel, while the others were surrounding the boy, spreading out and being on high alert.

Originally, when Olena saw Ryan sitting alone on the stone slab, she planned to go up to him and say some words of praise.

But when she saw Ryan looking lost in thought, she somehow felt that she shouldn't go up and disturb him.

As the Deputy Minister of Affairs of the Swordbearer Mission Hall, Olena naturally understood how great a contribution Ryan had made this time!
Even for her, who was well-informed, it was the first time she witnessed with her own eyes a legendary enemy being killed by her own side.

Olena, who didn't dare to disturb him but was extremely excited, suddenly had her beautiful eyes light up, as if she had thought of something.

She immediately took out a feather pen and started writing something.

Because she was too excited, her handwriting was a little sloppy.

Immediately, Olena crumpled the paper in her hand into a ball and threw it away, then took out a new piece of paper.

This time, she took a long breath, calmed herself down, and then started writing again.

When the head maid saw Olena writing something so seriously, she couldn't help but curiously went forward to check, and saw the following words neatly written on the paper:

".The residence of Earl Habsburg was attacked by the Black Flame Cult for the second time. This time, the enemy sent an ancient legendary warrior whose strength has not yet fully recovered. The cultists called him 'Ancient Hero Munger'."

". Our gold-level sword-wielding captain, Lord Ryan, killed the ancient hero Monger on the spot in a one-on-one fight."

After thinking about it, Olena decided to mention the situation of other people as well, although the Blade Squad was not affiliated with the Munster Swordsman branch, and the Griffin Knights were even less so.

".The remaining enemy personnel were also defeated by the Blade Squad and the Griffin Knights."

Looking at the completed situation report, Olena nodded with satisfaction.

This is a good way of writing, and it seems to highlight the excellence of Mr. Ryan!

And Ryan remembered that he had not checked the system prompts yet.

Sure enough, the prompt refreshes the screen:
[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +7847]

[You have experienced a battle, Warhammer Wizard (Legend) experience value +3991]

[You have experienced a battle, Beast Priest (Legendary) experience +1387]

(Note: The above skills and experience have enjoyed a 30% increase in the exclusive talent 'Elementary Extraordinary Comprehension'.)
[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 11 gold skill point! 】

[Congratulations, your Will (Hidden) attribute has been improved! ]

[Congratulations, your Warhammer Wizard (Legend) career level has been upgraded! ]

[Congratulations, your Beast Priest (Legendary) class level has been upgraded! ]

The Warhammer Wizard (Legendary) profession level, which had just been upgraded to lv5, was upgraded again to lv6 (2611/3000).

Although the professional level of Weapon Master (Legend) has not been upgraded, after gaining a lot of experience this time, the progress bar has passed most of the way and reached lv9 (8074/10000).

What surprised Ryan a little was that the Beast Priest (Legend) was upgraded twice this time, reaching level 5 (49/2000).

This is an unexpected surprise!

The upgrade of the two legendary professions, Warhammer Wizard and Beast Priest, also allowed Ryan to gain 3 attribute points and 3 skill points again.

Adding his original remaining points, Ryan now has 5 remaining attribute points, 5 remaining skill points, and 11 gold skill points.

Huh?
Willpower also increased by 1 point?
Ryan looked at the attribute panel and found that the hidden attribute of Willpower had reached 2 points.

Constitution: 43 (3 points added in combat)
Power: 46
Agility: 44
Spirit: 55
Will (hidden attribute): 2
Fierce fighting seems to be the best way to temper one's will.

There is no doubt that this enemy, the ancient hero Monger, is the most powerful enemy Ryan has ever encountered.

If the opponent had not been caught off guard at the beginning and hit by his strongest killer move 'Soul Shattering Impact', the subsequent battle would have been impossible to fight.

In fact, the main factor in killing the opponent is the real damage of the second 'Soul Shattering Shock'.

If he only relied on his current real attack power, it would still be a very difficult task to break the opponent's physical defense and severely injure the opponent.

"This is the power of the core skills of the top legendary profession, the Warhammer Wizard!" Ryan couldn't help but sigh.

"If I hadn't changed my job to a Warhammer wizard, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to turn the tide in this battle. The best outcome would have been for me to escape quickly by riding a trotting wildebeest."

"But in that case, then..."

"We still need to strengthen our strength."

Immediately, Ryan thought of the two talent points he had just obtained.

After a little thought, Ryan figured it out.

Now, there are basically three options before him.

The first option is to upgrade the talent 'Intermediate Strength (Active)'. The increase in explosive power means that the attack power can be raised to another level, which is very important in battle.

The second option is to upgrade the talent 'Intermediate Steel Body (Passive)'. The reason is simple and important. Of course, stacking armor will never go out of style!

The third option is to use the two talent points separately, adding them to 'Primary Weapon Mastery (Passive)' and 'Primary Supernatural Enlightenment (Passive)' respectively.

Upgrade these two primary talents to intermediate talents.

The advantage of this is that, except for the war hammer, the power of the ultimate powers of other weapons will be enhanced.

At the same time, extraordinary comprehension can further improve the speed of practicing subsequent extraordinary combat skills.

There are three options, all with their own advantages. How should I choose?

Ryan couldn't help but ponder again.

Suddenly, Ryan sensed something and looked up at the eastern sky.

I saw two teams of griffin knights approaching rapidly from the distant sky. They flew in two straight lines, leaving a large gap in the middle, as if they were guarding something.

But to the naked eye, there is nothing in the middle.

"Hey, the Griffin Squadron is here."

"Wow, there are quite a lot of griffin knights coming this time." Many guards exclaimed.

Among the two teams of griffin knights, there was one person, Fisher, who had just gone to report the news.

When he saw the obviously calmed down Count Habsburg's mansion, he immediately thought of something, and his whole body froze with an extremely sad expression, as if he thought that everyone, including his boss, Viscount Felke, had died.

But then, Fisher's red eyes blinked.

He took a closer look and found that the people on guard in the mansion garden were all dressed as guards, which made Fisher overjoyed!

However, this also made him very confused.

"Didn't Lord Viscount Felke say that the guy is at least a legendary warrior?"

"Could it be that the other party retreated on their own initiative?"

"But why would they retreat when they have the upper hand? I don't understand."

Fisher shook his head. He couldn't figure out what was going on.

As for saying.
The thought of the legendary cult leader being killed had never occurred to him at all.

After all, the scene where the opponent paralyzed the griffin with one hammer is still vivid in his mind!

As the two teams of griffin riders gradually approached.

Before long, Ryan felt that something was not right in the atmosphere, and a sense of anxiety rose in his heart.

Huh?
How can such a strong aura be compared to the ancient hero Monger?
A flash of lightning flashed through Ryan's mind, and then he thought of something and looked up suddenly.

Among the griffin knights hovering in the air, the originally empty sky began to shimmer, as if glass was refracting the light.

Then, perhaps some strange invisibility effect, suddenly disappeared.

A majestic, graceful and slender huge creature appeared in front of Ryan!

This was no less shocking to Ryan than when he first met the ancient hero Monger.

Because what was in front of him was a real dragon, its entire body was red, with dense and thick scales, each of which was larger than an adult's palm. Its limbs were covered with red scales, and its muscles were knotty. Each claw at the end of its claws was comparable to a knight's sword.

There is a slightly curved horn on each side of the red dragon's head, and in the center of the head, there are four smaller horns in a row.

A pair of fleshy wings, viewed up close, can be said to be blocking out the sky and the sun!

The wingspan was estimated to be at least 20 to 30 meters, but it was obvious that the faint surging wind energy particles around it were the reason why it could fly so quickly.

But what makes people tremble is not just the opponent's size.

Because if it was just based on size, the offshore plesiosaur that Ryan had killed was not much smaller than the red dragon in front of him.

In fact, the size of the legendary ground snake is even larger than that of the red dragon.

The most moving thing is the opponent's momentum!

That kind of hot and vast aura made the guards who had not yet reached the extraordinary level tremble in fear at this moment!

Although they knew that this was not an enemy, but the legend of the empire - the Dragon Knight.

But this kind of crushing from the life level still makes them tremble.

The red dragon first lowered its head and sniffed the corpse of the ancient hero Mung on the ground, then looked at the blue and white war hammer in Ryan's hand with a pair of huge golden vertical pupils.

His eyes revealed a very anthropomorphic curiosity, confusion and surprise.

At this time, an elegant and magnetic female voice came from the back of the red dragon.
