The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 307 Projection (two chapters in one)

"Great God of Hunting, you are the eternal light, the rising sun, bringing dawn and hope to the world."

As Exter chanted, the evil magic circle suddenly erupted with surging energy waves.

This energy fluctuation was so powerful that the Duke of Munster and Admiral Edward both changed color and quickly retreated outside the area of ​​the evil magic circle.

Just at this time, the sound of dense footsteps was heard outside the main entrance of the administrative hall.

Although most of the decorated barons and viscounts escorted their relatives to evacuate first after the attack, there were still a large number of elite guards in the administrative hall.

After defeating most of the Black Flame Monks, the guards returned to the hall again.

Upon seeing the injured Duke of Munster and Admiral Edward, the guards were shocked and ran forward to help them.

But as soon as they stepped into the core area of ​​the evil magic circle, they seemed to be trapped in a swamp. The powerful obstruction almost made them unable to move.

To take a step or stretch out a hand, one needs to exert all one's strength and spend dozens of times more time. Suddenly, the guards who stepped into the evil magic formation seemed to be moving in slow motion.

However, this is not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing was that streams of black air like pythons emerged from the ground, wrapped around their calves, and quickly swirled upwards.

For a moment, these elite guards, whose strength was roughly at the level of formal knights, began to tremble all over, as if they could not control their bodies. It was as if the blood in their bodies had its own consciousness and was being attracted by some invisible force.

At this moment, the guards who were trapped in the evil magic circle had bright red blood oozing out from their ears, nose, mouth and even eyes. The blood was floating in the air like tiny blood snakes, and was quickly gathering towards where Exter was!

This horrifying scene made everyone exclaim in shock.

"Get out quickly! Those who are not strong enough to reach the level of a great knight, don't come in!" The Duke of Munster waved his hands vigorously at the guards who kept coming, looking anxious and shouting.

At this moment, the area where the Duke of Munster and Admiral Edward were located was closer to the core of the evil magic circle, and the air was heavy as if it was filled with mud.

Although they were able to control the movement of blood in their bodies, it seemed as if there were thousands of hands grabbing at their feet.

Being seriously injured, even with their strength, it was extremely difficult for them to retreat and their movements were slow.

"Great God of Hunting, please accept my humble sacrifice." Exter's chanting became louder and louder, and his face became more and more fanatical and excited!
He first focused his attention on the dying ascetic of the Goddess Church.

He just stretched out his right hand and made a virtual clench. In an instant, the other person was surrounded and penetrated by a huge amount of black air, and quickly stood up with his hands wide open.

The next second, the ascetic monk who originally exuded a sacred and indifferent aura suddenly began to tremble like a sieve, and his eyes rolled up!

With the last scream, it exploded!

The blood, broken organs, broken bones, etc. that originally belonged to the ascetic monk splashed around and covered the center of the evil magic formation.

Inspired by this, the ceremony suddenly reached its climax!
As if they were inspired by their own high priest, after feeling the atmosphere of the prayer ceremony becoming stronger, the remaining Black Flame monks who had originally dispersed around them emerged from the side door again.

With fanatical looks on their faces, they knelt down in the center of the sorcery formation and prayed loudly.

Compared to the shocked expressions on the faces of the Duke of Munster and Admiral Edward at this moment, Exeter's face was filled with immense excitement and joy!

You know, he paid a lot of hard work and effort in order to successfully enter the level of the third-level crystallized wizard.

But this is the limit of his qualifications.

Opportunity is something that cannot be grasped.

Without external forces, his strength will never be significantly improved during his lifetime.

But the God of Hunting gave him another choice!

next second!
A surge of black energy appeared out of thin air around Exter like a tornado, and slowly lifted him up into the air.

And there were flashes of black lightning all over his body!
An indescribable aura of horror spread!
It seems that a higher-level being has paid some attention here.

And the aura of Exter began to rise suddenly!
"Hahaha!"

Exter found that not only were all the injuries on his body healed in an instant, but his body also began to be filled with huge amounts of energy. This feeling made him feel better than ever!

at the same time.

In the trade zone, at the battlefield of evil spirits.

The two griffin knights who came to support in the sky, after seeing the battle situation clearly, quickly circled down from the sky.

This griffin knight was Fisher.

Fisher got off the griffin, looked anxious, and quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly to Ryan and the other two, and said, "Lord Ryan, Lord Brandor, Lord Minor, the situation in the administrative office is not good, and we urgently need your support."

"You three adults can take our griffin and go there immediately."

Ryan and the other two looked at each other, nodded, and immediately stepped forward and climbed onto the griffin.

Minor wanted to ask about the secret of Ryan's hammer, but now was not the right time.

As the griffin soared into the sky.

Fisher, who was controlling the griffin in front, said quickly: "Lord Ryan, the situation is not good. The leader of the Black Flame Cult is extremely powerful this time."

"Even when the Duke and Admiral Edward joined forces, they were defeated and seriously injured."

"Huh? Is the situation so bad?" Ryan frowned.

You know, whether it is the Duke of Munster or Admiral Edward, judging from the aura they just revealed, their strength is slightly higher than his.

What's more, there is a stronger ascetic monk cooperating with him.

In this case, the three of them were defeated even when they joined forces?

This made Ryan feel a little uneasy.

"Yes, Lord Ryan, it was him who activated the evil magic circle again." Fisher nodded quickly.

He admired Ryan very much. Although he was younger than him, he was much stronger than him.

Ever since he saw Ryan fighting the ancient hero Monger, Fisher changed his idol from Viscount Felke to Ryan.

Administrative Office.

At this time, the support forces from the Sword Bearers branch also rushed into the administrative hall.

The leaders happened to be Ryan's old acquaintances, Rock Squad captain Batista and Remiel and others.

In fact, this is also the highest-level team currently on rest in the Sword Bearer branch. Since Rossby County and Meister County are still fighting with the sea tribe, most of the Sword Bearer teams have already been sent out.

The door on the other side of the hall suddenly opened at this time. Leading the way was another Punishment Knight who looked not much different from Brandur, also holding a silver two-handed warhammer.

Behind him were more than five patriarchs and dozens of Knights Templar.

This means that the support forces from the Goddess Church have arrived at this time!

Seeing this, the Duke of Munster held on and shouted, "Quick! Interrupt the other party's promotion!"

The two supporting forces immediately noticed Exter, who was floating in the air with his aura rising continuously, and they reacted one after another. All kinds of witchcraft and divine arts were bombarded at Exter, who was surrounded by black air, like fireworks released during a ceremony.

However, these colorful energy attacks were blocked by a large amount of black gas that was swirling around like a tornado just a few meters away from Exter's body.

Close combat is almost impossible.

Seven or eight Templar Knights and Sword Bearers, holding swords and shields, had just stepped into the sorcery circle, and they were like flies caught in flypaper, almost unable to move.

Fortunately, teammates nearby quickly pulled them out.

In the core area of ​​the sorcery formation, combatants below the level of Grand Knight are simply unable to control their own blood and body fluids.

Basically, come one, get one free.

Instead, it will become the nourishment for Exter's promotion ceremony!

Batista and the Punishment Knight were the only ones who could rush into the sorcery formation and not be greatly affected.

"Batista, don't worry about us yet, interrupt his promotion!"

"Otherwise, once he is promoted, there may be no one in the whole of Munster who can resist him." Admiral Edward struggled to hold on and said solemnly to Batista who was planning to rescue him.

"That's right! Once he succeeds in getting promoted, he will be an epic-level warrior, and no one will be able to stop him in Munster!" The Duke of Munster said with a heavy face.

Batista nodded solemnly, took out a replica of the emperor's scepter from behind him, and threw it towards the huge black cyclone floating in the air at lightning speed!
In an instant, the imitation of the emperor's scepter burst out with a surging and magnificent aura, colliding violently with Exter's black airflow.

But as a third-level crystallized wizard, Exter is much stronger than the chief priest at the county city level.

Even the imitation of the Emperor's Scepter was unable to break through the black tornado's defenses at this moment. After merely making a dent in the black tornado, it ran out of energy and fell to the ground.

However, Batista's attack also attracted Eckster, who was originally planning to attack the Duke of Munster.

He just raised his hand and pointed his palm at Batista. Suddenly, a black beam of light as big as a bowl rushed straight towards Batista!

"boom!"

In an instant, Batista, who was holding a shield, was knocked back more than ten meters. The shield in his hand was broken at just a touch, and at the same time, Batista's entire left hand was almost completely broken.

With just one strike, a top knight was crippled!

This kind of power is almost despairing.

Suddenly, Exter's originally happy face suddenly changed color!
"not good!"

"This power. No! Great God of Hunting, you can't.!"

"what!!!"

Exter let out a scream, and suddenly lost control. The originally orderly black energy suddenly became violent.

He was also spinning rapidly in the air, and the suction force increased sharply!

Originally, Exter could still control the rhythm of the entire ceremony, but just now it seemed that a majestic existence projected a trace of power onto this evil magic formation and onto him.

Even though Exter was a level 3 crystal wizard, he could not bear the blessing of such a great power. Of course, maybe he overestimated his willpower, and under the influence of the whispers and powerful energy, he lost himself and absorbed too much.

At this moment, the trickle of blood and essence sucking suddenly increased by at least ten times. The corpses around that had not been dealt with in time were all turned into food for the ritual.

The next second, not only the essence and blood, but also the skin and flesh of those insufficiently powerful people in the evil magic formation were all absorbed by 'Exter'.

This horrifying scene frightened the Black Flame monks who were participating in the prayer ceremony nearby, and they kept backing away!
"not enough!!"

"All of you, come into my arms!!"

Following Exter's extremely high-pitched roar, which sounded like an inhuman roar!

In an instant, the red light of the ritual suddenly expanded and took in all the Black Flame Monks around. The next second, these Black Flame Monks screamed as all the flesh and skin on their bodies were sucked away, leaving only bloody bones on the ground!

It seems to have reached a certain critical value.

The red light no longer spread, but instead shrank rapidly.

Exter, who was originally spinning, now stopped quietly in mid-air. A low, inexplicable and terrifying voice came out strangely from Exter's mouth.

"What a disgusting smell."

With a light flick of his finger, a black beam of light as thick as a bowl rushed straight into the defense formation of the Goddess Church. The leading Punishment Knight roared, but was a little slow in swinging his hammer to block the attack.

The extremely condensed black beam of light instantly pierced through his chest armor and came out from his back. The aftermath also penetrated several Templar Knights behind him!
"puff!"

This Punishment Knight, who was extremely similar to Brandoir, vomited blood and fell to his knees, but he still tried to support himself with the two-handed warhammer in his hands to avoid falling!
midair.

"Lord Ryan, be careful, I'm about to land!" Fisher shouted, and quickly controlled the griffin to dive down quickly.

Suddenly, Ryan and his companions who were preparing to land discovered that the five black light beams that were originally surrounding the administrative hall seemed to be attracted by some force and were rapidly gathering towards the center.

The next second, they merged into a huge black light column that was several times thicker than the previous one.

The beam of light instantly pierced through the top of the administrative hall and shot straight into the sky.

At the same time, even those in mid-air could clearly feel the surging energy and the terrifying aura that was rushing towards them.

It took the combined efforts of several griffin knights to prevent the terrified griffin under their crotch from losing control!
"Not good! Hurry up!" Branduer, the Punishment Knight on another Griffin Knight, seemed to have thought of something and urged.

From the top of the broken hall, Ryan could clearly see the scene inside which looked like a slaughterhouse, and his own people who were completely at a disadvantage.

"Brandor!" Brandol's pupils suddenly shrank!
Because he saw that his brother, the Punishment Knight Brannar, was kneeling on the ground with a bloody hole the size of a washbasin on his chest, but his body was still standing because he had been holding a two-handed warhammer tightly to support his body.

Brando didn't hesitate at all. He was filled with grief and anger and jumped down from a height of more than ten meters in the air!

The Duke's advisor at the side interjected at the right time, verifying Ryan's guess.

"That is Brandoel's brother, his only living relative."

Ryan looked solemn and nodded.

The two were silent for a moment, then quickly followed Brando who was rushing forward.

Seeing your loved ones, or even your only loved ones, die in front of you, this feeling
"Lord Branduer!" When the surviving members of the church saw Branduer coming, they all stepped forward excitedly.

"Everyone, the goddess is watching everything here."

"Now, it's time to test your courage."

"Faced with a powerful enemy, we are fearless!"

"., worthy of God's grace!"

As Brandoer sang loudly, all the Knights Templar, with excited faces, also started singing.

And with every line Brandoir sang, his overall momentum grew.

The five priests on the side looked at each other, nodded, and their faces were extremely solemn.

Then, several people chanted spells and performed magic together.

I saw their palms facing outwards, and a strong blue energy gathered half a meter in front of them.

The next second, five blue energy beams shone on Brando at the same time!

Suddenly, Brando's aura suddenly rose sharply, jumping from quasi-legendary level to legendary level!

This immediately attracted the high-level being that occupied Exter's body.

He glanced at Brando with indifferent eyes and said coldly:
"Just a stronger ant."

"It's really asking for death!"

A cold, strange word, as if devoid of any human emotion, came out of the other person's mouth.

This instantly reminded Ryan of a term from his previous life called the 'uncanny valley effect'.

Although the other party spoke human words, the strange voice and tone made it seem as if some unknown creature was imitating human speech, giving people a feeling of horror and fear.

Ryan looked at the scene in front of him, and then looked around at his own fighters who were almost all seriously injured, including Admiral Edward, Batista, Remiel and others.

He knew that at this moment, he could not retreat!

If he didn't want to see his family lying in a pool of blood like Brando, he had to do something.

Because once this monster, who is not sure whether it is a human or an evil god, truly completes the ritual, then afterwards, it is likely that not many people in the entire Münster will be able to survive.

Ryan's mind moved slightly!

As if they had heard a call, the greyhound 'Cookie' in Ryan's mansion, the trotting wildebeest 'Blackie' and the blood-feathered horned eagle 'Blood Feather' in the sky, all rushed towards Ryan's current location.

Ryan drew out his two-handed warhammer and looked directly at Exeter!
Most of the opponent's attention at this moment is focused on Brando, who is at the legendary level.

There was a rich blue light on Brando's body, as solid as amber!
Facing the oncoming black light column, the silver war hammer in his hand was pointed directly in front of the black light column at the critical moment.

"boom!"

One black and one blue, two powerful energies began to wrestle!

Despite the praises of many Knights Templar and the divine blessings of five priests, Brandoel's situation was still very bad.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Every crisp sound meant that a Templar Knight had fallen heavily!

Faced with such a fearless scene, 'Exter' obviously focused all his attention on it.

"good chance!"

In an instant, the ground beneath Ryan's feet suddenly shattered, and he rushed straight to Exter in the center of the evil magic circle like a silver lightning!
With the blessing of the Force and the light of will, the hammer in Ryan's hand broke into the energy-surging evil magic circle with unstoppable force.

"Hammer of Annihilation!"

The dark two-handed warhammer in Ryan's hand hit the opponent's black tornado, and immediately opened a small hole.

"Ok?"

'Exter' turned around and looked surprised!

It seemed that he had not expected that someone could break through his external defenses.

"Soul-shattering impact!"

Suddenly, an invisible wave directly hit the opponent!
"what!!!"

In an instant, the other party let out a scream, which was extremely shrill, as if he had suffered great harm.

But the counterattack came instantly. The opponent's hands, condensed with extremely dense black light, suddenly hit Ryan's chest.

The magicized silver shield used by the witchcraft 'Metal Barrier' was broken in an instant!

The mithril carved breastplate will break at the slightest touch!
Even Ryan's final "Advanced Steel Body" still couldn't block the opponent's attack!
"Crack!"

Ryan's sternum was completely shattered, and a bowl-sized bump suddenly appeared on his back. He was instantly knocked dozens of meters away!
After launching this attack, Exter started to feel unwell.

His body twitched as if sifting chaff, and that trace of majestic aura seemed to slowly disappear under the impact of the shattered soul.

Although the opponent's aura disappeared with Ryan's attack, Exter was not dead, but in a state of.
How should I put it, it’s a rather weird state of balance!
As a third-level crystallized wizard, his own soul strength is not weak. It's just that he encountered a sudden projection of a higher status and was unable to resist for a while.

But Ryan's move just now shattered a trace of the projection of the higher level, and at the same time, directly and severely damaged the original soul of Exter.

This has caused the other party to be a little confused now.

However, Exter was still affected by some indescribable force.

"Flesh!" he kept whispering.

"flesh!"

His whole body swelled up like a balloon, and he acted completely on instinct, grabbing the survivors around him.

Unfortunately, a guard was caught by him, and in an instant, only a pile of bones was left, and all the blood, flesh and skin were devoured and absorbed.

And Exter had now become extremely strange. Not only was his face completely unrecognizable, but his skin was also bulging all over his body, as if it couldn't hold so much flesh and blood, but it was still being forced in.

After a strange transformation, what appeared before everyone was a huge fat man who was four meters tall and three meters wide.

At this time, in a corner of the hall.

The location where Ryan was knocked away.

A large hand wearing a silver plate glove stretched out from the rubble and touched the huge greyhound war dog that suddenly appeared.
