The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 305: Mirror of Fluctuation (Two chapters in one)

On the top floor of a building in the administrative office, four or five fully armed guards were lying dead in horrific conditions.

Exeter and Briggs were looking down from a high place at the huge shadow of a little boy that suddenly appeared in the center of the Munster trade zone.

"High Priest, is it appropriate to let Freeman control the Eye of Gazing?" the tall Briggs asked respectfully.

During the time when Freeman was "retired" by Exter, he competed with him for power and even suppressed him. This made Burriggs have a lot of complaints about Freeman.

And this time, he even gave the ancient evil object 'Gazing Eye' that he had retrieved with great difficulty to Freeman to control, which made Briggs feel a little uncomfortable.

"Why not?" Exter smiled and said.

"He has tied down a considerable portion of Munster's forces for us. Isn't that a good thing?"

"But this guy is only thinking about getting promoted."

"Berriggs, actually, it's a good thing to have desire, because it gives you motivation to do things."

"Also, if it's your turn to attract the attention of the Empire and the Goddess Church, then after the ceremony here, will I give the blessing from the Great God of Hunting to him?"

"Sir, you mean that I can also enjoy this ceremony," said Burriggs excitedly with a look of surprise on his face.

"Of course, Burriggs, do a good job, I'm counting on you!" Exter patted Burriggs's thick shoulders and said.

"Yes, sir!" After receiving Exter's affirmative response, Berrigs bowed.

At this time, they saw several griffin knights flying quickly towards the location of the evil spirit from the griffin platform nearby. At this time, two teams of elite guards, a knight carrying a two-handed sledgehammer, and a white-robed wizard also walked out of the administrative office.

"It looks like we can take action now." Exeter looked at the scene and nodded.

"My lord, these people in the Empire are so stupid. Such a simple trick actually worked twice!"

"Haha, this shows that this trick is very practical, doesn't it?"

Two minutes ago.

In the first row of the viewing platform, two people stood up. One of them was the Punishment Knight Branduer, whom Ryan had met once.

As for the other person, Ryan did not recognize him. He was holding a gray wooden staff and wearing a white wizard robe. After listening to Neoro's introduction, he realized that this was the Duke of Munster's advisor, a second-level liquefied wizard.

The two men walked out quickly, one in front and one behind, probably to deal with the giant evil spirit incident that Ryan had just heard about.

The Duke of Munster adjusted his mindset slightly, then walked to the front with a smile and began his speech:
"On the last Sunday of the Moon of Grass, on behalf of His Majesty the Great Emperor,

"You are all young talents of the empire and hope to contribute your strength to the development of the Dragun Empire. Next."

"hey-hey!"

At this moment, there were sneers coming from all around the hall!
Such a sudden laugh at this moment was obviously a provocation to the Duke of Munster.

The people watching the ceremony couldn't help but look up and look around, wanting to see who was so bold as to disrupt the awarding ceremony at this moment.

"We do have to make a contribution, but not to the Dragun Empire, but to the great God of Hunting!" A deep voice sounded.

It is still like surround sound, making it impossible to tell the specific location of the sound.

"It's the Black Flame Church!"

"You're so brave!"

Upon hearing the words "God of Hunting", many people present immediately understood.

It turns out that the uninvited guest is from the Black Flame Cult!
The personal guard who had just reported came running in at this moment, looking anxious, as if he had something important to report.

The Duke of Munster also looked like he was listening. Suddenly, the next second, a dagger stabbed into the Duke of Munster's abdomen with lightning speed.

"clang!!!"

The dagger hit something extremely hard and was immediately bounced away, and the Duke of Munster's formal dress was suddenly torn, revealing a dark gold knight's armor with a unique python pattern.

"Assassin!!" The guards drew their swords and shields and protected the Duke of Munster.

The scene was in chaos.

"Armor of Python, I didn't expect that you would wear it." The bodyguard suddenly tore off a human skin mask, and the aura of his whole body changed suddenly.

"That's right!" Duke Munster smiled slightly when he saw the other party appear. He was obviously not surprised. He continued:

"Exter, High Priest of the Black Flame Church! I've been waiting for you for a long time. You used the same trick twice. I don't know whether to say you are confident or stupid."

Exeter also smiled and said:

"Oh, Duke of Munster, you seem very confident. What makes you think you have a chance of winning against me?"

"Don't you think I don't know that your son, the titled knight, 'Lance of Bavaria' Harlowen, has secretly gone to the imperial capital."

"And just now, your advisor and the Punishment Knight from the Goddess Church have also gone to exterminate the evil spirit."

"As an old quasi-legend, do you think you can stop me?" With each sentence the other party spoke, his momentum became stronger and stronger!
At this moment, a loud voice came from the back of the hall, interrupting Exter's speech.

"And I!"

Ryan saw Admiral Edward, who was familiar to him, wearing dark knight armor and holding a sword and shield, walking into the hall from the back of the auditorium.

Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts calmed down.

Many of the sword bearers present were relieved to see the boss of their own branch coming.

"It turns out that this guy killed Archbishop Gomes!"

"Fortunately, Admiral Edward and the Duke of Munster have already made preparations."

"Relying on you two old men over fifty years old?" Exter's face sank, but then he smiled and shook his head.

As for these young people at the scene?

Exeter took them completely for granted.

This is also normal.

Because generally speaking, those who were granted the title of baron were at most peak knights, and even a considerable number of them were merely senior knights.

Although those who were awarded the title of Viscount would be a level stronger, most of them had just entered the level of Grand Knight, and there were very few senior Grand Knights like Angus, and they could be counted on one hand.

Not to mention fighting against this legendary figure who had just entered the crystallized wizard level, even compared with his two deputies, Freeman and Briggs, the gap was not small at all.

Any one of his deputies could clear out all these people.

In fact, if Freeman were here, he would definitely remind his high priest Exter to be careful of the young man named Ryan.

But now Freeman was sent by him to attract attention, so naturally he couldn't remind him of anything.

"Goddess bless you!"

Then the third person pushed open the small door at the other end of the hall and walked out.

The other person was wearing a light grey linen robe, holding a wooden staff, and exuding a strong sacred aura.

Neoro, who was next to Ryan, exclaimed in a low voice: "This is an ascetic monk from the Goddess Church. Most of them are in the Imperial Capital Cohen Cathedral for cultivation. They have the strength of a quasi-legendary level or above. The Goddess Church is very generous."

"It seems that the death of Archbishop Gomes last time still hurt the nerves of the Goddess Church."

"Oh? No wonder you are so confident, it turns out you have been prepared!" Faced with the siege of three people, Exeter finally looked serious.

"Berriggs, start it!"

The words just fell!

Outside the window, I saw one black light beam after another rushing straight into the sky, surging with surging energy.

"Oh no, we are now in a powerful evil magic array." Neoro looked around at the five huge light pillars outside the administrative hall and said in a lost voice.

As soon as Neoro finished speaking, some strange patterns began to appear on the ground.

This scene was naturally seen by the Duke of Munster, Admiral Edward and the ascetic monk from the imperial capital, and their expressions changed.

Fighting with the enemy in the sorcery array, the outcome is not yet clear, but the large number of people in the hall at the moment, especially many of the nobles' families are just ordinary people, and I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties.

The Duke of Munster frowned, but in the next second he took out an antique bronze mirror from his arms and quickly shone it at Exter. With a flash of light, Exter disappeared on the spot.

Soon after, Admiral Edward and the monk were also illuminated by the light beam and disappeared instantly. Finally, it was the Duke of Munster.

At this moment, only the mirror was left, floating in the air, but the entire mirror surface had become as illusory as mist, as if it was not in this world.

"Mirror of Waves!"

"This is a holy weapon!"

The successive incidents almost made everyone present overwhelmed.

Cult legends, ascetics, and holy objects appear one after another.

At this moment, a group of people in black robes suddenly rushed out from all directions of the hall, and a tall man in black robe, exuding a strong aura, walked in.

The effect of the evil magic array began to show at this moment, and many people clearly felt an invisible binding force appearing around them.

This made everyone a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Ryan frowned slightly and decided to wait and see for the time being, because he didn't know if the Empire had any other tricks up its sleeve.

"Hehe, it's a pity that so many beautiful noble ladies and ladies don't have time to enjoy themselves." After looking around, Burriges grinned and said. Burriges was not worried at all about what kind of waves this group of people in front of him could stir up.

A second-level evil magic array has been set up all around.

This formation has three functions: strengthening, suppressing and sacrificing.

Strengthening means strengthening the strength of one's own personnel, and in this evil magic formation, his quasi-legendary strength will be strengthened to near the quasi-legendary limit, almost like a legend!
Suppression means suppressing the enemy's strength.

Of course, in his eyes, none of these young men present were quasi-legends, let alone top knights.

To put it simply, there is no one who can fight!
The suppressing function of the evil magic circle is really a bit of a waste.

Moreover, even if one or two peak knights really appeared, their strength would be suppressed to the level of senior knights. After their strength dropped a level, what could they use to fight him?
"However, it would be a pity if some of you died like this." Boriggs stroked his chin with his right hand playfully, his eyes lingering on a few people, and said.

"You, you, and you, the three of you, come here obediently and I can spare your lives!" With lust in his eyes, Burriggs pointed at the three women.

The beautiful noble lady that Burriggs pointed to first was suddenly a little panicked.

A young man next to her, also one of the new barons, suddenly blushed, not knowing whether it was because he was her suitor or boyfriend.

He immediately stood up, as if he was about to launch an attack.

But the next second, the whole person was hit by a cylindrical ball of black flame, and immediately turned into a burning fireman, howling in pain!
"Oh no! Awades!" The beautiful young noble lady looked terrified and covered her mouth with her hands.

"Black flame wall, level 2 sorcery, everyone be careful, the opponent is at least a level 2 sorcerer." Neoro whispered.

Just now, Ryan was watching the other party with interest as he was saying some things that he thought were a bit funny. At the same time, he was taking this opportunity to observe the other party's strength and wait for the possible backup plan of the Empire.

But the scene just now made his face look ugly all of a sudden.

Because among the three women named by the other party, two were sitting next to him, namely the beautiful woman Jennifer and the red-haired Evelyn.

"What did you say just now? I don't think I heard it clearly. Please say it again." Ryan said with a calm expression, slowly stood up and said.

"Hey, you're not bad! You're actually a great knight, which is rare. Very good, you are qualified to hear me tell you again." Briggs looked at Ryan with a little surprise.

After all, the black flame wall he had just used burned a young knight to charcoal, but it didn't scare the other party. This made Boriggs feel a little interesting.

It was like he had just stepped on a crab to death, and then another stronger crab crawled out next to it. That was how he felt at the moment.

I just think it's interesting, looking down on it from a high position and with a sense of mockery.

"I said let her come with her. It seems that these two people are yours? You are so lucky! How about this, if you are willing to be a bystander, I might spare your life."

Briggs seemed to understand the relationship between Ryan and the two women, and instantly thought of a more exciting way, and he couldn't help but feel eager to do it.

"Then go to die!"

Before he finished speaking, Boriggs felt a flash before his eyes, and alarm bells rang in his heart instantly!

But at this moment he had no time to cast more powerful sorcery. He could only instinctively protect his chest with his hands, and slightly bent his legs in a blocking defensive posture. A black shield immediately appeared on his body, as if it was a natural witchcraft protecting his body.

At the same time, black flame vines instantly wrapped around his body.

The guests who were originally watching the ceremony on both sides of Ryan's aisle were now thrown to the ground as if they were blown by a hurricane.

At this moment, the long skirts of many ladies and young ladies had been lifted up and covered their heads, revealing a pair of dazzlingly white and plump thighs.

This is the reason why Ryan slowly stood up and took two steps away instead of launching a direct attack.

Because the airflow generated when he sprinted at full speed was comparable to the muzzle storm of a cannon. Even if the top knight Evelyn next to him could withstand it, the beautiful woman Jennifer was just an ordinary person and definitely could not bear it.

A silver figure drew a straight line and suddenly appeared in front of Briggs, holding a dark warhammer that suddenly appeared in his hand.

It was the top-level secret technique, 'Hammer of Annihilation', performed at almost full strength!
"boom!!!"

Black flame protection, broken!

The innate sorcery 'Shadow Shield' is broken!

The hammer of hardened platinum instantly deformed, breaking through the double defense and hitting heavily on the crossed forearms of Briggs!
"Bang!!"

Borrigus was like being hit by a giant beast, his two forearms were folded in an unnatural state, and his whole body was blown away for more than ten meters like a cannonball!

"boom!!"

His entire body was embedded in the marble wall behind the ceremonial platform.

At this moment, the hard marble surface showed a crater-like depression, and radiating in all directions were densely packed spider-web-like cracks.

“Cough~~~Cough~~~”

I saw Briggs vomiting blood and sliding down the wall softly, like a pool of rotten meat without bones.

At this moment, Burriggs was so angry!

He is one of the senior leaders of the association and is responsible for activities in nearly half of the province of Münster.

Moreover, the person who was very likely to succeed Lord Exeter and become the high priest of the province of Munster was beaten so badly by an unknown person who came out of nowhere!
The key point is that the opponent has such strong strength, but launched a surprise attack!

He only used 50% to 60% of his strength before he was severely injured.

In a rage, more blood came out of Boriggs' mouth, and his face turned red!
He struggled to get up and fight back, but his hands were already shattered and fractured, and more than a dozen ribs in his chest were broken and inserted into his lungs, making it extremely difficult for him to move.
Tried several times without success.
"Lord Briggs!" The Black Flame monks on the side stared at this scene in amazement, the shock in their hearts was beyond words!
Lord Berrigos is a second-level sorcerer who specializes in physical enhancement and combat.

His combat capability was even higher than that of an average Level 2 liquefied wizard, but with just one strike, he was beaten into this state by the young man in front of him!

Could this be the empire's back-up plan?

Did their action fail just like that?

"Fuck!"

"It appeared, it appeared again! It's that hammer!" A new sword-bearer who came to be awarded the medal pointed excitedly at the miserable Briggs and introduced him to his relatives beside him.

"It's worthy of being called Meister's battering ram! It turns out that there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames!" another new sword-wielding man exclaimed.

"I feel like Lord Ryan's hammer is even more powerful. It was just like that last time. He knocked down the Obsidian Giant with one hammer!"

"Yeah, this time it was even more powerful. It knocked down a quasi-legend of a cult with just one strike! It's so fucking amazing!"

The new sword bearers who came to participate in the awarding ceremony were immediately excited when they saw Ryan's power, as if they had found their backbone.

"Go on, kill them!"

After hearing everyone's voices, Burriges naturally knew the name of the 'unknown' in front of him - 'Ryan'.

Hey!
It's this guy!
It turns out that Freeman was not lying!
I always thought that this guy was making excuses for the failure of the mission. Damn, there really is such a monster!
Ryan walked forward and gently hit the panicked Briggs with a hammer.

With a 'pop' sound on the head!
A transparent human-shaped shadow appeared from the body of Borrigus whose head had just been shattered, with a look of pain on his face.

Then, as if being caught in a tornado, it dragged a long transparent shadow, struggled to circle around Ryan several times, and then rushed into the dark hardened platinum hammer in his hand!
Ryan's momentum in killing the other party's top leaders in one fell swoop naturally attracted everyone present to launch attacks on the surrounding Black Flame Monks.

As one side gained strength while the other lost, the Black Flame monks whose strength was enhanced by the evil magic array were actually forced to retreat step by step!

Ryan first comforted the beautiful woman Jennifer, and asked Vieri and Evelyn to protect each other.

He himself went on the field again and smashed the heads of those dying Black Flame Monks one by one.

All I saw were transparent shadows, all with painful expressions on their faces, surrounding Ryan and being absorbed into the hammer in his hand.

This scene made the Black Flame monks tremble with fear!

Not leaving a single person alive?

Damn, why does this guy look more cruel than the average dark wizard!

Soon, all the Black Flame monks were killed and fled in defeat.
Ryan quickly gathered the ten soul energies needed for the "Soul Shattering Strike".

Since the 'Wave Mirror' had obviously pulled Admiral Edward and his men into a mysterious place, Ryan was unable to join the battle on Admiral Edward's side for a while.

In fact, if it was not necessary, Ryan had no intention of joining the other side's battle.

The purpose of stacking ten portions of soul energy was for emergency use.

"Captain, look over there!" Vieri frowned and pointed in a certain direction outside the window.

"It seems that the giant evil spirit is getting closer and closer to the captain's mansion." Angus said with narrowed eyes.

Ryan followed the two people's gaze.

The entire urban structure of Münster is built along the mountain and extends from the bottom to the top to the halfway point of the mountain.

At this moment, the administrative hall where they were was halfway up the mountain, close to the highest point in the city - the Griffin Terrace.

Ryan could clearly see an oversized translucent shadow of a little boy, leading a girl puppet, wreaking havoc on the houses that looked like toy squares, moving step by step from the trade area towards the administrative area!

Teams of people wearing security guard and city guard uniforms surrounded it and urgently evacuated the people nearby.

Those responsible for fighting and restraining the enemy were the Punishment Knight Brandul, who had just passed by, and the Duke of Munster's advisor.

But it seemed that because the church's formation was destroyed last time, Brando no longer had the effect of the light beam, and the battle situation showed a state of slowly losing.

Several griffin knights were hovering in the sky, constantly interfering and throwing short spears to attack, but unfortunately, facing an enemy like a spirit, their effect was minimal.

Seeing this scene, Ryan turned his head and said, "Neoro, cast Feather Fall on me!"
